WhistIing.

If any one should whistle in the
public street any day of the week, a
number of men will look round to
see if some one is calling them. Many
a man will give this whistle call, who
would think it undignified to shout
the name of one they wished to stop
on the highway.
1t is quite an ordinary thing for
boys at school or college to call COM
panions by whistling for them. 1t is
one of the boyish traits that survives
in the man.
If the distance be too far for the
mouth whistle, then the fingers are
converted into an instrument, the
tones of which are loud and shrill
enough to startle deaf man in the
street. / have seen boys, and men,
too, who wished to stop a car or van
ishing friend, use the first two fin
gers of each hand placed in the mouth
like V. This will give call so loud
that it could be heard several blocks
away.
The thumb and third finger, if
joined at the points, are sometimes
used. But for a sharp. piercing sound
that will travel as far as one can dis
tinguish a friend or companion the
first and third fingers, if joined at
the inside points with the middle fin
ger bent inward, will do the work.
1t resembles the screech of steam
whistle.-New York Telegram.

The ST. Florian Colony.

About 10 years ago number of
Germans who had migrated to the
northwest, disgusted with the hard
ships of that cold country, deter
mined to remove to the south. They
accordingly bought at $40 an acre a
wornout plantation of some 1000
acres in Lauderdale county, Ala,
and settled there. They proceeded
to improve their property along prac-
tical and intelligent lines. They
cleared away the broomsedge and
planted clover and grasses, and be-
gan raising cattle. They sold hay
and small grain. They planted or
chards and vineyards and utilized
the products in every available way.
The result is that the st. Florian col
ony is among the most thrifty and
prosperous communities in the state
of Alabama Their land is now
worth at least $50 per acre, and they
are happy and independent-New

The majority of the fashionable
beauties of Sydney, according to an
English observer, have peculiarly
delicate complexions, languid ex
pressions, fragile physiques and die
away look in the eyes, which are
more suited to the enervated temper
ament of an old civilization than the
active vitality of a new world. 1t
was easy even for novice to detect
that these ladies owed a good deal to
their perruquier. The mystery of
this curious combination of prema-
ture badness and unusual delicacy
of complexion was explained by the
fact that these women ate arsenic in
order to produce an aristocratic pal
lor and languor and found to their
horror that another effect of the
drug was to make their hair drop
out. Valuing their compilations
above their hair. however, they sacri-
feed the one to the other. What a
woman viii endure for her complex
ion may be estimated by this, and
also by the fact that these arsenic
eaters rarely live past 45.-San Fran

Wiser Than the Owl.

A few years ago, passing taxider-

he took occasion to call attention to
the defective work of professionals

tomb turns up evidence which forces

changes in the fine spun dogmas
which they have preached with such

MISSION OF THE HANDKERcHIEF.

e Tells Its Own Story of the wearer's Real
Nature-Its History.
II is indeed true, as the French
writer says, that one needs handker-
chiefs for the morning, handker-
chiefs to walk with, handkerchiefs
to go to church with, handkerchiefs
to lose and to give away, handker-
chiefs for washerwomen-and for
lovers-to steal, and he might have
added handSerchiefs to leave behind
to furnish a clew to the mystery,
handkerchiefs for Othello to find and
rage over. In Egypt the handker-
chief was counted as an amulet and
among the Moors as love token.
Grecian women appear on their vases
musing pensively with a large cloth
in the right hand, and among the Ro-
mans the utilitarian use of handker-
chiefs was deplored by Juvenal.
The Anglo-Saxons used their swat
cloths" openly; the Normans hid
theirs about their person. With Ellz-
abeth of England the handkerchief,
like all other articles of the toilet,
was much to be considered and was
trimmed with lace and decked with
embroidery. Tiny squares of finest
lawn, finely wrought, edged with
gold lace and folded neatly, were
made purposely for love tokens and
were given by court ladies to their
lovers, who wore the dainty tokens
in their hats.
Now the handkerchief is in its way
a thing of sentiment from which one
may read little of my lady's char
acter. For the dainty woman al
ways has a delicate, snowy bit of linen
edged around with lace, delicately
perfumed and with a certain fresh
ness about it as if it were never used
but once. Indeed japanese ladies
never do use a handkerchief more
than once any more than they use a
toothbrush the second time. A tiny bit
of paper handkerchief is that affect
ed by my lady of chrysanthemum
land. 1t is tucked into her sash, OF
obi, and used if necessary and thrown
away.
| For morning there are fine and
thin grass linen squares, with faint
bit of color in the border, and very
smart they look tucked inside the
coat or peeping from a waistcoat
pocket, and for the afternoon there
are sheer squares of lawn most deli
cately embroidered in fine and clost
rather than elaborate patterns. Fol
evening the tiny squares are edget
around with real valenciennes lace
and very tiny they are, too, for Their
is never a pocket in an evening gown
and it is well to have the handker
chief small enough to be tucket
away in a small space.
For some reason fine and prett.
handkerchief will almost redeem al
old or commonplace toilet Some
how in the eyes of her sister womel
the girl who is dainty enough to car
ry always something nice for a hand
kerchief, even with plain attire
rises several degrees in regard, ant
to the lover there is a great amour
of sentiment attached to the ittl
filmy trifie he finds in her book o
beside her chair, redolent of the pei
fu1ne she always exhales and warn
from the touch of her hand.-Ney

A Pacific Ocean Basin.

