RECOLLECTION.
As vrhen a player, weary of the day.
Takes up his instrument and plays along;
First aimlessly, until unto some song.
Heard long ago, his fingers find their way
The old tune bringing memories which lay
Deep buried in the past, once glad and strong
lie feels again those joys around him tlirong,
And wecis crew bile to think they cannot stay;
So I, a-weary with the passing hours.
In musing fell upou the name of one,
Now dead and gone, who was once dear to me.
And recollections, sweet as summer showers.
Came back, swift as the first, faint gleams that
run
At dawn across a great gray waste of sea.
William Bartlett Tyler in Boston Transcript
KENYOFS VERSION.
We had it rough, Molly and I, for five
years. We were New Englanders, both of
ns; but I had come west years before when
I wasn't much more than a boy, to get rid
of the lung fevers I used to have every
spring sure, and maybe the fall between
thrown in. I had nothing but my two
hands to start without as soon as I'd
made a beginning a small one, of course
I went back for Molly.
And then, as I said, for five years we
had it rough.
In the first place, we were burned out
in the town and never saved a thing but
the clothes we stood in and my team.
Then we started again out on the edge of
everything, where land was cheap, and it
looked as if hard work might count for
something. That time the Indians ran us
off. Never saw an Indian? Well, sir,
you never want to. I don't want to be
hard on anything the Lord saw fit to
make. I suppose he knows what they are
made for or what he meant them for I
know there's a good deal of talk lately
about their wrongs. They've had 'em,
sure enough; may be I don't see things
all round as I ought to. They say all
general rules bear hard on particular
cases. I'm one of the particular cases,
perhaps. Anyhow, they killed one of the
children there the girl, 5 years old; shot
her right in full sight of the cabin, and
Molly hasn't got over it till this day.
I picked up a few head of cattle cheap
that fall, and for a year we lived in a
wagon, camping and driving our cattle
across the ranges. You don't know what
that life means for a woman, take it
month in and month out. Cooking over
a camp fire, and not much of anything to
cook, anyhow; clothes wet half the time;
never warm in winter nor cool in sum
mer, and never clean. That year the
boy died snakebit. We were so far from
a settlement that we couldn't get a doctor,
and we buried him ourselves.
We got into a cabin in the fall. Four
of us, each one poorer than the others,
took a section of government land. We
had our teams and our health, and we
were down to bed rock; not much of any
thing to lose nnd everything to gain. A
man will work under sucli circumstances,
you'll find. Wc built in the middle of the
adjoining corners of our quarters, and so
had a little settlement of our own. We
did it for the sake of the women, for it
made an almighty sight of travel for us
to get over in the course of the day.
They were all New England women, slen
der and spare, but solid grit clear through.
Plymouth Kock is pretty good stock.
Never a whimper nor a complaint out of
one of them, though there wasn't a sec
ond frock in the crowd; and if there was
always corn bread and coffee enough for
two in any of the shanties it wasn't fn
ours. After awhile, though, we had game
enough quail and prairie chickens. Prai
rie chickens! I wouldn't be hired to touch
one now. I remember one day along to
ward spring when Molly struck. We had
had tpuail and prairie chicken, prairie
chicken and quail, three times a day ever
Bince I could remember, it seemed to me.
She put her fork down and pushed her
plate away and just quoted out of the
Bible: "Not one day, nor two days, nor
five days, neither ten days nor twenty
days, but even until it come out at your
nostrils and be loathsome unto you. ' Molly
knew the Bible.
It really began to look as if we had
touched bottom. That next spring we
got our crops in corn laid by, rain and
sunshine and hot weather all just right;
and now and then we would hear a laugh
from the houses.
But the day the grasshoppers came
there was mighty little laughing done.
Clayton came in where I was taking my
noon smoke and kind of dropped down in
a chair by the door, as if he couldn't get
any farther.
"Mountaineers!" he said, with a kind
of gasp.
"What!" I said, not knowing but it
was another kind of Indian.
"Grasshoppers!" It seems he had been
there before.
