steady:

Then followed n battle of looks be-

knuckled under, put up his weapon, and
resumed his seat, grumbling like beat

"And now. sir" continued the doctor,

A Russian journal that has recently
come under our notice calls attention
TO the fact that for some 20 years past
thu inhabitants of malarial locality
in the government Of Kharkov have used
powdered crabs with great success In
the case of fevers. The powder In pre-
pared in the following way: Live crabs
are poured over with ordinary whisky
until they get asleep; they are then put
ON bread pan i'm a hot oven, thorough
ly dried and pulerized, and the powder
passed through fine sieve. One dose,
"a teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to
cure the intermittent fever; i'm very OBJ
stinate cases a second dose IN required.
Each dose is invariably preceded by a
glass OF aloe brandy ASA purgative. The
powder is used In that locality in pref
ererce 20 quinine. SO says the journal

BLACK DOG APPEARS AND DIsAP-
PEARS.
1t was not long after this that there
occurred the first of the mysterious
events that rid US at last of the captain,
though not, as you Will see, of his af-
fairs. 1t was bitter, cold winter, with
long, hard frosts and heavy gales; and
il was plain from the first that my poor
father was little likely 10 see the
spring. He sunk daily and my mother
and j had all the inn upon our hands,
and were kept busy enough without
paying much regard To our unpleasant
guest.
1t was one January morning, very
early-a pinohing, frosty morning
the cove all gray with hoar-frost, the
ripple tapping softly on the stones, the
sun stilllow, and only touching the hill
tops and shining far 10 seward. The
captain had risen earlier than usual,
and set out down the beach, his cutlass
pwinging under the broad skirts Of
the old blue coat, his brass telescope
under his arm, his hat tilted back upon
his head. / remember his breath hang
ing like smoke in bis wake as he strobe
off, and the last sound 1 heard of him,
as he turned the big rock, was a loud
snort Of indignation, as though his
mind was still running upon DIR. Live

THE RETROOPTICON.
An Invention That Enables wheel-
men to See what II Going
ON behind Them.

1t is not often that a bicyclist concerns
himself with what is going on behind
him, but for those who do device
called a retro-opticon is now available.
This addition to the equipment of a
wheel consists of convex mirror, 2X
inches in diameter, i'm nickel frame,
with ball and socket joints, so that any
angle may be secured. IL Is TO be used
on the handlebar, preferably just in
front OF the left grip. and when 40
placed, IL enables a rider TO scan the
road behind him without moving his
head, the convexity OF the mirror Civ
ing IL wide scope. The excuse for tho
invention of this device is that there
are many conditions in which IL Is
found desirable, owing TO the increased
number of rubber-tired vehicles. cable
and trolley lines. a larger size In made
for use on row boats and vehicles.
Among the novelties for this season Is
most useful lock stall. II Is made OF
heavy spring wire, with malleable iron
wall plate, and is rubber covered at
points where the wheel touches. II IN
highly recommended for baggage cars,
steamboats,, churches, colleges, ETC.,
where space Is valuable. While the
lower wheel rests on bracket attached
to the side of the car. or on a wall, tho
iron loop OF the stall slips over the
front wheel, which is uppermost, and
so engages IL that IL IL immoyable, and
can be securely locked.

Humor.
On his first visit to Aberdeen an Eng
lish commercial traveller, having re-
ceived some marks of kindness from
one of its inhabitants, exclaimed, in
an offhand way, on his departure:
"If at any time you or any of your
people come up to London, don't put
up at hotel, but come to u.s."

conically, and away the southron went.
Six months passed, and the English
man had long forgotten the incident,
when, TO his surprise, he received one
morning the following note:
my Dear Friend AS myself my wife
and four children are coming up to Lon
don for a fortnight, we will be glad to
avail ourselves of your kind invitation"
Facing the situation with unquestion-
able courage, the southerner put him
self To unutterahle inconvenience TO ac-
commodate his guests. He took them
everywhere, paid for everything, and,
at the end of the stipulated time. they
announced their departure. The host
accompanied them TO the station, and in
the fullness Of his gratitude at the ex-
odus, invited the father TO have a part
