A Story About Commodore anderbilt.
From, Crofues Ne,o Book.


Commodore Nanderbilt's conversation was
freely peppered with the rhetorical condi-
ments for which he had acquired taste in
his sailor days, and he never could reform
this habit; probably until he was a very old
man he never tried. Tue Rev. DR.. Deems is
the authority for the following account OF one
OF the Commodore's after-dlnner speeches:
Il had just finished the Caroline. my first
steamboat" he began, as he carved the ef,
and was mighty proud of her, tell you,

Georgia, do not publish some statements

Skin OF a Huge African Lion.

The tanned skin of huge African hon,
said to be the largest animal of its kind
ever killed by a white man, has just been
made into rug for gentleman in New
York city. The owner was one Of a
hunting party that captured the animal
last August on mountain precipice near
the Sand river, east Africa, about 1S0
miles back from the coast line at Della
goa bay. The lion killed native Zam-
ala, who was trying to beat him out Of
the bush SO that the hunter could get a
shot at him, and the owner Of skin
brought home the skull of the poor fol-
low as another souvenir of the exciting
chase. From the nostrils to the tip of
the tail the skin measured ten feet three
inches. 1t is beautifully oolored, and all
the claws and teeth are preserved per-
fectly. Two of the teeth are four inches
long. The head measured two feet eight
inches across the forehead, with all the
muscles strongly brought out.
There is big hole in the skin that
pierced the animals heart. The owner
of the skin left Africa with it before the
hot season came on. 1t was packed in
lime to preserve it until the traveller
reached London, and was covered with
arsenic soap for further transportation
to this city. The lion skin has been sur
rounded with twenty-One bear skins, the
whole forming a rug twenty-one feet
long and thirteen feet wide. enough to
carpet a large room. The skin has been
the object of good deal of interest and
curiosity to men in the trade.-New Or

Mid-ocean Harbors Of Refurs.

The loss of the Oregon has alarmed the
thousands of rich people who yearly
cross the Atlantic, for the fact has come
to light thar none of the large ocean
steamers carry boats enough to save
more than ope-third of the passengers.
There were nearly 900 persons ON board
the Oregon, but only boats enough for
$50; and yet that Inflated vessel was bet
ter furnished than the great majority of
ocean carriers. 1t seems our, American
maritime laws provide for floats and
yafts in addition to the boats; but as we
have no sea-going steamers, except along
the coast, the travelling public does not
benefit by the forethought of our law
givers.
An English inventor suggests that
number of hollow steel floats, each
eighty feet square, might be anchored in
mid=Ooean, bearing sixty foot light
towers, These might be only few hun
dred miles apart, and would serve as
harbors of refuge in the event of a
shipwreok, as well as places for the
transmission of shipping news by teIe-
graph and for weather stations. The
cable companies could afford to pay the
expense Of running them by the saving
that would be effected in the use of re-
lay instruments. OF course, this would
necessitate the ships keeping on ono
route going and coming, Undoubtedly
something of this kind viii be done in
the course of time. Indeed, these artifi-
cial islands might be used as sanitariums,
as there are certain forms of sickness
which are benefited by the salt ocean
breezes. es.-Demorest' Monthly,

NITRo-eLYoERiNE IN MEDICINE.

~Do you handle dynamite?" asked th'

Der of ems set IN the United States. A

cases. The average composition per
newspaper is "A, LAT ems for dailies, and

Of type set for one issue of the daily
newspapers of the country would make
2,765 duodecimo volumes, and all the
papers in year would represent as much
type-work as would make 10, 600 volumes
equal to 'Appleton's Cyclopsedia.' A

Atlantic to the Pacific. Eight thousand

might be carried to greater length with
advantage, though emitting the figures.
If only honest opinions were expressed
in all those newspapers men would not
be abused merely because they have

of some would fall off, and that of others
would gain; and some men and some

How Bagsy Trousers Became Fashionable
Baggy trousers, have come suddenly
into fashion with the fellows who ape
the English, and.it is all mistake. The
duke of Sutherland sailed into port a
month ago aboard his yacht, in which
he is cruising around the world, and his
advent stirred Fifth avenue profoundly.
He was idolized during his three weeks
stay in the city, and in whatever respects
his manners differed from those pre-
viously accepted as the best in London,
in these particulars the Anglomaniacs
amended their own. He was accepted
as undoubted authority. One day he
went to the tailor most patronized by
this clique and ordered two suits of
clothes. He stipulated that the trousers
should be very loose, and they, were made
so. The tailor hastily informed his Gus
toners of the dimensions, and they fol
lowed the example with all speed. In
week the legs of a hundred dandies were
lost in flabby pantaloons. Then some
suits direct from London arrived, and
the trousers were only medium size. The
truth transpired that the duke meant his
two pairs for wear aboard his yacht
simply for comfort and not for style.
But the fashion had been set, and baggy
though blunderingly donned,
are not to be taken off.-"Uncle Bills"

upon the community, while all the time
it is dying out, because it made no prose-
lytes and would not countenance family
lie. Visitors TO tine community tell
touching stories of the hunger for child
ren which these old men and women
still feel. The babes and little ones who
come to Harmony, as their village is
called, are passionately caressed and
wept over BY these celibate communists.
In passing it is worthy of note that the
Shakers are dying out in numbers They
make few or no proselytes, and the only
recruits they get are children they adopt
from the alms-houses. A history of
American socialistic experiments, sucl
as the Shakers, the Economics, and the
Oneida communists, would be very inter
esting reading. Monthly.

Time laid his hand on the budding leaf;
1t turned to crimson, then brown and
gold
He touched the grain; twas a garnered
sheaf,
A laden bin-and the year was old
You walked in the sun when tire was
young;
I grew in the shade and was ever old;
Ny life at last to daylight sprung,
And yours-crept under the graveyard
mould.
Two ways, two lives, two leaves Of years;
A sudden cloud and glare of sun,
Written in passion-erased in tearsl
Is the chapter ended or but begunp
