A Tinker's Story.

Peter DAILY, wandering tinker, sat
mending an old wash boiler in front of
tenement house on Forty eighth street
near Eleventh avenue, singing merrily
away as he filled up the holes with solder.
Peter was in a talkative mood and a
few minutes conversation disclosed the
fact that the tinker has a history.
He served ten years in the British army,
and has seen some hard service under the
hot sun of India. His father was tinker
before him in county Antrim, Ireland,
where Pete was born, and he learned to
use the soldering iron almost as soon as he
learned to walk
From the British army Peter went to
Australia, and from there he wandered
bver half Europe, carrying his little fur
mace and kit of tools, and working his way
rs he went He can shout BOILERS to
snendn II half dozen different languages,
and speaks German as well as any good
Subject of the kaiser. But he says there is
q reason for that. In a little town in Ger
many he received q wound from q bright
pair of blue eyes that was worse than any
he had received in the army, "and which"
Peter says, twill never get we'll" But he
doesn't care much about that part of it,
for the little German maiden consented to
so with him and take care of the wound.
So Pete took her along as his wife, and
Gays she is doing her best to keep the
t|ound fresh.
His wanderings are done now, however,
nA6 every night he goes home TO the fat
where he lives on the west-side, where the
smiling face OF his Gretchen and their
three sturdy rogues of children are await

sively. The intruder was about to

"Take seat. There's no occa-

Babies for Bait.

"Wanted-Fat babies for croco-
die bait; will be brought back
alive
"When I first saw this advertise
ment in Ceylon newspaper" said
Richard Kinghorn to Chicago
Tribune reporter, II thought it was
a joke. Afterward l learned that
it was by this means that the croc-
odile hunters secured their bait. 1t
is no trouble for an English croco-
die hunter to get these little child
rem. The Ceylon parents have full
confidence in Englishmen and they
will rent out their babies to be used
for crocodile bait for a small sum.
''The Ceylon crocodiles are lazier
than any other and are harder to
get. They lie for hours perfectly
motionless, basking in the sun
Hardly anything can stir them.
But when tempted by fat Ceylon
baby placed on the banks of the
stream they shake off their ennui
and their mouths water for a deli
cate morsel of brown baby. The
crocodile gathers himself together
ard starts out for the infant. When
he gets aboaatt half way up the bank
the hunter, concealed -6t'egSs 6esSss nd some
reeds, opens fire and gets his game.
Then the baby is taken home to its
loving parents to be used for the
next day. The sportsman secures
the skin and the head of the croco-
dile and the natives are given the
rest of the carcass. I've shot every
thing, from the little prairie dogs to
grizzly bears, but for excitement
crocodile shooting with babies for
bait is out of sight.

Curious Plants.

A very funny plant in the Gov
ernment Botanical Garden is the
so-called barber plant, the leaves O.
which are used in some parts of the
East by rubbing on the face to keep
the beard from growing. It is not
supposed to have any effect on q
beard that is already rooted, but
merely to act as preventive, boys
employing it to keep the hair from
getting a start on the face. 1t 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
so designated because it catches
butterflies and kills them for sheer
sport. It's flowers attract the poor
little hutterer by the honey it offers,
and when the victim lights upon it
it grabs the butterfly by the head
and hold it fast until the captive
dies. Then the flower drops it on
the ground and lies in wait for a
fresh unfortunate.
A curious looking tree from the
Isthmus of Panama bears a round
red fruit as big as an apple, which
has this remarkable faculty, that
its juice, rubbed on tough beef or
chicken, makes the meat tender by
the chemical power it possesses to
flesh fiber. One is inter-
ested to observe in the botanical
greenhouse, three kinds of plants
that have real consumption of the
lungs-the leaves, of course, being
the lungs of a plant.
The disease is manifested by the
turning of the leaves from green
to white, the affliction gradually
spreading from one spot until, when
a leaf is all white, it is just about
to die Cruelty enough, as it would
seem, the gardeners only try to per-
petuate the disease for the sake of
beauty and curiosity, all plants of
those varieties that are too healthy
being thrown away.-Boston Tran

MAKING a SPEECH.
It Usually Involves a Very Serious
Physical Strain.

