fills his mouth with water, has his
snowy tuft of cotton ready gummed,
finds his bee, gently drenches it with
water spurted from his mouth, picks it
up while it is still Indignantly shaking
itself free from the water which clogs
its wings, and with dexterous touch
he affixes in an instant the tell-tale cot
ton.
Very much out of patience, no doubt,
with the sudden and unexpected rain

Two Kinds.

If one looks at the home life of our
well-known society women, it will be
found they are more lovely in the seclu-
sion of their families than at the head
of some brilliant society exploit.
These women are helpmeets to their
husbands in every sense of the word,
and are noble mothers. Their daugh-
tiers have the example of their mothers
as guide, and in almost every case
will follow that example in building
their own homes. They have been
taught the responsibilities and duties
of their positions, if not in theory, at
least in practice, by their mothers
Such women are, as rule, very plain
in person and dress, and at first one is
at loss to know how they have secured
such position. There is beauty of
mind and morals. The other faction.
the parasites, do not possess the worth
of the real leaders, but they have ply
steal charms which they know how to
use. They have better Style as far
as dress goes, than their rivals, but
they lack the art of retaining admira-
ton. They appear best under gaslight.
They are fully conscious of their de-
fects, and aim to possess all the priv
ileges accorded women, without assum-
ing the duties. They step into the
best places with the air of those to the
manor born, and are not overscrupulous
as to the means by which they attain
their object. 1t is this class that have
caused men to speak sneeringiy and
lightly of all wofnen.-San Francis

Gen. Grants Rrficence.

He was never q secretive man until
the positions of responsibility in which
he was placed compelled him to be
chary of giving expression to his opin-
ions He then learned the force of the
philosophers maxim that the unspoken
word is a sword in the scabbard, while
the spoken word is q sword in the
hands of ones enemy.
In the field there were constant Wis
itors in camp ready to circulate any in
timations of the commanders move
ments, at the risk of having such valu-
able information reach the enemy; in
the White House, every encouraging
expression to an applicant for favors
was apt to be tortured into promise,
and the President naturally became
guarded in his intercourse with general
visitors. When questioned beyond the
bounds of propriety, his lips closed like
q vice, and the obtruding party was
left to supply all the subsequent con-
versation. The circumstances pro-
claimed him man who studied to be
uncommunicative, and gave him rep
utation for reserve which could not
fairly be attributed to him. He was
called the American Sphinx" and
ULYSSES the Silent" and he was popu-
larly supposed to move about with
sealed lips.
When accompanying him through
New England the summer after the
close of the war, it was soon seen that
the stories of his reticence had pre-
coded him. The trip was the first of
those grand ovations with which he
was always greeted by the people
through whose communities he travelled.
The train stopped for few minutes at
a small town in Maine, and the people,
as usual, took the opportunity of ex-
tending greeting and delivering their
words of welcome. AS the General
stood in the doorway of the rear car,
a tall. gaunt-looking woman elbowed
her way through the crowd till she got
near the platform. Here she stopped,
and put on pair of spectacles with
glasses in them that looked about as
big as the lenses in large telescopes,
and taking a good look at the General,
said, gasping for breath as she spoke,
"WGl, I've come down hyere a-runnin'
right on the clean Jump, nigh on to tew

The Deliriums Of Cocaine.

Cocaine, the new anasthetic, which
as n cure for hay fever and similar
trouble spromises to become familiar
antidote, carries with it evils as great
as opium or alcohol when the habit of
its use becomes fixed. A Rochester
physician describes it's peculiar effects
upon the system that is addicted to it /:
While person in normal health Is ex-
hilarated by the use of the drug to
such an extent that natural cowardice
is supplanted by the greatest daring,
the slave to the drug, though previous
to his enthrallment one of the bravest
of men, becomes the most arrant cow
ard. He will not sleep, except at long
intervals. but never loses his appetite,
eating heartily as soon as the nausea
induced by the injection passes off. No
mental faculties are clouded or dulled,
but owing to extreme constipation the
victim is prey to lethargy, and will
not undertake any great labor or enter
prise, becomes untidy in person, I'M
clean in thought, and morally deprayed.
Some victims have continued their en-
ployment, but, on account of their
aversion to action, with great diminu-
ton of success. Opium, like other
narcotics and intoxicants used to excess,
causes persons to become absolutely in
different TO all relations, duties, and
obligations, they even become brutal.
but not nearly so brutal or depraved as
the cocaine slaves. The victim does
not sleep or care to, so long as the
drug affects him he will lie awake,
happy in the insomnia, seeing every
thing about him, and yet exhilarated to
wonderful degree. Authorizations
come with night, not of the pleasant
order usually ascribed to opium. but
CHASTITY and horrible phantoms to be
chased away only by light. These inn
aginary beings creep in through the
cracks in the door and every other en-
trance conceivable to the diseased mind.
Such periods are as terrible as the par
oxysms of delirium tremens.

Men Of Extraordinary Strength.

