Who Did b.it?
In the day when our granduiuthus
rcre girls thero came occariioiially into
the family of a good tleacon with nine
i biMren a village dressmakpr. She hn.
an atorbing interest in other ieoijleK
affairs, and always looked forward with
jiarticnlar jtleasure to the week during
which kIio cut and fitted for tlie deacon's
yirls, knowing that hi.s liouse was i:i
wmie sort a social center, where hho was
I
likely to hear j.leiity of f resh news and 1
entertaining anecdotes.
One day siio arrived late for her work,
and a.4 nlie entered the house caught a
glimpse of the ix daughters already as
sembled in the family sitting rooni with
their gowns and patterns, their work
l;xes and their new roll of "Injy mrs
lin." But none of them were at work, f' r
one was telling the other a etory ot sncl.
absorbing interest that they sa.t brent-
less and siellbouiid, with hands fail i
in their laps or needles suspended in t;.
air.
The sight was too much for the n-v -comer.
With one mitt on and one ol-".
her unfastened pelisse dragging fro:;
her shoulders, her bonnet askew and ir-
loosened strings streaming, she np
jx'ared suddenly among the astonished
girls, crying as the came:
"What? What? What is it? Who did
what?"
She was answered, although giving a
full answer involved the retelling of the
whole storj', but her comprehensive in
quiry became thereafter a family by
word. Among the deacon's descendants to
this day if one shows signs of too great
inquisitiveuess, it is sufficient for any
other member of the family to ask, with
a lift of the eyebrow:
'Who did what?" Youth's Compan
ion. Taking Thackeray Seriously.
The obscurity in which Thackeray
has left the beginning of Newcome,
Bart., is an instance of his forgetfulness
about his people which, glaring as it is,
has hitherto escaped comment. Thomas
Newcome, the elder, is said to have
been "the founder" of the Newcome
family. We are given to understand
that he was a foundling. Up to the
time of his demise there was no New
come, Bart. Mr. Newcome "might
have been made" one, but "he eschewed
blood red hands." As he 6aid, "It
wouldn't do; the Quaker connection
wouldn't like it."
But his twin 6ons by his second wife,
Sophia Alethea Hobson, are stated to
have been called Hobson and Brian, re
spectively, "after their uncle and late
grandfather, whose name and rank they
were destined to perpetuate." The
"rank" is clearly the Newcomo baron
etcy, but equally clearly the uncle and
grandfather must have been Hobsons
the founder of the Newcome family be
ing "himself alone." The twins at firs;
take order as above. Then Brian is de
clared to be the elder "by a quarter of
an hour." He is referred to as "Mr.
Brian." All at once he becomes "Sir
Brian," and "perpetuates" a "rank" to
which, for all that appears, he had no
right whatever. Notes and Queries.
Gold Fillings for False Teeth.
"Funny business, this," remarked a
dentist, turning from his workbench
and addressing the reporter. "What?"
"Filling false teeth. Every now and
then, when we make a set of false teeth,
we are asked to till two or three of the
front ones, so that the gold when the
wearer smiles will shine like a darkey's
heel. This takes away the counterfeit
appearance of the teeth to some extent.
It's a counterfeit upon a counterfeit.
"Persons who have this kind of work
done are willing to pay for it, and as
they always want a good showing of
gold, and are very particular as to the
appearance of the work, we have to
charge well for it. Somehow I don'
like to do it. When we have made the
counterfeit teeth it always seems to in
that the deception has gone far
enough." Indianapolis Journal.
Yankee Thrift.
The Maine man who cannot turn his
hand to another source of profit when
one fails him is a scarce article. An en
graver and carver of old time repute, in
the palmj- days of Maine shipbuilding,
now a resident of Kittery, finding his
occupation gone as a sculptor cf figure
heads for vessels, is engaged in making
idols and graven images for the heathen!
He has a large order that will employ
most of his time for over two years,
from a missionary just returned from
Central Asia to this country. This mis
sionary, by the way, is evidently some
thing of a Yankee himself. Kennebec
Journal.
Johnson's Peculiarities.
Johnson was a eulogist of the metropo

took his daily walk, which, owing to the
series of tasks he made compulsory on
himself, was a really curious perform

touched as he passed it; next it was a
point of honor to step exactly in the
middle of each paving slab, and lastly-,
as he approached his destination, a series
of graduated strides had to le employed
in order to reach the door with one par

