d Tattooed Relic.

The daughter of distinguished naval officer is one of the leaders of the healthy craze. Her plump, well-rounded figure and swinging gait can be seen on Pennsylvania avenue nearly every after noon, rain or shine, and she has the rud- diest cheeks in Washington.
 She looks the perfect picture of health, but some of her sharp sisters have been tracking up the secret of how her pale complexion disappeared so suddenly.
 It appears, so they say, that the young lady called in tn, services of an old sailor who had known her ever since she was "wee bit of thing" and told him that she was miserable because she never could have any color in her face. She asked him to tattoo her cheeks a delicate shade of red, and although the operation was quite painful, she stood it bravely, and the consequence is that she will have a red face even after death.
 It is said that several society belles contemplate undergoing the same course of treatment.-(B Boston Traveller.

"Good Bcefard Plenty ofIt."

The extreme importance of sufficiently nutritious feeding in youth is well illustrated by story that James NJ. Nixon tells.
 In 1883 Aaron Turner's circus was per forming on route through Pennsylvania, and at Pottsville Napoleon Turner, the old man Turner's son, took fancy to a wretched, starveling-looking boy, be- tween six and seven years old, who was incoming about in the neighborhood of the show.
 The little fellow seemed to be a nice, intelligent sort of boy for his age, but miserably thin and weak. His legs bowed out from simple inability to bear his body's weight. All his limbs were thin and shapelcss as spiders, except for their clumsy joints. His cheeks were sunken, and his breast seemed to have caved in.
 Nap. found the father of .theIad and managed to get the boy apprenticed to him. The circuS-n'an were amazed at sight of Nap 5 protege, and free to prophecy that he would never amount to anyth' g.
 "Never mind" replied Nap; "even if he doesn't, I'll save him from starving to death, anyway"
 They found that young Whitcomb Ghe boys real name) could not eat meat. He had never eaten any. The smell of it made him sick.
 The first article of faith in a circus mans creed is that one must eat beef to be strong, and as it was matter of settled determination in Nap. Turner's mind that young Whitcomb should be strong, and as Nap. was the biggest, young Whitcomb had to eat beef.
 He commenced lightly on it, little at a time, and gradually of his own choice increased the ration. He was not put to work at anything, but just allowed to loaf around the tent when the other boys were practising, and try to initiate them when he chose to do so.
 Very rapidly he picked up flesh, and verified the soundness of the circus confi- dence in beef by growing strong.
 In few seasons he grew to be TO- bust, straight, handsome fellow, good at leaping, tumbling, slack-rope walking. and eventually, under the name of Henry Turner, became famous as one of the best four-horse riders in the country ' thanks to good beef and plenty of it. as Nap. Turner used to say.

AwOucerra.. .Tsa,A.ng st.c:..

Robert Yale, of Norwich, N. T., has a historical cane, which probably IS the oldest walking stic. ever built in this or any other country.
 It contains 2,000 pieces of wood, and each inlaid piece is given an artistic and symbolic form, so that the cane by its various colored woods Is given a most artistic look, although no color Is used upon it. He planned and constructed it, and the cane represents five months labor.
 Sixty of the 2,000 pieces of wood are relics of great value to the relic hunter, and comprise a piece of wood from the oldest tenantable house in America, the Fairbanks residence built in 1920, and now occupied by the seventh generation.
 The head of the cane is from the tree at Crown Point to which General Putnam was tied after being condemned to death by burning by the Indians.
 Set in the cane is a wreath of hair from the head of Rebecca Bates, one of the be- roines whose strategy drove the British to their shipping after landing to attack Scituate, Mass.
 There is piece of wood from the Char ter Oak; another from the House of Han cock, the first signer of the Declaration of Independence; another from the house where witchcraft originated in Salem, and another from the building where the victims of that craze were tried.
 Set in the cane is small piece of Ply mouth Rock, and also a piece of wood from the Mayfower; also woods from five different forts on Lake Champlain, from Hawthornes residence at Salem, from the church where Roger Williams preached, and from the tree beneath which Jonathan Edwards preached to the Indians at tockbridge, Conn.,; also a piece from the curbing of the we'll com .aemorated by Woodwork in his poem, "The Old Oaken Bucket"
 The only foreign relic in the collection Is a piece of wood from the TaSso oak.
 The cane is a unique and attractive piece of work. and is valued at 5000 by its owner.-[Norwieh Bulletin.

