Smitten by His Size.

Miss Emma Brandt, says Chicago
paper, is a slender maiden whose lips
close like the two halves of muffin.
A few days ago Emma paid q visit to
Coup's Great Chicago Museum and her
eyes fell on the form of the Yorkshire
giant. From that moment her heart
was lost. She has been a constant
visitor at the museum every day since,
and she can always be seen moving
around in close proximity to the giant,
feasting her eyes on his martial uni
form and plumed cap. The girl came
again yesterday, carrying a bundle
wrapped in MANILA paper. She in
formed Manager Coup that it contain
ed her wedding clothes, and she had
come prepared to elope with the object
of her affection. Mr.. Coup assisted her
to the platform, and introduced her to
the blushing boy of Yorkshire. He
stood up, waved his arm over her head
and gazed down into her upturned
face as one might gaze from Il church
steeple into the street below. Then
they conversed a few minutes together.
''Have you made it all up?" asked
Mr.. Coup, as Emma descended from
the platform.
Eyes, have, and I'm gong to mar
ry him." she replied.
''His diamond ring will make you
very pretty bracelet
81 think he's awful nice"
Another mash made by Mr.. Cooper,
the Yorkshire giant, was Miss Lucia
Zarate, the wonderful midget exhibited
at this museum. This little atom of
humanity was born in Mexico, Jan. 2,
1868, and weighs four and three-quar-
ter pounds. The little lady is bright
and interesting and is inclined to fiirt.
She at once fell violently in love with
the giant, who measures eight feet four
in his stockings.
The mite first engaged in a fan
Irritation, at which she is as adept as
Spanish senorita, but the Yorkshire
man proved obdurate. Passionate os-
culation was next resorted to, but the
lymphatic mountain did not respond as
cordially as desired and the midget
angrily turned away, vehemently pro-
testing in voluble Spanish, which she
speaks tluently, that he was mo good. :"

A Family of Asinary Genus.

Nor must we forget that if there are
women who strive to unsex themselves
by becoming too masculine, so there are
men who most effectually unsex them
selves by a general emasculation of
dress and manner which would readily
strike stranger from another planet
as representing transition period be-
tween the sexes. If manish woman
offends our good taste and Judgment,
Il womanish man is an insipid embodi-
ment of nothingness, and ought to be
treated as geological curiosity repre-
senting some hitherto unknown family
of the asinary genus. From these con-
sideratiOns it therefore follows that if
there are female oddities who furnish
the weapons of satire to those who are
opposed to the advancement of women,
there are also masculine oddities who
show how closely man can sometimes
portant questions of life in the most
remote and superficial manner, and
representing phase which cannot be
seriously treated, these peculiar Great
ures excite our risibility and cause US
to abandon ourselves to the claims of
Democritus, the laughing philosopher.
Much as the study of these superficial
tiles may amuse US, they do not, how
ever, and they cannot, reach those
strata of evidence from which we must
draw our conclusions if we desire to be
philosophical and consistent.-He7ary
G. Pedcter, in Manhattan.

l, ur,iS of Wisdom.


In art the expenditure of time an !
effort matters but little; what coun )
IS the result.
Irony is the bravery of the feeble
AL the baseness of the strong.
Praise increases our value; fattery
diminishes it.
There would no longer be any thieves
if there were no receivers of stolen
goods, and there would be no more
danger In calumny if no one wished to
believe in it.
Fortune adorns defects as well as
qualities; and the dress that she gives
them never makes the defects appear
great nor the qualities mediocre.
An artist resembles woman. He
has the same delicacy, the impulses,
the generosities and the passionate de-
votion, as well as the jealousies, the
caprices, the coquetteries, the despot-
ism and the ferocious vanity.
The praise of rival is rarely sincere;
q spontaneous movement of anger or
of jealousy is a surer appreciation, and
consequently more tlattering.
A couple which attracts attention
can be only charming or ridiculous.
1t often happens that the sentiments
which we believe to be very noble ones
are only very base ones; for example,
our disposition to forget injuries and
not TO pardon them.
Those who do not wish to discuss
their religion seem to avow that they
do not feel themselves sufficiently sure
of their belief TO defend it well.

New Use For ELECTRICITY.

