An unsssuming citizen of frugal
mind blackened his own boots for econ
omy sake the other day, and then went
out to the barber's for shave. Lying
back on the luxurious chair, he was
lulled into dreamy state by the bar
ber's prattle. Then he felt something at
his feet. Opening his eyes he saw
colored youth in full play at them with
blackiug brushes. whats the matter

MYSTERIOUS MUSIC.
STRANGE, MEroDrovs SOUNDS FROM
A RUNNING STREAM.


II was late one evening I'm Sem
tember, 1875, that 1 first heard the
mysterious music of Pascagoula,
writes a contributor 10 The Popular
Science Monthly. An old fisherman
called me from the house where
then was TO come down on the river
bank aud shear the spirits singing
under the water.D Full of eager
curiosity, readily obeysd the sum-
mons, aud IL what ! heard cannot
be properly called music, il was GER
tainly mysterious. From out Of the
waters VI the river, apparently some
forty feet from its shelving bank,
rose a roaring, muTmuring sound,
which gradually increased in
strength and volume until it had
reached it, height, when It as slowly
descended.
1t never advanced or receded, but
seemed always In the same spot, and
though | remained there some time,
IL never ceased, but continued TO
rise and fall in the manner that 1
have indicated above. The reader
may obtain a better idea Of the
music IL he will place his ear against
telegraph pole, the timber Of which,
acting as a sounding-board for wires
that are played upon by the wind,
gives forth a strange, trenulous
sound that is an exact counterpart OF
the Emusic Of Pascagoula"-with
this difference, however, that where
as the music Of the wires Is very
wavering and tremulous, that Of the
water rises and falls with steady
swell.

lightweight BREAD.
HOW A DISHONEST BAKER WAS Re
TRAYED By HONEST FOLLY.

1t occurred in war times In
Charleston when that city was I'M
der martial law, says the st. Louis
Republic. Jut then flour was scarce
and several Of the bakers succumbed
to temptation and made short
weight bread. This came to the
ears Of the authorities and the pro-
vost-marshal was armed with a pair
Of scales and sent around to the
bakeshops early every morning to
weigh the bread. All short-weight
bread found was confiscated. This
had a good effect, and after n few
confiscations the provost-marshal
usually found all things regular.
One morning one of the bakers re-
ceived the usual call from the mar
shal and his bake was taken from the
oven and weighed and found to an
ounce. But during the night this man
had surreptitiously baked a quantity
Of lightweight bread and slowed II
away under the counter. Just as
the marshal and his detail were
leaving. the shop pet parrot perched
upon the top Of a big cage called
out: "Look under the counter.o
The marshal did 80, discovered the
lightweight bread, and carted it
away. The man was so mad at his
parrot that after the soldiers had gone
he wrung his neck AMI threw him
out into the gutter. But Polly was
not dead by any means. In few
moments be opened one eye, ruffied
up his feathers and staggered about
until he came upon the carcass Of
dead dog. Polly cooked his eye at
the defunct canine and said: "Say,
partner, did you say anything about
that bread?"

SOaE PECULIAR PLANTS.
ONE APPLIED TO A YOUTHS FACE
PREVENTS THE GROWTH
OF BEARD.


a very iunny plant IN Inc govern

ington letter TO the Boston Irdn-
scT1pt, Is The so-called barber plant,
the leaves OF which are used In
some parts OF the east by rubbing
on the lace to keep the beard from
growing. IL Is not supposed to have
any elect on beard that Is already
rooted, but merely to act as q pre-
yentive, boys employing 1t to
keep the hair from getting astart on
their face IL is also employed by
some Oriental people who desire TO
keep parts OF their heads free from
hair, as a matter OF fashion.
Also found in the botanical gar
den is the "cruel plant" which is
90 designated because It catches
butterflies and kills them for sheer

NATURAL POLITEyESS.
A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PEOPLE
OF SWEDEN.

The beautiful politeness and court
esy OF the Swedes themselves Is 8
thing that is very striking to visitors,
says a writer In Temple Bar. They
have a large assortment Of bows,
hobs, cOurtesies aud hat-liftings, ac-
cording TO age and sex, but this
lifting Of the hat to mere acquaint.
ances reaches, fancy, much lower
down in the social scale than else
where in Europe. 1t looks odd to
see the butcher boy in n blouse
elaborately taking of his hat 10 the
bakers assistant. / suspect, on ex.
animation, Swedish hats would be
found TO contain little extra stiff
ening in order to enable them to
stand the wear and tear OF these
greetings.
On one occasion, when going 10y
steamboat TO Upsala, | noticed -
very quaint example Of this national
IraII. The steamboat, rs il near
Upsala, passes through many
shallow reaches Of the Malsr Iai.e,
where the depth Of water Is insult
Gent 10 allow oil the passengers Oelng
landed in the ordinary mlnner,
directly on TO landing stages, and
they have TO be taken on shore In
small boats. The ferrymaD, on
shipping his complement Of passen-
gers, would first take 4 dozen strokes
or 50 in order to clear the screw OF
the steamer, and then would care
fully lay aside his oars, rise from his
seat, and take of his hat with a
solemn bow to the people sitting in
the stern whom he had just taken
of the deck Of the steamer. He
would then row on again and put
them ashore. This did not occur
as an isolated instance, but regularly
every time the passengers had TO
be landed by shore boats. | am
afraid even cur English railway
guards and porters, whom ! had
hitherto imagined to lie tie best
hammered people on the planet,
would not bear comparison with
these natures gentlemen. Lord
Chesterfield himself would scarcely
lie In the running.-EE.
