The First Sewing Machine in 1ndIn.

In the days when the sewing machine
was in its earliest infancy, a lady resid-
ing in India imported one, and for a long
time kept its mysterious working hid
from the ken of her native tailor. This
functionary was the very slowest of his
proverbial slow "caste," and wasted no
end of time drawing over hem and stitch.
One day his mistress came to him arm
laden with yards upon yards of some
dress fabric: "Dirzie," says she, how
long will it take you to run those
breadths togetherp" Tree day, missis, :"
replies Dirzie. "Missis, please, plenty
too much work" Three days! Nom
sense! Three hours, you mean. You
are very lazy man and I'll cut your
pay. Give me the stuff; I'll do it my
self" Then the lady rctires to her
boudoir, from the inmost penetralia of
which sharp and continuous click and
whirr reach the tailor's ears. He can't
make out what the sound is, and
he is much too lazy to speculate
on 1T. He continues to "chew
betel," and yawningly to ply needle
and thread. After an hour or
two "Missis" comes back, and throw
ing at Mr.. Dirzie's feet the raw material
now fashioned into completed skirt
says: There! See! You wanted three
days, you sleepy fellow, to finish this,
and have done it already" Astonished
Dirzie turns over the drapery, examines
the seams, scrutinizes the stitch, and
satisfies himself that all is proper and ac-
cording to tailors' rule. He is confound-
ed. 1t passes his understanding. There
lies the work done and no mistake. But
how? He springs up from the mat on
which he has been squatting; he kicks
over the little brass vessel which holds
his drinking water; he scatters right and
left thread, needles, thimble; he stops not
to put on his sandals or to adjust loosen
ed turban and waistcloth. Scared and
bewildered, he runs for very life into the
bazaar, shouting as he goes along:
"Shitan shitan! (The evil one the
evil oneD he do tailor business at Mems
house. l listen! l heart He cry Cleek,
cleek, cleekn Two hour time he neber
stop-cry. Den! Plenty too much true

What Happened in August.

The month of August, although less
crowded with battle anniversaries than
June or July, has had an unusually large
share of the worlds greatest events.
On the Sd Columbus sailed from Palos,
in 1902, to discover new world. The
same day, tWenty-seVen years later, saw
an exploit of almost equal daring-the
outset of CorteZ's overland march upon
Mexico. The 4th gave the first blow to
English feudalism by the overthrow of
De Montfort's revolt against Henry Ill,
in 1865. On the 10th, the storming of
the Tuileries, in 1892, consummated. the
triumph of the French revolution. The
18th crushed at one blow the dearbought
supremacy of Louis XIV, by the de-
feat of Blenheim, in l704. The 10th, 18th
and 10th witnessed the great battles of
Vionville and Gravelotte, and the COM
plete surrounding of Metz, in 1870. The
Goth is dOubly memorable to France, as
the anniversary of the greatest defeats
and greatest victories-the battle of
Crecy in 1916, and the commencement of
Napoleon's two days fight before Dres-
den in 1913. On the 28th of August,
1851, Gustavus Adolphus defeated the
Austrians, under Count Tilly, at Leipsic /;
and on the 3lst, Hood evacuated Atlanta
ut the approach of Gen, Sherman, in
1864. But in addition to all these famous
days, this eventful month has witnessed
the execution of the Scottish patriot
William Wallace (I3O5); the establish
ment of the Reformed Church of Scot
land (l560); the outbreak of the Seven
Years War (l756), as well as three of
the greatest battles, Minden, Zorndorf
and Liegnitz (1759-6O); the birth of Sir
Walter Scott O77D; the liberation of
the Christian slaves at Algiers by Lord
Exmouth's bombardment of the place
Q8l6) and Gen. Winfield Scott's Mexican
victories Of Cherubusco and San An

A Vegetable Curiosity.

A remarkable freak of vegetation has
appeared in the grounds of r. b. Tat
man, at Worcester, in the shape of a
potato vine which bears tomatoes. 1t
appears to be mixture of the two vege-
tables, and is accounted for by the fact
that a strong tomato vine from chance
sown seed grew in the same hill with
the potatoes, and the pollen of the two
plants became mixed. fortunately
the vines were pulled up before the pc
culiarity of the growth was noticed.
Some of our agriculturists may derive a
valuable sugge stion from this. AS both
the potato and the tomato are of the
solanac@ family it is not impossible that
one should be fertilized by the other,
and remarkable economy of labor
might be effected if careful and scientific
cultivation should produce plant which
should bear good potatoes at the roots
and good tomatoes on the tops.-Spritlg

After the recent death of Piute chief
in Nevada, an admiring Indian concluded
to kill his own squaw, so that she could
accompany the chief to the happy hunt
ing grounds; but the woman did not
wish to be sacrificed, and so made her es-
cape. The Indian then seized baby,
buried it to the neck in the ground, and
stood guard over it, intending to let it
starve to death. After three days the
child was rescued by white men.
The Transatlantic circus had a lively
day at Leesville, Ind. Some sharpers
who accompany the show, failing in their
attempt to swindle resident with cards,
snatched his money and hid in one of the
tents. Soon afterward one of the women
equestrians stole watch from mans
pocket as she passed through the crowd.
The robbed men fired into the tents with
their revolvers. The showmen retaliated
by seizing three villagers, dragging them
into tent and whipping them soundly
with rawhides. This incensed the crowd,
and general fight ensued, in which four
showmen and one villager were wounded
with bullets.

