She reached the place. and catching he:

her : and. in a few frightened whispers.
told him the danger that threatened him.

Some instinct must have attracted tb .
lunatic‘s attention and conveyed to his mind.
the idea that they were speaking about him :
for. with a wild cry. he brandished the
scythe he held in his hand with threatening
gestures and shouts of frenzied fury. Then
he started toward them. Louis had stopped
Iork a moment previous. and was abou‘

man. Looking up. upon hearing the dis

was in danger. and. throwing himself direct-

about _thc~waist and clung to him. making
himself as much of a dead weight n possi-

In these terrible moments Hermione ilm‘

the whole world would lit‘lii‘r'lul‘lll be as

For long days afterward the youth's life
trembled in the balance. but at last his
naturally strong constitution triumphed and
ho begun to mend. tiny and llt‘i‘llllnlit‘ were
rarely absent from his bedside. and one day
Imuis surprised them by saying with a fal-
tering voice. while his pals lips parted in
half smile :

Guy smiled. Her indignation was so

sting of her words. Then, too. he did not

" Gently. Hermione.“ he said. “ or you

But Louis made no answer. He was for
the moment oblivious of the presence or

him. andhe was so exultautly. recklessly

“ I see. ‘Tis the old. old story." said

accomplished gentleman experienced in the
practical affairs of life. He had been brought
up to trade in his youth. had travelled and
wandered everywhere in mature life. The
best story Uncle Sam ever told me about
himself was how he learned in three weeks
to speak an Indian dialect. lie was the
owner of a ferry in California. as I recollect,
running it himself. He made a bet with a
miner that he could learn any Indian speech
in three weeks. An old Indian chief liv-
ing near Sam‘s cabin knew all the dialects
of the Califoniia tribes. Of course. he um
fond of firwwater. Sam supplied him in
limited quantities or just suilicicut to warm
up his old heart and loosen his tongue. and
then plied him with questions. “ It was
just a question of memory and flexibility of

three weeks I could have made myself un-
dcistood by any Indian in California.“

he looks younger. although the close—crop-

the same interesting personage. go to make
up n veritable museum of evidence by which
crime may be traced to its primary cause.

over the half-doses articles of food on his
plate at dinner and trying to recollect the
component parts of each : “ This is a

sugar by the act of mastication; therefore a

and, therefore. it also must be nearly all

mutton; it contains 44 per cent. of water.
the rest is fibrin and album. representing
22 per cent. of nitrogenous and 14 per cent.

TRE COMING GIANT-

 

Somc two weeks ago the cmwd of loiter-

struck dumb with amazement at the sight
of a colossal individual emerging from the
ferry gate. Ilcfon- any one of the crowd
had recon-roll from their instuiiishniellt the
giant ualkcd lpmily towards the next slip

crowd hung around the landing for some
time waiting for the rest of the circus. but
were disammiutcd. audit was soon ascer-

Ills height was variously caimated at from
eight to twelve feel. A Federal . oillcer
stated [suitivcly that it was Chang. the Chi-

local ordinances of most American cities,
whereby accident may be pieventcd or the
longevity of public improvements promot—
ed. Heavy teamsare driven at a terrific
speed over shaky wooden bridges. The
large number of bridges, together with the
rough usage, discourages the municipality
from making proper repairs. and there are
always a great many condemned and closed
bridges in the city. There are apparently
no sidewalk ordinances. and this is account-
ed for ordinarily by the fact that there are
no sidewalks to regulate. Every manner of
liberty is taken with the streets instead.
when the sidewalks are thus wanting.

Themes! incongruous spectacle is that
afforded by the presence of street—airs here
—--a feature peculiar to the capital city
alone. Likeall the foreign improvements
here. the street-car lines are English in
style; the cars having four or six wheels
and running upon tracks provided with a

doctors carry ancient-looking leather sat
chcls strapped over their shoulders from
which they sell tickets to all pascagers. to
be collected at the door as the passengers
quit the car. There are no bells on the
horses. but a horn hangs by the side of the
driver and the latter energetically touts it as
his horses dash along at a breakneck speed
down the street. Although these Japanese
pooh s are abused shamefully in order to
make them attain u speed satisfactory to
the driver (there are no humane societies in
I‘okio‘. the cars will stop sometimes for h 11
minutes at u crossing while the conductor
and driver wait for an imaginary load of
lauwugers without thc least concern or im-

It is a source of terror to the bravest per
son to rblu by any mode of conveyance
down some of flu-so narrow 'I‘okio streets.
Every coach and other vehicle carries a
horn in order to keep people on the look-
out. and thc streets are an interminable

able groceries. Not-kudos are frequent

FEMALE TENACITY OF LIFE-

It appears from the gathered statistics of
the world that women have a greater tenaci-
ty of life than men. Nature worships the
female in all its varieties Among insects
the male lwrislns at a relatively earlier
.K‘rll"‘. In plants the scuimatc blossoms
die earliest and aw produced on the weaker
limbs. Female qua-Irlilwtls Iii“ c more eu-
dnrancc than lli‘tlr‘S. In the human nee.
despite the intellectual and physical st rength
of the man. the woman endures longest.
and will bear pain to which the strong man
succumbs. Zymotic diseases are im -re fatal
tc males. and more male cliildrcu die than
females Dcverga asserts that the propor-
tion dying suddenly is about 100 worm-u to
“no men ; Low in the l‘uilcrl States in mu
committed suicide. to 2!?- wnnu-u. lutem~
pcrauce. apoplexy. gout. hydrocepbalus.
meetioiis of the heart and liver. scrofula.
paralysis. are far more fatal to males tluu:
females. Pulmonary consumption. on the
other hand. is more deadly to the latter.
Females in cities are more prone to con-
suniptiou than in the country. All old
countries not disturbed by emigration have
a great majority of females in the popula-
tion. In royal families the statistics show
more daughters than sons The Hv-bmiw

colored man is exceptionably short lived.
The married state is favorable to prolongs.
tion of life among women. Dr. Ill-ugh pro:
claims that there are from 2 to 6 per cent.
more males born than females. yet there are
more than 6 per cent. of females in the liv-
ing populations. From which statistics we
conclude that all women ought to marry.
and that as men are likely to become so
scarce they cannot be sufficiently prised by
the other sex.

rus enium's “THIRTY.”

 

The printers of a newspaper oflicc have a
significant. term for nearly everything con-
nected with their trade. They speak to an
extent in a language common to them
selves: and the novice or the apprentice
hasflrsttolearn thalanguageofthe print-
ers. and next the language of the types.
Among the words peculiar to the craft. the
word “ thirty " is perhaps most often used
and possessed of the mod- meaning. “ Thir-
ty“ is the end. It is what “ dais” 'u to a
book or death to an individual. When
“ thirty “ is melted. the weary compositor
drops his stick. The day‘s work is done.
How the term originated nobody seems to
know, but from the printer it has fallen to
the editor. and become a portion of the
education of the telegraph Operator who
handles pm reports. The last page of
“ copy “ from the editordn-chief bears the
” thirty." which indicates that the thoughts
concerningthenewacfoneday have been
presentedasfullyssrnaybe; thclestprocf
tromthcproofresdertellsthestory in the
appended “ thirty " that his day‘s work i
done; the “thirty“ from the city ‘editor
denotes the completion of the record of the
city‘s daily life, and the “ thirty“ on the
manifol' dimperreceivedfromthe telegraph
operator conveys the informafiou first the
story of its waking hours is finished.‘ -
