A Swedish Custom.

The smorgasbord consists of a side
table furnished with bits of fish, ham,
meat and other things. The fish is
nearly sure to be raw. You may eat it
in morsels, with hard boiled eggs OF
with oat cakes or bread. There are
also butter and cheese and pickles, and
you are supposed to vary the entertain
ment with one or two glasses of corn
brandy-a very different spirit to cog
nac-which may be contained in vessels
like tea urns, with taps needing to be
turned. The Swedes use the smorgas-
bord as whet for dinner or supper.
Anglo. .Saxons at first acquaintance
are prone to imagine that it is all the
meal. In this matter I have heard
gentle waitress reproach countryman
of mine inferentially in way that
ought to have staggered his heart. The
Ignorant gentleman went from one little
dish to another, and, like a swarm OF
locusts, left nothing in his track.
He tossed off the thimblefuls of corn
brandy as if they had been so much
lemonade.
Monsieur" murmured the girl at
length, your dinner is ready" And
she pointed to his soup, which smoked
for him at the dining table proper.

Queer Habits of wild Geese.

Wild geese, under certain conditions
when caught, become quite domestic
In Meeker, Col, there are three owned
at the Meeker hotel which have beer
there nearly five years. They were
caught when young. and for awhile af-
ter being grown their wings were kept
clipped. Afterward no attention was
paid to them, and they were left to
take care of themselves, but they have
never attempted to leave, though they
ramble about the town unrestrained.
The supposition usually prevails that
wild geese build their nests in the long
grass and bushes fringing the isolated
streams and lakes, where they usually
congregate to rear their young. Such,
however, is not the case, for their nests
are often found in the tops of trees.
Quite resort for wild geese is found
at the head waters of the Yama river,
and year ago two boys living near
Steamboat Springs found nest in the
top of o cottonwood tree
The goose was sitting on the nest,
and the two boys shot her off and then
climbed up to inspect the nest. 1t con.
tanned quite number of eggs, and the
next thing discussed was how to get
them to the ground. First they tried
dropping them, the boy on the ground
holding his hat, but after breaking two

boy up in the tree thought of a move!
plan that worked to perfection. He
took off his boots and socks, and, plac-
ing the latter inside his boots to form
soft lining, carefully placed the eggs
within, then fastened his boots to the
waistband of his trousers by loosening
his suspenders upon either side and
passing the ends through the finger
straps of the boots and again buttoning
them to the waistband. Thus arranged
he successfully descended the tree.
The eggs. it seems, are next to indie
structible, and will stand plenty Of
rough usage. In the present case the
boys were on horseback, and rode
around all the afternoon with the eggs
strapped in coat or saddle. They
were placed that night in pan until
the morning following and then it oc-

DIVORCE BY CANDLE.
Burmese Method Simpler Than Some OF
More Civilized Nations.


In Burmah, as in civilized Europe,
suspicion often disturbs the family cir.
cle but instead Of filling lawyers pock
cts and giving society papers highly
spiced paragraphs, the following effec-
tual mode of procedure is adopted, says
the st. Louis Star:

long journeys made in jolting bullock
carts, and many the animated discus
sions by the cigar putting circle of rela-
tives squatted tremendously on the
matted bamboo floors. If no amicable
settlement can be obtained thus-and
very difficult it is to smooth down the
quarrels as rule, for the Burmese are
spirited race--the elders or patriarchs
of the village or district are called in,
and, after circumstances are explained,
arbitrators are appointed from among
them, who proceed as follows:
Two candles-wax if possible, but
generally rushlights-are selected of
equal length and thickness, and being
simultaneously lighted, are placed on
the table, if the establishment boasts of
one ;,if not, on the floor. This is done
with the greatest gravity, care being
taken that neither party has any advan-
tage over the other in the shape of
draughts through the doors and Gran.

sufficient distance to prevent their
breathing from affecting the flame.
The gradual burning down of the
flames is then watched with breathless
and solemn silence, which eliminates

PataRonian BableS.

When a little Patagonian is taken
with any of the long catalogue of in
fantile diseases, which are equally as
rampant in the wilds of the antipodes
as they are among the embryo presi-
dents and millionaires of the United
States, devil exterminator is seut for
post haste.
That individual, although his title is
not exactly euphonic to our cultured
ears, compares favorably with the ply
sicians of civilized countries, both as to
the wise look he puts on when making
an examination of the patient and the
fees exacted when the devil has been
put to flight.
The dispensatory of Patagonia knows
but two remedies for the diseases of
children, animal skins, and common
yellow clay, both to be used at the
same time, whether the disease be in
the head or feet of the little sufferer.
On being called to see sick child
the Patagonian doctor takes with him
tight skin bag opened at the larger
end. Clay is plentiful every where.
While some member of the family
makes thick batter OF this yellow
earth the medicine man sits staring at
the sick child or else shakes a painted
rattle in an idiotic fashion before the
little ones face.
When the plaster Of clay is ready the
child is smeared from head to foot with
it, and then slipped feet first into the
bag before mentioned. Should the
child cease crying before this proceed
ing has been carried out it is thought
to be bad sign, an omen that the
devil is still lurking in the child, but
is keeping quiet for fear Of punishment
On the other hand, should the child
become calm just as he is being bagged
the parents and the medicine man think
that the prince of darkness has left the
body of the child in order to escape
imprisonment. In the event of this
last named contingency arising the skin
bag is Immediately closed and tied
The doctor then opens another bag and
throws three pebbles and some ser.
pent's teeth into it. These are we'll
shaken for moment, the idea being to
get the devil to Jump into the bag after
WV SH"i hA' "hoAoukoA ~ 40 ihotdutly
closed, tied and sunk in the nearest
body of water.
After this rite has been carried out to
the letter the bag In which the clay be-
smeared child has been deposited may
| be opened.
If the little one has not already been
smothered by being confined in the bag
during the incantations of the medicine
man, it is thoroughly washed and
wrapped in clean, warm skin, the
hide of "muley" white bull, killed in
the new of the moon, being preferable.
Strange as it may seem, this treatment
usually cures. the water being prime
factor in restoring health, no doubt.
Should death ensue the doctor tells
the bereaved parents that two devils
were after the child, and that all the
medical science in the world is not
equal to the task Of coping with two OF
the imps of the internal regions.

