Mark Twain's Traveling Ex
periences. I GOT into the cars and took a seat ia
juxtaposition to a female. That fe
male's face is a perfect insurance comp
anyit insured ber against ever getting
married to any body except a blind
man, ber mouth looked like a crack in a
dried lemon, and there was no more ex
pression In ber face than there Is In a
cup of cold custard. She appeared as if
she bad been through one famine and
bad got about two-thirds through anoth
er, pbe was old enough to be great-grand-mother
to Mary that bad the
little lamb. She was chewing prize pop
corn, and carried In ber band a yellow
rose, while a bandbox and cotton um
brella nestled sweetly by ber side. I
couldn't guess whether she was on a
mission of charity, or going West to
start a saw mill and I was full of curiosi
ty to hear her speak, so I said " The ex.
igencles of the time require great cir
cumspection in a person who Is' travel
ing." "What?" Says she.
" The orb of day shines resplendent
In the vault above." Bays I.
She hitched about uneasy like, then
she raised ber umbrella and said, I don't
want any of your sass get out" audi
got out.
Then I took a seat alongside a male
fellow, who looked like a ghost of Ham
let lengthened out. He was a stately
cuss, and he was reading.
" Mister, did you ever see a camelo
pard V" I said camelopard, because It is
a pious animal, and never eats grass
without getting down on his knees. He
said be hadn't seen a camelopard. Then
said I, " Do you chew V"
"No.Blr."
Then I Said, " How sweet Is nature 1"
He took this for a conundrum, aud
said he didn't know. Then he said he
was deeply Interested in the history of
great men. "Alas!" he exclaimed,
" we are but a few."
I told him I knew one: "The man
that made my cooking stove was a great
man."
Then be asked, " Would I read V
"What have you got?"
He replied, "Watts's Hymns," " Rev
eries by Moonlight," and "How to
enjHhe Sabbath."
" Nonevp them for Hannah," said I,
but If be hadn unabridged business
directory f New 'York city, I would
lake a little read. ,
"Young man look those gray
hairs." v
I told blm I saw them, and wbn a
man got to be as old as be was be ought
to die. " You needn't think these hairs
are any sign of wisdom, It's only a sign
that our system lacks iron : and 1 advise
you to go home and swallow a crowbar.
He took this for irony, and what little
entente cordiale there was between us
was spilled. It turned out that be was
the chaplain of a baseball club.
When we got to Rochester I called
for a bowl of soup. I send you the
receipt for making It. Take a lot of
water, wash it well ; and boil it until It
is brown on both sides, then very care
fully pour one bean in it and let it sim
mer. When the bean begins to get rest
less, sweeten it with salt, then put It in
air-tight cans, bitch each can to a brick
and chuck them overboard ; and the
syrup is done."
The above receipt originated with a
man in Iowa, who got up suppers on
odd occasions for Odd Fellows. He bad
a receipt for oyBter soup, leaving out the
salt.
Speaking of Iowa reminds me of the
way I got my money to pay for my
ticket and pay for that fellows supper.
I bet fellow a dollar that I could tell
him how much water to a quart went
under the railroad bridge over the Mis
sissippi at Dubuque in a year. I won
the bet, but after all the supper was an
awful swindle.
Dubuque is celebrated for its fine turn
outs on the streets ; while I was there a
wagon upset and spilled a lot of women.
I didn't see it I looked the other way.
No cards.
HOW THE CIDER WAS SAVED.
" ANE thing is certain," said Mr.
J Hathaway, emphatically, " forty
gallons of cider won't keep while we're
drinking it. There, must be something
to put into it to keep it from spoiling,
and I've heard that mustard-seed is the
article."
" I agree with you," observed Mr.
Lefrlngwell. " If we don't take care of
It, the cider will sour ; but I incline to
the Idea that horseradish Is the best.
Put in horseradish and your cider will
keep all winter."
" Let me remark, gentleman," said
Mr. Anderson, lying down a chicken
wing and wiping bis mustache, "that
raisins are what you want. Dump in
plenty of raisins and you've got your
cider where you want it. Think so, Mr.
