Carried His own Pea.

The following story is told in the
Gemtlemoss's Magazine: ga friend of
mine travelling afoot with a companion
through the green lanes of the midland
counties, came Unexpectedly upon a
country race caurse, and found in one
portion of the ground thimblerig
establishment in full work. In spite of
circumstances his companion, thor
ough madcap, whom | will call A, in.
sisted on observing the game. Would
the gent like to bet a crown he could
find the little pea9 said the
expert. Agreed, was the answer. The
money on both sides was deposited, and
A, lifting up the thimble, pointed out
the required pea and took the stakes. A
second bet, double or quits ended to
the obvious surprise OF the officiator at
the board, in the same result. A third
bet, 6 pound or nothing steadied the
nerves of the loser, and the trick was
accomplished with much circumsrec-
ton. Again A lifted up the thimble
and showed the pea, taking at the same
time the stake. IS help me- ETC., said
the bewildered artist, I didn't put it
there No. said the winner, retreat
ing with the spoil of war; Il always

.Japanese Eaxims.

Some of the precepts in the shorter
code are based ON instincts of good breed
ing, and, apart from local coloring, are
such as characterize civilized society
everywhere. Of this universal nature
are such as these: Do not talk with q
toothpick in the mouth; complete the
toilet before meeting people in the morn
ing; receive visitor without unneces-
sary delay; do not talk rudely or coarse
ly in company, and don't talk with the
hands hidden in the dress (angticc, peck
ets); when a guest is visiting you, offer
him the use Of the bath on arising before
using it yourself; in company don't
monopolize the fire; if another is using
the ink-stone wait until he has finished
writing before using it yourself; don't
look at letters intended for others; dom
stare at other peoples wives; don't enter
private apartments without announce
ment; if another is sleeping be careful
not to disturb him; do not interrupt q
person who is speaking; don't ride too
near a picnic party or before windows
The delicacy which prompts such regu.
lations as these will be appreciated by
every one.-Go01 Company.

says he has seen on bracing but sunny
October day, French peasant riding in
from the country having on his body
wraps enough to argue that the mercury
was far below the freezing point. His
feet were covered by thick yarn stock
ings, next list slippers, and over all the
wooden shoe. He concludes:
| do not think my conclusions as re-
CARDS the general firelessness of the Par
isians to be very wide of the mark. l
asked an American art student, several
years resident in Paris, his experience
in the matter. He told me that he
couldn't afford to risk his health by Wis
iting certain French families during the
winter, for their rooms were too cold
and damp. l know from personal OBJ
servation that working women, living in
their lofty little garrets on the boule-

few sticks of charcoal they bring home to

Ailantus Wood.

Persons who know the ailantus only
as a shade tree, with its nauseous blooms
and uncouth growth, will be glad to
learn that it possesses invaluable quail
ties Of strength, durability, beauty of
finish and color for carpentry and cabi-
net work, freedom from warping and
shrinkage, ease of being worked without
injury to tools, and with little or no
waste. 1t is a rapid growing tree, as all
know, upon poor soils as we'll as good
ones, in exposed situations on the sea
coast and in the interior. 1t seasons
readily, and when dry is free from the
unpleasant odor which characterizes the
wood when green. It has a higher value
as fuel than most of the wood in general
use. Experiments made in the French
backward st Toulon showed that the
ailantus broke with weight of u, 1856
lbs, where the elm yielded to weight
of 54,7O7 lbs, and the oak to a eight
of 43, 454 lbs. The small second growth
is said to make very durable grape stakes,
to which it seems well adapted. A set
of furniture, made of this wood, has
been used in Providence, r. l., for about
twenty years. It takes high polish,
and may be cut so as to present q satin
lustre which is very pleasing. 1t is re-
garded by some cabinet-makers as equal
to mahogany and superior to black wal
nut i'm the matter of shrinking. For the
treads of stairs, for floors of Offices, mills
and other buildings, where hard, strong
wood is required, it is regarded by many
as superior to most of the wood thus
employed. Its warm color makes it an
effective finish when used with 10th
lighter and darker woods, and as wains-
coting is again becoming fashionable,
the ease of producing this wood where
other woods are not readily obtainable
will recommend this style of interior
finish. The tree grows more rapidly
when young than when it has attained
considerable aee.-Scientifc american,

The Butcher Who Lost.

A hump-shouldered old man, followed
by a dog which seemed to have tasted
for year past, entered Woodward
avenue butcher-shop the other day, and
the man made some inquiries about the
price of smoked hams. The butcher saw
the dog, of course, and who ever saw q
butcher who didn't want to know all
about dog.
Is that a good coon dog?" asked the
butcher as he patted the shy canine On
the head.
ooh, no-he's trick dog" answered
the owner.
ssIs Ell? What tricks can he do?"
ooh, dozen or two. He has one
very peculiar trick, though. Would you
like to see him do it?"
Il would, that. What is it?"
The man directed the butcher to put
q pound of nice beefsteak on a sheet of
clean brown paper and place the whole
on the doorstep. He then said to his
dog, which had watched matters very
keenly:
CHOW, Cato, I am about to call upon
you to perform a trick. You have never
gone back ON me yet, and I have perfect
confidence in you now. Cato, do yov
see that meat?"
Cato saw it. He walked over to it,
seized it in his mouth, and as he went
up the street it was hard to tell dog
from dust. ~
Hum! yes!" muttered the butcher !;
ado you call that trick?"
GO d." confidently replied the man.
"Well, it's blasted mean onel"
"Just so-just so,' said the man.
"You couldn' expect such looking dog
as that to be around playing tricks on a
guitar or a jewsharp, could you? I'll
see you later about the hams" -Detrost

Experiments in Opium Smoking.

