English doctors eay that the harsh

It is estimated that there are over
8,000 families who live in shanty boats
along the Ohio River, floating from
town to town with the current, tying up

A New Jersey man made affidavit
that he shook hands with George Wash
ington. It was then discovered that he
was not born until eleven years after
Washington's death. He says there
must be a mistake somewhere as to
when the great man passed away, and
that history is probably about thirty

The editor of the Weflc, aper pub

"Br George! Mary, bntlhavejnst
dreamed that the store was on fire!"
said a Cincinnati merchant as he awoke
the other night; and half an hour later
word came that his establishment had

A sick woman of Huntingdon County,
Indiana, expressed a strong craving for

When the members of the Minnesota
Legislature visited the State Prison the

A writer in a ladies' journal has a
word of encouragement for girls who
lament having red hair. The Cather
ines, who made Russia great, had red
hair; so had Maria Theresa, who saved
Austria and made it the empire that it
is; so had Anne of Austria, who ruled
France for so long; so had Elizabeth of
England and Catherine Borgia, as well
as Marie Antoinette, whoe blonde
tresses had in them a glint of gold.
Salmon generally attain a length of
from three to four feet, and an average
weight of twelve to thirty pounds, but
these limits of size and weight are
frequently exceeded. The heaviest Tay

the biggest fish taken with a rod and

which fell to a'former Earl of Home.
A stone glowing at white heat fell

The smell of paint may be taken
away by closing'up the room and setting
in tho center of it a pan of lighted char
coal, on which has been thrown some
jnniper berries. Leave this in the room
for a day and a night, when the smell
of the paint will be gone. Some per
sons prefer a pail of water in which a
handful of Jury is soaking. This is also
effectual in removiug the odor of to
bacco smoke from a room.
A storekeeper at Glenmoore, Mont
gomery County, Pennsylvania, recently
had two dozen boxes of axle grease
stolen from his place, and making an in
vestigation traced the theft to some
Hungarians employed in a neighboring
quarry. He visited their lints one day,
and was shocked to find a box of his
axle grease on the table and the Hun
garians eating it on their bread in the
place of butter with great gusto.
An aged widow of Westport, Conn.,
was stricken with paralysis two years
ago. Her condition presents a case
that is puzzling the physicians. Her
left nide is entirely useless and she has
lost the power of speech. Her eyes
never close, but she pays no attention
to vi.-itor., and enly at a times to
members of the family. For days at a
time, after jassiug into a comatose
state, she resembles very much a dead
person.
The first organized Oklahoma raid, it
is f aid, was made at night on April 13,
1880, by thirteen men, two of whom as
guides marked the trail by placing old
buffalo skulls at prominent ridges, so
that the route is known to this day as
Hog's Back Trail. A location was selected
on April 22. A city six miles square in
area was surveyed and three houses
built, and then on May 15 came Lieut.
Pardee with twelve soldiers and twelve
Indian scouts from Fort Reno and ar
retted the whole party.
C.uu.i: dispatches recently published
gave an incorrect explanation of the
forwarding to Cuba of some 6,000 sol
diers from Spain. It was stated that
they were sent to Havana to re-enforce
the army there with a view to suppress
ing revolutionary movements which
might be in preparation. It appears
that there is nothing unusual in the
military operation mentioned above.
Under the heading of "Re-enforcements
for the Army" a Havana pajer, the
Diario de la Marina, says: "Much
comment has been made in regard to
the approaching arrival of a certain
number of soldiers who are merely
desiined to fill up the usual ranks of
the army. This is only a governmental
measure, which is taken every year and
which does not excite the attention of
anybody. It is not a thing of an extra
ordinary character, and it is proper that
all should be reminded of this."

