AfSTRANGE CASE. A CnUd Who b Afflicted In the Moat Peculiar Way. Dr. George II. Hazelwood relates the || story of a 10-yoar-old child of one of his patients, who cannot speak to its father, though perfectly glib witli , ; everyono olso. Tho cause assigned may be gathered from the following: v : Previous to tho child's birth a differ ence arose between the parents, and for sevoral weeks the mothor refused || to speak to the husband. Tho oiTcnso, ||: whatever it was, was condoned, but not till after the child was born. In due time the little boy began to talk, ;| but when with his father was invaria bly silent It continued thus until the child was 0 or 0 yer.rs old, when the father, having exhausted his powers of persuasion, threatened con dlgn punishment for its stubbornness. This was inflicted, but without elicit ing a word, though his groans told I too plainly he could neither cry nor speak, and that he vainly tried. Those present joined in the opinion that the prenatal effect of the parental quarrel made it impossible for the boy to speak to his father. Time has proved the correctness of this theory. Though on perfectly friendly relations with his father, attempts to speak to him elicit nothing but signs. A MATTER OF KICKS. When Things Wars Explained a Fear ful Doubt Arose. A young Poughkeepsian a few days since picked up a friend on Market street and took him home to lunch without notice to the former’s wife. She called him one side and explained , that there were only a dozen raw oysters, and when their friend had eaten his quota of four he must not be asked to take more. All this the husband promised to remember. When the guest had eaten his four oysters the host asked him to take > some more. The wife looked dis tressed, and the guest deolined. The husband insisted that his friend ' should have more. The wife looked as if she were in agony, and the guest firmly refused to allow tho rest of the oysters to be brought from the * kitchen. Later the wife said to her husband: “How could you urge him to have more oysters when I explained to you that there weren't any more?" «I am very sorry," said the penitent , husband, “but I forgot all about it" “What do you suppose I was kicking you under the table for?" retorted his wife. “But you didn’t kick mel’ ’ said the husband. SHE QOT t TO 9 MEEK JOHN. Dm Lady Wasn't to Do Kept Saok by Senatorial Regulations. The ways and means committee, having under consideration the H revenue bill, were sitting behind closed doors and were impervious to cards The messenger at the door would take none in. He had his in-' structlons and lived up to them. But while the group of correspondents cooled their heels outside in company with a few interested tariff experts a I lady of imperious mien swept up and handed the doorkeeper her card - ; “Take that in to my husband, ” she exclaimed. The doorkeeper hesitated, caught her eye, and disappeared without a word. In a moment the lady’s hus mand emerged. “John," she said, “did you take those pUls?” “Yes, my dear,” was the meek re sponse. |J. “All right. Mow you must take , one of these powders,” and she handed him a little paper package. ‘ He took it, re-entered the committee ' ' room, swallowed the potion, and then business was resumed. | A Burglar Who Knjoyed a Joke. “If a man is inclined to take a :'|l bheerful view of things," said a re || tired burglar, “he can find some en joyment even in his reverses. I re member well going late one bight into a house in the western part of the state. It was a big house with a most promising exterior, but when I > finally got inside I found it plum empty; the people had moved out and taken away everything. I had lost my time, but to this day it makes me !' laugh whenever 1 think of the ex treme care I had taken to avoid wak ing up people who were miles away. ” Ik* Vm Pasted oa 'Whiskers. A Milwaukee heiress was introduced to a young1 man the other day and re marked that she did not like the cut of his whiskers. He offered to shave them off it she would marry him and she immediately consented. As soon ‘ as the barber and minister could get in their deadly work the twain were * made one. There may be a moral in this story for rich maidens or hirsute bachelors, but we don’t know where to find it. Those interested, however, may study it out at their leisure. * Penn and Charles Second. Charles the Second, for whom the ; v earl of Rochester made this epitaph: f‘' “Neversaid a foolish thing and never did A wise one,” could convey a re proof with wit and gentleness. When JPenn stood before him, with his hat on, the king took off his own. “Friend Charles,.” paid the Quaker, “why dost W/ thou notput on thy hat?” “’Tisthe custom of this place,” returned the king, “that never more. than one per -■ son should be covered at a tiine.” Too Expensive to. Be Eaten. The other night I heard a lady expostulating with her 9-months-old 1 baby. She objected very seriously to his contracting the habit of eating ’■'f."