A Funny Mistake.

Some time ago an editor had what
was called "a cystic tumor" in his
throat, and one Of his contemporaries
stated that "Mr. Blank is suffering
from sciatic tumor on his neck" OF
course this was All error; but greater
error is the mistaken idea that pre-
walls among some people that sciatic
pains cannot be cured. Not only
those pains, but Rheumatism, will
yield to the action of Salicylica, one
Of the most reliable remedies of mod
ern times. a1ml

Two painters on scaffold, this
morning, created some excitement by
their actions. They threw down old
boards, plunged blocks into the street,
and rushed about awhile as if gone
suddenly crazy. 1t appears that they
had just been set to work on the job
by contract instead of days pay, and
proposed to do three days work in
one.

AN AMPHIBIOUS MONSTER.

Chinatown In Fever Of Excitement!
The Sacred Precincts Of the joss
House Invaded, and Oriental Images
Of Great Value Destroyed.
Early yesterday morning, just as
the God OF Day was tipping the hill
with its golden splendor-just as the
drowsy night watch was waking from
his armchair nap in the P X saloon, a
low, long murmur came up from the
heart of Chinatown-piercing shrieks
rent the air. For a second the guard
was paralyzed, but hastily collecting
his scattered senses, he sprang to the
Jail and summoned the day relief. All
was confusion! Guns and revolvers
were hastily snatched from their racks
on the wall. The guard massed on
the sidewalk in front of the Jail, and
moved on the double-quick, in two
sections, toward Chinatown, from
which issued perfect babel of bowls,
shrieks and curses. The town pre-
sented spectacle that will never be
forgotten by those who saw it. At
least two hundred Cinnamon, with
lighted flambeaux, and armed to the
teeth, were pursuing some hideous
shape that dashed among their cabins,
now jumping through a window, W
with its powerful fore feet MASKING
down door. The rattle of firecrack-
ers, the hoarse voice Of the TOM tom,
and the shrill screech of the hew-gag,
the helpless cry of the Chinese
women, and the shrek of terror of the
white debauchee, who, dropping his
opium pipe, with blanched cheek and
blood-shot eye, fed from the scene,
were sounds never to be forgotten.
No pen could do justice to the scene
On the roof of the Joss house Wun
Lung and Gin Sling We're adding to
the noise by calling on the Chinese
gods for aid. A platoon of police, led
by Ike Bingham, dashed down River
street, and were met at Galena street
by the force from Main street station,
who under command of Dave Bing-
ham and Frank Oliver, came rushing
on the scene with cooked revolvers.
AT the approach of the police the
people fled to the sidewalk, and
swarmed on the balustrades and YER
andahs. All was confusion. Wun
Lung sprang from the roof of the Joss
house and whispered in Bingham's
ear. Instantly the General shouted
for the line to form hollow square
and put the whole of Chinatown in
the center. This maneuvre was per-
formed splendidly, and with much
eclat. BY this time the Cinnamon
were surrounding small hut wherein
they had driven the object whose en-
trance into the town had caused all
the rumpus. The officers surrounded
the building, while few OF the more
venturesome peered into the window
on tip.,oe. There, standing i'll cor
ner of the room, and in undisputed
possession of the house, stood some
thing-part fish, part beast-with
open moth and glazing eyeballs. and
with an expression so hideous that to
gaze upon it for just one moment
would strike terror into the vitals of
the bravest. Charlie Furey, with
Judges Parsons and Lennon now
came dashing upon the scene, and,
without waiting to ask questions or
parley, burst through the door and
it's death was easy. 1t was Writ.

SPANISH SIGNATURES.
Some Specimens Of Chirography from the

happy.

