MERCHANT AND MELON.
A Wealthy BostOnian's Experience with a
Country Constable.

One of Boston's richest and most re-.
spected retired merchants owns large
country seat in the near suburbs. The
other Sunday morning he rose at four
o'clock and spent the morning hours in
walking over his broad acres. On this
particular occasion his dress was more
Indicative of a tramp than of mil
lionaire. He wanted to 90 to an ad
joining field to pick fresh melon fol-
breakfast. Going out we'll into the mid.
die he deliberately chose the finest one
in the patch and fastened to make his
way out. AS he jumped over stone
wall and was about to enter the high
way, some one from the rear rushed up
like tornado, and grasping his collar
with no gentle hand, exclaimed, while
shaking the old man with vigor that
made that person think of his school,
days:
"Ain't yer ashamed of yerself, yer old
tramp, to impose on respectable man
this way. Stealing melons, are ye
Well, you won't steal any more this
week, you contemplate old vagrant.
don't want to hear any of yer CUFF;
caught yer; that's enough for me. VI
Then, with another shake that made his
victims teeth chatter with fear, he
made tracks for police headquarters.
On the way the old farmer recovered
in degree his self-possession and vent
ured to demonstrate with his stalwar
companion.
GLOW dare you attempt such {
thing" sputtered the irate victim as hi
was forced over the road, regardless.
of mud or water '.Do you think II
stand itp No, / won't" he shouted
Pretty country this, if man can

there, MIR. Jones, come here and helI
metz he yelled, as he was travelling
past neighbours house at an extra
ordinary rate of speed.
"Oh, shut up" pulled the sturdy pc
liceman, as he tried to force ''h S man
along at a faster gait THAT gas
don't work in these parts"
Suddenly the ''copper's'' CHI
dropped until it seemed to touch hi
waist band.
A weary, troubled sort of an oath es
capped his lips. Neighbor Jones ha'
responded with alacrity to his friend
call, and Selling o crowoar, came dow

"What's the matter, Samuel
Where's yer going?" he shouted.

The crowbar and a word of explana
ton had the desired effect. As tn
crestfallen officer turned his course to
ward the melon patch he muttcred t
himself: The stingy old cuss! it wa
good enough for him."
The police force is still employed t.
guard the fruit-laden acres, but tina
particular constable has retired. Hi
health was poor, the pay small and tn
experiences unsatisfactory. He is nov

A SILVER-SHOD HORSE,
The Way Wealthy Woman Disposed of
Part of Her Income.

Tho Way a Wealthy Woman Disposed of
Part of Her Income.
A visitor to the Westinghouse stables,
in the East End, sees among an array
of handsome blooded horses one of pc
culiar beauty of color and carriage.
Casual notice is 1uickened into close
inspection when it is noticed that the
horse never moves. He is dead. Though
lifeless, he is, perhaps, the only horse
in America to-day which wears full
set of solid silver shoes. Mrs. George
Westinghouse is the leader of the East
End fashionable life. Her dresses are
the costliest her receptions the most
brilliant and her turnout the finest in
the city. Her husband is said to have
settled an income of $l50,000 per year
in pin-money upon her. She is lady
of artistic taste and year ago she de-
cided upon team of cream colored
horses, with flowing, snowy names.
Such horses are as rare as they are
beautiful, but Mrs. Westinghouse, moth
ing daunted, set about to procure them.
Four agents were employed, and for
months the country was secured, and
stables and stock-farms were ransacked
to find the silver-tipped horses, At last
the team was turned over to their de-
lighted mistress. They cost but 1000,
but the expense of getting them was
enormous. Mrs Westinghouse, early
in the use of her new acquisition, be.
came concerned as to what she should
do if one of them should die. The
agents who secured the first pair were
sent out to secure third. They were
successful, and the three beauties were
soon on friendly terms. The strangest
part Of the story is, perhaps, that wha'
Mrs Westinghouse feared, the death o.

A WATER-MUSEUM.
The Advantage 1t Has Over the Ordinar,
Aquarium.

lhc huSNRit"bo IL mas over the ordinary
Aquarium.
A water-museum consists of plass
vessels containing fish, mollusks, larvae,
and such other creatures as will live in
the small quantity of water these vessels
hold. The great advantage that the
water-museum has over the aquarium
is, that while the latter is bulky and has
many dark corners in which you can
see only with difficulty, if at all, the jars
OF the museum can be easily carried
about and held to the light, so that YOU
can readily observe the smallest move
ments of your specimens. Besides, in
an aquarium you can have but one kind
OF water at Il time, either salt or fresh,
and you can keep only those specimens
That will live together peaceably; but in
water-museum one may have both
sorts of water Gn different vessels), and
both marine and fresh-water specimens.

costs very little, while an aquarium is
not only expensive but troublesome.

these the best for our purpose, in size
from four inches in diameter by six in

that they will all get plenty of light, as
this is necessary to most forms of life.
one or two of the large jars had best be
used for fish, and to make them attrac.
tive their bottoms should be covered
with clean river sand and pebbles, OF
fragments of rock IN the shape of grot-
toes, as the fish like to rest on these and
to eat the almost invisible weeds that

Sudden Death.

The Royal Hawaiian Band was pre-
vented from playing in Emma SQUARE,
last evening, owing to the sud-
den death of one of its most faithful
members. Kahoa, whose somewhat
portly presence as second alto was
familiar to all, has complained of being
unwell for some days past, but was well
enough to play through the firing dav
of Saturday, and even ut shutdown yes
terday was walking around with Band
master Berger He went home shortly
before o'clock, laid down and in a very
few minutes afterwards complained Of a
beating of the heart and pain in the
bowels. A short struggle, and he was
dead. Kahoa was about 80 years of age,
and had played with the band for Is
years. He was an ardent church MEM
Der, belonging to the Kawaiahao cOngre-
CATION, and a total abstainer from intoxi-
eating liquors. Well-behayed and OF an
amiable disposition, he was respected
and liked by all who knew him. He

had often been warned to take medicine
for chronic constipation of the bowels,

time comes" KahOa will be buried this
