The boy ate a dried apple and then made up arter«~ |*ible face, and the grocery man asked trim what he was trying to do with his face. The boy caught his breath and then said: "Say, dont yon know any better than to keep dried apples where a boy can get hold of them when he has the lumps? You will kill some boy yet by _ ach dum carelessness. I thought these ' "were sweet dried apples, but they are Bour as a boarding-house keeper, and they make me tired. Didn't you ever liave the mumps ? Gosh, but don't it '.J^burt though ? You have got to be darn careful when you have the mumps, and lu>t go out bob-sledding, or skating, or you will have your neck swell up big- jger'n a milk pail. Pa says he had the , fntunps once when lie was a boy and it Iffioke him all np." "Well, never mind the mumps, how fcbout your pa spveeing it ? Try one of those pickles in the jar there, won't von. ' I always like to have a boy enjoy liim- . self when he comes to see me," said the grocery man, winking to a man who was filling an old fashioned tin bos with tobacco out of the pail, who winked Iback as much as to say "if that boy eats • * pickle on top of them mumps we will liave a circus, sure." "You can't play no piokle on me, not when I have the mumps. Ma passed •lie pickles to me this morning, and I took one mouthful, and like to had the t|ock-jaw. But ma didn't do it 6n pur- . I gness. She never had any tnumps and didn't know how discourag­ ing a pickle is. Darn if I didn't feel as though I had been struck in the butt of the ear with a brick. But about pa. He has been fuller'n a goose ever since Xew Year's day. I think its wrong for women to tempt feeble-minded per­ sons with liquor on New Year's. Now me and my chum, we can take a drink and then let it alone. We have got brain, and know when we have got enough, but pa, when he gets to going don't ever stop until he gets so sick that be can't keep his stumniick inside of hisself. It is getting so they look to Jtoe to me to brace pa up every time he rets on a tear, and I guess I fixed him this time so he will never touch liquor •gain. I scared him so his bald-head tinned gray in a single night.** "What under heaven's have you done to him now," says the grocery nisi, in astonishment. "I hope you haven't ekuie anything you will regret in after years." "Regret nothing," mud the boy, as he turned the lid of the cheese-box back and took the knife and sliced off a piece of cheese, and took a few cwickers out of a barrel, and sat down on a soap-box by the stove. "You see ma was an noyed to death with pa. He would come home full, when she had com­ pany, and lay down on the sofa and anore, and he would smell like a distil­ lery. It hurt me to see ma cry, and I told her I would break pa of drinking if alie would let me, and she said if I would promise not to hurt pa to go ahead, and I promised not to. Then I got my chum and another boy, quite a big boy, to help, and pa is all right. We went down to the place where they sell arms and legs, to folks who have served in the army, or i saw-mill, or a threshing-machine, and lost their limbs, And we borrowed some arms and legs and fixed up a dissecting room. We fixed a long table in the basement, big enough to lay ffa out on, you know, and then we got false whiskers and mous­ taches, and when pa came in the house drunk and laid down on the sofa, and got to sleep, we took him and laid him out on the table, and took some trunk straps, and a sircingle and strapped him down to the table. He slept right along all through it, and we had another table with the false arms and legs on, and we rolled up our sleeves, and smoked pipes' just like I read that medical students do when they cut up a man. Well, you'd a dide to see pa look at us when he woke up. I saw him open his eyes, and then we began to talk about cutting up dead men. We put hickory nuts in our mouths so our voices would sound dif­ ferent, so he wouldu't know us, and I was telling tike other boys about what a time we had catting up the last man we tKraght. 1 said he was awful tough, and when we had got his legs off and had taken out his brain, his friends omne to the dissecting room and claim­ ed the body, and we had to give it up, but I saved the legs. I looked at pa on the table and he began to turn pale, • and he squirmed around to get up, bat found he was fast. I had pulled his shirt up under his inns, while he was asleep, aad as he ltegan to move I took an icicle, and in tha dim light of the candles, that were sitting on the table in beer bottles, I drew the icicle across pa's stummicfe, and I said to my ahum, 'Doc, I guess we hod better out open this old duffer and see if 1M died from Inflammation of the stommick, from hard drinking, as the coroner said be did.' Pa shuddered • '• iiii (fell i> o*e» US bare_ stngimiek, and he said, 'Kit pod's soke, gentlemen, wliat does tfatsTaean ? I atn not dead.' The other boys botad at pa in astonishment, and I said, 'Weil, WE brought you for dead, and fay the eternal we ain't going to be