PEDRO IS THE WORD.-Mr. Ben De Bar
when with intimate friends is as jolly as
he looks when in rollicking role. One of
his greatest pleasures, after business, is to
sit with half a dozen friends and play a
noisy game of pedro. His eyes glisten
with genuine delight when he captures
pedro or a jack, and when an opponent is
set back his face il a mixture OF fun and
commi .eration He finds the game very
interesting indeed. Last night, when
playing in Pocahontas, he called John
Smith Don Pedro, which departure from
the rule gave him a hearty round of ap-

The Protection Of Children.

At last the man has appeared who has
humanitarianism enough to take active
measures for the rescue of little children
from the perils to which they are barbar-
ously subjected In The tight-rope and ira
peZe performances at the variety -theaters
all over the country. That man is Bergh,
of whom the cheap stock joke has been
that his humanity extended only to brues.
Last Saturday, at the Tivoli Theater, New
York, just as the /" infant prodigy, Leo, ~
IA child six years of age-was about to
be sent upon the stage to- go through his
thrilling" performance on the tight
rope, MIR. Bergh appeared on the scene
with couple of policemen, and the re-
puted faiher-who pockets the profits of
the child's engagements-wasl locked up,
while the latter was removed from the
theater, and, doubtless, will be placed in
charge of a guardian by the court. The
best feature of the whole affair, perhaps,
was that the audience attracted there 10
witness the thrilling performance-ihe
thrilling part of which consisted in the
chances of the child's falling and meeting
q horrible death-instead of kissing, APP
plauded MIR. Bergh. The like barbarous
exhibitions are given in nearly every city
in the United States, and it is to be
trusted, now that Mr.. Bergh has taken the
initiative, those will be found everywhere
who in like manner will interfere to put a
stop to them. There should be in every
State statute severely furnishing both the
parents and the managers who thus spec
ulate on the wanton imperiling of the
lives of children. But even without such
statutes the courts everywhere, in exer-
else of their general power as guardians of
minors, will, on application, interfere and
remove these children from the custody of
such unnatural protectors, and place them
in control of guardians answerable to the
court for their care of the little Ones

Civilization in India.

The natives of India" remarks the
Pail Mall Gazette, "show remarkable
proficiency in acquiring the habits of civ
ilization, and in the art of adulteration
appear TO be making such rapid progress
that they will soon put even the British
trader to the blush. An ingenious prac-
tice is, it is stated, now common among
the cloth-sellers of Jubbulpore. Bales of
English piece goods are carried to the
Oomtee rivulet and washed, with the OBJ
ject of thickening thetexture of the cloth,
and thus getting much higher price than
that current for them as they arrive from
Manchester. The pieces are one by one
opened out at the rivers brink and washed
in the running water. This takes off the
English sizing; they are next rerolled and
well beaten with wooden clubs, dipped
and beaten again and again, and so on for
hours the threads then begin to swell and
thicken the cloth, so that the weaving ap-
pears close and tough. They are then re-
opened and partly dried, dipped into a
tub of wellboiled rice water (such as is
used by dhobles for starching) and care
fully hung out TO dry. When dried each
piece is carefully refolded, pressed and
placed in the shop for sale. The change
the cloths undergo by this process is rep
resented as astonishing A coarse, long
cloth, worth say. four annas a yard, is
transformed to close-textured fabric
riyaling one of Horrocks' best. The
cloths so improved are chiefly sent out to
villages and out-statiOns, where they are
readily sold as Manchester goods of the
stoutest and best quality"

Romance in Real Life.