Submarine soundings, which have
recently been made with extraordi-
nary care and precision, rendered
practicable by means of superior in
struments in hands most experienced
and expert, show the existence in the
Pacific of a trough or basin of extraor-
dinary depth and extent along the
east coast of Japan and the Kurile
islands, and under the Kuro Siwo,
or Japan or black stream, the basin
exceeding any similar depression yet
found in any other region of the
great ocean.
In run of 80 miles after leaving
the coast of Japan, the surveying
officers for the proposed transpacific
telegraph cable found that the waters
deepened more than 1,s00 fathoms,
and upon the next cast of the lead
the wire broke after some A, 643 faith
oms had been run out without bot
tom having been reached. The depth
Of the deepest cast, which was 81
miles, being the deepest water yet
found, is remarked as sufficient to
hold two mountains as high as Ja-
pans great Fusiyama, one on top OF
the other, and then the summit OF
the highest would be nearly two
thirds of a mile under water.-New

Maurice Barr is a poultry fancier.
30 are several of his neighbors. These
were having more success than Maui
rice, especially those with the same
STRAIN of blood.
Maurice could not account for the
double fact that he was getting no
eggs and his neighbors were busy
with a couple of incubators on any
other hypothesis than that a neigh
Dor was collecting Maurice's hen
fruit.
Maurice had had fine dog, but this
had Leen killing chickens and eating
eggs. He could not afford to keep a
dog.
Goats are grand invention, and
Maurice concluded to profit by the
discovery. So he bought flock of
four goats from a neighbor and
turned them into his barnyard. Two
of these were billies.
One evening Maurice was attracted
to the barnyard by the cries of his
aged mother-in-law, whose rheuma-
tism is SO bad she has great difficulty
in walking.
He rushed to her aid and found her
safely perched on a stump nearly
four feet high with a billygoat on
each side of her and her apron full of
eggs. The conundrum was solved.
The poor old woman never had an
appetite to eat when the others did,
and the cause became apparent. She
admitted that she was the robber all
along of the hen fruit.-Indianapolis

DEAR EDITORS :-You have not heard from
me for long time. We are all well as usual
and have gotten over the primary scare.
Some of the boys stood firm, while others
were driven into the ranks. When the great
Colonel Tom made his raid on the rural towns
he made his mark. He TOOK the brave Billy
by the throat and said you must come with
me, but he said no, | will not; but when the
Chief of Records came on the field, with gilt
Iering sword, land little sack to the handlel
VIM. sayeth, II will go out and bring in the
Dutch, | knoweth how to handle them"
Then the Colonel sayeth to the Chief-we
have done great things today; we are now
ruler over few things and soon will be ruler
over many. Then the Colonel sought Abra-
ham, but Abraham sayeth no, | will be id
if do; but the Colonel said, you must come
into line, as you know you will want to vote
this fall.
Then the Colonel sayeth to Abraham, ''you
go to the Great Sachem in town and d-n if
he don't fix you" And, behold, Abraham
goeth aad meets the Great Sachem and comes
home well pleased.
When the Colonel goeth home and sayeth
to the Chief have Abraham by the throat,
he is mine, the Chief did not believe him.
Then the Colonel sayeth, how can you doubt
me, as you know me to be truthful. And
there was great rejoicing. The Chief sayeth,
you are great man; you shall have place
on my staff, and my Lieutenants Billy and
Abraham shall be promoted.
And when the day came, the army came
in droves to meet an imaginary foe, and then
found that their supposed enemies were their

THE sHELLMAN HEIRS.
Erom The Raltlmnre News


The following additional particulars regard
ing the proposed suit in equity for appoint
ment of a trustee to sell the lot Of ground at
l. and twenty first streets, northwest, Wash
ingtqn, ID. c., has been obtained.
The property belonged to John Shellman,
an old German settler, who died in Frederick,
Nd, in 1876, Henry L. Smith Of Frederick,
Nd, and William S. Bramhall of Washing
ton, ID. c., heirs by purchase, are the parties
who are reported as abont bringing the suit.
John Shellman vas an ancestor of some of
the best citzensOt Maryland. Georgia, Texas,
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Cali
fornia and eight other States, whether meas
ured mentally or socially. the Baers Of Balti-
more, the Shellmans Of Westminster, Tysons
of Frederick and Schleys of Hagerstown and
Cumberland, being some of them.
When John Shellman died his executors,
by some oversight, did not do anything with
the lot in Washington. and the heirs knew
nothing about it. Sixty years ago it was sold
at Il tax sale and Frederick A. Schley, John
Shellman's grandson, whose name every old
Maryland should remember, as he was one of
the most noted and able lawyers of the State,
bought the lot and held it, paying the taxes
on it, and at his death left it to his three sons,
of whom Colonel Buchanan Schley Of Hagers-
town, now Surveyor of the Port of Baltimore,
is the sole survivor.
For the past six years VIM. L. Bramhall, a
Washington real estate Spectator, has been
trying to get possession of the lot He has
managed to secure the interest of some of the
heirs at law. by purchase, but the number is
small. Henry l.. Smith purchased what he
thought to be a fifth interest, but did not get
it Messrs. Bramball and Smith claim to have
obtained by purchase the interests of the half
a thousand heirs.
Mr.. Harry j. Shelman, of 65 Cooper ST.,
Brooklyn, N. Y, who is one of the heirs and
who says that he is in communication with
very many of them, declares Messrs. Bran
hall and Smith are in error in supposing they
have control of majority of the interests in
volved. He says Mr.. Smith controls less
than one.ffth of the interests and Mr.. Bran
hall not more than one-tenth. He also fur
Their claims that the lot was valued as high as
5000 in 1888 and is now worth great deal
more. In his opinion, while the heirs would
favor satisfactory settlement of the matter,
Messrs. Bramhall and Smiths proceeding
will meet with decided opposition.
