For a Man to deny hk own identity and to have it denied by all hie family ill common For him to depart by a back door or an alley or the roof is equally common. In divorce cases where the defendant does not appear it is impoasi bl. to get judgment by default without the most perfectevidencc that the proper party has been served. This has grown out of the experiences of many cases where the officer serving the summons has either been imposed upon or has willfully permitted nomo person inter ested to personate the defendant. It is a good deal more difficult now than ever it was to get a divorce without letting your husband r wife know of it. THREE Or A NAME. A lady in Brooklyn used to get her hus band oft jury duty in this way: Her futhcr-in-law. aged over 75; her husband, aged 43. and tier son, aged 17. liad all the same name. When the man came along with Ids bundle of jury notices he would say: "Is Mr. So and So InT "Tea. Which do yoa wish, the old man or the young one!" If the man of notices wanted the old man he got one too old for jury duty. If he wanted the young one he got the boy. ItireverooCT-rredtoMmthatthere was a golden mean. "There are lots of people," aaU a dep uty sheriff, "who never have their names in the City Directory and who move fre quently for the purpose of avoiding jury duty and 'military duty and personal taxes. They think it easier to move than to perform the duties of citdxens. They surround themselves with safeguarda They have their letters sent to out of the way places. They tell servantsand land ladies not to let strangers come near them. They will play deaf, dumb and blind to escape notice. They get so in trenched that they will walk by a deputy sheriff and chuckle. "Of course, when this sort of thing is resorted to there is a way of service by publication, but this is only after a great deal of time, money and patience lias been expended to make it apparent that service Is avoided. The difficulty of serving notices personally is so well rec nixedintbe courts that there are many provisions for service by publication. It is true that in many cases there is only a pretense of serving a notice and default is taken against a party for non-appearance when that party has not been served. In some cases parties have served notices by publication in obscure newspapers. But the courts are fully up to that sort of thing, and in all cases where personal service is required the fullest and most convincing proof is demanded, either that due notice has been served or that it b impossible to serve it. "Yet 'there are many cases where per sonal service is indispensable. It is' these that bring the long and weary nights of watching, the frequent calls, the wild goose chases, the long hunts, the patient vigils that make the lot of the deputy sheriff miserable. You must find out where a man lives, what are Ids haunts, what clubs or societies he belongs to. what is Ids church, and you must get a description of him that will enable you to recognize him when you see him. Many a case has been thrown out of court for incomplete evidence of the service of a paper. If you have to serve a paper on John Smith you have got to be sure not only that you serve a paper on John Smith, but that the John Smith whom you served was the identical and actual John Smith intended. To be able to do this it is often necessary to take along with you the party who knows the one you are after. This again exposes you to risk of being observed and avoided. You get to be known by the neighbors. They seem to take a natural dislike to. you. They will not give you any information. BB WAITED FOR THE HUSBAND. "I once went to serve a paper on a man who was not at home. His wife in nocent v told me be would be at home daring the evening and invited me 'to wait. I watted. The lady was very pleasant and entertaining. The evening pawed very pleasantly. I waa not in vited to go, so I remained. Itgotvery late. Then when the husband did come home he got into a towering passion at seeing a stranger sitting up late with his wife. But I eerved the paper, and left the lady to fix it up with her husband as best she could. "1 have stood In the rain watching for men until I thought my papers would get wet through. I have had my ears and toes froeen. I have had women chase me out of the house with broom sticks. I have seen beautiful young women cry and heard bad men swear as I poshed papers into their hands that eom mooed them to court. And yet I would prefer any or all of these experiences to the trouble of ninning after people who an keeping out of the way. It is a most unsatisfactory business, The man who wants the paper eerved accuses yoa of not doing your duty, and you get little pay and no thanks. "Of course I hava to tell little white lies now and then to get at my man. I may pretend that I want to pay him aa old debt in person. I aaayaay I am a ary old friend. I amy pretend that I want to egage his services in aoaae well paid work. New York San. BAD FOR -BLONDE HAIR. Saturn! It Natural ledies.

