He was rather threadbare bnt cire fqlly brushed, and was topped off with a shiny new silk hat. With careful observa tion he scanned the occupants of the car and then' sat himself down directly oppo site an unusually pretty girl with her Jap fall of Christmas bandies. He smoothed his gloves, arranged his caffs and k. cktie, and then flashed an irresistible smileatlhe pretty girl. She looked hastily out of the window. By and by she turned her face again, to meet the same breadth of smile and the eyes fixed steadily on her face. She looked annoyed. He looked delight ed. Her cheeks grew pink. She had half a mind to change her seat. Then all tbe bravery iu her nature mounted to her eyes. Slowly she drew from h r pocket a lorgnette and held it withetbe most deliberate iniaisitive ness np to her eyes. First she scanned the top of his hat, then slowly O, so slowly let her gaze creep downward to its wealth of smile, her own never chang ing by the quiver of a muscle. Down, down it a ent, with fixed and stony stare, to the tips of his boots. There it paused for an instant, then began its slow upwar J march, creeping along with the same curi ous deliberation, mnch as one would sur vey a new variety of animal with a vie to classification. When she reached the smile again the plory of it was dimmed. When she rea-.hed the toes they were de cidedly uneasy, and by the time she was ready to srao his face on her upward sweep it looked red and decidedly un comfortable. O .e more sweeping circuit was made, and tiie discomfited mabber," mu'tering something about the car's beiug too hot for him, tied from tbe awful pres ence, aud plunged down the stairs into the street below.

A young man plowing on a ranch near Gait, Cal., found over $l,ti00. His employer kept all but $20 of it, and left the plowman to plod his weary way in the field. The smuggling of 3,000 barrels of United States whisky into Canada seems to demand an investigation. There is ground for suspicion thnt it was spirited over the line, A farmer at Saco, Me., says that he lias found an occupation which combices amusement with toil. He it blowing stumps out of the field with dynamite, and the fuu of seeing the old roots go dying forty feet into the air disguises all the work. Boston is now receiving letters from San Francisco in four days and nine teen hours. When Gen.

Mrs. Harriet Beechkr Stowe, it is now asserted on apparently good au thority, is not demented, as recently published, but is suffering merely from the weaknesses incident to age She is simply broken down, "childish," to use the accepted term to apply to an old person's declining years. The Sunday newspaper meaning the Sunday edition of the daily paper has fully demonstrated its hold on society. It is one of the needs of the time, and our large cities could in no wise spare the complete news record of which the Sunday press is an important part. It is now regarded as a settled ques tion that the nitrogen of the atmosphere is fixed in the soil for the use of vegeta tion by the action of microbes, and that no soil Ls destitute of these germs. It is suggested that the greater develop ment of the microbes by farm-yard ma nures may explain the apparent supe riority of such fertilizers over artificial manures theoretically as good. A spring wheel for road engines has been devised by Mr. Isaac W. Boulton, an English mechanic. The rim of the wheel is divided into cells containing loose-fitting wooden blocks, which pro ject slightly beyond the face of the wheel and are bedded at the inner end against some elastic sound-deadening material such as felt. Wheels so made do not slip, are comparatively noiseless, and cut the road less than the old wheels. The Amir of Afghanistan sleeps in a plain tent, eats but one substantial meal daily, with fruit as his only other re freshment, and rarely smokes more than two cigarettes in the day. He is passionately fond of field sports, and is a first-class shot His rifle rarely leaves bis side, and often when he is holding his durbars in the open air he will take up his gun and shoot at any bird or beast that comes within range. African explorers risk their lives, but if they reach civilization they make the venture pay largely. Stanley has madcaa fortune ont of his books, Bur ton is a rich man and H. H. Johnston, the explorer of the Upiier Congo, be came wealthy as the result of hit travels. Joseph Thompson, whom the i Sultan of Zanzibar outlawed becanse he could not find a coal deposit, made a fortune by lecturing on the Dark Conti nent. The ancient copper mines on Lake Superior are stated by Prof. Newberry to have been abandoned not less than four hundred years ago, as is proven by the growth of forest trees over the rub bish heaps; and' the old mica mines of North Carolina and the serpentine quarries of the Allehanies show like evidences of antiquity. The oil-fields, also, seem to have