Economical Mr.. staybolt.

''The most economical man l know
of, said Mr. Gratebar. 'is my friend
and neighbor. Mr. Staybolt. When he
smokes a cigar, he lights it carefully
and completely, so that it will burn
perfectly and without waste, and hav-
ing so lighted it he blows out the match.
Of course he knows that match once
ignited is of no further use, but his
habit of mind is such that he hates to
see any waste of material whatever.
Some men blow out lighted match be-
fore throwing it away, so that no harm
can come from it. Mr. Staybolt may
have that in mind, too, but his actual
ing impulse no doubt springs from his
spirit of economy. New York Sun.

A HOUSE WITH A ROMANCE.
First the Home of a Quaint Quaker and
Then of a Lottery King.

On tongue of wooded land formed
by the Glebe and Goldsborough creeks
in Talbot county there is a house with
a romantic story. When, in 1861, Wen
lock Christison, the Quaker, was seized
by Puritan mob headed by the Rev.
Seaborn Cotton, tried and condemned
by Governor Endicott to die, pardoned
by the king and let off with a f1ogging
/ at the carts tail on the highway, he
found sanctuary in Maryland, where
Lord Baltimore granted him asylum on
the tongue of land that cOols itself in
the pleasant waters of ST. Michael's
river-Miles they call it now. Here the
indomitable Quaker abode and prosper
ed, wearing his hat i'll the presence OF
governors and magistrates and testify
ing for ''the truth and the light with
out fear of clubs or cart tails. Those
easy going eastern shOremen actually
made him burgess, and he and his de-
scendants long dwelt IL peace in the old
brick manor house. of which q frag-
ment still survives.
In time by lapse Of heirs the place
fell to the possession of Richard France,
the famous lottery king" of Maryland,
who built the turreted villa there and
adorned the ground with fountains and
winding walks, Conservatives and gar
den gods, to the ELUSIVE wonder and
admiration of the natives. But Mary
land, taking up scruples, set her face
against lotteries, and France for time
couuetted with Delaware until Della
ware in like manner turned prudlsh,
and the last we hear of the lottery
king" is that he had died in debtor S
prison,
Then the garden gods fell on their
faces, and thorns sprang up and choked
them, and all was desolation and respect
ability. Again the villa waited not in
vain, for one day the windows were
opened exposing all the CHASTITY gaps
in their panes, and strange man, I'M
tidy and shock headed, pottered about
in the weedy, seedy garden, grim and
churlish recluse. But negro curiosity,
once sharply piqued, is persistent and
penetrating, and forthwith Ethiopia be-
gan to gossip about the strange man,
how that he was a blacksmith from
Connecticut and an oracle in local
political circles, one to whom big Six
was spell to conjuro with. And pres

Joined by a bearded and venerable COM
panion, with head like pear, who
lurked and waited behind the close
gates and the screen of shrubbery Then
furtive yacht at night in st. Michael s
river took the bearded mystery aboard
and was off to the bay and the sea, and
the police who went poking about the
place day or two later, looked foolish
and asked one another inane conun-
drums about the cunning fitting OF
Boss Tweed. -"Old Maryland Homes

PAINTED AND DYED.
Such Are the Arab Girls Before They En-
ter the Harem.

Arab girls before they enter the harem
and take the veil are aycurious sight to
behold. Their bodies and faces are dyed
a bright yellow with turmeric. On this
ground they paint black lines with an
timony over their eyes. The fashlona-
BILE color for the nose is red. Green
spots adorn the cheeks, and the general
aspect is grotesque beyond description.
My wife tells me that the bellies in
the sultan's Aarem are also painted in
this fashion, and that they also paint
gloves on their hands and shoes on their
feet, and thus bedizened hope to secure
the affections of their lords. AT Sh1ef
the men would not allow my wife to ap-
proach or hold any intercourse with the
Arab women. using opprobrious eplthets
when she tried to make friendly over
lures, with the quaint result that when
ever Mrs. Bent advanced toward group
of gazing females they fed precipitate-
". like flock of sheep before collie
dog. These women wear their dresses
high in front, showing their yellow
legs above the knee, and long behind.
They are of deep blue cotton, decorated
with fine embroidery and patches OF
yellow and red sewed on in pattern.
Tt is the universal female dress in
Hadramu5 and looks as if the fashion
had not changed since the days when
Hazarmaveth, the patriarch, settled in
this valley and gave it its name Gene
sis x, 49, The tall, tapering straw hat
worn by these women when in the fields
contributes, with the mask, to make the
Hadrami females as externally repulsive
as the most jealous of husbands could
desire. Nineteenth Century.

