Point. About watermelon..

The finest watermelon in the world
are to be found in Galveston, and are
served in first-class restaurants and
special cafes in place of ice cream. There
it is the regular thing for young men to
take their girls out for watermelon. The
fruit is ever sliced, but served in halves,
no matter how large the melon or how
small the eaters. Each of the halves are
served on a platter, and the only eating
utensil is a silver dessert spoon.
Salt, sugar and nutmeg are provided
for the convenience of those who use
seasoning. The same usage prevails in
first-class restaurants in Georgia and
other melon centers. Outside of these,
the go-as-you-please style predominates.
The leaders of fashion, or the quality,
usually fix the local styles -Pittsburg

Lightning recently struck the flagpole
on the Eastford hotel, at Oxford, Md, a
large building which was formerly the
Maryland Military and Naval academy,
and set fire to the cupola, causing much
CONSERVATION among the guests and
threatening to destroy the house. This
would have been the case but for the
rain which was falling at the time and
the efforts Of the proprietor, who used
milk as an extinguisher, it is stated, in
accordance with an old superstition that
water will not put out fire caused by
lightning. bow long this antique fall
lacy has clouded the minds Of the super-
sttious is not known, but that it has
come down from remote times WIN hard
ly be questioned.
The hotel proprietor, believing that
water would not ave his premises, was
at his wits end for an effective extin-
guisher until he noticed a milk wagon
filled with cam of the tactical fluid stand
ing just at the moment in front of the
house, a ready-to-hand method of saliva
ton, providentially supplied. Selling
n of the cans the nonbeliever in water
lugged it to the top of the hotel and
poured it out on the lightning kindled
flames, and then went back for further
supplies, until he had the satisfaction Of
seeing the last spark smothered and the
burning hotel saved.-Baltimore Sun.

W PHASES TO n.

Our morning contemporary volunteers
the assertion that the possibility OF Sen
ator Sherman on the silver question was
misstated in an editorial in THE LEADER
last Saturday. We had for our authority
the Associated Press report of his speech
as published in the Denver Republican.
Having reached this point the Sun goes
on to define Mr.. Sherman's position in
these words: He tavors the purchase
OF all the silver produced in the
United States at the bullion value IN
the worlds market aud the issue of silver
certificates or circulation notes equal to
such bullion value. against all silver not
required for coinage by the business in
terests OF the country. HIS position is
plain. Everyone can understand it He
says the people of the United States
should only pay the mine owners what
the silver is actually worth in the mar
kets of the world. and that the people
should have whatever profit there is in
the coinage of silver. He asks the ques-
ton plainly-wby should the farmer. me-
chanic and merchant help pay 81 for rs
cents worth of silver"
1t would be interesting to know in how
far this differs from the position Of Seua
tors Carey and Warren. They both claim
to favor the free coinage of the silver pro,
duced from the mines of the United
States. Upon what basis would they
have it coined? Is the present ratio oil
to ! too high and would it suit them bet
ter to have it changed to % to l? Or on
the other hand are they believers in Sher-
mans "shos legged silver dollar
theories and would they have the
government make the profit represented
by the difference between the bullion
and coinage value of the silver If gold
is the standard of value and measured on
that basis, a silver dollar only represents
an actual value of seventy cents, then isn't
the government stamp OF 100 ccnts' a
naked and indefensible lie2
On the other hand. if they favor the
government paving to the mine owners
the coinage value of the silver. what ex-
cuse have they to offer for paying the
mine owners the premium with no CORE
spending benefit in sight for the rest of
the people2
The Sun might exercise its ingenuity
in enlIVhteniug its readers.