• coal. The little fellow was seated on the floor playing. Suddenly he reach ed over near the fire-place and picked up a'lump of coal the size of an brdmary marble. His mpther notic ing it, rebuked the baby as follows: “Darling, please don’t eat that coal. feV It is worth |S a load now. 1 fe if*.-A ■ ' V /«•*..» •. • LEAD POISONING. Filter of Charcoal Don Away With Hunger From Drinking Water. An English medical journal com ments on the prevalence of lead poisoning from drinking water, and suggests that all danger of such a deleterious influence can bo removed by using charcoal filters. The char coal, a considerable bulk of which should be used, should bo powdered or granulated, and it should bo re newed at frequent intervals. It is noted that in England lead poisoning lias in former years been most prevalent Detween June ana October. Itosulos the higher tempera ture other factors are involved in causing the greater energy of water from cortain districts, especially moor lands, as a lead Bolvcnt during the summer months, the much greater activity of vegetable life during that time being liable to lead to an in crease of those, possibly acid, pro ducts, which give to water ilowing from cortain soils its power of dissolv ing lead from the pipes through which it passes. The small reBldual trace of lead which seems to bo constantly present in the pipe water of some towns, although it causes no obvious disease in the majority, is undoubtedly an in jurious Influence to gouty people and other peculiarly susceptible persons, acting as it does continuous ly month after month and year after year. It is therefore ad visable to take no risks on the issue, but to adopt the simple precau tion already suggested, and to drink no water that has not passed through the filter. THE DEAD SEA. It Is to B« lloomuil ns a Delicious and Inviting Summer Resort. Among the few seaside places that are not much advortised in these days are the shores of the Doad sea: they are not marine “resorts” because no body ever goes to them. It is now stated, however, that the sultan—who is the proprietor of the locality in ques tion—and an American speculator have laid their heads together and devised a plan for its exploitation. It3 waters possess plenty of salt, bitumen and sulphur, which will be useful for com mercial purposes; and the associations of the neighborhood, it is. hoped, will prove attractive to tourists. Two vessels—one large and heavy for local products and a lighter one for pas senger traffic—have accordingly been conveyed to Jerusalem, and thence to the Dead sea. A pickle manufactory is to be erected on its shores. It is thought that every visitor would like to carry away at least ono bottle as a souvenir. It is curious, however, that not a word is said about preserving the Dead sea fruit, which has a world-wide reputa tion. " She Married Three. Hengrave Hall, near Bury St. Edmunds, which has been sold for over 8450,000, at one time belonged to Penelope, a daughter of Earl Rivers. Of this fair aristocrat an amusing story is told. She had three suitors at the same time, Sir George Trench ard, Sir John Gage and Sir William Hervey; and, to keep peace between the rivals, sho threatened the first aggressor with her perpetual displea sure, telling them that if they would wait she would have them all in turn—a promise which she actually performed. The gentleman first favored was! Sir George Trenchard. He diod shortly afterward, and it was not long before she became Lady Gage. Sir John, by whom she had nine children, died in the year 1833, and two years later his widow was led to the altar by Sir William Ilervev. The ady su rvived all her husbands. The Scotch Chief1! Prayer. The chief of the Leslies is said to have prayed before a battle: “Be on our side! An’ gin ye canna ho on our side, aye lay low a bit, an’ ye'll see thae carles get a hidin’ that mast please ye." An old Covenanter, who ruled his household with a rod of iron, is said to have prayed in all sincerity at family worship: “O Lord, liae a care o' Rob, for he is on the great deep, an’ Thou holdest it in the hollow o’ Thy hand. And hae a care o’ Jamie, for he