Chronic Lassitude.

There are certain characteristics con-
nected with lazy man which are ad-
mirable. They excite in the twanging,
jingling breasts Of the nervously tidgetv
a feeling which borders on respect and
is akin to awe. Your double-geared
tidgety man will spin all day like top
on the identical spot on which he start
ed off after breakfast The man suffer
ing from chronic lassitude will keep
still, keep cool, keep in the shade. put
in full days work resting himself, and
arrive on time at sundown, cool, calm
and collected, without having once
sweat under the collar or laid a hair.
The professional lazy man seems to
eat. drink and sleep with as much gusto
and sang .troid as his fidgety brother
with the high pressure anatomy and
patent double-cylinder, fast, perfecting,
hygenic apparatus who gets hot in the
box and wears and grinds and cuts his
life away like piece of misfit machin-
cry. The fact of the whole business is,
the man of hustle and confusion wears
his life away for the want of the oil of
rest. The professional lazy man just
soaks along through this vale of tears
like handful of cotton waste in the oil
cup of a box-car axle.
We have not the least doubt in the
world but that we could be profession
al man and not half try. If we had to
try very hard it would break the spell
The charm would have flown, and
things would be sadly mixed The mot
to of the man afflicted with chronic las
situde is, ''Give US a rest-or give us
death. :" The professional lazy man
gets to the graveyard on schedule time
the same as the nervously fidgety gen.
tleman who worries along the pathway
of life like Texas mule fighting sand
flies. And the moral of all this is to the
effect that it is far better to be born la
zy than crooked. deformed, and as Rich
ard the III. says, ''Sent into this breath
ing world scarce half made up" And
we have made up our mind that. to
slightly paraphrase Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, he who worries is worsted. and
ne who frets is fried.-Te1aS StttingS

To a Waterfowl.

Whittier, midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last steps OF
day,
Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pur-
sue
Thy solitary way?
vainly the fowlers eye
Might mark thy distant fIght fC do wrC r,
AS, darky painted on the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and sink
On the chafed ocean side2
There Is Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless coast
The desert and illimitable air
Lone wandering but not lost.
All day the wings have famed
At that far height, the cold, thin atmosphere,
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that foil shall end;
Soon shalt thou find summer home, and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall
bend
Soon, DER thy sheltered nest.
Thou'st gone the abyss of Heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart.
He who, from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy certain
flight,
In the long way that must tread alone,

How a Delaware Boy Had Fun.

The Rev. Mr.. Redman, pastor in
charge of the NJ. E. Church of this place,
some days ago called at a house in
town and offered to pray with the FAM
lily. Through door in an adjoining
room the preacher observed stout boy
belonging to the family with an old
chicken hen under his arm. On being
urged by the head of the family to re-
lease the hen and join in the devotions
the undevout lad showed no signs of
obedience, but stood stock still with the
old hen under his youthful arm while
the family, lead by the pastor, knelt in
prayer. When the devout members of
the family responded hearty amen
the attentive boy would pinch the old
hen, ,whereupon the tortured fowl would
utter mournful cry, to the great amuse-
ment of the boy. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that the prayer was a short one
and unmixed with the faith that re-
moves mountains (Det.) Jour

DnoS That RIM to Fires.

Mike j. Mcnamara. the driver of En-
gIne No. %, New York, owns nice lit
tie Skye terrier called ssNellie." She i
about 4 years old. She does not run to
fres, but has been taught to trip the lev
er which connects with the machinery
that uDhitches the horses and throws
open the doors of the engine house and
stable. At command the little dog jumps
up and catches a rubber ring in hel
mouth. The instant her weight pulls it
down the machinery is set in motion.
She then darts behind the two horses in
their stalls, which are situated on each
side Of the engine, barks at them until
they go to the pole, and then runs back
into the courtyard behind and drives
the horse to the hosecart. One of the
most famous dogs is Jack" a-3-year-
old coach dog, who was born and brought
up in the service. Jack goes to all the
fires. and is first to hear the buzz of the
telegraph. If up on the third floor
when the call comes he is the first mem
Der of the company down. He never
dresses, but goes to the fire as he is.
Jack always manages to run down the
first flight of stairs like an ordinary

