Texan Hospitality.

1.-THE latchstring hangs out, /" ex-
pressed the hospitality of the southern
frontier in the days before the war. y
If traveller rode up before the fence
that separated the log cabin from the
road, he was greeted by, "Light, stran-
ger, 'lightl'' Without this salutation
no one dismounted, but it was rarely
withheld. Mr.. Williams, in his book,
"Sam Houston, y thus describes the i'm
pulse of hospitality, which made every
traveller guest, during the early settle
ment of Texas:
The traveller who rode up to the front
fence was instantly invited to alight.
His horse was staked out or hobbled to
feed on the prairie grass, and the Wis
itor sat down to exchange the news with
his host. The coffee mill Was set 60
ing, if there were any Of the precious
grains in the house, and the hopper in
the hollow log to grinding the corn.
The venison or bear meat was put on
the Goals, and the ash cake baked.
After the meal and the evening pipe,
the visitor stretched himself on a buff
falo robe on the floor with the members
of the family and slept the sleep of
health and fatigue. In the morning the
response to any inquiry as to the charge
was, "You can pay me by coming
again. u
The story that certain hospitable
settler used to waylay travellers on the
road and compel them to visit him at
the muzzle of double barreled shot
gun was only humorous exaggeration
of the instinct for hospitality which
characterized the community.
Tho visitor was living newspaper,
who brought the only news obtainable,
and was welcome relief to the monot-
ony and loneliness of the wilderness. =

Maori women.

The Maori women are potent factor
in island life and must not be forgot
ten. Liquid dark eyes, soft voices, af-
fectionate and merry dispositions, light
brown skins of ivory smoothness and
gIacefulness. in every movement are
their most striking characteristics. Sell
dom are they TO be seen in a passion,
and not a single cuss word for man
or woman is to be found in the vocabu-
larry OF this charming people. In the
most furious rage they can only call
each other cat, bullock, dog, goat, sheep
or pig. The most deadly is wild duck,
implying a child whom nobody will
own. Fortnightly Review.

Treatment For Wounds.

DR.. Eiehler, in the "Aerzt, Prakt, "
advocates Peru balsam as dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points of. adaptation being
that it adheres we'll and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds; it has a
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
lions, and following application a scab
is formed under which healing goes on.
DR.. Eichler states that its use is especial
w indicated in the treatment of wounds
having tendency to marked suppura-
ton or partial gangrene, and in in
iuries of the hands and fingers the re-
suits are excellent. In practice, after
coaptition of the margins of the wound,
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
tire surface, which is then covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
halsam and an ordinary dressing. Th'
latter may be left in place for seyera
days, though it is an advantage to re
move the outer dressing daily ant
lnoisten the gauze with the balssn
without removing it from the wound

A clear, pale sky-serene and autumn cold.
Thin floats the buoyant crescent silver keen
7 Through luminous far drawn spaces family
green,
Save for one long, low, lingering streak of gold.
Blue mists the hushed and supine land enfold
And dim the winding little rivers sheen,
Where, .dsrkly clustered, shadowy willows
lean.
And chill and heavy lie on plain and void.
Now as the daylight's eager voices fade,
And life is narrowed TO shrinking span,
Atwilight breath of calm and peace and shade
Now on the hot and restless heart of man,
From Individual hopes and fears set free,
A quiet touch from out the unknown is laid
The thought of comprising eternity

sympathetic Vaccination.

The Listener has heard of something
very queer and quite new to him. 1t
is sympathetic vaccination, which sew
eral people are said to have suffered
from. Without having been vaccinated
at all, but with vaccinated people all
about, you presently feel at times a
stinging or itching sensation in a spot
on your arm where the doctor would
have vaccinated you il you had been
vaccinated. In some cases this sympa-
thetic vaccination affiicts only the left
arm, but occasionally it shifts from one
arm to the other, appearing first on the
left and then for time on the right
II is believed to be a nervous outgrowth
Of the continual complaints of vaccinat-
ed people and their everlasting descrip-
tion of their sensations. Boston Tran

Reflected Light.

A dead white surface has decided ad
vantages for rejecting light over look
ing glass or bright surface. Good
white blottiDg paper reflects back 81
per cent of the light cast upon 1t. Many
persons~are under the impression that
looking glass must be better reflector
than paper or whitewashed surface be-
cause with looking glass a strong shad-
ow can be cast, while from dead sur
face no heavy shadow is obtained.
The reason is not so much that the re-
flected light is less from the dead sur
face, but that the reflection is concen-
trated in the case of the looking glass.
With paper or whitewash it proceeds
from vast number of points.

