New Eueland,s Lonely Cabins.

Ono house, bigger, baror and uglier than the others, was the voluntary pris- on of an old woman, who for five years had not allowed a human being to cross the threshold. Nobody thought her con duct odd or remarkable. saw her once at the gate, and she poured out flood of meaningless babble in delight at the possession of a listener. Her words were inarticulate. just as sour beer runs, choking itself, escaping from an uncork- ed cask.

MET A BAD MAN IN TEXAS.

An Army Officers Experience, Which In-
 Cluded Drink of Poor Whisky.
 "Only on ono occasion in my life have 1 felt tho need of a weapon, said an officer of the United States army. ''I havo mover carried gun, but it has sometimes occurred to me that no man ought ever to Do without one. One cannot be sure but that some time tho weapon would save one's life. For in- itSnce,I will recite to you little expe- rienco of my own. It was in a wild mountain region Of TeSas. was riding along lonely path. mounted on n gov ernmcnt mule. Not Il thing did have on my person which could have been re- garded by tho most impoverished citi- zen us of value Whistling as went, l approached large rock, about which the path ran to avoid Q sharp ascent. Just as I reached it a fierce looking man rose out of tho bushes and cried 'Halt'
 "What could do? Perhaps you will say that I ought to have charged upon him with my government mule, over powered him, taken away his arms and demanded why he should thus obStruot what was the best substitute available for a public highway. l did nothing of the kind. The only reason l can allege is that was afraid. Such n method of dealing with highwaymen does we'll enough in story books, but in real life it is dangerous. Accordingly obeyed the suggestion of tho bold bandit and halt ed. For a moment my heart jumped in- to my throat as saw him thrust a hand into his hip pocket. He drew from it something and pointed it at mo point blank. perceived that the something was not a pistol; it was bottle-a large black bottle. Said the highwayman, 'Drinkp
 "I held out my hand and grasped the bottle with moro than ordinary eager ness. I drank. It was tho worst whisky ever tasted, and that is saying a good deal, for had lived in the wilds of the west for a number of years. But to me 1t was grateful draft. handed the bottle back to the highwayman, and as he went his way with Q benevolent smile upon his countenanco resumed, with a thankful heart, my journey upon my government mule. had meant to offer him that mule, but would hardly have had the nerve perhaps, for he might have regarded tho proffer of such an ob- viously valueless gift as an insult '- Washington Star.

Sense of Taste In Insects.

Tho entomologists have detected and duly noted a singular development of the sense of taste in insects of the but terfly family. The larve of butterflies and moths all eat foods which arc not adapted to the wants and tastes of the perfect insect, and which, in some in- stances, is positively obnoxious to the fully developed creature. Take, for an instance, the horrid "hog nosed cater pillar" which lives on the leaves of the prickly ash and also makes life bur. densome to the orange grower. Its par ents are Mir. and Mrs. Papilio Cres. phontes of the order Lepidoptera, fam fly Papilionide, and are the largest and most beautiful butterflies found in tho latitude of Missouri. The full grown insect of this species will not touch tho leaves of either of tho trees mentioned above. but on them it deposits eggs, and when theso hatch the substance of the leaves furnish the proper food for the larvae Are We to infer from this curi- ous habit that the female butterfly of this species remembers her early exist enoe, and from that argues that prickly ash and orange leaves are the proper food for her young, or are we to say that instinct" guides her to proper selection of food for her progeny? Is it not a fact that we attribute things to instinct" because we are ignorant that is to say, because we do not know where instinct" leaves off and reason becius?-St. Iouis Republic.

FALSE DIALECT,
Our Negro Stories Arc Declared to Be AIl
 Wrong.

Our Negro Stories Are Declared to Be AIl
 Wrong.
 The flood of negro talk that has dis colored our recent literature is not dia- lect. It consists chiefly of tho vulgarism, the mispronunciation and misuse of words that come of lack of education and polite association. Hardly any of it is even provincialism, and still less is the survival of old forms and usageS Nor is it due in any appreciable degree to locality. In fact, it arises from con dition almost wholly and is merely tho lingo of our lowest classes, with small distinction on account of race and color.
 It is kitchen talk, as distinguished from that of the parlOr, and, although it may occasionally offer us a word or phrase having some philological or his torical interest, it does not approach the dignity of dialect. The bad grammar of illiterate ignorance, without rule or art, it even lacks tho consistency in CT TOT with which some of our writers seek to invest it, for it recognizes no prece- dent and follows no analogy.
 And yet the real lingo is not half so bad as it is represented in print, where it is sought to set it before us phonet- ically. It is obvious that the ordinary speech of any of our white communities would look very much like jarSon if subjected to the same phonetic process. In our common conversation very few of us are purists. and a precision is gen orally regarded as affected and preten- tious.-William c. Elam in Lippin- cott's.

FORTUNES IN FRUIT STANDS.

