she is known 'to all acquaintances, is
the youngest child of Adam Poe. She
was born July 15, 1791, in Washington
county,' Pennsylvania. At the age of 18
she was married, to Adam Cuffle. His
death occurred seventeen years ago.

residence is a homestead left her by her
husband, and the house being too large
for her alone, a family occupies one
8 art, although she lives apart from them.
Ler father, Adam Poe, whose life has
been chronicled by different historians,
and who occupies a conspicuous position
irf the bonier strife of the -Buckeye state,
resided .in Wooster in 1813. and worked
at shoemaking. Mrs. Cuffle relates the
following in regard to his death: A
political meeting was in progress in
Massillon. Tho large crowd being in
formed that Adam Poe, the slayer of
Bigfoot, the celebrated Indian chieftain
resided in the, vicinity. 'sent a delega
tion after him. i , He wasT. brought and
carried on' the1 shoulders of the admir
ing throng. Although past 90 years of
age he enjoyed the sport, but several
days after he became prostrated and
died scon after. Airs. Cuffle resided at
Congress at the time, and hearing of
her father's illness she mounted a horse
and rode through the night to her father,
reaching his bedside just before he died.
She was then 47 years of age. In speak
ing of the conflict with Bigfoot she
states that her father's account of the
fight differs from the account given by,
historians, who wrote that hor father,
Adam Poe, had the encounter with Big
foot, when she says that her father al
ways told that his brother, Andrew Poe,
baa tEe! hand-to-hand fight with the
Indfan'chicf, while he. Adam, shot and
killed the Indian. Her recital of her
father's account is as follows: "A body
of seven Wyandots made a raid upon a
white settlement on tho Ohio river, near
Fort Pitt, and killed an old man who
was alone in a cabin. The news of the
murder soon spread, and my father and
uncle Andrew, with some neighbors,
set out to capture and punish the mur
derers. They followed the Indians all
night, and next morning found a trail
leading to tho river. My uncle Andrew
did not go directly to the river, but left
father and the others and went through
the thicket. He stole down to the bank
and discovered Bigfoot and a little In
dian with guns ready waiting for the
pursuing party. Uncle Andrew con
cluded to shoot Bigfoot and raised his
gun and pulled the trigger. The gun
only snapped and dill uot discharge.
The suuppmg attracted the attention of
the Indians and the discovered Andrew,
who saw it was too late forhiui to run,
so he sprang toward (he Indians. He
caught them both and threw them down.
The little Indian got loose and drew his
tomahawk to kill Andrew, who kicked
backward and knocked the tomahawk
from tho little Indian's hand. Mean
while Andrew was holding Bigfoot He
finally released himself and, seizing a
gun belonging to the Indians, shot the
Tittle Indian. Bigfoot again grabbed
Andrew and they rolled into the water,
and Andrew got Bigfoot's head under
water, and supposing the Indian was
drowned, he released his hold. His
supposition was not correct and they
both started for shore, Uigfoot reached
the shore first and picked up the gun
with which Andrew had shot the littlo
Indian. At this time my father appear
ed on the scene, attracted there by the
report of the gun. His gun happened
to be empty, and both he and Bigfoot
started on a race to load. In his hurry
Bigfoot jerked his ramrod out too far,
and it fell out of his hand. My father
loaded first and shot Bigfoot just as the
Indian 'was raising his gun. Seeing
Andrew in the water my father looked
after him, and found that he bad been
wounded in tho wrist by the little In
dian's tomahawk. Andrew called to
father that he could help himself, bnt
father was anxious for his safety and
went to his assistance, while Bigfoot,. in
his dying struggles, rolled into the river,
and, his body was carried off by the cur
rent The remainder of the pursuing
8 arty came up, and seeing Andrew in
le water took him for an Indian and
shot-hint in the shoulder, but he soon
recovered. The other Indians were
overtaken and killed, and in that fight
my father was wounded.

