No "orange" Tea if He Knew 1t.

Anastatia O'Dwyer, a pretty, buXom
specimen Of the true Irish colleen, lives
with her parents in the classic precincts
of the Lumber district. Among her
friends she was known as Brownie, !"
possibly because her hair was brown and
maybe because she looked like one of
Palmer Cox favorite types. Brownie"
was in love, like all her girl friends, and,
having been to a select school in West
Troy she was looked upon as the belle
Of the district.
Her father had made money selling
building-sand off another mans lot and
they lived in pretty good style.
Brownie" came home for her summer
vacation the other day, and "the old
man." as she still called her father,
wanted to have some sort of social
celebration of the event. "How good of
you, pop" said Brownie" when she
heard of it.
"Devil a bit do care for the ixpinse,
Brownie, but we mustn't have a blow
out" said the old man as he hung his
red shirt on the piano and wiped the
sweat of good honest toll from his brow
with the plush draperies.
"How delightful, gushed "Brownie, Z"
"we will have an orange tea"
"An orange tay is ft?" said Pop"
Faith an yees IL have no orange tay in
this house. If it's tay yees must have
it'll be Crane tay or no tay at all. -

Anthony the Wanderer.

Insight into the strange condition of
the popular mind of Russia at the close
of this nineteenth century is afforded by
the immense renown and influence en-
joyed at present by peripatetic saint
who goes by the name of Anthony the
Wanderer and who for more than forty
years has been perpetually on the move,
his peregrinations extending all over
Siberia, Central Asia and European
Russia. In the depth of winter, just as
in the height of summer, he marches
barefooted and almost entirely devoid
of clothing.
Fifty pounds weight of iron chains
are welded about his shoulders and
body, while his waist is encircled by an
iron belt weighing thirty pounds more
closed with lock, the key of which
was cast into the Arctic ocean. Thus
equipped. Anthony the Wanderer has
spent two-score years in tramping all
over the Russian empire, collecting
enormous sums of money for the build
ing of churches and schools in places
where they are needed and without
keeping q single kopek for himself. He
is yenerated, we are told, not alone by
the ignorant peasanty but also by the
most highly educated and affluent class
es and men and women of all sorts and
conditions of life and described as ap-
plying to him for advice in matters
spiritual, worldly and even hygienic.-

Rider Haggard on Journalism.

Rider Haggard has been suggesting
that Journalism ought to be controlled
by regulations modelled on those which
govern the clerical, legal and medical
professions. Before becoming journal
ist man ought to subscribe to thirty
nine or more articles, eat dinners and
pass an examination. We suppose,
moreover, observes the Illustrated Lon
don Nee0s, that if he offended against
the rules of the corporation he would
be technically liable to expulsion, just
as solicitor is struck off the rolls or
barrister disbarred Rider Haggard
does not enter into any details to show
how this scheme would work. How
could editors be compelled to refuse en-
ployment to writer's who had not taken
their degree at the institute of journal
lists? And if a journalist wrote some
thing that tickled the public but dis
pleased the oracles of the institute, how
could he be debarred or struck off the
list of legitimate practitioners? What
editor would submit to a self-denying
ordinance by declining the copy" of a
man who increased the sale of his
paperP Mr.. Haggard is about to give
some of his attention to journalism, and
he will discover before long that it is
no more possible to exact certificates
from journalists than from novelists.

The sunflower of Siberia.

"One of the greatest curiosities I ever
met with in my travels" said Prof.
Philip L. Newman of Cincinnati, sis the
sunfiower that blooms in the northern
portion of Siberia, where the earth is
continually covered with a coating of
snow and frost. This wonderful plant
shoots forth from the frozen soil on the
first day of the year and reaches the
height Of about three feet; it blooms on
the third day, remains open twenty
four hours, and then returns to its orig
inal clements. 1t shines for single
day, then the stem, leaves and flower
are converted into snow. The leaves
are three in number. The flower is
star-shaped, its petals about as long as
the leaves and about half an inch wide.
On the third day the extremities of the
leaves show little glistening specks, like
diamonds, about the size of the head of
a pin. These are the seedso this queer
flower. | was told that on one occasion
some of these seeds were gathered and
hastily transported to st. Petersburg.
They were there placed in a bed of
snow, where they were kept until the
first of the following year, when the
sunfower burst forth and was greatly
admired and wondered at by all who
saw it. st. Louis Gl06e-Dena0crat,

HANGING DESERTERs.
Tragic Incident of the War Between the
United States and Mexico.

