LOckiaM.

4 young man named Samuel Eicholtz
died at his logings in Washington from
lockiaw. A short time ago he ran
rusty nail into one of his feet, the
wound giving him much pain for sew
eral days. The pain ceased, and he
thought he had quite recovered. He
walked out into the garden adjoining
his lodgings, gathered some flowers,
and carried them to his house. While
on his way back he suddenly felt the
cords of the back of his neck commence
drawing his head backward, and he be-
came aware that his Jaws, were becom-
ing set. He remarked in a laughing
way, but too true, that he was getting
the lockjaw. His relatives made light
of the remark, and supper was an
nounced shortly after; but when Mr..
Eicholtz tried to drink some tea from
saucer he found he could not get the
saucer between his teeth, and even
then it was only thought he was suffer
ing from the effects OF a cold. How
ever, they at length came to the sad
conclusion as to the nature of his dis
ease, as his jaws were set to open no
more.
The nearest physician was sent for,
but the case was hopeless one, as
spasms had already set in, and they
continued more frequent and severe,
until they were incessant, when death
stepped in and relieved the poor man
from the most horrible sufferings. not
excepting hydrophobia, on earth. De-
ceased was only 30 years of age, and
had been married but few weeks.

Rubber Overshoes for Horses.

Rubber overshoes for horses are a
recent invention, which promises to be
boon TO the equine inhabitants of
paved cities. The shoes are made and
lined in precisely similar manner to the
article of apparel worn by the human
race, and, in fact, presents no points,
of difference save in it's shape and its
manufacture of the best quality of India
rubber. 1t is designed as substitute
for the iron shoe, and rs means Of
preventing the many maladies TO which
horses feet are subject. Horses suffer
ing with cracked or contracted hoofs
and similar painful hurts, it is said, aIe
quickly cured by the substitution of
the rubber covering for the unyielding
metal shoe. The elasticity of the
former allows the hoof to remain in its
natural shape, while protected from
abrasion against pavements by the
heavy rubber sole beneath. The de-
vice is easily removed from, or put on
the hoof, and hence while standing in
the stall or turned out to pasture, the
horse may be left barefooted. In win
ter time, the covering serves as pro-
lection against illness, due to the conf
mon practice of minglihg salt with the
ice and snow in city streets, while the
roughened surface of the rubber be-
meath serves to give the animal foot
hold in slippery weather. AS compared
with iron shoes, the cost of the rubber
ones is about one-third more, aud their
weight is some 10 per cent. less, while
they are very durable. Sixteen sizes
are manufactured, so that accurate fits
may DE obtained.

The French Shrug.

An emissary of the Indianapolis
Herald writes from France of the
French shrug "Now, a Frenchman
can, under some circumstances, convey
to closer certainty the idea he wishes
to express, by simply struggling his
shoulders, than could possibly be done
through the medium of words and
Americans, seeing this, and feeling the
force of the practice, attempt to imi-
tate it. This is about the way the av-
erage American shrugs it > If he is
asked simple question, which could
be answered by plain yes or mo,
he finds it an opportune moment to
make an exhibition OF himself, and be-
gins by drawing up his shoulders rs
if he wished to rub his cars with his
collar-bone, throws his head and neck
forward-not unlike crane looking az
ter log-stretches his arms out from
his body at about an angle of forty five
degrees, in position apparently to
pronounce benediction, elevates his
eyebrows upward, and presents to the
observer the appearance of man in
the last agonies of swallowing a fish
bone, and, with all this exertion, about
the only impression he creates is that
he is an ass, or that the fool-killer has
outrageously sighted his work.

A Special DispeusatiOn.

When sleeping-car by leaping from
a bridge, rolling down an embankment,
or other frisky behavior, forfeits public
confidence, it ceases to be sleeping-car,
and usually ceases to be anything at
all. But when such a coach, after de-
liberately lulling dozen or more pas
sengers to sleep, takes fire with the in
tention of cremating the slumbering oc-
cupants, something more should be said
about it. Such an occurrence took place
last week on the Georgia railroad, near
Stone Mountain. The passengers in
the sleeper were rudely reused by the
discovery that their goods and chattels,
including certain articles of raiment
which society as well as the weather
made indispensable, were in flames, and
that successful exit from the furnace in
which they were travelling was about as
much as they could hope for. Among
those who were rescued from the flames
was Judge King, President of the road.
1t seemed like a special dispensation of
Providence to place him in the midst of
this blazing fiery furnace. He had a
satchel with him containing bonds and
money valued at $4,000, and these
were consumed. Unfortunately the old
gentleman lost his senses as well as his
money, and was carried out more dead
than alive. The car was total wreck,
and the property of the passengers all
destroyed. III by some clever provi-
dence railroad Presidents, Superintend-
ents, and other officials could more fire.
quently be involved in the perils and
dangers of the road, there can be nc
question that the statistics of railroad
accidents would show great diminu-
ton in a short time.

