A Regular Sell. A shnOby-gonteol sort of a man knocked at the door of a small sub urban villa. The one servant of thei establishment "was out, so the mistress herself opened the door. "What do yon want?" she asked, rather Bharply, not much liking his ap pearance. The man looked at her, opened h ; J eyes wide ns if struck with amazement, and said: "Well, madam, I don't want anything. X see I've made a mistake. The fact is, I've come to the wrong house." Then he murmured, but sufficiently loud for the lady to hear: "What a complexion! Never saw such a lovely one in all my life I The pink and white seem to melt into one another. Beautiful! beautiful! If all ladies had such complexions, I might as woll go into the workhouse at once!" The lady had listened to his eulogy on her complexion with visible pleas ure, and, noticing that the man had a box under his arm. asked: "Have you anything to sell?" "Well, madam I have, and I haven't, at least, not to you; for you don't re quire what I have to sell. So I'll say good day, madam, and must apologize for troubling you." "Wait a minute. What is it you have to sell ? " inquired the lady, her curi osity being aroused. "I have, madam—l repeat, it is no good to you—l have, madam, a wonder- | ful wash for the complexion. It's called the 'lily and rose blend,' and is pre- i pared from a recipe nearlv a hundred years old, and was used witL fascinating i effect by some of the great beauties of I France. But, good day, madam, I I won't detain you any longer; as I said before, you don't require a complexion Wash. Art, madam, great as it is, can not compete with Nature." He gave au intense glance of admir ation at the lady, took off his hat, re treated two steps, and then stopped to fiddle with the clasp of his box. "Is it really good for the complex ion ?" asked the lady. "Wonderful, madam, wonderful! but as I have said " "How much is it a bottle?" "One shilling, madam, or two bottlei for one and nine. But " "I'm half inclined to try a bottle," hesitated the lady. "Ofcourse, madam, if you feel chari tably disposed, and would liko to make a present of n bottle or two to some ladv friend who suffers from the great detriment to beauty, a bad oomplexion —good complexions are very rare, madam—l say, should you feel chari tably disposed, madam, why, that's another thing." "Well, I'll take a bottle." " Two for one and nine, madam," said the man, insinuatingly. "Very well, give me two, then." "Thank you, madam. Good-day. I'm extremely obliged to you, madam." Said the lady to herself as she walked indoors: "What a well-spoken man — quite gentlemanly. It's a pity he can't Set some better employment than ped ling," Said the man to himself as he walked down the street, with a boundless, prairie-like smile on his face: "That woman has about the worst oomplexion I've ever seen in my life! It almost made mo bilious to look at her. What gulible creatures women are! If women were fish, how they would bite!" How Base-Balls Are Made. Automatic machines for making base balls have been so successfully con trived that their introduction is liktjy to constitute a praotical industry. Each machine winds two balls at one time, in the following way: "A little para-rubber ball, weighing three-quarters of an ounce, around which ono turn lias been made with the end of a skein of au old-fashioned gray stocking yarn, is slipped into the ma chine, thon another, after which the boy in charge touches a lever, the machine Btarts and the winding begins, Tho rubber ball is thus hidden in a few seconds, and in its place appears a little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows larger and larger. When it appears to bo about half the sizo of the regulation base-ball there Is a click, the machine stops, the yarn Ib cut, tlio boy picks out tho ball" and tosses it into the basket. When this basket is full it is passed along to an other boy, who runs a similar machine, where a half ounce layer of worsted yarn is put on. The next machine adds a strong white cotton thread; a coating of rub ber cement is next applied and a half ounce layer of the very best fine worsted completes the ball with the exception of the cover."— Commercial Advertiser. f> ON® BNJOYB Both the method and reaulta when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant gnd refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the Kidneys liver and Bowels, claanaas the sy tflm effectually, dispels coldA Jhead. aches and fevers end outas habhxtal donstipafcion.

