-In a paper'on “Recent Ethnograph-
Zieal Work in Scotland,” read before the
:British association, Mr. Gray described
his observations on the color of tho
.‘hair and eyes of the schoolchildren of
East Aberdeenshire. The pigmenta- ‘
Qtion of the Scotch children was shown
lin a table and compared with the con- ._
ltinental districts, whence, according
Ito tradition-and history, the lowland -
3Scots derived a large element of their ,
population—viz; Scllleswig:llolstein,,‘
' :Lueneberg, and Meclllenbll‘rgSchiverin, f
'the reputed original seats of the Angles i
and Saxons. The tables showed that
Ethe three north German districts were
more 'bloude than East Aberdeenshire.
Germany got more- brunette and less ‘-
,blonde from north, to south; and we
must go as far as upper Bavaria to get
,al‘district approximating in pigmenta-
tion to East Aberdeenshire.

LITTLE THINGS.
Only a breath from an evening wind.
But it cooled a burning cheek, '
Only a violet in the path,
But it smiled on weary feet.
Only a drink from a wayside well.
From any old and rusty cup, .
But of service truer, who can tell,
. . Than that of the well and the sup?
Only the smile of a little child.
But it tempered the life of a man,
Until he was tender and gentle and mild,
And the lion laid down with the lamb
'Only a glance from stranger eyes,
When a heart was cold and dark,
But it brought back God, and the glad sur~
prise ' .
Turned the dead to a. living heart.

HE boom in the bunko market
caused by the easy separation 01
ear-Alderman French, of Brooklyn
from $5,000 of his good money by twc
expert youths was severely offset by
an occurrence in the Broadway Cen-
tral hotel in which a pair of the broth
erhood of bunko steerers figured re-
spectively second and third to John
Kasser, of Arizona. The pair invested
a little cash and considerable time and
trouble in Mr. Kasser, and, though he
didn’t pan out, they still have cause
for thankfulness that they are alive,
though battered. _
Mr. Kasser is superintendent of the
Live Oak :Copper Mining &. Smelting
company. with mines at Globe, A. ’1‘.,
and he is. here with his wife on busi-
ness. They are at the Broadway Cen-
tral.
tion. He is possessed of a slight ac-
cent, a blandly quiet manner, a. con-
fiding smile and a general aspect of
material but. nonmetropolitan pros-
perity.
When he comes to New York he
doesn’t follow the example of some of
‘ his western friends and east himself
madly into the embraces of a ready-
madc frock coat, a silk hat and a. new
pair of tan shoes with white laces; he
wears the same clothes that he wears
at home and goes about his business,
and if people infer therefrom that he
~ is from the west he makes no moan
over that. Globe he considers to be a
pretty good sort of place to come
frOm, and he isn’t ashamed of it.
For some time past there has been
hanging about the corridor of the
Broadway Central a gentleman pos-
sessed of a certain appearance of
slickness which has not commended
him to the favorable notice of the
clerks. So far as they were able to
discover, his sole occupation seemed
. to be to chew toothpicks, derived from
the hotel’s cigar stand, and watch the
(people in the lobby from the depths
of an easy chair. He was middle-aged,
plump and well dressed. The hotel
would have been glad to get rid of
him had opportunity offered. How-
ever, he only came occasionally, and
his behavior was not. such as would
warrant his ejection.
On a Tuesday morning this person
accosted Mr. Kasser, who was stand-
ing looking disconsolately out into the
rain. '
“Bad weather we’re having,” said
the man. “Have much rain in your
part: of the country?”
“Yes. I get used to pretty much all
kinds of weather,” replied Mr. Kasser.
“Going out,. I see,” continued the
stranger, glancing at the other’s um-
brella. “Going uptown?” .
Mr. Kasser turned upon him a beam-
ing look, but made no answer.
“What’s your line of business, any-
way?" continued the ”other, persua-y
sively. ' .
“My business,” responded the west-'1
crner, with a gentle smile, “is fact
yours." ,, ' :7"
“Oh, well, you needn’t be ofiended
just because I’m a stranger,” persist;
ed the other, looking semewhat hurt.
“What have you got against stran-
gers, anyway?” ‘ '
"‘Nothing in particular,” answered
the visitor, “but I come from the west,
you know, and I’vefzuheard that New
York was full of ‘bunko men and
swindlers.”
“0h, ho—ho! Ha-ha—ha! That’s rich!”
cried the other, slapping Mr. Kasser
on the back. "“You took me for a
bunko man! Why, I live right here
in the hotel. Thiey-all know me. Ha-
ha-ha! That’s pretty good!”
“Pretty good,” assented Mr. Kasser,
smiling at the other as if he were his
bosom friend. 1
“Well, if you’re going uptown—”
“I ain't,” said Mr.,Kasser, and he
walked out, chuckling.
Upon his return he saw nothing of
the effusive stranger, but when he
came down into the lobby the. next
morning there stood the man, well
groomed and smiling.
“Ah!” said the stranger, as Mr. Kas-
ser approached. “Just down? ‘ I’m
just through breakfast myself. Nice
day." -
To. this proposition the westerner
agreeds Then his friend invited him
into the cafe to show there was no ill
feeling, and after some conversation
they went in together, the stranger
sayingz‘ '
“After what you said about the bun-
ko business you can’t do less than
have a drink with me. Ha, ha, ha!
That was a good one!”
» “Yes,wasn’t it?” responded Mr. Kas-
ser. “But I don’t drink.”
“Well, come sit down and have 'a .
cigar," said the other, and led the
way to a table where sat a young man
with a protruding under jaw. a striped

