TWO PRETTY APOLOGIES.
One Made by John Burns. and the Other
by College student.

The man who writes a letter demand
ing an apology must put up with the
kind of apology he gets. says the In
dependent. Harry Furniss. the carIcat-
urist of Punch, it will be remem bered
was attacked by a member of parlia-
.nent. and an eyewitness was reported
TO have said:
lapel of the coat and shake him like a dog,
then saw him take him by the car and shake
him by that.
Mr.. Furniss, who declared that the
assault was merely technical and not
a serious one, wrote to the eyewitness,
asking if he had been correctly report
ed, and he got the following answer,
which is quite as funny as anything
that Mr.. Furniss himself ever provided
for Punch:
Sir: | understand that the statement al
trbuted TO me and referred to by you was due
10 a miSapprehensiOn OF some chatting 1e-
marks of mine in the lobby Friday last. and
regret TO say that did not see you shaken
like a dog, and am sorry to say that l did not
witness the pulling of your ear. Yours truly,
John Burns.
This reminds us of the apology made
to the faculty of Amherst college by
student who ended his life rs a foreign
missionary. An apology for an offense
having been required of all the class
he wrote as follows:
acknowledge that i attended the class
meeting and voted to go and meet the South
Hadley girls at Mount Hoyoke, but owing to
the scarcity of teams / was unable to go, for
which am very sorry.

PIPE SMOKING POPULAR,


Pipe smoking is annually becoming
more popular in the United States, says
the Cincinnati Times Star In past
times pipes were relegated TO the al
legged lower classes. OF late wears,
however, and particularly since the
craze for everything English, you
know" came in, pipe smoking has in
creased. 1t is now considered quite
too awfully swell to drop from tam
dem dog cart with the stem of short
briar root pipe tightly clinched be-
tween your teeth. 1t is a sort of fin
ishing touch to your rough-and-readY
fishing costume to have stubby pipe
in your mouth, and gives one de-
lightful sense of easy, graceful ne@li-
gent sweetness. Just as soon as the
approval of society alighted upon the
custom of pipe smoking pipes became
much in demand, and the cost OF the
same increased proportionately es-
pecially for the strictly English shapes.
1t is amusing to see fellow pre-
tending to be Judge of pipe. The
fact is that nearly all pipes smoke
pretty much the same. The cheaper
pipes smoke better than the more eX-
pensive ones as general thing. For
instance. 3 cOrncob pipe is one Of the
coolest sweetest smokes You can get.
Next comes the penny clay pipe. If
you will smoke clay pipe Il few times
and throw it away YOU win ALWAYS he
sure that you are enjoying pipe smok-
ing of the most delightful character.
The tendency of she average human
is TO buy an expensive pipe and then
color it by blowing smoke against the
bowl. This practice renders the pipe
ornamental, but as a general thing
these highly colored pipes are very
strong, and it is anything but pleasant
for persons averse to tobacco to be in
the same room with them. The Eng=
ligh smoke pipes because pipe smok-
ing is cheaper than cigar smoking.
Americans smoke pipes because the
English smoke pipes. The only man
who can properly understand pipe is
the plantation darby who puts = live
coal on top of a pipe filled with plug
tobacco. and puffs gently at Tturrer
end" of a reed stem while the purple
night shadows gathering around the
cabin and the soreech owl scares itself
and the neighborhood with its weird
laughter.

A NEW CRAZE.
Girls Look for Youn. Men with Rings on
Their Fingers.

Young men have been wondering
what it all could mean.
For the past few weeks whenever Il
young man met young lady of his
acquaintance she would closely exam
inc his fingers, and. finding ring
there, would turn it around two or
three times and be satisfied
When asked for an explanation, the
young lady would, of course, evade
the subject and laugh most sweetly at
what she would innocently call joke
But the secret is out. and it has come
to the ears Of the young men. Now
the fun will be all on the other side.
1t is new craze, this turning of
rings on the fingers of young men by
their lady friends. Where it came
from no one knows; why the girls
have all taken 1t up they, of course,
cannot explain themselves. They
think it is just too lovely, that's all.
There is a firm down town which
employs large number of young men
and women, and much dime is wasted
there during the day by the practice
OF this craze, Recently one OF the en-
ployeps discovered what it all meant,
and now there is a SIGN posted con-
spicuously in the roow which reads:
ANY employe caught practicin9 the
ring turning business will be immedi-
ately discharged"
asked mem Der OF the firm what
II was all about.
"Why, lis the erazest thing you
ever heard OF, " he said. The idea is
this: If q young lady meets a young
man with n ring on his finger she is to
turn the ring two or three times.
Then with another man the same
thing, and SO on until she has turned
rims to the extent of about twenty
four times. Then the next thing TO do
is 10 look for married person, male
or female, wearing Il marriage ring.
This ring she is to turn twice. and the
next man she shakes hands with will
be her husband.
Crazy, isn't it?" said the dignified
employer with q laugh. But that
sign there has put stop to it in this
place. The lime we have lost through
it would amount to DAYS"
| asked one of the Young ladies if
all this was true. After some hesita-
ton she admitted, with many bushes,
that il was.
OF course you girls only do it for a
joke" said l.
~Oh. no." replied she very seriously,
eve all believe in it. Why. | know of
a young lady myself who married the
very man she shook hands with after
turning the marriage ring. 1t comes
true every time"
How about YOURSELF"
We'll. I'm waiting patiently for thu
young man whom ! shook hands with
20 ask me-"
And she bounded away with 4 laugh
to join her friends.-N. T. Herald.

