k GENTLEMAN
mh> living in St. Al-
Jsi\ bans street, Lon
frdsl /don, some years
\u/ ago, had a dog
fiisSwr" ,ne" ° * the small
B Newfoundland
W remarkable s a -
19 ff m gaeity. The gen
ii*/ W tleman's brother
street. The dog,
having navigated long in a revenue
cutter, was named Boatswain. One
day the Swedish butler of the gentle
man who lived in Brook street told him
that Boatswain bad come to his house
between 4 2 aud 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and had passed the nignt there.
The gentleman asked how that could
be, as the house was shut up.
The butler explained that he was
awakened from his sleep by a single
rap at the door. Ho looked out of the
window and soon heard more raps, and
then a noise as of some one falling.
He ran down and opened the door, and
immediately Boatswain ran in, wag
ging his tail and looking as if he were
asking a favor.
What that favor was he immediately
showed to be a night's lodging by curl
ing himself up 011 the mat in the hall
and arranging himself to sleep. Thus
he remained until morning, when the
mystery was explained. It seemed
that on the preceding day Boatswain
had behaved badly, and his master had
given him a horse-whipping. Verv in
dignant, he fled from the house and
wandered about for some eight or nine
hours, till his wrath was so far cooled
as to lead him to seek an asylum in the
house of his master's brother. He had
learned the way to gain admission into
a house, though his knocking was
somewhat awkwardly performed by
leaps, which brought his nose or one
of his paws in contact with the
knocker. -- Chicago Ledaer.
Building from the Koof Down.
A visitor to Japan tells of the pecu
liar methods of construction employed
in that country. Speaking of house
building, the Japanese begin their
work at the top. The roof goes on first,
and then they begin to build the walls
and oonßtruot the interior. One of the
greatest curiosities to see in Tokio is a
new hotel which is being built. It is
to be on the foreign stvle, and is to
have four stories. It will be the great
est hotel in Japan. It covers about an
acre of ground. As yet not a stone of
the foundation has been laid, but the
roof is already up, and this stands on
a great four-story skeleton of scaffold
ing awaiting the building of the rest of
the structure. This scaffolding is made
of long poles, from the size and thick
ness of n campaign flagstaff down to
the size of a bambo fishing rod, and
the whole is tied together with ropes.
Imagine an acre of scaffolding of this
nature upholding a heavy roof, aud the
whole mado up of slicks and ordinary
rope. There are, I was told at the
office, seven thousand poles in the
skeleton, and two thousand men had
been at work for montliß in making it

N Santa Cruz County,
yfjr California, on the line
[II of railway connecting
fpj the cities of San Jose
99 and Santa Cruz, is e
fi* fine grove of the great
km trees known as the
KM Sequoia semper virens.
E W The railway passes

