Battle lSeVfen the Learirnt.
"We boys used to delight in tho battles
which resulted when two strange herds met.
Being with our own so much, we grew ac
quainted with all the personal iieculiarities of
each. They were not blooded cattle, with
hurt horns and houvy Sjodies, but great,
rangy, piebald creatures, with long, keen
horns, and wild eyes when rouwsL Wo ex
ulted when two strong nnd resolute steers
approached each other with tho ferocious
signs of battle. Tho lowered heads and
lolling tongues; the stiffened, swelling necks;
tho wrinkled skin around the rolling eyes;
the deep, ominous roar of their voices; the
cautious, sidelong approach, liko skilled box
ers all those, led up to tho sudden crch
itigs of tho meeting skulls uud horns.
And then follow tho straining thrusts,
tho sudden relaxations to cot an ad
vantage, tho clashing of shaken and
interlocked horns, the deep breathing,
tho terrible glu.ro of tho bloodshot eyes. Now
tho br indie gets the upper hold and presses
tho white to tho ground, nearly shutting off
his breath; now tho white gathers himself
for ono last, mighty effort, and lifting tho
other ujion his horns, literally runs away
with him.
This ends tho battle; for, curiously enough,
the victor in such cases is not vindictive
once fallen always beaten, is the rn!o with a
steer or cow. Each herd had its champion,
and so accurate did wo become in the rending
of these bovine characters that wo could tell
at once whether "OI' Uuu meant business"
or whether ''ho was only blitfiin' the other
feller." Hamlin Garland in American Mag

Tit Indian Struck Hiui First.
At an early hour tho other morning Carl
Soiffert had a sanguinary tussle with a
dummy Indian which was peacefully deti:g
duty as a cigar sign in front t u North
avenue stoto. -Mi tho blooi that was shed
flowed from' Car"s veins, and, though he
"knocked out" his man, he was much the
worse fof tl:o encounter. To tho policeman
who released the red mar. from CuiTs vise

and ha didn't propose to bo insulted by any
coppered colored Choctaw or Pawnee. Jus

Mine Hunting by Clairvoyants.
The mining prospector stands in danger of
losing his vocation. A man need no longer
shoulder a pick aud a shovel and sjend days,
weeks and months in traveling the moun
tains and gulches in search of tho precious
metals. Tho "magnetizcr" has dono away
with all that. All that a man requires to do
now is to be put to sleep or mesmerized and
started off to discover a mine. I met a
mesmerist the other day, and ho declared
that he had a colored man whom h,e ld sent
all over the country while, asleep, and who
had visited a certain spot in an Arizona min
ing region, which ho believed would be found
to be an immense mine. Ore indicators
must yield before the sleeping prospector,
and I have no doubt tho latter will also bo iu
demand to locate cro in mines which are now
equipped with all but that. James Haskell

Carelessness in Making Up.
.Many of our best actresses paint most care
lessly. They usually redden their lips vifth
a h'deo.us cherry paste, which often looks
quite revolting. The white is put on care
lessly, so that tho natural color of the fiesh, is
left behind the ears, and they rouge either
too much or too little, The black about the
eyes is pxit on so thickly as at times to quite
clog the ej-elids and to kill all expression save
that of tho idiotic stare of an ill made wax
work. Saturday Review.
As It Sounds to Others.
In the case of a person listening to his own
voice and utterances from the graphophone,
there is much for curiosity, if not wonder
ment. The person who never heard himself

self, as it were), is astonished at its sound.
"Can that be my voice as others hear itf ho
mentally asks, for it sounds in his or with
an almost unfamiliar ring aud tones. Boston

The Vlt of an "Xn.K.oi tl."
M. Labiche, who died in Paris not long
ago, was a memlier of tho French academy
one of tho forty literary "immortals" of
Franco. M. Lubicko originated the saying,
now not unfamiliar in characterizing a kt
son who, though ignorant, insists upon mak
ing a great show of what he thinks he Knows.
"He is a man of vast and varied misinforma
tion." Labiche expressed tho thought in this
way: "He has a great and varied ignor
ance." Not long after Labiche had used this
expression, and had otuliodicd it in a literary
work, Prince Bismarck said of sonic one:
"That man jiossesscs a perfect encyclopiodiae
ignorance." Labiche insisted that Bismarck
had borrowed the phrase from him. But it
is more probable that tho repetition was a
mere coincidence, na Bismarck himself is n
man of genuine wit. At the marriage of his
son, Labiche gave a littlo party, and, as ho
was quite unaccustomed to ceremonies of a
social sort, he was at first puzzled to know
what ho should say in greeting and parting
with so many people. "I have it 1 I have it!'
he exclaimed finally; "I will simply say to
each person as ho arrived, 'At last! and to
each as ho goes away, Already T" He car
ried out his programme, and all his guests
felt very much flattered. Pittsburg Bulletin.
Starvation and Ked Tape,
Once when I was in London a woman ap
plied to a hospital for food for her bubo,
.vhich was dying of btarvation. Tho com
mittee of gentlemen called her in and usked
her a string of questions, and finally said they
could not givo her anything unless sho had a
written application from the secretary. She
thanked them, gathered her dying child in
her arms nnd started off to look for tho sec
retary. He called her in, asked her ques
tions and said he could not make out tho ap
plication without an order, from tho doctor.
Sho thanked him and went back to the hos
pital to. t bo 'doctor. lie gave her tho order,
and with hope in her heart and hugging the
preciouj burthen to her breast, bidding the
littlo ono wait just an hour more, the poor
mother hurried away to the secretary, and
from him to tho hospital again. But when
food waj brought and sho drew the ragged
end Of her shawl away from tho luiby i face,
ihi littlo one lay d.-ad in her arms It. was