Big Money In Small Business by Eco.
 nOmical Italians.
 Few of tho thoughtless passersby and chance patrons of tho corner fruit stands on the city streets realize the oompara- lively largo profits reaped by those who have their capital invested in this ap- parently insignificant business. To tho average onlooker as he casts careless glance at the vendor of fruit and candy probably tho only thought that occurs is that hero is a poor unfortunate for eigner cast on our shores. who manages by this simple means to eke out liv- ing for himself and large family of small children. Indeed a closer inspec- tion into the comfortless lives of these seekers for gain, involving long hours spent in continued application to work, the short remaining time passed ill squalid homes or on the streets, would reveal little of the true state of affairs.
 There is vast difference in the indi- cations from outward appearances. Some of them carry an air of prosperity in neatness of dress and carelessness of air. Others seem to wish to advertise their poverty by a show of tattered gar ments and generally destitute appear anoe. But in general those appearances are deeeitful. The man in rags may or dinarily be regarded as moro fortunate than his apparently prosperous brother. He is making more because it is not so much what is made in profits as what is saved, and in a small business, like that of the corner fruit dealers, this general principle is especially true.
 The amount of the gains possible to the astute dealers is seen from few ex- amples of unusual prosperity. A short time ago an Italian who had been in the business on a down town corner for ten years closed out his business to a successor, receiving from him $2, 200 for tho privilege of his location. This amount he added to fortune of $6O. - 900 already accumulated. In the stock yards region similar sale was made in consideration of $250. In tho same neighborhood tho death recently of a veteran in the business revealed tho fact that he had been possessed of property amounting to $17,000. Some of our largest business blocks, notably on State and Halsted streets, are now owned by those who started in business in this way.-Chicago Journal.

The Life of a Shoe.

According to an intelligent and ob- servant member of tho trade, the aver age purchaser of footwear counts the life of a shoe by the number of times it requires resoling and heeling. If a shoe is resoled and heeled twice, the wearer thinks it is a better shoe than the one which, though giving longer wear, will hardly bear resoling and heeling more than once The same retailer claims that some manufacturers take advantage of this knowledge and put inferior leath- CT in the soles and heels and thus attain tho apparently impossible feat of in creasing the reputation of their goods by using inferior material It is certain, however. that reputable manufacturers do not adopt this questionable policy - Shoe and Leather Reporter.

Rich Red Blood

In the body of an adult person there are about IS pounds of blood.
 The blood has as it's most important ele- ments, small round corpuscles, red and white, in proportion of about 300 red to white one.
 If the number of red corpuscles becomes diminished and the white ones increased the blood is impure, thin, lacking In the nutrition necessary to sustain the health and nerve strength of the body.
 Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness, 6crofula, Salt Rheum, or others of the long train of ills, according to the temperament and disposition, attack the victim.
 The only permanent remedy is found in . reliable blood medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which acts upon the red cor puscles, enriching them and increasing their number. It thus restores the vital fluid to healthy condition, expels all inn purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising from or promoted by low state of the blood
 That these statements are true we prove not by our own statements, but by wha, thousands of perfectly reliable people say about Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the testi- monial in the next column from beloved clergyman. Then take

THE MOONS CLIMATE.
Why Our Satellite Is Subject to Great E1
 tremes of Heat and Cold.

tremes of Heat and Cold.
 In illustration of the important eli matic effects of an atmosphere, need do little moro than cite the case of the moon, Our satellite is practically at the same distance from the sun as the earth, and in its case also internal heat has no present effect on the temperature of it's superficial portions. It would therefore seem that, so far as sun heat is concern ed, the moon must be in much the same condition as the earth. But if we thence deduced the inference that the tempera- tura conditions prevailing on our satel- lite boar any resemblance to the tenn perature conditions prevailing on the earth we should make a great mistake.
 Observations of the moon $ heat show that its surface is exposed to tremen- dous range of temperature, extending to hundreds of degrees. It has been dem- onstrated that tho temperature of the moon under the full glare of the sun rises to point in excess of that of boil ing water, while it is equally certain that when the sunbeams are withdrawn the temperature of tho moon sinks to point far below that with which any arctic ex- t-4A then, is aglobe fed just as we are, with sunbeams, and yet undergoing tremen- dous vicissitudes of climate, surpassing any changes endured by the earth.
 The climatic difference between these two neighboring globes is certainly con- nected with the fact that the moon has very little atmosphere. even if it be not completely destitute thereof. Our at moSphere acts as climatic regulator. It reduces the degree in which the intense fervor of the sun affects tho earth, and it mitigates the rigor of the cold to which the earth would be exposed when the sunbeams are withdrawn. Such an ameliorating agent is absent from tho moon, and hence arise those violent extremes of its climatic condition.
 We thus sec what potent factors tho existence and the extent of an atmos- phere become in determining the na- ture of the climate that a planet is to have. We do not know enough regard ing the atmospheres of Mars, Venus and Mercury to be able to draw any cer- tain conclusions with regard to their climates. But this we may at least af- firm, that it seems quite possible for the different influences we have named to go a long way toward neutralizing tho contrasts that tho climates of these globes would otherwise present ill con sequence of the different supplies of sun- beams that they receive at their actual solar distances. So far as moro climate is concerned, it seems quite possible that appropriate atmospheres and land distributions might be adjusted on tho earth and Mars, Mercury and Venus in such a manner that certain organic types might be common to all tho four globes.