A patent-medicine man drove his
team upon the public square of a coun
try town, tossed a silver dollar into the
crowd that quickly gathered, and loudly
declared that he could cure every ill to
be found in medical advertisements.
"I have here, gentlemen," said he, hold
ing up a small bottle, "somethiug that
will astonish you all. If there is a dull
man in the crowd I will make him
sharp; if -there is a sick man I will
make him well. Of course, you havo
all been fooled many a time, but if I
deceive you I will patiently submit to
the ungraceful performance of riding on
a rail. Here you old gentleman, you
look feeble. Come and take a swallow
of this medicine, and if it dont make
you feel better I will give you my
wagon and team. Come, don't be
afraid."
The man stepped up and took a swal
low of the medicine. "Don't it make
you feel better i the medicine man
asked.
"Hanged if I don't believe it do. Give
me another drop."
btep right up, gentlemen, and for
$1 get a bottle of the wonderful elixir.
Most wonderful discovery known to the
world. Had its disoovery been early
enough. Andrew Jackson would be liv
ing to-day. Here, old gentleman, 1
warrant yon that I can lighten your
footsteps. Here, take a swallow."
The last man addressed was a well-
known character in the town. He took
a swallow, and, when asked if he did
not feel improved,shook his head slowly
and, turning to the crowd, said : "Boys,
there ain't no foolishness about this
stuff. Gimme a bottle."
Then there began a rush for the medi-
1 cine. Jften scuttled lor places, and the
vender saw witn pleasure that some of
his customers emptied their bottles and
then came after more. Late that even
ing, when the town marshal found most
of his neighbors drunk, he realized that
the shrewd fellow had been selling
whisky and orange juice. The fellow
had gone. Arkansaw Traveler.
A Playwrlter's tuck.
A man with his trousers in his boot
tops and a whip in his hand called a4
the box office of one of the detroit the
aters the other day, and, after fumb
ling about in his pockets for awhile,
brought out about a dozen sheets of
foolscap pinned together and said:
"Here's a play my daughter writ au'
composed all by herself. What are you
paying this spring?"
"The price is way down," replied the
courteous attendant
"Too manv iu the market I suppose?"
"That's it"
"Wall, this is a stepper of a play and
no mistake. Four murders in it, and
no end of love and banging around."
"I see, but I don't think we could
use it"
"House gets afire, and the heorine
puts it out with cider," continued the
man. " Work in cider and fire and you
are sure to hit everybody. I suggested
the cider myself."
"Yes, but I told you, the price is
way, way down."
"I expect so. How much'll ye give ?"
"I am ashamed to make you an offer."
"Pooh ! Don't be afraid of hurtin' my
feelins! Jest go right ahead and say
what ye'll give."
"Well, sir, plays are such a drug in
the market that I couldn't offer yon
over over twenty-five cents really
couldn't do it"

