Bugs in Cigars.

No matter how numerous bugs and
reaches may be, they never injure to-
bacco or cigars. Sometimes, when
the doors are opened and there is a
strong light, they will be tempted in
side, but they will never tackle tobacco
in any form, and even the common fly
seems to hold the weed in very heal
thy awe. There is, of course, one in
sect which is very destructful to to-
bacco, and is called the tobacco worm.
There is another and smaller insect
which is not described in any work /
have read, .but which plays havoc with
tobacco. This is so small that few
people can detect il with the naked
eye. Where it comes from L don't
know, but it is generally found in inn
ported cigars, if anywhere.
The little creatures will eat small
hole right through three-for-a-dollar
Havana, and dealers examine their inn
portations very closely before storing
them away. English dealers have, [
think, little advantage over Ameri-
cans in respect to this Their buyers
are methodical in their examinations,
and that is probably why imported CT

Much Lost.

A neat proverb advises you tc
Pocket your watch, and watch your
poclIet;" and lagos famous "Put
money in thy purse" needs an adj
dition, telling us how to keep the
purse. A Florida paper mentions one
that had a faculty for getting lost
equal to That of any umbrella.
1t contained one hundred dollars
and was owned by one Cummins, who
dropped it while returning to New
Smyrna from Daytona. He did not dis
cover his loss until he reached town
when he Immediately started back tc
look for it, but, owing to the darkness
he did not find it, and went as far as
Port Orange.
In the morning he started toward
Daytona, and was fortunate enough
to find the purse lying by the roadside
near Suttons creek. He put it into
his pocket, and on his arrival in town,
discovered that it was once more gone.
He again started in quest of it, and
was lucky erough to find it near
Rolfe's house. His wife, who accom-.
panied him, tied the halter around il
and tied it to the buggy seat, and they
finally got it home safe.-Youth's

"Tipping."

Humility is one of the marked char
acteristics of British serving people.
Nothing is more amazing to the
American than the hauteur and AFRO
gance Of typical London man, or
very sharp in the English metropolis,
when dealing with people who serve
him.
He says, please do this" and I'll
thank you for that" because it's the
jargon of the town; but his politeness
is put forth with such an indescrib-
ably arrogant air that it is scarcely
less offensive than slap in the face.
1t is accepted everywhere with the in
evitable "Thank you, SIR"
The old story is still told of the
Yankee who stood on the stern of the
steamer as she swung out of Liverpool,
and, holding a shilling aloft, cried
out:
IF there's man, woman or child
on this blessed island I've not tipped,
come forward now, for this is your
last and only chanceW
remember very well an experience
1 had on my first day in London. l
started out with typical London man
to lunch at his club, and we stopped
at druggist's-or chemists, as they
say in England, with the CHI pro-
nounced softly-to make some pur-
chases. My companion bought few
shillings' worth of one thing and an
other, and when his change was
brought to him he pushed two coppers
toward the druggist, and said care
lessly:
''Heah, you take these"
The druggist picked them up with a
grateful smile, and muttered, "Thank
you very much, SIR"
1t was fine, large shop on the cor
ner below Bond street on Piccadilly,
and the druggist was a handsome, full
bearded, and perfectly dressed man of
about 60 years. Fancy making the

Richard PIantagenct.

Richard l of England, who was
born about the middle of the Twelfth
century, was a ruler of great muscu-
lar strength. His valor and prowess
have been praised by all commentators
on the lives of English kings. Thou
sands of readers, no doubt, remember
how he endorsed the burly champion
Of Isaac of Cypress and hurled him
with such force against the ground as
to break almost every bone in his
body. On another occasion when he
was the prisoner of Henry vi, in the
castle of Tyrol, an insolent son of the
jailer challenged him to boxing
match.
The first blow, which was sting
ing one, enraged the imprisoned mon
arch to that degree that he forgot his
prodigious strength and struck his as
sailant with vengeance. The blow
killed the young man as dead as a
bolt of lightning would have done. 1t
broke his neck in two places and shat
tered the skull as if it had been an
egg shell.-John w. Wright in St.

To Politicians.

