The Tramp on Salt Water.

Did you ever know that tramps travel by sea as we'll as by land?" in quired sea captain. Well, they do, and in the past two seasons more of lem have taken to the salt water route than ever before. Coasting vessels are the favorite craft for the tramps. They manage to get aboard just as boat is about to sail and hide themselves in the hold, where they stay until the tug that pulls the vessel out casts off and leaves her, when they make their pres ence known. Sometimes there will be five or six of 'em aboard, and such a crowd Is liable to make provisions run low before port is reached. Of course they are put to some kind of work, but there's mighty little to do aboard a coaster that landlubber understands. These tramps are just like their land brothers. They are merely desirous of going from one place to another and keeping on the move all the time, all though they sometimes tell mighty pitt full stories. I understand the evil is a good deal worse on the Pacific than it Is on the Atlantic coast, but it's bad enough on this side, assure yoW"- Washington Star.

The little French doll was dear little doll Trcked out in the sweetest of dresses;
 Her eyes were of hue
 A most delicate blue And dark as the night were her tresses; Her dear little moLth was fluted and red, And this little French doll was so very well bred That whenever nccosted her lltto mouth
 Mamma! Mamma" The stockinet doll, with one arm and ono leg, Had once been handsome young fellow,
 But now he appeared
 Rather frowzy and bleared In his torn regimentals of yellow; Yet his heart gave curious thuinp as he lay In the little toy cart near the window one day And heard the sweet voice of that French dolly sW;umo, ssy; u.m,,om He listened so long and he listened so hard That anon he grew ever so tender,
 For it's everywhere known
 That the feminine tone Gets away with all masculine gender. He up and he wooed her with soldierly zest, But all she'd reply to the love he professed Were these plaintive words (which perhaps you have guessedl:
 Mamma! Mammal" Her mother-a sweet little lady of five Vouchsafed her parental protection,
 And although stockinet
 Wasn't blue-blooded yet, She really could make no objection. So soldier and dolly were welded one day. And moment ago, as jonrneyed that way, I'm sure that heard a wee baby voice say:

The Husbands Stratagem.

An inhabitant of Voro, in Finland, named Sellquist, who for a long time past has been living on bad terms with his wife, had lately narrow escape from being poisoned by her. She called at a chemists and asked for some. rat poison. AS these creatures are very rarely seen in that neighborhood, the chemist had his suspicious aroused, and gave the woman a perfectly harm less drug. On second thought he de- cided to mention the matter to the husband, and requested him to say nothing about it to his wife. In the evening, as she was preparing the DOT ridge, the man kept watchful eye on her movements and noticed that she scattered something out of paper in to the sauce pan. When the DOT ridge was ready he sat down to the table and began to eat. After a while he got up in great excitement, paced up and down the room and at last fell fainting on the floor. This was what the woman expected. She now pulled down a rope through hole in the cell ing with 8 moose, which she placed around her husbands neck, whereup. on she ran upstairs in the garret in or, der to pull up the rope and hang hel husband in that fashion. Meantime the husband got up and tied a few chairs to the rope. The wife did not return to the room, as she dreaded the sight, but went out into the village te raise an alarm, saying that her bus
 band had hanged himself in her-ab sence. When she came back with z host of neighbors and crocodile tears 1T her eyes, there was her husband sit
 ting at the table, laughing till his side! ached. The chairs were still dangling on the rope.-Novoye vremya.

 This cap fitted n certain individual, and Sister Disgs showed her appreela- ton Of the situation by jumping rom her seat, rushing 10 the front Of the platform and saying in lightning tones: ''That's lie; that's lie!" Sister Lease didn't stop to discuss the point SO lucidly made by Sister Diggs, but she looked straight over her head and said: "I have the floor. I would like to sec any one undertake to keep Mrs. Lease from talking to the people Of kansas. They would have too great contract on their hands, n bigger one than George NJ. Pullman has," Sister Diggs evi- dently felt the force of this statement, for she glided back to her seat and kept stitl, even when Sister Lease referred to her as "that so-called reform woman. :"
 While this scene could hardly be called grand one 1t was impressive. There was consciousness of power in Mrs. Lease's assertion thnt she would like to see anyone undertake to stop her from talking to the people of Kan sas. And that the power Is there Is made plain by the fact that the asser- tion caused sistor Diggs to shut up and stay shut After this 1t is not probable that anybody will try to stop Mrs. Lease from talking to the people of Kansas. It is too late. And 1t serves the people of Kansas right for ever letting her begin to talk to them.

c. washinrton's Ordeal Yet to Con

q. Washington's Ordeal Yet to Como.
 For over one hundred years George Washington has been held up to the young Americans of the land as a mod el of veracity. His fame as truth-tell- CT has rested securely upon the immor- tai tale of the cherry tree and the hatchet Now, however. there is req son to fear that this reputation of the Father of his Country will suffer If not entirely vanish.
 His inveterate biographer, William Spohn Baker, has unearthed a story of fishing trip on tn lower Delaware in one of Washington's diaries, and will soon give it to the world. If the fish story holds water, then the cherry tree sinks into insignificance, and the great Georges veraclty will assume more majestic proportions than ever. Mir. Baker promises to complete his long and fruitful labors in Washingtoniana with a biography of his hero's career from the date of his commission as commander -in- chief of the Continental army, through all the important revo- lutionary campaigns and the presiden- tial administrations. This biography will be final authoritative estimate of the Cincinnatus of the new world.- Philadelphia Record.