[ on the trains going
either way can get out
at "Big Tree" station
aud have time
to examine some of
the giants of the
forest. Chief among tflPTsr
these is the interest
ing and historical tree jSjL.
known as the "Gen- MjflS
eral Fremont," from cvjij
the fact that the great (vsra
"Pathfinder" made M
the hollow in the base
his headquarters for tjmw
some time in the year
18-10. This tree is one
of a half dozen stand- vyf/
ing on the eiroumfer
ence of a circle about xtwft
forty feet in diameter. ySjJrJt
This arrangement is
characteristic of the HE
sequoias, and illd i -
cates that those now
standing are, after T#
all, " second-growth " B
trees, the offspring of S
a still larger one that ®
centuries gone by
occupied the whole of
the circular space y
upon whose boundary CONK or BCUDGIX P.M
line they stand. The SJfl! sizr*""
positiou of the trees forming the "Fre-
810 TREK PARTLY CUT DOWN
Mont Group" is as shown in the
accompanying sketch (No. 1).
No. 1 in the sketch is the "Fremont,"
forty-six feet in circumference, and
247 feet high. The JL
hollow in its massive
trunk is entered at the
point "A," and on the
opposite sides, holes 4c—s
were cut long ago to 4 — 1
give light to the inter- I
ior, which has a diame- I
ter of eight feet,
a "ceiling about tliir- T swf
ty feet above the
ground. No. 2 is called
"Jumbo," from tlie W'
fact that on one side" l:l> wooD SEEDLING
there is a huge knot shaped like an
elephant's head.
This tree is 47 feet in circumference
and 270 feet high. Next come the
"Three Sisters," marked 3, 3 and 4.
Two of these make a double tree,
partly hollowed out by tire, and in this
hollow nre the relics of an old camping
cook's "outfit." Nos. 5 and 6 are not
named, but are equally as line trees as
those mentioned. About most of them
—as elsewhere in the grove—grow
smaller trees that, in time, will stand
as their parents now do about the
ruins of their ancestors. '
It has been computed that such
trees as the "Fremont," "Jumbo," and
JDMHO.
the "Giant" (a noble tree over 300 feet
high and 53 feet in circumference,
standing near at hand) are from 800 to
1,000 years old. What must have been
the age of the parent tree of the Fre
mont group, whose circumference was
over 200 feet and height perhaps 000
feet ?
In tho grove the "Cathedral" and
the "Y. M. C. A." groups are splendid
clusters of superb trees, showing this
same circular arrangement, while in
other j daces are shallow, broad pits,
with portions of tho shells or outer
bark of the ancient trees still standing
about the edge.
One tree, named "Tho Chimney,"
illustrates the vitality of the sequoias
as long as any considerable part of the
thick bark is uninjured. "The Chim
ney" is a tree about 8 feet in diameter
aud 150 feet in height, that has been
burnt out completely in the center to
the height of a hundred feet, and is
still green aud fresh, with foliage high
up in the air. The bark of tlieso trees
is very thick, specimens being shown
that are from 10 to 30 inches in thick
ness.
Everything about the trees is on a
grand scale except the cones, and these
are ridiculously small in comparison to
the tree they grow on. The seeds con
tained in these cones are only about
i-inch in diameter, and quite thin.
The young trees (seedlings) spring
up quite thickly, but are almost all
killed out by dry weather, fires, and
overcrowding. The wood is in great
demand, aud almost everywhere in the
redwood forests the saw and ax are
busy felling these magnificent and
unique "giants of the forest." — F. L.
Clarke in Chicago Ledger.
One of the Nicest of Entrees.
One of the most delicious of the
many dishes which French chefs serve
lu perfection is the tinibale. This may
bo a sweet dish, but is usually an
entree—a ragout served in paste. It
may be a large disli, but it is not the
large timbale which is treated here,
but the "petite timbales" which arc
cooked in little dariole molds or tin
cups with straight sides the size of
wine glasses.
Many chefs use a simple paste, such
as is used for pies; small macaroni or
spaghetti is also used; but the most
delicious timbales of all are those made
with a paste of the raw breast o)
eliickeus, with bread, aud the white ol
eggs and cream. All excellent recipe
for this elaliorate preparation may be
found in Miss Parloa's "Kitchen Com
panion." A simple rule is to line lit
tle dariole molds with flue, short, pie
crust, cut into squares a raw piece ot
fillet of veal weighing about a pound
and a half; pound it to a paste, add
five or six chicken livers, if you have
them, if not, two large ones will do
nicely. Fry the livers in a little but
ter, add them to the veal, and pound
the whole till it is a well-mixed paste;
add three taldesjHxmfuls rich" gravy.
Rub the veal paste through a
sieve, add a quarter of a pound of ham
cut in dice, season the mixture with
salt, pepper and a few drops of onion
juice; add a little rich sauce—only
enough to prevent the mixture becom
ing dry. Fill the buttered timbale
molds and let them bake twenty-five
minutes. At the end of this time re
move them from the oven, turn them
out on a platter, and serve them with
a nice brown mushroom sauce.
This recipe is excellent with maca
roni substituted for the paste. Select
long strips of macaroni (do not break
them); boil them in water ten minutes
to soften them ; begin at the bottom of
the timbale molds and lino them with
the macaroni, curving it around to fit
the bottom and sides. As soon as tho
timbale molds are lined witli tho
macaroni, mask it with a little of the
veal mixture mixed with the white of
a raw egg; then fill the timbales with
the mixture. Truffles and bits of
tongue cut in ornamental pieces nre
frequently used to decorate timbales.
These little dainty entrees are as often
served without a sauce on a napkin as
in any way.
A Mistaken Property.
"Tell you what, a man needs to be a
good judge of human nature to get
along well in my business," said the
tramp. "But I will admit that I got
fooled the other day, though it doesn't
happen often."
"How was that?"
"Well, 1 went up to a seedy-looking

noHe you ever saw -and struck him for
a dime to get a drink. You know a

get a dram where he wouldn't give you
a cent to buy a meal. Now that's
where I made a mistake. Tho old cock
was a Prohibitionist, and instead of
putting up a stake he had me run in
for a vag, and for six months. I have
actually been at hard labor. It's tough,
though, for a man to be deceived in liis
estimate of human nature that way, I
tell you."— l'erre Haute Express.
He Came Out a Winner.
A couple of old salts met after a long

