Variety in TramDs.

Cramps are not all alike" said an old
fellow in City Hall Park to sparrow
policeman the other day.
He was a man who had travelled all
over the world without paying a cent It
was early in the morning and the police
man felt like chat, so he asked:
"W hat do you mean?"
'FJust what I say-tramps are not all
alike. There are rough, ignorant chaps,
too lazy to work, who prey on the coun-
try for a living. They roam in bands,
and are ready for any crime. Again,
there is the tramp whom drink or misfor-
tune has brought down from respectable
ranks in life, and he tramps to forget.
He works enough to buy his meals, but
never stays long in one place, and travels
On freight cars from place to place. Then
there are the gentleman tremps-men
who ride in freight cars, because they
believe il paying for nothing. They
are cheeky and we'll dressed, and always
have money, which they hardly need, as
their insufferable gall is sufficient to carry
them through anything. They are usual
ly hard drinkers a1d drift about to see
the country. They are always generous
to poor buns they meet on the road, and
they travel comfortably even on freights.'

The Creole Character.

The French Creoles of the lower class
are hand-to mouth class of people, pur-
chasing the stick of wood to-day and the
handful of herbs that are to cook and
season their potage, filling their small
market baskets with innumerable pinches
of this, that and the other, laying in few
sous of sugar and coffee at time, and
going next day, for 365 days in the year,
and doing identically the same thing, in
saccula sBcculorum. Dislike to the &C
emulation of household goods, to we'll
stored cellars and pantries, to generous
abundance, to picturesque profusion, to
the essentials of a large-handed hospital
ity even within the narrow limits of their
neighborhood acquaintance, an ant-hke
economy and abstemiousness, curious
juxtaposition of eternal self-restraint and
passion for sensations, cOlors, sounds,
perfumes, an instinct for microscopic
money getting welded to an instinct that
has filled New Orleans with noble insti-
tutions for the poor, the blind, the sick,
the world-weary; passion for novels
and for splendid churches, fond en-
durance of the rigors of cold and hunger
for the brilliant ef1o1escence of careme-
prenant and carnival, voluntary exile
from all laughter and JOY that their rap
turous feet may twinkle a night or two
on the mirrOred floors of the masque
balls down in Charities and Royal streets
such are the fragments of sweet and
bitter herbs that go to make up part of
the paradox of Creole character, and
communicate to it an indefnable piquan-
cy and strangeness by their thick bars of
light and shadow.-New York Star.

she drew it out and saw that something
was written on the outside. Taking the
paper TO the window she saw that the
words were these: THE Last Will and
Testament of Ben iamin Barker"
At this Miss Camiola began TO tremble
from head to foot, but she was daugh-
ter of Eve. Softly and reverently indeed
she opened the will; but she did open it
and read it through, and when she had
finished she crept into bed again and
lay there sobbing for long while; for in
it she had found strange things. Some
of Ben amin Barker's money had been
left to the hospital, some of his land to
the church, and there were legacies for
many people; but the homestead, with
all its furniture, garden and farm land,
and an income on which she could live
luxuriously, were bequeathed ''to Cami-
ola Brown, spinster, in memory of the
love l bore her all my lonely life"
No wonder poor Camiola wept.
But Mr.. Black soon found out the
cause of CamiOla's agitation, and Mr..
Black was a lawyer. The will was cor
rectly made; the witnesses were found.
Why Benjamin Baker had put it in his
hat lining no one knew. He often car
ried papers there. Perhaps he meant to
leave it in safe keeping, but he died very
suddenly with hat and coat on, as he was
about to drive out. But the will was
found and was all right. Nothing had
yet been taken away. The money was
refunded to the purchasers of the old
furniture.
The young nephew had tolerable
legacy, and made no fuss whatever, and
one day Camiola entered the homestead
as its mistress. 1t was a strange ending
to her love story, she thought. She was
here at last, but howe 1t almost seemed
to her as though some spiritual union
had taken place between her soul and
Ben's; and in the keeping-room, on a peg
near the door, she hung his coat and
hat. There they hung always, and to
the stranger who sees them, and looks at
the mild old lady rocking in the great
chair as she sews or knits, it seems as
though the master of the house were
within-up stairs somewhere, perhaps.
1t often seems so, too, to Camiola. -Ihe

ARRESTED AT THE ALTAR.
Detectives Break Up a Wedding Party
at Buffalo.

A merry wedding party was broken up at
Buffalo, N. Y, in a highly dramatic man
ner. Pretty Linnie Hyman was to have
married John Brennan at the residenc, of
Frank Geiger, on Kehr street. The guests
bridemaids best man and the clergyman were
all there. AS the blushing bride stood up be-
side the smiling groom and the minister got
all ready for business two special detectives
entered the bridal parIor and then and there
arrested the groom on charge Of forgery, to
the great CONSERVATION of the assembled
guests. He was removed to the station-house
and locked up The bride went nearly frantic
in the confusion that followed the appearance
of the detectives. She now lies i'll with fever.
Brennan is a man of about thirty years Of
age, we'll known, and pleasant talker. He
was employed by William Brennan, pro-
duce dealer. The younger Brennan has for
some time been swindling his employer by
forging orders for grain to be used on the
employers farm.

