A Husbands Sorry Time.

Boston Post.
| heard the other day of a little
comedy in real life which was trans
acted a short time ago here in Boston
and in the Immediate vicinity. A young
man and his wife, who have not long
been married, were intending to spend
the night at her fathers house in a
neighboring town; and as the husband
could not get away until late in the after
noon. he escorted his wife to the station
and put her on board of a somewhat
earlier train, an accommodation train,
as he supposed. just before it started.
And it so happened that in the same
car, in the next seat to his wife, was a
young man who is generally believed to
have been an unsuccessful sutton for her
hand. The train had scarcely left the
station before the husband. who, by the
way, is of a very jealous disposition,
discovered that it was an express, max
ing its first stop forty OF fifty miles
from Boston.
After good deal of telegraphing to
one person and another, including an
explanatory dispatch to his mOther-in-
law, the mortified young man had the
pleasure of meeting his wife at the
proper station about two hours late fol
dinner. She could scarcely have beer
otherwise than fatigued, hungry and
| irritated; but mark the cleverness Of
the woman! "Tired, bored, worn OUT

lying there seven or eight hours. l left
my gun on the ground and started Off
on my hands and knees. The corpse of
Federal lay directly in my way,
and was just making a half circle
around it when the supposed dead man
scrambled up, seized his musket, which
lay beside him, and whirled on me with
sort of scream. You see it all came
so suddenly that / was confused, and
when he came at me l was still on my
hands and knees and was helpless. He
held the gun at "charge bayonets" and
made an awful lunge at me. The point
of the bayonet passed through my
blouse, and the mnge pushed me over
and the steel went into the ground al
most to the muZZle of the gun. l was
thus pinned to the earth, and the man
let go of the musket and fell across me,
uttering a groan of pain as he came
down.
My position was such that could not
free myself for two or three minutes,
and when did the man was dead for
sure. He had probably been uncon-
SciouS for long time before the frenzy
of death caused him to attack me in the
singular manner he did. So firmly was
pinned TO the earth that l had to
''skin" out OF my blouse to get free, and
it took stout twist at the butt of the
muSket to pull the bayOnet out OF the
hard baked soil

and $1,000. When the discovery of the
box was made known, neighbOr of
MahOney's remembered having seen the
Old miser pay several visits to the tree
just before he died. 1t is supposed that
the old man had felt that his end was
near, and had removed his money from
his house to the curious hiding place
where it was found. The squirrel had
discovered the pile of paper and the
box, and had torn the bills INTO frag-
ments to make itself warm and cosy

CURIOUS EXTENDED BOOKS
The Mania for Adding Hlustra-
tons to VOlumes---The "Grang-
ePite'sS Methods

The Mania for Adding IIlustra-
tiOns to VOlumes---The "Grang-
critics" Methods.
The "Grangerite" is the pet name by
which the extended" book man is
known. He is looked upon as a vam-
pire by the religious old bOOk-cOllectOr,
who loves books for their text. He is a
vandal, destroyer of books, danger
GUS man to the libraries. He leaves his
finger marks on some of the most valua-
BILE works at the mercantile and public
school libraries; he is a terror to private
libraries: he is at every sale, and after
buying book he wants, CUTS it of it's
contents to tear out perhaps one page
that he wants. He is Unsuitable and pc
cnliar, to say the least, in his methods.
1t is easy to see why extending book
is fascinating, for it is simple and Him
liable. 1t is growing craze, and there
are number of grangerites in st. Louis,
says the Globe Democrat.
To extend a book means i'll ustrating
or embelliShing without the aid of some
artist, by placing between the pages of
a book pictures of objects therein de-
scribed, portraits OF the author and per-
sOnages mentioned in the text, and IL
Illustrations of subjects referred to. This
may sound simple enough at first read
ing. but in reality the task gives col
lectOr life-wOrk and may cost for
tune. There are works originally of 100
pages which have been thus extended
to 1000 pages.
The collector begins simply by gath
ering few pictures illustrating the
salient points of the book in hand at
trifling expense. That does not satisfy
him any more than few stamps do in
the case of philaletist. The further
illustration of his book becomes a
mania. AS soon as his volume be-
comes bulky he tears away the binding
and divides it into two or more volumes.
After that he haunts the bOOk-stands,
looks through every illustrated book or
paper at auction sales. and will buy a
set of books, if necessary, to illustrate
some object in his book. An idea of this
labor can well be given when it is stated
that lady here has been engaged for
six years illustrating volume of
ByrOn's works, and has nearly thirty
different portraits of the poet and vari-
Gus noted places mentioned in the
''Childe Harold" No picture, however
badly sOiled, escapes her, and she has
etchings, engravings and photographs
without number. Autograph letters of
persons mentioned in the book have
been obtained, and from small volume
of poems it has become an album OF art
and literature

SEEING THE GUILLOTINE.
A Young English Lady's Visit to
the Paris ExecutiOner.

