George Gaines Long Stem Pipe.

"Here's a good piece of advice, said Captain Quibley, putting aside a news paper and turning to his wife. CA paragraph here says that man should never smoke a pipe while going down stairs. In case he should fall, he would be likely to drive the stem through the roof of his mouth and out at the top of his head"
 'I never heard of such thing" re- piled Mrs. Quibley.
 ''Its not by any means improbable, " rejoined the Captain. "There's our old friend George Gaines. He is Q great smoker, you know"
 "Yes," with interest.
 "Well, the other day-I forgot to mention it, by the way-he was coming down stairs and his foot slipped and down he went. He always smoked a long pipe, you know"
 "Great goodness, Captain !"
 "Yes, he had passion for long stem pipes. One day while we were out hunting, he found a cane root about five feet long. He took it home with him and had it bored out. Beats any -'
 ''But when he fell did he drive it through his head?"
 "Oh, no. You see he had 10 stop smoking on account of his health, but l was going to say for example,"
 "Quibley, you are the biggest fool ] ever saw. Go on now and split up some wood. You ought to be ashamed of yourself to disappointany one that W ay. '

The Responsibility He Incurred.

"I-I wanted to ask your opinion about 8 little matter, and also secure your advice" he said, as he cornered a member of the City Council on one of the City Hall porches yesterday.
 "Well, sir, what can do for you"
 "Is it your opinion that we shall have an open winter ?"
 "Why, sir, IT can't really say. I do not pretend to be weather prophet"
 "Sorry-very sorry, continued the other; "I have got to go to Chicago on foot. If you could guarantee me fine weather I wouldn't need to ask you to lend me more than half dollar. As you can't do that, and as I am liable to be showed in somewhere for week, I shall be compelled to request the loan Of at least eighty cents. Do you advise me to lay in stock of crackers and cheese at this point, or would you buy as you went along and from day to day D.
 The alderman sought to crawl out of any responsibility in the matter, but the man hung to him until he got thirty cents as a compromise. The man who won't predict an open winter ought to be bled. Free Press.

the number of your car, and asked me to leave it for you. I'm Jimmy, what lives on the next floor I questioned him so hard that he rode few blocks with me, but he could tell me nothing about Mary, He knew her, but he had not seen her all day, and didn't know why she hadn't brought me the pail | herself.
 "Oh, what a night that was for me. It's wonder that I didn't run over some one. What could the matter be- was she sick? Had anything happened to her? How long the hours seemed would never be on my last trip. The suspense was terrible, but in some way or other managed to get through, and when I tied up I rsaidi Thank God this nights work is over.'
 'Then I started for home. Somehow, when I reached the house I dreaded to go in. I had been so anxious all night, and now when I could find out I hesi- tated like. At last opened the door and went upstairs.
 "When I opened the door of my rooms the lamp was burning low, and nay wife came up quietly and gave me kiss. She said |: Don't make a noise, John; Mary has bad fever. did not want to let you know by Jimmy for fear it might worry you. The doctors say she is in bad way, but there is hope. Move about quietly, John, she has fallen into sleep
 "I did move about quietly, God knows, but she awoke, and when she saw me she called me to her. How hot her little hand was, and when I kissed her, her lips seemed to be burning. Did you miss me tonight, papaY she said; T could not come. did want to come so bad, to wish you merry Christ miss her? God only knows how did miss her I pressed her to me, and cried like child.
 "She fingered a week, and an extra had my oar. What I suffered that week no one will ever know but myself. At last all was over, and she died in my arms. When we laid her away in Cal vary went to work again, but I was not the same man.
 'tEvery night when I pass the old cor ner l seem to see her standing there, waiting to give papa his supper. For a long time after we buried her I was in the habit of stacking up as passed the corner, just from habit. Then I would recollect and start the horses up, al- though they looked misty like until I wiped my eyes.
 "Yes, sir, it's hard life. But, as l said, I'm used to it, and guess I ain't fit for anything else. The company is very strict, but good man always man. ages to get along. Slack up here did Fou say. Going to get of, sirP We'll, good night, and many thanks for the ci- gar. ."-ITutb.

A Theatrical Combination.

