Extravaganza In Dinners.

Not every one is aware of the extent
to which extravaganza is carried in New
York, says local letter from that city.
At dinner given not long ago by Mr..
P, banker, residing on Madison
Square, what served as "dinner cardsn
for the ladies cost 1900. They con-
sisted of the best quality of wide rib
bons, each different in color, and each
long enough for sash. The ends were
exqu1sitely painted and edged with an
deliberately made fringe One end of
each was drawn over ring which was
fastened below the chandelier, and car
ried to the lady's place for whom it was
designed. These formed a tent over
the table, which was very elegant in
effect. Each lady, as she seated her
self, drew her sash from the ring above,
appropriating it as she pleased At an
other dinner, at Delmonico's, the table
was entirely covered with flowers, ex-
cept the center, in which was pond,
on which were two white swans, sailing
back and forth at their own sweet will,
eating the bread crumbs, thrown by the
guests, while they were either too well
trained or too frightened to splash the
water. At another ''simple meal"
given On Fifth avenue, to company of
eleven, the large square dinner cards,
painted for the occasion, cost 500

The Shoe Traffic.

The dry goods dealers, especially those
in New York city, are experts in the
arts of attracting customers. They
throw out lures in the shape of placards.
One dealer offers "rubbers at 10 cents, :"
another ga child's shoe at 40 cents"
probably it cost more than that, but it
served useful purpose in encouraging
the buying of other things. The Shoe
& Leather Reporter says that a dry
goods house purchased a certain grade
of shoes at 81 so pair, and sold them
at 81 40. 1t was an effective advertise
ment, but the proprietors took pains to
limit the sale of them as much as they
could; they gave gratuity of five
cents to the clerk who succeeded in
persuading a shopper to take something
instead that paid profit. In these
same stores, shoes which the manufac-
turer sell at 81 so to So, and the retail
dealers for So so, are offered at 50 50,
50 10 and So "a, and marked, Gre
duced from So" Better value for the
money on an average Is obtainable at a
retail shoe store than anywhere else.

Killed While ON Duty.

Well, it is only short story, but for
one family at least it has a sad ending.
Chief Mahedy of the New York fire
Department in light wagon, was max
ing his way through the crowded streets
to burning building. The fire engine
came along at dashing, crashing speed.
The two drivers tried to steer clear OF
each other, but it was too late. A. col
lision, man thrown from his seat to
the hard pavement and under the wheels
of the engine. That was all, but it
was the beginning of a tragedy.
How tenderly his brother firemen
picked him up! adds the Herald, speak
ING of the sad affair. Brave men know
how to treat a fallen comrade. Then
the ambulance was called, and after
that the surgeon at the hospital had
hardly time to say ''He cannot live" be
fore the Chief quietly breathed his last
One of the craft said, and there was
migt in his eyes as he spoke, "It'

go some time, but it's very hard to see {

off SO suddenly, in such way. Every

Three More than Four.

In many of the Southern States the
negro farm hands work on what Is
known as the share system. The land
owner furnishes the land, mules and
farm implements and advances the sup
plies. At the end of the crop season
the laborer usually gets one-third of the
product, corn, cotton, etc. A farmer in
Sunhower county, Miss, in re-contract-
ing the first of the present year with his
laborers for the year 1886, found several

with him for one-third of what they
produced.

quired the farmer.
"We wants fort; OATS what Mister
Mltchelrs gwine to glib hes hans dis
yearh."
The farmer laughed and, calling to
his wife, asked her TO bring out couple
of apple pies she had just baked, and
when the pies were produced he cut one
of them into three equal parts, and the
other into four, and invited the darkies
to help themselves, each to a piece. 1t
is needless to say that the pie that had
been cut into three pieces was the first
one attacked.
'Now," said the farmer, pointing to
the thirds, ''that Is what 1 propose to
give you, and that" pointing to the
fourths, 'tis what you say Mr.. Mitchell
is going to give you; which had you
rather have2"
The darkies opened their eyes and
stared at one another, when the spokes-
man exclaimed:
"Well! dat pie business do prove dat
free is bigger N a TO-. Whar dat

The contract was produced and the
last one of them signed it.-M. QUAD.

Power of an Ocean Wave.

In paper by the Rev. Philip Neale,
late British Chaplain in Batavia, in
Leisure Hour, speaking of the great in
undation from the sea caused by the
Krakatoa earthquake, Java, he says:
zone of the most remarkable facts con-
corning the inundation remains to be
told. AS we walked or scrambled
along, we were much surprised to find
great masses of white coral lying at the
side of our path in every direction.
Some of these were of immense size.
and had been cast up more than two or
three miles from the sea shore. 1t was
evident, as they were OF coral forma-
ton, that these immense blocks of solid
rock had been torn up from their ocean
bed in the midst of the Sunda Straits,
borne inland by the gigantic wave, and
finally left on the land several miles
from the shore. Any one who had not
seen the sight would scarcely credit the
story. The feat seems almost an i'm
possible one. How these great masses
could have been carried so far into the
interior is a mystery, and bears out
what have said in previous papers as
to the height of this terrible wave.
Many of these rocks are from twenty to
thirty tons in weight, and some of the
larger must have been nearly double"

The Basket Makers.

