Where They Pinched.
There is q good many people who
prefer old things to new things,
sometimes, perhaps, Without as good
reason for the preference az an old
begger once showed in the matter Of
shoes.
This man called at the house of q
lady and begged for a pair Of shoes
She gave him a nearly new pair Of
her husband which he had laid aside
for some reason. A day or two after
ward the beggar returned.
Num-" he said, cant you give
me a pair of shoes-some old ragged
ones?"
But" said the lady, II have JUST
given you an entirely new pair; You
have them on now"
"Yes'm," he said, but there's the
trouble. They're SO new, you seo

An Obliging Ex-Fiancee.

The story is told by a fashionable
West End London) jeweler. Some
five years ago a very interesting
young engaged couple-both she
and he being well known in society
at the Unrestricted a wedding ring
in his shop. A month later q para
graph appeared in the Morning Post
announcing that the marriage would
not take place, and the same week
the young man brought back the
ring and exchanged it for a pearl
scarf pin. The day before this story
was told me, and several years after
the above incident took place, the
same young man appeared in the
same shop and again asked to see
some wedding rings. While he was
choosing one, who should walk in
but the lady and for whom he had
selected the first ring. She is now
married, has three children, and
came to purchase a scarf pin for her
husband. She and her first love
created one another apparently for
the first time since her marriage, and
she helped him to choose the second
wedding ring.

Hypnotism Not Reliable.

Hypnotism seems to he generally
regarded by English medical men as
a neurotic epidemic. It's possible
value as an aid in the cure of drunk
ards has done as much as anything
else to attract favorable attention
to it; but DR.. Norman Kerr, whose
experience in the treatment of in
ebriates is extensive, has given his
testimony against it. Since he dis
cussed the subject some time ago be-
fore the British Medical Association,
in a paper entitled 'Should Hypno-
tism Have a Recognized Place in Or
binary Therapeutics" he has been
confirmed in his distrust of the al
legged hypnotic cure. In republish-
ing his paper he says his own expert
ence, with that of his professional
colleagues, who, like himself would
have been glad to find in hypnotism
a safe and reliable remedy, has
shown him that hypnosis is not re-
liable, and is, especially from it's pos
sible after consequences, unsafe. He
says he keeps his mind open for FUR
Their evidence, but in the meantime
he regards the alleged advantages of
hypnotism as far outweighed by it's
disadvantages and dangers.

Peculiar Manitoba Indians,

In Manitoba and the western part
of British America, where l spent
some time this summer, I came in
contact with very peculiar r ace of
Indians. They belong to no particu-
artribe, and in fact to no particular
race, having Indian, Scotch and
French blood in their veins. They
are the descendants of the. old Scotch
agents of the Hudson Bay company
and their Indian wives, with dash
of French blood from the Canadian
woodsmen. Their hair is frequently
of a light brown and wavy. They
speak bad French, and all have the
broad Scotch burr. They hold them
selves aloof from the fulfblooded
Indians and the French half bloods
and are the best carriers to be found,
for no other Indians can compare
with them as runners. Sixty miles q
day is no uncommon journey for
them. By constant intermarriage
they have preserved and strengthened
their peculiarities, and consider them
selvesa seperate tribe. They number
about 5,OOO,-Winnipeg Interview.

The Wedding Ring in His Boot

The Wedding Ring in His Boot.
A good story reaches the London
Woman from the somewhat out-of-
the-way region of Petaluna. Quite
recently all was going merrily at a
very interesting wedding in the town
until the bridegroom was called up
on to produce the Wedding ring.
In vain he felt in his trousers peck
ct for the missing trife. Nothing
could be found except a hole through
which the ring had evidently fallen
into the high boot which is affected
by young men of that county.
What was he to do?
"Take your boot off," said the
parson. The suspense and silence
were painful. The organist, at the
priests bidding, struck up a "volun-
tary." 's4~
The young man, sitting ON the al
tar rails, removed his boot, the ring
was fcund-also 9 hole in the stock
ing, which led the worthy divine to