hae gone to fight the enemies o’ his country, an’ the outcome o’ the battle is wi’ Thee. But ye need na fagh yersel’ wi’ wee Willy, for I hae him here, an’ I'm cawpable o’ lookin’ after him mvsel’.” Phonetic Spelling. An extraordinary story of the dan ger of phonetic spelling is told by an Australian paper. A Scandinavian named Olo Baumgartz, who is estab lished in Australia as a school-master, was astonished and outraged one day by the receipt of the following mis sive: "Old Boom guts, is queer. Cur, ass, you ar a man of no legs, 1 wish to inter my bowie in your skull.” A conference was held, and the writer, a new-comer, was visited by a body pf inhabitants and asked indignantly to read his letter aloud, and say what he meant by it. lie read: "Ole Bauia gartz, Esq. Sir: As you are a man of knowledge, I wish to enter my boy in your school. ” Practical Illustration* A farmer asked a well-known Father Tom Maguire what a miracle was. lie gave him a very full explanation, which, however, did not seem quite to satisfy the farmer, who said: “Now, do you think, your reverence, you could give me an example of a mira cle?” "Well,” Slid- Father Tom, "walk on before me and I’ll see what I can do.” As he did so he gave him a tremendous kick behind. "Did you feel that?” he asked. "Why wouldn’t I feel it?” said the farmex, rubbing the damaged place; "begorra I did feel it, sure enough.” “Well,” said Father Tom, "it would be a miracle if you didn’t’ h>i&S ; * rats* ' \ 'l .. ...... HE'LOST HIS CHUM. Eulogy of a Street Oamlu Over DU Dead Companion. A newsboy, small, wiry, with eyes like a ferret and a cltuched fist, sat on the curbstone crying in an aggres sive way when a pedestrian halted and laid his hand on the youngster’s shoulder. "What's wrong, sonny?” “I ain't yer sonny.” "Well, what’s wrong, my boy?” “Ain’t yer boy, cither. Lbmme be.” “Oh, see here now, what’s the row? Lost five cents in the gutter?” “Naw I ain’t—oh, oh, oh!” “Spit it out, then.” \vi o t'liura a oeau. “Oh,(that's another thing. How did he happen to die?" “Runned over.” ‘‘So. Was there an inquest?” “Inques’ nothin’. lie jest hollered once, and rolled over dead. An’ I, wish I was dead, too, along of him.” “Cheer up! You can find another chum.” “Yer wouldn’t talk that way if you’d kuowed Dick. He was the best friend I ever had. There warn’t nothin’ Dick wouldn’t a done for me. An’ now he’s d-d-dead an’ buried. I'm a wishin’ I was too." “Look here,” said the man, “go and sell your papers, and take some poor little ragged boy and bo a. chum to him. It’ll help you and do him good.” “Pshaw, mister; where’s there a boy wot’d go around nights with me an’ be cold and hungry and outen doors, and sleep (on the groun' like Dick? An’ ho wouldn’t teeh a bit till I’d had enuff. He were a Christian, Dick were.” “Then you can feel that he’s all right if ho was such a faithful friend and good boy.” “Boy? Dick a boy? Lord! Dick warn’t only a ragged’ good for noth in’ human boy, mister—Dick were a dog.” SPARE THE BIRDS. A Protest Against the Wanton Destruc tion of the Feathered Tiibe. An American dealer sold last year 2,000,000 bird skins. All were used for ornamenting woman’s attire. Wo men ought to cry down this vanity that feeds and pampers the destruc tion of the feathered tribes. The birds sacrificed are, of course, those of the richest plumage, and, of course, also, those that will be least easily re placed. In fact,if this thing continues, American bird life of the gentler order will pretty soon become extinct. Is not | the warfare the American humane society has opened upon the bird-skin traffic wholly justifiable? Wo think so. The destruction referred to con tributes not one whit to human need or human comfort. It adds nothing to the intellectual, nothing to the mental. It is simply wantonness practiced at the beck of fashion, and as Billy and meaningless a fashion, too, as ever was spawned from the brain of a man milliner. Thero are birds in plenty tha,t shod their plum age, to supply the vain demand for flaming head gear. Why should the fashion inonarchs be inexorable, and also demand the bodies of our feath ered songsters? mysterious Growth of the Mushroom. One of the popular mysteries of fungoid vegetable growths is the de velopment of the mushroom. Ques tion the average farmer on this point and he will tell you that “mushrooms never have seeds,” and that they “spring up in a single night.” The "spring up” part is all right as far as the fungi's above-ground development is concerned, but as a matter of fact the mushroom lies for days, and in dry