A Man Found Sleeping Among :
Quantity Of Fish.
When the fish tanks Of the Great
Northern railway arrived from Grims-
by at the Royal Mint depot for trans
ference to BIlingsgate the fish porters
succeeded as usual with light hearts
and archaeological Jokes to unload the
cargo. Suddenly a great cry Of terror
arose among them. One shouted ITS
a shark" q third ITS an octopusl'ss
and q fourth 1T must be Jonah!e
Surely enough something abnormal
was in the tank, but as it made no ut
tempt to bite anybody the proposal to
run round to the tower for the loan OF
a gun to shoot 1t was not carried into
effect. There 1t lay serenely and peace
fully GRABBED among the fish, which
wobbled around 1t as the tank was
slowly moved. When the porters
gained their self-p0ssessl0n and exam
med the object they found Il Was y
man sound asleep. After he had been
well shaken they asked what ho WA1
doing there, when he modestly replied:
I'm working my passage to London
I worked It on. q smack from Hull t0
Grimsby, and ID ] have some friends
IN London I thought I should Ike to
zee them, 20 I got In among the fish"
He gave his name as John Waterhouse
and was carried, after being washed
and scraped, before the lord mayor,
charged with travelling on the railway
without q ticket and his lordship gave
him the option Of paying five shillinge
or going to prison for three days.

NEW sWINDLE ON THE FARMER.

Selling "Gilt-Edged Butter Cone
pound" Which IL Nothing More
Than Pepsin.
A new kind of swindle has excited
the attention of the department OF az
riculture. Certain ingenious persons
are manufacturing for sale to farmers
a product which they call "giltedge
butter compound" or by other names
equally attractive. 1t is alleged that
by the use Of this substance the ag-
riculturist can double the quantity. OF
butter obtained from q single COW or
from any number of animals. The
process, as described by the Washing
ton Star, is very simple. You take q
pint Of fresh milk and as much Of the
compound as you can heap on q Ill
yer dime. These you put into q churn,
together with one pound OF soft but
ter, and you agitate the mixture for
q short time, at the end of which It
is found to be transformed into two
pounds Of good butter. At the same
time it is pretty evident that the
amount Of butter fat is not Increased
by this method, and in the resulting
two pounds there Gun only be as much.
of it as was contained in the original
one pound, plus the small quantity de-
rived from the pint Of milk. This
fact ia quite wildly shown by chemical
analysis. Whereas good butter usual
" holds only 16 per cent of water, the
stuff produced by the ''gilt-edge COM
pound contains so per cent OF water
Nevertheless the latter looks very
much like genuine butter, though con-
siderably softer. The "gilt-cdge COM
pound is simply pepsin. Mixed with
butter 1t produces an emulsion which
enables the butter to take up an
equal weight Of milk without altering
its appearance materially. Any other
digestive ferment, such as rennet, will
accomplish the same result The com
pound" is sold at the rate OF $3.50
for a two-ounce box, the actual value
being about three cents. One disad-
vantage Of its 8 is that butter manu-
featured In the way described quickly
spoils. 1t is an adulterated food prod
uct and should be prohibited hy law.

