Stopped'His Train.
Inspector "Williums , of the New
I York police force , who has clubbed
many men In his time , told the other
Cuy of an incident that occurred last
summer , in connection with whichjho1
ncknowledged that he himself shouid
have been theclubbee. Theinspector
liasasummercottageatapluce called
Cos Cob , on the New Haven road ,
where he spends his holidays. He
was going up there one afternoon , '
and at New York , by mistake , got
aboard the express instead of the lo--
cal train that stops at Cos Cob.
The express does not stop until it
reaches Stamford , which is some dis
tance beyond the inspector's destin
ation. Williams did not know the
conductor and could think ofno way
to 'get safely off from an express
train going at the rate of forty miles
an hour , so he made use of his phil
osophy , a large quantitv of which
he always carries with him when he
travels , and he settled down in his
seat intending to take a much need
ed rest ; but the fates were against
his getting the bite of sleep that his
system craved. An inquisitive coun
tryman , who knew little of railroad
traveling , dropped into the seat be
side him , and asked him questions
about the danger of Irunning off the
track , what he reckoned the speed
was , whether he had ever seen Ja cow
"mussed up by the engine. " Will
iams gave the man monosyllabic and
fretful answers , but Mr. Hayseed
kept on talking. " ' 'Forgot to bring
a lunch , " he said , ' 'never needed a
snack as bad. Wisher had a chunk
of pie , or even a ham sandwich.
'Spose no chance to get it on this
I train ? " '
I As the old fellow said this Williams
was gazing out of the window at his
beloved Cos Cob , which the train was
rapid ' approaching , and which he
knew they would swoop pasb | in
about a minute. Suddenly he'gave
a start. His massive sixty-two
ounce brain bumped againstthejroof
his skull and an idea was born.
' • Mister , " he said , turning to the
countryman , "I think you said you
wanted something to eat. I can tell
you how you can get a good square
chicken sandwich. Step right up to
the middle of the car and pull that
clothes line near the | roof yank it
hard a couple of times and the train
boy will bring you the stuff. "
The old fellow started for the bell
rope , and Williams stepped out on
the platform. He said the train
stopped with such an extemporane
ous jerk that he was fired head first
into a pile of sand about [ a hundred
yards from his own gate.
"And how fared it with the old
man ? " I inquired , "and what did
the conductor do ? "
"Don't know. " said the inspector ,
"I am like the old nigaer who said.

Inside of a Whale's Mouth.
The great Greenland whale has no
teeth , its baleen plates , or whale
bone , taking their place. Along the
center of the palate runs a strong
ridge , and on each side of this there
is a wide depression , along which the
plates are inserted. These are long
and flat , hanginglree , and are placed
transversely that is , across the
mouth , with their sides parallel and
near each other. The base and out
er edge of the plates are of solid
whalebone , but the inner edges are
fringed , filling up the interior of the
mouth and acting as a strainer for
the food , which consists of the small
swimming mollusks and medusa ) , or
jelly fishes. This whale rarely if ever ,
swallows anything larger than a
herringshoals of thpse small crea
tures being entangled in the fibers of
baleen , the water which does not
escape from the mouth beingexpelled
by the blow holes. Though the
cavity of this whale's mouth is
large enough to contain a ship's long
boat , the gullet is not larger than a
man's fist. The lower jaw has nei
ther baleen nor teeth , but has large ,
fleshy lips , within which the upper is
received when the mouth is closed.

Sealskins.
The price of sealskins has coim
down wonderfully in the last few
years. A dialogue between two la
dies of this city sheds light on this.
Both ladies wore garments ot seaL
skin , but the elder of the two had a
coat of the vintage of 1S85 , with a
golden brown tinge , while the other's
jacket was jet black , after the pres
ent fashionable dye.
"Why don't you buy a new seal
skin ? " asked the latter.
"I can afford to wear a shabby
sealskin , for when I bought mine ,
sealskin coals cost § 250 , while any
one to-day can buy one for § 7o , "
was the annihilating reply , "and
that's not allowing for the mark
down , either. * ' Pittsburg Dispatch.
How to tell a Saxon from a Celt.
The Celt and the Saxon may be
distinguished bj * the simplest of pru
dential tests. Will the man spend
ten minutes on Monday to mend a
gate , and so save five minutes every
day after ? Or will he spend tlit five '
minutes every day for twenty years , !
because he will not spare the ten
minutes to effect the needed repair ?
In the former case he is a Saxon ; in
the latter , a Celt. Frances Power :

