A Pumice Stone Barrier.
A floating barrier of pumice stone,
nineteen miles long, over a thousand
yards wide and fifteen feet deep, clos
ing a seaport to all vessels as effectual
ly as a boom could do, It not being the
sort of thing one Is likely to forget.
And yet that was one of the results of
the Krakatoa eruption, the port being
Tedok Retoung In Sunda straits. Form
ed In n few hours, It would almost seem
to be the supreme effort of nature In
the pumice-making line, were It not
that such Immense quantities are found
at the bottom of the sea. A queer place
for pumice stone; but pumice when pro
duced Is really heavy; It Is only the air
cavities in it that makes It light, and
as It floats It becomes water-logged,
and down It goes. Most of tbo pumice
we use In Europe comes from the Ll
parl Islands, north of Sicily, "the home
of Vulcan," whence Vulcano as the
name of one of them, and our "vol
cano" as descriptive of the natural fea
ture of which It Is the type. Here are
the pumlee quarries—at Monte Chirica
and Its craters Monte Pelata and For
gla Vecehia—where over a thousand
men are at work In the narrow tunnels
and galleries, lighted by clay lamps of
antique form. The whole hillside is
perforated with groups of these tun
nels, which number between 200 and
800, and are so narrow that the men
can hardly pass each other in them.
And just as coal Is found In beds alter
nated with sandstone and shale, so ths
pumice Is In layers between harder
lavas aad ashes.—Leisure Hour.
A Despotic Postmistress.
She was postmistress of Penzance,
Cornwall, and ruled her office with u
hand of steel. She had two rules which
admitted of no exception—she never
gave change, and she would not open
the office window when "Box Closed"
or "Mail not Sorted" was placarded.
The sport-loving gentry often tried to
break through her cast-iron rules. Two
such attempts Mr. P.aines, sometime
Inspector general of her majesty's
mails, chronicles In his book, "On the
Track of the Mall-Coach;"
A traveler wagered that he would
break through the blockade of "Box
Closed." He knocked BO persistently
at the little window, that at last It was
opened far enough for him to thrust In
a bundle of letters. He thought for a
moment that he had won; but he didn't
know the postmistress, who flung Ills
letters Into the street.
Then a colonel undertook to undei*
mine the postmistress's position on the
glving-of-change question. Present
ing himself at the window, he tendered
a liulf-crown. request lug to lie supplied
with a shilling's worth of postage
stamps.
"1 give no change." said the lady.
"Oh, very well!" replied the colonel.
He withdrew for a minute or two,
and then returned with a hag of sixty
pennies. Tapping gently at the win
dow. he suavely Bald, "A penny stamp,
If you please, madam."
She fixed him with the glittering eye
of triumph, took the penny, gave the
stamp, and shut the window. A min
ute later there was a second knock, and
a second request, "A penny postnge
stamp, if you please, madam!" At the
thirtieth penny the postmistress sur
rendered and agreed to give change.

"He Is the meanest man living," said

ZULEIKA'S WOOING.
AN EN3LISH COLONEL'S STORI.
T is a good few
; \ years ago sinco one
jfe April found mo
I quartered at Peaha
wur, in India. Out
on the frontier, as
most of you kuow,
our extreme out
posts are Michui,
Abnzai and Shub
kudr, three as
—" dreary spots as a
man could ever hope to 6ee. They
have not, as I dare say you know, a
single redeeming feature being soli
tary mud buildings which hold the
police aud native troops who are sup
posed to overawe the tribesmen, and
which, except the commandant and
the doctor, don't offer many attrac
tions in the way of society. You
know what frontier Fervice in the old
days was like. Forays by the trades
men, and punitive expeditions by the
Sirkar, carried to such on extent that
we almost realized the idea of
"Brnnksome Tower," in the "Lay of
the Last Minstrel," and "drank the
red wine through the helmet barred."
You know the sort of life—rows
with the tribesmen eternally spring
ing up and dying down again in indi
vidual localities, whilo as a matter of
fact there was always troublo at one or
more places along the frontier.
