The Snail as an Article of ROOD.

In several parts of England snails
are regularly eaten-not, it is true, as
an ordinary article of diet, but at
stated feasts. For instance. the New
castle glassmen were famous for their
taste in that direction. Every wear
they held a sort of gastronomic festi-
val, at which snails figured as the
principal dish. Whether the custom
has since then fallen into decay is
question on which, no doubt, local in
formation is to be had.
But we believe that the iron pud-
dlers in some parts of the Black coun-
try are wise enough to still indulge in
the same dainty. and it is by no means
uncommon to hear of snails boiled in
milk being prescribed, like the viper
broth of Carolinean times, for patients
far gone in consumption. 1t is less
agreeable to know that at one time
they We're employed in the manufact-
ure Of imitation cream, and that in
spite of analysts and acts of Parlia-
ment they are even yet bruised and
stewed in milk to form one of the toll
cradle palatable articles which pass
under that name.

small farmer has been known to clear
$1,000 per annum from snails, the vine
growers keeping them in dry cellars,
or i'll trenches under coverings of
leaves and earth; and from certain
"escargotieres, near Ulm, in Wurtem-
berg, no fewer than 10000, 900 of the
vineyard snails are sent every year to
other gardens to be fattened before
they are dispatched for the use of the
Austrian converts during Lent. From
Troyes it has been calculated that
snais to the value of 500, 000-the
wholesale price being four shiIlings
per 1O0-are forwarded to the Paris
markets. Packed in casks they are
also exported in small way to the

Tide Prairies of the Pacific Coast.

But very few if any of the hundreds
of people now arriving here from
inland states know anything about our
tide prairies and for their benefit this
article is written. First, they are not
are genuine prairies, built up en- the
one side by the deposits of the ebb and
flow of old ocean, for how many mil
lions of years no man knows. and on
the other side oy the washiugs of de-
cayed vegetation from the Hills and
uplands ever since the hills have
stood; the two mixing their deposits
and washings together have grown up
an alluvial formation which is not nor
can not be excelled for richness in the
known world. These prairies extend
from the waters edge back to the up
land and up the various streams and
are only covered by water at high
tide, and even in their wild state
grow nutritious grass which, if not
fed down, grows far above the head of
an ordinary man.
But when old oceans salty brine is
fenced off by dyke is when this land
shows off its mettle. 1t laughs at i've
tons of timothy to the acre; 100 bush
els of oats. 600 bushels of potatoes, or
hfty-six tons of beets or rutabagas are
no burden whatever, and year after
year il seems TO increase in fertility.
1t has no wear-out, droughts do not
affect it, but it tolls on year by year
and as sure as the farmer puts in the
seed aud keeps it clear from weeds he
is sure of rich harvest This land
never disappoints the owner. but Is as
reliable as old ocean ITSELF ofstesdno

There were three or four unoccupied
seats in the car, but he stood for mo-
ment, grip in hand, near the door, and
then walked to seat in which a Young
lady sat alone and sat down beside her
with an impudence that astounded all
other passengers. The girl looked up
at him and around the car. and evil
IDENTIFY realized the situation, for she
took pencil and tablet from her reti-
cule and made ready for him. After
about five minutes the man turned to
her and observed:
BEG pardon if am mistaken, but
don't you live at Utica?"
She looked up in a furtive way, and
then wrote on the tablet and handed
him:
81 am deaf and dumb"
"Ah, by George!" he sighed, as he
read it; "that's too, too bad. Deuced
pretty girl to have such a misfortune.
Well, I'm left, after all my smartnesS.

