How Raymond Rescued CoIored Boy
 from Watery Grave.
 A good story, illustrative of the presence of mind of the late John T. Raymond, is told by an old actor. Raymond's company was making one night stop in little Georgia town. The play was one in which the ocean played Q prominent part. The only ocean owned by the managers of the theatre was very old and weak. It had seen much duty and was in a very crippled condition
 To illustrate the rolling of the waves, a number of street gamins were hired to go underneath big blue cloth and bob up and down.
 The play was in it's most interesting part. Raymond was getting off some of his best gags. He was the only actor on the stage, and the audience was uproarious, when an accident occurred that came near wrecking the play.
 Among the "wavesn was a little negro. The space was very narrow under the ocean, and the bobbers got quite warm. This par ticular little negro felt the heat. He removed one by one his habiltments, until his red shirt alone covered his nakedness.
 In the'midst of one of Raymond's best gags the old blue cloth ocean suddenly ripped and broke, and the aforementioned little negro was seen gallantly struggling with the waves.
 Man overboardm cried out Raymond.
 Some of the stage hands, dressed as sailors, rushed ill and threw the little negro a rope. The drowning wave" grabbed an end and the sailors dragged him out. When the au- dience saw the little pickaninny in nothing but his red flannel shirt, they simply roared.
 The little negro was the hero of the town ever afterward.-New York Evening Sun.

Artistic ExasgeratiOn.

Col. Wade, representative from Missouri district, has made for himself quite reputa- ton for artistic exaggeration-andi it takes an artist in this line to attract attention at the national capital Col. Wade wears military coat buttoned close to his chin, giv- ing him much the appearance of preacher. His delivery Is very impressive and, with the unsuspicious, convincing. The colonel would not hesitate to claim that in historic game of draw poker played for coffee beans out at his farm, he drew three cards to a pair of queens and filled out a royal sequence, and no one but an expert would doubt what the colonel said, and even the expert would not question his sincerity. Recently Col Wade took trip down the river and spent few days in quiet Maryland. When he returned he found a constituent from remote part of bis district waiting to see him. The colonel was all affa- bility. He took the Missourian to the house and in the course of lull in the proceedings escorted him to the restaurant A member who sat near Col Wades table heard him re- lating the circumstances of his trip. Out in Missouri" he was saying, "you get no idea of what the world is. You see none of the wonders of nature The east, sir, is some thing wonderful You have heard of the big trees of California! They are nothing no; ing at all, sir-to what saw the day before yesterday. What would you think of an oak tree 295 paces in diametera l paced it of myself would not trust any one else And fishing in the bayl Why, saw one man pull out 5000 fish in day. Fact, sir. They never eat fish there. They use them for fertilizers" And the open mouthed Missourian sat with his eyes bulg- ing from his head, without a sign of doubt or suspicion on his face.-Chicago Herald.

Servants, Tricks fin Persia.

The crafts and wiles of the servants are endless and sometimes exceedingly origi- nal. One of their most common tricks for obtaining leave of absence Is to put on long face and represent the death of @ wife, brother or a child. One of my servants in this way lost his favorite wife, his father, and his darling Htte boy, a chubby, rosy checked child. who had ap- peared once or twice at the legation. On the latter occasion, with eyes suffused with tears, the mourning father requested leave to tarry at the bedside of his sick boy; then came news of the death and permission could not be justly withheld for the funeral ceremonies lasting two days My sympathy in these distressing circumstances was about to take the form of piShkesh, when was informed by another servant who had a grudge against this one that neither wife nor child were dead, but very much alive and in a very healthy condition; and furthermore that the father had, during his absence, been earning fine present, while drawing wages from me, as assist ant at a great entertainment given by a high dignitary. Having fully ascertained the truth of this statement, felt my sym pathy could best find expression by giv- ing the fellow a summary dismissal. But this form of deception was so common as at last to become somewhat "stale, fiat and improbable. "-S. G. W. Ben jamin,

4 Japanese Camphor Factory.

Carphor is made in Japan in this way: After a tree is felled it Is cut up into chips, which are laid in tub, or large iron pot partially filled with water and placed over R slow fire. Through holes in the bottom of the tub steam slowly rises, and heat ing the chips generates oil and camphor. Of course, the tubs with the chips has closely fitting cover. From this cover Q bamboo pipe leads to a succession of other tubs with bamboo connections, and the last of these tubs is divided into two con- partments, one above the other, the divid- ing floor being perforated with small holes to allow the water and the oil to pass to the lower compartment. The upper compartment is supplied with Etraw layer, which catches and holds the camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes to the cooling process. The camphor Is then separated from the straw, packed in wooden tubs, and is ready for market. The oil is used by the natives for illumin- ating and medical purposes.-Sew York Mail and Express. a>,

Cigars for a Royal Rabv.