It may look like very easy thing
for member, having his speech
written, to deliver it in the course
of an hour in the house, but it is
not such an easy thing as it looks.
The average speaker gets deal of
athletic exercise in the course of
an hours speech. There are some
members in the House who can
stand and read a speech without
lifting a hand except to turn the
pages, and almost without chang
ing position and there are others
who can talk all day without get
ting tired; but the average speaker
perspires as if he were saving wood.
An off-hand speech of ten minutes
does not count, but the man who
throws his arms in the air as if
whirling Indian clubs, hammers his
desk like a blacksmith, and dances
all around the place for an hour or
more, is taking very violent exer-
else. Experience has taught some
of them that it is not safe to make
such speech without taking extra
precautions against cooling off too
quickly afterward.
know several members who take
extraordinary precautions. They
do not speak often. They know know i6lr if6r
weeks beforehand that they are to
speak, and after all preparations are
made for the speech itself, and the
day comes for the effort, they have
servant bring a complete change
of linen and underwear and a heavy
overcoat to the Capitol, and wait
with these things at hand until the
speech is ended. Then the speaker,
with the perspiration pouring off
him, rushes to the cloak-room,
where the servant stands with the
coat ready, and throws it over his
shoulders as soon as he comes with
in reach. Next, the member, with
the collar Of his overcoat turned up
high, tucks his dry underclothing
under his arm and makes for the
bathrooms. There he enters the
waiting-room, where the tempera-
ture is high and there can be no
draught, being underground, and |
waits to cool off little preparatory |
to bath. There is no more work |
for him in the House that day. |
When he has got his bath, he makes
for his lodgings as fast as he can,
and stays there until thoroughly

The Colonel and the Private.

Gov. Beaver is known by every
Pittsburg boy in the National Guard
to be very strict disciplinarian in
military etiquet and drill, says the
Pitsburg Dispatch. Austin, Curtin,
of the Governors native town, told
| this war reminiscence about him
the other night to some of the del
egates at the G. A. r. Encampment:
While Lieutenant-Colonel Of the
55th regiment Beaver was one day
sitting in front of his tent, when a
slouchy-looking soldier with ill-ft-
ting uniform came along, stopped,
and inquired:
"Vere ish der doctor?'
'Is that the way to address your
superior officer, sir?" roared Col.
Beaver.
The German stared at his supe-
rior officer in blank amazement,
but said never a word.
"iere, sir, take this chair. You
be the Colonel, and | will teach you
how to address an officer"
"Vas me der boss of der regiment?
eyes, take this chair, and l will
show you how to act"
The soldier sat down in front of
the tent. Col. Beaver walked off a
few PAGES, turned about, returned
to position in front of the officer
pro tempore, squared himself
around, made military salute, and
inquired:
Colonel, can you inform me
where can find the Surgeon of the
regiment?"
The soldier arose, and, looking
seriously and straight at Beaver,
replied:
Odd if / know where he is !"

new ENGLISH SLAMS.
Two Terms Imported by New York
Anglomaniacs.

notice that the local angloma
MACS have imported a new wore
which affords them great satisfac
ton. The term in question is a
"bounder," and is applied in a sense
of contempt or dislike to any one
It seems to be derived from the vo.
cabulary of the tennis ground, and
implies that an individual thus
stigmatized is out of bounds, or, in
other words, is a rank outsider. It
indicates persons of either sex who,
though not exactly. cads do not
come up in manners, dress or con-
versation to the standards of alleged
good society. At present it is little
heard outside the walls of few of
the clubs patronized by the gilded
and Anglicised youth of the me-
tropolis. But some good judges
think that the word is not unlikely
to come into more general use. To
say that any one is "too fresh" is
both slangy and hackneyed. But
to designate him as "bounder" is
both novel and expressive.
Another expression of recent
date and English origin which finds
favor in the circle of the -Four Hun
dred is the adjective ripping" The
atrocities of Jack the Ripper had
something to do with its invention.
How it came to n7eean excellence
and express admiration may be
difficult to explain. But, as used
by the British aristocracy and their
American imitators, that is the
sense. A ripping" horse, a grip
ping" fine girl, a tripping good
dinner or ripping days sport
are a few samples Of its employ
ment. AS further example, was
in an uptown cafe few days ago
with an English friend, when
young dude of the Four Hundred,
evidently fresh from a trip to the
other side, entered with a compan-
ion of the same species and seated
himself near us. "What are you
drinking, old chap?" said the COM
panion. "Shewy and bitters." The
sherry and bitters were brought and
of. That is a whipping
drink" lisped the dude. My Eng
lish friend translated the expression
for my benefit, but he was more
amused than was.-N. Y. Star.

Struck By Lightning.

Sailors are proverbial for their
big yarns, but they can't get much
of river men, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. The other day Captain
J. D. Parker got hold of Captain
Gibson, and he said: "Dave, you
recollect when ] was mate on the
Yazoo and that streak of lightning
struck me as / stood near the jack
staff in that terrible storm, and you
all thought that was dead for
sure?'
"Oh, yes, very well; but where
did the lightning go to anyhow"
"Why, it went right down into
my boot"
And you never were hurt?"
"No, sir; not bit. / just took
my boot off and poured the light
ming out on the deck"
And the two worthless went to
look at the weather map.
