a Puzzled Boarder.

1t was late in the fall when our
good Mrs Middlecrust went down to
the market and selected tub Of but
ter. She always bought good butter.
In fact, she was determined that
none of her boarders should ever
have just cause of complaint against
the quality of ter provisions
Madam" said the market maG,
81 would advise you to secure two
tubs of that butter / shall have
none better, and butter will be sure
to rise in price through the winter" +"
Mrs. Middlecrust bought two tubs,
and on her way home she bethought
herself how she could contrive to
make that butter last through 10
spring. Abl happy thought; she
would toast the bread for supper, and
butter it herself. Buttered toast was
the thing.
Accordingly the good woman set
out upon her plan of saving. For
tea the loaves were nicely and even
ly sliced, gently Drowned before the
fire, and very gently and carefully
buttered. As her boarders took their
seats, she fancied that one or two of
them were looking for the butter, so
she smilingly said:
II have buttered the bread my
self, gentlemen. AS it was toasted,
thought it would be nicer So"
Mr.. Nipkins, q bald headed bank
clerk, wearing spectaeles, took q slice
of the toasted bread, and examined
it long and critically.
"Mr. Nipkins, is anything the mat
ter with your bread?" asked the land
lady.
mo, no-nothing is the matter
with the bread.n And be turned it
over and submitted it to further ex-
animation.
"Mr. Nipkins." persisted the good
woman, growing red in the face, if
nothing is the matter, why do you
behave in that manner? | like my
boarders to- be frank with me-"
"My dear Mrs. Middlecrust," re-
piled Mr.. Nipkins, looking up Sc
renely, 'Iwill be frank. When | was
a boy, if We wished to express state
of extreme mental obtuseness, we
were wont to say of the obtuse one,
that he didn't know which side bis

tive faculties. find no fault with
your provisions, dear madam; the
fault must be in me. | have lived
and eaten two and fifty years, and

my bread is buttered"
Mrs. Middlecrust left her boarders
to butter their own bread after that

A Third street woman went out to

Three Days I'm q Sewer.

About noon Thursday a man was
discovered in the act of robbing
Jackson's saloon, near the Singer
works, at Elizabeth. He immediate
ly decamped when he found out that
he was watched, and ran down to-
ward Trumbull street, hotly pursued
by a policeman, who was closely be-
hind him, when he jumped into the
opening of the sewer at the corner
of the street. The officer procured q
lantern and followed him up the sew
er, which is four feet by six, but could
discover no trace of him, and return
ed. His story was hardly believed
at the time, bat its truth was satis-
factorily proved Sunday. hat day
a man was found in an insensible con-
dition on the shore of the sound, who,
when taken to the police station, told
the following tale:
He said his name was Michael Gel
gilman, and did not deny being the
man whc attempted to rob Jackson's
saloon and escaped by way of the
sewer, from which he had emerged
at s O'Clock that morning. He had
seen the policeman's lantern after GO
ing 800 yards, when, to escape cap
ture, he crawled up branch sewer,
where there is only just room to
crawl, until be got to manhole,
through which he attempted to climb.
The tide came in and nearly drowned
him while attempting to climb up,
and he utterly failed. On the third
day he mustered courage to go back
ward-the only way he eould-to the
point where he entered, risking the
chance of being overpowered by the
fetid air and drowning in the filthy
water, task that he finally accom-
plisbed. He is large man, FIVE feet
eleven inches in height, and is hardly
recognizable as the same man who
was seen on Thursday. His head is
one mass of cuts and bruises, his
finger nails torn off and fingers worn
almost to the bone in bis frantic eff
forts to escape through the man-bole.
He was sent to the Poor House, put
into warm bath. and afterward sup
piled with food, to which he had
been q stranger more than three days
and nights.-N Y. World.

ON Her Ear.

The other night an Austin man
who was reading story to his wife,
came to q piece of 'fne writing" IN
which the ear Of the heroine was
compared to "some creamy white,
pink-tinted shell of the ocean"
by the way dear" said the bus
band, cutting short bis reading, "1hat
description of the ear reminds me of
your ear; you have an ear Ike
she'll"
1t was the first compliment she bad
received from him since the early
days of their marriage, and blush
of pride suHused her face as she
asked:
What kind of a shell, dsrlingl"
"An abalone SHE'LL" be replied
She had never before heard Of or
seen an abalone shell, but she did
not want to display her ignorance; so
she made up her mind to hunt it up
in the Condensed Treatise of Con-
chology" that ornsmented the GENRE
table. Next morning the first thing
she did after her husband bad left the
house, was to hunt up the description
of an ebalone. She found it. 1t was
described as shell about the size OF
an ordinary wagon wheel. She nurs-
ed her wrath during that day, and
when her husband came home that
night she met him at the door with
the towel roller-and now his ear
is as big as an abslone shell, but it
looks like piece of pounded beef

Health Better Than Wealth.