The baby king of Spain received as New Years gift from Havana, Cuba, a large chest filled with the finest cigars. They were thought to be of chocolate, as they should have been for so small a specimen of royalty, but they were found to be real substantial rolls of weed of the most exquisite kind. The letter from the donor said: "These cigars are made of weeds such as will grow not more than once every twenty years. Let them be preserved, therefore, for the time when King Alfonso XIII will make his first attempt at smoking, which ought not to be made more unpleasant to him by hay ing to smoke an inferior sort of tobacco" Foreign Letter.

Statistics Concerning Beer.

Professor Schwackhofer delivered a lecture recently to the Vienna Hygienic society on the subject of beer. After giving some statistics on the consumption of this beverage, the lecturer went on to describe it's manufacture and aduiteration. The birthplace of beer is Egypt. A pap yrus has been discovered on which a father reproaches his son for lounging about in taverns and drinking too much beer. From the Egyptians the art of brewing descended to the Philippians. While the Romans despised beer, the Germans of the north of Europe fully ap- preciated its good qualities. However, the refreshing draught became more popu- lar in the first half of the Middle Ages. In the beginning only convents obtained the monopoly of brewing beer, but later on the privilege was extended to lay cor porations. In Austria the first brewery was established in Vienna in 1860, and beer soon became the favorite beverage of all classes of society. At present the yearly production throughout the whole world amounts to $500, ,000 gallons; Eng land taking the lead, with about 2, ,0O0,- OOO.-Popular Science News.

Preserrinr Milk in Bulk.

Professor Long, in The Dublin Farmers Gazette, says that Mir. Meyers, of Chris tiania, has discovered a new method of preserving milk sufficiently for conveying it in bulk to English markets, and raises an alarm as to the flooding of this country with milk from Holland also. It Is en- tirely improbable, however, that any per fectly non-injurious preservative has been discovered, all at present in use being more or less harmful Besides, English farmers have before now delivered milk in London at an average of eightpence a gallon all the year round, and would be able to do it again if necessary, poorly remunerative as such price ts.-Chicago Times.

Scarcity of Buffalo Robes.

Much has been written about the ter rible loss of life in the northwest during the blizzard being due to the scarcity of buffalo robes, which contribute the only defense against the rigors of that country. It is true that a buffalo robe or coat is now beyond the reach of those with slender purses, and it is true that for cer- tain purposes the buffalo hide and fur are superior to any others. This leads me to the suggestion that if some of the great cattle kings of the west would give up raising cattle and go into buffalo farming they would find it an immensely profitable business. Not only would every hide obtainable find a ready sale, but the meat would find market in the cities, and the refuse of the carcass could be made into the dozen articles of profit able commerce that tho steer now affords, -Globe-Democrat.

eAReFooTEo AFTER THE COWS.

Tine boys" had come back to the farm, Which all through one's life bears a charm; And though We were all sturdy men, We thought to live over again The days when we hallooed and hooted, And ran down the pasture barefoosed; We stole out of childhood day. And filed it up brimful of play. The pond and the swift slrimming swallow; The wood where the owl used to haIloo-
 Who-ool who-ooi
 The barn full of hay
 Where many day We tumbled down over the moWs; The grass ID the meadow was growing, The cows in the meadow were lowing
 Mo-oo. mO-Oo.
 An, life has no joy
 Like that of boy Running barefooted after the coWsl We ate of the apples that fell From the harvest tree over the well: For never in life could we meet With apples that seemed half so sweet; Nor water had we ever tasted Like that which the spring ever wasted; For God made the vintage uo flow From the winepress of pebbles below. The squirrel so proud of his tail The chipmunk who travels by rail The blackbird, the robin, the jay Each gave us a greeting that day. The pastimes Of boyhood We courted In places where once We had sported And when the old dinner horn hlew We felt the old hunger anew. Twas more like enacting dream, We waded and fshed in the stream, Which somehow looked shallow and small Nor did the old trees seem as tall; Each idol of boyhood seemed shattered. And even the kingflsher clattered. No power can bring back the joys Of childhood to overgrown boys. Not the same was the pond nor the swallow, The wood where the owl used to halloo,
 Who-oo who-oo,
 The barn full of hay
 Seemed smaller that day We tumbled down over the moWs New grass in the meadow was growing Strange COWS in the meadow were lowing
 Mo-oo! mOoo.
 We felt not the joys,
 We were not the boys Who ran barefooted after the cows Fred Emerson Brooks in New York Herald

The Sunday law was Vigorously enforce,

The Sunday law was vigorously enforced
in Baltimore, last Sunday. Barber shops
were closed, people had to black their
own shoes at home or wear them as they
were, druggists could not sell even a
dose of calomel or quinine pill without a
prescription, and the ice cream dealers were
not allowed to send that frozen luxury to
customers for their Sunday dinners. Milk
and ice dealers were excepted. The small
boy, however, continued to operate the nick
el-in-tbe slot machines, and as this was an
automatic violation Of the law perhaps it did
not count. The names of number Of per-
sons who violated the law by washing har-
ness. selling postage stamps, ice cream, can
