1t was getting late. Tho streets we're full of
people going to the theaters John Ford,
dreading to go to his dark, cherries lodgings
drifted half unconsciously along with the
crowd. Occasionally he would stop to look
into an unusually handsome window. Eyery-
thing around him only served as a reminder Of
the time when he was young and happy and
had good friends. All, how pitiless the world
seemed! There were happy families passing
and repassing at his very elbow, men with their
wives, fathers with their daughters, young fell
lows with their sweethearts, while out in
the street beyond those still more fortunate
rolled by in their carriages-all chatting
all happy, yet all unconscious of poor
John Ford, unloved and alone-an outcast
from the world. All at once he found himself
in front Of brilliantly lighted entrance. Car
riages were drawing up and dischsrging their
elegantly dressed occupants and people were
going in in knots Of two and three. II was the
Metropolitan Opera House. He looked up at
opera ''Tannhauser." He had not been to the
theater in years and he was passionately fond
Of music. Why should he not go in? sud-
den impulse bsde him enter and he obeyed.
Not having the money to sit down stairs, and
possessing no dress suit, he bought a seat for
one Of the upper galleries. When the first view
OF the house had burst upon his eyes il seemed
to him that he had never seen it look more
lovely. All New York was there, and he was 10
| situated that he could see the luxurious boxes
and their dainty occupants, tier after tier Of
lovely faces, blended color and flashing jewels,
| relieved here and there by the conventional
evening dress Of the gentlemen, while over the
whole scene Thousands Of blazing lights twin
kied, clothing everything in their white, daz.

The hum Of conversation and the sound oil
laughter In the boxes greeted his ear like IN
old friend. The time Was when it had all beer
familiar to him, only he had always been down
stairs then: Tho peculiar rafting sound pro

WHY PEOPLE MARRY.
Some Queer Reasons Advanced by Diff

Some Queer Reasons Advanced by Diff
 fersnt People.
 Though it is very common to reproach old bachelors with their celibacy, and to pity old maids as if single blessed ness were a misfortune, says London Tid-Bits, yet many married people have seen it to offer apologies for having en- tered into what some profane wag has called the holy bands of paddock. " One man says he got married to get a houseleePer, another to get rid of bad company.
 Many women declare they got mar ried for the sake of g home; few ac- knowledge that their motive was to get a husband. Goethe averred that he got married in order to be respectable. " John Wilkes said he took a wife ito please his friends" Wycherly, who es- pOused his houSemaid, said he did it to spite his relations"
 4 widow who married a second hus- band said she wanted somebody to con- dole with her for the loss of her first. Another. because she thought a we'd ding would "amuse the children" An other, to get rid of inceSsant impcrtuni- ty from q crowd of suitors.
 Old maids who get married invariably assure thelr friends that they thought they could be more useful' as wives than as spinsters. Nevertheless Quilp gives it as his opinion that nine-tenths of all persons who marry. whether wid' oyys or widowers, spInsters or bachelors, do so for the sake of getting married.

SUMMER SLEEP OF ANIMALS.
The Hot Season spent in a State of In
 activity.

The Hot Season spent fin a State of In
 activity.
 Many animals pass the cold season of the year in sleep, while the similar phenomenon of summer sleep is known in serpents and crocOdiles of tropical regions. Even in the temperate zones, it appears. there are reptiles and amphibious animals that spend the hot days in sleep. According to Dr. Franz Werner, these animals will be seen in July and August in nOticeably fewer numbers than during the spring; and search will reveal them, in a condition very similar to sleep, hidden under stones, brush or leaves, or in the edges of marshes and ponds. The frogs sit huddled together and make no attempt to flee Lizards and salamanders lie almost motionless, with their tails over their heads: and snakes are coiled in spirals. with the head concealed Un- like that of the land animals, the sum mer sleep of the water animals is not always at the time of the greatest heat, but occurs only when their usual dwell ing place is dried up. Contrary to gen eraI supposition, reptiles do not always thrive best in hot weather, but many, such as lizards and snakes, succumb b very quickly under a hot sun, and only turtles can bear the exposure for any considerable time. The summer sleep of these animals varies with the char acter Of the hot season, and does not ap- pear at all in animals kept in compar- atively even temperature in captivity.

Major General Schofeld, command ing the army has made his annual re- port upon the operations of the army 10 the secretary Of war. He reviews the Indian disturbance of last winter. He recalls that nearly one half of the of the infantry and cavalry of the army was concentrated al the scene os the disturbance, and then save that this campaign teaches the lesson that the entire military force of the United States would be wholly inadequate to prevent great loss of life and damage to property, if again Indian outbreaks should occur.

FROM HE MOON.

