An interrupted Story.

Old Bodkin likes . game of euchre,

pioneer incidents that he often makes it
unpleasant for others by trying to play
and tell yarn at the same time. The
other evening he began . story just as
he and three others sat down to play .
social game. He said: ssIt was in 1919
that q family by the name of Gobins

A HOT fight is going on in Toledo,
Ohio, between Christians and Jews over
. little girl. ]. Cooper Price, . wealthy
Christian philanthropist, was told that
q child had been abandoned to cold and
hunger in howell. He went to the place
and took away the child-a bright,
pretty Jewish girl. Subsequently he
adopted her q his own, and had her
baptized, all with the written consent Of
her mother. Rabbi Eyer was deter
mined to prevent the turning of the girl
from the religion Of her people. He
sought out her father, and through him
sued to get the girl. Religious feeling
runs high ON both sides.

Bayard Taylor and His Habits.

Bayard Taylor wrote a beautiful hand.
He detested blind and slovenly writing,
and used to say that any man could
write plainly who would make an eff.
fort. His manuscript was the delight
of printers. Mr.. Taylor wrote quietly
and steadily, and produced CREST deal
more copy" in q given time than any
one would suppose him capable of who
observed his apparent ease and absence
of hurry. He was rather careless in his
dress, but not, like Horace Greeley,
enough so to be conspicuous. He liked
a stout, plain suit of clothes that could
be " m long time, q loose fitting gray
over-coat, and broad-brimmed SLOUGH
hat. He was hearty eater, and was
fond of the German national beverage,
which he habitually drank at dinner.
In religion he might have been classed
as a Unitarian or Deist, though he
had great reverence for the faith of his
Quaker ancestors. In his later years
the desire for travel wore of, and he
used to Get out on . journey with much
reluctance. After seeing and knowing
well all the great cities Of the world his
preference was New York. He often
said that he had rather live there than
in any European Capital. Tay-
lor's wife was daughter Of the cele-
brated German astronomer, Prof. Han
sen. She is q lady Of fine culture and
considerable literary talent. A school
history of Germany, written by her hus-
band for use in American schools, was
recently translated by her into German.

bles her father As he appeared in his
youthful days. Taylor built the house
near Kennett Square where his parents
still live, and where they celebrated
their golden wedding nearly ten years
ago. lie called the place Cedarcroft,

Hindu Contamination Of Food.

A peculiarly common to both RAM
anuja sects is the strict privacy with
which they eat and even prepare their
meals. No Indians like to be looked at
while eating. They are firm believers
in the evil influence of the human eye
(drishtidosha). The preparation of food
is with high-caste natives an affair of
equal secrecy. The mere glance of .
man of inferior caste makes the great
est delicacies UNBEATABLE, and If such q
glance happens to fall on the family
supplies during the cooking operations,
when the ceremonial purity of the wa
ter used is . matter of almost life or
death to every member of the house.
hold, the whole repast has to be thrown
away as If poisoned. The family is for
that day dinnerless. Food thus con-
taminated would, if eaten, communi-
nicate faint to the souls as well as
bodies of the eaters-a faint which could
only be removed by long and painful
expiration. In travelling over every part
of India, and diligently striving to note
the habits IF the natives in every cir
cumstance of their daily life, never
once saw single Hindu, except of the
lowest caste, either preparing or eating
cooked food of any kind. The Raman-
ujas carry these ideas to an extravagant
extreme. They carefully lock the doors
of their kitchens and protect their Gu
linary and prandial operations from the
gaze of even high-caste Brahmans OF
tribes and sects different from their own

