PASSENGER to Kneel in Hts Night Dress
and Apologize at the Point of a Pistol.
indianapolis Journal.
An amusing affair occurred on the Bee
line train which arrived here yesterday morn
ing. The train passed through Union City
about O'Clock, when the passengers were
aroused by the piercing shrek of passing
locomotive. At the same time woman's
scream echoed through the sleeping-car.
The first scream sounded like an echo, and
the second and third admitted of no doubt.
The sleeping car conductor and porter start
ed from different ends of the car almost SIM
ultaneously, running toward each other and
the sound which came from one of the mid
die berths. woman was found sitting on
the edge of her berth, half crying and half
screaming, not having fully awakened. As
soon as she could collect her senses she in
formed tho conductor that man had tried
to get in her apartment. By the voice she
knew him to be fellow who had got on at
Cleveland, and who had been trying to make
himself agreeable to her in the evening, with
Indifferent success. The man in question
was dragged from his quarters by the indtg-
nant passengers, who by this time had taken
in the situation. He explained that he had
been up after drink, and that on returning
the motion of the car had pitched
him into her berth. The passen-
gers thought his explanation very thin,
and the young lady was evidently
of the same opinion for she reached back
under her pillow and drew silver-mounted
revolver, which she cooked and leveled full
at his head. "Now," said she, 'get down
on your knees and beg my pardon, or will
blow your brains out. carry this revolver
for just such dirty, cowardly dogs as you.
Down. That fellow couldn't get down on
his knees too quick, and right there in the
aisle he made an abject apology for his at
tempted outrage, promising to write to the
lady's father in st. Louis as additional pen
ance The picture of the young woman
pointing revolver at the kneeling figure in
a night-shirt, in front of her, nervously
lingering the trigger, with a dozen spectral
figures standing around, and as many heads
thrust from adjacent berths, would have
afforded a study for IN artist. The
practical conductor, fearing the glrl would
shoot, seized her arm and pointed the weap-
on up. The apology still went on, however,
and the low wretch was kept on his knees
for full five minutes. He then made haste
to stink off, dress and move into a forward
car as quickly as he could. The young
lady proved to be the daughter of a wealthy
st. Louisan, and tho man is thought to be
resident of Cleveland. The Journal re-
porter found it impossible to learn the name
of either. The lady took breakfast here and
the "Wretch'' sneaked out of sight in the
crowd at the union depot.

The Way it Works.
lShakopee Courier. |

The general laws passed at the last session of the
legislature have been received at the Office of the
secretary Of state from the printer and the special
laws Of the session will be delivered to that Office this
week.-Pioneer Press.
1t is more than five months since the legisla-
ture adjourned, and the laws are not yet sent
out from the secretary's Office. Is this not a
conclusive argument in favor of the newspaper
publications?-ot. Cloud Times.
1t does look little that way, don't it?
Within thirty days after the legislature shut
up shop, the papers of Minnesota published
the laws, and their readers have had the ben.
eft of the knowledge to be derived from
them; whereas had we relied on the State
printer the delay attending their issue would
without doubt been disastrous in many

What was to be donei Forty plans were

and we stopped and heard him. He said:

The Art of ProionginG Lie.

Persons living IN marshy districts, all
of whom who are necessary
exposed to miasmatic aXhalations,
will find that lime juice mixed with water
and taken freely as a beverage, will prove
an excellent preventive of malarial fevers.
Those who are suffering from intermittents
will find that antiperiodics, which are
cheaper than the quinine, the great type OF
the class, will answer as good purpose II
taken in the only proper way, that is, full
or even heroic dose one hour before the ex-
pscted recurrence of the chill. When dis
| f4buted throughout the intermission in very
small doses their effect is lost, and disap-
pointment follows The medical gentle
men who so carefully prepared the tabulat-
ed reports of the mOrtuary experience oi
the Mutual Life, of New York, have shown
in their admirable analysis of the causes OF
death, that the proportion of loss from con-
sumption has been 10.1T per cent. of the
total mortality of the company, and 10 per
| l0, 900 annually. Such figures show the
immense importance of more effective me-
thOds of treatment, and we are glad to OBJ
serve in the Medical Record the details
of treatment that, so far, has been very
promising IN its results. The theory Of
cure is to clear the lungs by a mechanical
effort, chiefly by manipulating the muscles
of the throat so as to cause more forcible
breathing: second, to establish perfect di-
gestion, third to promote a process OF heal
ing the tubercles, so that they shall become
chalky or calcified masses, fourth, to COM
pei the patients to take plenty of fresh air,
sunlight, and outdoor exercise. To secure
perfect digestion, a special diet is ordered
in each case, and the food is changed as the
power of assimilating it improves To
promote the calcifying of the tubercles, the
salt of lime, which are found in most veg
etable and animal food, must be supplied
in a soluble condition; the theory is that
too much heat in ordinary cooking des-
troys the natural combination of these salts
with albumen, and renders them insoluble
to weak digestion. Outdoor exercise is
regarded as so important that the patients
are instructed to 90 out in rain, snow,
dampness, or even night air or dew, the
habit thus acquired neutralizing the danger
of catching cold from such exposure. Only
strong head-wind and extreme hot weather
need be guarded against. The patients
sleep with the window open, summer and
winter

The Force of Habit.

