A Curious Decision.

A Man Wnv is to DO Hung on Account of Ono
Word,
Some time ago, Nathan Jones, n col
ored man in whose general character
there was a lack Of laudabIe ambition,
was arragned before Little Rock JUS
tice and fined. Jones went down in the
country, became n leader among the ne
groes and was elected justice Of the
peace. The other day, Squire Gilwig,
before whom Jones had been arraigned,
and whom the waves of politics had sub
merged, went down into Jones neigh
borhood, drank bad whisky and killed
man. He was arrested and taken be-
fore Judge Jones for examination.

THE PRETZEL.

This delicious fruit grows best in the
shade, the shade Of q beer garden being pre-
ferred. It is ripe at birth, and is ready to
eat as soon as it is picked. In North Ger
many, where the benighted people do not
know any better, the pretzel Is called
"kringle." This is enough to spoil the
pretzel, only that is impossible.
The pretzel is always planted on free lunch
counters. There is more nutrition in barrel
of sawdnst than there is in a clothes-basket
full of pretzels. But then the pretzel is
much the dryer of the two. The genuine
pretzel has heart like a marble yard, and
the hide is vanished to keep it dry. 1t is
vanished with hot I've and sprinkled with
anise-seed to give it tone.
Before it assumes tho expression so famil-
lar to the lovers of this perennial fruit, the
pretzel is about the size of q garter snake.
After it is tied up in that intricate knot which
makes the eater wonder where TO take his
first bite, no man can guess at its length
Enough is known, however, to warrant SCI
entifc authorities in saying that if man
should swallow pretzel whole, and it should
suddenly straighten out in him, it would kill
him in minute. II is not possible, how
ever, for man to eat pretzel whole You
can eat all the rest of it, but while there is
more hole than pretzel to begin with, yet the
more you eat the pretzel the more hole there
is left.
The pretzel is eaten. Why, nobody seems
TO understand. When first introduced in
this country the hackmen used them for
snaffie rings, but by and by the people got
to eating them, and it has been popular
custom ever since. The soberer man is
the fewer pretzels he eats, and con-
versely---
The market value Of the pretzel is 100 for
dollar They got started at this and have
never varied from it very much. As an article
of food it isn't worth quite 80 much as that ;
probably not by $50.
After q man has lost all his teeth, 1t is q
hollow mockery, whitening sarcasm, and
an ineffaceable stain upon the name OF
hospitality to offer him pretzel. Hurting
ton Hasokeye.

RAPID BooK-MAKfNC.

In these days competition between book
publishers sometimes leads to rapid book
making. A prominent New York firm of
book publishers that sends thousands of its
books to be done in this city, received by
the European mail on Tuesday morning an
English publication chitdesiredt to "rush"
through the press. A member of the firm
arrived here on Tuesday at 2 p. m. and de-
livered the copy of the volume, which was
one of 240 pages, 32mo., TO his printer. By
8 p. M. they had received the particular font
of type in which it was TO be set By
p. IN. the type was distributed and the COM
positors began. The 240 pages were all set
by noon on Wednesday, revised and correct
ed by p. m. and 1900 complete copies
were printed by 10 o'clock that evening, at
which hour the sheets were ready for the
binder. Fifteen hundred cases were made
on Wednesday by the binder, and at nine
o'clock Thursday morning the entire edition
shipped to Now York and placed ON sale,
and Friday the book was on sale in fifty
cities of the Union.-PAiladelpiio Record

SUGAR IN BEETS,

The most vital point of the beftroot
grower is the quality of the seed he uses.
When beets were first grown for sugar five
per cent. Of sugar was the amount obtained,
now fifteen per cent. is obtainable in favora-
BILE instances. This has been attained en-
tirely by the improvement OF the pedigree
principle of the seed. The quality of rich
ness in the root was attained by yilmorin in
the following manners: Each root is @ per-
feet plant and, therefore, in the examination
of each root for the production of seed the
quality of il had TO be ascerIained. For this
purpose yilmorin had set of most delicate
instruments made for the determination OF
specific gravity, and he found that the spe-
cific gravity was indicative OF the sugar con-
tanned. The cups he used were no larger
than lady's thimble, and the sacharometer
or measure of specific gravity equally small
The roots were first selected according to the
best ordinary rules, then small portion of
each root was punched out of it in such
part as TO njure as little az possible its
future growth; the pieces were reduced to
pulp and the juice was extracted. All the
roots which did not yield juice up to Ger.
tain standard were rejected, while those
which reached tn standard were planted for
seed; the roots proauccd from this seed
were found to 10 constantly increasing In
richness, and few years of the process pro.
duced the great percentage Of sugar which Il
now attained. - Gaidnei's Chronicle.

