Fell from a Roof.

Charles Wiggin, aged about 49, slater
in the employ of Mr.. Bourne, fell from
the roof of a house in the upper part of
the city yesterday, to the ground, a dis
lance of about 80 feet. He was sweep
ing off the roof, preparatory to laying
the slate when tile accident occurred.
DIR. Way attended him. No bones were
broken, but he was badly shaken up and
will probably be laid up for some time.
He lives in Laurel lane. The frequency
of accidents of this kind of late would
seem to suggest the need of additional
precautions on the part of men whose
business calls them on to slippery roofs.

A Promise to Pay that wasn't Good.

A small boy entered Congress street
confectionery store yesterday afternoon,
with visions of sweet-meats galore
shining from his blue eyes. He had

from the promise to pay. But alas
The bill promised to pay to bearer ten
dollars; but not until two years after the
ratification of a treaty of peace between
the Confederate states and the United
States of America The little fellow had
the satisfaction of knowing that he was
not the first person in the world to be
disappointed by one of those bills.

Portland Box pics Of yellow Fever.

About a year ago William West of this
city went to South America on the bark
Archer. From that port he wrote his
mother that he had shipped on the brig
Marshall, Captain Griffin. Then the
mother heard nothing more of him until
in answer to letters Captain Griffin wrote
that before the vessel sailed from South
America West was taken sick and went
ashore. Since then, by the aid of Presi-
dent Kimball Of the Reform Club and
Collector Dow, Mrs. West has learned
from the consul general to Montevidio,
that West died of yellow fever in the
hospital March 2, 1892. Shipping
Master Pearson at that port was devoted
to him until he died.

Fish offal in the Docks.

Much complaint has been made of the
dumping of fish offal into the docks by
the fishermen. Formerly the ferry dock
was the place for much of this dump
ing; but having been driven out of that
the wharves farther up town have been
taken, especially Central wharf. The
health authorities have complained of
the matter and Capt. Began, harbor
master, has been investigating. He finds
that some fishermen put the offal in tubs
during the day and dump it at night. He
proposes to take legal means to stop it
and to psnish those offending.

Bass and Butterfly.

l was fishing for bass one day in a
quiet pool on Ellzhorn creek, near
Frankfort, KY, on the outer rim of
what is known as Gault's bend. A
few yards above where l was stand
ing, knee deep in the water, was a
broad shallow, where the current
rippled over sunken and about ex-
posed rocks-before subsiding in the
deeper waters of the pool. AS !
drew my bait temptingly across the
pool in search of a hungry bass,
noticed a yellow butterfly winging
its Ngzag fight across the shallow
mentioned, and close to the surface
of the water.
When half way across, a small
bass, probably not over a quarter
pound weight, suddenly leaped from
the water, struck the butterfly with
unerring aim, and fell back with a
splash in the shadows. The butter
fly was h:t hard, as it fell dead or
stunned in the stream about three
feet from where the bass had inter
cepted its flight, but unfortunately
the little gladiator failed to recover
his prize, as it floated undisturbed
down into the pool below. Forest

To me II appears probable that
even before the discovery of the
fourth quarter of the globe a sort of
tobacco was smoked in Asia. This
conjecture being mentioned to the
celebrated traveller M. Pallas, he
gave the following answer; THAT
in Asia, and especially China, the use
of tobacco for smoking is more an
cient than the discovery of the New
World. |, too. scarcely entertain the
doubt. Among the Chinese, and
among the Mongol tribes who had
the most intercourse with them, the
custom of smoking is so general, so
frequent. and become SO indispen-
sable luxury; the tobacco purse af-
fixed to their belt so necessary an
article OF dress; the form of the pipes
from which the Dutch seem to
have taken the model of theirs-so
original, and lastly the preparation
of the yellow leaves, which are
merely rubbed to pieces and then
put into the pipe, so peculiar that we
cannot possibly derive all this from
America, by way of Europe, espe-
cially as India, where the habit of
smoking tobacco is not so general,
intervenes between Persia and China.
May we not expect to find traces Of
this custom in the first account of
the voyages of the Portuguese and
Dutch to Chinal" Becl1man's Tech

A little over a hundred years ago
that is to say, in the year 1855
the then reigning sultan of Morocco
took as his wife red haired and blue
eyed Irish girl, the young widow of
a sergeant of engineers who had died
in Morocco. This Celtic lady seems to
have left a famous record behind her.
She ruled the sultan and not infre-
quently rode into battle at the head
of her husbands troops.
Her son, known as Mulai Yezzid,
inherited much of her pluck and
spirit, and was in open rebellion at
the time of his fathers death. 1t is
a very open question how much of
the blood of this Irish lassie runs in
the veins of the present sultan of
Morocco, Muleyel- -Hassan, but it is at
least interesting to assume that the
known partiaity of this ruler for the
British nation is due to the romantic
marriage which his ancestor made
over century ago. London Figaro.

Poor human nature likes to believe
the worst of its kind, and there are
those who feel personally injured at
praise of others One touch of scan
dal makes the whole world kin.
Only exhibit the weaknesses Of the

Becomlng Left Handed suddenly.

Three years ago young lady of
Fall River, Mass, was hit upon the
left side of her head by falling sign
as she was walking along a street in
Boston. This was followed by brain
fever. After some weeks she was as
well in body and mind as ever, but
from right handed person she had
become so left handed that she could
neither cut, sew nor write with her
right hand, but found it easy to do
all these things with her left. Her
right hand was just about as useful
as her left had been before she was
hurt. What is strange is that, with
80 recent change in the use of her
hands, she never makes an akward
motion, and is as graceful in the use
of her left hand as If she had been
born left handed. Boston Post.
