ambassador Bayard, what ever his dip
lomatio prestige, is not known as joker,
so the victim in this case blames Buttons,
although some Of the others who were
present are suspicious that our representa-
tive at the court Of St. James saw his op-
portunity and helped it along. 1t was
when Mr. Bayard made his brief visit
home last winter. A dozen newspaper men
went down to quarantine to meet him.
They boarded the steamship and discov-
cred the ambassador leaning against tho
rail, surrounded by group Of men and
women The newspaper men decided not
to Brighten him by a combined onslaught
and appointed one Of their number TO do
the interviewing. The delegate, it hap
pened, bears the time honored name Of
Smith. Calling one Of the junior assist
ant stewards, Mr.. Smith handed him his
card, with the request to take it to Mr..
Bayard, at tho same time dropping a dime
and nickel as a tip into the boys out
stretched hand.
The lad hurried away while the report
ers awaited the issue with complacency.
In a few minutes he returned and extend
cd the card and the money with these
words, ''Mr Bayard sends his compli-
ments to Mr.. Smith and desires to state
that while he has the honor Of the ac-
quaintance Of many Mr.. Smiths he does
not remember any Mr.. Smith who owes
him Is cents"
.sW-whatr' demanded the newsgath-
erers in body "What in the name OF
Horace Greeley have you doneF
"Why. gave Mr.. Bayard the card and
the 10 cents as you told me to do and told
him that you sent thom. That's all,

Fashions in macaroni change quite as
much as they do in bonnets. One manu-
featuring establishment in Chicago has
200 different varieties on its list and the
manager is continually racking his brain
for new designs with which to WOO the
tickle public away from his competitors.
The names of these products are made up
of double Ifs, " double "ll's" and double
otis, " arranged with apparent artlessness
and brought to close with an 81. Any
one innocent of the language would nat
urally suppose from an inspection Of a
nacaroni list that 1t was q catalogue OF
the Italian nobility. There is Da Natalie
Iisci-a splendid name, 1t will be admit
ted-and it is sad to think that it only
dignifles a macaroni tube that Is huted
around the outside like the quicker Of a
whistling boy.
Mustacciuon Grossi has no reference
whatever to the celebrated Neapolitan
brigand. 1t only designates clear, white
macaroni, which is cut up into little
chunks about the size of policeman S
whistle. Every one knows what spaghetti
is-hour paste excelsior-hut probably
only q few are aware that there Is also
spaghetti grossi, spaghetti seJondi and
spaghettini. Then there is vermicelli,
which bears when cooked a striking re-
semblance to the contents Of bait can,
and plain, homely noodles, an italian
product with German name. Some of the
other varieties are da panieri, soprafflni,
hdelini, trenette crosse, trenettini, regi-
nette, lasagnette regininni piccoli-a roy
al name, too--ravottino fini, stellittt and
foratti piecali.-C Chicago Record.

But the most curious duties Of the ex-
chequer were those from which it derived
its name-i. G., the control and audit Of
the kings revenues on an oblong table
covered with a "checl1y" cloth. Mr.. Hall
says that on the opening days of tho work
ing terms tho business Of the exchequer
was in full swing. The table was set out
like a ohessboard. The treasurer, chan
cellOr and other officials were grouped
round, and a regular mimic warfare en-
sued between the first named and his ad-
versary, the sheriff Of the county, receiving
officer of the crown lands or other official,
as the case might be, who had to render
the account. Piles Of silver, gold, metal
counters, tally sticks and scrolls were pro
duced, arranged in order on the board, ad-
vanced and swept of, just like pieces on
real chessboard, and the checking pro-
ceeded till the whole business was con-
Guided, and six months truce ensued-
The rotation Of the figures was a COM
plicated affair, for they were represented,
not by Roman or Arabic numerals, Du1
by dots like those on dice-in fact, IL
closely resembled the Brailie alphabet Ior
the blind.
Much Of this strange mode Of keeping
accounts must have survived to our own
tir,e Knight says: 1.-THE old forms Of
transacting business wcro long retained
with desperate fidelity in the oSchcquer.
The obsolete makeshifts Of tallies and
other antcdiluvian methods Of keeping &C
counts wore continued after the very milk
women had got ashamed Of them. Until
1881, II not later, Roman numerals and
Latin terms were in use, insomuch that
English bookkeeping was turned into 3

Hunger Is the Best sauce.

The edible qualities of horselesh were
being discussed by q company gathered in
= down town Office in Portland says The
Oregonian. After IA number had expressed
their opinion gentleman said that he had
never eaten horse meat or mule meat, but
he knew that mule meat was good. When
asked how he knew, he said his mother
told him so. His parents came to this
coast by way of the isthmus in 1S49 aad
were 10 days coming up from Panama to
San Francisco ON a sailing vessel. OF
course provisions became scarce, and final
ly the passengers were reduced to cup Of
rice each one day and a cup Of beans each
the next, and some Of them grew hungry.
When the vessel reached Monterey, mule
was purchased and killed for the passon-
gors and his mother ate some Of it-as
much as she could get-and she maintains
10 this day that it was the best meat she
ever ate In her life. All that hOrseilesh
needs ~ make it liked is hunger sauce,
Horsefesh is not often found on tables In
this country. but in European countries it
Is extensively used especially by the poor

