Buy at Home.

When will people learn to do their
trading in legitimate manner and
avoid all "fakesH' The answer is,
just as soon as they learn that no
man will sell a gold dollar for fifty
cents. A point in instance comes
from Trumbull county, Ohio, where
number of farmers were victimized
by party of canvassers who sold
groceries. The methods adopted
were as follows: A party of sleek
canyassers went through the country
selling groceries to the farmers, by
sample, and agreeing to deliver on q
certain day. The prices were away
down below market price and the
farmers fell easy victims. When the
goods came to be delivered they were
found of the most inferior quality and
short in weight. The leader of the
gang has been arrested, charged with
obtaining money under false preten-
ses. Very little sympathy can be
shown to the men who were so
greedy to take the bait thrown out to
them, for with all the experiences
which farmers have had in the past
few years with swindlers, they do
not seem to profit, but are ready to
be taken in again.

Left-HandedneSS.

DR.. Feltz, in L'Art Medical, re-
lates the following as q possible ex-
planation of the occurrence of left-han-
dedness. In family composed of
five persons. the father and mother
were right.handed, as was also the
eldest son, who had been cared for in
his infancy 10y nurse. The second
child had been Dursed by his mother
and was left-handed. The third
child, also nursed by his mother, was
at the age Of one year evidently left
handed, never grasping any object
with right-hand DR.. Feltz noticed
that the mother carried the child on
her left arm, and, upon being ques-
toned, said it had always been her
custom to carry her chilren on this
arm. The doctor advised her her to
hold the child on her right arm.
She did 80; the child soon began to
use his right hand in seizing objects,
and is now, at the age OF ten years,
normal as regards the preference of
the right over the left hand. The
doctor explained that when the nurse
carries the child on her left arm, the
left arm of the infant is the one that
is free, and which consequently he
learns to use, to the neglect of the
right.

prominence in the tribe He married
O woman of their nation and his son
and daughter had inherited many of
the finest qualities of both races.
why did you not come back TO us
during all these years." cried the old
mother with passionate reproach.
Brown (for be had kept his old nancy
told her that he had never doubted
the tale told him fifty years before of
the destruction of his whole family.
Why should he care to visit the
scene of such desolation?
And what started you at last?"
queried Col Brown, bluntly.
There had been a treaty ON foot
between the Indians and whites,
Brown said, and one of the whites
had lived in Virginia as boy bad
sat on the same bench at school with
the Brown brothers, and this man
told the chief that his mother was
still living, but warned him that if
he would see her alive he must make
no tarrying.
A few weeks later, aud the stal.
wart sons, strong even in advanced
years, laid the old mother to rest in
the family burying ground, under the
great oaks which had witnessed so
many tragedies since the white mans
axe first sounded in their midst.
And now it appears that by the
law of primogeniture (then in force in
Virginia) the old chief is the legal
owner of all the broad acres which
Col. Brown and his children have
looked upon as theirs. He may go
back to his forest home without
knowing his rights. Nay; but Col.
Brown is the soul of honor. He may
go back richer than bis whole tribe;
nay; but the cid chief is the soul of
generosity. When he does return to
his long brushcovered cabin, he is
not richer than when he left it months
before. except in the love and graft
tude, and admiration of old kinsfoks
and acquaintance: for he has formal
ly made over his rights in the prop
erty to his brother
There was tall, Saxon-looking lad
of Col Samuel Browns who would
tain have kept the beautiful Indian
maiden by tenderer bond than the
cousinly one; but the girl was in love
with brave, and was to be made his
wife on her return; and how could
pale face hope to keep her from going
back to her painted lover and his
wigwam in the forest?

The Grocer and the Flies.

A Chattanooga grocer being great
ly troubled by flies, put twenty-one
sheets Of sticky fly paper about his
store. la the evening he gathered
them up, and noticed how much much
heavier they were, being covered
with flies. He weighed the twenty
one sheets and found they weighed
seven pounds. Then he put twenty.
one fresh sheets on the scales and
they weighed four pounds and four
ounces. Thus the flies weighed two
pounds twelve ounces. He found
that there were twenty flies to each
square inch of the fly paper; each
sheet had 1886 square inches and g.
720 flies, and the twenty-one sheets
had l4l, l20 hies. Thus one may as
certain the weight of fly; for, II
I4I,l20 aies weigh two pounds
twelve ounces, it's easy to calculate
what one weighs.

The Isles Of Salute.

The following episode was related
to me recently by United States
naval officer, who was an eyewitness
to the scenes, and whose phraseology
| shall follow as closely as possible:
"In the year 1866 l was aboard
the United States steamship Wander
bilt, Commodore John r. Rodgers
commanding, and we were acting as
d consort to a double -turreted moni-
tor on it's way around Cape Horn to
Pacific station Running short of
coal we put in at the Isles Of Salute
to obtain our supply.
"To,the uninformed | must here
state that the Isles of Salute are off
the French Guinea coast, and are to
France what Botany Bay is to Eng
land. There oil noted French crimi-
nails are sent, and few, if any, ever
return 10 their native country. On
being convicted of crime the crimi-
nal is given a number, and by that
number only is he known; his name
becomes thing of the past. Ii he
has friends it would be an utter i'm
possibility for them to trace him, as
his name and number appear but
once together, and that once upon the
criminal records. which are kept per-
fectly secret. From this it can east
ly be imagined how easily he drops
from the knowledge of the world
when be is forwarded to the Isles of
Salute to end his miserable and
crime slained life; for end he must in
one year, perhaps two years The
climate does it, and what terrible
climate it must be.
Good heavens, never before had
| seen such an assemblage of care
worn. hopeless, fierce and desperate
countenances. | believe the only
employment that could be found for
them was coaling vessels As we
lay in the harbor, one thing that
struck me as being singular was the
presence of such large number Of
ravenous, man-eating sharks, some
tremendous in size The harbor was
literally swarming with them, and
their sharp fins could be seen cutting
the water in every direction. God
help the one who was so unfortunate
as to fall overheard there. / after
wards learned that none of the con-
victs were ever buried upon the is-
land; but that the bodies of the dead
had simply weight attached to
them, and were then thrown into the
harbor. This custom, no doubt, ex-
planned the presence of 80 many
sharks.
1--WE had completed our coaling one
evening and were to sail in about
! two days. The sun dropped below
the horizon, and as there is, practical
ly, no twilight in that region, night
soon enveloped US her dark folds. 1t
being sultry, there were a number of
officers on the quarterback, among
them Commodore Rodgers and my
self Somewhere hear six bellsUl
o'clock) we were startled by hearing
several ordinations, followed by u
cautious call in French, from the port
side of the vessel, and apparently
from the water. Orders were imme-
diately given to lower lantern, and
when this was done, we beheld the
form Of n man, cmaciated, haggard
and wild eyed, clinging to the side of
the vessel. A rope was lowered; he
! was soon drawn aboard and brought
