TUE LOP-BS 01' LABOR.
They come, they come, in a glorious march,
_ You can hear tlicirstemn-steeds neigh,
As they dash through Skin’s triumphal arch
0r plunge ’mid the dancing spray. ’
Their bale fires blaze in the mighty forgo.
Their lite—pulse throbs in the mill.
Their lightning-s shiver the gaping gorge,
And their thundcrs shake the bill.
110 ! these are the Titans of toil and trade.
The heroes who wield no sabre ;
llut mightier conquest rcapeth the blade
That is borne by the Lords of Labor.
r
Brave hearts like jewels light the sod,
Through the mists of commerce shine,
And souls flash out, like stars of God,
From the midnight of the mine.
No palace is theirs, no castle great.
No princely pillar'd hall ;
Brit they well may laugh at the roofs of state
’Ncath the heaven which is over all.
Ho ! these are the Titans of toil and trade.
The heroes who wield no sabre ;
Hut mightier conquests reapeth the blade
Which is borne by the Lords of Labor.
Each bares his arm for the ringing strife
That marshals the sons of the soil,
And the sweat-drops shed in their battle of life
A re gems in the crown of toil.
And better their well-worn wreaths, I trow,
Than lunrels with life-blood wct ;
Ami nnbli-r the arch of a bare, bold brow
Than a clasp of a coronet.
Then hurrah for each hero. although his
deed '
Be unblown by the triumph of tabor,
For hoiicr, happier far is the breed
That crowneth the Lords of Labor 1