The vapor is ammonia, which can be seen on the glass in a room where it rises. It combines with the sulphur in the hair chemically, which produces a snlphuret of ammonia. Where thechemi cal action is strong enough, the hair would become black. This is plausible. A Penn avenue physician, in speaking of some of the effects of heat from natural gas, yesterday said: "The use of natural gas has been a gen eral topic of complaint with a large num ber of my patients. I am not prepared to say tliat deafness is on the increase, but natural gas, as it is now used in dwellings, has a decided tendency in that direction. The great trouble is this: The gas is turned on to such an extent that a very high temperature is obtained and maintained throughout the day and night This as' all times is unhealthy. The beat is entirely without moisture, that will naturally dry up the delicate membranes, produce a dry catarrhal dis ease which very materially affects the ear and throat, producing both hoarse ness and deafness. "With coal it fa different. There is a certain amount of moisture given out in the combustion along with the various degrees of beat obtained. Of course, any heat is dry in the abstract, but when combined with steam or any moist sub stance the effects are very different. A number of my patients declare that the gas has made them deaf. That can only be, as I have said, because the excessive heat dries up the membranes in the head. Pittsburg Dispatch. FrawUer Wit. "Every good writer has much idiom," said Landor. "It is the life and spirit of language, and this truth is well illus tratedthough in a homely fashion by the racy talk of men who have lived much by themselves, whether in the back districts of New England or in the newer portions of the west. Such men have not been accustomed, as has well been said, to empty their brains in loose small talk, and when they speak, they are apt to say something. They run naturally to aphorism, and their wit is not only dry, but has what Lowell calls a "nativoandpuckery fla vor. It was a man of this class who declared of a certain neighborhood that the folks were "so thievish they bed to take in their atone walls nights, and of one of his townsmen that he was "a whole team and the dog under the wagon. Of this kind, too, was the Nebraska ranchman, who was overheard taking one of his children to task for his greasy face: "Ain't you ashamed, now, to sprain all the flies legs that light on ye? A Fort Kearney stage driver, with an eye for horse flesh, met a man with a miserable team of half sick and aged little mules. The sight was hateful to him, and straightway he pulled up his horses. "Look-a-here, pilgrim! I know a man that would give $800 to see them mules. "Why, exclaimed the mule driver, startled by such a lucky possibility, "yeou daon't say so! Who is he?" "He's a blind man," answered the coach driver, aiangi Youth's Com panion. Where the "Tips" C. "John, I am in a hurry; see if you cant get my baggage out of 210 in time for the limited," said a gentleman at one of the big hotels yesterday, at the same time dropping a half dollar in the port er's hand. John, with measured alac rity, went to obey Ids orders. "Do you know', said a hotel man standing by, "that your half dollar will find its way into the coffers of the hotel company?" "How is thatr "In many hotels, and I know it fa the rule in this hotel, the head porter is re quired to turnover to the house all the -tips he receives; and be receives his pay in salary and mmmhnion on the tips.'

