How to Tell a Lady—in Boston.
Hick? —No gentleman will swear in
the presence of a lady. *
Wicks—No; but If a lady happens
to make her appearance when a man
is in the midst of a swearing fit, she
is no lady if she expects him to leave
i off at once. —Boston Transcript.
THE RIVER ROUSTABOUT.
He Is Still Doing Business at the Old
Stand.
One who makes a trip up the river
and watches the antics of the negroes
and listens to their wlerd songs and
tales will not agree with the Iconoc
last who says that all the beauties and
the picturesque features have faded
out of the steamboat man's life. As
a line of negroes goes up the hill un
der the glare of the searchlight with
their peculiar swinging tread and sing
the music, which seems somehow to
be a essential part, of the action, the
light is one which has a strange wild
ness about it and a fascination, too.
The negro Is not the same as he was
before the war. Conditions have
changed too much for that. But he has
retained his love for the fantastic and
most of those barbaric customs which
civilization seems unable to eradicate
from the African mind.
The first mate has undergone a
marked ftetainorphoris, and to his
change is due some portion of the new
features in the deckhand'B character.
Time was when the first mate had a
vocabulary which would make an or
dinary sailor's parrot die for shame.
He had this vocabulary, and the ne
groes held the same opinion as the
one who answered when asked if he
did not object to the mate's abuse,
"No, boss, dat's whut he's paid for.
He's got to make out he's doin' some
thin', an' it don't do us no harm." Now
the deckhands actually "object to be
ing sworn at when the oaths become
too vigorous. The pay of the deck
hand is usually S6O a month, even
when the business Is only moderately
heavy, and last winter, daring the big
rush, a crew of negroes refused to ship
because the wages did not suit them.
They were ofTered S9O per month, but
wanted SIOO for the trip.
The first peculiarity which strikes
the observer about the deckhand is
his walk. He has climbed up the '
steep river embankment when there
was mud all over it. and he has coma
down that same slide with a heavy
weight upon his hack. He has adopt
ed a step which prevents him from
slipping, and this gives him a pecu- J
liar shufillng step unlike any move- \
ment seen elsewhere. He combines J
with this a hoisting of the shoulders i
and a peculiar turn of the head acquir- j
ed from turning his face to let a sack
rest upon his shoulder. These three
traits are distinctive and give the
M.k'iund a strange appearance upon
the levee, or anywhere off a boat or
away from the river.
As he works going up the inclines
or along the gangplank, precariously
resting upon a levee's crest, he has
a rhythmic sort of chant which fits
in with his music. Always the same j
class of songs are sung. Usually I
there are no words, but some leader)
chants and the others voice the chorus
as they bond to their tasks. There j
are sack songs and barrel songs and
music for the cotton bale and the i
ordinary package. The music varies 1
with the task, as the movement of the
negro's body varies. The cotton song. :
as the hale is lifted forward and al
lowed to drop, hae a catchy swing to
It. Down go tlio sharp hooks and the •
hale starts up to fall with a quick
thud. So does the music. The other
airs, like all negro music, are har
monies, not melodies, which are timed
to the labor.
The crap game can be seen in its
full glory only when the deckhand
plays it upon the boat's deck. From
the foot of President's Island to the
; city no stops are made, and a like con
dition prevails in regard to boats
from the upper river. This is called
i the crap limit. The negroes are paid
off before they reach the city, and
usually at the last stop before the city.
As soon as the pay is received the
negroes gather and begin to shoot
craps, and the cries for "Big Dick"
and "Little Joe" and "Ada" are heard
until the boat has landed. When it
does some few negroes generally pos
sess the money paid to all. —Memphis
Scinitar.
Canada's Fuel Problem.
"The most serious problem that con
fronts the Canadian people of the fu
ture," says Colonel Seyfert in a letter
to the State Department from Stiat
ford, "is material for fuel. The gigan
tic lumber industry and the great an
nual forest fires have so denuded the
timber area of Ontario that the people
are thoroughly alarmed about the fu
ture fuel supply. Hard wood for fuel
is now worth from $G to $8 a cord and
soft from $3 to $3, while, coal, which is
all imported from the United States,
costs $G a ton. The item of fuel is,
therefore one of the heaviest expenses
to every person in this latitude of long
and severe winters. An ordinary resi
dent will consume no less than SIOO
worth of fuel a year. It has been well
known for years that there are exten
sive beds of peat bog in Canada, and
particularly in the providence of On
tario. An effort has been made during
the last six months to utilize this
product of nature. In Holland, Ireland,
Wales and Bavaria peat has long been
i the chief fuel used by the people. The
i recent invention of machinery by
! means of which vast areas of hitherto
i unused bogs can be converted into
' marketable peat has opened up a new
| Canadian industry."
Alcoholism and Crime.
J The alcoholic craving accounts for
many a confirmed criminal. Doubtless
the tendency exists in a minor degree
as belonging to all habituals, who
make it a secondary part of their
life, teetotalers being rarely met with
in criminal walks. But there is a large
number of hopeless prisoners whose
only idea of life is drunkenness at
' any cost. In such the craving makes
the criminal, and as the drink cannot
; be obtained without money other
means are resorted to, such as break
ing into public houses, robbing bar
tills, stealing jugs and bottles from
children sent out on such errands,
dressing up aa blind men, mutilated
beggars crawling along the pavement
and other pleasantries so well known
to the expert. Chewing a piece of soap
and thus forming a lather to the sim
ulation of epilepsy is a common fraud,
and the profits all go to the publican.
The alcoholic aspect is, however, very
difficult of concealment, and the ex
perienced observer well knows the
pseudo-epileptic, the armless, legless
cripple, and the unfortunate widow

