Our OfficiOuS Friend.

The world is full of people who take
too warm an interest in other peoples
affairs, so full to overfiowing that some
times one is quite willing to wish there
was another planet ready to receive the
overflow.
Sooth to say, there are apt to be
more women among these officious
people than pride of sex allows us to
find pleasant. They are omnipres-
ent, too; they come to console you in
your sorrows when you long to be left
alone with your troubles, and they car
ry flowers to your graves for you-not
always the actual material graves,
either, where the dead lie buried, but
the graves of your happiness and joys;
they pry into your religious views, and
bring you good books that you have
not requested of them; they waylay
your children, and proffer them advice
and instruction that it is to be supposed
you fail to give. 1t is the officious wo-
man who is always telling you that
your hair, or your collar, or your skirts.
or your shoe-strings are out of order.
who is hunting for the unattainable pin
to give you with which to correct the
mischief, drawing everybody's atten-
ton to it as she does so, usually never
finding the pin, and her officiousness
only serving to let you go away with
an uncomfortable sensation of disorder
that you did not have before.
But this often kindly meant and al
ways ill-required quality is by no means
confined to one sex. Men, in general.
have so much to occupy them that they
have not great opportunity or inclina-
ton for too much officiousness; vet
there are not wanting shining examples
in the stronger and buster sex.
In fine, the officious person, whether
offering to pick up your stitches and
dropping more, or offering to get your
paper negotiated for you and letting
all the city into the secret of its worth
lessness, only adds to the trouble of
the world; and contemplating the in
dividual, we consider anew the posi-
bility of a patent brick moon like that
which Mr.. Hale once launched into
space whose hollow arches these officious
friends of ours would be the first to ex-
plore while the mass waited for its i'm
pulsion, coming suddenly and taking
them unawares, would give them a
pleasant journey to the heavens, and
rid the earth of goodly portion of its
surplus population.

Cases Alter Circumstances.

A report having been circulated that
coal oil had been discovered on a GER
tain farm in Maryland, a resident of
Baltimore, who happened to be in the
vicinity when he first heard of it, pro-
ceeded to the farm to find the owner
away and nobody around but the hired
man.
My man." said the Baltimorean, SIS
it true that oil has been found on this
farm?h
''WeI, there's oil on the pond back
there"
Where does it seem to come from?''
''Well that depends was the hest
tating answer. My boss owes me S4S
for work. If he pays me to-day as he
agreed to the oil comes from under a
clay bank. If he puts me off any long
er it comes from barrel buried in the
mud. That's the way I'm fixed, strang-
er, and if you've got speculation in
your eye you'd better come around and
see me later. ''-WdlI Street NeaCs.

They Kissed Him.

W. II. Gillette, who takes the lee d.
ing role in the play The Secretary"
tells funny story about himself in
which he explains why he knew he
would take in his new part. 1t should
be understood that THE Secretary" is
the story of tutors trials. Il knew
the play would suit me- said Mr.. Gill
lette, in speaking of it, ''for had been
a private tutor myself once and got in
to just such scrape. 1t was in 1876,
right after | graduated from Harvard,
l was employed in Philadelphia to act
as tutor to a gentleman's son in New
York. When [ got there the first per-
sons L met in the house were a couple
of handsome young girls. They had
been expecting a cousin, and at once
mistook me for the gentleman. They
fell upon my neck and gave me the
warmest kind of greeting. Talk
about kissing. [ got kisses red-hot
from the mill. The old story about
COW pulling her hoof out of the mud
was nowhere. They kissed me forty
times if they kissed me once, and then
gave me q chance to explain. When
they discovered that I wasn't their
cousin they collapsed. l told them not
to blush, that kissing wasn't injurious
to my health, and if they were not hurt
| felt ali right. I explained that I had
been shaved that morning, and my
beard couldn't have scraped them. 1t
was funny, but kind of embarrassing to
the girls. [ became tutor to the fami-
ly, however, and myself and the ladies
seldom afterWard spoke. / have often
felt sorry that | wasn't born a coach
man. The incidents in The Secretary
are somewhat like this, only funnier,
and that is why I took such a liking to
the play. Pittsbur9 Gazette.

Household Hints.

Gingerbread may be varied and Won
derfully improved by the addition of
cupful of grated cocoanut.
Headaches almost always weld to
the simultaneous application of hot wa
ter to the feet and the back of the
neck.
Sick rooms where there is diphtheria,
measles, scarlet fever, etc., should be
impregnated with the odor of equal
parts of turpentine and carbolic acid.
Cold boiled turnips make nice gar
nish for roast beef or lamb. Cut them
in thin slices, and Drowned in butter,
pouring hot gravy over them. Place
them on the platter around the meat.
The best way TO free wardrobe in
tested with moths is to burn sulphur
in it. Camphor will prevent their COM
ing. The cheapest and surest method
is to keep furs in drawer, and as you
fold them pepper them well with COM
mon white pepper.
A good way to arrange fruit in a dish
for an ornamental piece is to set glass
tumbler in the centre of the dish around
and over it put a thick layer of moss;
then not nearly so much fruit will be
required, and it can be arranged very
handsomely.

A Wealthy Corporation.

