Very AbSent-Minded.

There is literary woman in Boston
whose friends often find occasion to
smile over the tricks which her absent
mindedness plays her, and about whom
her daughter tells the following anec.
dote with great spirit
The mother and daughter CHANGED to
be boarding together at a house kept by
a landlady who was most efficient, but
who was peculiarly acrid in disposition.
She was especially out of temper when
from absence of mind the authoress
committed some blunder, and least of
all, could she find patience when her
boarder, as happened every few days,
lost her latchkey.
In order to aid her in keeping this
necessary utensil, the authoress tied to
it yard of bright red ribbon, which
made it most conspicuous object, so
that if it was lost no less often it was at
least more easily found, fact which
was of mitch comfort to the daughter
One morning when the boarders were
assembled at breakfast the landlady,
with peculiarly severe smile, asked:
"Haye any of you ladies lost her
latch-key?" And she held up the I'M
lucky key, adorned with its yard of
red ribbon.
ooh, yes" Mrs. Bank said cheer
fully, chat is mine, but did not lose
it,"
"It was found this morning." the
other answered more severely than be-
fore, Gin the lock outside of the door. "
eyes" the boarder said calmly, Il
knew it was there"
"You knew it was there echoed the
landlady in amazement.
"Why, yes" was the reply "You
see it was late when | came home last
night, and everybody seemed to be in
bed. didn't notice about my key until
l shnt the door and left it on the out
side, and then | thought it was better
than to leave it there to rouse the house
to get the door open"
The entire company regarded her in
silence a moment until it was evident
that she was speaking in perfect good
faith, and that it never occurred to her
to do so simple thing as to open the
door and take the key out of the lock.
Then there was so general and so hearty
a laugh that even the acrid landIady
found it impossible to do anything but
to give the be.ribboned key back with
out another word.

Doctors claim that the eating of
oranges before meals is not near so
beneficial from medical standpoint
as eating them after meals upon a full

from furniture, rub them gently with

if by magic.

tightly at the top with tapes, are most
useful. Let all be distinctly labelled,

Birth Of Blue Grass in Atlnnta.

''Do you know that had it not been
for old General Sherman Atlanta's
residences would not have the many
pretty blue grass lawns in front of
tAem?" The speaker was Colonel
Charlie Furlow of the comptroller
generals office. lie was pointing to
the patches of grass about the capitol
grounds. "We have planted thirty
bushels of, hlne grass seed en~these
grounds. but il will not grow well.
That which is growing is sod, and it
came from down here in the woods
where Sherman's army camped. And
that is where nearly all the blue grass
around Atlanta came from. You see
Sherman fed his horses on hay brought
from the West. The seed from the
hay was scattered all about the woods
and grew and thrivcd in the shade of
the trees. That grass is now acclima-
led, and when removed in the sod it
thriyes. But you see that which we
have planted will not grow. 1t is
truly an i'll wind, etc. Atlanta

4 Lizard for a Wedding Present.

Among Kubus of Sumatra the ten
passion is most prosaically dealt with.
1t would seem that delicate susceptible
ties have but slight chance of develop
ment among so untidy, so thriftless
people. Their lives are seldom marked
by progress; they seem content to go
on their way exactly as their forefathers
and foremothers have travelled
Very simple indeed is the marriage
ceremony. A Kubu youth, having
settled in his own mind his choice, in
terviews the parents of the maiden,
mentioning what ne can offer III return.
If late bargains with the itinerant
trader have been gratifying, he may
have in hand knife, spear, or some
strips of gay c!oth-possibly money, if
he has acted as guide or burden bearer
TO travellers. There may also be dam
mar and beeswax, rare fruits and favor
tie animals for food "a dainty snake or
nimble lizard, all most acceptable in
the eyes of the father and house mother.
Should this queer endowment fund be
satisfactorily large, neighbors are called
together, who arc seated with due for
mality under a tree. The father of the
maiden then publicly announces his
consent to the betrothal, shows the
presents received from the young man,
and expresses his pleasure.

