HoLLERIN' DOES THE BUSINESS "--They
we're holding an outdoor ward meeting the
other night in Detroit, Michigan, and speak
er had just commenced to warm up to his
work when stranger with all his worldly
"duds +" in an old sheepskin on his back,
boots gone, hat going and dye-in-the-wool
tramp air about him, halted on she outskirts
of the crowd The speech soon caught him
and he began to applaud. At the end of ev-
cry sentence he clapped his hands and reared
like fog horn. No matter whether the speak
shit 'em y or not the speaker never failed to
come down with the applause, and he carried
a good share of the crowd with him. After
the speaker had finished, and while he was
wiping his heated brow, the tramp approach
ed him and said
"That ERE speech was one of the best
ever heard in my life."
"Ah I'm glad 1t pleased YOU"
"Pleased me Why it lifted me right Off n
my feet +! tell you, you're born orator,
and just wish / could stay in this town and
hear you make speech every night"
Yes, wish you could"
.But shan't, I'm on my way West. |

put in my best ticks you'd have fallen as flat
as shinge You are great orator, sir,
and that was great speech, but If you don't
know that hollerin' is what does the business,
you'd better hang right up"
The orator pondered over the matter fol
few seconds, and then probably concluded
that the reasoning was sound, as he passed
over the money.

TALK on MENAG-

How are menageries made, Mr.. Barn

The great menagerie furnisher Of the
world is Carl Haggenbeck, of Hamburg. He

South American serpents from him than to
get them in Brazil"
How does he obtain them pa
From his agents. He has a dozen active
agents in Asia, Africa, Australia and South
America all the while. But even they don't
catch the animals. The young wild animals
are caught by the natives in different locali-
ties. They catch the young ones and bring
them up, and sell them whenever the agents
come around"
"Then showmen seldom catch their own
wild animals P"
"Oh, never have come about as near II
as anybody, for I really have an agent, Keel

America, and buys whatever want that can

Learn Something new every day.
Put salt in the water In which eggs are
poached.
A pretty house plant is a lemon tree, easily
grown from seed, and some of the leaves can
be used for havoring. A few tied in cloth
and dropped in apples (for sauoe) while cook
ing impart pleasant flavor
Be cheerful Il ia good Cor yourself as weii
as others.
Sixteen large tablespoonfuls are one pint.
Use aqua ammonia for the stings of bees.
Now is the time for gathering ferns to press,
oats, many kinds Of grasses, and treasures
of the wild wood, all Of which are useful for
decorating our homes when chilly Winter
comes.
Forty drops are equal to one teaspoonful,
and four teaspoonsful are equal to one table
spoonful
Occasionally do some pretty piece Of fancy
work.
Dipper gourds make excellent things to
keep saltin for kitchen use. Cut hole in
the side large enough to admit the hand and
to remove The seed also cut small hole In
the handle to hang up by.
Strain meat fryings through a thin cloth
keep in cool place, and you have a cheap
shortening for everyday /" pastry.
Keep blank book with thick cover in
the kitchen, and copy any bits of information
that may likely be of use at some time. Be
sure aud write in large, clear hand.
Take day and your family into the g heart
Of the wild wood, and picnic in the old time
way, and you may be sure the day eannot be
counted LOST
A spoonful of stewed tomatoes In the gravy
of either roasted or fried meats is an advan-
tage.
To keep lemons fresh, place them in jar

To remove grease from wall paper, lay sew
eral folds of blotting paper on the spot and
hold hot iron near 1t until the grease is alb
sorbed.
Pat cor two red peppers, oss-f ew- pieces

Those who object to tea leaves for sweeping
the carpets can use freshly cut grass instead.
1t answers the same purpose for preventing
dust, and gives the carpet fresh, bright look.
Sick headache can often be greatly relieved,
and sometimes entirely cured by the applica-
tion of mustard plaster at the base of the
neck. The plaster should not be kept on
more than quarter Of an hour.

POETRY.
THE GREAT VICTORIES.

In the trials to be suffered
In the fellowship of care,
IT'S the hidden, inward struggle
That will prove the worst TO bear.
IT'S the strife that no man pities,
IT'S the cry that no man hears,
IT'S the victory unpmaned
But BY secret sobs and tears.
All my friend, when Gods great angel
Cries aloud the deeds of might,
All the day, when hearts are opened
In the Holy Fathers sight.
Then the greatest deeds and noblest
VIII be those unheard of now,
Hidden under silent heart beats
And an accomplishing brow.
Deeds of patient self-rejection,
Wrung from hearts that make no moan;
Tender hearts that, like the Masters,
Trod the wine-press all alone"
Hearts that purer grew and fafrer,
In the struggle, day by day;
Learning thus from holy teachers
How to suffer and TO pray.

M'CANN'S ESCAPE.

On a Second Trial of the Once Famous
Case He Secures q Verdict of Not Guilty
Who Stole the Sugar?
CHEYENNE, Dec. 5.-The celebrated case
of the United States against D. J. MoCann
ended last night by acquittal of the defend
ant. The McCann case dates back to 1876,
when it was alleged he embezzled fftyrtwo
barrels of sugar destined forB lackfo foot agency.
Secretary Schurz had McCann indicted in
1877 in the district court here, and per
sonally attended to securing evidence for the
prosecution; and it is charged
Schurz visited the chief Justice
at his residence to influence him for the gov
eminent before the trial. McCann was con-
victed in 1873. Certain important evidence
being ruled out he applied for new
trial, which was refused. In 1873 MeConn
was sentenced to the penitentiary, but APP
pealed to the supreme court Of Wyoming
and gave bonds. The supreme court in
March, 1880, reversed the ruling of the
court below and ordered q new trial, which
ended at - O'Clock last night. The jury
was out but fifteen minutes. Among the
witnesses for the government was Gen.
Smith, former commissioner of Indian
affairs, now consul general to Canada, and
several army officers and employees of the in
terror department.. The verdict is univer
sally commended.

deemed impossible. A three and after an