Syd’s. Fish.
Tom put his head into the little back .
parlor, where sat the ladies of the
family. Syd—who had been growing
sleepy over her sewing for the last half
hour, with Belle writing a love-letter in
the bay-window; her mother yawning
over her account-book ; and Grandma
Greyson', nodding over‘ her knitting by
the fire—hailed his advent with delight.
“Syd ! ”
"Here, Tom! Whither bound ?"
queried Syd, rising and putting her
work away.
“To the lake,” waving his fishing-
tackle before her longing eyes.
“Proper cloudy day for fishing. Come
along, sis i”
“All right, I will. Good-bye, grand—
ma, and here's a kiss. Don‘t' worry,
mother. You needn’t lookso shocked, '
Belle, for I've been an apgel all summer
—havcn’t whistles for a fortnight. I
will to-day, though !” muttered Syd, re-
belliously, as she drew on her rubber
boots and buttoned her waterproof in
the hall.
“Girls didn’t go trapsin’ off so when I
was young!’-"and grandma shook her
head wisely over her knitting—needles.
“Seventeen years 0h,” sighed Mrs.
Greyson, “ and such a romp l”
“ Too bad, for she can be a. little lady
when she tries! added Belle.
Meanwhile Syd, at once the pride and
torment of the family, with fishing-rod
over her shoulder, was dashing through
the wet fields, in the direction of the
lake.
“How that girl does go !" muttered
Tom, who brought up in the rear pant-
ing and out of breath. “Syd! Hold
on! It's a—going to rain. Here‘s the
unibl'el! Hold on, I say!”
Syd “ held on ” accordingly, her cheeks
flushed, her eyes sparkling, her hair
hopelessly down. Very pretty was Syd,
especially with all that shining hair over
her shoulders, and not at all “fast”
looking either, though she could fish,
swim, play ball, row, ride and shoot, as
well as her brother Tom.‘ The two
“sports" aimed for a favorite fishing
station, a sort of plateau, with a fringe
of sturdy shrubs along the edge over-
hanging a narrow strip of sandy shore.
Just beyond was a deep hole, where the
big fishes of the lake lay concealed.
“Stay here and fish, Syd, while I
get some more grubs. There ain’t half
enough bait."
Syd nodded, and Tom darted away.
The fair fisher viewed the wriggling
mass of worms in Tom's tin cup with
evident disgust, took a thick brown
- paper from her pocket, opened it, dis-
closing fragments of fresh pork, and
then baited her hook, whistling “Ye
banks and bracs" with all her might
during the operation.
A fine-looking young fellow, sitting
on a camp-stool beneath Syd’s perch,
looked up at the sound. It evidently
disturbed him, for he frowned angrily
up at the bushes that concealed the un-
conscious Offender ; but seeing no one,
went on with his work. This was not
fishing, however. An easel stood before
him ; he held palette and brushes in his
hand. He was an amateur artist, proba-
bly. He had been trying in vain that
afternoon to catch the effect of rain on
the water, and his failure had put him
out of sorts apparently, for as the unseen
whistler wefit from “Bonnie Doon” to
“Captain Jenks," he contracted his
brow and muttered something ill nat-
ured about “confounded boys."
But he was destined to a worse doom
than this, for as tho line, which had lain
still in the waters. few minutes, was
jerked shin-ply up, a monstrous fish
dropped off, and the hock, relieved of
its weight, swung Suddenly round, bury-
ing itself on the back of the artist's
hand. He started up, uttering an ex-
clamation more expressive than polite.
“Deuce take that boy !" said he with
an emphasis so energetic that it reached
unlucky Syd.
“Oh, my soul!” she exclaimed, and
darted down the rocks. ’ I
Meanwhile the artist, holding his jack-
knife in his left hand, was endeavoring ‘
to open it with his teeth.
“ Good heavens ! What have I done i"
He looked up in astonishment, to see a
lovely young lady with a mass of bright
hair around her shoulders, and great,
startled violet eyes, bending over him,
looking very pale and anxious.
“Oh, I am so sorry! I didn’t mean
to!, Please do forgive me? Are you
very much hurt ?” all in a breath.
0
So surprised was he at the unexpected '
apparition, that he didn't hear half she
said. '
“Not-hing serious Pray dont be
alarmed. Nothing, upon my word!
Only some confounded boy up above
there, who has been distracting me for
a half hour with his whistling, Sent me
this favor—by wfi of climax, I suppose."
Then he showed his hand to Syd.
“ Oh, sir, it—wasI ! I’m Syd. I didn't
know—I never—I—can I help you, sir i"
"Thank you, you can if your nerves
are strong. I can’t cut this out with my
left hand. If you’d be so kind—"
“I’ll try, sir. It's no more than'I do-
serve as punishment. "
Syd set her teeth and went to work.
Calm and collected, her hand did not
shake once, while she cut out the offend-
ing fish-hook, washed the wound, and
bound it up with her handkerchief. But
when the operation was over she was
paler than her patient.
“Now, sir, we must go home—it's go-
ing to rain. And if you will only stop
at our house a moment, mother Will give
you some wonderful solve that never
fails to cure. You must let me do some-
thing for you, or I shall never forgive
myself—3’ _
“Don’t apologize, pray. I ought to
beg your pardon instead of having
Spoken so, slightingly of your whistling.
I think now it was a very creditable per-
formance, full of spirit and grace. But
if you must make some amends fer your
misdeeds. I'll burden you with this
. camp-stool to carry by way“ Of 'penance.
My paint-box and canvass will be all I
can manage. Never mind the easel;
that Will be all right here."
“ Tom can carry it, sir. Tom !"
That individual, who had been enjoy-
ing the dramatic scene from behind the
bushes, now descended and followed the
