40 YEARS THE STANDARD.
Lord Fitznoodle, the second cousin
of Lord Dundreary, had; .with his
valet, the estimable James Yellow
plush, come to America and gone West
in the hope of bagging a few grizzly
bean and buffaloes. America and
Americans seemed to the noble lord
“beastly vulgar, donoher know," and
this opinion he frankly told those
Americans whom he favored with his
lordly society. Nevertheless, fate
compelled him to accept as a traveling
companion a rampant American. They
were traveling on horseback across
the prairies, and one day, after a vain
search for the settlement in which
they were to spend the night, they
came to a cross road which boasted
of a charcoal blacksmith’s hut and a
sign post The sign read: “Mugg’s
corner, four miles on the right-hand
road. If you can't read ask the
blacksmith."
Thereat the American laughed long
and loud but the Englishman re
mained silent and pensive.
“I say,my good fellow,” he expostu
lated, “I cawn’t see the joke, doncher
know. What is it?"
"If you don’t see it,” replied the
American, “I shall not tell you. But I
will tell you what I will do. If you
see it before we leave the inn to-mor
row I’ll pay the bills.”
All through the rest of the day and
evening the Englishman remained
silent. He was working the brain of
five centuries of culture. When the
American retired to his straw mat
tress there had as yet dawned no
gleam of intelligence on the English
man’s face. But in the middle of the
night the former was awakened by a
loud knock on his door accompanied
by a hearty laugh. “I say, me good
man,” came the voice, “it is a good
joke, doncher know. Suppose the
blacksmith should be out?”
CURINO CROSS EYES.
This 1* Now Bead 11/ Performed by the
Earl/ Use of Glasses.
Strabismus, or “cross eyes” are now
safely and almost painlessly cor
rected. The desired result may be
obtained by the wearing of proper
spectacles in early youth; but if the
evil is not then corrected, an opera
tion, later on, will be necessary.
The removal of a "cataract” from
the eye is one of the most delicate
operations performed by the oculist
A cateraot is formed by the lens of the
eye becoming opaque, so as to appear
grayish or otherwise, when it shuts
out the light from the optic nerve.
The oculist of to-day outs into the
ball of the eye and removes the dark
ened lens, and the optician supplies
the defect by artificial lenses that
make good the sight
The demand for glass eyes is in
creasing as the character and quality
of the eyes improve. Unsightly eye
balls are now removed in part leav
ing enough of the muscles to rotate
the glass shell that is placed over
them. Where the work is properly
done the possessor of the glass eye
can move it about with all the natur
alness of a real optic, and in many
cases it is very difficult to tell the
manufactured article from the genu
ine.
All the wild stories about substitut
ing rabbits' eyes for human eyes, or
the statements to the effect that
oculists can take eyes from their
sockets, wipe them on a coarse towel
and restore them unimpaired to the
happy patient, are all moonshine, and
any one who is called upon to listen
to any such tales is perfectly justified
if, under such circumstances, he
should wink the other eye.
1 wo Dafinltloni of a Goat Is man.
“It is to be honest, to be gentle, to
be generous, to be breve, to be wise,
and possessed of all these qualities,
to exercise them in the most graceful
manner,” says the great novelist,
Thackeray. A-dlner, who had been im
bibing too freely, became so noisy
that the proprietor directed his re
moval. The waiter who successfully
accomplished this, on returning to
the room, expressed his regret at
having been obliged to put the indi
vidual out. “For,” said be, with etn
phasis, “he’s a perfec’ gentleman;"
adding, after a pause, as if to ex
plain how he arrived at so decided a
conclusion, “he gave me ’alf a
crown.”
froit In Kggs and Apples.
An egg expands when it is frozen,
and breaks its shell. Apples contract
so much that a full barrel will shrink
until the top layer is a foot below the
chine. When the frost is drawn out
the apples assume their normal size
and fill up the barrel again, borne
varieties are not appreciably injured
by being frozen if the frost is drawn
out gradually. Apples will carry
safely in a refrigerator car while the
mercury is registering twenty degrees
below zero. Potatoes, being so largely
composed of water, are easily frozen.

