New York LesDer 10 IN er-Occti. ..
Vest srday met a young lady just from
California, and fresh In It's gossip. Speak
ing Of Ulysses Grant, Jr. and Miss Flood,
of millionaire-father fame, she said:
"well, I won't say they are going to be
married but they certainly have achieved
the first and most important step, that Of
falling in leve, and, indeed Qaughing),
was witness to the process" E4l',t"
b Yoa see, it happened at picnic given
when the ex.President was in Frisco, and
a very jolly affairlit was one Of those oc-
casions when gr~sn pickles and sentiment
get sadly mixed. In the course Of the af-
tsrnc N Miss Floyi, like most young laiies
on such occasions, was seized with vio-
lent affection for the flowers Of her native
land but, not feeling equal to cullipg the
81 ,cimens by herself, invited young Grant
to 60 botanizing with her. As they wan
dered by the brookside ana discussed the
poetical definitions OF different flowers, the
young lady happened to espy a cluster of
the glowing wild geranium, especially
ad ,pted to her complexion, but, nnluckily
grow ing on the wrong side Of the stream.
This trifie, however, could noe daunt the
young Ulysses, and boldly be isapt the
turbid stream. By all tho rights of ro-
nance he should ha0e fallen 10, and, the
wicked tide swept him away, flung the
c,veted flowers at the feet Of the cruel one
as he murmured watery farewell. 0.a us p
In this case, however, the gallant youth
having overcome, or rather overstrade the
opposing element, grasp, the bright bios T
SONS his manly hand, and was about 70
return, when his knigthly eye caught In
the tolls of beautiful and luxuriaut vine.
which, quick ~ thought, he proceeded to
b, eak off and add to the ipprompta bequet,
but, alack aday, he olasped viper to his
heart aud it stung him. ~. III goiuJ ai
To speak more plainly, the green and
graceful vine was nothing less than the
bausful poison ivy, which rudely torn of,
revenged itself by sprinkliug the face OF
its fell destroyer with its veugeful sap, and,
in consequence, by the time the young gen.
,lsman recrossod the stream, he felt as II
life was made up Of mosquitos, and tue
only comfort in such case, profar'ty, de-
MED him. aa haares Hs se as aasrfa5t haFi
A flood of tears did NOT console him, but
luckily an old lady with an infall,b'e salvep
in her pocket did. That 10 to say. she dor
mated the salye and Miss Flood her SER
vices. aud, as these services consisted in
the application of the soothing compound
will, the tips Of five small fingers, theacon-
sequence was evident, and g the salve
smoothed away the wrinkles from the akin
of the suffering Ulysses. IL Is suppose that
the sentiment was stricken in, 30 to speak
It is more often, concludes my informant,
that love loads to poison, but In this case
poison led to love. aa rssa eEgr sgsgu

From the Little Rock lark. ! Gazette

From the Little Rock tArk Gazette.
Several days ago, Mr.. J. McCloud, of
Faulkner county, died Of rheumatism. A
large party volunteered TO SIT up with the
corpse, and when night came many sad
faces were seen, sallow by the mellowing
light of tallew candles. Tie minister
came, and ent ,ring the room remarked:
earth to earth and ashes to ashes" The
corpse lay on table, covered with sheet.
Thought saw the sheet move" said
one OF the watchers. "See IL there is a
cat under it," #'s' 'r g a..'t
The company sat still.
az am confident that the sheet moved"
said the man. r..a. So. ..-rs,,--+rs.. r-..,.-
The minister arose and lifted the sheet,
and, standing, he looked at the pallid face
of the dead man. The corpse's head left
the table. The minister fell back. Stiff,
stark and tsrrible the corpse slowly arose
from the the table and attained sitting
posture. The legs remained stretched out
aud the arms remained folded. The women
shrieked and Ian from the room, and the
minister repiimanding them for their weak
ness and want OF confidence, climbed q
fence aud stood In turnip patch. When
the frightened people saw that the corpse
did not intend to follow, they went back
into the house. Tho corpse still retained
the upright, rigid posture, stiff as the a!ti-
tude struck by an amateur on toe stage. \
With fears somewhat allayed the minister
advanced, and placing hand on the dead
mans breast pressed him backward. Pro-
portionately az his head went cowa his
heels came up, aud when his head touched
the board. his heels wore high in the air.
The cause of the dead mans freak Was
then discovered. The muscles Of the
stomach, distorted by rheumatism were
contracting. II required the efforts Of TWO
men TO straignten the corpse.