conversation ensued:
A—Well, old man, how are you get
ting on?
B—First rate; I have taken a wife.
A—-A very sensible idea.
B—Not a bit of it; she's a regular
Tartar!
A—Then I'm sorry for you, mate.
B—There's no need; she bought me
a large vessel as her marriage por
tion.
A—Then you made a good bargain
after all!
B—Nothing to boast of, I can tell
yon; the ship turned out a worthless
old tinder box.
A—Then I'm sorry I spoke.
B—Bah! you can speak as much as
jyoulike! The old tub was well in
sured and went down on her first
'voyage.
j A—So you got the pull there, any
,how ?
B—Not so inuoh mate; I only got
five thousand dollars out of tho job as
my share.
A—That was too bad!
B—Too bad? Nothing of the sort!

the rest.

Juvenile Depravity.
Juvenile precocity is remarkable in
the suicidal direction, as statistics have
proved, and as has just been illustrated
i in Paris by the act of a boy of twelve,
who lias deliberately killed himself from
| n broken heart. The cause of the cliild
l ish grief was, moreover,in itself a strange
! one. The lad, it seems, took a rope and
hanged himself in his bedroom for love,
his sweetheart being a girl of ten. Her
mother, for some reason, hud forbidden
the boy to play any more with the little
girl, a neighbor's daughter, hinting that
if he disobeyed he would receive a severe
whipping. The child began to cry and
sob, declaring that he could not live
j without the society of his little friend; ;
I but no importance was attached to his .
words. During the night, however, that
| followed this bitter day in the existence
!of the jouthful Jules, lie put an end to 1
j his life, previously writing a letter to i
his girl friend, bidding her an affection- (
i ate farewell, and telling her that, though ;
parted in this world, they would be sure
to meet again iu heaven. When the lit
tle girl is grown up and married, she will
; surely keep in a corner of her heart a
j tender recollection of her twelve-year-old
, lover.—[London Standard.

Marriages in India.
The Bombay Government have under
taken a little fatherly legislation in be
half of some of the Hindoo castes as re
gards their marriage ceremonies. Mar
riage is the occasion of the heaviest ex
penditure in the life of the natives, and
many of them become so indebted to
local money-lenders for their feasts, that
they never recover their freedom again.
Ahmedabad and Kaira are the districts
selected for the new regulations, which
are so precise that the bride's father, at
the betrothal, is not to give a present
worth more than a rupee, ami some betel
nuts, to the bridegroom's father. At
the marriage the present is not to exceed
a hundred rupees. The cocoanuts given
at the procession must not have cost more
I than ten rupees; nor the offering of tin
bride's mother. When the bridegroom
touches his mother-in-law's dress only
two rupees aire to be shed. There are

They spend no money for powders and pills,
And never a dollar for doctors' bills.
The reason the Brown's arc so exempt from sickness is the fact that
by an occasional course of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery they
| keep their blood, which is the fountain of life and strength, pure and
rich. In this way their systems are fortified to ward off attacks of fever,
and other dangerous diseases.
Those not so prudent, who have become sufferers from torpid liver,
biliousness, or " Liver Complaint," or from any of the innumerable dis
eases caused by impure blood, will find the "Golden Medical Discovery"
a positive remedy for such diseases.
Especially has the " Discovery " produced the most marvelous cures
of all manner of Skin and Scalp diseases, Salt-rheum, Tetter, Eczema,
Erysipelas, and kindred diseases. Not less wonderful, have been the
cures effected by it in cases of " Fever-sores," " White Swellings," " Hip
joint Disease," and old sores or ulcers. It arouses all the excretory
organs into activity, thereby cleansing and purifying the system, freeing
it from all manner of blood-poisons, no matter from what source they
have arisen.
" Golden Medical Discovery " is the only blood and liver medicine,
sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from its manufacturers,
of its benefiting or curing in every case, or money paid for it will be
returned. WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Manufacturers,

A Remedy for Diphtheria.
The following remedy is said to be tb©
best known, at least it is worth trying,
for physicians seem powerless to cope
with the disease successfully. At the
first indication of diphtheria in the
throat of a child make the room close;
then take a tin cup and pour into it a
quantity of tar and turpentine, equal
parts. Then hold the cup over a fire so
as to fill the room with fumes. The
little patient, 011 inhaling the fumes, will
cough up and spit out all the mem
branous matter, and the diphtheria will
pass off. The fumes of the tar and tur
pentine loosen the matter in the throat,
and thus afford relief that has battled the
skill of physicians. —[Scientific Ameri