A COUNTRY WHERE WOMEN ARE TREATED AS BEASTS OF BURDEN. Tea ha the PIHfc KterHa4 Whaa M M OM. A true Arab, when speaking with an other in reference to the women of his own country, begiae his resaarka with "Ajellak Allah.. Literally the words mean, "May God elevate you," and in connection with the mention of females is construed as a wish that the hearer maybe put above contamination by the subject under diacnsBion The have a proverb that runs this way : A man can bear anything but the: This ai eases hv theahorfaat bat the rn'forefte way the preVailing dptaioo among the male Arabs of the opposite sex. Through Egypt and Palestine women are regarded on much the plane as dogs and donkeys. Tho birth of a son is an occasion of rejoicing, but when a daughter comes into a family, one of their writers says, the "threshold weeps forty days whenever a girl is born." The more information there is gathered of the actual condition of the females among the Arabic people, the more pa thetic their condition appears. Week in and week out the maidens and matrons toil in the fields and mills. They arc slaves to be beaten and abused at will. The children as a cIuks ::r. bright, intel ligent and cabbie of being educated as well as tho young of any foreign country. But the people are all generally poor and shiftless, and the little ones so ragged and dirty, until they seem to lose all hojc or self respect. THEY NEVER PLANT TREES. Indescribable laziness controls every body, and the filthiness of many is in keeping. The footpaths through Syria are bordered usually by cactus and pome granate trees, and beneath the shade the people sit with their knees up to their chins, .lazying tho days away. The women do tho work. Frequently long processions of women are seen staggering under burdens of brush wood, but no man ever thinks of offering a helping hand. Generation after generation goes on with no advance. The prevailing sentiment is well illustrated by the utter ance of one of their philosophers, who said they did not plant trees as they would not live till they were grown, and if their children wanted trees they could plant them. There are many stories of tho over whelming extent to which deceit and kindred vices prevail among Mohamme dans. In Beyroot they say "there are twenty-four inches of hypocrisy in the world, with twenty-three of them spread over Syria. There is a nursery tale of Satan's coming on earth with seven bags of lies to distribute, but falling asleep they were all accidentally opened in Syria. Profanity is much .used. They do not swear in English, but their words mean swear just the same. "Allah" is God; "Yullah" means O God; "Inshul lah" means If God will; "WuUah and "Bismillah," in the name of God, and these words both men and women throw into their talk with bewildering rapidity. It is related by a missionary that when trying to persuade a shiekh not to swear tho latter earnestly replied, "Wullah, I will not." GRANDMOTHERS AT TWENTY. Greediness for gain is a predominant passion among adult Arabs, and is im pressed upon the children from their first hour of understanding. "Back sheesh" is the cry and leading hope. Women and children are beaten with a view of exciting pity among foreigners, and through sympathy reaching their purse. Every man is naturally a despot, and one of the most sordid, cold and calculating faces to be seen in any country is that of an Oriental phari see with his phikctery on his fore head. One of the notable things is tho unvarying way in which things goon, century after century. There has been ' little change in many of the customs since Bible times. In the sacred book Isaiah has a verse giving the water car rier's cry, as follows: "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters." The water carrier of today goes around with the same cry, the same skin bag and the metal saucers that he claps to gether in time with his call, as when Isaiah was written. A thing repulsive to Americans is the early age at which girls are married and the domestic ar rangements. Girls are married before they are 10 years old, and are often grandmothers before they are 80. A learned doctor of Damascus married his wife when she was 11 years of age. It was his olaim that by marrying so young a girl he could train herasshe should be. Girls are taken from the English schools at 8 yearsof age to prepare for approach ing union with some man as old as their fathers. The missionaries have been laboring to effect reformation, and, although it is up hill work, the latest accounts tell of progress in the right direction. In some families women are coming to be looked upon more in the light of humans than beasts of the field, and occasional courte sies after the example set by resident Europeans are extended them. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Aa Elephaat'a Memory. A circus traveling through the country puts of England stopped one day at a little town called Hythe. That night when everything was quiet in the tent, animals and-employes all being sound asleep, Clytie, one of the elephants, de liberately and without any uproar, broke' tho chain that fastened her foot, and leaving the tent started toward the center of the town. Nobody was astir, and so she had the way all to herself. She proceeded without delay or hesi tation ton little shop that stood on the main street of the village, and finding it closed, .of course, she immediately forced an entrance with her enormous head and waa soon aa busy an elephant aa you ever saw cramming candy and cakes down her capacious throat. The man who owned the shop came running in from the back room, but Clytie did hot pause in her lunch on that account, nor did she pay any men attention when he ran out again crying, "Ow! Owl" In fact, she totally disre garded the entire neighborhood when they took up that cry of "Owl Ow!"

