STARTLING NEWS.
How Admiral Porter Once Upon limo
Paid or Some Paul Prys.

flow Admiral Porter Once Upon IL Time
Paid or Some Paul Prys. {
Admiral Porter is said by those who
remember him as q young man to have
delighted in practical joke. A story
is told of his fooling the Anglo-Aus-
tralians in 1854. He was then young
naval officer on leave. with permission
to take employment and he COM
manded the Golden Age. owned by j.
Howard e. Son, which was the first
steamer to make the round trip to
Australia, as it was also the first to
take passengers for California in the
40 Excitement There was considera-
bic jealousy in England, which nearly
prevented the English mail for Aus
tralia from being intrusted to the rapid
but risky experiment of steam to Aus
tralia, and the English community in
Australia took up the international
sheer and rdiculed n boat with so
much "op-housing." Porter stood
this as long as he could, and al last,
learning that papers were stolen from
his private desk and their contents
published in the newspapers, he left
on the desk one day, exposed to view,
a dispatch to himself announcing the
fall of Sebastopol-an event which was
awaited with feverish anxiety. Sure
enough the next edition of the local
weekly contained the startling news.
and Porter hugely enjoyed the efforts,
of the colonsts to harmonic their
views regarding the shocking bad
FORM of his hoax with the question
able methods by which his private dis
patches were made public.
During this same voyage there was
much discussion among the passengers
about the bloodthirsty and fatal habits
of the vampire bat, and every precau-
ton was taken not to admit the hor-
rible creatures into the ship. One
evening after dinner the passen-
gers were startled by loud screams
from the cabin of Il highly ex-
citable actress, who was one of
the travellers, and N running to her
relief, found her half-fainting and
pointing TO the form of a huge bat, its
ugly wings spread, fiat on the ceiling
of her state-room. No one dared to
touch it, but all stood about with
pallid faces, until Porter, who was
sent for, arrived, and sent a steward
for his pistol. The actress begged
him not to shoot the vampire, as he
might only wound and drop it behind
her berth, where it wolld Turk until
thirst for her blood should bring il
upon her in her sleep. But he was
firm; he took steady aim and fired
but nothing dropped. Under the
Captains orders sailor laid hand:
on the monster which proved to b.
made of leather and nailed to the cell
ing. Porter did not join in the shou
of laughter that followed the discov
cry, but no one who knew his love o
a practical joke believed that he wa
much surprised at it.--M Y Tribune.

Where Flies go in Winter.

Some one asked where do the flies
go in the winter? This is a question
of some interest, for the natural his
tory of a house fly is not generally
known. Few persons know that a
house fly is born fully grown and of
mature size, and that there are no
little flies of the same species,
small ones occasionally OBJ
served being different in kind
from the large ones. The house fly
does not lay eggs, but extrudes living
Larvae, which go through the usual
transformations in their temporary
abodes in heaps of decayed garbage,
and rubbish thrown out from houses.
1t does not bite or pierce the skin,
but gathers its food by a comb or
rake or brush like tongue, with
which it is able to scrape the varnish
from covers of books, and it thus
tickles the skin of persons upon
which it alights to feed upon the per-
spiration. A fly isa scavenger, and
is vehicle by which contagious dis
eases are spread. 1t poisons wounds,
and may carry deadly virus from
decaying organic matter into our
food. Itretires from the sight at be.
ginning ofwinter, but where it goes
few persons know. fla search of the
house is made they will be found in
great numbers secreted in warm
places in the roof or between the par.
titiens of floors. We recently had
occasion to examine the roof. and
found around the chimney myriad'
of flies alternating comfortably and
sufficiently likely to fly when dis
tributed in overpowering clouds. NJ
doubt this is a favorite winter resor
for these creatures.

PURCHASING WIVES.
How Women Are Bought Among Many
Semi Civilized People.


How Women Are Bought Among Many
Semi Civilized People.
Marriage by purchase, which is an
other very old custom, prevails among
many modern people The Baby
lonians and Assyrians reduced it to a
system. At certain times every year
the manageable women were brought
into the market place, and eventually
put up at auction. The good-looking
brought q good price. The plain
featured, although they may have
been worth their weight in gold, found
few bidders. The ill-favored, on the
other hand, were given away with
bowers made up from the money paid
for their hnndsomer sisters.
Many African tribes follow out the
principles of this ancient practice; and
that it is not wholly obsolete in
Europe was shown recently in tray
eler's account of curious marriage
custom among the Roumanians in the
Westerly Carpathians. The state
ment was made that every year, at the
feast of the Apostles Peter and
Paul, market is held on the crest of
the Gaina, from five thousand
to six thousand feet above the level of
the sea, and here the manageable
girls assemble with their parents, in
order to be viewed and claimed. All
the relatives on the female side con-
tribute to the dover Of the young
woman, and this goes with the damsel
to the market The young men also
bring the best they possess and appear
on the occasion gaily appareled. There
is good deal of bargaining at times,
and, as cattle are included In the gifts.
the place resembles great fair When
the betrothel is effected the pledge Of
attachment is not ring, but an em'
broidered handkerchief, 4. a.r-
In Syria certain recognized articles
are handed over to the brides father
as symbol Of purchase. The articles
are usually a carpet nose ring, q
neck chain, bracelets and camel bag.
They must be passed over to the father
purely for FORMS sake, as they become
eventually the property Of the young
wife. The cheapest and simples
transaction Of the kind appears to pre-
vail in Lapland. 1t Is said that If ont
in that country asks the father of 8
manageable girl to take drink, and
the offer is accepted, the understand
ing is that the person giving the trea
is accepted as the girls sutton. En-

March April May

Are the months in which to purify
the blood, as the system is now most
susceptible to benefit from medicine.
Hence now is the time to take Hoods
Sarsaparilla, a medicine peculiarly
adapted for the purpose, possessing
peculiar curative powers. 1t expels
every impurity from the blood, and
also gives it vitality and richness. 1t
creates an appetite, tones the diges-
ton, invigorates the liver, and gives
new life and energy to every function
Of the body. The testimony of
thousands, as to the great benefit
derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
should convince everybody that it is
peculiarly the best blood purifier and
spring medicine.
