AMUSEM TENTS.


There are many who should go to see
HThe Old Homestead" and some who
should not. If you are not broadly in
sympathy with human kind; if you
cannot weep with those who weep, and
rejoice with those who rejoice,
meanest garbs; if you cannot
look beyond the outward conditions of
men into their characters; if you can
not rejoice in goodness, though it be in
lowly guise; if you select your delights
as you do your dinners; if any of these
'ifs' would retard you, don't go. He
who has most heart, knows most of sor-
row and of joy, finds "The Old
Homestead" interfused with both. At

MEAT EATERS.
They are sounder Physically md Less
Exposed to Disease Than Others.

Exposed TO disease Cthcfss
Many races of men live entirely on
animal food and these are the most
hardy and, from all have been able to
gather on the subject, the most free from
diseases Of all kinds. Sir Francis Head
says of the Pampas Indians: "They are
all horsemen or, rather, pass their lives
on horseback. In spite of the climate,
which is burning hot in summer and
freezing in winter, these brave men, who
have never yet been subdued, are entirely
naked and have not even a covering for
their head. They live together in tribes,
each Of which is governed by cacique,
but they have no fixed place of residence.
Where the pasture is good there they arc
to he found until it is consumed by their
horses and they then instantly move to
more verdant spot They have neither
bread, fruit nor vegetables, but they sub
sist entirely ON the flesh of their mares.
Describing the effect on himself of this
diet, Sir Francis says: After / had
been riding three or four months and had
lived on beef and water l found myself
in q condition which can only describe
by saying that I felt no exertion could
kill me, although constantly arrived 30
completely exhausted that l could not
speak yet few hours sleep upon my

pletely restored me that for a week
could daily be upon my horse before sun
rise and ride till two or three hours after
sunset and have really tired ten or
twelve horses a day. This will explain
the immense distances which people i'll
South America are said to ride, which I
am confident could only be done on beef
and water" The Gouachos of the Ar
tine Republic live entirely on roast beef

In Real Life.

"Jim the Penman" is perhaps moro
picturesque figure on the stage than in
real life but he and his kind exist, new.
srtheless. The story of gentleman
burglar" recently arrested in London
furnishes the material for sensational
novel. After running career of vice
in England, this fellow, who was but
thirty, and handsome in face and figure,
came to America and introduced himself
to New York society as lieutenant OF
the Royal Engineers. So well did he
play his part that within year he mar
ried the daughter of lady of means, a
pretty and accomplished girl. His
mother-in-law soon pressed him to intro.
duce her to his fashionable relatives in
England. Yielding to her solicitations
he returned there and took residence in
a quiet country town, where he soon be-
came social light, and entertained law
ishly. By-and-by mysterious burglaries
began in the neighborhood, but no one
dreamed of suspecting the elegant and
wealthy lieutenant" of completely in
them. Ultimately he was caught, how.
ever, and accused of breaking into resi-.
donces and stealing various articles. BY
this time the family of his unfortunate
wife had been stripped of nearly every
penny and left in an almost destitute
condition plus the burden of his liabili'
ties. Even after his marriage the plausi-
BILE rogue kept up correspondence with
ladies with view to marriage. and paid
personal attention to others. He was
indicted for burglary, and found guilty
OF receiving goods well knowing them
to have been stolen, and was sentenced
to twelve years penal servitude. The

TrsmendoMs Power of Roofs.

The tremendous power of a pushing
root is subject for marvel. 1t will
lift tons by the swelling of its slender
trunk, or rend rocks with the power of
dynamite, but silently and invisbly.
The pertinacity and force of plants is
occasionally shown in the great cities
in this wise. Some old residences have
vines many years old, climbing up their
weather beaten brown fronts. Their
roots are deep in the tiny front garden
plot, and their tendrils were at first
trained up slender cords to the iron bal
comics on the first floor. These slender
green things twined in and out of the
iron ratings of the balcony like little ser
pents till they reached the vertical wall
Which, nothing daunted, they began to
climb.
Little by little the tender green stems
changed to hard woody tissues which
swelled into fiat plaits to accommodate
itself to the bars of the iron railing
through which it had woven itself. But
the accommodation was only formal.
for, swelling steadily, the vine trunks
appear to day to have become as large rs
a mans arm, and the iron rails which
were its earliest support, have been
broken in twain by their ungrateful de-
pendents.
Another singular example Of the per-
tinacity of the roots is heard from n
neighboring State. A drain pipe seemed
to be choked. Investigation showed that
a threadlike shoot of a tree root had
penetrated one of the minute pores of the
clay pipe; once inside the drain the ten,
drill found such luxurious nourishm"nt
that it grew and divided into branches
which wound themselves in coil on coil
until finally passage in the drain was
completely choked up.
1t is said that bucketsfur of tangled
faments were taken out of this pipe.
which measured only eight inches ia
diameter, while the skcins originated in
sing lie threadille tilament, back through
which coursed the abundant nourishment
to push on the growth of the maple tree
above ground.

