Autograph Mania.


While visiting this country, Dickens
one morning receiving letter purport-
ing to have been written by an Eng
lish laboring man and his wife, in
which, in rough phraseology, they
stated that they heard a great deal re-
specting the beautiful books he had
written, and the good he had done for
Gus poor folks,'' and asked his permits
sion to name their little baby boy after
him, promising to SO educate him that
he might fully appreciate the works of
the novelist. Dickens sent letter
stating that he was proud to know that
his name had been conferred on the
child in recollection of his writings,
and wishing that the little one might
become all that his parents hoped to
see him, adding that if he could ever
learn that he had been the means Of
awakening in the little one any new
love for his fellow-creatures, and a de-
sire to help them with his sympathy,
he should feel much pleasure in the
knowledge. This first letter, it ap-
pears, was merely subterfuge on the
part of the son of an officer in the ar
nv. who was desirous of obtaining the
autograph of the novelist for his col
lection. He was ashamed of the mean
trick he played upon Dickens, but from
it he gained a far higher appreciation
of the character Of the writer than ne
otherwise might have had.

Two citizens Of Nebraska were
caught in one of those violent funnel
shaped clouds, and, as they scooted
along in the midst of ruins of build
ings and flying trees, one of them re-
marked: "This is the worst cyclone l
ever saw" Ignorant man." cried the
other in tones of scorn that were al
most drowned by the rush of the storm,
"can you distinguish cyclone from a
tornado? Are the teachings of science
altogether lost upon you? This is a
tornado, and, as described by Professor
Loveland and Meteorologist Gee, it
is" just then church steeple
transfixed the speaker and he perished
in great agony, while the other man
drifted along for ten miles or SO and
was dumped softly into a sandbank.
AS he brushed the sand out of his teeth
and ears he remarked: well, that
was the worst cyclone l ever saw. -

1t is a fact that the stokers on board
an ocean liner" provided the men
are steady in their habits, suffer
scarcely at all from their arduous la
bors. A stoker works four hours at a
stretch, and during that time the tenn
perature of his surroundings varies
from 120 to 160 degrees. One stoker
usually has four furnaces to attend to,
and while feeding one furnace a man
has to be extremely careful or his arm
will be burnt by the furnace behind
him. AS rule, man is occupied for
about three minutes at each furnace,
and directly he had finished he rushes
to the air-pipe and awaits till his turn
comes round again. 1t has been found
that the work is least injurious to the
men who are regularly employed at 1t.

TRADING STAMPS ILLEGAL.
State Law in Massachusetts, Making
Their Use Unlawful

Their Use Unlawful
The recent passage of the state law
declaring trading stamp methods IL
legal has removed a pressure from
large number of cycle dealers in Mas
sachusettS. The trading stamps were
sold by a company to retail dealers
in all lines of trade, who in turn gave
them to customers in amounts proper
tionate to purchases. The stamps were
redeemed by the company which is
sued them in various household ar
ticles. The promoting company reap
ed a rich harvest, especially as many
people gave up saving the stamps when
they found how slow was the process
of securing enough to be of value. The
retail dealer, however, paid for all
stamps which he gave away whether
they were redeemed or not. Trading
stamp methods proved so demoralizing
to business that the legislature ruled
them out of the state. The act was
a relief to cycle dealers who went into
the scheme, the dealers admitting, as
rule, that they were unable to trace
any benefit to the use Of the stamps
and that they virtually paid the trad
ing stamp people five per cent OF their
gross receipts without any return
Connecticut dealers still have the trad
ing stamp incubus saddled upon them.

The Boy of 1000 Years Ago.

The numerous papyri unearthed
some time ago by Messrs. Grenfel and
Hunt from the ancient city Of Oxy-
rhyncus, Egypt, are being gradually
deciphered. One of them, a letter from
boy, evidently a petted darling, to
his father, sounds strangely modern,
though it is at least 1000 years old:
"Theon to His Father Theon, Greeting:
1t was fine thing of you not to take
me with you to the city! If you won't
take me with you to Alexandria I
won't write you a letter or speak to
you, or say good-by to you; and if you
go to Alexandria 1 won't take your
hand, nor ever greet you again. That
is what will happen if you won't take
me. Mother said to Archelaus, 1T
quite upsets him to be left behind (?)'
1t was good of you to send me presents
on the 18th, the day you
sailed. Send me a Tyre, implore you.
If you don't, I won't eat, won't drink;
there now!"

