Don’t Be In a Hurry.
Don’t be In I hurry to answer yes or no:
Nothing's lost by being reasonably slow.
In a hasty moment you may give consent,
And through years of torment leisurely repent.
If a lover leeks you to become his wife,
Happiness or misery may be yours for life;
Don’t be in a hurry your feelings to confess,
But think the matter over before you answer yes.
Should one ask forgiveness for a grave offence,
Honest tears betraying earnest pentlnencc,
Pity and console him and his fears allay,
And don't be if: a hurry to drive the child away.
Hurry brings no worry; worry wears us out,
Easy-going people know what they’re about,
needless haste will bring us snrelv to the ditch.
And troubles overwhelm us if we hurry to be rich.
Don‘t be in a hurry to throw yourself away;
By the side of wisdom for a while delay.
Make your life worth living; nobly act your part ;
And don't be in a hurry .to spoil it at the start.
Don‘t be in a hurry to speak an angry word ;
Don’t be in a hurry to spread the tale you’ve
heard.
Don't be In a hurry with evil ones to go;
And don‘t be in I hurry to answer yes or no.

Curing the Invalid.
“ Good moring, Uncle Paul. How do
you feel this morning? Better, I hope,
said the cheery Voice of Paul Lattimer.
in he entered his uncle’s sick room.
“I am no better, thank you, George.
but I am as well as I shall ever be," an-
swered n. querelous,complaining voice
irom the depths of a large easy-chair.
“ There is no cure on this Earth for me ;
my malady is incurable."
“ Oh, come, come, uncle, this will
never do! All you need is exercise and
p‘easant company. Come and take a
ride with me this pleasant morning. It
“What! I take a ride? I go jolting
over those terrible roads in a miserable
buggy and on this cold morning? What
a heartless boy you are, and what. cold,
pitiless people this world contains 1"
And the invalid sank back among the
cushions of his easy-chair with a groan
and shiver. For although it was a warm,
bright day near the middle of J une, he
had a. firp blazing on the hearth, and a
heavy shawl folded about his shoulders,
and shivercd and compluiued as though
it- had been mid-winter.
“Forgive me, uncle ; I can sure I did
not mean to appear heartless, but quite
the reverse. I really drought the ride
would do you good,” said the young
man.
“Nothing will do me good," the lava-
lid replied with a heavy sigh and closed
eyes. “ Nothing will do me good. I
shall take but one more ride, and that
will be to the cemetery,"
Before his nephew could reply the
door opened, and a pale, delicate looking
lady entered, carrying a tray on which
was arranged as dainty and appetizing
a breakfastas one could- wish. It con~
sisted of tea, toast, broiled fowl and
poached eggs.
“My dear, I have brought- ycu some
breakfast, which I think you will relish.
I prepared it myself, and think it will
please you," said the lady, placing the
tray on the table by his side.
“ Good gracious, Many i What do
mean by bringing all that. food in here?
There is enough to supply two wood-
choppers. ”
“Why, my dear, I am sure there is
not. George could eat all I have brought
and not know he had brcakl'astcd at all,
and when you were well you could have
consumed twice as much. Come, dear,
try to take something. I know you will
feel much better for it," said the lady, in
a cheerful voice.
“Well! I wonder if I ever was well!”
said the sick man.
He made a feeble effort to raise him~
self in the chair, but failing in the at.
tempt, called his wife to aid him.
“Oh, don’t I" walled the invalid, turn-
ing toward his wife and holding up both
hands as if to ward off a blow, while the
young man fell back much alarmed.
“ Do not, I implore you ! Do not let
him touch me. He is so big and strong
that he will pull me to pieces. ”
“Oh!” Said George, in disgust; “is
that all? 1 really thought something ter-
rible had happened. " .
“All! Is it not enough? The very
weight of your hands would crush me to
the earth."
Being assisted by his wife into, the re-
quired position, he proceeded to the
task of eating his breakfast. He lift-ed
the teaspoon from the cup with a lan-
guid air, as if the weight was to much
for his strength, sipped a spoonful of
the beverage with a weary sigh, and
pushed the cup away. The toast fared
no better. A small bit of the egg was
eaten with a. little relish, but the fowl
was sent away untested.
“Take the tray’away, Mary ; I do not.
wish for any more." And he sank back
among the cushions with an air of the
greatest exhaustion.
"My dear, you have eaten nothing.
Do try a bit of the fowl ;it is excellent,
I assure you," said the lady. coaxingly.
“I dare say it is very nice.” the sick
man rcpliéd. "But. you surely do not
expect a dying man to eat ?”
The lady. seeing that further efforts
to induce him to partake of the food she
had brought would avail nothing, took
the tray and left the room, followed by
George. In thehall they were met by
the doctor, who was in daily attendance
on the invalid.
“How is your husband this morning,
Mrs. Inttimer ?"
"Well, doctor, I do not think he is
any better; indeed he declares himself to .
be rapidly sinking, and says he cannot
last many days. Are you quite sure his
illness is only imaginary; He is begin
ning to look badly."
“There is nothing the matter with
your husband, madam. absolutely noth-
ing, I assure you. Re is one of the
worst hypochcndriacs I have ever met.
It is not to be wondered at that he should
grow thin and pale, for he has not eaten
enough in the last month to keep a baby.
alive. What . he wants is fresh air, and
if he does not get it I will not answer for
his life. Fcr no human being can live
long in the atmosphere he is breathing."
“Can we not devise some plan of get-
ting him out of his room 3" said George.
“Do that, young man, and you will
save his life. If we can only get your
uncle out, I think we shall find little
trouble in keeping him out.”
So saying, the doctor passed into the
sick room, leaving George and his aunt
together.
A few days later George Lntimer en-
tered his uncle’s sick room, but this time
very softly, and with a very solemn
face.
s“How do you feel this mousing,
uncle f" inquired the young man, in a
subdued voice.
“ I am no better, George; indeed I am
sinking rapidly, and do not think I shall
be here this time next. week," came in a
