in half an nour the unciiiil Mistress
Thankful, with a h hiding her pale
face, passed the omoer in the hall, on the
way to her rcndcnvous. An hour later
Czesnr came with a. message that Mistress
Thankful would like to see him. When
the major entered the littin room he was
shocked to find her lying p o and motion-
less on the sofa; but as the door closed
she rose to her feet and confronted him.
“I do not know,” she said slowly,
“whether you are aware that the man I
just now parted from was for atwelvc-
month past my sweetheart, and that I be-
lievcd I loved him, and know I was true
to him. If you have not heard it, I tell
you now, for the time will come when you
will hear part of it from the lips of others,
and I would rather you should take the
whole truth from mine. This man was
false to me. Ho betrayed two friends of
mine as spies. I could have forgiven it,
had it been only foolish jealousy; but
it was, I have since learned from
his own lips, only ' that he might
gratify his spite against the commander in
chief by procuring their arrest, and mak-
ing a serious difilculty in the American
camp, by means of Ehich he hoped to
serve his own ends. e toldmo this, be—
lieving that Isymputhized with him in
his hatred of the commander in chief and
in his own'wrongs and sufierings. I con-
fess to my shame, Maj. Van Zandt, that
two days ago I did believe him, and that I
looked upon you as a more catch poll or
bailiff of the tyrant. ThntI found out
how I was deceived when I saw the com-
mander in chief, you, major, who know
him so well, need not be told. Nor was
it necessary for me to tell this man that
he had deceived me, for I felt that—that
~was—iiot—the—only reason—why I
could no longer return—his love.”
She paused as the major a proached her
earnestly. and waved him do]: with her
hand. “He reproached mo bitterly with
my want of feeling for his misfortunes,”
she went on again; “he recalled my past
protestations; he showed me my love
letters; and he told me that if I were still
his: true sweetheart I ought to help him.
Itold him if he would'never call one by
that name again; if he would givo up 'llll
claim to me; if he would never speak.
write to me, nor see me again; if he would
hand me back my letters—I would help
him.” She stopped; the blood rush: d
into her pale face. “You will remember,
major, that I accepted this man 8 love as
a young, foolish, trustful girl; but when I
made him this ofier—he—he accepted it.”
“The dog!” said Maj. Van Zaiidt.
“But in what way could you help this
double traitor?"
“I have helped him," said Thankful
quietly.
“But how?” said Maj. Van Zandt.
“By becoming a. traitor myself,” she
said, turning upon him almost fiercely.
“Hear me! \Vhile you were quietly pac-
ing these halls, while your men were
laughing and talking in the road, Caesar
was saddliug my white more, the fleetost
in the country. Ho led her to the lane
below. That more is now two miles
away, with Capt. Brewster on her back.
Why do you not start, major? Look at
me. I am a traitor, and this is my
bribe;” and she drew a package of letters
from her bosom and flung them on the
table.
“I am a traitor, and this is my brib‘c."
She had been prepared for an outbreak .
or oxclamntioufrom the man before her,
but not for his cold silence. “Speak,"
she cried at last, passionately. “Speakl
Open your lips, if only to curse me!
Order ’in your men to arrest me. I will
proclaim myself guilty and save your
honor. But only speak!"
“May I ask," said Maj. Van Zandt
coldly, “why you have twice honored me
with a. blow?” ,
“Because I loved you; because, when I
first saw you I saw the only man that
was my master, and I rebelled; because,
when I found I could not help but love
you, I knew I never had loved before, and
I would wipe out with one stroke all the
past that rose in judgment against me;
because I~ would not have you ever con-
fronted with one endearing word of mine
that was not meant for you.”
Maj. Van Zandt turned from thawin-
dow where he stood, and faced the girl
with sad resignation. “If I have in my
foolishness, Mistress Thankful, shown
you how great was your power over me,
when you descended to this artifice to
spare my feelings by confessing 'your own
love for me, you should have remembered
that you were doing that which forever
kept me from wooing or winning you. If
you had really loved me, your heart, as a.
woman’s, would have warned you against
that which my heart, as a gentleman’s,
has made a. law of honor; when I tell you,
as much for the sake of relieving your
own conscience as for the sake of justify-
ing miiio, that if this man, a traitor, my
prisoner, and your recognized lover, had
escaped from my custody without your
assistance, connivancc, or even knowl-
edge, I should have deemed it my duty to
forsake you until I caught him, even if
we had been standing before the altar.”
