A Remarkable ReGorA.


One of the most remarkable old men
in Delaware county is Edwin Urian.
residing in Darby township He is in
his eighty-third year, and says he new
er smoked pipe or cigar, never chewed
tobacco, never owned dog, watch or
gun, except an old gun he bought at
sale for three dollars, and he thinks
somebody stole that, for he never shot
load from it. He never ate but three
oysters, never drank glass of beer,
never was ut a circus or theater, and
was never more than thirty miles from
home but once in his life. He never
belonged to any association or secret
order. He went to work when boy
for three fippenny bits day and has
never been idle day since for want
of work. He thinks that honest labor
and temperance never hurt anybody.
lie has an idea that he has squared
more timber for building purposes
than any other man now living in OAR
by township, or, perhaps. the county.
He is still hale, hearty and active as
most men of sixty, and his wife. who
is few years his junior, is also living
and in excellent health.
Reindeer In Alaska.
General Agent Sheldon jackson has
made a special report to the president
concerning the Introduction Of Sibe-
rian reindeer into Alaska by the gov
eminent. The plan is pronounced
thoroughly successful, though slow
progress has been made owing to lack
of sufficient appropriations During
last summer LET reindeer were pur-
chased in Siberia, 124 of which were
safely landed ut the station. This
made a total Of $40 in September.
Herds of 100 reindeer each have been
given to four mission stations; and dis
tribution to various other stations will
follow as the herd increases. The
statements that the superstition of the
Siberian natives would prevent the
purchase of live reindeer, that deer
could not survive transportation, that
it is impossible for them to thrive In
Alaska, and that the Alaskan dogs
would scatter and destroy them, has
been disproved by experience.

FIDELITY OF A CRO

SHAVING WITH GLASS.
The Method Employed by the Natives of
the Island OF Jamaica.

The natives of Jamaica have no need
20 buy soap. for the woods abound in
plants whose leaves and bulbs supply
very well the place of that indispensable
article. Among the best of these is the
soap tree, so called, though it is more a
bush than a tree. Its bulb, when rubbed
on wet clothes, makes n beautiful lather,
which smells much like common brown
soap.
The Jamaica negroes. some of whom
are great dandies in their way, make a
soap out of cocoanut oil and homemade
lye. and a fine soap 1t is. smooth and
fragrant. The coacoanut oil soap is
used for shaving.
When a man wishes TO shave in the
morning he starts out with his cocoanut.
shell cup aud his d~onkey-tail brush and
a bottle. 1t Is never any trouble to
find an empty bottle in Jamaica. even
in the mountains. At least twenty gen.
erations Of thirsty people have lived
there aud thrown away the empty bot.

The man carries no mirror. because he
has none to carry. Not n negro cabin
in a dozen has even q cheap looking.
glass. But nature provides the mirror
as well as the soap. The man goes to o
convenient pool in the mountain stream
where the water is still. and there is his
mirror.
He breaks his bottle on a stone and
picks out a good, sharp piece. Then he
fathers his face ~profusely and begins ts
scrape away with his piece Of glass
which works almost as well as . sharp
razor.
The men rarely cut themselves In the
operation. AT first" says the writer
Il trembled for them, but afterward
tried the method for myself and sooI
became almost an expert at it."

TRUE TEST OF ABILITY,
The sheik who Wrote q Poem and Made
an Unexpected Discovery.

The mighty Sheik Abdullah spake
one day to the court sage, old Enekazi,
as follows, says the Fliegende Blaeter,
you are always ready to give sensible
advice, oh, Enekazi; perhaps you could
tell me which of my councillors are
really sincere"
"A very simple matter" replied the
sage, confidently. Il will tell you a,
once, mighty sheik, how that Is to be
managed. Go and compose q long
ballad this very day."
Stop" interrupted the sheik. you
forget that an no poet"
That's just il, mighty shsik. Go and
write at once q long ballad and read TO
your assembled councillors"
But, EnekaZi, bear in mind that
never wrote a line of poetry IN my life.
so much the betteri When you have
read the long ballad to your courtiers.
you will judge of the effect yourself.
Tomorrow | will come again ard learn
of your observations
Next day the wise Enekazi entered
the sheik's tent, saying:
Did you follow my advice, mighty
sheik?"
Certainly"
And what happened after you had
read your ballad?" inquired the old
man, smiling.
"Oh, | was completely taken by sur
prise. One exclaimed that this was the
long-sought-for ballad of the great poet
lbu Yemin; another that | was a new
bright luminary in the armament OF
poetry; a third craved permission to cut
OIL a small piece of my robe in memory
OF the eyentful occasion and the imm :
tai bard-in a word, they were all IN
ecstasies, and praised my ideas and my
language up to the skies"
And what about old Herr Adin?'
eagerly questioned the sag
"Ah, he dropped 10 sleep while 1 was
reading"
-Ha, ha! What did you conclud,
from that, mighty sheik?' said the old
man triumphantly.
"What conclusion could l come top
replied the sheik, with some surprise,
"if not the same as all the rest-name.

his chibouk and-held his peace; for he

NO MORE SOAP.
How q Monkey Stole the Last Cake from
an Exploring Party.

