TWO OHIO YARNS.
Frog AIlvo In a Man for Three Years
and Alligators.
These stories are vouched for by
correspondents of the Cincinnati Jn-
quircr :
At Dayton , 0. , Mr. Loins Whitcomb ,
ti core-maker , lias suffered for thrt"
years past ivith a stomach ailment
that ballled medical treatment. Con
vinced finally that some animated
organism was domiciled in his stom-
Jich , lie detailed the symptoms to Jr.
31. T. Weis. The doctor's diagnosis
satisfied him that something was hop
ping about in Whitcomb's stomach.
Emetics failed to elevate the unknown ,
when the doctor resorted to potions
that kill. This was followed by a
powerful physic. Whitcomb has ex
hibited to the doctor the web feet and
other undigested remnants of a huge
frog that had been making its home in
the core-maker's stomach for the past
three years.
At Akron , O. , considerable interest
lias been created over the discovery oi
an alligator six feet long in the waters
of the Little Cuyahoga river. That
the reptile had lived in the water for
some time was evident by the various
substances found in its stomach.
When cut open several small fish ,
pieces of river grass and a partly di
gested turtle were brought to lit ht.
One Oyster for Two.
We laugh at the innocent young
housewife Avho ordered "half a dozen
halibut" for dinner. Had she liA-od in
the South Pacific Islands she might
IKIA-C been equally laughed at for or
dering half a , dozen oysters not to
Bay a pint. The author of "Oysters ,
: md All About Them" giA'cs some ex
amples that nearly match the giant
clams and abaloncs of the California
coast. - * -
Pliny mentions that , according to
the historians of Alexander's expcdi
dition , oysters a foot in diameter were
found in the Indian Sens , and Sii
James E. Tennent Avas unexpectedlj
enabled to corroborate thecorrectness ,
of this statement , for al Kottior , neai
Trincomalec , enormous specimens o
edible oysters were brought to the
rest hou e. One measured "more than
eleven incha' in length by half as many
311 width.
3 > ut this extraordinary measure
ment is beaten by the oysters of Port
Lincoln in South Australia , which are
the largest edible ones in the world.
They are as large as a dinner-plate ,
ar.d of much th same shape. They
MO sometimes more than a foot
.across the shell , and the oyster lits
Iiis habitation so well that he does
not leave much margin.
It is a new sensation when a friend
asks you to lunch , at Adelaide , to have
one oyster fried in butter , or in eggs
and bread crumbs , sot before you , but
it is a very ple.-isant experience : for
the ilavor and delicacy of the Port
Lincoln mammoth are' proverbial ,
. A-en in that land of luxuries.
Where Politeness Was Expensive.
The Spanish lover has a very pretty
way of saying , ' -I throw myself at
your feet , senorita. " Of course he
- does nothing of the kind. The Span
ish hostess says to her friends , -'Pos-
sess yourself of my house , it is all
yours , " but she does not expect them
4o take actual possession. The words
are the floxvw of chivalry.
.Cut an occasional visitor takes
these polite people at their word , and
"they are too polite to explain themis-
-take. When Gen. and Mrs. Grant
Avcre in Cuba , says the Detroit Free
Press , they were invited to dine at the
palace of the governor general in Ha
vana. In the evening a ball was given ,
which was attended by t lie beauty of
the city.
Among the F noritas Avas one lady
Avho stood conversing Avith the Ameri-
caii soneral's wife , tjhe was superbly
dressed , and carried a marvelous fan ,
Avhich had descended to her from her
: great-granumoiher. Jt was a costly
affair of < arvinc , lacoand diamonds.
I\Irs. \ Grant admired it. upon which
the spamsn jady at once handed it to
her , Avith the usual remark :
' Jt is yours , madame. Avith the
greatest ) > ! : > ity. J > o me t\v \ great fav
or to posse.-s yor.r = elf of it. ' '
Mrs. Grant Avas delighted ; sheAvarm-
ly thanked the lady and kept the fan ,
nor Avoulu the dismayed senorita ,
Avho had lo t her heirloom , permit the
mistake to be announced.
Where Nobody Starves.
" \Vithin a hundred miles of the east
coast of Australia no native in an un