Thankful heard him, but only as a.
strange voice in the distance, us‘sho stood
with fixed eyes and breathless, parted
lips before him. Yet even then I fear
that, womanlike, she (lid not comprehend
his rhetoric of honor, but only caught
here and there a. dull, bonumbing idea
that he despised her, and that in her effort
to win his love she had killed it, and
ruined him forever.
“If you think it strange,” continued the
major, “that, believing as I do, Istnnd
here only to utter moral axioms when my
duty calls me to pursue your lover, I beg
you to believe that it is only for your
sake. I wish to allow a. reasonable time
between your interview with him and his
escape, that shall save you from any sus-
picion of complicity. Do not think,’ he
added with a sad smile, as the girl made
an impatient step toward him, “do not
think I am waning any risk. The man
cannot escape. A cordon of pickets sur-
rounds the camp for many miles. He has
not the countersigii, and his face and
crime are known.” .
“Yes,” said Thankful eagerly, “but a,
part of his own regiment guards the Bask-
ingridge roar . ”
“How know you this?" said the major,
seizing her hand.
“He told me.”
Before she could fall on' her knees and
beg his forgiveness ho had darted from
the 'room, given an order, and returned
with checks and eyes blazing.
“Hear me,” he said rapidly, taking the
girl’s two hands, “you. know not what
you’ve done. I forgive you. But this is
no longer a matter of duty, but my por-
sonul honor. I shall pursue this man
alone. I shall return with him, or not at
all. Farewell. . God bless you!"
But before he reached the door she
caught him again. “Only say you have
forgiven me once more."
“I do.”
“Guertl”
There was something in the girl's voice,
more than this first utterance of his Chris-
tian name, that made him pause.
“I toid—a—_-lio——just—-now. There is a
fieetor horse in the stable than my more;
~’tis the roan filly in the second stall.”
”God bless you!”
He. was gone. She waited to hear the
clutter of his horse’s boots in the road-
way. When Cwsar came in a few mo-
ments later, to tell the news of Capt.
Brewster’s escape, the room was empty;
but it was soon filled again by a dozen
turbulent troopers.
“Of course she’s gone,” said Sergt.
Tibbitts; “the jade flow with the cap-
tain."
“Ay, ’tis plain enough. Two horses
are gone front the stable besides the ma-
jor’s," said Private Hicks.
Nor was this military criticism entirely
a private one. \Vhen the courier arrived
at headquarters the next morning, it was
to bring the report that Mistress Thankful
Blossom, after assisting her lover to es-
cape, had fled with him. “The renegade
is well off our hands,” said Gen. Sullivan
gruflly; “he has saved us the public dis-
grace of a trial. But this is bad news of
Maj. Van Znudt.”
“\Vliat news of the major?”
Washington quickly.
“He pursued the vagabond as far as
Springfield, killing his horse, and falling
himself inaenslblc before Maj. Merton’s
quarters. Here he became speedily deliri-
ous, icvcr cupervcned, end the regimental
surgeon, after a careful examination, pro-
trounce-.1 his case one. of smallpox.”
A whisper of horror and pity went
around the room. “Another gallant sol-
dier, who should have died leading a
charge, laid by the heels bya beggar’s
filthy distemper,” growled Sullivan.
“Where will it end?”
“God knows,” said Hamilton. “Poor
Van Zandtl But whither was he sent-
to the hospital?"
“No; a special permit was granted in
his case; and ’tis said he was removed to
the Blossom farm—it boing remote from
neighbors—and the house placed under
quarantine. Abner Blossom has pru-
dently absonted himself from the chances
of infection, and the daughter has fled.
The sick man is attended only by a black
servant and an ancient cronc; so that, if
the poor major escapes with his life or
without disfigurement, pretty Mistress
Bolton, of Morristown, need not be scan-
dalized or jealous. ” '
CHAPTER V.
The ancient cronc alluded to in the last
chapter had been standing behind the
window curtains of that bedroom which
had been Thankful Blossom’s in the weeks
gone by. She did not move her head, but
stood looking demurely, after the manner
of ancient crones, over the summer land~
scape. For the summer had come before
the tardy spring was scarce gone, and
the elms before the window no longer
lisped, but were eloquent in the softest
zephyrs. There was the flash of birds in
among the bushes, the occasional droning
of bees in and out the open window, and
a perpetually swinging censor of flower
incense risingr from below. The farm
had put on its gayest bridal raiment; and,
looking at the old farm house shadowed
with foliage and green with creeping
vines, it was difficult; to conceive that
snow had ever lain on its porches, or
icicles swung from its mossy caves.
