Stylish Swallows.

- AoAhA sAAo VII Sity berglCh.J
7" My dear" said Mrs. Blank to her
husband, :" l see swallows are going to
be fashionable. A fashion paper SAYS:
sSwellows are the fashionable emblems
with Parisians just now for ornamental
travelling costumes and toilets for water
ing places, and when the Parisians have
them why we must have them too.n
Now you take my advice" REPLIED
Mr.. Blank, "and don't have ANYTHING
to do with them. They amt healthy
things to fool with" And Mr.. Blank
pursed up his brows as he thought of
the possible expense.
" But, my dear, they must look lovely
painted on buttons and dresses"
"They must, hey? Maybe you think
I look lovely"
well" snapped Mrs. Blank, firing
up, "you might if your nose wasn't SO
red."
"Juat SO, remarked MIR. Blank, "and
it's the swallows painted there that
makes it look so.'
And as Mrs. Blank founced out of the
room, Mr.. Blank sat back in his chair
with the complacent smile OF man who
has won great moral victory.

A FLOATING COFFIN.
The U. S. Steamer Shenandoah at Bos.
ton Awaiting officers and Crew.

BosroN, November 27.-The Adyer.
tiser says the United States steamer
Shenandoah, lying in the stream off the
navy yard, awaiting orders to sail, is
not likely to secure a full complement Of
officers, for almost every officer who is
ordered to her at once en-.
deayors to be relieved. Seamen do
not like the prospect of going
around the Horn in this vessel and their
feelings are greatly intensified by the
action of the officers. The sailors claim
the vessel is top-heavy and that they
are crowded together like sheep. Yes.
terday the executive officer OF the ship.
Lieut.. Commodore E. B. Thomas and
Lieut.. Lucien Finn were surveyed by
medical officer and on bis report will
probably be relieved. They have only
been aboard about a week and their
probable removal only makes matters
worse in minds of the sailors.

How She Got Married.
from the New York Times.l


The circumstances of somewhat ro-
mantle marriage in Yonkers got noised
about Yesterday, the details of which
show that little perseverance can ac'
complish q great deal. A little over
year ago Max Metzger, a German bar
Der, now in the employ of Jacob NJ.
Small, on Palisade Avenue, Yonkers,
came to this country. just before Ieav.
ing the old country, however, he made
the acquaintance of q pretty young Ger.
man girl named Rosa Worz. She at
once became very much attached to him
and it almost broke her heart when be
told her he was about to sail for Ameri.
ca. He gave her his address, however,
and they promised to correspond with
each other, which they did. She claims
he wrote her very loving epistles and
told her that if she would come to this
country he would marry her. She act
ed on this promise and came over.
When she arrived at Castle Garden she
sent telegram to him, but as he was
unknown to the telegraph agent, he
never received it. She then took the
train to Yonkers, and, arriving there
and peing unable to speak word OF
English, the policeman at the station,
seeing she was German, took her to
Henry Fieck's restaurant, where she
told her story. The police found Metz
ger and he went with them to Mr..
Fleck's, but refused to marry the girl
and denied he had ever promised to do
SO. He told her she was "too green "
yet; that she should get employment
somewhere, and after awhile, perhaps,
he would marry her.
She got employment in Herman
Kromlaut's house. One day, while
walking along the street, she met q
darby. She had never seen one before,
and giving loud scream, she darted
across the street and never stopped run
ming until she was out of sight Of the
cause of her alarm. A few days ago
she took her seat on bootblack's chair
to have her shoes blacked. While the
operation was going on man of middle
age drove up and she at once took q
fancy to him. They smiled upon each
other, and she sent for her friend, Mr..
Fleck, to act as interpreter, as the man
could speak no German nor she any
English. The result of the brief con-
versation between the pair, through the
interpreter, was that in about Is min
utes they were engaged and short time
afterward married, and she rode back
with her lord, whose name is Edward
Nodine, and whose home is on the
Grassy Sprain Road, little out of the
city of Yonkers. There they are now
living happily together, she doing her
talking in German and he in English,
but they manage to understand each
other. The procrastinating young bar
ber considers he is very much lef. out
in the cold. She affirms that she came
to this country to get married, and if
her first love would not take her she
would have another.

SOUTH A nERI AN GRAIN.