BULL BATTING.
1 Was Practiced In England Until the
Close of the Last Century.

The custom of batting bulls in open
spaces has been INDUCED in from time
immemorial, and probably had its
birth in the arenas of Greece and
Rome 1t was exciting but barbarous
| and disgusting amusement: yet until
the birth of the present century il was
publicly observed in almost every
village and town of the country. says
the Newcastle (England) Chronicle, and
relics of its existence are still TO be
found in various places.
In York two places were used for
this ignoble practice. One was in
Thursday Market place, or St. Samp-
sons square; the other was in the street
of Pavement. As the two places were
markets, they each had cross or corn
| chamber, and the fight invariably took
place near to such cross, so that the
people who were in a position to pay
for seat could have 4 good view of
the sport.
Pavement has lost all evidence of
game. but in St SIMPSONS square the
stone to which the bull was fastened
still remains. 1t is a very heavy stone
let into the ground fully two feet and
firmly fastened into the earth with
cement.
Formerly strong ison ring was at
| tached to the stone by two hooks,
which were let into the stone and run
with lead. Consequent on the wear of
traffic this rung became loose some
| twenty years ago and was taken pos
session of by Thomas Bell, who lived
opposite the stone. and was presented
by him to the Yorkshire Philosophical
society, who still have it in their keeps
ing. The hooks which held the ring
and the lead running remain on the
stone.
The custom was to fasten the bull to
this ring, then TO stake out ring, with
IN the circle of which no person was
permitted to 90 except those necessary
TO the performance. On a given signal
dogs were slipped by their owners and
they all attacked the chained beast,
which in turn sought TO gore or toss
them, and very frequently in the action
ii killed them.
AS fast as the dogs were killed, CT
Isaised, or wcarieG fresh dogs were
let loose on the maddened bull, and the
fight was continued for hours. until the
dogs were exhausted or the people
were sickeucd with the sight of blood.
The animal was then led away. to the
danger OF those who had witnessed the
show, or, more particularly, those WHO
bad taken part in ii.
At York the market cross formed a
point of vantage eagerly taken mp 10
witness the vulgar and demoralizine
exhibitions. Happily in the course of
time the wealthy citizens withdrew
their patronage and presence from the
scene. and the people who attended
were of so much lower grade that the
custom died out. 4 century at least
has passed since the last bull tight in

MOlasSes Dying Out.

Old-fashioned molasses, the genuine,
dark brown, saccharine, delicious adj
junct of the corn pone and the slap
jack, has become a scarce article OF
late years, and is likely 10 become
scarcer still. In fact, the old time
molasses is scarcely produced nova
DAYS, for, as sugar making machinery
is improved and the production of
sugar increases, the quantity and
quality Of tho molasses decreases
Many planters can remember the days
when, to separate the sugar from the
molasses. the boiled cane juice was
placed in barrels bored full of holes;
the molasses drained out and the SUI
gar remained in the barrel. The GEN.
trifqgal machinery now in use separ-
ates The sugar so thoroughly that but
little molasses. and that OF poor quail
ity, is left The bounty on sugar has
also operated greatly to reduce the
production of molasses. The planters
have made every effort during the
last season or two to produce the
greatest possible quantity Of sugar.
for the sake of the bOunty,and the mo-
lasses has been Of so poor 4 quality at
times as to be unmarketa bic. The
most of the molasscs made now is sold
to retincrs and reboilers, who manipu-
late il and place il on the market I'M
der variety Of pames. Many Of the
West Indian planters do not market
mOlasses at all now, but turn the
product into the rum stills. Dealers
say that the trade in molasses. for
the country at large, has been decreas-
ing greatly every year.-N I. San.

We're in Milwaukee and witnesses of
the terrible disaster to the crew of the
schooner NJ. }. Cummings Hess is
very severe on the life saving crew
and the want of proper spirit shown
by those who could render assistance.
He said it was absolutely impossible
for any Of the tugs to get lighter
with which to visit the wreck and
make an attempt TO take the people
off. He was one to volunteer to go out
on the tug. He says that with cour
age and lighters a number of those
who were drowned could, be saved.
