Visiting the President.

The President has grown stout and it is
with difficulty that he buttons his Prince
Albert coat. He is scrupulously neat in
his appearance Several members tell
funny stories about their reception by him
and the way he treated them, but any one
who is daily around the White House
understands one or two things by the way
he moves his arms and hands Generally
the President stands with his arms behind
him. When he is pleased or contented to
listen he holds his hands about six inches
apart, with the back part of the hand
against his coat. The fingers generally are
quiet; but if they begin to work or con-
tract he is growing tired. Then he will
shift from one foot to the other. If the
man bores him the arms gradually come
forward. The move is gradual, but if the
infliction continues the hands fall 10 the
side-thumbs in. If. still the visitor per-
sists in staying, the arms 90 cut ard the
thumbs beat against his side. s9rher is
the time for disappearing" The game is
up when Cleveland begins to beat time
with his hands On his side. It is well to
remember this and when one sees the
hands moving from the back cut the inter-
view short and depart. The President has
worn two quite smooth places OH each side
of his coat, simply BY beating time against
them with his hands, Washington letter.

Deception Punished.

A. young man goes twice a week to see
a young lady residing a few miles in the
country making his journeys OH foot.
One night he remained with his girl 11n-
till midnight, and found it dark and snow
ing when he went to the door. He dis
liked to go home in the darkness and
limited the fact to his girl; but as she did
not invite him to remain over night, he
resorted to deception to accomplish his
design, and is now sorry for it. He let him
self fall gently upon the steps, and at once
set mp u groan. The girl shrieked the
men folks came out, picked him up, and
put him TO bed. His prospective mother-in-
law inquired the location of his injuries,
and when he said III the small cf his back
she left the room burriedly. He had just
begun to congratulate himself upon the
success Of his ruse as he listened 20 the
storm beating against the window, when
his intended mamna-in-law returned to
the room bearing a huge mustard plaster,
which she clapped over the region of his
kidneys and sat down to await the result.
For two hours he writhed in pain, and by
that time blister of sufficient size to sat
isfy the old lady appeared, and he was
left alone to repent his folly.

THE wlsDox OF THE BEAVER.
1t IL Shown In Conflict with Hun.
cry Livcr.Gray Wolf.

While hunting in the Wind River
Mountain the Chicago Tribune correspon-
dent witnessed an encounter between a
silver-gray wolf and beaver. On the
log that formed the basis of the beaver
dam there crouched an immense silver
gray wolf. He was intently watching the
surface of the water. Soon there came
a long ripple from one of the banks,
steadily approaching the log. A beaver
was on his way to the top Of the dam.
Instantly the wolf crouched still lower,
while his eyes never moved from the rip
pie. He wanted beaver meat for breakfast.
The water broke close to the edge of the
log, and the broad head of the beaver ap-
peared. There was q savage spring, q
loud plash, and both the wolf and beaver
disappeared beneath the water.
In a few seconds the wolf emerged alone,
cla1nbered back on the log. and disconso-
lately paved several bunches of fur from
beneath his glistening fangs. The beaver
had escaped. But the wolf was not dis
couraged. In moment or two he moved
further along the log and took up another
position of observation. The point he now
occupied was at the junction OF a huge
limb with the parent stem. This limb
made a semi-circular sweep of twenty-five
or thirty feet, its extreme end resting on
the bank. The water space thus enclosed
was not as deep as the rest of the pond,
and near the shore was quite shallow All
at once the wolf pricked up his ears, and
there could be seen the ripple that an
nounced the presence of beaver. Soon
black object appeared above the water
near the shore 1t was the nose of q
beaver. Slowly the wolf crept along the
limb. His movements were noiseless.
The water was so shallow that the
beaver, once in his enery's clutches, could
not possibly escape. The spring was
made and the beaver was caught. But
what was this? From every side arose
black forms and white teeth, end the
wolf was the centre Of a savage aml)us-
cade. He fought desperately, but from
the first his case was hopeless. The
beavers swar1ned to the attack until fully
fifty were there. The 1narauder was
literally torn in pieces and the water
covered with fragments Of hair and hide