From Mrs. Col. de' Verde.
About Snubs.-When we established
the Kicker we were. a lonesome-look-
ing man. We were dead broke for
cash, hard up for clothes, and we made
n pretense rs to grammar, poetry or
oratory, but In establishing the paper
we also determined to establish our
self in society. In fact, we determined
to lead it. The people rebeled at the
innovation, but we persisted. 1t gradu-
ally dawned upon the populace inhab-
iting this plateau that we knew the
difference between standing up to a
dish Of fried bacon and sitting down to
a six-course dinner, and they crowded
back to give MS room. AS editor, may
or and senator there is no doubt OF our
being the Ward McAllister of a very
large extent Of territory, but now and
then an individual rises up and at
tempts to hurt our society feelings.
Such was the case last Friday evening
when Mrs. Col. de Verde, Of Arizona
place, gave a birthday party and left u
out in the cold She told some Of her
friends that she did it to rebuke our
egotism, and we were no doubt re-
buked. In leaving us out in the cold
Mrs. de Verde brought disaster upon
herself. Viewed from the McAllister
standpoint, her party was a fiat failure.
Half the people present used the finger
bowls to drink from, the coffee was
sweetened with New Orleans molasses,
and she was eleven napkins short when
refreshments were served. To further
rebuke us she invited the wretched old
critter whom We are obliged to refer to
as our esteemed contemporary" and
he sat at the head Of the table and hol-
Tered for tripe and lemonade and
corned beef! No wonder the party
broke up at 10 o'clock and rushed the
gate off it's hinges in the mad desire to
get away! Yesterday morning Col. de
Verde was taken to Wyoming under
arrest. We have known for q year
that he was wanted there. When
the colonel conspired with his wife to
pour ice water down our social spinal
column, we felt u duty to send off a
brief telegram giving his location. We
are not q revengeful man, but we have
a policy to carry out. We have provid-
ed Ourself with a swallow-tailed coat,
white vest, billed shirt and other adj
juncts. We have read up our etiquette.
We know when the celery should be re-
moved and the fried Eggs brought in.
We know when the salad should be
gently retired and the Ice cream quietly
substituted. An attempt to snub us
may justly be considered a blow at So
ciety, and win be certain to result in
disaster to the snubber.-New York

There is no barker for the representa-

SMASHED THE CRYSTAL.

Curious to Know whether a0 Gft-
Repeated Tale WINS True.
To say what you mean and mean
what you say is a good rule to follow
always. An amusing story which illus
trates the value of this course was told
some years ago by an old gentleman
who was visiting a rolling mill for the
first time. He had heard wonderful
stories of the machinery in the mill,
and he was DESTROYS of putting some Of
them to test. ~
Il have been told" said he to the
Zimmerman, as he watched the great
steam hammer rising and falling, that
a Zimmerman can break the crystal Of
a watch with that ~thirty-ton hammer"
Eyes, SIR" said the Zimmerman, 1T
can be done" "..
Il should like to see it," said the old
gentleman, eagerly feeling in his watch
pocket.
II a do it, sir"
"And will your. said the visitor,
drawing out his watch. Come, 1 am
anxious to see 1t tried"
He laid his watch on the great anvil
plate, the hammer rose to itsl full
height, and the next instant all its pom
derous weight, with q crushing force
that, shook the ground for an acre
round, came down IN the watch.
''There, SIR. said the Zimmerman,
quietly, IF you don't believe that crys-
tai is broken, just stoop down and you
can see it sticking to the hammer"
The curious old gentleman swallowed
a whole procession of Jumps and gasps
before he could speak.
But, I forgot to say" he exclaimed.
"that it was to break the crystal with.
out injuring the watch"
ooh, yes" said the Zimmerman
Eyes, I know; ! have heard that rub
bish myself, but it's all CANNON. I
! don't believe it. But you can break
| the crystal every time"
If the visitor had said what he meant
he would undoubtedly have saved his
watch, but it must be confessed that It
| the Zimmerman had not been q OF
the meanest men in the world he would
have saved 1t anyhow.-Harper's Young
People.

Gladys got some garden seeds,
Trusting little maiden.
Rlcked them out with greatest care,
talked about them everywhere;
Planted them with earnest prayer.
And a little spade.
Then there came a fall Of snow,
And a solid freeze.
Gladys, taken by surprise,
Bravely dried her trimming eyes,
Sent around for new supplies,
Warranted to please.
Hardly were they in the ground
When q busy hen,
Seeking ~sustenance, laid bare
All the cause Of SO much care;
Gladys wished that she could swear,
And began again.
What the next mishap will be
Gladys doesn't know,
But if patient labors pay,
She will have a fine display
In her garden plot some day
1t is doubtful, though.
