Taught to read, write and speak half a
dozen languages apiece; they could play
the piano and harp, do delicate lace
work, paint, etch, ride, skate, swim and
dance. but none of them had ever been
taught how to lie down, and the only
one that did it gracefully was the little
girl who had come from the rear rank.
She was graceful naturally and needed
no tuition. When they ell had got
down as far as sitting posture, Mr..
Rylev still stood coldly over them.
They looked at him iuquiringly for a
moment and then he roared:
"You are not down-nOt half down.
Go all the way downtown on your
on your-elbows. J."
One by one they complied with his
request. It was a startling exhibition.
After they had got there Mr.. Ryley
walked the "Bunthorne" up and down
in front of them, aud showed them how
to keep him in view. Then he babe
them all rise. There was scramble,
and they got to their feet again, looking
very much ruff1ad, very much out OF
humor and extremely chagrlned.
Then the stage manager dismissed them,
and told them to come at two o'clock
the following day and he would teach
th I'm how to lie down. This he did
laboriously, and the result was that on
the night OF the performance the love-
sick nlaidens rolled about upon the floor

A PerilOus Ride.
From pittsburg Dispatch

From pittsburg Dispatch.J
When the limited express east reached
Enon Station, 40 miles west of this city,
this morning, young man who said his
name was George Baker, VAS discovered
lying on the truck of the second car,
between the wheels and the floor of the
car. He had ridden from Chicago III
that position, distance of 400 miles.
He was almost dead when the train
stopped. When he recovered sufficiently
to talk he said s'When the limited
pulled out Of the Union Station at Chi.
cago last night was lying on the truck
OF the second car. Before we started ]
thought 1 could ride there almost as
comfortable as if I were seated in the
car, but before long, when the train got
fairly under way, at the rate of As miles
an hour, [ wished was dead hundred
times. l was compelled to lie on my
stomach and hold on with both arms and
legs. In this position my face was ex-
posed to the dust that was thrown up by
the wheels and [ was almost blinded.
For the first hundred miles, every time
the car jolted I thought I would be
thrown on the track and killed, and
several times when we passed over high
trestles I became dizzy, shut my eyes,
and gave myself up for lost. After a
while, however, l began to believe that
my position was not SO dangerous as it
looked, and I determined to hold out to
the end. When the train stopped at
Fort Wayne and Crestline for inspec-
tion, just slipped off on the dark side
until after the inspectors passed and
then got on again. They must have
seen me getting on at Alliance, and no.
titled the people to take me off. I ana
glad they did, because after we left that
place the dust and gravel few into my
eyes and face worse than at the start ;
and began to think would not be able
to hold out after ALL"
The man had ridden over 400 miles in
manner never before attempted. He
is about thirty years of age, and, despite
his woe-begone appearance, gave evil
dence that he was not common tramp.
He refused to say anything concerning
his antecedents.

from the Rio de Janeiro News

| from the Rio de Janeiro News.l
| The movement to secure the total
emancipation of slavery in the province
| OF Ceara on the 25th ult.-the anniver-
sary of the oath of the constitution
has resulted, we are happy to say, in a
complete success. The province of
Ceara is to-day free from the incubus of
slavery. The movement began only
fifteen months ago, the first municipal
lty liberating its slaves on the LIST of
January, 1882. Since chat time the
progress toward provincial emancipation
has been unbroken. The new tax law
OF last November, greatly accelerated
this progress, because it made slave
holding impossible, the value of the
slave being less than the tax. It was
then felt that concerted movement for
the total liberation of the whole prov
1nce could be carried to a successful
conclusion, and the result is that to-day
there is not q slave in the provinces. The
actual number Of slaves liberated is not
yet knowD, as the statistics have not
been sent down. The ultimate results
OF this success no one can yet foresee.
In this city there has been weeks jubi-
lee. Large sums of money have been
realized from donations and the proceeds
OF bazars, several slaves have been liber-
ated, and a movement set on foot to Sc.
cure total emancipation in the munici-
pallty of the imperial capital. Two
other provincial emancipation move
ments are also reported-one in Rio
Grande do Sui, the other in Amazonas.
Inc tide has clearly set toward imme-
date emancipation. 1t can be held IN
check no longer. Tt is idle to talk of re-
Enumeration, for the nation cannot meet
1t; nor is it just that it should try.
Slavery is doomed. Il may last one
year more, but from present indications
we can not give it Two years of life.

Short Long Hand.

