Tact In Managing the Bows.

A quaint story is told about Master
Tommy Anderson, an old time peda-
gogue. Once he taught school in
Pennington where the boys had driven
out several teachers. He found that
the chief conspirator was a good look
ing, grown up girl, bright, saucy and
proud. The schoolmaster wore his
hair in cue, as was the fashion in
those days. When he was 'doing a
sum-" with his head down, she tossed
his cue back and forth as if it were
toy, much to the amusement of the
scholars. Uncle Tommy said nothing,
but kept up quite a thinking. He
knew if he called out the guilty girl
and punished her the big boys would
rise and carry him out So he adopted
unusual tactics in conducting his
campaign.
He found lot of long hair hanging
up in barn. From this he selected
and smoothed out bunch resembling
a cue, and tied it up nicely with rib
bon. Taking this to the school room
early the next morning, he suspended
it from the peg where the girl always
hung her cloak and hood, then he
commenced to set copies as usual.
When she came in and spied the curl
GUS continuance she looked surprised
and puzzled. Quoth Master Tommy
in mild tone of voice. ''Miss, have
brought that bunch of hair for you to
use as a plaything instead of my cue. :"
The proud spirited girl was Inundated
before the whole school and could not
help crying. Uncle Tommy had won
the victory by stratasfm rather than
by force of arms and had no further
difficulty with his scholars.-Farming-
ton Chronicle.

Snakes as Ratters,

A new method of Kidding steamboats,
of rodents has been successfully tested
on the steamer Sentinel. The young
est son of Capt. Cole was some time
ago presented with a pair of spotted
snakes, which, as they were perfectly
harmless, were deposited in the hull OF
the boat until they could be conven-
lently housed. A few days later a
great commotion was noticed among
the rats, which always infest steam,
boats and barges in great numbers.
While moored at Golionda landing
hundreds of them were observed scam
pering ashore on the handspring and
stern lines. The evacuation continued
all night, and in the morning the cap
tain found both snakes dead, having
been literally torn to pieces by the in
furiated animals, but not one of the
latter 'as found remaining on the
boat. Neva

A Coffin for a COuch.

The girl has at once courted and de-
fed superstition, for while her toilet
appointments, paper knives, etc., are
all in horseshoe shape or have for
handles the left hind foot of rabbits,
she has weird, moon shaped clock
from which the i'll omened cuckoo an
nounces the hours. The most horrible
corner of the room she rarely shows,
for it represents an unfulfilled pur-
pose.
When she furnished the room, she
decided to have a coffin in it, a la
Bernhard. She went to an undertaken.
was measured, selected the style of
casket and then told the undertaken to
have it sent to her boxed so that no
one would know it's contents. The
poor man was as scared as Tam
O. Shanter when he saw the witches at
Alloway kirk. His fair patroness be-
longed to large family, and he knew
he would lose all chance of future pa
tronage if the father got wind of it, so
he went to him and told him of his
daughters strange freak. There was a
breeze in the house that night when
the father gave his daughter the choice
OF his money or her coffin.
That is the reason one corner of her
room has no tenant save a skeleton
and black draped dais which was
to have held the coffin. The girl who
designed this horror breeding room
has been belle for two seasons, and
people seeing her childlike face would
take her for an artless debutante.- Miss

A New STYLE nf Rohheru-

AS the proprietor of the New York egg
and butter store was standing behind the
counter a well dressed stranger came
into the shop. The stranger said, 'tSir,
l noticed in the window sign inscribed.
Fresh eggs, % cents Dozen Now,
think those eggs are not fresh" The
proprietor Of the store, knowing the eggs
to be perfectly fresh, so informed the
stranger, who Immediately offered to bet
$5 note that the eggs were not fresh.
The bet was instantly covered by the
proprietor, and both Laid their S. bills on
the counter. The proprietor Of the store
went to the window, took one of the
eggs, broke it end asked the stranger if
the egg was not perfectly fresh. The
stranger replied, .Yes, but take another,
and you will find that it will be rotten. -
The proprietor willingly complied and
turned his back to the stranger, and
while the storekeeper was reaching for
the egg the stranger reached for the $40
and departed, shaking the 6dst Of the
store from his heels very quietly and cx-
peditiously. The storekeeper being be.
hind the counter was slow in getting out,
but when he did get out the stranger had
disappeared. Detroit Free Press.

p WILKES BOOTHS TRUNKS
They Were Picked Up from . Wrecked
Vessel Below Quebec and Sold.

00Oy W0f0 F1CkoO uOA - "EVVAOsA
Vessel Below Quebec and Sold.
Thomas Casey, typical Irishman OF
60 years or more, stood in front of the
Opera house in Detroit, Mich, intently
studying the show bill that bore the
name of Edwin Booth, who was play
ing an engagement there. He asked a
man who was standing near him if Ed
win Booth was any relation to j.
Wilkes Booth. Being assured that he
was, Mr.. Casey repaired to the hotel to
tell Mr.. Booth the following remarka-
BILE story:
In June, 1865, while Mr.. Casey was
an auctioneer in Quebec, schooner
called the Emma loaded at Montreal
with oil for Nassau. In the cargo
were seven large trunks marked ~.
w. B., Nassau, to be called for" The
schooner passed Quebec, but short
distance below that city storm struck
her and she was wrecked. The crew
and officers were never seen, but the
derelict was picked up by some Quebec
sailors, who claimed salvage.
The goods recovered were put into
the admiralty court to be sold, and
Thomas Casey was the auctioneer to
whom the sale was intrusted. He
opened the seven trunks and found
them filled with rich velvet suits,
jeweled daggers, armors, helmets,
plumes and various other theatrical &C.
cessories. Old letters bearing the adj
dress of 81. Wilkes Booth" and hun
dreds of tickets with the initials 81.
w. B." were also found
The goods were much damaged by
water. For some of them there was
no call, and Mr.. Casey kept them.
The sailors realized $500, and $500 was
deposited to the credit of J. Wilkes
Booth or his heirs Mr.. Casey had
never heard of j. Wilkes Booth.
Away down in Quebec he took but lit
tie interest in the affairs that were
then interesting the American mind,
and he made no effort to find the
owner, who, he then supposed, was
drowned on the Emma, nor had he
any interest in inquiring for Booth S
relatives. In the lapse of time the af-
fair escaped his memory and he did
not think of it again. Casey's endeav-
or to see Edwin Booth, was futile.
The fact that the trunks were con-
signed to Nassau leads to the belief
that j. Wilkes Booth evidently hoped
to escape to the Bahama islands and
there resume his profession, believing,
no doubt, that his offense would be
considered a political one and that he
would be safe in a foreign country.
Casey is a resident of Montreal

Too long
deluded - the unhappy victim Of
catarrh in the head. He's been
told that it can't be cured. Don't
you believe it. 1t can be, and it
is-no matter how bad or of how
long standing. 1t has been done
for thousands by DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. Other so called
remedies may palyiate for a time ;
this cures for all time. By it's mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it conquers the worst
cases. Its makers offer, in good
faith, reward of $500 for a case
of catarrh which they cannot cure.
They are able to pay it. Are you
able to take it?
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness /; offensive breath smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only few of these
symptoms likely to be present at
once. Thousands of cases termi-
nate in Consumption and end in the
grave, without ever having mani
tested all these symptoms. DR..
