Joking With Sea-Gulls.

Sea birds are always interesting OBJ
jects to voyagers, says a writer in
Ocean. They follow a vessel some
times all the way across, ever restless
and untiring. The gulls particularly,
with their long, swift wings, realize the
highest powers of endurance, and fly
with ease against the severest storms.
Some say that these birds never visit
the earth except TO deposit their eggs;
otherwise they live constantly between
the sea and the sky. In fine weather
they fly high in the air, descending
with great rapidity to seize the fishes
on the water. The symmetry and
strength of the gulls are remarkable,
showing how nature has adapted them
in every particular for the purpose of
long flight. Their pectoral or breast
muscles are one solid mass of firm,
hard muscle, and their bones are
hollow, having no marrow in them.
Sleep is not necessary to them; or,
rather, they rest upon their wings and
allow themselves to be Graded by the
breezes. whose violence neither worries
nor frightens them. On the other
hand, they seem to feel a fierce delight
in the fury of the storm, which, con-
vuIsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing off a
joke upon the gulls, which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail Irvine about
six feet in length. These are tied to-
gether in the middle, and to the end of
each small piece of blubber or fat is
attached tightly and then thrown into
the sea. A gull comes along and
swallows one piece. Another then
sees there is plenty to spare and swal-
lows the next. Perhaps third bird
takes possession of another, but, as
they are all attached to the sail yarns,
whenever they try to fly away one or
the other is compelled to disgorge his
share, and this is continued to the tan
TALKING suspense of the poor guils and
the great fun of the passengers and
sailors.

'CAMP-MEETIN' JOHN,
A Little Story Told of Allen of MIssfs-
sippf by His Colleague.

Representative Allen, of Mississippi,
doesn't have it all his own way. Con-
gresham Burrows, of Michigan, has
got even with him for once. He got
Captain Allen up in line recently and
fired whole battery into his ear
"When Allen was saving Connecti-
cut last fall" said Burrows. ''he had
an appointment in Windham county.
He was met at the depot by an old fell
low with a bald face and a fringe of
yellow-whitey whiskers springing up
from his collar-bone over the edge of
his collar like witch grass in the angle
of a rail fence.
"'This is Mr.. Allen, is it?' asked the
old 'un.
''It air. responded the Captain.
"'Wall, I've come to take We to the
meet'n'.'n
Without further ado the Captain
climbed into the wagon. 1t was one
of the kind saved in the ark. 1t had a
rocker body set on thorough braces
and with wheels two inches across the
tire. The shafts were straight and
run up from low axle to the horses
neck. The horse was rat-tailed buck
skin mare which cantered behind and
ambled in front. She wore an old
fashioned collar and names, cut decol-
lette and stuffed with straw. Allen
tried to stir the old man up by talking
politics, but the patriarch didn't seem
very enthusiastic for the Democracy,
and preferred to talk about foreordina-
ton and the mortal certainty ninety
nine in hundred had of being damned.
Finally they reached the place of
meeting. There was a good crowd
more women than usual, but terrible
solemn lot all around. The hall looked
more like a Westinghouse than most
places, but Captain Allen was accus-
toned to expect anything. Old Gal
ways escorted him to the platform,
where solemn looking mugs shook
hands with him and didn't utter a
word.
''Gad, thought the Captain, this
looks like funeral rll have a Job
warming them up
FINALLY one of the solemn parties
walked to the edge of the platform and
said:
''Bretheren and sisters: 1t is nv sol
emn pleasure to interjuce to you to-
night, man whose name is a house
hold word from Maine to California
a man who, though upwards, [ under
stand, of so years of age, scarcely
looks 60. Elbow me to present Rev.
John Allen of Main, more ginerly
known as Camp Meetin'" John Allen,
who will open the services with pra'r.'''

