Oriental Justice.

Dr. Henry M. Scudder relates a case of Oriental justice that could hard ly be outdone for sharp and subtle discriminations. Four men, partners in business, bought some cotton bales. That the rats might not destroy the cotton, they purchased a cat. They agreed that each of the four should own 8 particular leg of the cat; and each adorned with beads and other ornaments the leg thus apportioned to him. The cat, by an accident, injured one of it's legs. The owner of that member wound about it rag soaked in oil. The cat, going too near the fire, set the rag on fire, and, being in great pain, rushed in among the cotton bales where she was accustomed to hunt rats. The cotton thereby took fire and was burned. It was a total loss. The three other partners brought an action to recover the value of the cotton against the fourth partner who owned the particular leg of the cat. The judge examined the case and de- cided thus: "The leg that had the oil- rag on it was hurt; the cat could not use that leg-in fact, it held up that leg and ran with the other three legs. The three unhurt legs therefore car- ried the fire to the cotton, and are alone culpable. The injured leg is not to be blamed. The three partners who owned the three legs with which the cat ran to the cotton will pay the whole value of the bales to the partner who was the proprietor of the injured leg"

he. She is Emile Grob, the 16-year- old daughter of the army bugler, and a pet of the Grand Army men. For several years, when her fathers Grand Army post marched to Farragut's grave on Decoration Day, Emile decked in handsome sailor suit and carrying g bugle was dragged in triumph ill 8 military wagon at the head of the pro- cession, and blew the impressive notes of "taps" over the famous Admiral's grave. @
 Every day at noon for years she made the air ring with bugle call that summoned the workers on the docks to their midday meal at Grob's inn. Nowadays, however, Emile has given up bugle playing and has her thoughts on more romantic things.
 s'I want to get married, mamma" she said, and tossed the brass instru- ment aside for good. So Larry now blows the call for dinner himself, and Emile is working to lay up something for that happy day she is dreaming of.
 Larry has an American flag 36 feet long that covers the entire front of his house when it is hung from the roof. That flag, he says, will float proudly from the flagstaff on the roof when Emile wins husband.

Fooled the Grocer.

A schoolboy in England hit upon 6 novel method of obtaining the answer to an arithmetical problem. He dropped into a grocer's shop on his way to school, and said he wanted certain commodities at certain prices. After exhausting his list, he said: "Now, if I give you half sovereign, what change shall get back?" The grocer told him, whereupon he thanked the shopman and turned to go. "Wait for the things" called the grocer; and his disgust can be imagined when the ingenious urchin told him he was too late for school, and, as he hadn't learned his arithmetic lesson, he had adopted that method of getting the sum worked for him.

l, ,ooo, ,0o0 POSTAGE STAMP MYTH.
Origin of an Idea That Has Bothered
 Many Hundreds of Good People.

Origin of an Idea That Has Bothered
 Many Hundreds of Good People.
 Now and then some one announces himself as the victi m of the million postage stamp hoax. It is firmly be- lieved that if 1000, ,O00 stamps are col lected and forwarded to some one, bed will be provided for an invalid bey in some hospital, or home for an orphan. Christian churches have been the special victims, and there is hardly one in England, the United States, Australia, India, or in any other country, that has not had several members begging, borrowing and even stealing postage stamps in order to make up the million that will go to clothe and feed some orphan.
 This swindle originated in the fertile brain of a postage-stamp collector at Stettin, Germany. He desired to get vast collections to sort out and sell again, and hit upon plan to set the whole civilized world to go to work for him free of charge. He preyed on the sympathies of people by announcing .sthat an orphan would be cared for in the Syrian Orphan Home" for every 100000 stamps sent to him. This worked well; and the next dodge was the starting of mythical mission in China, the Holy Sisters of which agreed, for every million of stamps sent them, to save from the jaws of the crocodiles of the Yellow River at least one Chinese baby, and then edu- cate and christianize it.
 The stamps were to be sent, not to Jerusalem or China, but to Munich or Stettin. The last claim on the sympa- thy of the world that has been made by this German is that for 100000 stamps home for an old lady or an old gentleman will be provided in one of three homes-one in London, another in New York, and the third in Cincin- nati. For SOC, 1000 stamps bed will be endowed in a hospital, and for 100000 home will be found for an orphan for one year. There are agen- cies ill various cities to forward stamps to Stettin. It is estimated that this swindler has collected over 100,000,00O stamps in the United States alone, and that these were worth from $500, ,OOO to three times that amount.

