Topsy-Wopsy Business.

A man who probably hailed from
Buffalo played powerful mean trick
on a Detroit bridal couple at Niagara
Falls the other evening.
They went to hotel and registered
had supper, and then started out for a
night view of the Mighty Roarer.
They had not gone far when maj
called to them and said
"Have you just been married?"
''We have" answered the group.
''Going to stay here day or two?'
YES"
"Well, l want to say word to you.
l don't want any ducky -deary nonsenS,
around my house. L want no popsy-
wopsy business ON the veranda. Ivan

feeding each other at the table,
The groom let his arms fall from hi:
brides waist in slow and painful man
ner, and the stranger continued
The first time you call her peaches
and cream, or she calls you her darling
out you go!'
yves, sir"
''She's no sweeter than ten Thousand
other girls, and you're no more darl
ing than l am, and | won't stand love
sick nonsense"
He walked away with that, anC
people at the Falls who knew the bri
dal couple were amazed to hear them
address each other as Mr.. and Mrs.
and to see what precautions they tool
to prevent touching hands or betrayins
any symptoms of love.
They put in two wretched days, and
it was only as they were upon the poin
of leaving that they discovered how a
base villain had duped them.

And when daylight came, Genevieve
was far away, and no one ever saw her
afterwards.
Six months later Otis Vernon stood
before Augusta Carlyon, grave, eager,
earnest.
"lf you do not think me unworthy,
Augusta. l was sure / loyed-her-

a Young Girls Room.

A young girls room may be furnish
ed daintily and in exquisite taste at a
small expense. The chief outlay will
he for bedstead. This cannot be con-
structed out of pine board and a bit
of muslin, though many other things
may be; but a handsome painted bed
stead of blue and white is the first re-
quirement of this room. The floor may
be covered with plain white mating. or
of blue and white plaid, with soft rug
at the side of the bed; dressing-case
of white wood, covered with blue
silesia, with white wood waShstand is
also needed. This, like the dressing
table, should have the under part ell
tirely concealed by branches of the
silesia and muslin. These should he
gathered slightly at the top, so that
they will fall in graceful folds. The
curtains should he of the muslin, drap-
ed, and the bedspread and pillow covers
OF the muslin over silesia also. The
bedspread should, of course, lie smooth
ly over the bed, and be tucked in at the
end and sides, unlike the lace ones,
which hang over. The muslin OF the
pillow-covers may be shirred at the top
and the bottom, if you like the fnll
look the shirring gives; they need, in
this case, no edges, and in fact when
put over the silesia plainly, do not trim
them with lace, unless you add this
adornment to the curtains, but finish
with plain hem. With the various
trifling ornaments a young girl gathers
about her, the room will receive any
thing it may need in color to brighten
it. A room so prettily furnished may
be a real help to girl; it will not be
easy for her to cultivate dlsorderly
habits there, for the effect she has
worked to create would be entirely
marred,

The old ship New Orleans is soon to
be sold by auction. The house which
was built over it at Sackett's Harbor,
New York, at the close of the war of
1872 was blown down three years ago.
Since then the vessel has been the sport
of storms. To-day it stands a sad,
weather-beaten object, awaiting its final
destruction at the fall of the auctioneer's
hammer. Many of its timbers have
walked off in the shape of canes. The
ship was built in sixty days from the
time the timber stood in the forests,
and would have been launched in thirty
more had not peace been declared. All
the rigging was conveyed at great ex-
pense and under difficulties from New
York. There were no railroads, and
the Government road that ran out OF
and into Sackett's Harbor was a very
rude affair. The anchor chain of the
New Orleans, weighing from 5000 to
5000 pounds, was carried from Utica
on the shoulders of 300 men, who traced
their way by means of blazed trees. The
New Orleans was built as counter.
match on Lake Ontario for the British
ship st. Lawrence.

