SLANDERING SARAH.

Outside papers must quit publishing
fictitious items about Detroit, or some
one will get hurt Yesterday woman
with a black be and pair Of spectacles
entered the editorial rooms Of this paper,
holding a Chicago daily in her hand, and
she walked up to a stoop-shoudered
consumptive toiler, who had dropped in
to see a New York exchange, and grimly
asked
i" Who's Sarah ?"
He replied that he had never heard Of
her, when she unfolded the paper and
pointed to the following;
"There is an old woman in Detroit
named Sarah, who has worn one pair
Of stocking, right along for sixteen
weeks"
ITS a lie - said the old lady, and
you've got to take it back or-or--

She finished by sliding her hand along
his shoulder until her fingers got hold Of
his neck tie.
81 hain't nothing to do with that" he
gurgled a, he tried to pull away that's
a Chicago paper"

pressing against his Adams APPLE
with her thumb. 81 can prove that |

"I don't think it means you," he said,
getting his left eve on the item.
" Yes it does" she foamed. "Ain't
my name Sarah. and mint oldsh, and
amt | a woman ? Oh ! such lies makes
my blood bile"
Wei, you want to 60 for some one in
Chicago. 1t has nothing to do with this
paper"
"Hain't ah ! know better. You are
all linked together, and ] presume you
read that yesterday and lated and LATED,
ard thought Sarah was an old fool"

" But Sarah is no tool" she resumed,
too eriug above him. g You just mark
this, you long geared grave stone, you ::
If there's another item in the papers
about Sarah, you'll never know what
broke YOUR neck"
And she laid her fist on the table,
flouri.hed it under his nose, and went out

ed as wishing to continue their subscrip-

NAPOLEON AND THE STONE CUTTER.
Napoleon, when in the height of his
power, being once at Amiens, whilst ira
versing the square, in the midst Of the
acclamntions Of the inhabitants who sur
rounded him, cast his eyes upon the null
titude, and perceived in one of the corners
Of the square, IA stone-cutter who had not
been induced to quit his work by the
curiosity which animated the crowd by
whom he was surrounded. The indiflcr-
ence Of this man excited the curiosity Of
Napoleon. He wished to know something
about him and, passing through the
crowd, urged on his horse until he arrived
close to him. What are you doing
there ?" said Napoleon. The workman
raised his eyes and recognized the Emper-
or. " | am cutting stone" You have
served under me-" quickly observed the
Emperor; who recognized an old soldier.
"It is true, sire" You were present at
the campaign Of Egypt-you were Il brig
adler in such corps ~ Yes, sire. "
Why have you quilted the service ~
Because / had completed my time, and
obtained my discharge" 81 am sorry
/ for it, you were brave mani shall be
happy to do for you anything in my
power say what you require from me p
"That your Majesty will leave me to cut
my stone in quiet my work suhices me
/ am in want Of nothing" This fact
brings to mind the interview of Diogenes
with Alexander but the modest pride
Of the Greek philosopher was not equal
to the renly Of the stone-cutter.

THE LAPPs.-Of the 1000 iuhabi
itants of Lapland, only about 1900 or
10000 are Lapps (in their own language,
SABINE or Sant), who form subdivision
of the Finnic race. They were originally
inhabitants of Finland, but were gradu-
ally pushed by the Firms further north
and west to their present territory. Ac-
cording as they are fisherman or reindeer
herdsmen, they are distinguished as "sea
Lapps " and mountain Lapps," and
either occupy settled habtations or lead
anomadic life. They are extremely small
in stature, and their hair is black and
straight, presenting a great contrast to
the tall and blonde Norwegiaus and
Swedes. Their skin is yellow, the fore
head broad, the head poised upon short
and rounded reck, the nose well formed,
the cheek bones protruding, the chin
pointed, the cheeks hollow, and the lips
straight and thin. They are agile, but
quickly exhausted by labor, rather from
bodily weakness than laziness. They
dress in furs, with trowsers and shoes OF
reindeer skin. They protect the head by
means Of sort Of cowl, but the Russian
Lapps generally wear fur caps with cal
covers. The dwellings Of the mountain
Lapps are small tents, consisting Of {
skeleton Of bent sticks, covered with {
coarse cloth. In the middle is hol'
which serves as lue for the fireplace
underneath. The sea Lapps have better
habitations, generally consisting o. wood
en- huts with several apartments. They
live exclusively on animal food bread
which they obtain Of Russian tradesmen
is considered delicacy. Polygamy
though not prohibited by custom, is very
rare, on account Of the high price whcl
has TO be paid for women. The daughter
of rich man costs sometimes as much
az 100 reindeer, while poor girl is seldom
sold for less than twenty. The price is
considered us a repayment Of the ex-
pen es incurred in bringing up a daughter
and also as "A remuneration to the father
for losing her services. The Lapps have
been converted to Christianity, and be
long to the Lutheran church in Norway
and Sweden, and to the Greek church il
Russia.

RCsTIC IDEAS OF THEATRICAL Pro
PLE.-Two little stories illustrating the
ludicrous horror iu which the rustic mind
holds "the profession" have been exciting
so much mirlh Of late in the coulisses
that | take the liberty Of putting them
before you. Last Summer Boston
swell sought in vain for some time at
Cohasset, Mass, for the residence OF
Charles K. Thorne, Jr., and Stuart Rob
son, whom he mad been invited to visit.
None Of the old inhabitants knew about
them. At last he lounged into a grocery
Of a primitive pattern, perched on the
rocks. Can you tell me where Charles
Thorne lives ?' he inquired. Dunno,
said the Cohasset man. "Or Mr.. Rob
son ~ Robson ? Is he theator actor?'
" lie is" "Oh, yes. Robson-ThornC
hem, actors (pointing with his thumb
over his shoulder there's aohote ran
of them actors living together down
there !" This is matched by story told
by Clara Morris. Once when She was
travelling in company through Ohio,
they We're obliged to leave for the next
town Oh their route at an early hour.
Tired and sleepy, they bundled into the
stage which was TO convey them to the
station. just before they started, in
jumped highly respectable old party
and proceeded to make himself aud hi,

stuck his head through the window, and
said "Say, mister, do you belong to
this troupe?" My Lord, no| ejacu-

SUNSHINE Seclusion from sunshine
is one Of the mislortunes OF our civilized

vines white and sickly, when in dark
cellars, operates to produce the pale sickly
girls that are reared in our parlors.
Expose either to the direct rays Of the
sun, and they begin TO show color, health
