The other day when everything took a tumble, and the bottom seemed to have dropped out of Wall street and left hole big enough to take in the whole coun- try, a holder who was being pinched and scraping his soul for more margins, was informed that a visitor desired to see him.
 Can't see anybody" was his reply.
 In five minutes the messenger came back with the announce ment that it was very important business.
 Cant help it; I'm in no condi- ton to see my own father"
 A third time the messenger dis appeared, but third time re- turned to say:
 "He says it's case of life or death, sir"
 This decided the operator to admit the unknown. He entered with an easy step and pleasant smile, and after mature delibera- tion softly inquired,
 Ny friend, how is it with thy soul?"
 My soul? Halifax and Texas! Do you think a man who has S60,- GOO worth of stocks shrivelling up on him him like cabbage leaf on hot stove has any time to fool away on his soul2 You git

"We have held a consultation ,''

"We have held a consultation" said a doctor to his patient, "but we are unable to agree as to the exact nature of your disease. Three of the physicians are of one opinion while I am of another" But, doctor'', said the patient, "how will the matter be settled?" ''Oh, the autopsy will show who knows best."-N. Y. Sun

The American women have the fnestshaped and smallest feet of any nationality. The conform ation of the American female foot IS usually round, with an arched instep. There are very few fiat footed American women. French women often have fine feet, especially those from the locali- ties which were invaded by the Saracens and where there exists a mingling of the Saracen blood Chicago News.

Mir. Bancroft. the historian, has funny way of making mock scowls, aud saying to people of 50 or 60 years of age: "Why, my child, I'm as old as the hills. I'm the oldest person you ever knew" The next minute he may be speak ing in the most serious and un- conscious manner of ''poor old MT. Corcoran," who is just his own age.

An Alabama Judge said: "The defendant is not responsible for taking the victims life, for he was a peculiar sort of fellow and should have died anyway" He is almost as bad as the Arkansaw Judge who said: "Gentlemen of the jury, l am glad to see that you find verdict of not guilty.

Queen Victoria detests smokers, and keeps up in palaces the stand ing order: "Posltively no smoking here," much to the annoyance of the Prince of Wales, who, as the first dandy of the land, net only smokes, but sets all the fashions, though his reputation as rake is exaggerated. The Queen is noted also for three other things, ridiculous dressing, stinginess and fondness for Germans and Scotch men.

Bob" Odlum, who jumped from the Brooklyn bridge and was killed, was genial, hearty fellow, liked by all who knew him. In the summer of 1883 Odlum was one of an excursion party from Washington to Fortress Monroe. He insisted upon jumping from the rigging of schooner that lay-to in the harbor. He shot straight down till within perhaps fifteen feet of the water, when, losing his balance, he turned over completely, by the merest chance striking the water feet first. When he came out he said: "1hat's as close a shave as I will ever have and live" "How about your pro- posed Brooklyn bridge leap, Bob?" was asked by one of the party. II shall do that some day, if it costs me my life"

Wife" Here is an item in this paper about a man who lost a thousand dollars last night at poker. I do think it is scandalous the way men squander their money; there ought to be a law against this gambling business. By the way, John, I would like some money to pay that millinery bill"

Why Was He Sent to the LegisIas
 furQ9

The representative to the Legis- lature from Queens county struck his favorite attitude, glared upon the House, and in low, deep tones of much de1iberation, said with great impressiveness:
 ""For what did my constituents send me here?"
 And then with a glare again, brought down his brows and re- peated in a voice of thunder as he looked straight at the member from Paradise Park:
 For what did my constituents send me here?"
 Taking this as direct appeal to him for important information, Jimmie Oliver jumped to his feets and with his right hand pointing to the zenith, said in tones of taking earnestness:

 The Cabinet officers wives have each year first to call upon the wives of the Justices of the Su preme Court, and then upon the Senators wives-every one of them. Having gotten rid of those seventy odd social debts, the cards of general callers pour in upon them at the rate of 300, 400 and 500 per week, and the senseless, old unwritten law com mands that every one of them shall be returned in person. 4 dozen instances can be quoted where women died, OF were left invallds for years, by this stupid exaction of society. There has been great talk ali of the time against the absurdity of the GUS tom, now that Washington has grown so far beyond it's estate in the days when it was establishedy but none like to assume the in iative in doing away with 1t, and it would require concerted action to carry it through successfully.