Riches Have Wings,

Statistics are worth something to
setpeople tothinking. Some curious
inquirer has ascertained by careful
investigation that out of the men
who are worth 500, 900 in this coun-
try only twelve and a half per cent.
started in business with $4,000
and over, while eighty-five per cent
started without q dollar, and &C
quired their wealth by their own en-
ergy and efforts. Of all those who
inherited 100000, or more, only
fifteen per cent. possessed that
amount twenty-five years after re-
ceiving it, and frequently those in
heriting the largest fortunes are the
first to be reduced to pinching power
ty. If the rich are growing richer
and the poor are growing poorer, as
some Of the talking reformers assert,
it is SINE consolation to know that
the same fellows are not rich for
many generations. 1.-THE father lives
in clover, the son is very apt to have
to shovel dirt on the streets for his
bread and butter, and the very re-
formers, who are making Rome howl
with their dire prophecies of what is
going to happen, have only to begin
to ''hustle" to get some of the cash
the rich ones are losing. About the
only way to keep property in the
family for generations, is to buy q
good farm with it, take good care
oft, keep good stock omit, and hand
it down to the boys on condition
that they keep it in good condition
and will it to the next generation.
Money and loose property get away
so easily that it requiras q sharp
man to keep them intact, and it
takes right good business ability to
keep increasing it's value. Farms do
not pay ten or fifteen per cent. inter-
est just now, but they are solid
property which thieves cannot steal.

Bill Vests Head.

Tho remarkable career Of old Tom
tarr, the notorious Cherokee despe r
ado, which has lately appeared in
print, recalls an incident in his life,
the plainest statement of which
sounds like a romance. Bill West
was old Toms brother-in-law, and
the most powerful man of his day
in the Cherokee Nation. A blow
from his fist was as deadly as Win
chester bullet. With this formidable
weapon he killed several men, and g
law was passed declaring Bills fist
a deadly weapon. Old Tom and Bill
had been close companions, but one
day they quarreled over the division
OF the spoils of a plundering expedi-
ton. West struck ut Starr, but the
willy savage lodged the blow and at
the same time deity placed a long keen
knife blade between the formers ribs.
This was the tragic end of Bill West.
At this time there was a, reward of
$4,000 offered for Vests head and
$4,000 for that of Starr. Old Tom
was in need of ready cash and deter
mined to run the risk of losing his
own head by trying to secure the
reward on that of his brother -in-law.
So, after killing West, he cut. off his
head, put it in gunny-bag and
proceeded to Tahlepuah, the capital,
where he presented his CORY charge
to the Chief, with proof that it was
the right head, and demanded the
reward. The Chiefand the Treasurer
are both old men, and they knew Old
TOMS reputation. They also knew
that the reward on Vests head was
only $4,000, while that for Old Toms
was $4,000. But Starr was there
himself and meant business. At the
muzzle of a six shooter the Treasurer
forked over the $4,000, and Old
Tom departed with the money, to
the delight and establishment of the
people of Talequah, without killing
d singleqerson.

Man.
Notes and Queries.
Reason and experience are agreed,
/ believe, as to the senselessness and
mischievousness OF this supposed
remedy. But superstitions die hard
Not many weeks ago, in the course
of a walk, fell in with a fish hawker
and walked most of the way home
with him-an old soldier who had
been in India, and an intelligent fel-
low in this way. He told me that,
not two hours before, he draws q
little boy out OF a milldam, not in
time to save his life, for the poor
child had expired in his arms. He
did not tell me, what learned from
the report of the inquest, that he
had held the child up by the heels
'to let the water run out" thus
destroying his last chance of life.
One would have thought that such a
man might have learned from others,
or have judged tor himself, what a
mischievous thing he was enacting.
One beautiful morning last year
was on a steamer passing from Sa.
lonica to Mount Athos when the cry
was heard, "Man overboard!" The
ship was stopped and somewhat
clumsily put about. 1t seemed to
me a full quarter of an hour before
we got back to the man, O monk OF
Mount Athos, somewhat touched in
the upper story it was said, who had
thrown himself over but found a
SOLDERING effect in the fresh, cold wa
ter, for he was keeping himself afoat
with little effort and was in no sort
of immediate danger. A boat was
lowered to pick him up, and it might
have been thought that nothing
more was needed in the case than to
bring him in and get him out of his
wet clothes, which operation, by the
way, was very publicly performed
when they got him on deck
But as the boat brought him along
side / saw that he had been placed
with his head in the bottom of it,
and his heels hanging over the side.
It was the orthodox thing to do, so
I supposed, and carried out de rigu-
eur, and the poor dotted fellow sub.
mitted in meekness, though in q
good swimmer, as he evidently was,
natural instinct must have asserted
itself on the instant of the plunge,
and probably he had not swallowed
mouthful of water. So they did in
the days of the great Rameses, 400
years B. C. The sculpture on the
wall of the Ramesseum at Medinet
Abu, representing his famous battle
on the Orontes, shows, among other
Incidents, a general of the hostile
force, whom his soldiers have drag
ged out of the river and are holding
up ignominiously by the heels. Thus
we have much over 8, 900 years for
the practice. When, I wonder, did
prehistoric man first misapply his
thinking faculty in this direction?