faint voice from the depths of the easy-
chair.
"I am very sorry to hear this, uncle,
and we all regret it very much. I sup-
pose thero, is no remedy for your
disease ?"
“None whatever,” came from the
chairin so faint voice as to be scarcely
audible.
“You have made your will, uncle?
queried the young man.
“Well-mo," said the voice, a little
hesi=atingly, and perhaps a shade
stronger. “You see I have had no
time."
“Certainly not. I do not know how
some people can be thinking of their
own advancement when their best friends
are dying around them. Of course you
have had no time to attend to these
things, being employed in preparing
the soul for that better land, whither it
will take its flight in a few short hours, "
said George, in every mournful voice;
and then added, “I only asked because
your wife was very anxious to know."
“Indeed!” said the voice, gaining
strength. ,
“You see,‘my dear uncle, it is very
natural that your wife, knowing you to
be on your death bed, should want to be
provided for."
“ Certainly. "
“And if you die without a will, your
wife will not have sufficient to buy
mourning wit .” '
“My wife had better wait until I am
dead beforeshc purchases her mourn-
mg."
“But, my dear uncle, that is, accord-
ing to your own showing, a matter of a
very few days. If I remember rightly,
you said you should not be here at this
time next week.
“There is 9. possibility of oue’s being
mistaken, is there not ?"
The voice was now snappish and sat-
castic. '
“Not in your case, I am very sorry to
say. Of course we are all most deeply
grieved, and deplore your untimely fate;
but the best of friends must part." And
the young man put his handker-
chief to his eyes in the most becoming
manner.
“How very refreshing to knowone
will be so deeply lamented l I vow it is
almost enough to make one long for—"
“Your wife willof course mourn for
you, but time, the great healer, will
wear away her grief, and as she is young,
she may become consoled and marry
again. In the meantime, she must have-
something to live 011;" \
“Indeed! So you have the impru-
dence to ask me to dower my wife for
her second husband! Perhaps you
aspire to that place yourself? And the
dying man's voice gained strength so
rapidly as to rather alarm the nephew.
“My dear uncle—" began George.
“ We will dispense with that very en-
dearing appellation,.if you please.” said
the invalid, coming out of the depths of
the easy-chair without the least assis-
tance, and sitting quite upright.
'01) your wife; beside, there would be
but little chance for me,” in a. most in-
sinuating manner.
“ What do you mean ?" demanded Mr.
Latimer, in almost a shout.
“My dear uncle, you are agitating
yourself; be calm, I beseech you, or you
will not last through the day. "
“What do you mean P Explain your-
self this instant!” commanded the inva-
lid, in such a key as to show his lungs
were not effected.
“Do calm yourself, uncle, " said
George. “What difference will it make
to you three days hence ?" '
“ It will make a very great difference
to you in three minutes if you do not
explain yourself. Will you tell me what
you mean, sir, or I shall shoot you i”
The voice and manner were so deter-
mined, and the glance toward a pistol-
case so expressive, that the young man
felt it. would be better to speak.
“It is nothing, nothing, I assure you.
~ You know Dr. Sawyer was a great ad-
mirer of your ‘ wife in her girlhood, and
I must confess that his admiration has
not grown less in the past two months.
Why, I met them out riding this morn-
ing." George forgot to mention that
they were 111 Sepill'ittts can when, and
driving in opposite directions. ”And
his arm—" ‘
“The infernal scoundrell I’ll kill
him" yelled the dying man, snatching
up a pistol and bounding toward the
door, which he hung open, nearly run-
ning over his wife, who was just entering
the apartment.
“What is the matter?" said the lady,
glancing up in some alarm; and then,
seeing who it was, she began to scream.
“What is the matter? Run for the
doctor, some of you! He is dying—I
know he is dying! Oh 1 oh! oh! What
shall we do? Run for the doctor 1”
"Do run for that precious doctor,
some of you—do, and I will make him
think death has struck him!” said the
now rapidly convalescent patient, bran-
dishing his pistol in a furious and most
dangerous manner.
In the midst of the noise , who should
enter but the doctor.
“Can it be possible that this is the
patient I left a few hours ago, and who
declared himself to be inndying con-
dition 2” said he, in great astoniShment.
“What was the remedy, old friend?
It must have been something truly
wonderful. " _
“Don’t ‘old friend’ me, you scound-
roll It is not your fault that I am not
dead—keeping me on a sick bed with
your pills and plasters, while you made
love to my wife 1” And he handled the
pistol in such a careless mannerasto
rather alarm the doctor, who was forced
to retire with great precipitation until
that clumsy weapon could be coaxed
from his couvulescing patient.
“So this was your remedy, was it,
young man i" said the doctor, tuning to
George. “Well, I .must confess that
you have succeeded admirably, and have
cured 'my patient. Come, come, Loti-
mer, let us be friends again," he said,
turning to that gentlemen, and holding
out his hand in the most cordial man-
ner.
“I'll see you in the middle of—"
“Come, come, old friend,,dying men
should not be profane, Don’t. you see it
was all a trick to get you out of your
room, where' you would have died,
though not quite so soon as you expect-
ed, if we had not 8110688th ?”
,' Explanations followed, in which every-
thing was made very explicit, but which
did not in the least satisfy Mr. Latimer.
He persists in declaring that his nephew
does not possess a sufficient. amount of
wit to think up such a story unless there
was some foundation for it.
Dr. Sawyer still retains his place as
family physician in Mr. Latimer’s family,
but is always treated with the most
frigid politeness by that gentleman.
The doctor has one stronghold, however,
and has only _to mention, in order to
rout the enemy, “ My attendance on you
in your last illness,” and he immedia-
ly finds himself possessor of the field.
To this, however, he does not resort un-
less his former patient becomes very ag-
greasive.