The Romance of a Nickel.
A romantic courtship begun in Balti

Bowers, now a merchant in Richmond,
but at tho time this love story opens a
resident of this city. One afternoon
last June Mr. Bowers boarded an up
town Madison avenue car, and was soon
deeply interested in an afternoon paper.
Presently a handsome young lady enter
ed and took a scat beside him. He
glanced at the new and pretty passen

and figure beside him he noticed the
youngiady draw her hand from her
etcket ana a blush mantle her cheek,
o saw that she had forgotten her
purse, and as she was in the act of sig
naling the conductor to stop the car he
politely, asked her if he could bo of any
service. The flush again rose to her
cheek, and her embarrassment increased
when she informed Mr. Bowers of her
situation.
'But permit me to pay your fare," re
quested the gentleman.
"If you will eivo me your card so thai
I caa return the money I'will'consent,"
she replied. t
The conductor came1 along and Mr.
Bowers dropped tho additional nickel
in his hand.
"I am ever so much obliged." said the
pretty miss. "Now, will you give me

drag had passed through Central Park
ana started down Fifth avenue. Then
the Tantivy's glory departed. Tho guard
blew oneTnerry blast and fellback on ,
his 'perch horrified. J J. R. Roosevelt
who was proudly handling the lines,
blushed a little as he heard the shouts
of laughter which took the place of
the plaudits which should have greeted
the party. Tho ladies laughed irrcver
erentlv. So did some of their escorts.
Everyone on the avenue joined iu the
laughter, which made the finish of the
Tantivy's first trip rather farcial. Ed
ward G. Gilmore, the manager of Nib
lo's Garden, and a notorious practical
joker, was at the bottom of the scheme
which made Fifth avenue roar, and led
all the dudes wjjo had gathered at the
Brunswick to look upon him as little
'short of-sacrilegious.
Trotting behind the swell Tantivy on
its course down the avenue were two
mules mules with extraordinary cars;
mules closely clipped and with shitting
coats; mules meek and lowly, but array
ed in heavily-plated harness, and hitch
ed in the most improved four-in-hand
fashion to a most thoroughly -English
break. "Ned" Gilmore held the lines,
and flourished a most gorgeously deco
rated coachman's whip. Two colored
grooms had seats of honor behind him,
af Gilmore' had as his only passenger
WV--H.,5;R1pleyt--of Chicago, who had
ficked up the team of mules out in
ennsylvania for aqueduct contractor
W. R. Howard, who is to use them as a
fancy team at his country residence
this summer. Gilmore looked proud as
he drove, and Ripley looked as if he
would rather be on the sidewalk. Be
ing a party to such a practical joke
didn't appear to be wholly to his taste.
But he had to grin and bear it and
Gilmore had to explain to him that it
wasn't his fault that the Tantivy should
get ahead of him and keep directly in
his way until the Brunswick was reach
ed. Ripley is still a trifle sceptical re
garding that explanation.
"Why don't you get horses, Ned?"
shouted an irreverent broker standing
in front of the Windsor.
"Ten to five you can't pass the swell
bus," cried another, who had not that
respect for coaching that every well
regulated Fifth avenue frequenter is ex
pected to have.
Gilmore paid no attention to these
rude people, but drove on, modestly ac
cepting the applause bestowed. "He
seemed at home in his triumphal pro
cession and perfectly happy.
Tho Tantivy drove up to the Bruns
wick at precisely 5:30. The grooms
sprang out and led the horses in fronj
of the main entrance. An instant later
four mules halted in the rear, with their
colored grooms at their heads. Tho
Anglo-maniacs wondered. The Ameri
can 'contingent enjoyed the burlesque
immensely. The coaching party sought
the Seclusion of the Brunswick parlors
as quickly as they could gracefully do
so. So did Gilmore and his friends, but
the parlor they found had a long bar
and a free lunch in it
"The only thing I regret about my
first coachinr trip this season," explain
ed Gilmore, as he wiped his lips, "is
that it didu't take place last week. If
the season had only opened then I could
have had a party of 'The Black Crook'
chorus girls as passengers, and thou I
could have knocked out anything on
the avenue for style."

