and Alligators.
Thcso stories are vouched for by
correspondents of the Cincimmli Jn-
quiver :
At Dayton , 0. , Mr. Louis Whilcomb ,
u core-maker , 1ms suffered for thre *
years pnsl with a stomach uilnion'
that ballled medical treatment. Con
vinced finally that some animated
organism was domiciled in his stomach -
ach , he detailed the symptoms to Jr.
H.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 physio. Whitcomb has ex
hibited to the defter 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 , 0. , 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 fo
some time was evident by the variou
substances found in its stomach
"NVhen cut open several small fish
pieces of river grass and a partly cli
Bested turtle were brought to light.
One Oyster for Two.
AVe laugh at the innocent young
housewife who ordered "half a doxei
halibut" for dinner. Had she lived ii
the South Pacific Islands she might
have been equally laughed at for or
dering half a dozen oysters not to
Bay a pint. The author of "Oysters ,
mid All About Them" gives some ex
arnplcs that nearly match the giam
clams and abaloncs of the California
' coast. -v" -
Pliny mentions that , according to
the historians of Alexander's expedi-
dition , oysters afoot in diameter were
found in the Indian Sens , and Sir
-.Tames E. Tennent was unexpectedly
enabled to corroboratethecorj-ectness
of this statement , for at Xottior , near
Trincomalec , enormous specimens ol
edible oysters were brought to the
rest , house. One measured "more than
eleven inche : ' in length by half as many
3ii wiutn.
h IJnt 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 areas lanje as a , dinner-plate ,
ar.d of much the same shape. They
a o sometimes more than a. foot
flcvo.-s the shell , and the oyster lits
iiis habitation so well that he does
not leave much margin.
Jt is a new sensation when a friend
-asks you to lunch , at Adelaide , to have
one oyster fried in butter , or in e s
and bread crumbs , set before you , but
it is a very pleasant experience : for
the flavor and delicacy of the Port
Lincoln mammoth are" proverbial ,
fiven 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
io take actual possession. The words
are the flower of chivalry.
.Cut an occasional visitor takes
these polite people at their word , and
they are too polite to explain the mis
take. When Gen. and Mrs. Grant
were 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 the beauty of
the city.
Among the F noritas was one lady
who stood conversing with the American -
can General's wife. She was supcibly
dressed , and carried a marvelou-s fan ,
* \vhicii Lad descended to her from her
great-grandmother. Jt was a cosrly
iffair of < arine , lace and diamonds.
iMrs. Grant admired it. upon which
the Spani.-h lady at once handed it to
lier. with the usual remark :
' It is yours , madame. with the
greatest fei ! < ily. 1 > o me tv \ great fav
or to posses yourself of it.'r
Mrs. Uranr was delighted ; she warm
ly thanked the lady and ki-pt the fan ,
nor would the dismayed senorita ,
who had lost her heirloom , permit the
mistake to be announced.
Where Nobody Starves.
"Within a hundred miles of the east
ass of Australia no native in an un
crippled condition has ever died from
lack of uLxstibie food a rather com
prehensive term in a country where
fern roots are boiled like potatoes ,
and snails and grasshoppers are con
sidered tidbits. Strange to say. the
martyrs of that horrid diet get old.

-observed in the viiia e * of iViitral
Ihis-aia. where mental stagnation pre

charity and parish poor laws pruled
every native from the risk of actual
starvation. Professor Oswald in
Good Words.
A Primate's Pleasantry.
A candidate for priest's orders
preaching his extempore trial sermon
before the late Archbishop Taft and
Dean Stanley , in his nervousness be-
ran stammering , "I will divide my
conTCgation into two the converted
amftfie unconverted. " This proved
too much for the Primate's sense of
humor , and he exclaimed : "I think
.sir as there are only two of us , you
had better say which is which. "