I ran out, and sure enough there they
were, coming up against the sun like a
low kind of cloud. And in a minute or
two it was like being out in a live hail
storm. We tried to fight them with Are
and hot water, but we gavo it up in an
hour. All day we sat and listened to that
horrible cracking and craunchlng, nnd
when they got through it looked as if a
fire had gone over us. Not a green thing
left, and the corn stalks gnawed down to
stumps.
Wc held a council of war. The end of
it was that we drove our stock into the
town the next day, thirty miles, and sold
it. It didn't make us rich, but at least
we got the price of the hides. Then three
of us were to work in the coal shippings,
and Jim Clayton went back to stay with
the women. He had smashed his shoul
der that summer and was of no mortal
use with shovel and pick. We were to
keep them in supplies, and it looked as if,
after all, things might have been worse.
And they got worse before a great while.
The coal company petered out just as the
real cold weather set in. We took back a
big load of coal; it was the only pay we
ever got for our last fortnight's work, and
called another council.
Along in November late about the time
when they were keeping Thanksgiving on
the side where they know what Thanks
giving means we started on a buffalo
hunt. There was enough to eat, such as
it was, for a month in the cabins, and fuel
enough to keep them warm; and by that
time we thought work might begin again.
Anyway, we'd have our meat for the rest
of the winter.
Well, it's no use to go over that. It
wasn't a pleasant trip. We weren't out
for the fun of killing. We camped out at
night, and rode and shot and dressed game
by day, and did not starve nor quite freeze
to death; and we got back again on to the
plains along in December.
I wanted to pash through and get home,
but the horses were played out; and all
the next day, after we struck the level,
we just crawled along. We had not heard
a word since we started, and I was pretty
anxious Molly was not well when I left
her; bnt there was no choice about it, I
had to go; the women were with her, and
then was a doctor in the town, and Clay
ton had a good horse, and we had tn tin
about that as we had done about every
thing else take out chances.
I shan'tlforgct that day. Along in the
middle of the morning a norther bcan to
blow. It did not snow, although the sky
thickened up with gray, woolly looking
clouds, low down and threatening. You
never felt a norther? A wind that goes
through your bones, that clutches your
hmrt aiuLstops your brain; that breaks
you up body "and souL You don't know
anything about cold till you've felt one.
If there is such a thing as a frozen helL
that's where these winds come from. It
isn't pure cold, it's ghost cold, and all the
infernal regions let loose, yelling and
thundering up in the awful emptiness
over your head and round yon.
Love the prairies? Well, you can love
them a good deal better on paper than
anywhere else. But there's an awful fas
cination about them, somehow. It's like
the sea. A man that's got his living out
of them for ten years is fit for nothing else
in God's world. He can't get away. He's
spoiled for everything else under heaven.
He's got to have the sky and a chance to
breathe. It's about all there is to get,
better than he can have anywhere else;
but it's a sure fact that so much he's got
to have whatever else gets left. It's like
-a poem, may be "I ain't much on rhyme"
myself driving across them in warm
weather; horses fresh and well fed,
with a big tent and spring cots for
camping and a supply wagon -with every
thing you can think of but ice, and maybe
that; all the world a-ripple with summer
green; like the south wind surging like a
warm ocean and the sky blue and soft and
arching away up to the great white throne.
That's one thing. To go trailing along,
horses dead beat and half starved, pulling
a big wagon through sloughs up to the
axles or over frozen ruts that wring every
bolt in the concern and every bone in your
body, while mile after mile of dead grass
stretching out to the edge of the world,
with buzzards swinging up out of nowhere,
more like something infernal than any de- j
cent living thing; with coyotes yelping and
crying all night tliat's another thing, and
the kind that doesn't get talked about
much. Perhaps you don't remember that
item in last winter's newspapers a half
dozen lines or so two families frozen in a
Texas norther, horses, dogs and all, just
as they stood.
That night we went into camp ten miles
from home. There was a ravine and
plenty of brush, and the horses were
ready to drop in their tracks, and that
last ten miles was one of the tilings that
couldn't be done. So wo got our fires
made and our horses fed and sheltered as
well as we could, and put some heart into
ourselves with buffalo steak and hot cof
fee, and the rest of them packed them
selves into the wagon. Some one had to
stand guard and keep the fires going, and
I took the contract.