GRASSHOPPER MUSICIANS.
I am never weary of renewing my
acquaintance with these quaint little
meadow musicians, as I stroll afield,
these "high-elbowed grigs that leap in
summer grass." The weedy pasture or
neglected fallow is their paradise. Amid
all their intense vibratory I can gener
ally catch a certain familiar strain, and
follow it to tho end tsip, tsip, tsip,
tsip, tsee-e-e-e-e. It emanates apparent
ly a rod or so in advance of me. I ap
proach stealthily, starting up the in
evitable swarms of flying locusts that
pitch wtih headlong momentum into the
auivering herbage on right and left
'hey certainly would break their pre
cious necks were they not so re-enforced
by that stiff protecting collar an armor
in which those close-fitting, ram-shaped
heads revolve as in a socket joint The
song now rises again amid the din of
thousands which might be its echo, still
apparently some distance in advance of
me, thus with a certain alluring quality
decoying me on aud on, until at last the
one particular strain on which my at
tention has been focussed is positively
approached, and seems now to rise
directly from my feet Seating myself
cautiously, I await developments.
A branch of bramble bends in the
breeze and sways against my face, and
as I look up beneath the foliage my eye
is arrested by a small but sharply de
fined shadow plainly transmitted
through tho sunlit leaf close by a
shadow rendered all the more sug
gestive by the projecting tips of the
two slender antenna; exploring so gin
gerly out beyond. "Zip, zip, zip, zip,
ze-e-c-e-e-e." The gauzy minstrel has
endured the limit of his silence, and
now again takes up his strain, and is
almost immediately answered from nu
merous mysterious sources on every
side. But he has evidently caught a
glimpse of my unguarded movement
for the "high-elbowed grig" kicks off
suddenly from his percu and pitches
haphazard into space, alighting upon
a swaying stem of timothy-grass, and
at length straddling with an air of
comical solemnity upon a spray of cap
sella, where he seems to gam confi
dence, and permits a full view of him
self. This is the common diurnal
meadow grasshopper (Orchelimum vul
gare). Ho is a pellucid green creature,
with the outline of his body readily
seen through the filmy wings. lie is
about an inch iu length, and the long
legs suggest the fragile consistency of
flass, and one involuntarily wonders
ow these slender members could have
survived intact such reckless gymnas
tics as they are continually called upon
to sustain as well as instigate. Turn
ing upon his perch, ho brings to view
his "glassichord," or shrilling organ,
upon his back a glass-like spot upon
his wings just behind the thorax, or
what might appear to tho facetiously
inclined as an exceedingly uncomfortable-looking
collar. Even as we take
our first glimpse of this diminutive,
filmy taboret a strange tremor seems
to havo taken possession of the insect
the edges of the wings seem blurred
and indistinct in the, rapid vibratory
movement, and then follow a few quick,
convulsive efforts,- resulting in the
stridulous strain, already described, and
whose multitudinous repetition on every
hand so saturates the quivering ether.
For this is perhaps the most omnipresent
meadow sound of the New England
summer noon; certainly the most
prominent And yet singularly enough,
few of our entomologists seem to have
discovered the fact even associating
the song with "evening gloom" and
"shady places" conditions under which
my minstrel is comparatively silent
On a cloudy day, indeed, our fields
emulate the downs of Britain, and are
almost still, our present musician
among the rest He is a "lover of the
sun,1 and revels in midsummer tropio
heats.
There is another mysterious dweller
in the sunny meadow, who claims our
recognition in positive and rasping ac
cents, "tsip, tsip, tsip, tsip," a continu
ous, rapid, exasperating stridulation, a
reiterated noisy parody, simulating the
prelude of the meadow grasshopper al-
ready described, always foreshadowing j

the "cone-headed grasshopper" (Cono
cephalus ensiger), and may be fittingly
called the clown of all this'heyday.
With what an air of solemn mock-
gravity he straddles around among the
herbage, keeping you ever in the field
of his view, with the jet-black pupil of
the one white eye turned in your direc
tion! It matters not what his position,

outburst which for the time being dis

Now he confronts you, "bows on,"

prows of ocean craft? Yes; and look!
now the machinery begius to work, you
can almost hear the propeller as the
hulk begins to sway and tremble, and
the spinning engine lets off its noisy
calliope, as already described. For it
is a fact that in no other grasshopper is
the sound of the shrilling mechanism
so plainly perceptible beneath its song,
a suggestion of axles, cogs, and cams,
all the worse for wear. All through
this mimetic exhibition our clown has
been accomplishing the feat of looking
cross-eyed over the back of his head.
He would seem to afford a perfect

an exaggerated embodiment of
the simile of Cicero that "the eyes are
liko sentinels, and occupy the highest
place in the body." Nothing escapes
the sentry of this "watch-tower, it is cer

his elbowed thigh almost to a cor

will presently work the shank of tho

bringing his jointed toes between his
fore-feet After repeating the exercise
with the other leg, he next lifts his fore
foot and pulls down his long tapering
autenmu into his crimson mouth, draw
ing them through his palpi or teeth,
with tho two loops gradually enlarging
iu front of his face. This is his magic
act, for how else could those exquisitely
fragile members escape unharmed the

takes a sudden notion to skip. W.J.