lieen worked in pre Columbian days. Bemains of an ancient oil well were found at Titnsville, Pa., in 1860, and traces of a similar well were observed at Enniskillen, Canado; while depressions seemingly marking old pits have been noticed at various places. Bums of an ancient lead mine exist near Lexington, Ky., and galena Iras been found in the old works in Ohio. For some time past the Chicago papers have printed strong and well written articles signed "Pat Grant, rail road laborer."' The Western Journal ist says that Mr. Grant is still at work on the raiload. and the statement causes the Boston Advertiser to remark "if no Chicago editor has been bright enough to offer him a position it speaks badly for the capabilities of the manag ing " editors of that city." This little item shows how easy it is for u man to enter journalism when be has the right kind of ability. It is a pro fession open to all the world. No intro duction is required. Money and in fluence will not aid a recruit He may be a day laborer like Pat Grant, but if he has something to say, and can say it in a way that will interest all the world, the newspajers will print his articles, and editors a thousand miles distant will quote him, and make a place for him if he is willing to take it It is the rule with most banks to do no business with absolute strangers, and to require identification or at least references. Sometimes when a man wants to open an account he resents very bitterly the demaud for an intro duction. If he would only consider tbe matter he would see how very important therqle'K There are many reasons for it, bqt the chief is to prevent a scheme which ha frequently proved jUPCCh&f b1. A rnemlw of ibt 5 wU open an account, and pay in and draw checks in a most regular manner for several months. Then one day he will happen to be present when a stranger presents a large check, the two will recognize each other as old friends, and the rogue with an account will identify the rogue with the check, which may tarn ont to be a forgery. With all pre caution as to introduction and identifi cation, frauds are possible, bnt without them frauds would be simple and easy, and, as a natural result, frequent T. P. Smtthes, who has made some important geological discoveries in In diana, stated to an Indianapolis xer porter: "There is a great lake under a part of Indiana, as yon are already prob ably convinced. I have explored it. I was sinking a well on my place in Orange County, when suddenly one drill knocked a piece out of the liottom and disappeared. Through the open ing cold, clear water rushed, filling the well to the depth of twenty feet At this level it stands. 1 have pumped water for hours, using a steam engine once, and the water does not lower an inch. One day I drew up a fish in a backet of water. I had heard neigh bors tell of subterranean fish, but this was the first I had seen. I have it here in alcohol. As yon see, it is eyeless." The fish was small, of reddish color, and almost transparent , Holding it be fore the light one could count every bone in the fish. The part of the State where the underground lake exists is hilly, full of gulches and caves. It is there that Lost Biver, a considerable stream, gradually sinks away and finally disappears altogether. A few miles west, at Orangeville, a great IkmIv of water (commonly believed to be a lost river) gushes from the earth. It foams and gushes against the rock and comes forth in sufficient power and quantity to furnish power for a mill. A TWO-CENT SWINDLE. Unique .Method of Cliealius; Uncle Sam Out or Postal Dues. . "A man who would beat the Govern ment out of postage is pretty smalL But the fact that it is comparatively easy to avoid the payment of such a nominal postage tax by taking advan tage of a department regulation has led to such swindling where you would hardly expect it," said Frank T. Smith, a well-known down-town clerk, who used to be in the postal service, to me yesterday. "Eachyear,"' he continued, "the num ler of letters dropped into the pockets at the Postoffice without the necessary stamp affixed is surprisingly large, and every succeeding postmaster has en deavored to devise some way of pre venting such accumulations. Much de lay has been .caused by this seeming negligence or carelessness, and the services of several clerks have been em ployed in ascertaining the names of the senders of this mail. The department rule is to return all such moil for post age, and where business addresses ore not printed on the envelopes ihe seal has to be broken to get such names. The fact that such is the rule has de veloped a picayune style of swindling. Two down-town brokers, it is said, have carried on a correspondence for several months without investing a cent in postage. Their method of mulcting the Government is unique. For instauce, Mr. John Smith wishes to communicate with Mr. James