over to the other side of the street and limo.
Gently strolled up the block. In another
moment they again passed the basket, and
again rewarded themselves with another
clam. Six times did the gamins pass the
basket, and not once did they miss their prize.
A policeman lounged OH the opposite of the
street i'll full view of the p%iratical expeditions

probably having come to the conclusion that
honesty was the best policy, turned his clans
over to his partner and disappeared in a

Muske,s and l.ayon.ts in u Tree.

One night, long since, IL. I. Huff, a
well known coal dealer of Atlanta, while
cutting down a bee tree on his farm, five
miles from Atlanta, on the Sandtown
road, made a strange discovery. The
bees wero in a hollow tree, and Felix
Jackson (colorcd) was put to work with
all ak to hew it down. "Lawda mercy,"
exclaimed the negro, as he dropped his
az and peered into the opening lie had
made by the light of a torch. The negro
had discovered an arsenal whose nipple
ments of war were like the gun of Rip
Van Wrinkle after his sleep of twenty
years. In the hollow tree were eight old
army muskets and two b%ayonets, which
had been stored away by soldiers twenty
five years ago. The stocks Of the guns
had nearly rotted away and the barrels
were rusted, The tree had grown about
IL of the bayonets and made it imlnova-

Madc His Fortune on a s;nr,. c,,~,.

possession of the island and was afraid to

troops unde: command of the renowned

he landed, and, furnished with al escort hv

leader. This parsonage upon being told that
n messenger with IL letter from tho president
of the United States desired an interview
with him, readily accorded it. and the result
of the interview was that the lumber was tx.
changed for M equal quantity of coffee,

Wnsll Your Hands.

Cases of infection that could be &C.
counted for in no other way have been
explained by the fingers as a vehicle. In
handling money, especially of paper,
door knobs, banisters, car straps and a
hundred other things that every one
must frequently touch there are chances
lnnumerable of picking up germs of
typhoid, scarlatina, liphtheria, smallpox,
etc Yet some persons actually put such
things in their mouths, if not too large!
Before eating, or touching that which is
to be eaten, the hands should be imme-
diateiy and scrupulously washed. We
hear much about general cleanliness as
next to godlincss." 1t may be added
that here, in particular, it is also ahead

United States Consul Griffin, stationed at
Sydney, N. S. W., tells of n remarkable Gus
tom of the inhabitants of New Britain. as
follows: 1.-The inhabitants, it is said by Wal
lace, have n peculiar custom of confirming
their girls in cages until they are old enough
to be married. This custom is said to be pc
culiar to the people of New Britain. The
cages arc made of the palm tree, and the girls
are put into them when 2 or 3 years of age.
The Rev. George Brown established a IVES
lnyan mission i'll New Britain i'll 1876, and |
learn from him that these cages are built in
side of the houses, and that the girls are
never allowed to cave the house under. any
circumstances The houses are closely fenced
i'll with Il sort OF wicker work made of reeds.
Ventilation under the circumstances is rem
dercd difficult. Tho girls are said to grow up
strong and healthful i'll spite of these disad-
vantages."-New York Telegram.

Tho entire absence Of sanitary arrange
ments in Chinese towns and villages
being well known, it goes without saving
that the laws of hygiene arc utterly and
entirely neglected. There is no isolation
OF infectious diseases, and no attention.
paid to causes of death unless there is
supposition Of violence. According to
our ideas, therefore, Chinese cities ought
TO be hotbeds of disease, subjected regu-
larly TO terrible cpidemics which, with
US, are invariably associated with the
neglect Of sanitary laws. Strange to say
such is not the case. Epidemics come
and 30 without any apparent reason, ap-
pearing. perhaps, suddenly, causing a
heavy mortality for a short time, and
then as suddenly disappearing again,
thus affording an endless field Of specu-
lation TO the foreign savalt. But, speak
ing generally, Chinese towns enjoy an
immunity from these dangerous out
breaks almost as complete as that of we'll
drained European communities, and the
cause of this puzzling and curious phe-
nomenon has been variously explained.
The fact is all the more striking when
taken in connection with the contamin-
ated water supplies of Chinese towns, the
effect of which on Europeans has been
manifested over and over again in the

Don't FORGET Your Opera G;lasses.

In connection with the Portland we'd
ding presents, a not unamusing story was
current in London. A well known and
popular gentleman, on arriving at his
club from the theatre, discovered that
he had unwittinyly annexed a pair of
costly opera glasses in Il dainty blue vel
vet case. He at once instructed the hall
porter to restore them to the owner, who
resided at a certain number in Grosvenor
crescent. The servant, however, left
them by mistake at the same number in
Grosvenor place, where they were re-
garded in the light of Il very handsome
and most appropriate wedding present.
Tho owner became uneasy, but the por-
fer vas sure he had made no mistake,
and the mystery remained unsolvcd un-
Til the lady in question accidentally saw
her glasses on the ledge of an opera box