times for weeks, just under the surface fully developed, waiting for a warm, damp night in order to proper ly make his debut in open air. Then, too,, they have seeds (spores), and not a few of them either, some species ex hibiting os many as 10,000,000 in a sin gle agaric, which develops on the un derside of the fungus. Blgumim ut Klghtoen. It is seldom that the courts are called upon to prosecute a girl scarcely 18 years old for the serious crime of bigamy, yet this is what was done at Ballston, N. Y., recently, and the evidence was so conclusive that the accused was convicted and sent to prison. Nellie Duclos of Saratoga Springs, had a mania for marrying, and although she is but 18 years of age, she hns three husbands living. She was arraigned in the -court of ses sions on an indictmont charging her with bigamy, in having married Wil liam Lawler of Albany and Frank Clough of Asbury Park, while her first husband, Charles Duclos of Sar a toga, is living. She pleaded guilty. Two Dead* With But a Single Bump. A conductor on a Denver and Rio Grande train was thrusting' his head out to catch a signal when he bumped heads with the conductor of another train which was standing on a siding. The other conductor also was leaning out to catch a signal. Both men were knocked senseless. The accident seems to be the first of its kind in the history of railroading. Heads are of ten smashed against bridges, other cars, etc., but the evil spirit of the railroad business must have been par ticularly malignant when he put up a job to have two heads smashed to gether. 1 The DauJollon Hoad. It is said that u certain Western railroad is known as tho '‘Dandelion Road” because in their season dande lions grow in such profusion alpng the roadway that passing trains mat them down on the rails. The oil which is pressed out causes the wheels to slip so badly that trains have been stalled and the passengers have left the cars and walked to their destinations. The equipment account of this road in cludes a regular outlay for mowers, scythes and sickles. : ... . » A BAD PREDICAMENT. The Olrla Surprised the Young Man Asleep on a Parlor Soft. A very amusing story is told con cerning a prominent young Louis ville society man who visited Chicago during the world’s fair. Ho was boarding at the homo of relatives while there, and, as large crowds came flocking in during the last week, he was so accommodating as to give up his room and sleep on a sofa in the parlor. une morning he overslept himself, and, as his door was unlocked, what was his surprise to ilnd three pretty Louisville young women enter the room. He had presence of mind enough to roll under the sofa, and back into a dark corner, before they threw open the shutters. But, al though he had tucked himself away, he had neglected to hide his clothes, which were thrown across a rocking chair. The girls saw the clothing, but, believing they had been left there accidentally by the lady of the house, thought nothing about them and began a lively chat about the matters of the day. The young man did not mind his imprisonment at first, but grew very nervous as the minutes gradually lengthened into hours, lie stood it for two hours, but at last grew so ex asperated that he thunmed upon the floor, and meekly put his head out from under the sofa - and asked the | young women to leave him until ho put on his clothes. It is needless to Bay that their embarrassment was great, and that none of them men tioned it while in Chicago, but, as the young man has since recovered from the shock, he has been unable to re strain himself from tolling a few friends of his awkward predicament. NOT A STRANGER. His Features Were Familiar to the Long Suffering Bank Clerk, “I s’pose •I’ll have to go and get somebody to identify me before you’ll cash this check,” said the man at the bank cashier’s window, dolefully, “and Pm a stranger in this town. There ain't a soul here that knows me.” “Your name,” replied the cashier, after a moment’s inspection of his caller, “is Ambrose Haybenslaw.” “That’s right!" exclaimed the other in surprise. “How do you know my name?” “You were cured of nervous exhaus tion and kidney disease of eleven years’ standing,” was the reply, “by taking fourteen bottles of Blankham’s Sarsaparilla, price 81 a bottle, sold by all druggists, none genuine with out the name of the manufacturer in raised letters on the bottle,” continued the cashier, raising his voice and speaking with growing irritation; “and a cure guaranteed in all cases where taken according to directions or money cheerfully