The sailors are quarreling with one
another about the steering; every one
is of the opinion that he ought TO
steer, though he has never learned and
cannot tell who taught him, and will
even assert that the art of navigation
cannot be taught and is ready to cut
in pieces him who says to the con,
trary. They throng about the noble
captain and do all they can to make
him commit the helm to them, and,
having first chained up his senses with
drink or some narcotic drug mutiny

make themselves at home with the
stores; and thus. eating and drinking,
they continue their voyage with such
success as might be expected of them.

tention to the year and seasons and
sky and stars and wind and whatever
else belongs TO his art if he intends TO
be really qualified for the command
of ship, and they think that
to combine the exercise of command
with the steerers art is impossible. In

and among sailors of this class, how

Eastern Beggars.

Beggary throughout the east is a
thriving profession. There are guilds
of beggars, besides the numerous COM
munities of dervishes, who are semi
religious mendicants. Many families
have been beggars for generations,
and are mendicants from choice. Some
of these professional beggars are actu-
ally wealthy. Four-and-twenty years
ago the writer well remembers a case
The Chief Beggar the> title was not
conferred in derision) gave his daugh-
ter in marriage to substantial farmer
The girls dowry consisted of two free
hold houses, the rooms of which were
entirely filled with dry pieces of bread,
and the sale of these begged crusts
subsequently realized a considerable
sum, being disposed of as food for cat
tie. 1t must be remembered that in
the east there is no organized charity,
that most Mussulmans are exceedingly
charitable, many giving away fifth
and some evena third of their income.
Under such circumstances it is not to
be wondered at that the professional
beggar thrives. -Good Words.

An Eagles Attack on a Boas.

Our senior editor, "Old Nat" spent
several days during the past week on
the sea coast with his family, where
he met Mr. Louis Demilly, Mr.. Bailey
Mathis and Willie Walker. These
gentlemen met with singular adven-
ture, which, perhaps, will not occur
again in the next decade. While out
in the bay fishing one day they espied
large gray eagle flying directly to-
ward them. Not thinking that the
national queen" would condescend
to make war on her humble subjects,
they quietly continued to throw out
their lines, but surprises never cease.
Just as it reached the boat in which
they were fishing it took an upward
fight for goodly distance, when all
at once down it came with q tremen-
dous swoop, striking at Mr.. Demilly,
who sat in the bow of the boat, miss
ing his head only by hairs breadth.
It made several other attacks, but was
vigorously beaten of by the use Of
their fishing poles.-Crawfordsvills

Earring Sumptuously.

One Fair Of Gloves for Two.

Gen. Joe Hooker, a member of con-
gress from the Seventh Mississippi
district, was ono of the heroes of the
late war against the Union. He car
ries an empty sleeve as a relic of his
experiences on the field. Maj. Pow
ell, the chief of the geological sur
vey, was in the Union army, and he
also carries an empty sleeve. Gen.
Hooker's lost arm was on the right
side and Maj. Powell's on the left.
Their remaining hands are of the same
proportions, and they have mutual
agreement under which they pur-
chase gloves in common, Maj. Powell
using all of the rights, and Gen.
Hooker the 'lefts." No difficulty
ever occurs between them about the
selection of these gloves, for they pay
little attention to the perennial
changes in modes and fashions

The First American Flag That Floated
In Southern California.

In Southern California.
Here in southern California today
are living three ladies who, in 1S47,
made the first United States flag which
ever was unfurled in California. Don
Juan Bandini, in that year, lived on
his ranch of thousands of acres at what
is now known as Old Town San Diego.
This is where the mission was estab-
lished and is adjacent to the present
city of San Diego. Don Bandini was
far sighted and perhaps trifle dis
affected; he liked "Los Americanos"
and he knew that the fair land would
inevitably come under the domination
of the stars and stripes.
He had three lovely daughters, Ar
eadia, Josefa and Ysidora, all of
whom shared their fathers views. In
the old days it was difficult for young
women of Spanish blood to find suit
able alliances. The rigid rule of caste
precluded marriages with young men
whose blood was mixed with that of
Indian or Aztec, but the adventurous
Americans who came gold hunting
We're considered good catches, even if
they could not tell who their grand
fathers We're. After events proved
that these three young Spanish girls
needed no considerable amount Of ar
gument from their father to convince
chem that the Americans possessed
remarkable attractions.
AS things more and more strongly
pointed to the coming supremacy OF
the United States, Don Juan grew
more and more eager publicly to indi-
cate that his allegiance would be glad
ly given to the new order when it
should be asked for. Why not fly an
American hag9 This was a capital
idea; but where was he to get the
standards The three girls put their
pretty heads together and determined
to make flag with their own fingers
at the cost of any sacrifice. And they
did; one contributed coquettish red
petticoat, another slashed up her pref
test white skirt and the third took
from her shapely shoulders blue silk
shawl and sacrificed it at the altar of
patriotism. The result was credit
able banner, which was displayed on
the outer wall of the Bandini house
the first which was ever caressed by
CALIFORNIA; semitropical breezes.
Mark the happy result. Senoritas
Arcadia and Ysidora both married
Americans. The former is now the
wife of Col. r. S. Baker, of this city,
aud the latter is the widow of Col.
Gave J, Couts, of San Luis Rey. Sc
norita Josefa, however, was wooed and
won by handsome and wealthy
Spaniard, Don Pho G. Carello, of Los
Angeles, who, before his death, ac-
auired great landed interests. These
three ladies are living here in the
midst of the progress and activity of a
great state, at whose christening it
may be said that they assisted.-Los

