But now on our right and gpl^left, 011 either side of the river, a chorus " of load roaring began. The night was as yet pitchy dark, for the moon would ,,,not rise till the early morning.

However, feeling that it was despicably tame to lie still in bed and go to sleep wliile my porters ; -were Slivering with fear, I arose, took •/ * nay gun and fired into the bushes where jfc. the roaring was loudest.

The deportment ic' - ^ of the man is more of an indication ;i' , -"'i than that of the woman. Two weeks •ff with their necks in the matrimonial L * noose, and when they walk down town F \ ^ together the young wife stops before a ^ - shop window resplendent with articles lllv'-'r ? of dress, so dear to the eye of woman ^ and to the purse of a man, and she re- ]fl f marks as she points to a display of .rich j^.,„ ,, dress goods: "Aren't those lovely, k dear; and just look at those laces, tr'- aren't they beautiful?" and, bending n- * low over his precious charge, the young |L •:*> husband, flattered because his opinion d<l' -f: is asked regarding material for orna- menting the opposite sex, breathes: % ' •' c "Charming, dear; superb, and you must n, " t soon have a dress off that very piece," |L*;, T and she looks up into his face with kindling eyes, and says: "You precious jfe' V darling, you're too good to live."

Humor in Hhtory. The early Saxon# had no humor. During the English heptarchy", the petty kings were never known to smile except when inflicting punishment on an enemy. Cutting off a man's head was regarded as a practical joke, but the victim did not see any mirth in the performance. The Normans were the first to carry humor into England. The conqueror was a rare joker, that is. his j&kes were extremely rare. John's jokes were expensive. On one occasion he levied a fine of ten thousand marks on a wealthy Jew of BristoL The Jew refused to pay the sum. "All right," said John. "It is yonr business not to pay, .but it is my busi­ ness to see that you do." Then, call­ ing an officer, the king remarked: "Take this man in custody, treat him welt, but pull one of his teeth each day until he heartily embraces my proposition." The next morning the office pulled one tooth. The rich Hebrew was noted for his fine teeth. They had won an extended reputation for him and, naturally enough he valued them highly. When the ollicer reported that he had pulled one tooth, the king "How did he stand it?" "He groaned, bnt said nothing." '.'All right, feed him on tough beef and keep up the performance." The next morning when the officer went into Jacob's cell, the old man snicl: " Why do you persist in pulling my best teeth ?" Because, my dear sir, the king will have none but the best. He argues that the best is always the cheapest." "It may l>e for him, but not for me." That's all right," the officer replied, "but the king did not send me here to argue. Open your mouth." Another tooth was drawn, a tooth which had above all others, won the affections of the old man. The per­ formance was repeated every day until ten teeth were extracted.* On the morning of the eleventh day, the officer, upon entering the cell, found the old man violently and painfully worrying with a piece of beef. * "Come, old man." The old man put down his beef, looked appealingly at the officer, and said: "Can't you give a man time to eat ? I am nearly starved." "You have had plenty of time, and, aside from that, the king's, motto is, 'Duty before pleasure.'" "I can't afford to give up any more teeth." "Well, them, give me an order for the money." The order was given and the Hebrew gentleman, accompanied by the rest of his teeth, was suffered to depart Dr. Killingliopper, in his treatise on the "Rise and Progress of Dentistry," Bays that rich Jew's teeth were, in different parts of the kingdom, hung out in front of the dentists' offices, and that to-day one of them may be seen in Bristol. Tlits tooth, the Doctor goes on to say, is, on account of its long roots and the ghastly suggestions which it inspires, much valued by dentists. The private account book, which, according to Hume, was kept by Ed­ ward IL, stows that a crown was paid to a fool for making the king laugh. Edward, after bestowing the piece of money <on the clown, should have felt a warm sympathy for him, for he, like Edward, was a fool with a crown. This king experienced great trouble in ac­ quiring laughs. Sometimes the most extensive advertising failed even to bring a giggle.--Arkatutatv Traveler. Epes Sargent on Poc. "But though his looks were attractive, undeniably, his chief charm was his voice, which was unusual in itu conver­ sational range, now low and round aiid sweet, now rising to keenness and thril- lingly sweet like a woman's, and then again so sharp as to suggest an acid. I was never favored with the bursts of 'supra-mortal eloquence,' by which his enemy, Griswold, admits he sometimes astonished people. I think I saw him ruther in his average, everyday moods, and he struck me as being fonder of thinking than of giving expression to thought I have doubted whether, had he not been forced by poverty, he would have written much. Had he been rich it seems to me, hit exquisite sense of beauty in color and form would have satisfied itself in the crea­ tion of castles a la Beckford and in landscape gardening on the colossal scale hinted at in some of his stories-- for instance, the 'Domain of Arnheim.' But, of course, such speculations are idle, for he was poor; he was more than poor; having been raised r'.ch, as the southreners say, he was cursed with poverty. "I saw nothing of his private life, but I used to meet him in a little eating- house on Nassau Street, Nefi- York. In talk he could be humorous, but was generally sarcastic or scientific. In fact, he was about the ooly man of let­ ters I ever knew who seemed to love dry knowledge; and though he ridi­ culed the mathematicians as a class, he was more deeply versed,. perhaps, in things of that kind than in general and poetic love. I do not think he knew more Greek than the average Harvard student. In Latin, I believe he was profoundly skilled, even to a minute knowledge of the later Christian Latin- ists; while in French, Spanish, and Italian, I should fancy he was tolerably proficient. His critical faculty over­ balanced his creative, and, say what they may of his general savagery and occasional partiality in this line, all lii.s important literary verdicts seem to have stood and become more firmly fixed by time. "Do I think Poe was a drunkard? Well, no; not in the years I knew him --certainly not an habitual drinker. I only remember once seeing him in liquor, and on that occasion--it was in the little eating-house I mentioned--ho staggered up and began upbraiding me in half-humorous, half-earnest fashion for not accepting a poem of his. I told him I should have been glad to, but eouldn't afford to pay him a fair price, and he raised the siege by remarking with a hiccup and his nearest approach to a smile, 'It was a great mislitake, Sargent (hie) great mishtake! I would have 'mortalizail you, sir--'mortalized you!' "--Brooklyn Magazine.