A DOQ’S BURIAL.
Th« ttnan rmnl That Mad* Faria
Talk.
A tale of grief ia related in the
Paris newspapers in connection with
a Mr. and Mrs. W. (only the initial is
given). They were lately staying at
one of the hotels in Paris. Their
dog, a little fellow named Kwik, fell
ill. The most renowned veterinary
of Paris was summoned. He took the
dog in cltarge. Mr. and Mrs. W. paid
four visits dally to the ailing puppy.
But the dog died and an undertaker
was summoned—an undertaker of the
pompes funebres.
ne winces when, being ordered to
take the measure, he finds the mortal
remains of a little dog. But the gen
erous orders given seem to have re
stored him to satisfaction—a coffin of
oak, lined with white satin, an out
side coffin of lead, a mausoleum in the
garden of their country place, &e.
At the last moment the undertaker,
feeling that the proceedings were a
variation from the usual customs, and
--'tiv jcuuiyc a
shock thereby,paidjh visit to the police
commissioner. He asked for a permit
to pass the customs, Ao. The com
missioners had doubts and suggested
that two witnesses be procured to
prove that the double coffin contained
the corpse of a dog.
Finally came the interment. Two
hundred francs bought flowers enough
to serve. Several friends were in
vited to assist at the burial. Three
landaus costing ISO francs, a grilled
vault, a monument costing 1,500
francs, an undertaker’s bill for 450
francs, altogether the bills amounted
to 3,500 francs. The paragraph de
scribing the event closes thus: “Not
only is the dog the friend of man,
man is also the friend of the dog.”
TWO VEGETARIAN DOQS.
Canines at the Ball Persuasion Fond of
Potatoes, turhlps and Cabbage.
Jim Boyes, a San Francisco man
who keeps What it known as the
Golden Shore butcher shop, has two
vegetable-eating bull-dogs, who have
managed to live and thrive on pota
toes, carrots, turnips, cabbage and
other varieties of vegetables, together
with a little fruit occasionally by
way of dessert. Paddy, the male
dog, 6 years of age, has been living
on green goods for about five years,
while Nellie, the mate, has eaten the
fooa since her acquaintance with
Paddy, which is of about two years’
standing. Mr. Boyes recently fed the
dogs in the presence of a reporter.
He threw a big early rose potato
down the sidewalk, and Paddy
reached the prize first, took it in his
mouth, bit it in two pieces and
dropped 'it again. Nellie took the
largest piece an ate every fragment.
Paddy then took the other half and
gulped it down whole.
“He doesn’t care much for potatoes;
but he will eat them if Nellie does,”
said Mr. Iioyes. “You must not
imagine that he broke the potato in
two as an act of chivalry. He proba
bly thought it was a turnip.”
As intimated by Mr. Boyes, Paddy
prefers tfirnips, and always peels
them himself. Mr. Boyes then threw
Paddy a white turnip about the siza
of his fist. The dog caught it in his
mouth, rolled it around a few mo
ments, spit out a handful of peel, and
quietly munched the tender heart
with as much relish as Ward McAllis
ter would dissect a tenderloin. His
mate used the same care while eating*
her turnip, but swallowed the pota
toes, skin and all.

THE BRAIN NEVER SLEEPS. \
It Is Bare, However, That Sermons |
Are Tbns Fashioned. j
The late Rev. C. II. Spurgeon never ]
composed his sermons until late in i
the week. One Saturday night he j
shut himself Into his study, chose his
text, and began to work out his idea.
But the wheels of thought drove so
hard that he strove in vain. The
sermon would not come.
Despairing of success that night,
he retired, but on awakening he waa
confronted with the awful state of
affairs, the gravity of which only
men who have had a similar experi
ence can realize.
Church services were only three or
four hourB’ distant. He had his text,
but not a shadow of a line of thought
was in sight. In his extremity he ap
pealed to his wife to help him out.
"What is your text?” she asked.
He told her, and at once she pro*
ceeded to put the whole thing before*
him—firstly, secondly and so on.
“You’ve hit it exactly!” cried Spur
geon, in astonishment. "Where did
you get it?”
"Why, you sat up in the middle of
the night and went through it your
lelf,” was her reply.
New Imitation Silver.
This alloy has the appearance of
silver, receives and retains a high
polish, does not tarnish, can be rolled,
into sheet or drawn into wire, and is.
cheap to manufacture. It is composed
of copper, nickel, spelter, animony,
tin and lead, and is prepared as fol
lows: Mixture No. 1 is first prepared,
by melting 73 pounds of copper and
adding first twenty pounds of nickel,
and then twelve pounds of spelter,
one pound of antimony and one pound
of tlri. Sixty-four pounds of this
mixture is then melted, and thirty
two ounces of spelter, two pounds of
tin and eight ounces of lead are'
added, thus forming the improved
slloy._
Wholeoulfl Elopement.
At Delnicze. near Flume, on the.
Adriatic, twenty-six girls were car
ried off on horseback in one night,
recently by lovers to whom their'
parents had refused to give them. It.
is not uncommon for Croatian girla
to force consent to their marriage by
an elopement, but an organized raid
like this is unprecedented, and has.
made a sensation, even in Croatia.