A tragic incident of Scott's campaign
in Mexico was recently told by Gen.
McKinstry, a veteran of that war, TO
writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The occurrence, as thus graphically re-
lated, has been CLOSED over or omitted
as of no importance by the historians of
that glorious march.
cat the battle of Churubusco," said
the general, "we captured large num-
Der of deserters from our service, who
were duly tried by court-martial and
sentenced to execution by hanging.
"The execution of one batch of these
miserable creatures by Gen. Harvey
was somewhat tragical. In field near
the convent of Churubusco stood trees
with crotched tops, along which poles
were extended, on which hides were
dried by the MeXicans. On these ridge
poles some sixty or seventy deserters
were executed by hanging. Harney,
acting as provost marshal, had charge
of the execution. For this purpose an
adequate number of six-mule govern
ment teams were driven and stationed
under the ridge poles alternately, SO
that the leads of one team stood next to
the tails of that adjoining it. The tail
boards OF the wagons were turned up,
and on each was placed a prisoner, with
a rope around his neck fastened to the
ridge poles.
All this was done and the necessary
preparations for execution made within
sight of the castle of Chepultepec, which
at that moment was being assaulted by
our forces. The operations of the
troops as they ascended the broken ac-
clivity toward the heights, carrying re-
doubts, and clambering over rocks,
chasms and ravines, under the hottest
fire of cannon and musketry, were in
full view of the condemned. All were
kept standing on their scaffolds (the
tailboards OF the army wagons) during
the battle of Chepultepec Ga long time
to waltz over two hours. Some of the
prisoners were defiant and impudent,
indulging in profane and insolent Ian
guage. Harvey said to them: Don't
be impatient, you rascals. As soon as
you see the Mexican flag come down
from Chepultepec and our flag go up,
you will 90 up, too. This was to be
the signal of their doom, and when at
length the American flag was unfurled
on the castle of Chepultepec, glorious
and animating sight to all but these
men, big drum at one end of the scat
fold doomed out and with yell the
drivers whipped up their mules, and,
| driving from under the ridge poles, the
miserable wretches were left suspended
by the neck, with their legs dangling
| in the air."

DELIGHTS THE SWIMMER ENJOYS.
If Possible Learn in the Sea, Under Direo-
tion of Skilled Companion.

The woman who cannot swim has
Just one advantage-shed does not know
the delight she is missing. Only those
ing the waters with steady strokes and
of feeling themselves borne up by the
waves know anything about the joys
to swim the first requisite is confidence
- almost reckless confidence. The
woman who is absolutely sure that the
water will do its part toward bearing
her up has learned at least half her
lesson. Then she wants teacher OF
strokes, and according to the N. Y.
World no better one can be found than
an athletic young brother who has been
in the habit of receiving annual chastise-
ment about the 1st of May for "going
in" too soon. If she has not such a
valuable possession, a swimming school,
with its instructors, is not bad. But the
best school is the sea, and the best
teacher some skillful companion.
The pupil will not find the arm stroke
difficult but she will discover an awful
tendency on her part to let her legs
drag behind her motionless. An excel.
lent way to counteract this tendency i;
to have piece of board small enough
to be lightly clasped at the edges and
light enough to float even when SC
caught, and to hold the hands stationary
on this while practicing the foot motion
1t is difficult to acquire the graceful
art if one wears flannel garments o
many folds. The most sensible swim

blouse and divided skirt of lightweight
jersey. Or one may wear tight-fittins

PROBLEMS IN ANIMAL LIFE.
Some of the Unaccountable Things Done
by Birds, Fowls, Beasts and Insects.

