4 MiSer's HOSpitality.

Sir Harvey ELVES, of Stoke, in Suffolk,
next to boarding money, found his prin-
cipal pleasure in netting cartridges. He
and his household. consisting of n mar
and two maids, lived upon these. In cold
or wet weather Sir Harvey would walk
u D and down his hall to save fire. His
clothes cost him nothing, for he ran
sacked old chests and wardrObes and
wore those of his ancestors. When he
died the only tear shed was by his serv-
ant, to whom he left the farm-value,
fifty pounds per annum.
The whole of his property was left to
his nephew, John MaggOtt, who thus in
herited real and personal estate worth
$3.50, 600, on condition that he should as
! sumo the name and arms of Elves. OF
this man, who is better known as John
Elves, the miser, the following story is
told: His nephew, Colonel Timms, Wis
tied him at Marcham, and after retiring
to rest found himself wet through. Find
ing that the rain was dripping through
the ceiling, he moved the bed. He had
not lain long before the same incOnven-
fence again occurred. Again he rose and
again the rain came down. After push
ing the bed quite around the room, he
found a corner where the ceiling was
better secured and slept until morning.
When he met his uncle at breakfast he
/ told him what had happened. Aye,
ave-" said Mr.. ELVES; Il don't mind it
myself. but to those who do. that's a nice
corner in the ain.'-Cassell's Journal.

The Antiquity of the Arabian Horse.

How far back do the pedigrees run
and what is the origin of the Arabian
horse? These questions it is impossible
to answer definitely. The Bedouins
themselves believe that Allah created
the equine genus on their soil. 1.-THE
root or spring of the horse is," they say,
sin the land of the Arab" This pious
belief is shared by a few generous souls
in England and America, a small but
devoted band, who gallantly defend the
cause of the Arabian horse against his
only rival, the modern English thorough
bred. Chief among these faithful was
the late Major R. D. Upton, who visited
the desert himself and who has recorded
his experience and his views.
Major Upton concluded that the horse
was found in Arabia mot later than
about 100 years after the deluge, if in
deed he did not find his way there i'm
mediately after the exodus from the ark,
which is by no mean improbable" and
this probability the author then proceeds
seriously to consider. According to Ma
jor Upton and a few kindred spirits all
other breeds are mongrels, and the only
way to procure horsehesh in its best and
purest form is to go back to the fountain
head-to the horse of the desert.-Atlau-
tic Monthly.

An Electrical Detective.

A clever piece of detective work,
which must appeal with sad and crush
ing suggestiveness to the crook frater-
nifty, has been done in Toledo. A barber
for some time missed cigars from the
case in his shop. AT first only a few
cigars were taken, but presently the
thieves became holder and took whole
boxes. 4 watch was set and detectives
were employed, but all in vain. At last
the barber struck on the idea of having
IN automatic detecter fixed in the shop,
and he called in an electrician. Acam-
era was arranged so as to W. the cigar
case, and a flashlight apparatus and the
camera were connected by wires with
the sliding door of the cigar case, so
that when the door was opened the wires
would be brought together. The circuit
thus formed would produce a fash and
secure instantaneously a picture of the
thieves. For twelve days the cigars
were unmolested, but on the morning Of
the unlucky thirteenth the thieves were
prompted to try their hand again.
The plate was taken from the camera
and developed, and on it was seen a
unique and interesting picture, contain
ing the ~likenesses Of two juveniles who
were in the act of stealing the cigars.
Every detail in the shop was distinctly
seen, the clock showing the time at
which the Youngsters little operations
were interfered with, and the mixture
of cunning and caution on the face of
the boy who was evidently taking the
active part in securing the booty was
intensely amusing. The boys were at
once recognized, were arrested, tried
and sent to a reformatory, and the judge
commended from the bench the ingenu-
ity Of the means of detection employed.

Needed the Hardest.

A young dentist who opened an office
on jefferson avenue fin : a good many
discouragements. His first patient was
a thin young man who wore no waist
coat, and triced up his person with a
pink and yellow belt.
There was a profitable hour or two in
the chair, during which the young den
fist told his funniest stories as he filed
and chiseled and buzzed. At length, in
stead of filling up the biggest cavities
with gold and charging ten dollars
apiece, the conscientious beginner said
Shall l put in a soft filling, sir!"
Il board" replied the exhausted oc-
cupant of the chair briefly.
Beg pardon" said the dentist doubt
fully. Il asked you about a soft filing"
Thunder and lightning, shouted the
patient, sitting up in the chair and pull

was standing in the lobby Of the
Adams House in Boston. A New York
club man came in and stood talking
with some II in the lobby for several
minutes.
After he had gone out the man he had
been talking with came over Il me-he
was a friend Of mine-and put this ques-
ton: How does Hicks Yardly dress so
well? He has only s 5000 a year, and
yet he manages to dress himself so as to
look much better CARRIED than any Bos-
ton man / know. Strange, isn't it,"
Not at all.
The Boston mar dressed ON a cash ac-
count and an eye to color. The New
Workers. dress was not only an art, but
a sclence-an art because he had an eye
to harmony; a science because he had a
comprehensive knowledge Of means to
ends.
Any II knows enough not to wear a
red cravat and a bottle green coat; but
how many men know how to have their
coats cut or their shoes shaped? They
leave 1t to their ~tailOrs, and most tailOrs
cut a coat the same for a STRIPPING of
twenty as they would for an alderman.
Hicks Yardly would have informed
the Boston man that his hat was too
broad brimmed, his collar was too high
in front and too low in the back; that
his cravat was blue and his violets pur-
ple-Oh, horror Of hOrrors!-that his cut
away had one too many buttons on it.;
that his waistcOat hung down like an
inverted Y, whereas it should bind about
him like a belt; that his trousers were
tight to the knee and loose from there
down, whereas they should have been
the reverse; that his shoes turned up at
the tOeS-the sole of the English made
shoe touches the ground from tip to
heel; that his gloves were russell, whereas
they should AVE been brick color; that
his hair was short on top and long be-
hind, whereas it should be long on top
and short behind; hat his mustache
should not be waxed; that his topcoat
was loose in front and tight fitting in
the back, whereas tie reverse should be
the case; that his stick was a buckhorn,
in the face of the we'll known fact that
Nc true man of the world would carry
nowadays any other than an all wood
cane.
Mr.. Hicks Yardly would then pause
for want of breath and leave the lobby,
while the BostOnite drew out his Brown
ing and turned to "Home Thoughts
from Over the Sea."-Frederic Edward
