The Conhding Man.

A solitary lady was going up town oil
a horse-car, recently, milling as if sh,
believed all the world at peace, when .
man with handkerchief bound around
his head got aboard and sat opposite
her. He doubtless felt that some ex
PLANTATION should be made for his ap
pearance, and he suddenly said:
Madam, | was not run over by 6
butcher-cart."
She made no reply, and he presently
continued:
"And | didn't fall down stairs"
She looked out of the window as il
she didn't care whether he had gone
down through bridge or been blown
up. He moved around uneasily, and
then whispered:
"'Twas family fght--worst conflict
you ever saw-most beat tornado
You look thin and weak and pale, and
don't mind telling you how the old
woman always"
"Will you mind your business p
called the driver, as he opened the
door.

signs for a terrible conflict, you see.

driver.
II will will; but first let me say
that there is always some preliminary
jawing and sassing around. If the
woman is sharp, she will keep jawing as
she backs for the e-shovel-keep jaw
ing and Distinguishing and backing"
"Pll put you off the carl" exclaimed
the driver, as he loopcd his linesover the
brake.

"Of with you-right of'n this car p
said the driver, as he grappled him.
" l will-Pll go; but madam, don't
forget to sneak along and sneak along"
He was off the car by that time. He
stood in the middle of the street, and as
the car started, he turned his head in,
and hoarsely shouted:
"Strike for all you're worth when
you hit him! It's the first blow that
counts. If you can stun him ON the
start, the victory is"
The driver made for him, and he re-
treated to the curbstone. When the car
started again, he leaned forward and
called out:

LOVELY woman sleeps with revolt
yer under her pillow in Nevava. At
dead of night plucky little woman in
Eureka awoke to find burly burglar
prowling about her room, and ransack-
ing the bureau. She did not scream.
She lay as still as corpse, and waited
until he entered the parlor. Then she
took a revolver from its nest underneath
her pillow, and, creeping to the door
way, leveled it at the intruder, and,
without a tremsr in her voice, COM
manded him to give up his plumber
There was fire in her eye, and iron in
her tones, and the burglar quailed. A
bracelet, a gold chain, a pair Of ear,
rings, MI the jewels which he had found
in the top bureau-drawer, he laid on the
parlor table and meekly asked her il
She had any further remarks to make
She told him he ought to be ashamed Of
himself, and expressed her keen regret
that the scantiness of her toilet would
prevent her conducting him to Jail
He bowed gravely and left the house
The little woman then dressed herself
lighted lantern, went to the furnace
where her husband was employed anc
told him about it.

Funny Side of Somnam bulism.

Science does not explain all the facts
of somnambulism. The somnambulist
moves about in the dark as readily as in
the light, fearlessly puts himselfin DAN
gerous positions securely stands on
slippery places, executes feats of agility
impossible to him when awake. Some
times he performs difficult work, he
has been known to paint picture in
utter darkness and to do other act,
such as required for their execution no
ordinary intelligence in wide-awake men.
Yet when the somnambulist awakes from
his unnatural condition, he knows
literally nothing of his extraordinary
acts.
Occasionally the acknowledgements
in humorous character, as did the
woman in the following anecdote, whose
truthfulness is vouched for:
One night the grandmother of the
writer was awakened by some one fun
bling about the bedroom.
"Who's there7' she asked.
"Susan," was whined out by the SER
want n , SRI. .. .,
q am trying to find needle and
thread, to sew up the Commandments"
answered the fumbling Susan.
What do you meanp'
L have broken one of them"
(Which p
Thou shalt not steal / have been
stealing your sugar and giving it to
Thomas, p the girls lover.
How did you get it to him ?''
In one of your stockings, and / put
it in the hollow tree for him"
On the next morning the stocking was
examined, and, sure enough, it showed
that Susan did indeed need to sew up
the Eighth Commandment. Her only
plea when she was brought face to face
with her own accusation was
az shouldn't have done it, had it not
been for that red-headed fellow"

The wreck of a German-American
steamer off the Scilly Islands two years
ago, recalled the dreadful calamity
which befell the British fleet under the
command of the famous Sir Cloudesley
Shovel at the same place in the reign of
Queen Ann, but we do not remember
ever to have seen the following remark
able anecdote, mentioned by the Rev.
George Woodley, a clergyman residing
on the islands, in work ON them pub
lished in 1923: "The day before the oc.
eurrence of the disaster, seaman of the
Association (man-of war;, we'll ac-
quainted with the navigation of the
channel, ventured to represent to the
Admiral that, by the course he was steer
ing, he would inevitably run on Sicily
rocks. The Admiral was incensed at
this officiousness, as he considered it,
charged the man with insubordination
and endeavoring to excite mutiny,
and in very summary manner con-
demned him to be hanged. The poor
fellow begged as last favor that psalm
might be read before his execution,
which, being granted, he chose the
one hundred and ninth, remarkable for
expressions imprecatory or declaratory
of evil. He was hanged according to
sentence" Admirals certainly did very
high-handed things in those days, but
Shovel, who had himself been common
sailor before the mast, enjoyed the repu-
tation of being very good and humane.
If he did do this, the retribution was
indeed awful. He is generally supposed
to have been washed ashore alive, and
murdered for costly ring he wore.

The Courageous Domestic.

