BadafJag* rf HJ» amm. mm* Owe DM en Itea. , Old Uncle Eb Thomas, who flour­ ished in Turner, just on the edge of Hartford, Conn., about twenty-five years ago, was a quaint old schoolman ter. In his palmy days Uncle El> "was reckoned one * of - the foremost school­ masters of Maine. He made the most snliar and original use of the King's ;lish in ordinary conversation, yet at the same time was a noted professor of grammar. He could teach grammar in school, but out of school he was hardly ever known to speak a grammat­ ical sentence. One day this pedagogne ^ras talking with a stranger about popu­ lar education. He intimated that he was a district schoolteacher, and finall}* the gentleman inquired, in a compli­ mentary sort of way, if he really was in the habit of instructing the Maine youth. "Constructing chaps?" said Uncle Eb, "I should say so I did. I have always teached ecnool^and a very dia­ bolical school, too. This very afternoon X am going to put on my clarionet -platoons (meaning satinet pantaloons), and shall go down and get reprobated (meaning recommended.) Depend upon H, I shall keep a very diabolical school if I get reprobated." „ The fact was that Uncle Eb's school *»8 always one of the best disciplined in Androscoggin County. At one time he made a good deal of talk about building a house in Turner, and in it he was going to have "twenty-four double- spangled doors and the corn-house boards garnished." One winter his wife was taken suddenly ill, and Uncle Eb rushed to the doctor and said: "Doctor, my wife is irrecoverably sick, and I want you to make haste with all possible delay, for I expect that iii her case every moment will be her next On one occasion, during the halcyon 3ays of his sclioolmastersliip, a little trouble was brewing in Uncle Sam's navy, and news came to the edge of Hartford that there were some fears of on insurrection. Uncle Eb refused to pay his poll-tax on account of these rumors, and, said he, "I am going to spend my money to support the navery, and to put down the resurrec­ tion." The greatest Maine-born grammarian once lived at llumford, just above the great rocks where the water pitches over Rumford Falls. He is said to have never written or spoken a sentence after he was fifteen years old which was not grammatically correct. He died about twelve years ago. Many people in Rumford well recollect Thomas Irish, the old-fashioned teacher in an­ cient district school-houses. Some time before his death, Brown, the author of Brown's celebrated grammar, spent several day with this great llum­ ford scholar, listening to the roar of Rumford's Falls, and absorbing gram­ marian Irish's fine points. In one edi­ tion of Brown's "grammar can be found foot notes on difficult constructions, etc., edited by Thomas Irish, of Rumford. Like many men of genius, he was a "pe­ culiar chap," as they say. If he met you on the street in a dry time of year, he invariably said: "The sounding of the grinding is low. The pitcher may as well be broken at the fountain." He always had a peculiar dislike for doctors and drugs, and rarely oould be persuaded to take the mildest kind of medicine when he was on the sick bed. Several years before his death he experienced a very severe ill­ ness. The doctors told him that his life depended on his keeping quiet in bed for at least a month. Mr. Irish fretted about his potatoes and turnips on a sick bed for about a week, when one • day, as the physician called, the patient was not to be found. They hunted high and low, and finally found the grammarian hoeing potatoes in the field in his night-robe. He was finally pre­ vailed upon to go back to bed and take a sweat, but he positively refused to see the doctor again. : And when the man with the medicine chest stepped into his room to ask if he were comfortable, he thus saluted him: "No more of your nauseating, filthy drugs, sir. If I rally it will be from the bounties of my well-spread table." He partially recovered from his illness, and one day, meeting the old doctor on the street, told him that it was no use, he was worn out, and it was time to pass in his checks. The doctor cheered him np as best he oould, and said: "Oh, no, Tom; you're good for two years yet." • *'Do you think so?" asked Mr. Irish. "I certainly do," replied the doctor. "Well, then, I suppose you're right, and ril do as you say," said Thomas Irish, and he drove off whistling "Yankee Doodle." Exactly two years from that day he lay on his deathbed, and, looking into his physician's face, said: "You gave me a two-years' life lease after I thought I had given the old ship up, and I've taken it. The two years are, ended to-day, and I can't stay any longer." And thus this eccentric man died. Adventure with a Tiger. As we walked along through the jun­ gle, says a writer in Chamber's Jour- •nal, I failed to keep up with the other members of the party, who had got on some distance ahead, when I heard a rnstle in the underwood, and almost at the same moment an enormous tiger presented himself and prepared to spring upon me. I had never seen a more magnificent beast, and I could not help admiring him, notwithstanding the danger of my position. But there was no time to be lost. I immediately presented my rifle and fired. As ill luck would have it, neither shot struck; and in another second the tiger was upon me and had thrown me down, his claws buried in my left shoulder. I had no particular sensa­ tion of fear, and I remember thinking auite calmly as I lay on the ground, lie tiger's hot breath coming against my face: "It's all np with me