The Troublesome Gas Bill.

The bills of gas company have puzzled more brains than the mysteries of the kitchen. A New York man having nothing to do the other day amused himself by looking over his gas bills for the past eighteen months. Some of the results of his investigations were so curious that he could not help submitting them for the inspection of the public. In 1879 when his gas bill was $2. 50 per 1000 feet the bills were as follows: January, $8. .33 ;s.February, $8.77; March, $9 33; April, $9.32; Total $33.75.
 For the same months in 1880 when gas was $1.50 per 1000 feet the bills were as follows: January, $S. 10 February, $9.S5; March, $8.55; April, $7.SO; Total $33 80.
 Now, ad ds the writer, here are gas bills so nicely calculated that the generous Gas company loses only forty five cents in four months by it's reduction of rates More than that, the bills are so 1m- partially divided that for the month of January, when the days are almost at the shortest, being only about ten hours long, we have the same amount charged as for April, when we have about thirteen hours daylight. Another peculiarity worth remarking is that the bills for February, with its twenty-eight days, are always as generally larger than for other months having thirty or thirty-one days AS have had, during all this time, the same members in my household, have occupied the same number of rooms, and kept the same hours, the riddle becomes insoluble.

A Fricassee and a Fortune.

An out-of-the-way little town between St. Petersburg and Moscow, called Torjeck, once enjoyed on extraordinary reputation for it's fricassee of chicken. It was gained in this wise: An unfortu- nate Frenchman, quite out-of-elbows, once passed night at the one little auberge which the place then boasted. He was hospitably received and kindly treated, and, before setting out again on his journey, he said to his hostess, " l cannot pay your bill, but l will make your fortune." Thereupon he showed her how to send up fricassee of chicken in the French fashion.
 The aubergiste had hardly made her. self acquainted with the Frenchman's secret when the Emperor Nicholas chanced to pass that way. He, too, stayed the night at the same little au6erge, and to his great astonishment, the table was graced with dish which would have done credit to the then famous Trois Freres. He praised the fricassee, the great mans praise was repeated far and wide, so that the repu, tation of Torieck was made once and fol all; and, long after the Frenchman's apt pupil was gathered to the place where good oubergistes go, the glory o1 the little au6erge still shone.

Falling Into a Bed of Snakes.

Jacob Terwilliger, farmer in the Shawangunk Mountains, New York, tells of desperate encounter he had few days ago with rattlesnakes. A large part of Terwilliger's farm is planted with apple trees, and it was while gath ering apples that he discovered the snakes. In the middle of the orchard lay an old log. Terwilliger mounted the log, but in leaning over to grasp limb he lost his balance, and the log rolled over, throwing him to the ground. He fell on his side directly in the track of the log, and in the very centre of that track was bed of rattlesnakes. More than one of the snakes attacked him be- fore he regained his feet, and one was fastened in his clothing. His twelve year-old son, who was near, was of little help, but Terwilliger got 8 rough stick and attacked the snakes. Many of the snakes showed fight, and one big one bit ono of Terwilliger's hands. But Terwilliger, in less than an hour, killed eight rattlesnakes, the largest measur- ing five feet, and having seventeen rat ties.
 Terwilliger still exhibits two scars on his hands. He said he lost some blood from the wounds, and hurried home, but he lost consciousness as he reached the farmhouse door, and fell forward. His wife took him in.
 "But, by gracious, I thought was all done for," said he, but my wife dosed me up and I come out all right.

An Officers Detection.

Another story Illustrative of the ec- centricities for which Russian military officers of late years have rendered themselves notorious comes from St. Petersburg. Recently a lady of rank was travelling on the Fastova line of railway in first class compartment, the only other occupant of which was an elderly cavalry Captain, with whom she casually entered into conversation. Arrived at the Ustinovka station, she summoned gendarme to the window of her carriage and informed him that she missed hundred and sixty roubles from her handbag, and suspected her travelling companion of having stolen them. A few minutes previously she had requested him to take her ticket out of the bag, which he had done and since that she had discovered her loss. Search was forthwith instituted upon the Captains person for the missing money, and hundred-rouble note was found thrust into one of his boots. Nc sooner had this evidence of his guilt been brought to light than he produced 8 small parcel of bank notes from his pocket, with the remark, ''As you have got the hundred roubles, I may as vel give you the other sixty" Directly after he had spoken these words, h, drew revolver from the breast pocke of his coat, set its muzzle against hi' right temple, and blew his brains out Insensible to the dishonor of theft, tha of detection seemed to him so insuppor table that, rather than endure it, h, killed himself.

Landlords in Mail.
HOW THE IRISH LANDLORDS ARE PROTECT ING THEMSELVES FROM PISTOL SHOTS.

A Dublin correspondent sends the following II have just had the melan- choly pleasure of seeing at Pail Mall armorer's establishment some steel coats which have been ordered by several Irish landlords. It may be taken as a fact established by repeated tests that it is impossible to make coat of armor or shirt of mail light enough to be worn by men of ordinary strength that will withstand rife bullet striking the per son squarely. An arrangement like that of Kelly, the Australian bushranger, is, of course, an article of no sort of use, being hideous to the sight and cumber- some. But it is possible to make steel coat that will withstand the revolver bullet, which in itself is considerable step in advance. The coat of mail will not even do this, and experiment. has proved that not only will 8 revolver bull let penetrate coat of chain mail, but it will carry some of the steel rings along with it and aggravate the danger and painfulness of the wound. The coats I saw will prevent the penetration by any revolver bullet at ten paces and will cause rifle bullet to glance if 1t does not strike squa1ely. To the outward view these coats are ordinary English shooting jackets, and no one seeing it upon another person would imagine for moment that there was defensive ar nor underneath. First, it is Scotch tweed, then 8 thin wadding of cotton next a layer of narrow thin bands of tempered steel, kept in place much as whalebone is put into corsets, only the steel bands are very close together, be- ing sewed into fine canvas and with sim ply line of stitching between each piece. Three thicknesses of these steel bands, sewed into canvas the same way
 comprise the sole armor in the coat l Another piece of wadding is placed be
 tween the bands and the final lining anG the coat is complete. The steel band. are not long, so that the coat does no
 look stiff, but hangs naturally about thu
 figure. The weight of the coat, whel
 lifted, seems very heavy; but when worl
 the weight is distributed, and, fallin!
 mainly on the shoulders, does not incon
 venience the wearer at all. I saw sev eral large revolver bullets fired into it a ten or eleven paces, but they only mad slight dents in the steel. The onl merit claimed for the coat, however, i
 that it diminishes the chances of fate wound in the body from any weapon The arms are not protected, and tn

t.ov i'm n Stock of Vixor

Bodily decay is greatly hastened by causes scarcely perceptiblein the beginning, but which prey upon and undermine tho constitution pro portionately to the degree of neglect with which they are disreSarded. A diminution of vital energy, the proximate causeof which IS failing of digestive power, is dangerously subv.. rsive of regularity in every function of the body. To lay in a stock of vigor is the only philo- sophie way to restore health on a permanent basis. The Nations favorite tonic Hostetter s Stomach Btters, is specially adapted to the use of debilitated invalids, whose stomach fails in duty, or whose liver or bowels are in active. A steadily pursued course of this regulating in vigorant pro tects those wise enough 10 adopt 1t from the consequences sure to ensue from dis regard of tho causes of failing strength. The Bitters, moreover, not only enriches the blood, but purifies it.