fooled out of a oorpee when we buy one, are we. Doc ? MY chum said not if he knowed his self, and the other students said, 'Of course he is dead. He thinks he is alive, but he died day before yes­ terday, r«li dead on the street, and his folks said he had been a nuisance and they wouldn't claim the corpse, and we bought it at the morgue.' Then I drew the icicle across him again, and I said, 'I don't know about this, doctor, I find that blood follows the scalpel as I cut through the cuticle.' Pa began to wiggle around, and we looked at him, and my chum raised .his eye-lid, and looked solemn, and pa said, "Hold on, gentlemen. Dont cut into me any more, and I can explain this matter. This is all a mistake. I was only drunk.' We went in a corner and whispered, and pa kept talking all the time. He said if we would postpone the hog kill­ ing he could send and get witnesses to prove that he was not dead, but that he was a respectable citizen, and had a family. After we had held a consulta­ tion I went to pa and told him that what he said about being alive might possibly be true, though we had our doubts. We had found such cases be­ fore in Offir practice east, where men seemed tp be alive, but it was only tern porarv. Before we had got them cut up they Were dead enough for all prac­ tical purposes. Then I laid the icicle across pa's abdomen, and went on to tell him that even if he was alive it would be better for him to play that he was dead, because he was such a nui­ sance to his family that they did not want him, and I was tclliug him that I had heard that in his lifetime he was very cruel to liis boy, a blight little fel­ low who was at the head of his class in Suiulay-Bchool, and a pet wherever lie was known. When pa interrupted me and said, 'Doctor, please take that carv­ ing knife off my stomach, far it makes me nervous. As for that boy of mine, he is the condemndist little whelp in this town, and he isn't no pet anywhere Now, you let up on this disscetin' busi­ ness, and I will make it all right with you ?' We held another consultation and then I told pa that we did not feel that it was doing justice to society to give up the body of a notorious drunkard, after we had paid twenty dollars for the corpse. If there was any hope that he w ould reform and try and lead a differ­ ent life, it would be different, and I said to the boys, 'Gentlemen,we must do our duty. Doc, you dismember that leg, and I will attend to the stomach and upper part of the body. He will be dead before we are done with him. We must remember that society has some claims on us, and not let our better na­ tures be worked upon by the post mor­ tem promises of a dead drunkard. Then I took my icicle and began fumbling around the abdomen portion of pa's re­ mains, and my chum look a rough piece of ice and began to saw his leg off, while the other boy took hold of the leg and said he would catch it when it dropped off. Well, pa kicked like a steer. He said he wanted to make one more ap­ peal'to us, and we acted sort of impa­ tient, but we let up to hear what he had to say. He said it we would turn him loose he would give us ten dollars more than we paid for his body, and that he would never drink a drop as long as he lived. Then we whispered some more and then told him we thought favorably ' " " * " *" l»al he must of his prc|n^}iuou, swear, with his hand on the leg of a corpse we were then dissecting that he would never drink again, and then he must be blindfolded and be conducted several blocks away from the dissecting room, before we would turn him loose. He said that was all right, and so we blindfolded him, and made him take a bloody oath, with his hand on a piece of ice that we told him was a piece of an* other corpse, and then we took him out Of the house, and walked him around the block four time , and left him on a cor­ ner, after he had promised to send the money to an address that I gave him. We told him to stand still five minutes after we left him, then remove the blind­ fold, and go home. We watched him, from behind a board fence, and he took off the handkerchief, looked at the name on a street lamp, and found he was not far from home. He started off saving: "That's a pretty narrow escape old man. No more whisky for you." I did not see him again until this morning, and when I asked him where he was last night he shuddered and said 'none your darn business. But I never drink any more, you remember that.' Ma Was tickled, and she told me I was worth my weight in gold. Well, good day.* That cheese is musty." And the boy went and caught on a passing sleigh.