now." But at that moment my faithful little Mungo came to the rescue; he bit the . tiger's tail so severely that the beast immediately released his hold and turned round to seize its new adversary. , But Mungo, as sharp and wary as he was plucky, was off in the tall grass in IU1 instant. The tiger followed, but the dog had the advantage over him, as it oould run through the grass and under the brushwood at a pace which the other could not keep up with. In fact, it was almost comical to see how the great creature bounded about in its useless chase after the dog. But I knew that the tiger, disap­ pointed of seizing Mungo, would soon be back again to attack his master, so I reloaded my gun and stood awaiting his return. In a short time he was before me once more, and I again leveled mv grin as well as I could, considering the pun in my left shoulder. The first shot missed, but the second struck the tiger jo the shoulder, crippled him, and made nil abbat m agony. Reloading as rapidly 4s possible. I went hearer to him, aimed very deliberately, and this time gave him liis quietus. Scarcely had I done so before Mungo came bounding up to me, looking into my face, whining as if with joy at s^pgg me safe. , Proud of His Daw Ijeff*. It is seldom that you find a bow- legged man who is proad of the distinc­ tion, but there is such a one in Helena in the person of County Treasurer Baldwin. His legs are bent outward very perceptibly at the knees, and in order to make them appear to good ad­ vantage he has his pants cut in a peculiar fanhion--close fitting and showing his shape to excellent advantage. If one will notice him g,ing down Brtiadway seme dt^v, putting on the brakes, so to speak, to avoid running away with him- se?f,- one cannot help being imposed with the superb symmetry of his limbs, and the striking contour of the inside of his knees, where the bow occurs. His friends have on various occasions argued with him in the attempt to convince him that he ought to wear "baggy" pants, so as to conceal the bulge of his knees. But he has resolutely stood out against theqi, and no amount of per­ suasion has had the slightest effect upon him. ' Mr. Baldwin demonstrated his loyalty to his legs some time ago, when he went to Weinstein, the tailor, to have his measure taken for a pair of pants. Weinstein knew him to be a good cus­ tomer, and he realized that it was to his interest to cater for his patronage. After the cloth had been selected Baldwin was mounted upon the box, and, after a preliminary wave of the tape and upward hitches of the panta­ loons, the oily knight of the goose, with a pompous, but courtly air, asked: "How will you have them cut, sir?" "I'd rather leave that to your judg­ ment," replied Baldwin, "but I dont want them very large in the legs." The tailor eyed him suspiciously and appeared somewhat disconcerted. He walked around him two or three times, and rubbed his hand up and down Baldwin's left leg. . "Don't you think, sir," (in a stammer­ ing sort of tone) "that they'd look bet­ ter on you if tliev were a trifle loose ?" "It doesn't strike me that way," said Baldwin, becoming somewhat impa­ tient. * •"But, sir," remarked the tailor, shuffling his feet and looking as if he wanted to say something, but was afraid to do so. "I'm--afraid--they wouldn't--suit you, sir!" "Oh, that's all right," replied Bald win. "I'm easily pleased." "Well, but--Mr. Baldwin--do you-- want 'em so--as they'll--(lis--appear?" asked .the agitated tailor. " So as they'll what ?" "So as they'll dis--disappear." "So as they'll disappear; I dont un­ derstand you." _ "That's what--I said, sir. I mean, sir--do you want 'em to disappear?" pointing at Baldwin's legs at the knees. "Oh, do you mean my bow legs?" "Yes, sir," eagerly replied Weinstein. "Shall I make them so the bow won't show ?" • "Heavens, man, no," yelled Baldwin. Weinstein bounded back in wonder and astonishment. "Not by a long shot," said Baldwin, with a gleam of determination. "Con­ ceal my bow legs! I'll give you to un­ derstand I am proud of 'em! There are not many of us in Montana. My bow legs are the red feather in my cap! Make the pants to order." And they were built after Mr. Bald­ win's special diagram. But Weinstein was awfully put out about it and has often remarked since that Baldwin's ar­ tistic taste was not just what it should be.--Helena Independent. Attorney General Garland's- Favorite Books. Attorney General Garland was con­ ning a well-worn oopy of" Justinians' Civil Law" as I entered his large, somber office in the department of just­ ice building. "I always try to read some law every day as a matter of choice," he said. "I select a subject quite distinct from the subjects that have demanded official thought during the day. I read "Robinson Crusoe" be­ fore I was 10 years old, and the delight that it gave me then has never left me. The 'Vicar of Wakefield' is another prime favorite of mine. In the simple style of narrative I think that Dickens has never been excelled, and I would characterize a great deal of Bulwer's writing as perfectly grand. In the line of fiction 'Ten Thousand a Year' is the greatest book ever written. I read it once a year, and each re-reading con­ firms my belief that it is a master-piece. 