A FaYorite Trick.

One of Vivier's favorite performances:
Having marked down his prey, an eld.
erly citizen who has ordered glass of
beer, and is preparing to assimilate
it on the asphalt in front of a cafe,
Vivier approaches and salutes him pro-
foundly. then, with mingled volubil-
ity and brusqueness, thus addresses
him:
Monsieur. l am one of the inspect.
ors of the new department of chemical
analysis, established for the purpose Of
detecting ndulteration in articles Of

tailed to the subject of beer. My face
being known TO the proprietors of the
establishment, if were to order any,
thing they might take the alarm and
shave me.quite different article, and
thus battle ME. Permit me, therefore,
to taste your beer.
The stupefed victim offers no resist.
ance and Vivier drains the glass at a
drau Iht, and seis it down remarking:
Excellent! excellent! You can drink
that beer with impunity! thank you in
the name of science and the municipal.
ity for your unselish co-operation.
Good afternoon! Waller, another beer

A Wasted Opportunity.

A few weeks ago q young servant girl
liz Salt Lake received an offer of mar
rage from q Mormon who already had
four wives. The offer was made through
mutual friend, and the girl did not
even have an opportunity Of seeing her
future husband. Suffice to know that
he owned considerable property in Salt
Lake and was otherwise well fixed in
the world. She thought the matter over,
concluded TO call it go. and sent word
that he might name the day. He did so.
and on foggy Thursday morning be
came round TO the house with two wives,
and announced that he was ready to
take his young bride away. The servant
girl was upstairs getting ready to be
married, and the lady of the house met
the polygamous party at the door. She
noticed, somewhat to her astonishment,
that the man was being led by his wives
for the very simple reason that he was
as blind as Q bat and also over sixty
years of age. Rushing to the stairs she
called up to the girl:
sally, your sweetheart has come to
marry you"
Tell him I'll be right down." said
the girl, adjusting fresh hairpin and
throwing on few extra dashes of car
mine powder.
"He's sixty-fve years old and as blind
as q bat"
Whats that?" inquired the girl, ,anx-
iously leaning over the banister. The
startling information was repeated.
Tell him to clear out" was the re-
sponse. The lady of the house commun-
icated the command to move on to the
old polyg and his wives, and the party
stole sorrowfully away.
The inexperienced girl thought she
had made lucky escape, but when
some married woman heard of it and
told her what good thing she had
missed, she began to regret the hasty
decision, and now pines for the blind
man to return. There are hundreds of
women in Salt Lake who would give al
most anything for genuine blind hus-
band. The girl may never get another
such an offer in . lifetime. Lake

Beaten by Chicago.

A Toledo commercial traveller who
has been opening up q new route in
Indiana this winter encountered one
dealer who didn't think he had better
change his custom. He had been deal
ing with Chicago house for several
years, and he had no fault to find.

"Yes, but Chicago beats that"
"How's-cents a pound for starch p
"Oh, Chicago beats that
'Fl sell you good tea by the chest for
GENTS"
That's purity fair, but Chicago beats
that"
Our house will give you four months
credit"
"Chicago's ahead of that"
The traveller couldn't mention thing
that Chicago didn't beat, and at last,
despairing of receiving an order, he re.
marked:
II did think of stopping over Sunday
and going to church, but it seems"
"Oh. it's no use in trying that on"
interrupted the dealer. "The agent of a
Chicago house has been running our
choir over year past, and Cincinnati
house has already agreed to send us ON
a Sunday school library! Maybe you
can do something in the next town, but
we're chuck full here and wouldn't

fha people of Reno. Nevada, haye
recent, furnished an example of cool
n".> in time Of danger which may well
serve - an example In the subjects of
the ''ilrie drspotismS of the Old World.
Had the unfortunate spectators who
were burned in Vienna been blessed
with the same presence of mind. their
lives would probably have been spared.
1t seems that while the population of
Reno was in the Grand Opera House,
listening to the strains which are conf
IDENTIFY believed by Alice Oates to be
sweet, an alarm was given. The pop
ulation of Reno turned pale. The dread
ed cry of "Firer smote upon the ear Ct
Reno. Fair Women shuddered and grew
faint. Some ''strong man" Immediately
gained the door-presumably to keep
the crowd from getting out, and to
preserve untarnished the Reno name for
GOODNESS. At this awful moment man
arose in the gallery. He is now Reno's
demigod, but at that time he was a god.
He arose, We say, extended his hand,
and these memorable words fell from
his lips: "Keep cool! The fire is in
Chinatown" At these words all hearts
were gladdened, and grateful glances
from fair eyes shot softly toward him.
His name was Hagermann. When we
consider that there were fully one hum
dred and fifty people in the Reno Grand
Opera House; that it was, therefore,
jammed; that this immense crowd would
probably have required forty-five to fifty
seconds in emerging; that the loss of life
would probably have been enormous
when we consider all these things, it is
not strange that the name of Hager-
mann has been emblazoned in letters of
gold upon Reno's scroll of fame.-Argo-

Where Famines Occur.

1t is q great hell t, lhe study of FAM
ines 10 observe that they occur almost
invariably in thinly-setted countDi's. or
in countries where whole people are
employed in producing food. Ireland
and India belong to he latter elias
Sweden, Persia and Asia Minor to the
former. ven wears ago both Asia
Minor and Northern Sweden were ELL
during the horrors of famine. Both
are ihinly-settled countries, the former
having less than third of the popula-
tion it supported in R man times. In
1874 children were sold by their parents
into perpe ual slavery, partly to save
them from a slow and painful death,
and partly to secure a scanty supply OF
fool for the remaining members of the
household. Whole villages were de-
populated. and regions abandoned to
the wilderness. Swedish Delecarlia
was nearly aS i'll of. the difference be-
ing due to bett,r government aud large
assistance from the neighboring coun-
tries aud provinces. At this moment
both countries are again facing tho
same terrible experience, and crying

The Uss Of short Hordh

HorAiio Seymour dwells thus strong.
" on the use OF short words.
We must not only think In words. but
we must also try TO use the best words,
and those which in speech will put what
Is in your mind into the minds Of 9TH
er& This is the great art which those
must gain who wish TO teach in the
school. the church. at the bar or through
the press. To do this in the right way
they should use the short words which
we learn in early life, and which have
the same sense TO all classes of men.
The English Of our Bible is good. Now
anil then some long words are found,
and they always hurt the verse in which
you fluid them. Take that which says,
%, We generation of vipers. who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath TO
Gomez" There is one long word which
should not be In it, namely genera
tion." In the old version the old word
brood" is used. Read the verse again
with this term, and you feel its full
force. 20 ye viper's brood, who ha' h
warned you TO q @ from the wrath tO
Gomez" Crime sometimes does not look
like crime when it is set before rs In
I o many folds Of a long word. When
man steals and we call It ''defalca-
tion." we are at loss to know II It is q
blunder or q crime. II he does not tell
the truth, aud we are told that it Is q
case of "prevarication" it takes Us
some time to know just what we should
think of it. No man will ever cheat
himself into wrong-doing, nor will he
be at loss to Judge of others, IL he
thinks and speaks OF acts in clear, crisp
terms. 1t is a good rule, il one Is at o
loss to know if an act is right or wrong,
to write it down in short, straightout
English