couple from afar, bearing the easel, and
stopping only twice to stand on his head
by way of expressing his hilarity.
In the middle of the afternoon, as
Belle was looking listlessly out of the
window at the driving rain, she gave a
start.
“ Mother, see here !"
Syd was at the gate, her splendid hair
down, carrying a camp-stool in one
hand, and with the other holding an
umbrella protectingly over a. tall young
gentleman. one of whose hands seemed
to be somehow disabled.
“Mr. Lester, Bessie Grant’s New
York cousin! _He‘s a distinguished
artist, and is visiting at the Grant's dur-
ing his summer vacation. What will he
think of that wild girl of ours ? Why.
he‘s coming in, as I live !"
He was coming in, for Syd had said in
an earnest tone,-
“Please stop, and let mother do
something for your hand! Beside, I
shall have to 'fess my wrong-doing, and
shall want your protection. "
“With pleasure, Miss Greyson. Only
don’t, Topsy-like, ’fess anything you
haven‘t done." "
“You think me bad enough without,"
said Syd, with a laugh, as they stood
on the steps. . “I have brought'you a
patient, mother, ” she continued, as soon
as she had introduced them properly.
“I beg pardon, madam, for intruding
upon you unceremoniously, but Miss
Sydney tells me of- some magical medi-
cine you have. I was so unfortunate
as to hurt my hand."
“I hurt it, you mean," interposed
Syd.
“Well, yes, Mrs. Greyson,” said God-
frey Lester, laughing, “I behave your
daughter did mistake me for a. fish."
Here he bowed to grandma, who had
advanced from her corner. “I assure
and had hard work to get me ofi‘ her
hook." .- -
> ”How do you do, Mr. Fish ?" said ’
grandma, very politely.
She was a little deaf, and had not got
the run of the story. Poor Syd, in spite
of her patience, was boiling over with
' suppressed laughter, and Tom stood on
his head in the hall.
Mrs. Greyson hustled around, bring-
ing lint, ointment and bandages, to bind
up the wound, while Belle scolded Syd
in an undertone.
“That Mr. Fish seems to be a very
fine young man," said grandma, at sup-
per, after Mr. Lester had departed.
‘“ But I didn't quite understand how he
came to hurt his hand so. ”
-Syd bit her lips; Tom choked, and
was sent from the table in disgrace.
. Mr. Lester came every day for a re-
newal of the ointment. He might have
taken some with him, and thus saved so
many journeys, but he never seemed to
think of that.
After a little; 9. great change came
over Miss Sydney Greyson.
"Syd’s getting too poky for any-
thing," said Tom. . “She won’t fish or
shoot, and she says things are ‘»very nice'
instead of ‘jolly.’ "
“What a little lady Sydney is getting
to be t” said her mother.
“ It’s high time i” from grandma
“I know why," said Belle the senti-
mental, “Syd is in level"
“Ah!" said grandma;
Fish '2"
For grandma would persist in calling
Godfrey Lester Mr. Fish, to,Syd's deep
disgust and to Master Tom's infinite do-
light.
Long after the luccrated hand recov-
ered, Mr. Lester continued his visits,
probably because he had got into the
habit of going to the Greysons', and
habits are notorious tyrants. Syd sud-
denly took a contrary fit, indulged in
freaks unaccountable, and was wilder
than ever. Mr. Lester seemed to like
her none the less for this. I think he
understood it. Don’tyou?
One night, at a party, Syd was enjoy-
ing herself hugely in her own way; that
was, by horrifying a group of interested
listeners with accounts of‘ her many es-
capades. To shock the dainty bells and
efi‘eminate dandies by her bold disclos-
ures, delighted the wicked little
creature.
She did not look like a hoyden, in her
fieecy white dress, looped with purple
pansies, and pansies just the color of
her eyes in her bright hair. ,
“You look like an angel, Syd dear,”
Belle had said. “Be one to-night, and
let Mr. Lester see, that you can be a.
lady.” ' '
This was well-meant, but mistaken
advice, and had the effect, of course, of
making Syd resolve to behave her very
worst. And she kept her word.
“I really think I have been too on-
gellic for anything this summer. It
worries me to think of it. I fear I shall
die young like the story-book semphs,
for I'm getting quite heavenly. Just
think! I’ve been fishing only once this
season. But that time'I caught such a
huge fish—enormous! In fact—"
“Did. you take him home. Sydney i"
asked Bessie Grant.
“Of course I did!" replied Syd.
“And—Mrs. Greyson doctored him up,
and now he’s entirely recovered”
And then Syd went on to tell how
many birds she had “bagged"in yes-
terday’s sport, and how she had drowned .
six kittens that morning. v _
“Oh! how could you, Syd?" cried
Bessie.
“Because Tom wouldn't. Boys are
too tender-hearted for that sort of
thing,” in a most matter-of-fact tone.
This was bad enough, but she went on ,
from bad to worse, saying the most
extraordinary things in the quietest,
most ladylike way,‘and in the sweetest
of voices. __ ,
“I’ve finished the business now,” she
said to herself, as she took down her
hair that night. , “I did my worst, and
he's doubtless so disgusted that he'll.
never want to see me again. I don't
care i" '
But she sobbed herself to sleep.
The next morning Mr. Lester called,
and found Syd alone in the little parlor.
She was pale, but greeted him very com-
rascals--
‘_“This is a farewell visit, Miss Sydney;
the last, probably, of many pleasant
ones. My business calls me back, and
I leave this afternoon."
Syd’s voice, was very cool, but she
dropped her work and stooped to regain
it. - . ‘
’ Godfrey bent also, and as both r050.
'he lacked straight into her face.
“Your eyes are full of tears, Syd
darling 1 Why. what's the matter 1’”
“My great grandfather isdead i" said
Syd, in a doleful tone.