prehensive term in a country where

every native from the risk of actual

A Primate's Pleasantry.
A candidate for priest's orders

before the late Archbishop Taft and
Dean Stanley , in his nervousness be

A PIECE OF GOLD ,
i.
When Lucien Hem saw his last 100-
franc note gripped by the bank-
keeper's rake , and rose from the
roulette table , where he had lost the
last -fragments of his iittio fortune ,
collected for this supreme struggle , he
feJt giddy and thought he was going
to fall.
With dizzy head and tottering legs
he went and threw himself down upon
the broad leather settee surrounding
the play table.
For some minutes he gazed vacant
ly on the clandestine gambling house
in which he had squandered the best
years of his youth ; recognized the
ravaged faces of the gamblers , crudely
lit by the three largo shaded lamps ;
listened to the light "jingle of gold on
the cloth-covered table ; felt that he
was ruined , lost ; recollected that he
had a home the pair of regulation
pistols which his father , General Hem ,
then a simple captain , had used so
well in the attack of Zaatcha ; then ,
overcome by fatigue , he sank into a
profound sleep.
When he arose , with a clammy
mouth , he saw by the clock that he
had slept for barely half an hour , and
felt an imperious need for breathing
thdjiiight air. The clock hands mark
ed a quarter before midnight. While
rising and stretching his arms. Lucien
remembered that it was Christinas
eve , and , by an ironic trick of memory ,
he saw himself a little child , putting
its shoes into the chimney before
going to bed.
At that moment old Dronski a
pillar of the gaming hou.-e , the classic
Pole , wearing the threadbare hooded
woolen cloak , ornamented all over
with grftasestains approached Lucien ,
and muttered a few words in his
beard "Lend 5-franc
grizzled : me a -
piece , monsieur. It's now two days
since 1 have stirred out of the club ,
and for two days the 'seventeen' has
never turned up. Laugh at me , if you
like , but I'll sutler my hand to be cut
off if that number does-noc turn up on
the stroke of midnight/ '
Lucien Hem shrugged Iiis shoulders.
He had not even enough' in. bis pocket
to meet this tax , which the frequent
ers of the place called "The Pole's i
hundred sousHe passed ! into the-
antechamber , took his hat and fur
coat , and descended the stairs with
feverish rapidity.
Since 4 o'clock , . Avhen- Lucien had
shut himself up in the gaming house ,
snoAV had fallen heavily , and the-
street a street m the center of
Paris , very narroAV , and built Avith
high houses 011 either side \vas- com
pletely Avhite.
In the calm sky , blue-black , thecokl
stars glittered.
The ruined gambler shuddered' -
der his furs , and Avalked away , his
mind still teeming AA'ith thoughts-
despair , and more than eA'er turning
to the remembrance of the box of pis
tols Avhich aAvaited him in one of his-
draAvers ; but alter moving forward a.
few steps , he stopped suddenly before-
a heart-wringing siuht.
On. a stone bench , placed according
to old custom near the monumental
door of a mansion , a little-girl of G
or 7 years of age , dressed in. a ragged
black frock Avas sitting in the snow.
She Avas sleeping , in spite of the cruel
cold , in an attitude of frightful fatigue
and exhaustion : her x > oor little head
and tiny shoulder pressed as if they
had sunk into an annle of the wall ,
and reposing on the icy stone. One
of her Avooden shoes had fallen from
loot , wmch hung helplessly and
ugubriously before her.
With a mechanical gesture , Lucien
nit his hand to his waistcoat pocket ,
nit a moment afterwards he recollect
ed that lie had not been .ble to find
even a forgotten piece of 20 sous , , and
lad been obliged to leave the club
vithont giving the customary "tip"
: o the club attendant ; yet moved by
in instinctive feeling of pity , he approached
preached the little girl , and might ,
perhaps , have taken her in his arms
ind given her a night's lodging , when ,
n the wooden shoe which had slipped
rom her foot , he saw something glit
ter.
ter.He stooped : it was a gold coin.
Some charitable person , doubtless
some lady , had passed by , had seen
on this 'Christmas night the little