FOSSILS in China,

A writer In referring to fossils in
China, remarks that the Chinese have
never advanced theory to explain their
existence. In their books references
are made to fossil shells, crabs, fish,
trees, etc, but no attempt is made to
account for their occurrences in solid
rock. The little that is said is mostly
of the marvellous sort. Ammonites
are peti ified snakes: fossil brachiopodS
lamp shells-are called stone swallows
and are SAID to come to life and fly from
their hiding places at the approach of
wind and rain, changing again to stones
ON the return of fair weather. Fossil
fish appear and disappear at pleasure,
and their appearances prognosticates a
plentiful harvest and prosperous times.
One author supposes that the figures OF
birds, beasts and plants, which he had
seen on certain slabs, must be the work
of the gods or devils, for no human
hand could chisel anything so minute
and delicate.

The South.

Thirty years ago tine total value of
the Southern crops of cotton, tobacco,
rice, hay, hemp and sugar-cane was
Sl3S, ,6O5, ,723. The census report of
1880 shows the Southern farm products
were. in the last census year, valued at
S76O. .OOO, 900, one-third of which was
the value of the cotton product, which
remains the great staple of the South,
whose standing in the markets of the
world has not been affected by the East
and West Indian, the Brazilian and the
EGYPTIAN cultivation. Instead of send
inG all the cotton to New England and
Old England, the South to day is Ioom-
ing up as the seat of great cotton ma
nufacturing interest, so that the cheap
er or coarse grades of cotton cloth are
readily made for home consumption,
and are competing with the New Eng
land mills successfully.

a Lovers Revenge.

NJ. Francisque Sarcey has just ia
vored the public with dissertation on
the delicate subject OF professional Sc
crecy and the obligation it sometimes
imposes of telling lie. The circum-
stances of case cited by him in which
the seal of secrecy was broken are of a
very dramatic character. y lady whose
daughter was about to be married hav-
ing acquired Il suspicion that the ante
cedents of the fiance were not of the
most desirable character-that he had,
in fact, undermined his constitution by
early dissipation-called upon his me-
dical adviser, DIR. Delpech, one of the
most distinguished Professors of the
Montpelier faculty of medicine, conf
ded her suspicious to him, and asked if
they were well founded. The Doctor
fenced with the question as well as lie
could and tried to avoidg giving direct
answer. The lady insisted. Il do not
address you as Il professional man, !"
she said, but ask you, as the father
of a family, would you give your daugh-
ter to this young MANI" Overcome by
this appeal, the Doctor gave reluctant
answer i'll the negative, and the mar
riage WAS broken OFF. Some DAYS after
ward the carriage in which the Doctor
used to drive to his class came to a
stand before the door OF the medical
school, but without either the physician
or the coachman, who were both found
lying dead on the road at some distance,
each with bullet lodged in vital
part. The circumstances of e mur-
der were shrouded in mystery for a
time; but eventually the dead body of
a young man, who had blown his brains
out, was found lying in room the WIN
dows of which looked up to the scene
of the assassination. IL was the body
of the young man whom DIR. Delpech
said he would not accept as son-in-
law; and there could, of course, be no
reasonable doubt that he was the aSSas-
sin.

It's a Wafer.