At the time I am speaking of, the
post of commandcnt of the irontier
forts was not in much quest. I don't
know that the authorities nt Simla
were much troubled by eager appli
cants ; in fact I think the general at
Peshawur usually detailed some uu
lueky major from the Staff Corps and
sent him nolens volens to hold Ihe
fort as long OH ho could with decency
be made to stay. There was trouble
brewing that April, and in Peshawur
wo all knew it. How it come about
we none of us cared much, but the
man before the then incumbent had
gone home sick, and the commandant
pro tern, was reported to bo in daily
fear of his life.
Well, unpleasant as it was, it was
scarcely a surprise, when, one morn
ing the assistant adjutnnt general
rode up to my bungalow in great ex -
citement, and told me I was to out at
once aud assume command of the
fortß.
"You're to lose no time," he said.
"Poor So-and-so" (mentioning the
late commandant) "was shot last
night by some scoundrel, and the
general wants you to try and find out
who did it. The police are making
inquiries, but you know what that
means. By the wav, he wants to see
you before you go."
A soldier never has much time to
make his arrangements, and that very
evening I rode out to the forts,having
receivo I a long lecture from the gen
eral on that confounded word "tact"
which, as we find in the service, is
always on everybody's lips, aud not
understood by one man in a hundred
who uses it.
Well, I must get on with my story,
or vo shall be in trie Thames before I
come to the point of it. I never
thought much about tact, but I al
ways believed that a well-born nutive
is us much a gentleman as an English
duke, and will behave to you just as
you treat him. I soou discovered my
unfortunate predecossor had tried to
ride rough-shod over the tribesmen,
and had made his hand felt in every
corner of his command. A Pathan is
as vengeful as a Corsicau of good fam
ily, aud will carry his feuds as far as
a self-rcspectiug American desperado.
There are always ready with knife or
ciHo to exact vengeance from any
enemy, and near Peshawur will ofteu
murder the wrong man, if they can't
find the right. An Englishman who is
accustomed to living in a law-abiding
country )s no match for them, and so
my predecessor found to his cost.
They shot him as he was smoking his
pipe after dinner one night, on his
own veranda in view of the guard. Of
course I never found his murderer—
I never expected I should—but I did
find that my own system of treatment
paid better than his, aud before very
long I had, as the politicians would
have expressed it, "established excel
lent relations with the surrounding
tribesmen."
There was a very simple way of
testing this. A fow hundred yards
from the gate of the fort a former
commandant had made for himself a
garden, sunk a well, and planted trees.
Hero moßt of the vegetables used by
the garrison were grown. The Path
ans broke down the walls, cat the
water courses and stole the vegetables.
But I started a different system; I
was civil to tho neighboring Kahns
and sent them baskets of vegetables,
and before very long I found my pro
duce grew in plenty, and more, on
the fine summer evenings, after tho
heat of the day, when I went across to
the garden and sat under the trees and
smoked my pipe, one or other of
the Khans would drop in for a chat,
and in a short time I reckoned many
friends among the supposed irreclaim
able blackguards who owned tho fron
tier Tillages.
Among them all there was none
with whom I got on bettor than a
grand old fellow named Mahomed
Aslim Khan, chief of a village near
the fort. He was a thorough gentle
man, had served in his younger days
under the Sikh generals, and was as
proud of his home and his scars as
any honorable man need be. Many
were the pleasant evenings we spent
together, for, as I have said, European
society was limited, and a fine old fel
low like that a perfect godsend to a
lonely man.
Well, for a time all went merry as a
marriage bell, till one unlucky day a
case arose regarding a theft of cattle
from old Aslim Khan's village. The
thief was caught red-handed aud tried
by a native magistrate, and condemned
ohieliy on the Khan's evidence. Af
ter the trial, I met the old gentleman
casually and exchanged a fow sentences
with him. Not five minutes later I
heard a shot. Alarmed by tho cries, I
ran in the direction, and to my hor
ror found my old friend weltering in
his blood. Inquiry soon showed that
tho assassin was the thief condemned
that day. Ho had escaped from cus
tody, armed himself somehow, and
befo:e finally taking himself off had
shot his accuser.
We always kept a portion of tho
cavalry escort in readiness lor emer
gencies, and in less time than it takes
me to toll you, the assassin was being
followed by a mounted party. My
horse was soou saddled, aud I, too,
tried to follow, but unsuccessfully, as
they were too for ahead, and I had to
sit at home and wait for news.