Some Specimens of Chirography from the
Land Of the sombrero.
Texas siflings.
When person of even more than or
dinary intelligence examines, for the
first time, the signatures attached to some
of the old spanish archives, at San Anto-
nio, he is very much puzzled. Each sig
nature is accompanied by an elaborate
and complicated flourish that is utterly
unlike anything he has ever seen before,
and which is more in the nature Of a
Chinese puzzle than anything else.
One might suppose that the Spanish
official of a century ago was never allow
ed to sign his name except when he was
suffering from dclirium tremens. An
other explanation for the Spanish official
using up so much time and writing ma.
terial is that both were paid for by the
government, and hence it was a matter
of Indifference to him how much of them
he used. Some of the scrawls or -four
ishes look as if it was impossible for one
man to have made them, unless some
other man was pounding him on the
back while he wrote, or else the writer
whenever he was required to sign his
name, mounted a bucking pony, and
wrote his name while the animal was
trying TO stand on his head. The Off
cia's name was written without any care
whatever, but the complicated flourish,
or scrawl, was probably intended to be
the proof of the genuineness of the sig
nature, for it was almost impossible for
anybody else TO write it, A mere glance
at the flourish was sufficient for identif-
cation to most of the Mexicans to whom
writing was one of the lost arts.
We have before us an ancient archive,
the legal document changing the status
and name of the town of Fernando to a
| city under the present name, San Anto-
MO, and making it military headquarters.
The document bears the date of Novem-
Der Is, 1871, and is adorned with the his
toric signatures of Salcedo. Herrera,
Bracho, Neramend and Zambramo. The
body of the document, which is on coarse
but scrviceable paper, is written in re-
markably clear and even style Of pen
manship; has also the stamp of Carlos
~, King Of Spain.
Governor Salcedo, whose head stuck on
a pole subsequently adorned the Military
Plaza of San Antonia, has the most mod

Salcedo wrote his name:

A Little Bear story.
Mon,on (Mah.) Tribune.

A brother of c. A. Lamb, of this place,
who lives II miles east of here, recently
tracked bear into hollow standing
tree. Taking his boy, axe and gun, he
chopped the tree down, which as it fell
broke some distance from the stump.
Supposing the bear would come out at
the upper end, he stationed the boy a.
the stump, while he started for The other
end of the log. The boy stood until he
saw four bears coming out of the log, and
then concluding that all the bears in the
country had taken up their residence in
that log, he proceeded TO make himself
scarce in that vicinity in the liycliost
possible manner. Mr.. Lamb killed one
Of the bears the other three escaping,
one of them slightly wounded.

How u Dog saved n Tyrants Life.
Chicago Journal

A few days age, in response to tele-
gram, an insurance adjuster was sent TO
a southern city to dispose fire loss thus
reported. In his report of the adjust
ment occurs the following statement:
"The store insured had been closed at
the usual hour by the merchant, leaving
a dog in charge of the main room, where
was a lamp turned down low. In rear
room lay asleep Russian, rough fcl-
low, one of the exics lately come 10 the
country. This mans attentions to the
dog had been limited to kicks and blows
whenever the unoifendinc animal ven
turcd near. During the night the lamp
exploded, scattering the burning oil
about the room. The dog sought to
arouse the sleeper by loud barking, but
failing in this, he seized burning dress
in his mouth. and darting through the
fir. and smoke to the room where his
enemy lay, placed the burning garment
as near the bed as he dare venture. The
light aroused the man and saved his
life"

THE PINK OF FASHION.
Outlandish Styles In Vogue When Gray
Crowns Were Curly.
New York Evening Post.


