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.

To be more specific, the vapor, imper
ceptible to the naked eye, generated by
the gas, attacks the golden tresses,
whether wig or in a state of luxuriant
growth, and gradually darkens the hue
of blonde hair as long as the influence
continues. 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

Of this kind, too, was the Nebraska

A Fort Kearney stage driver, with an

A COUNTRY WHERE WOMEN ARE

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

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!"

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

in mining speak of bonanzas, expecting
them, being In bonanza, eta All thfafa
calculated to make one believe that the
term fa purely a mining one, that it had
its origin there, and that, in fact, outside
of the mining world it lias no exist
ence or meaning. 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.

SILVER I-0TS AND PANS.
A FRENCH FANCY THAT IS BEING IN
TRODUCED IN NEW YORK.

"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. Tho smallest,
without a lid, and which held, perhaps,
a cupful, was marked $2.50.
"To boil an egg or heat a cupful of
consomme for a single light lunch," ex
plained the salesman. Tho ordinary
sized stewing dish, such as a moderate
family might require, was marked $30.
The largest size costs $42.
"Now, this fish kettle," said the sales
man, "would boil, I should say, a three
pound cod. This big strainer and lifter,
which rests on the bottom during the
boiling, is of solid sterling silver, like
the lining. The cost of tho kettle isSSS.
We expect to sell a great many of them.
This larger size, for a small salmon,
my, costs $115. That asparagus kettle
at $110 of course can be used for certain
other vegetables besides. Ilere aro om
elet pans of various sizes. This one
for a two egg omelet costs $5.50. This
largest size is $12. They range between,
according to size. Hero are frying pans
at $0 and $10.50. They are for tho chef
to toss cakes in; playthings, you know."
Boiling kettles were of all sizes. A good
large one, corresponding in size to our
grandmothers' $1 iron kettles, waa
marked $85. One much smaller and
higher cost $50.
"Nice for boiling calves' heads when J
you don't want to break them." said the
salesman.
Jelly "tins" in various shapes wero $15
each, and small "French" coffee boilers
were marked $17. Pudding and maca
roni plates cost from $7 up, and samo
vars, for heating water in the kitchen
around a charcoal fire, were marked $65.
Pitchers for heating milk aad water on
the range were marked from $5 to $18,
and milk pails to pass between milkman
and kitchen were the same price. New

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

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

heights and, circling round, utters shrill
cries, a storm fa approaching. If the
parrots whistle on shipboard it will rain.

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

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.

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.

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

Louise is succeeding in giving to this
decidedly unconventional attire the ap
pearance of quite classical drapery.
