but three of them, in percentage, requiring

This circumstance seemed TO distress the

where her error was, and she continued 10

daughter that she had better 20 to bed lest

Training for a Corpse.

A carpenter in this city recent
ly raised to the dignity of "proph-
let, in the Improved Order of Red
Men, came near burning up his
shop a night or two since. A
TREND and brother was lying very
i'll - at the point Of death, as was
thought. In case Of his death Ger
tain ceremonies were to be per-
formed over the body while lying
in the ''wigwam" by the prophet.
Now our prophet had never un.
dertaken the performance of these
ceremonies, and he was not sure
that he would be able to acquit
himself creditably when he came
to undertake them with the whole
lodge looking solemnIy on. He
thought that he should like a lit.
tie previous practice. With this
In his mind he persuaded his part
ner, also Red Man. to join him
in rehearsal and take the part of
the corpse. The partner saw no
harm in such a rehearsal land real.
ly thought it would be a good
thing for his friend, the prophet.
Accordingly broad board was
placed on two trestles, and the
partner who was to be the corpse
stretched upon it at full length,
closed bis eyes, aud told the proph.
ct to proceed with the funeral
ceremony. The prophet, in full
war-paint, and with a cows tail
stuck behind his ear, then began
praDcing around the remains. -
With some prompting from the
corpse, he got through his mum
meries in very fair shape. He
then caught up torch made of
fat splinters, and began a solemn
dance around the decorous al d
appreciative corpse. While in
the midst of the dance and dolo-
rous chant, he suddenly discovered
that in waving his torch he had
left trail of fire behind him in
the shavings covering the floor,
which completely encircled the Sc.
date remains. The corpse took in
the situation at the same moment
as did the prophet, and the two
wound up the rehearsal in a lively
little fight TO save their premises.
Both had their hands and clothes
badly scorched, and the partner
swears that il is the "last time he
vii! ever train as a corpse"

One Moment.

In a popular downtown res
taurant there was a waiter who
had an unpleasant habit of say
ing "One Moment" Otherwise
he was a good-natured, affa-
BILE man, who did his work well,
but he was unable to break him
self Of his one failing. If,
while he was wiping a knife or
a spoon, a customer asked him
for the salt, he would say Gone
moment" finish the knife, and
then hand the salt.
If he was polishing glasses,
and a gentleman who had a cup
of coffee beside him asked for
the sugar, the waiter would not
Set the glass down, serve the
guest, and then resume his la
Dor, but "One moment" and
the sugar afterward. If the
customer failed to see it III that
light and repeated his request,
the waiter would give his nap
kin deprecatory flourish and
impart to his reply slight ac-
cent Of reproach, "O-One mo-
ment. sir"
/. Last week the waiter went
over to Jersey to visit some
friends, and after a day of in
nocent hilarity he returned 10
the railroad station from which
he was to embark for home
While waiting for the train he
strolled out on the track and
stood looking down the long
perspective of the road. He
did not observe an express train
that was booming down from
an opposite direction, but he
heard the warning voice of a
man on the platform shouting:
sect off the track! Get off
the trackw
zone moment, sir" was the
involuntary reply, and he tar
ried for an instant to straighten
kink in his watch-chair; but
the express train was in hur-
ry, and in one moment he had
gone where moments are DIS
years.

something to himself, when the
Squire would request him to

he get through making his re-
quests than Isaac would begin
his mumbling. Finally the
Squire got on his dignity, and
put the following to Isaac, as a
settler: ''Now, Isaac, | have re-
quested you to keep quiet sew
eral times, and if you open
your head again I will fine you
$5 for contempt Of court and
send you to Jail for drunken
ness" This put Isaac out of
time, and he arose from his seat.

retorted in the following ener-
getic way: Squire, If they
would stall-feed you for forty

EOLIAN MUSIC.
BIZ W. T. DALE.