The Boston transcript says that an
electro-dynamic company, of Philadel-
phia. has machine for the application
of electric power to sewing machines,
lathes, surgical and dental tools. etc.
This is little dynamo machine, weigh
ing only forty ounces, which is called
the double-induction motor. 1t derives
its power from battery of carbon and
zinc element, and is claimed to be the
only practical electric motor for the
dwelling, laboratory, etc. 1t is so con-
structed as to be easily attached to the
sewing machine or lathe table, and the
cells of the batteries are so arranged
that the zinc and carbon plates, when
the machine is not running, are lifted
out of the cells, and there can there
fore be no waste of material when power
is not required. There is one great
idea about it, and that is that the power
operator. This is brought about by the
degree of immersion given the plates.
The speed of this motor, varying at the
will of the operator from any number
to a number of thousands of revolu-
tions a minute, renders it valuable
aid to surgeons for driving the various
instruments designed to remove ne
crossed bone, for rotary lancet, etc. Its
operation of an ordinary sewing ma
chine for family work will be only from
25 cents to 40 cents per day, according
to the work done or the power required
to operate.

A High Marriage.

Some time in 1881 two ladies and
two gentlemen, all hailing from Bos-
ton, arrived at the Manitou House, Col
orado, and engaged Rev. j. E. Smith
to 90 with them next day to the sum-
nit of Pixies Peak, and there unite Mr..
Dutton and Miss Nellie Throcmorton
in wedlock. At 6 in the morning the
party mounted on bronchos, started
from the hotel, but had not got far on
the way before the animal the minis.
ter bestrode rid himself of his burden
by pitching his rider over bridge in
to the river beneath. He was quickly
brought to land, but was not to be in
duced to risk his neck again. 1t was
then arranged that he should make fol-
the telegraph office at Colorado Springs,
and do his splicing by wire. By noon
the wedding party had reached their
destination, and the sergeant in charge
of the signal station there at once tele-
graphed their arrival to the reverend
gentleman, waiting 10000 feet below.
The young people joined hands and
stood before the sergeant, the father
and mother of the bride standing on
either side, and the sergeant at the in
strument read the questions of the cler.
gyman as they came thrilling through
the wires, and sent back the answers
of bride and bridegroom, until up from
the valley to that small stone keep, II,
900 feet above the ocean, came that
message making two hearts one
''Then pronounce you man and wife. y

Trap for Dishonest Postal Clerks.

A former Post office mailing clerk
picked up letter from an Office table.
The letter bore little upon its outward
face that would give any clew to its
interior. Said he: There's money in
that letter." There was money in it.
The gentleman said that one OF the ad-
vantages of modern post Office business
was the increased advantage Of trans
mission of money through tho mails.
When he was a clerk there was not q
clerk in the office who couldn't tell
easily upon the first feeling of a letter
whether there was money in it or not.
He remembered the first decoy letter
that came into the post office where he
was. 1t was the first of the Govern
ment's sending out. The decoy letter
is marked TO an impossible direction.
1t is due at the dead letter office within
4 stated time. The first that he ever
saw bore the direction: ''Mr. Harry
Quilp, Quilp county, Quilp." There is,
of course, no such direction possible.
The decoy letter contains money, and
will turn up at the dead letter office
according to record kept by their send
ers. Such letters are Il part of the ma
chinery of the department, and go
floating through the mails with the
view to catching the dishonest and un-
wary.-LeWistON Journal.

The Land of Fruit,

In the neighborhood of Sydney such
fruits as the peach. nectarine, apricot,
plum, fig, grape, cherry and orange
are plentiful as blackberries. The
orangeries and orchards of New South
Wales are among its sights; and in the
neighborhood of Sydney and Port Jack
son there are beautiful groves of orange
trees, which extend in some places
down to the waters edge. Individual
settlers have groves which yield as
many as $4,000 oranges per annum.
One may literally ''sit under his own
vine and fig tree" If peach stone
is thrown down in almost any part of
Australia where there is little moist
ure, tree will spring up which in a
few years will yield handsomely. A
well-known botanist used formerly to
carry small bag of peach-stones to
plant in suitable places, and many a
wandering settler has blessed him
since. Pigs were formerly often fed
on peaches, as was done in California,
country much resembling South Aus
tralia; it is only of late years they have
been utilized in both places by drying
and otherwise preserving. A basket
load may be obtained in the Sydney
markets during the season for few
pence. The summer heat of Sydney is
about that of Naples, while the winter
corresponds with that of Sicily.