FINED FOR WINNING.
Young Lawyer Wat Ignorant of The
Ethloo of Horae Stealing.
'When I graduated from the law
acbool," said the old lawyer, with a
reminiscent smile, "I took Horace
Greeley's advice and went West. I
located in a little town that then waa
on the frontier, and waited with the
confidence of youth for clients. Be
fore I had fairly opened my office I
was retained to defend a man for
stealing a horse. This elated me very
much, for I was not aware at the time
that the case had been refused by all
the other lawyers In town, as defend
ing a horse thief was not a thing to
be desired if a man valued his life.
The case came for trial before an old
Judge and a Jury composed of be
wblskered ranchers. There was no
doubt that the man was guilty, but he
had a number of friends who were
willing to swear to anything, and I
thought It my duty to make the beat
possible use of them. They were all
willing to swear that the defendant
was forty miles away from the spot
when the horse was stolen, and the
prosecution was unable to break down
their testimony. I saw that 1 was go
ing to free my client, so It was with
a satisfied air that I saw the jury leav
ing the room to prepare the verdict.
They were back In five minutes, and
the old Judge asked them If they had
succeeded In arriving at a verdict.
" 'We hev,' answered the foreman,
as he shifted the gun he carried on his
hip. 'We find the defendant not
guilty, an' recommend the defendant's
lawyer, owln' to his youth and Inno
cence, to the mercy of the Court.'
"While I was gasping for breath the
Judge fined me SSOO and suspended
sentence long enough for me to get
out of town. It wasn't law, but I did
not stop to argue the matter. —Seattle

Thought He Was at Home.
"I want a marriage license." he said
to the clerk brazenly.
Ills name and her name and both
their ages wis asked. He gave them
to the clerk in a loud, winter-weather
ed voice and looked around the room
to see how much attention he had at
tracted.
"How much?" he asked.
The price of the bit of paper was
given to him.
He took It In his hand. He looked
It over. Then he asked. "Where's the
coupon?"
"What coupon?" queried the clerk,
wonderingly.
"The divorce coupon," answered the
man.
The clerk gasped. "The idea!" he
exclaimed. "Who ever heard of such
a thing?" Say, Mister, where are you
from?"
"Dakota!" And the wind whistled
outside.—Detroit Free Press.
Her Explanation.
I drove over the park bridge yester
day afternoon in one of those carry
all 'buses, tucked away in a bapk seat
us neatly us a match In a box. On the
front, beside the driver, sat three little
brown-eyed girls. Their mother was
squeezed In behind, by me. As we ap
proached the Detroit shore a sail boat
decided to go on up stream, and the
gate was thrown across the bridge, as
the draw was swung.
The little girl on the end of the
front seat looked at the great mass of
steel and wood as it slipped by. open
mouthed; then, turning back, she said
to her mother, with tears just coming
Into her eyes:
"Oh, mamrni, see, the bridge is all
broke and we'll have to stay here for
ever."—Detroit Free Press.
Cruel Sarcasm.
"I know the pumpkin pie was rather
thin as to filling," said the landlady,
almost crying, "but 1 don't think lie
had any right to say what he did."
"What did he say?" asked the sec
ond table boarder.
"He asked me if I didn't think that
the pie crust would be improved If it
had another coat of yellow paint."—
What-to-Eat.
The Way Out of It.
"They say that Nell Gadleigh has
broken her engagement with Harry
Hippleton."
"Yes, she says that he was so affec
tionate that he wearied her."
"Oh! if that was all, why didn't she
just marry him and have done with
the wearisome part?"— Boston Trav
eler.
Not the One That Waa Out.
"Is the cashier out?" he asked as
he looked around.
"No," replied the president, as he
glanced up from an examination of
the books, "the cathler Is not out; ft's
the bank that, la out."—Exchange.