THE LIFEBOAT IN SERVICE.
A Sketch or the Work Ferformed oa the
English Coast.
Wo will imagine the watch set and
all the other good. Caister folk in bed.
The night wears away, until as day be
gins to break a longer look than ordi
nary is taken through the glass aud a
discussion of bearings, etc., ensues, with
the result that a vessel is descried' fast
aground on the Cross Sand with a heavy
sea breaking over her.
Out dash the men on to the staging.
One lays hold of the cord attached to
the clapper of the bell and the other
rushes at breakneck pace down the
steps and up the gap, shouting and ham
mering at the doors as he goes. Then
breaks out a Babel of sounds. Men rush
from every door and side road, some of
them with their trousers on. pulling on
their shirts as they run, stumbling in the
dark, through the heavy sand, but all
making for one point the shed. There,
hung up to the rails at the roof, are their
oilers, sou'westers. and boat stockings;
under the benches their big sea boots.
In a twinkling the men have donned
their seagear, and are making a bee-line
across the sands for the life boat The
surf is smashing on the beach in tons,
and the wind is howling across the beach
and up the gap, bringing with it clouds
of sand until the air seems almost solid
with it The red tanned lugsails are car
ried down and placed in the boat ready
for 'hoisting, and the skids laid down
forward of the boat; the logs which kept
the boat on an even keel are taken away
and replaced by the broad backs of the
sturdy beachmeu, amid shouts of "Hold
her up;" the hauling off warp, which is
anchored out to seaward, is taken in
over the pulley in the bow, and the boat
begins to move on her porpoise-oiled
skids. As she goes oyer and clears the
ono at her stern it is caught up by the
side handles by two beachmen and
taken to her bows, and placed in line
ready to pick her up again as she comes
steadily on down the sand. Then the
men tumble on board and haul at the
warp. The remaining men keep her
moving over her skids until she dashes
her bows into a mass of water just break
ing and thundering on the beach, and,
shipping tons of it and giving her crew
the first smother of many they will have
before they return, she moves slowly on.
Another breaker catches her ere she has
fairly gathered way and sho looks al
most like coming back, but the beach
men on shore have had tho sett ready.
They ship it on to the stern and shove
her off into the smother. Up goes tho
foresail with a run; up goes the mizzen,
and the boat thrashes through tho
broken water; overboard goes the haul-ing-off
warp aud she is clear of the
beach aud lighting her way through the
heavy seas to the wreck; sea after sea
breaks over her until they can see noth
ing of that boat only feel it under their
feet hang like grim death to the ridge
ropes and tike a breath when the sea
gives them a chance.
Over the Barber they thrash, then
over the Scroby. They have to make a
long leg to fetch the wreck, and as they
rise on a wave they can sometimes
make her out dimly with seas spouting
fountains over her. She is a small
schooner, and her crew two men and
two wretched, half-starved looking boys
and an equally wretched-looking mon
grel cur are huddled together in the
weather shrouds of the foremast; the
mizzenmast has already gone over the
side. The lifeboat -fights her way to
windward, then anchors, and lowering
her lugs veers down' to the wreck, drops
alongside and takes in the poor half
drqwned .wretches and their poor dog,
hauls back to the anchor, then up sail
and away to the beach, where the rest
of the company is awaiting them. En