A Pen Picture ofthe Great Rural Pastime

A Pen Picture of the Great Rural Pastime.
 On Wednesday, by invitation, we at tended a big corn-shucking at J. B.. Affords.
 When we arrived at MT. Affords we found about fifty or sixty of the neigh bors and their "hands" surrounding immense piles of corn. and the shucks and ears were flying in every direction. We took a turn at the pile, and our hands and wrists arc sore yet from the unusual exercise.
 Gathered around the pile were farm CTS, negroes. a justice of the peace. a lawyer, a merchant, an editor and a physician. MT. Afford made about l5,000 bushels of corn, besides a full crop of cotton, etc. Very few farmers are as successful as he. His farm is self-sus- taining, and he always has corn to sell. Mrs. Afford and her accomplished daughters had grand feast provided for the shuckers at noon, and while the tables didn't groan under the weight of edibles, as the stereotype writers would say, it was a fact that they were crowded with everything in the way of good vic tualS to be had, cooked in the best style, and our generous host and hostess did everything in their power to make every body eat hearty and enjoy themselves, in which laudable undertaking they succeeded.
 There was old ham, the sort that makes red gravy, and fresh pork and turnips and cabbage and potatoes and chickens and chick pie and oysters and sardines and cheese and pies and pound cake and pickles and preserves, world without end.
 When we left at P. NJ. constant acces- sions were being made to the shucking brigade; commanded by Major Shelton. and the work went bravely on. It was thought that the corn would all be shucked by 12 at night.
 MT. Affords family is remarkable. He has eight children, we believe, and not a single member of the family nave ever used tobacco in any form, and they are all healthy and fine-looking, from the father and mother down to the youngest child.-[ Hartwell (Ga.) Sun.

Had Never seen His Wife and Children

Had Never seen Ills WIG ana Cnll0rens
 Several years ago a resident of one of the suburbs had the misfortune to become totally blind. a cataract forming over his eyes. While in this condition his wife died.
 A young German girl whom the un- fortunate man had never seen was very attentive to the wife in her last illness. and after her death did what she could to make the grief-stricken husband and his two little children as comfortable as possible.
 Such devotion did not go unrewarded. The blind man proposed and was ac- .epted. He married the faithful girl.
 Two children were the result of this union. During his years of blindness the sightleSs never lost hopes that some day he might again look upon the beauties of nature and the loved ones lround him.
 < physician was finally consulted, who agreed to attempt the removal of the cataract. The operation was successful, and he from whom the light had been shut out so many years saw again. He was almost beside himself with joy.
 A friend who was at once recognized, came in leading a lady by the hand
 Do you know who this is?" he said to the happy fellow.
 No, do not"
 This is your wife" and then the pair, one of whom had never seen the other, fell into each others arms, and a domestic scene Of pathetic beauty en- sued.
 The two little children were also brought in to their father. He clasped them to his beating heart, and all the miseries of he past were forgotten in the pleasure 2f that moment.-[ Cincinnati Sun.

NEW YoRKs FOOD SUPPLY.
Startling Figures Showing What a Good

Startling Figures Showing What a Good
 Appetite The Metropolis Has.
 New Workers eat, at a low estimate, about 21 900, GOO pounds of beef, mutton and veal in a week, say 3,000, 900 pounds every day in the year. They eat more in the Fall and Winter of beef, veal and mutton than in the Spring and Summer. but, and particularly in holiday times. poultry fills up the hooks, cracks and crevices and there is not so much room for the more solid foods.
 About one-third of the beef that New Workers get outside of every day is dressed beef, dressed in Chicago, shipped in refrigerator cars and packed in New York in big. iced storehouses.
 The other two-thirdS comprise un- dressed beeveS, extra steers, prime steers, good steers, fair steers. medium steers, Colorado steers, Texas steers, all with nothing but their hides and hair on. Every day 2,000 or 5000 of the beeves, each weighing 700 pounds when it gets dressed, are devoured as porterhouse. sirloin and steak and roast beef.
 Calves weigh, on the average when they are hung up on the butchers hooks. 100 pounds. The calves that weigh much less than that are young; they are "bob veal" and the New York Board of Health seizes on to them when it's inspectors see them for sale. When the inspectors do not see them, the bob veal is served in swell restaurants, white and tender at double prices.
 Sheep and lambs each weigh about 45 pounds. A million pounds of calves and sheep and lambs are slowed away every day in New York where they will do the most good.
 Hogs from 16o pounds to 100 pounds are "hogs;" hogs from 100 pounds to 50 arc pigs" technically. Fifty thous- sand of hogs and pigs are daily sacri feed to the Moloch of Manhattan Island appetite. Tons of pork chops, thous- ands of pounds of honey-combed tripe, miles of sausages and square furlongs of crackle are put below.
 Some peoples bread is buttered, then others spread it on thick. Together they use 100000 and odd pounds of butter every day, real butter, not oleomargarine. It is calculated that the force expended by pretty dairy maids on churning that much butter would raise the Post Office ,000 feet into the air and hold it there for three hours.
 One hundred million pounds of cheese arrived in New York in 1881. and most of it was consumed there. The number of Welsh rarebits in that much cheese is almost incalculable; rough estimate Is 290,067, 900.
 In one week, about Christmas time, the people of New York have eaten 19,634 packages of dressed poultry, run ming up into millions of pounds. One hundred and thirty-eight thousand nine hundred and sixty-five barrels of cran- berries made into sauce were swallowed with the poultry. In that same week there were used in Gotham 48, ,349 barrels of apples, 13S,965 barrels of potatoes, 2,791 barrels of onions, 1884 barrels of beans, 1875 barrels of peas, 13,000 cases of canned meats, 3,635 packages of dried fruits, 8,471 packages of evapor- orated goods and 4.994 bags of peanuts.
