A Poor Town for Business.

He was a red-eyed, wild-eyed man
from the head waters Of Sage Run, and
looked as if he had not been in town
since oil was discovered. His rusty
pants were several inches too short for
him and he carried half dozen COON
skins in his hand.
At the post-oflice corner he net a
South Side lady, and stopping her by
holding the bunch of hides before her
face, said:
"Can't sell you something nice to
make set of furs out Off"
The lady screamed, and shot across to
the other side of the street.
"DOes any of your ncighbors want
to buy anything of the kind?" yelled
the red-nosed man.
The lady screamed again.
"Now, what's the matter with Han
ner?" remarked the red-nOsed man, as
the lady disappeared in the doorway
opposite.
A moment later the man veered into
a bank and threw the hides down at the
cashiers window.
"Got some A No. ! cOon-skins here
that I'll sell cheap. Not scratch of a
tooth on any of 'em. Ketched every
one of 'em in box trap"
"We have no use for them," said the
President, politely, as he cast an OBJ
lique glance at the goods.
They'll make you nice vest" said
the red-nosed man; "TwO hides III
make you vest, and one II make you
cap that'll wear you as long as you
live"
"My dear sir" said the President,
somewhat confused; 1--WE don't want
hides here. Take them somewhere
else, please.
"Mebbe your wife would like set of
furs and these is"
"No, no, no, replied the banker, i'm
patiently; "take the things away; they
are offensive"
"What's that?" said the red-nosed
man sharply.
Take the blamed things out of this u
exclaimed the exasperated banker
"they smell like slaughter house."
"I'll take dollar for the lot"
1.-THE people next door buy COON
SKINS" put in the cashier; "take them
in there; take them down town; take
them over the river; take them"
"Gimme fifty cents for the lot" per-
sisted the red-nosed man.
"If you don't get out of this I'll kick
your head off," yelled the infuriated
President.
"I'll take thirty cents for SIX" said
the red-nosed man. "D'ye say the
word ?" and he dangled the bunch by
the tails.
The President started for the outside.
The man with the skins started for the
sidewalk, and, after having reached it,
he paused and said:
"And this is the boosted Oil City, is
itP Grea-a-at Godfrey? If seal-skin
and sable were selling for a cent car
load, the hull town couldn't buy the

Mrs. Gov. DOminis, of Hawaii, has
arrived in San Francisco for a brief
visit, but will not extend her travels In
this country, her object being to at
tempt to improve her health, which is
delicate. The San Francisco Chronicle
gives an account Of recent call on her
and says: "Mrs. Dominis rose and
greeted the reporter with quiet cour-
tesy, and introduced her to Mrs. Dow
sett, a native lady Of commanding face
and figure, whose husband is a member
of the house of mobiles, and to Mrs. Will
son, a resident of the island, both OF
whom accompany her on this, her first
visit to the United States. The royal
Princess Lydia Kamakaeha is lady
about forty years of age, Of Fiddle
height, and well-rounded form, with a
complexion Spanish in its tint, liquid
dark brown eyes, and much resembling
in feature her brother King Kalakaua.
She was attired in rich black silk, cut
in the latest style, the overskirt draped
in folds across the front, and finished
with quilting of handsome black lace.
Her hair was arranged in a simple coil
at the back of her head, the front being
frizzed in the prevailing style. A rich
necklace of gold encircled her neck, and
superb diamonds glittered on her
fingers, while her wrists were decorated
with somewhat peculiar bracelets, COM.
posed of three strands of very large
black beads. The other ladies of the
party were simply but elegantly at
tired in black. The Princes spoke Eng
lish very 1uently with no perceivable
accent, in softly modulatcd voice, a
little hesitation now and then being
the only popularity observed in her
speech. Mrs. DOminis evinced an un-
usual depth of thought, interest in sci
entific subjects and rare conversational
powers. King Kalakuka and the prin-
cess were both educated at the royal
school at Honolulu, under the director
ship of Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke. In 1877
she was declared heir apparant to the
throne, and should the king die at any
time, she will become queen. Her hus-
band, his Excellency John Owen Do
minis, is a Boston man, Of middle
height, with dark hair, beard and eyes,
the tinge of tropical climate on his
skin, and is Governor of Oahu. The
party will remain in the State couple
of months longer, and if Mrs. Dominis'
health permits, will visit Yosemite be-
fore their departure"

A History of the World written in the
Stars.