A few years since man of high re
spectability was tried on the charge o
forging will, in which it was discover
ed he had an indirect interest to larg
amount. Samuel Warren, the celebrat
ed author of the diary of a Physician,
was a sOciated with the prosecuting at
torney, and the case was tried befor
Lord Denman.
The prisoner being arraigned, and tn,
formalities gone through with, the pro
secutor, placing his thumb over tn,
seal, held up the will and demanded OF
the prisoner if he had seen the testatol
sign the instrument. to which h,
promptly answered he had.
And did you sign it at his request
as subscribing witneSs?"
Il did,"
WAS it sealed with red or black
wax?"
with red wax"
did you see him seal it with rec
wax?"
Il did,
Where was the testator when h,
signed and sealed this will?'
I'm his bed"
Pray, how long piece of wax die
he use?"
about three or four inches long,
who gave teStator this piece o.
wax"
Il did,
Where did you get it?''
From the drawer of his desk.'
''How did you light that piece oi
wax"
with candle :"
''Where did that candle come from?'
Il got it out of cupboard in hi:
rOom."
''HOw long was that piece of candle?'
Perhaps four or five inches long"
"Who lit that piece of candle?n
81 Lit it,
with what?''
with match"
''Where did you get that match?"
''On the mantel-shelf in the ROOM"
Here Warren paused and fixed his
large, deep blue eyes upon the prisoner.
He held the will up above his head, his
thumb still resting on the seal, and said
in solemn, measured tone:
"Now, sir, upon your solemn oath
you saw testator sign that will-he sign
ed it in his bed-at his request you
signed it as subscribing witness-you
saw him seal n-with red wax-a piece
of wax, two, three, or four inches long;
he lit that wax with piece of candle,
which you procured for HIM from a cup
board; you lit that candle by match
which you found ON the mantle-shelf?'
Il did"
''Once more, sir, upon your solemn
oath, you did?''
II did,"
''My Lord" exclaimed the triumph
ant attorney, ''it's a wafer.''

Some interesting tables have lately
been published of the gold and silver
coinage in France from 1895 TO the end
of 1SS2, rs also that of the bronze
money issued between 1852 when there
was new mintage) up To 1882. The
gold coinage during the period named
reached the sum of SIP, ,3i1 ,2OOf., .,
from which must be deducted the value
of the demOnetIZed pieces of 10f. and
5f., which amounted to II Us, ,260f.
The amount of gold pieces in currency
Was therefore :, S,6jl .264 ,3f0f.. of which

947 1907. of Of. The issue of 10Uf. and
5Of. pieces only dates from Louis Napo-
leon, and there have been no 40f. pieces
struck since the fall of Louis Philippe.
Gold coins of the decimal system were
only issued under the Republic between
1919 and 1851, but 2Of. pieces have been
struck under all the Governments since
Louis NspOleon's time. The total
number of silver pieces issued between
1875 and 1888 has been 5,5l9, $40, ,6l7f. =,
of which 1900, ,605, ,2i0f. were in Of.
pieces struck during the different re-
giBteS The First and Second Repub-
ncs only struck on pieces of IF, IT,,
Soc, 25c. or %. Since Louis PHILIPPE S
time no 25c. pieces have been issued,
but under Louis Napoleon and the En-
pire S.252, ,70Uf. worth of 2Oc. pieces
were struck. During the course of last
year 3,I52, 1U0f. i'll l0Of. gold pieces
were produced, together with l, 49,

coined up to january l, 1883, and de-
ducting the demonetized pieces, has

THERE'S littleuse indreaming about the man Of
the future for, for anything we know or can help
some hOrrd little teredO or other evil-minded in
sect may learn how to eat the silica gras-
ses, produce corn disease. and alter all human
destinies; but granting that present conditions
continue for thousand years, three changes In
man are at least within the range of possibility
The peoples, brought close by electric railways,
steamers, and education, will. in all human
probability, give up the prejudice of race, and
largely cross their blood. Past evidence shows
that when that occurs, as 1t did once In India.
the dark races give the white races their tinge,
but take their outline of form; and the
usual man would be well-fOrmed human being,
siighter and rOunder than the present European,
and with skin of a very light brown, dark eyes.
and hair uniformly black. Then the human race
will be crowded, and, being crowded, will have
nerce struggle for means, and in that struggle
will develop the enduring power of the China
man, the best f7piustriel of the world who will
work sixteen hours day, and put will into his
labor all the while. The slight, brown man will.
therefore, be very strong and industrious. And.
finally, he will have had thousand wears of
brain toll, will have begun to reject such toll in
self-defense, and will tend to intellectual uui-
escence. In short, he is much more likely to
resemble slightly handsomer and browner
Chinese than either the European of to-day or
Mr. Kay ROblnsOn's hairless, tOothless, club-tOed.
timd, and non-locomotive monstrOsity.