It wasn't a. dark night. There was a
goodish bit of a moon behind the clouds,
and it made a gray kind of light over every
thing. We were at the bottom of a dry
canyon that ran east and west, and the
wind did not reach us. It screeched and
screamed over our heads, and through it
all there was a kind of moaning roar, as
if we were at the bottom of a tide as deep
as the stars are high. I got to thinking
alnjut old times away back, of one San
day night just before we were married. I
had gone east a little sooner than we ex
pected, and had to wait for her things to
be finished. We went to church, that
night. A keen, crisp, still night it was,
when the sleigh runners squeaked on the
snowand the moonlight traced the shad
ows of the elm on the white ground as if
they had been put in black drawing. The
church was warm and bright and they
hadn't taken down the Christmas greens
yet, so the air was full of the smell of them
that spicy, haunting smell, that seems as
if it came somehow from a world before
this.
It was years since I had smelled it, and I
sat and listened to the music and looked
at the people, with their comfortable
clothing and faces that were cheerful, not
worn and wrinkled with care and weather.
Molly was an awfully pretty girl iu those
days; all pink and white like an apple
blossom, somehow. And fighting to keep
awake out there in the heart of a Kansas
prairie, I got to thinking about her as she
was then and how she had changed. Skin
the color of tanned leather now, and that
wild, hungry look in her blue eyes, as if
they were always staring into the dnrk for
something that frightened her. And both
her children dead, and not even u spray
of the pine she loved so, nor a breath of
music; nothing but a dirt floor and log
walls that did Jill that was expected of
them if they kept the weather out.
Somebody hailed over the top of the
bluff.
"What camp's that?"
"Kenyou and mates."
"I 'lowed it was" scrambling down
the sides of the gulch on his sure footed
mule "you, Kenyon? News for you. A
kid up to your ranch, ten days oW All
hands doing well yesterday morning."
The rest roused themselves, sleepily.
He had got off the trail, and seeing our
smoke had struck for it. We knew and
lie knew that the chances were that it
saved his life; but he swallowed his cof
fee and smoked his pipe and turned in
with the rest as if getting lost in a
norther was one of the things that hap
pened, of course, to every mau.
Then I sat and thought a while, and
finally I roused out Madison.
"You take my turn," I said to him;
"I'm going home."
"Not a brute that will travel."
"I'll do my own traveling on foot."
"You'll pass in your checks before
morning."
"No, the wind is at my back; no fords;
I'll keep going;" and I went.
Went; half running, with the wind
driving me on till I was ready to drop.
Once I fell and lay there with the wind
dragging and tearing at me till I began to
grow sleepy, and then I had to get up and
go ahead again.
Perhaps you never tried crossing a
prairie at night without a trail to follow.
It's a curious thing, one I cannot account
for; one that makes you feel as if your
body and all your senses were of no more
account than a spent cartridge. It hap
pened to me that night, space and time
seemed to get all mixed up together all at
once racing along; it seemed to me that I
had been keeping up that sort of thing for
hours. I felt so adrift somehow so hor
ribly lost as if I had slipped out of my
self nnd was out in space without a land
mark to measure anything by. I expect
you'll have to try it yourself to know
what I mean. I had no wntch; there was
no way of knowing how much time had
gone. Of all the devils that can enter
into a man uncertainty is the worst.
Every sort of a fancy came into my head.
Perhaps I did not know the route as well
as I had thought. Perhaps I had even
passed the cabins and was going away
from them with every step. I ought to
have reached them in three hours at the
utmost. It seemed to mo that I had been
hurling along for twice three hours.
Once I tried madly to fight back into the
wind. It was hopeless, worse than use
less, i should drop with exhar?ticn in a
few minutes, nnd I must keep going.
And then I found burned grass under
my feet. There had been a lire over the
prairie. The ground was not cold yet. A
new dread got hold of me. Who knew
where it had gone or what had stood in its
track? I ran along screaming something
praying or swearing quite mad, I think,
for a little, till I fell again, and the jar
brought me to my senses.
I had gone over the edge of an old buf
falo run scooped deep by the rush of sum
mer rains. I lay still for a little while. I
must have gone to sleep, or perhaps I
fainted away. Anyway, when I came to
myself again the world was as still as the
grave.
