Had to Kick Somebody.

GIN India" said a gentleman with an
Oriental tan on his face, ''thc customs
with regard to servants are somewhat
peculiar When a man is invited to a
dinner party, or is sitting at the table
in his boarding house, his own bearer,
or body servaut, stands behind his chair
to wait upon him. The exingencics of
the feast often make it necessary for a
bearer to serve somebody other than his
master, but on such occasions the guest
is expected to overlook any shOrtcOm-
ings of which the attendant may be
guilty; for in India the rule, Insult my
servant, and you insult me, is acknowl-
edged everywhere.
''Once at boarding house on the
Chouringee road in Calcutta | saw a
bearer who was serving a stout choleric
Englishman with curry spill little of
the copper colored mixture on his trou-
sers. Furiously turning around, the
angry Briton found that the delinquent
was not his own bearer, hut the en-
ployee of a gentleman sitting at the
other side of the table.
well, SIR" he said to his Wis avis,
81 won't kick your servant, but, by
gosh, sir, I'll kick my ownp and an as
tonished and innocent bearer, who was
twenty feet away when the offense was
committed, was ANONYMOUSLY kicked
out of the ROOM

Willing TO Make n Loan.

A story is told about one of Nash
ville's bankers. The perpctrator of the
joke was once active in financial mat
tiers. He is not as wealthy, however, as
he used to be, and finding himself in
immediate need of some cash the other
day, he walked into his former bankers
office After declining an invitation to
be seated, he said: "YOu remember in
former times my paper was worth par.
| could raise any amount needed by the
simple process of atfXing my name to a
note. You were kind and courteous to
me then. 1t was good morning, Mr..
-. But times have changed. | am
hard up now, but l have a scheme on
foot by which can retrieve my lost
fortune if | can raise the requisite
amount. The investment is safe, there
being no risk whatever. l want you to
let me have $40, 0OO."
The banker looked steadily out of the
window for few minutes, rubbed his
hands, and said he was really sorry, but
1t would be impossible to let the gentle
man have the sum mentioned. The
would be borrower, not the least abash-
ed by the refusal, said: "Wen, | might
make out with s., 900 for the present. "
The banker again declined to advance
the cash, explaining that money matters
were stringent The visitor turned to
go, and, with shrug of the shoulders,
said: "Well, that's the way of the
world. If had come and asked for
the loan of $40 you would have refused. "
"No. you are mistaken. | would
have let you have it. !"
.'Well, lend me that amount, if you
feel like it.
With an 81 am-sold" smile the banker
produced his plethoric purse, tished out
Il $40 bill and handed 1t over.-AdSh-

Simple Dresses for Misses.

Among the simple styles for misses
and young ladies' wool dresses SAYS
HdrperS BGzar, that of the kilt skirt and
apron drapcry remains not only popular,
but also fas hionable, especially for what
are called tailor suits. These skirts are
excellent for mohair, or Cheviot, deane,
camel's hair, beige, cashmere, or cloths
of light, quality, such as form useful spring
suits and summer travelling dresses
The kilt pleats may be three or four in
ches wide, or else only one inch, accord
ing to fancy. The basque is the simplest
position shape, and may have rows of
mohair braid put on the collar and
sleeves, and also Stimulating vest in
cross rows or else lengthwise parallel
rows with single curled row down each
side. The most fashionable tailors use
this simple design for the light cloth
dresses of elegant young women in
society, and similar dresses are made at
home by mothers for their daughters
who are still school girls Hence dress
es made this way last year need not be
altered in the least. Dark navy blue or
brown canvas, mohair, or cashmere dress.
es made in this simple manner may have
a high collar and narrow cuffs of velvet
of the same shade, but to add any more
elaborate trimming or to use intricate
drapeTy detracts from the good style of
such dresses, and makes them what
women of taste call ''fussy-looking, for
want of better word. The great fault
with ordinary dress makers at present is
that of overtrimming; they should take
useful hints from the tailor suits made
in severely plain styles, yet with perfect
grace, every seam being in its proper
place, outlining the figure tastcfulIy,
and thus completing dresses that remain
in good form as long as the fabric lasts,
and do not need to be altered each
season

How to Split Sheet of Paper.

1t is one of the most remarkable prop
critics of that wonderful product, paper,
that it can be split into two or even three
parts, however thin the sheet. We have
seen a leaf of the ILLUSTRATED News"
thus divided in three parts, or three thin
leaves. One consisted of the surface on
which the engravings are printed; an
other was the side containing the letter
press; and perfectly blank piece on
each side was the paper that lay between.
Many people who have not seen this
done might think it is impossible; yet
it is not only possible, but extremely
easy, as we shall show: Get piece of
plete glass, and place on it sheet of
paper; then let the latter be thoroughly
soaked. With care and a little dexter
ity the sheet can be split by the top sur
face being removed. But the best plan
is to paste piece of cloth or strong
paper to each side of the sheet to be
split. When dry, violently and with
out hesitation pull the two pieces
asunder. when part of the sheet vii! be
found to have adhered to one and part
to the other. Soften the paste in water,
and the pieces can easily be removed
from the cloth. The process is gener-
ally demonstrated as matter of curios-
ity, yet it can be utilized in various
ways. If we want to paste in a scrap
book a newspaper article printed on
both sides of the paper, and possess
only one copy, it is very convenient to
know how to dctaCh- the-one- side from
the other. The paper when split, as
may be imagined, is more transparent
than it was before being subjected to
the operation, and the printing ink
somewhat duller; otherwise the two
pieces present the appearance of the
original if again brought together.
Some time ago the information of how
to do this splitting was advertised to be
sold for considerable sum. We now
impart it to all our readers gratuitously.

THE MILK TRAFFIC,
Prices 10 Range Much Lower TO Consumers
this Spring.

