Driven OFF.

A night or two ago watchman on
one of the wharves saw young man
come rushing down in hot haste, stop
after peepipg at the dark waters for q
moment, he was heard to exclaim;
II called, but she was not in! I
wrote to her, but the letter was re-
turned unopened! 1t is the work of
her hard-hoarted father"
He walked up and down, as if brac-
ing his nerves, and presently continued:
Shall l live with this gnawing at
my heart, or ahall die to prove my
devotionp"
The toot! toot! Of. a tug coming up
the river was the only answer.
"When | am missed will anybody s
heart beat tho faster?" he went on.
when my dead body is hauled from
the river, and the Coroner goes through
my pockets, will anybody she'd tears ?
Win the sight of my pale and sunken
face be an aocuser to that flint-hearted
fatherpn
A propeller doomed her old whistle
IN sad response.
81 will die" he exclaimed with sud-
den energy; but the watchman came
forth and sc;2ed him by the neck, and,
pointing him up the street, said:
You great big calf, go along home
and soak your head in soap-suds! The
idea of such a fellow as you coming
around here to splash into the water
and keep poor, honest watchman out
of his hard-earned sleep! Skipp'
And fifteen minutes later the Young
man was calling for pork and beans in
restaurant.-DetrOn Free Press,

Curious Funeral Custom.

A very curious custom prevailo in the
good old town OF Wooster, OHIO. which
IS new to me, and. think isnot known
in many towns. When n person dies
the relatives of the 1ecedent send n
printed notice of the fact OF his death
TO every business firm of any impor-
tance in the place. The notice merely
states that such and such person is
dead, and then gives the time of the fu-
neral and where the services will be
held. 1t is sent out as soon after the
death as it is possible to arrange the
details Of the burial. but in no event is
1t promulgated later than the day on
which the demise takes place Another
popularity is that the court house bell
is always tolled as tho coffin is beinp
carried from the house To the hearse.
1t matters not who the person is nor
whether u Is man, woman or child, so
FAR as the bell ringing is concerned. IL
the funeral procession passes throuSh
The main street, on which the court
house Is located, the bell tolls from the
time the first vehicle las reached the
square in which the building is situated
until the last carriage goes out of sight.
The death rate is very low in Wooster,
or L should imagine it would be a
gloomy place to live il. The tones of
passing bells are not music which
cheers. -" Water IN Plttsburo Dispntch,

A New Horseshoe.

A new horseshoe has lately been ex-
perimented with at Lyons, France 1t
is made entirely of sleeps horn, and
is found peculiarly adapted to horses
employed in towns and known not to
be steady of foot on the pavement.
The results of the experiments have
proved very satisfactory, as horses thus
shod have been driven at rapid pace
on the pavement without slipping Be-
sides this advantage the new shoe is
very durable, and, though little more
expensive than the old one, seems des-
tined sooner or later to replace the iron
shoe, particularly for horses employed
in large cities where, besides the pave
mont, the streets are intersected by
trsmway rails, which. from their slip
periness constitute source of perma-
nent danger. er.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle

How the Bedouins Conquer Thirst,

In an article on 1.-THE Rescue OF
Chinese Gordon" to be found in the
September Century, General R. f.
Colston, late of the Egyptian General
Staff, says: "In the 'Waterless Land,
water is the paramount question. If
it be asked how a large body of
Bedoains like the ten thousand who
nearly destroyed the British squares at
Tamai manage to subsist, the reason
is plain. In the first place. they do
not need the enormous trains required
for European army. They are the
most abstemious of men. Each man
carries skin of water and small bag
of grain, procured by purchase or bar
ter from caravans. Their eamels and
goats move with them, supplying them
with milk and meat, and subsisting
upon the scanty herbage and the foil
age of the thorny mimosa, growing in
secluded wadies.
These people could live upon the in
crease of their flocks alona, which they
exchange readily for other commo-
dities; but being the exclusive carriers
and guides for all the travel and COM
merce that cross their deserts, they
realize yearly large amounts of money.
As to water, they know every nook
and hollow Ia the mountains, away
from the trails, where few barrels Of
water collect in some shaded raTine,
and they can scatter, every man for
himself, to fill thoir water-skins.
On my first expedition, near the close
of the three years. drought, reached
some wells on which was depending.
and found them entirely dry. 1t was
several days to the next wells. But
my Bedouin guides knew some natural
reservoirs in the hills about six miles
OF So they took the water camels at
night-fall, and came back before day
light with the water-skins filled. An
invading army would find it hard to
obtain guides, and even II they did,
they must keep together, and could
not leave the line of march to look for
water. Besides, the Bedouins, acoHs-
toned from infancy to regard water as
most precious and rare, use it with
wonderful economy. Neither man nor
animal drink more than once in forty
eight hours.
AS to washing. they aaerer indulge in
such wasteful nonsense. When Bed
ouins came to my camp, water was al
ways offered them. Their answer
would frequently be; No, thanks;
drank yesterday They know too
well the Importance of keeping up the
habit of abstemious ness. No wonder
they can subsist where invaders would
quickly perish.