“Thankful!" said a voice still tremu-
10113 with weakness.
The ancient crone turned, drew aside
the curtains and showed the sweet face of
Thankful Blossom, more beautiful even in
its paleness.
“Come here, darling,” repeated the
voice. ‘ '
Thankful stepped to the sofa whoreon
lay the convalescent Maj. Van Zandt.
“Tell me, sweetheart,” said the major,
taking her hand in his, “when you mar-
ried me, as you told the chaplain, that
you might have the right to nurse me, did
you never think that if death spared me I
might be so disfigured that even you, dear
love, would have turned from me with
loathing?"
“That was why I did it, dear,” said
Thankful mischievously. “I know that
the pride, and the sense of honor, and self
devotion of some people would have kept
them from keeping their promises to a
poor girl.”
“But, darling,” continued the major,
raising her hand to his lips, “suppose the
case had been reversed; suppose you had
taken the disease, that I had recovered
without disfigurement, but that this sweet
fuco‘l— .
asked
“I thought of that, too,” interrupted“
Thankful.
“Well, what would you have done,
dear?” said the major, with his old mis~
eliievous smile.
“I should have died,” said Thankful,
gravely.
“But how?"
‘ “Somehow. But you are to go to sleep,
and not ask impertinent and frivolous
questions; for father is coming to-mor-
row.”
“Thankful, dear, do you know what
the trees and the birds said to me as I lay
there tossing with fever?"
“No, dear." _
“Thankful Blossom! Thankful Bios-
snm! Thankful Blossom is coming!”
“Do you know what I said, sweetheart,
as I lifted your dear head from the ground
when you reeled from your horse just as ‘
I overtook you at Springfield?" ,
“No, dear."
“There are some things in life worth
stooping for.”
And she winged this Parthian arrow
home with a kiss.

[low Fatigue Operates.
‘ After a study of some years. ProfossOr
Mosso, of Turin, finds that when fatigue
is carried beyond the moderate stage, at
which it is decidedly beneficial, it sub-
jects the blood to a decomposing process
through the infiltrdtion into it of sub-
stances which act as poisons, and which,
when injected into the circulation of
healthy animals, induce uneasiness and
all the signs of excessive exhaustion.
\Vhen within the resisting power of the
subject, fatigue has its pleasures and even
joys, these being the expression of the
organic consciousness that bodily loss of
tissue is being balanced by reconstruc-
tion. Mosso’s experiments were per-
formed on Italian soldiers, and they
proved, among the other results, that the
stature and power of the modern warrior
are fully equal to those of the ancient Ro-
man.——Arkansaw Traveler.
Ills Desperate Resolve.
Ono (lay Matthew Byles, the old person,
with a very long face came into the room
where his family was sitting and said: “I
am tired of life and I must put an end to
myself.” Saying this, he immediately

locked the door behind him. Of course

ishment and terror. \Vhat werc‘they to

old doctor with a cow’s tail fastened to the

A Perfect Ordnance Officer.
A Danish officer is pictured to us mak-
ing observations in regard to the deviation
of ride bullets. One day, when walking
on the ramparts at Duppel, he saw a
Prussian sharpshooter taking aim at him.
While the soldier placed himself against a
tree, in order to take a steadier aim, the
ofilcer raised his glass to watch his move-
ments. “This is all right,” said he; “the
musket is just on a line with my breast—
we shall see." The trigger was pulled,
and the Danish officer quietly wrote down:
“At a distance of about 500 yards the dc-
viation of a ball from a rifled musket is
about one meter.”—-Chambers’ Journal.

The tower which is being erected by the

A Much More Graceful \Vay.
To bombard a stage favorite with huge
bouquets, buried by the muscular arms of
gailants from the galleries, as used to be the
fashion in bygone days, or to hide her behind
a pyramid of baskets, pillows, harps, stars
and other emblems suggestive of a political
funeral, as is done now, is alike inartistic and
unseemly. How much more graceful it
would be for members of the audience to toss
from their places each a. single rose, or spray
of buds, which would carpet the stage and
make a bed of flowers for the actress to tread
uponI as blossoms are strewn in the path of a
bride. Surely this custom would be more
beautiful than that which is now in vogue,
and there would be a. sentimental phase to it
which is lacking now—namely, the fact that
the humblest as well as the grandest admirer
could afford to take part in tho demonstra
tion.—Washington Star -

COSTLY COFFINS FOR DOGS.