Syria, a duchy having population Of
about million and a half and lying
south Of Gartz, in the mountainous por-
ton of the great German confederation, is
noted for its arsenic eaters. According
to DR.. Norman Kerr, In his "Inebriety and
Narcomania, arsenic eaters abound in
every city, village and neighb0rhood, and
In thousands Of cases every adult In fam
lily uses it almost the same as sugar. He'll
land tells of a Syrian peasant who con-
tracted the poison eating habit by taking
/ y grains of arsenic ON the first day, on
the second and ga ON the third. This
man increased the doses so that by tho end
of the first year he was regularly eating
- grains of the drug three times n day
without visible harm.
Maclagan mentions the case Of n man
who daily consumed 2215 grains ~
grains before each meall Of the poisonous
drug, In his estimation this was some
thing truly extraordinary. Hollands
case Is Of course much more wonderful,
but DR.. Kerr reckons both as freaks and
gives it as his opinion that the regular
poison takers Styria do not average
more than 81 during each "a
hours. The remarkable part of this Ger
man oddity is the fact that nearly every
body in the entire province is addicted to
the habit 3 Like the clay eaters of our
southern states, they are known by their
sallow waxy looking faces.-St. Louis

Douglas Jerrold's soul seemed to abhor
every trace of study slovenliness. A coy
room was his in his home at West Lodge,
Lower Putney Common, and his sons
pen has given the world a welcome peep
at the interior: "Tho furniture is simple
solid oak. The desk has not a speck upon
it. The marble shell upon which the ink
stand rests -ilass Iitter In It. VGriOus
notes lie in row between clips ON the TIA
BILE. The paper basket stands near the
armchair, prepared for answered letters
and rejected contributions, The little dog
follows his master into his study and lies
at his feet" And there were no books
maltreated in Douglas Jorrold's study
1t gave him pain to see them in any way
misused. Longfellow had the Same sym
pathies with noatness and exactitude.
Method in all things was his rule. He
did not care to evolve fine thoughts and
poetic images at a desk fixed like the one
stable rock in an ocean or middle.
But other distinguished writer's have
been as careless as these were careful. Car
lyle gives US Il curious sketch of Leigh
Hunts menage In one rOom-the family
apartment dusty table and ragged
carpet. On the floor books, paper, egg
sholls, scissors, and last night when 1 was

Grape Fruit as Medicine.

Grape fruit, Citrus pomelanus, is Just
now exciting some attention among physi-
clans US a cure for dyspepsia. This fruit is
a native Of China and Japan. 10 was in
PRODUCED into the West Indies by Captain
Shaddock, and thence into Florida. 1t is
now to BIO procured of fruit dealers all over
the country.
The Dietetio and Hygienio Gazette re-
cords four cases where a grape fruit diet
relieved acute rheumatic govt in u man,
dyspepsia in a woman and muscular rheu-
matism in two cases. One Of tho rheu-
matte men went to Florida TO get the fruit
in its perfection and returned cured of all
symptoms.
Chemists say that grape fruit contains
the most perfect malic acid, and malic
acid always conquers uric acid. Grape
fruit should be eaten by sucking the pulp.
Then the bitter element comes out with
the acid and frait sugar, and rheumatism
will leave for parts unknown.

By the steamer Wodonga, which arrived
recently from the north, have come eight
cages of tree climbing kangarOos. The
animals were captured, after considerable
difficulty, on the Bloomfield river and were
shipped at Cooktown for delivery to the
geological gardens, Melbourne To give
an illustration of their climbing propensi-
ties 1t may be stated that while on board
one Of the smaller specimens escaped from
confinement and Immediately jumped into
the rigging, up which it went with amaz-
ing speed and seemed perfectly in its ele-
ment when in the vicinity Of the mast
head. This clearly demonstrates that the
climbing power Of these animals which
was formerly looked upon as mythical, Is
founded on fact.-MelbOurne Leader.

Universal Suffrage.

1 was in New Zealand last year just after
the opportunity Of suffrage had been con-
ferrod upon women. The plan worked
well. There had never been such good or
der at the polls, and righteousness tri-
umphed Men have not made such won
derful moral success Of the ballot box that
they need fear women will corrupt It, In
all our cities man has so nearly made the
ballot box failure, suppose we let wom-
an try. But there are some women, l
know, Of most undesirable nature, who
wander up and down the CONTEMPLATING
no homes Of their own or forsaking their
own DEMONSTRATING about their rights,
and we know very well that they themselves
are fit neither to vote nor to keep house.
Their mission seems merely to humiliate
the two sexes at the thought Of what any
ono of us might become. No one would
want to live under the laws that such
women would enact or to have cast upon
society the children that such women
would raise But l shall show you that
the best rights that woman can own she
already has in her possession; that her
position in this country at this time Is not
one Of commiseratiOn, but one Of congrat-
ulation; that the grandeur and power Of
her realm have never yet been appreciated;
that she sits today on throne so high
that all the thrones Of earth piled on top
Of each other would not make for her
footstool. Here is the platform on which
she stands. Away down below it are the
ballot box, and the congressional asseln-
blage, and the legislative hall Woman
always has voted and always will vote,
Our eat-grandfathars thought they were
by their votes putting Washington into
the presidential chair. No His mother,
by the principles she taught him and by
the habits she inculcated, made him presi-
dent. 1t was a Christian mothers hand
dropping the ballot when Lord Bacon
wrote, and Newton philosophical, and Al
fred the Great governed, and Jonathan
Edwards thundcred Of Judgment to come.
How many men there have been in high
political station who would have been in
sufficient to stand the test to which their
moral principle was put had it not been
for a wife's voice that encouraged them to
do right and wife's prayer that sounded
louder than tho elamor of craftsmanship
The right of suffrage, as VIC men exercise
it. seems to be a feeble thing. You,
Christian man, come up to the ballot box,
and YOU drop your vote Right after you
comes a libertine or sOt-the OffscOuring
of the strickland he drops his vote, and
his vote counteracts yours. But il in the
quiet of home life a daughter by her Chris
tian demeanor, a wife by her industry,
mother by her faithfulness, casts a vote in
lhe right direction then nothing can resist
It. and the Influence Of that vote will thrOb
through the eternities