Prof. IL. Gamble, of PHILADELPHIA,
suggests a form of abbreviated long
hand, and does so in these words: By
the application of seven simple rules
large part of the labor, time, and vexa-
ton of the pen-user is saved, also, the
readers time, for when words (are)
abbreviated the eye can take in more at
a glance. Letters standing alone, as u.
for you, more legible than words. We
easily read the & I of the worst scribe,
because the form of the letter is not
changed by joining with others. This
is why ordinary print is SO much plain
er than even engraved script.
The average penman writing seven
hours a day writes "the" 700 times. &
several other words nearly as frequent
ly. Some of these words occur 1000
times as often as words to which abbre-
viations have long been given. The
frequent recurrence of 20 words makes
up of English. These words, repre-
sented by single letters, would (be) as
plain as & /, & would effect enormous
economy of time, & save millions of dol
lars annually in printing. They occur
SO frequently that reading a few pages
of a book thus printed fixes them in the
memory. We write I instead of eli or
eye; why not u, YOUR, are; &, and, b,
be, etc.? Script circulates most among
the intelligent classes, yet SO persons
write ''you" 10000 times a year for
fear dull person will not understand
u. Better for the l dull person to ask
some l to help HIM read. Even the
majority of editors still write you AND,
altho' the printer would understand u
and &.

LOtta's Last BOn-BOn.
from the New York Star


Envious rivals may say that the
clipper and saucy little actress, Lolita,
is losing her grip, but a late business
transaction of hers does not seem to
justify that hasty conclusion. She has
always sharp eye on the main chance,
and whoever attempts to white sticks
with her in a dicker isn't going to get
the best of the bargain without mani
Testing phenomenal shrewdness.
On her arrival in London she took
fancy to the opera 'sNell Gwynne, which
is the work of Farnie, the dramatist.
and Planquette, the musician. The
literary chap and the tune-slinger
stand In the order named in the bills,
although American authorities of the
dude order rule that the author of ~
ric play should stand in the background
for the composer. Lolita laid down
81, 900 to hold the work for month
while she was making up her mind
whether she would buy the right for
this country. Harry French, the dra-
matte agent, meantime made an offer
for it, and sold it to McCaull, the New
York manager, who began preparing
new scenery for it.
This was Lotta's chance. She snapped
it up by paying Farnie and Planquette
81 900 for it. Then she notified French
that he must not infringe her rights.
McCaull was frantic. He applied TO
the actress. She replied that she
weuld help him out of his difficulty
with great pleasure-for consideration.
That consideration was $1,000. Nc
Caun had to accept. He paid the
money and owns the opera. Thus Lot
ia raked in $1,000 bon-bon. Losing
her grip? Oh, no.

IF rom the San Francisco Chronicle.
When a certain San Francisco lady.
who had made a wide Eastern reputa-
ton as a writer, visited Japan a few
years ago, she was entertained by one
of the leading Americans of Toxic. Ev-
erything in the house was artistic, and
the rarest, curious, most elaborate por-
celain ware, the finest japanese art pro-
auctions covered the tables and filed
the rooms. The Francisco visitor was
much interested in all this, and was par
ticularly admiring the dinner service,
which was of very unique pattern. At
ter dinner the host took her aside:

''Oh, | am mistaken. You do not do

Ezra said he made clothes for good
many bankers, but the merchant slid
away as if ashamed of his mistake.

Farmers Should Read Newspapers.

Farmers who do not read newspapers
or current articles on agricultural top
les, who do not discuss farming interests
with their neighbors, but rely chiefly on
what they have learned of old practices
and methods, picked up from time to
time, "becanse they couldn't help it, D."
are not expected to be progressive, or to
take pleasure in or derive pleasure
from their profession. 1t is not enough
to observe nature and know how to do
things, but how to compass necessary
operations to the best advantage. Many
a man loses annually by failing to pos
sess and use good implements TO pre-
pare the ground properly for cropping.
to plant, SOW, drill and cultivate at the
best time and in the best manner; in
short. by not employing every proper
means to improve on old habits and
practices For example, it has been
customary to SOW fodder corn broad
cast, or to drill it thickly, and it has
remained for modern experiment to
verify the fact that fodder so grown is
watery and has but little nutrition in it,
and that the best way to grow it is to
drill in double rows, running the corn
through two tubes seven inches apart,
with width of thirty-tive inches be-
tween these double rows to allow room
for cultivation. Corn thus treated
grows stouter, natures more perfectly
and is thus worth more per acre, for all
utilitarian purposes. So it is with
other popular practices. Many of them
are unphilosophical and will not endure
the test of experience. - Gncimnats