It was late in the afternoon when
my search party returned, unsuccess
ful. They had ridden after the mur
derer, and, being slightly better
mounted, wore rapidly gaining on
him, when the way was barred by a
broad, broken nullah, beyond which
lay a village. The assassin knew the
ground, his pursuers did not. The
advantage enabled him to get clean
across the nullah, while the cavalry
were looking for a road for their
horses. He rode boldly into the vil
lage, from which, unluckily, all the
meu happened to be absent, and find
ing an elderly woman muuohing a
chupatti, snatched it from her hand,
ate u portion, and proclaimed that he
had eaten of their salt, and olaimed
sanctuary. You know tho Pathans.
By the time my party got across the
nullah he was securely hidden, and
while they were haggling, a
second searoh party arrived from
Michni under commund of a Euro
pean officer. Had the natives been
left to themselves they would prob
ably have seoured their man,
but the offieer, in wholesome
dread of tho authorities' orders re
garding frontier complications, said
he must withdraw, as they were out
of British territory, and sent both
parties home. Personally, I think I
Hhould have risked a wigging, as the
Pathans were little like to object to
the capture of a British subject who
hail murdered ouo of themselves. But
my subaltern ruled differently.
Of course we were disappointed,
but one or two Khans who were with
me bade me bo of good cheer; the
murderer would bo caught. I said I
hoped so.
Next day a fine young Pathan, who
was a sowar in the cavalry detaobment
at the fort, came to me and asked for
long leave to visit hishome. Igrauted
it without hesitation, but that night,as
I rode past tho spot near my garden
where his relatives had buried the
body of poor Mahomed Aslim Kbau,
1 saw that a lamp was burning on the
new-made grave, and fiower3 were
strewn upon it; and happening to
meet one of the Khans, I was told that
whore publio punishment had failed,
private vengeance would step in. The
young sowar, Afsul by name, had
taken up the vendetta, aud Aslim's
murder would assuredly bo avenged.
It was six weeks later when, ono
evoning, my servant brought mo news
that Afsul, the sowar, would like to be
admitted to my august presence. I
readily granted tho permission, and in
he oame. Ho was a great swell. His
llowing, white garments were new and
spotless, his hair carefully dressed,
aud his face clean shaved, except his
mustache. I asked him what brought
him to see me, and a smile ef pride
lit up his lace as ho replied, with muny
curses ou tho dead scoundrel,
that ABlim'i murderer had met his
deserts, and that he himself had slain
him. Bhocked as I was, I asked for
particulars. Ho told me how with in
finite patience he had tracked the as-
Bnssin from village to villago as ho fled
from tho vengeance which was, ho
knew full well, sure to follow. How
ho had assumed disguise, aud traveled
hard, ofteu hungry aud thirsty,
through the valleyH, till at last, ouo
evening at suuset he had overtaken
his enemy. He had found him in n
quiet spot kneeling, with his face to
ward Mecca, hesido the shriuo of some
forgotten saint, going punctiliously
through thoso devotions which no
pious Mussulman, however blood
stained his hands may bo, ever
neglects. He described how ho stood
watching him paying his last devo
tions on earth, his own finger on tho
trigger of his carbine, and how, as he
finished his devotions, he rose and
folded up the shawl he had used as a
carpet. This was A foul's opportunity.
Calling upon tho assassin to turn, he
covered him with the carbine, and re
viling him in all the exprossive terms
of Pathan abuse, he then and there, as
the sun disappeared in tho west, shot
his enemy like a dog.
You know how hard it often is to fit
our English notions of justice on to
native customs. Personally, I should
have liked to let the boy, for he was
little more, go scot free. But the
commandant of the frontier forts
dared not do so, and to Afsul's sur
prise I ordered him into custody. I
did so with great regret. After he
was soeurely looked up I sent for tho
Tehsildar and asked if he was safe.
I think the man guessed my anxiety,
for he 6aid gravely, as an Oriental
will, even when he is making a joke:
"Sahib, that young man is as safe
as we can make him, but our prison is
a very bad one. Men escape."
"But Afsul won't?" I asked, eag
erly.
"These things, my lord," he an
swered, "are in tho hands of Provi
denoe. We must wait and see."
Next morning tho Tehsildar was
early at my honso. As he
spoke I could not help thinking
that the suspicion of a smile was lin
gering round his fat face.
"My lord," he said, joining his
hands and bowing to tho ground, "a
miracle has happened. In the night
that young man broke his bonds and
escaped. I fear wo shall not seo him
again."