--Peck's Sun. How Celors Harmonize With Traits el Character. Purity and guilelessness can best be represented by white, and its stainless snowy atmosphere always gives a sense of coolness also to the eye of the l>o- liolder. Blue, again, is a color of inno­ cence, and is apt to give an individual an air of delicacy and refinement, while the pale greens are scarcely inferior in the sauie effect; but the rose-color in one of the Lues of coquetry, is an ex­ pansive blooming color, and renders one, we know not how or why, much easier of approach than any of the colder colors do. Then there are few colors which wrap such an impression of dignity and majesty about one as purple does, especially the purple that inclines to violet, whether because of its royal and churchy association or ol anything inherent, as the way in which it retires into shadow rather than ob­ trudes, even wlyle maintaining its in­ tegrity in still self-assertion. One who wears Ted, on the other hand, may wish to express haughtiness or pride, anger or a species of defiance, but certainly nothing of shrinking modesty or of cold repose. And yellow, to conclude, may express a sunny serenity and generosity of nature carried even to its highest power. It is true that yellow, under certain circumstances, confesses injuri­ ous luxury of character, and ex pi esses exactly the opposite attributes to those which render white and blue appropri­ ate. Perhaps sonm of us remember a striking picture that was shown in the centennial exhibition some years ago, where, through the opening door of a convent, with its black and white robed nuns, out of the wild storm, a beau­ tiful woman implores shelter; she is clad in brilliant yellow, and one feel* the strength of the picture iu the con­ trast between innocence and guilt, the sin of the world seeking sanctuary, sym­ bolized by the yellow gown of beauty, the black and white of innocence and self-sacrifice.--Harper"ts Bazar.

They were a few yards belowttto bHd£ts;}uBt where the water breaks from the still pool be­ neath it, and flows with a rapid current over it roughly paved bottom. They were distinguishable from the yellowish brown and black stones and pebbles amid which tiiey were working only by their motions. Tliey were tug­ ging away at the small movable stones with great presistence. I went down to the water's edge where they were within reach of my staff, the bet­ ter to observe them. 'They would run up to the edge of the still water and seize upon the stones with their suction month and drag them back with the cm-rent and drop them upon the nest. I understood at once why their nests, which I had often observed before, were always placed at the beginning of a rift; it is that the fish may avail them­ selves of the current in building them. The water sweeps them back with the pebble in their mouth, their only effort being in stemming the current to seize it. They are thus enabled to move stones which they could not stir in still water. The stones varied in size from a wal­ nut. to a goose egg. When one of them was tugging away af a stone too lieavey for it, I would lend a helping hand with my staff; I would move the stone along gently, and the lamprey seemed entire­ ly unconscious of the fact that it was being helped; it would drop the burden at the proper point, and run up for an­ other. I-ndeed my aid and presence did not disturb them at all. From time to time, the larger of the two, which was the female, would thrust her tail with great violence down among the pebbles at the bottom of the creek and loosen them up, and set free the mud, which the current quickly carried away. The new material thus plowed up was car­ ried to the nest. Twice in the course of the lialf-liour that I observed them, the act of spawning took place. Besides helping move the larger stones with my staff, I several times plowed up the bottom Villi its poiut, thus relieving the female of that duty. The fish took it all as a matter of course, and seized upon the pebbles I had loosened with great alacrity. When I thrust my cane beneath them and tried to lift them out of the water, they would suck fast to the stones and prevent me; but they did not manifest any alarm. The lampreys become much exhausted with the spawning and nest building, and large numbers of them die when it is over. In June it is not unusual to find their dead bodies in the streams they inhabit.--John Bur­ roughs, in the Century. Polish Hospitality. The Poles are extraordinarily hos­ pitable ; they entertain without grudge. At every table in the large houses some extra places are laid ready for unex­ pected guests--as they say, "for the traveler that comes over the sea." It is possible in Poland to go uninvited to see vonr friend, taking your children, your servants, and horses, and to stay five or six weeks without receiving any hins to go. The Poles are fond of gayety, of amusement, of society; they love pleasure in all its bright and charming forms. The country houses are constantly full of viaitorn. ami in the winter there is often the "Kulig," a gathering which increases as it goes from house to house. It is taken from a peasant custom, and the nobles, when they get up a "Kulig," wear the peas­ ant costumes, very beautifully made. They go over the snow in sledges from house to house, dancing for two or three days at one, and then going on to an­ other, taking the people of the house which they leave with