The Yankee Pedler,

There is sheriff now residing in .tht
State of Illinois who was rather "taken il
and done for" on one occasion. He made
it prominent part of his business to fer
ret out and punish pedlers for travelling
through the State without license bu!
one morning he 'tmet his mattel" pa gen
uine Yankee pedler.
"What have you got to sell ? Any
thing ?" asked the sheriff.
"Yaas, sartin' what would you like to
hev? Got razors-fust rate that's an
article you want, tew, Squire, should
say, by the looks of your baird. Got
good blacking; it'll make them old cow
hide boots o'yours shine so't you can
shave in 'em e'nnamost; Balm O. Clumby
tew only dollar bottle, good for the
h'r, 'assistin' poor natur', as the poet
saith"
And so he ratified on; at length the
sheriff bought bottle of the Balm Of Co.
lumbia, and in reply to the question
whether he wanted anything else, the
functionary said he did, he wanted to see
the Yankees license for peddling in Illi-
nois, that being his duty as high sheriff
Of the State.
The pedler showed him document
"fxed up good and strong" in black and
white.
The sheriff looked at it and pronoun-
ced it ''all right" Then handing it back
to the pedler, he said:
81 don't know now that I've bought
this stuff, that l shall ever want it. [
reckon I may as well sell it to you again.
What will you give for it ?"
ooh, l don't know that the darned
stuff is of any use to me, but seein' it is
you sheriff I'll give twenty-five cents for
it, eff you rally don't want it."
The sheriff handed over the bottle at
six shillings discount for his purchase,
and received his change.
"Now," said the pedler, I've got a
question tew ask you. Hev you got a
pedler's license about your trowsers any
where 2"
"No; l haven't any use for the article
myself )" replied the sheriff.
'Haint, Ell? Wal I guess we'll see
about that pooty darned soon. EFF | un
derstand the law, it's clear case that you
have been tradin' with me-hawkin' and
pedlin' Balm o'Clumby on the highway,
and I shall inform on you-darned if |
don't now!"
The Yankee was as good as his word.
When he reached the next village, he
made his complaint, and the sheriff was
fined eight dollars for selling without al
license
He was heard afterwards to say that
''you might as well try to hold creased
pig as live Yankee"

Annual Food of One Man.

The statistics Of the Quartermaster' 8
Department in the army go to prove that
each individual consumes about two and
quarter pounds of food daily, about
three-fourths vegetable and one-fourth an
imal, making an annual consumption OF
about 800 pounds. OF fluids, including
every variety of beverage, he swallows a.
bout 500 pounds, and taking the amount
of air which he consumes at 500 pounds,
the result will show that the food, water
and air which man receives amounts in
the aggregate to more than 5000 pounds
q year, that is ton and half, or more
than twenty times his own weight. In
view of the present price of provisions
these figures are rather startling, but they
are indisputable, and only serve to show
what vast amount of fuel is required to
keep the human machinery in vigorous
operation.

Fashion Criticisms.

We are about to say few words which

years ago there's music in those
words. Twenty years ago we saw sights
that would look queer now. Possibly it
may have been an illusion, incident to
tangled vision. Our good mothers and
grandmothers used to fold together two
corners of bandanna handkerchief, am
placing it on their heads, tie the oth1G
two corners under the chin. 1t made a
warm, substantial covering for the head,
at an expense of about eighteen pence
The same fashion prevails to day; only
there's a slight difference. We say yes

protected the lady's head neither from
rain, heat nor cold. 1t was charming /;

somebody else's hair depended from the
rear by a small pike-pole with a bomb
shell on either end. Modesty remarked
that she had named this modern bomb

Two weeks ago on Sunday we rode out
of church on a splendid silk robe, drawn
by lady full six feet distant. We tried
our best to avoid the necessity, but she
nsisted-it was all the style !! Mentally,
we replied-"Where's the use of street
cars 7"
Twenty years ago It was understood to
be fashionable to wear short night gowns

Interesting Incident Of the War,

Many instances have been given b.
travellers of the affection shown by tht
Arabian horses towards their masters
and so much, also, has been written tt
prove their sagacity, as to make one be
lieve, at times, that they must be endow-
ed with an instinct which approaches near
ly, if not quite, to the reasoning faculty
of human being. Be this, however, as
it may, we very much doubt if among the
feats narrated, of The horses of the East
any can be found that exceeds in affec-
tionate devotion the following incident,
which was told us few days since at
Saratoga by the soldier to whom it oc-
CURED. The narrator is young Irish
man, and like many others of his nation,
joined, shortly after his arrival in Amer
lea, Sheridan's brigade. Itwas in one of
those forced marches, when they had dri-
ven back the enemy and had been in the
srddle for several consecutive days and
nights, that this trooper availed himself
of temporary halt, to slip from his sad
die and stretch himself upon the turf
his horse, meanwhile, brousing in the
immediate vicinity. He had slept for
some little time, when he was suddenly
awakened by the frantic paving of his
horse at his side. Fatigued by his long
ride, he did not rouse at once, but lay in
that partially conscious state which so
frequently attends great physical prostra-
ton. Soon, however, the faithful animal,
perceiving that its efforts had failed to ac-
complish their object, licked his face, and
placing his mouth close to his ear uttered
loud snort. Now thoroughly awake, he
sprang up, and as the horse turned for
him to mount, he saw for the first time
that his comrades had all disappeared,
and that the enemy were coming down
upon him at full gallop. Once mounted,
the faithful beast bore him with the speed
of the wind safely from danger, and soon
placed him among his companions
"Thus," he added with emotion, "the no.
BILE fellow saved me from captivity and
perhaps from DEATH"
Can there be found on record a more
beautiful example of affectionate devotion
on the part of dumb brute to his mas
ter than this /? Undoubtedly similar ex-
amples have occurred during the recent war
which will forever be buried in oblivion.
Would that they might be brought to
light, if their narration could in any de-
gree mitigate the cruelty to which the
horse is subjected, especially in our large
cities, where many of the drivers are
more brutal than the beasts they have in
charge.-N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

Small Leaves.

1t is sound dietetic observation that
bread, if wished to be as easily digested
as possible, should be baked in small
loaves. The principal reason for this is
that the products of fermentation, which
are obstructive to digestion, escape more
completely from small loaf than from
large one. There is, moreover, less ne
cessity for putting the bread into a very
hot oven, or for keeping it in the oven SO
long time as to deprive it of the outer
part Of its nutritive qualities. Bread
baked in small loaves is sweeter to the
taste than when baked in large loaves
and this is probably because IL is more
entirely freed from the products of fer
menation Robertson on Diet.