During the winter just ended the
people of various towns along the Hud-
son River, as well as number living
further away, have interested them
selves in the condition of the basket
makers of the Haverstraw Mountains,
and substantial assistance has come in
from many quarters, relieving the wants
of the needy and doubtless preventing
serious illness and perhaps starvation in
some instances. A better plan, how
ever, for affording relief and guarding
against repetition of the suffering in
the future is proposed and probably will
be carried out. A firm doing business
in the cities of New York and Brook yn
is consulting with the Rev. Ebenezor
Gay, of the House of the Good Shep-
herd, Tomkins Cove, with reference to
starting practical industry among the
poor basket makers which shall give
constant employment to all and afford
them a practical means of supporting
themselves. The people known as the
basket makers in great measure ap-
pear to be almost distinct race, and
have no utilization with their fellow
men. From all accounts they do not
rank very high in the human scale and
it is hoped that the efforts in their be-
half will be productive of great good.

A CHAPTER ON SHARKS.
The Various Species and How they Make
Their Living.

The sharks shows development of
brain higher than in any other fish and
its approach in some species to that of
man, says Prof. Bickmore. There are
several hundred species of them, those
better known living in the open sea.
They will follow wreck, steamer or
a sailing vessel for thousands of miles,
often lingering about it for months to
secure anything to eat that may be
thrown overheard by the cook, or on
hand to welcome an unfortunate sailor,
if he chances to slip into the sea. Some
of the sharks as shown by the fossil
teeth, must have been in the early ages
as large as the whales. | have seen one
thirty-four feet in length that was cap
tured on the New England coast few
years ago, and it is reported that in the
southern seas they are still to be found
sixty feet in length.
Illustrations on the screen were given
by Mr.. Bickmore, showing many of the
varied forms of the shark. The mack
erel which feeds largely on mackerel
has double row of teeth one row of
which points inward and assists in re-
tanning its prey that has once been
broken, but peculiar feature of them
is that when thus deprived of tooth
new one grows out in the vacant place.
In the man eating shark the teeth are
separated. This shark grows to great
size but is comparatively rare. Its skin
is extremely rough and in former years
was often used for the purposes of sand
paper by mechanics. One kind of
shark has row of pointed teeth and
series of fiat honey plates like paving
stones on which they can grind up into
a paste as in a mill, all sorts of shell or
bone fishes, before swallowing them.
Attending the several species of the
shark, said Mr.. Bickmore, may be al
ways found two smaller fish. One of
these is called the pilot fish by sailors
from their belief that he directs the
shark to his food. The pilot fish is
about fifteen inches long and generally
swims few feet below the shark and
when it sees piece of food first swims
forward to inspect it and then returns to
the shark as if to report. Another
smaller fish called the sucker fish at
taches itself to portion of the under
portion of the shark and is towed by it,
what its use may be is not known.
Some species of sharks hunt in packs
like hounds and their nasal organs are
peculiarly formed to extract from the
water any faint by which they can fol-
low up the scent of their prey. The
thresher shark lashes the water with a
tail as long as its body frightening the
fish and driving them into mass. 1t
then rushes into the school and secures
what 1t wants. The sharks lay but few
eggs.

other cold victuals that were mighty
tempting. Meade, HUMPHREYS, Han
cock, and six or eight other officers at
tackled the lunch, and had just about
finished when the enemy opened the
fight with three guns. Gentlemen,

claimed Gen. Meade. We started fol-

Three Innocent Men Hanged.

A dispatch from Ashland, Ken, says
the horrible murder on Christmas Eve,
1881, when three children were muir
dercd here, which resulted in a lynch
ing, is recalled again by developments
about to be made which will demon
strate that Neal, Craft and Ellis, who
were lynched, were innocent of the
crime for which they suffered. For
some time several gentlemen have been
employing detectives to sift every
theory and investigate every clue. Their
work has been crowned with the great
est success, and it is asserted that the
arrest of the real criminals will sc on fol-
low.
The evidence against them is said to
be conclusive, and will show that the
triple murder was committed early in
the evening; that the perpetrators went
to the house by appointment with one
of the girls, who had previously been
on intimate terms with one of them,
and that the triple murder followed an
unintentional killing of the boy for re
sisting assaults on the girls. The ar
rests would have been made before but
for the excited state of the public feel
ING here on the subject. The suspected
parties mold very respectable places.

A Story from Burmah.

In one of the stories the King is
marching at the head of his army, and
encamps at night near a cucumber gar
den. He gives strict orders that no one
shall enter the gate, and death is to be
the penalty of the man who disobeys
his lnjunctions. After dark he goes
out in disguise to see that his com
mands are carried out, and is caught bv
the owner as soon as he enters the gate.
lie declares tLat he is the King. 'That
is quite impossible" answers the man ;
1.-THE King never would be such fool
as to dIsobey his own ORDERS" and he
knocks him on the head and kills him.
The next morning the dead body is dis
covered, and the generals and the court
are IN great straits; if the King is found
out to be dead, utter confusion will
take place, and the whole army will
melt away. "You must act KING. y
they say to the gardener, and they nut
the klngly crown and robes upon him.
lie behaves with all the dignity and de-
corum of monarch, and particularly
knows how to hold his tongue. The
battle Is fought and won, but afterward
his head is turned; he behaves inso-
lently to everybody, and particularly to
the priests of the great temple. Then
follows long depression into another
story. There is a wind-up, however.
good way further on, showing how,
after the gardeners death, his son
succeeded, but having become quite in
tolerable in his grandeurs and absurdi-
ties, the son of the rightful King was
brought forward and put upon his
fathers throne. - Good Words.