A Disconsolate Chimpanzee Widower,

It is not in the power of the melan.
choly muse to compose the sentence
that would bring consolation to the ag.
onized bosom Of Adam. Adam is the
male chimpanzee at the Geological
Garden, and is literally swallowed in
grief at the death of his mate and antic.
ipated bride, Eve.
Inflammation of the stomach brought
her to premature grave. She con.
tracted cold about two weeks ago, and
though DR.. Chapman poured into her
little stomach Just such medicine as he
would prescribe for q dimpled boy OF
girl of the same age, the spirit of the lit
tie beast fed from her clay on Friday,
leaving Adam alone in this strange and
rigorous climate, to rave and pine as
only . little Chimpanzee can do.
Adams grief is pitiable. When his
companion died his screams could be
heard all over the garden, and in the
frenzy of his despair he dashed furious
ly against the bars of his cage, and but
ted his head against the hard floor with
q vehemence that alarmed his keeper.
When the first burst of agony had sub.
sided he crawled into one corner of his
cage, and, burying his head beneath the
straw, gave himself entirely up to grief,
and moaned as though his heart would
break.
These little animals were born near
the Gaboon River, on the West Coast of
Africa, about 100 miles south of the
Equator. They were brought to this
country with several others, and thrived
far better than any of their fellows, who
were placed in other geological gardens
in different parts of the country. This
couple were particularly fond of each
other and of their keeper. They were
almost invariably side by side, and, as a
rule, walked with an arm around each
others waist. They were remarkably
intelligent, and, though Eve was staid,
Adam, when teased or frowned at by
his keeper, would break into lamenta-
tons that would disappear the moment
an encouraging word was spoken to
him.
They required as much care as chill
dren of the same age. The cage in
which they lived was carefully inclosed,
and its temperature kept at 80 dogs.
They were fed upon bananas, oranges,
boiled rice, and tapioca, favored with
wine, and drank sweetened tea with q
gusto that would have gladdened the
heart Of Mrs. Sary Camp.
The remains Of the chimpanzee were
removed to the Jefferson Medical Col
lego on Saturday, when the doctors,
with sharp knives, opened its little
stomach, and gazed into its internal ar
rangements with scientific eye. In q
few days its little skeleton, all white
and shining, will be put together on
wires. to b gazed at by the curious.
Now that he is bereft of his mate, Ad-
am is not the same joyous ape he was,
man delights him not, nor peanuts,
either. his grief wrings his little BEAST
II heart, and It is feared that he will not
survive the winter. -PhilGdeiphia Record.

00ur Railroad. = To-day (Monday) the
engineers begin to run the line for the
road to connect this town with the p.
r.. r.. So many persons believe that
Losh g Run would be far more prefera-
BILE point for connection than Duncan
non, that the engineers will run that
line to see If practicable, and If 1t should
prove to be SO, that will no doubt be the
route adopted. There are many advan-
tages in that route, prominent among
which are, the better coal facilities, the
shortening of distance, and the better
chance for connecting with the Pennsyl-
vania road at great saving in right of
way. Either one of these advantages
would be sufficient reason for taking
that route should it prove feasible, and
there seems to be no doubt but the sur
vey will prove such to be the case. At
any rate it seems to be the firm deter
mination of the citizens of this place to
have railroad outlet, and it is inn
portant that good judgment should be
used in selecting the connecting point.

Cumberland County.--We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
Of last week:
A few days ago valuable cow be-
longing to Alfred Wagner, of North
Middleton twp, was killed by falling
from the barn floor into the yard.
On Friday morning officer Zinn, of
Mechonicsburg, arrested a young man
named Henry Harrison, on suspicion of
being concerned in the recent rail road
robberies at Hagerstown and Newville.
He is held for a further hearing.
The Volunteer states that Mr.. AL.
Huston, of Penn township, recently
turned his cattle into pasture and when
he went for them in the evening, he
was minus a thirty-two dollar cow, the
new clover having caused her to swell
and burst.
On last Sunday evening, little girl
about four years of age, daughter of Mr..
David Weary, of North Middleton twp.
was severely kicked by a colt. At first
it was thought the child was killed, but
it soon became conscious and is now

Charles Sener, son of Mr.. Jacob Sener,
on Friday last was caught in the gear
ing of a machine at Gardner & Co. IS Car
Works, and had one of his arms badly
lacerated. He was also considerably
cut and bruised about his body, and al
most completely stripped of his cloth
ing. Still, in one sense il may be con-
sidered lucky escape.
The old dog peddler and wife We're ar
rested last week on complaint of citizens
of South Middleton, to whom they had
become nuisance. They were commit
ted to jail, and their thirty-three dogs
and goat were lodged in the yard OF
that institution. During the night the
