thousand terror stricken people had
come to him with tears in their eyes.
Much to Bruins surprise the night
passed like all other nights. No one
appeared during the forenoon to
plead with him, and the afternoon
passed without an Earthquake or
Tornado. He momentarily expected
the advent of a crowd TO plead with
him to come back to the World and
have faith and confidence, but the
crowd didn't show up. After a long
and hungry night Bruin began to
weaken. After much argument with
himself he craWled out Of his den

Ladies "a Grain-dealers,

Two blooming ladies, fair to look up
on and elegantly dressed, rodo down on
the street-car together to attend to the
duties of the Women's Grain Exchange.
One was blonde, the other pronouno-
ed brunette. They were much interest
ed In discussing the present unsettled
condition of the market, especially tho
decline in wheat, and so deeply engaged
that they did not stop to think how eX-
traordinary their conversation sounded
in the ears of their uninitiated listeners.
Said the blonde: "Oh, this drop is to be
accounted for in many ways. The mil
lers have shut off grinding, and because
of the late fall farmers will not need so
much grain for feed. Besides there Is
good deal of monkey business among
spectators, and they are banging away
prietory of things, or actual condition Of
the supply and demand"
81 tumbled into a pretty good thing
on that last bust" said the brunette.
Il don't care if the whole bottom falls
out"
Il do" retorted the other; I am an
awful BULL I believe in crowding. I'm
longer now, and stood in for S1.30."
'Maybe I'd better straddle," suggest
ed the other.
''No, don't you straddle anything
That'll break up the best of 'em. You
might as well try to straddle buzz
saw"
This was too much for one of the
passengers, Board of Trade man, who
smiled so ardently that the ladies were
confusedly interrupted, and signaled to
the conductor to stop the car. There
was litter as the two got out.-NeaO

What Is a Mascotte.

Both dictionaries and scholars fail to
answer the question, which the opera
with the title constantly raises, what Is
a mascotteP But the visitors of Monte
Carlo tell us it is fetich-a luck-bring-
er. All gamblers are superstitious, and
draw their inspirations from the oldest
circumstances. A mascotte may be
sou or sixpence with hole in it,
button, lock of hair, anything which
the punter has associated with lucky
turn. Aims to beggar-mascotte; de-
NAL of alms-mascotte; seeing hunch-
back or white horse-mascotte; meet
ing black cat-mascotte. Three years
ago little hunchback at Monaco de-
rived large returns from standing near
the table and rubbing his hump at the
request of the players. He had tariff.
Once, francs; a long rubbing, 10 francs;
for standing half an hour behind cur

20 francs. At the end of the season, re-
turning to Paris on the train, he was
seen to throw away his hump. Mascotte

A Queer Family.

In the southern part of Dutchess
County, among the mountains, stands
strange and lonely habtation, in which
a curious race of people has dwelt for
many generations. Their progenitor
was an 1rishman named Heady. They
are called the "Headies," and they
claim to be partly of Indian origin.
Their ancient home has been called
1.-The Woodbine' ever since the days of
the log cabin from which the present
structure grew. The vine which COW
ers the front of the house would suffi-
ciently account for this appellation, but
it was also-the name of the Indian girl
from whose union with the Irish Heady
the race has sprung. The story is that
the father and founder of the colony
lived to see his descendants of the fifth
generation, and that before he died he
called them all about him and, giving
to each sprig of the vine, bade him
plant it before his new home. for they
had become so numerous that they must
separate. Some built near the old house
and some far away, and only a few are
now left; but a luxuriant growth of
woodbine covers all the mountain side.

He Was Satisfied.

A young society swell recently took
advantage of sunny afternoon to call
on one of ChicaGo's bellies for the pur-
pose of inviting her to the theater. AS
the young slady in question was not IN
her sister undertook to entertain the
young gentleman. After the usual
limited round of society topics had been
talked over the gentleman took the lady
to task for her frequent "djectival ap-
pellation of sdear" and darling in
speaking of her, averring that in his
opinion it was affected. The young
lady laughingly denied this. At this
moment the absent sister was seen re-
turning, and the incredulous young
man proposed to put the matter to a
test by eoncealing himself behind the
curtains and thus overheard their con-
versation unhampered by society re-
strictons. The young lady assented to
this plan with evident willingness, and
the doubter was effectually concealed
in the lace mazes of the curtain.
"Why, my dear, how long you have
been absent" said she to the returning
sister rs she entered the parlor. ''You
dear darling, why did you not come
sooner?'' ''Well,'' responded the mat

MISS LYDDY's WEDDING GOWN.