New York Evening Post.
We saw a picture recently describing
,he style of dress worn by gentlemen six
ty-five years ago, and beside it was a wo-
man arrayed in the prevalent fashion of
that period.
To our eyes of to-day it would at once
be set down as caricature and a mon
strous. wicked caricature at that. But
the printed description which accompa-
MED the gravcr's art corrects such an i'm
preston
1t was an honest portraiture of the ac-
ceptcd style of the day. The man in the
picture was drawn as very tall and very
lean, lank gentleman, with his back to
the reader. His coat, the collar of which
was on a line with the top of the houl-
ders and tightly encircling the base OF
the neck, was fashioned with a waist
that reached no lower than the middle
of the back, from which depended two
scanty skirts which tapercd gracefully to
a point, nearly reaching the heels and
provoking the guess that the pattern of
the garment was suggested by partially
opened pair of BARRIERS shears.
The lower limbs were so tightly encIs-
ed in trousers or SO obscurely drawn
that the doubt remains whether the ar
tist had not forgotten to complete his
sketch in this particular, leaving a wide
margin for the on-looker's imagination to
fiji out at his leisure or discretion. Two
large buttons, which no doubt would
have shown as gilt metal had printers
ink permitted, showed where the waist
begun and the back ended.
The picture gave us a woman drawn af-
ter the Grccian type, with bend in it
which makes the fashion of a dozen
wears ago seem natural and far from an
extravegant or ungraceful curvature of
the body. The waist of the gown was
nearly on line with the arm-pits, and
the short kirt-bell-shaped and bal
loony-was a sharp reminder of the
widest days of crinolinc.
The sleeves of the dress were in keep
ing with the style of trousers supposed
to be worn by thf man beside her; and
the bonnet, which, unless the artist was
lacking in a sense Of proportion, occupi-
ed more space IN the world than the
wcarer, was of the coal-scut,le variety
that out-scuttled any specimen Of head
gear that the modern world Of fashion
has ever worn or witnessed.

He Can Walk.
Detroit Free Press

She inquired of three different persons
in the corridor of the postoflice as to
where the money-order department was,
and, not feeling satisfied with this, she
asked at both stamp windows. Then she
felt reasonably certain that she would
not go down cellar or up stairs in going
to the money-order room, and she timid-
ly entered the place and asked:

fore the writing suited her, and tried four
different pens before she found holder
of the right build and color.

stood at the window.

FRIED OYSTERS.
Detailed Directions for Something that lew
Cooks are Equal To.

Cooks are Equal To.
For this purpose each and every oyster
should be as large, plump and fat-fresh,
of course, not salt as you can procure.
Drain off their juice, put them in a
bowl, cover them with ice water, let
stand few minutes, then place them in
a colander and drain them. Dry between
two soft, thin towels. without pressing
them and lay upon moulding board
lightly coated with powdered cracker
dust, finely siftcd. Beat up to a thick,
rich custard as many eggs and an equal
measure of cream as you need for mois-
tening all the oysters, adding at the last
saltspoonful Of salt for every three
eggs.
Have ready a sufliciency Of finely
sifted bread crumbs, prcpai ed by rubbing
the heart OF stale loaf of white bread in
a towel and passing it through a sieve.
Dip the oysters one by one into the beat
en- egg and roll them in the crumbs till
covered in every part. BY no means fiat
ten them, but keep them a, round and
plump as possible.
Lay them on napkins and keep in n
cool place for half an hour. Again dip,
roll in crumbs and set aside for another
half hour.
Now lay them upon the wire stand, not
quite touching each other; set the stand
into deep frying pan nearly full Of what
ever frying mixture you use, which must
be boiling hot and fry quickly to deep
yellow color, but do not brown them, or
they will be tough and greasy. Lift the
stand out Of the pan, drain quickly and
serve the oysters on a hot white napkin
placed on hot platter and garnish with
sprigs of parsley or water cress, stuffed
olives and small bits Of lemon.

4 Wildcat's Eldc.

The Minneapolis Tribune relates that
one night recently a hunter residing near
Custer was aroused by an unsual noise
near his cabin. Taking his gun he went
ont to see what the trouble was, and no.
ticed deer at full speed with a wildcat
perched on its back and making frantic
efforts to cut the deer's throat with its
sharp teeth. The hunter raised bis gun
and fred. The wildcat instantly jumped
off the decrs back and made for its as
sailant. The man reloaded his rifle and
when the animal was within II or ID feet
of him he fired again and killed the brute.
Just as he fred the last shot the deer fell
dead but few PAGES from where the
hu lter first saw it.
