The II. o. &.

"Why does this railroad traveller &C.
cupy two whole seats?"
Because he paid for only one. He
wouldn't think of paying for four rooms
at a hotel in order to sleep in one bed,
but it's different thing on a railroad
car"
"Will some yeoman come along and
give him his choice between contract
ing his limits and takinga scoot through
the Window"
"Oh, no. Every yeoman has a whole
seat to himself, and is satisfied"
But he would give up one of the
seats to woman, wouldn't hep"
IF she was good-looking and we'll
dressed he would get his hoofs off that
other seat so fast that his back would
ache for an hour. If she was middle
aged, only fairly dressed and had the
look of a woman who wouldn't gulp
down any taffy, he'd be sound asleep as
she came down the aisle.-M. Quad.

netectiYe Ham Best.

"By the way, while I'm at it might
as well tell you an old story that Illus
trates the detective powers of Ham
Best. Years ago it created quite stir
in st. Louis. One of the banks had
occasion to send lot of gold to bank
in Hartford. This was before the war
The route East was then by way of
Chicago. Well, when the gold arrived
at the place of destination the Hartford
bank discovered that the box had been
opened and some hundreds of gold had
been scraped from the top. Complaint
was made to the express company and
Best was called in. His first move was
to get the names of the men on the run
between st. Louis and Hartford, and
to learn as much as possible about their
past business, what they had been
engaged at, etc. In less than no time
he exonerated every agent between
Chicago and the East. The robbery
was committed west of Chicago, and 1
think have the man. said Ham. He
got leave to travel on the express car
with the suspected man, having the
opened box in his possession. All went
along amicably till the agent produced
small hammer, which he remarked
was quite handy at times. Best at once
brought forth the box and asked Mr..
Agent if he would not be kind enough
to fit that hammer to dent in the side
of the box. The fellow stammered and
turned pale, but complied. 1t fitted like
the paper on the wall. He had found
his man. This small dent in the box
was the only thing to indicate that the
box had been opened. No one but an
expert could have done it. In running
over the former occupations of the
various agents Best had found that the
man in question was the only one of
the number who had previously been a
carpenter, and hence the only one likely
to know that you can pry open wooden
box with wooden wedge, and leave no
marks. The unfortunate slip of his
hammer furnished the connecting link.

Chewing Gum.

"Did you know that nearly three
quarters of the chewing gum that tires
the jaws of the rising generation in the
United States is now made from petro-
leum?" said a manufacturing confec-
toner to reporter.
The reporter did not know it.
"Oh, yes" said the confectioner.
Petroleum first knocked the spots off
the whale oil business of New England,
and now it is clipping into it's spruce
and tamarack gum industry at q fear
full rate. Here's lump of petroleum
we have just received" The confec-
toner slapped his hand on q large OBJ
long block that resembled a block of
marble. "A few days ago." said he,
"that came out of the ground in Penn
sylvania dirty, greenish-brown fluid,
with smell that would knock an OK
down. The oil refiners took it and put
it through lot of chemical processes
that don't know anything about, and,
after taking out large percentage OF
kerosene, good share of naptha, con-
siderable benzine, a cart-load or so of
tar, and number of other things, with
names longer than the alphabet, left
us this mass of nice, clean wax. There
isn't any taste to it, and no more smell
to it than there is to china plate. We
will take this lump, cut it up, and melt
it in boilers. This piece weighs about
two hundred pounds. We add thirty
pounds of cheap sugar to it and flavor
it with vanilla, wintergreen, pepper
mint, or any pleasant essential oil.
Then we turn it out on a marble table
and cut it into all shapes with dies.
After it is wrapped in oiled tissue pa
per and packed in boxes it is ready for
the market. You can imagine that
somebody is chewing gum in this coun-
try when tell you that lump like
this one will make $1,000 penny cakes,
and We use up one every week. There
are dozens of manufactures using al
most as much wax as we do. / believe
this petroleum chewing gum, if hon
estly made, is perfectly harmless, and
that is more than can be said of some
of the gums made from the juices OF
trees, especially the imported article.

Swell Cans.