"It is well enough for people-to tell
me that I am looking younger than
ever, aaid William J. Florence, come
dian, recently, "but I am not to be
fooled with that kind of flattery. I am
getting along in years yes, Tm a spring
chicken no longer."
"Thafsthe way Billy talks nowa
days," said Mr. Joseph Jefferson, "yet
he is two years younger than I am."
"And you're no spring chicken,
either," retorted Mr. Florence. "No,
we've got to make np our minds, Joe,
that descrepit age is stealing upon us.
It isn't the pleasantest food for reflec
tion, but it becomes a man who has
lived threescore vears."
"The first intimation I had that I
was no longer young," continued Mr.
Florence, "was last summer when I
made an excursion up the Thames with
a select party of London club-men.
Lord Charles Fitzlush and Sir Alan
Geoffrey Gosh induced me to go in
fact lot of the Garrick club boys got
after me, and well, what could I do
or say? of course I had to go along.
The day after we returned or, rather,
the day we were brought back from
that boat ride Sir Alan came around
to see me at Morley's. I was still abed;
I contemplated staying there forever; I
felt, oh! indescribably wretched. But
Sir Alan was brisk as a lark. As he en
tered the room he stopped.
" 'Excuse me,' said he, 'I thought
this was Mr. Florence's room. I beg
your pardon.'
" 'Come in, Sir Alan,' said L
" Beg your pardon, but have I - ever
mot you before?' asked Sir Alan.
"He was not joking; be was in dead
earnest What ailed him, Iwondeied.
" 'Aha, good joke,' said I, trying to
be merry in spite of the Omaha flavor
in my mouth and a high-altitude pres
sure in my head. 'Aha, good joke; but
come now, I say, old fellow, let's be
serious.'
" 'It is you, after all, isn't it?' ex
claimed Sir Alan. ' Ton me honor, I'd
never have known you but for your
voice. You've changed so beastly much,
old man, don't you know.'
" 'Egad, have I?' says L and for a
fact I felt changed. Had never had
those Omaha and high-altitude symp
toms before. Crawled out of bed, tot
tered over to the mirror, and looked at
myself. Then pinched myself to see if
I was dreaming.
" 'Send for a doctor,' says I, crawling
back into bed and pulling the clothes
up over my head. Sir Morrell Mac
kenzi came. 'Sir dock,' eays I, 'what
ails me? I never was so before I weut
boating on the Thames with those Gar
rick Club boys.' I showed him photo
graphs of myself taken only a fortnight
before; he sounded my lungs, listened
to my heart, looked at my tongue, felt
my pulse, and tested my breath with
medicated papers.
" 'As near as I can get at it,' said he
at last, you are a victim of misplaced
confidence. You have been training
with the young bucks when you should
have been ploughing around with the
old stags. You must quit it Other
wise it will do you up.'
"Well, now, that was the saddest day
of my life; just think of shutting down
on the boys after being one of them for
sixty years! But Sir Morell told the
truth. The Garrick Club boys were
terribly mad about it; they said Sir
Morell was a quack and they adopted
resolutions declaring a JacK of confi
dence in his professional skilL But my
mind was made up. 'Billy,' says I to
myself, 'you must letup. You've made
a record; it is a long one and an honor
able one. Now you must retire. Your
life henceforth shall be reminiscent and
its declining years Bhall be hallowed by
the refulgent rays of retrospection.' To
that resolution I have adhered steadily.
People tell me that 1 am as young as
ever, but, no they cannot fool me I
know better."
"Just to illustrate the folly of all
that talk," said Mr. Jefferson. "I'll tell
you what I saw last night. When I re
turned to the hotel after the play I weut
up and found Billy and the President
of the Philadelphia Catnip Club at sup
per. What do you suppose they had?
Stewed terrapin and franped cham
pagne." "That's all right enough," explained
Mr. Florence. "Terrapin and cham
pagne never hurt anybody; I have had
'em all my life. What I maintain is
that people of my age should not and
cannot indulge in extravagances of diet
The utmost simplicity must be the
rule of their life. If Joe would only
eat terrapin and drink champagne he
wouldn't be grunting around with dys
pepsia all the time. He lives on boiled
mutton and graham bread, and the
public calls him 'the revered veteran
Joseph Jefferson.' -1 stick to terrapin,
green turtle, canvasbneks, and the like,
and every young chap in the land slaps
me on the back, calls me Billy, and re
gards me as a contemporary. But I
ain't; I'm getting old. not too old, but

Do Vou Scan Your HIIIh?
The other day a gentleman of this
city, who is well known for his wealth
and social prominence, happened to
take up the biil of a leading dry gords
firm, as it tas lying on his office table,
and glanced over the items. This is a
very rare proceeding on his part. He
usually gave a check, and then filed tho
bill withont examining it. This pro
ceeding was not business-like, but ho
lir.d perfect confidence in his wife, and
lIso in the dry goods firm. Bnt on this
cccasion he looked over tle items, and
he saw his wife was a devotee to black
silk. He couldn't remember that his
wife woro a great many silk dres?ej,
and that seemed odd under the circum
stances. When he arrived home he jokingly
said to his wife that she onght to be
able to rent black silk dresses.
Naturally tho spouse asked him what
he meant He told her. She declared
that she hadn't bought a black silk
di ess for a year, and asked to see tho
Liil. Her Lnsband handed it over,
when she identified more than half of
tho items a incorrect; that U, she had
never had those goods.
The husband went to the store and
interviewed the head of the firm. That
gentlemen re'errcd the matter to the
bcokLeejer, who howed all the items
charged properly on the books. Then
the c'erl; who old the goods was seen.
Site remembered the black silk sales
j erfectly. The goods were bought by
ayour.g lady who said :-lie was requested
to get them by the gentleman's wife.
"Could .-he rec gnize the lady?" "Oh,
certainly !" said tho clerk.
Tho next diy the gentleman again
called. "Glad to see you," said tho
pro;rietr, "the lady is here. There
she stands." The gentleman looked,
a:.d, lo and behold, the lady was an
iutiatate friend of his wife and a lady
whose parents are wealthy. Subse
quent developments showed that this
was a nice little game on her part Sue j
ascertained who of her friends bought j
their goods by bill, which was paid try
their larents. The scheme wouldn't
have worked with ladies who had allow
ances of their own. With the most ofj
them she only made occasional small I
charge, like gloves, cuffs, collar, or j
little lingerie, but where she found that ;
bills were not closely inspected, i-hs j
plunged in deeper. Among parties who j
know of the matter, the affair has!
caused a deep sensation. We hear it '
stated there is not the slightest ptf-b-'
ability the case will be brought to tria.'. ;
The affair has bees settled, and thej
lady will probably make aa extendel