A STORY has just come to light that reads
like sensation novel. Mr.. John Rodman,
a mechanic, was a sufferer by the great
fire of 1866, and moved with his family to
Harlem, N. Y, where he had a brother
residing widower with small property.
Soon after going to Harlem Mr.. Rodman
got chance TO go to Valparaiso. He
went, leaving his wife. son and daughter
with his brother. AT first he sent money
home, and then his letters ceased Then
the brother died and his little property
was eaten up by lawyers in the settlement
Mrs Rodman with her young son and
daughter returned to Portland and became
a seamstress. The latter part of 1878 an
English Captain took the son, a boy of
fifteen, to sea with him. The vessel was
wrecked in the gulf, and all were sup
posed to be lost. The mother was taken
sick, but a physician of this city took
charge of her and afterward rendered her
much aid. A short time ago Mrs. Rod
man saw an advertisement in New York
paper that if the wife of John Rodman
formerly of Portland, would apply to a
certain New York firm she would hear of
something 10 her advantage. Her doctor
advised her to GO to New York, and she
went there with her daughter, interviewed
the law firm, discovered her husb band had
failed 10 hear from her before she failed to
hear from him; that he had been with
Myers, the great American railroad spec
ulator, and ''made his pile," and wanted
his family, if possible, to join him in New
Orleans, for which place he was about to
sail. The firm had been compelled to adj
vertise, as the family when they left Har-
lem left no traces and no friends. The
mother and daughter left for New Orleans.
They arrived day or two before the YES
sci by which Mr.. Rodman was expected.
While out walking the daughter was in
suited by young dandy, who thought the
two women were unprotected. A young
sailor lad knocked the dandy into the
gutter, and as he turned disclosed the
features of the long-lost son. 1t seems
when his vessel was wrecked he was
picked up by Norwegian vessel and
carried to port In that country. From
thence he went to Calcutta, thence to
Southampton, and arrived in New Orleans
the day before. A few days afterward the
father arrived and the ongseparated
family were reunited and happy.-Portldnd

The Mikndo Of Japan.

THE term mikado, used to designate the
Emperor of Japan, is of doubtful ety.
mology. The word does not occur in the
most ancient Japanese books, but is the
one, out OF many name given to the EN-
peror, which has obtained the greatest
currency. The derivation of mikado
usually accepted by the japanese is from
mi, honorable, august, and kado, a gate,
equivalent to the Turkish title Sublime
Porte. Tenno is the official designation
now used for the Emperor, and all JAP
anese Ministers and Consuls are accred-
tied as representatives of His Imperial
Majesty, the Tenno of Japan" The first
Mikado, Jimmu Tenno, who Is usuallyre-
garded as an historical character, began
to reign about $50 B.. c., since which time
131 Emperors have occupied the throne
The reigning Mikado QS75) is Mutsuhi-
to, second son of the Emperor Homes
Tenno and the Empress Fujiwara Asako.
He was born in 1850, succeeded his fa-
ther Feb. 8, 1868, and married Haruko
daughter Of Ichijo Tadaka, noble of the
second degree of the first rank, born in
June, 1850. Abandoning the habits of
seclusion practiced by his ancestors, the
Mikado appears in public, and gives aud
fence to the members of the diplomatic
corps in Japan, to his own officers, and
TO the foreigners employed in the Govern
ment service. He dresses, eats, rides and
acts like European sovereign.-Apple-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Steamed Apples.-Pare and halve
good sour apples, remove the cores and
place them in steamer over a kettle OF
boiling water; when tender serve with
sugar and cream, and imagine they are
peaches.
In packing away summer clothing it
is advisable to lay bits of charcoal here
and there among the folds, as this will
prevent the unpleasant odor which is
often perceived in clothing from which
the air has been excluded.
Italian Beefstcak.-Score steak
transversely with a sharp knife, cutting it
ihrough lay it i'll a stew-pan with Il small
piece of butter; season it with pepper and
salt and an onion chopped fine. Let il
cook three-quarters of an hour in its own
gravy, and serve hot.
The following is recipe for making
hard soap, which is said to he excellent
and economical. Nearly every family
accumulates through the winter drippings
from beef and mutton. These can be
utilized for the grease by boiling in water
allowing it TO cool, then removing from
the water and boiling till all the water is
expelled. Take six pounds of sal soda,
six pounds of grease, three and a half
pounds new stone lime, four gallons soft
water, half pound of borax: Put soda,
lime anu water lnlO all IRON DOH
till all is dissolved. When well settled
pour off the clear lye, wash out the kettle
and put in the clear I've, grease and borax ;
boil till it comes to soap, pour into tub
to cool, and when sufficiently hard cut in
to bars and put on boards to dry.
The sprouts of the potato when ana
lyzed are found to contain a vegetable al
kaloid called by chemists solansnc,
which is very poisonous. Solanine is OBJ
tanned from various species of the solanum
genus of plants comprehending the pota-
to, tomato, nightshade, etc. This aka
loid does not exist in the tubers unless
they are exposed to the light and air. If
potatoes remain for any length of time
after having been dug in too bright a
light, or if the earth is accidentally removed
from them in cultivation, they are changed
by the chemical action of light and be-
come green in color, which is owing to the
presence of solanine. Potatoes of black
ish green tint are good for seed, and it
is claimed by some that the poison they
contain is sure preventive of decay but
they should never be cooked for the table
If they are boiled in large quantity of
water and the water carefully drained off,
they may be fed to stock.-Cor. american

Early History OF Some Of the Herze-
gOvinian Rebels.

