A Newspaper Man Ahead.

During an excursion from Pittsburg
while at Cleveland the Kennard House
was crowded, when Druggist. appeared
late at night at the hotel office and de-
manded bed. The clerk replied that
there was only two vacant beds i'll the
house, one wherein was quartered a
Pittsburg morning newspaper and the
other a Pittsburg evening newspaper
man, who were with the excursion.
TO tell the truth, they are both pret-
ty drunk; so you may take your choice
as to which room you will sleep in"
The druggist said he would take his
chance With the evening newspaper man
and he would doubtless be SO drunk that
quiet all night He went to bed and
was soon sound asleep. The journalist,
however, awakened about 12 O'Clock and,
thinking it long time between drinks,
dressed himself unconsciouslyin the drug
gist's clothes and sailed out. Ever and
anon he muttered as he treted all present:
Funniest thing l ever heard of.
When went to bed last night l only

The Souls Anesthetic.

90 .ssssBut men can get hardned to anything.
l used to look upon corpse with awful
solemnity, but during the war the sight
became SO common that l could almost
step on the dead to avoid a ditch or a
mud hole. I have seen soldiers who were
kind andhuman at home rifle the pockets
of the dead upon the battle field and
chuckle over their findings. Just so it is
with the rich. They get utterly harden
ed to poverty and pass on. They will weep
over pathetic actings in the theatre, but
laugh at scenes as sad upon the steets.
They will shed tears of sympathy for lit
tie Nell, but carelessly pass by the beggar
children on the highway.

grief of his fellow-men. would be afraid
to have much money. Peter Cooper
and Peabody could be trusted but they
are dead. When will the world wake
up to the rights of the poor and unfor-

one comfort and am glad of it. The
poor can suffer and then-die. The rich
can feast and frolic and then-die's too.

.sccret NTnils" inIndin

Atlanta Constitution.
In a recent issue. the London Specta-
tor has an article on the mysterious
methods of conveying news employed
by the natives of India. Just what tn ese
methods are no Anglo-Indian has ever
been able to discover, but they enable
the natives to forestall the government
in the transmission of important news.
During the Indian mutiny, information
in regard to all the important events was
in possession of the bazaars hours and
days before it reached the government.
notwithstanding the fact that the latter
often took special measures to insure the
rapid transmission of the news. The
natives themselves place implicit conf
dence in the news carried by the secret
mail. and do not hesitate to act upon it..
The Spectator suggests the employ
ment of carefully laid "stages, but no
European has ever seen a stage" in
operation or discovered any of its ma
ohinery. IL runners are employed, the
fact has never been disclosed-and yet
the news has been transmitted on 6
scale SO large that any ordinary method
must have inevitably been discovered
On one occasion, when the government
had made special arrangements for the
transmission of news, the secret mai
/ beat the government horses and carriers
twelve hours. The natives of India
when they can be prevailed on to tall
about the matter, say that the secre
mail Is based ON q system Of thought
transmission, which is as familiar (,
them as the electric telegraph
is to Europeans.

How Ladies Redden Their Lips.

How Ladies Redden Their Lips.
Philadelphia North American,
80 far as my experience goes" said
a physician, painting their lips is not a
widespread vice in America. 1t is sell
dom resorted to, for men of the smallest
observations know the methods wo-
men pursue for making their lips red.
"They bite them. 1t is impossible to
see a woman in car or anywhere when
men are around that they do not cOntin-
ually press their lips with their teeth,
and bite them with more or less fierce
ness. This brings the blood to them and
makes them red. Still, as it also keeps
them from chapping in the winter, there
is no reason why it should be condemned.
As for the cosmetic, they have almost
gone out of date, and have not any
thing like the run they used to have. Wo
men have at last learned that good health
brings color, and exercise has taken the
place of powder and paint.

Young Diplomats at Washington.

Young Diplomats at Washington.
The Argonaut.
In Europe it is.considered almost dis
grace to be ordered on service at the
capital of the Unitd States. Tehse dip
lomatic creatures are regarded by the
majority of the people in Washinton as
so many social vermins. If it were not
for the numerous public receptions during
the season, where refreshments are
served, these impecunious foreigners
would starve. They are protected, how
ever, by their position from being prose
cuted for debt, and so for that reason
manage hold of unsuspecting trades-peo-
pie, from time to time. and keep up the
ghost of an appearance. Occasionally
they find young American lady with
money who is fool enough to marry one
of them. No one need waste any sympathy
upon her, however. Any woman who
marries one of the attaches of the for.
eign legations there does it with her eyes
/ open.

From the Memphis Sunday Times
4 Louisville girl who was visiting here
a short time ago scored a signal triumph
over a fresh young society man of this
city They were sitting upon sofa to-
gether and as the conversation progress
ed he allowed his arm to gradually fall
down until he had it around her waist.
She arose very indignant and he made
the following explanation and apology:
81 hope you will not think anything of
this 1t is just way l have. All the
Memphis boys act the same and you will
have to get used to it. hope you will
not take any offense at it, as it's just my
way"
She left the room, but came back in a
few minutes with married friend and
sat down on the sofa again. Soon she
began to yawn and give every ostensible
proof OF being thoroughly bored. Fin
ally she said: I'm dreadfully sleepy
and hope you'll go home. You mustn't
take any offense at this. All the Louis
vile girls act the same way. You are
exceedingly tiresome and you had better
go home at once. Don't be offended at
this. 1t is simply way have"
He stood not on the order of his going.

ARCTIC DOG sLEDGING.
Not Such Amusing Work as it is Sup
posed to Be.

