Outwitting a CannibaI.

One of the wealthiest settlers in Cal
edonia is gentleman from Australia
we will call him Mr. Brown for short
who went there some ten or twelve
years ago with but a small capital, and
has become enormously rich by raising
cattle for the markets of Noumea. Mr..
Brown was on his way through the
bush from one of his cattle stations to
another, when he lost his way entirely;
wandering about till near nightfall, and
then came upon a large native village.
Here he was Hospitality entertained,
well fed, and most deferentially treated
by the great Chief whose village it was
the Chief Atai, think, whom some
persons regard as the chief mover and
leader of this years revolt against the
French. Atai was all courtesy to his
white guest and when night had fully
come conducted him himself in state to
the hut set apart for his nights repose.
Fortunately Mr. Brown was ac-
quainted with the customs of the coun-
try, and, among them, knew the conf
mon method of putting an end to trav-
elers pl eparatory to feasting upon them.
1t is as follows: The traveller is kindly
feceived; nothing occurs to shake his
confidence in his host; he is allotted a
cabin to himself to sleep in. The ma
tive huts have usually but one opening,
which serves as door and window
both. When the traveller is supposed to
be well settled in his cabin, this one en-
trance is set on fire. Being matched and
made altogether of light wood, it burns
very rapidly, and the traveller is cooked
as well as killed. Then the feast begins
Being acquainted with these details
of New Caledonian life Mr.. Brown knew
the cabin to which the venerable Alta
SO courteously led him might probably
become for him both a tomb and
cooking-stove unless his wits could
save him. He entered the cabin of the
Chief, meeting courtesy with courtesy,
till they were both fairly within, Then
Brown, in the prime of life and athle-
tic, Atai old and infirm, the English
man knew he was more than a match
for the savage. He closed the door
within the hut, planted his back firmly
againstit, and sitting thus with his hand
on his revolver and his other weapons
ostentatiously displayed continued his
conversation with the Chief. The sit
uation remained unchanged through
out the night. A terrible night it was,
no doubt, for the Englishman, and al
most as bad for the old Chief, who
again and again requested permission
to Withdraw, Mr. Brown as frequently
declaring that he could not part with

What a Canary Can Do.

SWINGING in a gilded cage in the
cosy parlor of Mrs. G. w. Carpenter, in
Newark, is brown and yellow canary
bird. 1t looks like an ordinary bird,
behaves like an ordinary bird; but listen
TO it for second and you will hear
tune, occasionally varied by genuine
bird warnings.
"Dick is about four years DID," Mrs.
Carpenter said yesterday, land when
he feels like it will sing the German
waltz, few notes of which you lust
heard, through correctly. He has a
mate down stairs that sings nearly as
well as does Dick; but he is moulting
now, and don't sing. Dick has also
been moulting and isn't in good cOndi-
ton. When he is, he will sing that
waltz by the hour; but whenever he
makes mistake he will break into q
merry canary MARBLE and then begin
again. l wish he would sing now.
Perhaps we can get him to.
Thereupon Mrs. Carpenter PLAYED
the waltz upon an organ, using stop
that gave a tone much like birds.
She played the waltz through, and as
she ceased the bird began and sang the
waltz nearly through; but it made
false note, and then warbled sweetly.
The organ sounded again, and then the
bird sang again. This time Dick sang
the waltz correctly, and at the end of his
song gave himself great airs, evidently
proud of his skill.
GLOW did we teach him?' said Mr..
Carpenter, in answer to the question of
the reporter. &c Mrs. Carpenter took
Dick when he was just off the nest, and
put him into dark room, where he
saw no light and heard no sound. Then
daily she played the waltz to him two
or three times day, for fifteen or
twenty minutes every time. At the
end of month or two the bird began
to sound note of the waltz, then an
other Soon it combined them, and aft
er a time he whistled an entire strain.
1t was nearly a year, however, before
his education was complete. 1t re-
quires considerable patience to teach
bird. These birds are cross between
linnet and a canary, and are a heartier
bird than thoroughbred canary. |
| would not like to part with either of
my birds. When the Kellogg opera
troupe were here Miss Kellogg was de-
lighted with Dicks performances. She
said if she owned him she wouldn't
take 81, 900 for him. ~. Y. San.

Young Man From the Country.