The Idiotic Topical Song-
The impression that all "topical song?,"
which form a prominent feature of the comic
operas, so called, are written in asylums for
idiots is not quite correct, though tha qual
ity of most of the song.i certainly gives color
to it. The nursery rhymo io bad enough,
perl-nps, but in comparison with the averago
topical song it is a gem of purest ray serene.
Every time I attend n comic ojera I want to
go out wien the topical song begins. In the
first place the alleged singer has no more
voice for melody than an old crow, and in
tho second place the words ho pretends to
sing are either idiotic, or, in a literary sense,
mere rubbish. It is a rule to inaka new
versos for every new thing that comes up.

The most beautiful bridal chamber ever
seen was ono recently fitted up by an English
duke for his bride. Her favorite flower is tho
daffodil, and it pi-edomiuates in the decora

grayish green and gold. Tho fringe and dado
are of dull gold canvas silk, hand c-mbroided
in white daffodils and narcissi. The chande
liers have for globes opaline glass on tho
same flower designs. Tho velvet carpet is
gray green, sprinkled with golden flowers.
The furniture is of heavy EnglL-Ji oak,
carved with winged love's heads, and tho
draperies and window hangings are of Span
ish lace, in conventional designs of daffodils.

Indians anil Whisky.
It is true that the Indian will drink whisky,
but the reason ho gets so uproariously drunk
is because, unlike tho white man, he does not
know how to use the drink. An Indian may
not take onelrink of whisky in five years ; then
some white man will give him a pint flask of
rye or bourbon, which he doesn't know how
to take in moderation, but drinks at one sit
ting, tho consequence being that tho Indian
becomes very drunk. Ho is like a child in
this respect, and knows no more than does a
child as to what the effect of t he liquor will
be. W. F. Cody in Tho Epoch.

Vhe Unmounted Cavalry.
It appears that besides having ships with
no guns, England has cavalrymen with no
horses. For example, the Third regiment
of Household cavalry Las but !SO0 horses for

have but 10,000 horses. In the German army
the usual proportion is 1,000 horses to 7u0

A writer in London Truth suggests u
sensible occupation for women who like
sewing, but do not wish to liecotae cither
dressmakers or seamstresses, and desire
to live in their own homes. It is the
overlooking and repairing of women's
wardrobes. After a clientelle had been
established it would undoubtedly bring in
very fair wages.
A firm of pyrotechnists in England
have at their factory a Newfoundland
dog which positively revels in fireworks,
lie rushes into a shower of sparks with
as much delight as in a cold bath, and on
a lighted squib being thrown within his
reach he will run after the smoldering
stump as if it were a bone and trample it
out with his paws.
M. Acliille Poincelet, in his lecture at
the Hall of tho Boulevard des Capucincs
in Paris the other day, discussed tho
qualities of blondes and brunettes, tho
differences in their love, their role in
private life and in history, linked with
the philosophy of beauty, and the ques
tion, which was tho superior type of
woman, the Parisienne or theGeorgienne?
He ignored entirely the red headed girl.
Fred Marsden, the playwright, con
sulted a well known physician a few days
before hi3 death as to the easiest and
quickest mode of suicide. Tho physi
cian supposed he was securing incidents
for a scene in one of hia plays, and ex
plained the subject to him patiently.
Finally Mr. Marsden said: "I havo it.
A big dose of chloral, then stop up all
the crevices atid turn on the gas,"
and this is just what he did. He offered
the physician 10 for his adyce, but it
was refused on the ground that no pro
fessional service has been rendered.
Against Food Adulteration.
A grocers conference has been called
in the interest of purer foods. It meets
on Coney Island in July. It seems at
last that adulteration has gone so far that
the grocerymen are afraid to cat what
they sell. Besides, the better class of
retailers find it impossible to obtain hon
est articles. There will be at hast five
thousand exhibitors of materials, and h
is believed tho discussion will not c nly l o
practically valuable in throwing light 011
hidden ways, but that there can be
brought to bear a heavy force on manu
facturers to put more honest articles on
the market. No proposition of more i;n
portance will come before any of our
summer conventions than this of pure
food and honorable deal. Meanw hile the
Concord School of 1 l-ilo.uiphy will hold
no session: so we bliaM have lo.s cf Hegei
and Arirtotla and more of honest fclu.t-i
and coffee and qu:iir.e which will no;
be regretted. Globe-Democrat.