A little while ago I stood by the grave
of the.oW.Napoleon-r-a. magnificent
tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a
dead deity and "gazed upon "the sar
cophagus of black Egyptian marble,
where rest at last the ashes of that rest
less man. I leaned over the balustrade
and thought of the career of the great
est soldier of the modern world. Isaw
him walking upon the banks of the
8A contemplating suicide. I saw him
putting down the mob in the streets of
Pans; I saw him at the head of the
army of Italy; 1 saw him crossing the
bridge f Lodi, with the tri-color in his
hand; I saw him in Egypt in the shadows
of the pyramids; I'saw him conquer the
Alps and mingle the eagles of Frauce
with the eagles of the crags. I saw him at
Marengo, at Ulm and Austerlitz; I saw
him in Russia, where the infantry of
the snow and the cavalry of the wild
blast scattered his legions like winter's
withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsio
in defeat and disaster driven by a
million bayonets back upon Paris,
clutched like a wild beast, banished to
Elba. I saw him escape and retake an
empire by the force of his genius. I
saw him upon the frightful field of
Waterloo, where chance and fate com
bined to wreck the fortunes of their
former king; and I saw him at St
Helena, with his hands crossed behind
him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn
sea. 'I thought of the orphans and
widows he had made, of the tears that
had been shed for his glory, and of the
only woman who ever loved him, poshed
from his heart by tho cold hand of am
bition. Anb! I said I would rather have
been a French peasant, and worn wood
en shoes. I would rather have lived in a
hut with a vine growing ovor the door
and the grapes growing purple in the
kisses of the autumn sun. I would
rather have been that poor peasant with
my loving wife by my side, knitting as
the sun died out of the sky, with my
children upon my knees and their arms
about me; I would rather have been
that man and gone down into tho
tongueless silence of tho dreamless
dust than to have been that imperial
impersonator of force and murder
known as Napoleon the Great And so
I would, ten thousand times.
Beauties of Mexican Taxation.
So much for the tariff system of Mexi
co. The "excise" or "internal revenue"
system of tho country is no less extra
ordinary. It is essentially a tax on
sales, collected in great part through
the agency of stamps a .repetition of
the old "alcavala" tax of Spain, which
Adam Smith, in his "Wealth of Na
tions," describes as one of the worst
forms of taxation that could be inflicted
upon a coqntry, and as largely re
sponsible for the decay of Spanish man
ufactures and agriculture. Thus the
Mexican law, re-enacted January, 1885,
imposes a tax of "one-half of one per
cent upon the value in excess of $20 of
transactions of buying or selling of
every kind of merchandise, whether at
wholesale or retail, in whatever place
throughout the whole republic." Also,
one-half of one cent "on all sales and
resales of country or city property; upon
all exchanges of movable or immovable
property; on mortgages, transfers, or
gifts, collateral or Iwqueathed inherit
ances; on bonds, rents of farms, when
the rent exceeds $2,000 annually; and
on all contracts with the Federal, State,
or municipal governments." Every in
habitant of the republic who sells goods
to the value of over $20 must give to
the buyer "an invoice, note, or other
document accrediting the purchase,"
and affix to the same, and cancel, a
stamp corresponding to the value of the
sale. Sales at retail are exempt from
this tax; aud retail sales are defined to
be "sales made with a single buyer,
whose value does not exceed $20. The
reunion, in a single invoice, of various
parcels, every one of which does not
amount to $20, but which in the aggre
gate exceed that quantity," remains
subject to the tax. Retail sales in the
public markets, or by ambulatory sell
ers, or licensed establishments, whose
capital does not exceed $300, are also
exempt Tickets of all descriptions
railroad, theater, eta must have a
stamp, as must each page of the reports
of meetings; each leaf of a merchant's
ledger, day or cash book, and every
cigar sold singly, which must be de
livered to the buyer in a stamped wrap
per. Sales of spirits at wholesale pay
three per cent; gross receipts of city
railroads, four per cent; public amuse
ments, two per cent upon the amount
paid for entrance; playing-cards, fifty
per cent paid in stamps on the retail
price; ana manufactured tobacco a
variety of taxes, proportioned to quality
and value. Mercantile drafts aro taxed
at $10 per $1,000, which means a dollar
on every hundred. Hon. David A.
Wells, in Popular Science Monthly.

Tact.
"You talk of tact!" said the short
hand reporter. "I remember a case of
tact that was as pretty as anything I
can imagine. It was at the house of a
governor of a western state. His wife
was one of the most refined and charm
ing women I ever knew, and she was
just 'chock full' of tact The governor
had to giye receptions to influential
men in the state, and you oan fancy
thatsomoof them were very uncouth
and uneducated. One evening there
was a large dinner party, and a rather
rough old cove, a wealthy and import
ant man. was tho chief guest Thedin
ner went along very nicely. Beyond
making a few rather gauche remarks,
the old western fellow behaved protty
well But when the finger-bowls were
put on the table he was rather knocked
over, and like many other heroes of
such stories he took his up and drank
out of it Nobody happened to see him
except the hostess, and quick as a wink
she signaled to tho servants. They re
moved every finger-bowl before anybody
could touch them, and the old fellow
doesn't know to-day, if he's living, what
a mistake he made. Now that's tact!"
"That you call tact!" said an Irish
man, sitting opposite- the stenographer.
"I can beat that myselt I got out of a
scrape the othor night at the Baldwin
theater. 1 bad a seat in the middle of
a row, and there was a mighty pretty
woman I had to pass to get there. I
was squeezing my way along, and I
could n t help casting a squint at her as
I went While I was doing that 1 trod
on her toe and she gave a little scream.
The fellow with her looked as if he was
going to lick me.
"I beg your pardon, madame,' I
said politely. 'I could not judging by