A PJECE OF GOLD ,
j.
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 little fortune ,
collected for this supreme struggle , he
fe5t giddy and thought he was going
to fall.
With di/.x.y head and tottering legs
he went and threw himself down upon
the broad leather settee surrounding
the play table. I
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 , crudelj
lit by the three large 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 , anil
felt an imperious need for breathing
thdpght air. The clock hands mark
ed a quarter before midnight. While
rising and stretching his arm ? . Lucien
remembered that it was Christmas
eve , and , by an ironic trick of memory ,
he saw himself a little child , putting
its .shoes into the chimney befon
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 grease.sta ins-approached Lucien ,
and "muttered a few words in his
beard "Lend 5-franc
grizzled : me a -
piece , monsieur. It's now two day&
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 stiller my hand to be cut
off if that number does-noE turn up on
the stroke of midnight/ '
Lucien Hem shrugized his shoulders.
( To had not even enoualr in. bis pocket
to meet this rax , which the frequent
ers of the place called ' 'The ijolers-
umdred sous. " ' He passed ! into the-
antechamber , took his hat and fur
coat , and descended the stairs with
everish rapidity.
Since 4 o'clock , , when- Lucien had
shut himself up in the gaming house ,
snow had fallen heavily , and the
street a street in the center of
? aris , very narrow , and built with
ligh houses on either side was com
pletely white.
In the calm sky , blue-black , thecold
stars glittered.
The ruined gambler shuddered' > -
der his furs , and walked away , his
nind still teeming with thoughts-
lespair , and more than ever turning
: o the remembranee of the box of pis-
ols which awaited him in one of his-
Irawers ; but after moving forward a
ew steps , he stopped suddenly before-
heart-wringing sit'lit.
On a stone bench , placed according
; o old custom near the monumental
door of a mansion , a little-girl of G
or T years of age , dressed in. a ragged
jlack frock was sitting in the snow.
She was sleeping , in spite of the cruel
cold , in an attitude of frightful fatigue
ind exhaustion ; her poor little head
ind tiny shoulder pressed as if they
iad sunk into an angle of the wall ,
and reposing on the icy stone. One
of her wooden shoes had fallen from
ier foot , which 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 he 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"
to the club attendant ; yet moved by
an 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
i-oin her foot , he saw something glit
ter.
ter.He stooped : it was a gold coin.
II.
Some charitable person , doubtless
some lady , had passed by , had seen
on this 'Christmas night the little
vooden shoe lying in frontof thesleep-
ng child , and/recalling the touching
egend. had placed there , with a secret
land , a magnificent offering , so that
his poor abandoned one might be-
ieve in presents made for the infant
Savior , 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
cst and riches for the beggar , and
jiicien was on the point of waking her
; o tell her this , when he heard near
lis ear , as in hallucination , a voice-
he voice of the Pole , with its coarse
Irawling accent , almost whisperiniz :
'Jt's now two days since I stirred out
of the club , and for two days the 'sev
enteen' has never turned up ; I'll suffer
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-
tary name and who had never swerved
from the path of honor , conceived a
frightful idea : he was seized with a
mad , hysterical , monstrous desire.
After ulancing 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 ru. 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 on
the green cloth and cried :
"I 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 louis 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. II is luck
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
bun. 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 at a time , and aided by
his fantastic vein of luck , he was on
the way to regaining , and more besides ,
the hereditary capital he had squand
ered in so fe\v years , and reconstitut
ing his fortune.
In his eagerness to return to the
gaming table , he had not taken off his
ftircoat. 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 handfuls of louis on to
the ' -picture. " at hazard , with a ges
ture of certainty nnd disdain !
Only something like a red-hot i.-on
was in his heart , and he thought of
nothing but of the little mendicant
sleeping in the snow whom he liad
robbed.
"Js she still at thesame spot ? Sure
ly she must be still there ! Presently
yes. when 1 o'clock strikes I swear
it ! I will quit this place. I wii ! take
her sleeping in my arms and carry her
to my home ; I will put Bier 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
ways ! * '
III.
J ? t the clock struck 1 , and then a.
quarter , and then a half , and then
three-quarter ? .
And Lneien 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

With abound Lucien was on his

the-stair * and : ran all the way to the
Srtone bench. In the distance , by the
light of a lamphe sftv - the little girl.
"God bepiiiibed ! " he said , "she is

approrw&eit her , he took her
' Oh ! how eold she is. poor little

He-took her under the nrms and
raised' her so that he might carry her ;
her. head fell back without her awak
ing.
" 'K > w soundly ehililr&n of her age

He pressed her- against h > s bosom to
warm her , and , > iexed by a vague in
quietude , and. with a view to rousing
her out of this- heavy slumber , he
kissed : her eyelids.
Then it was that he perceived with
terror that these eyeballs were half
open , showing lialf the eyeballs
glassy , sightless , , motionless. Upon
is brain ila heii a horrible suspicion.
He placed hi > mouth do e to that of
the little girl ; no breath came from it.
While with the gold piece which lie
had stolen , fro in thismedicant Lucien
had won a fortune at the gaming
table , the hoiieless child had died
died of cold !

Seized by the throat by the most
'rightful of agonies , Lucien tried to
itter a cry. and. in the effort which
ic made , awoke from his nightmare on
; he club settee , on which he had gone
to sleep a little before midnight , and
where the attendant who had quitted
: he house last had left him out of
charity.
The misty dawn of a December
norning was graying the window
wnes.
Lucien went out in the street , pledged
lis watch , took a- bath , breakfasted.
ind then went to the recruiting office
ind signed an engagement as
i volunteer in the First regi-
nent of Chasseurs d' Afrique.
At the present time Lucien Hemisu

Tetion to see what it was that

Great was his surprise at the poor

' Cats as Clocks.
Everyone knows that cats can see
in the dark , but the reason they can 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 the Abbe
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. I'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 thedarkness of a storm
would sadly derange your four-footed
clock and put it all wrong. . - * $ : .
Men Behind Dress-goods Count
ers.
If you have done much shopping
you must have noticed that more
men than women are employed at the
dress goods counters , observes a I
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 some
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 thaf a woman could
grab up a piece or' goods and shorit
toadvantage. . I never saw one thai
conkl do it. Few women .are gooil
judges of combinations of colors
on the counter. A modiste is. of
course , but n woman cannot al
ways hi'A'e a irradiste 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. Thev teem to know
as soon as they see a woman what
will become her in the way of dress
goods. There are many articles in
Mich a store as this which women pre-
j'er to buy of their OTrn sex. but when
it conies to dress goods- they perfer to
deal wit h men. "

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 : ii. Schntzenberger , a
cheraical expert , , to ascertain whether
the dyes coloring the stockings con-
tamed poisonous matter. He has
sent in his report , in which he says
that all the many specimen 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 en
ters into solution and is thus taken
into the pores. The professor had no
doubt that it was the cause of the
pustural rash which accompanies tin
use of red stockings. The Board o !
Hesi 1th has reported in favor of tin-
interdiction lor wearing apparel o :
dyes obtained from metallic prepara
tions.
In selecting breedeng birds , pick out
the besc and discard all of the weak ,
sickly ones. Generally it is best to
use fowls for breeding that are at least
one year old. If pullets are desired.
haveold hens and young cockerels : it
roosters are desired reverse this. So
far no rul * has been discovered for de
termining the sex of eggs ; it is all guess
work. Save all the poultry manure
to use in the garden in the spring.