EnRlish Lotteries,

tTrom the Saturday Review.1
 The English lottery continued for 250 years, though at first it's employment as a means for raising money was ir- regular, interrupted, held at long inter- vals, and regarded with suspicion. The first recorded lottery ever held in Eng land was that of the year 1869. It was projected in 1566. but was taken up so slowly that three years elapsed before the drawing. The bill. or program, of this lottery is preserved in the muni- ment room of Loxley house, in Surrey. It is described as being five feet long by nineteen inches wide; in black letter: at the top there is an illustration of the prizes.
 The number of lots was 400, ,0o0; the proceeds were to be spent in repairing the havens and in other public works.

Bathing Suits.

From H0rpefS baZar.J
 Black and white together are so pop ular this season that they are consid- cred the right coloring for bathing suits. Tho material is alpaca or slight ly heavier mohair. These stir wiry materials do not cling to the wearer when wet, and their smooth faces sheds water as freely as dust
 Exigeante women who induce their modistes to make bathing dresses for them have black alpaca trimmed with wide bands white alpaca overlaid along the middle with black Hercules braid. The waist is a black French blouse dropping low on a white alpaca belt, and having a large white sailor collar. Puffed sleeves reach to the elbow or wrist, as the wearer chooses, or, if she swims we'll, they are quite short. A divided skirt of the same goods is at tached to the same belt used for the blouse. This skirt reaches just to the knee and is concealed by 8 short pleat- ed skirt, which falls below the knee, and has wide white border banded with black braid. A white silk hand kerchief passes under the sailor collar, and is tied in front in a sailors knet.
 In the shops are black mohair suits of servicable quality costing $I50 to $S.bo. Some of these are made with g square yoke piped with white. Six meeting pleats, are in front and back below the yoke, and again at the belt. Drawers attached oto this belt reach below the knee. where they are i've eighths of a yard wide, and are tinisned

spangled tulle.

With all this age for e1aborateness 1t is we'll not to become discouraged with all the fluff and frills. The plain dress Is just as pretty and as stylish in it's way and perhaps the better suited to pretty flgurte. Not necessarily the tailor-made gown, for that, of course, presents its difficulties, but perhaps something like this: a plainly cut skirt flaring in the back, and made of plaid or striped gingham, or brown holland. The skirt ends at the waist with 8 cord of white braid. The bodice fits closely, passing under the cord, and Is secured by hooks fitting into eyes on the under side of the cord. The bodice turns comes well down in the back, spreads smoothly over the shoulders and meets at point we'll under the bust line in front. The space left open is filled in with full front of white wash silk, and the folded collar is of the same. The edge of the rever is picked out
 with a design braided on with the white. The sleeves are very full at the shoulders, dropping under the wide rev CT; they gather into a band at the el- bow and below it, and if the arm is pretty 1t may be left bare. Otherwise, finish the sleeves with long cuffs, cut low over the hands and edged with braiding of white. Wear a brown straw sailor with white band. Moth ing could be simpler, easier to make or more strictly $stylish for almost all wash dress occasions. FLoRETTE.

THE FORGOTTEN FARMER.

There is "a forgotten man" who has not entered into the calculations of Dcbs and his gang. He is the farmer, who does not belong to any union ex ccpt the United States of America, and who, though he tolls much, is not ar- raycd like labor leader. But as he slumbles along after his plough or rides his moving chariot to victory over the grassy plain he does good deal of thinking. And his thinking is apt to be quite as sound as the think ing of those who live in cities and meet once week or oftener to en- courage each other to resist the tyranny of capital. The farmer doesn't take kindly to the doctrines that would make him slave instead of the free and in- dependent being he is. He knows how and when to do his work, and he can get along without orders from grand nihster workman" Indeed, he is so simple that he despises grand master workman who doesn't work. His idea of grand master workman" is one who can milk more COWS, fork over more manure, pitch more hay, hoe more po- tatoes and cut more corn than anybody in the neighborhood, and not a man who can talk more and louder than anybody else about the rights and wrongs of labor.
 The way Debs' notion is looked on by the steady, hard-headed and hard handed farmers of the country was well illustrated by an occurrence near Ham, mond the other day. A delegation of the "frends of laborn visited a railroad bridge five miles out of town and set it on fire. An old farmer named Huttel lived in the neighborhood, and he started out to give warning of the acts of the incendiaries. He was caught and held prisoner by them until their ne- farious work was finished and the blaze well under way, when, with sl threat to murder him and burn his house if he did not "keep his mouth shut" he was liberated. Farmer Huttel soon notified other farmers in the vicinity of the event that had occurred. They rallied in large numbers, armed with shotguns, pitchforks, hoehandles and corn knives, and pursued the bridge burners. The country was secured in all directions and an effective road patrol was estab. lished to guard property and hunt down the criminals.
 When Debs gets out of jail he will do well to go into the country. He can learn something among the farmers They can teach him how to fight potato bugs and other enemies of the human race, and in fighting them he can ease his warlike spirit. And as he zoe. around among the sober and steady farm people, the friendly and thought full farm animals, and the things tha, grow without noise and riot he can be. come calm and wonder how he ever got so far away from the earth as he dit

opinion that the distribution of cholera Is mainly due 10 impure water, the re- cent researches on the subject by Fried rich leave no room to doubt that, in eer- tain eases it's circulation Is distinctly trneeable to various articles of food. In these researches there were specially studied more than fifty different ar- ticles. including fruits. vegetables, milk, tca, coffee, cocoa, beer, wine, cayiare, biscuits, bonbons, tobacco, snuff, etc. In the tests with solid substances the cholera baeilli were alike rubbed on the outer surface and inoeulated on 10 slices.