Canine Pots Buried In the Cemetery—A
Parrot's Casket in a Woman‘s Parlor.
ked about the truth of the report that he
had recently interred a dog in one of the pub-
lic cemeteries, a Broadway undertaker said:
“I was consultedaweek or so ago about
burying a dog, but the party has not ordered
a coffin yet. “I have furnished coffins, bow-
ovcr, for quite a number of dogs, and once a
coffin fora parrot. The highest priced cas-
kctI ever supplied foradog cost 8160. A
New York lady was the mourner. It was of
solid rosewood, carved, silver plate and
everything first class. I don’t remember
just what kind of a. dog it was. Its name
was on the plate.
“There is no ceremony abouts. dog’s fun-
eral. If the owner believes his dog has a
soul, he is very likelyto keep the belief to
himself, and if he didn’t it would probably
be rather difficult to get any minister to say
prayers over the four footed pet. The dog is
simply put into a child’s casket of fitting size,
and conveyed in a hearse wagon to a come-
tery. There the human mourners are in
waiting, and there are some quite striking
exhibitions of grief over the departed uni.
mod, whose bark has been launched, as it
were, on the waters of oblivion.
“Do the cemetery authorities object to sue
interments?" '
“Certainly not. At least I have not heard
of their objecting, even if they had a legal
right to do so. The dogs are interred in the
private burial lots of the owners.
“No monument tbatI am aware of has
been erected to a dog, but the owner fixes
somo way of telling whero the animal is
buried. The average price paid forndog’s
casket is from $50 to $75, and the plates with
name are usually silver, and sometimes
plated. Pointers and setters are the dogs
mostly favored with such luxurious burial,
and ladies are in the majority of those who
bestow the costly post mortem honors. on
their canine friends.
“The casket for the parrot of which I have
spoken," he added, “was really an exquisite
work of art, and the cost of manufacture
alone was over 8200. It was one foot ton
inches [in length, of solid rosewood, hand
carved and hand polished, and tho mountings
of solid silver, while the linings were of the
richest quality. Beneath the outer cover
was a. pinto glass covering, through which
the dead bird, which had been carefully om-
baimed, could be gazed upon by its devoted
mistress.”
The reporter was shown a. photograph of
the casket, and it appeared to be fit for a de-
ceased prinoeling. The parrot has not been
interred, but the lady keeps the casket, with
the remains, in her parlor, and it isto be
buried with her when she dies. She has said
that the bird saved the lives of herself and
her late husband, in India, by giving timely
warning of the presence of robbers.
A woman recently attempted to have 0. pet
dog interred in Riverside park, but being de-
nied that privilege she caused the body to be
weighted and sunk in the river near the park.

How Burglar-s Have Their Tools Blade.
P. J. Jennings, an east side engineer and
machinist, tells an interesting story about his
dealings with a burglar. He was, sitting in
his office one day a. few months ago when two
men entered with a design they wanted made
of steel. He took the job and turned it out
according to order. The men came next day,
and after chatting pleasantly about the boo-
dle alderman and other matters of popular
interest in the city, paid their bill and went
away. Several other designs were brought
him by the two men, and he got to know them
quite well. He did not learn their business,
however, but it is such a common thing to
deal with men whom one knows only by sight
that Mr, Jennings never bothered his head
about it. '
But he found out who the men were after
all.
One day they called to have him make half
a dozen eight inch steel screws. He promised
them for 5 o'clock, but the men did not come.
He did not see them the next day or the next.
On the third day one of Pinkerton’s detect-
ives dropped in upon him in the afternoon,
carrying a. handsachel. He opened it and
threw a lot of curiously shaped pieces of steel
on the table.
“Were those made in your shop, Mr. J on—
nings!” casually remarked the detective.
“Yes, that’s our work.”
“Who did you make them for?”
“Now you’ve got me—it’s more than I can
tell. I never had any reason to inquire, and
the men didn’t bother about telling me.”
“But you are sure you made that steel work
here?"
“Yes, oh yes; I’m sure enough of that.”
Two days later Mr. Jennings was sub-
poenaed by the prosecution as a witness
against two men who had attempted to crack
the safe in a. bank in Ellenvillo, Ulster
county. He met a Harlem machinist and an
-iron worker from down town at the court
house in Kingston. Pinkerton’s men opened
wide their eyes when he took the pieces of
steel that each had shaped, and, putting them
together, showed what a perfect sectional
jimmy they made—Now York Star.
