THE JUNIORS RIGHT.
How the Youngest-Born is Always Fa-
voted In Song and Story.


The wide range OF junior-right is one
Of the most remarkable discoveries Of
recent anthropological science. The
younger son inherited to the exclusion
of all other collaterals. Fairy lore has
seized upon this idea with avidity.
Fairy favorites are, Of course, always
young and beautiful. Cinderella is the
type of these fairy favorites. She is
the youngest of the three sisters. The
two elder girls are old and ugly, she is
young and beautiful. They are cross
and badly disposed, she is sweet-tem.
pered and gentle. The fairy god
mother has no interest in the fortunes
of the two elders, her cares are eXclu-
sively served for Cinderella. Of course,
the Prince falls in love with her, for
how should the glass slipper fit any
other than the fairy favorite? In the
"Arabian Nights story Of the Three
Sisters" it was again the youngest
whom the Sultan overheard express
ing an ambition to become the En-
peror's queen-consort. The eldest sis
ter had been content with the baker,
the second with the cook, and when
the youngest carries off the matri-
monial prize, the others use their ut
most endeavorS to make her feel the
effects of their jealousy and malice.
With beauty and the beast again, it is
the youngest of the merchants daugh-
ters that plays the title role. But it is
surely needless to multiply instances.
Whenever deus eI naachi,aa is needed
to marvelously relieve difficulty, tc
do deed of daring, or in any way to
retrieve the family fortunes. it is the
youngest child, male or female, that
will probably prove itself the hero.

AN OLD PUNISHMENT.
The Introduction of Tarring and Feather.
ing as Torture.

Philologists have long observed that
mords that are popularity known as
"Americanisms" are really good old
English terms brought over by the
pilgrim fathers, the early settlers on
the James, ETC., and retained here
when forgotten in the country of their
birth. Similarly, not a few Dutch
workshops, Doodle, etc.-brought
over by the early settlers of New
Amsterdam, have spread from their
original American habitat, till they
have become part of our speech. 1t is
not less interesting to note that cer-
tain customs, forgotten in their home
land, but retained here, and, there
fore, characterized as American are
really importatiOns from Europe. Not
one of these customs has been regarded
as more distinctively yankee" than
the venerable one of ''tarring and
feathering," and yet we learn from the
"Annales Rerum Anglicarum" of the
venerable English historian, Hoveden
Giving in the thirteenth century and
Court Chaplain to Henry III.) that
the custom is at least as old as the
time of Richard the Lion-hearted. He
tells that Richard, on setting out on
the third crusade, made sundry enact
ments for the regulation of his fleet,
,ne of which was that "a robber who
shall be convicted Of theft shall have
his head cropped after the fashion of a
champion, and boiling pitch shall be
poured thereon, and the feathers Of a
cushion shall be shaken out on him, so
that he may be known, and at the first
land at which the ship shall touch he
shall be set on shore" Whether the
custom was earlier than this we have
no means of determining. 1t is at
least close on to seven hundred years
old.-Amerscan Notes and Queries.

FREAKS OF CONSCIENCE.
An Instance When the Silent Monitor
Caused a Thief to Repent.

An Instance When the Silent Monitor
Caused Thief to Repent.
Constant readers of newspapers may
have observed that a curious epidemic
of conscience often follows the commits
sion of great crime. Men and even
women hasten to accuse themselves OF
the particular offense which Is excit-
ing public interest, or OF similar crimes
that have never come to light or have
been forgotten. The police are often
compelled to investigate confessions
made under the influence of drink or
of morbid Imagination. Not long ago
a large field in the neighborhood Of
London was dug up in the expectation
of discovering the skeleton of a farmer
who disappeared mysteriously thirty
years before A sailor declared he had
murdered the missing man and buried
him in a meadow. No remains were
discovered, but the result of the investi-
cations made by the police led to the
trial and conviction of the sailor for a
murder committed by him a few weeks
previous to his false confession. A
thief is not often troubled by that silent
monitor called conscience. There is,
however, on record one instance in
which either conscience or gratitude
compelled thief to make restitution.
Charles Dickens. the novelist, when in
France was robbed of his watch-a
valuable gold repeater, presented to
him by admirers who had caused their
appreciation to be engraved upon the
case. Dickens grief was short, for, on
the following afternoon, he received
the watch, and with it polite note
apologizing for any inconvenience that
might have been caused by its tenn
porary withdrawal. The pickpocket
had not recognized his victim as a
fellow-countryman, and still less as the
inimitable portrayer of Bill Sykes

Living on the Reputation of Others.