I need not tell you how I held an in
quiry and censured all concerned. I
do not think they minded muoh. None
of them seemed to think I was in earn
est. However, thero was no help for
it—Afsul had vanished.
That night I rode away toward old
Aslim Khan's village. As I approached
it I hoard sounds of merriment, and
presently there issued from the village
a gay procession. First came a group
of horsemen all gayly attired, and pre
ceded by drums and horns—among
them was one I thought I kuew—then
followed a closed litter, and then a lot
of men driving buffaloes and carrying
distaffs, cooking-pots, and a large na
tive bod, painted in gaudy colore. As
they saw me the musicians beat louder
than ever, and 1 thought the horseman
waved his hand. I determined to in
quire. An old graybeard volunteered
information.
"Your lordship," he said, "prob
ably knew tho latw Mahomed Aslim
Khan, who is new wjth the prophet in
I'uradise. He had a lovely daughter,
Zaleika, who loved a youug man, Af
sul by namo. 'The chief did not favor
the match, for he was rioh and the
young man was poor. Well, the chief
was slain, and Afsul undertook to
avengo him. Now the beautiful Zu
leika is his by conquest. Yonder Af
sul rides, this is his bride, these are
the marriage gifts. They are going
Afsul's home in a distant village."
I turned my horse's head home
more or less contented, though I pon
dered, too, over the strangeness of
frontier customs.
That was tho only excitoment while
I was commandant. Well, lads, that's
my yarn. Make the best of it. If
we don't turn in, it will be daylight be
fore we get to bed. Good-night.—

A Crack Shot.
"Out our way we are apt to think
that an Eastern mau cannot shoot a
pistol," said 11. T. Jeukiuson, of
Choyenne, at the Metropolitan, "but
I had one experience at Laramie that
coneineed me this idea is incorrect.
A finely dressed young man stepped
into a saloon to get a drink, where n
lot of cowboys were haying a good
time. The Bight of the 'tenderfoot'
was the signal fcr some fun, and half
a-dozen pistols were drawn just to
scare the man from the States. The
stranger wore a silk hat, and the ery
went up, 'shoot the tile.' The man
turned with his glass at his lips and
without a tremor drew a pistol from
his coat pocket. By tho time tho
drink was swallowed six pistols lay on
the floor; he had shot every one of
them out of their owners' hands. They
crowded around him, and the tender
foot was not allowed to pay for any
thing that night."—Washington Star.
Horned Toads Are Useful.
"The ugliest and yet most usoful
things in California are horned toads,"
said A. L. Mason, ot Los Angeles, ut
the Shorebam. "They are by no
means pleasant to look at, and the In
dians formerly held them in sacred
veneration. The people of California
do not regard them very highly, and
they are killed whenever found by
many who imagine that they are ven
omous, which is not tho ease. The
Hawaiian?, however, know their value,
and President Dole has written to dif-'
ferent sections of California to arrange j
for having several thousand sent to
Hawaii for the purposo of destroying
certain insects. Careful investigation
has shown that they are exeeedinly
valuable for this purpose, and there is
now a good deal of talk about preserv
ing them morecarofully in California."

Italian Advealurei In Abyssinia. '
Comparable In many respects to our j
Indian fighting, the disastrous earn- I
paign in Abyßslnhi has not merely i
taught the Italians n hard lesson, but
lias supplied them with a fund of
stories of Individual bravery which [
will prove bracing to the national val
or, though the main result of the cam
paign Is crushing to the national pride. [
Men engaged In desperate conflict
with tho North American Indians are
known to save one charge In their rifles
or revolvers tc be used on themselves
nt the last extremity—to save them j
from Indian torture. It Is estimated J
that hundreds of Italians died by their j
own hands in the buttle of Adowa and
during the terrible days which followed
it for the same reason.
General Arlmondi Is known to have j
committed suicide In the presence of i
his remaining men; but this was rather i
from chagrin and grief than from fear |
of torture at tie hands of the enemy.
Sometimes the Italian officers were
too ready to hasten their fate, and In I
some Instances they estimated too un
favorably the character of their enemy. !
Captain Ademolk and Lieutenant Me- |
narlnl, after being both badly wound
ed, fell Into the hands of the Ab.vssln
lßn chief, Sebat. They expected to be
put to death, but through the Interven
tion of the chief they were given drink
and set at liberty.