Judge Bacon has had before him in
the Bloomsbury county court an action
of an unusual character, the subject Of
dispute being an artificial leg. The case
for the plaintiffs was that the defendant.
Mr.. DEAFNESS, a railway clerk, was sup
piled by them with an artificial leg,
the price of which was twenty-five
POUNDS, one-half of which was paid
when the limb was delivered. At
the time the order was given the de-
PENDANT was suffering a great deal in
consequence of his having for a long
time worn a boys leg.
1t was alleged that the leg was a bad
6t, and for hat reason he refused to pay
for it. On cross-examination the plain
tiffs denied having guaranteed that the
leg would last for seven years. The or
binary life of q leg with ordinary wear
and tear would be some years, but how
many they could not say. Defendant,
who appeared in court wearing the leg.
which he offered through his counsel to
remove for his honor's inspection, an
offer which was not accepted, said the
limb was of no use to him, as it hurt
him very much, but he was obliged to
continue wearing it because he had no
other.
He was not a man who could afford a
new leg every year, and he bought this
offending limb on the representation
that he would be able to wear it with
comfort for seven years. Plaintiffs had
altered it once or twice, but still it was
very uncomfortable, and he now asked
to be allowed to give the plaintiffs back
their leg and to have his thirteen pounds
returned His honor thought the leg
was a good fit and gave judgment for the
plaintiffs for the amount claimed, with
costs.-Pan Mall Gazette.

About two miles below the junction,
in this county, a be found a deep hole
of water in Current river, in which q
large turtle, measuring about four feet
across the back, has beer seen at differ
ent times for the last fifty years. Various
plans have been devised and put into
execution to capture the tortoise, but up
to the present time to no avail, as he
seems to be proof against spikes, spears,
gigs, gunpowder and dynamite.
A few days since a hunter residing in
that neighborhood, while passing along
near the river bank, espied his turtleship
basking in the sunshine on the root of a
large oak. Quickly bringing his Win

between the eyes. But judge of his
chagrin and surprise when the turtle, in
stead of tumbling over dead, quietly let
go his hold and swan away as placidly
and u~nconcerned as II he had been
thumped by a gravel.
Upon examination the hunter found
that the ball, after striking the turtle,

CHRISTINE suicide. One ad-
dressed to a brother in Carson City, from
whom she had recently parted, said:
when the train started the tears stood in
my eyes, for l am not quite SO selfish as
people think me to be- talked as | left,
although did not feel like it."
Then she told about the charming moon-
light effects on the trip over the Sierras,
and said that she was awakened from a
beautiful dream as the train jolted along.
The other missive was a brief note to a
girl friend saying that she was lonely and
wanted company. An autopsy showed that
she was in perfect physical health.
So the mystery Of her self slaughter must
remain a mystery for all time.

The HouseHoLoER,s DIFFICULTY.


A Comparison OF the Old Way and the
New Way OF Buying and Selling.
Any householder, whose happiness it
is to pay for the supplies of a family,
must be aware of the extreme difficulty
of getting with any certainty a steadily
good article of almost any sort. 1t is
easier in the case of Injuries, for the
reason that for these the demand is more
limited, the number of purchasers small
err, the number of producers correspond
ingly small and the chance Of tracking
bad work or untruthful statements great
er. But for the things which every one
must have, and which most must have
as cheap as may be, buying is a lottery,
with a miserable prevalence of blanks.
. You can get yirtuous butter for a dol
lar a pound, but the search for eatable
butter at forty cents a pound is a weary
and depressing pursuit. 1t is the same
with the innumerable articles of cloth
ing and materials of clothing. From
the hat that grows gray in a months
service to the shoe soles that will not
stand a days rough tramping, the things
that are turned out in large quantities
for 1.-The million are not trustworthy.
| think the chief reason is that in our
complex and widely ramlned system OF
exchanges the producer and the con-
sumner rarely come into direct relation
with each other. The former rarely
knows, and still more rarely cares, for
the opinion the latter may nave of him,
Of his methods, his character and his
goods. The seller deals today with one
set Of buyers, tomorrow with another,
and so on, and the buyers change their
places of purchase with the greatest fire.

but without success. Finally it was
headed off in front of the postofice. The
animal paused q moment and then
jumped owe the railing of the bridge
into Kenduskeag river. The deer swan
gracefully up stream, with several par
ties in boats and canoes in hot pursuit.
They came up with the animal in a short
time and one party captured it It was

wild animal, and had been seen on the
outskirts of the city earlier in the day
