A policeman, who has distinguished him- self in stopping runaway horses, gives the following points as to how to accomplish that end with the greatest success: When you see a runaway coming do not try to check him by a rush from the opposite direction or the side, for you will be immediately knocked flat by the collision; but, instead, prepare yourself for a short run with the horse. Measure with your eye the distance, start for the'run while he is yet some way off, perhaps ten feet, in the case of fair to medium run- aways. You may depend upon his keeping a straight line, for a really frightened horse is half blind and would not veer for a steam engine. He will go straight ahead until he smashes into something. So do not get close to the line on which he is rushing, and as he passes you grab the reins near the saddle. Gather the reins firmly; then, leaning backward as you run, give them a powerful yank. You may be able to brace yourself somewhat as you give this jerk, half sliding on your feet. The strong jerk on the bit tells the horse that he again has a. master, and prepares him for the final struggle. A step or two forward after the first yank, do it again. This is the finishing stroke. It never fails when given by a determined man. The horse is on its haunches. Keep a firm pull on the reins till you grasp the horse by the nostrils, and hold him so till he is pacified—Medical Classics. \Vanted the Measles. A little 4-year-old cried as though his heart was ready to snap asunder. He want- ed to visit his playmate, Eddie Small, who lives across the way, and his mother wouldn’t permit it. “You mustn’t go over to play with Eddie, now, my dear,” said the fond mother; “I have already told you that he has the measles, and you’re sure to catch them if you gonear him.” The little fellow cried louder than ever, and between sobs and tears the mother heard him say: “I want to catch the measles, ma; that’s why I want to go over." This rather startling desire on the part of the youngster led to curiosity, and when the mother wanted to know what had made him so ambitious, he replied: “I heard Eddie’s ma say that since Eddie catched the measles she bought him lots of nice new playthings. I want a drum and a baseball and rattle; that’s what I Want. Please, mamma, let me catch the measles.” —Cleve1and Plain Dealer. The Trout a Creel Will Hold. “What perverse creatures you trout are,” exclaimed an Angler who had exhausted his patience and stock of flies in vain attempts to induce some of the trout to rise. “You do not know your own mind for half an hour atatime, and it is impossible to tell what you do want. on you.” “Not more perverse than you are,” mused a Trout who had overheard the remarks made by the Angler. “For the purpose of weighing some objects you allow sixteen ounces to the pound; when you weigh gold you call twelve ounces a pound, and when you weigh us your scale is very elastic. I have known trout to weigh a. pound which, according to a. troy or avcirdupois scales, would not weigh more than six ounces. In fact there does not seem to be any fixed weight to our species. I have known the elasticity of your scales to be so great that a, five pound creel held twenty-two pounds of trout.”—New York Herald. Phosphorescent Powders. From some interesting observations on phosphorescent powders by E. Becquerel, these results are summarized: 1. Sulphur and pure carbonate of calcium give very slight phosphorescence. 2. Sulphur and pure carbonate of calcium plus 0.5 to 1.5 per cent. of soda give brilliant green phosphor- escence. 3. Sulphur and pure carbonate of calcium plus traces of manganese or bismuth give little or no phosphorescence. 4. Mix- ture as No. 3, but with 1 percent. of soda, gives strong yellow or blue phosphorescence. 5. Mixture as No. 1, plus traces of lithia, gives intense green phosphorescence. 6. Sulphur and oyster shells, etc., give red phosphorescence. 7. Mixture as No. 1, plus traces of rubidium, gives red phosphores- cence. 8. Sulphur and pure carbonate of strontium give very faint bluish green phos- phorescence. 9. Sulphur and pure carbonate of strontium plus soda gives bright green phosphorescence. -—New York Telegram. Tea in France. Tea is so little an article of necessity in France that the total consumption in 1888 for 38,000,000 of inhabitants was only a little over 1,000,000 pounds, the greater part of which was probably consumed by English, American and Russian visitors and residents. The average per head of the population was 13% grammes, or less than half an ounce. The use of tea, instead of increasing, is di- minishing, as the average per head was 14% grammes in 1886 and 1887. Coffee, 011 the other hand, increases in favor, and the cons sumPtion has more than quadrupled since 1841, and nearly doubled since 1861. It reached its maximum of 136,000,000 pounds 1111886, and was 134,000,000 pounds, or more lash 13% pounds per head, in 1888.—0nce a co Unfortunate Poles. Freddie—0h, auntie!

IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE LIFE OF A YOUNG INDIAN BRAVE. His Courage and Physical Endurance Put to a Severe Test—Dancing on His Heels for Forty-eight Hours, in the Hot Sun, Without a Drop of Water. A sun dance is a more important event in the life of a young Sioux buck than the “coming out” ball of a society debutante, for in his case it transforms a boy into a. war- rior, and gives him a standing in his band that he must achieve or be looked upon with contempt as a “coffee cooler,” an expressive term used by the Indians, meaning one who hangs around a camp to beg for what is left after his betters have been served. No buck can appear in council and talk—a. function as dear to the Indian’s heart as it is to the before mentioned society belle—unless he has gone through with the physical discomforts of this ceremonial dance. AN IMMENSE DANCE HOUSE. The dance, which lasts about two days, oc- curs about once a year, in July or August. Notice of the date and place of holding is sent by runners to all the different bands of the Sioux tribe. Having been told by a friend of mine, Standing Elk, chief of a band of Spot- ted Tail Indians, who spoke excellent English when asking for whisky or tobacco, that old Spot’s outfit were going to have a sun dance near their agency, on tho Keya-Paha, about thirty-five miles from the post where I was serving, in Dakota, I get up a. party of offi- cers to ride over and see it. Standing Elk, who was to be the grand marshal, agreed to provide us with reserved seats. After some difficulty we found the place, and saw before us, on a rising plateau on the other side of the peaks of the Keya-Paha, hundreds of tepees and several thousands of bucks, squaws and papooses, also a great mass of other animal life. There were 14,000 or 15,000 Indians present. This crowd, mounted and on foot, was centering on the big dance house, where the festivities were in full blast, the dancing having begun with the first rays of the sun, all of the dancers having spent the previous night seated in a circle in the center of this tepee waiting for the sun to rise. , The Wa-che-pee tepee (or dance house) was an immense circle, inclosed on the outside, except a wide entrance by posts set in the ground; the spaces filled in with brush, with a shade of the same built over the top. The middle of this inclosure—cccupied by the dancers-was open to the full glare of a pow- erful sun. All around this circle, on the posts supporting the shade, were hung ban- ners of different colored calicoes, painted buf- falo hides and gayly decorated shields of the same material. The general effect was that of a circus. In the center of the circle was planted a tall cottonwood pole, from which were hung banners, lariats, buffalo heads, medicine bags, bunches of painted porcupine quills, bundles of birds’ feathers and large figures of men cut out of buffalo hide. This pole was cut, hauled to its place and planted by a num- ber of maidens the evening before. It is the only part of the ceremony women are al- lowed to participate in. They are even ex- cluded from the inclosure, but are kindly al- lowed to gratify their curiosity by peeping through the outside brush. The orchestra, located opposite the en- trance, consisted of six enormous tomtoms, operated by as choice a body of thieves and cutthroats as ever murdered music. The dance, being continuous from the rising of the sun until the going down on the second day, requires unceasing music, so there was a, detail of musical experts to relieve each other at stated intervals. A SEVERE TEST. The dancers, more than 150—most of them youngsters going through the ordeal for the first time—are ranged around the center pole, keeping time with the tcmtoms with a pecu- liar step that requires one foot at a time to be raised, while the weight of the body is brought down on the heel that is touching the ground. The body is crouched and bent forward with the arms raised, the right arm being extended above the head when the left foot is down, and the left arm when the right foot is down. This alternating motion constitutes the dance, and can be kept up without gaining ground. But the fresh youths occasionally spring both backward and forward and thereby elicit ap- plause. All the time the dancers must face the sun and look at it. They are not allowed any head covering, and are stripped naked, except a. breech clout. The dancers hold in their mouths whistles, made out of the bones of turkeys’ wings, which they blow us they breathe, the object being to keep the mouth dry. They are not allowed water or food during the whole time of the dance (about forty-eight hours). To intensify their desire for water, which is the harder of the two to bear, several philanthro- pists go among them with water, which they pour from a cup into a bucket in front of the dancers so they can see and smell it. These philanthropists are accompanied by good Samaritans, who assist the power of the sun by flashing light from a looking glass into the dancers’ eyes. Only the most tender hearted of these cul- tured children of nature are intrusted with these delicate missions, and they must belong to different lodges than the dancers they ap- pear before. Their desire is to break down the dancers, while it is a matter of pride with the members of the lodges to which these youngsters belong to succeed, and it is permissible for a. buck, not one of the dancers, to go alongside of a tired friend and let him lean his back