Just Like Many Older People.
A boy brought his teacher some very
beautiful and sweet-smelling spring
flowers the other morning,- for which
she thanked him very kindly as she
E laced them in a tumbler of water upon
er desk. In the course of the morning
the youthful giver held up his hand and
said: "Please, marm, can (wet my
sponge?" "No," said the teacher; "not
just now." The boy, however, was per
sistent He apparently thought he was
entitled to some special favor, and he
repeated his request in a loud tone. The
teacher, however, said "nay" the second
time more decidedly than the first, and
at this the petitioner gave vent to his
anger as follows: "Say, teacher, yon
know the flowers I brought you just now;
I only lent 'em to you; I didn't give 'em

A mouthful of hm! te.jih is one of
the rare gifts of nature. Liki bright
eyes, piuk-mooned finger-nails, or a tine
complexion, they indicate the bequests
of heredity, nud'are symbolic of a sweet
breath, guod digestion, and a whole
some stomach. A wealth of dentine is
not as highly pnzed as formerly owing
to the remarkable progress made in
dentistry within the Uvt quarter of a
century! Molar-makers think nothing
of working a chev.nl-de-fri.xe sort of a
set of teeth into a double row of most
presentable ivories, and the skill with
which china teeth are made to dupli
cate nature is .ufticient to keep the
genuine articles under a constant ban
of suspicion. All these facts were
doubtless known to the fashionable
mother, who prayed for "just good eyes
and a fine complexion" for her little
daughter. Eyes aud skin from nature,
and art can man ago tho rest at least
to the satisfaction of the modern beau
ty. In remodeling teeth, everything fails
before the final surreudcr to a false set
Where the overlap space has to be made
at the sacrifice often of good material,
and where by accident, a tooth is want
ed, the gap is filled by spacing the
whole row.
Iu the color of teeth almost as much
variety exists as in hair and eyes.
Some teeth are naturally grey, yellow,
or bluish in cat and to try to whiten
them is time wasted. The only solace
lies in keeping them clean and straight.
It is inmaterial to anyone with a mus
tache or a very long upper lip, whether
he has any front teeth or not With
ladies or beardless men. especially those
who laugh much with the lips, a rem
edy is sought among the Del s'Arte
people. These refiners of nature at
tempt and with success too. to culti
vate a very low voice iu speaking, for
bid the license of heated discussion, aud
endeavor to cultivate a laugh iu the
eyes, rather than about the lips. The
training is a long and severe task, but
there aro few .ordeals too severe for a
fashionable man or woman to eudure,
when the goal is good looks.
It is almost impo-wible to say any
thing new on the subject of powders.
The best powder is the one that docs
the least harm to the gums aud keeps
the enamel clean. Wintergreen Ls as
safe as any polish, but a frequent uso
of soft brush aud warm water renders
much of that cleansing powder super
fluous. Teeth that are brushed four
times a day will not need a powder
more than once a week. Toothpicks
are indispensable, and even with them
it is often necessary to run a throad be
tween the teeth to remove any possible
accumulation or splinter.
There might be a diminution of den
tistry bills if tliov! who had teeth would
take the trouble to clean them once a
mouth. Five ceuLV worth of ptimice
stone will cover u year, and nothing'
but a match is ueedi-d to start with.
Dip the pine in tiie stone and rub about
aud between the teeth till all trace of
mineral accumuiatioii iiat been removed.
The inside Mirfaee imut be cleaned
separately, and the ta-k lini.ihed by
rubbing the face and crown of the tooth
with a sort handkerchief di'iped in the

