Following the Mayor.

King Humbert once stopped for the night 1 in small village of Italy, the inhabitants re- l solved to send him deputation. The mav- or also suggested to present his majesty with the chief produce of the country, consisting of pineapples, figs and cream. The pineap- pies, however, were dispensed with, and each member was to carry figs and cream in silver basins.
 ''Now," said the mayor, with all the gray ity of office, ''you are not accustomed to ap- pear before these high personages, therefore let us have no nonsense do what you see me do, neither more nor less." The deputation was arranged accordingly. The mayor placed himself magisterially at its head, armed his followers, with & basin of figs in his left hand. and one of cream in the right. At this time 1t was the custom to wear boards. The door opened and the mayor repeated his caua tion, ''Neither more nor less, beseech youh There was step down into the room, but the mayor not thinking of it, the shock plunged his beard and face into cream ba- sin, and being very young, brought him up- on his knees, with his hands and basin under him, and his creamed face (richly ornament ed with well lathered and dripping beard) as 1t was imploringly raised towards the rep. resentative of St. Peter. The corporation, thinking this great matter of form, ducked their bearded faces, prostrated themselves on their marrow bones, and significantly cast half inquiring look at their leader, as though to say You sec we are all right" The king was at first (and well he might bel as- founded, but burst into as genuine fit of laughter as his lowest menial could have in dulged in while his officers, conceiving that the addressers meant merely to humbug his high mightiness, gathered up the figs and pei ed the body corporate most Justify. The ma yor hobbled out of the room as fast as he could, followed by his brethren, one of whom whispered to him :-'How lucky we didn't bring the pineapples; they would have bat tered our heads to a mummy''

Terrible Death.

A Brakeman Cut in Twain by the Cars
 Finding of the Coroner.
 The express freight train which left this city on Saturday, about 12 o'clock, for New York, had for it's forward brakeman Adelbert l.. Lyons, who was unmarried ad boarded at No. % Silver street, with Mrs. Edwards. When about half a mile this side of Milford he fell from the train and was literally cut in twain by the train, which passed over his body. He was missed from his position be- fore the train reached Milford, and men were sent back to find him. They found the re- mains in horribly mutilated condition, and Conductor Lockwood's train being signalled the remains were placed in the baggage car and brought to this city and taken to the morgue. Coroner Bollman was notified, and yesterday made an investigation. From what he could learn he became satisfied that the unfortunate man was passing from the top of one car to another and slipped and fell between the two. He concluded that the cause of death was purely accidental, and gave certificate to that effect.
 The remains were removed from the ! morgue to Blair's undertaking establishment | yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, to b' l prepared for burial.

Wet Wood and Coal.

From the American Agriculturist.l
 Burning wet or damp wood, or coal, in- stead of dry, is much more wasteful and ex- pensive than most people imagine, and the subject is worthy of attention, now, when we are using much fuel, and are-or ought to be providing supply of wood for the rest of the year, where wood is used. An extensive series of experiments, recently made at BocE- um, Germany, shows that six tons of finely broken dry coal gives as much heat as about seven tons burned as wet as it would be if water were dashed upon it and drained of for a short time. And this is the condition of much coal kept in damp vaults, leaky sheds, or out-of-doors. The lesson is obvious keep the coal in dry place and condition, and five to IA per cent less, according to it's fneness, will be needed then to obtain the same heat. The waste of heat is still greater in burning green or wet wood. The sap of water uses up-that is carries off in latent state-a very large portion of the heat produced by it's carbon, or it's dry material. As much man and team power is required to haul three or four cords of green wood as for six or eight cords of dry wood The lesson is |: cut the fuel, and split it as finely as it is to be used, in the grove; haul 1t home when well dried, and keep it in dry place. for use It will be worth far more for heating purposes than if burned green, or wet, or damp even. The only exception to this advice is, when by reason of easier hauling on snow, and on &C., count of the leisure of men and teams in winter, it may be expedient to haul home the green wood then but in all cases let it be well dried before it is used.

The Oyster.
The Natural Oyster Beds of Chesapeake
 Rav.

The Natural Oyster Beds of Chesapeake
 Bay.
 cry comes from Maryland as follows
 Unless the next Maryland Legislature does something to protect the natural oyster beds on Chesapeake Bay, 1t is thought that it will require but few more years of indis. criminate oyster catching to clean up all the oysters in the vicinity. What is doing the most damage to the oyster interests, accord ing to correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, is the taking of oysters from the Chesapeake waters to the New England States by large vessels, at the season when the oyster is spawning. Says the correspondent These vessels chartered for this purpose make their appearance here early in the spring, and buy from the tongers, pay ing them as much and sometimes more than they realize for their oysters from the packers here in the height of the season. The smallest oyster is the most desirable for planting, as they are taken East and bedded in their waters where they are permitted to remain about three years, and then taken up and sold at an enormous profit, because an oyster will treble in size, if properly planted, in three years. Usually the price paid to the tongers when taken from here is 20 cents bushel, and when they are sold, after being bedded for three years, they realize from 75 cents to $1 50 per bushel. Very few persons have any idea to what extent the taking of oysters from our waters to supply the eastern and northern markets is carried. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of oysters are annually taken by these vessels, and they never fail to put in an appearance each and every spring, and they are welcome visitors to the tongers, because they can work in pleasant weather, and they lie at anchor near where the tongers work. The eastern buyer does not demand the measure the packers of Oxford exact, and they pay cash for the oysters on delivery. This is all very nice for the longer as long as it lasts. The oystermen here do not realize the fact that they are killing the goose that lays the golden egg"

How Monkeys Are Taken.
The Fatal Avarfce of the Fathers of the
 Human Race.

The Fatal Avartce of the Fathers of the
 Human Race.
 An old, hard cocoanut is taken, says the London FIeld, and very small hole made in the shell. Furnished with this and pocket full of boiled rice, the sportsman sallies into the forest and stops beneath tree tenanted by monkeys. Within full sight of these in. quisitive spectators, he first eats little rice, and puts little into the cocoanut with all the ostentation possible. The nut is then laid upon the ground, and the hunter retires to convenient ambush. The reader may be sure that no sooner is the man out of their for the cocoanut. The first arrival peeps into it, and, seeing the plentiful store of rice inside, squeezes his hand in through the tiny hole and clutches handful.
 Now, so paramount is greed over every other feeling connected with monkey nature that nothing will induce the creature to re- linquish his hold. With his hand thus clasped he cannot possibly extricate it, but the thought that, if he lets go, one of his breth- ren will obtain the feast, is overpowering. The sportsman soon appears upon the scene. The unincumbered monkeys fly in all direc- tions; but the unfortunate brute who still will not let the rice go is thereby handi- capped, beyond hope, with @ cocoanut as large as himself-a state of affairs quite fatal to rapid locomotion, either terrestrial or ar- boreal. The sequel is that he falls an easy capture to the hunter, victim to his own greed. Even when caught he reads in the actions of his captors design to rob him of his rice and he clutches it all the harder, and the very first thing he does when the nut is cracked and the hand released is to cram its contents into his mouth. Thoughts of escape come afterward.