you she found me a. troublesome one, ,
prettier than ever, and quite as saucy.
" My iii-st exploit in that line cured me
entirely and forever of my mania for
fishing."
“Why so, Mrs. Lester ? Were you
disappointed in the. fish you caught on
that occasion 1’ Are you dissatisfied with
me, dear ‘2"
I shall not tell you what Syd said; but
I should say—judging from the fender
light in her violct eyes, and the raptur-
ous expression on the face of her “fish '
' at her answer—that she was not dissatis-
fied. ’

INDIAN LUXURY.
AN
According to the Chicago Entenm'w
the noble red man's method of prepar-
ing the grasshopper for the table is
unique. “ The first operation is to dig
a funnel~shaped hole, three feet moss
and about three feet deep. Then the
band scatter out on a skirmish line in
different directions and commence sweep-
nnd ‘ driving" the hoppers toward the
pith‘ole, and by working around in n'
circle they gradually drive a good share
of the orthopterous insects toward and
into the holes, from which‘ the poor
hoppers ‘can ne'er come out again,’
until the frugal Indian lifts them out
into a wheat sack. The crawling, jump-
ing mass in the pit, when the ‘drive ' is
done, would do any vengeful granger
good, as he thinks of the horrid fate in
store for his enemies, to be roasted to
death at some Indian restaurant. The
process of cooking is. unique, if not
elegant. Hot stones are put into the
sack and they are carefully shaken back-
ward and forward together until the legs
and wings of the hoppurs are broken
and burned off. when they'are served
without sauce in all the ‘Lo’ caravan-
saries, and considered a great luxury.
We were informed by a young buck
that they were much better than white
man's shrimps and he thought not so
repulsive. Gen. Btdwell says the roasted
hopper ground into meal is to the Dig-
ger family what a jar of quince pre-
serves is to the child of the pale face."

SCENTING A SLAVE“.
Many years ago, when slavery was the
rule and not the exception, vessels run-
ning a cargo were extremely clever in
eluding capture and putting their pur-
suors off the scent. A good story is
told of the flagship—Winchester, I
think—going out of Simon's Bay bound
to the Mauritius. When off Cape
Hangklip, bite one afternoon, a very
rakish, suspicious looking craft was
sighted, cam-ying an unusual number of
staysails and studdingsails, who, upon
sceingfihe mau-of-wur, hoisted Spanish
colors andher number of Marryat’s code,
and requested to be reported. She
passed quite close, and was apparently a
passenger ship of about 500 tons burden,
for as she neared them about a dozen -
ladies, in very smart bonnets, veils, ‘imd
parasols, were observed to come on deck
and wave their hundkerchiefs with every
demonstration of cordiality to the of-
ficers of the flagship. She seemed to
have also a large crew, and was very
clean and smart. Supicion was quite
disarmed, and she was logged as a pas-
senger ship from Manila to Cadiz. The
Admiral was alone in his opinion that all
was not right, remarking that the ladies
waved their pocket handkerchiefs un-
commonly long and vigorously to a mere
passing ship ; he also thought the hand-_
kerchiefs unusually large, and further
be mentioned that as she passed he was
looking out of the door in the stern
gallery, and a faint, curious whifi‘ came
down on the wind, reminding him of
something long passed. He could not
remember for the moment of what it did
remind him, but it suddenly’ occurred to
him several hours after that the faint
passing odor, as the vessel swept by,
recalled the smell of a slave ship which
he had navigated into port years before.
And he was right. This same vessel
was taken, off the Havana, on her sub-
sequent voyage, and proved to have
been a Spanish ship from Fernando,
Veloso River, in the Mozambique Chan-
nel, full of slaves for Cuba. Her cap<
tain explained with delighted pride his
‘mcoting with the flagship off the Cape,
and how. seeing a. large man-of-war
bearing down upon him with the cor-
tainty of capture and no hope to escape
should the ship's character be known,
he adopted the clever expedient, doubt-
less not for the first time, of dressing up
a number of his men in women’s attire,
a ruse that was in this instance entirely
successful.