The Russian traveller, DIR. Miclucho
Maclay, while recently on visit to
Hong Kong, experimental on the effects
upon himself of smoking opium. The
experiment was made at the Chinese
club, and was under the direction of DR..
'Clude, who made the following notes:
Mr.. Maclay was IN normal health, and
had tasted eighteen hours before COM
mencing the experiment. He had never
smoked tobacco. Twenty-seven pipes,
equivalent to 107 grains of the opium
used by the Chinese were smoked in two
and three-quartes hours, at toaerably
regular intervals. The third removed
the feeling of languor caused by his long
fast, and his pulSe rose from Y to so.
The fourth and fifth caused slight heav-
mess and desire for sleep, but there was
no hesitation in giving correct replies to
questions, though he could not guide him
self about the room. After the seventh
pipe the pulse fell to 70. The
twelfth pipe was followed by singing in
the ears, and after the thirteenth he
laughed heartily, though without any
cause that he can remember. Questions
asked at this time were answered only
dIVSl pause, duu hOt always COfstClly.
He had for some time ceased to be con-
scious of his actions. After the twenty
fifth pipe, questions asked in loud tone
were not answered. After the last pipe
had been smoked, he remarked, 81 do
not hear we'll" Forty minutes later
there was a slight return of conscious
ness. He said: "I am quite bewildered.
May smoke some more? Is the man
with the pipe gone already?" Fifteen
minutes later he was able to 60 home,
and then retired to bed, He woke the
next morning at 6 O'Clock, and took a
hearty meal, after his fast of thirty
hours. During the next day he felt as
if he had bees in great hollow in his
head, as well as slight headache. The
organs Of locomotioa were first affected,
next came sight and hearing, but Mr..
Maclay is positive that there were no
dreams, Authorizations or visions of any
sort whatever.

Paris Corr. of the London Time

far1S COTT. OF the LONDON lines.
Ismalrs sole passion was for boarding,
and curious anecdotes are current on
this subject. Out of forty-two table
services dating back to Said Pasha, and
some of them of massive gold set with
precious stones, he has taken away forty
one, and when the parsonage I have
mentioned, on being invited to breakfast
by Tewfk, remarked that his table
service was incomplete, Tewfk, replied,
Yes, it is the only one my father has
left me-" From the moment abdication
was presented to him, Ismall's only idea
was to stave it off long enough to pack
up everything, and when all his trunks
were on board, the sensation was such
that the consuls asked themselves wheth-
er they ought not to lay an embargo on
them. His fortune is estimated at G16,-
100000; yet the very day of his depart
ure he gave browning example of his
ruling passion. A red carpet had been
laid down on the quay as a mark of
royal honor. Ismall, affecting to show
that he was no longer a sovereign, walk
ed alongside it on the bare ground, but
on arriving at the spot where customs
duties are collected, and learning that
there was 1900 (Turkish) in the office,
he resumed for moment his regal func-
lions, and ordered the money to be
brought to him on board, which, how
ever, did not prevent his writing few
days afterward to Tewfik for $4,000
(Turkish), (Which he stood in great
want of, not having farthing." Unlike
his father, Tewfk pushes ideas of econo-
my almost to an extreme. His house
hold is reduced to the simple scale, and
every month the salaries of his personal
attendants are paid under his own super
vision; he has reduced his civil list to a
low figure; nothing goes into his private
purse; he has made it kind of ambition
to meet the engagements of Egypt; and
an eye witness assures me has seen him
extinguishing candles which we're burn
ing in an empty room.

a Bird Dies of a Broken Heart.

A child, whose parents were employed
in one of the most respectable families
in Jacksonville, was in the habit of play
ing upon the piazza. Near by mock
ing bird had its nest in the orange trees
and sang most beautifully, and the little
child would throw crumbs to the bird
daily. Ere long the child was taken
sick, and the bird was forgotten in the
anxiety for the sick one; and, notwith-
standing all was done that could be done,
the child died. While the child's body
was lying on the cooling-board, the bird

The VenOmOus Breath of Malaria
Does not infect the system of those who use
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as precaution
against it. Nor is it less useful as remedy
where intermittent and remittent fever has
fully established itself, in consequence of q
neglect of preventive measures It checks the
paroxysms with astonishing certainty, and
eradicates this type of disease even in it's
most inveterate form. This medicine is an
especial boom to the emigrant population of
the far West where fevers of malarial type
are particularly prevalent but the recognition of
its merits is SO far from being limited, that it
is known and appraised at it's true value
throughout the length and breadth of America.