Daniel H. Harkins, the tragedian, now a member of Mckee Rankin's Third Avenue Company, tells me of a curious combination in that theatre. Seven mem- bers of the company have formed sort of commune of their own, and have in- troduced the cooperative principle into the theatrical business. They are MT. and Mrs. Mckee Rankin, D. Fl. Harkins, J. J. Wallace, Theodore Hamilton, Frank Mordaunt and Mir. Haley. They are bound by articles of cooperation for three years and at the expiration of that time mai ority of the seven can bind the whole for three years longer. They receive no salaries, but divide the profits or make up the losses after paying rent and the salaries of the other hired mem- bers of the company.
 The correspondent who gives the in- formation says: "I asked MT. Harkins how they got over the one great diff culty in such combination of actors the disposition of each to insist on the the best part in the play and the biggest line in the programme. Readily enough, he answered.; we print the names in the same type; and one of the articles of agreement is that each member is under bonds and Q forfeiture to play whatever part he may be cast for by the duly selected stage manager The seven members of this syndicate are not over young, and among the six men there is all average of about 200 pounds of flesh an amplitude of waist which will not venture to estimate; but they are ex- perienced actors and they seem to work with perfect harmony"

SECOND sIgHT BUSINESS.
Heller nnd Ills SI-ter-How Tseir TFielo
 were Performed.

Heller and his assistant used every means for dramatic effect, says a news paper reporter. Taking up watch, he would give the proper cue to Mise Hell Ter, who knowing full we'll what the ob- iect was, would describe it as a round object and bright, aud finally, after seeming difficulty, would say what it was amid much applause. The number of the watch was given by means of Q stated system. "Can you give" the number was tho cue for units, "tell the" for tens; twill you give" for hum dreds, "what's tho" for thousands, ''name" for tens of thousands, and "give the" for hundreds of thousands. Say the watch was numbered 2,0S2. Heller would remark, 'whats the number" on this, giving the cue for thousands there by and then adding ''how," which, according to q second series of ques- tions, stands for 2. Miss Heller would slowly reply 1.-Two thousand" and Heller would respond, "Yery we'll, " "how," which would elicit from his as- sistant "S2" at once. Heller, however, had other systems for performing the second-sight trick. One of them called electricity into play. There was an ar- mature and magnet in the bottom of the lounge upon which Miss Heller sat, and fer ordinary articles there were 13 tele. graphic signals that Dale, who was on the stage concealed from view would telegraph to her. She could feel the pulsations of the magnet, and would know at once what the article was that Heller was holding in his hand without saying a word. It was especially pug zling to many persons to see Heller take up an article from some person in tho audience, and, although he apparently gave no sign and certainly did not speak Miss Heller would promptly say what i was. They did not know how simpl, the solution was. When Heller playeC in his Broadway Theatre, there was lat tice work on the front of the stage cover ed with artificial flowers. Behind thi 1 sat Mir. Dale. Miss Heller was seated, blindfolded, with her back to the audi ence. Heller would take mp some arti' cle from the first or second row, ana Mir. Dale, through a strong opera glas slyly penetrating tho lattice, could se' very clearly what it was and would tele graph to Miss Heller. To vary the sys tenn as much as possible, Dale on somr nights would communicate to her througl a speaking tube that ran through tn

A Theatre Lunch.

The Kansas City Times tells this little story:--It so happened that there was long wait between the acts, during which the attendants handed round glasses of water to the audience. When the boy was passing down the dress circle an elderly, well-dressed woman beckoned to him. The boy gave her the glass of water, when, to the petrifed amazement of the people in the vicinity, the lady produced paper bag of crack CTS and commenced to make an elabor- ate lunch, slipping the water at intervals and otherwise creating a panic in the theatre. To the credit of the little boy, be it said, that he remained master of the situation, and waited patiently until the glass was empty, when he offered her another one. The old lady, how ever, did not perceive the cold irony of the act, and as the orchestra com menced to play preparatory to the rising of the curtain, she declined the second nlaaS

Feeding Young Stock.