HOW ALLroAToRs EAT.

An alligator's throat is an animated sewer.
Everything which lodges in his open mouth
goes down. He is lazy dog, and, instead
of hunting for something to eat, he lets his
vietuals hunt for him. That is, he lays with
his great mouth open, apparently dead, like
the possum. Soon bug crawls into it,
then fly, then several gnats and colony of
mosquitoes. The alligator don't close his
mouth yet. He is waiting for a whole drove
of things. He does his eating by wholesale.
A little later lizard will cool himself under
the shade of the upper jaw. Then few
frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats light on
the frogs Finally whole village Of insects
and reptiles settle down for an afternoon
picnic. Then, all Mt once, there is an earth
quake. The big jaw falls, the alligator slyly
blinks one eye, gulps down the entire menag,
erie and opens bis great front door again for
more visitors.

dressed in fashion long out of date. The

it appeared asleep rather than dead. The
No one in the district had been missed with
in their remembrance, and at last it was re-
solved to bring in the oldest inhabitant--an
old lady long past her soth year, who had
lived single in the village the whole of her
life. On being taken into the presence OF
the body very strange scene occurred
The old lady fell on the corpse and kissed it
and addressed it by every term of endear-
ment spoken in bygone generation. He
was her only love, and she had waited for
him during her long life. She knew he had
not forsalen her. The old lady and young
man had been betrothed sixty years before.
The lover had disappeared mysteriously, and
she had kept her faith during the long inter-
val The miners removed the old lady to
her house, and that night her faithful spirit
rejoined that of her long-lost loyer.-San

MISCELLANY
A WARNING TO statesmen.

|. Probably the most disguised young gen.
tleman in New York is one connected with a
large dry-goods store. This is why.
II. Some time ago the wife of promi-
nent politician-an estimable lady, and nat
urally great stickler for fashion, especially
as she began life at a hotel, but not as a
guest-made up her mind to purchase
cameps-hair shawl of the first water.
Ill Accordingly she prepared for shop
ping campaign, and invited young gentle
man who knew the ropes to accompany her.
~. This young gentleman went to a
friend in the shawl line and said unto him
:" I'm going to bring Mrs. 49, here to-mor-
row to buy cancels. hair She won't think
it good one unless it costs her good deal
of money. You understand ?"
V. The salesman said he did, and went TO
the head of his firm, and said: "There's a
lady coming here to buy camel's hair shawl
tomorrow, and think can sell her one at
a high price, because she is a parvenue,
and won't appreciate it otherwise How
much of margin can work on, because 1t
want to make something for myself p
"Well," said the boss, it's $500 shawl !;
anything you can get above $3.50 you can
haye.n
VI. Nextday, when Mrs. - called, and the
salesman showed her the shawl "What ie
the price ?" The lady's companion winked
at the salesman, and noiselessly pointed to
he roof, as if to say, put it on steep!"
INF Off CHI
wouldn't stand the pressure, and he replied
huskily; "Seven hundred and fifty dollarsl"
" Is that the best you have?" "The very
best, madam" "Well will speak to my
husband about it." "You internal IDIOT"
Kissed her escort to the salesman, as they
went out, "You didn't ask her enough!"
VII. When the lady went home and told
her husband, he said: "My dear, Alder
man IS wife has one she paid 81 900 for
at IS. guess you had better go there. :"
well, will tomorrow, only did like the
pattern of the one / saw to-day"
VIII. Next day the lady called at the 9TH
er store and encountered salesman of
more Napoleonio character "This shawl
at $780," he said, "is about the best we
have-you see, it isn't exactly the season."
saw one at IS yesterday that 1 liked
very much, but it was only $3.50, so it can't
have been good. / want real good one"
The sympathizing salesman drew her out for
few moments and then reflected that they
had one shawl left that they were going to
send up to Mrs. Vanderbilt and that perhaps
it had not yet left the store. So he DIES.
patched a trusty messenger to get it.
TX. The trusty messenger sped down
stairs--and over to the rival establishment
and got the shawl, and the salesman asked
the lady 81, 100 for it and she took it at
once, saying that the pattern was very much
like the one she had seen the day before,
but any one could see it was a much SUPER
Tor article And the salesman modestly re-
piled that it was evident she was Judge of
camel's-hair shawls.