The wind had gone down, as it will
sometimes, suddenly and entirely. The
silence was horrible. I got on my feet
stiff and benumbed. In all that gray, still,
ghastly space there was nothing to tell
east from west or north from south. I was
lost on the big range.
It was still enough, but the cold was
dangerous. I could not stop. I must
move somewhere. I must make myself a
purpose a purpose to keep myself alive
at least till daylight came.
I began walking; it did not matter in
what direction. If only my strength
held out till morning strength to keep
off that horrible drowsiness. I know I
stumbled heavily along. I was thinking
about Molly and her baby; it all seemed
like a dull dream.
And then bells began to ring; deep and
soft and far off. I stopped in my tracks
to listen. It was the sound of bells, cer
tain, full and sweet; and I turned and
went blindly on, following the sound as a
hound might follow a scent.
All at once I saw a light. It wasn't a
star; there were no stars. And nobody
lived on the big range, unless some
camper was traveling about, and travelers
don't travel in the teeth of a norther.
And this light swung and waved, went
out entirely for a secor " " and then
uurnea up again. And near or far I
could not tell, only it was a light and it
moved, and I followed it. And I could
hear the bells all the time.
Then, all at once, another one of Molly's
Bible verses flashed into my head; some
thing about a "star in the east that went
before them till it came and stood over
the place where the young child lay."
Well. I wasn't a wise man, or I
shouldn't have got In such a fix. I don't
think I am an irreverent kind of a fellow,
either; a man conld live with Molly many
years and be that. Only I was looking
for a young child too, and babies little
ones always did seem to me near enough
to heaven to make that story about the
star reasonable enough. Anyway, there it
was, meant for me or not, and I fol
lowed it.
More than once I fell, but I always got
up and went on. I was talking to myself
part of the time, hearing my own voice
and thinking it was some one else's. I
lost my sense of time again, but kept on
doggedly; and then, suddenly, the light
flashed brighter, whirled about in a wild
sort of a way, and went out entirely.
I gave a shout and ran forward. I
thought I should die if I lost it And
there I was standing on a wide trail, with
a sort of square dark shape standing up
in the dimness before me, with light and
voices coming out of the chinks, and
somehow, there was, the door, and my
hand on the latch, and in another second
oh! it was Molly Molly with a lamp
in her hand, bending over a feeding box
made into a cradle, with a great armful
of hay and a white sheepskin for a cover,
and Madison's wife kneeling on one sido
and Clayton's wife on the other, and be
yond, with the lights flashing in their
great, wandering, shining eyes, a pair of
astonished horses. And then there came
a piping cry from the feeding trough, and
I knew I had found the baby.
Burned out? Yes, sir. That was the
last thing; but they had had warning be
fore the fire came down on them. Jim
Clayton liad taken the women and struck
across for the big road and they took the
first shelter they came to, a stable that
had been built in the days when all the
California supplies went overland by mule
train. When the wind fell he took the
lantern and tried to find a cabin that used
to stand somewhere near, and I had been
following him for half an hour.
Oh yes, I'm well fixed now; three thous
and head of cattle out on the Gunnison.
And Molly spends her summers back
home, and she and the babies bring back
enough croup and catarrh and bronchitis
sore throat to last them half the next
winter. New York Independent.
How the Turku Make Coffee.
A special word for the coffee is needed.
The Turkish coffee is seldom liked at first
by strangers, but it dies not take long for
one to learn to like that so well that no
other coffee ecr tastes half so good.
There is a small brass thing, lietween a
dipper and a kettle with a capacity for
two, four or more cups marked upon it.
Into this is put cold water, a teaspoon
heaping full of sugar for eacli cup and a
small tcaspoonful of coffee ground as fine
as flour for each person. These are added
to the cold water, and then the ebrick, or
coffee kettle, is pushed down into the
coals of the manga, or brazier, and just as
it is on the point of boiling, liefore it does
the coffee is poured into tiny porcelain
cups, which hold as much as half an egg
shell. This cup is then placed into a
beautiful gold or silver filagree coffee
holder, and is served with a tray of
glasses of water. First you drink the
water to leave your mouth clean enough
to appreciate to the full the delicious
aroma of the coffee. No milk or cream is
added and the coffee Is thick with
grounds, and on the top of each cup
should be a foam called kaimac, or cream.