Now they had 10 say farewell forever.
To the maiden thus the stripping murmured:
Three broad rivers, maiden, run before thee;
Nigh the third the garden green is growing;
Inthe garden blooms a tree of roses;
From that rose tree pluck rose, o maiden,
Lay Il near thy heart. within thy bosom;
Faster than the rose leaves fade within u,

To the STRIPPING thus the maiden answered;
"Three high mountains, youth, arise before

From the third there flows quiet fountain;
Nigh the fountain lies rock of marble;
On the marble stands a silver chalice;
In the silver chalice lies a snowflake.
Bear away the snowflake from the beaker;

Faster than the fake of snow dissolveth,

Electric lights have become a part
of the outfit of war ship, and it will
be curious to observe the part they play
in naval engagements. With their aid
night may almost be turned into day in
the vicinity of vessel, so that fighting
may be carried on in the darkest night.
The glare of one of these lights thrown
against hostile ship will bring her
sides, her ports, her rigging and even
her crew into plain view, so that broad
sides may be aimed at her as accurate
ly as in midday. There is one difficult
ty, however. Both vessels will have
these lights, and the glare on the eyes
of the gunners might lead to mutual
bewilderment and confusion. A half
dozen big war ships OH a side banging
away at one another in dark night in

lamps would be ghostly sort of spe-

ring was worn on the fourth finger OF
the left hand. 1t was not always plain,
but often bore device, as a key to de-
note the authority and responsibility
of wife in her husbands s house.
The diamond was much esteemed as
a wedding ring in Italy during the
18th and 18th centuries, for that gem
was believed to have a mysterious
power of maintaining happiness be-
tween husband and wife. Silver rings,
inaid with Niello, were also used.
Gemmed rings were in fashion for

times three or four delicate rings were

Feeding Chickens by Machine.
Milwaukee Sentinel.


That curious contrivance the French stufing
machine, was on exhibition at the pet-stock
fanciers' show in New York city, last week. Its
office is to make fowls eat whether they want to
or not the object being to make them fat. The
machine consists of tripod supporting cylin-
der From the bottom of the cylinder runs a
rubber tube with curved metallic nozzle on
the end. An iron piston connected with an iron
rod fits into the cylinder. Now, when
Thanksgiving or some other festival
which requires the slaughtering of
fowls is approaching, and the farmer sees in his
flock some wise old hen or turkey which per-
sstenty refuses to get fat, he sezes that refrac-
tory bird and jams the nozzle of the rubber tube
down itsthroat. The cylinder is filed with fat
tening food and force is applied so that the food
is forced through the rubber tube into the crop
of the fowl. OF course, the fowl is mad as a
halter" and tries its best not to digest its nvol
untary meal But it is of no use; turkeys and
hens are not blessed with dyspepsia, and the un-
fortunate creature treated to this process every
day finds itself growing fatter, until finally the
climax is reached.

Select two such shades of single worsted as
you may think are pretty together. and likely to
be nice for the purpose wanted. Of the darkest
shade set up ninety-six stitches on the largest
size steel knitting needles, for number one
boot; four additional stitches for each larger
size. Knit once round plain then knit two and
seam two, taking the back OF the knitted stitch.
Do this for two rounds; the third time round re-
verse; knitting the scanned stitches and vice versa
On the ninth round knit two stitches together
as nearly in the middle as you can, and
use this afterwards as the center of the front
After this, each time round narrow on one side
and slip and bind on the other marrow first, slip
and bind after) side of this middle: stitch until
the original number of stitches is reduced about
half. This makes the ankle right. When eight
cen times round Tor nine blocks) have been knit,
seam around plain three or four times to form Dor
der TO darker color; then join lighter color knit
ting once around plain. Then with the lighter col
ored worsted knit one and seam one, taking back
of knitted stitch as before Knit thirty n! ne
rounds of lightcolor, binding off very loosely on
the fortieth.
Get soles from a shoemaker, the right size
and have him cut, welt and punch holes for con-
venence in sewing on tops. Sew on with strong
linen thread, or twist waxed and doubled.
Paste cloth or canton flannel inside on the sole,
and crochet or border place to run ribbon
about an inch wide) through, and a simple
scollop is enough around the top of the boot.
Run in ribbon the shade of one of the worStedS
used and tie.
Single worsted can be had in many more
beautiful shades than can be found in the double.
For this reason, and because we like it better,
we prefer to use it and knit it double-that is,
knit two threads of it together-than to use the
double worsted it In crocheting
around the top to finish off the boots, use but
one thread of the worsted These invalid
boots" as they are called, are quite new, they
fit the foot beautifully and are very warm and
comfortable, as we'll as handsome when nicely
made.
