During the next half hour Hamp passed
from one group to another, soon establish
ing himself as an open-hearted. good-na-
tured fellow who was ready to make
friends. And his character was saved
from undue gentleness, by the story of the
negro's capture, which followed him every
where.
At length a man stood up in wagon

groups closed in, Hamp and Sam In the

fate of the school house and court house

their hands and voices were always en-

a judicious seconding of the popular sen

and, as had been the case with the other
Offices it was to be decided upon by the
popular and easy method of showing hands.
Those of Hamp and Sam had been in the
air most of the time; but now when the
name of Bill Thompson was called, they
rose little quicker and their voices went
a little higher. But as the noise began to
subside, Bill Thompson himself was heard
speaking.

BENGAL TIGERS.

The maneater is usually an older tiger whose strength is failing and whose teeth have partly lost their sharpness. Such beast finds it easier to turk in the vicinity. of settlements and to pick up an occasional man, woman or child than to run down wild cattle.
 The largest, fiercest and most brightly colored tigers are found in the province of Bengal, near the mouths of the Ganges river, and not far from Calcut- ta, A full-grown Bengal tiger some times measures ten feet from nose to tip of tail. Such a monster makes no more account of springing upon man than cat does of springing upon d mouse. He surpasses the lion in strength, and ferocity, and has no rival among beasts of prey except the grizzly bear and the recently discovered giant bear of Alaska.-From St. Nicholas.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. l.. Me- Lean x Go.
 New York, May 1.-The general opin- ion in the coal trade is that a general strike of the miners in the anthracite coal regions is sure to take place. 1t is a well known fact that the coal opera tors were "'held up during the last presidential election and that the labor situation has never been satisfactory to them since that time, and they have been storing coal at reserve points for several months, evidently getting ready for the struggle that is at hand, but after it's first effect this strike should not prove disastrous to market values, as the coal companies were never in q better position than they are at pr5 sent and they will really be benefited by re- ducing their expenses during the sum- mer months.
 No boom at once in the market, but Union Pacific ought to go up. In all probability the next dividend on Union Pacific will be at the rate of , per cent. per anuum. London was particularly bullish and bought heavily day after the close of the regular market there Southern Pacific is another stock that should sell much higher almost imme- diately.

A FASCINATING SPORT.
WOMAN MEYER LOOKS MORE
 PEACEFULLY
Attractive Than on Horseback if Prop
 criy Costumed.

Fascinating and healthful as is the art of horseback riding for women there are certain rules which should be closely observed in order that the ri- der may enjoy her canter with safety. An element of recklessness enters into the temperament of many women and girls, which tempt them to try stceds that are beyond their control; for, say what one may, the strength and judg- lnent of the average woman is not up to that of man. Then, again, her clothing is more cumbersome in case of accident, and, taken altogether, be she ever so skilled a horseWoman, she must still look to her own safety when en- toying equestrian sports.
 A recent writer upon the subject of woman and horseback riding says that no horse is safe for a woman to ride un- less he will stand still, and allow her to mount from the ground without assis- tance; and no woman should ever be al- lowed to ride alone until she can per- form this very simple feat; can put on and readjust her own saddle and bri- dle, and know when others have placed them and fitted them properly. As she aspires to be independent, so must she be prepared, in every way, to take care of herself; and upon the heads of her male relatives be it if she is not prop cry instructed, and taught how to per form the simple duties needed. Every horse shrinkS after an hour or so of ex- ereise, and the saddle may turn at any moment in consequence, thereby endan- gering others, possibly, as well as the rider. An ounce of prevention is most valuable here.
 Proper costume should be carefully considered. Hair should be tightly con- fined; derby or sailor hat securely fitted and fastened; corsets loose; riding knickerbockers roomy an snug at knees; better kept down by band go- ing under the foot Gnside the booD which does away with all buttons. The habit should be very smart, and no matter what else you economize on, go to a first-class maker for it-or for the skirt anyhow. A high collar and plain tie; large loose gloves; boots or gaiters; no flowers, ribbons or anything super f1uous; useful, straight whip and not a useless crop-and you are ready
 Anything that is worth doing is worth taking pains to perform to the best advantage, and to nothing does this so much apply as to the female equestrian; her carriage, and her atti- tude. A woman is accepted as a good or bad performer solely upon her ap- pearance. She may be a perfect horse woman but if she looks shiftless, sits carelessly, dresses haphazard, she will never class among the experts as will her smart, neat, correct sister, who cannot really ride at ali-+but who Hooks the part" Riding schools and competent instructors are to be found everywhere nowadays, and no woman has any excuse for appearing upon horseback other than at her very best, and nowhere when projerly, snugly and 1 neatly turned out does she seem more ttractive.-Detroit News-Tribune.