two years ago in the west, where he man
aged to run a shoestring into $50, 600
This was the beginning of his sensational
turf operations, for he at once proceeded
tto electrify the ring by his wild wagers

in about as short time as it took him to
gain them.
Last spring he appeared on the block at
Sheepshead Bay, and at that time he was

He quickly became notorious by reason of
what his fellow bookmakers called his
rashness at laying odds. Bot he prosper

Not a TARGET.

In New England courtroom one aft
ernoon an energetic counsel was setting
forth in no measured terms his opinion
of certain testimony which had been
given by one of the witnesses. AS he
talked he gesticulated freely and was
particularly lavish in the use of the
forefnger of his right hand, which as
sumed a decidedly threatening aspect
as he progressed in his speech.
Suddenly a tall, lank countryman,
who was directly in a line with this
warming forefnger, rose from his seat
among the jurymen.

entirely to the witness. -

YERKEs PITCHED GREAT BALL.
He Had No Trouble in DEFEATING
Reading.

He Had No Trouble in Defeating
Reading.
Mr.. Yerkes will do II there was
any doubt about it that doubt was dis
pelled yesterday. His pitching was Of
the phenomenal order. Reading could
not do anything with his delivery, and
it WAS by the merest chance, in fact by
doubtful decision, that they escaped
being shut out. Up to the eighth inniug
they got but one hit from the lauky
youngster, and in the whole game they
succeeded in securing but six II was
in the eighth inning, after he had
struck out two m5n, that he let up on
the boys in blue. They touched him
up pretty lively for a while, but when
he thought they had enough be shut
down on his liberality and retired tho
side.
The fielding Of the Scrantous was also
of the star variety. Every man of the
iufeld, including the battery, covered
himself with glory. Patchen made
wonderful stops of wide twisters from
the Yerkes catapult; Massey made
one.hsnded stop of n hot liner that
evoked ringing applause. Yerkes, Pne-
Ian and Wetzel each made wonderful
stop. Westlake had five assists and
figured in one OF the two double plays
IN the outfield Hogan got in his usual
running catch, this time going from
left center to deep right for long
drive. Not an error was made.
Reading played good game, but 1t
would take the supsrlstive of good to
beat or evsn equal the kind of ball put
MP by Scranton yesterday. Our own
Leidy made his first appearance with
Reading in this city and was given an
ovation. 1t evidently ratified him for

got caught mapping at frat. Goodhart,
who formerly caught for Scranton,
made two of the six hits off Yerkes,
10 the batting all the Scrautonians
showed up we'll with the exception of
Staltz and Yerkes, although the latter
made one lucky drive which brought
in run. No runs were secured until
the fourth inning. Massey made a
single. stole second and came home ou
Torreyson's failure to field Westlaks's
hard hit, Wetzel opened up the fifth
with beautiful three Dagger and
came in on Patchen's double.
Wetzal also started the run getting
in the seventh. He drove a slow one
to third and Henry threw it in
among the carriages back Of first base,
allowing Mr.. Wetzel to score an uu-
earned run. Patchen knocked one to Tor
reyson which the old flood sufferer was
too slow in getting to first. Massey
sent sharp one to center field and as
Leidy misjudged it, Massey wns on
third before it could be fieldsd into the
diamond. PatchSn scored on it and
Massey soon after tailed one on
Pbelan's bit. A hit by Wsstlaks, an
error on Hogan's straight up fly, hit
by Patchen, three bagger by Massey
and pretty single by Phelan, netted
four runs. We alao got one in the
ninth by hits by Rogers and Yerkes.
Readings only run was IN ade In the
eighth inning by Goodhsrt.

story to the initiated:
