A New swIndIe.

This il the way another swindling
scheme is being worked in some parts
of the state. Swindler No. calls upon
farmer with patent wagon tongue
and informs him that he is on his way
home, having made good thing out
of it, and has only his county to sell.
He tells the farmer he can have it for
$3.50, and il ha wants it write to him.
In few days swindler No. 2 comes
along. He has heard tina. the farmer
has the right of the county for the
patent wagon tongue, and as he has made
a big thing out of 1t in Pennsylvania;
wants to buy the right of the county,
and offers the farmer 800 and pays
him $40 to bind the bargain. The
farmer writes to No. and sends him
his note for $3.50. He never hears OF
either of the men again, but his notes
come up for collection in a neighbor-
ing town and he is out s2IO.

Chone is the name given by the Kan
akas to tree which fiourishes in New
Caledonia. 1t reaches height of 40
feet, and puts forth beautiful white
flowers. having perfume like that of
jasmine. The chone is the Cerbera
Irnanghas of the botanist. and belongs
to the family of the Apocynacem. II

rubber tree. which. when evaporated.
leaves black gum, that softens in boil
ing water like gutta-percha. It is i'm
permeable, Ike gutta-percha, but has
the advantage of dissolving in petrol
cum. The solution painted or fioated
on wood and evaporated leaves a thin
layer OF the gum, impervious to water.
Leather impregnated with the gum can
remain in water for hours without be-
coming moist. Moreover, according TO
DIR. Prat- Flottes, o French naval sur
geon, it makes an excellent waterproof
yarnish for boots when it is dissolved

Tie ordinary tourist first sees the
Vatican from the square as he ap-
proaches from the bridge OF SAINT An.
gelo. But his attention is from the
nrst drawn to the front of the church,
and he but vaguely realizes thar lofty,
unsymmetrical building rises on his
right. He pauses, perhaps, and looks
in that direction as he ascends the long,
low steps of the basilica, and wonders
in what part of the palace the pope's
apartments may be, while the itinerant
vender of photographs shakes yards of
poor little views out of ther gaudy red
bindings, very much as Leporello un-
rolls the list of DON Giovanni's con-
quests. III the picture peddler sees that
the stranger glances up at the vatican.
he forthwith points out the corner win
dows OF the second story, and informs
his victim that "Sua Santita' inhabits
those rooms, and promptly offers pho
tographs of any other part of the yati-
can but that. The tourist looks up Gu
riously. and finally gets rid of the yen-
der by buying something that he does
not want. with the charitable intention
OF giving it 70 some dear, but tiresome.
relative at home. And ever afterward.
perhaps, he associates with his first inn
preston OF the Vatican the eager, cum
ming, scapegrace features of the man
who sold him the photographs. +.

What to SAY About the Baby.

One is always expected to say some
thing when looking for the first time
on the new baby, and, as it is neither
kind nor safe to tell the truth and say
that the little, red, podgy creature
doesn't look like anything, an English
magazine gives a list of unpatented
and uncopyrighted remarks to be used
on such OCCASIONS:
Isn't he sweet? He looks like you. -
Il think he is going to look like
his father.n
Hasn't he dear little fingers? Do
let me see his dear little toeses.n
isn't be large?"
isn't he tiny darling?n
How bright he seems
did you ever see such sweet little
mouth?a
''Isnt he just too sweet for any
thing?n
''Ths dear little darling. 1 never
saw SO young baby look so inteIli-
gent"
do, please, Let me hold him Just q
minute
Any and all of these remarks are
warranted to give satisfaction, Just as
they have been giving satisfaction from
time immemOrial until the present day.

Why for ages have people eaten an
pie sauce with their roast goose and
sucking pig? Simply because the acids
and peptones in the fruit assist in di.
costing the fats 30 abundant in this
kind OF food. For the same reason at
the end OF a heavy dinner we eat our
cooked fruits. and when we want their
digestive action even more deyeloped
we take them after dinner in their nat
nrai uncooked state as dessert. In the
past ages instinct has taught men to do
this; to-day science tells them whv
they did it, and this same science tells
us hat fruit should be eaten as an aid
TO digestion of other foods much more
than it is now. Cultivated fruits. sucb
as apples, pears. cherries, strawberries.
grapes, etc., contain on analysis very
similar proportions of the same inere-
dients, which are about l per cent. of
malic and other acids, and per cent.
OF nesh-forming albuminoids, with over
~ per cent. OF water. Digestion de-
ponds upon the action of pepsin in the
stomach. Fats are digested by these
acids and the bile from the liver. Now.
The acids and peptones in fruit pecu-
Marty assist the acids OF the stomach.

HIS EXCELLENT PARTS.

recent governor of Georgia was known
to be a great church man, and sincerely
and unalterably opposed to gambling and
drinking. These charges had been pre-
ferred against an applicant for vacant
judgeshp.
A convivial friend of the candidate came
to Atlanta to see the governor in behalf of
his friend. He was better known for his
good heart than for his good Judgment.
His judgment and his breath were both
mellow when he went to the governor.
''Gov, old boy" he said, Charges been
made Jim plays poker. He plays less
poker'n any man in the county. Now, lem
me tell you, old man, I've played with i'm
and he's the poorest poker player ever saw
in m life, and you can't git the fool over a
81 limit. And as for whisky, Gov. lemme
tell you about that. Known him all my life
and I'll take paralyzed oath never saw
him stagger morn twelve times in my
life. Old sport, you jess appoint Jim. He's
all right. He's hot stuff, governor. But
he's the poorest poker player ever saw. =

PART Nv.
ON THE LAUGHLIN ISLANDS.
At daylight, one day in the month Of
August, 1886, cry Of "Sail ho!" was called
from village to village along the sandy
beaches of the Laughlin Islands. and the
brown men and women and children
swarmed out Of their matched huts to
look for the ship. The islands are but low,
perhaps not ten feet above sea-level in the
highest part-and so, although the ship
had been but ten miles distant the pre-
vious evening. she had not been seen by
any one on the island. Just as the red sun
had cleared the eastern sky-rlm they saw
her topsails showing through the groves of
cocoanuts on the southern point, and then
in a few minutes she came into full view.
From the number Of boats she carried the
islanders knew her to be whaler, and a
loud cry of delight rang through the viii
lage when she hauled UP her courses and
lay-to, to wait for the canoes to bring OF
supplies.
Only some three or four ships had ever
before visited the islands, and the open.
friendly manner of the natives and the de-
light they showed at meeting white men
and the desire they expressed to have one
to live among them was beginning to get
known among the whaleships that cruised
about in those latitudes sixty years ago.
1t was for this reason, and that he wanted
to buy some hogs, that Captain Abraham
Warren, of the Macedonian of Nantucket.
determined to make call at the islands
before working his way northward along
the east coast of New Guinea.
Taranoa, the leading chief Of this group
Of nine islets, was the first to board the
whaler, accompanied by half dozen Of his
young men. His simple pleasing manners
aud desire to serve the American captain