A NIGHT OF HORROR.
An English writer thus describes the
terrors of a night which he passed on the
Island of Trinidad: The weird rock
scenery, with its dead forests, the
strange birds that were “foul as the
fabled harmless in their manners, drop-
ped morsels of rotten fish from their
'mouths when we approached, and at-
tacked us with fury. " More uncanny
still were the land crabs, “ fearful as the
firefight fell on their yellow cynical
faces, fixed'as that of tho Sphinx, but
fixed in a. horrid grin. Smelling the
fish we were cooking, they came down
the mountains in thousands upon us.
We threw them lumps of fish, which
they devoured with crab-like slowness,
yet perseverance. It is a ghostly sight,
9. land-crab at his dinner. A huge beast
was standing 8. yard from me; I gave
him a portion of fish, and watched him.
He looked at me straight in the face
with his outstaring eyes, and proceeded
with his two front claws to tear up his
food, bringing bits 'of it to his
with one claw, as with a. fork. But all
this while he never looked at what he
was doing: his face was fixed in one
position, staring at me. And when I
looked around, lol there were half a
dozen others all steadily, feeding. but
with immovable heads turned to me
with that fixed basilisk stare. It was in-
deed horrible, and. the effect was night-
marish in the extreme. While we slept
that night they attacked us, and would
certainly have devoured us, had we not
awoke, and did eat holes in our clothes.
One of us had to keep watch, so as to
drive them from the other two, other-
wise we should have had no sleep. Im-
agine a sailor east along on this coast,
weary, yet unable to sleep a moment on
account of these ferocious creatures.
After a few doysof an existence full of
horror, he would die raving mad, and
then be consumed in an hour by his
foes. In all Dante’s ‘queruo ’ there is
no more horrible a suggestion of pun-
ishment than this. As I was keeping
watch over the others I threw a large
stone at one of two great crabs that
were approaching the sleepers. It broke
through his armor and killed him. His
(loath produced an effect on his com.
punion that I little expected, and which,
I confess, made me feel quite uncomfor-
table and nervous in my exhausted c )n-
dition. The reptile stopped when his
companion fell, a copious foam then
poured from his mouth, and his two
eyes started right. out of his head, hang-
ing on the ends of two long strings of
horns. When I saw this ghastly ex-
hibition I did half believe for a time
that I was in a land of magic, Sll“1'i)lllltl-
ed by more than earthly enemies. The
foul birds luckily slept, so we had no;
to defend ourselves against their attack
as well, or I know not how we should
have got through the night. As it was,
the overcrowding crabs produced an
almost delirium iremens sort. of an effect
on the imagination of a lonely watcher.
But we managed to get through the
night without affording them the un-
wanted luxury of a human supper. "