A little book was printed in England
number of years ago suggesting a
beautiful idea in relation to the waves
of light and sound. Starting out with
the fact that 1t takes light eight minutes
to travel from the sun to the earth, 1t
was dwelt upon that we see the sun
not as it is at this precise moment, but
as it was eight minutes ago. Turning
this thought around, it followed that a
person at the sun would see the earth,
not as 1t was at the instant he was look
ing at It, but as it was 4S0 seconds be-
fore. SO if one went to the nearest
fixed star, he would see the earth, sup
posing him to have an all-powered eye
as 1t was three years ago. The traveller
might continue his trip to far distant
stars, and the world he looked at, at
that distance would be that Of the time
of Adam and Eve. In a word, the his
tory of the world was written In letters
of light throughout the universe. La a
similar way sound was treated, the
suggestion being that every word that
had been uttered, every sound that had
been made, had started vibrations
which, If we could only get at the right
place, and had an ear sensitive enough
to hear them, could be caught up again

ter as he had been in the world, here
all was forgotten. He never sneered
at woman here. There was nothing In
the calm, venerable mother of the
household to awaken other feelings than
those of love and respect. Aud Lucy,
moving about her daily tasks and pleas
ures with her bright smile, her sincere
and gentle glance, her active thought
fulness for every one around her, was
not girl to awaken contempt. From
the first he had believed i'm her, as he
thought, because of her resemblance to
his long-lost mother, but, as he after
wards realized, because of what she was
herself.
Her innocence, her truthfulness, and
her goodness charmed him more than
her grace, or the indefinable witchery
of face that was not beautiful, but, as
he acknowledged, more attractive than
any other he had ever seen.
When Frank at length returned to
the city he wore "the counterfeit pre-
sentiment" of that sweet face near his
heart, and gazed at it-often-with an
intentness and fondness entirely incon-
sistent with his previous cynical ex-
pressions regarding the whole of the
SEX
With the New Year, Lucy went out
of the old farmhouse bride.
Two years afterwards, while Frank
was toddling a baby on his knee in the
nursury in their luxurious home, Lucy
leaned over the back of his chair, and
putting her arms around his neck, said :
"Dear Frank, l have always had a
secret from you"
"Well, Lucy! What is it?"
"I fell in love with you the first mo.
ment l saw you"

Leading q Calf.

He was a small and muscular boy,
and the calf was probably two months
old, with development of unadultera-
ted cussedness that would do credit to
Georgia Ku Klux Klan Captain.
There was rope between them, and as
they went down South Third street bets
were about even as TO whether the boy
was leading the calf or the calf leading
the boy. The calf made dash for the
Central Express office. The boy pulled
him back, and he made dash for the
boy who run around wagon and fell
over watermelon pile the proprietor
whereof swore copiously.
"Come back here, you Internal clod-
buster, and pay for this melon"
"Say, Mister, whoa-giye me my
thunderation on you-hat, won't yer?"
And the calf kicked up its heels and
b-a-a-ed, and tried to run into a store,
but the boy sat back on the line with
all his strength and suddenly sat down
in the mud as the calf altered his mind
and turned around to look at him, they
went quietly ten steps till dog barked,
when it took four circles around the
boy in as many seconds, tying his legs
up in the line, bringing him down in
the mud again, and dragged him around
until he looked like an old hat that had
been run over by the ice cart for two
seasons.
A philanthropic fat man by the name
of Wilson, lawyer, went to the boys
assistance, but the calf kicked him on
the shin and butted him in the con-
denser, so that he sat down on the curb
stone and tried to die easy. Then the
boy and the calf entangled themselves,
and started down the street like a mail
train behind time, until the calf scar
ing at something, stopped suddenly, and
the boy fell over it and lost the rope.
The calf at once took to its heels, every
boy in the street running after and
grabbing at the rope, until it got en-
tangled in the bridge, when its conduc-
tor caught it by the ear and tail, and a
lively fight toek place across the bridge
and out of sight, while everybody along
the street proceeded to tell how easy ii
is to lead a calfif you only go their way
about it.