THE VE’ONDEBS OF AN EGG.
. Every one who eats his matutinal egg
eats a sermon and a miracle. Inside of
that smooth, symmetrical, beautiful shell
lurks a question which has been the
Troy town for all the philososhers and
scientists since Adam.- Arme with the
engines of war—the microscope, the
scales, the offensive weapons of chemis-
try and reason—they have probed and
weighed and. experimented, and still the
question is unsolved, the citadel un-
sacked. Prof. Bokorny can tell you
that albumen is composed of so many
molecules of carbon and nitrogen and
- hydrogen, and can persuade you of the
difference between active and passive
albumen, and can show bytwonderfully
delicate experiments what the aldehydes
have to do in the separation of gold
from his complicated solutions; but he
can’t tell you why from one egg comes a
“ little rid hiu,".und from another a
bantam. ’ , ,
You leave your silver spoon an hour
in your egg cup and it is coated with a
compound of sulphur; why is that sul-
phur there ? Wenderful that evolution
should provide for the bones of the
future hen. There is phosphorus also
in that little microcosm and the oxygen
of the air passing through the shell
unites with it and“ the acid dissolves the
shell. thus making good strong bones
for the chick and at the sometime
thinning the prison walls. Chemists
know a good deal now about albumen,
and if they cannot tell us Why life differ-
entiates itself therein and .thereby, they
can tell you how not to spoil your break-
fast by overdoing your eggs.
THE TALLEST RACE.
- ._._——
Careful measurements have been
made in recent times, by different
observers, of many individuals in vari-
ous parts of Patagonia. The result is
that the mean stature of adults (of both
sexes. it would appear), is found to be
about 1.78 meters, or five feet ten inches
English. This mean may seem rather
low, but if we cempare it with that of
France, which is only 1.65 meters (about
five feet five inches). and if we consider
that for all humankind. the statistics
give only 1.70 _meters (rather less than

EDIBLES 0F PERSIA.
Everything is good and plentiful
there are, no adultemtions; the only
fault is on the side of profusion. In
the large towns cook shops abound.
Sheep are roasted whole in ovens and
sold hot by the slice. The sheeps’ heads
and feet are boiled separately and their
preparation and sale is a trade in itself.
But the edible most in favor among all
classes in Persia is the kebab. There
are two varieties of kabab. One is made
from minced mutton which is chopped
with a few onions info a. paste fine as
sausage meat, carefully moulded over a
skewer, toasted over a fierce charcoal
fire and sold and eaten hot. This is the
' kebab of the bazaar, the delicacy of the
lower classes. At the dinner hour (sun-
set) and at the breakfast hour (noon)
crowds. Ham-round the shops of the
kebab sellers. Each man carries his
bread, which is usually a. flexible loaf
:two feet long. a foot wide and half an
'inch thick. The customer wraps his
kebabs, hot from the fire, in his bread,
and either sits down and eats it then
and there or takes the meal home to‘his
family. In any case, a. hot dinner of
roast meat can be obtained for from one
penny to threepenco a head, for the
price of a single skewer of the steaming
delicacy is but a halfpenny. Jars con-
taining about half a pint of hot, strong
and savory meat soup are sold for a
penny. These form the invariable meal
of the Persian soldier,'if he can afford it.
The meat is pounded and served with the
soup or eaten afterward us a separate
dish. But in Persia, as in the rest of
the East, bread, rice or dates are the
real food—the meat merely the sauce or
tonne bouclw. Persians of all ages are
very fond' of confectionery, and are con-
stantly devouring sweets. These are
generally pure and good; but there is
little variety in color, most of them
being white, and nearly all are flavored
with lemon juice. The lewer class Per-
sian will eat several. pounds of grapes,
cucumbers or apricots for a meal; they
eat onions as we eat apples. Pomegran-
ates and melons are in great demand as
food, and the melons, which . run to
fourteen pounds in weight, are very
nutritious Cucumbers are looked upon
as a fruit and are eaten in large quanti-
ties by rich and poor. They are not
indigestible. Seven pounds' weight may
may be often had for a halfpomiy.
Grapes in infinite variety 'and of the
most delicious kinds, from the huge,
long grape, which measures two inches,
to the tiny sultann, sweet as honey to
the taste. The curds or mast is simply
made by adding a small portion of tho
rennet or else old curds to warmed milk;
in a. few hours it sets into a mass, the
cream on the top. If eaten the first
day, it is like a junket; if allowed to
remain, it becomes sour, and will keep
good any time. In this sour state it is
preferred and is eaten with honey,
sugar or grape sugar. Eggs boiled hard .
and dyed a gay color are much eaten;
from forty to fifty can be had for nine-
pefice. These things, then, form the
cheap and varied diet of the working
classes. Beef, too, is eaten by them;
never by the well-to-do.