Among the many picturesque tTadi-
tions of the Russian army there is a
striking instance OF the force of habit,
the subject of which was a Russian Of
ficer who served at SebastOpol during
the Crimean war. As soon as General
Todleben's defensive works were so
far advanced as to render the city proof
against any immediate assault, the Of
ficer in question was sent TO announce
the good news to the Gar. After trav-
cling night and day over the steppes
for more than a week, he at length
reached Moscow, where Nicholas then
was, so worn out that he had barely
time to place the dispatch in the En-
peror's hands, when overcome by
WEAKNESS, he leaned back against the
wall and fell fast asleep where he stood.
The Gar having read the dispatches
looked up to ask some questions of the
messenger, and at once perceived that
the latter was in no position to reply.
He spoke to him, touched him, even
shook him, all to no purpose. At
length he bent down close to the
sleeper's ear and shouted at the full
pitch of his voice - VdShe GlmgOrOdis
loshadi gOtOUi," Your Honor, the horses
are ready.) The sound of the words
whick had been constantly in his ears
for the last ten days and nights acted
like magic upon the sleeping messen-
ger. He sprang to his feet at once and
was overwhelmed with confusion on
discovering where he was; but the
Gar laughed good-humoredly, and dis
missed him with a high compliment
upon his promptitude.

The Grayling.

In relation to the haunts and habits
of tfrf4fish noted fisher says, the Au
Sable wends its winding way through
the unbroken wilderness a distance of
300 miles. 1t is navigable for small
boats its whole length, and for most of
the distance is as unobstructed as the
Mohawk from Utica to the Hudson.
Many who have the leisure float down
the entire 300 miles, and find grayling
and deer in their season. every foot of
the way. In fishing for graylings he
used his lightestOrvis trout rod and was
Obliged to handle the fish exactly as
he would have handled trout. He
thinks grayling is not equal to trout
of the same size in either wind or bot
tom. The haunts of the graylings are
the counterpaIts Of those of the trout.
As rule, they are found in shady
places, in swift water, in "holes" OF
of moderatate depth, under or by the
side of fallen logs, and on clear gravel
ly bottom. But of course, like trout
they occasionally show themselves else
wherein open and shallow places, ,bul

The Tea Mixers.

To mix different kinds of tea is to bring
one or other up to given degree of strength
or to endow il with an aroma, or to impart
to it particular color, so as to render 1t
more marketable, and otherwise enhance
profit. Consequently it involves the distur-
bance, and very complete disturbance, OF
the original package. ''Give me only
something to work upon, short OF decayed
leaves without vitality" says the packer,
s'and will show you what my art can
accomplish in the way of bringing up an
inferior tea to higher grade and so setting
off the package that it shall appear to have
been undisturbed, OF in accommodating teas
to wrappers not their own"
With an introduction from the tea mer-
chant, we make our way to the packer
establishment. The building is dlngy, its
style out of date, but it has broad, deep,
undivided floors.
On the ground floor, as we enter, we see
chests and half chests in blocks and rows,
and heaps Of mating and China grass twine.
Ascending stair like ladder, we reach
the next floor. There the air is so filled
with tea-dust that it is difficult to discern
an object foot in advance. Men are NOV
| ing hither and thither, some taking off chest
lids fastened by tiny iron clamps, or cutting
with fine instrument along their edges the
leaden sheathing, or emptying the contents
of the chests in separate piles, or running
like mad with scoops from one pile TO an
other. adding OF subtracting, according to
the directions of the mixer, or at the same
high bidding, throwing powder into and
stirring an iron pan, this last scene in far
recess, the figures in the dusty gloom seem
ing ike demons working hidden spells IN
the most approved style of theatrical witch
es. with bony fingers plunged into caul-
dron. This is the famous firing, oil
rather no-firing, though carried on without
any firing. The dust thrown in cllngs tc
the leaves and gives to them natural bloom
not to be detected by the microscope,
which brings them up to a remarkable color.
The scene is one of fraud in full activity.
Supplies never seem to fail. So much foI
mixing.
The actual packing, as distinct from mix
ing. is an extremely ticklish and equally
unscrupulous job, for the tea returned to
chest is not the same as that taken from 1t.
Daintily is the tissue paper impinging on
the tea, disposed; the lead is 50 thin thai
nothing less than Chinese art could soldeI
it, so fine strips of paper are pasted oyel
the cut edges The Chinese label has beer
carefully replaced In refastenlng the lid,
the wrenched iron clamps must be left a'
they were. Now comes the cumming ol
the disrupted outside paper; following which
is an examination of the chest to see thai
there is no aperture from which the aroma
can escape. Any aperture found is closed
There are chests, which denoting higi
grades, have not particle of original tea
returned TO them. Great, indeed, is Tho
metamorphosis, when even superior grades
change appearance and character to suit th'
market, or give way for mixing with othel
grades TO middling or lower.

Food.