One of Col. Bob" Ingersoll's stories
is that he found himself alone in the
office one day while as young man he
was studying law with firm out West.
He was interrupted by the entrance of
a raw-boned, sharp-featured country
woman, who ambled into the room,
leading a freckled-faced, watery-eyed
10-year-old boy by the hand. "Air
you the lawyer" she began. On be-
ing answered in the affirmative she
went on to say that she had brought
her boy Jim to town for the purpose Of
binding him out at the ''lawyerin'
trade She was morally certain, she
averred, that Jim was a born lawyer,
and that all he needed was chance.
But madam" objected the Colonel,
che is entirely too young to begin the
study of laws TOO young, indeed"
shifted the fond mother contemptuous-
ly; you don't know Jim. He was Jest
born for a lawyer" Much amused the
Colonel asked her on what grounds she
based her hopes of future greatness at
the bar for her darling child Why"
said she, "when he was only years
old he struck work and swore he
wouldn't do another lick if he got
killed for it. When he was s he got
sassy, and put on more airs than
prize horse at the country fair, and
now, Law bless me, he jest freezes onto
everything he can lay his hands on

The Author of NI'Ginty.

The man who evolved from his
teeming brain the ballad which mar
rates the tumbles taken by Dan Nc
Ginty is probably at the present mo-
ment the most talked about of the
minor poets of America, says the Ro-
chester Democrat and Chronicle Down
Went McGinty'' has arrived at the Dig
nifty of being 1.-THE" sag of the day. So
when the reporter was informed that
Joe Flynn, the undoubted author of
the most popular song of the season,
was singing it daily and nightly at
local theater, down went the writer to
the bottom of the hall that connects
the upper tier of dressing-rooms at the
opera-house and found himself in the
awful presence of the original McGinty,
who was engaged in extricating HIM
self from his grease paint, prepare
tory to donning ''his best suit Of
clothes"
Mr.. Flynn is good-looking, black
haired and black-eyed young fellow,
who takes the success of his muse in
the most philosophic and modest man
ner. OF the origin of the famous song
he said: eff you ever heard the story
of the Irishman who was successfully
carried in hod to the top of a seven
story building by friend as the re-
suit of bet that the feat could not be
successfully accomplished, and who re-
marked on paying over the money,
We'll, Pat, We won fairly, but when
yer foot slipped at the sixth floor, be
jabers, l had hopes:' you know what
suggested the first verse of the song. IL
you ever heard the air of the old song
about the old man who had a wooden
leg, and who had no tobaccy in his old
tobaccy box, you can guess where the
suggestion for the tune came from.
wrote the song some time last April
and did not think very much of it,
while my partner, Mr.. Sheridan here,
thought nothing of it at all, We tried
it on for the first time at the Provi-
dence opera-house. That important
event took place on the evening of May
S last. The song caught on at once,
and we, and, as far as | can see, every
song-and-dance man, have been sing
ing it ever since. | suppose it took me
about half an hour to write the song

until after six m onths had elapsed that
the surface of the rail appeared to be
corroded, as if by acid, to the extent Of

The rail was taken up and broken,
whereupon it was found to be literally

centimetres in length and of about the
bigness of a common knitting needle.
1t is of light gray color, and on the
head it carries two little sacs or glands,
filled with a most powerful corrosive
secretion, which is elected every ten
minutes when the little demon is living
undisturbed. The liquid when squirted
upon iron renders that metal soft and
spongy and of the color of rust, when
it is easily and greedily devoured by
the little insect. There is no ex-

BumbIethorpe and the Bull.