tndt you are reaIly poor. L nave known
for months that | loved you. b.t | have
never realized it 50 much as now, when
your caprice is so near to parting us in
earnest"
Cut this short, Mr.. Fairleigh. If you
persist in staying here against my
wishes, why, t.len, have a coachman
who is a muscular fellow. He never
liked you. Believe me, it would give
him real delight if were to order him
to throw you out of the house"
Are you threatening me?"
No; not if an appeal will answer the
purpose equally we'll"
There was heavy silence Muriel
stood with her hand on the back of 4
chair looking straight at the man be-
fore her; the flower in her bosom rose
and fell quickly; but there was no other
sign Of mental disturbance. Fairleigh's
face had grown grey and cold. He
knew that nothing he could now say
would regain for him the prize he had
lost. And as far as in him lay he loved
this woman.
He turned TO the door
'Good-bye, Miss May. / see that
can not alter your opinion of me"
He paused, hoping she would speak
some reassuring words, but she did hot.
You will think as kindly of me as
you can?" he tamely added.
"Good-bye," she said, and his last
nope died as the cold, clear tones smote
his ear.
For several minutes after lie had gone
Muriel did not move. Then the color
came slowly, steadily back to her face.
She took her hand from the chair,
smiling scornfully as she swayed slight
ly for moment. In the next she stood
erect, in every way her own mistress
again. She loosened the fast fading
flower from her dress and passed into
the hall.
Roth was waiting there. To him she
tossed the rose.
You have won the wager" she said.
Roths good plain face was trans
figured as he bent to rapturously kiss
her hand. The tears rushed to Muriel's
eyes and quenched their naughty fire

A JkVELlN IN HIS LEG.
Narrow Escape OF "A British Captain from
8byssnians.

Il went down to Jefferson Barracks
on Memorial day to witness the decora-
ton of the soldiers graves. said Capt.
r. Mansfield of London, England to q
st. Louis Globe Democrat man, "and it
called back to my mind some of my eX-
perences in battle and how near ! came

Il remember one narrow escape that
| had as clearly as if it had happened
yesterday, and which | would not pass
through again for all the wealth of the

III Ansley bay, in the Red sea, | was
sent ashore in command Of siXty-four

toward the shore, all the while throw
inc their spears. which killed two OF
my men. When within about 500
wards of the shore one Of the jayelins
struck me in the tieshy part of my left

SUCCESSFUL AUTHORS.
Onr American Ones Are Very Kind to
Young Writers.

Successful authors who have made a
reputation in American literature, have
been singularly free from professional
jealousy. While there are exceptions
to the rule, the younger men are ordi-
narily welcomed by the recognized
leaders. and encom'ag ged to do their best
WORK by appreciation and sympathy
says the IOUtt'S C0HlDdRjoR.
William Winter has referred many
times with refined sensibility to his OBJ
legations to Lomgfellow. who interested
himself in the younger mans verse, and
honored him with keen criticism and
intimate friendship. Longfeil0w had
suffered in his youth from Poe's jeal-
ousy and acrid structures upon his work.
His own bitter experience sweetened
his intercourse with all fellow-crafts-
men in literature. He was the most
sympathetic adviser Of all beginners in
prose and verse who sought mis- coun-
sci.
Lowell was equally hospitable to new
men. He was 4 stern critic, but gem
erous in praise of whatever his we'll
trained judgment approved. Stedman's
first book of verse was submitted to
Lowell for a critical opinion, and the
younger poets subsequent choice of
themes and methods was largely de-
termined By the masters Judgment.
Stedman himself had protited by the
example set for him in his youth.
Many an obscure auihog had been in
troduced to Il publisher through his in
terTenliOn. His praise OF other mems lit
,,.l- al in afI N Cr
and cordial.
Bayard Taylor had the same habit in
his relations with literary workers. He
was exceedingly quick to recognize
merit in new and unknown men of let
ters, and was delighted when he could
make himself useful to an amateur au-
thor struggling to rise to the surface
and to keep himself atioat.
Fond of praise and well pleased when
he was allowed to talk of his own work,
he was also a good listener and not in
tolerant in his opinions. He interested
himself readily in the crude ideas and
inartistic methods of writers, who were
encouraged by his amabilitv to over
rate their own merits and achievements.
His advice was always salutary. <ut his
manner never caused irritation. He
sometimes seemed almost deferential in
listening to the opinions of younger
men, who had everything to learn from
him.
George William Curtis was a critic of
the highest degree of sensibility and re-
fnement. but he never was anything
but helpful to young authors, who sub
mitted manuscripts to him, or applied
to him for advice with reference to the
possibility of their making a literary
career. Severe in his judgment, he
was also most sympathetic in express
ing it, and hundreds of literary work
ers who solicited his aid and counsel
have borne testimony to his kindness
of heart.
There is, indeed no other profession
in which the masters can be more help
full to the beginners than that of liter
ature. Those who succeed in it and
reach places of distinction invariably
consider it their highest privilege to
recognize the promise of genius in un-
known authors.