On Sunday afternoon bob-tail car
of the "City'' Line, going Mission
ward, was crowded. The seats were
all taken, and many were standing;
still, every now and then the car would
stop to take on additional passengers.
A pretty and fashionably-attired young
lady boarded the conveyance, but she
looked just a little disappointed on dis
covering that she could get no further
than few feet from the rear door, and
would be compelled to stand. Grasp
ing a hand-strap she threw a wistful
glance around her One of the Occu-
pants of the seats was young man
from the interior, and he surrendered
his seat to the last arrival. Smilingly
she accepted his offer, and the gentle
man took up his station near the front
door. An instant after she had settled
herself in her seat and shaken out the
folds of her elegant dress, she took a
half dime from her purse and passed it
to the young man that he might drop
it into the fare-boX. He, however, was
not versed in the practices of metrOpol-
itan street railroads, his own fare hay
ing been paid by a city friend who was
with him. Thinking the money was
offered him as the price of his seat he
quietly put it into his pocket, unob-
served by the lady, but to the great
amusement of those OF the passengers
who witnessed the transfer. Conscious
that fare was lacking, the lynX-eyed
driver, after ringing the boX-bell sew
eral times to no effect, opened the door
and demanded the missing ticket or a
half-dime. A malicious urehin, on mis-
chief intent, spoke out and accused the
unconscious cOuntryman of stealing
the money given him by ladies to put
into the box. This so eXasperated the
now bewildered youth that he at once
knocked down the impairment speaker.
The boys mother, nervous dame of
fifty years, swOoned away; timid citi-
zen by her side blew police whistle;
the driver stopped the car. A scene of
wild confusion and tumult ensued until
the arrival of an officer, who was about
to take the rustic into custody, when
the young lady who had been the indi-
rect cause of all the trouble made an
explanation, the countryman made an
apology, the saucy lad recovered, the
nervous mother was conveyed to an adj
iacent drug store, the timid gentleman
alighted, the officer disappeared, and
the Car resumed its way as though moth
ing had happened.-Sa91 Francisco

THANKSGIVING.


MANY and bright are the scenes that are planne'
Many the hearts that with gladness expand,
Many the hopes with fruition at hand,
And the voice of the turkey is heard in the land
For Thanksgiving day
Is welcomed away.
A heart-warming, glorious, genial season,
When the feelings, repressed
By traffic. behest,
On one day at least, for dominion contest,
And strive, as of old, to be specially blest,
While care is species of treason.
The city shuts up its shop for the day,
The oldest youngest play or pray;
The churches are open in the ancient way,
For preachers to utter whatever they may,
With few to listen to what they say
While all the chaises and carriages
Are dashing around with their merry loads
OF babies dressed in their prettiest modes,
To dump at the doors of kindred abodes-
Or filled with those still happier nodes
Who rush to try that best of codes
Which binds us up in marriages.
The horse in the stall the dog at the door,
Are loved and caressed and kissed once more
And smiles are joyously beaming
And the pullets, destined for them to die
Look on the scene with cheerful eye,
In sympathetic seeming.
The land is vocal with psalm and prayer,
And joys glad note sounds everywhere,
A festival oblation,
And savory streams like clouds arise.
To tickle the palate and glad the eyes
OF lovers of virtue and pumpkin pies,
Where grave and gay and dull and wise,
Pay tribute to gustatlon.

An Undesirable Roommate.

SCOTT, the greatest of English novel
lists, made use of superstition in his
works, but he had not particle of it
in his nature. Basil Hall says that
Scott told him, on the last evening of
the year 1924, when they We're talking
over this subject, that, having once
arrived at country inn, he was told
there was no bed for him.
"NO place to lie down at all?n said
he. "No," said the people of the
house; "none except room in which
there is corpse lying"

die of any contagious disorder?''

Tho Enxlish Grain Trade.

The Mark Lane Express of the 18th
says the quantity of English wheat marketed
was again limited, although the condition of
samples has shown decided improvement,
The imports of foreign wheat to London have
been moderate, and would have been exceed
ingly small but for the unusual dullness of the
season, which prevented shipments from
Revel. According to last Mondays arrivals
at least one-half Of the weeks supply was
furnished by North Russia by way Of this port.
The latest advices state Revel is still closed by
ice, SO that for the present We must not ex
pect much more grain form this source Arriv-
ais from India and Persia are steady decreas-
ing, but the moderate sales which East Indian
produce has obtained have once more attrated
the attention of the millers. The raising of
the blockade of the Black sea ports has been
deprived of its influence on trade by the
political situation. The present is time of
suspense, and business has moved within
moderate limits, which is all that can be ex-
pected as long as such uncertainty prevails
The country demand for wheat has improved
and fair consumptivc inquiry has been met
at an advance OF shilling per quarter. Bar
Icy, maize and feeding stuffs ruled quiet, will,

ENGLISH Stock Market.