A Curious Family Dispute:

A curious case, says a Paris paper, has
just been decided at Fontainb beau, where
M and Nine Missiessy appeared in court
to plead against each other for two of
their daughters. 1t appears that this
married couple have seven children
five daughters and two sons-and that
the father had insisted on the three eld-
est daughters becoming nuns. The
mother offered no resistance; but when
it came to depriving her of her two re-
naming daughters, who were also dis
patched to a convent in spite of her en-
treaties and delicate health, she appealed
to the secular arm. The court endeav-
Ored to shake the determination of the
husband, but he remained infexible, de-
claring that voice from above had
called upon him to submit, and that his
daughters should remain where they
are. The court of Fontainbleau took a
middle course, and decided that the two
young ladies in question should be re
leased from the cloistered convent in
which they have been imprisoned, and
sent to the celebrated Convent of the
Oiseaux in Paris, which is not cloistered,
and where they will be able to receive
the visits of their parents.

but she found out what kind, good, de-
voted husband she had in those weary,
trying weeks of pain.
When at last. there came day when
she could again be daintily dressed in
becoming ribbons, and when once more
crimps and curls were part of life, it
was a great day for them.
We were married last year, Polly"
says John, looking at her admiringly.
" Here it is the middle of a new Janu-
ary. We've been man and wife five
long weeks Quite an old couple, aren't

Polly put her hand in his
You have never kissed me yet,

"I'll do it now" And she put her

Hel hei what fun" came giggling
from the half-open door, and Dick
dashed off down stairs.
Patsy and Kitty came rushing up to
see what could the matter be, and as
Kitty reported, "Polly just up and kissed
her husband as bold as lion before them
all, D." though her face was as pink as the
rose on her breast, and John Cary was
blushing like girl
And though when Polly got well and
strong enough she gave Dick a good
shaking, she thanked him all the same in
the bottom of her heart, and they both
petted and made much of the boy, till
Patsy and Kitty declared he was on the
high road to ruin.
But John proving n good husband,
Polly was right. Marrying a man is
like eating mushrooms. If you die they
were toadetools, if you live they were
mushrooms. If man beats you he is
toadstool; if not, be sure he is some
kind of mushroom, for which be
thankful.

A Shark in Strange waters.

Two or three boating parties had n
good deal of fun with shark that strayed
into the Baltimore harbor q short time
ago. He was a regular man-eater of tine
Southern seas, and twice came near prov
ing it before he got through with the
boys. A picnic party saw him swimming
up with his back fin out of water, and
now and then stopping to pick up stray
bits by the way. They threw their lunch
to him piece by piece, and watched him
deVour it with evident relish. He finally
became so tame as to come nOsing around
the boat, and one of the party attempted
to harpoOn him with a boat-hOok. In
doing so he lost his balance and fell
overheard. He was soon dragged in by
his companions, and not to soon, either,
for Just as his last leg was leaving the
water the shark was at the spot and his
great Jaws were heard to snap at the hole
in the water which the retreating leg
left. BY this time the party had got
enough of playing with shark, and, hav-
ing disposed of all their lunch, went on
to picnic on memories of the big fish and
hungry stomachs. The shark continued
his way up the harbOr, apparently oman
exploring expedition, and another boat
ing party of boys and girls met him.
One boy was swinging his feet over the
side of the boat in the water. The fish
seized one of the feet, snapped off n toe
and lacerated others That was enough
of shark for that boating patry, and the
terrified boys rowed the screaming girls
into port without any further fishing eX-
perience. The shark was afterward seen
by divers others who were swimming
on the beaches, but they did not attract
his attention, and he tried no issue with
them. The last seen of the monster, so
far out OF his latitude, he was following
a tug down the bay, and would probably
find his way out to sea and back home.

At the Gate.

Tho golden hush Of the morning lies
Der smiling river and bending skies;
While Ger the meadow the sweet winds sigh,
And breaths of fragrance blow far and nigh,
And the tide flows by.
A boy stands under the oak tree tall,
At the old gray gate by the orchard wall;
lie looks far away where the blue sea smiles,
Wondering where lie the Fortunate Isles,
And the tide flows by.
A youth and n maiden pause and wait
In the sunset light at he old gray gate;
They silently gaze in each others eyes
And dream of the rapture of Paradise,
And the tide flows by.
Beside the gate stands careworn man,
Meath wintry moonlight, faint and wan;
He looks FAR away toward the cold, gray sea,
With II sigh for the days that were once TO be,
And the tide flows by.
An old man stands b. the moss-grown gate,
Sorrowing, weary and desolate;
The starlight CLEANS DER distant grave,
And over it softly the yew trees wave,
And the tide flows by, .
Through the old gray gate, toward the shining
west,
They have borne the weary one to his rest;
The new day breaks and the shadows fee,
The tide of the river flows fast and free
Far out to sea-

lay in grief,
And Hope drew near to where tossed alone
Without reliet,
And paused moment when she heard that
moan;
Then raised her glowing eyes and met mine
own.
Never a word she said
Yet still gazed and still was comiorted.
Then bending low with wond'rous gra
She laid her hand upon my eyes,
Her cool hand on my burning face,
And at her touch bright visions rise,
Fresh woods and streams and unimagined
skies.
In softest tone
She sang the song that has no close
That deathless song which no one knows
Save she alone;
The song that leaves no memory,
The song of endless victory
And future love;
And as l listened to the voice above,
felt as one returning from the dead.
Slowly I rose and raised my dropping head.