HaFati * 8t«p>to » Strilw tart !•Struck Out If imaelf. It was out in Arizona, An outfit had come on to do some work on the new- barracks at the fort, and they were an orney set, you bet They were getting. $3.50 a day, and when order* came out from headquarters to rush things at the p^st they up and struck for $4, after every man of them had signed an agreement to work for $3>60. The con­ tractor mounted his mustang and rode over to where the gang was hanging out I happened to be over there when he came up, writes Noah Count, ill Drake's Magazine. "What's the row here?" says he. "We can't work for no $3.50," says the leader. "What do von mean by that?" "We want U." "Struck, have you?--Struck? Get to work, every blanked one of you! The first man that says strike tome I'll let daylight into him !M "I say strike," says the red-haired, red-shirted, ugly-mugged leader, "an' if there's any sliootin' going on, I'm here!" That wasn't my day for being in the target biz, and I flopped flat as a pan­ cake. The contractor had levelled dead at the man--but he only had one shot in his gun. •Zip! --zip!--rip!--rip! The red-shirt was. down at the first shot, with his "seven-up" out just as he struck gravel. Up he hoisted on his left elbow ; then he banged away, while the oontraetor did some lively dodging , that was the last three zips. The red-shirt rolled over, and the contractor asked me if there was any doctor around. I said, "Yes, over at the quarters." "He got that last one into me, sure; let's see that doc." We went over and found the surgeon. I got the contractor on my bed, skinned off his clothes, washed away the blood, and the surgeon probed him. It was a bad hole in the left luug. "I reckon it's an ugly one, doc? Dead sure thing, eh ? Yes? I thought so. How long have I got?" " It was 1 o'clock then. • "You'll last till evening." "That's all right. But did I fetch him?" "Dead as a door naiL " "I'm blanked" glad that blankety blanked blank is fixed." He wanted me to take charge of the $20,000 in gold notes in his belt and write to his brother. After that he called for a square drink--and got it! Next he must have the toniest cigar in the camp. The surgeon said: "Yes, it didn't make no difference." I got a real Havana. He smoked away at it slow and comfortable like, and when the cigar was played he expressed his ^satisfaction that everything was lovely, passed a few more compliments about that red-headed blankety blank who was fixed, then he quit; but he was game, though, you bet. The really curious thing was that when we sent 011 that red-haired striker there was just that one hole in him, and that was pluinb through his heart. How he hoisted onto that off arm of his'n and set that contractor dodging them three shots beat the whole outfit.--coroner's inquest, post Burgeon, and me. But he did--I'll swear to that--and I'll swear that con­ tractor miscalculated the last dodge, somehow, and made connection that way with kingdom come. I wrote to that brother of his'n as per request, and he wrote back as how the contractor had killed three men before the last matinee, and that he "had always told him he'd run plumb ag'in a pill some day if he wasn't blanked careful like." Yes, it was a touching letter. Did the strikers go to work for $3.50? You can just gamble on it, stranger. •• By Lights and Shadows. Up a rickety flight of steps on the west side, kept in continual tremor by the pulsations of a huge engine in the basement beneath, is a room of modest appointments. Bending over one of the benches in it may be seen almost any day a man of perhaps 70 years. Time, which has laid the frost of age upon his head, seems to have kindled afresh the sparkle in his clear, steady eyes. The windows of the room look out upon a busy thoroughfare. Against one of these hangs a plate of ground glass a little more than a foot square. Across this plate is fastened horizontally a bar of ebony three-eighths of an inch wide. Standing twenty or more feet from the plate, the old man lays a gun barrel upon a convenient rest in such a way that its aim is directly at the ebony bar. Stoop­ ing, he looks through the barrel from the rear, turning it slowly around and adjusting it from time to time with ex­ treme care and nicety. " Would you like to take a peep?" he asks, good humoredly. Putting your eye to the butt you see two fine lines or shades cast into the barrel by the ebony bar. .The}' join at the further end and gradually diverge. No break occurs in them--the barrel is perfect. Another barrel is laid on the rest and its position accurately adjusted. Look­ ing throuph it you see the shades cast by the bar broken at several places-- the barrel is crooked and imperfect Taking it from the rest the operator lays it upon a huge block of hardwood and s'rikes it here a heavy blow and then a light one, graduating the force with great delicacy. Again tlie#ight is fixed on the bar and an observation of the shades made, the alternate sighting and hammering being related until the lines of shade show no break. After each hammering the barrel is rel>ored. Toward the last almost imperceptible crooks, known as "kinks," appear, and as the- l>arrel approaches perfection greater and greater skill is called for in its manipulation. Thus it is that a gun barrel is straightened. The shades show the most minute imperfections.--Chi­ cago News. Science and Love. British sages have been considering the science of falling in love. At the recent British Association meeting, Sir George Campbell suggested that a vast race improvement would be brought about by pairing individuals according to physiological fitness instead of yield­ ing to foolish id< as about love. This has led Mr. Grant Allen to show that the instinct of love is usually excited by complementary natures and the biolog­ ically excellent traits of youth, beauty, health, and strength. This condition is most favorable to improvement, and justifies the o|d theme of the novelist and the poet It is marriage on some other basis--for money, rank or other practical reasons--that results in deteri­ oration. Yet the' word is urged for science that it may so influence public sentiments that even more fitting selec­ tion will be made under t^e uuqpnacious direction of its teachings--that, ia.-faet,. «t may educate love. - 1 v ̂̂ ̂ Toft Oity, -are t*6gag* H T 1 I H I -- t a c M T i s g s h i r e , a n d atop at the €1 rated !TMU«m opposite Grand Central Depot 613 rooms, fitted up at a cost of one million dollars, tl aad apwfcttlg per day.