against him, both keep- ing up the dance. Although the dance was not more than six or seven hours old when we appeared, there were several dancers be- ing assisted in this manner. The only cessa- tion of the dance allowed the dancer (each one gets his chance) is when the big medicine man, who stands near the center pole, calls him up to be operated upon. But he is only permitted to stand still long enough to en- dure that pleasure, which consists in having incisions made in the flesh of his breasts or on his back below the shoulder blades, through which are run throngs of deer skin, to which are tied either a buffalo head or a lariat, taken from the pole. While this matter of sight and sound is kept up a warrior will enter the circle, and in aloud voice crate to the crowd, telling of his exploits in the good times gone by, when scalping was not a lost art. This dance I’m telling cf was held the next summer after the Custer massacre, and several of the audience present had been actively engaged in it. These craters talk well, and what they say is lis- tened to with great attention. It fires the young men’s hearts with a desire to emulate the deed’s described, and keeps the dancers nerved up to go through with an ordeal which will entitle them to appear and tell what they have done, even if it only consists in the killing of an old Ponca squaw. Sun dance is a fair trial of a man’s ability to endure discomforts. And when a young buck has successfully gone through with it he is entitled to be considered qualified for the vicissitudes of a warrior’s life.-—Capt. Allen Smith in Pittsburg Dispatch. _ universally grown from suckers. The Cause of Mirage. There are days on which, in certain weather, and despite 'the curvature of the earth, the distance of visibility is doubled, or more than doubled. This phenomenon is explained to us by a well known law of physics. If we throw a coin into an empty vessel, it will be hidden by the edge of the latter at a certain distance; but if we fill the vessel with water the coin will become visible. \Ve have here a. case of refraction, such as is explained in elementary works on physics. Every one also knows the theory of tho mirage put forth by the celebrated Monge, who explains the phenomenon as due to a diminution of the air’s density in contact with the super- heated earth. A contrary theory will ex- plain the mirage at sea. While the sun is making the atmosphere intensely hot the sea and the strata of air in contact therewith remain relatively cold, and these strata become superposed in the order of their density. A luminous ray ema- nating from the sea will pass from one stra- tum into another of less density, there will be a refraction, and an object beneath the hori- zon will be seen above it. This theory sup- poses two conditions, to wit: A heating of the atmosphere, while the sea and the earth remain relatively cold, and a calmness of it to permit its strata to become superposed in the order of their density. It is precisely when these two conditions are fulfilled that the phenomenon of the mirage occurs. On such days ships rise instead of descending in measure as they recede. As the horizon is perceived by direct visibility a ship is finally seen above the horizon as if it were suspend- ed in the air. If atmospheric conditions were favorable a second ship would be seen above the first, etc. Certain mariners worthy of credence have assured me that they have seen as many as seven superposed ships—Emil Sorel in Nature. Banana Culture. The edible banana, it is said, is known to seed only in one small spot on earth, the Au- daman islands. However this may be, it is Its culti- vation in the West Indies has vastly increased during the past fifteen years, owing to the demands of the United States for its cheap, wholesome and luscious fruit. About 400 or 500 trees are planted to the acre, and the plantations are called “banana walks.” In former days any available spot was chosen, usually an abandoned cane field, where the ground was most easily prepared for the new crop. But experience and competition have brought about more careful methods of planting, and the best place for a banana walk is now considered a valley or hillside with a western prospect. The tree fruits the first year, and the expense of cultivation is so small that a bunch of bananas, delivered at the sea coast, need have cost its owner no more than four or five cents, while it may be sold in the winter months for from twelve to eighteen cents, and in the spring months for four times as much. There are risks attend- ing banana cultivation, however, for the thievish negroes often seriously decrease the value of a crop, and it may be entirely swept away in a single hour by a. hurricane. As soon as the bananas begin to cast a shade, young cocoa plants are set out between them, as this tree needs protection from the sun in its youth, and when the bananas cease to be profitable, which is at the end of three or four years, almond trees or other fruit trees are often set in their places, while a new “walk” is laid out elsewhere. —Boston Budget. ~ Rattlers on the Rampage. According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, there was a scene of wild commotion in the crowded