He nodded his head to her to signify
that he understood, and he would have
been glad to change seats if he could
have done so without loss of dignity.
As the train Numbered on he perused
the contents of a couple of newspapers.
yawned awhile, and then bought and
finished novel; and finally, after a
ride of four mortal hours, the whistle
blew, and he reached for his grip with
the remark:
"l'll be hanged if l amt glad this
stupid ride has come to an end at lastI"
Ditto" quietly replied the girl, as
she turned on him.
"You-you-!' he gasped, as he
stood there looking down upon her
with twelve kinds of emotion gallop-
ing over his countenance.

out and dropped to the platform like

escapes as a vessel engaged N an hon
est business. In the Red Sea they en-
ploy other means of escape. They deal
principally il children, and when there
is danger of capture they put their
captives in small boats and land them
on some island. where they conceal
them as best they can. One of the
difficulties in the way of stopping this
traffic is the consent of the slaves
themselves. In liberty away from
their own countries they see nothing
but starvation before them. and the
result is that many liberated slaves
often resell themselves. Moreover.
they have a dread of Europeans. The
Arabs tell them that the whites eat the
blacks.
The proper way to suppress the
trathc would be to commence with the
slave markets, which flourish under
the protection. or at least the toler-
ance, of the Turkish Government.
Formerly the markets were carried on
openly, now they are operated secret
ly, and that is the only difference. Tue
slavers land their merchandise upon
some deserted portion of the coast. and
from there it is brought overland to
Hodeida. Every body is informed of
the arrival. The Governor is the first
to get the news. The slaves are placed
with agents. who sell them either in
the town itself or in the interior. Of
course, the prices vary according to
the quality of the goods; but of late
years the prices have been considera-
oily raised on account of the fees which
the merchants are obliged to pay to
the Turkish officials Nevertheless. a
good servant can be purchased for
about 500 or $50. The negroes from
Zanzibar and the Soudan are generally
employed as servants. The women
from Djilmona and Abyssinia are high
priced. They are generally very
pretty, with tolerably clear complex
ions. and features of the European
type. They fill the harems of Arabia.
A handsome Gala about twelve years
old will sell easily for S120. $3.50, or
even 5000. In Iodeida, where there
are two European Consuls, this trade
is carried on secretly. but in the in
terror it goes on openly. In Loheva,
little town north of Hodeida, the
slaves are sold at auction, aud the
ieut5nant-Governor receives 81 for
each slave that is sold. Moreover, he
generally selects one or two for him
self out of each new cargo. This func-
tionary does not even know how to
sign his name, and the Gadi of the
same town deals in Gallas and Soudan-
csc as the most legitimate business in
the world.
All that the Turkish Government
does against this traffic is to give a
color of satisfaction to the European
powers. Lately Turkish war vessel
| seized two slavers with 100 negroes;
but this is after all only thin veil to
cover the acts which are going on
every day under the shelter of the
Ottoman flag.
About one thousand slaves are an
| nually sold al Hodcida, and the trade
is carried on at other points on a much

Mark Twain'S Ghost Story.

A few years ago the Band of Work
ers, or some other society connected
with Mr.. Twichel's church, gave
an entertainment, and Mark was re-
quested to tell a story. He consented
and large audience was the result.
When he mounted the platform he in
sisted that the gas be turned down
low, and the consequence was that
one could hardly see ones hand before
ones face. Up on the stage stood Mr..
Clemens, with strong light from
reflector shining full in his face, while
all the rest was darkness. He pre-
scented a weird spectacle, with his hair
standing up all over his head. In
deep, sepulchral voice he began, and
SAID that he would tell the tail of 1.-The
Golden Arm"
This tale tells how young girl had
an artificial arm made of gold; she
died and was buried, and her father
finally thought he would eXhume her
body and take the arm, that he might
sell it. Accordingly one dark, stormy
night, he set out on his mission. (All
this while Marks voice kept growing
deeper, and more sepulchraL) The
father dug up the body, obtained pos
session of the coveted arm, and started
back home. The wind was bowling,
the road was dark and gloomy, and
the guilty parent nervous and very
much frightened. Suddenly above the
mournful cry of the soughing wind
came a low, dismal wall, saying,
"Where's my golden arm? Where's
my golden arm?" and CHANGING over
his shoulder the terrified father saw
the ghost of his daughter. her good
arm gesticulating wildly, pursuing
him. He ran on home, and all the
while came the wall of the child cry
ing. where's my golden armP"
Up stairs he went, this cry still ring
ing in his ears. He undressed and
timidly crept into bed. Out on the
stairs, nearer, even nearer, he heard
the wall, and in terror listened to the
patter of advancing footsteps. Sud
denly the door was opened and the
ghostLv figure of his daughter adj
vanced, crying, where's my golden
arm?" The father, frightened almost
to insensibility, covered up his head
in the blankets. and the spook placed
her hand on the cOverlets and cried,
where's my golden arm?"
just at this moment Mark gave
jump, spread out his arms wildly, and
in a voice that could have been heard
in Massachusetts shrieked, ''In hook,
by lingo"
The effect of this was electrical.
From out the darkness of the audience
there came series of yells and groans,
and EXPLANATIONS of fright. Several
timid women began to cry hysterical-
ly, and two, | think, tainted away.
The room was in confusion, and when
the gas was turned up the worst lot
of frightened people in the United
States were revealed. | believe, at
meeting of the Band of Workers. held
short time afterwards, it was unani-
mously voted not to ask Mark Twain
to tell any more stories. Minneapolis