Young animals require special care in feeding. There are several things to be thought of in regard to this part of farm work. A young calf, colt, or lamb must be enabled to build up frame work of bone before it can put on flesh. Many an animal is weakened before it has matured its growth. so that it can never be healthful. There are peculiar diseases which affect young animals that are produced by want of proper nutri- tion. When a full-grown animal has formed its frame and clothed it with muscular tissue it requires such food only as will restore the waste of this tis- sue that is caused by work or exertion, expended in the vital functions, or in such labor as it may be called upon to perform. Carbonaceous food, as starch, oil, and cellular fibre, Is chiefly required, and when fat is required this same kind of food is given in increased quantities. But young animals cannot live. health fully or build up robust constitution upon this kind of food. They require a large quantity of lime and phosphoric acid for the bones and of nitrogen for the flesh, while the carbonaceous ele- ments only are required to sustain the respiratory process and the animal heat. A much less quantity of starch and oil, then, is required, while-a larger supply of the phosphates and of nitrogenous elements are needed in proportion to the carbonaeeous food.
 The tables of the nutritive elements of food substances which have been given from time in these columns may be use- fully referred to in choosing food for the young animals. Bran, which contains the larger portion of the phosphates in grain; turnips; clover hay, which con- tains more nitrogen than any other fod- der; peas, oats, pea straw, inseed meal, and, were it not too rich to be digesti- ble and to be 0 safe food, because it is so apt to be given to excess, cottonseed meal; all these form the best foods for young animals.
 But few farmers can be induced to give such food as these to their young stock, because they are the most costly of all kinds of feeding substances; and in gen. eral these young animals, which really require the best, are given the poorest. calf fed upon straw and the waste from the horse and COW stalls during the winter is pitible object in the spring; razor-backed, hump-baeked, pot-bellied, big-headed, big.kneed, hide-bound, and in every way wretched. Many such calves are to be seen here and there, and but few comparatively of the fine, we'll formed, sleek, thrifty young things which have lived upon the fiat of the farm." This poor economy is a great waste. It is a waste because for all the food consumed not one ounce of growth is made, and a farmer might just as well unwisely burn all his domes- tic fuel out of doors and waste the heat upon the wintry winds and leave his household shivering in a cold house as to thus expend the fodder given to his young animals. This is a timely subject for consideration, and affects one of those matters of farm work upon which the farmers profit and welfare greatly de- | bends.

Stimulating Newspaper Circulation.

A novel way to increase the list of
 subscribers has just been adopted by a French contemporary-the GduJOis. The proprietors of this journal, so we are told, undertake to pay a sum of 5000 francs at the disease of any sub- scriber who may meet with his death on railway or tramway, or by being run over by vehicle in the street. A proportionate sum is paid for injuries received. All that is necessary to pro- duce is the last receipt of subscription. The GauIois also pays compensation to any purchaser of a single copy, or his heirs should he be injured or killed on the day on which the paper is bought.

Fighting with Bashi-BazOuks.

An English correspondent writing from Egypt, says: "For the little garrison of Bashi- Bazouks have great respect. Time after time it has been attacked, and has successfully defeated the at. tackers. The last time the Arabs had TO. course to strategy. They beat their tom toms very vigorously half a mile of; meanwhile they crept silently into the ditch underneath the low bsstion where was the one gun of the fort. One of them, however, let off rifle by accident, and the garrison were at once alarmed. Though it was dark they could perceive thousands in the ditch, and they opened a whitening fire upon them. The enemy, however, succeeded in actually seizing upon lbe wheels of the gun and also the legs of the Turkish commandant, who was standing by, and a pull devil, pull baker took place. At length the officer was dragged within the rsmparts. Hun drsds of Arabs were moved down in their desperate attempt to enter. In some places they threw skins over the prickly abattis. At others, where there was no ditch, but merely mimosa against the wall, they mounted on each other's shoulders. At one time they actually succeeded in bursting open a wicket near the gate, but all who entered were caught in a rat trap-they found them- selves in an open court from which there was no exit, and they were moved down mercilessly. For two hours did the as- sault continue. At length the Arabs, having lost the greater part of their number, retired. In these desperate assaults by these Arabs ono is reminded of the heroism of their ancestors, the Saracens.
