OId.Time TitbInu.

Around some OF the parsonage houses
of England may yet be seen enormous
barns dating from the time when tithes
were paid in kind. The author Of "Not
Many Years Ago" relates some stories
about this period. which few now per-
sonally recall. His father, farmer,
sent polite message to the rector that
he intended to gather his apples, and
thought the yield promised some fifty
bags he would, therefore, II the rector
pleased, send six. But the rector pre-
ferred to send his man to watch, who.
therefore, appeared with chair, table
and good supply Of cider, and after
sitting in the orchard two days, carried
back three bags. On another accession,
some potatoes were taken up for dinner,
and half an hour later message came
from the rectors daughter, demanding
the portion due Of the potatoes taken up
that morning. Every tenth day the rec
tor sent to take the milk Of the cows,
and on those occasions the mixer was
not too careful to extract the last drop.

The Mountain LapIandar.

The Laplander, says Du Ohaillu, in
his "Land of the Midnight Sum-" BY
the severe training he undergoes from
childhood, sleeping on the bare ground
or resting against stone, suffering
hunger, and being exposed TO great
changes in the weather, has very great
powers of endurance. In summer he
has constantly to follow his herd, which
is for the greater part of the day on the
march, as they are not then obliged to
dig to get to the moss. He is also COM
PEELED to 60 through swamps and bogs,
or to cross patches of soft, deep snow,
to swim or pass rivers swollen by melted
snow or the flow from the glaciers, as /
have frequently done; often hungry,
and obliged to milk reindeer for sub
sistence, when he comes to the kata he
is generally overcome with fatigue, and
changing his wet clothes, falls into d
sleep brought on by sheer exhaustion.
frequently he wanders over tract Of
nearly one hundred miles, remaining
three or four days in district. then
moving six or seven miles farther. In
winter he travels over dreary wastes,
during violent storms. suffering from
hunger and cold. On the watch night
and day for bears, wolves, and gluttons,
perhaps he is suddenly awakened after
sleeping an hour. and summoned for
the protection Of his stock against enc
mics which may scatter the herd and
reduce him to poverty. All this makes
the mountain Laplander one of the
hardest Of men, and his physical
structure shows at once that he is equal
to the demands Of his life. He is Of
short stature, compactly but slightly
built, with strong limbs, his light
weight allowing him to climb, jump,
and run quickly.
Ophthalmia is quite prevalent, on Sc
count Of the cold winds and the glare
Of the snow; in the spring great care
has to be taken with the eyes, a. the

The famoas Gold of Ophir rose tree
on the Maddox farm in Eldorado county,
Gal, was recently destroyed by a yio-
lent wind. Its stem was 26 inches in
circumference, and the shrub itself had
grown around and over an oak so feet
high, stopping in its upward progress
only because there was nothing upon
which to climb higher. When in full
bloom, splendid mass Of golden flow
ers concealed the oak entirely from
view with blaze Of glory which many
persons have travelled far to see.

THE SQUIRES WILL.

'And serve him rightl" said Mrs.
Wynhart, grimly.
If Mrs. Wynhart had lived in ancient
times, she would most assuredly have
been ranked among the Scribes and
Phafisees.
She was always criticising and find
ing fault. Nobody suited her. And
when she spoke out the short, decisive
sentence above recorded, she set down
the tea-kettle with an emphasis which
iingled the very lid.
The neighbors had been there to
drink tea. Whenever anything of So
cial importance happened in Sandville,
the neighboIs always went somewhere
to drink tea. And Mrs. Wynhart had
had plum cake and frizzled beef, fresh
doughnuts and damson jelly. to cele-
brate the occasion.
And now that tea company was gone
(SandvilIe people always put their
knitting work in the bag and went home
early on account of the beach road and
the rising tide), Luella, the eldest
daughter, was washing up the dishes,
and Wintred, the younger, was chop
ping raisins for pudding.
"Oh. motherl" pleaded Winifred, who
was fair-haired, cherry-lipped girl,
always hanging down her head like
wild anemone, 'sdon't talk in that way,
pleaseI"
s'Mother's right enough, I" said Luella.
ssWhy shouldn't talk that way2"
said Mrs. Wynhart. s'Its the gospel

Housewives Should Seek for a Variety OF
Dishes

There is nothing more acceptable to the
appetite than change IN diet. A long con-
tinualion of the same food, prepared in the
,.me way is extremely tresome. Il is az
easy to have u Variety, II one chooses to
manufacture it, out of the same materials.
For instance, one wearies of having boiled
potatoes continually. They are good and

In meats, too, different methous Of cook

One gets tired of fried meat; it is better oc-

ex-senator to Gath, ito go up into the at
torney generals Office and see Brewster.
He has taken out the desk that used to be
there, and put table in The middle Of the
room, on which are large number of wax
candles-blue, red, white and all the colors
and the floor is covered with Persian
rugs; and there Brewster resolves you with
the uagnifcence of a grand vizier, his shirt
bosom full of rufles, ruffles at his sleeves,
his sack and vest Of velvet, and his trousers
OF white Goth or flannel, and low quartered
shoes. His tinpers are full of rings-1
think there is ring on almost every fin
ger. The old fellow is either trying to es-
tablish the fact that he is the last remnant
of the a1istocracy, or he is in his second
childhood. He writes a good many letters
telling what the government is going to do,
and nobody seems to have anything against
him: but it is terrific caricature of the
young widower's administration. Arthur
has been good deal praised for his gentle,
dainty habits and address; but Brewster
outshines him as much as the circus knight

Tony Pastor in Trouble.
From the BROOKLYN Eagle,

C4OAA WIG OAOoAAyAA 0~6A0'
Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now
with his ininitabfe variety combination,
making tour of the principal cities Of the
Union, is recognized as the leading charac
ter vocalist and variety performer of the
United States. He owns and runs first
class theatre on Br lway, New York city,
and has gathered about him the best troop of
variety artists that could be obtained. Ihe
company has just completed a brilliant en-
eagement at the Walnut street Theater,
Philadelphia, and after the present tour
they will reappear in Tony Pastors own
theater, in New YORK City. Mr.. Pastor is
the originator of his peculiar school of
character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by
his talents large for une.
The writer of this article met Mr.. Paste,
recently at the Bingham House, in Ph;la
delphia, and found him as genial in private
as he is amusing before the public. During
our cononversat'on inquired as to his
physical health, and he replied that, not

what the remedy was, and he replied, "Su.
Jacobs OIL" I then learned from Mr.. Pas

Remedy an excellent preparation for the
cure or relief OF rheumatism,
and that it was about the
only thing used among professional people
for that distressing complaint. He took bot
ties of j. with him whenever he went travel
ing, and would not b. without it, and knew
taat it was very popular with number
of members of his own company. A con-
versa.ion held subsequently with various
membe rs of the organization revealed the
fact that st. Jacobs Oil had been perform.
ing most invaluable service for them in the
way of curing them of rheumatism. Nearly
every artist IN the troup used itand was en-
thusiastic in it's praise, and the writer was
really forced to the conclusion that Tony

valuable an article known and employed by
bis inimitably good company of performers,
for it enabled every one to be always in his
phase, thus insuring comfort to the manage

lie. Tony Pastor would certainly be in
trouble without st. Jacobs Oil. At least,
other managers whose artists have been

and st.. Jacobs Oil out of stock among the
