QUEER HUMAN NATURE.

What Is Food for One Man Is Rankest
Poison for Another.
Human nature continues to be as
''queer" as it ever was. The mayor of
Portland, Me-, in an address at recent
temperance meeting, says the New
York Post, told of a young Englishman
who came to that city seven years ago in
order to escape the temptations of open
saloons, which he could not resist and
which threatened his ruin, and who
has been sober ever since, and has risen
from earning four dollars a week to q
salary of twenty-five hundred dollars a
year. On the other hand, we have been
told by a clergyman in another Maine
city of a young man who was being
ruined there by the temptations Of the
''social clubs" which took the place Of
saloons as drinking places, and who
came to New York for salvation, which
he found there, because the open rum
shop had no charms for him. In like
manner many of the most thoughtful
and conservative citizens Of Des Moines,
"a, have signed the petition for the
introduction of saloons in that city I'M
der the new liquor law, because they
believe that the change will diminish
the terrible amount Of drunkenness
among our young men which has pre-
vailed under the prohibitory law and
the club system. These instances show
how differently the same Influences
affect different persons and how impos-
sible it is to find any system which is
perfect.

TOO WARM FOR COMFORT.

A Spot in Persia Where the Thermometer
Shows 100 I'm the Shade.
The hottest region on the earth's sur
face is on the southwestern coast of
Persia, on the borders of the Persian
gulf, says an exchange. For forty con-
secutive days in the months of July
and August the mercury has been
known to stand above one hundred de-
grees in the shade night and day, and
to run up as high as one hundred and
thirty degrees in the middle of the aft
ernoon. At Bahrin, in the center of
the most torrid part Of this most torrid
belt, as though it was natures inten-
ton to make the place as unbearable
as possible, water from wells is some
thing unknown. Great shafts have
been sunk to a depth Of five hundred
feet, but always with the same result
mo water. Notwithstanding this
serious drawback, a numerous pop
ulation contrives to live there,
thanks to copious springs, which burst
forth from the bottom of the gulf more
than mile from the shore. The wa
ter from these springs is obtained in a
most curious and novel manner. Macha-
dores, whose sole occupation is that OF
furnishing the people of Bahrin with
the life-giving fluid, repair to that por-
tion of the gulf where the springs are
situated, and bring away with them
hundreds of skin bags full of the water
each day. The water of the gulf where
the springs burst forth is nearly two
hundred feet deep, but the machadores
-divers--manage to fill their goat
skin sacks by diving to the bottom and
holding the mouths Of the bags over the
fountain jets; this, too, without allow
ing the salt water of the gulf to mix
with it, The source of these subma-
rine fountains is thought to be in the
hills of Osmond, five hundred miles
away. Being situated at the bottom of
the gulf, it is a mystery how they were
ever discovered, but the fact remains
that they have been known since the
dawn of history.

few days. Finally hit on something

History Of the cuisine fairly TEEN,
with descriptions of costly meals" re
marked a resident of Brooklyn recent
~ to a writer for the Washington Star
"We read how that prodigate Hello
gabalus, the Roman emperor, had q
single dish on his table once that cost
two hundred thousand dollars, and how
another Roman, Aelin Verus, gave a
supper to dozen cronles. that cost a
quarter Of million dollars. Then
Vitellius, still another Roman and an
emperor, likewise entertained his
brother at a little smack that used up
couple of hundred thousand; but
these were ancient fellows, who had
nightingales' tongues and humming
birds brains and similar marvellous
dainties. Coming down to modern days
and plain, ordinary, everyday ham and
eggs, ! ate supper once in this very
town that cost 9 friend Of mine four
teen hundred dollars. A gentleman
named Parker kept an blishment
devoted to entertaining gentlemen at
sundry games of chance. One night
the friend speak of and myself were
killing an evening here together, when
we conceived the idea that visit to
Parker's would be just the thing. We
put it into execution at once. I have
never gambled in my life, and my
friend has not done it since. We went
upstairs and entered the room just as
supper was announced. My friend did
not want to eat anything, but was
hungry, and when some plausible ras-
cal of a dealer told me that there was
broiled Smithfeld ham fanAed with
pullets' eggs as sort of side issue to
the otherwise gorgeous feast broke
for the supper room, despite my COM
panion's pleadings. OF course he fol-
lowed me when he found his protesta-
tions were useless, and we enjoyed the
feed immensely. When we came out
my friend pulled out twenty dollar
bill and said he would play turn or
two to pay for our supper. begged
him in turn not to do it, but he was as
obdurate as / had been. He lost his
bill and tried to get it
back. In two hours fourteen hundred
dollars were gone glimmering. have
never felt SO downright hungry since

quaintance cannot keep me away from

Frightful But Laughable Experience on
the Red Sea.

Frightful But Laughable Experience on
the Red Sea.
In Werner Won Siemens' 'Perso 1al
Recollections'' the famous electrician
narrates a Red sea adventure which
might have turned out tragically. He
was laying a cable and one night was
in his restroom supervising some part
of the work, when suddenly he heard
loud shouting overhead and violent
running to and fro.
The man at the ships head, intrust-
ed with the continuous soundings, had
fallen overheard. AS the whole deck
was well lighted with gas, many of the
people there could see him in the
water, and in answer to his lusty cries
for help they threw him life-belts,
which were kept everywhere on board.
The vessel was stopped and boats
put out, which disappeared for an un-
comfortably long time in the darkness.
At last they returned with shouts of
triumph.
The man had kept himself ahoat by
swimming, and had been lucky enough
not to be seized by any Of the nu-
AACIOuS S1ldIhS WHICH u1SpOTU Gu0lQ-
selves in the Red sea, and are said to
have a special relish for white people,
while they rarely modest black. He
was trembling violently when brought
on board, and had his knife still open
In his hand.
On being questioned as to his expe-
rience he said that he had been sur
rounded by sharks, but happily had
been able to draw his knife and de.
fend himself until the boats arrived.
''We were all shivering at his vivid
description of his adventure" says Won
Siemens, when the boatswain stepped
into the ring and announced to the
captain that some of his life-belts,
which had been thrown to the unfor-
tunate man, had been recovered, and
that several of them showed curious
signs of having been pierced with
knife.'
The cold shivers gave place to good
natured laughter. In his fright the
man had taken the white belts for
sharks bellies.

