Tho Man With the Flail.

1t carried the beholder back to thirty
years ago. when the threshing machine
was heard only at rare intervals. and the
hGxest farmer spread his golden stalks
on the clean barn floor and failed away
with such tempered blows that not a
kernal was broken. The man who had
it sat down on one of the benches in the
West Circus Park. The rare sight CT
such an article halted every pedestrian,
and the man had to explain over and
over again:
''Well, I'll have some beans to shell
this fall. and I kinder thought 'twould
be easier to fail 'em out. The hardware
man told me he had to send to Vermont
for it. ,..-.-.-
Pretty soon along came gray headed
Alderman, and when he saw that fail he

he said, as he picked it up and spit on
his hands. ''Seems like old times to
get hold of this hickory again.
He stepped out. on one side to give
the crowd an exhibition on the grass,
and his success was great. At the Sec
ond blow the fail end hesitated in mid
air, wobbled about, and finally came
down with whack on the patriot head,
making him see more stars than win
ter's night ever brought out. He drop
ed the weapon with the remark that he
was already ten minutes late in keeping
an appointment, and he Was rubbing his
skull as far down the street as he could
be seen. The next man to try it was
one who got off passing car under the
idea that dog fight was in progress.
"A fail? Ha! ha! Why I haven't
seen fail since I was married." he
chuckled, as he reached for it. 81 pre-
sumo have failed a thousand bushels
of wheat in my time. You boys stand
back there"
The boys retreated, and the man lifted
the fail on high, and patted the grass in
vigorous manner.

Something happened He dropped
the fail, seized his jaw, and danced off
as If he had springs under him, and al
though dozen voices asked what hit
him he refused to tell.
BY and by third man came sailing
along, and when he saw the fail he re-
marked that his father used one like it
nearly all his life, and was called the
smartest daiIer in New Hampshire.
''Can't you use it?'' inquired one of
the crowd.
"Why, Of course. Il you boys want
to see how Our fathers got their wheat to
mill, I'll give you a little exhibition.
Here, bub, hold my hat"
He buttoned his coat, moistened his
hands, and began work. The first blow
nearly broke a mans knee; the second
cracked against a boys elbow, and at the
third the fiailer grabbed the top of his
head and sat down, with a subdued look
In the corners of his mouth.

The Catfish Aristocrat.

John j. Ingalls,, Senator from Kansas,
writes an article on "Catfsh Aristoc-
racy" for the Kansas Magazine. Here
is o descriptive passage Gathered
around a rusty stove choked with soggy
driftwood, he drinks sod-corn from q tin
cup, plays old sledge upon the head of
an empty key, and reels home at nigth-
fail, yelling through the timber, to his
squalid cabin. A score Ct lean, hungry
ours pour in a canine cataract over the
worn fence by the horse block, as their
master approaches, baying deep
mouthed welcome, filing the chambers
OF the forest with hoarse reverberations.
mingled with an explosion Of oaths and
frantic imprecations. Snoring the nigth
away in drunken slumber, under heap
OF gray blankets, he crawls into his
muddy jeans at sun up, takes gurgling
drink from a fiat, black bottle, stop
pered with cob, goes to the log pile
by the front door, and with a dull AK
slabs off an armful of green cotton. wood
to make fire for breakfast, which con-
slsts OF the inevitable "meat and bread"
and decoction of coffee burned to char
coal and drank without milk and sugar.
Another pull at the bottle, few grains
OF quinine if it is ager day, a chaw of

sweet delights OF home have been en-
loyed, and the spiritual creature goes

The Bird of Paradise.

The twelve-wired bird of paradise in
its adult male plupage presents very
remarkable appearance. The head, neck
and throat are velvety black, changing
jim certain lights to beautiful purple.
The breast feathers are edged with me-
tallic emerald green. The back is olive
green, the primaries and secondaries
rich purple. the flank and undertail
coverts buff. The popularity which
suggested name for the bird is a
curious prolongation of the shafts of the
flank feathers-six on each side, like
long wires. The female does not pos
sess these, and is altogether much plain
er in plumage. Mr.. Wallace has de-
scribed it as fr.quentipg Towering trees,
especially sage palms aud pandani, suck
ing the flowers, reund and beneath
which its unasu,'lr largo and powerful

few moments on one tree, after viii ,h
it flies Off, and with great swiftness. to
another. It has loud, shrill cry, which
can be heard a long way, consisting oil
"Cah, cah,' repeated five or six times
in descending scale, and at the last
note it generally flies away. The males
are solitary in their habits, although
perhaps they assemble at times, like the
true paradise birds.

Scandinavian Hospitality.

The most striking quality OF Scandi-
navian character seems to be hospitality.
Throughout Norway, Sweden and the
far North the author was heartily re-
celved by every one, from the king in
his palace to the Laplander in his tent.
During five years of almost incessant
travel, in the course of which every part
OF the peninsula was visited, Mr.. Du
Cballlu was coolly treated only once.
The Swedes and Norwegians have the
reputation OF being reserved and cold,
but this is true Of them only when they
meet strangers of the class best suggest
ed by the word tourist" To any one
whose interest In them cannot be meas
ured by stare or two and few imper-
tinent questions, they are unsuspicious
and communicative, as well as cordial to
the verge of affection. Mr.. Du Chaillu
went among them freely, conversed with
them in their own language, wore gar
ments like their own, and took part in
their labors, sports and ceremonies. The
treatment he received in return causes
him to speak most enthusiastically in
praise OF their sociabiliry and kindness.
AS In all other countries that retain
primitive habits, hospitality in Scandi-
navia always implies eating and drink
ing. The poorest farmer or fisherman
always has something to offer the visitor,
and lack of appetite is generally con-
strued as a slight. The author mentions
one occasion on which, to avoid hurting
any ones feelings, he ate thirty times in
two days, and drank thirty-four cups of
coffee. Otter strong cheese is offered
just before a meal to provoke appetite,
and In the cities formal dinner is pre-
coded by smorgas, or lunch, at table
crowded with alleged appetizers. On a
single smorgas table the author noted
smoked reindeer meat, smoked salmon
With poached eggs, raw salmon freshly
sailed, hard-boiled eggs, caviare, fried
sausage, anchovy, smoked goose breast,
cucumbers, raw salt herring, several
kinds of cheese and as many of bread,
and salad made of picked herring,
boiled meat, potatoes, eggs, beets and
onions. There were also three kinds of
spirits on the table, and from these and
the various dishes the guest helped
themselves bountifully, and then did
justice to all excellent dinner. John
Haberton.