Lu.iINous PAINT.
HOW INTERIOR APARTMENTS ARE TO BE
ILLUMJNATED.
London Echo.

London Echo.
The luminous paint which we described
some time ago has at last been Intro iuced
into commerce, and, if report speaks truly,
has been tried by the Admiralty. 1t is
simply modification Of very old dlscov-
cry, which was known at time Of its il
yent,on and since as "Canton's Phosphor-
u.s." Sulphids Of calcium, In common
with some other substances, possesses .a
remarkable power of absorbing light, and
of subsequently glowing with pale pho
phorescence for some hours afterwards.
Until the advent of illuminated clock-dials
no use seems to have been made of this
pror ,rty, but latterly several patents have
been taken out for improvements, 80 call,
cd, on the old laboratory methods, and now
We are informed that go conservative
body as the Admiralty, having tried some
experiments at Whitehall, have given
orders 10 paint the walls of powder maga-
zines on board ships with the new luminous
paint, which Is being introduced by COM
pany. The phenomena is well known to sci-
entific men, and though doubtless since
Csuton's discovery considerable improve.
ments have been made on the discovery the
modern methods are based on the discov-
cry which bears his namo. When writing
on this subject some time ago We hinted at
the possibility of walls OF rooms being
painted with the phosphorescing com
pound IN order to obtain light when dark
ness supervened. The Admiralty have or-
dsred two compartments OF the Comus to
be painted with it, and are apparently un-
der the impression that it is practically ev-
erlasting. The fact IL that 1t can only give
up percentage of the light which it has
absorbed, and consequently II used IN the
holds Of ships it must be charged BY
means Of the electric or the magnesium
light, but in rooms that can be exposed 70
the sun or to ordinary diffused daylight the
now Luminous varnish may be Of some eco
nom;cal utility. The first recorded discov-
cry OF phosrhorescencs after insolutson
dates from 1904. X

THE NORTH STAR.

Can the north star be seen in the south
ern hemisphere as far south as Che Arctic
region? If not, is there fixed star used
as guide there?
Ans.-No, the north star cannot be seen
south of the equator. There is fixed star
near the south pole, which is sometimes
used, but it is not SO directly over the south
pole as the north star is over the north pole.
There are number Of stars in the northern
hemisphere, whose distance being regular
ly known from the north star, are used by
mariners to ascertain the latitude which
they are in, the difference between the stars
being added to the altitude Of the chosen
star. -.. .t. .

TRIBEs oF INDIANS.

1. How many tribes of Indians in the
United States? 2. How many tribes in the
United States at the time of the first settle
ment of the whites In this country? 3. How
many tribes In North and South Americs
from the first settlement Of the whites TO
the present timer ms
Ana-1. There are at the present time
about 100 principal tritss. Some of these
are subdiv,ded 80 that it is impossible TO
get at the total number Of divisions. ..
This can only be estimated by the number
Of different dial cts. The Jesuit mission.
aries place tho number at about 800. 8. On
the supposition that those Of the same Ian
puage were united together In one tribe,
which is q natural and res sonable sugges-
tion, there were not less than 500 tribes,
while Garcia has cited authority to prove
that there were not less than 5000 langua-
pes in North America. All these tribes
coming from one common origin, IL may Be
readily understood whore the dlfhculty Of
classification arises. 1t Ii estimated that
there are between 1900 and 1000 languages
and dialect, in South America, and ey the
same reasoning there would b CORES
ponding number Of tribes. There are 81 pat
i, 900, 600 Indians in South America.

EARLIEST PIANOS.

When and where was the first piano
made, and how would it compare with the
present ?
Ans.-The first piano was made some
time in the 18th century, and appears to
have been only transition from the dnlci-
mer, and consisted Of an oblong box, hold
ing series of strings in triangular form,
struck by quill attached to the keys.
During the next six centuries the clavichord
was IN use. The change In this to some
thing like its present form took place about
15O years ago. 1t is hardly clear who In.
vented the piano, but perhaps the best au-
thority claims Christofali, Of Padua (l7l1),
as the rightful man. They were very crude
and imperfect in comparison with the hand
somely finished and p,rlect toned ones OF
to-day. ..