Cast of Fencing in England.
Profm Scott, in his recent book on
“Farm and Fence;” estimnm that for every
acre of inclomd land in the. United Kingdom
there is over £1invosted in fences; and that
the annual maintenance of these fences costs
something like three shillings per acre. Tak-
ing these figures in the aggregate, as applied
to tho 45,000,000 acres of inclosed land in the
United Kingdom, he shows the total capital
sunk in fences to be nearly £50,000,000,
and the annual maintenance and re-
pair of these fences to cost at least
£6,750,000. There is no denying, he
thinks, that many existing fences might be
dispensed with to the great advantage of
agriculture, quite apart from the expense of
maintaining them. He also points out that
the extended introduction of a cheap and
durable system of wire fencing renders pos-
sible still further economy in the matter of
fences, referring more especially to barb
wire fences, in which fewer lines of wire
make an equally efficient fence, and that
with only one-half to one-fourth the number
of posts which it is considered necessary to
use in plain wire fencing or in post or rail
fences—London Times
Corning Metal for Heavy Guns.
“Aluminumbronzc” is expected to be the
coming motel for heavy guns. In a paper
read before the Naval institute at Annapolis,
Alfred H. Cowls will argue that guns can
bc made of this _ alloy that will have a. much
higher tensile strength and ductility than
the finest quality of mild steel forgings; that
it would be impossible to burst a gun cast
from this alloy with four times the powder
pressure now used in the “built up” steel
gun; and finally, that the plants required for
producing aluminum bronze and casting guns
therefrom would not require more than one-
third as great an outlay as plants for the
construction of built up guns.
Mr. Cowlcs also estimates that guns can be
cast from aluminum bronze at. 20 per cent.
less cost than the forged guns of steel, while
60 per cent. of this cost will be capital stored
away in the metal of the gun, which metal
can be remelted and used an indefinite num-
ber of times—Boston Transcript.

HABIT OF EARLY RISING. I-“
flow the [inalienable Rights of Boyhood
Arc Invariant—Other Bad Habits.
“Early rising,” Dl'. Scldcn said, “was one
of the surest means by which insanity is ac-
quired." He said this habit was originally
formed or forced by our Puritan forefathers
in New England. Probably many of us can
remember the rude shocks by which we were
awakened when youngsters early in the
morning, and before our brains and bodies
were sufficiently rccuperatcd by sleep from
the exhaustions and excitements of the pro-
vions day.
Some of us can remember that rousing old
command, “Get up, now, right away, or you
can’t have any breakfast.” There was a
command, coupled with a threat, and ap-
plied in such amunner us to kindloin the
heart of the sleeping lion (or rather boy) the
fierce fires of a. stubborn resistance. The in-
alienable rights of growing boyhood had
been invaded, and the hot, burning passion
of anger was excited in the heart of the boy
at the very outset of another day’s experi-
ence. Wlion roused from~ sleep by such a.
startling injunction, the boyish victim re-
mained “as mad as a March hare” all day. A
peremptory command to get up when one’s
sleep is as yet unfinished is a command which,
grinds the soul, curdlcs the blood, swells the
spleen, upsets all good intentions, and dis-
turbs for an entire day the mental activities
of a boy, just as a tornado disturbs and
levels with advancing ruin agforcst of mighty
pmec. - I .
“Another habit, but a. lcsltpcrnicious one,
is that of rising too late in the morning,
while still another habit tefiding to bring on
insanity is the habit of rousing one’s self sud-
denly after u long night’s sleep. After the
brain has been in an anaemic condition for
several hours, and after the mental processes .
have been practically suspended during that
period, the resumption of mental activity
should be very gradual. 'A person who
wakons suddenly, shakes himself and jumps
out of bed as if he was struck by lightning,
will certainly injure his own brain if be con-
tinues that habit for a sufficient lengtlvof
time. The sudden filling of the blood vosols
by too sharp activity after waking will in
time produce relaxation, or possibly rupture,
in the walls of the cerebral vessels. A per-
son should waken himself slowly, and should
rest a short time after waking, indulging in
some light, genial, mental operation, just
enough to stimulate to normal activity the
brain forces before he rises from the recum-
bent positiom—Herald of Health.
Journey of the Human Jaw.
The noonday customers were dropping out
one by one from a Sansom street restaurant,
when a. dyspeptic looking man who sat at the
next table startled me by saying: “Have you
any idea how many miles a man’s jaw will
travel in the course of his life, assuming that
he lives to be 70 years of ago?"
