Old Bazembee Makes a Reputation.

Old Bazambee had returned from the
club the other evening, when as he hung
up his overcoat on the hall hat-rack and
prepared to go up stairs, he heard such
strangely excited voices in the front
parlor that he paused to listen.
A voice that he recognized at once as
belonging to hat fast looking Young
Snyder he had warned Maria to be care
full about, said contemrtuously:
"Peace, woman, and weary me no
longer with your ~reproaches. [ tell YOU
the day of my wedding with Alice Mon
tressor is fixed, and by heavens, nothing
shall prevent our union y
Could these words be addressed to his
wi daughter Yes, it was indeed
Maria's ~sob-chCked tones that replied:
"This then, is the reward for my sac
ri6oe, my devotion. Ruined and for
sakcn, you taunt me with your latest
conquest. Monster, coward !"
1t only required a few seconds for
Bazembee to rush up stairs and get his
shotgun out of the closet. The next
moment he burst inso the parlor with
blazing eyes, and, hurting the black
hearted betrayer to the floor he placed
the muzz]e Of his breeo1loader az his
temple, Kissing:
"Villain, sweac to NE that YOU will

"Hooray p shouted Snyder, sitting w
clapping his hands. 'That is way up.

"Beautifui papa. Encore Encore !!

"You bet I" replied Bobby, se~rvently.

Then NJ. Ba7embee coughed and
wiped his forehead, and mumbled about
his having seen a deal of that sort of
thing when he was youi.g,and that Maria
must be sure to take in the mat when
her young friend had gone,and then went
up TO bed and dreamed that he was play
ing an outraged community to crowded
houses all night.

That is a very peculiar number. The

Add the following considerations be-
tote you press an answer: Those who
have cultivated the occult sciences have
always held the number 9 to be pos.
sessed of great significance. Those who
made a study of the numerical symbol
ism Of the Scriptures have regarded the
number 9 as equally significant. 1t is

creaturely completeness" says Doctor
Mahan. And he adds: at is q factor
of all great dates of judgment, viz, of

A Faithful Dog.

A short time ago the engineer of a
train near Montreal saw a large dog on
the track, barking ~furiously. The en-
gineer whistled, but the dog paid no at
tention to the noise, and refused to stir.
The dog was run over and killed. The
engineer observed that the animal
crouched close to the ground as he was
struck by the cowcatcher. A minute
later the fireman saw a bit Of white
muslin fiuttering on the locomotive, and
he stopped the engine. On going back
to where the Cog was killed it was dis
covered that not only the dog, but a lit
tie child had beeu killed. 1t was then
seen that the dog had been standing
guard over the child and had barked to
attract the attention of the engineer.
T~hetfaithful animal had sacrificed his
hfeifHther than desert his charge. The

Religion Of the Dakota Indians.

Their idea of the spirit land is, that
it is a physical paradise, but we enter
upon It's mysteries Just in the condition
we hold when we die. In the Indians
paradise every physical taste or longing
is promptly met. If he wants food it
is at hand, water springs up for ready
use, ponies and game abound; blossoms,
leaves and fruit never fail; all is peren-
nial and perpetual. But what is the
Indian hell? 1t is the same in place
and profusion of mercies, but the bad
connot partake. Like Dives, who saw,
craved and painted for relief, he cannot
enjoy. In the light of this idea we see
the reason of the systematic mutilations
practised by the Indians on their slain
enemies. 1t is to incapacitate their foes
tor enjoying the delights of the "Happy
Hunting Ground" With the muscles
of the arms cut out, the victim could
not pull a bowstring or trigger; with
other muscles gone he could not ride in
a stirrup or stoop to drink; so that while
every sense was in agony for relief from
hunger or thirst, there could be no Ie.
lief at all. The red man does not have
the moral sense which would argue that
every vice is Gripping the moral and
mental muscle, so hat every fault leaves
man less perfect for beginning a grand
career beyond the grave. But the germ
thought is in his mind, and the white
man can give it better force and activity
if he will care half as well for him as he
does for Hottentots, Asiat-cs and
strangers of the South Pacific isles. Be

is full of strange farcies. Their dread

Uncle Joshway's Thermometer.