INSTANCES OF Their Remarkable POWor1

General Cook is quoted by Edward S.
Ellis as having seen an Apache lope
for 1,500 feet up the side Of a mountain
without showing the first signs Of ia
tigue, there being no perceptibls sign
of increase of respiration. Captain H.
l.. Scott, Of the Seventh Cavalry, has
related some astonishing feats per-
formed by the Chiracahua Apaches
forming Troop L of his regiment He
tells how nine of these Indians, after
hard days work, by way of recrea-
tion pursued coyote for two hours,
captured the nimble brute and brought
it into camp; how, on another occasion,
the scouts gave chase to q deer, ran it
down some nine miles from camp and
fetched it in alive. Hence / see no
good reason for doubling the word of
an old-timer met in the Rocky noun
tains, who told me that, in the days
before the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road was built, the Pima Indians of
Arizona would recover settlers stray

two or three days. After this one may
begin to believe that Lying Jim"
Beckwourth, whose remarkable adven-
lures early in this century are pre-
served in book form, was much-ma-

than the truth when he said he had
known instances of Indian runners ac-
complishing upward Of ITO miles in one
day.-Lippincott's Magazine.

Even Saxon courtesy may be car
ried little too far. When about to
return from Bohemian village to a
frontier town in Saxony, the occupants
of a sledge had their foot-warmers
carefully rinsed out and replenished
with full-bodied Hungarian wine. Thus
they passed the guard post without let
or hindrance to the merry jingling Of
the sleighbells. Laughing and joking
at the success of their little dodge, they
called at wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one
of the party exclaimed: "Why, the
foot warmers are quite hot!" Then the
boots of the inn stepped forward and
said, with a friendly grin: "The foot
warmers were quite cold, gentlemen,
so just to oblige you. I emptied and
filled them again with hot water."-

The Study of Bacteria.

Prof. E. E. Klein, speaking of Mod
ern Methods in Bacteriology" before
the Royal Institution of Great Britain
a short time ago, alluded to the great
advances that have been made in this
science since it's inauguration by Koch
in 1SS1-1S82. So far has the study OF
bacteria developed that it is now pos
sible not only to count, but also to
weigh them. A postage stamp 7-8 inch
long, and ga wide would carry $780,
0O0,O 900 of the typhoid fever baciin, and
if the layer were made a tenth Of an
inch deep, there would be 1000, ,000, ,000,-
600. If fifteen drops of bacteria were
let fall. in cup of broth, they would
produce in twenty-four hours S0,OO0.-
900. The degree of refinement mani
tested by the bacteriologist in his re-
searches is shown by the statement OF
the same authority that it is now pos
sible to detect one part Of sewage

For a number of years Sawtelle's
teasel farm, in a pretty nook ON the
border of Molalla prairie, has been an
attraction to people en- route from Ore
gon City to Wilhoit Springs. A party
of wheelmen from Portland made q
halt there few days since and were
shown over the place by Mr.. Sawtelle,
who has been engaged in raising teasels
there since 1860. He has over fifty
acres in teasels this year, and will
handle the output of forty acres raised
by neighbors. He has large sheds for
storing and curing these teasels, and
a number of ingenious machines for
trimming and sorting them and pre-
pairing them for market, which requires
much skill and knowledge of the re-
quirements of the manufacturers who
use them. Any one can grow teasels
in fact, they will grow themselves,
but very few can market them. Mr..
Sawtelle says he is going out Of the
business. Recently some ingenious
fellow has invented a machine which
comes so nearly filing the place OF
the teasel that the demand for them
is likely to come to an end. The crop
of teasels is being harvested now. They
are cut as soon as the blossoms begin
to fall. They have to be sorted accord
ing to size and handled twenty-eight
times before they are ready for mar
ket. The points of the hooks on the
teasels are finer than the finest cambria
needle; in fact, so fine that one can't
find them, except by feeling for them.
The teasels are used for raising the
| nap on cloth, and so far nothing has
been found to fully take their place.

His EXPLANATION.