effects.
British Agriculture.
It seems now to be settled that under
existing conditions it d,.c.s not pay to
grow grain or rates cattle in tho best
fiart ot the Continent and the British
sles. For this curious and alarming
state of things the world is indebted to
the extension of steam navigation to all
parts of the earth. Wheat, barley, oats,
etc.. can be grown on almost any arable
land. It follows that wherever the
factors are most favorable that region
gets tho benciit of this cheap access to
the consuming market. A fow years
ago India contributed but 1)0.000 bushels
of wheut to countries outside of the pen
insula. Its export supnlv is now about
50,000.000 bushels, ami with the exten
sion of the railway system it will have
fully 100,000.000 for outside consump
tion. The secret of India's ability to sell in
distant markets is the extraordinary
cheapness of labor, which does not com
mand more than 10 cents a day of our
monev. The United States. Australia,
and New Zealand can produce wheat
and lay it down in Liverpool at a price
which is simply ruinous to the English
and European wheat-grower. This is
because of cheaper and more fertile
lands and the uso of machinery on the
broad prairies and plains, which dis
penses with costly labor. Recent statis
tics show that tenant farmers in the
British Islands who confine themselves
to cereals and cattle-raising cannot
make both ends meet if the undertake
to pay their rent This accounts for the
distress umong the agricultural classes
in the Old World, and more especially
for the abject misery of the Irish people,
who have no diversified industries, be
cause the island is without coal or iron,
and British laws discourago manufact
ures of any kind in that unhappy coun
try. This inability to raise grain is effect
ing a social revolution. It has struck a
fatal blow at the authority and prestige
of the Peers, who arc the great land
owners, and it will end in agricultural
laud being transferred to the peasants
in England and Scotland as well as Ire
land. These agricultural workers, hav
ing no rents to pay, will be ablo to
make a living out of the soil, for they
can raise perishable vegetables, poultry,
eggs, and dairy products, as these are
safe from foreign competition. In the
meantime the cities of Europe are grow
ing rapidly, and aro yearly consuming
more and more, uot only of tho grain
and cattle raised in distant regions, but
also of the vegetables, poultry, fruit
and dairy products of near-by produc
tion. This explanation of the agricult
ural situatiou throws a good deal of
light upon tho political and social
changes now taking place in the Old
World. Demurest1 s Monthly.
Two Peculiar Gate.
A Newark hardware dealer has two
female eats whicli have heretofore
evinced a strong hatred for each other,
but now are on the most friendly terms.
They patehed up a peace ou Sunday
night after a very noisy light in the
cellar, where each old cat had a litter
of kittens in separate nests lined with
hay. The owner of the eats beard the
battle raging until' midnight, and con
fidently expected to fiuil in the morning
that it had been a war of extermina
tion. He went down-stairs early to
gather up the slain, and to his intense
surprise found the two old cats com
fortably curled up together in one of the
nests, while both families of kittens oc
cupied the other. A few hours later the
old cats concluded to move their fami
lies tip-stairs. They succeeded very
well until the last kitten's turn came.
It was the most robust in the lot, and
the tired mother failed in her trial to
carry it op the fourth step.
A plaintive mew brought the other
cat to her assistance. Taking the kit
ten by one of its hind legs, she helped
the mother to carry it up the steps. On
reaching the top the grateful mother
showed her gratitude by licking the
other old cat's coat, and then bestowed
the same attention on the kitten. Jf.