"You are making a great ado aboat
the forests yon are trying to save from
the onslaughts of the lumbermen," said
a prominent lumber operator of Wes
tern Pennsylvania to a reporter, an re
lated by the Mis$iH8ippi Valley Lum
berman, "but if you could see some of
the forests I saw three weeks ago in the
Guyan river region in West Virginia,
the Adirondack woods would look like
picnio groves to you. I saw a raft of
new pine logs start down the Guyan
river, one of the first that ever went
out of that wilderness, the smallest log
of which was three feet in diameter and
eighty feet long without a not There
were logs in that raft five feet through
and 110 feet long. There are miles and
miles of forest containing trees like
these, where the sound of the woods
man's axe has never yet been heard.
Besides that, yon may ride all day
through forests of oak, walnut, cherry,
ash and poplar, just as unbroken as
they were when the aborigines roamed
in tbeir depths, although they were
not 100 miles from Wheeling. The
few settlers who have had the hardi
hood to push into that mountain wild
erness split np magnificent walnut,
cherry, ash, and poplar logs for fence
posts, rails and firewood. I saw a
fence around a settler's cabin that in
the log would have been worth $3,000
at least, if it had been in some one's
lumberyard. The cabin was laid np
with Walnut logs, each one of them
not worth less than $100 provided
that it had been possible to get them to
market . It looked tough to see these
mountaineers burning up a fortune
in their fireplaces every month, but
there was no kolp for it I saw oak
trees there eight feet in diameter and
over 100 feet high. There is no way
of getting that valuable timber out of
that isolated and almost pathless region,
but if the day ever comes when com
munication can bo bad between it and
a market, those forests will be a
source of untold wealth to somebody."
J.ookln' After l'ete.
Just at the top of a long hill, as we
had stopped tho horse to breathe, a
farmer came up. He was at least 65
years old, being very gray and
wrinkled, and he was so decrepid that
he had to use a staff.
"Say, you, have you seen anything of
my son Pete alonp- here?" he called, as
he stopped at the buggy wheel.
"Wo haven't met anybody on foot
this morning. How old is he?"
" 'Bout 42, and tix feet high."
"Where was he going?"
"He's run away. Packed up his duds
and slid out afore I got up ibis morn
ing the ongratefnl rascal! I didu't
believe that of Pete."
"Why, he was of age."
"Makes no difference. " alius kept
him at home, and alius mean to. He's
bin gittin' board and lodgings right
along, and last summer I let him sell a
whole sheepskin to a peddler and keep
the money. He's got to come back or
I'll know the reason why!"
"You can't bring him back, can
you?"
"Can I! Don't you figgor that I
can't! I think he took the next cross
road and made a bee line for Spooners
ville. I'm right on his track, and I'il
follow him up. When I find him I'll
take both hands hold of his collar like
this and I'll rattle his jawbones like
this and I'll lay him on his back and
lamb thunder out of him for about fif
teen minutes. Then I'll walk him
home, and you orter be around and see
them stumps grubbed out and them