“Well, I never thought of it,” answered a
young man, who halted in his wild career of
beefsteak. The dyspeptic mun changed his
seat and exposed a much soiled piece of paper
with some figures on it, which he proceeded
to explain:
“For the first ten years a. child’s jaw will
go about 55 inches daily, or 200,750 inches ul-
together in a decade. From his 10th to his
20th year, what with chewing gum, food and
tobacco, he will work his jaw for, say, four
hours a day, at an average of one-half an inch
per minute; that would make in a. day 120
inches, or in ten years 438,000 inches. During
this time he will talk about five hours a day,
traversing about three—fourths of an inch 11
minute with his jaw; that would give in ten
years 32,250 inches to be added to our
, former figures. -
“For the next forty-five years he will
spend sixty minutes a. day in eating, when he
will open his mouth half an inch in minute,
and seven hours in talking, when he will av-
erage five-cighths of an inch; that is, when
you figure it out, 5,008;625 inches.
“We now have our man 65 years old. For
the last five years his jaw takes a rest. He
will eat no more than thirty minutes a. day at
one-half inch 0. minute, or 27,345 inches, and
in talking the distance traveled will not
amount to more than 338,500 inches. N ow
for the total. 'If we add the various sums to-
gether we get 6,835,470 inchs, and dividing
by 63,360, the number of inch in a mile, you
find that the maxillary -j ; is a distance
of 107 miles and a fraction.” .
“That is certainly interesting," said the
young man. “Have you ever calculated the
same lip trip for a woman?”
“My dear boy,” came the slow, sad reply,
“life is short.”—Philadelph.ia News.
Carrying 3 “Lucky Piece."
Two ladies met on Woodward avenue. As
they stopped to speak one of them dropped
her pocketbook and the money in it; rolled
out on the sidewalk.
“Too had,” said the other as she assisted
her friend to restore the contents; “it’s such
bad luck to drop money unless it belongs t
some one else.” -
“I don’t mind,” ansWered the owner of the
pocketbook, “because you see I carry a lucky
piece.” _
This habit of carrying a piece of money for
luck has become something more than a su-
perstition since it is a. practice common
among all classes
“I wouldn’t take $100 for that Sixpence,”
said a staid business man recently. “I found
it in my mother‘s purse when she died and I
have'always kept it as a souvenir.”
He did not say that it brought him luck or
that ho had any superstition connected with
it, but he unconsciously valued it as a charm.
There is a piece of bone that is taken from a
a. fish, called a sheep’s head, which shows
plainly the imprint of the letter “L.” The-
atrical people value this very highly as a
lucky piece.
The Scotch have a. fashion of handing back
a trifling bit of coin when a payment is
made. This is called a. lucky penny, and is
always carefully treasured.
It is almost impossible to find 0. pocketbook
;hnt does not have some trifling charm in it
to bring luck to its owner. It may be a
coin, a stone, 3 chicken’s wishbone, a. child’s
first tooth or a. smooth Sixpence, but it is ex-
pected to accomplish some or all of these
missions: Keep off disease; avert the evil
eye; protect the person carrying it from bod-
ily harm; bring prosperity in business, lovo,
courtship and marriage; thwart the evil dev
signs of enemies; insure a safe journey and
perform many other apparent miracles—De-
troit Free Press.
How steamship Clerks Acquire Books.
“You wonder how I am so well posted in
the current literature of the day,” said a
clerk in one of the large steamship lines.
“Well, I will tell you: Every steamer that
arrives I board as soon as she reaches the
dock. When the passengers have gone wo—
that is, the clerks—gather up the books left
behind or purposely cast away by the passen-
gers. They read all the , latest English,
French and German books on the voyage,
and we take care of them after. Yes; I have
carried off of one steamship fiftyfirst class
novels that cost from one to five shillings on
the other side, and couldn’tlbo bought hero
for twice that. Sometimes the stewards got
them and sell them to book dealers; but
more frequently they resell them to passen-
gers who want something to pass away the
timo."——Now York Star.
name's seed. Sewing.
The woody melon-she ed fruit of the sand-
box tree of the West ndies is made into a.
neat box by sawing off the top and scooping
out the seeds and is used in Barbados: for
holding sand. When, however, the fruit is
allowed to ripen on the tree,it bursts ex-
plosively, scattering the seeds over the
ground. An experimenting naturalist recently
sought to preserve a specimen of the fruit by
drying carefully, but it exploded with such
violence as to destroy the box containing it.