The Legend of Gambrinus.

The popular legend OF Gambrinus. as
related by John Fiske in the Atlantic
Monthly, is as follows
Gambrinus was fiddler, who, being
Tilted by his sweetheart, went into the
woods to hang himself. As he was sit
ting on limb, with the cord around his
neck, preparatory to taking the final
plunge, suddenly tall man in q green
coat appeared before him and offered
his services. He might become as
wealthy as he liked, and makehis sweet
heart burst with vexation at her folly:
but in thirty years he must give up his
soul to Beelzebub. The bargain was
struck, for Gambrinus thought thirty
years long time to enjoy ones self in.
and perhaps the devil might get him in
any event-as well be hung for q sheen
ais q lamb. Aided by Satan, he invent
ed Ginning bells and lager beer-for
both of which achievements he is held
in grateful remembrance by Teutons.
No sooner had the holy Roman Emperor
quaffed the new beverage, than he made
Gambrinus Duke of Brabant and Court
of Flanders and then it was the fiddler's
turn to laugh at the discontinue of his
old sweetheart. Gambrinus lived clear
of woman, says the legend, and so Lived
in peace. For thirty yeais he sat be-
meath his belfry with the chimes, medi-
tatively drinking beer, with his mobiles
and burghers around him. Then Beel-
zebub sent Jocko, one of his imps, With
orders to bring back Gambrinus before
midnight. But Jocko was, like Swiv-
eIler's Marchioness, ignorant of the
taste of beer, never having drunk of it
even sip, and the Flemish schoppen
were too much for him. He fell into
drunken sleep and did not wake up
until next day, at which he was so NOR
titled that he had not the face to go
back to hell at all. So Gambrinus lived
on TRANQUILITY for century or two, and
drank so much beer that he turned into
beer barrel.

An Editors Misfortune.

A few days ago journalist came to
Detroit on business, and in some way
was induced to leave the straight and
narrow path and take more liquor than
he could carry. He fell among bad
people and was robbed of his all, and
was found in an alley next morning by
policeman. AS he was reused up he
looked around him, got his bearings,
and started off.
"Here, where are You going 2"
shouted the officer.
Home" shouted the editor, as he
halted.
But you haven't a cent in your
pocket. You'd better 60 round to some
of your friends and raise something"
" Friends be hanged" replied the
editor. Its only sixty miles, good
going, and three days before my paper
comes out"
And he started off at q pace which
made the dust Jump up in little clouds
and float over the fences. -DetroH Free

Cheap TRANSPORTATION.

The cheap transportation question is
likely to receive new impetus from a
new invention that has lately been
brought out for propelling canal boats
oy steam power. The strong points OF
the invention are said to be cheapness
and simplicity of operation, and the
small space required for the machinery.
IT consists essentially of boiler and a
pair of small engines placed in the bow
of the boat, with an over. hanging shaft
carrying a small pinion ut the end that
engages q rack laid along the banks of
the canal. The shaft is fitted with a
universal joint to work at any angle.
When the boat enters lock or encoun-
ters another boat between it and the
bank, 1t is necessary to lift up the
pinicn of the rack to avoid the obstruc-
ton. We are not informed what speed
is attained by this continuance, but it
must, Of course, be much greater than
that attained by horsepower. Should
this invention prove az valuable in prac-
teal operation as it seems To be in
theory, it will bring us one step nearer
the solution of the vexed question of
cheap transportation. Chicago Cour-

Modest Ways.

Nothing becomes young girl so well
as modest ways. 1t is so notifying to
mothers to know that their daughters
act rudely when away from home.
They wonder at 1t. They are usually
good enough and ladylike at home /; but
the moment they nre out of their sight,
on the street or on the way to church,
and perhaps in church, even, loud
laughing and talking become the rule.
Does it ever occur to those mothers to
give their girls a gentle warning on
leaving the parental roof, as to their
manners and ways?
Says one 81 do not like to be al
ways scolding. talk to my daughters
once in a while, and 1 expect that to
suffice" But, mother, if you had a
choice plant, young tree that You
wished to bring to perfection, would
you expect it to become perfect with
only an occasional trimming? No
You would be apt to watch it with great
care, trimming it a little every week
or every day, to see that no unruly
branches put forth to mar its beauty.
SO it is with youth little by little is
the character formed that is to govern
the after life.
7 do not believe in a rough-and-ready
scolding. Scolding, as rule, has not
much force. If one has to give stern
rebuke, let it be in as few words as pos
sible. Yet L think, if parents take
second thought, that mild reproof in
most cases would answer best. Young
people just coming to maturity have
naturally free and impulsive ways.
One can excuse rudeness in boys, for it
seems natural prerogative of their
nature, but wild, romping or bold girl
is continual source of anxiety to a
mother and generally distasteful to So
ciety hence, mothers cannot be too
careful of the manners of their daugh-
ters

A Hundred Miles ON a Velocipede.

