Riu Aap in a Strange Tavern.

Where do all the people come from

are full of them and the hotels are
Gro Wded wherever 1 go. They come
and they go. They seem as restless

them in iris large Longing room L
cannot help wondering what is their
business and what they are thinking,
and how many are happy and how
many have some secret sorrow, and

mother away off somewhere. How
much we are all alike if we only
knew it.. Sometimes L venture Il

We are all assimilating: we are rub

more every day, and we understand
each other and find that we are all
Just human and are sailing in the

The north and the south, the east and

internal organs were injured by the
conclusion. The reported action of
the professional men who made the au-

guilty OF such behavior as is described

USEFUL HINTS.

An excellent remedy for hiccough
for young and old is graduated sugar
moistened with pure vinegar.
Coed cider vinegar is Recommend
ed for diarrhea-two ounces for an
adult and one teaspoonful, moderate
ly diluted, for child of one year.
For babies who are fed UPON cows
milk the following recipe is sent by a
correspondent: One ounce of pearl
barley is to he well washed in cold
water. Put it in vessel with half
pint of water, and let it heat gently
and simmer for few minutes over
the fire; pour off this water; replace it
by pint and half of water and boil
it down to a pint. With this water
dilute the cows milk for infants,
thereby rendering it far more nutri-
tious than if diluted with clear water e.
So few people understand the proper
way of rolling music, cheap editions
of novels and pamphlets, that l am
tempted to give them hint on this
subject. 1t certainly Is something of
an annoyance, after removing the
wrapper from new song or novel, to
be compelled to roll in the opposite
direction two or three times before
the leaves are in a condition favorable
for reading. This nuisance can easily
be obviated by rolling the packages so
that the title page shall be on the out
side, instead OF the inside, as is gener-
ally the case. " hen thus rolled, the
music adapts itself to the rack and the
pamphlet to comfortable perusal.

From Washington Letter in Memphis Appeal
II have dog" said Senator Vest,
who had just heard precocious crow
story, "Who is very sagacious. One
morning he watched intently while
negro boy blackened my shoes. The
TO lowing morning he came to where
I was sitting with a blacking-brush
in his mouth. You may not believe
it, but that dog got down on his
launches, spit on my shoes, took the
brush in his teeth and rubbed
away like house on fire. But must
admit that he did not get up
much of polish. One Sunday, while
was living at Sedalia, this dog fol-
lowed me TO church. L noticed that
he watched every movement of the
preacher. That afternoon 1 heard a
terrible bowling of dogs in my back
yard. 1 went out to see what was the
matter My Gog was in the wood
shed standing on his hind legs in an
O. d drygoods box. He held down a
torn almanac with one fore paw and
gesticulated wildly with the other,
while he swayed his head and howled
to an audience of four other dogs,even
more sadly than the preacher , had
heard that morning." mo narrator
of the crow .,cry "threw up the

At Knoxville, Tenn, Oh the night
of September 4th, Lee Sellers, the
supposed murderer Of z. y. Names,
travelling salesman of q knoXVlllc
wholesale firm, was taken from jail
by a mob and disposed FTP suit them
selves. They hung him to the river
bridge, but when the rope began to
tighten around his neck he broke
loose the handkerchief with which
his hands were tied and climbed the
rope until he reached the top OF the
bridge. 4 great number OF shots
were fired at him some of which took
effect, and after laying on the sleepers
for some time, until he was almost
dead, he fell into the river below, a
distance Of nearly one hundred feet,
and has not been seen or heard from
since. He protested his innocence OF
the crime with which he was charged
until the last.

they had not ouly entered the Win

being discovered. The lady looked
on with breathlcss interest, and final
ly had the satisfaction of seeing the
fattest burglar fly away with the
spois, closely followed by his pal.
She says this mournfull piece Of wick

how clevily and thoughtfully their
little plans were carried ont in this

AN INDIANA STORY.

with his head lifted five feet from the
ground, his eyes flashing fire and
darting his fofked tongue from MS
massive MOUTH with lightning rapid
ity. The young man, although, rs
he describes it, "alm0St parilized,
had the presence Of mind to turn his
team short around, thereby avoiding
the stroke Of the snake, and 30 doubt
saving his horses from the coil OF the
monster, which meant death.
These gentlemen in describing Inc
snake were visibIy affected, and al
though two hours had cIa=pcd since
the excitement, and started ut the

the serpent is probably eNaggrratc"