------------------------- ----L-------- TT TOOK THE TRICK.

Charles H. Cramp, the veteran ship builder of Philadelphia, told the other day of his visit to Czar Alexander of Russia, the father of the present ruler, when he received the first order for con- structlng in his yards warship for the great empire of northern Europe.
 The czar received me standing among some dozen or more of his naval dignitaries, he said, "and while he was graciousness itself, 1 was none the less embarrassed. You see, l was not used to that sort of thing and really was wondering every minute just what would happen and what I would be ex- pected to do. The czar staad rather close to me as talked, and l found my self wishing I were bigger man as he lowered above me. Then, all of sud- den, he asked:
 MT Cramp, in what school of naval architecture were you educated?
 Your highness, I answered, I was educated in my fathers yards, He was educated in his fathers yards. We founded a school of naval architecture.'
 What put that into my head I will never know" continued MT. Cramp, but it took the trick. The czar caught me by the hand and said; MT, Cramp you were educated in the school that I am glad to have build ships for my navy '"--New York Times.

HOW To GROW cARNArIoNs.

The carnation likes a sunny situation and should be free from the immediate | neighborhood of taller plants. little soot and ashes may be scattered be- tween the rows and work into the soil with benefit to the plants. They should be cultivated thoroughly during the summer and abundantly supplied With
 water. Carnations from seed, grown in
 the open ground, will not give many
 flowers the first season. being properly
 biennial, but should be we'll protected
 during winter, and the following sum
 mer will give quantities of flowers until
 cut down by frost. The plants that
 have been grown in pots should be
 shifted into larger pots from time to time as the pots fill with roots, disturb ing the ball of earth as little as possi-
 ble; weak liquid manure may be given once week after the plants are in four inch pots increasing the amount some what as fall approaches and buds ap- pear By November the plants should be in four or five inch pots and ready to bloom. Buds that appear during sum mer should be removed and the strength of the plant reserved for vim ter blooming.
 A sunny window in winter, where the temperature will not rise much above fifty-fve degrees, is most congenial to the carnation, the usual air and temper ature of the living room being much ,J,,xy A away from direct heat that is one that receives it's heat from another room, suits them admirably and this room should be thoroughly aired every day, care being taken to protect the plants from drafts while this is being done. A screep that can be pushed between the plants and the open door is great con- venience and oteetion.-Pilgrim.

WHERE DOWNING FULL DRESS IS
 .IRKSOME

A belated traveller, who was compelled to stay all night in backwoods cabin, says that soon after the frugal supper of "sody biskits" and fried side meat" swimming in grease, had been eaten, a tall, gaunt youth of about eighteen and an equally sallow and gaunt girl of sev- enteen, both barefooted, took their hats from wooden pegs in the wall and pre- pared to go out, whereupon their moth CT, taking her pine from between her yellow teeth said reprovingly:
 "Go Tong an wash your feet Levi, you an Looly both! Hain't you 'shamed to go off to an evenin' party without washin' your feet?"
 They obeyed, but as Levi took the washpan from bench by the door he said, with a grumble,

FINE WORK.

With the wind blowing a heavy gale fire began on Friday in New Haven. The building was made of wood and in short time six or eight structures made of the most inflammable mater ial were wrapped in flames. It looked as if the Elm City were to receive such baptism of flame as never before had been chronicled. All the indications pointed to a terrific confirmation and the press despatches caused much apprehension.
 Yet in less than hour the flames had been subduced and the fire was un- der control. The New Haven fire de- pertinent seem to have worked rapid- ly and intelligently We hear no stories of questions of authority being mooted, of lack of water facilities or of bursting hose. Justly are the New Haven folks proud of the efficacy of their fire department in the event of fire emergency, The men seem to un- derstand discipline and to respect au- thority. They know what to do and they unEesitatingly do it.
 Possibly one reason why the New Haven firemen do such good work is because they have confidence in their offieers.-Brdgeport Evening Post.
