A Mukma,d tu Blue leans.

Out in Rutherford county, Tenn, the
other day. a farmers wife discovered that
the handsome, rudy faced boy whom her
husband had employed to milk the lows
was a girl in disguise. She had made her
appearance on the farm asking for work,
clad in blue jeans thrust into coarse COW
hide boots, q hickory shirt, and with a
tapping broad brimmed straw hat
on the back Of her Q head. She
deceived the farmer easily enough,
but she couldn't fool his wife, who
was not. however, in the least inclined to
part with the masculine looking milkmsid
on account OF her sex. Ii seems that city
and town servants. factory girls and Others
in the West who have to work indoors
through the Winter have recently formed
the habit OF striking out into the country
in search Of farm work AZ a time when
their services are most required and when
they can easily earn as much 81 50 a day.
They do not all don male attire, however.

The Noise of the Finger.

When you poke the end of your finger in
your ear the roaring noise you hear is the
sound OF the circulation in your fingers,
which is the fact, as any n can demon
strAte by first putting his fingers in his
ears. and then stopping them up with other
su distance. Try it, and think what a Won
der OF a machine your body is, that even
the points OF your fingers are such busy
workshops that they roar like q small
Niagara. The roaring is probably more
the noise OF the circulation than the blood.
II is the voice Of all the vital processes to-
getber-the tearing down and building up
processes that are always going on in the
living body, from conception down to
death.

walk of Charley Lautenschlager, in front

leading into Clark street, but in addition
has had the knots which projected through
the sidewalk chopped down, until they no

congratulated on his public spirit and his
thoughtfulness for the comfort of those
passing over this sidewalk. It appears
strange that other business men and citi-

to use them, are generally of plank and of

A novel drilling match between james

the road near the Crown Point mine, says
the Chronicle. The match was for $50
side, and the wager was for the purpose oil
ascertaining who could drill two feet in
solid rock in the shortest time. A large
crowd Of spectators assembled to see the
match. The rock was the hardest surface
material that could be found. Each con-
testant had his helper to turn the drill,
which was struck with q heavy hammer.
Flannery broke six drills by the tremen-
dous force of his blows, but won the
match by az minutes. Time: Flannery,
40 minutes; Hickey. 42k minutes. The
decision of the referee seemed to be I'M
satisfactory to q majority of the crowd,
who insisted that the match was 9 tie.

NEW COMIC OPERA.
something Proposed TO be a.
Funny as PfnafOre.

Funny rs PfnafOre.
The London Lutte gives some interest
ing particulars on the subject of a comic
opera about to be composed by Ruibnstein.
The taste Of the Russian pianist and ON
poser for Eastern subjects has often been
shown; and his attention was attracted
some weeks ago by an account. published
in the feuilleton Of the Neue Freie Presse,
OF a Persian tale which seemed to him
we'll adapted for operstic treatment. He
recommended the sabject to several CON-
posers who we're in the habit Of dealing
with light themes, but none OF them con-
sidered it available for lyric purposes; and
last, as if to prove that he was right in re-
garding the story as appropriate for must
cal setting, he has himself undertaken to
make it the groundwork OF an opera.
The little tale runs as follows: A rich
man Of high position has a very beautiful
daughter, with whom q young man of in
fiammable temperament falls in love. He
is unable TO approach her; but, seeing on
some occasion her reflection in a looking
glass, cannot refrain from kissing it. At
this the young lsdy's father takes offense.
and the young man before the
cadi. After hearing the case as stated by
the indignant father, the cadi recognizes
the justice of the complaint, but declares
himself unable to decide what punishment
should be inflicted, the offense being, as
far as he knows, without a precedent. An
intelligent stranger, however, who has been
present at the trial, suggests that, the re-
Election OF the Young lady having been
kissed, the reflection of the young man
who kissed her ought to receive the basti-
nado. The cadi accepts this view; and,
after the shadowy punishment has been
inflicted, the father considers the claims
Of honor satisfied and gives his daughter
in marriage to her would-be embracer.
The opera which Rubinstein is composing
on this very original subject is TO be pro-
duced next Autumn at Hamburg.
