The Man Who Out-Suffered All
San Francisco Post.
They are making lots of fuss over the
fact that the Jeanette survivors were
compelled to live on walrus hide for three
weeks" said Diffenderfer down at the club
the other night, just as though that was
anything so terrible. Now, if they had
gone through the hardships that / have
they might talk"
Cooks been burning your buckwheats,
suppose" said Boggs, with satirical
wink.
ooh, I'm i'm earnest" said Diffenderfer
"FOr instance, / was lost on a Michigan
prairie once, and for three DAYS lived on a
single field mouse | caught"
That's nothing" said another member,
contemptuously.
"Ain't, Ell? Another time | was ship
wrecked in the south seas, floating around
on raft sixteen DAYS, with nothing to eat
but a pair of old bootlegs among ten of
us"
"Good, soft calfskin isn't so bad" criti-
cally observed Skidmore, who claimed to
be pirate, or something, in early life.
"Then, on another OCCASION" said Diffen-
derfer. bracing up again, after awhile, 81
was locked by mistake in bank vault,
and had to subsist over Sunday on govern
ment bonds and coupons"
''Lots OF men doing that now," said old
Bolts, grufiiy.

at New Orleans" said the narrator, grow
ing paler and more determined as he went
on, sand for six weeks hid i'm a swamp and
lived exclusively on the cast-off skin of an
alligator"
"You should have boiled i" said Guffey,
calmly. That's the way used to do in
Africa"
There was q silence that could be cut
with knife after that for some time,
when, just as the crowd was chuckling
over the supposed extinguishment Of the
story teller, Diffenderfer took the bit in his
teeth and made one more desperate brush
for the lead.
"But, gentlemen" he continued,
solemnly, "those were hardships,
indeed but nothing, absolutely nothing,
compared to an experiment / once endur-
ed in this way about three years ago.
Through an unfortunate combination of
circumstances was compelled to eat three
hotel steaks in one week" And with awe
struck faces the sympathizing crowd arose
and awarded the survivor the official cake.

that she has no husband. If she had q hus-
band, he'd take his dear wife across his
knee when she got those purple tights, and
raising his hand aloft would say, "Dearest
Anna, will you promise to quit this Ham

hand and think of the thin tights, and say,

you will let up on me-" And another war
would thus be averted.-Milwaakee Sun.

Logan has succeeded in running
his Grant bill through the senate.
Under its provisions the ex-president
receives over a thousand dollars q
month of the peoples money, to which
he has no more right than any other
citizen of this republic. What it is
that makes men vote for such propesi-
tions as that of Logan on behalf of
Grant would tax the ingenuity of the
greatest logician on earth, and would
require whole days of vigorous argu-
ment to make clear, with the chance
of the general conclusion being that
the whole thing is steal. Grant at
one time did the state some service :;
but he has been paid for it in money,
and glutted with honors for it, thou
sand times over. Logan's conduct
with regard to this bill contracts rath-
er sharply with his behaviour with
respect to act of simple justice to an
old and abused soldier who has lain
under the ban for nineteen years. He
could do anything for Grant, and
everything against Porter.
We read that the republican sena-
tors, as a rule, were by no means
heartily in favor of the Logan bill.
but contented themselves with voting
for it without giving their reasons for
so doing. After going SO far as to
cast their votes unwillingly for the
bill, it is strange that they did not
withhold them altogether. 1t was
doubtless the indefi nable thing which
is the incumbus of Grant on this
country. Some lively debate is ex.
pected over the bill when it reaches
the house, but their is strong prob
liability that the upshot of the bust
ness will be that the house will concur
in the action of the senate, and Grant
will thus become the heaviest pen.
sioner with whom the government is
burdened. When the system of eter-
nal rewards is to end, We have no
means of knowing; but We can safely
predict that whatever Black Jack
Logan expects to gain by furthering
Grants groundIess claim for more
money out of the government, he will
fall somewhat short of securing, on
account ola certain want of confidence
which the people of the country have
generally in Black Jack Logan. The
services which Grant is undoubtedly
to render in return for the money
which Logan has secured for him.
will hardly avail the Illinoisan much.
The star of both chief and henchman
is waning.

WEEKLY BAZOO.
APLACE FOR ROSCOE.

One of the most complete surprises
of recent times around Washington,
and, indeed, all over the country, is
the nomination of Roscoe Conkling to
the vacant place on the supreme
bench. His nearest friends had not
expected it. Nor did Conkling him.
self expect it. He had been very
active in trying to secure the place
for Clarence A. Seward, who was re-
garded as the candidate most likely to
secure the nomination.
Two truths are told as happy pro-
legaes to this swelling act of imperial
theme. The opinion is held by many
that Arthur's action in this matter is
designed only for peace-making COM
pliment to Conkling, and that an
early deelination is relied on as the
next scene in the play. But the presi-
dents friends say that the nomination
IS made in good faith and that it is
expected that Conkling will accept.
The members of the cabinet know
nothing on this point, as none of
them have been consulted by Arthur
relative to the nomination.
The manner of the reception of the
nomination in the senate was such as
20 indicate that the selection of the
tsrmer chief to be a justice of the
supreme court is not wholly pleasing
10 all the republican senators. The
custom is to confirm the nomina ton
of senator to an office without re-
ference to a committee. This was
proposed in Conklings case. Senator
Hoar had word or two to say. He
took the floor and warmly pronou need
against it. He said that while he con-
oceded Roscoe's immense abilities, and
that no man since Webster had sur.
passed him in intellectual power, ne
believed him dishonest, and believed
that he had used his intellectual pow :
ars for bad purpose. He struck his
eaesk violently and declared that Ros-
GOES elevation to the supreme bench
would be disgrace to the judicial
ermine, and he therefore interposed
his objection to the present consldera-
uon of the nomination and insisted
that 1t should take the regular course
Of reference to the Judiciary commit
tee, as the rule with regard to sena-
tors in this particular cannot apply
to Conkling for the reason that he is
no longer a senator.
With regard to Conkling's real fit
ness for the place, there may or may
not be some question. He is said to
be lawyer of great powers, which
would seem to imply thorough knowl-
edge of the law and if he has not lost
the legal cast of his mind through the
disuse which must have resulted
from his course in politics. he will
probably make judge who will do
honor to q seat on the bench of the
supreme court. Ex-senator Doolittle
is credited with saying that Conkling
viii make a good Judge, and other dis
tinguished people have iptimated as
much. There Is some reason for the
belief that the New York statesman
viii accept the place, inasmuch as he
cannot be induced to express himself
on the subject. His acceptance will
do much towards uniting the party in
the Empire state, and it is most rea-
soaable to suppose that Conkling will
not refuse his good Offices in this re-

