He Lost the Wager.


A man from the interior who had
never seen a steam heating apparatus
such as is used in wholesale houses,
factories, etc, of this city, entered a
Jefferson avenue business establish
meEt yesterday for the purpose of
making n purchase. Seeing lot Of
statesmen standing around a "steam
box" and being naturally inquisi-
tive, he walked up to the group to
ascertain what caused them to gath
er around the pipes. One Of the
statesmen, noticing that the custom
er's curiosity was aroused, determin-
to have a little sport at his expense.
He accordingly made wager for
the cigars that not one in the whole
party could lift the ''box" four inches
from the floor, at the same time eye
ing his prospective victim in an invi.
ting manner. The boys comprehen-
ded the object of the wager at once
and stepped back to await the result
Gift that thing" he exclaimed, rails
ing his powerful arms to show how
much muscle he possessed, "do you
think that man who can raise a
wagon-box can't lift that air machine
four inches from the floor? Why,
can throw it on my shoulder and
never say boo" Turning to the
salesman who proposed the wager
he shook hands with him in token Of
accepting the bet and placed himsel1
i'll position. In the meantime one o.
the statesmen had turned on full
head Of steam, and the man graspeG
the heated tubes. That was all. He
emitted one frantic yell and started
for the man who had concocted the
plan. But he changed his mind, cas-
a rueful look at his smarting hand:
and then Joined in the general laugh
but it must be confessed that hi:
hilarity was little forced. He pait
the wager, however, and quilted the
establishment with profound sense
Of the philosophical depth Of tina
mans mind who first discovered tina
lit is never safe to bet on another
mans game"

ish Culture.
From Harper-s Magazine for February

From Harpers Magazine for February.
The subject of tish-culture contin-
ues to attract the public attention,
and especially in view of the success
Of the operations on the part of the
United States in the introduction of
salmon into its waters. The United
States establishment on the Sacra-
mento River, under the charge of
Mr.. Livingston Stone, has yielded this
season 100000 eggs, and the num-
Der collected at Bucksport, on the
Penobscot, by Mr.. Chas. G. Atkins,
is over 100000, or over 5000, 900 i'll
all. If half of these be hatched and
placed in the streams OF the country,
it will make a large addition to the
population of the waters, especially
when we bear in mind the fact that
these are planted after the yolk-bag
is absorbed, and when the fish is able
to feed and care for itself. Accord
ing to the estimates of reliable fish
culturists, in the case Of natural
spawning not more than one fish of
the age referred to is obtained from
1000 eggs; so that the number sup
posed to be derived from the labors
of the Fish Commission during the
year would be equivalent to the yield
from five thousand million eggs.
The California eggs were sent as
soon as sufficiently ripe to the fish
Matching stations throughout the
Middle and Eastern United States.-
Such Of them as were Matched sue
cessfully and reared are now being
distributed in appropriate waters.-
All the Northern and Eastern States
have shared in this distribution. as
well rs Texas, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, etc.
The eggs from the Bucksport estab-
lishmcnt are not sufficiently mature
for distribution.
An ample warrant for the introduc-
ton of fish into localities strange to
them is seen in the success of the at
tempts to supply Tasmania and New
Zealand with species of British trout
and perch, these having already be-
come more abundant than the native
fish, the perch being now captured
by the ton in their new abode, and Of
very large size.
Thus far there is no satisfactory
evidence of successful experiment
with the salmon sent to New Zea-
land, and the effort is to be renewed
during the coming winter by sending
the eggs from Great Britain.

Hair

Hair is not less useful than orna-
mental. 1t is bad conductor of
heat, and keeps the head warm in
winter and cold in summer. 1t wards
off the effects Of the sun; and we find
negroes exposing themselves without
head covering to its burning rays in
tropical climates without the slightest
injury, and some tribes Of wild Arabs,
who wear neither tarboosh nor tur-
ban, are said to rely solely on their
bushy heads of hair as protection
against sunstroke. 1t may not be
generally known that the state Of the
hair depends much on that of the
general health. In perfect health the
hair is full, glossy and rich in its
hues, in consequence Of the absorp-
from the blood of nutrative juice

The man who haz got but one
thing to rekomend him, like the tune
NV the tin whissel, soon gets to be

Words won't annihilate emmy thing;
it takes ideas to do this kind oy
work.
Wealth and fame are the two mos,
unstable things, yet men persew them
the most untiring.
Face the musk, young man, wheth-
er YOU like the tune or not.
Evry one luvs tn be prazed, but
praise makes wize man caushus,
and a phool kareless.
The time and mummy spentin learn

He who gifts bit twice bi the same
dog is not unlucky, but phoolish.
Mankind are jealous ov evrything;
if they could make a decent-sized hill
they would at once be Jealous of a

You kant surprise CRATE man with

1t is rare privilege to hav it in

All the CRATE successes have been

"How is this, Amy:" calmly inter
rogated the doctor. "Do you mean
never to see him again?"
eyes, yes, yes! And you must
help me! I'm beneath your roof and
crave your protection"
"Why, my child, you are cold, and
shivering as from some great fright.
Never fcar-I will guard you," and
the mild man laid his hand on her
head, and tenderly sought to assuage
her troubled heart. "Be honest,
straightforward; though the whole
world rise against you Pm near, with
a stout heart and resolute will
Write note of dismissal to your
lover, which l will hand to him my
self.''
TO watch Dick Peters as he read
the note would be sufficient to assure
one Of its bitter though brief contents.
Mrs. Stanton made several attempts
to have the engagement renewed,
but, however subtle she deemed her
own Vaccinations, sic was more
than outwitted by her firm opponents,
the doctor and Amy's lover.
Amy soon after became the fond
wife of Chandler Moreton, who final
ly arose to fair position in the
world. Money and position were at
her command, and with a husbands
atfe ;tions it seemed that her chalice
of life was brimmlng over. Why
therefore, was she not a vain, cold
hearted idol, like SO many bellies who
have their reign in the tide of admir-
alton and favor? The secret of hei
youth had ennobled and ripened hel
into an almost faultless woman, still
she was the admiration Of all who
knew her.
