A Grotesque New Yorker.

The New York Star prints descrip-
ton of the most grotesque looking in.
dividual who walks the streets of New
York. Somebody has dubbed him ssthe
Fulton street dude" and his figure must
be familiar to all downtown people. He
has been away-goodness knows where
for the past several months, and turn.
ed up again only the other day. he
usually walks on Fulton street and Park
Row, but takes an occasional walk on the
Brooklyn Bridge in the afternoon. No
one can pass him by unnoticed. If one
is not attracted by his ballet-d dancer
step, one must be by his burlesque ap-
pearance.
He wears q very small, old-fashioned
silk hat, polished to the last degree of
nicely with stove backing. A piece Of
blue ribbon is pinned to collar which
is eternally rising up to his ears in the
back. The ribbon is adjusted as neck
tie in front. His hair is long, black
grey, and is waxed sitter than starch.
No one knows where he lives tr what he
does, and words of sympathy for him
are frequently expressed. He hardly
needs sympathy, though, as his bearing
indicates nothing but extreme content
ment and sel-importance, q happy form
of insanity, if he can live on it.

Queer Things About the Cello.

Queen Marguerite, of Italy, is one of
the best violoncello players of the day.
This noble instrument has an increasing
fascination for the fair lady musicians,
and the reason is not far off. The cello
is the most nearly human instrument,
because its range of tones comedies with
that OF the human voice. Its tones stir
the bosom more easily to sympathetic
romances. Its size and tension are near
~ the same as the size and tension of
the human bosom, and the vibration of
one body is most apt to thrill the other
just as that harpstring which is most
nearly In accord with another will vi
brate most easily with the air waves. It
is curious fact that cello players more
frequently observe than any others that
the strings of the instrument will speak
out quite loudly when the voice strikes
the tone of one of its strings. Sitting
alone In its corner or hanging in its
closet, the instrument often startles its
masters guests by suddenly adding
loud note to hearty laugh of some one
of them. And more laughable still, if
one gives his nose a resonant blow land
the humor of the actual fact will excuse
the mention of a disagreeable operation)
the cello will often take a spasmodic
mort itself, as if in sarcastic instruction
% its masters to learn to perform that
nasal cavatina in pianissimo tones

Bread of Water-Lily Seeds.

The seeds of various species of water
lilies form the food of thousands of
people in Asia and some parts of Amer
lea. The most important species for
this purpose are those belonging to the
genus 7rapa, which are known in India
as Singhara, in China as Ling, and gen
orally as water-chestnut The fruit of
the Irapa bicornis, which grows in the
lakes of China, is collected by women
and children who paddle about among
the plants in small circular boats re-
sembling wash-tubs. Other species are
grown in Cashmere, where the lakes
become so crowded with the plants that
navigation is made impossible, and the
Government derives fl2. 600 a year from
the taxes on the crop of single lake !;
and in India, where the cultivation is
Systematically carried on. The fruit
abounds in starch, which has the flavor
of chestnut, and may be eaten raw or
cooked. The dried nuts will keep for
many years. The meal may be made
into cakes or into porridge. If the
kernels are soaked over night in cold
water, they will be ready in the morn
ing to be boiled or steamed into food.
The seeds of the lotus (Nelum6o) were
much used as food in ancient Egypt,
but seem to be neglected now. The
tuberous roots resemble the sweet po-
tato and are starchy. The root-stalks
when boiled are farinaceous and agree
able, and those of the American species
are employed as food by Western In
dams. The seeds of the lotus, in India,
are eaten raw when green, and roasted
or boiled when ripe and hard. The
root, which is two or three feet long, is
eaten, boiled, as vegetable. The
Klamath Indians live chiefly on the
tookor, or seeds of the yellow water-lily
Nuphar lutea). The capsules are broken,
and the seeds are separated from their
husks.-[P Popular Science Monthly.

The Future of Electricity.

1t would be quite impossible to fore
cast the future, even for single decade,
with reference to the applications of
electricity, even though discovery were
ended. The mere expansion of indus
tries already N some degree established
will give them an importance which we
cannot now estimate. But discovery is
not ended, and it is more than probable
that results will yet be reached which,
although they cannot be at variance
with the general doctrine of energy Is
now understood, may, to some extent,
revolutionize our methods, with CORE
spending advantages. IScribner.

Chat.

This has been a very quiet week in
Custer. The foot of snow" which was
reported in our last issue, followed by
the coolest weather of the winter. has
had a tendency to keep many away, who
would otherwise have visited the place.
The volume Of business transacted has
been trifiing in comparison to what has
been the rule in the past, and as a conse-
quence more time has been devoted to
innocent pastimes, such a chess and
checkers. than during any week of the
winter. The dullness of the period,
however, did not afford us an opportun-
ity to indulge to a greater extent than
usual in the various pastimes which
served to make life more tolerable to
the average citizen, but on the contrary,
it occassioned a more ~resolute and de-
termined rustic to possess ourselves Of
passing events which did not pass. 1t
is nice to be an editor in a small town
under such circumstances at any rate
1t was SO suggested to us by a citizen
yesterday. who declared it to be his
honest opinion that we had the smooth
est winter position in this place. We
did not dare to dispute a gentleman who
had passed his n!tieth mile post, and
gwen the subject so much attention as
he had, and we could therefore only call
his attention to some Of the special
beauties which cluster around the every
day life Of an average editor in a coun-
try town. We tried to impress him
with the unsullied delight which the
receipt Of an ordinary death notice
would induce in times like these; Of the
supreme felicity enjoyed in running
down a marriage to find that SO
rash an act vas never intended by the
parties suspected. We called his atten-
ton to the undiluted JOY accompanying
the futile effort to awaken q slumbering
community to the Importance Of guard
ing against the possible loss Of much of
Clusters trade, on account of the almost
impossible character ofcertain thorough
fares leading to important trading points
We referred with much ardor to the
measure of fruition resulting from a
prolonged, but fruitless effort to impress
our local readers with the importance of
the establishment of a Touring mill in
Custer. We expatiated at length upon
the tranquil and enjoyable emotions
which we sometimes experience when
our life is threatened for putting truth
of a personal character i'm cold type.
We called his special attention to the
~parOxysmal pleasure derived from the
criticisms of those among us who know
so much more than we do about Iun-
ming a newspaper; and was about to
apprise him of the solid salts action we
occasionally enjoy in the delightfully."-
absorbing but not always successful
struggle with the practical problem as
to how a four dollar sack of -four can be
comprised with a two dollar greenback,
when he was suddenly reminded of his
being four years delinquent on his sub
scription, and that he had urgent bust
ness up town, whereupon he smole an
%incredulous smile and departed, doubt
less wondering how it was possible for
us to bask so extravagantly in the joys
of life without mourning the risk of
mental alteration.