It is 250 Years Old, and Was Worn by a Christian Chief. Ernera Maihi Patuome, son of the reign ing chief of the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, was born in 1704. When Captain Cook, the circumnavigator of the world, visited the territories of Patuomc's father in 1769, that young gentleman was al ready the rising hope of the brave and noble Maori race, which is now practi cally extinct. At an age when American youths arc struggling with the cigarette, he was slaying giant warriors in battle. Patuome, who was destined to live to a remarkable age, became a Christian early in life. Disposition was a very difficult one, for the converted natives were often regarded by their countrymen as traitors. He became known as the Peacemaker, and was instrumental in putting an end to many of the barbarous practices of the Maoris, such as that of widows strangling themselves to accompany their late hus bands to Heaven. When the terrible wars broke out be tween the colonists and the Maoris he di rected his efforts to securing peace, but without much success. He was then very old. He was the most eloquent preacher of Christianity known among the con verted Maoris. He died on September 19, 1872, at the age of 108. It is necessary that tho public should have this information about Patuome, be cause the Metropolitan Museum of Art has just imported the idol which he wore round his neck throughout his life. It was purchased for S2OO from a firm in Auckland, New Zealand. The idol is made of jade, commonly called greeustone, and has red rings for eyes. It is in a fantastic squatting posi tion, with the head bent over the right shoulder at a painful angle. It is an interesting fact that the heads of the South Sea Islanders' idols are us ually bent over the right shoulder. It is flat, about 0 inches long, 3 inches wide and weighs 10 ounces. A thick cord of human hair is passed through a hole in the head of the idol, and a human wrist bone is attached to the I cord. The idol is said to be 250 years j old. Patuome was a sincere Christian, but I wore this idol, and believed in its efficacy | against evil till l>is deatli. Although lie recommended monogamy he himself had ' four wives and believed in fairies. At j one period of his life lie was in the liabit i of eating lately deceased warriors. The idol at present reposes in a cigar | box iu company with a work entitled "The Life and Times and Patuome, the Celebrated Ngapuhi Chief."—[New York Sun. Cromwell's Speech Dissolving Parlia ment. The speech with which Oliver Crom well turned Parliament out of doors in 1053 lias come to light through the re searches of Dr. Wolfgang Michael, and there is strong evidence that it is authen tic. It was this: "It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which ye have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good , government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would—like Esau—sell your country for a mess of pottage, and— like Judas—betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining among you? Is there one vice ye do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered away your consciences for bribes? Is there a man among you that liatli the least care for the good of tho common wealth? Ye sordid hirelings! have ye not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves? By your immoral principles and wicked practices ye are growu intolerably odious to the whole natiou. You, who were deputed here by the people to get their grievances redressed, are yourselves be come their greatest grei vance. Your country, therefore, calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceed ings in this house, and which, by God's help, and the strength He hath given me, lam now come to do. I command you, therefore, upon peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go! Get you out! Make haste! Ye vernal slaves, begone! Soh! Takeaway that shining bauble there, and lock up the door." The Czar's Fit of Economy. The Czar of Russia has been seized with one of those periodical fits of econo my which all good wives know husbands will have about once in so often, and which must be endured, like flies in summer or company in house-cleaning, simply because they arc inevitable. Now, like ordinary households, this autocrat and Emperor of all the Russias, first in stituted his economical reforms by cut ting down the expenses in the royal household, and reduced his wife's allow ance one-half. Poor woman, she re ceived only $300,000 a year iu the first place, and every woman's heart will throb with sympathy for her now. Fancy her trailing about the royal palace in last year's gowus and wearing the same old tiaras and coronets week after week. To be sure, the Czar thought he had just reason for his summary proceeding, for things in the household were not looked after according to a good housewife's do mestic thrift. Evidently the Danish princess didn't go down in the kitchen and see that that the butter for the day was weighed out as it should be und gib lets saved for stock, to say nothing of dish towels being scalded and the re frigerator looked after. One bill which llis Royal Majesty objected to very in considerately was an appropriation of some $750 a year for "lip salve," which some functionary had been drawing, as had his predecessors since the time of ! Catherine 11., through that august lady having once, when suffering from chapped lips, ordered a box of the article. One would think, however, that a man so be set on every side by assassins and mur derers would have trouble enough with out interfering in the housekeeping or looking after the coal bills.