The Cashier System.

An Ohio merchant, who kept three
clerks, each one of whom made his own
change and had free access to the money
drawers, was the other day asked by q
commercial traveller why he did not
keep cashier to receive all moneys.
"Cost too nIuoh," was the reply.
"But are your clerks honest2"
Perfectly honest"
'Haye you any objection to my trying
them?"
"Oertainly not; 60 ahead in my way
you wish."
The traveller went away, but in about
three hours he returned and said in a
loud voice so that all might hear:
when I was here this forenoon T
paid you a bogus quarter by mistake.
In case you find it in counting up to.
night. lay it aside and I'll redeem It"
Then the traveller, accompanied by
tho merchant, took position where the
back door and the alley could be kept
IN view, and in loss than ten minutes
out game the head clerk and emptied
handful Of silve- on the head Of barrel
and paved it over. The bogus quarter
was not there. He returned to the
store and ont came the second clerk and
went through the same program. He
was followed by the third, and after he
disappeared the merchant calmly OBJ
served: -
"I'vo been waiting 49, years for trade,
TO pick up. and rather think I'LL try
the cashier system,"

A Bravo Who Ate a Heart.

1t is a custom prevailing among the
PottawattOmie Indians, who are quar-
tered Oh reservation in Jackson county.
about fifty miles west Of here, that when
one dies his property and widow shall
go to his brother, if lie has one. This
custom is usually honored, but there
has just occurred a case in which the
widow objected N-Wahk-Tate, who is
not dead Indian, but is nevertheless
vouched for as agood 1ndian, happened
to be the surviving brother and being
without wife orSthild he urged his
suit, but was refused. From that time
he became changeH man and, follow
ing the evil examples Of his white neigh
bOrs, took to strong drink, persisting
therein until lie became deranged. and
became such & terror TO his tribe that
he was brought before the Probate
Judge at Holton, adjudged insane and
placed in the county Jail until the au-
thOrities at the State Insane ASYLUM
could be communicated with. While
on the reservation N-Wahk- Tate did
some curious things. Killing cat, he
placed it within the skin of wildcat
and carried it around in his breast until
he met some one, when he would shake
the dead animal at the person, which
would greatly frighten some of the more
superstitious Indians. A number of
years ago member of the tribe killed
a man and preserved his heart. This
article fell into the possession of N
Wahk-Tate, who, after becoming insane,
ate all Of it.

The Railroad Station LOafer.

OF all loafers the railroad station loaf
er is the most loaferishest. He Is noisy,
obtrusive, insolent. He sits down and
compels the passenger, the patron of
railroad to stand up. lie kicks your
valise as he passes it. He is never seen
without a mouthful Of tobacco, and he
always expectorates in the direction
either of your valise or your feet. He
stands in your way at the ticket office,
although he is never known to 20 any
where. He looks over your shoulder
at the telegraph window while you write
q message. He spars and "rastles' with
other hoodlums. lie loudly calls tho
attention Of his fellow-loafers to your
personal appearance and makes Hstage-
aside" remarks for you to hear as you
pass by him. IIe Ia utterly useless, in
finitely worthless and wholesome nui-
sance. When he Is under ii years Of
age he should be fogged and compelled
to go to school; between the years Of ii
and 81 he should be sent to the House
Of Correction or o reform School, and
after reaching the age Of 81 he should
be hanged. Off with his head. SO

at the Isangila cataract, the place where
l left the Lady Alice after her 1000
miles journey with me on the Anglo
American expedition across the Dark
Continent. The Lady Alice was no
more. She had been broken up by the
natives for the sake of the copper nails
in her sheathing." ,"
The third station, seventy-four miles
further on, was completed after great La
bor by May, 1881. Then Stanley fell sick
OF fever, and came very near dying. Now
his trouble with De Brazza began, but he
circumvented the italian by planting his
stations OH the south side. The natives
were very friendly, even at the place
where they fought him when he came
down the river III 1877. He procured
the cession of five acres of ground, and
by the Bird Of December had launched
the first steamer abo3a the. last falls.
The station, Leopoldville, is large one.
The principal house Is two storied, ninety
feet long, twenty-six broad and twenty
four high. There are two other large
dwellings, and a store-house sixty feet
long and twenty wide, with 113 more
humble cottages. The location is in the
midst Of a large population, and the
houses are surrounded by fields of grain
and fruit. When this work was COM
pleted Stanley resumed his old work of
an explorer, and went up the Quango or
Kwango river, the great affluent of the
Congo from the SOUTH, a distance of $50
miles. 1t was navigable still further,
and on proceeding few miles he came
upon a lake seventy miles long and from
six to thirty miles in BREADTH. This he
named Lake Leopold. The expedition
suffered good deal from bilious attacks
and rheumatism. Having established
his fifth station at Malebu, he felt that
his work was done, and moved toward
the coast. At Manyanga he encountered
the chiefs Of the English Baptist mission,
who had been driven from Stanley's
Pool. He gave them good many direc-
tions as to the best points to occupy, and
letters to chiefs Of stations bespeaking
for them hospitality and assistance, and
then took his leave, probably final one,
of Africa.

Or. Jones' Mistake.