OM India Flctera ' In the northern part of this state lives an old fanner, honest and upright in kanfajem matters, but notorious for the iaeredible stories of his own prowess, wifah heielates upon every occasion. A ebert tuneeince, in company with a few jmmsaal friends who thoroughly under wfOQft hhi -weakness, he began the rehv tkmof a thrilling Indian story, which was alleged to have taken place while crossing tlte plains in 1851. ., "You see, them Injuns bad been fol lerin me and my partner for four days," he continued, "an' our cattle wuz nijh give out." "Now, Bob!" said one of bis hearers by way of a warning not to presume too much upon their credulity. "An thar they come," he continued, ignoring tho interruption, "jest over a little raise 'bout two miles off. We lit out afoot for all we wuz worth, an them right after us a horseback." "Now. Bob!" "We coiuo to tho river, but it was a roariif rapids, on would liavc dashed us I to piecou agin the rooks in no time. An j thar they come, closer an' closer." . "Now.

"An the d d Injuns killed us both." Francisco Examiner. The Ideal America. It seems to us that there is much which is arbitrary in the ascription of this or that quality or function to this or that ' nation. It is like dividing the mind into faculties: the imaginative faculty, the reflective faculty, the critical faculty; as if either of these were something that could act alone. No one has bad greater influence in forming the citizens of this republic to ' their faith in themselves and in one an- j other than Jefferson; yet Mr. Bryce in his new book says that Jefferson was one with -Rousseau in supposing a natural elevation in average human nature and trusting to it As Rousseau was the first one, he was probably the one, and through his foster son was the father of American democ racy, of that in us which more distinct ively than anything else we can call Americanism our faith in humanity, our love of equality. One cannot claim that Americans of English origin are alone the depositaries of this belief, this passion; and we rather doubt if either would perish though all Americans of English stock perished. The ideal America, which is the only real America, is not in the keeping of any one race; her destinies are too large for that custody; the English race is only one of many races with which her future rests. W. D. Howells in Harper's Mag azine. One Ob the Babbit.

This idea is very gen eral, though few people who use it can tell what it means, except that if their mine is in bonanza their stock will be worth more than a dime a share. The fact is that bonanza is, or was origin ally, completely removed from mining, and at Grst has no connection whatever with it. It is a Spanish term, and. signi fies "fair wind and fair weather." It is, of course, applicable to mining, or any other branch of business, in the sense in which it fa applied, as, if a person fa in "fair wind and fair weather," it fa pretty certain that the balances will be piling up on the right side of hie ledger.

New Orleans - s IISMi SILVER I-0TS AND PANS. A FRENCH FANCY THAT IS BEING IN TRODUCED IN NEW YORK. a BUS. " And fa that a fish kettle, tooT a manofamlraana at Tiffany'a "No, that is to cook asparagus in." "And what fa its prfceT "A hundred and ten dollars.' The latest fancy in expensive appoiat meata for the homes of millionaires fa bunetallic cooking utensils. They are made of heavy copper, with cemented and welded linings of one-sixteenth inch sterling silver. The idea fa Parisian, and the vessels them wives are imported from Franca. They areafci&aaenaaaatitenoT eltiee in Paris, where the hobby has gone to such an extent that no fashion able kitchen is considered properly fur nished unless the food prepared there need touch no metal but silver from the time it arrives from the market until it becomes a part of the family anatomy. PROBABLE CUSTOMERS. Every hobby chums a reasonable ex cuse for existence. It is alleged in this case tliat food cooked in copper or brass becomes permeated with verdigris, which is rank poison, and that iron kettles are only a little less injurious. Against japanned and porcelain lined pots and kettles is urged the assertion that the lining cracks or wears away impercepti bly, leaving spots where the poisonous metal touches the food in process of cook ing. A substantial lining of a harmless metal' liko silver renders tho pot abso lutely safe. Hence Parisian people who can afford the luxury liave become con vinced that their health demands silver; and an effort is being made to convince New York people who have money of tho truth of the same axiom. rfThcy are so new," continued the salesman, "that we liave not sold any considerable number of these utensils yet. But we expect to make large sales. People were over from tho Fifth Avenue hotel the other day examining them. But we probably wont sell any to large hotels unless hotel patrons come to dis criminate in favor of houses who do cook in silver. The chief market will be wealthy private families. Besides being perfectly healthful, you see tho union of the copper and silver is very handsome. A little polishing of the kettles will make a kitchen shine, and give it an air of good appointment. "But we do expect some hotel trade. There will be family hotels which make a point of perfect cuisino and perfect ap pointments. We will also probably fur nish a few of the best seashore hotels and doubtless a number of health resorts and hotels in the south, such as Mr. Flagler's Florida place, for instance. You see the utensils have tho further advan tage of durability. They are expensively and heavily made, and will wear practi cally forever.". WHAT THE BEAUTIES COST. Tho utensils did not differ in shape from those ordinarily seen in modern kitchens. In fact, the uncouth peculi arities of kitchen vessels were a little ex aggerated. Some of the pieces were ex ceedingly heavy, and the larger ones had turned rims of hand beaten metal. There were every size and variety of casso roles, or stewing dishes.