THE PHOTOG IEAE’H ER'S STUDIO.
There are .muuy 81be of smiles, says
a humorist. There's the smile that is
childlike and bland, the cultivated smile,
and the plebeian smile that ripples forth
like the first joyous laugh of the boiler
factory, and that. spreads out with a gur-
gle that closes the eyes, trot; out the
wisdom teeth, and then shows a rogulsh
dimple in the tonsils. ' ‘here might be
enumerated, also, the classical smile, the
subdued smile, the parlor smile, the
sacred smile, the before-election smile,
the after-election smile and the smile
that you get two for a quarter, called the
twofor smile. Then we hayc the stage
smile and the portrait smile. Do you
call to mind the genial smirk which is,
in fact, the thin silk overskirt of joy
covering the silicia sham of a nameless
woe? Do you happen to have about
your house the photograph of a friend
whose petrified gayety fills your eyes
with briny weep? Joy is something
that we cannot seize. ruthlessly and loud

the ear. I’ve tried that. I always leave
my umbrella and my hope behind when
I go into the photographer's gildol hull.
I can laugh while the dentist pulls out
my sound teeth and plugs the poor ones,
and I can even be gay while nature and
the cucumber of commerce are engaged
in mortal combat, but 'I cannot affect a
joy that. I do not feel whilethe cast-iron

11v Iowan
One night a young doctor of Newton
Center, Iowa, escorted the daughter of a
prominent and wen thy citizen to church.
The father of the girl had forbidden her
to accompany the young man. When
church was out the father lay in wall;
behind a tree for his daughter’s com-
panion and jumped out upon him as he
passed. He seized the young man by
the throat and tore his collar off and the
bosom out of his shirt. The old gen.
tleman then ran away. The doctor
went on home with the young lady as
though nothing had happened. When
she entered the house her father took
her to the parlor, and pointing to the
doctor’s shirt bosom, which he had
tacked to the wall, said: “I intend to
have it framed.” On Monday the doctor
saw the old gentleman passing his other.
The story "of the shirt 116301): was already
known about the village. The young
man rushed out, dragged his Sunday
night assailant into his office, and com- _
polled him to take ofi‘ his white shirt.
Attaching toit this placard: “A con-
tribution for a. coward," be fastened the
garment to a-pole and hung it. out of his ,

