A popular prize just now for card par
ties or for summer souvenirs Is tho tiny
chatelaine dictionary. The trinket is
finding rapid sale at present, not only
for such purposes as named, but be:
cause OF the individual recognition oil
the real value Of tho little article. Tho
tinv booklet, not much larger than a
postage stamp of tho old yermilion
tyne, contains in its leaves 5000 words
with their meaning. When snug In its
silver case it is no thicker than an or
binary locket, while its size. as stated,
is OF the postage stamp order. In the
silver cover Of the littlo dictionary a
magnifying glass is affixed. When the
owner desires to look up word, he
simply opens the little lockes. holds the
cover with its glass over the pages, and
tho print appears as fne type, easily
readable. The case which forms the
cover OF the dictionary comes In silver
or gold, though the silver has the pre-
ference. The ladies buy the trinkets
and fasten them to their chatelatnes.
The gentlemen treat Thorn like post
AGE stamp or match case, and carry
them loosely in their vest pockets.

All who arc engaged in physical labor

dishes that arc obtainable. Underdone
beef and well.cooked mutton are the
meats they need. Pork should be eaten
only by those who have constitutions
OF iron, who work hard in the open air,
and never know what an ache nor q
pain is. There is not O disease which
human flesh Ia heir to which pork may
not cause, nor pain 1t may not pro-
duce. A well known New York
physician, referring to pork, has said:
:Itis the parent OF dyspepsia, neuralgia,
headache, sleeplessness, biliousness,
constipation, hypochondria and every
other physical i'll" II it must DO eaten
be sure that it is thoroughly cooked.
The rcd and dark meats arO more stimu:

than white meats, owing to o property
called osmazome contained in thefbrine.
1t is that principle which gives to meat
soups their aroma and taste. and the
darker the meat the more osmazone Ia
present. 1t is almost absent from veal
and all young meats, and from the white

Correspondence Of Philadelphia Record.
A fight between a big crab and q
rattlesnake is tho latest diversion, and
the crab came Of victorious.
Mayor William S. McCombs had sent
to him by friend in West Virginia q
large rattlesnake. It aeems that the
mayor has an antipathy to the reptile
family, so he turned the snake over to
merchant. who placed 1t in his store
window, whore 1t attracted considerable
attention. A chicken was placed in the
box and it was Immediately dispatched.
A largo rat was put in with the snake
mex. but in Eve minutes after tho tangs
struck it was dead. A largo and lively
crab was then placed in the box. Al
most Immediately tho crab showed
fight; throwing out one OF it's claws 1t
caught tho snake by the neck. The
snake became furious. being hold go
firmly BY the crab that it could not
strike. 1t whipped its tail 50 iiercely
against tho bottom Of tho case that two
OF Its rattles were broken of. Tho crab
would undoubtedly have killed the
snake, had not spectator intcrfered
and broke its claw oil. The snake has
been sent to the management Of the
Geological Garden, at Philadelphia.

Something For Nothing.

"The darkest hour in any young mans
life,n says Horace Greeley, "is when he
sits down to plan how to get money with
out earning it,"
There are more ways than one of max
ing this fatal mistake of trying to get
something for nothing. The criminal way
is the worst morally, but not the most
common.
Almost as demoralizing to character,
though not positively criminal, are the
many ways of trying to increase ones
wealth at the expense of others-by gam
bling. Still third way of getting some
thing for nothing is to hunt for sine
cure. The new mayor of Brooklyn, elected
on strong platform of municipal reforla,
returning home from short trip just aft
er his election, found three bushels Of let
tiers from applicants for Office, most Of
them, it is safe to say, from lazy young
men who wanted an ''easy place"
This incident has led to the quotation OF
President Lincoln's apt saying, "lf ever
this free people-this governments ut
terly demoralized, it will come from this
human struggle for office-a way to live
without work"
Value for value is the only rule in bust
ness, politics and norals.-Youth's Com
panion.

train four lions to jumpa gate. One Of
them was 30 stubborn that determined
to leave him for the last. When came to
him, he was lying in corner. l began
striking him. He sprang up and came to-
ward me. He had a wicked look, SO l hit
him sharp blow from below on the end
of the nose with my cane, the only weapon

him so it turned him around, and as IL to