FEATHERED ARCHITECTS.
Wonderful Homes Some Birds Build
 for Themselves.

Wonderful Homes Some Birds Build for Themselves.
 Among the curiosities of nature there are none better worthy of study than the nests of birds. The skill dis played by these little architects is sim ply wonderful, and one is lost in wonder at the knowledge, patience and perseverance of these feathered builders. Especially is this the case of pensile birds, that suspend their habitations on branches, sometimes even hanging them over the water.
 The weaver bird, which embraces several varieties, is one of the most ingenious of the pensile birds. It generally hangs it's nest on twig over the water, and so low down that if a monkey attempts to steal the eggs, which it is apt to do, the twig bends with its weight, and cold bath is the consequence. The mahali weaver bird of South Africa is very small bird with an ambition to live in a very large house, and industry enough to build it itself. The shape of the nest is similar to an oil flask, but, of course, greatly magnificd in dimensions, and very rough on the outside.
 The sociable weaver birds unite their efforts and make a kind of Q matched roof, under which, or rather in which they build their nests. Some times this structure is ten feet square. Each nest is shut out from every other, although all are under the same roof, and while the whole com- munity join in building the roof, each pair builds its own nest. The con- mencement is interwoven with the branches of the trees, the whole struc- ture being very neat and compact.
 The palm swift of Jamaca, so called from its rapid flight, builds curi- ous nest which hangs to spathe of luC COCOdluO pdlu. 4uC CACCl1OI 4O of cotton and the interior of feathers, the walls being very strong and com pact. Sometimes it builds several nests and glues them together, leaving an opening between them like gallery.
 The lanceolate honey-eater builds a nest in the shape of a hammock, and suspends it by the ends to small twig. It is made of grass and wool mixed with the down of certain flowers. This nest is very deep and comfortable and may probably have suggested to man the hammock.
 The tailor bird, which is native of India, is quite expert in sewing. It makes long nest of leaves, which it sews together with the fibre of plant, first piercing holes in them with it's beak. In the hollow formed it depos- it's a quantity of cotton, thus preparing a soft, warm nest for it's young.

necessary by Trevethick for friction, thus "paving the way for Stephenson" as Smiles puts it. Stephenson used to walk over to Wylam nearly every day to inspect the Trevethick engine, and there it was, after seeing it, that Ste- phenson exclaimed that he "could make better engine than that" His "Blucher," on first trial at Killing worth July %, 1874, proved of doubt full value because of the even balance presented by it between economy of horse and steam power. Then he took up Trevethick's use of the steam blast in the smokestack, and, as Smiles says, s.thus doubled the power of his en- gine." He had solved the problem. Trevethick allowed his patent to expire, and Stephenson appropriated" the glory and sequence.
 The struggle between Bessemer and Kelley as to priority of invention of the patent steel-making process asso- ciated with the name of the former is we'll known. Before Bessemer's time a patent had been taken out for the use of spiegeleisen in steel manufac- ture, but the patentee did not have the necessary f50 to pay for the renewal of his patent, and this left the field clear for Bessemer. And although Kelly was successful in his litigation on the ground that Bessemel did not have sole rights, he is never mentioned in connection with this process of man. ufacture so beneficial to transportation interests.
 The contests between Jackson and Morton, with mutual recriminations on the part of themselves or their re- spective adherents, as to priority of the discovery of the use of an@sthetics in surgery, is still fresh in the public mind. Yet Rev. B. K. Pierce, ill his ssTrials of an Inventor' (Goodyear) gives the credit to Dr. Wells of Hart ford, who applied the discovery to dentistry, and the claims of Wells appear to rest on ssindependent dis coyery."