thé'young lady has apologized to the
doctor and invited him to call on his
daughter as often as he pleases.
ARTIFICIAL murmurs.
Artificial dimples are all the rage in
Chicago. One lady displays two dimples
on either arm. The genius to whom she
submitted herself first. placed a small
glass tube over the spot where the dim.
ple was desired. By sucking the air out
of the tube he raised a slight protu-
berance and then deftly tied round it a
bit of scarlet silk. With a ”wicked-
looking knife" he. Sliced Oh this little
pimple he had raised. The wound was
quickly bound up and an inverted silver
cone was placed over it so as to. press
down exactly into the centre of it. The
fair patient went to have it. dressed on
five successive days" and the wound was
found to be completely healed and the
silver cone was removed, and there, suro
enough, was the prettiest little dimple
in the world.

WHAT Tun Moos rs DOING.
The tides are caused mainly by the
moon, as it were, catching hold of the
water as the earth revolves around on its
axis. This must. cause frictionali the
.911th as it‘revolvcs, and friction, as
every one knows, causes' loss of power.
Suppose a wheel, with hair round its
rim, like a. circular brush such as is used
for hair-brushing by machinery; if this
brush be revolving rapidly, and we hold
our band ever so lightly on the hair, so
that it is slightly rubbed backward as
the wheel revolves, we can understand
that the speed of the wheel will be
gradually diminished, until at last it
will be brought to a standstill, provided
thereis no additional power communh
cated tothe wheel by machinery or hand
beyond what was given to set it spinning
round. Now this is somewhat analogous
to what is happening to the earth in its
rotation. There is reason to suppose
that the action of the tides is slowly but
surely lessening the speed of the earth’s
rotation, and consequently increasing
the length of the day. and that this
action will continue until the earth re-
volves on its own. axis in the some time
that the moon takes to revolve round the
earth. Then the'day, instead of being
twenty-four hours as now, will be about
twenty~eight days, and the earth W111 be
exposed to the full blaze of the sun for
about fourteen days at a time. The
change this will bring about on the face
of the earth can hardly be exaggerated.
All life, both animal and vegetable, will
be destroyed; all water will be evapo-
rated; the solid rocks will be scorched
and cracked, and the whole world re-
duced to a dreary and barren wilderness.
It is supposed by some that the moon
has already passed through all this,
. hence its shattered and bare-looking sur.
face. That the earth, being » so much
larger, has more quickly acted upon the
oceans which once were upon the moon’s
surface, and stopped almost entirely its
revolution round its own axis, thus mus-
ing it to have a day equal to twenty-
eight of our days, and the heat of the
sun has already done to it what in future
ages it will do to the earth.
TWANGERS 01" THE BANJO.
Dave Jacobs, of New York, was the
first banjo manufacturer in America.
He had a little shop on Grand stree‘,
near the Bowery, in 1850. His banjos
were well liked and sought after by
soloists all over the country. He went
into the business on a large scale on
Chatham street in 1855, and made lots of
money. Another pioneer in the banjo-
maklng business was Mon-ell, who had a.
shop in New York in 1853. Among
the New Yorkers who pride themselves
on their proficiency in the use of the
banjo are: Miss E. S. Reid, niece of
Whitelaw Reid; Miss M. B. Patterson,
the favorate granddaughter of the late
President Johnson ; Miss Fannie Carle-
ton, daughter of the well-known pub-
lisher; Fred Vanderbilt, James Gordon
Bennett, the Misses May, sister's’of Fred
May; Miss Aggie Matthews, Pierry
Noel, who has a splendid collection of
banjos, the finest in America; the two
sons of Harper, the pubiisher, and
Arthur Claflin. Among the stage
people who play banjo for amusement
are Christine Nilsson, Clara Louise Kel-
logg and Lotta. No one will hesitate
about playing on this simple instrument
when it is known that fashion and cul-
ture have placed upon it. the imprint of
their approval. The banjo has been a,
papinar‘miiiént in first-class society
in England for the past two or three
years. I had the honor of selling an
elegant concert banjo to a member of the
Princess Royal party during their visit
to the city two years ago. and Of giving
. him a few lessons. From this gentle.
man I learned that ‘Lady Randolph
Churchill, Lady Mandevrlle and many
others of equal rank are skilful ban-
joists. The Earl of Dunraven, it is said,
has the finest collection of banjos in the
world, including one worth $2,000, hav-
ing a solid gold hoop, fine rosew00d
neck, ivory frets and decorated with
broad silk ribbons, on which are printed
ferns and leaves.