Sherwood V"
" I can't say I do," rejoined Mr. Sher
wood. " There Is no doubt that the ci
der will spoil unless you put in some
thing, but what you want is borax. A
pound of borax will keep that barrel of
cider until spring."
Each gentleman sustained his view
with potent arguments, but the dinner
was finished before any conclusion was
arrived at, and the party separated.
"They can talk about their borax,
horseradish and raisins, till they're
gray," said Mr. Hathaway, as he flop
ped out of bed at daylight the next
morning, " but I'll have my mustard
seed in before they roll over," and
cautiously stepping down stairs be ex
tracted the bung and poured a liberal
dose of the seeds into the barrel.
44 That will keep," be murmured, "for
six years," and, driving the bung home,
he went back to bed.
41 It's clear to my mlud that Hathaway
Is trying to save that cider by faith,"
muttered Mr. Leffingwell an hour later,
as he groped around for his clothes.
41 Mustard-seed ! Why he might as well
put in squash rind. I'm going to fill that
barrel with horseradish before he's up,
and show him to how keep cider. MuBtard
seed 1 I'll head a subscription with five
dollars to test his sanity." And Mr.
Leffingwell shivered down to the cel
lar and cracked away with a hammer
until the bung flew out like a bullet.
44 There 1" he;ejaculated as be poked the
horseradish In with his thumb, that'll
do the business," and with chattering
teeth he prowled back to bis room.
"One would think to hear these people
talk that they'd been brought up in an
orchard," said Mr. Anderson to him
self, as be jabbed the right foot into the
wrong slipper. 44 Borax I Horseradish !
Mustard I What that cider wants is
raislnB, and that's what It's going to
get." Upon which Mr. Anderson crept
down into the cellar and Inoculated the

isfied that he had saved the beverage, he
went back to the sheets. '
44 What I'm afraid of," remarked Mr.
Sherwood, as he opened bis door care
fully and slipped down stairs, 44 what
I'm afraid of is that those fellows will
begin to tinker with that barrel before I
can get there. If they manage to stick
their foolishness in first I'm gone, but
if I can empty this borax before they're
around, there's so much cider saved,"
Mr. Sherwood belted away at the barrel
until the bung toppled out, and in went
his borax. 44 That's the business," be
observed with great satisfaction, aw be
.replaced the bung. 44 It will teach those

good in the first place," said Mr. Ander
son as he pushed his glass from him
that night at dinner. 44 We got swindled
on that cider."
44 1 think so," said Mr. Sherwood.
44 It had a bad taste when we tapped it.
It isn't fit to drink now."
44 I'd head a subscription with five
dollars to send that cider man to the
Penitentiary," observed Mr. Lefflg
well, severely. 41 Is not good cider.
We couldn't have put anything in to
keep it. What do you think Hatha
way?" 14 1 had my suspicions of it from the
first 1" replied Mr. Hathaway. "It's
old stock and I think we bad better
give it away."
And then there was a silence, and
each gentleman wondered if it hadn't
been better to have let the other gentle
men try their various recipes before zeal
ously administering his own.
An Arkansas Dog Story.
CAPT. REES PITCHARD owns a
dog that he would not part with for
the world. The world Is a pretty large
oiler, but be would not accept It for bis
j . -n Tin i.f A I
uog cruDO, vvueu iu juempum iioi iuug
ago, Bruno got separated from bis mas
ter in the crowded street, and when the
Captain went on board the steamboat
on bis return to Little Rock, the dog
was nowhere to be seen. The owner of
Bruno was much affected by the failure
of his faithful follower to stay with him.
They had traveled many times from
Little Rock to Memphis and back, both
by steamboat and cars. The wheels of
the Marlin Speed turned the requisite
number of times, and Capt. Pitchard
found himself in Little Rock. H$
mourned the loss of bis dog almost asjj.
much as ir ne naa iosi a cnua, dui mat
evening, as be was in his room, there
came a scratching at the door, and when
it was opened Bruno walked ia, wagging
his tall with the most frantic and evi
dent efforts to wag it off. How he got
home was a nine days' wonder. Capt.
Pltcbard saw a conductor of the Mem
phis and Little Rock railroad a day or
two after, who said: "Did your dog
come home?" 44 Yes; what do you
know about It?" 44 He rode over from
