his tow-headed son, take in this basket
and empty it, and bring it out agin'. ="
Then turning to his honest neighbor, he
said:

If any reader of the Evening Post in
the country would test this discovery of
theft, let him pick one or two tomatoes,
separating the vines with his naked
hand, and then wash it. There is mys-
terious something about the plant, per-
fectly colorless, that instantly imparts
the green, which cannot be seen until
water removes it.

THAT WOMAN.
AN Injured Husbands Protest.

AN Injured Husband's PrOtest.
From the Virginia Enterprise.l
An outraged husband at Cheyenne,
Wyoming Territory where female suf-
frage and the political and social appur-
tenances thereto appertaining are recog-
nized ,denounces the female jnry business
through the Cheyenne Leader, and in
justification offers personal scrap from
his domestic history His wife was sum-
moned and impaneled as juror in an
important case When night came, the
case not being concluded, the husband
applied to the court to have his wife
sent home, as there we're several small
children there requiring her attention
the smallest, in fact, being in starving
condition, owing to the fact that it had
not been habituated to the use of the
bottle. But the husbands request was
denied. The judge said the jury could
not be separated. The husband then re-
quested permission to send the infant to
the mother. This was also refused, on
the ground that the law does not permit
thirteenth person in a jury room, and
there is no statute to show that an infant
in arms is not a person within the
intent and meaning of the law.
The desperate husband then attempted
to induce the court to send all the jurors
to his house for the night, but the effort
was failure, and the husband was in
formed that quarters had been provided
for his wife at the hotel, and that if he
wished to speak to her for a moment he
would have to take the place of the cook.
The husband went home. How he got
through the night is not told; but when
he learned the next day that the trial was
likely to last a week, he straightway pro-
ceeded to employ the best looking house
keeper and cook in the country. At
last accounts his wife was still on the
jury, but he was becoming resigned to
the situation-in fact, it may be said that
he was quite happy. The " brute con-
cludes his communication to the Leader
as follows:
II don't know how the ladies felt, but
| was perfectly satisfied with not only
the law of equal rights, but its practical
workings, as laid down to me. | most
respectfully and cordially invite any,
and all persons, those in favor of

frage. 1t is having fair trial. am

none to dispute My cook is perfect

asked how they like home without a

nary bird, which had faithfully and pa
tiently sat on her nest until yesterday,
got off and left, with one just hatched
and another egg pipped, and steadily re-
fused to come for her brood. If any one
can suggest any way to arrange canary
matter, the cook and ourselves can get
along in the domestic business.
All of which is significant. Should
the gentleman's wife ever get off that
jury, however, she will make it very
troublesome for the cook, with whom he
is getting along so we'll But, perhaps,
the story is fiction. Nevertheless, it
might all be true under the laws of Wy
oming, and the lesson remains.

4 Ring as a petectire.



In August last a young lady, a resi-
dent of San Francisco, died. During
the following October a lock Of the de-
ceased's hair, together with two rings,
were placed in a registered letter and
dispatched toward the East During
the mail robbery on the 22d Of that
month, the letter in question vas opened,
and one of the rings appropriated When
postal agent Barstow took possession Of
the debris in the mail car, he found the
lock Of hair, one ring and several pieces
Of the letter. After considerable trouble,
he managed to decipher the name Of the
party forwarding the letter, and that of
the party for whom it was intended. The
writer Of the letter, a lady, furnished
him with a minute description of the
missing ring, mentioning that its princi-
pal feature consisted Of a heart crossed
BY two clasped hands. This clue was
furnished TO the detectives, and through

Terrible Adventure with n Rattle.

Terrible Adventure with a Rattle.
snake ON ChiIhOwee Mountain.
From the Athens Post.
1t was stated in this paper last week
that a citizen of Polk county, named
Paul Parks, had been bitten by large
raotlesnake. 1t seems Mr.. Parks was
hunting cattle, and had ascended some
distance up the mountain, when he came
upon the snake so suddenly that he did
not see it until it was in the act of
striking and there was no chance to re-
treat or to avoid the blow. He was
struck in the leg with both fangs, few
inches above the ancle-joint. He made
an effort to kill his enemy, but the venom
circulated so rapidly that he became
sick and dizzy and turned away from
the place. After proceeding short
distance partial blindness and extreme
nausea and dizziness ensued, and
selecting as level a place as he could,
the poor fellow stretched himself
upon the ground, as he thought, to
die, helpless and alone, almost within
sight of his humble home. But reviving
a little in few minutes, he determined
to make another effort, and being unable
to stand erect and walk, he commenced
rolling himself down the mountain and
succeeded in reaching a spot near the
Z" big road where his cries and means
attracted the attention of a passing
neighbor, who went to his assistance. A
vehicle was procured and the unfortu-
nate man was conveyed to his home-but
before reaching there he had become
blind and speechless and his tongue was
protruding from his mouth At last ac-
counts Parks was still alive, and some
faint hopes we're entertained of his re-
covery. He told the neighbor who first
reached him that the snake was much
the largest he had ever seen, being, as
he expressed it, as big as my leg"

Every Tooth is worth a Diamond

Feats of strength performed with the
teeth are absurd; those who indulge in
them ought to be punished like that
youth who, says DR.. Lemartie, broke all
his front teeth, who bet he would throw
over his head chair, which he held with
his teeth by the upper part of the back
board to achieve that noble feat. An
other fellow, more imprudent, caused
himself to be hoisfed up from the ground
to a window by means of a rope, which
he held in his teeth. When he reached
a certain hight he lost his four incisors,
and broke one of his legs in the fall.
Some others, says the doctor, find plea
sure in grinding drinking-glasses between
their teeth, and wounding their mouths
grievously in the attempt. One would
suppose that the life Of these maniacs is
a perpetual challenge to the Almighty
who gave it 20 them. The loss Of tooth
is a real misfortune, since it cannot be
repaired A tooth is worth diamond,
says one of our authors. Remember
these few words and try to get them in
practice. Herald Of Health.

spirits of the robbery. But for the ring,
which he had devoted to the adornment
of his own clumsy hand, he might have
escaped unscathed. He has taken up
his abode at the Nevada State prison,
and the ring was returned to its owner
one day last month.
