Wanted To- Die.

At 2 o'clock the other afternoon Off
Ger Sam Allen, of San Francisco, found
Louis Styeh, a negro, looking at his life
blood flow from two CHASTITY wounds on
each wrist, at Gers lodging house a:
the southeast corner of Stockton and
Pacific streets, SAYS the Chronicle.
The man was taken to the receiving
hospital.
Styeh vas a cook on the steamer Aus
tralia, and on February 10 last was at
Honolulu, where he had trouble with
his walters. He went ashore and on
going aboard again was assaulted by four
of his Uen, who had waited for him in
the dark. He had originally gone
through the world with only one eye.
but when the quartet OF assailants had
finished with him he was entirely
sightless and the galley saw him no
more.
Deep insult was added to brutal in.
jury when he was arrested for assault
and taken ashore, going TO the Queens
hospital, where no remained two
months. There was N hope for him
and he finally drifted to San Francisco,
but being blind he could get no employ
ment. and his money soon disappeared,
leaving him on the verge of starvation.
AS q last resort he secured a razor and
slashed himself across the wrists, sew
ering the arteries. When discovered
he was holding his hands over a basin,
fearful Of splashing blood over the fur
~ni:ure, and doing his best to die with
dispatch. ~ will make a better job of
it next time" he said doggedly as he
was being conveyed to the hospital.

An Interrupted Poker Game.

The death of Col. Len A. Harris re-
moves a picturesque figure from the
haunts OF men about town. Col. Har-
ris Was a soldier from his boot-heels to
the crown of his head. and a good one,
too. When Buell. left him at Fort Nc
Cook, the ramparts of which had been
mounted with quaker" guns to con-
ceal from the enemy the withdrawal Of
The Union forces, he never expected to
see him again. and when the Colonel
turned up ut headquarters Bull looked
up Mt him from his writing and said.
grimly: You here? l never expect
ed to see you again." II got here"
was Col. Harris terse reply.
"a half dozen officers" said one of
Col. Harris aides last night, ''were sit
ting in q house in Fort McCook play
ing poker. Confederate forces were
all about US. but they had not been
troublesome, the sight Of the big wood
en- guns on the ramparts making them
lay quiet. While we were interested
in the game the enemy were interested
in those guns, and just when a dealfor
a fat jackpot had been finished n TWEEN
ty-pound shell came crashing through
the roof Of the house and into the roc
where we were playing. 1t put out
the lights, aud every one dashed for
the door. / captured the stakes and
thrust them into my pocket. Outside
all was confusion. but Col. Harris got
the handful of men safely out, and aft
err a hard ten days march. during
which none of us took oil our clothes,
we joined Buells army. Tho first
thing / did was to hunt for a bath. aud
/ aud Capt. - found me As he un-
bottoned his coat for the first time in
ten days he thrust his hand into his in
side pocket and pulled out five cards.
He looked at thoni in amazemcnt, and
then remembered that he must have
thrust them there when the rebel shell
broke up u game of poker. You'll
have to give me tho pot he said, rs
he skinned his hand for here's an
ace-full.' / turned over to him the
contents of the pot. / don't believe a
jackpot was w won under such cir
cumstances before or sincc."-C incin.

Coffee in LapIand.


| was taken into one of the Laps
huts, says q writer in an English
journal. in the center a wood fire
vas burning brightly on some stones,
and at first the smoke was very uu-
pleasant, but soon one became accus-
toned to it and it served the useful
purpose of driving away the winged
plague which had followed us all day.
The man proceeded to boil some
coffee, which in a few minutes was set
before me, together with n wooden
bowful of reindecr's milk. The coffee
was not very palatable. but under the
circumstances worse fare would have
proved acceptable. The milk | found
to be TOO thick and rich to drink much
of.
A sugar loaf vas produced from be-
meath some cloths in a corner, and n
few pieces were chipped off and hand
ed to me. | accepted them with my
politest smile, accompanied by a bow;
but when 1 proceed to sugar my coffee
in the orthodox style the action caused
much amusement to the juvenile Laps,
who roared with laughter, and APP
peared to enjoy the fun immensely.
l found that ought 10 have eaten
the sugar SEPARATELY, as they did, and
they evidently considered my way of
sweetening coffee inexpressibly funny.
Cakes were then served to each one.
These were about the size Of n penny
bun, but of the consistency Of putty or
dough, which they somewhat resem-
bled in appearance. Sour cream was
eaten with them. So nasty were they
that a mouthful gave me ''quite a turn"
and | was glad to smuggle the remain
der underneath the rug on which | was
sitting. / did not like to throw it
away, for fear of offending my hosts.
but trusted to the sharp noses of tho
dogs to get me out of the difficulty.

Heat and the Growth Of Hair.

1t is generally understood hat the
hair aud nails grow faster in hot
weather than in cold; but perhaps few
are aware that any temperature a
impart so great q stimulus to the growth
as Col. Pejevalsky. the Russian traveller.
says the central Asian heat did during
his journey in those regions in the sum-
mer of 1889. In June the ground aud
the air became excessively hot-so
great indeed as to render travel in the
daytime impossible. Within a fort
night after this oppressive weather be-
gan it was noticed that the hair aud
beard of all the party was growing
with astonishing rapidity, and. strang-
est Of all, some youthful Cossacks,
whose faces were perfectly smooth, de-
veloped respectable boards within the
short period Of twenty days.

The Antiquity of t'reemasonrv.

Freemasonry is an institution of such
antiquity that its origin and earliest
history are enveloped in a daze ofdoubt,
says the Illustrated American. Modern
research among its archives has failed
to definitely determine the date OF the
organization Of the craft, there being a
difference Of many centuries between
several periods during which it has been
thought by various students to have
been established. Some declare that
the masons engaged in building Solo
mons temple formed an order from
which the present order is descended;
Others claim still greater antiquity for
it, and advance arguments tending to
prove that the pyramids OF Egypt were
raised by the fathers Of Freemasonry.
Well authenticated manuscripts show
that the fraternity existed in England,
in the old city of York, formerly called
by the Romans Eboracum, as long ago
as the tenth century, and it is recorded
that the Saxon king Athelstan granted
o charter to Masons, empowering them
to hold an assembly once q year.