'Legal Ethics,' by the same author, is also very strong. In miscellaneous reading i consider Combe's 'Constitu­ tion of Man' and Buckle's writings a library inHhemselves. The latter's fame rests on his 'Civilization,' but his posthumous works in three volumes show the same great mind. They con­ tain four magnificent essays, and his 'Notes' on every conceivable subject are brilliantly learned and clever. On my vacation I select historical and philo­ sophical works, and I read a great many hours a day. To current literature I do not devote much time. If an intelligent friend tells me that some recently pub­ lished book is strong and good I get it. I rarely take up a book haphazard. I frequently stroll into the local book­ shops and look over the counters, but one glance at the title usually satisfies me. Of the American poets I do not think that George D. Prentiss has been justly appreciated or placed in his proper niche. I do not think that Byron or Moore ever wrote more grandly than Prentiss did in his 'Closing Year.'" --Washington letter. Banking Under Spirit Guidance. A wealthy banker in an interior city of Wisconsin is a spiritualist, and claims to be directed in the management of his financial affairs by the spirit of his father, who died a number of years ago. The spirit of the dead man, it is asserted by the son, has advised every important investment he has made since the death of the old gentleman, and has success­ fully engineered several very large business transactions. The son keeps an open account with his father, placing the funds at the old gentleman's credit as he may direct, and at stated times rendering an aoeount of receipts, dis­ bursements, and balance. The banker's belief is well known in the town where he lives, and an attempt was made by a party of roughs some time ago to rob him through his spiritualistic faith, but it was unsuccessful, the banker having a revolver handy, which he used with effect.--Chicago Herald.

Rapid Growth «r th« Vast Steal-Pen dastry--IatoirMtiag Statistics. [New Yotfc Hail.] "Every year the citizens of the United States wear out about 130,000,000 steel pens," said a prominent manufacturer. "Twenty years ago most of the steel pens used in this country were imported. Now comparatively few are imported, and there are several factories in country in which they are made in large quantities. At present the importation of foreign pens is mainly confined to the high-priced articles. It was first doubted that steel pens could be made in this pountry, but it was soon learned that the requisite skilled labor oould be obtained for high wages, and the suc­ cess of the pioneers led one manufac­ turer after another into the business, until now the field is pretty well occu­ pied. Most of the work on these little instruments is done with the aid of fine machinery worked by women and girls. The steel used is imported, because it is believed that the quality is more uni­ form than the American steel. This uniformity of quality is necessary be­ cause of the delicate tempering required in the manufacture of the pens. That mysterious quality of steel which gives different colors is a quality that re­ quires expert manipulation on the part of the workman who does the temper­ ing. He must know the nature of the material with which he works, and with that knowledge he must exercise a ce­ lerity and skill that seize upon the proper instant to fasten the steel at a heat which insures the requisite quality. "First the steel is rolled into large sheet#. These are cut into strips about three inches wide. These strips are an­ nealed--that is. they are heated to a red heat, and permitted to cool gradually, so that the brittleness is all removed, and the steel is soft enough to be easily worked. Then the strips are again rolled to the required thickness. It is the quick eye for color and the quick hand that fastens it that constitute the skill to determine the temper of the steel. When the steel is heated for tempering it is bright. The first color that appears is a straw color. This changes rapidly to a blue. The elas­ ticity of the metal varies with the color, and is arrested at any point by instantly plunging in cold water. The processes of slitting, polishing, pointing, and fin­ ishing the pens are operations requiring dexterity, but by long practice the workmen and workwomen become very expert. There have been few changes of late years, and the process of manu­ facture is much the same as it was twenty years ago, and the prices are rather uniform, ranging from 25 cents to $4 per gross, according to the quality of finish. The boxes sold generally con­ tain a gros^. The best now in the mar ket are of American make. Writers who buy foreign pens at fancy prices find them far inferior in durability to the American article. Persons who write continuously will wear out a good steel pen m two days." The "Song or the Shirt." The number of women in this city who earn their living by the needle is diffi­ cult to ascertain. There are hundreds of establishments on all the business streets where sewing is either done or given out to be done. A reporter foi the Mail and Express reoently asked two sewing girls what sort of living thev made. "How much are you paid for making those garments^" asked the reporter. "Twenty-five cents apiece." "How long does it take you 'lS^ ittake a garment?" TTsJo very well if I make four a day," saidoEife .. "But it takes more than ten hours to make four, work as hard as you will,* rejoined the other. The garment referred to were thick woolen jackets. They were wadded, lined with alpaca, and had the appear­ ance of a garment made by an adept. The sewing-machine did most of the straight work, but the button-holes, putting in the lining, and other work had to be done by hand. The seams had been pressed, the threads picked off, and the garments were neatly folded and all