ISOkes.

Old as the history of the world itself is
that of the queen Of flowers. The ancient
Greeks and Romans revealed in roses:
they were used lavishly at their feasts
In the time of the republic the people
had their cups of Falernian wine swim
ming with blooms; and the Spartan
soldiers after the battle Of Cirrha refused
to drink any wine that was not perfumed
with roses; while at the regatta of Baip,
the whole surface of the Lucrne lake
was strewn with the flowers. Nero at
his banquetings showered rose-water
upon his guests from an opening i'll the
ceiling; and when honoring the house of
noble with his presence, the host was
compelled to have his fountains playing
rose water. In the repast itself roses
found place in the form of rose pud
ding. The Sybarites slept on beds stuffed
with rose-leaves; the tyrant Dionysus
had his couch filled with them; Verus
would travel wi tn garland on his head
and round his neck, and over his litter
he had thin net with rose-leaves inter.
twined. Antiochus luxuriated upon
bed Of blooms even in winter days and
nights; and when Cleopatra entertained
Antony, she had roses covering the floor
to the depth, it is said, of an ELL We arc
told that Heliogabalus supplied so many
at one of his banquets that several of hia
guests were suffocated in the endeavor to
extricate themselves from the abundance
victims of surfeit Of sweet odors.
Doubtless the immoderate use of roses by
the ancients led in after days to their be-
ing relegated to their proper sphere in
the garden; for although we have had
the wars of tho roses in our modern
times, the flowers were only pIucked as
a symbol. First and last, the rose has
been the theme Of countless poems;
there is no poet worthy of the name who
has not consecrated it in verse.

How Rich Baron Purchased n Hand
some Porcelain Service.

Row q Rich Baron Purchased Hand
some Porcelain Service.
Among the various admirable produc-
tinns of taste which the guests of Baron
Rothschild never fail to admire is mag
nficrnt service of porcelain of singular
hoauly, elegance of shape and finish, and
remarkable for the artistic richness of its
paintings.
The way in which the baron became
possessed of it is worth relating.
One day an old man, careworn, wrink-
led, feeble, and apparently lettering OF
the verge of the grave, presented himself
before Baron Rothschild, soliciting the
homer of an interview with the famous
banker.
The old man was so aged, SO poor, and
had altogether so detected an aspect, that
tho baron was Immediately impressed
WITH compassionate feeling toward
him, which feeling became one of
lively interest on learning that he was
Jnw.
1t is well known that the 1sraelites are
very chsritably disposed toward all their
brethren. The aged visitor took from
mis- bag a rich and beautiful plate, so
iplendidIy wrought that the baron adj
nired it exceedingly and became greatly
delighted with it.
Sir" said the patriarch, "wil you
buy this of me? / have the whole set,
and it has struck me that service SO
beautiful cannot find more fitting place

tinancers.
at is indeed very fine," said the baron.
"How much do you want for the SER
vice."
Look YOU said the old man, 81 am
bowed down with many years and have
not long to live. l am poor, and wish to
end my days in comparative comfort.
Will you, in exchange for this valuable
set of porcelain, give me an income for
life of one hundred francs month? 1t
IS not much money for you, and | am so
old"
The baron looked at the poor man, ex-
amined the plate again, and after few
minutes reflection said:
well be it So Here is the first pay
ment Send me the service and give me
my treasurer's books. "
The splendid set of porcelain was de.
Iivered the same day to the baron, and
in a month afterward, while he was
seated in the counting house, man ell
tered and asked for the second payment
Of the promised income. But the man
was young, scarcely thirty years of age,
Of a vigorous constitution and great mus
cular development, and looked as if he
would live for hundred years.
"But you are not the MANI" exclaimed
the astonished banker
Excuse me, baron" said he, Il am
indeed the man.
but you appeared at least eighty years
old, " said the baron.
But, sir, am only thirty"
"In fact, l thought your venerable
appearance did not belle your asser-
ton"
II have wonderfully recovered, thanks
to your generosity"
The baron laughed heartily and gavn
orders for the payment Of the money,
exclaiming,-
"Ah, you are an excellent COMEDIAN

this porcelain service is so exquisite that
he saw no reason to complain.