VACCINE VIRUS.
How THE BOARD OF HEALTH PRE-
PAnES AND DISTRIBUTES lT.
Visit to the Stable in New York City
W'hcre Unfortunate Calves Are Made,
Benefactors of Humanity Against Their
Wills-Modus Operandl.
The left extends about twenty-five feet 011
Mott street and runs back about eighty feet,
and is divided longitudinally into a stable for
the calves and an operating room. Ranged
along the northern part of the stable are
twenty tiny stalls, and back of these are the
"cribs whence the animals take their food. And
it is good food that the calves get, for the
better condition the calf is in the better the
vaccine will be and the less likely are injuri-
ous effects to follow when it is used on a hu-
man being. This stable is in charge of a
competent groom, who devotes himself to the
care of the animals, watching any changes
in their condition and treating them accord-
ingly. He, too, sees that they are given all
the hay and Indian meal they can digest. At
the south of this stable is the operating room,
the torture chamber of the animals when
they are subjectal to the luncet of the vac-
cinntor. At the side next to the stable is the
bench upon which the animal is stretched
when undergoing operation, and about the
room are shelves upon which lie hundreds of
goose quills, treated with virus, drying so as
to be ready for use. This room is airyund
well ventilated.
The board of health (low not buy its own
calves. Mr. Young, the proprietor of the
stable, has an arrangement by which he pur-
chases the animals, and after they have been
vaccinated he sells them again, charging the
health board the difference between the buy-
ing and selling price and a commission on the
transaction. They all come from the big
stockyai'd, where the men know about what
the doctors want, and take much trouble to
pick out the particularly healthy animals.
Then they are brought to the lower floor of
the stable, where the veterinary surgeon as-
signed to the vaccination bureau makes a
careful examination of the animal. The ani-
mal, if pronounced in fit condition, is trotted
up stairs and given one of the little stalls in
the top story. There he is allowed to remain
until he has fod well and is feeling as though
he had at last found comfortable quarters.
Then he is hauled out; by his nose and tail to
the operating room. There he is held quietly
until one of the attendants buckles a. strap
around his left hind leg. This strap, at-
tached to a pulley rope, is given a strong pull
by an attendant, and up goes the calf on the
vaccinating table with a thud and a snort of
decided displeasure. But his struggles are
utterly useless, for by this time a. heavy band
is buckled over his nose and neck and fore-
icgs. Then he is at the mercy of the surgeon.
But. the latter dose not vaccinate at once.
He lathers tho inside of the calf’s hind legs
and then carefully shaves away all the hair.
Then the animal is allowed to go back to his
stall and rest awhile until the vaccinator has
arranged his virus and his vaccine “spades.”
These are long points of bone and are used
on the calves because they will hold more of
the virus than the ordinary quill. Because
they are big and hold more than sufficient
virus to vaccinate an infant they are kept
exclusively for the animals. After a rest of
an hour or so the calf is trotted out of his
stall again and again tossed over on its side
upon the vaccinating board. Then the real
work begins. The doctor takes a big six
bladed lancet and holding the knives to-
gether cuts the shaven skin of the animals as
to just pierce the outer layer. Then the op-
erator uses his lancet at right angles with the
original cuts and so abrades the skin that it
will readily receive the virus from the
“spade.” But the “spade” is not used at
first. The work begins thus: All the blood
is carefully cleaned away from the abrasion
andthen a quill holding a. Sinai] amount of
virus is rubbed upon the spot. Then comes
the “spade,” which holds about four times as
much virus as the ordinary quill. The virus
from this is rubbed in carefully and then the
calfisledback to his stall. Asnrule four
abrasions are made upon the shaved skin of
the animal' .
According to the statements of the physi-
cian in charge of the vaccine stable, the
calves show no evil effects from tho vaccina-
tion. Their appetite is unimpaired, in fact
they eat more than they did before the opera-
tion and show none of that lassitude infants
and adults often do after vaccination. Their
allowance of food is increased. In this way
the calves are treated for about seven days
when the virus has done its work, and again
the animal is placed upon the operating board
and then tho important business of collecting
the virus begins. For doing this, the quills
and “spades” are prepared for the reception
of the virus. The quills which are taken
from Russian geese are purchasablo from an
importer named Do Young, who charges the
health department $10 a. thousand for them.