In the reports on the instruction in the
Herzegovina il has sometimes been mem
toned that after the invaders from Monte
negro, Dalmatia and Croatia the UskolIs
furnished the strongest contingent to the
insurgent forces The word "Uskol"
signifies fugitive or outlaw, and during
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
was a term of the greatest reproach among
all sea-farers. especially the Venetians.
The Uskoks came originally from Bosnia
and the Herzegovina they fed before the
invading Turks, and at first took refuge in
the fortress of elisa, in Dalmatia, at that
time considered impreonable. From here
they made raids into the Turkish territory,
till, in 1881, the Turks conquered elisa
and destroyed it. The l sKokS then
passed over into Austria, part of them 60
ing to the district of Sichelburg, en- the
frontiers of Carniola and Croatia, and
part To Zengg, on the Croatiun coast,
where they were protected, on the land
side by vast forests and steep mountains,
and ON the coast by the stormy Gulf Of
Quarncrolia. The plundering raids of the
Uskoks often extended into the interior of
the Balkan peninsula; for instance, in
1913 Trebinje was destroyed. And as
their wealth and power increased the drcgs
of all other countries Joined them; thus
among the Uskoks bcheaded at Venice,
Zengg and its suburbs the women lived,
and such luxury reigned here that they
constantly drove the men to undertake
fresh piracies to supply their extravagant
demands. The utter EQUALIZATION of men
and women increased with every genera
ton. Their unfortunate enemies were not
safe even after death; their bodies were
mutilatcd, leather made from their skins,
and the Uskoks drank their blood and ate
their hearts. Often, too, these savages
would dip their bread, before eating it, in
the life blood of wounded foe, for Il
superstition reigns among the Illyrians
that all who partal<e of such bread at the
same time will be friends forever. What
is related of the women is still more horri-
BILE; for when Rabatta, the Austrian COM
nlander in the Fort of Zcngg, was muir
dered by the inhabitants of the town, his
hcadlcss corpse was placed upright in the
church, and the women, worse than dogs,
licked the blood from his wounds. After
the Friulian war, however, Austria WAS
compelled by the treaty of Madrid to take
measures against the pirates; their ships
were destroyed and they themselves made
to emigrate to the district OF Sichelburg,
between Laibach and Karlstadt.-C0r.

One May day, between ninety and one
hundred years ago, John, tenth Earl of
Westmoreland, was dining with Mr.
Child, at that time of Temple Bar
/" Child, y said His Lordship, "giye me
your opinionin thiscsse Suppose yon were
In love with a girl, and had no hope of
getting her fathers consent to your mar
rying her, what would you dor To
which The unsuspecting banker replied
Dot Why run away with her, to be
sure"
A night or two afterward Lord West
moreland eloped with Miss Sarah Anne
Child In post-chaise and four. It is a
pity for the sake Of dramatic propriety, II
no other, that this elopement was not from
the banking house in which Lord West
moreland had put the home question,
with mental reservation as to its mean
ing The post-chaisc took Miss Sarah
Anne aboard somewhere near Berkeley
Square House. An alarm was given by
the wafchman, who found the hall-door
open. Mr.. Child at once posted in pur-
suit on the north road and managed to
gain on the runaways.
n was not, however until Northumber-
land was reached and entered that the
second post-chaise came within sight OF
the first; and then Lord Westmoreland,
standing up in his carriage, shot one OF
the leading horses of Mr.. Child's vehicle,
which was capsized in consequence. This
bold proceeding gave the lovers time to
cross the border and get married by the
Gretna Green blacksmith. During the
short interval between this match and the
death Of Mr. Robert Child he never for
gave Lord and Lady Westmoreland.
