A BLUE LOBSTER.

Handsome Shades Found ON a Crustncean
Just Captured.
MARsHFIELD, N. j., August IA few
days ago Henry P. Taylor found blue
lobster in one of mis- traps. The color was
not blush green, but an ultra marine blue
of as handsome shade as was ever worn by
the waters from which the crustacean was
taken. Along the back the color of this
curious lobster is almost an indigo blue, but
at the sides it is lighter, and in the joints of
the shell shades away to delicious cream.

Baron's lawyers and those Of the gamblers
have come together and compromise is
SAID to have been virtually agreed upon,

satisfy the Baron, who has not hesitated to
openly express his chagrin at being piucked.
The denial of Mr.. Marks is natural under
the circumstances. 1t would be unprofta-
bic policy to confess that the house had
agreed to refund, for that might be very
widely regarded as an admission that the
Baron was right and the game was queer.

Queer Things in Caracas.
From the Chicago News.


They have some queer things on the
bills of fare. We studied over one item
that appeared almost daily as garden
eggs" and when we ordered some out
of curiosity it turned out to be egg plant.
Another was "papas en- camisas." A
"camisas" ordinarily is a night shirt
or the jacket of a pajarna. Hence the
natural inference was that we had land
ed among community Of cannibals
who was serving up somebody's papa in
bis nightshirt. But papa in Spanish
means potato, and this mysterious arti-
Gle of food was nothing more than an
ordinary steamed potato with the skin
or jacket on. A cantaloup is called a
melone. and the word when pro-
nounced sounds very much like a very
numerous and highly respected Irish
family. So when we want a portion OF
that toothsome fruit we called tor a
'malony," and a woman's comet is
called "be gorra."
There are some even queerer things
than this in the Spanish language,
however. The pupil of the eye, for ex-
ample, is "the little girl of the eye,''
when literally translated "la nina de
ojo," and although it is not quite 80
poetic as the nostrils are "the windows
ofthe nose"-"las ventanas de la nariz."
Then again the "dado" is the finger
and thumb is ''la dado pulgar." Pulgar
means flea. hence the thumb is the flea
finger" which illustrated one Of the
principal occupations of the people.

Tanning an Elephant Hide.
From the St. James Gazette.


1t weighed about l 200 pounds, and
was about an inch and a third thick.
After being put in a reservoir of pure
water to green it, it was beaten for one
hour every day with an iron on large
anvil. After being ten days In pure wa
ter it was lett for another ten days in
water with about per cent. of SALT
Then it was replaced in pure water
again for twenty days. During those
forty days it was constantly in soak.
The head and feet, weighing about 300
pounds. were then removed, and the
skin hung on spikes in the drying room.
Alter hanging one day it was put in a
vat containing potash and a small
quantity of sulphur of sodium in the
following proportions: Water, 1000
parts; sulphur of sodium, 2 parts. At
ter being two days in this bath it was
rinsed in pure water OF temperature
of 20 degrees, when it was again placed
in the drying room. After this double
operation was repeated three times the
skin was ready to have the hair taken
off. This operation occupied about one
days time, and gave about IS pounds of
hair. Another day was spent in clean
ing and scraping. By this time it lost 80
per cent. of its weight. The operation
Of its preparation lasted two months,
and it went through the same course as
cowhide, with the difference that each
phase OF the work took three times as
much time. The skin should be
stretched in the pit, and placed in the
middle of cow hides. Six layers of
powder are then thrown in; two first,
two second and two third layers. AL
together the tanning takes three years.
The partition of time is thus: Becom-
ing green, 40 days: worked, 16 days;
preparation, SO days; repetition, so

Brigandage in Macedonia.
From McMillan's Magazine.

From McMillan's Magazine.
The causes and character of Macedo-
MAN brigandage are complicated by a
possible political element; but it is no
easy matter to learn the true state of the
question. Turks and philo-Turks assert
positively that it is supported by secret
societies in Bulgaria and Greece, with
the view of discrediting the Ottoman
government In the eyes of the powers !;
but in spite of the preponderance of
Greeks in the brlgand bands one is 10th
to believe in the completely of the
Greek nation, even through secret So
ciety. n any case the authorities are
absolutely innocent of such foul play,
and do what they can in the absence of
an extradition treaty. It would be we'll,
neverth eless, to be more careful and
not to allow notorious ruffians to harbor
in Thessaly, as was asserted to be the
case not long ago, for no diplomatic
jealousies ought to give security to
a blood-stained monster like the in
famous Nicko, who was said to have
lived for some time at Larissa. The
taking of Colonel Synge was the least of
this brute's misdeeds, the atrocious
character of which shocked even his
own villainous profession. Here is one
which can be absolutely certified. Some
years ago he took two little children,
for whom he demanded 400 and 800 hras
respectively. The larger sum was paid,
and, like strict man of business, he
gave up the child; in the second case
ne had to do with poor pareI is to whom
the sum demanded was an impossible
ity. Fifty liras were sent up and sent
back again. The wretched parents sold
all they had, raised subscription and
got together another hundred. Nicko
sent this back as before, with the brief
message that if he was not satisfied in
three days the child would not be liv-
ing. He kept his word; the parents re-
ceived the body in four quarters, and
Nicko told his own Mortified ruffians
that business was business in this as In
everything else.

To Promote Sleep.
From the Medical Journal.