Watt, wait abroad ye winds tho sound,
The plaintive notes echoing round,
That make our burdened hearts rebound
With mingled Joy and sorrow sweet;
Hail, hail ye signing winds that sweep,
Athwart the dreary path we keep,
And wailfor those who calmly sleep
Your softest music now repeat.
Soft, soft let sweetest music SWELL
With murmuring sounds that charm so well,
Release the heart and break the SPELL
And still the risings of the breast;
Speak, speak to burdened sons of grief,
To breaking hearts, o bring relief,
Who, like the fading, falling leaf,
Are seeking for place of rest.
III.
Come, come ye sighing winds and tell,
What-troubles in my bosom dwell,
And all my doubtful thoughts dispel,
And silence every rising fear;
Harki hark what are those plaintiyes tones?
They are the sighs which nature means,
In sympathy with sorrowing ones
Aeolian music strikes my ear.
Oft oft in tie busy scenes Of life,
Amid the cares of worldly strife,
With sorrow and with trouble rife,
Eve listened to your plaintive tones;
Far, far from home pensive sigh,
My home that lies beyond the sky,
And thither turn my longing eye
That home of all the sorrowing ones.
But there's song-a sweeter song,
A song which angels never sung,
A song which dwells upon the tongue
OF saints redeemed by blood divine;
Take up a Psalm-a lofty Psalm,
Of nature tired soothing balm,
And all your griefs and sorrows calm,
And sweetly rest at mercy's shrine.
Hush. hush ye signing sons of Garth,
And change your sorrow into mirth,
A day of bright and heavenly birth.
Shall dawn upon this dark abode;
Still still the troubles Of your breast,
And calm your griefs and fears to rest,
AND seek communion with the blest,
Who seek their fellowship with God.

NoTE.-This poem was suggested by the
reading of Hebrew word the meaning of
which is, ''Ihe murnaur Of the hagp;" i.
e., the murmuring sounds Of the harp. The
idea was taken up and applied to the music
of the winds. The poem has a remote al
fusion to the music Of the Aeolan Harp.

Dogs Lard.
A German Ladder-DIaker's Novel
Cure for Consumption.

u
Conrad Schweitzer, an old Ger,
man, who resides in Walton street,
in that part of Brooklyn known
as Dutch Town, possesses q cure
for consumption that is in some
respectsremarkable AS q Mercu.
ry reporter was looking around for
some one to direct him to Schweit-
zer's. residence, his eye fell on a
youngster who was evidently wise
hey ond his years. When asked
tif he knew Mr. Sweitzer, the boy
replied: 90 know him, maybe
mot! Maybe he didn't take my
dog and make 'hund fat or ham
fat, or whatever he calls it, out of
him T. Then looking at the scribe,
he asked "Did he take your dog,
Mister IF he did he's a gone
goose by this time"
The boy who evidently had q
deep grudge against Schweitzer,
said: He lives way down the 9Th
er side of Dutch Town. Follow
this street right up until you come
to Marcy avenue and any one will
tell you the place, for every one
knows it."
The reporter passing through a
narrow hall into the yard knock
ed at the door of a shanty that
looked like an overgrown doghouse.
Mr.. Sweitzer, who lives alone,
spoke to the reporter in German,
of which be was as ignorant as
Schweitzer was of English. The
reporter was abou: to leave when
a lady who lives in the front
house, and who was in the yard
at the time, offered her services as
an interpreter.
Through her aid the reporter
interviewed Scbweitzer. and learn
ed that while exaggerated stories
told of him by his neighbors were
for the most part unfounded, it is
true that be used his dog.made
lard as a medicine. If Mr.. s.
was a member of some society his
cure would have been known 20
the general public, but as he was
only a ladder maker it has re-
mained generally unknown. =
There are many people, however,
who believe in this remedy. =
Folks from all parts Of Long Is.
land come to him for this "hund
fat," as he calls it, the demand far
exceeding the supply.
The old gentleman's recipe con.
sists of lard made from the fat of
dogs in the same manner rs lard
is made from hog fat. When
made it has greenish-yellow col
or, and resembles in taste and ap.
pearance bad butter. Schweit.
Zer, to show that it was harmless,
ate about as much as would sicken
dozen ordinary men while the
reporter was present. Schweit.
zer's house is a market for all the
boys OF the neighborhood, who
pick up wandering dogs and dis.
pose of them to him for a small
consideration. He does not kill
them himself, but turns them O.
yer to the butcher who resides in
the next block. After cutting the
dogs throat, the animal is hung
up until the blood all drains from
the carcass. The butcher then
hands him over to Mr.. Schweit-
zer, who separates the fat from
the lean, using the fat for the pur-
pose described.
