* How TO LIVE ON 87'CENTsAWEEK.
‘ A “(T513011 Minister Solves the Problem of
, Cheap Living.
There is one man at least for Whom
the present hard times have no terrors,
for he knows how to live on 87% cents
a week. This up—to-date professor of
Ucconomics is Rev. Miles Grant, of
Boston, an active, hard working evan-
gelist, who does not spare himself in
his work, and yet, though keeping
strictly-within the limit of the expen-
diture named, suffers neither physi-
cally nor mentally as a result of his
unique system.
= While at the‘ first glance it would
seem impossible that a full grown
healthy being could live well on such
a. sum per week, an examination of"
the Rev. Mr. Grant’s account of good
things will convince one to the con-
trary. Here is his list of articles,
many of which can be easily varied
and still keep within the fixed limit.

"As to the times of eating he re-
marks: In my early life I ate when-
ever I felt an appetite for food, which
might be a dozen times a day. I be-
came satisfied that this habit would
lead to the ruin of health. For thirty-
five wears I have eaten but two meals
a day, and nothing between meals. I
take breakfast at 8 o’clock, and dine
ner about 3 o’clock. I have no desire
for food except at these hours. '

“A. TERRIER’S REl/ENGE.
Summoned His Faithful Friend and 011-
tained Satisfaction.
This dog story was told to a. New
York Mail and Express reporter by a
lady who vouchcs for its accuracy. Re-
markable as it is she affirms that it is
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.
An'up-the—State family had two dogs,
a bulldog and a black-and-tan, between
which there existed every evidence of
deep friendship. The family went into
the country one summer some sixteen
miles from home. They took the black-
and-tan with them but left-his compan
ion at home. They had not been. es-
tablished in their summer quarters
more than a few days before the small
dog had managed to pick a quarrel
with a neighbors bulldog, in which
the blackaand-tan got much the .worse
of the argument. So much so that
when he disappeared after the battle
his owners were much worried. They
searc‘hed high and low but no trace
of that small dog could be found.
The next morning there was seen
coming up the mad side by side the
black and tan and‘his faithful compan-
The-two
marched straight past the hotel where
thefamlly were staying and halted in
front of the home of the black-and-
tan‘s enemy. In some unknown man-
ner the country bulldog was sum-
moned and immediately his city con-
temporary fell upon, him. The'strug-
gle was severe and prolonged, but the
The coun-
try bulldog was completely conquered
and retired in as good Order as possible
under the circumstances, The victor,
once his task completed, wheeled about
and without a stop retraced the six-
teen miles to home. The black-and-
tan crawled into the hotel with every
indication of complete satisfaction on
his diminutive countenance.
MILITARY TRAINING.
A Patriotic Spirit Fostered by its Use in
the Public Schools.
here are many good people who op-
pose m: litary training in the public
schools for the reason that, to them, it
suggests war, and they fear that~it
will promote a military spirit among
the boys. It would be equally benefi-
cial to the girls, but there is not the
same fear in their case. It should be
remembered, however, that if such a
sentiment were unduly fostered—of
which, with all the .couteracting influ-
ences in this country, there it little
flanger— it would be suppressed, for
the simple reason that there is no way
to exploit it. The embryo soldier can
no more go into the army than they
- can go West and fight the Indians.
There is 'no army for them to go into.
A few of them can join the State mil.
itia, but only a few, for that organiza-
tion is limited in numbers, and its-
1‘anks will be filled whether the schools
tearh militayr discipline or not. On
the other hand, the good eifects of the
drill in promoting physical stamina,
mental traimng and honorable ambi-
tions are great and manifest. It
would be well 'worth introducing if
only for its value in counteracting the
bad effects of unnatural positions,
poor 11:, ht and imperfect ventilation in
the schoolrooms.