vooden shoe lying in front of the.sleep-
ng child , and , recalling the touching
egend. had placed then * , with a secret
land , a magnificent offering , so that
his poor abandoned one might be-
ieve in presents made for the infant
avior , and preserve , in spite of her
nisfortune , some confidence and some
lope in the goodness of Providence.
A gold piece ! It was several days of
est and riches for the beggar , and
Lucien was on the point of waking her
; o tell her this , when he heard near
lis ear , as in hallucination , a voice
the voice of the Pole , with its coarse
Irawling accent , almost whispering :
'It's now two days since I stirred out
of the club , and for two days the 'sev
enteen' has never turned up ; I'll stiller
my hand to be cut off , if that number
does not turn up on the stroke of
midnight. "
Then this young man of three and
twenty , descended from a race of
honest men , who bore a proud mili-
I
tary name and who had never swervea
from the path of honor , conceived a
frightful idea : he was seized with a
mad , hysterical , monstrous desire.
After L'lancing on all sides , to make
sure that he was alone in the deserted
street , he bent his knee , and carefully
outstretching his trembling hand , he
stole the gold piece from the fallen
shoe !
Hurrying then , with al. speed , he re
turned to the gambling house , scaled
the stairs two and three at a stride ,
and entering the accursed play-room
as the first stroke of midnight was
sounding , placed the piece of gold ou
the green cloth and cried :
"f stake on the seventeen ! "
The seventeen won.
With a turn of the hand Lucien
pushed the thirty-six louis on to the
"red. "
The "red" won.
He lifted the seventy-two Ipui.s on
the same color ; the "red" again won.
Twice he "doubled" three times
always with the same success , lie
had now before him a pile of gold and
notes and began to scatter stakes all
over the board ; the "dozen , " the "col
umn , " the "number , " all the combi
nations succeeded with him. llisluck
was unheard of , supernatural. It
might have been imagined that the
little ivory ball dancing in the roulette
was magnetized , fascinated by the
eyes of this player and obedient to
him. In a dozen stakes he had recov
ered the few wretched thousand franc
notes , his last resources , which he had
lost at the beginning of the evening
Now , punting with two or three
hundred louis a ? a time , and aided in *
his fantastic vein of luck , he was on
the way to regaining , and more besides ,
the hereditary capital he had squand
ered in so few years , and reconstitut
ing his fortune.
Jn his eagerness to return to the
gaming table , he had not taken off his
fttrcoat. Already he had crammed
the large pockets with bundles of notes
and rouleaux of gold pieces ; and , not
knowing where to heap his winnings ,
he now loaded the inner and exterior
pockets of his frock coat , the pockets
of his waistcoat and trousers , his
cigar case , his handkerchief every
thing that could be made to hold his
money.
And still he played , and still he won.
like a madman , like a drunken man !
And he threw handfuis of louis on to
the "picture. " at hazard , with a ges
ture ot certainty and disdain :
Only fcOinething like a red-hot iron
was in his heart , and he thought oi
nothing but of the little mendicant
sleeping in the snow whom he liad
robbed.
"Is she still at thesame spot ? Sure
ly she must be still there ! Presently
yes. when 1 o'clock strikes Iwear I
it ! I will quit this place. I wiil take
her sleeping in my arms and carry her
to my home ; I will put Eser in my
warm bed ; I will bring her up-give her
a dowry , love'her as if she were my
own daughter , care for her always , al-
wavs ! " '
III.
But the clock struck 1 , and then a-1
quarter , and then a half , and then
three-quarters * .
And Lncic-n was still seated at the
infernal table.
At length , one minute before 2
o'clock , the keeper of the bank rose
abruptly ami said in a loud voice :
"The bank i * broken , gentlemen
enough fc > rtodav. * '
With a bo-uiul Lucien was on his
feet. Roughly pushing aside the
gamblers who surroundetl him and regarded -
garded him. with envious admiration.

