A Guest at a Hotel Wants TO Have an
Understanding.

4 night or two since a chap about
thirty-Gve years old, looking AS if he had
crawlcd out Of Il cave to commence life
anew, entered one Of the hotels, and
waiting at the counter until the clerk
was at liberty, he asked "ls this a
hotel?
"Ies, sir" was the reply.
"Good living, good beds, and the most
courteous attention ?"
"Yes, sir"
"WcII," said the stranger, after Il long
look at n railroad timetable, 81 suppose
you don't trust
Ono, sir"
Wouldn't let n man stay here four
or five days until something turned up?"
ono, sir"
"1hat's what | wanted to know. |
always like to have an understanding
about such things, for if anything makes
me mad it is to have Il great big hotel
clerk jump in on me and kick me down
stairs on account Of my Straitened linan-
Ces."
" You'd better find some other place."
suggested the clerk.
"Oh! | SHALL" replied the stranger.
"Thc outside Of this hotel seemed to
smile a welcome at me; but, as ! said be-
fore, my present policy is to get along
without being kicked. Ive got mental
feelings as well as anybody else, and Pm

Dom Pcdro's Jewish Descent.

The Jewish Chronicle accounts for the
| interest Dom Pedro takes in Jewish aE.
fairs by the fact that he is Of Jewish de-
scent, During the prosecutions Of the
Jews in the Spanish peninsula in the
middle ages, many Jews left or pretended
to leave the religion Of their fathers, and
were known AZ new christians" They
became numerous, and married extern
siveIy with families Of noble birth. A
certain king of Portugal, says the Chron-
icle, becoming alarmed ut the power
welded by individuals of Jewish descent,
issued n decree that every person with
Jewish blood in his or her veins should
appear at court, distinguished by a white
badge, the king, hoping by this edict to
Danish all such persons from his court,
rs he believed no n would be willing to
acknowledge his Jewish blood. On the
day named he was surprised to see more
than thrce-iourths Of his court wearing
the white badge, and he was astOundcd
when the prime minister entered, him
self wearing, in Il conspicuous manner,
the same emblem. He asked him furi-
Ously what his business was. His answer
was: ~ have come to carry out your
majcsiy's orders. Here are two white
badges Cat the same time producing
them) one is for her royal majesty, your
august Spouse And for whom is the
other ?" Numbered the king. The re.
ply was For your royal majesty !"

NOraciOus Tigers.

The Lewiston Journal prints the fol-
lowing extract from Il private letter from
Rev. VI. EycIrth, a native of that state,
now serving AS n missionary in Toungoo,
l}urmah "Whcn We arrived at the
village of None the people there were
looking for the governor of the Shway-
gyccn district to see what could be done
to rid them of Il fierce tiger. His haunt
was near thcpath leading from this village
to IL Karen mountain Il little to the east.
This monster had killed and eaten nine
persons, and now no II dared to 90 that

seventeen feet from tip to tip, very bold,
and afraid of no body of men. He cap.

several in the party, he always sprang
upon the last Onc. lie was so heavy
aud sprang from 50 great Il distance that
he killed every one the moment he struck
him. The last party that he attacked
contained seven men. The last one car-
riod Il spear, and said that he was not
afraid of the tiger, but before he reached
the top Of the hill The tiger had captured
him, breaking his spear and killing him
instantly. A little while after we left this
village II mar came up behind our train

of a tiger who had recently killed five
KarcnS. This, too, was IN old tiger, but
with very little hair left on him, and
was very large. He came to him in this
wise. Two Karcns were ascending the
mountain together each carried a spear,
the one pointing backward, the other for
ward. The tiger leaped from behind,
and came upon one OF the spears. He
was mortally wounded and very soon
died. There was one very sad story con.
nected with the death OF these persons.
A father and his little girl were going
home from their bazaaring. when the IL

her away. The father, crazed with the

Spontaneous Generation.

There is ut present a deadlock among
men OF science in regard to spontaneous
generation, although in 1870 Prof. lIuX-
ley said that those who did not believe
in that doctrine were victorious along
the whole line" DR.. Bastian's rccordof
his experiments a few years ago was ac-
ccptcd as final by many enthusiastic poo
pie, some Of whom believed that it added
great strength to the theory of evolution
by showing the untcnablcncsS of the
dogma that all life came from ~prc-exist-
ing life. 1t seemed to prove that life was,
under some conditions, evolved from
dead matter, and this would at Once
overthrow the pauspermatists. Enthu-
slasm vas checked when Prof. Tyndall
and Prof, Huxley, with the old pausper-
matiSt Pastcur, and some other we'll
known scientific men, asserted their con-
viction and endeavorcd to prove that DR..
Bastian's experiments had been bung-
ling, and he was wrong in his conclu-
siOns. They hpd every reason to believe
that living germs could not resist the &C.
ton Of boiling water, but arc obliged
to admit that here il wa not DIR. Bastian
but themselves who were mistaken.
Some Of them have therefore abandoned
their belief in the killing power of boil
ing water. but have not forsakcn the
doctrine that all life comes from antcce-
dent life. Bastian has indeed proved
that germs may live after undergoing n
temperature Of two hundred and thirty
degrees Fahrenheit for an hour, so that
the pauspermatists are reduced to great
extrcmitics to maintain their position.
The question involved isone of the high
est scientific and philosophical impor
lance, but, as already said, in regard to
it there is a deadlock among scientific
men of the first order, like Tyndall and
Pastcur on the one side, and Bastian and
backed by many theoretical cvo-
lutiOnists, on the other.

The rcrils Of Stage Balconies and
Boats.

DO you see that lovely little balcony
juttlug ont from that second story win
dow Of the scenery? OF course you do,
for rs YOU look the prima donna steps
gracefully forth and Marbles u song to the
stars. You envy her picturesque sur
roundings, and imagine that she stepped
through the easement out OF Il dainty
houdoir. Not Il bit OF it. With trcm-
b ng limbs she scales Il 1haky ladder,
lrcading on her dress at every step, and
mentally blessing the carpenter. Her
maid holds her train, and the stage
manager aud one Of the chorus guide her
uncertain footsteps. Everything is dark
and gloomy before her eyes. In II mo.
mcnt she steps out upon the balcony and
faces the applauding audience with an
angelic smile upon her COuntcnnncc,
while she wonders if the props are per
| frclly secure, and whether the whole
thing will conn down and cripple her
for life. Then sings her song, and steps
out upon the little platform and backs
down into the arms of her mother, who
wraps . shawl around her shoulder, while
the maid again takes up the train and
the three rum into the dressing-room to
get out Of the way OF the drafts. An
other thing the audience dotc on is a
chorus song without accompaniment
sort Of impromptu, you know. But
they should see the preparations made
for the impromptu. The boat is about
leaving the wharf, and the sailors stand
around to sing a parting song. The