The London Economist of the Esd of
Feb, in speaking of the money market in that
city says the rate of discount in the open
market has been firm at ~ per cent. The
price of silver is due to the passage of the
Bland silver bill, speculative absorption of
India councils paper, and purchases by Russia
from Germany for coinage purposes. The
stock markets have been subjected to very
sharp fluctuations during the week. Tuesday
the fall of prices was almost unparalleled
Statements were circulated that Russia was
massing large bodies of troops in Roumania,
and buying silver from Germans to heavy
amount, that our government was hurrying
preparations, and that Lord Derby would
make an unfavorable statement in the House
of Lords that evening. This Lord Derby did
not do, consequently there has been fairly
good renewal of confidence, and the result of
which has been moderate improvement in
most securities. The effect ofthe passage of the
silver bill through the United States Senate
by more than two-thirds majority was not at
once apparent. American bonds prices at
first showed a tendency to advance, probably
in sympathy with the general tone of the
markets, but there has since been some gen.
uine selling which caused a relapse. The
American railroad market has been compare
lively well supported.

Life in-ltaly.

AAc AIallttuS live very SIMPLY. Inc
country people are content with diet
which most American farmers would de-
spise. They have four necessaries of life,
the supply of which is always first con-
sidered-bread, maccaroni, oil and wine.
The ordinary bread is coarse and rather
dark, but decidedly more nutritious than
thatmade from our finely bolted American
flour. We imagine that bread is good in
proportion as it is achite, and thus lose
much of its best property. The Italians
sometimes cook maccaroni in salt and
water, from necessity; but, whenever
possible, in meat and broth, with the ad-
dition of cheese and tomatoes. The olive
oil, which each farmer makes for himself,
is far better and wholesomer than lard
in fact, it is almost equal to fresh butter.
Whatever is fried in it is sweet. palatable
and easily digested
A great many Ameicans knowing
olive oil only as medicine, shudder
when they hear it spoken of as an article
OF food. Yet have often seen them, in
Italy, heartily relisling their chops, and
omelettes, and fried fish, without the
least suspicion Of the fact that much oil
the flavor was due to the OIL Wine, on
ions and oil, to great extent, supply
the place of meat; but eggs and fish are
also plentiful, and usually cheap. The
flesh of pigs and goats--the raising O
both animals being little expense to even
the smallest landowners is much more
common than veal or beef Old or dis
abled horses are fattened and slaughtered
and many an Unconscious visitor to Rome,
Naples or Florence, takes his share Of
roasted horse is the restaurants, After a
little experience learned to distinguish
the flesh, and having no prejudice against
the use of it, l frequently ordered it for
dinner. 1t has coarser grain than beef
and slightly paler color; the flavor is
similar, but with suggestion of sweet
ness. If the horse be not too old, he
furnishes really pa!atable roast
The people work steadily, but not with
haste Or energy; and they take their full
share of the many holidays that their
Church allows them. Their houses are
always solidly built of stone, and last fer
centuries; but only those who are in ex,
ceptionally good circumstances have sep
crate rooms for guests. Ordinarily the
neighbors come and go, almost like mem
bers Of the family, sitting beside the fire
of faggots in the winter, or under the vine
trellis in the summer. There are always
a few apple and fig trees near the house.
The latter bear fruit twice year lin June
and October) and contribute a good deal
to the daily food Of the people.
Imust not forget to mention three 9th
or important articles of nourishme nt-in
Northern Italy the pumpkin; In Central
Italy, Indian corn, and in Corsica and
among the Appennines, chestnuts. Pump
kins cut in slices and baked, are sold at
the street corners, and the inner kernels
of their flat seeds are as much relished by
the boys of Venice and Florence, as pea
nuts are by ours !.

know corn as well as we do, and they
would not learn much from Mr.. Hewitt's
proposed missionary corn-restaurant at
Paris, except some new varieties of cook
ing They roast the green ears instead
OF boiling them, and their favorite dish
(polenta) is sort Of thick mush, or 'ponc,"
made OF corn-meal, salt and water. Italy
Is the only country in Europe where an
american can get fried mush, and quite
as good as at home. The chestnuts are
very large--such as we call Spanish
chestnuts-and exceedingly nutritious;
they arc :lot only roasted, but ground in
to flour when dry, and baked as cakes.
In Corsica they are a more important
crop than even wheat; in fact, chestnuts
arc called "Corsican bread"

times, though mainly by foreigners who

scandal and shamed her detractors to

During more than seventy years she