"Oh, missus, missus! Somefn's done

Blank horror and dismay were depict
ed upon the face of my small ltAfrican, as
she stood upon my threshold with up
raised hands and eyeballs that seemed
starting from their sockets. Her pause
was one of preparation, for with the in
nate consideration of her race she
sought to break the news gently to me,
but the burden of it was too great for
her, and with the next breath she eX-
claimed:

She sped out and instantly returned
with tattered shred of India null that
had once been white, and still bore some
resemblance to a gown. Poor Miss
Lyddy! This was all that remained of
her dream of wedding splendors. 1t
was too pitiful! l felt at once that the
bonds of good neighborhood had been
irretrievably broken, and that Major

last and worst depreciation of his un-

Miss Lyddy?

"Gone over to de buryin'-place to
tend to de ancestors" answered Glory.
Poor, faithful soul, even in those last
DAYS of her maidenhood, with the vague
terrors of matrimony and the still more
appalling responsibilities of unsaved
heathen souls hanging over her, she did
not forget the ancestors. Long lines
of Ludkinses lay buried in little sunken
hillocks in the family burying-place,
which lay just in sight of her sitting
room window. She herself was the last
of her race, and until within three weeks
it had seemed that the only fate which
awaited her was to live out her little
space under the ancestral roof-tree and
then take her place in the silent ranks
of those who had gone before. But 9

Light Yield of Early Cheese.

months of 1882 smaller by about one
third than In the corresponding months
of 1881. The number of COWS has been
rather increased than diminished, but
the yield of milk has been less. Some
of the early milk, which was formerly
made into cheese, has been turned into
butter, on account of the relatively high
er price butter has borne all the spring
than cheese. Butter at 80 cents is equal
to cheese at 13 cents, but good butter
has been above 30 cents and cheese be-
low 13; the inducement, therefore, has
been strong for turning all the milk, as
far as it could well be done, into butter
instead of cheese. But the chief def
cheney in cheese has come from an unusu-
ally small product of milk from given
number of cows. This has come large
ly from poor keeping. Grain and mill
feed have been higher than usual, and
dairymen have hesitated about feeding
these. The outlay from using extra feed
was a certainty. The income from it's
use could not be 80 plainly seen, and
hence many have withheld it, whom
there was more than the usual necessity
for liberal feeding. In the first place,
the price of butter has warranted full
feeding. Where cows were fresh in.
milk, their increased product would
have paid back even more than the full
cost of the grain, and the COWS have
been improving in condition besides,
and have been ready to do a full sum-
mers work. By Withholding the feed,
scanty return has been made during
the spring, and the milk must be poor
all the early part of summer, while the
COWS are using the substance of their
food to restore the flesh previously lost.

Odd Bits Of Ignorance.

In spite of the advance of education,
everyone who has observed his fellow
creatures must be aware that even the
educated classes are grotesquely lg-
norant. We have known a clergyman,
and University man, to boot. and
grave fellow, too, and q pious, who,
when he visited the Riviera, expressed
peculiar interest in the prospect of
viewing Nice Here" said he, ''was
held the famous Council of Nice, and in
the presence of that blue sea, within
the shade of those gray groves OF
olives, was composed one of the creeds
of the church." This was doubtless asen-
tence from some future sermon; but we
regret to say that, in q thoughtleSs
moment, and obeying q pedantic I'M
pulse, we dispelled the illusion and de-
monstrated that the Council of Nice
was not held in the fascinating neigh
borhood of Monte Carlo.
1t is not every one who has heard
of Mr.. Darwin. At his recent funeral

versatiOn, began to chat with high Of

The public is peculiarly ignorant Of
Bible history. We doubt if a fair per-
centage of the people you meet in tho
course of an hours walk could get as
near the order of the names of the books
in the Old Testament as the little school
girl in Somerset. This West-country
blossom of the School-Board system
was requested to name the earlier writ
ings of the sacred text, which she did
thus, and very tluently: "Devonshire,
Exeter, Liticus, Numbers, Astronomy,
Jupiter, Jumbo, Ruth. ;" Here the
higher criticism dimly detects q vague
local rendering of "Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Jo-
shua, Judges, Ruth" Talking of Ruth
reminds us of the ignorant lady at the
picture gallery. ''Ruth and Boaz," "
She read in the catalogue; "who was
Ruth?" Whereupon her companion fav-
ored her with a sketch of the plot OF
! Mrs. Gaskell's Ruth, ending with the
confession, ''but don't remember who