The origin of the above is briefly told
A young student of Naples believing
himself dying, and fearing the news of
his death would break the heart of his
widowed mother, who passionately
loved him--after much reflection adopt
ed this device: He wrote to his mother,
telling her that he was i'll, and that
soothsayer had foretold that he could
not recover until he wore shirt made
by woman who had no trouble-in
fact, who was perfectly happy and con-
tented. The widow, in her simplicity
thought the attaining such a garment
was an easy task, but after making in
quiries from her friends, found that
each had secret care. At last she
heard, from several sources, of lady
surrounded by every comfort, and pos
sessing husband who seemed to think
of nothing but making her happy. The
old lady fastened to her, and made
known her wish; the lady made no re-
ply but took her visitor to an adjoining
closet, where she was horror-struck at
beholding skeleton suspended from a
beam. For twenty years have been
married, +" said the lady. "T was forced
to marry my husband while loving an
other; shortly after our wedding, my
former lover came one evening to bid
me farewell forever; my husband sur
prlsed us while together, and instantly
stabbed him whom he unjustly sus-
pected, to the heart; he then caused his
skeleton to be preserved, and every day
he makes me visit It," The widow con-
cluded that no one was without trouble,
and as her son had desired she became
reconciled to the idea Of his loss. Every
one has his troubles-there is a skeleton
in every house. -.

Theories of the SUMS Heat.

AS yet, no perfectly satisfactory basis
has been found for theory of the suns
heat, which shall be quite in accordance
with accepted hypothesis of the earth's
formation. The contraction of the
suns mass is estimated as giving out
heat for only 1000, 900 years, while the
stratification of the earth's crust may
have taken twenty-five times that pc
riod. Prof. Croll has devised theory
which was described some months ago,
designed to meet the difficulty. He
shows that the period of the suns heat
may have been immensely longer, if we
suppose that that luminary was origi-
nally two separate bodies travelling
through space at velocity Of 50O,l 900,
or / $50 miles per second, and that these
bodies came into collision. Prof. Daniel
Kirkwood, reviewing DR.. Croll's hypo-
thesis, considers it unsatisfactory, be-
cause it has nc sufficient basis in the
facts of observation. We have no
knowledge of more rapid motion than
200 miles per second among the stars,
and the chances of collision are re-
motely improbable. On the whole ii
seems to the Professor more difficult to
grant the demands of DR.. Croll's hypo-
thesis than to believe that in former
ages the stratifcation of the earth pro-
ceeded more rapidly than now. But
Professor Kirkwood is an astronomer,
and it is not particularly surprising
that he prefers to put the burden on
the shoulders of the geologists, or that
he can less readily conceive of change
in the method of doing things in the
sky than on the earth.

Only Plain Smith.

"Who is thatP" asked Brown of
Jones, as Smith passed by his store.
"That is Mr.. - Smith, sir, replied
Jones, "and 1 will bet you the cigars
you can't spell his name"
"I'll take that bet" quickly rejoined
Brown, casting a glance toward the
clouds with a look of scholarly wis
dom as he complacently removed fresh
Havana and puffed from his lips cloud
of blue smoke that floated in wreaths
and curls over his head. "Smith-
S-c-h-m-i-d-t," was his first effort.
"Try again"
"S-c-h-m-i-t."
Wrong again"
"Well, it amt S-m-y-the, for that
spells Smythe,"
mo-"
"Now, l have it; S-c-h-m-i-tt."
"No sir; you've missed again and |
have won the cigars"
"Well, then, l give 1t up" said
Brown. GLOW in thunder do you
spell it them"
easy enough spell Smith
S-m-i-t-h."
"But that" said Brown, with look
of innocent surprise, "is plain Smith" "
Certainly replied Jones, {" that is
what | said--plain Smith"
Brown gently relighted his cigar and
walked back into his office, repeating
as he went, Schmidt, Schmitt, Smith,