The New Orleans "Aunties."

The pure feminine negro is seen in
and about New Orleans in all her old
time glory. You see them in the
kitchens, on the streets, In the horse
car, everywhere anybody is seen. and
there is q similarity that is wonderful.
They are almost universally f1eshy,
without visible necks. the head resting
on a comfortable cushion of fat on the
shoulders, with enormous arms, partly
bare, and no waist whatever.
They are abundantly tleshy at SO and
still more so at 60. What they would
be at 100 may never be known.
Old and young, feshy or lean, the
love of color is over all of them, and
the color they wear must be pro-
nounced. Their blacks are the black
est of anything on earth, their yellows
cannot be too yellow, and the various
shades of red must all be as bright as
possible. No one color satisfies them.
They mingle all of them. and the moro
that can be crowded into pattern the
better it pleases them.
1t is q pleasant sight to see an aged
negress rolling along the street, bear
ing a basket or bundle. her mouth half
! way open so that the laugh that is very
close to the surface may find the outer
air with the least trouble, with good
humored twinkle in the eye and lurk-
ing in the wrinkles about her mouth,
her short petticoats displaying two
| ankles immense in size, and about her
head the inevitable gayly-colored
handkerchief wound in the shape OF q
| turban.
Without this turban the dress of no
| negress would be complete. 1t takes
the place of hat or bonnet, and is as
universal as the peIticoat or shoes.
Indeed, it is more the thing than shoes.
for, though one may lack in the matter
of shoes. she always has the turban
| 1t is bound closely about the forehead,
| just below the hair. or rather wool,
line, and tied or pinned neatly at the
| back of the head. Under this wealth
of color the shiny black face, the daz-
zling white teeth that always show, for
the laughter either begun, in progress.
| or just ending, displays them, make a
not unpleasant picture. So jolly and
good-natured are they that one does
not wonder that white children, cared
for and almost reared by these colored
| women, came to love their ''mammies"
ia childhood. and continued the liking
| as long as they lived.
The streets of New Orleans would
not be complete without the negresses
and their turbans. They tit ths bright
sun, and the flowers, and the foliage
exceedingly well, and make sort of
variegated finish to the picture. And
that color will always be there. The
race is increasing with great rapidity,
and there is no reason why it should
not. The young require very little
care in that delicious climate. They
are turned off to shift for themselves at
a very early age, and pickaninny Is

Two Sunrise Pictures.
ON MT. WASHINGTON.

At 4 o'clock in the morning boy
went through the Railways ringing
pig bell. A dozen heads were poked
out of their bedroom doors. Come
along" he said, .'and see the sunrise"
In five minutes l was with a small
crowd of other half-dressed and equally
mystiied mortals cropping my way
down stairs. A draught of the keen.
cool exhilerating morning air was like
an electrical shock. Beyond 100 yards
around us there was not n patch OF
earth to be seen. 1t was like looking
out on high mountains and deep valleys
of beautiful snow, only the mighty hills
moved and dissolved. while the valleys
seemed filled with seething, rolling
vapor. Suddenly the sun rose in the
midst of it like huge balloon.
and the whole view was transformed
into sea of FURNISHED gold. 1t was a
relief when an occasional cloud of mist
swept over the crest of the mountain
and hid the dazzling sight from our
view. 1t was like a glimpse of the
promised land in q dream.-Cor. NJ T.

next morning the doubtful melody of

halls of the hotel. warning to the
sleepers that ''now was the time and
this the place" to see al Alpine sun
rise. In few minutes the guests,
motley throng, We're assembled on the
highest point of the mountain, few
rods from the hotel. The moon had
gone down, the stars had faded. ard