They are tied up in bundles of 100, and sent
to the vaccine stables, where men cut them
into convenient lengths, and scrape the ends
so that they will hold the virus. The animal
is placed upon the operating board as before
and the roughened end of the quill used to
take the vaccine. Then comes the drying
process, and subsequently the treated quills
are put into hermetically sealed jars and
stored in an ice closet. They are then ready
to be used on the most delicate skin for the
prevention of smallpox.
When the board of health has finished with
the calves, they are ordered by Mr. Young to
the stock yards, where they are either sold or
slaughtered. As the calves used are princi-
pally the healthiest that come into the mar-
:et, the former fate generally awaits them,
but farmers are somewhat shy of vaccinated
calves and will not give so much for them as
they will for those which have not been
treated-New York Commercial Advertiser.
‘ Oakland’s Real Estate Boom.
The Oakland real estate boom has, in a
great measure, subsided, but the people up
there came very near going crazy while the
thing lasted. In the height of the boom it
was fashionable to sell tide lands, and very
frequently the lots sold were and are covered
at high tide. A stranger from the east pur-
chased two fifty foot lots, without ever hav-
ing seen them, and shortly afterward he had
a chance to sell them again. Calling upon
the agents who had sold them, he said:
“I would like to see those lots I bought the
other day, as I have an opportunity to sell
thorn.”
“Have you over seen those lots?” asked the
agent.
“Never.”
“lVell,” said the real estate man, “it is new
just 2:30, high tide. Those lots are covered
by water, and if you will come around at
exactly 3:15 they will be uncovered and you
can soc them.”—Los Angelcs Tribune.
The N'gunga of the Negro.
A few words, now, on the fotich doctor or
medicine man, the N ’gungo of the negro, who
is also his priest, physician, and chief jus-
tice. If any one in the village dies, the
negroes who cannot. comprehend that any
one should die a natural death, believe that
he must have been killed by cnchantment or
by the evil influence of some other person; in
short, that another person was the cause of
his death. It is N’ganga business to find out
who this person is. He consults with the
spirits by moonlight, and communicates the
result of his interview to the people.
The accused person is then subjected to the
trial by cassa. Cassa is the bark of a large
tree, the erythrophtaaum guineonse (legu—
minosae caesalpsneaa), and contains a. very
strong poison. The delinquent is forced to
drink a solution of this bark which has been
prepared by the N’gauga. If he vomits the
draught up immediately be is innocent, but
if it remains in his stomach he must die. In
this case the negroos never wait for the op-
eration of the poison, but fell upon him with
sticks and stones or drive the life out of him
in some still more savage way. The issue of
the trial by case. of course lies with the
N’ganga, and if the delinquent can pay
enough that functionnry will probably save
his life—Popular Science Monthly.
A Six Finger-ed Family.
One of the most remarkable cases in medi-
cal annals, as summarized in a French jour-
nal, has reference to a six fingered family,
covering five generations and including
twenty-seven individuals. The first instance
in this line was that of a man born in 1752,
who had six toes on one foot; in the second
generation a son with six toes on one foot
and a. daughter normal; third generation,
this daughter had five children, among whom
were a. son and daughter, each having six
fingers on each hand; of the fourth genera-
tion the daughter lust mentioned had eight
children, including one son and two daugh-
ters, each having six fingers on each hand
and six toes on each foot; of the fifth genera-
tion, a daughter had three children, includ-
ing a son doubly deformed like his mother,
and a son with six fingers on each hand, the
feet being normal. Moreover, one of the two
daughters of the fourth generation—with
only the hands affected—had eight children,
several of whom were normali developed,
but the rest were deformed as 'ollows: One
daughter had an ossoous thickening of the
digital extremity and on the outer border of
the fifth metacarpal; one son had six fingers
on each hand and six toes on each foot; and
another son had six fingers on each hand.—

CEIIIITRRI ASSOCIATION.
The grounds of this Association are
situated in the Borough of Non-walk, just
north of the Union Mills, between Spring
Hill Road and Riverside Avenue, and
may be reached by good and well-kept
roads from all directions. The cemetery
is divided into twenty-two sections, with
Broad Avenues
and suitable streets, and the contour of
the land is such that every taste may be
gratified in the selection of plots. The
avenues are so arranged as to afford
an almost
Continuous Drive
to all the different sections, and are
crossed in every direction by the streets
so that carriages may reach every plot in
the entire cemetery. An Elegant
Receiving Vault
of large capacity, and fitted with all,
modern improvements, is near the
entrance gate.

The entire space is not plotted, but
52 Vault Lots, reservations for 517 single