~18 THE SUN BLUE?
It may be asked, what suggested the
idea that the. sun may be blue rather
than any other color? ‘My own atten-
tion was first directed this way many
years ago' when measuring the'hect and
light from different parts of the sun’s ‘
disk. It is known that the sun has an
atmosphere of its own, which tempers
its heat, and by cutting off certain radia-
tions, and not others, produces the spec-
tral lines we are all familiar with. These
lines we customarily study in connection
with the absorbing vapors of sodium,
iron and so forth, which produce them;
but. my own attention was particularly
given to the regions of absorption, or to
the color it caused; and I found that the
sun’s body must be deeply bluish. and
that it would shed blue light, except
for this apparently colorless solar atmos-
phere, which really plays the part of a
reddish veil, letting a little of the blue
appear on the center of the sun's disk
where it is thinnest, and staining the
edge red, so that‘fo delicate tests the
center of the sun is a pale aqua marine
and its edge a garnet. The effect I
found to be so important that, if this all
but invisible solar atmosphere were dim-
inished by but a third part, the tempera-
ture of the British Islands would rise
above that of the torrid zone, and this
directed my'attcntion to the great prac-
tical importance of studying the action
of our own terrestrial atmosphere on the
sun, and the antecedent probability that
our own air was also and independently
making the really blue sun into an ap-
parently white one. 4

A NAVAL DISCUSSION.
“ I remember on one occasion I fol-
lowed in a very fast frigate (my flagship)
the Emperor of Russia’s yacht Maudie
too near to the fire of the» forts of Sebas-
topol. I say too near, because I drew
on my ship such a fire that, had I not
' cleared pretty quickly out of that,’I
should not have been here to-day to tell -
the story. Since the war a Russian
naval officer, ‘whose name, was Capt.
Mokarofi', uid-do-camp to his Majesty,
the’Emperor of Russia, told me that he
had under his command seven torpedo
beats, with which he volunteered to go
out—in the day time, it must be remem-
bered—and attack me. We discussed at
some length the probable result, and I
“ think that even he admitted that he
could have done nothing. Here is my
view and argument. I said to him:
‘When I saw you and your torpedo
boots coming out, I should have run
away. Now, I could go thirteen or four-"
teen knots. You could steam about
nineteen. Thus your speed following
me would have been about five knots—
vessel armed to the teeth with Nor-den-
-feldt guns—guns on barbette firing
grape, shrapnehetc. I am convinced
that we should have destroyed all the
torpedo boats, and this, I believe, would
- be the fate of any day attack attempted

Billy Hoover came from the West.
He wore a slouch but ~ and a double-
edged knife in his rear trousers pocket.
He picked his teeth occaiiionally with
the knife and told jokes abOut, Mexican
greasors. But whether jOking. picking,
his teeth or eating he aanys smiled.
Out West he is known as Siniler Hoover.
He put up at a first-class hotel‘on Broad-
way two months ago, as, econ as he
arrived, when he rogrsteredi ’ '
William Hoover, Cheyenne. _.
The clerk smiled and so did Hoover.
“Glad you've come. Mr. 'Hoover.
You can occupy the room ROscoe Conk-
ling and Ben Butler occupy; when they
stop with us," said the 'olerk, as . he
winked at the porter to takdlthe luggage
up. Hoover smiled and sodid‘the clerk.
Hoover went upand remain ' ton min-

man never can see through a Western

The Western mun smiled walked out
and attended the theatre. At 11.30 he
dropped in and asked the some clerk for

Hoover still smiled and went up Stairs] h
Great beads of perspiration stood upon
the clerk's face when he was-relieved by
the second clerk.
For four days Hoover smiled upon
the head clerk. It became intolerable.
Finally the clerk thought of a happy
expedient to get rid of Hoover. “Mr.
Hoover, ” he said, “Gen. Benny Butler
~ will be here this afternoon to conduct

month. He must have that room you
occupy—he likes the exposure to the
south where he can drink the saline from

“The head clerk dodged at the last

roar at the wit (?) concealed therein,
but the Clic_. cnnc man only smiled and
said he would take another room.
“All occupied,” promptly said the
clerk.
“I can’t leave.