Soon, however, they were surround
ed by another band of about a dozen
natives. By this time the two officers
had been Joined by an Itnllan corporal,
who had his rifle. Giving themselves
up for lost, the two officers were about
to shoot themselves.
"Don't be such fools!" said the cor
poral. Ho led the way to a rock, and
the throe white men leaned their backs
against It. Then the corporal proceed
ed to bring down three or four of the
Abyssinia ns to skillfully that the rest
took to flight. Captain, lieutenant and
corporal all succeeded lu reaching a
place of safety.
The name of the corporal Is not pre
served by the Italian papers which nar
rate this adventure, though he seems
more worthy of fame than many men
of higher rank.
Hogs that Swim,
It Is generally believed that hogS
cannot swim, but Capt. Alfred Piatt of
Burlington, N. J., says his can. Capt.
Piatt owns a farm on Burlington
Island.
Several days ago he was looking over
his stock, when he became aware that
some of his hogs were missing. He
began n search for the fugitives, and
going down on the beach he was sur
prised to llud a dozen of them swim
ming around In the water.
He tried In various ways to coax then
to shore, but in vain. After having
stayed In the water ns long ns they
cared to they slowly made their way
back to their sty without so much as a
glance at their owner.
A few days later there were some
little pigs born, und before they were
twenty-four hours old they were taken
for n swim by tbelr parents, who had
become so fond of the sport that they
visited the beach dally.—New York

" Uncle Hilly Hubbell of Itatli. N. V.
From the Advocate, Bath, JV. Y.
undents of Bath, N. Y., hnvo taken a
great fancy of late to Lake Salubrin, which
lies just outside the village, and during tho
past two years a score of new cottages have
! gone up on its shores. Choice locations are
becoming scarce and the early settlers are
, careful now to keep what dooryard they
have left. Your correspondent visited the
Lakereoentlv and dropped in to see "Uncle
Billy" Hubbcll in his comfortable cottage
under the pines. Mr. Hubbell established
himself at the Lake before the boom com
menced, aud has one of the prettiest locu
tions there.
Mr. Hubbell said that this was the first
spring in twenty years in which he hail been
free from his old enemy, sciatic rheumatism.
He thought he had contracted this disease
while running ns express messenger on the
Erie and other railroads between 1849 and
1859. although he did not feel its acute
symptoms until some fifteen years laler. Mr.
Hubbell is now the second oldest expressman
in the United States and recalls many inter
esting reminiscences of these early days. In
1876 he went to the Western frontier, and
has suffered from sciatic rheumatism ever
since. Speaking of the many efforts he had
made to get relief from this painful ailment,
he said that while in New Mexico ho visited
the Las Vegas and llamas springs, and later
he tried those at Manitou, Col., and Little
Bock, Ark. Coming east ho tried the White
Sulphur Spring, Ohio, St. Catherine, Can.,
ami Clifton and Avon, in New York, but
without being able to get the slightest relief.
As he advanced in age. his trouble became
more painful. "Why," lie exclaimed, point
ing to the farm house of William Burleson,
about six hundred feet distant, "1 would
yell so when those twinges caught me that
they could hear me down thero."
William H. Hallo k, owner of ITnllock's
bank, lu Bath, is a nephew of Mr. Hubbell,
and last winter he insisted that "Uncle Bil
ly" should try Tiuk Bills for Pale People for
bis rheumatism. Mr. Hubbell is free to say
that he bad no faith hi the pills whatever,
and only tried them because of the insist
ence of Mr. llailock. He had already tried
"more than a million remedies" before ho
came to Pink Pills aud as none had rendered
him the slightest benefit, he wns pretty well
d'scouraged. However, to please Mr." iIi\i-
lock, he got a box of Pink Pills. Since the*
(some three or four months), Mr. Hubbell
bus not felt a single truce ot rheumatism,
and is now on his fourth box of the pills, lie
cannot explain how this marvelous relief
was effected, but feels sure it was the pills
which did it, and is now as < nthusiastic in
their endorsement us was his nephew, Mr.
Hallock. Mr. Hubbell now comes into Btuh
almost every day, and says ho could ride a
bicycle if he only had some one to help him
on and off.

With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, aniia
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
I who value good health. lis beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pui\
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies arc not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