A Mixed Collision.

A drummer for Buffalo house had
observed that he meant to buy an &C.
cident insurance policy, but forgot it
when the agent for Wisconsin wind
mill replied:
II had little experience that way
about ten years ago, and since got
well prefer to travel on my shape,
watched over more or less by Prov
idence."
Of course we all wanted to hear the
particulars, and he kindly continued:
cit was on the Illinois Central. /
got an accident policy in Chicago,
and started out feeling that I had
done the correct thing. Six hours
later, just as the porter was making
up the first berth, we struck a horse
on the track and halt the train went
into the ditch.
-'You were in the half?" queried one
Of the group.
"Of course. Our car turned COM
pletely over and fell or rolled down a
bank twelve feet high.
"And all the passengers were killed
or hurt?"
"No, sir; not person was killed,
and l was the only one out oftwenty
who was hurt. / had my skull tract
ured, my leg broken, five teeth knock
ed out and q foot smashed, and not
another person could show a scratch"
''How do you account for it,"
II was the only one with a policy"
"But that couldn't account for it. :"
Well, then, all the others had just
accepted and were reading tracts just
handed them by rowing evangelist.
I didn't take one."
"But that wouldn't explain it,
either" persisted the other.
"Oh, well, then, l had just called q
chap with whom I was playing euchre
a liar, and think he and and the
collision got mixed up. However,
there was a mistake in the date of the
policy, and Igotno benefit, and want
nothing more to do with such insur-
ance. Makesa policy holder too
reckless with his mouth. New York

then their weight lurched her from
side to side. The scuttle to the fore
castle was secured, the matches all
fnst, and the boards over the cabin
skylight had been nailed. We heard
them pulling and hauling, however,
and every moment was an anxious
one. They wrenched the water butt
loose and rolled it around the deck,
and six cages ofparrots were broken
up in no time and the birds were
killed.
1t was q full hour before the apes
Quoted down, and from thence to
daylight we caught few winks of
sleep as we watched and waited.
When day broke and we could see
through the cabin side lights, the
scene on deck was one of desolation.
Every running rope had been pulled
down, gpeat holes had been gnawed
in the sails, and whatever they could
break up was broken. They were
still at it. Some of them were even
gnawing at the deck planks. 1t was
clear that if left uninterrupted they
would ruin the schooner above board,
and so we raised q great shout to
draw their attention. 1t succeeded
to charm. It wasn't five minutes
before they had wrenched the boards
off the skylight. The sash was a
heavy one and the panes small, and
even when they crowded upon the
sash to the number of fifty it bore
their weight. Holding my revolver
close to one ofthe panes fred three
shots, and this cleared them off.
From the great chattering above We
knew that three of the gang had been
killed or badly hurt. They tried it
again in about five minutes, nnd
now we used both revolvers and
peppered four or five more. From
that time ON they kept clear of the
skylight, but we knew they were
watching the doors.
One each side of the companion
way was pane of glass over an
opening four inches wide by twelve
long. l smashed out one and
Thomas the other, and we began
shouting. The crowd made at US
seeming to be perfectly reckless, and
several were shot as they rugged at
the barrels of our rifles. In halt an
hour we had the decks covered with
dead and dying, and the beasts be-
gan to show signs of being demon
allied. An old gray head, who had
been concealed behind the foremost,
finally peered out, and put a bullet
into his head. He fell over with O
scream, and with that every ape
that could move sprang overheard
and made for the shore. We waited
a while before leaving our. quarters,
but reached the deck to find that
they had departed for good. There
were forty-two dead apes on the
schooner, and we finished six who
were badly wounded. Our boat had
grounded on smaller island half q
mile away, and after we had recover
ed it we got the chaps who had been
in the traps SO long. They exhibited
the greatest ferocity, but we're hand
led the worse for it, and we finally
got them safe aboard. Then we
turned to the schooner, and it took
us two full days to get her in sailing
shape. From the hour the beasts
left the craft we did not catch sight
of single one again during our
stay.