and certain other evidences that he
wasn’t a minister of the Gospel. The
friendly stranger gave no intimation
that he knew this man,.but kicked
him as he sat dowu. As the man didn’t
rise up and wipe the floor with the
kicker Mr. Kasser decided that the
pair knew more about each other than
they seemed to know. Presently all
three were engaged in conversation,
Mr. Kasser answering all their ques-
tions about himself with a confiding
smile and accepting gracefully his
new friend’s invitation to smoke a. 25-
cent cigar. The other two men had
drinks'and the friendly manpaid for
them. Then said he to Mr. Kasser:
but I gue" you’re out for a good time,
eh i" . .
A slow, warm smile overspread the
westerner’s placid face.
“I thought so,” cried the other.
“There’s a. little game running uptown
' very quietly, and I can put you next.
Say, my friend,” he added to the man
on the other side of the table, “do you '
play cards?” ,
“Why, shoo-err-rr!” growled he oi
the protrusivc jaw. '
“Come on, then;.we’ll all go there
and: have 'a.‘ little" friendly game,” said"
the friendly man, blithely. _
He started to rise, but felt Mr. Kas-
scr’s hand on his shoulder- andrsaw
Mr. Kasser’s beaming smile ye'ry close
to his own face. '
' “Have you got a pencil?" asked Mr.
Kasser. ‘
“Pencil? Why, certainly. What do,
you want of it?” _
“I want you to write your name on
this piece of paper.” ‘
“What for? I won’t do it.”
The smile disappeared from the face ,
of Mr. Kasser. His hand slipped along
the shoulder of the friendly stranger
and settled on his collar. The friendly
stranger hastened across the floor to-
ward’ the ofiice, not because he particu-
larly wished to, but because avery‘mus-
cular arm was propelling him. The
"Dons THIS MAN LIVE HERE?"
third member of the trio came behind,
saying, hoarsely
“Leave ’im go. He’s me frent. Leave
’im go or I’ll soak yer!”
Mr. Kass-er landed his man in front. of
the desk and addressed the clerk.
“Does this man livehere ?”
‘lNo.9,
“You’re a liar, then,” said Mr. Kas-
ser to his captive. The captive strug-
gled. . '
“Ever see him here before?” Mr. Kas-
ser asked the clerk. '
“Yes, he’s been loafing around‘ here
i or some time.” I
“You’re a. bunko steerer and thief,”
said Mr. Kasser to the stranger.
Then he relaxed his grip and his fists
made a plugging sound upon the
plump features of the stranger. T’hat
friendly person 'lopped over the desk
and a, conveniently placed inkwell
caughtthe life blood that flowed. from
his'ld'isplaced nose.
Meantime the proprietor of the pro-
"truding jaw and the striped shirt was

ter (10. He was quickly relieved of all
unCertaiuty. Mr. Kasser reached him in
a jump, grabbed him-by the shoulders,
whirled’ him around and planted a
heart-felt kick. Thereupon the man
solved for a fleeing moment the prob'
lem of aerial navigation. He rose and
scared. When he landed and got his
feet going there was acurrent of air in
his wake-that blew'oflf the hats of two
men who stood nearby. Upon return-
ing for the other man Mr. Kasser dis-
covered only a crimson trail that led
out by the way of the cafe door. . Some
two dozen men who were scattered
about the lobby crowded around Mr.
Kasser and wanted to testify to their
appreciation by buying him drinks and
cigars, and the head clerk came around
to thank him for ridding the hotel of
the bunco man, ‘ '
When a Sun reporter saw Mr. Kasser
the other day and asked him about his
adventure, that gentleman rubbed his
chin and said he shouldn’t think a. little
thing like that. would, be of any interest
in a big city like New York. He ad-
mitted, however, that he had enjoyed
himself, and said that the cigar pre-
sented to him by his departed’ friend
was a very excellent one. - -
“I have got a little property of my
own,” said he, “not very much, but- a
little; and I suppose those two thought
they could get $5,000 or $6,000 out of me.
I am a. simple-minded western man,”
he added, and paused, contemplatively.
“A simple-minded western man, but,"
he concluded, smiling benignantly, at
the toe of his right boot, “I have beer.

is only 32 years old, yet he has lived

moving to Tacoma, in Washington, at
24. At 31 he beat James Hamilton

of the last congress, on a gold stand-

lican of purest ray serene. He came
to Washington heralded as the Abra-
ham Lincoln of the Pacific slo’pe. And
he looks the part. That is, he looks
as Lincoln probably did at Cushman’s
age. He is tall, lank and as homely
as a rail fence. He is fluent and forci-

old he had, entirely by his own ef-
forts, learned to read, and at 15 se-

quired a. good common. school educa-

that in the course of a single evening
he could memorize three or four chap-
ters of the Bible. He was licensed to
preach when he was 20 years of age,
and soon afterwards studied Latin,
Hebrew and Greek, becoming profi-
cient» in all. In 1862 he became pastor
of thelargest colored church in Wash-
ington, D. 0., and in 1863 was appoint-
ed chaplain in the army by Presi-
dent Lincoln, being the first colored

1880 he was elected bishop of the
Methodist church. Bishop Turner,

. Where Soap In Unpopnlnr-
In spite of British rule, India is vir-
tually a soapless country. Throughout
the villages of Hindustan soap is, in-
deed, regarded as a natural curiosity,
and it is rarely if ever kept in stock by
the native shopkeeper. In the towns
it is now sold' to a certain extent, but
how small this is may be gathered. from
the fact that the yearly consumption
of soap in India is about 100,000 hun-
dred-weight; that is to say, every 2,500
persons use on: an average only 112
pounds of soap among them; or, in
