How to Travel Without a Ticket.

A Traveller writes to London
Truth: " Perhaps the following story
may be interesting to some of your
readers if they ever should be under
necessity OF travelling without ticket:
The other day, on the--Railway, a
man got into one of the carriages and
presently began talking to fellow-pss-
senger. After q time he asked the gen.
tlemai whether he had heard the story
about how man travelled without a
ticket. The gentleman said he had not;
SO the man asked him to lend him his
ticket, that he might show him how it
was done, and began fiddling about with
it, but pretended that the story had
slipped out of his head, but that he
would be sure to remember it soon.
After time the train got near London,
and as the man still could not remember
the story he returned the gentleman his
ticket. This struck the gentleman as
being very curious, and so he watched
the man. Then the man got to the bar
1ier and was asked for his ticket he said
he had given it up, but the ticket-co
lector denied it, and after q. good deal of
alteration the man pulled some silver
outof hispocket and was about to pay for
hisfare when he suddenly said (produc-
ing small piece of ticket that he could
prove that he had given up the ticket,
because he remembered playing about
with in the train and tearing off small
piece, and that If the ticket collector
looked he would find a ticket with the
piece torn off. On looking the ticket
collector found a ticket with piece
torn off, and OF course Immediately beg
ged the man thousand pardons,"

The BibIiophiIe.
(From the London Ttmes.)


One man fills many shelves with COM
mon books; another fills few shelves
with choice treasures, possibly with
treasures that he never reads nor means
to read. The true bibliophile thinks it
is a desecration to read his books; for
how, he asks, would Renouard's or
Charles Nodier's volumes be in the ex-
qnisite condition for which they are no.
torious if their owners had handled
them and turned over their pages as if
they were like any ordinary magazine :?
The JOY of possessing an uncut "Pas.
tissier Francais," or manuscript bound
as the book in Van Eyck's picture is
bound, is not, we fear, in the least con-
nected with the literary value of those
gems. The "Pastissier, indeed, is a
very ordinary little cookery book, but,
for some mysterious reason, it is the
most sought after of all the Elzevirs;
and the two uncut copies which came a
few years ago into the Paris market were
regarded with as much curiosity rs if
they had been pair of phnnixes. How
the craze for these and similar rarities
has lately grown in intensity and volume
is known to everyone who has studied
the records OF the Beckford and other
recent sales; end this, of course, makes
the formation of library of rarities. OF
the addition of rarities to existing libra
ries, more and more difficult.

BRAN as it is now made consists
almost wholly of the husk of the grain,
and is rich in oil and in phosphates.
But it is not so good feed as when the
inner husk OF the grain is mixed with it.
This is sometimes called sho.ts and
sometimes coarse middliugs, This
mixed with the bran makes an excellent
food, as it contains gluten and starch.
For daily COWS it is the best of all feeds
for producing milk, but for butter it is
better to mix third part OF corn meal
or cotton-seed meal or both with the
bran and middlings. moderate ration
OF this mixed feed is three pounds daily;
a full ration is six or eight pounds. It
will pay to use this even for COWS on
pasture when rich milk is desired, as it
largely increases the quantity of cream
IN the milk. 1t may be fed to the COWS
dry, or may be given to them with some
short grass or clover, moistened little,

without adequate mastication. The

and strawberries and white lilacs, and
though bread would sometimes burn,
and pastry fatty refuse to be flaky, and
though unused muscles sometimes
ached with the new work, vet the girl
kept up brave heart. The squire and
his wife were uniformly XII d, and the
latter, who had suffered as much from
lack of cheerful society us from any ply
sical cause, gradually grew stronger, and
would sit through the long summer fore
moons in the great airy kitchen, placidly
Knitting or pairing apples, and though
she sometimes looked wistfully after
Molly as she tripped from pantry to Gel
lar, and longed for the girlish figure that
used to fit about in the same wag, her
heart took great comfort in the bright,
cheerful stranger. And the squire, hear
ing the fresh young voice singing about
the house, would give great sigh for
the lost voice, but somehow the old
house seemed less lonely to him, and
after awhile his first question wouln be,
" Where's Molly2" The plain country
society readily took her in and considered
her high authority in the matter of
looping" OF overskirts and "doing
up" of hair, and at last no nomerry-making
was complete without Molly Perry.
Those OF you who have followed this
story in expectation Of some absent son
or nephew or younger brother of the
family appearing and taking Molly for
wife may as we'll stop here, for nothing
whatever of the kind happened, for the
squire and his wife had no sons, and
their nephews and brothers were all
married long before Molly's day. It is
true that some of the smart young farm
ers of the region round about tied their
horses occasionally at the squire's gate,
and it is equally true that Molly said no
to some of them, though they one and
al! swear by her.
This story is not written to induce all
clerks and shop-girls to rush into house.

A 6,000-Year- -Old-Snake.
IFrom the PhlIadeIphia Record.

"We want to see he big SNAKE"
Such was the request made of D. M.
Leinhardt, of Philadelphia, in explana-
ton of ring at the door. bell of his
residence. Entering the hall the spec.
tators beheld petrihed snake twelve
feet long and twenty inches in circum-
ference, weighing over 375 pounds.
1t was found month ago imbed6ed
in coal vein in one of the mines of the
Leonard Coal Company, in Center
County, Pa. The miner who ran across
the remarkable specimen of petrification
many hundred feet beneath The earth &
surface was thunderstruck at the dis
covery. and experienced something like
a cold chill down his back for the first
few moments after his pick had brought
to light the serpent's head. He called
his comrades and they aided him in dig
ging it out. 1t had to be cut into fifteen
sections before it was gotten out of the
vein. The snake is Of dark lead col
or. Its head, body and tail are Won
derfully we'll preserved, the outlines be-
ing quite distinct. 1t is somewhat fiat
tened on top, and through the center of
the body is ridge an inch in depth.
A well-informed naturalist declared
that the snake was fully 5000 years old
and belonged to a species now only
found in certain portions of Africa.