(Juer Earthquake Effects.
An old sheep herder who dwells in a '
B4t-luded pot in the Sutter county buttes
made his annual visit to this city
Wednesday, and from him we learn of ;
some phenomenal and interesting cir
cumstances nsa result of the earthquake
uf Tuesday morning.
The lonely camp of the old bhepherd
is far up in the buttes, and is surrounded
with cliiFs densely covered with massive
rocks and lxwlders, which have with
ttood the storms of ages and furnished
mills for the alxjrigines to grind their
acorns and manzunita berries into nour
from the remotest antiquity.
The id herder had just emerged from
his cabin on this memorable morn, and
was gathering kindling with which to
prepare his morning meal liefore turning
his Hock onto the range for their day's
forage, and the wonderful sight he wit
nessed will never be forgotten. When
the trembling liegun numerous sparks of
a bright blue color began issuing from
the rocks, caused by the friction as they
were tossed to and fro by the surging
earth. As the tremors increased the
uumber of sparks did likewise, until at
one time the hillsides appeared as one
sheet of fire with millions of sparks dart
ing here and there as if dancing for joy.
A.s the trembling subsided the sparks
gradually disappeared, and in a moment
all was total darkness.
Shortly after the sun had started on
its journey in the eastern horizon the
attention of the old shepherd was at
tracted by the great branches of trees
which had fallen to the ground, and
those which remained intact seemed to
horrify the wild birds, as they would
attempt to alight, and then, with a
frightened 6cream, would pass rapidly
on, only to repeat the caper at the next
tree. An investigation proved that mil
lions of lizards and snakes had taken
refuge in the trees during their fright
and had become so numerous on the
projecting branches that they were
forced to' succumb to the immense
weight and fell to the ground. This is
the only instance of damage reported in
Yuba or Sutter county. Marysville

A Useful Collector of Coals.
Perhaps the following anecdote may
be useful to readers whose houses and
gardens abut on railways. An eminent
"menagerist" lives in a suburb where
forty trains pass his garden every hour.
The weather was cold, coals were ex
pensive, for the recent strike was just
then at its height. The "menagerist,"
however, was a man of resource; he
conceived a plan for utilizing the forty
trains an hour.
From his menagerie in town he
brought a large Barbary ape, which un
fortunate animal was chained to the top
of a pole at the end of the garden. The
result was as pleasant as owning a col
liery, without any wages to pay or fear
of floods and explosions. Every stoker
and occasionally a driver on every
train that passed had a shot with a
lump of coal at the Barbary ape. The
B. A. was never hit, but the garden was
littered with coal, which the "menager
ist" triumphantly conveyed to his cel
lars. London Tit-Bits.
A Well Traveled Letter.
An old member of a well known Bres
lau institution sent on the 13th of May,
1891, a post card from Cassel, addressed
to "Dr. Emin Pacha, in German East
Africa." The card contained a poetical
allusion to the great traveler, and was
signed by a number of other members
of the institute. It arrived at Zanzibar
on the 14th of June, 1S91, and at Baga
moyo on the lGth of that month. The
post card was then sent back to Dar-es-Salaam,
where it arrived on the 12th of
March of this year, and received the fol
lowing official comment: "Aus dem In
nern zuruck. Emin nicht erreichbar."
(Returned from the interior. Emin not
attainable.) Oil the 5th of May this
same post card found its way back to
Cassel and is now in the hands of the
sender. London News.
More Than a Hundred Fold.
Four years ago Miss Lena Woodard,
living on Thorn creek, Washington,
sowed the seed from one head of
barley. She harvested the crop with
a pair of shears and sowed the amount
received the next j-ear, again har
vesting it with her shears. The third
crop her father cut with a grass
scythe, getting enough barley from this
crop to sow fortj- acres last spring, which
averaged forty busliels to the acre when
thrashed, making a total yield of 1,000
bushels 'from one head of barley in four
years. Exchange.
A Roy's Explosive Pocket.
Elias Mellinger, fifteen years old, was
in his father's quarry in Lancaster, and
put some powder in his pocket, in which
there were matches. The powder was
ignited by one of the matches taking
fire, and in a moment his clothing was
in a blaze. It was 1,000 feet distant to
his father's home, and the boy ran to it.
By the time he reached there his cloth
ing was entirely burned from his body,
and he was badly burned from his head
to his feet. Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph,

Hunter Bridges Bear Average.
Nathaniel S. Bridges, who died re

men in town, having nearly reached the
age of eighty-nine years. Mr. Bridges

number of bears as marked the years of
his life. Bangor News.