—[Brooklyn Citizen. The Decline of Wig-Making. Baldness lias grown so common among men of every age—boys are frequently bald nowadays—that it lias almost ceased to be noticed. Consequently, wigs are very little in demand, and the trade of wig-making has greatly declined. One rarely sees a wig now, except on some very old-fashioned, vory artificial man, addicted to paste diamonds and dyeing his whiskers. If it were not for the wear | ing of wigs on the stage, wig-making would be almost au extinct industry. Forty years ago men prematurely bald ! nearly always donned wigs. They did j not like to be remarkable from the loss of hair. A man is more apt to be remark ' able now from abundant than from insuf ficicnt liair. Every year baldness seems to increase. There is sound reason for the belief that the coming man will heal- j together hairless. Of the cause of this rapidly growing tendency there are many theories, no one of which is satisfactory. Baldness prevails not only in this country, but throughout civilization. Indeed, it may be said that the higher the civiliza tion the greater the deficiency of hair. It seems strange that, in this prolific time of inventions and discoveries, no one has found some method of restoring the hair. The innumerable nostrums advertised are worthless, and the few who try them are incurable believers in quackery. A limit less fortune awaits the genius who can make two hairs grow where hut one has grown before.—[New York Commercial Advertiser. Broom Corn. Broom corn grows readily wherever In dian corn grows. At present prices its production should he profitable. The seven States producing the largest amount are, in their order, Illinois, Kansas, Mis souri, New York, Nebraska, Ohio and lowa. It is planted in drills on rich land —the richer the better—and three and one-half feet apart. When first up it is "scraped;" that is, the dirt is scraped away from each side of the drill, exter minating the weeds. It is then cultivated with the same tools and manner as ordi nary corn. It comes up quite feebly and gjrows slowly at first, hut when a few inches high it takes a start and grows very rapidly. When "brushed" out and the seed has passed the blossom, it is "broken;" that is, the stalks are bent over just below the first joint. If this were not done, the "brush" would be bent down on all sides by the weight of the seed and thus be come crooked and worthless. When "broken," the brush hangs straight and so ripens. It is sometimes "tabled;" that is, the stalks of adjoining rows are broken in opposite directions and low enough so that the heads lap over and lie one upon another. When the seed is nearly ripe, but before the brush has ! turned brown, it is "cut." Iu doing j this, the stalks are cut an inch orso above the first joint, and the head and stalk are j slipped out of the sheath. It is then 1 drawn up to barns or sheds which are ; fitted up with sealTolds from bottom to j top. On these the corn is spread to j "cure." When properly dried, it is | threshed by being laid upon swiftly re- I volving cylinders, having long, slim spikes or teeth, which strip off the seeds and leave the brush ready to sort aud bale when it is fit for market. The threshing, sorting and packing can be done at any time during the winter. The seed is capital for liens, and if well cleaned, is very nearly as good as oats for any stock ; for cattle, hogs and horses it is best when ground.—[New York Herald. Antiquity of the Zither, The zither is no child of these later days. Quite the reverse. The ancient Egyptians had an instrument which they called a kinnor and which, in all essential points, was the prototype cf thez ither. This was some three thousand years ago, and from that time down to the present there lias always been an instrument in the hands of one of the leading nations of the world that was, in most respects, identical with the zither. In the time of David and Solomon the zither was played in the great temple of Jerusalem, and the ancient Greeks valued their kithara very highly, and the names of Terpuuder of Lesbcs and of Aristonikos of Chios have come down to us as those of virtuosi ou this zither-like instrument. We know that at the wedding festivities of Alex ander the Great with Statira, the daughter of Darius, some of the most famous kitharists, as Kratinos of Metliymna, Athenodores of Tejos and others, had to play. It is also known that some of the best zither players of these days, liko Anobeos, received a magnificent remune ration for public appeurances, an Attic taleut (about $500) being nothing un usually high for the performance. Under the Roman emperors, too, the kithara often changed and improved, nourished as a fashionable instrument, and even as late as 1150 after Christ the Greek Em peror Manuel esteemed the famous kitli arist Saraotheres Logotliota very highly because of his art. During the following centuries several varieties of zither-like instruments were in use, such as the citlinra burbara, the cithara tontouiea and the psalterium in Germany and adjoining countries, the crowt in England and Scotland, and tho virginale or claricliordiun later on, about 1500. The latter, together with the psalter, were popular in nearly all Euro pean countries, and it was really not until the time that the forerunners of the present piano, the spinet, etc., came into general use—about the end of the last century—that the zither went out of date.