Immigration is one of the surest tests of the industrial condition of this coun­ try. it is large with prosperity, but decreases with hard.times, and, as it is still decreasing, it is evident that we are not yet entirely out of the woods, the era of depression which has pre­ vailed for soma years. The fiscal year ends with June tfQ. For the past year the number of immigrants was 3'2H,917, against 395*340 in 1U85, 51«,5!i2 in 1884, 603,392 in 1883, and 788,$>2 in 1882, the maximum reached. The mini­ mum was in 1878, when the shrinkage in values caused by the panic of 1873 ceased. The upward tendency of both general business and immigration be­ gan in 187y, and the progress upward was altogether unprecedented until 1882, when^here was a contrary move­ ment Since then the influx of immi­ grants has fallen off more than one- half. This deoline is a good criterion of cur industrial condition. Whenever the United States is flourishing, and labor is in demand and well paid, the millions of Europe crowd over here seeking employment; whenever there is overproduction here, and persons out of employment, this stream of immi­ gration dries up. While not a favorable sign, pres­ ent let-up in immigration will do the country no harm. The United States owes much of its prosperity to immi­ gration, but an excess of it endangers, or at least affects, American institu­ tions. The American people possess wonderful powers of assimilation in converting foreigners into good Ameri­ cans and republicans, but it has been evident for some time past that these powers of assimilation were being sorely tried, and that, with an immigration of nearly a million a year, the tendency of the country waa to drift more and more from the principles underlying our Constitution, and to take up an­ archism, socialism, and other foreign heresies. A decline in immigration so as to enable us to assimilate and Amer­ icanize those foreigners already with us will do no harm, but only strengthen and benefit the country.--New Orleans Times-Democrat. which have roboed you of the rosy hoe of health, and made life a bnrttaa toyen, TOU eaa e«4Ayget oat e£ Be Pieree'a "Favor, to 1're- , aenptfcon* wilt free you f on ail «eh troubles, 1 and aooa recall the roee-tmt of health yonr cheek, and tho elasticity to your tU p.

There are some animal doctors, but the dumb brutes are so wise in their own way, that, like a great many hu­ man beings, they get along better when they follow nature's teachings without the intervention of a physician. Some animals get rid of parasites by the use of dust, mud, or clay. Those suffering from fever restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek darkness and airy places, drink water, and sometimes plunge into it. If a dog loses his appetite, he eats "dog's grass." Sheep when ill seek out certa:n herbs, and puss, also, finds an emetic or a purgative in a cer­ tain species of grass or herbs. When a dog is constipated he eats fatty sub­ stances with avidity.