The Union Pacific land department
recently closed sale of 100000 acres
of land in Wyoming to the Swan Land
and Cattle company, a corporation
which is now considered the strongest
and wealthiest in the West. The land
embraces all the railroad land north to
the twenty-mile limit from point near
Niser Station, and west to the Platte
river, near Fort Steele. BY the provis-
ions of the sale the present settlers on
the land can purchase what they now
occupy at a reasonable price" The
railroad company evidently intends to
dispose of all the lands in the territor-
les as rapidly as possible, either in
large or small quantities. There is a
double incentive for this-the certainty
that Congress will compel them to take
out patents for the lands, making them
subject to local and general taxation,
and the necessity of replenishing the
company's treasury. The method of
sale adopted by the company is hene-
fetal alike to seller and bu yer-to the
former in disposing of good and bad
land in bulk, and to the latter in Sc
curing the land at lower prices than
could be had individually.-IToy Times.

The Mounds of the Nfississinni

These ancient marks, to which hiph
authority has assigned an ANTIQUITY of
more than 800 years, are located about
eight miles south of Chillicothe O
When originally surveyed, more than
forty years ago, they inclosed an area
of 200 acres. There were two larre in
closures, connected by an isthm9s of
breastworks, one of them being in the
form of perfect circle, the other a
square, bulged out laterally. There were
smaller works on the interior of these.
and numerous mounds, which are SIM
posed to have been used for yarions
purposes-for the observance of RELIC
ious rites, as sacriicial affairs for the
immOlation of human victims. as SEN
ulchers for the interment of the honored
dead. With but scant exception they
are almost entirely obiterated. The
fierce northern tribes steadily forced
the mOund-builders southwark to the
COrdilleras and Andes, where thew
erected their temples and affairs upon a
grander scale-but left their work in
tact. A new order of civilization. how
ever, ruthlessly plowed over the forti-
t1cations and lesser works, and the
corn-blades now rustic where of old
the copper spear-heads cleaned trench
ant in the sunshine. The mounds are
nearly all that is left. One of the laro-
est of these is more than fifty feet in
length and from seventeen to twenty
feet high. 1t has never been fully eX-
plored. During the past winter Mr..
Wilson, young pedagogue of this
neighborhood, became fired with sci
entitic zeal, and made two missions
into the center of the mound, being re-
Warded by skull or two and a few
copper ornaments. Prof F. w. Put
nam, Curator of the Peabody Museum
at Cambridge, Mass, and permanent
secretary of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, pro-
poses to complete the work of these
pioneers. He is evidently provided
with the sinews of war for the accom-
pIishment of a work which might have
been made one of the labors of Hercu-
les, and, beyond that, possesses q zeal
and enthusiasm which is, perhaps, of
greater value than the more practical
aids. Many skeletons have been DUO
out of the field and from the immediate
neighborhood of the mound. There
was one peculiarly about the interment
of each of these. A piece of finely WOW
en- cloth, which had somehow or other
resisted the rayages of time, was placed
under the head OF each of the departed
ones. If there had been any other at
tachments to the funeral toilet they
had long since been dissolved into the
surrounding elements. But time could
not wither, nor custom stale, the
strands of this wonderful tapestry,
which was probably nearly in as good
a shape as when centuries since it pill
lowed the head of the corpse that, with
strange and solemn ceremonies, was
not quietly-inurned.

Now, to my mind the dress, not of
the time of William the COnqueror, or
of the seventeenth century, but of just
100 years ago, was the most suitable
and most manly that was ever worn by
the male population of these islands.
By reverting to it, we should get rid of
two incOnvenient and ugly portions of
our present attire-namely; the cylin-
drical hat and the almost equally
cylindrical trouser. The man of to-
day is too cylindrical altogether to be
a satisfactory object to himself or to
artists. That hat (to say nothing of
its shape) should be made of delicate
material, which requires to be care
fully protected from the weather and
ironed and brushed if rained upon, IS
clearly ridiculous; that q mans legs,
in this moist and muddy climate,
should be clothed in tubes of cloth
which reach to his heels and form adj
mirable conductors of mud and dirt,
both inside and outside, is equally so.
By simply going back to the cOnical
felt (not beaver hat and the breeches
and boots of our great-grandfathers, we
should free ourselves at once of this in
convenience. And their capped frock-
coat for riding and walking-why not
that too? 1t saved the shoulders from
wet, and was warm and sensible gar
ment in every way.-P0W Mall Gazette.

The Brahman's Terrible Mistake.

Some shocking tragedies have oc-
cured in the Sibsagor district of India.
A travelling honarie jeweler arrived
late one evening at the house of a
Brahman with whom he had a slight
acquaintance, and displayed his wares.
The Brahman, after making some pur-
chase, offered to put him up for the
night. The offer was gladly accepted,
and it was arranged that the jeweler
should sleep on the floor in the room
occupied by the Brahman's son, the
Brahman and his son occupying the
other room. While preparing to
turn in the honar1e heard the sharpen
ing of dao, and fragments Of con-
versation being carried on between the
Brahman and his wife. Suspecting
foul play, he induced the son to change
places with him; and, as soon as the
former was asleep, placed a dummy
composed of bundle of clothes on the
bed, crept quietly out, and assembled a
tree at the back of the house. In about
half an hour he heard the daO doing
its work, then Explanations of disap-
pointment at finding no plumber, short
" followed by cry of anguish at the
discovery of the mistake the murderer
had made. From his place of conceal
ment the jeweler then saw the Brah-
man come under the tree with a hoe.
Here he dug a grave in which he bur-
led the body of his son. At early dawn
the jeweler descended from his hiding
place and gave information at the
nearest thanna. The police found the
body under the tree, and arrested the
Brahman, whose trial comes off at the
next aSsiZaS
