Heaton in “Thu Quilting Bee," EGGED ON THE DOCTOR, A Napoleon of Ylninm Meet* HU Water loo In New Hnmpitliire. An itinerant corn doctor took posses sion of the public squaro in Charles town, N. H,, one evening and proceed ed to transact a business which was of land offlco dimensions while it lasted. But ho closed up early. Eggs woro flying at him from all di rections, and ho was a sorry looking sight when be reached the friendly shel ter of tho hotel. He had imposed upon the confidence of tho unsophisticated, and the shower of eggs was their way of expressing thoir righteous indignation. Tho "doctor's” modus operand! was something like this: Ho had a corn salvo that was unequaled and iinap proacbublo in its virtues, llo wished to advertise it and would for 10 cents give a sample of the salvo and a cheek, on the presentation of which later be would givo a present. The “present" end of it caught many who were old enough to know better and several children, hut great was their surprise when on presenting their checks they were handed 15 cents as a present. This was making money very fast. Kueh purchaser had realized 50 per cent on his investment. The doctor had ar ticle No, 3 to advertiso and would also givo a present to every purchaser who would pay 25 cents for a sample. Those who had bought one package of No. 1 took two and three of article No. 2 and wore given checks, as in the previous instanco. Of course they thought this man who gave thorn 15 cents for 10 would certainly give them at least 85 for 25. But he didn’t. He probably thought he had gone the limit, and when the speculators presented their checks they were given a bit of taffy candy by the smiling doc tor, who said, “I told you I would give you a present, and I have done so," and while he continued to give them the laugh they began to see the "joke.” Several of thoso on the outside of the crowd got their beads together and then went to a nearby provision store and in vested all the money they had in eggs, and the less modern they were the more desirable for their purpose. When they returned, the voluble doc tor wus tolling his audience uot to feel bad over the matter. He had, he said, traveled a great deal and had "got it in the neck" himself and never complained. Well, just then he got it in the neck, and in the back, and on the head, and in several other places. There was a perfect shower of eggs. The doctor’s smile vanished, aud he did not stand upon the order of going, but got quickly. Ho made $5 or $6, but ho needed a new suit of clothes.—Bos ton Globe. How a Letter May Be Recalled. The public is not as familiar with its privileges about postal matters as might bo supposed, says tho Boston Transcript. Many times people would like to recall a letter after it has been mailed. This can be done, even if tho letter has reach ed the postoffleo of its destination. At every postoilice there ure what are called "withdrawal blanks.” On application they will bn furnished, and when a de posit is made to cover the expense, the postmuster will telegraph to the post master ut the letter's destination usktng that it be promptly returned. Thu ap plicant first signs this agreement: "It j is hereby agreed that, if the letter is re turned to me, 1 will protect you from i any and all claims made against you | for such return ami will fully iiuUminl : fy you for uny loss you may sustain by reuson of such action. And I herewith deposit 4— to cover all expenses Incur red ami will deliver to you the envel ops of tlie letter returned."

The Diver Felgnol Death That He Might Karape With Ilia Lire. Some years ago, upon tho coast of France, there occurred one of thn-e ro mantic episodes that seem to belong to tho realm of fiction. A vessel had found ered within sight of port—gene down with all her cargo. Two divers were sent to report upon tho causo of tho dis aster and tho prospect of mining (he goods. Olio of these represented tho iu sarunce brokers, who hud instituted the investigation, and the other the cuptaiu and owners of tho vessel. The brokers’ man touched bottom first and found himself on a bod of while sand, lfo was fortunate enough almost immediately to discover tho wreck and ut once climbed tho crags upon which tho vessel rested. Investigation showed him that there had Lrn foul play, for an auger hole was plainly visible ill the hull of tho ship. He had turned to point out his discov ery to the other diver, who was now by his side, when ho folt himself suddenly clutched by tno wuistaud drugged down open the sand. Here his assailant mur derously attempted to break the glass of bis helmet, but the assailed man fought desperately for his life. He firmly believed himself to be in tho clutch of a madman, and for a few minutes tho water was thick with sand that flew up around the combatants. In tho end tho first diver was worsted, and his assailant forced him to lose hold upon his line. Death seemed imminent, but tho div er’s wits did not forsake him. Finding that he was no mutch for his adversary, ho fell back and apparently swooned, and in this condition the other man pre pared to leave him, cut off from com munication with tho upper world. He imvi! the sii/nal to i>o drawn uti. hut al ho began to aseenrl the apparently swoon-1 ing man sprung to his feet and clutched j the rising man’s legs with u firm grip, and tlie two were hauled to the surface together. Then, indeed, the ready witted dlvei fainted in earnest, and before bo regain-! ed consciousness his enemy had escaped , to laud and when captured was attempt ing to leave tho country. At the trial ht explained the reason of his conduct. It was the old story of greed leading to unlawful deed und of the resulting danger inciting tofresh crime—an over insured cargo, a scuttled ship and then a frantic effort on the part of the ship owners to avoid disgrace and punish ment by offering to tho diver u share ol the profits on condition thut tho discov ery, sure to be made by his rival, should never bo hoard of. —Y ontb’s Com pan ion. As to Ballets. A Bridgeport (Conn.) inventor hat patented a “mushrooming bullet. ’’ Tbit is designed to fill a very important waul in modern warfare, the new styled riflt projectile having proved too hurnano. The trouble with the latter is that, hav ing only tho diameter of a lead pencil und traveling with a velocity of half a mile a second, it is apt to pass clean through a man without disabling him. It lacks what is technically called “stop ping power.” The bullet devised by the Bridgeport man has a cavity near the point, which causeB it to “mnshroom” —i. c., spread—on striking, so as ”tc produce a large and lacerated wound, accompanied by great shock.” In time of peace it may be employed for killing lions, tigers and elephants. The very newest thing in this line, however, is the aluminium bullet. Ol courso it is very light, aluminium being only about as heavy as chalk. It is not intended for use in war, but for bunting and shooting at targets. Ordinary bul lets have an excess of forco for sucb purposes, traveling unnecessarily far. Those of aluminium, on tho other hand, have about the same force for short dis tances, but their velooity diminishes __: |_—-1 OAA ntnnll gamo a person fond of shooting may avail himself of tho novel idea of an other inventor, who suggests that tin plate shot would be preferable to the kind now in use. These latter are coat ed with graphite, to blacken and polish them, und this is alleged to bo objec tionable becauso the graphite fonls the gun. Furthermore, the lead is acted upon chemically by the animal juices so us to bo iujurious to the eater of the flesh. This is obviated by the coating of tin.—Boston Transcript. Btlll » ( Iiuiko Fur Jtiiftinriuu The monotonous voice of the truinboy broke in upon the meditutious of the sleepy traveler. “All papers, auy of tho sporting or comic publications, hooks by popular authors”— “Not auy,” drowsily answerer! th*' traveler.