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

The telephone which I am about te
describe has been source of great pleas.
ure to me. and as / think it too good to
keep will give my readers the plans fol
its construction:
The materials you will require are two
pine boards ten by thirteen inches and
half an inch thick, two fresh beef bladders,
one box of four ounce tacks two large
guttarpercha buttons, sonle strips of thin
leather one-quarter Of an inch wide, and
lastly. some flexible wire The best wire
for the purpose is that used in book-bind-
ing machines, but if that cannot be OBJ
tanned any soft flexible wire will do.
Prepare the bladders first by blowing
them up tightly and leaving them so TO,
day or two until they are thoroughly
stretched, but do not let them become
dry and hard. While the bladders are
stretching you can obtain the other ma
terials. 10 begin take one of the boards
and, having brought it to the required
dimensions, draw circle in its centre
eight inches in diameter. which saw out,
taking care to keep on the line, for if the
opening is not round and even the instru-
ment will not work satisfactorily.
Next take one of the bladders and after
cutting the neck off, cut away about one
third of 1t from end to end, then soak it in
warm water but not too hot, until it be-
comes white and soft; after which stretch
it loosely but evenly over the opening,
letting the inside of the bladder be on top,
and tack temporarily all around one inch
from the edge of the opening.
Now test it by pushing the centre with
your finger. If it stretches smoothly and
without wrinkles it will do, but if it does
not you must change its position until it
does SO. Next take strip Of the leather
and tack completely around the edge of
the opening. putting the tacks together
and taking care to keep the bladder
stretched evenly while doing So When
you have tackled it properly take your
knife and cut away that part Of the blad-
der on the outside strip.
This done, break off three feet of the
wire and, after attaching it to one of the
buttons, pass the free end through The
centre Of the bladder until the button
rests ON it's surface. Then fasten a
weight Of eight pounds to the end of the
wire and set in the sun two hours on more
until thoroughly dry. .....
Proceed with the other materials in q
like manner and when you have both
drums well dried place one at each end of
the line and connect the button wires with
the main wire by loops and stretch it as
tightly as possible. The course Of the
main wire should be as straight as possi-
BILE and with few sharp angles
Wherever support is needed make q
loop.
To call up, strike the BUTTON with lead
pencil, and the one called will respond in
like manner.
This is no toy, but a good, serviceable
telephone, aud will work from five yards
to five miles.

Miss EsranklIn,s Prose nee of Mind.

Miss Belle Franklin, q Young schoolmis-
tress OF McHenry county, Dakota. is the
heroine of the Missouri slope. Miss Frank
lin was sleeping i'll a shack which she had
built upon her claim, when she was
awakened by the cracking noise of the
prairie fire. Looking out across the plain,
She saw the dancing flames shinming
across the prairie The brave girl knew
that her neighbors living a half mile dis
tant were away from home and the fire
would soon envelop the house. barn, hay,
and grain. Jumping from her bed, she
hurried away to the low log barn III which
the farmers extra team was tied Har-
Messing the animals, she rushed them out
to the plough, and before the fire had
reached the premises she had turned
several furrows and formed fire break
which saved the property.

FIVE POINTS, OR THE RICE GAME,

Put together as many sheets OF note
paper as there are persons who are to
clay. Scatter on the upper one, at ran
,;oln, five kernels of rice. Prick with
pin. without disturbing the rice, Eve holes
through the spots where the rice has
fallen. You will thus have a number of
:leets OF paper, each containing fye pin
holes arranged in the same ORDER. The
game consists in each person drawing a
iigure which shall come within the points,
using one for the head, two for the feet,
and two for the hands. The illustration
gives some examples drawn OH a small
scale showing the variety Of figures which
can be made. The figures will be larger
as the kernels of rice will fall at greater
distances.

THE HUMAN RACE.

Some one recently made public the
remark that if the whole human race was
divided into families of five persons each,
the State of Texas is large enough to sup
ply half an acre of land to each family.
The statement SURPRISED some people, and
not few OF them declared hastily, with
out performing the necessary calculations,
that it could not be true.
But it is true. There are supposed to
be about fourteen hundred million
persons living ON the globe. A half acre
to each family of five would require
one acre for ten persons or one hundred
and forty million acres in all. The area
of Texas is more than two hundred and
sixty-two thousand square miles, or near
ly one hundred and eigtty-eight million
acres. Consequently there would be a
surplus of almost twent-eight millions left
over after every family was provided for,
which would be sufficient for four or five
times the present population of the United
States.
Not many people realize how little space
would be needed to accommodate the
whole human race. assembled in cne places
Suppose we were to fancy every human
being forming one of a vast congregation,
seated in fourteen hundred million easy
chairs, each occupying a square yard of
ground space.
AS there are nearly three million one
hundred thousand square yards in a
square mile that number represents the
size of the congregation that could be
seated upon it under the conditions
named, and the whole human family
could be gathered on a tract of four h1ln-
dred and tifty-two square miles - or
twenty-one and quarter miles each way.
Less than two-ffths Of the area Of the
little State of Rhode Island would suffice
to give comfortable seating room to the
whole human race. One-twelfth OF the
area of Rhode Island would be enough to
afford standing room-as people stand in
q crowd, without crushing-to every man,
woman and child on the face of the
earth.-( From Youths Companion.

Whether the animal is true

cross-bred is a question for the natura-

inches and its age probably 8 or 4
years. The whole of its body and
