The Contagion Of Yawning.

"Did you ever notice how contagious
yawning is?' said q round faced young
man waiting for Harlem train the other
afternoon at the Park place station Of
the Sixth Avenue Elevated road. "You
can make any man yawn if you go about
it properly" continued the young man.
II have to travel up and down to Harlem
a good deal, and amuse myself that way.
Women yawn oftener than men, and lat
men oftener than lean men. The best
time to make them yawn is early in the
morning and late at night. Then all they
want is hint and off they 60 One night
last week sat next to an old gentleman.
He got on at Chambers street and rode up
to Forty-second street. l made him yawn
twenty seven times. Then I was tired,
but the old fellow had gone into the
habit, and l thought he would split his
jaws, he kept them so far apart"
The young man had hardly seated him
self in the car before he turned around
and stared straight at a workingman op-
posite, who, of course, looked at him.
Then the young man leaned his head lazily
against the window, closed his eyes,
opened his mouth very wide and began to
yawn with great deiiberation and an air
of utter WEAKNESS. The man in the blue
overalls became interested and stared in
tently at the wide open mouth and the
closed eyes. The young man put up his
hand in affectation of covering his mouth,
and then, as If it was no use to try to
check an overpowering impulse he drew
his hand away, threw his head still fur
Their back and uttered that sound peculiar
to the hearty yawner-ho-ho-ho A mo-
ment later the man in the blue overalls
gave evidence of a twitching of the jaws,
spasm shot across his cheeks and then
his mouth opened and he yawned so wide
that it appeared as though be were going
60 on up into space. The workingmau
was now started, and all the way up he
kept yawning every few moments. Then
the young man turned his attention to an
old lady opposite with equal success

Tradition Concerning Wampum.

An Indian Of the Onondaga reservation

DO Figares Icy

Do figures lie? Let us see.
Two women had thirty chickens
each. which they took to market. They
agreed to divide equally the proceeds OF
their sole.
One said her chickens two for 81, get.
ting for her chickens S15.
The other sold hers three for ST., get.
ting for her chickens $40.
This made $50 dollars realized on the
sixty chickens.
You sold your thirty chickens tive
for ST., and you sold your chickens three
for 81. That makes sixty chickens a
the rate of five for 81. Well, five into
sixty goes twelve times-twice twelve is
twenty-four. That makes $24 your
chickens brought But as shown
above the women actually had S25 IL
their pockets. And yet the merchant
figures were right. Do figures lie?
We find this old example. or puzzle,
again going the rounds of the press
The sixty chickens were not sold at the
rate of five for So. Thirty of them wert
sold at the rate of FIVE for So. so, or 81

Death OF MRS. l.. ID. naratu

The old. old story-death." AL
ways old in recording the common lot
ever new as it is told of those we
knew and loved yesterday, To-day our
friends are with us in the full bloom OF
death and with promise of long life;
tomorrow we gather, with hearts almost
broken, to gaze for the last time on their
~lifelcss forms. So has it ever been; so
will it be forever.
Having been sick but a little more
than one week, the announcement Of
Mrs. Bardin's death, which occurred on
Saturday at I o'clock p. m, came TO the
friends outside the family with the
shock Of surprise added to its all too
sufficient burden. Mrs. Eardin was
stricken with that dread disease, typhoid
fever, and Notwithstanding her robust
constitution, the constant attendance of
a devoted daughter and husband, care
full nursing and skilled medical treat
ment, she slowly sank away into the long
last sleep of death.
Mrs, BardiD anG husband were among
our first residents. She was n lady
greatly respected, and dearly beloved by
those who knew her rare qualities OF
mind and heart. Her death caused a
wave OF deep sorrow to pass over this
community; so strange, so impossible il
seemed that Mrs. Bardin was dead. She
filled q large place in the community;
she was not only a central figure at
home but in other circles as well. She
will be greatly missed, and nowhere
more, save in her own home, than in the
church where she has labored so dill
gently, The NJ. Z. church has lost one
of its most devoted members, and a hus
band and two daughters are left &c
mourn q loss irreparable. TO the be
reayed husband, u sympathy goes out
in fullest measure-to be thus suddenly
bereft Of the companion of so many
happy years. For him the sun will
never shine AS of old and the new and
elegant home will never be the home
anticipated. The chief Joy of his life
has set and will not rise for him again
on earth.
The funeral services at the III. T.
church were deeply impressive. Rev.
Mr.. Longhran and Rev. Mr.. Furnlel
officiating, and were very largely
attended. The remains were placed in
the kImball cemetery.