From the Medical Journal.
One of the most effective inducers to
sleep is warm salt water bath taken be-
fore retiring. This will always put rest
less Guild to slumber if it is well, and if
it is well fed after its bath. Sleeplessness
in an adult is more difficult to contend
with. A warm salt bath may not al
ways act as quickly, but it is worth try
ing. If there is any tendency to cold
feet put warm bottle to the ieet after
bathing, and in many cases a restful
sleep will follow. 1t is far better to re-
sort to every subterfuge to induce sleep
before resorting to any sleeping draught.
Sometimes few crackers or something
else eaten just before retiring will in
duce sleep when nothing else will. For
this purpose many people keep crack
er jar in their rooms. The thin wafer
crackers are excellent for this purpose.
For the dry, burning sensation in the
palms of the hands and soles of the teet
which induces sleeplessness, sponge
them in ammonia and water Or vinegar
and water. The continued dwelling on
certain thought may be of value. A
frequent remedy of this kind is to i'm

Barney PensiOned.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
w. 81. Wolf has retired his celebrat-
ed trick horse, Barney, from active serv-
ice. Barney is not only known among
M1lwaukeeans generally, but his fame
extends to all leading points on the
great chain of lakes. Barney is prod
uct Of Waukesha County, having spent
six years on farm before being turned
over to Mr.. Wolf and introduced to city
life, with it's devious ways and peculiar
methods. Ordinarily country horses do
not take kindly to sudden innovations.
but Barney's superior intelligence
speedily overcame all scruples,
and being neither sedate nor
bashful, he soon behaved 80
much like city horse that people
supposed he had eeen reared in me-
tropolis. Twenty years have passed
since Mr.. Wolf purchased Barney, and
during all this time he has logged his
master to and from the shipyard, and
to every portion OF the city where the
requirements of business called him.
Thus, as some Of the principal houses
were called at more frequently than
others, he learned to know them SO we'll
that the mere mention of the name
of firm would cause him to lead the
way in the direction of the establish
ment, without being guided. Like his
master, Barney became an active Re-
publican politician, and often proved
his feaity to the party by refusing to
carry Democrats in the buggy to which
he was attached. The mere mention of
the presence of Democrat was suffi-
cient TO cause a genuine kick. Bar
neys peculiar ideas of bust
ness would not permit him to tolerate
In the buggy any person who had work
done at the other yard. Barney was
also good collector OF tough bills. 1t
is related of him that on several occa-
sions, when all other means had failed
PEELED f1inty faced, close-fsted, custom
ers of the shipyard to fork over or run
the risk of losing their scalps. Barney
loved sport, even IN his advancing
years, and often during sleighing sea-
sons, by sudden starts, whirled boys
into snow banks whe n they undertook
to hook on behind his cutter. He en-
Joy ed this 80 much that he was constant
ly on the lookout for urchins at points
where the snow happened to be suitably
deep for a good founder. Barney knew
the danger of runaways, and more than
once hurried Mr.. Wolf out of harms
way before he had time to realize what
was going on. But Notwithstanding the

Tor the active duties of city life. His
heart is as young as ever, but his joints
and muscles have grown stiff with time,
and every movement beyond a walk is
strained. He can get away with oats, hay
and other feed as we'll as ever, but they
fail to Undue him with the freshness of
early years. Barnev's race is about
run, and he has been relegated to life
of quiet retirement in consequence.
Mr.. Wolf can we'll afford to pension him
with every needed comfort during his
few remaining years for the valuable
service he has rendered and the sagac-
ity he has displayed and still displays
when called upon.

Small Eaters Live Long.
From the Boston Traveller.


With regard 10 food, we find from
DR.. Humphreys report that 80 per
cent. of the aged persons were either
moderate or small eaters, and such
moderation is quite in accord with the
teachings of physiology. In old age the
changes in the bodily tissues gradually
become less active. and less food is re-
CURED to make up for the daily waste.
The appetite and the power of digestion
are correspondinglv diminished, and,
although for the attainment of great
age a considerable amount Of digestive
power is absolutely necessary, its per-
lection, when exercised upon proper ar
ticles Of diet, is the most important
characteristic. Indulgence in the pleas
ures of the table is one of the common
errors of advanced life, and is not in
frequent in persons who, up to that
period, were moderate or even small
eaters.
Luxuries in the way of food are apt
to- be regarded as rewards that have
been fully earned by life of LABOR,
and may, therefore, be lawfully en-
ioyed Hence arise many OF the evils
and troubles of old age, and notably IN
digestion and equity symptoms In varl-
GUS forms, beside mental discomfort.
No hard and fast rules can be laid
down, but strict moderation should be
the guiding maxim. The diet suitable
for most aged persons is that which con-
tains much nutritive material In small
bulk, and it's quantity should be in pro-
portion to the appetite and power OF
digestion. Animal food, well cooked,
should be taken sparingly and not
oftener than twice day, except un-
der special circumstances. DR.. Parkes
advocates rice as partial substitute for
meat when the latter is found to dis
agree with old persons. Its starch
grains are very digestible, and it sup
plies nitrogen in moderate amount. we'll
fitted 70 the worn and slowly repaired
tissues of the aged.
Its bulk, however, is sometimes dis
advantage; in small quantities it is val
liable addition to milk and stewed
fruits. The amount of food taken
should be divided between three or four
meals at fairly reg ular intervals. A
sense Of fullness or oppression after eat
ing ought not to be disregarded. 1t in
dicates that the food taken has either
been too abundant or Of improper quail
ity. For many elderly people the most
suitable time for the principal meal is
between l and 2 P. M. AS the day ad-
vances the digestive powers become
less, and even a moderately substantial
meal taken in the evening may serious
ly overtask them. Undigested food is a
potent cause of disturbed sleep, an evil
often very troublesome to old people,
and one which ought to be carefully
guarded against.