Tan-colored long gloves with loose
wrists are considered appropriate with
dresses of any color, as well as with
white or black dresses. These are of
undressed kid usually, but the thicker
skin of the Biaititz are also worn in
tan shades at receptions.
A beautiful wedding dress recently
worn was of satin of that tint known
as baby blue. The front was en-
broidered with pearl beads and edged
with q fringe Of pearl and crystal.
The waist and train were Of moire of
the same tint, with full ruchings of
the satin edging the train.
Esthetic neckerchiefs consist of q
square of pale rose, blue, olive green
or mauve null muslin with bright

them, is the correct style.
Pink is the color for the 'rosebud"

blue satin, while the daughters dress
was of sea she'll pink. The mothers

Turkey and geese wings are one OF
the greatest conveniences in household,
and every woman knows how to appre-
ciate them, not only for busting fiirni
ture, stoves, cobwebs, etc., but also for
washing sinks and windows and for
spreading paste on wall paper. 1t is al
ways trouble to keep the moths ffb,n
running them in warm weather, as they
seem TO reyel in the feshy part of the
wing. l have tried faithfully several
methods to preserve them, such as bind
ing the ends with linen cloth, buryine
in ashes and dipping in brine, but could
find nothing that was perfectly reliable
till two years ago an accident revealed
the secret.
A pail of strong copperas water was
set away to cool over night, preparatory
to use in the cellar, and by some mis-
chance package of wings hanging
overhead fell into the water with the
joint ends down. In the morning they
were taken out and flung into the wood
shed, supposing they were ruined. Some
weeks after, supposing they were dry
enough to burn, they were picked up to
carry to the kitchen range, but instead
of being ruined they were in the very
best state of preservation-not a moth
visible or feather loose-and they last
ed the best of any wings 1 ever used.
Last year repeated the experiment of
dipping them in copperas water, and the
result was splendid; and hereafter it Will
be my rule in preparing wings for serv-
ice, to dip them as soon as possible after
they are taken of, and then string them
on cord and hang them up in a dry
place till they are needed for use. Ithas
often been said that some of the most
useful methods of doing work and the
best receipts were the result of accident
rather than design. This method of pre-
serving wings was purely accidental,
and it is no waste, for the water is Just
as good to pour into the sink drain for a
disinfectant as if the wings had not been
dipped in it,-cor. Country Gentleman,

Herald, our representative inquired of that
gentleman, after stating his mission, II he

German Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil. A smile
played across Mr.. Refers expressive face and
his eyes twinkled merrily as he replied in the
affirmative; viii not refuse to state my ex-
perience with it, and you may use it as you
think best. Four years ago l sprained one Of
my ankles, an accident which, as you are
aware, entails much suffering and sometimes
leaves the limb In condition to remind one
frequently Of the old hurt. Unfortunately
this result ensued. Whenever the weather be-
came damp or my system absorbed the slight
est cold my ankle panied me. This went on
at intervals for over three years, and could
not obtain relief Last winter / applied the
st. Jacobs Oil and it completely cured me.

tai that proposes to supply the country

factories to be built on the Potomac and
on the Delaware River, at Gloucester, N
J. The fish are to be frozen in galvan-
lied iron tubs, the exact shape and size
of a barrel sawed in halves, and filed
with fish and pulverized ice thoroughly
shaken down to a compact mass. A
wooden cover is put on, and the pack
age. with others, packed in coarse ice
and salt, where it remains for twenty
four hours. 1t is then taken out, placed
with the cover downward, a stream of
cold water turned upon it to loosen the
frost from the metal, and the tub lifted
off, leaving solid block of ice, in which
the fish are as firmly imbedded as in
granite.

In a pennsylyania town there are.

In Pennsylvania town there are,
or were, thirty hives of bees. Many OF
them broke loose last fall, and took pos
session of peoples houses. One man
boarded half a bushel of them in his
kitchen for week. The fruit canning
had to be done at night, and the saga
cious bees, having stopped up the door
ways, the people had to crawl in and
out through the windows. Fruits and
grapes were destroyed by the bushel,
and nearly the whole village was stung.

view to preventing its happening again.
In kalamazoo County, Mich, few
years since, bee case got into court,
the owners of the bees setting up the
defense that the insects were ferg nat

animals, for whose damages they might