THEY KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
~How Two Black Rascals Turned Thci1
Knowledge to Good Account.
1 Near one of the gates at the Union
Station as the long train from Chicagc
rolled in the othernight stood an old,
colored man. He was bent unde1
Time’s burden, and it was easy to im
agine that he was one of those relics
of the South; one of those picturesque-
characters of old plantation life thal
now live only in the memory.
The great engine was panting aftei
its long run, and amid the hustle and
confusion of the station the old man
seemed bewildered. Then, as the. pas-
sengers came through the gate, they
saw a little act of kindness that
touched a'tender chord of sympathy in
more than one heart.
Another colored man, who looked as
if he might be a porter, stepped up and
slipped a quarter in the old man’s
hand. Then he quickly made his way
off again, looking half— ashamed at his
action.
The old man stood looking at the
quarter with a smile on his wrinkled
old face, and the next man placed
another silver piece in his hand. The
other passengers followed suit, andthe
old hat had to come off to hold the
shower of coin.
Just then the policeman on duty at
the station saw the old fellow and
started toward him, but with more
agility than one would have given him
credit for, the old man ran in among
' the crowd and was lost.
Five minutes later two men were sit-
ting in a saloon in Seventeenth street
They were counting over a pile 01
small coins.
“Foah seventy-five, he! he! Golly,
gran’dad, didn’t I tell yer it’d fetch
’em? ’Pears lak all yer had ter do wuz

Poison that Dilikes You Laugh.
The strangest pbison in the world is
that used by the Indians of British
Columbia. This poison, which is used
on all their weapous in war-time, has
puzzled medical experts for years, and
no man has yet found an antidote for
It.
Unlike other poisons, this deadly
concoction plays strange freaks with
Ls victims. A person inoculated with
it is first seized with a longing to
laugh, and afterwards has a fit of mel-
ancholy. When these stages have
passed, the victim falls into a light
Heep. during which pains begin to rack
his body, and he dies after hours of
torture. '
The poison is concocted from a num~
ler of unknown herbs and barks, the'
secret .of which is carefully

Jayne Says His 1’ eputation “'a. as Damaged
to -t'1e E.te11t of $50, 000.
New York, Ap. 11 6.—Among the cases
upon the calendar cf the United, States
circuit court for the April term is a suit
brought in 1885 by Benaiah G. Jayne,
former customs officer, against Charles
and Arthur H. Scribner for $50,000, to
which amount Jayne says his reputa-
tion was damaged’ by an article in the
”History of the Last Quarter of a. Cen-
tury In the United States, ” published in
the September number of Scribner’ 5
Monthly in 1895.
The article, which was written by E.
Benjamin Andrews, president of Brown
university, Providence, was headed “In-
ternational Revenue Scandals, ” .and Mr.
Jayne, in his complaint, says that its,
statements in general were directed
1gainst him, and in instances he was at-
tacked especially by name.
“More notorious than the Washington
ring," said the article, “were the scan-
dals connected with the collection of the
revenues. Early in April, 1871, a. meet-
ing was held in New York to protest
against the revenue and moiety laws,
the latter adjective meaning that the
law gave to a. spy or informer one-half,
or a. moiety, of the property forfeited
to the government by fraud discovered
through such person’s agency. Under
these were repeated instances cf tech;
nical forfeitures and condemn.._ion 011
the ground of constructive fraud owing
to some slight accidental mistake.
“A. T. Stewa1t is said to have been
at one time liable to a. forfeiture of 1H, -
)00,000 f01 an e1ror of $5 ’00. An infoimer
intimated to a revenue oflicertlla. v.11
unporter had defrauded the govern-
ment in the matter of duties upon im-
ports. The oils-tr then obtained a se-
cret warrant to seize the books and pa-
pers of the 1mporter, which was done.
The contingent rewards of the informer
were so e--ormous that every kind of
intrigue, deceit, subornation and
blackmail was practiced.”
The ponion of the article which Mr.
Tayne says was particularly damaging
to him said: “In one case a man nam-
ed Jayne, the most notorious of all the
informers, received nearly $70,000 for
his services. No wonder that he made
the utmost of every clew.’ He used to
say, ‘When I am fishing for trout, I
don’t throw away chubs.’ He was
:harged with downright blackmail, for
which. the power to seize private books
and papers gave him exceptional 01')-
portunities. he and his like scught to
stigmatize the entire mercantile class
The terror in
which the house of Phelps, Dodge &
Co. was long kept by the spies and
agents of the government would be in-
credible to most of our citizens now.
In their answer the Scribners say
the article was published for the public
benefit, that it was in all its principal
features true, and that when Jayne
appeared befOre committees of both
houses of congress “his testimony
showed he was the chief and most 110-
torious of informers."