A Movable Boulder.

There has been discovered about half
a mile west Of the Bargytown Lodges, a
twirling stone Of about five tons
weight. II has always been regarded
as n boulder, and from the way it is
poised on the rock beneath it no one
could see why it should not rock.
Hundreds have tried to rock il in vain,
and the surprise Of the man who first
felt it move under strong pressure may
be imagined. 1t moves hard of course,
but it moves, the finder informs us,
round as if it was placed upon pivot.
IL has been carefully examined, and,
while it looks like boulder, several
allege that it must be a ceremo nial
stone set there by some prehistoric race.
This rock creates great interest among
the boulder hunters of eastern Connect
cut.

The KOOrds.

Their women 60 aboutwith uncovered
faces; many of them are distinctly
handsome, with dark raven locks
dragged over their cheeks, bright red
compilations, and large, almost Jewish
noses; but unfortunately they love to
tattoo these otherwise comely faces,
and to wear silver solitaires in their
noses. Their heads are hung with sll
sorts of ornaments, cowry beads and
savage iewelry, and their headgear
generally is weighty and uncomfortable
looking. Over their loose, baggy
trousers they throw a red dress, and in
the Photographic groups we obtained
we find our friends at home are generally
at a loss to determine the sex unless
some babe in arms or other evidence of
maternity settles the question.
The men have for their distinguishing
feature the turban made of checkered
silk, red, yellow and blue, with gold and
silver thread; this is bound round red
cap, and is intinitelymure becoming than
the sheepskin bonnet Of the Persian
peasantry. A mounted Koordish chief,
with his light blue jacket, long flowing
shirt-cuffs, and magnificent things in
the way of daggers, keenly excited my
wife's desire to photograph but before
the camera could be set up he had fled,
and we never saw his like again.
Everything among the Koords points
to a higher state of art than among the
other tribes; stone is largely introduced
into the construction of the houses, red
ornamentations made with henna adorn
the doors and windows, and the con-
struction Of the compound is curious
You enter by low wicker gate, which
is covered with cakes of dung, into a
court-yardj a covered shed contains the
tripod for mast, the black smiths
bellows with double funnel ornamented
at the top with carving, and standing
on feet made to represent birds with
long beaks. Out of this shed you pass
into the family rooms full of great store
cupboards of grain, elegantly shaped
water pots made of clay found close TO
the village, in digging up which the
women are employed; any number of
quaint-shaped copper utensils for boil
ing milk and cooking stand around,
and amid haze of smoke you perceive
women sitting on their launches busily
engaged in watching the pot boiling
for the evening meal.

a PIscAToRlAL WONDER.

An Odd Creature Found In the Sea Of
GaIilee.
The fish known to naturalists as the
ophiocephalus, a species Of which is
found in the Sea Of Galilee. il one of the
oldest creatures that ever SWAN in the
waters of either oriental or occidental
countries. At the approach Of the breed
ing season this finny oddity seeks favor
able place, such as an old root or rock
projecting under the water, and out Of
bits Of seaweed, grass and leaves builds
nest. oval in shape, which for beauty
Of design and elegance Of workmanship
excels the efforts Of the majority Of
feathered nest builders Through fun.
mel like opening in the top Of this oddly
constructed little domicile the mother
fish deposits her eggs, and when the
proper space Of time has elapsed, the nesi
is full to OVERLOOKING with little baby
nest builders.
One Of the most curious traits Of
opiocephalus is her mode Of protecting
her young. When threatened with
danger the little ones are taken into the
capacious mouth of the parent fish and
thus shielded from impending calamity.
There are several varieties Of fish which
do this very same thing. A species Of
catfish, called 'slau-lau," takes its young
into its mouth upon the very slightest
alarm.-St. Louis Republic.
