The highwayman had called the good
gentleman from his steed and at the
point Of his arquebus was compelling
him to render unto seizer the things
that were not seizer's. The good gen.
tleman protested, for he was rich in
plumber, and was lOath to give up to
the robber. But the robber was greatly
pleased with the situation and calmly
proceeded to ill his pockets from the
pockets Of his victim.
"My friend" pleaded the good gentle
man, ut is not meet that you should
thus take my money, my watch, and my
jewels"
81 should say it wasn't" replied the
robber, his eyes sparkling with greed
and glee. Il should say it wasn't meat;
It's pie"
Having secured all the good gentle.

parisoned steed to his other accumula.

A Gentle

When Senator Waltlall, Of Missis.
sippi. who reappears' in the F~Ifty-fourth
Congress after an absence of two years,
was in one of the back counties Of Mis-.
sissippi during the campaign Of '92 he
met an ancient denizen of the back dis
tricts who was all powerful in politics
In that section. The old man welcomed
there was a strange twinkle in his eye,
as if he were thinking of something,
and thinking very hard. After a little
he said:
Senator, before the war there used
to be a young man down here who was
one of the best takers and one Of the
most brilliant young men the State of
Mississippi ever possessed. He became
attorney Of the State, and there seemed
to be great promise before him. Every
body In the State thought great things
We're going to be done by young Walt
hall, and that he would make a national
reputation. l think he ran for Con
gress or something Of that sort, and
then all Of a sudden he dropped out of
sight and nobody in this section Of the
State has ever heard anything of him
since. Was that young fellow a rela.
tive of yours?"

this was the latter's method Of rebuking
the Senator for inactivity at Washing.

X Wild Men.

There are many curious trades In the
world, but the most strange must sure
ly be the artificial manufacture Of wild
men," Yet a well-knOwn English doc
tor in China has Just certified from his
own personal experience that this art
is regularly practiced in the Flowery
Kingdom.
First, a youth is kidnapped, then bit
by bit he is flayed alive. and the skin Of
q dog or bear grated piece by piece
upon him. His vocal chords are ext
destroyed by the action Of charcoal to
make him dumb; and the double pur-
pose of causing ~'etiolation" of the skin
and utter degradation Of the mental
facilities is affected by keeping him
immured IN a perfectly dark hole for a
number Of years.
In fact, by treating him like a brute
for q sufficiently long time he is made
into n
At last he is exhibited to the entirely
credulous Chinese as a wild man Of the
woods, and his -pOssessors reap q rich
harvest.
The priests, it seem. are adopts at the
art. When a %kidnaper, however, Is
caught by the people he is torn to
pieces, and when the authorities get
him they torture him and promptly be-
head him. Such is life under the rule
of the Son Of Heaven.

TREATMENT OF SUNSTROkE.
New Electrical Device by Which Pa.
tients Are Easily Handled,

Now that the sunstroke season is
drawing near, the House of Relief is
getting its sunStroke ward ready for
action. This ward is as complete in
polnt apparatusand appliances as any
similar Institution in the world, and
from the time the patient enters the
room he is handled by means Of cleo
trlcal machinery more gently than
would be possible even with the trained
hands of the doctors and nurses. OF
late treatment in sunstroke cases has
altered materially. The old treatment
included warm drinks and hot applica-
lions to the body, with Il view to draw
ing the heat from the head, as well az
ICED applications to the head. Now the
patient is immersed In very cold water
II Kept so until the abnormal tenn,
perature decreases. Some remarkable,
cures have been effected by this method
or treatment. The new apparatus is de-
signed for the transfer of the patient
to the bath. 1t is worked entirely by
electricity. A sort Of hammock sus-
pended. not from the ends, but from the
sides, between iron bars, is the recep-
tacle for the sufferer. The end of this
hammock at which the head lies il
higher than the other end. The bars
are suspended by chains from wheel
trucks overhead, running on tracks,
n both the motion backward and for
ward Of the trucks and the raising or
depressing of the hammock by means
OF the chain are controlled by the cleo
tric apparatus. On the entrance Of the
patient the hammock Is lowered and he
Is gently slid from the stretcher into it.
"A turn OF the motor wheel lifts him,
and another turn sends him moving
along until he is directly over a tub
containing water iced to the desired
temperature. Then the machinery low
ers him slowly into the tub until only
his race remains above the water. Ice
Is packed around his head, and he Is left
there until his temperature Is lowered
to 4 point where it is deemed safe to
take him out. Then the machinery
gently lifts him again and transfers
him to a pallet at the side of the room.
IF second Ice bath is not necessary the
patient Is then removed to one Of the
adjoining wards. This method Of hand
ling Is not only attended with less
Earring to the patient than any other,
but 1t also saves the doctors and nurses
much exhaustive work, particularly in
the case OF heavy patients. The ap-
paratus was designed by DR.. Lewis A.
StimSOn, attending q to the
House Of Relief.-New York sun.

Old Samoan Ways.

The Samoans are physically a splen-
dldly made race Of a deep bronze color;
their hair is naturally black. hut is
converted by frequent dressings Of lime,
which have a bleaching effect. to a dull
reddish tint; this custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially well de-
velOped from their habit Of padding
long distances in their canoes from
island to island; in fact. at so great dis
tances from the mainland were these
natives seen by early travellers, that
this group was christened the Nav!Sa-
tor Islands. At this time, too, travellers
reported that the Samoans wore fine
black skeins reaching from the waist
to a short distance above the knee.
This report, though without foundation
in fact, was due to the custom possessed
by these people of tattoOing themselves
after thai fashion, covering about the
same part of the body as would Il pair
of our bathing drawers.
All the men are thus tattOOed on ar
irving at maturity, and are not allowed
to take unto themselves wives before
the painful process is complete. Regu-
lar professional tattoOers are found
among the people, and the tattOoing
often occupies some months, as the
patient only undergoes as much as he
can bear at each operation. The de-
signs tattoocd are very ancient. and the
present generations are entirely igno-
rant of their Specification. This latter
fact applies also to the words of their
rowing songs, which they sing in per-
feet harmony and in time to their oars
or paddles; the words sung are now
obsolete. and, like the tattooed designs.
are not understood by the people.-The
Westminster Review.

A Western paper has been taking a
vote among its women readers to find
out what trait in a man Is most or
least fascinating to the other sex. AS
might be supposed, opinions differ. One
young lady declares that the u%npardon-
able sin in a nan is ''insensibility to
feminine CHARM" which wounds wOm-
ems self-love. Another, who i married,
says that the greatest of all faults in a
man is ''~selfishIesS." A third cOnsid-
ers ~"insincerity" the most distaste-
full feature in a mans character. A
fourth assigns to ''cOnceit" the first
place among Objectionable traits, be-
cause it implies want Of tenderness,
Difference and devotion. But the ma
jority agree that the most attractive
feature in man, admirable even when
carried to excess, Is courage.