As soon as you enter a harem the chief
lady, or bascadine hanum, claps her
hands and the caffeejee, or coffee bearer,
brings coffee. Olive Harper in Philadel
phia Times.
A Queer Japanese Custom.
Riding up the wide street a short ais
tancc we come to the United States con
sulate for a wonder a really fine looking
building beyond which, on each side of
the street, we notice numerous bamboo
poles, from the tops of which are floating
immense many colored paper fishes, so
constructed as to be filled by the wind.
These illustrate a very curious custom iu
vogue all through Japan. During the
month of May it is customary to float n
paper fish in front of each house in which
a male child has been born during the
year, and very unhappy are most young
married couples who cannot display such
an emblem. The boy, no matter how ugly
or mischievous he may be, is the pride of
the Japanese household, and on the Hth of
each May his parents must give a festival
in his honor, at which time he is the re
cipient of all sorts of boys' toys, not only
from his own parents, but also from their
relatives and friends. It is the greatest
social festival of the year. On one pole,
just above the paper fish, we noticed a
flowing paper figure In blue and white
Japanese mourning colors which we im
agined signified that a male child hud
been born in the adjacent house during
the year, but that it had since been car
ried off by the grim destroyer. Cor. Bal

Device for Reporting Sporting Figures.
Mr. D. Wilkins, pressman of The Chi
cago Mail, has recently patented a device,
the practical workings of which, we are
credibly informed, have increased the extra
edition of that journal containing the re
sult of the baseball matches from 1,200 to
2-1,000 copies. A few evenings since, on
invitation, we visited its pressroom, in
which are .located two Presto presses,
about 5:80 o'clock. The plates were
already on the cylinder, containing a de
tailed description of the match up to the
sixth inning. In these plates were in
serted a number of square black blocks,
with the names of the contesting clubs
preceding them. At the telephone, near
the presses, was a teller, who announced
the results of each inning, received di
rectly from the ground, to the pressman
standing ready, die in hand, to impress on
the respective blocks the required figures.
As soon as the result of the ninth inning
was received and the totals inserted the
machines were' set in motion, and in
twenty-two seconds from the announce
ment of the result a paper containing an
account of the game was placed in our
hands; in less than a minute the news
boys were selling them on the street, and
before the crowds at the grounds had dis
persed The Mail wagon was on hand to
supply the demand for the "extra." In

Physician as Opium Slaves.
Many physicians become slaves to the
opium habit. A recent Austrian medical
author speaks of the incredible number of
physicians who have fallen victims to it
and of the many who have only just es
caped. A Prussian writer had sixteen
cases of morphia addiction under his
care, of which medical men formed more
than one-third. The majority of my own
patients are medical men. The physician
is apt to resort to the drug because his
calling involves special inroads into his
mental and physical well being. Nearly
always, in them as in others, there Is
some form of neurotic disorder. Any
form of persistently painful disturbance
involves this risk. A medical gentleman
(a former patient of mine) says:
"I proclaim it as my sincere belief that
any physician afflicted with neurotic dis
ease of marked severity, and who has in
his possession a hypodermic syringe and
Magendie's solution, is bound to become,
sooner or later, if he tampers at all with
the potent and fascinating alleviative, an
opium habitue." J. B. Mattison, M. D.,
in The Epoch.
Liquid Solidified by Pressure.
Hitherto there has been no instance
known of a liquid, properly so called, be
ing solidified by pressure alone, but this
experiment has now been accomplished by
the French chemist, Amsgat, who has
succeeded in thus solidifying the bichlo
ride of carbon. New York Commercial
Advertiser.
Hard and Soft Water.
The importance of soft water for do
mestic purposes is illustrated by the ex
perience of a large London asylum, in
which a change from hard to soft water
has resulted in an estimated annual sav
ing in soda, soap, labor, etc., of mora than
$4,000. Arkaaaaw Traveler.
THE WAR IN DIXIE.
A CONFEDERATE COLONEL GIVES
SOME WAR TIME EXPERIENCES.