Gen. Bumblethorpe is certainly
very BIG man-big in statue and big
ger still in his own conceit, trimming
over, as he constantly is, with his own
importance, says the Boston Transcript.
Gen. Bumblethorpe was never in the
army; he never was even in the militia.
But he was surveyor-general once, a
good while ago, and has of course worn
the title of general ever since, and has
always insisted upon it. He has been
a shade more overbearing since he be-
came a general in this way thous he
was sufficiently overbearing before
that.
One fine afternoon last summer Gen.
Bumblethorpe was taking a walk
through the outskirts of the country
town which he had honored by choos-
ing it as his place of summer sojourn. In
the course of his wanderings he came
upon pair of bars leading into a
grassy and inviting meadow. The
bars he let down and walked into
the meadow. He had but half crossed
the meadow when he saw, to his
horror, great black and white
Holstein bull emerge from the dark
shade of an apple tree and advance
toward him. Gen. Bumblethorpe
is not an active man. but the steady
advance of the enormous animal slim
ulated him for the moment to great
activity. And his own rapid flight
also served to stimulate the bull, who
lowered his head and charged fero-
ciously, believing the while.
1t was a mad chase, but Gen. Bum
blethorpe had some good rods of adj
vantage in the start, and the opposite
fence of the field was not far away.
The general ran rapidly and succeeded
in turning a somersault over the fence
just in time to escape the Infatuated
animal.
And then it was Gen. Bumblethrope
was Infatuated. From the safe side
at the bull, and, seeing a farmhouse
not far away, he stalked over to it.
The farmer was choring around the
barn when the general rushed up to
kim.

exclaimed Gen. Bumblethorpe.

With Head to the North.

The superstitious belief that human
beings should sleep with their heads
towards the north is now believed to be
based upon scientific principle. The
French Academy of Sciences has made
experiments upon the body of a gull
lotined man which go to prove that
each human body is in itself an electric
battery, one electrode being represent
ed by the head and the other by the
feet. The body of the subject upon
which experiments were made was
taken Immediately after death and
placed upon a pivot free to move in
any direction. After some vacillation
the head portion turned towards the
north. the pivot-board remaining sta
tionary. One of the professors turned
it half way around, but it soon re-
gained position with the head-piece
to the north, and the same results were
repeatedly obtained until organic
movement ceased.

Titles of Nobility.

1t is difficult to understand why peo-
pie should be willing to pay such long
prices for titular distinctions for their
daughters, saws a Paris letter to the
New York World, when it would cost
them so much less to acquire a title for
themselves which they could leave to
their children and which has the great
advantage of being free from any en-
cumbranee Nowadays nothing is
easier than to develop into a duke,
marquis, or count, and at very small
outlay. | remember being accos ted
once in the Villa gardens in Naples by
an old gentleman, who introduced him
self as Prince Del Cittadini, and who
after sundry preliminary offers to
adopt me as his son for trifing con-
sideration of $40 and the expenses of the
legal document which would have en-
titled me to wear the name and homo
of the Del Cittadini family. The mans
title was all right. He was the repre-
sentative of one of the oldest Roman
families, and. being dead-broke, madea
precarious living in this way. He told
me that he had more than 100 adopted
children, and that accordingly tn ere
were that number of princes of the Del

of each of these was perfectly genu ne
as the Italian law stands, and the name
is most illustrious one. In Fra ice
one sees every day advertisements in
the papers from mobiles Offering to
adopt people who may wish to bear a
sonorous name, and these offers are
frequently taken advantage of by am
bilious persons sons. A case happe ned
some time ago where young marq MS

aged grocer, who had retired from bRsi-
ness with large fortune and wis hes
to do some shining in society. He
figures now as a count, and should his
juvenile adopted father die before him
he will blossom out into a full-bloo ded
marquis. And there are many other
ways of getting a handle to ones name
without marrying some greedy de adj
beat. There is worthy Ameri can

who some years ago acquired an Italian
title. and who is now recognized as
marquis of the first water. His eide
son is count, the next is a viscount,

or more of ladies in Charleston who

from the opoponax trees in their gar

from the sale of their flowers, and her
neighbor, who has a younger tree, has
bought a handsome winter cloak from
the proceeds of her tree. The flowers
are made up in tiny button-hole
bouquets, and are given to the cooks
son to sell. He sells them at cents a
