Dom PedrO's Jewish Descent.

The Jewish Chronicle accounts for the
interest Dom Pedro takes in Jewish af-
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
10 leave the religion of their fathers, and
were known as new christians They
became numerous, and married extern
sively with families of noble birth. A
certain king Of Portugal, says the Chron-
icle, becoming alarmed at the power
welded by individuals of Jewish descent,
issued decree that every person with
Jewish blood in his or her veins should
appear at court, distinguished by white
badge, the king, hoping by this edict to
banish all such persons from his court
~ he believed no one would be willing u
acknowledge his Jewish blood. On the
day named he was surprised to see more
than three-fourths of his court wearing
the white badge, and he was astounded
when the prime minister entered, him
self wearing, in conspicuous manner
the same emblem. He asked him furi
Ously what his business was. His answer

A Guest at a Hotel Wants TO Have an

Detroit Free Press.


A night or two since a chap about
thirty-fve years old, looking as il he had
crawled out of a cave to commence life
anew, entered one of the hotels, and
waiting at the counter until the clerk
was at liberty, he asked "Is this a
hotel?"
Yes, sir" was the reply.
Good living, good beds, and the most
courteous attention ?"
"Yes, sir"

several specimens in the tanks. One OF

all the shades of the rainbow, but also
that they are capable of recognizing their

actually manifest attachment for these

vOraciOus Tigers.

The Lewiston journal prints the fol
lowing extract from private letter from
Rev. NJ. Eveleth, native of that state,
now serving rs a missionary in Toungoo,
Burmah: "Whcn we arrived at the
village of None the people there were
looking for the governor of the Shway-
gyeen district TO see what could be done
to rid them of fierce tiger His haunt
was near the path leading from this village
to a Karen mountain little to the east.
This monster had killed and eaten nine
persons, and now no one dared to go that
way. lie was great fellow, about
seventeen feet from tip to tip, very bold,
and afraid of no body of men. He cap
tured whoever came near him, whether
Karam, Shan or Burman. IL there were
several in the party, he always sprang
upon the last one. He was 50 heavy
and sprang from 30 great distance that
he killed every one the moment he struck
him. The last party that he attacked
contained seven men. The last one car
ried spear, and said that he was not
afraid of the tiger, but before he reached
the top of the hill tbe tiger had captured
him, breaking his spear and killing him
instantly. a little while after we left this
village man came up behind our train
riding luriously. He was an Englishman,
and wore dagger and revolver in
his belt, and was rather formidable
looking man. He was chief of police in
Shwaygyeen, and, glad 10 see a white
face, cantered on with him for a mile
or two. He had in his pocket the claws
of tiger who had recently killed five
Karens. This, too, was an old tiger, but
with very little hair left on him, and
was very large He came TO him in this
wise. Two Karens were ascending the
mountain together each carried spear
the one pointing backward, the other for
ward. The tiger leaped from behind,
and came upon one of the spears. lie
was mortally wounded and very soon
died. There was one very sad story CON
nectcd with the death OF these persons.
A father and his little girl we've going

her away. The father, crazed with the
sight, pursued the beast, and caught
hold of the child's legsand tried To free
her from his jaws. The tiger let 90 his
hold, and the father placed the dead
child on his shoulders and started of on
the run. The tiger came up again, and

jungle. The village was aroused by the

Washington Cor. Of the st. Louis Times
VIM. Pitt Fessenden, in the zenith Of
his power and fame, was sold for ten
thousand dollars, through a most ingen-
ious scheme and by most daring operator
Senator Morton was quietly conveyed
and made over for five thousand dollars
Mr.. Chas Foster, of Ohio, was knocked
down by a shrewd auctioneer to an inno-
cent purchaser for one thousand dollars.
sam Cox was retailed at the same price.
And on another occasion, the most ludic-
rous OF all, sharp hummer sold the in.
vincible Holman for five hundred dollars.
Holman is celebrated a. the universal
objector. He objects TO everything and
particularly to all private bills. Three
years ago man was here with a claim
for additional compensation or relief for
carrying mails. The bill had gone
through the committee and was in fact a
fair, square bill, and the man deserved
relief. But bloodsucker happened to
get wind Of it just before it was reported
to the house. He hied TO the room OF
the claimant, who was all unversed in
the wicked ways of Washington. The
bloodsucker told him that there was q
member from Indiana who had deter.
mined TO object. II was near the Close
OF the session and an objection would
carry the bill over. The claimant wanted
his money. The bloodsucker assured him
that nobody but himself could control
the member from Indiana And that i,
would take money to control him a,
that The claimant was ignorant and
the bloodsucker adroit. Consequently
five per cent. of the claim, amounting to
nearly one thousand four hundred dol.
lars, was paid to the bloodsucker u
control Holman" Probably Holman
never would have noticed the claim at
all. And it afterward transpired that
the congressman who had it in charge. a
Missouriap, had explained it all to him,
and he had agreed TO let it go through.
But the bloodsucker did not know this.
80 he employed con 'cderate-a woman
= and just as this bill was reached on the
calendar, the woman called Holman ,ut
by card and detained him with some i'm.
aglnativc gossip for fifteen or twenty
minutes, and by that time the thing wa.
done. Holman had been successfully
sold. And Holman knew no more abou,
1t than he did what was going on at the
town OF Seattle in Washington Territory

The Pcrlls Of Stage Balconies and
Boats.

