Whistling Aceompaniments.

Another not entirely new, and to me
quite pleasing, fashion | enjoyed short
time ago at an evening party, says New
York correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Enquirer. A pretty young lady was
sitting at the piano playing an accom-
paniment to which she whistled with
exceeding cleyerness n lively air, follow
ing the notes as precisely as in singing
Is the accomplishment-for it certainly
is one to whistle peffectly-much in
vogue in Cincinnati? 1t is said to be
growing in popularity here with violin,
guitar and banjo playing. There are
schools, and teachers who give lessons
"a pleasant task one would think to
teach pretty lips how to pucker-at the
houses of the pupils; two young ladies
will whistle a duet to piano accom-
pauiment, or a Guartete of ladies and
gentlemen. The old adage of Growing
hens, etc, viii certainly sink into dis
use. There is all the sweetness of Il
bird in the trill and MARBLE Of a we'll
executed whistle by a pretty girl. and
fascia alton beyond comparison in the
ripe red lips SO archly ptirs.,d. For the
parlor and adjacent neighbo1s it is far
less distrsetiur than the squeak of
fiddle or the high Staccato oi an anna

Something Better Than Railroads.


During a Western trip of one of New
York 5 railroad kings, made last year, it
became known through the passenger
coaches that his private car was attach
ed to the train, and as the conductor
entered one of the coaches a man from
Northern Indiana beckoned to him, and
asked:
us Mr.. Gould's car with this trainP"
Yes, sir.
lis Mr.. Gould in that carp
'''He is.
"Can | go in and see him?''
If you can get in
well, III try said the man. as he
rose up. I've got model here of the
smartest, cutest and best washing-ma-
sheen ever invented, and if Mr.. Gould
will drop his railroads and take hold OF
this with me, I'll warrant him steady
income, after the first year of forty dol
lars 4 week.
He didn' f succeed in entering the car,
and that may be the reason why Mr..
Gould is still in the railroad business

An Asi3sic japanese Thief.

OEe mnrainr. having risen earlier
than usual, ! took my seat by the grated
window of ray chamber and watched
the paSscrs Presently, a gentle-faced
old lady, followed by L dog. came in
sight. encountered a friend, bowed low
and began an animated conversation.
While they were thus employed, a kami-
kudzu-hiori stealthily approached. and
after striking the dog upon the head,
picked up the insensible creature with
his sticks, threw it into his basket and
covered it with the contents, then cool
lv proceeded to examine some rubbish
deposited by the wayslde. In few
moments the old lady missed her pet
aud began to cali for him; meanwhile
the paper collector continued his occu-
patton IN an unconcerned manner, as
as thn.t.sh guiltless Of the theft.
HIVE You seen my beautiful little
dpg?' inquired the woman, regarding
him stispieiously.
Dog, dog?'' he answered, bowling
servilely Honorable lady, do you take
me for a thief?"
YES; / believe YOU have stolen him.
she Indignantly replied. II suppose you
want to make a few cash by turning his
beautiful skin into drumhead.
Honorable lady, You are indeed mis-
taken. murmured the rascal, shifting
the basket to his back, crouching TO the
ground and bowling his head Al

kudzu-hiori, lam strictly honest. have
not set ewes on your amiable animal. Ii
YOU viii describe him and tell me where
You live [ may meet him in my walks,
when | viii restore him to you.
My little Chin has a black and white
coat, and wears red and yellow cotton
frill around his neck. Although you
pretend to be so innocent, | believe you
know something about him.
1.-The gods will bear witness to my in
nocence, murmured the rascal, with
face close to the ground. 1T is hard
enough to be poor, without being charg-
ed with dishonesty
While he was speaking, the animal
recovered its senses, wriggled from be-
meath the paper scraps, leaped upon the
thief's back and barked at his overjoyed
mistress, who taking him in her arms,
uttered shriIl cries of ssPolicer'
The kami-kudzu-hior arose hurriedly
and was darling off when he ran into
the arms of a haired, spectacled
policeman clad in a tight blue foreign
uniform. who had been attracted by the
woman S EdaOdrd Green.

H Annlnrizad.