{ mo stair3 andi mil all the way to the
Srtone bench. In the distance , by the
light of a lamphe sv the little girl.
God ptai&edl" he said , "she is
still there.
approtwrfaeil her , he took her
hamas.
"Oh ! IIOAV cs ! < i she is. poor little
one ! "
He- took her under the arms and
raised' her so that lie might carry her ;
her- head fell back without her awak
ing.
Haw soundl eluKlren of her ae
lie pressed her- against his bosom to
warm her , and , yezed by a vague in
quietude , and. with a view to rousing
her out of this- heavy Srhnnber , he
kii cui her eyelids.
Then it way that he perceived with
terror that these eyeballs were half
open , showing half the eyeballs
glassy , sightless , motionless. Upon
his brain ila hesi a horrible suspicion.
He placed his mouth close to that of
the little girl ; no breath came from it.
While with the gold piece which he
had stolen frosa this medic-ant Lucien
had won a fortune at the gaming
table , the ho-neless child had died
died of cold !
IV.
Seized by the throat by the most
frightful of agonies , Lucien tried to
utter a cry. and. in the eil'ort which
he madeawoke from his nightmare on
the club settee , on which he had gone
to sleep a little before midnight , and
where the attendant who had quitted
the house last had left him out of
charity.
The 'misty dawn of a December
morning was graving the window
O C7 7
panes.
Lucien went out in the street , pledged
his watch , took a bath , breakfasted.
and then went to the recruiting otlice
and signed an engagement as
a volunteer in the First regi
ment of Chasseurs d' Afrique.
At the pre&ent time Lucien Ileniisa
lieutenant ; he has only his pay to
live upon , but he contrives to make
it suflice. being a very steady oih'eer
and never touchihg a card. It ap
pears even that he has found the
means of saving , for the other day ,
at Algiers , one of his comrades who
was following him at a few paces dis
tant in one of the hilly streets of
Kasha , saw him give something in
charity to a little Spanish girl sleep
ing in'a doorway , au < l had the indis
cretion to see what it was that
Lucien had given to the child.
Great was his surprise at the poor
lieutenant's generosity.
Lucien Hem had put into the hand
of the poor child -a piece of gold !
From the French of Francois Cfoppee ,
in Strand Magazine.
' Cats as Clocks.
Everyone knows that cats can see
in the dark , but the reason they clui dose
so is because of the peculiar construc
tion of' their eyes. You may have
noticed that in a moderate light the
pupil or black part in pussy's eyes is
small and oval shaped , while in the
full glare of light it becomes narrow.
Now , in the dark , it expands to a
circle , and nearly fills the surface oi
the eyeball.
This peculiarity of the cat's eye is
turned to account in a curious manner
by the Chinese. The Abbe Hue relates
that-when he was travelling in China'
he asked his attendant what time it
was. The man went over to a cat
that was quietly basking in the sun ,
and , examining its eyes , told theAbbe
that it was about two hours after
noon , and on being questioned how he
knew that , explained that the
pupils of a cat's eye were largest in
the morning , and that they gradually
grew smaller as the light increased ,
till they reached their minimum
at noon ; that then they began to
widen again , till at night they once
more became large.
The good Abbe was filled with ad
miration for the ingenuity of a poo-
pie who could use cats as clocks. ! > ut
it must be admitted that , this way oi
telling the time of day is rather a loose
one , and could only be trusted in very
clear and serene weather , for tempo
rary gloom or the darkness of a storm
would sadly derange your four-footed
clock and put it all wrong.jscns .
Men Behind Dress-goods Count
ers ,
If you have done much shopping
you must have noticed that more
men than women arc employed at the
dress goods counters , observes a
Chicago Tribuneshopper. It occurred
to the writer to ask if there was any
reason for this. The manager re-plied ,
just as if he had been expecting tome
one to ask the question. "There are
several reasons for it. Women do
not like to take the say-so of their
own sex on dress goods men ha\e
better ideas of combination than
women : men are more diplomatic in
dealing with woman than saleswomen
are. A saleswoman can accomplish
more at some other counter * than
men. But at the dress-goods counter
men make best employes. You would
naturally think that a woman could
grab up a piece of goods and shew it
to advantage. I never saw one that
conkl do it. Few women are goot !
judges of combinations of colors
'
on 'the counter. A modiste is. of
course , but n woman cannot al
ways h-f.ve a modiste with her when
she goes shopping , ifon who are in
this business take to a thing-like com
bining colors as naturally as ducks
take to water. They teem to know
as soon as-they see a woman what
will become her in the -vay of dress
goods. There are many articles in
Mich a stone as this- which women pre-
ier to buy of their o rn sex. but when
ft conies to dress good they perfer to
deal with men. "
Prompt Ruling.
li is chiefly in-civil conrts that com
plaint is made of the law' ; * delay. "
CouTts martial are only temporary
organizations , and cannot continue
cases from term , to term. But with
all the promptness- inWtary legal
procedure , it is HOV often tV-at ; i decis
ion b obtained with : aolirt'c- ' hesita
tion as in the following case-
An old lady living in "Di..ri.t- in the

Tne Danger of Wearing Red Stock
ings.
It has been remarked : that the wear
ing by children , of red stockings coin
cides with pustular eruptions on their
legs nnd feet. The Board of Health in
Paris employed M. Schntzenberger , a
chemical expert , to ascertain whether
the dyes colouring the stockings con
tained poisonous matter. He ha >
sent in his report , in which heays
that all the many specimens submit
ted to him derived their red color from
aniline and containing a large proportion
tion of antimoniac oxide. A > chil
dren perspire freely , this matter enters - [
ters into solution and is thus , taken
into the pores. The profe.-sor had no
doubt that it was * the cau.-e of t'lt- '
pustural rash which accompanies tin-
use of red stockings. The Board oi !
Health has reported in favor of tin-
interdiction ) 'or wearing apparel o :
dyes obtained from metallic prepara
tions.
In selecting breedeng birds , pick out
the bosc and discard all of the weak ,
sickly ones. Generally it is best to
use fowls for breeding that areat least
one year old. If pullets are desired ,
have'old hens and young cockerels : if
roosters arc desired reverse this. So
far no nil * has been discovered for de
termining the sex of eggs ; it is allgue > s
work. Save all thf ( poultry manure
to use in the garden in the spring.