"Take everything that l have but my
good name; leave me that and am con-
tent" So said the philosopher. Sosay all
manufacturers Of genuine articles to that
horde of imitators which thrives upon the
reputation of others. The good name Of
ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs has induced
many adventures to put in the market i'm
itations that are not only lacking in the
best elements Of the genuine article, but
are often harmful in their effects.
The public should be on their guard
against these frauds, and, when an exter-
nal remedy is needed, be sure to insist upon
having ALLCOCK's PoRoUS PLASTER.

Auto-Inoculation Of BoiIs.

Those who are ever troubled with
boils know as Job did, that it is COM
mon to have a crop of boils. This is
doubtless due to impurities circulating
in the blood; it is also supposed that
it is possible to get a crop of boils
from one by what is called auto-inocu-
slation. Which means that the dis
:. charge from one boil if carried by
s fingers or dressings to a healthy por-
tion of the skin, may plant the seeds
of another one. TO avoid this auto
incubation it is well to use the precau-
ton of antisepsis, or in short to disin-
feet the emanations from the boil by
y frequent applications, both before and
after it opens, of solution Of boric
acid and absolute alcohol. This affords
apretty short means of preventing a
repetition or increase of boils by auto
incubation, and where there is ten
dency to recurrence in spite of such
precaution, thorough constitutional
treatment for the blood is certainly
advisable. DR.. Foote's Health Monthly.

probably located in the PyrenAes--
itttsbuyyh Chronicle.

How Guests at Cafes and Hotels Are Vic
| timized and Deceived.
Said returned tourist to reporter
last evening: II see it don't take long
for the walters on this side of the wa
ter to adopt European tactics when it
is to their personal advantage"
"What, for instance?"
"From long and not unsual expert
ence in cafes in various parts of the
world, have adopted the custom Of
looking carefully over the itemized bill
brought me for my meals and compar-
ing it with the prices on the bill of
fare. That is what an itemized bill
is for, and not simply to look like a
washing list. The other night when
dining rather literally at one of the
up town hotels, l remarked discrep-
ancy as between the account presented
and the change returned from the bill
l gave the waiter.
at was only fifty cents short, but 1
called the walters attention to the
fact. He seemed astonished and count
ed the change twice, then, lifting the
bill of items from the plate where it
rested with the change, his features
were spread with a satisfied smile as
two quarters of dollar appeared
Hereunder. His hilarity disappeared,
though, when 1 told him that had
spent time and money enough in Paris
to know that trick well, and always
rewarded them there, as proposed to
do with him, by omitting his accus-
toned fee"
What is the trick?" queried the re-
porter.
Don't you see that by hiding two
or three coins under the list in that
way when returning the change to a
careless man who does not count his
change, he would receive his tip and
the hidden coin also, but when serv-
ing more careful person, myself for
instance, and recount was called for,
the missing coin could be found and no
suspicion of dishonesty attach to the
waiter, unless fellow got tired of
having the same old chestnut played
too often. There are other tricks be-
side that for capturing the careless"
said the tourist. Zone that is prac-
ticed in France, where gold louis and
half louis are the most common coins
in circulation, is when the waiter re-
ceives louis he puts it between his
teeth, or seems SO to do. You see the
gold right their in plain sight all the
time, but he gives you change for a
half louis only.
'You Immediately call his attention
to the fact and remark that it was
louis you gave him. But no, SIR he
says, see there and takes the coin
from between his teeth and behold it
is only half louis. You are puzzled,
for you were confident that it came
from the little spring case that half
louis would not fit, and can not ac-
count for it until you learn that he has
had the half louis in his mouth wait
ing for just such an occasion. The only
safe way, therefore, is the moment you
see your louis going toward his mouth,
let the battle begin, and tell him to let
it remain on the table until the change
is given. That is not all, for in the
supper rooms at the various cafes in
Paris the number of the room is placed
right over the column of figures and
added in with the total amount / sup
pose if the room were not numbered
they would add in the date; any thing,
in fact, to make the amount bigger

DR.. Sherman named his great remedy

that at that time all remedies for the blood,

would have superseded all other prepara-