The greyhound runs by sight only,
says the Philadelphia Times. This is a
fact. The carrier pigeon flies his hum
dreds Of miles homeward by eyesight,
noting from point to point objects that
he has marked. This is only conjuct-
ure. The dragon fly, with 1900 lenses
in his eye, darts from angle to angle
with the rapidity of flashing sword,
and as rapidly darts back, not turning
in the air, but with clash reversing the
action of his four wings and instantane-
ously calculating the distance of the OBJ
jects, or he would dash himself to pieces.
But in what conformation of the eye
does this power consist? No one can
answer.
Ten thousand mosquitoes dance up
and down in the sun, with the minutest
intervals between them, yet no one
knocks another headlong on the grass
or breaks leg or wing, long and
delicate as they are. Suddenly a
peculiar, high-shouldered, vicious Great
ure, with long and pendant nose, darts
out of the rising and falling cloud and,
settling on your cheek, inserts a poison
Gus sting. What possessed the little
wretch to do thisP Did he smell your
blood while he was dancing? No one
knows.
A carriage comes suddenly upon some
geese in a narrow road and drives
straight through the flock. A goose
was never yet fairly run over, nor a
duck. They are under-the very wheels
and hoofs, and yet they contrive to
flap and waddle safely off. Habitually
stupid, heavy and indolent, they are,
nevertheless, equal to anv emergency.
Why does the lonely woodpecker,
when he descends from his tree and
goes to drink, stop several times on his
way and listen and look around before
he takes his draughtp No one knows.
How is it that the species of ant which
is taken in battle by other ants to be
made slaves should be the black or negro
ant? No one knows.
The power of judging of actual
danger and the free and easy boldness
that results from it are by no means un-
common. Many birds seem to have a
correct notion of guns range, and are
scrupulously careful to keep beyond it.
The most obvious resource would be to
fly right away out of sight and hear
ing, but this they do not choose to do.
A naturalist of Brazil gives an ac-
count of an expedition that he made to
one of the islands of the Amazon to
shoot spoonbills, ibises and other mag
nificent birds which are abundant there.
His design was completely baffled, how
ever, by wretched little sand-piper,
which preceded him, continually utter
ing his tell-tale cry, which at once
aroused all the birds within hearing.
Throughout the day did this individual
bird continue its self-imposed duty of
sentinel to others, ,eifectually preventing
the approach of the hunter to the game
and yet managing to keep out OF the
range of his gun.

How to Make Whisky.

1t is very simple matter to make an
illicit still. A man who knows how can
make one in very few minutes, and it
will cost practically nothing. The
moonshiner frequently takes an old
sprinkling can and soldiers the top on
tight Then he arranges bucket of
water and cuts hole near the bottom
of the bucket to allow the rubber hose,
which he will attach TO the spout of the
sprinkling can, to pass out, after he has
coiled it in the bucket and thus made a
worm. Then he pounds up some corn
and puts enough water with it to make
a mush, fills his sprinkling can, builds a
fire under it, and there he has still.
The steam which arises from the mush
is condensed as it passes through the
hose, and when the condensed liquid
trickles out of the other end it is whisky.

Best-Dressed Woman in the World.


The best-dressed woman in the world
is said to be Queen Marguerite of
Italy. Her wardrobe includes a count
less variety of elegant costumes, and
she seldom wears a dress more than
once. This is not quite such a reck-
Iessly extravagant proceeding as at
first appears, for the queen sells her
gowns to buyers, who are very glad
to get them, even at the high prices
which are charged for them. In this
connection there is pretty story told.
Not long since Queen Marguerite asked
her royal consort for his opinion as to
whether she was still young enough to
wear her favorite costume of white
muslin. His majesty replied: This
matter requires reflection" Two
weeks later box was carried to the
queens apartments; when it was open
ed the box was found to be filled with
white gowns which King Humbert had
ordered.

WHY HE WAS NOT HANGED ASA THIEF.
Citizens of Texas Town Who Have No
Faith in BoOms.

There is town in Texas so poor and
measly that it's own inhabitants stay
there only because theyare rs poor as it
is, though, perhaps, not quite as meas
ly, for they are conscious of their con-
dition. Whatever else they are they
have a strong sense of State pride, and
they will hang a man as quick for horse
stealing as will the inhabitants of the
most tourishing and richest city in the
State. Some time ago stranger in
the town was arrested on suspicion, and
held until the recent disappearance of
two horses could be investigated. Be
fore the investigation was concluded the
citizens held meeting and decided to
have public trial of their prisoner. He
was brought out on the square, and be-
fore they had found tree suitable for
their purpose a man in the crowd
recognized the man.
Friends and fellow citizens" he
shouted from a barrel he had climbed
on. 'you are about to make a dreadful
mistake. This gentleman is not a horse
thief, but friend of mine, and a
reputable citizen of the City of Waco.
He came here during my absence to see
a gentleman who was coming from St.
Louis"
"What did he want here?" asked the
spokesman of the Citizens committee.
"He came on a matter of business"

The committee held a consultation and
in few minutes the spokesman was
ready to report.
well, Colonel, he said, addressing
the man on the barrel as he united the
prisoners hands and took the rope from
around his neck, "on your statement
that he did not steal them hosses we will
let the prisoner go, and besides, speak
in of his business here, we amt the
kind of people that wants to hang a
crazy man, nohow," and the gentleman
from Waco got back to Waco as fast as
he could with busted boom on his
hands. Detroit Free Press