VI. Samson lived in the Rue du Marais
du Temple, in an isolated house, of
which the jalouSieS were always closed.
He received many visits, says Victor
Hugo. Numbers of English people
went to see him. When visitors pre-
scented themselves at NJ. SansOnss they
were introduced into an elegant recep-
ton room on the ground floor. fur
niShed entirely with mahogany. in the
midst of which there was an excellent
piano. always open and provided with
pieces of music. Shortly afterward NJ.
Samson arrived and asked his visitors
to be seated. The conversation

place where the guillOtine was perma-

themselves around 1t, and it was made

sisting of the father, the mother and
three pretty daughters, fair and with
lOSy cheeks, presented themselves at
Sanson's residence. 1t was in order to
see the guillOtine. Samson took them

TOWN CRIERS.
The Popularity of This Queer Old
Custom in English Villages.

Many of the towns and villages of the
old wOrld-and some of those of the new
cling tenaciously to ancient customs.
They frown on all modern innovations,
evidently believing that "old things are
best" A tourist, writing from Eng
land, says that the most interesting
thing he saw in the ancient town of
Warwick was something which hap
pened just as he was about to leave the
place.
1t could not have been better ar
ranged. The morning of my departure
supdry bold and adventurous Warwick
ianS had gone on railroad excursion to
the unknown and distant Portsmouth,
100 long and weary miles away. Just
as l was going away the town crier
came or the streets carrying in his hand
message announcing the safe arrival
at the distant port of Portsmouth of
the band of Adventures.
He wore the exact costume of the
town crier of the time of Henry VIII.
He had black cooked hat a la NapO-
leon L. His coat was single-buttoned
red frock with long skirts descending
nearly to his feet.
He was a sOlemn-looking man, with a
| long red nose. a sharp-featured face and

hand brass bell, which he would ring
with a sharp jerk and then howl the
contents of the dispatch something like
the following:
"Kerchingl The Warwick party
numbering forty souls, arrived this
morning at Portsmouth at $50. All
safe and well. Kerchlng."
The way windows and doors flew oper
| at the "KerchingP" of the crier's bel
showed how popular was this means Of
circulating news in Warwick. The
solemnity and curiosity expressed upoI
the wrinkled faces of the old women a
some of the open doorways were mos

Importance of the town crier.
Some of the advanced thinkers of The
village-few in number-scoffed at him
but the majority regarded him as mos
important and useful functionary.

NJ. Pasteur and His Dogs at Home.

NJ. PaSteur anu His Dogs ut Home.
Paris Figaro.
In one of the ante-ro0ms several
monkeys were gamboling about and re-
ceive the visitors with friendly grim
aces. Through passage Ornamented
with the celebrated GambrinuS song in
a rich frame, which is the gift of the be-
levers of the north. one arrives at the
Sanctuary-a large, well-lighted hall.
In its center the master stands sur
rounded by alembicS, phialS and other
vessels. looking through his enormous
budget of letters from all parts of the
world. In round, latticed cages dogs of
different races are locked up. One is in
the last stage of rabies; his bark sounds
abnormal; his hOarSe cries are not I'M
like the crow of a cock. The noise
frightens the rest of the dogs, which
rush into the fartheSt corner of their
cage if one approaches the door. If you
knock with your foot against
the cage the diseased dog runs
furiouSly about and tries to bite
the lattice work. The end of
an iron bar is held out to him and he
seizes it at once with his teeth and will
not let it go again even if the iron has
been heated. The animal refuses to
take the food which is regularly offered
to it, but it attacks with avidity the hay
which serves as its bed, pieces of wood
and other things, and devours them
without masticating them. Farther on
a cock crows triumphantly, hares, pigs,
monkeys submit with varying docility
| to the innoculations, and all these
creatures share the same fate. With re-
gard to the dogs, Nj. PaSteur says;
"These animals are suffering, without
doubt: it is law of nature. 1t is nee

SURGERY IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Queer Treatment of Wounds
Valuable Vegetable Remedies.

Valuable Vegetable Remedies.
Surgery is the branch of the medical
art that among the ZuluS can be said to
be the most advanced. Their treatment
OF wounds is especially remarkable, and
in several complicated cases treated by
myself, according to the usual methods,
for two or three months without sue
cess. their native physicians brought
about cure in a comparatively short
time, says traveller in South Africa.
Their system is based principally upon
the earliest possible ObturatlOn of all
wounds. They first extract the for
eign body, bullet or spicule of
bone that may be present in the rudest
possible manner, using their fingers
wound carefully and cover it with
thick paste composed of charcoal and
mutton suet, taking care that no portion
of the lacerated tissues remain exposed
to the air. They treat fractures as we
do, using pieces OF bark, suitably cut,
for SplmtS. / have never seen traces OF
amputation among them.
SwellingS of all kinds, the early stages
of abSceSS or anthrax, intlammatOry
rheumatism, etc, are treated by means
of the bulbs of the genus album. onion.
wild garlic, etc. The bulb being stepped
in water heated almost to the boiling
point is applied while still hot. This
treatment is attended with marvellous
results, large ana very painful swell
ingS disappearing in the course of a
few hours. The secret of their phySi-
clans is the proper selection of the bulbs
to be used in a given case.
Another valuable remedy much en-
plOyed by them in SwelllmgS and general

is the wild castor bean. half the size