A Mr.. Stanton, of Hornsy, England,
tried recently to ride 100 miles in eight
hours and a half on a bicycle. He
started at o'clock in the morning, on
cInder path under the most favorable
conditions, but rode himself to stand
still after doing ninety-six miles in eight
hours, ten minutes and fifty-three
seconds. The bicyclist went off at
great pace, making his twenty miles in
one hour, fourteen minutes and fifty
seconds. Including a stoppage OF
eighteen minutes and fifty seconds, he
rode fifty miles in three hours, forty
nine minutes and two seconds-unde-
niably good time, and which, il kept
up, would have enabled him to win the
match. He had two more rests after
wards, but at eighty miles he was get
ting slow and Enthusiastically weaker.
After going ninety miles the pace be-
came wretched, and finishing the ninety
sixth mile he appeared dead-settled and
hardly able to keep his machine going
at all to keep straight course was
quite beyond him.

An UntimeIy Interruption.

The boys tell a good one on jim
Barndollar, of the Usage Agency. 1t
seems he had sent his washing to full
blood Usage squaw who was to have it
done and bring it home on Saturday
night. The squaw failed to fulfill the
contract, however, and on Sunday Jim
had to 60 to church with the same suit
he wore during the week. In the mean
time he had sent word to his washer
woman to "bring them shirts" He
had just got comfortably seated in the
church, and the grave minister had
opened up in thunder tones on sinners
generally, when in stepped big Usage
Indian with package under his blanket,
who began making all kinds of unintel-
ligible signs to our friend. Jim APP
peared to take no notice of his presence,
however, until by his audible whispers
and frantic gesticulations the Indian
had attracted the attention of the entire
congregation, and fairly Mortified our
hero by drawing forth shirt with a
stunningly clean front, several pairs of
socks, and other things that go to COM
plete fashionable young mans ward
robe. This was too much for him, and
he Immediately arose and reckoning the
persistent laundry clerk out, he then
and there exhausted both the English
and Usage vocabulary of epithets, after
which he took charge of the clothes, and
told the dusky warrior to go his way.

good use of all the emphatic religious
adjectives that came within his grasp.

The Outrigger

The Pail Mall Gazette Gays
"The Castalia, and vessels of her
class, point in their mechanical struc-
ture to a remarkable fact well known to
Oriental navigators. 1t may be true
that it is incorrect to term the Castalia
q twin vessel. 1t has been urged that
she is rather one large ship, partially
divided in such way that while her
lateral motion in rough sea shall be
slight, yet her progress forward shall
not be seriously inpeded. Yet, when
we look at the mechanical principle on
which she is constructed, we find
that not Caly is she to all intents and
purposes double ship, but also that in
her build she is but the exemplifcation
on large scale of that one outrigger
system which is so universally adopted
between Ceylon ana the Pacific Islands
and which has, strange to say, never
been elsewhere largely adopted. Here
we come to a veritable historical puzzle.
From Ceylon to the west, and the
islands of the Pacific, closest to the
American shore line, to the east, we
meet everywhere with small sailing
craft carrying the one-outrigger. No
where else in the whole seagirt world
is this the case, and nowhere, as far as
history tells us, has it ever been. These
crafts not only sail very rapidly, but in
accordance with certain principles yet
unascertained, we believe, are wonder
fully steady in the toughest sea. Along
the coast of Northern India, as we'll as
along that of Java and Sumatra, the
outrigger itself is frequently fitted with
small sails, but this is not the case near
Ceylon. Cross over from Ceylon west
ward-only a few miles-to the coast of
Southern India, and not glimpse is to
be obtained of the ingenious one-out-
rigger system"

How TO Pull TEETH.-A peculiar
dental operation has just come under
our observation. A certain citizen had
an upper tooth which was loose and
troublesome, so he resolved to extract
it by fastening string to it but after
trial, finding Incorporation painful, he
hadn't the grit to grin and bear it. He
thought if the tooth could be extracted
by some sudden mode, the pain would
be bat transient; and after mature de-
liberation he hit upon an ingenious
plan to jerk it out in jifiy. Procuring
a heavy fatiron he tied il to the other
end of the cord attached to his tooth,
then shutting both eyes he let
the iron drop, which descended
plump center on his pet corn.
After hopping about the room, wildly,
on one foot, grooming for very anguish
of spirit, and reciting choice passages
from profane history, he finally Gained
down sufficiently to hurl the fiatiron
over the fence, and swsthe his sore toe
in camphor and cotton. But he pulled
the tooth, and with it piece Of gum.
And the man lived.

ARE OYSTERS TO BE DESTROYED "A
gentleman who has much experience in
catching oysters, and who for years has
been familiar with every oyster ground
in the Chesapeake Bay, in conversation
on the subject of the extinction of the
oyster few days ago, said that new
world must be discovered to feed with
oysters before the supply in the Chesa-
peake and tributaries would be sensibly
diminished.
