Eastern Beggars,

Beggary throughout the East is a
thriving profession. There are guilds
OF beggars, besides the numerous
communities of dervishes who are
semi-religious mendicants. Many
families have been beggars for gener-
ations, and are mendicants from
choice. Some of these professional
beggars are actually wealthy. Four
and-twenty years ago the writer we'll
remembers case. The Chief Beggar
(the title was not conferred in de-
rision) gave his daughter in marriage
to a substantial farmer. The girls
doWry consisted of two freehold
houses, the rooms OF which were en-
tirely filled with dry pieces of bread,
and the sales of these begged erusts
subsequently realized a considerable
sum, being disposed of as food for
cattle. It must be remembered that
in the East there is no organized
charity, that most Mussulmans are
exceedingly charitable, many giving
away a fifth and some even a third
of their income. Under such circum-
stances it is not to be wondered at
that the professional beggar thrives,

He bellies, however, that he has the
making of an athlete in him, and
when he received his physicians in
sUructions he resolve to bring it out.
So he had a horizontal bar erected in
the back yard OF the house, and up
on this he practiced daily. His
principal feat was to grab the smooth
bar with both hands and swing
around with great rapidity. One
night last week the young mans
mother was awakened by thenosie Of
a door closing. She arose and tip
toed toward the back part of the
house. Looking out of the window
she saw her son, clad in his night
gown, revolving on the horizontal
bar with lightning rapidity. Amaz-
ed at the spectacle of the gyrat-
ing son and his Tapping night gar
ment she aroused his father and told
him about it. The old gentleman
arose, donned his pants and went to
the rescue. When he succeeded in
stopping the revolutions ofthe flying
boy he learned that he was asleep
and that he had posed as asomnam-
bulist athlete. He awoke him with
some difficulty and led him back to
his bed. Now the young man has

OxidiZed Hair.

Ladies, it would seem, no longer
dye their hair. O, dear no! They
never think of doing anything so
crude as that. What they do now,
if you please, when they wish to
give to their locks that bright
golden or bronzy tint which is so
fashionable, is to so1idize it." I am
sure the fair sex will thank their
faithful friend "Myra" for teaching
them that convenient term. Hair
dye will, of course, never be men,
toned more, for all lady who
wishes her hair to be safely and
imperceptibly lightened and brigh-
tened" Ito use Myria's own comfort
forting words is to oxidize it with
the aid of pure peroxide of hydro
gen. Even the most punctilious of
ladies; who shudders at the notion
of dyeing her hair, can hardly OBJ
ject to peroxide of hydrogenize"
it. Why, itsounds as innocent and
as proper as taking a chamomile pill
or rubbing ones ankles with arnica.

The Home of the Earthquake,

Although earthquakes are common
in Japan they are seldom violent.
AS many as eighty-seven vibrations
have been noted in a single day. A
month seldom passes without shocks
in some part of the country, but they
attract little attention. There are,
however, authentic records of several
severe and destructive earthquakes.
In 679 A. D. the island OF Kiu-Siu
was visited by a heavy shock, which
rent the earth in assures, one ofwhich
is said to have been four miles long
and twenty feet wide. Kiu-Siu was
the scene of the recent calamity, and
it is noticeable that the same phen-
omenon of the opening OF the earth
occurred in this instance. Kiu-Siu is
far less subject to frequent shocks
than the main island of Niphon, but
they seem to make up for their in
frequency by Their severity. In17O2
the walls of the castle of Yedo were
thrown down and a great tidal wave
accompanied the CONFUSION of the
earth. In 1854 the towns of Shimoda
and Osaka were destroyed, and in
the following year $4,000 dwellings,
and 1900 storehouses were pros
trated in Yedo.-San Francisco

Glover, with bran slop at night, is
the best food for a brood SOW in
summer.
Many farmers are Of the opinion
that old wheat is the best for seed.
In abiding to the matter, which is
just now a very timely topic for dis
'cussion, an Eastern writer thinks
there is no doubt that wheat seed re-
tains it's vitality under favorable
conditions many years, but the rea-
son why a years addition to the age
OF wheat makes it better for seed is
undoubtedly it's greater dryness and
hardness. This is especially true
after q damp Summer and harvest
like that just passed. If new wheat
must be sown make it as dry as pos
sible. It may be even advisable, aft
er getting it dried out as much as
you can otherwise, to place it thinly
for a few hours in a kiln at a heat OF
not more than 1902. The more
moisture that can be got out of the
seed without injuring vitality, the
more it will swell when placed in
moist soil, and the growth will be all
the more vigorous.

Sailors Wouldn't Sail with the Bride.
Atlanta Constitution.
In November last the Norwegian
bark Kate Barnie lay at the Bruins
wick wharf taking naval stores for
Rotterdam. While there the com
mander, Capt. L. Lowarsen, was mar
ried to a Brunswick lady, Miss Cor
nell. An annoying feature of the
marriage was that it caused the Cap
tain olose every mem Der of his crew,
who deserted, saying it was bad luck
to bring a bride on shipboard. An
other crew was gotten, and Capt.
Lowarsen sailed for Rotterdam. The
ill-luck feared by the sailors seemed
indeed to follow them, for on the
voyage the vessel was wrecked and
abandoned. Her commander and his
bride, together with the crew, were
picked up and carried to New York
by a passenger vessel. Capt. Lowar-
sen now tonnd himself without a YES
sci, and with young bride to claim
his attention, and as the quickest
way to solve the dilemma, Mrs. Low
ARISEN returned to her fathers house
in Brunswick to await the smiling OF
fortune again upon her husband.
Lowarsen crossed the water to his
old home in Norway, believing that
there he would be able to secure an.
other vessel. His quest has been sue
cessful, and news now comes that he
is in command of the Norwegian iron
ship City of Agra, purchased by him
recently in Grinsby, England, for
$3O, 900, her owners being Mr.. Olsen,
OF Parsgraud, Norway, and others.
