Very Economical

A story has lately been told that illus
trates A, L Stewart's noted economical
spirit He had given dinner aud thea
tire party, and instead Of taking his guests
to the the theatre in carriages, as they had
expected, he hailed stage and democrat
ically hustled them all into 1T. Judge and
Mrs. Hilton were OF the party. While
paying the fares Mr.. Stewart dropped q
piece Of money, and during almost the
entire trip kept turning up the straw ia
the bottom Of the stage in search OF it.
Judge Hilton, who was sitting near him.
took from his pocket nickel. and, pass
ing it to the millionaire, said;
"For Heavens sake. Mr.. Stewart, put
this in your pocket, and don't kick any
more dust with that straw"
And here is something similar about
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who died not long
ago: One night, when the candle by
which the servants lighted their way to
bed, gave out before the allotted time /,
Mrs. Astor said to Justine, the old French
woman who had lived with them some
years, Sprinkle salt around the wick,
Justine and IT will light you to bed.

The Australian Aboriginss,

The character OF the aboriginal, when
studied, shows traits that his white oppres'

known TO stay with his sick master on the
desert plains Of interior. "A nstralia till death

safety might have been secured with ease.
Their power Of endurance is such that they
have been known to travel over l25 miles

aud scent is now appreciated by the po
lice, and woe be to the criminal whose
track they are uponl Not a disturbed leal
nor an overturned stone will escape their
keen eyes.
Last December three desperate bush
rangers escaped from the Jail at Perth,
Western Australia They we're familiar
with the bush and had hours start, yet
with the assistance OF "black trackers,
the escapes we're in the hands OF the police
within "a hours.
But the "blackfellow" will not work; il
any duty is required Of him, and the idea
is impressed upon him that il is only play,
he is ready and willing to do it, no natter
how arduous the task may be- He will
ride horseback all day after cattle. and
stay away all night to watch them, il he
thinks it is fun; but let him find it is work

Literary Notes.
knowledge for the Millions.

The fourth volume Of Alden's Manifold
Cyclopeda contains I22 illustrations, and ex-
tends from Baptism to Bilberry pages,
large type, handsome cloth binding. for Soc,
or In elegant half Morocco binding for 6sc!
Is not that truly bringing knowledg within
reach of the millionss The great merit Of
rhe Cyclopedia is its adaptation to practical
use; giving under each proper head the in
formation most likely to be needed, and in
concise, easily available form. Careful ex-
animation impresses one with its accuracy, as
we'll as the remarkable fullness Of its infor-
Motion. For actual use it abundsntly an
swers the needs Of all save those whose pur-
suits require exhaustive study of certain sub
iects. The combination Of Unabridged Die
tionray and Cyclopedia is wonderful con-
venience. Each volume, as it comes to the
readers hands invariably renews the surprise
felt that book so we'll got up can be aifor-
ded for a price so low. Whoever wants a
Cyclopedia-and who does not would do
we'll to order at least a specimen volume,
which may be returned if not wanted. Re-
duced prices are offered to early subscribers
for complete sets, which are to consist Of 80
or more volumes, the volumes to be issued at
intervals Of about month. The work is not
sold by agents or by booksellers, but only by
the publishers direct. which in some measure
accounts for the wonderfully low prices.

Pensions.

President Cleveland has ap-
proved the act Of Congress pro-
viding that pensions heretofore or
hereafter granted to widows of
soldiers of the war of the rebel
lion shall commence at the date
of the death of their husbands.
The Commissioner of pensions
gives notice that in the settlement
under this law of claims already
allowed, no formal application will
be required, and that the services
of attorneys will not be necessary.
Widows entitled, under said law,
need only write a letter giving
name, postofice address and GER
tificate number and the claims
will be allowed with as little de-
lay as practicable.

State Cadetship.

/ will hold examinations in Sa-
vannah, on Saturday, June 10th,
and Saturday July 14th, for cadet
ship appointments to University
Of Tennessee. Applicants must
be at least 10 years Of age; must
show good moral character, and
be prepared to pass an examina-
ton in arithmetic, English gram
mar and composition, geography
and United States history. All
who pass can receive an appoint
ment, with free tuition, good for
five years. With such an appoint
ment the total necessary expences
of a cadet at the University are
only about $3.50 per session of ten
months, which is little more than
it would cost him to stay at home.
Many opportunities are offered
young men at the University to
earn something, by which they
can futher reduce their expenses.
This is an unsurpassed opportu-
nifty for young men to get splendid
education. 1t will not be so easy
after this year to get an appoint
ment, as the University will be
filed up.
For particulars of courses of
study address the president, DR..
Charles w. Dabney, Jr., Knoxville
Tenn.
Examinations will be made at