A Bant Offering et 8arplus Baggage.
Novel Methods of Preparing a Dinner.
A Primitive Spring Bed Au Icy Conch.
A Predestinarlan.
In the spring of 1862 our patres con
scripti hadV evidently become convinced
that the contest was likely to be both seri
ous and long, and volunteers for three
years or the war were called for. Soon
affer this I was at Corinth, Miss., as cap
tain of n comimny "in the Thirty-eighth
Mississippi regiment. I had provided my
self with an ample supply of bedding, in
cluding a mattress, and took along a trunk
containing some elegant citizen's clothing
for dress or social occasions. One day our
quartermaster requested us to send all
baggage to the depot for "convenience of
transportation in case of retreat." This
was thoughtful of him and I felt grateful,
but not for long. In a few hours it trans
pired that our luggage xcaa not to be
checked through, but was to be burned.
It began to dawn upon me that I had been
somewhat stupid in my military prepara
tions, but when I rushed of! to the depot
nnd found several acres of similar impedi
ments piled up for a burnt offering I felt
somewhat relieved. It was clear that my
ears were no longer than my neighbors'.
That night Cprinth was evacuated. Tho
measles, a disease very fatal to soldiers,
had already appeared in camp and the ex
posure of this retreat resulted in the death
of fifty-niue men in my compauy of ISOl
The regiment had been hurried to tho
front before submitting to the hardening
process of a camp of instruction, through
the ambitious vanity of its colonel, who
was in baste to win a brigadier's wreath.
It occasioned no surprise that the lean
Jack FalstafT ran away from our first
serious fight at Iuka and we saw hini no
more. On this retreat a feat was per
formed in a culinary way that could not
be excelled. Being separated from our
trains and having little knowledge of the
need of being always prepared for sudden
movements, there was neither pot nor pan
to be found in the company.
In spite of these minor difficulties I
dined one day, by invitation, and, as i
thought at the time, luxuriously, off of
hot loaf bread and butter and broiled
tenderloin steak. Dinner was prepared
in this way: A pit was dug some twenty
inches square and one foot deep with a
shoulder half ways down. In this pit dry
oak twigs were burned to embers. A
clean handkerchief well floured answered
for a tray and the loaf, when kneaded,
was placed in the pit. This was covered
with hark nnd earth and tho oven was
perfect and complete. When the bread
was done other sticks were made to do
duty as a griddle, and with the help of a
few necessities obtained from a farm
house the steak was broiled and seasoned
to a turn.
A PRIMITIVE SritlNG BED.
After the burnt offering mentioned
trunks and mattresses disappeared and,
most generally, tents were an unknown
luxury to the private soldier in theiield
Hero again necessity spurred on invention
and a sort of liliputian tent was the re
sult. Four stakes about two feet long,
with forks for cross pieces, were driven in
the ground. On these a platform was
made by laying poles lengthwise, thus
making a spring bed of no mean preten
sions. . About threo feet above this was a
ridge pole, across which a rubber or
woolen blanket was 6tretched tent fash
ion. A blanket laid on tho platform, unci
another for covering formed the tmpo
rary conch of two men. They entered oa
all fours at the end, as a rat enters his
hole, but, unlike the rat, they did not
turn round to come out. This pretentious
style of housekeeping was only resorted
to in wet weather. Strict economy in the
matter of labor wns the rule among sol
diers, and the earth for a couch and tho
sky for a covering sufficed iu most cases.
I never knew one of these platforms made
to avoid sleeping on the frozen ground.
The soldier would spread his blanket and
lie down until his underside fraternized

turn over and freeze the other side while
the first thawed out, and so on through
the night.
I well remember one fellow, a fine sol
dier, too, who scorned the burden of even
a blanket on the march, and so at night,
when he failed to steal one (which was
seldom), he sat up by a fire and made
night hideous with mock sermons of won
derful theology nnd doubtful morality.
Strange to say, he survived the war, and
is now enlisted In the army of the IajtA.