the horses he invariably rolls down the
second flight. He drives the horses to
the pole and rushes ahead of them, bark
ing. Jack is known to thousands of
persons, and his barking informs them
that there is a fire in the district. He
clears the street for the engine better
than man could. Jack is always first
in the building. AT night he looks for
the freman's light, and often when the
smoke is thick and he cannot be seen
the men know he is about by hearing
him sneeze. Ii there is fire and the
apparatus does not go out Jack sits
down and howls in his disappointment
and cries as if his heart was broken.
Sometimes the horses step on him, but
he keeps on three legs and sees the fire
out, but often when he goes home he is
laid up for days. He has been known
to go up and down an iron fire escape
ard walk up and down a peaked roof
that was atan angle of forty-tive degrees.

The most costly pair of shoes ever
made in the United States were made
for young lady some years ago to wear
to fancy dress ball given by Mr.. Aug
ust Belmont. Those who attended the
bail will recollect them, as they were
the cynosure of all eyes. The girl who
wore them had most beautiful arched
foot. They were made of yellow Span
ish velvet, with high Louis XIV. heels,
and laced up the side. The eyelets for
the golden cord to pass through were
trimmed with solid gold, and to the side
OF each was set precious stone, first
ruby, then sapphire, then an emerald,
then an opal, and over again in the
same order. The top of the shoe was
finished in the same fashion, and in
front were sixteen tiny gold chains,
caught by cluster diamond pin. The
girl s mother, two aunts and grand
mother all gave up their jewels and had
them taken out of the settings for the
whim of this beauty, who married well,
long ago.

In the forests of the islands cOnStitut-

In the forests of the islands constitut-
ing the Indian Archipelago is found
curious flying animal that forms tn
connecting link between the lemur ana
the bat. The natives call it the colugo
and also the ''fying-fox, but it is NOR.
like flying monkey, as the lemurs are
these animals sleep in the daytime,
hanging from the limbs and branches
of trees, head downward; but as even
ing comes on, they sally forth, often do
ing great harm to the fruit on the
neighboring plantations. In some parts
of Java they are so numerous that it is
found necessary to protect the fruit-trees
with huge nets. The extent of theil
flights through the air is something as
tonishing. They sometimes drop to tn,
ground and hop along with a shutting
kind of leap, but if they are alarmed,
they spring to the nearest tree and in a
moment reach its top by series OF
bounds. Out upon the branches they
dart, and with a rush are off into space.
Sailing through the air like some great
bird, down they go obliquely, swift as
an arrow, hundred and fifty feet OF
more, rising again in a graceful curve
and alighting safely on distant tree.
In these great leaps they carry THEN
young, which cling to them, or some
times follow them in their headlono
flight, uttering hoarse and piercing
cries. The colugos live almost exclus-
lively on fruit, preferring plantains and
the young and tender leaves of the CO.
coa-palm, though some writers aver
that they have seen them dart into the
air and actually catch birds. The flying
iemurs are perfectly harmless, and SO
gentle as to be easily tanned. They
have lovely dark eyes and very intelli-
gent and knowing faces.-C. +. Holder,

(If The Woman-Kind.