The Colonel, Aunt Anarky, Phrony
and Blazy Ann, were all gloomily con-
templating Uncle Jcshway's new pur-
chase, a thermometer, that hung OH a
conspicuous place on the wall, just above
the peg where Aunt A~narky's white
Sunday sun-bonnet spreads it's rufied
wings, and just below an exquisite, rain
bow-hued, warranted fast c%olors, The
Belle of New York"
Notwithstanding all these smile.in.
spiriHg surroundings, the family gazed
sadly at the thermometer. They were
disappointed. 1t was a failure.
Den fggers is up too high" said the
Colonel, thoughtfuliy. "Dat fermome-

INGENIOUS SpARRows.-A man in In.
diana recently had a chance to observe
the ingenuity of sparrows which were
seeking a drink Of clear water. The
clear water was too far away from the
swampy margin Of the bank of a stream
to allow them to reach it readily, but
weeds grew thickly along the edge. Four
sparrows settled on one Of these weeds,
one above the other, and their weight
bent It over halfway to the water. A
fifth lighted further up and bent it
further down. Then a sixth settled
near the end and the whole stalk came
down level with tie surface, and they
drank their fill without any difficulty
or having to wade through the muddy
margin of the pond.

Diving for Fish.

Every time that a steamer anchors at
Alden numbers OF little boys swim round
the vessel, and dive for the coin pitched
to them in the water by passengers.
Their skill is undoubtedly great, but the
fishermen of the Nicobars, and a few
among the Sea Dvaks of Borneo, are re-
puted the most skillful swimmers in the
world. The men of the Nicobars cap
ture fish by the hand. They glide
about in their light skifs, intently
watching the translucent waters; when
they obtain a favorable opportunity,
they take a sudden dive straight down
upon their tinny prey. The fish are
generally so startled that they dart
hither and thither, now up and now
down, without continuing their swift
movements in any one givei. direction.
The diver has therefore little difficulty
in coming within an arms length of
them. 1t is, however, esteemed to be
but a poor feat to seize and bring up
one fish. A man should be able to
catch simultaneously two fsh-one in
each hand. This is frequently done,
and the best swimmers think nothing Of
it. II a man wishes to show his PROV
ess in tie water, he chases and kills a
shark-often twice as long as himself.
To many of the fishermen of the coast of
Neither Iddia, shark-hunting in the
water, is somewhat like what fox-hunt-
Ing is in England.

Took His WORD FOR IT.-A con
sumptive looking man, lame and feeble,
and carrying a pint bottle full of some
thing, hailed a pedestrian on Bates street
yesterday, and said:
81 found this bottle On the corner
back there, and l wish you'd tell me
what is in it."
The otter took it, removed the cork,
and snuffed in a whole breath. The
next instant he staggered against the
wall, clawing the air, and choking and
gasping, and it was a full minute before
he blurted out:
"Why, you internal idiot, that's harts-
horn!'
"Well, I'm perfectly willing to take
your word for 1t without extra insults"
observed tue invalid in an injured voice,
and he took his bottle and walked of
like a man who had been abused with
out the least excuse

What Wives are Worth

The value OF wives varies il different
countries. In America they are often
expensive companions, but In the higher
regions of the river Amar, and on the
Ussuri, in Siberia, according 20 inforna-
ton furnished to the British Scientific
Ass- ra.ioa by the Reverend Henry
LandSc'l, the price of a wife is eight or
ten dogs, a sledge or two cases Of brandy.
In another part Of the world, according
to evidence furnished to the same asso-
citation by Wilfred Powell, in New
Britain and the neighboring islands of
the South Pacific, on the east coast of
Guinea the wives are the absolute prop
erty of their husbands, and are bought,
sold and eaten ov their better halves.
There was one New Britain young
women who rebelled at her matrimonial
relations, whereupon her husband said
he could put her to better use, and
straightway killed and ate her. Unfor-
tunately, according to the same autor-
ity, the eating in New Britain is not
confined to wives. The natives are fond
of missionary meat, and think the En-
glish are unutterably stupid because
they are unwilling to feast on such a
delicacy. as the human thigh, prepared
with cocoanut milk and dressed with
banana leaves. MI. Powell does not
advise women to emigrate to New
Britain.