At Vicksburg this same preacher was re
sponsible for a ready retort under trying
circumstances. He was then a firm Cnl
vinist, and was always ready to do battle
in defense of hia creed. One day he was
sitting, with a group, in an angle of tho
works, discussing his favorite dogma of
predestination. Just then a shell explod
ed and knocked the predestiuariiin over
without hurting him. When he recov
ered his breath and legs lie darted uir for
the shelter of a traverse just in front of
ns. His antagonist yelled at and twitted
him with his want of faith in his own doc
trine. He did not pause in the order of
his going, but stuttered back: "Cn-ca-can't
stop; it's prc-prc-prc-dcstined that I
must get on the other side of the tra
traverse!" and he fulfilled the decree to
the letter and with commendable alacrity.

Tricks of Summer Boarders.
There is no end to the mean nnd
yiy tricks that some summer boardei
play. From the moment they enter yotiv
house they seem to do nothing but schemo
how they can get more than they pay for.
If they see that there is an unoccupied
room they will ask that the children bo
allowed to use it till it is let, and if they
once get possession they will do their best
to prevent its being let.
I am considered unreasonable nnd un
feeling if I object to my hall and parlor be
ing made into a playground. And if tho
visiting "darlings" like to throw stones at
the cow or chase the chickens, they ought
to be allowed these country amusements.
Of course each family would like to keep
a box of beer or some temperance drink i:i
the ice4 chest, and when such a thing ta
declared impossible, remarks are mado
about "being so mean with a little bit of
iec." The orchard and fruit garden must
be free to the boarders, who waste or spoil
three -times as much as they could cat it
the fruit were properly picked.
My sugar bowls used to be nightly emp
tied to sweeten lemonade, and my water
cooler robbed of the ice in order to cool the
same. I have now to lock my dining room
us soon as a meal is over, and the lid of
my water cooler is securely fastened
down.
Let the boarding house keeper beware
of the young baby who is stated not to re

Shaving on a Fast Train.
A genial young man was talkinn; at the
University club with a circle of friends
about men who possessed that rare desid
eratum called nerve. "Why, do you
know," he went on to say, "last spring I
was on a Baltimore and Ohio train going
to Washington. The train was spinning
along at the liveliest rate, throwing the
rear car, in which we were sitting, first
on one side and then on another in a erack-ing-the-whip
sort of way, making it al
most impossible to walk in the aisle with
out being precipitated violently into a
seat. Then, in the rear end of the car in
the gentlemen's dressing room, I saw a
man with nerve.
He was quietly stropping his razor and
preparing lather for shaving. It was a
broad, old fashioned blade, bright as a
silver pocket piece. "Ain't you afraid of
cutting your throat,?" I inquired. "No,

IT'S THE UNDERWEAR'S FAULT.
A P!iTlclan Who Cures Disorders by
Prescribing Woolen Underclothing.
"Bad cold?"
"I should say I had, doctor," responded
the reporter as he smothered a cough.
"What kind of underclothing do you
wear?"
"The same kind I wore all summer."
"Linen or cotton?"
"I really can't say. Cotton, I believe."
"Did you suffer from the beat much
duriug the summer?"
"Suffer? I should say I did. I nearly
melted."
"And yon are a trifle chilly, now that
the cold wave has come?"
"I nm, indeed: but what have my un
derclothes to do with that? I have always
worn the same kind in summer."
"So does almost every one. The use of
linen and cotton for underwear Is one of
the commonest of all errors in this conn
try. Now in Germany we have a move
ment which is called the German school
of clothing reform. It aims to replace
cotton and linen witii woolen goods.
There are many reasons why this should
lie done. Wool exercises a stimulating
effect upon the skin, unlike linen and
cotton, and consequently promotes the
(proper action oC the po's, glands and
superficial tissues. It is a nonconductor
of heat and preserves the normal temper
ature of the body. It allows a freer es
cape of the perspiration, and thus lowers,
by evaporation, any abnormal tempera
ture of the lxxly, and facilitates tho loss
of excessive heat. Also, through its non
conductivity of heat, it preserves the
normal measure of warmth. Hence it is
a better protection against the extremes
of either heat or cold than linen or
cotton."
"Well, those certainly do seem to be
reasons enough."
"Indeed they are, but they are not all.
