PeonIe Who Fret.

One of the most striking examples Of this
large class of unfortunate beings is the great
Carlyle-the man of noble heart and a strong
mind, capable of grasping great subjects and
giving wise words of admonition regarding
them, and yet so difficult to live with COM
fortably, because he was easily disturbed by
trifes and gave free vent to an oral express
sion of the annoyances he felt
There is touch of the ridiculous, but much
more that is pathetic, in the story of Carlyle's
behavior on his return home after an absence,
during which his loved Jennie QMrs. CARLYLE
worked with loving industry to make her
husbands home coming an especially happy
one. The study was made immediately neat,
the new furniture arranged in the most pleas
ing order, and dainty touch given here and
there to make all home like. The task COM
pleted. Mrs. Carlyle awaited in happy ex-
nectancy the return of the master of the
house.
What did Carlyle do to show his apprecia,
ton of this loving service so willingly rem
dereda Did he express his satisfaction in
words, or even by a look of pleased sprprisel
Not he. Surveying the room with critical
ewes he walked to window, discovered that
the sash ratified, and vented his displeasurein
unmistakable language. This one small flaw
blinded him to all the rest Of the order and
pleasant arrangement Of the room. Evening

Imhadded Bats.

A living bat, imbedded in solid rock, was
found on the premises of W. V. Herriott,
near Romney, W. Va, by Mr.. Herriott and
Charles Corbin, who were quarrying the
rock. There were several other witnesses to
this remarkable discovery The hole in the
stone, which was in the center. was quite
small, and the bats body just filled it. The
bat subsequently died by being kept too near
q warm stove. Something similar to this
happened in the mine of the Swanton COM
pany at Barton, Nd, several years ago
Anthony Rehs, a miner, while driving his
pick into the solid breast of coal dislodged
from little pocket live bat. He took 1T
home with him and it died in few days, It
was afterward stuffed, and is now in Mr..
Rehs' possession, Archibald Mcdonald, at
that time superintendent of the mine, had a
plaster cast taken of the cavity in the coal,
and it correspondent exactly to the shape of a
bat. The place where the bat was found was
about a mile from the mouth of the mine,
and was vertically about 200 feet from the
surface Of the ground. Baltimore Sun,

He HalI Tried It.

On Burrard inlet in British Columbia,
dwells a logging camp boss, known fa- and
wide by the name Of Lev. He is q hunter of
some Importance, and a rifle shot of more
than ordinary skill One rainy day Lev took
his gun and sailed forth for deer hunt, but
was overtaken by darkness while a long way
from camp, and forced to remain in the woods
all night. On searching his pockets he found
he was without matches The logging crew
blew horns, fired guns, etc., to guide him
home, but without avail. Morning returned,
and Lev made his way home just as the crew
were turning out for breakfast. Hungry, wet
and tired, he sat down in front Of the big
camp fire, rested his face on his hands, his
hands on his knees, looked vacantly at the
blaze, and for about ten minutes appeared lost
in contemplation He then spoke: "Boys,
did you ever hear of a person making fire
by rubbing two sticks together?" "Oh, yes"
replied several; ''easy enough to do. Com
mon thing" etc. Lev waited patiently till
they all got through, and then exclaimed:
SIT may be easy enough to do, and, perhaps,
has been done, but Ill be eaten alive if any
body ever did it in one night. San Fran

A little picture haunts me:
1t comes, and comes again;
1t is tiny birds nest,
All ragged from the rain.
It clings within birch tree,
Upon the moorland's edge;
Between the barren branches,
Above the swaying sedge-
The sky is gray behind it,
And when the north winds blow
The birch tree bends and shivers,
And losses to and fro.
I wonder, does it haunt them,
The birds that flew awayf
And will they come to seek it,
Some sunny summer dayf
Iwonder does some redbreast
Upon an orange bough,

Poisonous Poultry.

"Here you are Eight cents a pound"
cried fifty or more men in long WOODEN
frocks, as I pressed my way through the
crowd which blocked up the sidewalk around
Washington market on Saturday afternoon.
The stalls along the Washington and Vesey
street sides of the market contained tons OF
poultry, and motley crowd Of women and
men were pushing and pulling each other in
the scramble to get what was being sold at
eight cents pound.
Turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks were
going off like hot cakes, and almost for
song. The crowd who were buying up this
"bargain" in poultry was composed chiefly OF
women who wore shawls and carried large
market baskets on their arms Beside these
were a class of women whose appearance in
Dictated that they were the landladies of sec
ond and third rate boarding houses. The men
who formed part of this rushing, eager
throng wore the garb of laborers, and their
hands bore the evidence ofa hard days toll.
What kind of poultry were these people
buying for their Sunday dinner at eight
cents pounds some will ask who are accus-
toned to being charged from twelve to fifteen
cents pound for chickens, and from sixteen
to twenty-five cents for turkeys, ducks and
geese.
They were buying poultry that had been
shipped but delayed on the road, and when it
reached the commission merchants was
heated, and when exposed to the air turned
green The commission merchant must dis
pose of this class of goods at once, so he noti-
fes these men who handle this class of poultry
on the outside stalls of the large markets and
the dealers throughout the city, and they
respond promptly to the summons, for it is
the only class of poultry they deal in.
These dealers purchase in large quantities
and doctor up this already unfit to eat poul-
try, and can afford to sell it for eight cents q
pound and make a fair profit at that How
do they do ita They soak it in ice water for
twenty-four hours, dry it, hang it up in their
stalls, and sell it for fresh poultry to the
throng of people have described. Some of
these people buy this poisonous food, believ-
ing it to be just what the dealer declares it to
be, while others buy with full knowledge of
the quality, and visit the markets for the ex-
press purpose of buying it, as they have done
hundreds of times before. This same class Of
people buy tainted meats and simply for the
reason that they are cheap.-New York