KnsasU.
Every one tn tho sleeping ear was
sound asleep when the train stopped
at a water tank,and some one sudden
ly be (ran to snore. In three minutes
everybody but the snorer was wide
awake and growling about it The
porter was routed out and ordored to
stop the disturbance, but after a brief
investigation he reported that tho
offender was a woman, and he did not
dare disturb her. We hoped she
might cease when the train moved on.
but it was a vain hope. High abovo
the rumble of the wheels sounded
her lonely and long-drawn snore, and
at length a woman was prevailed
upon to go to the berth and arouse
her. It was an old lady who had
raised all the row, and she put her
head out and looked around and in
nocently inquired:
“Has any one in this car bin sud
denly tooken sick or anything?"
lou woke everybody up, ma'am,"
replied the porter.
‘‘I did I For tho land's sake, but
how did I do it?"
“You snored, ma'am.”
"Was that all? 01 course, I snored.
I’ve been snorin’ ever sinee I was
married, which was thirty-one years
ago, and yon don't expeck I’ll quit
now, do you?"
“But we can’t sleep if you snore,"
called a passenger.
“Sakes alive, but how pertlckler!
My old man has never lost two winks
of sleep on that account. Wall, of
course, there are folks and folks. I
don’t want to disturb nobody, and

“What is it, ma’am?” asked the por*
ter.
"I want five or six pins to hold In
my mouth. If I was home, I'd use
skirt buttons, but I guess I couldn't
find ’em here. I’ll use the pins. I’ve
tried 'em before, and I know they’ll
stop the snorin’; but I want to tell the
hull passle of you sunthin’ right here
and now: If I swaller them pins, and
anything eums of it, my old man’ll
make every one of you pay in as much

WEAR TROUSERS.
The Costumes of Milkmaids In Prussian
Dairies.
The maids in the great Elbing
dairies in West Prussia have taken to
wearing trousers. This establish
ment is the largest in that oountry,
and employs nearly 300 milkers, all
of whom are females. For years the
management has been experimenting
with different kinds of costumes for
the women, trying to design one that
was warm, useful and becoming at
the same time.
The skirts, were they long or short,
full or narrow, always proved a hin
drance to the work, and often a dan
gerous ornament, too, for once in a
while an enraged cow would take
offense at the frock or else step on it
and upset the milk pail ahd the
milker at the same time. Finally the
management adopted the dairy-maid
costume. Its desing, is after those of
the“advanced”bicycle and fencing cos
tumes for women.
The costume is of blue and white
striped linen for summer wear and of
flannel in similar colors for winter.
The girls wear no corsets and the
modern hygienic principle of combin
ing warmth with the smallest possible
weight in woman’s dress is well ex
emplified. Nothing hinders the free
use of their arms and legs. They may
sit down,rise or bend over their work
without adjusting their clothes and
also without experiencing any dis
comfort. The trousers have a slit
about six inches long above the hips.
The loose-fitting waistband serves to
hold up the stockings by suspenders.
To distinguish between the differ
ent grades of employes the milkmaids
wear white caps, the pupils white
caps with black velvet bands, and the
teachers caps with silver lace, for not
only the employes, but also the appren
tices, among whom are daughters of
well-to-do farmers and ladies of the
landed nobility, must don the new
costume, which is not only becoming
but has prevented the accidents com
mon in a dairy.
A physician of Montpelier was it
the habit of employing a very ingen
ious artifice. When he came to a town
where ha was not known, he pre
tended to have lost his dog, and or
dered the public crier to offer, with
beat of drum, a reward of twenty-five
louis to whomever should bring it to
him. The crier took care to mention
all the titles and academic honors of
the doctor, as well as his place of res
idence. He soon became the talk of
the town. “Do you know," says one,
“that a famous physician has come
here, a very clever fellow? He must
be very rich, for he offers twenty-five
lonis Cor finding his dog.” The dog
was not found, but patients were.
Rapid Movement^ In Insects.
The rapidity with which certain
species of insects move is something
truly astonishing. The common
house fly is known to make 600 strokes
per second with his wings and the
dragon fly 1,600. In the case of the
fly the 600 strokes cause an advance
movement of twenty-seven feet.
These are figures on ordinary flight,
and it is believed that the fly is capa
ble of increasing both the strokes and
advance movement sevenfold.
Free Rides to and From School.
By. a vote of the aldermen of Mal
den, Mass., the children of Linden
will be conveyed to the Maplewood
grammer school ut the expense of

railway has agreed to carry the forty
four pupils the distance of one and
one-half miles for SI a trip, and to
moet this S360 was appropriated.