Wool is electrical, while linen and cotton
are not. Wool can excite electricity, but
does not conduct it. Therefore a bod)
clothed in wool loses less of its ani
mal electricity, while fresh electricity
is excited on the surface. The intimate
relationship between galvanic, nervous
nnd vital forces render this peculiarity nf
the greatest imiortance to the wearer."
"Why doesn't every one wear wool
then?"
"Because," answered the physician,
"the old idea of having something flumsy
nnd gauzy next to the Ash is too firmly
instilled in the minds of the manufac
turers of underwear for them to experi
ment with woolen materials. I have cured
a large numiier of sick men of seemingly
incurable disorders by simply prescribing
a change in their underwear. While it is
not an infallible cure all," added the phy
sician iu conclusion, "it certainly is of
much benefit, and its general adoption
would result in great permanent good."
Protecting Watches from Electricity.
"The electric rnilrovj." are magnetizing
a great many watches,'" said a jeweler.
"The watches become as thoroughlytnng
netizeil as though brought within tho
range of a dynamo, Here are three watches
sent to me from Scranton, Pa., to be de
magnetized. The jeweler that sent them
said he had thirty-five in the some condi
tion." "Can they be made to resist the influ
ence of the electricity?" ventured a re
porter. "Oh, yes. If we put in a shield made
for the purpose they are all right This
is the way it works."
The jeweler took an ordinary watch
cover, put a steel pen in it and moved a
magnet on the outside of the cover. The
pen followed tho movements of the mag
net. He did the same with a pen in one
of the shields, but the magnet was power
less. "In some of the finer watches we put a
double shield," he continued, "and a plate
over tho dial. We protected a watch for
Vice President C. E. Chinnock, of the Edi
son company. He used it two years while
superintendent in their place in Pearl
street, and walked between two big dyna
mos with it without tho watch being dis
turbed. Those dynamos are the largest
iu the world, 150 horse power each, and
each will lift 4,000 pounds. They took on
umbrella right away from me."
"Has there been any particular disturb
ance of watches this summer?"
"It has lieen very great. The electri
cal condition of the atmosphere this season
has doubled the business ln-mainsprings.
More mainsprings have been broken than
has ever been known before. Nearly all
the watches taken in for repairs this
season have had broken mainsprings."
"Is the effect of the electric railways
general?"
"Every watch carried on an electric
railway will be magnetized unless it has a
shield. Every lever on an ordinary en
gine is a magnet of itself by reason of the
earth's inductive force. Many railroad
companies require their engineers and
conductors to have their watches pro
tected by shields, much of tho trouble of
watches being out of time resulting in
accident' is due to

of the great iron king who died recently,
has issued this address to his men at

my steel works: On my return from the
tomb of my never to be forgotten father,
I take the first opportunity to express my
heartfelt thanks to all for the last honors
rendered to the departed in escorting his
remains to their last resting place and for
the touching sympathy shown me in my

The Non-payment of Rant.
In the reports of the health of towns
commissioners it is continually pointed oat
that sickness is the chief cause of the non
payment of rent. One witness says:
"Three out of five of the losses of rent
that I now have are losses from the sick
ness of the tenants, who are working men.
Rent is the best got from healthy houses."
Another says: "Sickness at all forms an
excuse for the poorer part not paying their
rent, and a reasonable excuse," so that
filth causes sickness, sickness inability to
work, inability to work poverty and non
payment of rent, to say nothing of starva
tion. Science Book Review.

Cattish Dislike ef France.
It is singular how the English dislike
the French. This sentiment is prevalent
in the very best circles, and is equally
strong with the uneducated masses. The
secret of the opposition to the construc
tion of the' tsmnel does not arise from any
fear upon the part of those opposing this
scheme that England will be in any more
danger of invasion' after the completion of
such a tunnel, bnt from invincible dislike
i fur the French. Said one of the best and
most intelligent English gentlemen I have
met in this country: "We don't want
anything built or done that can make
communication between this country aud
France easy and more intimate than it
now is." Then he added in a thoughtful,
contemplative way: "I think I can say
without danger of exaggeration that I hate
all Frenchmen, and I do not know of a
i single properly
trained Englishman who
does not feel as I do." T. C. Craw ford in
