The next thing was to get them all to the

haven't nothing more to do with them. p"
So at last, Jem having made them give
him their words that they wouldn't run
away-and little use it would have been,
for they were all we'll known to him-he
and his two mates were obliged to hoist
the tubs up on their shoulders and carry
them to the station themselves. The tubs
held about six gallons apiece and were no
light weight to carry seven miles on
binding hot summers afternoon.

A French Critic ON American Living.

The defects have pointed out in your
hotel management suggest their own cure.
And to the careful consideration of your
people I would submit the following OBJ
servations: In the first place, your break
fast is mistake. Usually, Immediately
after you rise from your beds, you par
take Of heavy meal of steaks or chops,
garnished with potatoes, followed by
three or four eggs, and surmounted by
hot rolls and buckwheat cakes. The d.
gestive organs even of healthy person
are not now in condition to receive such
a meal; not till two or three hours after
one has awakened do they recover from
the apathy which sleep produces.
In France, Germany, Italy, in civilized
countries in the East, throughout the West
Indies, among the English, Spanish and
French Creoles, this law Of our nature Is
recognized and respected. You may be
less prejudiced against my suggestions if
I furnish you with illustrations from a
colony of Anglo-Saxon origin instead of
French. Let me submit the mode of liv-
ing among the white inhabitants of Barba-
does, which is similar to that in most Of
the Antilles.
On rising, cup of coffee and biscuit
(the equivalent to the cafe au last and roll
Of the French and 1talian), then a bath /;
then the males of the family proceed to
their places of business, usually about
seven a. m, and at this hour profession
ais, merchants and bankers may be found
at their offices; at about ten a. m. large
portion of their duties for the day are per-
formed. The letters are read and an
swered. So much responsibility is re-
moved from their minds that they are now
in fit condition to digest a substantial
meal. They now return to their homes
for breakfast, when they partake of fish
and chops, accompanied with the inevita-
bic rice, and followed by fruit, the whole
washed down with claret or bitter ale, and
cup of coffee or tea after the meal. The
next and last meal of the day is dinner
This is usually taken between five and
seven. And if possible this meal should
be taken after the days work is over. You
will eventually become a nation of dys-
pcptics if your men of business will per-
sist in dining in the midst of their hours
of business, and refuse themselves suffi-
cient time to masticate and digest what
they eat.-Galary for August.

Feminine Drivers.

There were two of them, both young
ladies, and yesterday they procured an
animal which through courtesy we will
call horse, which was attached to low,
rafting, but substantial open phaeton.
They having been assured that the horse
was as safe and as little liable to be frolic-
some or shy as the one which had his eyes
picked out lone by One," they started for
pleasure drive down Fifth street south.
One of the young ladies handled the rib
bons with grace that would have done
credit to an elephant at German" now
clucking like a setting hen with one
chicken, and alternating quick, short jerks
on the bit with that peculiar slapping of
the horses back with the lines which no
one but an amateur female driver can
ever hope to attain to. The other young
lady grasped the cushion firmly with one
hand and the side of the seat with the
other, gathered ready for spring at a
moments notice, and encouraged the fair
driver with running account of all sorts
of runaways both real and imaginary, d.
recting how the reins ought to he handled
and intimating how much better she could
drive. Everything went smoothly till a
cow was observed lying beside the road
about two blocks off, demurely chewing
her cud. The result was a detour of four
or five blocks to avoid the bloodthirsty
bovine, the fair occupants of the phaeton
congratulating themselves and each other
upon their presence of mind in avoid
ing the impending danger. A stray stone
in the road was safely passed, only two of
the four wheels running over it; but, hor-
ror of horrors! the railroad track was only
one block ahead, and both of them could
hear a train coming plain as day, there
could be no mistake about that. One OF
them concluded the safest way would be
for her to get out and walk tothe crossing,
and from that point she would signal the
other if there was no danger. The driver
kept her seat about half block further,
and then she, too, got out and drove the
horse, she walking beside the vehicle, fol
if anything should happen it would be Sc
much safer. A strange gentleman hap
pening along the street, and the fair driver
assuming as bewitching smile as hel
terror at the ordeal would allow, asked
him if he wouldn't please lead the horse
over the track and she would walk. O1
spread all over his face as he gallantly
took the animal by the bit. While help
ing the ladies into the carriage on the 9TH
er side of the crossing, he naively re.
marked: II guess they'll get the street
cars running over this Seventh street track
to. morrow" And those two young ladies
now stick to it that they knew it was the
horse car track all the time, and that they
only got out to rest Afraid? The ideal

A SMUGGLER'S STORY.

One November evening last year found
me, an elderly London lawyer, standing
at the end of one of the two long piers
which form the entrance to an important
packet port on the south coast. While l
was peering intently into the darkness a
man came up and stood beside me and
looked out to sea. At the same instant
one of those sudden squalls which are so
common at that time of year came racing
past us, and the binding rain beat upon
our faces.
You had better come into our watch
house for bit, sir, y said my friend; Its
close by. I'm Custom House officer"
And walking rapidly on he brought me to
neat-looking small house, built just
where the pier began to branch off from
the harbor into the sea. Opening the door
he showed me into a good-sized room
lighted with gas, and with a capital fire
blazing in the CRATE. On benches around
the fire were three or four men in uniform
like my friend, and in bed-berth hard

This admirable specific not only renders di-

The Penalty Of Riches.

One Of the prominent legal luminaries
Of this city has for client a wealthy old
lady, now verging on to four score years
In age. She is reported to possess about q
million, we'll invested in real estate and
dividend paying bonds. She has but few
relatives and these few poster her beyond
all reason. Two of them are her own
children, already rich from the proceeds
of their fathers bounty when he died
twenty years ago. There are four grand
children, and half-dozen nieces and
nephews. Between all these a constant
struggle has been going on, for several
years, to secure the favor of the old lady,
and obtain remembrance in her will. The
consequence is that they keep her in con.
slant hot water, and several times she has
petulantly Informed those nearest to her
that she will disinherit the entire lot. The
lawyer before mentioned has drawn for
the old lady no less than thirteen wills in
ten years. In the beginning she devised
certain requests, and then changed them
by codicils. The additions, however, be-
came so conflicting that she was advised
to make new will. Since then every new
whim or desire as to the disposition of her
property demands new will, and she re-
fuses to believe in codicils at all. Once,
five years ago, she arranged the deeds of
certain property and the stocks and bonds
in separate envelopes, and marked them
on the outside, with her own hands, for
those whom she designed to benefit. Re-
peatedly she has been advised to divide
her property while she lives, but she
steadily refuses, and says: {" No, if do,
I shall regret it and be unhappy" Her
latest will is now in the Safe Deposit Com.
pany's vaults, and devises the bulk of her
property to certain benevolent institutions.
Our legal friend predicts, however, that
he will be sent for within three months to
draw another will, unless in the interim
the aged will-maker should happen to die.
Thus the riches of the world trouble their
possessors, and the old lady is worrying
herself to the grave disposing of her prop
erty.-N. Y. Cor. Chicago Tribune.