them. At last there are perhaps twenty sledges all full of people, dressed in bright colors and singing the songs of the "Kulig." At every house they dance the charac­ teristic dances of the occasion--the "Krakomlak," the "Mazur," and the "Oberek." The first is a very pretty and peculiar dance, in which the part­ ners turn away from each other and then come face to face; the "Mazur" is something like the quadrille, though it is by no means the same ; the "Oberek" resembles a waltz danced the reverse way, and with a very pretty and char­ acteristic figure, in which the man kneels on one knee and kisses his part­ ner's hand. They are all most charm­ ing and pretty, and the Poles dance with enthusiasm as well as grace. They have many national customs and cere­ monies which are occasions for dancing and pleasure., Then, in the autumn and winter, there is boar hunting. In this way, with these various amuse­ ments, the time passes in the country houses, and visitors will stay six weeks or perhaps six months. Wolseley'S Ideal Soldier. "What do you think are the most es­ sential qualities of a soldier and an army, Sir Garnet?" "Esprit de corps and pride. . A sol­ dier should be proud of his profession, and he should have the greatest inter­ est and feeling for his individual com­ mand. He should be dressed well. Even should he incline toward dandy­ ism that should be encouraged^ The better you dress a soldier the more highly he will be thought of by women, and consequently by himself. The duke of Wellington said of his officers iu Spain that many of the best men were the greatest dandies. Men in the campaigns of the past used to pride themselves on being slovenly. To be unshaved and dirty was supposed to be the sign of a good officer. The spirit ran like wildfire among the army. Whatever the officers think fine the men will think so, too. It is very diffi­ cult to make an Englishman at any time look like a soldier. He is fond of longish hair and uncut whiskers. In the field no person should wear his hair over have an inch in lenght. It should never be long enough to part. No man can have smart hearing who can part bis hair. Hair is the glory of a woman, but the shame of a man. Men who have never worn beards are apt to think that to wear one saves a good deal of trouble. It does so if you do not clean it, but to wear a long one and keep it clean demands more time and trouble than shaving. On service dis­ cipline deteriorates when but little at­ tention is paid to dress, and when the men wear almost what they like. P. T. Bantam i OB for pain.

Liszt is always surrounded by wom­ en, writes a correspondent of the Phila­ delphia Bulletin, who cling to him in a manner that suggests the love-sick maidens. He has the manners of a very young man toward these devoted women, though in one respect he en­ joys the privilege of old age. He kisses both hands and cheeks whenever he takes the fancy. Nearly every woman who greets him bends low over his hand and kisses it. There is a deal more kissiug done here than one sees in an American drawing-room, nearly all the German ladies kissing the hands of Wagner and Liszt at greeting.

In most parts of that country enormous quantities of blanched and bleached mosses are found that grew ages ago. These old mosses are now gathered and made into paper, which is found to be very fine in quali­ ty. A manufactory of paper from this material has begun operations near Jo- enkoeping, and it is turning out paper in all degrees of excellency, from tissue to three-quarters of an inch in thick­ ness. These latter are harder than wood. L2? A mort interesting feature of modem Italian life is the pwmteut survival of old manners and customs among peasantry. French influence has n fled the whole life of the upper classes; painters are for the most part content tp follow, the methods in yogue at the Salon; and the dearth of high-class music forms the stodk oomplaint of Englishmen and Germans who sojourn in Italy. But in spite of railways, telegraphs, and half-penny newspapers, the peasant remains much as he has l>een from time immemorial; his pots and pans are still fashioned in Etruscan shapes; his great white oxen are yoked in the simplest conceivable manner to carts of primeval pattern; and only a vear or two ago some friends of mine heard a bevy of Tuscan girls bantering each other in improvised rhymes such as Theocritus might have put into the mouths of Sicilian shepherd IMW, Popular life in Tuscany lias lost little of its brightness or of its individuality, and the peasant's humor is still racy as of old; and this survival of the past into the present gives a lively interest to the investigation of such customs as have dropped out of use, clothing the dry Ixmes of antiquarianism with the sinews and flesh of every-day life. Though the past be dead, there is no need to bury it out of sight; for its death wears the semblance of a sleep, from which it may rise anew, for aught we can see to prevent it, at any moment.--Macmil- lan'8 Magazine.