NEVER DRINK WATER.
Horses and Cattle That Blake Their
Thiret on a Peculiar Orate.
The proverbial horse which can be
led to water, but which cannot be
made to drink, exists In great num
bers In the Hawaiian islands. Among
the cattle he has thousands of coueins
of the same proclivities.
It Is a surprising statement to make,
and yet one that is literally true, and
bo commonplace that no one there
thinks anything about It, that there
are hundreds of horses and thousands
of cattle which never take a drink of
water throughout the whole course of
their lives.
On all the Islands the upper alti
tudes of the mountains are given up
to cattle ranges. The cattle run
wild from the time they are born mi/
til they are rounded up to be sent to
the slaughterhouse. Eycept during pc
ilbly two or three months of the rainy
season, there are no streams or pools
of water in any part where the cattle
range.
But everywhere there grows a re
cumbent, jointed grass, known by the
native name of manlnla. This Is both
food and drink. Horses and cattle
grazing on It neither require water,
nor will they drink 18- when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on a trip to Haleakala. A party
was mounted on horses which has just
been brought in from the range. The
Journey they made was fourteen miles,
in which distance tney ascended about
8,000 feet.
The party started In the afternoon,
and about sunset halted for supper.
They thought it strange that the
horses should leave a feed of grain to
nibble the scanty grass which grew
near by, but were willing to trust
their Instinct in the matter.
However, before starting, they In
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred in this, saying
they didn't need it. but with the good
natured complaisance of his race,
yielded to requests, and led a detour
of about a mile, which brought the
party to a ranch house where there
was a well. But, to the utter amaze
ment and stupefaction of the traveler!,
the horses would not drink.
They took it as another case of In
stinct, and assumed that the water,
for some reason, was not good, and so
refrained from drinking It themselves.
It was not until the return the second
day, to Kawaapae. that the travelers
learned the secret of the wonderful
manlnia grass.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
What Sailors Have Survived.
The recent landing at this port 61 a
half-atsrved seaman of the Norwegian
berk Drot hy the German steamship
Catania, which pickod him up off the
Florida coast where he had floated
on a roughly constructed raft for five
days without food or water Illustrated
forcibly the powers of endurance of
seamen in general. Some years ago
Mate Biooks. of the American ship
Helle O'Brien, which was burned off
the Irish coast, was picked up lying
unconscious among a boatload of dead
and dying men by Capt. Dunn, of the
Lord Line Bteamer Lord Erne, anil
brought to Baltimore. He had been
ten days with little or no food or wa
ter. Robert Scotney, second mate i
the English brig Thomas, was found
hy an East Inrilanman outward bound
in a small boat a living skeleton. He
had subsisted 78 days from the time
'he brig was lost on four pounds of
meat, four pounds of (lour, six pounds
of bread, a scant supply of canned
goods and a keg of water. —Baltimore

Index Making.
A young woman In London has for
some years carried on the business of
index making. During that period she
lias trained In her office forty women
Index makers, and she has indexed
sueh works as Nansen's "Farthest
North," "Science of International
Law," 485 volumes of history, and
numerous papers and periodicals. Ac
coidfng to this enterprising woman,
indexing affords a field for women
workers that is as yet unoccupied. It
Is her belief that the feminine intelli
gence Is particularly successful in this
line and that she lias found her pupils
patient enduring accurate and con
scientious. Moreover, women's well
known tendency to jump to conclu
sions here become n legitimate exer
cise as the quick intuition has a great
value in successful index-making.—Ex

A Scientific Rascal.
Scientific knowledge has been per
verted to the uses of blarkmail bv a
medical student of Orantz. Austria,
who endeavored to obtain 10,000 flor
ins from a rich old lady for threaten
ing to open a bottle of assorted deadly
bacilli in her room If she refused to
"pay up." When arrested bottles
stolen from a bacteriological labora
tor.v and containing microbes of sev
eral diseases were found in his posses
sion.
Prone to Suicide.
Statistics show that the medical pro
fession is more prone to suicide than
any other. During the last three years
the number of suicides occurring
among physicians has been respective
ly forty-five, forty-nine and forty
seven per annum, an average of nearly
one to 2,000: or as the death rate
among the physicians is about, twen
ty-five to 1.000, nearly one-fiftieth of
all the deaths in the profession have
been suicides.
A Simple Camera.
A Houlton (Me.) man recently took
a very good photograph with a simple
PUjtboard box and a dry plate. An
aperture was cut in the box over
which was pasted a piece of black pa
per In which a small hole was made
with the point of a pin. The box was
then taken to a dark room and plate
securely fastened Inside. The plate
was exposed for one minute and a
half and the result was very satisfac
tory.