“Leave your valise, Mr. Hoover and
when the check comes step in and settle
your bill. The Hoffman House, Vicé

Hdo‘vei-ismiled and walked out." He
walked‘to a trunk store, bought a. fifty-
ccnt valise and started- for one of the
above mentiOned hotels. He met a
'flnshily dressed man.
“Hello, Bill Hoover !” he said, “what
racket are you playing now i"
“ I have cut a muscle in my face and

months in Frisco On it. It paralyzes

“ I do," said the three-card-moute pot

Tun. menu! 'on SLEEP.
Two of Vierordt’s pupils, Moninghoff
and Picsbcrgcn, have made the depth
of sleep the subject of anginvestiga-
tiou. They worked upon the princi-
ple that the depth of sleep is propor-
tional to the strength of the sensory
stimulus necessary to awaken the sleeper
—that is, to call forth some decisive sign
of awakened consciousness. As a sen-
sory stimulus they made use of the
auditory sensation produced by drop-
ping n lead ball from avgivcu height.
The strength of the stimulus was reck-
oned, in accordance with some recent
investigations of Vierordt, as increasing,
not directly as the height, but as the
0.50 power of the height. For a per-
fectly healthy man, the curve which
they giveshows that for the first hour
the slumber is very light; after one
hour and fifteen minutes the depth of
sleep incl-eiiscs.1'api(lly and reaches its
maximum point at one hour and forty-
five minutes; the curve then falls
quickly to about two hours and fifteen
minutes and afterward more gradually.
At: about four hours and thirty minutes
there is a second small rise, which
reaches its maximum at five hours and
thiry minutes. after which the curve
again gradually approaches the base
line until the time of awakening. Ex-
periments made upon persons not per-
fectly healthy, or after having made-
somc exertion, give curves of a different
form.

HOW BIANY TIES T0, 100 FEET ?
The number of crossties in a mile of
railway track varies largely in different
roads. Every first-class line has at
least two thousand, six hundred and
forty, or one to every two feet, and some
exceed three thousand, two hundred per
mile. Then, again, there .is a difference
on‘ different parts of the same road. A
tie, to grade, must presents clear suru
face of eight inches and a thickness of
six inches. Sometimes ties below grade

An Indian explorer, in the employ of

capital of Thibet, and the Rome of
Buddhism. Before this traveler, only
four Europeans in this century have
visited Lhasa. Hue and Gabet, the
French missionaries, were driven from
the city forty years ago, after living

the pine bun-ens to Ohio, but‘turned
aside to be present at a sacramental
solemnity on Red River. The people
were accustomed to gather at such times
on Friday, and by praying and singing
and hearing sermons, prepare them-
selves for the reception of the sacrament
on Sunday. At the Red River meeting
the brothers were asked 'to preach, and
one did so with astonishing fervor. As
he spoke the people were deeply moved,
tears ran streaming down their faces.
and one, awoman. far in the rear=of the ,
house, brokethrough order and began
to shout. {For three hours after.,the
regular preachers had gone the crowd
lingered and were .lothi to depart. While
they tau-ted one of the brothers 'w'as-

and told them that he felt called to
preach, that he could not: .be silent.