Old Noxon used to have O row with
his wife about three times week. He
got cranky and made up his mind to
shuttle off so he filled up with laudanum
and went to bed. The old lady went to
screaming, and as fast as the neighbors
came in sent them off after doctor.
Some Of them went in one direction and
some in another, and it wasn't long be-
fore the doctors began to congregate.
Smith got there first and looked the old
man over. "Dead," says he, and he
went away. Then Brown came in.
Dead" says he. Jones was the third
one in, and he rammed stomach-pump
down the old mans throat and pumped
up the drug store. Then he reversed the
action Of the pump and flooded the old
man with water, and, after sloshing him
around for awhile-same as if he was
rinsing out cider barrel he pumped
out the water and then flooded him again.
Noxon wasn't in the habit Of taking so
much water in his'n, and pretty soon he
began to gasp and kick. Before morn
ing Jones had him all right, and went
away feeling dead sure that there was
but one flrst-class doctor in the world.
A few days afterward he presented his
bill. "What's this for ?" says old
Noxon. 'For saving your life the other
night" says Jones. "Well, I didn't ask
you to. never employed you, and I'll
not pay 1t. You'd no business coming
in here and jamming your old pump d ,w n
my neck. Brown is my family physician,
and I'll not pay anybody else," says old
Noxon. Soaway went Jones to Browns
office, and tried to get him to induce old
Noxon to pay the bill. "Jones," says
Brown, looking out over the top of his
spectacles, I never thought you was a
bad sort of fellow, but you've done a
very foolish thing, and 1t serves you right
to lose your bill. Its a good lesson to
you, and hope you'll profit by it. Didn't

Jones. "Didn't Smith say he was

You had no right to say he wasn't, When

Meat Bread.

M. Scheurer-Kestner hes discovered
the remarkable fact that the fermenta-
tlon OF bread causes the complete diges-
ton of meat. He found that becfsteak
cut into small pieces, and mixed with
flour and yeast, disappeared entirely
during the process of pnification, it's
nutritiYo principles becoming incorpor-
ated with the bread. The meat would
also appear capable of preservation for
an indefinite period in it's new state, for
loaves of meat bread made in 1873 were
submitted to the French Academy Of
Science, when not trace Of worms or
mouldiness was observable. At the
beginning Of his experiments, M.
Scheurer-Kestner used raw meat, three
parts of WEIGH, finely minced, he mixed
with five parts Of flour and the same
quantity Of yeast. Sufficient water was
added to make the dough, which in due
time began to ferment. After two or
three hours the meat disappeared, and
the bread was baked in the ordinary
manner. Thus prepared, the meat bread
had a, disagreeable taste, which was
avoided by cooking the meat for an hour
with sufficient water to afterwards
moisten the flour. The meat must be
carefully deprived of fat, and only have
sufficient salt to bring out the flavor, as
salt by absorbing moisture from the air
would tend to spoil the bread. A part
of the beef may be replaced with advan-
tage by salt lard, which is found to i'm
prove the flavor. The proportion of
meat to flour should not exceed one-half,
so as to insure complete digestion.
Bread made with suitable proportion
OF veal is said to furnish excellent soup
for the sick and wounded.

Sulphur Fumes.

Certain paragraphs are now being
freely copied in the New York press in
regard to the health-giving properties Of
sulphur fumes emanating from manu-
factories where particular chemical pro-
ducts are madc. 1t is quite desirable,
we arc told, "to have sulphur fumes in
the neighborhood," "and that such vapors
ought to be regarded as blessings in
disguise. According to the testimony
or unbiased persons, ever since they have
been living in the proximity of tho es-
tablishment from which the fumes arise
they have never suffered from coughs
or colds. Some of these disinterested
witnesses, persons suffering from pull
mOnary diseases, We are Informed, have
moved to the sulphurous regions and
have been benefited by the change. But
all this proves nothing, save that sui
phur, when absorbed into the human
system, shows certain effects. 1t is all
very we'll, when q person has a cold in
the head, to snuff sulphur fumes, and
thereby receive some relief, for the pro-
perties Of this substance are quite we'll
known. 1t is quite probable, too, that
If man subject to peculiar skin dis
ease were to work in sulphur factory
his cure would be rapid. But it is q
case where tho cure might in time be
worse than the disease. 1t is not Il
question Of quality but Of quantity.
Sulphuous acid in the air---for in that
condition it Is always produced in guam
tity when sulphur is burned-is not an
innocuous substance, but very danger
GUS and corrosive, and is quite as de-
structiye Of animal tissue as sulphuric
acid. There are innumcrables lesubstahces
which, If taken occasionally or in small
doses. can do no harm, but when alb
sorbed in wholesale way, and for q
long time, they simply kill.

I had to do was to keep clear of scandal,
maintain my self-respect, and 60 on in
my quiet way. But even that was not
permitted to do. The low comedian is
always popular member of a company,

1t came from men who had no ladies

to my senses. I was no longer modest

WAITING.

Waiting while the shadows gather,
And the sunlight fades away;
While the tender cleaning deepens,
And the golden turns to gray.
Watching while the starlight quivers
Brightly in the heaven above:
am waiting for her coming,
Waiting, watching for my love.
Listening for the wcll-known football,
And the voice whose loving tone
Sweetly bids me cease my waiting,
Watching, listening for my own.
Lingering still among the shadows,
AS they deepen on the beach,
Hearts exchange in sacred stiffness
Thoughts that would be soiled by speech.
Thus in perfect love and trusting,
Winged moments pass away;
TIL the holy, star-crowned night is
Sweet to lib as golden day.
And as tenderly the cleaning .rr...aa.. ....
Gathered on the brow Of day,
God shall keep her, God shall bless her,
When life's golden turns to gray.