The New York World in an article on
the grain product of South America,
says: sour consul at Buenos Ayres
believes that the Argentine Republic is
to be one Of the great grain-producing
countries of the world. He estimates
the wheat crop Of this year at 10, ,5OO,-
600 bushels, more than half of which
will be surplus for export, and adds that
the surplus corn will amount to 5,OOO,-
600 bushels. The number of acres
devoted to. agriculture has more than
doubled in the last six years, yet there
are less than 100000 acres under cul.
tivation in the fourteen provinces, out
OF 300, 900, 900, the greater part of the
remainder being used for grazing cattle
or sheep. The republic has climate
that ranges from the sub-tropical to that
of northern Canada. Experiment seems
to prove that the pampas are remarka-
bly, fertile under cultivation and admir-.
ably fitted for cereal crops. Explora.
ton in Patagonia has revealed rich
meadows and valleys capable of sustain
ing millions of cattle and sheep. The
fertility of these lands will make them
hereafter, in the consul's opinion, the
granary and garden of the republic,
Several settlements have recently been
made on the Atlantic coast Of the pro.
vince, and the inhabitants are raising
wheat. We sometimes forget that Pata.
gonia lies in the latitude of the northern
half of the United States, while the cli-
mate Of the more important Argentine
provinces is that of the United States
below Mason and Dixon's line. The re-
pablo has only $4,000 inhabitants,
and most Of these are indolent and con.
servative, The number of immigrants
increases annually, however, and the
wealth OF the country's soil and mineral
deposits will certainly be developed in
the course of time. Itmay be, therefore,
that Consul Baker is justified in max
ing the prediction that at some time,
although not in the near future, the re-
public will contend with the United
States for a division of the export trade
in grain.''

A Rural Reporter On the Red Demon.

+
There is no more terrible cry than
that of "f fire !" ringing out on the start
led ear of night; even murder, with all
its hideous associations, does not arouse
us to sympathy or to action as does the
alarm that the red demon, fire, is loose
in our midst, licking up the pride of
luxury, the fruit Of toll, the scrapingB Of
avarice, and the savings of years. Such
was the cry that startled the Inhabitants
of our village on Friday morning at 3 40
o'clock. The alarmed citizens, men,
women and children, youth and age, wit
and beauty, strength and weakness,
hurried to the scene, and found that u
x. Cohrofh's stable was on fire. A val.
liable cow was dragged seemingly dead
from the flaming building, but afterward
recovered.

The Story of the Book AGENT.

a Hhlladelphla book agent lmportuned
James Watson, rich and close New
York man, living out at Elizabeth, un-
til he bought book-the "Early
Christian Martyrs" Mr.. Watson didn't
want the book, but he bought il to get
rid of the agent; then taking it under
his arm, he started for the train which
takes him to his New York office.
Mr.. Watson hadn't been gone long
before Mrs. Watson came home from
neighbours. The book agent saw her,
and went in and persuaded the wife to
buy another copy OF the same book.
She was ignorant of the fact that her
husband had bought the same book in
the morning. When MIR. Watson came
back from New York at night Mrs. Wat
son showed him the book.
81 don't want to see it, said Watson,
frowning terribly.
"Why, husband ?" asked his wife.
Because that rascally book tgent
sold me the same book this morning. Now
we've got two copies of the same book
two copies of the Early Christian Mar
tyrs,' and"
"But, husband, we can"
"No. we can't either?' interrupted
Mr.. Watson. "The man is off on the
train before this. Confound it! I could
kill the fellow. T."
"Why, there he goes to the depot
now," said Mrs. Watson, pointing
out of the window at the
retreating form Of the book agent
making for the train.
But it's too late to catch him, and
I'm not dressed. I've taken off nv
boots, and"
just then MIR. Stevens, a neighbor
of Mr.. Watson, drove by, when Watson
pounded on the window-pane in a fran
tic manner, almost frightening the horse.
"Here. Stevens" he shouted.
"you've hitched up; won't you run your
horses down to the train and hold that
book agent till 1 come? Run! Catch
i'm now !"
"All right" said Mr.. Stevens, whip
ping up his horse and tearing down the
rond.
Mr.. Stevens reached the train just as
the conductor shouted call aboard |"
Book agent" he yelled, as the
book agent stepped on the train.
Book agent! hold on Mr.. Watson
wants to see you"
Watson? Watson wants to see me p"
repeated the seemingly puzzled book
agent. "Oh, I know what he wants |!
he wants to buy one of my books; but I
can't miss the train to sell it him.
If that is all he wants, I can paw
for it and take it back to him, How
much is it? ?"
"Two dollars for the early Christian
Martyrs said the book agent, as he
reached for the money and passed the
book out through the car window.
just then Mr.. Watson arrived, puff.
ing and blowing, in his shirt sleeves.
AS he saw the train pull out he was too
full for utterance.
Well, I got it for you, said Stevens:
"just got it and that's all"
Got what 2" yelled Watson.
Why, got, the book-.Early
Christian Martyrs and
neutrality-suspicious. r. moaned
Watson, as he placed his hand to his
brow aud swooned right in the middle
of the street.

inhuman fiend apparently desirious of burning

pied as lodging house by Edward Bennett,
The flames were soon extinguishsd, and an
investigation showed that elaborate prepara.
tions had been made to burn the building by
careful arrangement of straw and shavings,