Not Such Amusing W ork as 1T rs sup
posed to Be.
Speaking of BIelville's book on the Le-
ma Delta, the Literary World says:
SIedfng is never an easy matter in Sibe-
ria. The dogs are equarrelsome, and very
difficult to manage, as the following de-
scription of journey with team of
eleven dogs will show; Away we went
with the dogs in full cry, all yelping,
swapping, biting, and seizing each other
from behind, those in front turning
round to fight back, until some one were
drawn off their feet and dragged along
at a fearful rate; Vasilli yelling at the
stop OF his voice, coaxed, scolded, and
anathematised by turn, until at length,
by dint Of twisting and rolling over,
the team became entangled into one
living mass Of vicious flesh. To pacify
and disentangIe the crazy CANNES, Vasil-
" Ii leaped upon them with his iron-pointed
guiding staff and the only astonishing
thing to me was how the poor brutes
could live under such a heavy beating.
1t is true some of them, after receiving
! a severe blow on the small of the back,
did drag their hind legs for few min
utes; but in the end it did not seem to
check their desire to bite and fight. Yet
they We're considerably more tractable
after this, their first beating, and ran
along at a more even pace, following the
leaders, who in turn were guided and
governed by Vassilli'5 word of command:
Tuck Tuck Taduck Taduck Stoi,
stoj right, right; left, left; stop stop;
aud a general chuckle OF encourage
ment.
The dogs moreover, are SO ferOcious
that if they meet team of rein deer
they will at once attack and kill
them. On one occasion Mr.. Melville was
proceeding by deersledge when he en-
countered a team of dogs. His driver
at once drew off the road into a wood
stationing Mr. Melville with a huge
stick to prevent the dogs from following.
They came on in hot pursuit, despite
\ the efforts of their driver, when a stout
) blow from the stick caused the leading
dog to turn round and attack his neigh
Dor, and i'm an instant the whole team
was embroiled in q free aud easy, -"
while the deer team made their escape.

Queen of England was the only Euro

ton Of Germany.
D. R. Francis, the new Mayor of st.
Louis, is not yet 40 years old. His rise
has been due to what is known as a streak
of luck. He married a wealthy young

speculation boldly on Change. A dead
lock in the convention gave him the
Mayorality nomination, and lac was
elected without trouble.
An effort has been made to cultivate
the nettle, with the object of obtaining
from it a material for weaving. A lady
in Germany has raised nettles on patches
of waste or nearly proftless land, and
has secured a crop which has yielded
fibres of such fineness and tenacity that
she has induced some farmers in her
neighborhood to try what further i'm
provement can be effected in the nettle
by growing it on soil formerly devoted
to wheat.

How He Saved One Man From Be.

Stockton Maverick.
'Uncle Joe" as he is familiarly

in Stockton, who is always ready with
a story of some of his wonderous ex-
ploits of days gone by. The other eve
ming while sitting in a Levee street sa-
loon talking to a party of friends, the
conversation drifted to the theme of
hanging, whereupon the aged darkey
remarked that he had saved one man

How He Married Her.

General Hunts father was one Of the
homeliest men in Washington He was
a physician. After he had practiced
his profession for a time, he married a
Miss Ringold, one Of the handsomest
young ladies in all Maryland. The
story of the marriage has been told me
by an old Washingtonian. One time
was visiting General Jackson's family,
when he was an occupant of the White
House. During my stay | was taken

upon DR.. Hunt TO attend me. When he
came into the room | was confined to
my bed, President Jackson came with
him. The two thought l was asleep,

before the FIRE and began CONVEX sa-
ton. heard the General say:
"Hunt, how did you ever happen to
marry Miss Ringold?"
"I'll tell you," said the physician;
"when she was attending boarding
school her eyes became injured and she
was blinded. | was called to prescribe
for her. For some time kept her eyes
bandaged, and she finally recovered
her sight, but she did not see me. A
year or so afterward we CHANGED to be
together at reception. She knew that
l had previously attended her, and that
evening she came to me, and complain,
ed of suffering from severe cold, and
asked me to prescribe. took from my
pocket blank prescription and wrote:

Fingers and Thumbs.

Beware of the person whose fingers
turn backward. He is unjust, subtle,
ingenious, and the heater his fingers
seem to be, the more mischievous is he,
and an enemy to virtue.
Fingers which cling TO each other de-
note changeable character.
Long and large fingers betoken liber-
ality, true friendship, good condition.
Fingers too short, with thick ends
and fat, will be dishonest and sly.
Fingers that stand apart from each
other, poverty, wretchedness, and much
talk about self.
Neryeless fingers denote want of char.
acter-trembling.
Twitching fingers, drunkard.
Small taper fingers on woman show
INDIGESTION of character, dantiness and
deceit.
If the nails are oblique, want Of
courage.
A large, well-made hand inclines to
a generous, unselish disposition.
Little, round nails, mean obstinacy
and anger and violent love.
Long, pure white nails. especially on
a woman's hand, are an indication of a
deceitful nature, with great strength,
and cruel, crafty love.
Red nails signify cruelty, desperate
love.
Spots on the edge of the nails, vio-
lent death.
1.-THE thumb" says Newton, sis a
convincing proof of Immortality" with
out it the hand is useless. The only
animal that has thumb is the ape, but
it is an imperfect member, and does not
assist the animal to a more intelligent
use of its hand or paw. Roman slaves
used to cut off their thumbs because
they lacked the courage to go to war,
and were considered with adherence.
Infants while very young, and idiots,
who cannot control thought, have no
use of their thumbs, and keep them
clasped loosely in the clenched hand.