A tramp, inclined to se-breaking,
was prevented from INDUCING his pro-
clivity and punished for the attempt by a
cou1 ageous domestic. Her employer
left her in sole charge of his dwelling
house, and that he safely trusted her is
shown by the following narrative from
the Boston Transcript:
The wayfarer knocked lightly at the
door, and his call was duly responded to.
He asked the time. The girl was not
exact in her answer. "Wiil you look
at the clockF" he asked
i cannot leave the door," she calmly
replied.
Seeing that his clock ruse did not
work, the man attempted to push by in
to the house; but the girl resisted him
and held him at bay, until he Iesorted
to more strategy.
Bracing his hands against the door
posts for added power, he was about to
force crisis, which the domestic was not
slow in effectively meeting. Suddenly
giving way to him, the man fell inwardly,
keeping firm hold of the hinge-post to
save himself.
The girl availed herself of this position
by suddenly closing the door before the
tramp could relinquish his hold, catch
ing his fingers in the closing crevice.
There she held him, the man alternately
threatening and begging for release, yet
carefully restraining himself from max
ing any loud cutlery for fear of alarming
the neighborhood, for it was broad day
light. Her leverage was good. The
fierce housebreaker was soon reduced to
the humble state of kitten in a trap,
whining and writhing in his agony, and
was only too eager to accept ignominious
terms, and flee the ranch on double,
quick.

Victor Emanael's Disease.

The origin of the disease, which was
pleuro-pneumonia of the right side, with
symptoms of military fever, was chill
taken during perspiration. The King
constantly refused to submit to the dircc-
tions of the physicians, who recom-
m fsysishs a years old id and have never
worn any, That is what he said. The
people of the palace say that the King
took cold while standing in his shirt
sleeves in one of the open windows Of
the Quirinal which looked into the gar
den. When he didn't sleep the King
had the habit of smoking his cigar
at the window, and it is there he must
have taken his fever and the diseaae of
the lungs. Up to the 9th Of January,
the day preceding his death, the King
showed his displeasure, although laugh
ing, at the absolute Introduction Of
smoking.

A DANISH agricultural journal re-
commends, to those of its readers who
wish to provide themselves every winter
with sufficient supply of ice to last
during the whole of the summer, the
following simple means of increasing the
thickness of the ice during mild winters.
Long and intense cold is necessary to
produce coating of ice of more than
two or three inches thickness upon
surface of water of any considerable ex-
tent. But if hole is made in the ice
and the surface from time to TINE COW
cred with shallow layer of water, even
moderately cold weather will suffice to
freeze this water, and by repeating the
experiment ice of ten inches or foot in
thickness is obtained without much diff
Guilty. The Danish journal therefore
proposes the use of portable pumps to be
placed into the ice holes for the purpose
described.

Coon wheat ought to furnish at least
rs per cent. of fine -four. The best
samples often furnish rs to 80 per cent,
and in few rare instances as much as
Sc per cent. of -four mas been obtained.
Inferior varieties seldom produce more
than GO per cent, and in some instances
only "a to 56 per cent. of -four has been
obtained from bad samples. On an
average, wheat may be said to yield75
per cent. of fine -four and rs per cent. of
bran and middlings.

THERE died at st. Calais the other
day, at the extreme age of ninety-one
years, an officer, long retired, of the
British naval service, whom the United
States some generations ago did its best
to kill. In 1916, Lieutenant Charles
Boyce, the deceased, was sailing a brig
Of fourteen guns, the Nautilus, and met
in Eastern waters the United States
corvette, Peacock, with twenty-five guns,
commanded by Captain Warrington.
Peace had been declared, and Boyce,
who had knowledge of it, lowered boat
to convey the information to the Ameri-
can commander. The response was an
order to strike his flag. The English-

would kill the king, They said they
would stop the war il we would only
give him up. So we gave up the king,
but the war did notstop. 1t began again,
and went on worse and worse, day and
night, until there were very few OF us
left. Then those who still remained
alive thought it was necessary to try to
get away before they, too, we're killed.
In the dead of the night we got out of
this forest and tried to make our way
home. We lost the track, and the sava-
ges trailed us and followed us up every
step of the road was marked with
corpse---until the few iving-only
five men-were left to tell the tale, and
l am one of them. This is the story of
the dwarfs."

DR.. IsCHAMER, of Graz, has discovered
that the little black specks which are
often found on the skins of oranges and
apples are clusters of fungi, precisely
similar to those to which whooping
cough is attributed. He scraped some
of the black specks off an orange, and
introduced them into his lungs by a
strong inspiration. The next day he
had violent tickling in the throat, and
before the end of the week his little ex-
pertinent had developed into an acute
attack of whooping cough.

man refused, and a broadside from the
Peacock brought him to terms. OF his
small crew six were killed and eight
wounded, Boyce, himself being struck
by grapeshot in his hip, his right knee
and thigh bone being shattered by a
thirty-two pound shot, He surrendered,
but the American, having satisfied his
appetite for gore, released the brig. A
man who didn't expect to be punished
for the rest of his life would have died
of Boyce's wounds, but having been pro-
vided for the rest of his days, Boyce, of
course, lived on till ninety one.

The writer of the weather reports in
oneef the English journals incidentally
remarks that thunder-storms are yearly
becoming less and less frequent in the
neighborhood of London, and attributes
this fact to the publication of the
Thames, and the improved drainage of
the city. He adds that the course of
the most violent thunder-storms follows
the line of polluted rivers, stagnant
ponds, swampy grounds and badly
drained towns, which exhale large vol
umes of nitrous, sulphurous, and other
unwholesome vapors.

D easant bur not pretentious house, sit

very fond of flowers, for the window

The cotton yield of the Southern
States for 1877 will reach 4,750,000
bales. This is nearly 800, 900 more than
that of 1876. The last season was a
most favorable one, and but few COM
planned of worms, caterpillars and rust.
The cotton plant continued to bloom till
chilled, and flowers matured into rolls
of cotton in sixty days. In 1876 the
killing frost that ends the maturity
season occurred October 3, while last
year it held off until November II. The
thirty-nine days additional of maturing
season were great boon to planters.