refunded, hand over your check and be quick about it, 850, all right, here’s your money, and I’ll give you 810 more if you’ll find some way to get the publishers of the Advocate of Gospel Liberty that I’ve been taking for the last twenty-five year3 to quit printing your portrait in their advertising columns. I’ve seen it every week for sixteen months and I’m tired to death of it and if you haven’t uny further business you can take your money and go; good after noon!” Kissed the Wife. A lawyer tells a story of how he got even with a preacher. It was on the occasion of his second marriage. After concluding the ceremony the minister took advantage of the privilege ac corded him by custom of kissing the bride. While so engaged the lawyer suddenly imprinted a resounding kiss on the cheek of the minister's wife, who was standing immediately behind the wedding party. The lady was in dignant and the minister asked for an explanation. Coolly enough, and in a few words, the lawyer expressed the opinion that it was a poor rule that wouldn’t work both ways, and he had as much right to kiss the preacher’s wife as the former had to kiss the bride. Nature’s Butter Factory. Peat diggers at Cavendish, Strad more, Ireland, havo made a remarka ble discovery. At a depth of nearly twenty-five feet they have unearthed a stratum of what appears to be pure butter. The “vein” varies in thick ness from one to seven inches, and is said to be of the consistency of com mon bar soap. Geologists who have visited the locality of this wonderful find say that it is simply a layer of mineral wax, but the workmen still declare that “indade, it’s a bog of butter.” If the stratum proves to be extensive it will probably be utilized in the manufacture of soaps and candles. An Undarsroand Canal. The cities of YVorsley and St Helena, North England, are sixteen miles apart, yet they are connected by the most wonderful canal in the world. A tunnel has been cut through the great vein of coal which underlies the whole of Lancashire, and this, filled with water from the drainage trenches of that great system of mines, makes a remarkable underground canal, in which tho water is constantly five feet deep. This canal is provided with a regular system of coal boats, which are constantly moving thousands of tons of the bitnminous fuel between the two ciiies. . Dijou’s Big Poplar. The citizens of Dijon, France, have just voted a tax for putting a railing around a tree which stands within the city limits. The tree bears a label which informs the sightseer that it is the oldest poplar in France. The town council has a record tracing the history of the tree since the year 7.’2 A. D. It is 123 feet in height and forty-five feet in circumference at the base. Awarded Highest Honors at World Fair. •Dr. most PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Fret Vom Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. Ex-President Harrison, speaking of the introduction of military training in the schools of various states, says: "It is good in every aspect of it—good for the boys, good for the schools and. good for the country. A free, erect, graceful carriage of the body is an acquisition and a delight. It hss a value in com merce as well as in war. Arms and legs are distressing appendages to a boy under observation until he has been taught the use of them in repose. The chin is tuo neighborly with the chest and the eyes find the floor too soon. They need to have the 15 paces marked oil. The sluggish need to be Quickened and the quick taught to stand, the will ful to have no will and all to observe fast. The disputatious need to, learn that there are conditions where debate is inadmissible, the power and beauty there are in a company—moved by one man and as one man. A military drill de velops the whole man: head, chest, arms and legs proportionately, and so promotes symmetry and corrects the ex cesses of other forms of exercise. It teaches quickness of eye and ear, hand and foot; qualifies men to step and act in unison; teaches subordination, and best of all, qualifies a man to serve his country. The flag now generally floats above the school house, and what more appropriate than that the boys should be instructed iu the defense of it? Under our system we shall never have a large standing army, and our strength and safety are in a general dissemination of military knowledge and training among the people. What the man and citizen ought to know in order to the full dis charge of his duty to his country should be imparted to the boy.” Oar Clubbing List.