-'Under-the 'above title. In the August
Ceulury, Chariest G. Leland writes of
Charlotte Cooper, one. of the oldest and
most famous of the Romanies:
'"Fifty or sixty years ago the gypsies
in Eu gland were a much more remark-1
able race than they are at present
The railway had not come to break up
their habits, there' were' hundreds of
louely places iu dell and' dingle where
they could hitch the tan, or pitch the!
tent their "blood had been little mixed
with that of the U'orgio, or Gentile;
they spoke their language with greater
purity than at 'present, and still kept
their old characteristics jmchanged. If
they. had the faults of the Arabs, they
had also niauy of their good qualities.
If they stole horses and- foraged on
farmers, if their women told fortunes,
lied, and sometimes' cheated a. man out
of all his ready money by pretending to '
find a treasure in his cellar, on the
other haud they" were extremely grate
ful and honest to thoso who befriended
them, and manifested in many ways a
rough manliuess which partially re
deemed their petty vices. They were
all, as are many of their sons at present
indomitable Tough riders,' of the
horse horsey.' andto a man boxers, so
that many of them were distinguished
in the prize-ring, the last of these being
JenrMacc. At this time there prevail
ed among the English Romany a strong
mutual faith, a tribal honesty, which
was limited, but all the stronger for
that even as the arms of a man grow
stronger when he loses the use of his
legs. Thoy were a people of powerful
frames, passions, and traditional princi-
ries. Their weak children soon died
torn the hardships of nomadic life, the
remainder illustrated selection by. suf
fering, and the survival of the fittest
to fight
"With such characteristics there could
not fail among the gypsies many strik
ing instances of warm friendship, in
tense love, and the fidelity which en
dures even till death. This was known
of them when little else was known
beyond their most apparent and repul
sive traits. Walter Scott indulged in
no romantic license whon he depicted
Hayraddin Mangrabin as devoted to
Quentin Durward; even at present the
incident of a thoughtful gift or any like
act of kindness to them will be remem
bered with a gratitude out of all propor
tion to its value, and go the rounds of
all the Romany in the United. States.
And therefore when men fell in love
with women there often resulted those
instauces of intense passion and steady
faith, which at the present day are real
ly becoming mythical The gypsy in
this, as in everything else, has been a
continuation of the middle ages, or of
the romance'era.
"Such a passion was inspired more
than half a century ago by Jack Cooper,
the Kurumengro Horn, or Fighting
Gypsy, in a girl of his own tribe. Her
name was Charlotte Lee, and it was
about 1830 that Leslie, the Royal Aca
demican, led by tho fame of her beau
ty, painted the picture, now in New
York in the possession of his sister.
Miss Emma Leslie, from which the en
graving here given was taken. The
fame of her charms still survives among
her people, and when a few days ago as
I write, I was talking of Charlotte to
some gypsies of her kin near Philadel
phia, Iwas asked if I meant the Rinke
ni; that is, the Beautiful one."
A Royal Printer.
It is not generally known that Prince
Ludwig of Batten berg, son of Prince
Alexander of Hesse, is a practical print
er. Like most of the princc3 of the
Prussian royal house, who have been
taught either an art or a trade, Prince
Luuwig of Battenberg was early called
upon to choose a calling, and his choice
fell upon the ait of Guttenberg. In the
palace of his father the prince has a
printing office completely fitted up for
ordinary printing and book work.
Prince Ludwig prides himself on his
ability to compete with compositors and
Erinters who follow typography for a
velihood. What is still more interest
ing isthattheprinccus.the eldest daugh
ter of grand duke of Hesse, is a printer,
too, and that the high-born pair work
regularly together at the case. The
latest work which has come from Prince
Ludwig of Balteu berg's press is a vol
ume of notes on travels written by the
prince's sister, the countess of Erbach
Schonberg. The book is said to be exe
cuted in a thoroughly printer-like way.

A Shrewd Dog.
A family let their house furnished,
leaving in it a large dog. The tenant
was an old lady who liked to sit in a
particularly comfortablo chair in the
drawing-room, but as the dog was also
very fond of this chair, she frequently
found him in possession. Being rather
afraid of the dog, she did not care to
drive him out, and therefore she used
to go to tho window and call "Cats!"
The dog would then rush to the window
and bark, and the lady would take pos
session of the chair. One day the dog
entered the room and found the old lady
in the chair. He ran to the window
and barked excitedly. The old lady got
up to see what was the matter, and the
dog instantly seated himself in the
chair. Youth's Companion.

In a lecture at the Royal Institution,
London, Professor Oliver Lodge has en
deavored to snow that electricity might
be employed to clear tho upper atmo
sphere of great cities of tho overhang
ing clouds ot dust aud smoke. He ex
hibited bell jars tilled with denso smoke,
and rendered them clear in an instant
by an electric discharge from a friction
machine. A simiiar discharge of elec
tricity on a large scalp into the dust
and smoke laden air over Ixmdon
would, ho thinks, produce a iike effect,
and he is desirtous of making exjperi
llionts of sufficient magnitude to test
the correctness of this view.
There is still flourishing in the porch
of tho Convent of Santa Sabina, in
Rome, an orange tree that is said to
have been planted in A. 1. 1200. An
other, iu the Monastery at Tondi, is
supposed to have been planted by Sir
Thomas Aquinas in 1278. In the Moor
ish Alcazar, at Seville. Spain, exists one
that was planted during the reign of
Pedro I., between 1350 and 13G6. Others
there are known to be 340 years-old.

The interesting discovery has been
made in Switzerland of a bright green
moss growing on calcareous rocks 200
feet below the surface of Lake Leman.
No other moss has been known so far

so richly developed in a place so remote
from the light is a problem.