The explanations authors are COM
PEELED to make to readers of literal or
immature mind-when they are oblig-
ing enough to make them at all-are
often as good literature as the passage
which called them forth. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton says, in her Eighty
Years or More" that she once wrote
Doctor Holmes, at the request of
young nephew of hers, to ask an i'm
portant question. Did the doctor real
ly have servant who almost laughed
himself to death, as described in 1.-THE
Height of the Ridiculous?" Doctor
Holmes replied: 81 wish you would
explain to your little nephew that the
story of the poor fellow who almost
died laughing was kind Of dream of
mine, and not real thing that hap
pened, any more than that an old wo-
man lived in a shoe, and had so many
children she didn't know what to do,
or that Jack climbed the beanstalk and
found the giant who lived at the top OF
it. You can explain to him what is
meant by Imagination, and thus turn
my youthful rhymes into a text for a
discourse worthy of the Concord school
of philosophy. I have not my poems
by me, but I remember that The
Height of the Ridiculous ended with
this verse:
"Ten days and night with sleepless
eyes
I watched that wretched man,
And since, never dare to write
AS funny as l can.'
But tell your nephew he mustn't t
| cry about it, any more than because
geese go barefoot, and bald eagles have
no nightcaps."

Private Smelling of the First Illinois
regiment had a peculiar experience
while doing patrol duty on the wharf
es were there. Smoking was prohib-
tied, a big warehouse being near, and
notices were posted on all hands. So
says the Chicago News, which thus
continues the story: The order was
strictly obeyed, as a general thing, but
as Private Smelling was patrolling his
beat he saw a rotund man in full uni
sorbed manner with gray-moustach-
ed, straight, soldierly-looking gentle
man dressed plainly in black, and
wearing straw hat. Both were smok-
ing, and continued to do so in entire
forgetfulness till their path was barred
by a Springfield rifle. "Sirs, you will
have to quit smoking" ordered the
voice as he noted that the man in uni
form had on his shoulders the two
star insignia of the rank of major-gen-
eral. Eyes, certainly" calmly observ-
ed the smokers, grinding their weeds
under their heels First Illinois, !
perceive" remarked he Of the citizen s
clothes. Every good, very good, in
deed" and with that they passed on
Smelling joined his lieutenant min
ute later and gasped, "Say, just ran
into a major-genera1 and made him
quit his weed; it was Shafter, wasn't
it?" Eyes, that was Shafter, my boy,
said the lieutenant, ''and do you know
who that amiable gentleman with hin
was?" 'No, who was he? Anybody
big?" Nobody at all; only Gen. Mel
son A. Miles, whose name is sometimes
in the newspapers"

II certain stories are not true, sure
ly, in the interests of humor, they
ought to be. 1t is related by Miss
Selfridge, in the Outlook, that when
Lii Hung Chang was in London, he
placed splendid wreath on the monu-
ment Of General Gordon, Chinese Cor
don," who had been his companion
in arms years before. A relative Of
Gordon was so deeply moved by this
act, that he sent to the Chinese states
man with his compliments a specially
fine bull-terrier, the winner Of several
prizes, and a remarkable specimen Of
canine birth and breeding. The fol-
lowing letter was received in acknowl-
edgment: my Dear Gordon:-While
rendering my best thanks for sending
me your dog, beg to say that, as for
myself, 1 have long since given up the
practice of eating dogs flesh; but my
attendants, to whom handed the crea-
ture, tell me they never tasted any
thing so nice. Your devoted. L."

STAMP THE WORLD.
Stamp of Mauritius Recently Sold TO,
$1,000.

This penny Mauritius stamp was is
sued together with a twopenny of SIM
liar design, in 1S47, it's extreme rarity
being due not only to the time which
has elapsed since it's appearance, but
also to the very small number printed.
1t is the rarest stamp in the world,
and has been recently purchased by
an Englishman for over $1,000, which
is the highest sum ever given for a
single stamp in England. Only one
other copy on the original envelop is
known, and that is in the British
museum. 1t is believed that nearly all
these stamps were used upon the day
Of issue in franking invitations to an
official ball, and, as the envelope is
small and suitable only for inclosing
a card or single sheet of paper, and
also as the date of the postmark and
the handwriting on the envelope are
precisely similar to that of the only
other known copy, a certain amount Of
probability, on these grounds alone, is
attached to the above theory.

A Modern Fable.

Once upon a time tramp was sore1y
in need of something to eat, and ap-
preaching farmhouse he spake unto
the farmer, saying: 'If you will give
me the wherewithal to satisfy the crav-
ings of the inner man, I will kill all
the rats about the place" Agreed"
said the tiller of the. soil, and he or
dered his good wife to give the tramp
a square meal. After the tramp had
devoured everything in sight he went
to the woodpile and selected a stout
club, then, seating himself on the
porch, he said to the former, "Now
bring on your rats. s."-Chicago News.