Tliat birds have long been guides to sailors and agriculturists every one who knows anything about popular weatlier prognostics is well aware. Not only liave the flight and general action of birds been noted by aU civilized nations, but among barbarous tribes in this and other lamb the migratory habits of the feath ered tribe liave discounted the prognos tics of government signal bureaus. Wind, rain and other atmospheric changes are predicted by those wlio narrowly watch the migration of birds, and sailors in particular, who are close observersof the heavens above, the atmosphere around them and the waters beneath them, base their prognostics on all the peculiar phanesof land, water and sky' and the elements of life which people them. Among the.birde which serve to guide the sailors to look out for squalla, the sailor expects wind when thecormoranta fly landward.

Savannah News. A few miles from the city of London resides a gentleman and his good wife, owning and tilling fifty acres of land. The gentleman has always had great faith m his cows paying well, bat thought the bens a bill of expense. The lady, on the other band, contended that tho hens paid better than the cows. Ac cordingly one spring she determined to keep books for one season and ascertain the respective merits of both. Sto cred ited the hens with all eggs laid, and in teresting indeed was the contest as the time drew nigh' for receiving the check. from the cheese factory. But it came at last, and behold, the hens were ahead, and so it continued throughout the sea son. One hundred hens to three cows, and as they had decided in the spring that it would cost about the same to keep each, the gentleman was forced to yield the point and admit that the hens were most profitable; and if others would keep an exact account they would be surprised at the result, but most farmers do not give their hens credit for anything ex cept what eggs are taken to market. It is not at all difficult to make hens pay $1 per head per annum if properly cared for. The writer on ono occasion made $3 per head on five dark Brahma hens after paying all expenses. This, it will be understood, was per eggs and meat alone, not for breeding stock, as half a dollar was the highest price realized for young birds. Farmers Advocate. Csannwadlag for Rata. A rather peculiar petition was pre sented to the Kansas house by Mr. Sher man, of Rooks county. It was from 133 citizens of that county. They want the legislature to make an appropriation for the purpose of experimenting in the mat ter of securing artificial rainfall by means of cannonading. The petition was as follows: "We, your petitioners, many of us veterans of the late war, knowing from experience that heavy rainfalls fol lowed each battle or heavy cannonading. and believing that this fact indicates that man may produce rainfall by artificial perturbation of the atmosphere when otherwise it would not bo experienced, and believing it would be wise for the state of Kansas to make a reasonable ex periment in tho matter of attempting to produce artificial rainfall, would most respectfully ask yoa to make an appro priation out of the treasury for the pur pose of such experiments cither by can nonading or otherwise as may be deemed best" Kansas City Star. A Qaeer Stntae of Qnecsi Wtsrta. Everybody knows that the Louise is not a mere amateur dabbler, but a real artist in sculpture, and the statue of the queen on which she is en gaged, and which is to be erected in Kensington Gardens, between the palace and the round pond, will certainly be aa daring in design as it will be novel It is intended to represent her majesty as she appeared on the memorable morning in June, 1837, when it was announced to her that she was queen of England. It wfll be remembered Sir George Hayters picture has commemorated iu that upon the occasion the Princess Victoria ap peared in the acanticst of attire amen robe de nuit, with a shawl hastily flung over it Rumor has it that the Princess Louise is succeeding in giving to this decidedly unconventional attire the ap pearance of quite classical drapery.