cxPnIAN LEPERS.
The ancient disease of leprosy has
long prevailed in ‘the Island of Cyprus,
but it effects as a rule only the Christian
population, only one Mohamedau being
known to suffer at present from the
disease. It exists in three several forms,
but several of the victims have all three
varieties at once, and most of them have
more than one. The unfortunates now
infected, with the malady do not seem to
be regarded in these latter days with as
much fear and abhor-reuse as was in-
spired by them at. an earlier epoch,
when the western parts of Asia were so
terribly afflicted by the scourge. There
is, of course. a general desire to secludo
them and avoid their society, but still
some lepers are married to healthy per-
sons. who do not trouble themselves to
separate from them. Endeavors are
made, whenever an undoubted case of
leprosy is discovered. to induce the suf-
ferer to become an inmate of an asylum,
which is called in rat-her homely phrase
the “Leper Farm. ” This place had
been enlarged during the year preceding
the last medical report from the island
and it then contained fifty inmates, in.
cluding several whose history is extreme-
ly curious and two children not at present
affected, but born of leper parents resi-
dent in the “farm." The disease is said
to be more prevalent-1y among males,
but thero are several female patients,
and, until her death last year, at the age
of ninety, there was an old woman who,
might be regarded as the patriarch or
rather matriarch of the establishment.
She was the first patient admitted to it,
and had lived there over fifty years.
She professed to have suffered from the
disease for about: seventy years, but
without any great pain or appearance of
weakness. The opinion of the medical
ofiicer, who has had good opportunities
of studying the disease at the farm, is
that there is still no certain knowledge
whatever as to its- origin. The old-
established idea that it is capable of
hereditary transmission is, however,
borne out by his experience ; and one
notable exeample is quoted to show that
it can be contracted by contagion.

ARCTIC FASOINATION.
It is announced that one of the re-
cently rescued Arctic adventurers wants
to go again. There seems to be afasoina-
tion in this quest that almost invariably
draws men back to it who have once at-
tempted it. Their hardships and suf-
ferings always evoke great sympathy.
The heart of the nation is wrung for
them. But their desire to plunge again
intp the perils out of which they have
been rescued suggests the possibility
that there are'personal compensations in
this venture which render so much sym-
pathy misplaced. There must. bosome
charm about the free life in the Arctic
regions which greatly mitigates the per
sonal experience of hardships.
It used to _ be the fashion to waste a
good deal of sympathy on missionaries
from New England to the East; and
they got a great deal of credit for their
abandonment "of home and voluntary
exile among foreign races. But it was
noticed that whatever the hardships.
and they were many, of their foreign
residences, they in time liked the life
and clung to it. And when it was re-
alized that the escape from the New
England climate into one genial the
year round, and into conditions where
living was much easier than here was
some compensation for missionary do
votion, the supporters of missions could
devote their ,vZ-hclacgcrggeitoforwudr _‘

If people like to go into the Arctic
regions from Rove of adventure and a
free life, that-sits no objection to their
going, if theyl’cau raise the menus. To
get nearer to _ geographical pfole than
anybody else i; as noble an ambition as

