She was large, muscular woman
with strong features that indicated
plainly her prominence in the domestic
circle, and he was a little, thin, weak
eyed, meek faced man who only came
to her shoulders. They sat side by side
in street car, totally oblivious of each
other. as long married folks often are.
They attracted the attention of two
smart young men directly opposite
them.
How funny they must have looked
as they stood up to be married, said
one. He must have looked like a
lamb led to the slaughter" ''Oh," said
the other, she was probably as large as
she was in those days. Don't you know
henpecked man actually grows smaller
under continued hectoring?' Just then
the little man took his market basket
from under the seat and left the car
alone. She had overheard them, and in
anything but dulcet tones she hissed:
"Do you think own any more of these
people cause happen to be on the same
seat? You thought he was my husband
cause he sat next me; dye think the
rest of 'em are my relations too? Mebbe
you're my second cousins cause you're

for several blocks further, but the loqua-
cious individuals left the car without
waiting to investigate any relationship.

Curious Chinese Notions.

Both savage and semi-barbarous peo-
pie have always exhibited great Tepug-
nance to any surgical operation, however
necessary, which involves amputation.
The North China Herald, in commenting
upon this circumstance, points out that
the Chinese have always shown this
repugnance, not on account of fear of
pain, for they are patient under all kinds
of physical suffering, but because they
look upon it as duty to keep the body
intact. If they submit to the amputa-
ton of limb, they invariably ask for
the severed member, and keep it in
box, to be buried in due time with the
owner Sometimes they will actually
eat it, thinking it only right that that
which has been taken from the body
should be returned to it.
On the same principle an extracted
tooth will be carefully preserved, or
ground to powder and swallowed in
water. Another curious phase Of the
same idea is seen in the belief that q sick
parent can be cured by broth made from
flesh cut from living child, and it is
looked upon as sign of filial piety for
the child to submit himself to an opera
ton for that purpose. The child is sup
posed to be Of the vital essence of the
parent, and if q portion Of this essence
is returned to the fountain head, the
parent will be greatly strengthened.
The peace loving nature of the Chinese
is said to be largely due to this respect
for the human body.-Chambers' Jour
nal.

Horace Greeley bore his character In
his face-half baby, half philosopher.
The sweetest child that ever looked into
its mothers eyes had not a more benevo-
lent expression than his countenance
habitually wore. The worst portrait
does not quite obliterate it; the best rend-
ers it imperfectly. The politician who
said, "a man who would hurt Horace
Greeley would strike his own mother"
roughly expressed the feeling which the
child-like part Of his face often excited.
His voice, too, was the pipe Of a child.
But above tho eyes there was such noble
dome of head that a Greek sculptor
would have been glad to take it for the
model of benevolent wisdom His de-
meanor showed similar contrasts. From
that baby face what torrents of bad
words would come, with no more malice
behind them than there is behind child's
vehement crying when some one has
broken its toy. With pen in his hand
and a subject before him suited to his
talents and disposition, as well as to the
momentary needs of The Tribune, what
editor ever wrote more effectively?-

A bright young friend of mine who is
working his way through the Bates
Theological school, and who will some
day be worthy, and, as I believe, a.
successful worker in the Christian
ministry, relates his first experience in
supplying: II was pretty hard up,
and that means considerable to me, for
| have never had any troublesome sur
plus during my course. 1t looked as if
l would have to drop out a while and
earn something before l could go on,
and | had about concluded to canvass
for book when I got my first chance to
supply. You may be sure I accepted it
thankfully, for to my mind it promised
needed financial aid. The church was
some miles out of the city, but l didn't
mind that. The next Sunday hired a
livery team and drove out there and de-
livered my best sermon, and after taking
dinner with one of the good deacons,
started for home with the contents Of
the contribution box, which amounted
to $3.50. My bill at the livery stable
amounted to S225, so that was just rs
cents out Of pocket by my first appear

The Dead Came to Life.

A long lost brother, who was supposed
to be dead, and on whose estate letters of
administration were granted to his sister
by Surrogate Rollings, of New York, in
February, 1887, has turned up alive and
healthy. Surrogate Ransom has revoked
the letters, and the property, largely in
creased through his sisters careful man.
agement, has been restored to the man
whose supposed death she had mourned.
His name is Pierre E. Beauron, and his
sister is Marie F. Jodrey. He was born
in Switzerland forty-six years ago and
came to this country when he was seven
years old. He lived in Shohola, Pa,
until 1868, when he started for Havana.
He lived there three years, then started
for the Pacific coast, and few months
later departed for Rio Janeiro, where he
remained eighteen months. He next
went to India and lived there four years.
From there he went to Australia, where
he lived nine years. Then he proceeded
to Europe and remainedin France seven
months and in Spain seven months more.
For over seven years prior to his return
to Shohola his sister had not heard of
him.-Butfalo News.

Who Owns the Photograph?

Justice North's decision in q London
court that private photographs are pri-
vate property is q reassertion, or rather
a natural application, of principle
which should be familiar. Unscrupulous
photographers have claimed the right to
sell and exhibit photographs of their
customers against their will, and there
have been legal opinions confirming this
extraordinary view. Thus it has been
held that the employment and payment
of photographer to reproduce the feat
ures of private person, for the latter's
private purposes, gave the photographer
a right to use the negative for the pub
lication of photographs for public sale.
Justice North, however, declares the
photographer wholly in the wrong, and
aptly says that while the negative be-
longs to the photographer the copyright
is vested in the person photographed.
This eminently sensible decision should
check practice common abroad. For
tunately, this evil has been less prevalent
here, although it exists, and American
courts, we believe, have decided that the
photographer has no right to make mer-
chandise of the likenesses of private Gus
toners. Leslie's Newspaper.

a Vote of Thanks.

A village in New England came into
possession of a neat and much needed
town hall, the gift of public spirited citi-
zens. When completed a meeting was
held to dedicate the new&building.
Speeches were made by prominent citi-

made to the chief benefactor and to those
who had been most active in forwarding
the enterprise.
One speaker mentioned the names OF
five or six of these citizens, and sug-
gested tAat vote of thanks be rendered

A moment later little wien faced

The Slaughter at Khyber Pass.

One of the most terrible, as it is also
one of the most thrilling, tales that his
tory has to tell is recalled by the an
nouncement in the Scottish papers of
Miss Edith Brydon's marriage in Inver-
ness cathedral. This lady's father was
the famous DR.. Brydon, of the Afghan
massacre of January, 1642-the one
survivor who, wounded and faint and
weary, after o most perilous ride, reached
Jellalabad to tell Gen. Sale the piteous
story of what had taken place in the
Khyber Pass. They were 1B,O00-or,
counting women and children, 10000
who set out from Cabul on that i'll
starred journey, and he was the only
one who had escaped. Between the
dark crags of Jugdullak the murderous
Afghans had their fill of blood. The
death trap ran with the gore of soldiers,
camp followers, women and children
alike. DR.. Brydon alone escaped. New