The heavy weight had come down across his back, and he had been so badly hurt that he could hardly move. When we removed him we sent for doctor, and he was told that he could not live till morning. He asked us to send for sheriff, and made startling confession. He gave away the names and residences of a score of agents, told the officer where to find fifteen or twenty stolen horses, and made com plete exposure of the whole business. Our horses, had he got them, were to have been sent to New York or Bos- ton. He died about five o'clock next morning.

"Did you ever have 8 painter in your employ who was hustler?" was asked of the head of a house painting firm the other day.
 "I had one once who hustled for 8 few minutes that know off," was the reply after deep thought.
 "What was the cause?"
 "He was painting g cornice on a house on Winder street when he struck a nest of 400 hornets. I was looking at him. He hustled. He did more hustling in five minutes than all the rest of my gang combined"

It's Mother Was in the Baggage Car.

It's Mother Was in the Baggage Car.
 It was on 8 Pennsylvania Railroad train, coming north from Washington. All the passengers but two in the sleep CT had dozed off. The exceptions were young man and baby. The former was willing to follow the ex- ample of the majority, but the latter objected in 8 loud voice. It's cries awoke the other passengers, and some pretty strong language was heard. The young man got out of his berth and carried the baby up and down the car, trying to soothe it. But the baby was ailing and fretful, and its voice would not be stilled. Finally gray-headed man, who was evidently an old travel Ter, stuck his head out from behind the curtains and called to the young man in rather sharp voice:
 "See here, sir, why don't you take that child to it's mother. She will be able to manage it much better than you. It evidently wants its mother"
 "Yes, that's it," echoed half dozen other irritated passengers.
 The young man continued to pace up and down for a moment, then said ill quiet, strained voice:
 "Its mother is in the baggage car."
 There was an instantaneous hush for a moment. Presently the gray-headed man stuck his head out into the aisle again.
 ssLet me take it for awhile," he said, softly, "perhaps can quiet it."

A DRIED.APPLE SYNDICATE.

Rochester Capitalists Whom This
 Years Poor Apple Crop Will Enrich.
 Among the happiest persons in vest ern New York this fall are three or four Rochester capitalists. Last year the apple crop of western and central New York was enormous, and apple growing is the chief pursuit of large proportion of the farmers of Wayne, Wyoming, Monroe, Orleans, Cattarau- gus, and Chautauqua counties. The crop was so large last year that farm CTS could not secure barrels enough to pack it in. When they had flooded the home and foreign markets with their products at low price they were glad to dispose of thousands and thousands of bushels to the numerous fruit evapo- rating companies of western New York for ten cents bushel. This great stock of choice fruit set not less than 400 of these establishments going. There were 15O in Wayne county alone. This season the apple crop is not only practically failure as to quantity, but the quality is very poor. The demand for apples has been large, and the farmers have been able to sell their stock, inferior as it is in general, for 50 cents bushel. The conse- quence has been that the evaporating companies have been unable to obtain fruit for their purposes, and not more than fifty out of the hundreds that were in operation last year will be able to keep going. It is estimated that where twenty tons of apples were evaporated last year not more than one will be this season. ,-..---. .
 The immense quantity of apples that were dried last season caused an over stocked market, and it occurred to the Rochester capitalists referred to that it might be profitable speculation to buy up all the stock of the evaporat- Ing companies and hold them for fu- ture use. They succeeded in doing this effectually, their purchases of dried apples amounting to tens of thousands of tons, for which they paid $1oo,0OO, a very low figure. They placed this immense stock of dried apples in cold storage and awaited developments.
 The dried apple market is now. about exhausted, and there will be compara- lively nothing from this years supply of the New York evaporating compan- ies to draw from. The consequence is that the Rochester dried apple syndi- cate will be able to have great deal to say about what the price of dried apples shall be this season, and expect to clear good deal more than double the amount of their investment.