—[Chicago Herald. Blood Drinking. Blood drinking is rather an unsavory medication. Every morning, however, in Paris, France, fashionable Indies suf fering from amentia go to the monu mental slaughter house of La Villette, just as if it were a drinking-rooin at Aix or Vichy. They there drink bullock's blood at 30 centimes (0 sous) a gluss, and observers say that the blood cure is often efficacious. Raspail, the real precursor of Pasteur, noticed that the butchers and even the women bookkeepers in butchers' shops, are singularly healthy and that their biood is, as a rule, purer than that of people plying other trades. Mile, ltos ita Mauri, the famous opera danseuse, once sprained her foot upon the stage. The doctor ordered her to go to La Vill ette every morning early and to bathe her dainty ankle in hot bullock's blood. The habit of blood drinking, like hot-water drinking, is nauseous at first, but the pa tients think no more of it after a time than they would of gulping down an oyster or a glass of absinthe. The ani mals ought, uaturally, to be healthy; but this can easily be tested by experts. Al though the practice appears to have spread in Franco, the "blood-cure" was really invented by an English doctor. The Language of Colors in Korea. In Korea the noble, the commoner, tho soldier, the peasant, the priest of Buddha and the attendant at the Confucian Ilall, the bridegroom, the mourner, the mar ried and the unmarried of both sexes all may be told by their dress, and each dress is subject to certain secondary modifications that indicate many thiugs as to the condition and position of the wearer. Color also plays a prominent part in dress distinction. Scarlet is for the king, and its indiscriminate use by the masses of the people is forbidden— that is, for the men, for no sumptuary law of the east and west has yet been able to banish any wished-for color from tho feminine attire. Bed is also, as a mark of distinction, allowed to young men at tho time of their marriage.

A poulterer was charged with cruelty to forty-eight live geese by plucking them of their feathers, and the owner was charged with procuring the com mission of the offense. The proceed i Vigs were taken by the Society for the | Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A I witness swore that "after the geese were plucked their skins turned a pur ple color, and they seemed to he in pain. They walked about with their i backs up, and shrank when touched." ' The practice was shown by defend ants to be very prevalent, and the so ciety asked for a nominal fine to put a stop to it. The defendants said it was the custom of the district to pluck the feathers every six weeks, and if they i were stopped from doing so many peo | pie would discontinue keeping geese, as much more money was realized by the sale of feathers than by the geese. ; The court imposed a tine of eighteen shillings upon the defendants, and ex pressed the hope that it would be a warning to other people. Plucking live geese and ducks prevails all over the United States. There is a species of large water fowl whose habitat in winter is the open lakes of the interior, and their feathers are so firmly set that they can not be plucked. Shearing is resorted to, and many housewives have beds made of the feathers, which almost equal those of eider down, as the stiff, troublesome quills are absent. Shear ing geese and ducks could be made to supersede plucking— American Agri culturist. Two CHESTER fishermen auarreled jibout the ownership of a boat and neither would surrender his claim.

A few years ago the inhabitants of Seville read with surprise, in the ad vertisement of an approaching bull fight, this unusual notice: "When the third bull shall have at tacked the picadors and received three pairs of banderillas, a young peasant, by whom it has been brought up, will appear in the ring. He will approach the bull, caress it, and, after removing the banderillas, one after another, will lie down between its horns." The announcement of so singular a feat attracted an immense crowd to the amphitheater. The third bull ap peared, an animal with splendid horns and very brave; it slew four horses, received the banderillas, and became furious. Then, contrary to custom, all the toreadors retired from the ring, leaving the bull stamping aud slinking the bloody darts whicn hung from his neck. All at once a long whistle was heard. The bull paused and listened. It was repeated. The bull approached the bar rier aud a young man leaped into the ring, calling the bull by its name, "Mosquito 1" The animal knew its master came to caress him, and was ap peased. The peasant gave it his hand to lick, and with the other began to scratch it behind the ears—an opera tion which seemed to afford the brute much pleasure. He then gently re moved the banderillas which annoyed the neck of Mosquito, made it go down on its knees, and placed his head be tween its horns. The grateful bull seemed to listen with pleasure to a pastoral melody sung by its master. The admiration of the multitude, hitherto suppressed by surprise, burst forth with Andalusian violence and shook the building. Hearing this frenzied applause, which had accom panied all his sufferings, the bull, till then under a charm, appeared to wake and return to reality. It suddenly rose, bellowing, and the peasant tried to escape. But it was too late. The animal, as though furious at being be trayed, tossed the young man into the ! air, received him again on its horns, gored him, trampled on him, and crushed him to pieces, in spite of the efforts of the toreadors. The perform- | ance was suspended—a phenomenon in Spain—and the horrified public quit ted the circus in silence.— New York Clipper. Tlio Two (tumblers.