 In aLittIe Scandinavia"
 h Little Scandinavia,' which in. cludes two CT three of the counties in northern Wisconsin, where tho Swedes, Norwegians and Danes have settled in great numbers. !" says Gus Heege, the impersonator of Yon Yonson and the originator of Swedish dialect comedy on the stage, 'butchering week each fall is one of the busiest and merriest times of the whole year. The entire family-mother, father and children have hand in the work, and they are frequently assisted by the nearest neigh. bors, who sometimes come three or foul miles across the hills
 "Butchering with the Scandinavians means tho saving and utilization of ev. cry part of the beef or hog of the smallest value. Even the blood is preserved. and 1t appears later in the winter, when the thermometer is down below zero and supplies arc short. in the form of blood pudding or blood cake, both of winch are very nourishing as we'll as toothsome dishes. The preparation of these con- pounds is entirely the work of the wom- en and the smaller children. As soon as the men are ready to begin the work of killing, mother comes out with her hands full of pans and pails, and the boys and girls follow with little wisps of brooms or twigs bound up in neat bundles. The blood of the animal is caught in the pans, and the children arc soon at work stirring it with the twigs in order to keep the fibrin from collect ing in olots. Many a little arm grows weary before the mother says the blood has been sufficiently stirred, and tho pans are borne into the house.
 ''Here a quantity of ryemeal is add cd, and tho stirring is resumed until the mass is thoroughly mixed and of tho consistency of dough. Salt, pepper and sage ara sprinkled over the combination, and it is set aside to freeze. In cooking 1t the cake is sliced up and fried on a hot griddle with ham or pork. In taste it resembles sausage, but the flavor is much finer. Sometimes pieces of scrap meat arc mixed in with the blood, and the combination is then called blood sausage. When enough meal has been added, the pudding can be dried until it becomes as hard as stone, and in that form it will keep in good condition for an almost unlimited time.
 "Blood cake and blood sausage may be bought at almost any Swedish meat market, and its consumption has in creased to such an extent that somo of the packing houses make it as staple article. Nov York Times.

BISMARCK CONSENTED.
He Was the Final Arbiter of an English Love Match.

Apropos of tho marriage of the third son of the Duko of Argyll it is related that whom his affections became attach ed to an untitled woman he felt bound to ask the old gentleman s consent The duke answered that personally he had no objection to the match, but in view of the fact that his eldest son had es- poused a daughter of the queen he thought it right to inquire her majesty's pleasure on the subject before express ing his formal approval
 Her majesty, thus appealed to, ob- served that since the death of the prince consort she had been in the habit of con- sulting the Duke of Saxe- Coburg on all family affairs
 The matter was therefore referred to Duke Ernest, who replied that since the unification of Germany he had made it rule to ask the emperor's opinion on all important questions. The caso now came before tho kaiser, who decided that, as constitutional sovereign, he was bound to ascertain the views of his prime minister.
 Happily for the now anxious pair of lovers, the Iron Chancellor" who was then in office, had no wish to con- suit anybody and decided that the mar riage might take place. Kate Fields Washington.

Hideou. Apimal. In peath y.I,.v

Many, many years ago Montesquieu, the greatFrenchphilosophe emphasized the influence of climate upon human nature. The effect of nature itself upon animal life has been most strikingly re- vealed by Special Agent II. B. Martin of the United States land office, who has just returned from perilous trip through the Death valley" in Nevada. His report pictures this weird, untinish- ed spot of creation as region of hor- TOTS. Even the fauna are uncanny and in almost diabolical accord with the in- ferno nature of this vast realm of sand and salt
 That hideous and loathsomo reptile, tho Gila monster, fiuurishes in this fit retreat. Lizards, rattlesnakes, huge scorpions and tarantulas and toads, all abnormally venomous, writhe and hop across the heated wa'&e, but they are nothing in comparison to kangaroolike rats and mice that feed on scorpions. One of these curious mice is known as the grasshopper mouse, from his curious leaping, and his chief delicacy is a wriggling centiped.

Critical I.nrin Failed.

The late Sherlock Holmes had a fa- vorite dictum: Eliminate tho impos- siblo, and what is left, however inn probable, must be the truth" This was not at all in accordance with the saying of Victor Hugo: Nothing is so immi- nent as the impossible. What must be always foreseen is the unforeseen. |" Most of us will agree, from experience, with Hugo rather than with Holmes The impossible does happen. When 'Mercy Philbrick's Choice" was pub lished in tho "No Name" series, the critics were agreed that it seemed to be written by Helen Hunt Jackson. But, as those who knew her love for flowers and acquaintance with nature also pointed out, she could not be the au- thor, for there were several glaring mis- takes in tho naming and placing of blossoms in the story. Yet, as was aft erward disclosed, she did write it. So all the theorizing went for nothing Philadelphia Press