Chained For Fifty Year9.
Jay Hill died a few days ago at his
home , five miles above Trinity college
this state , aged 70 years. He was a
most remarkable character , says a
Charlotte , N. C , special to the Globe-
Democrat. He was born an idiot ,
but since infancy has possessed phy
sical hfrength. to jl rare degree , and
was well formed in every particular ,
with the exception ot his head , which
was so extremely ill-shaped as to give
him more the appearance of a beast
than of a man. When but a child he
was often so violent thnt it was nee.
essary tochain him to the floor. Not
withstanding this unnatural exist
ence , he grew and strengthened day by
day until his chain was not sufficient
to hold him , and two or three times
he broke loose and fled to the woods.
During his brief liberty he was as
violent as a tiger , and it was difficult
to recapture and return him to his
placeof confinement. He was fasten
ed witbstronger bondsand'with the
exception of a few days , he remained
chained to the floor in the same room
for about fifty years. He had an in
satiate desire for tearing to pieces
anything that he could get , and at
times it was impossible to keep him
clothed. Flax was spun 'info coarse ,
strongthreadsand woven into cloth ,
which was doubled and quilted and
made intogarments for him , but with
his teeth and talon-like fingers he
tore them into threads. He has been
known to tear to pieces a solid stick
of hickory wood with nothing but his
teeth and fingers. He ate as raven
ously as a lion , and could drink ,
without the slightest pain , boiling
coffee.
On several occasions members or
the family narrowly escaped being
killed by him. One evening a sister
started to go out of doors. She
passed too near him and he sprang
ab her witli great force , knocked her
through the door into the yaid , so
badly injuring her that it was not
thought possible for her to live. His
father provided for him before his
death , leaving property enough to
maintain a wretched life through all
these j-ears. It was stipulated in the
will that he should not be taken to
an asylum , and that he should be
kept on the old homestead.

Where the Old Ships Go.
A man stepped into one of the ship
ping offices on Front street the oth
er day to have a look at The Mari
time Register. An old sea captain
who had been reading itremarked ,
as the visitor laid tne sheet aside ,
after an apparently fruitless inspec
tion , "Don't find what you were look
ing for , eh ? "
"No , " was the answer. "I was
looking for the B , but she isn 't
listed in this number. "
"Old ship ? "
"Yes. I sailed in her twenty years
ago. "
"Oh , well , then , she belongs to the
Germans by this time. "
"How's that ? "
"Well , the Germans don't build
ships , leastwise not wooden ones , so
much as some other people do. They
buy second hand ships , and they do
most of their buying in America.
The German merchants operate on
smaller capital than ours , and they
can't or won't put as much money
into timber as they do here. They
have a sharp eye for bargains , too ,
let me tell you , and when they find a
tub that's somewise slow or leaky ,
but presentable and cheap , they buy
her , copper bottom her and start her
on her travels again. Lord ! There's
lots of American built ships flyiim ;
the Dutchman's flag at our wharves.
Some Norwegians buy 'em , too , but
it's mostly Germans that got ' em. "
. This throws a light on old ships ,
but the pins , pianos and sewing ma
chines are still to be accounted for.
Hot Water.
The efficacy of hot water in shav-
ing , says the Sun , is more fully ap
preciated by the people of that re-
markabty-ndvanced country , Japan ,
than in the younger civilizations of
the West. Japanese barbers shave
nearly all of the exposed surfaces of
a man's head. They shave the ears
the outside and inside of the nose ,
the eyebrows and a portion of the
scalp. The victim sits on a very low
stool , while the barber perches on a
higher stool and takes his customer's
head between his knees. Then he
seizes a very small razor , dipsit in
to hob water , and begins the work.
It is no light performance to shave
a Japanese gentleman. No lather is
used , but a keen edge is kept con
stant ' on the razor by dipping it
into hot water once or twice during
the operation. Men who shave them
selves will find that hot water will
put a better edge on their razors
tnan any strop ever invented.

A Doomed Explorer.
Undaunted by the fate of Camille
Douls , the young explorer who was
murdered in the Sahara , a M. Fer-
nand Fourecu has now plunged boldly
into the country of the Tonaregs.
He was dissuaded from his enterprise
by his friends and the government of
Algeria , but all to no purpose. The
Geographical society , as well as the
government , gives him nothing but
sympathy , aiid no one believes that
he will come alive out of the mys or-
ious desert 'wh e several of his in
trepid felIowmtrymen have al- :
ready perished. Jaris Letter in Lon