The irivolity of woman as well as her
mental inferiority is illustrated, says the
Boston Transcript, is an incident re-
ported in the New York newspapers, as
follows:
Mrs Susannah Taylor, in the Essex
Market Court, charged her husband with
having called her vile names, struck her
in the face and put her into the street.
He was fined $40. The prisoner went
through his pockets and pulled out

said the judge. ''Get it from your wife.
You've beaten her, but like most wives
she'll, no doubt, take pity on you" "
Taylor, led toward the prison, was met
by his wife, who handed him IS.
Il can't bear to see him locked up" she
said. her eyes filled with tears. Taylor
took the money rudely, paid his fine,
and then said to her, roughly: This is
the last time you'll see me. I'll take
good care to leave the city and you to-
night" The woman drew the little
child who accompanied her to her breast
and kissed it tenderly, but uttered 10
protest against her husbands latest act
of unkindness.

THE GREATEST AMUSEMENT ENTERPRISE OF
THE AGE--wHAT MAY BE EXPECTED

THE GREATEST AMUSEMENT ENTERPRISE OF
THE AGE--wHAT MAY BE EXPECTED
TOUR IN FOREIGN LANDs-S2,-
600, 900 INVESTED.
Of late there has been more or less
controversy as TO who is the greatest
amusement caterer in the world, and the
result has been to point out W. w. Cole
as the one great Caesar of the Show
Kingdom, and his recent successful tour
III foreign lands, and triumphant return
to America, after journey of over ~,
600 miles by land and sea, seems suflici-
ent to warrant this million rendered
verdict. Mr.. Cole has recently added to
his mammoth circus, menagerie of train
ed animals and great congress of wonders,
all the strange and striking features
possible to discover during his recent
tour of the world, and it is now safe to
say that over $2,000,O00 is represented
In his gigantic combination, which is
replete in all its appointments, and
beyond all reasonable doubt the grandest
amusement enterprise on earth. In
order to deviate entirely from the usual
routine an enormous theatre stage is
erected and used for the purpose of
introducing series of performances
never before seen under canvas. A
$50, 1000 troupe of trick stations is one OF
the novilties. These veritable animal
actors have been trained TO degree of
excellence which dwarf to insignifcance
all previous displays of equine education.
A performing Spanish Bull is also intro
duced into the arena and executes q
number of feats that are truly remarkable.
A troupe of MaorIe war-dancers and real
Arabian athletics will be seen. Not less
than one hundred famous artists will vie
with each other for public honors, and
none but bareback equestrians are EN-
ployed, the list being headed by the
worlds undisputed champion bare back
rider, Mr.. James Robinson. One of the
most thrilling sensations is a troupe OF
aerial bicycle riders, who hazard life and
limb upon single cobweb wire stretch ed
from end to end of the vast canvass d
this they travel with bicycle while
perform number of incredible and
ing feats. Rival riders, gymnasts, an
erialists are introduced simultaneo usly
thus adding zest and fire to the perform
ance. In the menagerie will be seen the
largest and best collection of rare animals
ever owned or transported by any organ
Ization. The entire show will visit
Manitowoc Thursday, June 21, and we
opine that it will produce lasting i'm
preston by its extreme immensity.

John Mccullough and J. Wilkes Booth

John Mccullough replied to some
questions | addressed him here during
last week, as follows: 81 presume

say: John, you don t want to be bored
with those flats. Come alongn think
the simplicity of my devotion to the
stage and my desire to rise on it saved
me from his confidence. He saw no po-
litical mettle in me. His own tempta-
ton sprang, perhaps, from not loving
his art enough to be satisfied with it.

To look at these queer irregular blue
flowers, growing on long and hand
some spike in the old-fashioned garden
border, nobody would ever dream of
saving that they were in reality altered
and modified buttercups. And yet that
is just what they really are, with all the
marks of their curious pedigree still
clearly impressed on their very form.
Pull one of the blue blossoms off, and
pick it carefully to pieces. and you will
see how strangely and profoundly it has
been distorted by insect selection.
Monk s-hood is most essentially a bee
flower. and in examining it we see the
results of bee action plainly set forth in
every organ. Ii we pick common
meadow buttercup for comparison with
it, we shall be able to see exactly where
in the two flowers differ, as well as why
the one has gained an advantage in the
struggle for existence over the other