It doe’s not-appear that the people
generally are to gain anything by it, or
that it is the Sort of adventurd that. the
govermcnt or ht to engage in. The
idea of establishing a weather bureau in
the highest attainable latitudes seems to
be abandoned?” of no practical value,
and no commércial advantages are possi-
ble in sending a. vessel occasionally to
get caught in" the ice and abandoned.
That some men can endure the rigor of
an Arctic winter, and that the most can-
not, has bowl-sufficiently demonstrated
We know the whole dreary sto1y.“ The
incidents of one Arctic expedition are
much like another—frost, darkness,
dogs, Esquimsux, seals, blubber, canned
meats, freezing" of limbs, hunger to the
point of starvation—tho latter expedi-
tious add no new incidents. The career
may be fascinating to some men, but the
public has ceased to think it remunera‘

STARTLING THE KING OF BEASTS.
General H. F. Sickles, of the United
States Army, was telling some friends a
short time ago about his first glimpse of
of a mountain lion. He said, “We
were living up in the mountains in
Colorado, and had quite a herd of cows,
among them one old cow who wore a
bell. The cows had been missing for
several days, and the boys were out
searching, , «Lone afternoon I thought
*fwmtg’wnarI-msm do. 'So I
mounted a pony and rode quiteadis-
lance, when I thought I heard the cow's
bell. I dismounted and started to prowl
around among the rocks and bushes.
It had been raining during the early
part of the afternoon, and I had an um-
lrella. I tied 'the pony to a tree and
started. After I had gone a short dis-
auce, Icaughiz 9. glimpse of the cows.
As I started toward them, suddenly they
all lifted their heads, crooked their. tails,
and started away on the dead run; ' I
was just. wonderingw hat frightened them, ,
when I heard a rustling lathe bushes"
behind me. I turned around, and there.
not ten feet away, was a big mountain
lion, standing on a rock staring at me.
I assure you I never felt so bashful in
all my life. I hadn’t a gun, or even a
jack-knife; and there was that beast
storing and getting ready fora spring!
All at once I thought of- my umbrella, .
andasquick as thought I raised that
much-borrowed article and spread it
right in Mr. Lion’s face! He didn't
stop to examine, but made one great
jump clear across a gorge, and when he
lighted gave a yell that-shook the hills.
I saw no more of him. \Vhen I got
home, the cows were there."

nonhuman COINS.
“We buy punched silver by the peck,”
said the messenger at the assaynfiice,
“and melt them up into silver bars.
We pay just what the silver comes to in
coin, less one per cent. But we never
buy less than one hundred dollars'
wogth of old silver. Many people come
here and expect we are going togive
them a new piece for some punched
dime or quarter they have. I usually
send them to a-bulliou office. We get a
queer assortment of old silver hero,
worn-out spoons, old family plate,
watchcases, medals, jewelry, refuse from
jewellers' shops, etc. You see there
may be a. good deal of sentiment cling-
ing tonbar-of silver when you think
your grandmother's spoon or. the pin
you gave your girl may be melted up in
it.” Speaking on the same subject, a
broker said: “ This punched money is
a .vexation to the public: You have to
scan every piece of money you receive
to make sure you arcnot being swindled.
Then nothing makes you so mad as to
have some one shove a piece of money
which you suppose is all right back at
you and say ‘ punched,’ and look at you
as if you were a counterfeiter or a. thief‘
It is ten times as easy to take such a
piece as to get rid of it. You couldn’t
pass them on a blind man or an ignorant
Italian fruit dealer, and about the only
thing you can do is to put them in the
contribution box or give. them to beg-
girs, and then you feel like a mean fel-
low. I tell you punched money is a
bigger nuisanvo than you think. This
device of filling the holes with lead is a
poor one. If the lead is scraped bright
one night be deceived in the dark, but
the fraud is easily found out if you look
closely. Other ways of tamper-in g with
coin ore to file it. or bore into the edges
or sweat it. This last is usually done to
get the gold dust that comes off. There
ought to be sovcror penalties for tam-
pering with coins. It. is the meanest
kind of robbery."

REDUCING WEIGHT.
Stout people have now their choice
between four systems of reducing their
weight: First. The original bunting,
which consists of eating nothing con-
taining starch, sugar, or fat. Second.
The German bunting, which allows fat,
but forbids sugar or starch. Third. A
Munich system, which consists of being
clothed in wool and sleeping in flannel
blankets insteadcf shoots. Fourth. Not
eating and drinking at the same time.