. g‘enbsensc of sin.’ ‘ Again and again the
woman shouted, and would not-be silent.
He started to her. The crowd begged
him to turn back. Something within
him urged him on, and he went through
‘ the house shouting and exhortiug and
praising God. .
In a moment the floor, to use his own
words, “was covered with the slain."
Their cries for mercy were terrible to .
hear. Some found forgiveness, but many
went away “spiritually wounded " and
suffered unuttcrable agony of soul.
Nothing could allay the excitement.
Every settlement along the Green River
and the Cumberland was full of relig-
ious fervor. Men fitted‘their wagons
with beds and provisions, and traveled
fifty miles to camp upon the ground and
hear him preach. The idea. was new;
hundreds adopted it and camp meetings
began. At the Cane Ridge meeting
20, 000 were encamped. The excitement
surpassed anything that had been known.
Men who came to scoff remained to
preach. All day and all night the crowd
swarmed to and fro from preacher to
preacher, singing, shouting, laughing;
now rushing off to listen to some new
exhorter, who had climbed upon a
stump; now gathering around some un-
fortunate who, in their peculiar lan-
guage was “spiritually Slain.” Soon
men and women fell in such numbers
that it became impossible for the multi-
tude to move about Without trampling
them, and they were hurried to the
meeting-house. At no time was the
floor less than half covered. Some lay
quiet, unable to move or speak; some
talked, but could not move; some beat
the floor with their heels; some, sin-ick-
ing in agony, bounded about, it is said,
like a live fish out of water; many lay
down and rolled over and over for hours
at a time; others rushed wildly over the
stumps and benches, and then plunged
—shouting “ Lost ! lost !”—into the for-
est.

AN INHUBIAN TRAFFIC.
The following is Stanley’s sketch of a
Congo slave pen: “There are rows
upon rows Of dark nakedness, relieved
here and there by the white dresses of
the captors. There are lines or groups
of naked forms, upright, standing or
moving about listlessly; naked bodies
grasfretghpd ..11p_fler.f.he_.she(ls...in all
positions; naked legs innumerable are
seen in the. perspective of prostrate
sleepers; there are countless naked
children, many mere infants, forms of
boyhood and girlhood, and occasionally
a drove of- absolutely naked old women,
bending over a basket of fuel, or cassava
tubers, or bananas, who are driven
through the moving groups by two or
three musketeers. On paying more
attention to details I observed that
mostly all are fettered; youths with
iron rings around their necks, through
which a chain like one of our boat
chains, is rove, securing the captives
by twenties. The children over ten are
secured by three copper rings, each
ringed leg brought together by the cen-
tral ring, which accounts for the appar-
ent listlessness of movement I observed
on first coming in presence of the curi-
ous scene. The mothers are secured by
shorter chains, around whom their re-
spective progeny of infants are grouped,
hiding the cruel iron links that fall in
loops or festoons over their mammas‘
breasts. There is not one adult man
captive among them. * " " Little
perhaps as my face betrayed my feel-
ings, other pictures would crowd upon
the imagination; and after realizing
the extent and depth of the misery
presented to me, I w. lked about as in a
kind of dream, wherein I saw through
the darkness of the night the stealthy
forms of the murderers creeping toward
the doomed town, its inmates all asleep,
and no sounds issueing from the gloom
but the drowsy hum of chirping cicadas
or distant frogs—when suddenly flashes
the light of brandishing torches; the
sleeping town is involved in flames,
while volleys of musketry lay low the
frightened and astonished people, send-
ing many through a short minute of
agony to that soundless sleep from ,
which there will be no waking. "

At Dunajewce, in Russian Poland, a man
died lately at the age of fifty-nine in conse-
quence of the cold, and of thorough luck of
functional vitality; in plain English, there-
fore, of frOSt and hunger. He was a char-
acter of the district, when he was spoken of
in leading a most original, not to say se-
lected life. For many years he had lived in
a room which was never heated, stamping on
a pallet of stolen stable straw on the floor.
He subsisted almost exclusively on bread,
which he went on foot several versts out of
town to buy because he got it cheaper. He
was, however, not a. vegetarian. On Sun-
days he ate meat. The meat was liver, be.
cause, as be affirmed, his circumstances
would not admit of his purchasing anything
more ecstly. Yet he never asked aims,
though he accepted them when offered. He
cooked his liver in- a broken iron mortar,
over a fire in a. foundry next to the house in
which he lived. He never treated himself
to a candle, wore‘no clothes that were not
given him, and never spoke to anybody save
when absolutely forced to do so. Nothing
more was known of him but that he was a
Jew, with some relatives somewhere in the
district. . As he failed to leave his room for
same days, the neighbors called the police
in. They found the old man dead. And
the squalor in which he had perished proved
to be the scarf covering a. perfect mint of
treasure. Hidden about the place were over
half a million of rubles in gold and jewels,
and as much more in paper. He had been
an usurer of the most notorious character,
under another name, in a town twenty miles
away. It goes without saying that his rein.
lives have shown up since his death. '