Jones. The address on the envelope will read: : If not delivered iu : :tcn days return to : :Janies Jonos, : ; James street. : : Now York City. : John Dok, : Broadway, : : city.. : "No stamp it affixed, and when the clerks, in sorting the moil, discover this letter they toss it to one side, after first stamping'it in red ink, "Beturnedfor postage." Naturally the postal clerks believe that Mr. Jones is the sender, and the letter reaches him. The ad dress John Doe, is of course fictitious. In this way they have kept np a corre spondence for months, and Uncle Sam's gray coats have been performing mes senger service gratis. Xew York Star. A Curious Picnic. A sort of a picnic popular in some Southern towns rejoices in the name of "soups." It is held in the open air. Every person invited brings a dressed chickeu. The" host provides the veg etables. The chickens and vegetables are put into huge kettles, holding ten to twenty gallons, and cooked over open fires- for several hours, until the combination is reduced almost to a jelly. Pepper and other seasoning are introduced. The young folks stir the sonp viitli longhand led spoons, walking around the kettle as they stir. When a girl's spoon clicks against the spoon of a young man he is lxmnd to catch and kiss her. Consequently there are many lively scrimmages around the kettle. When cooked the soup is ladled out and eaten. It is said to be delicious. The? Hail Agreed to Disagree. A jury iu a jetty case before Becorder Smyth yesterday had been out of court delilterating for a long time, and the Bet-ardor finally sent for them. They took their places and Edward Hall, the clerk, called their name. Have yon agreed upon a verdict ?" the clerk asked. "We have, your honor," said the fore man, vising. "How say you?" the clerk continued. "Do von find the defendant guilty or not guilty" "We find," the foreman auswered, "that we stand seven for acquittal and five for conviction." "Then you haven't agreed," the Becorder said. "You may be discharged if you cannot agree." The intelligent foreman and his as sociates retired and the ieculiar verdict was not recorded.

Berlin Tageblatt. Practical HetneBHtratiea. "I understand," said a handsone young woman, entering the printing office, "that you employ only girls and that you are in need of a forewoman ?" "Yes," replied the printer, "Can you make up a form?" "Just look at me and see," she an swered, turning herself around. She was engaged. Hi AfliictieB. "We all of us have some affliction or other," said the landlady. "Come, tell us, Mr. Sliman, what is vours?" "My affliction," said Mr. Sliman, as he gave a wistful glance at tbe meager contents of the bread plate, "my afflic tion is a good appetite." The conversation was dropped, ' iTisthe'tiuaiipned vonun smiths thick hflidcd man who roftk tUfJ ibf A CHICAGO JOEEB. He Kearlj BetkenthelifeOfitera Street carves Joha Doaaelly, of Adaks street, took a Mas advaatage of a West Side street car conductor tbe other day. He boarded a car for the West Side just after it had been emptied of its load of holiday buyers and turned aroand the loop on its np trip, and, aster Inishing his cigar on the front platform, he started through to the rear. It was aa old. rickety car. which had been hauled ont of the barn'to do doty as a trip per daring the holiday rush, and it was filled with musty old hay. An idea struck John just as the odor struck his nostrils. Beaching down into his overcoat pocket he polled out a natural-looking rubber rat and dropped it in the ttraw. Then he went ontside and complained of the con dition of the car to the conductor. "Such on old rattle-trap ought to be split up into kindling wood." he growled. "It's fall of rats." The conductor eyed him. sharply. as if wondering if he was bound for the Washingtonian Home. "Ihera are no rats in this car," he said. "Well," said John, "if you don't think so go inside and see." Now the conductor was sure he bait a patient, and he thought best to humor him. so he went inside. There, sure enough, was a rut. " Keep still a minute," the conductor whispered 'to John, aho hud fol!oed him iu. He can-tiou-ly reached under the seat and got a broom. Then he raised it aloft and brought it down on tbe rubber rat. The whistle in the toy gave a squeak and tbe condu tor proceeded to baste the file out of tbe bogus rodent. When he had tired himself out John picked up the rat and put it back in his pocket. Was the conductor ma 1 i Well! " You thiuk yer smart, don't you?" he muttered, savagely. "Only a joke, old man," said John, reaching out his hand to shake. As .the conductor made a mo tion to take it John uncoiled the rubber snake which he held and it shot out toward the 1 ell-punch man. He nearly fcli off tbe car, and he kept as far away irom Donnelly as possible during the rest of the trip. -Wht need it Ik;'.1" we say. and sigh When loint; mothers fade and die.