Said he: "lam trying to persuade tlio
girl here to stop off in Cheyenne and
marry me, but she wants to go to Colo
rado Springs and see her folks about it
first. This is a genuine romance, ju-a
like a novel. Eight years ago we were
lovers in Vermont and were engaged.
My parents were Irish emigrants and
poor, and her teople were well fixed. It
was agreed that I should start out to
make my fortune, and that she should
wait ten vears for me. She has been
true, and she has waited like an angel.
I worked in the Chicago stock yards,
prospected in Colorado and tried a dozen
things on the coast.
"Six years ago I landed in Hong-Kong.
At first I was clerk in a wholesale Iioum.
then secured my present pi ice. My sal
ary is .",000, and I make something on
the side, as you say in America. All the
time I have thought of the girl and
knew she was single and thinking of
me, though I never heard of her. She
now lives at Colorado Springs and has
been visiting with friends at Helena.
We met in the car at Ogden and recog
nized each other at 'once. It was a
pleasant meeting. Before the train had
gone 100 miles we were engaged again
and will be married at her home right

Natives Disappearing.
From the administrative report of the
Andaman Islands for the past official
year, which has recently been issued in
Calcutta, it appears that the aborigines
of the archipelago are disappearing so
rapidly that Mr. Portman states the
present generation may be considered .as
the last of the great Andaman tribe. All
the people of Rutland Island and Port
Campbell are now dead and very few
remain in the South Andamans. Apart
from the mortality from infectious
diseases, it is said that the few children
who are now born do not survive.
Mr. Portman is endeavoring to keep
the tribe alive as long as possible, and
he is collecting all the children at his
house, where they are well fed and
cared for; but this can only postpone for
a short time the extinction of the race.
For many centuries the people lived
completely isolated from the rest of the
world, but, like the Pacific Islanders,
they seem unable to withstand contact
with external civilization. Galignani's
Messenger.
Kept General Grant's Horses.
Sixty long years, with their sunshine
and shadow, -Jiave passed since Mr.
John T. Price, fhe well known livery
man, first saw the light of day, and all
day Monday he was kept busy receiving
congratulations on his golden jubilee.
Mr. Price was born in Alexandria on
April 11, 1832.
Having been in business at his present
stand for twenty-seven years he is full
of reminiscences of great Americans
who patronized his fliers. Among these
was General Grant, who came in one
day and said: "Price, I want to take a
spin over the road today. Let me have
one of your fastest trotters." When the
general returned he was profuse in his
praise of the horse he had driven, and
said:
"Price, that fellow was chain light
ning itself."
General Grant's Arabian steeds, pre
sented to him by the sultan of Turkey,
were placed in Mr. Price's care when
they first came here. Washington Post.
The Dog Knew Where to Jnmp.
A very knowing dog got into the train
which was coming clown from up river,
at Great Works, recently. The train
started up and the clog still staid
aboard. The train began to move faster
and faster, until it was going at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The dog did
not dare to jump. The animal got out
on the lowest step. At last the train
reached a swamp. He then gave a
tremendous leap and landed in safety in
the soft mud and water. The dog was
uninjured and ran back. Bangor News.
The Turtle Seed Tree.
Among a collection of curious plants
recently received at the Kew Gardens,
England, is a specimen of a curious tree
from the Solomon islands. It is believed
to be a new genus of the order of Sapo
tacea?, to which the sapodiller of Florida
belongs. The tree is known to the na
tives of the Solomon islands as the "tur
tle seed tree," on account of the close
resemblance which the seeds bear to a
turtle. London Letter. ,