Many stories of strong men and ex-
traordinary feats of strength are to be
found In the annals of all countries.
Ancient history abounds in tlrem, and
the hero of the medieval chronicles in
this respect was Caesar Borgia, who, it
is said, could fell bullock by blow
of his fist. One of the most extraordi-
nary athletes that England has pro-
duced was Thomas Topham, who was
born in London in I'LL. The first
proof he gave of his prod1gious
strength was pulling against horse i'll
Moorfields, and afterward lifting a
rolling stone 800 pounds weight, with
his hands only, standing in a frame
above it, and taking hold of a chain
that was fastened to it. He could roll
up pewter dish of seven pounds as
easily as another man could sheet of
paper; hold a quart pot at arms length
and squeeze the sides together like an
egg-shell; lift 200 weight with his little
finger, and move it gently over his
head; he could lift an oak table six
feet long, to which half hundred
weight was attached, with his teeth,
and, resting it against his knees, hold

cradle time. He raised with one hand
man who weighed twenty-seven stone.
His head being laid upon one chair and
his feet upon another, four people,
fourteen stone each, sat upon his body,
which he heaved at pleasure. He could
strike a round bar of iron about yard
long and three inches in diameter
against his naked arm, and at one
stroke bend it like a bow. He lifted
two hogsheads of water. heaved his
horse over turnpike gate, and carried
the beam of q house across his shout
ders as easily as another man would
rifle. Once, finding Waterman asleep
IN his box in .Chiswell street. Moor
fields, he took up the box and man in
his arms, carried them some distance,
and then dropped them over the rail
ings into a place called Tyndalls Bury
ing Ground. There was nothing of the
giant in his appearance. he was In
height about five feet ten, well made,
but not strikingly so, and walked with
slight limp; but what we're hollows
under the arms and hams in other men
were in him filled up with muscle. He
once made a wager that three horses
could not draw him from a post, round
which he clasped his feet, and it was
only by giving them sudden lash and
twist that the driver succeeded in
doing so and in breaking Topham's
thigh at the same time.

A broncho is q horse, says the editor
of the Santa Fe Democrat. He has
four legs, like the saw-horse, but is de-
cidedly more slittish. The broncho is
of gentle department and modest mien,
but there isn't real safe place about
him. There is nothing mean about the
broncho. though; he is perfectly rea-
sonable and acts on principle. AN he
asks is to be let alone, but he does ask
this, and even insists on it. He is firm
in this matter, and no kind of argument
can shake his determination. There is
broncho that lives some miles from
Santa Fe. We know him right well.
One day man roped him and tried to
put saddle on him. THE broncho
looked sadly at him, shook his head,
and begged the fellow as plain as could
be to go away and not try to interfere
with a broncho who was simply en-
gagged in the pursuit of his own happi-
ness; but the man came on with the
saddle and continued to aggress. Then
the broncho reach out with his right
hand foot and expostulated with him SO
that he died. When thoroughly arous-
ed the broncho is fatal, and if you can
get close enough to examine his cranial
structure you will find cavity just
above the eye, where the bump of re-
morse should be.
The broncho is what the cowboys call
"high strung" If you want to know just
how high he is strung, climb up on his
apex. We rode o broncho once. We
didn't travel far, but the ride was
mighty exhilarating while it lasted,
We got on with great pomp and der
rick, but we didn't put on any unneces-
sary style when we went TO get of. The
beast evinced considerable surprise
when we took up our location upon
his dorsal fin. He seemed to think
moment, and then he girded up his
loins and delivered a volley of heels
and hardware straight out from the
shoulder. The recoh was fearful. We
saw that our seat was going to be con-
tested, and we began to make motion
to dismount, but the beast had got
under way by this time, so we breathed
silent hymn and frightened our grip.
He now went off into spasm of tall,
stiff-legged bucks. He pitched us SO
high that every time we started down
we would meet him coming up on an
other trip. Finally he gave us one
grand farewell boost, and we Glove the
ornament and split up through the
hushed ethereal until our toes ached
from the lowness of temperature, and
we could distinctly hear the music of
the spheres. Then we came down and
fell, in little heap, about one hundred
yards from the starting point. A kind
Samaritan gathered up our remains in a
cigar box and carried us to hospital,
AS they looked pityingly at us the at
tending surgeons marveled as to the
nature of our mishap. One said it was
a cyclone, another said it was rail-
road smash-up; but we thought of the
calico-hided pony that was grazing
peacefully in the dewy mead, and held
our peace.

Bee-Hunting in Australia.

In Australia the native adopts o very
peculiar plan for discovering wild
honey. He knows that bees never
wander very far from home, seldom
more than two miles; and he also
knows that when a bee is laden with
honey it makes, as nearly as possible,
a straight line for home. All that is
necessary, then, is to find bee that is
well laden and follow it. But that is
more easily said than done. Any boy
who has tried to follow the big and gay
colored bumble-bee to its nest knows
how great task il is. But that is a
mere trifie to following the sober little
honey-bee, which can be lost, like a
dream, against gray-colored hillside.
In order to be followed, the bee
must have distinguishing mark that
can be easily seen. and with such a
badge the Australian provides it. He
gums o small tuft of white cotton to
the bees back, and thus follows il with
comparative ease.
But the question now comes up, how
is the cotton to DO put upon the bees
back? The gum is quickly fcupd-it

found thousand enemies spring up by magic
to replace each one whom he had slain. Re-
ports from Washington are to the effect that
so far from being rid Of the crowd Of Office
seekers, as he had hoped, after the first froth
of Democratic spirits had evaporated, the ap-
plicants are more numerous and more persist

reform sword he frightened away the early
corners, but these have been replaced by
others more determined and more hungry
who mean business, and who utterly refuse
to be dispersed. What to do with them the

obey, sooner or later, in self-defense.