When you have crowded six men and
two women into n Virginia stage coach,
to bump over mountain roads for thirty
six miles, YOU can't ask much more of
human nature. We were not only
packed like sardines, but one had to
ride on the box with the driver and the
weather betokened rain. 1t was agreed
that we would fight to the death sooner
than let another passenger aboard, but
just before the stage started up drove
two men, and the driver of the stage OPP
ened the door and whispered:
Ladies' and gentlemen, them two
men are Col Skinner and Judge More
house, and they are going down the
road TO fight duel. Under any other
circumstances | would not ask you to
make room.
Every one of us was opposed to duel
ing, but not growl was raised Anoth-
er man got up with the driver, the bag
gage was restored, and the two duelists,
each looking very grave and deter
mined, crowded in. For the first five
miles not word was spoken, and then
an Ohio man beside me carefully whis-
pered:
Isn't it about time they reached the
spot?'
Another five miles was passed, and
then one of the women ventured to re-
mark that it was an awful thing to fight
duel. 1t began TO rain. and the other
woman observed that both duelists
would probably catch their death colds,
even if neither was shot.
Every time we came to a piece of
woods we expected to see the two men
get out, but one fell asleep after an hour,
and the other was busy with a book. AT
length, after every other passenger had
repeatedly winked st me to go ahead.
/ leaned over and asked:
Judge, how much further is it to the
grounds?'
What grounds?'
Where you are to fight duel.
Il have no duel on hand.
..Why-why, thought you and the
Colonel were going out to fight duelP''
ssOh, no. no. l called him liar and
he challenged me, but | apologized over
two weeks ago, and we are now going
up into the mountains to buy sheepie
There was some talk of licking the
driver, but as the women wouldn't turn
in and help us. the idea was gradually
out of us.-M. Quad.

A Thin Reed in a Woman,s Dress.

The dresses of early DAYS were MAIN
~ OF calico. A silk dress was almost
an unknown quantity. No girl of to-
4 day would consider herself well dressed
| unless she was surrounded by at least
| ff0m sixteen TO twenty yards of single
| width material. Eight yards were then
| sufficient TO make even the most fastidi-
! Gus girl happy. Oyerskirts and plaits,
and fiounces, and polonaises, and puffs,
and Fittings, and side panels, and trim
mlngs and frlnges, and such gew-gaws
were unheard aud unthought of. The
waist was made plain. Five breadths,
each full yard wide, We're sewed to-
| gether side by side, leaving the top and
bottom of the proposed dress of exactly
| the same width. diameter and circum-
| ference. just imagine it. Girlsl Fifteen
feet of dressi Then the upper part that
which was to encircle the waist was
gathered and tackled fast to a belt, the
gathers of the same width, depth and
thickness at all points around the waist,
which, If it did not add to the symmetry
OF the prospective wearer, must certain
~ have rendered less chilling the hard
winters which the old folks love 10 talk
about, and, AS one old lady put it,
made waist belle its name and look
like bale of hay tied in the middle
Didn't the skirt-ffteen feet of skirt
sag around the feet?' asks belle of
tO-day.
No.
There is destiny which shapes our ends
Rough new them as we may,
Or words to that effect And there was
destiny, in the presence of long,
thin, pliable piece of reed, that shaped
the ends of those dresses. This reed or
rattan was run through n hem on the |
lower section of the skirt, which gave |
the latter rounding. voluptuous, healthy |
appearance ike unto the neither ends of |
a molasses barrel. Indeed. the writer |
is informed that it was no uncommon |
thing for girls, when these reeds would |
become fractured or dielocated and |
thus be compelled to suspend business,
to psice in their stead barrel, and even
hogshead hoops to keep the skirts at a
respectful and fashionable distance from
their ankles. 1t is to be presumed that [
while these circus things We're consid-
cred just the thing by the girls. they
must have met with objection from the
fellows who were compelled to do their
counting in another county.

The Atnosnhara in Mexico.

The strangest feature of Monterey to
Northern eyes is the elearness of the
air, suclsas that which made me, as
stood on the Mount of Olives, think the
Dead Sea within an hours walk, though
/ found it a days ride. Among the
strange aerial phenomena here / class
the foot hills standing out soprominent-
~ that you think yotl can see round
their corners and into the interspaces
between them and the secondary ranges.
The most distant peaks, too, seem press
ing forward TO peep over the shoulders
of those nearer. Everywhere the lights
and shades contrast no less than those
of electric iliuminators. On the whole.
the atmospheric brilliancy surpasses
whatever is known in the North as much
as our Northern Sky surpasses the Lon
don fogs, where men are forever doubt
full whether their celestial luminary is
the sun or the moon.