Appearance of ths Earth as Viewed from
 the Lanar world
 It is evident that to lunar observer the disk of earth appears to be equal to about sixteen areas of the solar disk, says the New York Times. The solar disk, as seen from earth, is on an aver age equal to the lunar disk seen from the same point, for, in a solar eclipse, the disk of the moon covers the sun as in an annular eclipse. Therefore the apparent size of the bodies must aver age about equal in size to terrestrial observer. Again, the solar disk will appear to the lunar observer just equal .to what it seems to be when seen from earth, because the distance from the sun to the moon averages equal to the distance from the sun to earth. Further more, the diameter of the earth is equal to about four lunar diameters, and of course the area of their disks vary as the square of their radii. and this makes the terrestrial disk about equal to sixteen lunar disks, and, oi course. if the lunar disk is equal to the solar disk at a given distance, then the terrestrial disk will seem to be about sixteen times as great at the same dis tance.
 This enormous disk of earth must be blue in color to the lunar observer. be- cause earth's atmosphere is blue, ana all things seen through it seem blue. Even interstellar space seems blue through this medium. and the unillum' mated parts of the moon cannot be dis tinguished from the space that abuts it. Bright, direct and reflected light is not affected appreciably by its passage through our atmosphere; therefore, stars moonlight and distant illumina- tions are not nOticeably blue from that rauSa

A Joke Misunderstood.

The cynical humor and eccentric saw
ings of Beau Brummel were not always
received by the auditors in the manner
which their originator anticipated or de-
sired. At one time Brummel was MEM
Der of Walters club, in London, which
was then the most noted gambling house
in the metropolis. Among his fellow
members was man named Bigh, whose
eccentricity amounted at times to mild
insanity. One evening the Beau, having
lost a considerable stake, affected in his
farcical way very tragic and suicidal
air, and cried out, Waiter, bring me a
candlestick and a loaded pistolr'
Upon which BGgh, who was sitting
opposite to him, calmly produced two
pistols from his pocket, and placing
them upon the table said. s'Mr. Brum-
mel, if you are really desirous to put
period to your existence am extremely
happy to offer you the means without
troubling the waiter" The effect upon
those present may be easily imagined,
for it was apparent to all that the good
natured offer was sincerely meant A
few judicious words from the Beau, now
all seriousness, induced the other to re-
pocket the weapons, but the incident
somewhat da1npened the spirits of the

Honest.

A gentleman who passed the autumn
some fifty miles from Philadelphia pays
tribute to the honesty of the Quaker
lady with whom he boarded. He passed
several weeks at her house, and when
the time came for him to leave he pack
ed up his belonings, paid his bill, and
said good-by, leaving the house by the
stage coach, which, in primitive fashion,
was to take him to the nearest railway
station
The stage stopped for a few moments
at the village postofice while the mail
was made up, and the gentleman sitting
on the box saw his landlady coming
down the street. The driver came out
and mounted to his place, but the
Quakeress made signs to him to wait,
and in a moment she was at the side of
the coach.
Il found this in my dressing table" :"
she said. extending something wrapped
in wisp of paper.
..What is it," the gentleman asked, it
being rather difficult to reach down to
where she stood.
She unrolled the wisp of paper with
the greatest gravity, and showed-a dis
carded quill toothpick.
''Oh. thalk you'll" the gentleman said,
endeavoriTg not to smile. "It is of no
value. Hou may keep it,
"1t isfof no value to me- she respond
ed, wifi unmoved seriousness, and stand
ing upon the step she reached to him the
wisp of paper.
There was manifestly nothing to do
but to take it, and so the ridiculous
scene was ended by the gentleman's
pocketing the quill, and thanking the
bringer as gravely as if it had been

The following circular has been sent
to various persons in The Da1les Which
is self-explanatory
Complaint has been made to this
board that trees ON property owned by
you on your place are infested with the
San Jose scale. The scale is very dam
gerous to the life of not only fruit trees.
but shade and ornamental trees and
shrubs as well, and if not promptly
checked will spread itself over the entire
country. This is to officially notify you
that something must be done, either by
cutting down and burning up the the
trees thus infested, or by destroying the
pests; This can be done by the prompt
and thorough use of the washes recon-
mended by this board.
The following remedy is recommended
being cheap, simple, easily procured, and
effective:
,.Take one pound of American or Bab-
bits concentrated lye and dissolve In
two and one-half gallons of water. Add
one-half pound of rosin. Use hot.'
This strength of wash, which should
be applied hot, by means of spray
pump, ought not to be used after the
fruit buds have commenced to swell.
Trusting that this will receive your
prompt attention, l am

lid SO that he viii not suffocate. and the
cover is screwed down tight. The build

removed and the bandage loosened, so
that 1t can be easily removed. There is
q horrible groaning and clanking of
chains, and suddenly the altar, which
has been saturated with harmless chem
1cals, blazes up, and the bandage is re-
moved from the neophyte's eyes.
AS he raises himself up in the coffin
provided he has nerve enough left-he
sees about the room two or three skele-
tons, which have been rubbed with phos-
phorus and glow vividly in the dark
ness. They are rugged with pnneys and
ropes, and slowly they raise their bony
fingers and point them at him, while a
supulchral voice bids him get out of the
coffin. With a show of courage, not at
all warranted by his feelings, he obeys.
A single taper is lighted, and he sees in
the dim ray several masked figures in
white robes standing about him The
cold. clammy body of a dead snake is
then put in his hand, and he is made to
swear upon it that he will keep the Sc
crets of the order to his dying day, and
defend them with his life if necessary.