That Distractinc whistle.

In the suburbs, just outside the city
limits, the whistle of the locomotive is
become an instrument of torture as
well as a relic of the early and semi
barbaric days of the iron horse. The
grimy man in the cab can, by touch
ing lever let loose more evils than
fair Pandora's box ever contained. He
can send a nervous invalid into
spasms, can hasten and make sure the
death hour of the sick mortal, can
render sleep impossible for the we'll
and bring distraction to the parent
hanging over the cradle of the fevered
child. He can do all these things; and
he accomplishes them all, every sum-
mer night, when the windows must
nemain open and the shrek of the
whistle enters the home ike mid
night assassin. The engineer does this
because he has his orders to whistle.
The night was made for slumber, not
for the silence shattering play of the
whistle lever. Three or four short
blasts would accomplish ali that is
needed on the score of warning. A
prolonged blast, that lasts while the
engine is dashing over distance Of
half mile through peaceful village.
is simply an example of barbarous dis
regard of human rights and human
comforts. The few people abroad in
the country, between midnight and 5
a. m. need not the prolonged howl of
the steam whistle to warn them of
trains approach. The air is then
calm and free from other sounds.
There are no cattle roaming about at
this time. In fact, there is much harm
and no good accomplished by the pres
emit pernicious activity of the noctur-
nal whistle.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

AN EVENING EXCITEMENT
Caused by the Collision OF .
Wagon and q Fruit Stand.

Probably the most noise since the
days of the Rebellion was created at 6
o'clock last evening on the corner Of
Fourth and Robert streets, when an
amateur runaway dashed into Mr..
Dago's ''peanutti standa," situated on
tile northeast corner Of the block in
which it stands monument. The
usual 6 O'Clock activity, caused by home
ward-bOund pedestrians, was at its
height when the terrible disaster befell
othe brawny son of sunny Italy. The
horses, attached to "a contractors wagon,
dashed up Robert street, presumably
afrom the Ryan, where they were stop
ping hitched to a post outside. All
twas dark and excitement along the line
of their flight, and men and women,
without much ado, seemed anxious to
desert their perilOus path. As they
reached the aforesaid fruiterer's stand
they wheeled on two wheels around the
corner and deftly caught a spoke-space
around the grip handles of the we'll
laden fruit stand, and in less time than
it takes an echo to die, the apples, pea
nuts, dates, grapes. paper bags, iron
.seales, gasoline lamp, chestnut"
rooster and fortune of Mr.. DagO were up
in the ARA confiscated property. The
momentum of the barn-dance swing to
which the pride of Mr.. Dago was
treated, threw the trap across the street,
fortunately releasing the structure from
the entangled mass flying up Fourth
street. Several million people and
bootblacks had gathered about this
time to see what instruction was being
exploded. A cable car forced Its way
up to the crowd and was then COM
PEELED to halt. The street was Uttered
with fruit and peanuts, and the street
gamins held high carnival, while the
more anxious passengers i'll the cable
cars declared murder had been com
mitted. Others suggested that the Sal
Walton Army had gone into camp. The
frequent occurrence of fight between
pair, or small party of ravenOus boot
blacks. dispelled such a theory, while
the prOfane vehemence of the Dago and
his anathemaS upon the heads of the
laughing mob put woman to shock.