When Count Teleki and Lieut.. von
Hohnel were on their long and danger.
Gus expedition into eastern Africa they
had with them o pet monkey, Hanis,
who afforded them endless amusement.
and also. as Is the way with all such
pets, proved a frequent trial to their pa
thence. One of his most annoying ex-
ploits is thus narrated by Lieut.. Won
Hohnel.
An eagle, attracted by the ape, who
was playing in a tree under which the
counts tent was pitched. swooped down
and settled upon s. branch without a
sign of shyness. Hamis, little guessing
the danger be was in, was for plucking
Q feather or two out of the visitor's
wing, treating him as he was Ia the
habit OF treating the fowls we some
times had in camp.
Count Teleki seized q gun, however.
and a shot brought down the would-be
thief.
As usual. Hamis repaid us BY ingrat
itude, The eagle vas no sooner dead
and deprived OF bis beautiful long wing
feathers than the ape was down from
his perch, intent upon mischief.
He had a good look at his dead
enemy, as he did at everything new or
strange, and then hoped into his mas
ter's tent and seized what was perhaps
for the moment that masters greatest
treasure. his last bit Of soap.
The count saw him and shouted,
leave that alone, but too late. Hamis
was at the top Of the tree again. with
the precious soap in his teeth. We CALI
ed him by all the endearing names we
could think of. hoping t. entice him
away from the branch he had chosen,
which overhdng the brook, but all in
vain.
Not faneying the taste Of the soap, he
dropped It into the water, aud it was
hopelessiy lost. The brown food bore
Il away, although half a dozen negroes
dived for Il for o long time.

A CABLE ROAD DILEMMA.
What should a Maa Do When He IL Con-
cerned In an Accident Like This?

A well-drcssed oma about fifty
years of age, sat in the corner of a cal
hear the door. Next to her was q mid.
dle-aged man who was absorbed in a
newspaper, until he suddenly realized
that the car was passing Fourteenth
street. Then he sprang up and ran to-
ward the door. Reaching it he rested
hand for a moment on the frame
work while he made an inquiry Of the
conductor.
As he stood there his elbow pointed
straight at the face of the woman in
the corner. The man must have been
unfamiliar with the ~serpentine course of
the road at this point, for he failed to
hold on to the door tight. The next
moment the car turned the curve at full
speed. The jerk threw the man to-
ward the woman in the corner, and the
point of his elbow caught her just be-
tween the eyes. The woman let ont a
shrek which made the passengers at
the other end of the car Jump out of
their seats. Then her head fell back.
and it needed but a glance to see that
she was unconscious. The man didn't
know what to do. He was mumbling
apologies in an excited way, when Il
suddenly occurred TO him that he'd bet
ter get out Of the way. and he jumped
from the car and ran toward Fifteenth
street.
In the meantime every one in the car
had crowded around the unconscious
woman. Her hands were slapped by
some, while others rubbed her forehead
and famed her. There was an ugly
looking lump on her forehead where
the mans elbow had struck her, but she
was all right otherwise. In three or
four minutes she came around all right,
and the conductor breathed a sigh of
relief, and rang the bell for the grip
man to go on. Many hard things were
said about the ma whose elbow had
done so much damage. and one woman
expressed it as her opinion that He
was a big, brutal coward to run away
like that" A more sensible man on
the rear platform remarked. however:
at seems to me that he did the best
thing for himself. III he'd stayed he'd
have got an awful roasting, and what
good would apologies do him2 l think
he was real foxy. myself"
The conductor and the other male
passengers on the rear platform said
they thought so. too.-N. Y. Recorder.

Canoes.

I'm the Sitka district, Alaska, the ca
noes are each cut from a single log OF
wood. The log Is first dressed and hol-
lowed out and then steamed and spread
open. Many Of the canoes are models
Of form. Great care is expended on
them. and If the maker were paid good
wages their price would be fabulous. A
good new canoe able to carry three
men and 100 pounds of baggage is
worth $50. An older canoe of the same
size may be procured for $40. Some
cost $500 and up to 500. The Indians
have abandoned to a great extent the
old method Of padding the canoe. and
they are furnished with oars and sails.
This Ia made possible by having a rigid
body, unlike the bark or skin canoes OF
other places.
