In concluding this interview with the
reporter, Payton said that he had a wife
and daughter-the latter in her 10th
year residing il New York city. He
also said he expected 5000 from the

neither he nor others of whom he had a
right to expect aid came forward to his
rescue when he needed them.

THERE was Chinese witness in a
trial which was recently held in San
Francisco. The Judge, evidently not
being quite satisfied that the witness
understood the OBJ ect of the form he
had just gone through, asked him, as
is usual in such cases, if he understood
the nature of the oath. Perfectly
replied the witness with the utmost
confidence; 81 know if tell lie every
one in the court will be damned" An
equally amusing illustration of the ig-
norance of the Chinese in the matter of
our judicial oath was furnished some
time ago by the native usher In the Con-
sular Court at Shanghai. He was oh
served to be making an anxious search
for some missing object and, on being
questioned by the judge, he stated that
he was looking for the little book which
is given to the witnesses to smell! And
this man had been for thirteen years
usher of the court.

GOOD MANNERS.
the body

a LADY entering a room with gen.
tleman always precedes him few steps
unless she retains his arm.
WHEN calling at house if there are
several persons entitled - calls a card
should be left for each of them.
A HOST should always anticipate the
wants of his guests and never compel
them to ask for what they desire.
WHEN an engagement is broken the
ring and all presents which have been
received should be returned to the gen.
tleman.
WHEN hot luncheon is served, the
vegetables should be handed by the
servant, and not placed on the table, as
at dinner.
IT is always proper to pare an apple,
to cut q peach, or prepare an orange
with the knife and fingers, dispensing
with fork.
AFTER Luncheon tea and coffee are
never served in the drawing-room or
dining-room, as the guests are not ex-
pected to remain long, for the hostess
may wish to go out.
IT is not On imperative rule that a
gentleman should give his seat in q
street-car to lady standing, but If he
does relinquish his seat to her she
should always acknowledge the cour-
tesy.
A FORMAL call must always precede
an invitation to your house, and as it is
not customary for ladies to leave cards
for bachelor, the master of the house
must do so. Such call should be re-
turned within week at the longest.

A CINCINNATI paper gives the result
of the weighing of 22,155 men and
women at the last Exposition in that
city:
The object sought was determination OF
the average weight OF men and women-a
fact often required by civil and mechanical
engineers. Haswell states that the av rage
weight Of 20 600 men and women, weighed
at Boston in 1854, was-men 14111 pounds;
women 1241<. We have always thought
these weights too low for Western Poop e.
The number weighed ut the tenth Cincinna'i
Industrial Exposition was 22,155, and the
total weight 3, or, 800 pounds. Men weioh he'd,
7 ACT; weight, 1,15o,1oS pounds Women
weighed, 14,6Ss; weight 1,922,19S pounds.
Average weight Of men, IA OF pounds; aver
age weight of women, 100 81 pounds.
For men this Is 252 pounds higher than
the Boston average, and for women 6.3'
pounds higher.
We also determined with reasonable GER
tainty the average weight of people from
the country, independently OF the general
average. This was rendered possible by the
excursions that were coming here at various
times from this and the adjoining States,
parts of which were weighed
For Ohio-Average weight OF l4l men was
ISL 81 pounds; average weight of 10 women
was 1925.
For Southern Indiana and Illinois-Aver-
age weight of 1914 men was 1882 pounds
average weight of l03 women was 1888
For ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS weight Of ia mer
was 15s AZ pounds; average weight OF lsS
women was 1876.
The mean OF these averages Is 20 much
above the general average rs to attract at

and for women, 2e5 pounds The very high

The Wicked Editor.

A Little Rock newspaper man while
out in the country stopped at rude
farmhouse for dinner. Thinking that
his profession would insure marked at
tention he remarked to the farmer /:
Needn't put yourself to extra trouble
for me, for I'm an editor" "A what ?"
asked the farmer, regarding the visitor
with newly awakened interest. "a
newspaper man." "Wall, reckon you
can git suthing to eat, anyhow. Some
folks mout not gin you nothin' on this
account, but / never was very particu-
lar. But hold on, Editor did under
stand you to say?" "Yes, sir, / am an
editor, and however unfavorable it may
strike you, must say that am proud
of my calling" "I'll bet 500 that you
are one of the fellows that helped to

In the course of sermon in Phila-
delphia, Bishop Bowman, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, related inter-
esting personal experience. He said
"On my return from Japan preached
in California, and probably overworked
myself, and on the last Sunday in Feb
ruary, after holding divine service in my
st. Louis church, / returned home,
where 1 was immediately taken sick
with Ii gering fever, which the physi-
CT predicted would end fatally. At
this point seemed to fall into kind of
ecstasy, when actually did not know

said that she had heard that / was COM

some little conversation, which do not

something for the Lord, but will be or

said to have cost tens Of thousands of

wife, the daughter of Ambrose l.. Jor-

young Clark studied law under her
fathers roof. They married, and when
Clark had built her, in subsequent
years, beautiful home and bridged the
young Susquehanna for her, flowing
through her park, she walked across
the bridge one evening and took her
seat in the fieldy lawn, and there she
seemed to stay very long, till they sent