Little Martin was poor boy who
bad no father nor mother. He earn
ed his bread by going on errands.-
One day on his way home, be sat
down to rest, and to eat bis piece of
dry bread, near the door of an inn.
As be sat there fine carriage drove
up, and the master Of the i'm came
out to serve tN o gentlemen who were
in it, 0ne of them was very yOnng
not much older than Martin-and
Martin thought to himself that be
should like to be in his place When
be looked at bis own crust of bread
and his worn clothes, and then ct
their fine things. be could not help
saying aloud:
"Ob, dear, I wish had that young
gentleman's grand coach. | wish |
could change places with him.
The other gentleman, who was the
boys tutor. heard this. and told it to
his pupil, who made signs to Martin
to come to him.
80, little boy" said he, "you
would like te change places with ME,
would you?"
81 beg pardon, sir" said Martin,
II did dot mean any harm by what l
said
II am not angry" said the young
gentleman; II only wish to know If
you are willing to change places with

"Oh, now you are joking, said
Martin; "no one would wish to

many miles each day, and have nsth-
ing to eat bat dry crust"

a Romantic Affair

There was great excitement at the
depot on Wednesday night, April IL
short time before the arrival of he
1890 train going south, caused by an
attempt by ruffian to recspture an
escaped kidnapped young woman.
The following are ,he particulars:
The young woman, aged about Is
years, arrived here on Wednesday
afternoon, on the train from Hazelton,
being oa her way TO Reading. She
was informed that she would be
obliged to wait until the midnight
train, and she sought a place to re-
main until the train arrived. As she
desired to be near the depot, she was
directed to the st. Charles Hotel,
where she went. A few minutes be-
fore the arrival of the train she star
ted to the depot, and when about half
way across the street the would.be
abducrOr suddenly came upon her,
whereupon she screamed murder,
murderl" which soon brought all
hands out Of the depot. The ruffiau,
who had evidently followed her Sc
cretly. seeing the danger OF himself
being captured, made speedy tracks
and was soon among the missing
The young lady's story Is that when
quite child she was stolen from her
home by band of gypsies and that
she bad made frequent attempts to es-
cape, but each time was recaptured,
the last time being threatened with
death did she make similar attempt,
but she did, and barely escaped re-
capture on Wednesday night. She
was properly taken care of by the
railroad employees, one of whom ac-
companied her as far as Harrisburg,
and there seen that she was placed
in safety on the train for her home 10 |

The young lady's story was corrob-
Grated in part by her dark complex

usually are. She said she
recognized IN the voice of ber assail- |
ant one of the gypsy band.-Sun-

Beautiful Hair.


i To get and retain beautiful hai
you must attend TO daily brushing
it, occasionally washing it, and peri
i odically trimming it, aud striving a
all times to keep the general healu
up to the average.
Now as to brushing. The skin o
the head, like that of every othel
part of the body, is constantly being
renewed internally. But it is not ST
easy too brush the balr properly, as
one might imagine. Few hair-dres
sers, indeed, know very much about
it. The proper time for the operation
then, is the morning, just after you
have come out of your bath, provi-
Ged you have not wet the hair. Tvo
kinds of brushes ought to be found
on every lady's toilet table, hard
and soft. The former is first to be
used, and used well, but not TO rough
ly; it removes all dust, and acts like
a tonic on the roots of the hair, stim-
ulating the whole capillary system to
healthy action Afterward use the
soft brush-this 10 give the gloss
from which the morning sunshine
will pleasantly CLINT and gleam with
glory that no Macassar oil in the
world could initiate. Whence comes
this gloss? you inquire. Why, from
the sebaceous glands at the roots of
the hair, natures own patient po-
made, which the soft brush does not
spread. Secondly, one word on wash
ing the hair This is necessary oc-
casionally to thoroughly cleanse
both head and hair. One or two
precautions must be taken, however.
Never use soap If you can avoid it;
if you do, let it be the very mildest
and unperfumed; avoid so called hair
cleansing fluids, and use rain water
filtered
The yolks of two new-laid eggs
are much to be preferred TO soap;
they make beautiful lather, and
when the washing is finished, and
the hair thoroughly rinsed in the
purest rain water, you will find when
dry that the gloss will not be destroy
ed, which an alkali never fails to do.
The first water must not be very hot,
only jus. warm, and the last perfect
" cold Dry with soft towel-but
do not rub till the skin is tender
aud afterward brush. Be very care
fol always to have your brushes and
combs perfectly clean and free from
grease, and place other brushes on
the table for friends of yours who