DIR. J. G.. johnson contributes an
article to the Sanitarium upon poi
soned canned goods. He says: eff a
can is sound the head is sunk in. If
the contents have commenced to de-
compose the head is bulged out. Dis
honest dealers buy these swells, as
they are called, punch a hole in the
heads, and put the cans in boiling wax
to drive out the gases, after which they
solder up the hole; that is to cay, they
repeat the process followed in canning.
But cans so treated will have two
solder holes instead of one. Such cans,
if purchased, should at once be sent to
the Board of Health, along with the
contents and the name of the grocer
who sold them"

Is the English Sparrow Nuisance

The English sparrow was introduced
into this country about twelve years
ago, and the advent was celebrated by
William Cullent Bryant in one of his
sweetest songs. The birds, strange to
our land, were first let loose in our
parks in the vicinity of New York and
Brooklyn, and were carefully looked
after by the authorities. Much was ex-
pected of them in the way of destroy
ing noxious insects, more especially
those that injure fruit and trees and
shrubs cultivated for ornament. The
little birds did not accomplish all they
were expected to do, and many people
were disappointed. Some people
thought they should restrict their diet
to insects during the summer, should
eat nothing but the seeds of weeds dur
ing the fall, and that they should hiber-
nate after the manner of reptiles dur
ing the colder portions of the year.
Because the birds were not able to do
all these things, many were Disguised
with them. In some parts of the coun-
try war was declared against them, and
thousands were destroyed. All kinds
of accusations we're brought against
these birds. They were accused of eat
ing fruit, fighting, driving other birds
away, and of being dirty in their habits.
Now all these charges may be made
against nearly all of the small birds.
Even the song birds that are kept In

There are innumerable instances where
cures have been effected by Scovills Sarsa-

eases of the blood, when they had been given
over by their physicians. 1t is one OF the
best remedies ever offered to the public, and
as it is prepared with the greatest care, as a
specific for certain diseases, it is no wonder
that it should be more efrectual than hastily

Take this medicine for all disorders arising
from impure blood. 1t is Endorsed by leading

How Poker was Saved in the West.

Poker was the glory of California,
and of San Francisco In particular.
To endeavor to regulate this great
game so that it should have rules that
could be pointed to as official interpre-
tations of the mysteries surrounding it,
Official action became necessary, because
the unframed minds of amateurs were
beginning to get very much muddled
over the values of different hands, and
there was danger that the confusion
wopld increase, and hopeless corrup-
ton of the great game result, if prompt
action were not taken. In 1874, how
ever, San Francisco arose to the occa-
sion, and, through the board of super
visors, passed law which forever put
stop to strife, and which saved the
great game of poker from utter ruin.
This law, which stands now on our
statute book under the head of section
&c, reads as follows:
Every person who, at the game OF
poker, or who, on betting on hand
of cards as poker hand shall, by
claim, pretense, or representation that
three or four cards of the same suit
beat three aces, or three of any kind,
obtain or take any money, personal
property, or valuable thing, with intent
to cheat and defraud, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and shall be
punished accordingly.
Since that day, when our board oil
supervisors laid down the law which
should stand until time is no more,
poker has been a scientific game, &c
which are brought great talents. great
experience, great patience, and great
skill. The board of supervisors saved
poker from ruin.-,Sdrs Francisco But

In the Stocks.

1t is useful as well as amiable in the

with his friend. Lord Dacre, through
an English village, passed near the par
ish stocks and stopped to comment on
the probable measure of suffering en-
dured by culprits confined in that penal
machine"
I" / don't believe there is any physical
pain in such punishment" says Judge
Camden. "There is the humiliation, of
course, but unless the rabble pelt the
prisoner with brick-bats, the rest is
nothing"
Suppose you try it, and settle your
doubts, answered Dacre.
III do It'll" exclaimed the Judge, and
in trice he was sitting on the ground
with his feet fifteen inches above the
level of his seat, and his ankles encir-
cled by the hard wood.

bolts and leave me for ten minutes"
Lord Dacre complied and left him,
intending to saunter along the lane and
return in ten minutes. But unfortu-
nately he was an absent-minded man,
and falling into one of his reveries as he
walked, he forgot the stocks and his
imprisoned friend.
In the meantime the Chief-Justice
went through every torture of an ago
niZing punishment - acute shootings
along the confined limbs, aching in the
feet, angry pulsations under the toes,
violent cramps in the muscles and
thighs, gnawing pain at the point where
his person came In contact with the cold
ground, pins and needles everywhere
Faintness, fever, giddiness, and raging
thirst added their torments to his physi-
cal discomfort.
He implored peasant to liberate
him, but the fellow answered with a
shout of derision.
He hailed passing clergyman, and
explained that he was not culprit, but

hours-and never mortal man more Bit
terly repented of a sportive freak than
did he. No matter how he was released,
or how he came to n settlement with
Lord Dacre, but circumstance some
time afterward showed that he remem-
bered his sufferings.
At trial in a suit for wrongful con-
viction and confinement in the stocks,
he was on the bench. The plaintiff
described the pain he had endured while
undergoing his unjust punishment, and
the opposing counsel laughed at his
statements. Lord Camden leaned for
ward and turned the lawyers merriment
by asking him in whisper:
Brother, were you ever in the

"Never, my lord" said the astonished
man.

Library. In the party were three
granddaughters of Judge Marshall,
one of whom distinctly remembered

She replied that the profile was an ex-

be better, but that the front view was
not so good.