THE "6LUE.JEAN TRAMP"
A Connecticut Character Who Rivals tho
"Oid Leather Man"

During the debate in the house re-
Gently on the bill making it crime
for man TO become a tramp MIR. Ney
of Lebanon rose in opposition to the
measure and in the illustration of his
position alluded to poor unfortunate
in his vicinity known as The blue
Jean Tramp" 1t was merely a refer
ence. but it awakened in the mind of
the writer, saws the Hartford Times,
desire to know more of the story about
the man, and subsequent inquiry has
developed story as thrilling as any
that has oeen made public about the
"OId Leather Man"
There was no charity, no generosity,
in her nature. She would take the be-
longings of her brother and without
conjunction appropriate them to her
own use. Her brother, however, was
almost Numerically opposite; free
hearted and generous to fault were
the fundamental principles underly-
ing his nature. This wide divergence
of the two was the cause of much
trouble between them. She grew to
hate her brother with an unnatural
hatred, and he grew bitter and indif-
ferent, but was of too happy nature
to acquire the aspect of more than for
getfulnesS.
In this way they grew to manhood
and wOmanhood, and Jennie married
the man of her choice. Then the father
and mother died, leaving the two
children equal portions in the estate.
This CALLED the spirit of Jennie. Her
avariciOus nature could not be con-
with half Mt che wanted
whole. Then began scheme which
robbed her brother of three things
his intended wife, his money, and his
reason.
A year after the paren death
Dwight became eLamored # a pretty
miss named Ida Arnold. She had been
resident of the town but a short time
and she reciprocated mis- affection.
Now it happened that Dwight's sister
mad taken a violent dislike to Ida, and
with apparent friendship she whisper
ed cruel words into her promised sis
ter-in-law's ears. They bore fruit.
Suspicious as most women the vile
ISLANDERS grew to certainty, and she re-
nounced almost at the altar the man
she mad promised to love. Dwight,
COMPOUNDED and crazy. left the house.
Drink was the only solace for his sor-
row and into dissipation he plunged.
His sister without conjunction or
fear, then began a systematic method
to gain his wealth. His brain gradu-
ally softened under the influence of
alcohol. Returning one day to the
mouse of his sister with whom he had
lived, he was spurned from the house
without dollar in the world. What
little of Dwi gifts reason remained was
shattered and he left, homeless
man, without money or reason to sus-
tain life, and left to the tender mercies
of cruel world.
For years he tramped, going over
! and over the same route until now he
! has become a regular caller in Leban-
on, always wearing a "blue-jean"
| jumper. which has won for him the
s0briquet of the "blue-jean tramp"
No one fears him; every one pities him
and welcomes him to the tireside. Re-
tribution has Overtaken his sister. A
| few years ago she was thrown from
| har carrio ore and killed