UNTIL TOMORROW.

II you have task TO do,
That seems as if you'd n'er get through,
Believe me, that the wisest way
Is TO begin the task to-day.
If you have a word unsaid,
Spoken, would make one comforted,
GO find that one and say it straight
It is word that cannot wait.
II you can do a kindly deed,
Can heal the sick or hungry feed,
Do not leave the deed undone
Until you see to-morrow's sun.
But angry word, and selfish way,
Ire best put off another day.
And then another day again,
Postpone what gives another pain.
So keep the hasty speeches down,
And make a smile chase back the frown,
In silence let i'll temper lie,
For an eternal by and by.

An I-lustriOus Ancestry.

The little son of Mr.. Clymer, instruc-
tor of English at Harvard, is remarked
by the curious in such things as being
descended from no less than five signers
of the Declaration of Independence. HIS
mother, who was of the Livingston
family of New York, represents three of
the signers. His father is grandson of
the late Admiral Shubrick, and a lineal
descendant of that George Clymer, OF
Pennsylvania, whose name appears at the
bottom of both the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution of the
United States.-Bost0n Gazette.

ALITTLE GIRLS DEATH.
The Care of a Household Was Too
Much for Her.

After the family had retired the other
night, Edith McNeery, fourteen years old,
of Cannon Falls, Mimi, got up and went
into another room to a bureau drawer. TAX
ing out an unloaded revolver, she put in two
cartridges and came back into the room,
where she had been sleeping with two
little sisters who were both awake
She told them TO cover up their
heads, which she did when she put the re-
volver to her ear and sent ball through her
brain. killing herself instantly. Her mother
died two years ago, and since that time she
has had to look after the home and a large
family of children, being the oldest girl.
This burden was too heavy for such young
shoulders, and was the cause of her suicide.

hurry. She put out the light. Then she
felt for her shawl, in which the hat lay
folded, and took it in her arms. A GER
tain perfume that was always connected
with Ben's hair was family noticeable
an odor Of bergamot. 1t brought the
past back wildly. 1t almost seemed as

And for hours she lay awake-the

face and fell asleep at last, and dreamed
Of young Ben and his perfumed hair,
and heard him once more say that they
would be happy together.
She awakened suddenly, in the early
dawn, and came back to herself. She
dressed herself; smoothed her prim
bands of hair; tied on her black apron
with pockets; pinned the cushion and
the sheath of scissors at her side; and
then looked at the hat. OF course it
must be hidden away; and she spread a
newspaper on the bed in which to wrap
it, and paused to look at it again.
The inside of the hat presented itself.
The piece of leather which lines the
crown looked curiously thick. Sac
touched it with her hand. Under it was

Large vs., Small Pastures.

Every close observer of animal life
on the farm must have noticed that with
stock i'm the pasture field there are sys-
tematic habits and movements which
are quite regular If uninterrupted by
outside conditions. If the pastures are
large, with diversified physical condi-
tions-hills here, slopes there, and val
leys yonder-we may expect to find the
herd CT flock at this point in the morn
ing. yonder by noon time, and spread
ing over new area later on. Rest and
Illumination also occur at regular peri
DDS during the day. The movements of
the herd seem without leadership and
the body apparently drifts aimlessly,
but there Is far more method in it on
the whole than some people suspect.
To the casual observer all this will make
little impression even if clearly pointed
out, but the philosophical stockman be-
lieves that each action Of every mem
Der of the herd is significant and seeks
to gather its meaning and out of the
knowledge construct rules for the man
agement of his animals. First of all he
sees the Importance of supply of water
ut point or points convenient to the
herd and in such abundance that there
need be no tedious waiting for the slak-
ing of thirst. Again, he will realize the
Importance OF trees in, the pasture, in
the shade of which the animals rumi-
nate and digest what they have gath
cred. breeders Gaz ette

The secret of beauty is health. Those.
who desire to be beautiful should do all
they can to restore their health if they
have lost it, orsto keep it If, theys have
it still. No one can lay down specific
rules for other people in these matters.
The work which one may do, the rest he
must take, his baths, Ms diet, his exer-
else, are matters for individual con-
sideration; but they must be carefully
thought of and never neglected. AS a
rule, when a person feels we'll he looks
we'll, and when he looks Ill he feels ill.
There are times when one can guess,
without looking in the glass, that the
eyes are dull and the skin is notified.
This is not "a case for something in a

that advertisements praise so highly.
To have fresh complexion and bright
eyes, even 20 have white hands and a
graceful figure, you must be we'll.

with it are the true secrets of beauty
