A New Bit Of R0guery.

An ingenious swindle, and one which
has been worked to great success, has
been practiced on unsuspecting trades
people, druggists and others in Balti-
more this week. The latest three trans
actions took place about duskon Thurs
day evening, and the victims were all
within short distance of each other.
About the time mentioned a well-dressed
young man, attended by an engaging
looking young lady, drove up in fine
buggy in front of well-known drug
store in North Baltimore. He did not
alight, but called loudly for the propri-
etor of the store. who went out to see
what was wanted. Then the genteel
young man, in hurried and breathless
way, explained that he was the son of a
well-known coal dealer with whom the
druggist was on very intimate terms.
The lady in tho carriage was his wife
and they were on their way to an en-
tertainment, when he had suddenly dis
covered he was without cent OF money.
Would the druggist kindly loan him ten
dollars, as he was in too great a hurry
to 60 all the way back home for some.
OF course the drugstore man would.
The holiness of the request and the APP
pearance of the young man were suifi-
cient, and the druggist went into ths
store, took ten dollars from the drawer,
returned to the carriage and handed the
young man the money.
After few hurried thanks the vehicle
was driven rapidly off. II stopped in
front of grocery store not more than a
block away The young man went
through the same programme and OBJ
tanned the money asked for. Then the
couple drove to another drug store near
the boundary and by the same operation,
except that tae young man represented
himself az the son of prominent man-
ufacturcr and the lady as his sister. tho
usual ten dollars was obtained. Other
places were similarly victimized. one
Baltimore street merchant losiag TWEEN
ty-five dollars, and it is thought that
the couple LETT Baltimore with several
hnndrsd dollars obtained from the con-
fding stogekeefaes. - Baltimore Sun.

A Remarkable Eycsight

1t is recorded by Humboldt that he
was travelling in South America under
conditions which rendered it necessary
for the party TO divide, and to reach
their destination by different routes.
AS he and those who remained with
him approached the appointed meeting
place, he said to the Indian guide that
he wondered what had become of the
others. The guide looked at him with
some surprise, and pointing across II
wide mountain gorge, one side of
which they were traversing, replied:
"There they are" Humboldt himself
could see nothing but rocks and vcrdure,
but ultimately, being assisted by the
guide as to the position of the other
party, succeeded in discovering them
by the aid of telescope; and then, by
making the guide describe the order of
march and the relative position of the
several individuals, obtained proof that
he actually saw them plainly with his
unaidcd eyes. An experience of equal
significance, if of less striking char
actcr, may be had in any Highland
deer forest, where deer, which are con-
spicious to the eye of the keeper, can
only be seen with difficulty and I'M
certainty and after much pointing out
of neighboring landmarks by visitors
who are habitual jewellers in towns. In
other words, the acutencss of sight of
the average citizen is much inferior to
that of the average Scotch forester;
while the acuteness of sight. of the
forester is probably much inferior to
that of the savage. People are too
prone to accept this as something
necessary or inevitable, and to think of
the forester or the savage as the pos
SCISSOR of some special acuteness which
has been conferred upon him by train
ing and practice, instead of thinking of
the citizen as a person who, by reason
of unfavorable circumstances, falls
short of the acuteness of vision which
he ought to possess. -LOndon Tines.

Against Insects.

Science has an amusing paper upon
lawsuits in the olden times against
grubs and caterpillars, and jewellers in
the Jersey marshes may well wish that
such could be enforced against mosqui-
toes. A jurist of the seventeenth con-
fury takes up the subject of such pro-
ceedings with calm gravity, and enters
protest against the want of legal ac-
curacy in the measures taken. He de-
clared himself panied by the lack of
knowledge displayed by the advocates
of accommodation Very amusingly
he concludes his protest by the follow
ing words, "But of what use is all this
against disgusting beastsp" Still ear
lier, in 1879. great plague of grubs
having devastated the fields in Switzer-
land, an advocate was selected by the
Bishop to pronounce an anathema on
the part of the people against the OBJ
noxious insects. Thus it ran: "Ye
hideous and degraded creatures. Yc
grubs There was nothing like We in
the ark of Noah. | command We one
and all to disappear, during the next
six days, from every part where food
grows for the use of man. If not obe6-
lent, enjoin you to appear the sixth
day before the Archbishop" Then n
process began and Judgment was given
by the Archbishop of Lausanne, who
accommodated the grubs with muclt
JUNCTION and condemned "all of thenl
except such parts as can be useful to
man.

"What's the reason so many En-

Mormonsp' said Castle Garder. Off
cial, in response to an inquiry. ''Be-
cause they won't have half chance to
get husbands in England; that's the
reason. Why, one of 'em was telling me
that, out of 100 women folks in her
native village between the ages of 20
and 35, there were husbands for only
Sc of 'em. Fourteen of the other "a
had owned husbands once, but they had
died. The remaining 30 never had any,

the glorious opportunities it afforded
them in a marital way, they became inn
pressed with the place at once; and
that's why they keep coming over with

Mr.. Blyth, of London, has new
plan for disposing of the dead. 1t is to
abolish all permanent cemeteries, and
allow each piece of agricultural land
to take its turn as receptacle for the
bodies of the dead. After five years us
a cemetery, he would use the ground
for agriculture on the theory of ro-
tation of crops. He remarked in his
argument that "bencath the waving
corn or the stately pines the remains of
the dead would be forever free from
dissertation.