Do YOU zee that lovely little balcony
jutting out from that second-story win
dow Of the scenery? Of course you do,
for as you look the prima donna steps
gracefully forth and warbles song to the
stars. You envy her picturesque sur
roundings, and imagine that she stepped
through the easement out of dainty
boud0ir. Not bit of it, With trem-
bling limbs she scales a shaky ladder,
trcading on her dress at every step, and
mentally blessing the carpenter. Her
maid holds her train, and the stage
manager and one of the chorus guide her
uncertain footsteps. Everything is dark
and gloomy before her eyes. In a mo.
ment she steps out upon the balcony and
faces the applauding audience with an
angelic smile upon her countenance,
while she wonders If the props are per-
fectly secure, and whether the whole
thing will come 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 run into the dressing room to
get out of the way of the drafts. An
other thing the audience dote on is a
chorus song without accompaniment
sort of impromptu, you know. But
they should zee the preparations made
for the impromptu. The boat is about
leaving the wharf, and the sailors stand
around to sing parting song. The
leader, who is generally an excitable
German, gets them together, and .he
audience wait in pleasant expectation.
He counts one, two, three, and gives the
pitch "Mein Gott tone below p'
and he rushes away with his fingers in
his ears while the men sing on as Justify
rs though they were on the track, and
the audience says, "How sweet p' In
The Star of the North" when Cate.
rina goes TO the wars, she gets on board
boat and sails away. 1t looks beautiful
from the front, where everything seems

on rollers, and is pulled along by a couple
of stalwart scene shiiters standing in the
wing. Sometimes the rollers want creas.

presence Of mind steps upon the stage,
and wriggles out with as little of the

accident. One night, Mr. Lawrence
Barrett and Miss Marie Gordon were

twenty feet above Ithc stage, and while
they were up there, something cracked
and the whole thing swayed u and fro
like ship at sea. The props had not
been made firm, and, had the actors not
luckily gotten down in time, they would

claim the honor of acclimating the
ginseng. II the plants Of last season
yield as they now promise, ! think the
growing ginseng will be as cavity accom-
plished as a growing crop OF potatoes.
The only difficulty ! now see is this-it
requires two seasons for the plant in its
wild state to become large enough for

has arrived at a state in which it is con-
sidercd more salable in market. What

the plant. Possibly some gentleman
who has an analysis Of ginseng at hand
could aid me or make some suggestion as
to the proper manure. The present
price Of ginseng has caused the gathering
Of larger amount than usual the past
season. Although the state has passed
very stringent laws TO protect the plants
growing in the mountains, it is but n
question Of few years when ginseng

why Not nrrca Carriage Horses for =
II Is astonishing to us why some of our
breeders do not breed the old-time coach
OF carriage horse that we used 10 sec FIVE
and-twenty years ago. We can recollect
when il was little or no trouble to pick
up lot of splendid geldings which could
be mated and matched within a fort
night. This is almost an impossibility
now. You very rarely sec u fine-step-
ping matched team of coach or carriage
horses. Why is this great change? Be-
cause the desire to breed fast trotters
from all sorts and conditions of horses
has nearly made extinct the old, beau
tiful, housekeeping horses. Stations
and mares Of this kind are rarely seen
now. We want the old-style coach horse
Of high repute, possessing substance well
placed, deep and well-proportioned body,
strong and clean bone under the knee,
open, sound and tough fee., with fine
knee action, lifting his feet high, ranging
in height from 15l to 16l hands, Ken

Worms In Fiewer-Poss.
Many ladies are puzzled how to get
rid Of the detestablc worms that will in
fest the earth in their fower-pots. The
following recipe, which we find in an ex-
change, Is recommended to destroy the
pest: "Put an ounce of ammonia into
gallon of warm water, and water the
plants with it once week; they will be
free from these worms, and be beautiful
and green. To kill the little bugs that
get on the oleander, take piece of lime
the size of hens eggs, and dissolve it in
about two quarts of water, and wash the
stalk and branches of the tree they will
disappear"
