Dinners served Up lm 8 Tree.

A restaurant exists at the village CT Robinson (named after Crusoe), about ten miles from Paris, where they serve dinners up in tree. This restaurant has turned the trees of it's garden inlo small thatch-roofed payilions. They are built solfdly into the branches. and plainly furnished. with deal tables, straw-seated chairs, and coarse, clean napery. The visitors ascend by flight of rustic steps, and the food is hauled up in wicker baskets by stout cord and pulley. There Is a waiter below, waiter above and, considering the distance the viands have to travel be- fore they appear on the table they are served tolerably hot. "There were said a gentleman who recently dined there, "three stories or platforms or the tree on which my party dined. We occupied the middle one. while the pa ytlion above us was in the possession of a group of yocalists. Every one was in high spirits. and the dinner in tree proved a great success.

The Leaf of Young Grain.-There is much =a=4erenee in the breadth, size and color of leaf in young grain as it comes up. It is partly dependent on the character of the seed, as the plant sends up it's first leaves mainly from the starehy matter which eneloses the germ and which the germ uses until it is able to put forth roots into the soil. Barley heinz larger and heavier than oats has always a broader leaf, though if oats are soWn on rich land and some what late they will come up with leaf that 9ks like barley. But this rank growth early is not regarded fayorably by the eultivator, for he knows that it is liable to be followed by rust of stalk or grain later in the season. liar rowing grain that comes Up with too small and thin leaf bruises these first leaves, and as it also stimulates root growth 1t causes the plant to send up new shoots with much broader leaves. This dries out the soil, thus preventing the excessive growth later that invites rust.-Ex.

A Suspicious Case.

A telephone message was re.
ceived here this morning, by Que of
our quarantine officers saying that
a suspicious case had broken out at
Index which was thought to be
smallpox. Index is a small station
on the Pee Gee road ten miles from
this city, and some 800 men are
camped there engaged in putting
up bridge across the river. Many
of them come and 90 from this city
daily, and it would be well to in
vsstigate this case and if it is small
poX to quarantine against that
place,
We learn from Mr.. Dick Hewitt,
who is In from Index that the two
suspicious cases are at Dick Lewis,
colored man living on the Texas
side and that a doctor who was sent
there from here, he did not know
his name, had pronounced the cases
very suspicious. Mr.. Hewitt said he
had spoken to DR.. Talbot about the
cases, but the doctor told him he
had nothing to do with it, We learn
from Doctor McMahon that these
two cases were On the Dixon farm,
on the Arkansas side, and that
Judge Hamilton was apprised of the
fact and asked to investigate.
There is one thing sure and GER
tain, some one should look after
these suspicious cases and if they
prove to be smallpox they should
be quarantined against,

"Bring me drink of Hennessy, Mr..
Johnston, and please send over to the

will have a fresh deck for each deal. "
The chips were counted and the play
began. Melville was much the cooler
of the two. He had smoked very little
and drank nothing during the night,
while his opponent had "braced'' him
self repeatedly and had smoked inces-
sanity, leaving his nerves shattered.
McLane's luck did not desert him,
and as he gradually lowered Melville's
latter's cautious play, he became ag-
gressive and confident He called for
whisky frequently, but Melville drank
no more. He won occasionally but his
losses exceeded his gains for long
time. Then he drew big hand and
won back all that he had lost. The chips
were coming to his side of the table
now.
The awed spectators were gathered
around the table watching as the two
men played in silence. They had stop
ped to see stiff poker game. Instead
they were witnessing duel.
1t was Melville's deal There were
several raises before the draw, and then
McLane took two cards. Melville tossed
the deck aside and said, "I'll play
these" Stacking up his chips, he showed
them to the center. "I'll tap you,' be
said. Without moments hesitation
the gambler put in his pile and called

We have all seen the man with SO
diplomatic oountenance that an earth
quake would hardly produce any change
in his imperturbable face We are apt
to infer that these sphinxlike persons
never feel emotion, whereas they do not
betray their feelings like the generality
of people.
Columns have been written about the
impassiveness of Disraeli's expression.
A German philosopher once went to
Berlin for the sole purpose of studying
his character and discovered what every
one had searched for in vain. "Like all
men, wrote the keen observer, she has
one sign of emotion which never fails
to show itself, the movement of the leg
that is crossed and the foot. :"
But il there was ever man of "iron
self control" that man was Lockhart,
the famous biographer. He formed the
idea in youth that it was unmanly to
make any violent display of joy or grief,
and he succeeded so well in REFRESHING
his feelings that when he grew up he
could not show them. When his brother
and sister died within few days of
each other, Lookhart did not cry or 9TH
erwise relieve his deep and terrible feel
ings, and the consequence was that he
became so i'll that his life was in jeopar-

A Rigid Examination.

Colonel Alexander Gardner, in his
volume entitled Soldier and Traveller, -
says that during stay in Asia he was
once suspected of being a Russian spy.
This was an accusation of great con-
sequence, as Russians were very unpop-
ular at the time, but the traveller was
PROSTATE with fever and almost indif-
ferent as to what might befall him.
Application was made to the khan of
Khiva, and in great state of anxiety
as to the travellers identity he deputed
three learned men who had travelled
over half the world to examine him.
This was the abstruse and terrific ex-
animation with which they were salts
fed:
What are your" asked they.
''An American" was the answer.
Still they were suspicious, and one
man, very enlightened scholar, offered
as browning test this deep and con-
elusive geographical question:
Gould you go by land from America
to England?'
"No, was the prompt reply, and the
questioner, as much delighted at his
own superior learning as at the trav-
eler's integrity, declared that he was
convinced. This was an American in
deed.