waiting rooms of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton depot, caused by the sudden arrival of unwelcome visitors. They were snakes, and of the variety known as rattlers. Their snakelets, four of them, here in the baggage room awaiting transportation to a museum in New Orleans. How they got out no one knows. The first intimation of their presence wasa wild shriek from a female, who hastily climbed on to a seat, pulling her skirts up around her ankles. ' A snake about five feet long was crawling slowly across the floor, his head undulating first in one direction and then the other, as if uncertain where to go, and closely following his first snakeship were three others. all wriggling in the liveliest manner. There was a hurried scurrying of the hun- dred or more commuters in the room, and standing room on the benches was speedily at a premium. Several passengers forgot all about their trains and rushed up Fifth street. Finally Depot Watchman Dennis O’Dowd ap- peared, and with his cane and a poker picked up one of the squirming rattlers and put him back in the box. Snake No. 2 was found curled up under a stool in front of the lunch counter, on top of which was standing a scared girl. He, too, was put in the box. By this time, however, the other two reptiles got away, and the closest search failed to find them. Fechter-’3 Neglected Grave. In a little cemetery near Philadelphia is the grave of an actor who belonged to three na- tions, and who honored all—Charles Fechter -—who was of partly English descent, of French education, and was American in his latest triumphs and his place of burial. His resting place is thus described by a gentleman who lately visited the spot: “A marble bust of the romantic actor which formerly stood on the monument has been replaced by a duplicate of clay, which is rapidly succumb- ing to the destructive attacks of the elements. Weeds cover the small inclosure, which is in . a prominent part of the grounds, where its neglect is conspicuous to all visitors.” Actors are always prominent in movements that have for their object the benefiting of other classes, but they are sadly indifferent to honoring their own profession. The per- sonal friends of the late John McCullough have erected a stately monument to his memory, and this is as it should be, for his claims to recognition were personal rather than representative. Edwin Forrest needs no nobler monument than the Forrest home. But the American dramatic profession should as a body raise a statue to the memory of the elder Booth, and actors of three nations might gracefully unite in paying tribute to the name of Charles Fechter. The title role of Hamlet, to which he lent the charm of his sensibility and originality, is today being played in the three countries that have a right to be proud of his fame—New York Star. A Skim Milk Cow. Deacon Blank, of the town of Lee, owned a large farm and hired, among other hands, a man by the name of Jacob. The deacon had bargained that Jacob should have bread and milk for supper every night, but took good care that the milk was first carefully skimmed, the cream for the cream pot and the skim milk for Jake. Jacob ate his bread and blue milk three evenings without a mur- mur. The next morning the deacon was awakened by a great commotion in the barn yard. Looking out he saw Jacob hanging to his best Jersey’s tail with one hand, while with the other he belabcred , her with a bean‘ pole as she flew around the inclosure. “There, gol dang you,” said Jake, “don’t you ever dare to give another drop of skim milk as longas you live.” And the deacon took good care that she didn’t.—Lewiston Journal. C i HOW IT CAME ABOUT. The Way 3 Popular Play 'J'as Written and an Old Custom Revolutionized. In “Leaves from a Dramatist’s Diary,” Dion Boucicault relates how he came to write one of his most successful plays. It was toward the close of 1850 that Boucicault entered into an engagement with Miss Laura Keene to perform five months at her theatre. the Olympic, in New York. He opened MJen- iiie Deans,” which met with great success, and was followed in time by “Vanity Fair,” a comedy in three acts, which failed. Mr. Boucicault, who writes his reminiscences in the third person, so to speak, continues in these words: “This work had been relied on to carry the engagements prosperously to the end of May; twelve weeks of disaster lay ahead, in which all the profits of the season and more, too, must inevitably disappear. “ ‘Have you nothing—mo subject, no play half written? Can you think of nothing to replace this unlocked for collapse?” pleaded Miss Keene. “ ‘I have nothing,’ replied Boucicault, ‘ex- ceptiug avery poor sketch of “LittlerDorrit,” and another of “Bleak House,” but let us meet to—morrow and talk it out.’ “It was a bitter night, and the sleet, driven by a northerly blast, lashed the author’s face as he turned up Broad way. A few doors from the theatre a dim light in a cellar showed that a thrifty little Italian, who sold cheap publications and small stationery, invited the belated pedestrian to buya home made cigar. His name was Brentauo. Descending into the den, where he knew he would find the usual display of ten cent literature, Bouci— cault asked for two novels, over which he in- tended to spend the hours of the night. Bren- tauo pointed to a shelf where a scanty row of cheap novels represented his stock in trade; from these the visitor selected a dozen at hazard, and with the pockets of his overcoat stuffed, he pushed his way through the sleet and darkness to Union square, near which he resided. The following morning Miss Keene received this letter: “MY DEAR LAURA—I have it! I send you seven steel engravings of scenes around Killarney. Get your scene painter to work on them at once. I also send a book of Irish melodies, with those marked I desire Baker to score for the orchestra. I shall read act one of my new Irish play on Fri- day; we rehearse that while I am writing the sec- ond, which will be ready on Monday; and we re- hearse the second while I am doingthe third. We can get the play out within a fortnight. “Yours, D. B. “Among the books picked up at Brentano’s was, happily, ‘The Collegians,’ by Gerald Griflin. Throwing it aside Boucicault evolved ‘The Colleen Bawn.’ These incidents may appear too trivial for such particular record, but these results will be seen to have a signal importance. The least important was the revolution effected by this play in what may be termed the Irish drama and the represen. tation'cf Irish character. But the adven‘ tures of the Colleen Bawn in England will be seen to have contributed mainly to a fun- damental change in theatrical affairs throughout the world. In September, 1860, it was produced in London at the Adelphi theatre, and its success enabled Mr. Bouci— cault to carry out the plans he had vainly endeavored to put into operation in 1852. He refused to allow the ‘Colleen Bawn’ to be played on royalty or fees. He engaged four comedians, Mr. John Drew, Mr. Sloane, Mrs. Sloane and Mrs. Hudson Kirby, and instruct- ed them in the principal characters. He cf- fered the play as the star, supported by this group of American comedians. He expe- rienced much resistance on the part of Inau- agers in the provincial theatres, but at last his terms were accepted, the play became the thing and the author received half the gross receipts. A second and a third company were organized and sent out. “In the following year he sent out ‘The Streets of London,’ and in 1865 he sent out three companies with ‘Arrah-na-Poguc.’ The leading dramatic authors, perceiving the very large profits accruing from this new method, began to secede from the Dramatic Authors’ society, and to follow the new method, under which the name of the author of the play was starred and his importance recognized. The provincial theatres became so overrun with these new companies that managers proposed to the authors to send out, not groups, but entire companies of comedians. By such means the managers could dispense with local companies alto- gether. This suggestion was accepted, and thus ‘stock companies’ were swept away. “At a meeting of the French dramatists and composers, held in Paris in 1866, Mr. Boucicault described this new method of harvesting the provincial theatres. The shrewd and practical Frenchmen adopted the idea at once. But it was not until after 1872 that the United States finally gave up stock companies and adopted the new sys- tem.” A Small Family. An old lady of 75 or more met an acquaint- ance in a Boston horse car, and imparted to her the information that she was intending to start shortly for California. “My only daughter lives out there,” added the old lady, “and I want to be with her. You know I’m an orphan.” More surprising even than this woman’s case was that of a “contraband” who came into the Federal lines in North Carolina, in 1863. He reported himself to the officer of the day, and the following dialogue ensued: “What’s your name?” “My name’s Sam.” “Sam what?” “No, sah, not Sam Watt; I’se just Sam.” “What’s your other name?” “I hasn’t got no oder name, sahl Sam—dat’s all.” “What’s your master’s name?” “I’se got no massa now—massa runned away. Yahl yahl I’se free now.” “Well, what’s your father’s and your mother’s name?” “I’se got none, sah—neber had none. just Sam—ain’t nobody else.” “Haven’t you any brothers and sisters?” “No, sah—neber had none—no brudder, no sister, no fader, no mudder, no massal Noth- in’ but Sam. When you see Sam you see all dere is of us.”—Youth’s Companion. I’se I’se Uses of the Phonograph. The phonograph seems destined to play an important part in the future, and it is being utilized in all sorts of ways, both “usefulfland ornamental.” If half of what the inventors claim for it comes true, the children of the near future are going to have some wonder- ful toys. Inventors are now at wor’k on a long list of nursery wonders, in all of which the new mechanism is to be the main feature. The phonographic doll will talk, laugh, cry and sing like a human being. Noah’s ark will contain a drove of neighing, braying, lowing, barking, mewing, hissing, cackling creatures that will rival a menagerie. The song notes of fine singing birds have been preserved on metal slips and the results com- bined, so that one may have a papier macho canary which will require no attention and which will sing with many times the volume and at many times the length of any. bird that ever lived.