Tidal l'oiter.
It is proposed to construct largo
basins in France by which the power
available from the rise and fall of the
tides can be utilized. No excavation
would be necessary. The method pro
posed is to have two basins separated
by a bank rising above high water,
within which turbines would be placed.
The upper basin would bo in communi
cation with the sea during the higher
one-third of the tidal range, rising, and
the lower basin during the lower one
third of the tidal range, falling. The
turbine proposed is of an improved
model, designed to utilize a large flow
with a moderate diameter. Illustra
tions are given of one designed to pro
duce 300-horse power, with a minimum
head of five feet three inches, at a speed
of fifteen revolutions per minute, the
vanes having thirteen feet internal di
ameter. The speed would be main
tained constant by regulating sluices.
It is proposed to establish power sta
tions of this kind on both banks of the
Seine near Honfieur and Havre respec
tively. On the left bank the surface
available would be nearly 2,500 acres,
and the tidal range varying between ten
and twenty-six feet; 3,000 horse power
could be realized at neap tides, and 9,000
horse power at springs. The cost of
the special works necessary is estimated
at .72,000, or 12 per mean horse power
developed on the turbine shafts. It is'
estimated that the government would
bo woll repaid if it charged customers
$1 12s. per horse power, on turbine
shaft, per annum. Steam power costs
at Havre, on the average for small fac
tories, about 24 per horse power per
annum. London Engineer.
A Nice Ethical Quontlon.
The doctor troubles himself very lit
tle, I imagine, about the relative deserts
of his two patients. Each is a "case"
to be treated on its merit?. But all the
same there is a striking difference be
tween the two usc3 to which tho science
of medicine is put The physician pre
scribes equally for the hard-pressed,
poor man who seeks strength in order
that he may support his family, and for
the self-indulgent free liver, who comes
to be cured so that he may take up a
fresh course of dissipation. I once
heard a heated discussion between a
doctor and a lawyer as to tho relative
dignity of their respective calling, in
which the latter declared, as his pro
fession one of the chief uses of which
was to enable the man who had eaten
and drank too much to cat and drink
still more. Uo.sion Fost.

People who are s!y s-hould also be

somewhat given to curiosity, inquired,
upon returning from a visit ono after
noon: "Did the carrier ieavo any mail,
Mary?"
"Nothing but a postal-card, ma'am."
"Whm is it fiont, Maty?"
"A"nd did you think I'd lie reading it,
ma'am?" said the girl, with an injured
air.
"Perhaps not; but any one who sends
me messages on postal-cards is stupid
and impertinent that's all."
"You'll excuae me, ma'am," said the
servant, loftily, "but that's anice, purty
way to be taluin' about your own

Win He the Blah
Wheat la the wealth asaker of the fatare.
It has beam toe cheap to produce for tweaty
years. She other extreme la apoana. Ooa
aaaaptlOB of wheat has overtaken lto pro
dactton. There are ao aaore goverameat
acres to subdue for Its production and the
lad ease to population of the world increases
lto consumption over thirty aallllon bushels
per year, la the near futmre wheat will
aell In the farmer's granaries at from two to
three dollars per bushel.
It la gratifying to have tnlsYieweua
talned by such aa eminent authority as
Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, who
la at the head of the largest flour mllla la
this country, If not in the world. His posi
tion as one of the largest cash buyers of
wheat In America makes It necessary that
he should keep thoroughly Informed as to
all the conditions which are likely to affect
the market price of wheat and flour. Prob
ably no one In the United States has made
a deeper study of all phases of the wheat
question, or Is better Informed as to all the
sources and statistics of Its production, the
relations of supply and demand aad all
the conditions of the market than he.
O. Wood Darts, In a recent elaborate arti
cle In the Arena declared that the consump
tion of wheat throughout the world had al
ready OTertaken production, and that at so
early a date as 1895 the United States will
have ceased to export wheat, and, in fact,
would have to Import It to supply Its own
deficiency. The St. Paul Pioneer Pros, stim
ulated by the statement of Mr. Davis, caused
Mr. Pillsbury to be interviewed, and the
latter agreed with the Arena writer that the
consumption bad In fact overtaken the pro
duction and that there had been no Increase
of acreage of wheat to correspond with its
increased consumption in ten years.
This will be gratifying news to those who
have been producing wheat for the last de
cade at ruinously low prices. They ought
to have a benefit, and all signs of the times
are wrong If they are not going to.

by their habits of household cleanliness, and no stronger condemnation
can be expressed than "she keep3 a dirty house and a filthy kitchen." But
the struggle with dipt is often unequal. Tho -woman's weakness or the