The use of food by different persons
should be regulated in quantity or
character, or in both, according to
their ages, their health and Oceupa-
tions, the seasons and the climate in
which they live. Milk is the only per-
feet food for infants. 1t Is the best
food for children and youth up to the
age of sixteen. Old people are weaker
in their digestive powers, partly be-
cause their whole systems are weaker,
and partly because of their diminished
muscular activity. Their food should
be less in quantity than that used by
younger persons, and of easier diges-
ton. In summer and in warm eli
mates less food by one-third is needed,
the tone of the system being lowered,
and persons thus being unable either to
digest or to assimilate as much as in
winter or in colder latitudes. So also
fat, sugar and starch-the latter in
cludes fine flour-being mainly heat
making elements, should be Dut little
used i'm summer and in tropical regions
and largely usedin winter and in cold
climates. Corn-bread, which contains
large per cent. of fat, is better adapt
ed for food in winter than in summer.
Shoemakers, tailors and people of Sc
dentary habits generally need less food,
and food that is more easily digested,
than the farmer and all persons who
work in the open air. Still every body
should have enough of active exercise
to be able to digest generous diet. A
thinker needs good supply Of brain
food, such as is literally furnished in
oatmeal; but he must not use his brain
at the expense Of vigorous muscles, for
it is muscles that have to work not
I only the stomach, but the lungs and
heart. The sick of course need food
carefully adapted to their particular
condition, and those who are not In
full health may greatly help themselves
by rejecting whatever they find inJur'

How 20 Make an Herbarium.

Having seen a query as to the ar
rangement of 4 herbarium- venture
to write few directions on this sub
ject, which / have proved by my own
experience. The first thing to do is to
collect the plants. They should be
carefully dug up with trowel, so as
to preserve the root intact, as, to form
a good specimen, it is necessary to have
the root, leaves, flowers and fruit. 1t
also adds to the value of specimen If
the seeding is shown, the autumn tint
of the leaves; if parasite, the plant on
which it grows, etc. When going on
collecting expedition, it is good plan
to carry few sheets of newspapers in
a portfolio, and to place the plants fiat
between the pages as soon as they are
dug up. If this is not convenient, they
will keep fresh for some time if placed
in a tin case or vasculum. To dry
them, the surest way is TO lay them be-
tween good many sheets OF blotting
or newspaper, with a board at the top
AMI bottom of the pile, and heavy
weight placed on thetop of all. Change
the papers every two or three days, and
take care tr keep the plants quite flat
and with a good many sheets of paper
between them, or the thick stems will
crumble and bend the thinner ones.
The sheets of paper on which to mount
the plants must be rather stout, and of
uniform siZe-sixteen and half
inches by ten and half inches is use
full size: but of course, this must de-
pend OH the taste of the collector.
Botanists differ very much as to the
best method of attaching the speci-
mems to the paper. Some attach them
by means of strips of paper secured
with pins, others gum or glue the spec
linens, others fasten them with gum
med straps of paper, or sew them with
a needle and thread to the paper. The
best plan however, is to combine the
last three methods, and TO secure plants
of medium size, such as the butter
cup, with narrow gummed strips OF
paper; thick, woody plants, such as the
oak, with glue; and such delicate
plants as ferns and grasses should be
tackled to the paper by means of a
needle and thread as much the color of
the specimen as possible. Weak gum
may be used for the large petals of fiow-
ers and for large fiat leaves; but when
It's used the plants must be again laid
under heavy pressure to dry or they
will shrivel. The plan followed in
foreign herbaria, is to lay the plants
between double sheet of paper with
out fastening them to the paper at all.
When managed in this way they are
more easily examined; but the great
disadvantage of this plan is that both
the plants and their labels are very apt
to become inserted in the wrong sheet
among specimens of totally different
species. When fastening the plants TO
the paper they should not all be ar
ranged precisely in the centre OF the
page, but should be fastened more at
the sides, otherwise when the plants
are laid one above the other, the packet
will not be nearly fiat, but will be
higher in the middle than at the sides

a Dinner Supplied bv an Eas.e-

\ veracious gentleman residing near Cen
treville, Md, saws that as his son and HIM
self were sanding near his house, they de
scried three dark objects about the size OF
small birds far'up in the air, circling and
darling hrther and thither. we watched
closely, and after awhile, they approached
more nearly the earth. Wethen discovered
that they were two ducks and bald eagle;
the eagle endeavoring to capture the ducks,
and the ducks exerting themselves to elude
their pursuer Far away in the distance
we could discern the main flock, from which
the two ducks had been separated, flying
steadily to the cover of the forest. The
eagle would pOunce first upon one and then
relinquish it, in order to capture the other
Dropping that, he would return to his first
capture, seemingly like the dog in the fable,
greedy to secure both. This was kept up
for some time, when the eagle, suddenly
darting forward, struck one Of the birds
with his talOns, then swOOping upon the
other struck that too. Thetirst bird fell at
our feet; we had hardly time to pick it up
when the other fell, with the eagle follow
ing. We picked up the second one, and
the eagle observing our presence flew
screaming away. On examination it was
found that the eagle had struck the ducks
on the head, nearly severing the heads from
their bodies. They were fine-sized canvas
hacks. and we had them cooked for dinner.