Disturbance Of tho Adiuncts to the Brah.

In certain parts Of India monkeys are
regarded as objects of worship. In
; "Reminiscences of Seventy Years Life,
Travel and Adventure, . the author was
about to enter the court of large
monkey temple at Nuddea, when the
officiating Brahmin said: mo person
, must visit the court of Huniman'-the
monkey god-t'with his shoes on
After some discussion, however, the
: point was yielded, the party entering
without removing their shoes. Of an
other occasion be writes:
~ passing up the country, when near
to Nuddea, I happened to stroll into q
bamboo tope, or Jungle, when The boat
had put to for the night. had not ad-
vanced far before heard terrible up
roar all around, and was not a little
alarmed, on looking up, to behold
whole army 81 the largest monkeys
making towards me from all quarters.
Some jumped on the ground before
me, others swung by the bamboos over
my head, and many closed up the path
In my rear. Several females had young
ones clinging to them, but this did not
seem to'render them less agile than
the others. A few of the largest, and
apparently the oldest, chartered for
about half a minute together; then the
whole tribe responded, while all closed
in upon me.
What to do knew not. However,
hallooed as loudly as could to make
my people hear, and to my great COM
fort the monkeys retreated few PAGES
every time did so. This encouraged
me to persevere, but perceived that
when I began to retreat they closed
upon me again, without being affected
by my noise.
Once more stood still and gave
tremendous shout, when back they
went again. gained full twenty
yards this time before they came
jumping around; and just as was
about to repeat the call, my hopes
were raised by beholding poor, de-
crepit old woman some hobbling
through the midst of them.
She shook two or three of them by
the paws as she passed; but no sooner
mad She come within hearing than she
opened upon me a torrent of abuse for
disturbing the sacred animals in their
retirement. She motioned me, with
almost frantic gestures, to depart
quickly, and her tongue never ceased
till was quite out of hearing.
I was not long in fulfilling her COM
mands, as the monkeys all seemed i'm
plicitly to obey her bidding, and made
a way for my retreat. When quilted
the jungle met my servant, who said
he was coming to tell me not to dis
turb the monkeys, as HUFFMAN owned
that bamboo grove. The old woman,
it appeared, was employed by the
Brahmins to give the monkeys food
every day; beside which they were
by all the people in the
country round, who brought offerings
of rice and sweetmeats to them contin-
ually.

Deifying . Chinese Woman.

It is possible for any Chinaman, or
even any Chinese woman, to become q
deity by paying for the honor. A few
years ago q rich and devout Chinese
lady died in Soochoo. Her friends
thought that an apotheosis was no
more than her due, and commu nicated
with the priests, who interviewed the
gods on the subject, and discovered
that the god Of the left little toenail
had no wife. The old lady was accord
ingly married to his godship, and Is
now enrolled as the goddess Of the
left little toenail." The honor cost tho.

Two of the main through wires be-
tween New York and Boston were re-
Gently reported Sin trouble east OF
New London, says the New York Sun.
They positively refused to work at all
in the morning, but from about eleven
o'clock in the forenoon until eleven
o'clock at night they were found to be
all right From this popularity they
came to be known as "the twelve-hour
wires,' and Lineman Williams was di-
rected to find out what the matter was
with them. He located 1.-THE trouble
as being between Neank and Poquon-
mock Bridge, and then walked back and
forth and forth and back along the
rails, with his eyes scanning the row
of telegraph poles and wires in vain
search for the mischievous cross. He
kept up the hunt for two or three days,
and finally, just as he had given up in
despair, and was swinging himself on
to a train to go home, he caught sight
of a large cobweb in the shadow of a
big elm tree, which was bound from
one of the cratic wires to the other.
Williams came back to the cobweb the
next morning and eyed it eagerly. He
was not long in climbing the pole near
est to it, and then he saw that the web
was the really gigantic product Of
several spiders, it's big white surface
Tapping idly to and fro between the
two wires which it connected. Its face
was bespangled with big gems of dew;
in fact, the condition was the same as
if the two wires had been connected
with sheet of muslin saturated with
water Nothing will9'cross" and "kill"
two electrically charged wires more
efectually than a wet substance Of this
kind connecting them. When the sun
dried the dew off the cobweb the
Gross disappeared, and did not come
back again until q rainstorm came or
the next dew fell. Williams gathered
the cobweb and stuffed it in his coat
pocket. It made large handful.
There was no more trouble with the
wires after that. When the ineman
reported the matter to the eastern chief
of the company at Boston he got
laughed at for his pains, but on the
following day he told his adventure
with the cobweb to Superintendent:
Fred Fairchild, of the New Haven of
fee, an expert electrician, who.
declared that it was the cob
web which crossed the wire and at.
once sat down to a telegraph machine:
and talked for half an hour with the.
Boston chief, explaining to him where:
he was in error in assuming cobweb
could not ''cross" telegraph wire. :.
