Icannot touch a piece of velvet with
my fingers or permit the furry side of a
peach skin to touch my lips without ex-
periencing Immediately sort of cold
chill all over my person. It is not SO
very severe, but it is unpleasant. Still !
would prefer to living forever under the
ban of such a chill than to be compelled
to meet once day one of those .oleagi-
nous bundles of insincerity and pretense,
the unctuous and effusive. chap who
thinks you are not properly treated and
never loses an opportunity to tell you so.
OF course am aware am not properly
appreciated, but detest being told of
the fact by another person, WHO never
lifts finger in my behalf, and who only
wags his tongue in my favor when 1 am
by to see him do it.-Detroit Free Press

A STORY from che Ameriean Ipdians.

Story from the American Indians.
Many years ago a boy found beauti-
full snake, so an Indian legend runs He
kept it in bowl of water and took no.
dce that small feathers dropped into the
receptacle became living beings. He
experimented and discovered that what
ever he put into the water became alive.
he rubbed some of this snake water on
his eyes and found that he could see
things that were re-actual1y hidden in the
ground. Concluding that he would
make the liquid more powerful by put
ting more snakes into it, he hung up
number of serpents so that their oil
dropped into the water. By putting
some of the solution thus obtained into
his mouth he could breathe fire, and by
placing some of it in his eyes he could
see in the dark.
At will he could transform himself
into serpent, could become invisible
and could travel at an incredible rate of
speed. An arrow dipped into the liquid
and shot at any living being, even if it
did not hit its object, would neverthe-
less kill it, Afeather dipped into this
snake water and pointed at any game
would Immediately start for the latter
and slay it. This boy became in this
manner a great wizard.-Washingt

Captain John Richards, of the British
ship Cambrian Monarch, reports having
passed within half mile of pinnacle
rock, showing about seven feet above the
water, in latitude 30 degs. secs. north,
longitude 1877 degs. SO secs. west. No
soundings were taken and no discolored
water was seen except close to the rock.
The sea was smooth, and from the top
sail yard the rock appeared to be about
nine feet in diameter at the waters edge,
but much larger under the water. Cap
tain Richards says he is sure that it was
not a floating object. Philade1phia

The BrilIiant student.s DIlemm..

A Harvard student told me an anus
ing story about himself the other day.
It seems that recently his mother had a
young lady guest at their home on the
Back Bay, and when he came from coli
lege in the afternoon he was introduced
to her. AT dinner also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten-
ton to the fair visitor, as his mind was
engrossed with problem in his lessons.
However, his brothers were as assiduous
as possible in entert ining her. AS it
happened, the latter had engagements
out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Miss B. to haye one of her sons
take her to the theater. it fell to-the lot
of my friend George, the Harvard man.
He accepted the situation gracefully,
and in due. time the young couple set off
for the theatre. Arriving, George left
his companion at one side of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box Office and
purchased the tickets; then, turning
about, he looked toward the place where
The had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to see half a dozen there,
and-ye gods. is it possible?-he could
not tell which was his precious charged
Here was a dilemma.
George said he Immediately decided
that, rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, he would stand still till
the young lady spoke to him. So he
gazed at his tickets for what seemed to
him an age, but was probably only a
minute, when Miss B. came up and said,
81 fear you did not recognize me-" ssOh,
yes-yes-" stammered George, equivo-
cating-'yes, did; thought they had
not given me the seats asked for, and
was considering what was best to do in
the matter. Boston Herald.

purahiIitx of Ancient Ink.


The labor required in making the man
uscript books of ancient days was far
beyond the understanding of the men Of
the present day who possess all the
modern adjuncts to that art. As these
books were intended to last for many
years, answering the same purpose as
our printed tonnes, the great desideratum
in.their preparation was durability AS
a natural consequence. those who made
them not only selected the best quality
of parchment or other material to write
upon, but also paid particular attention
to the quality of the ink used in such
work. ass Is, ~ az ~ es
That they were successful in making
the latter is evidenced by the fact that
in the majority of instances the char
acters inscribed on the most ancient
manuscript rolls now preserved in the
Britisui museum and elsewhere are very
legible, the ink being bright and black
and showing but little evidence of its
great age. It is supposed that the su-
perior quality of lanpblack, prepared in
manner now unknown, was the true
cause of this beautiful and lasting color
of the ink in question Detroit Free

The widow must have been. a person
possessed of great powers Of fascination,
for Sir Henry Holland makes mention
of her as a lady who made such sensa-

Mr.. Burlingame gave second solo on
"The Pilgrim Teacher" and was again
generously applauded, after which the
Rev. o. d. Taylor, president of the
board of directors, made very earnest
address. In the course of his remarks,
Mr.. Taylor said he had sent down to
Hood River, for some strawberries few
days ago, having heard that they were
larger and sweeter than our own berries
here at home; well, the berries came
and they were excellent, being both, ).
large and sweet, but after they were
eaten he went out into his own garden
and found berries that were larger and
sweeter, and so by way of illustration,
.8fr. Taylor urged upon the citizens to
investigate the opportunities which our
city is the proud possessor of, and that
when our young people arrive at an age
when they seek for higher education, to
give them the benefit of that which can
be procured at home, equal to the best.
In addressing the graduating class Mr..
Taylor spoke with great earnestness,
and In the kind words that reflected
fathers love, urged upon them to follow
their own better impulses as they
journeyed through life, and to all of
which it might be aptly said.

A bear EssiIy Caughl..

a party of hunters on the Florida
coast came suddenly upon bear prowl
ing about the wreclzage on the beach.
Bruin woIld first look at an article, then
smell it, touch it with his paw and final
ly, after deliberately seating himself,
with his hind legs projecting in front,
turn his head on one side and try to
crack his new acquisition with his teeth.
The burlesque gravity of his manner
was indescribable.
He threw away cocoanut, as being
too hard to chew, ate an orange with
great satisfaction and presently discov-
cred a small cask, which he endeayored
to open. By dint of much biting he en-
larged the bunghole so that he could in
sert paw; then he held the cask on one
arm and kept the other paw busy in
rapid journeys thence to his mouth.
But this method of getting at the con-
tents did not satisfy him, and presently.
standing erect on his hind feet, he in
serted his nose in the barrel, and then
his head. Now, a bears nose is so sharp
that it goes through a small place very
easily, but owing to the heavy folds of
skin about the neck, and the fact that
the hair and ears are set backward, it
does not possess the same facility fol.
coming out.
Bruin was fast. He began to pull
back, but as he pulled the barrel came
with him, and as he rolled on his back,
paving Intellectually at its convex sides,
it merely revolved about his head, as if
it were on pivot. Then, alarmed by the
sound of our laughter, he took fright
and ran, wearing the cask on his head
like helmet.
Up the hill ne rushed, lost all sense of
direction. and rolled head over heels
squarely among us. Picking himself
up he reared and began growing and
waving his paws, but was speedily re-
leased by one of the negroes, who broke
the barrel with a blow from his club
and scattered the mackerel with which
it had been filed.
The bear rewarded him for this serv-
ice with blow of the paw which laid
him ON the sands, and in another second
was himself stretched there by the dis
charge of two rifies.-Wild Sports in

the boat took them down the river to q

noon from attending the annual meet

having been elected to that distinguished
honor, but he brings with him the pleas
ing information that he succeeded, after
a hard struggle, in obtaining the consent
of the association to hold their next, an
nual meeting on the second Tuesday, in
June, in The Dalles. The doctor on be-
half of our citizens promised the 150 to