At this season of the year the milk
producers of Orange County and the ad-
lacent dairy counties of New York and
New Jersey-the district drained by the
milk trains of the Erie, the Ontario and
Western, and the Susquehanna and
western rallroads-are accustomed to
hegotlate the sale of the product OF
their herds for twe1ve-month to come,
dating from April /. The drift OF
transactions between producers and con-
sumers this spring, says local CORE
spondent, indicates a lower range OF
prices for the coming season, than has
ever before been known in the 40 years
existence of the Orange county milk
trathc. For the city trade few choice
dalrles have been sold at the figures OF =
and and 1-2 cents per quart, for pc
RODS of four months, respectively,
equivalent to "a cents aggregate for the
year. Ordinary to inferior diaries are
begging for market at SO cents and
down TO 80 cents. When it is remem-
bered that in the great milk-spilllng
struggle, or strike, of 1888 the dalrymen
contended for and generally received AZ
cents for their seasons productions and
that the ruling prices were SO cents for
1SS4-5 and SO cents for 1856, the fur
Their shrlnkage to SO cents or less the
coming season will be appreciated as an
event of disastrous moment to the milk
producing districts where such prices
prevail. To the dairymen of Orange
county the shrinkage from 40 to 80
cents means the cutting down of their
receipts for the season by the city milk
trade alone by at least $500, 900, and a
total decrease in receipts, including
sales to condenseE;es and creameries, of
more than $500, 0t~
The continuoUs novement toward
lower prices for uiN3n. so far as the
district covered She above named
railroad lines is concerned, is readily &C
counted for on obvious grounds. 1t is
partly due to the large and growing use
by dairymen of imported stimulating
feeds, which serve to increase enormous
ly the natural production of any given
farm or territory Under old time
methods thesfarmer fed his COWS only
the native and healthful grasses, grains,
and vegetables grown on the farm. Now
he stimulates and increases their flow of
milk by the liberal use of imported
grains, and, if he is over greedy and I'M
scrupulous, he does not hesitate to en-
ploy in the forcing process sour, fer
mented, and unwholsome feeds, such as
the refuse of breweries and distillcries,
and of starch and glucose mills. BY
such means he is enabled to keep 35 or
40 COWS on twcnty-cow farm, and to
draw from each animal a largely aug
mented flow of milk. 1t follows as mat
ter of course that while the profits of his
dairy are increased the purity of his
milk and the health of his cows are i'm
paired. City vendors should understand
that this grade ofnnilk is nearly all sent
forward for their consumption. There
is no market for it at home. The cream.
cries taboo it because it cannot be turned
into good merchantable article of but
ter or cheese.

Off the Log.

Professor Elliott Evans, of Hamilton
College, told this story concerning his
granduncle, Joseph Elliott, and the
chief Red Jacket. The two, having
met at Tonawanda Swamp, sat side by
side on a log which happened to be con-
venIent. Presently Red Jacket said, in
his most unintelligible English, ''Move
along, Jo." Elliott did So and the
sachem moved up to him. II a few
minutes came another request, "Move
along, 10. and again the Agent com
piled, and the chief followed. Scarcely
had this been done when Red Jacket
said. Move along, Jo." Much annoy
ed, but willing to humor him, Elliott
complied, this time reaching the end of
the log. When the request was rebeat-
cd for the fourth time, "Move along,
10, " the Agent angrilY replied, why,
man, can't move any further without
getting off the log into the mul."
"Ughl Just so, white man," said Red
Jacket ''want Indian move along
move along along. Can't go no
further, but he say, Move along"
That red man was philosopher. ~

How Rachel Came to Marry Jacob.

This true story comes from an old sea-
board town in Maine:
Jacob loved Rachel, but Rachel
wouldn't have him. Jacob labored on,
pressing his suit at intervals, and after
each rebuff telling her he was bound to
win her yet, and convince every one
she cared for him as much as he be-
lieved in his heart she did.
Every WELL" cried the indignant
Rachel, with toss of her head, keep
right on till you make folks believe that,
and when you do I'll marry you'll"
Jacob did persevere, but with small
success, and at last began to lose cour-
age. About this time another sutton of
Rachels arrived home from sea, bring
ing with him, among other exotics,
parrot of gorgeous hue which he pre-
sented to Rachel, who forthwith had
the bird suspended. from the sitting
room window, whence she looked oUt
afternoons whecnsA work was done.
For a day e. us eless.son to
this dig.S haar-
about as il tae9 N his new situa
ton. On the third morning, however,
no sooner did the ncighbors begin to
stir than he electrified each sser-bv
with the announcement:
"Rachel's gone on Jacob; no chance
for John!"
Of course, the more laughter this
raised the more vociferously the bird
proclaimed the news. It spread like
wildfre, and the parrots audience
steadily increased. Rachel, meanwhile.
had gone into Mysteries, but however
much this incommodcd the family it
made no impression on the parrot, who,
although threatened and beaten and
relegated to darkness, waXed more and
more furious with desire to spread his
knowledge.
Jacob kept out of the way for while.
but there was no lack of couriers to
bring him information of the other fell
lows discontinue and the parrots
heroic defence of his cause At last
Rachels father appeared, wearing on
his weather-beaten face an odd mixture
of frown and grin.
'Look a-here," he said, "between
that derned birds screechin' an folks a
cacklln', that gals Almost out o. her
head. There's nothin' for you to do
but go over there and try to fix up
things as wells We can. l guess most
likely she II see ye-I do no, folks can't
always tell"
The upshot was Rachel married Jacob,
who sticks to it that it was the pene-
trative wisdom of his rivals parrot that
did the business, and denies to this day
all knowledge of the way the parrot
came by his speech. -B0Ston RecorI.