An Animal Flower.

The inhabitants of st. Lucia have
lately discovered most wonderful
plant. 1t grows in cavern, in an i'm
mense basin of brackish water that has
overhowed from the sea. The bottom
basin is covered with pebbles, and each
pebble with from one to five of these
plauts, which for want of better
name, are termed animal flowers.
The curious creatures, which are in
all shades of color. remind one of II
beautiful flower bed. To the sight they
are perfect flowers, but on the approach
of hand or stick they retire out of
sight
Close examination shows that the
middle of the flower like disc is pro-
vided with four filaments which move
round the petals with brisk, spon-
taneous movement. Each of these fl
aments is provided with pincers for re-
ceiving prey. They live on the spawn
of fish and marine insects. Whenever
the pincers on the filaments make a
catch, the petals Immediately close, and
there is no escape for whatever has
been so unfortunate as to fall into the
voracious creatures NAV.

BLUFFING A VISITOR.
An OMce Boy for q Western Paper De-
serves Credit.

serves Credit.
He was an office boy worthy of u
place among heroes, albeit his lot was
cast in the newspaper Office of West
ern town, where enduring fame is
crowded to the wall.
He occupied place at the foot of
tue editorial stairs, and it was his duty
to give warning to the editor when an
irate visitor came with gun to correct
an item appearing in the paper.
With polite bow and O gracious
smile he was wont to inform the visitor
that he would go and see if the editor
was in, and then, if the editor concluded
from the boys description of the caller,
that it was safe to see him, he was in;
otherwise he crawled into a fireproof
safe in the back room and waited uutil
the danger was passed.
One day. says the Detroit Free Press,
man came who was particularly ugly.
He was a lawyer politician in the neigh
boring town, and the editor had not
filtered the language he used in describ-
ing his moral turpitude
Il want to see the editor. he growled,
as he started upstairs.
In see if he is in, sir, smiled the
boy, innocently getting in his way.
We'll, guess not, exclaimed the
man, grabbing him by the coat-collar.
I've heard how the chump has
way of turning people down when he
doesn't want to see them, and l won't
have it. You stay right where you are,
and I'll attend to this business myself.
And he slapped the boy down hard in
rickety chair.
The boy gasped, but did not lose his
wits.
That's all right, mister" he said,
showing pad of paper and pencil at
the man; but before you go up them
stairs won't you please write out your
ante ,mortem statement for use at the
coroner's inquest?"
The man stopped moment in his
headlong career.
Its favor to me, sir, pleaded the
boy, "for the coroner gives me dollar
apiece for 'em. and the five or six
week l get barely supports my poor,
sick mother and me, and he wiped his
eyes on his coat sleeve
The boys pathetic earnestness af-
fected the visitor visibly.
"Um- er -er, he hesitated, as lie
started for the door, ION the whole, l
guess I'll postpone my visit until this
afternoon" aud then he disappeared,
and the boy drew long breath, and
chuckled away down in his honest lit
tie heart.

The Telephone in Roumania.

The two Roumania cities, Galatz and
Braila, on the Danube, were lately con-
nected by telephone. which is an insti-
tuition of the State, like the telegraph.
Before its opening, an ordinance of the
government for its use was published
in the official gazette, the principal
part of which is as follows:
A person who wishes to communi-
cate with another by telephone is bound
to notify that person beforehand by
letter, telegraph or otherwise.
A dealer in produce in Braila was
about to close a contract for a supply
of barley. He desired, however. to
learn beforehand the price of barley
quoted at the board of trade in Galatz.
For that purpose he went to the tele-
phone office, and, after the fee, desired
to get telephone connection with his
correspondent in Galatz.
Very well have you informed that
gentleman
What for? He is in Galatz and the
person to whom l want to telephone.
That would not do, sir. Here is the
ordinance. Before you can telephone
to him, you must inform him before
hand by letter, telegraph or in any
other way"
Nonsense Is the government crazyi
Maybe they will ask me to travel to
Galatz, aud inform him that ou GER
tain day and hour he may be at the
telephone office to receive a communi-
cation from me ?"
The official smiled.
Yes, that would do, too," he re-
Turned in his blandest tones.

The wolf seemed quite as much sur

at each ether for some seconds before
the :ighf, which ended in the death Of

was fooled by the overcoat and tho