ready to be sold. Wages for the making of underwear, and indeed for all gentlemen's apparel, have dropped considerably during the past few years. The pay of the girls who make up the smaller articles, such as gloves and neckties, does not average more than $5 a week. Many have to be content with less, and $6 is considered good pay nowadays. Most of the work is done by piece. Men's drawers are made complete for 50 c^tg, a dozen pairs. For the hickory shirts that lab. ring men wear, made of striped blue, Ab cents a dozen pairs is all that is^ paw. Overalls are made complete fopPSy cents a dozen. Striped calico and white shirts are made for 65 cents a dozen. -The forewoman fixes the price and sees that the work is satisfactorily done. If it is not good it is not paid for. Fore­ women's wages vary from $15 to $20 a week. A button counter gets $9 a week during the busy season, and $6 during the slack time. When the new slflpts come from the laundry she counts the buttons to see that none are missing, folds the shirts and puts them in boxes. There is a general rule in factories that those who work there are fined for be­ ing late; 5 cents if they earn $5 a week and 10 cents if they earn $10.--Netv York Mail and Express. He Stuck to the Same Tune. Mike Lucy was the name of a jovial Irishman who used to live in St. Louis and who carried on what he called an "express delivery business." He had an anatomical outline of a horse and a rickety spring wagon, and he was in the habit of saying very amusing things. For the latter reason I frequently sought his company and rode with him on his express wagon. One day we were driv­ ing over the boulders on the levee, and I mentioned the fact that the jolting was severe. " Yis," Mike replied," that harse is a foine harse for haulin' coal and the loike o' that, but he's no harse for a spring woggin'." And to look at the protruding bones of that horse, which would have answered excellently for a hat-rack, one could not help but think it was the horse that made the wagon jolt. One morning I asked Mike what he had been doing the night before. He said: "Misther Hoolihan gave a party, an' I was there. Me fadther and me mother they were there, and blind Casey, the fiddler, he was there. They had peanuts an' pickles an' all the deli­ cacies of the season there, an' somebody gave blind Casey a bowl of starch an' he swalleyed that, an' I tlii ik that's phwat made the ould fool stlil ;k to the same tchune the whole avenin', an' that's phwat he did."--Arkamtaw Traveler.

Mocatta in • his recent in­ teresting lecture on Judaism estimated the total number of Jews throughout the world as between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000. In the United Kingdom there are about 100,000, of whom seven- tenths are in London, the great part of the remainder being in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham. Scotland reckons only 1,500, Ireland only 1,000. In the British colonies there are something less than 20,000. In France there are 70,000, of whom 40,000 are in Paris. About 40,000 were transferred upon the annexation of the provinces to the German Em­ pire, among whose 50,000,000 of in­ habitants 600,000 belong to this re­ markable race. Jews are found in large numbers along the northern coasts of Africa, as well as in Abyssinia. In America there are 500,(KJ0, and Jews are dwelling in Mexico and in almost every State of South America. There are supposed to be from 40,000 to 50,- 000 in Persia, 10,000 to 15,000 in the Khanates, and a like number in India. Switzerland, Belgium and Holland have also considerable Jewish popula­ tion. The influx of Jews into Pales­ tine from other parts of the Turkish dominions and also from Poland, Rus­ sia and Central Europe, i which has been going on from the early part of the present centnry, is a noteworthy fact. The Turkish Government is de­ scribed as showing an entire toleration, but it is not now favorable to au immi­ gration into Palestine, a circumstance attributed to fear of the inroad of Euro­ pean ideas. The state of the Jew in the Holy Land is, according to this authority, not a happy one. There is but little outlet for their energies. A large number give themselves entirely up to Hebrew studies, while th.'lmlk of them eke out a miserable livelihood by small industries, apparently aided but in reality intensified in pauperism by the pernicious system of "Halukah." or distribution of alms sent from v.;ri ous contries, which are doled out among the Jewish population in small sums.

PIutatMM TESTIMONIALS WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE. | My daughter Maud has used Hibbard's Rheu­ matic Syrup and Plasters, which you so strongly rccotnmcnded her to try for inflammatory rheuma­ tism. Her limbs wcrc badly swollen, and the poor girl was in terrible agony. In Uie midst of the pain we wound the Plasters about her limbs, and, as a result the swelling was reduced and she became ^uiel and rested. The syrup corrected her indiffes- Uun, cleansed the rheorustic potsun from her blood, and she is now able to be around the house. Hib­ bard's Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters are remedies of freat merit.

CATARRH IN THE HEAD. 81 nPTORU OF THE DHEASE.-Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passaires, discharges falling from the bead into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody aud putrid; tbe eyes are weak: there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive mat­ ter, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and has a nasal twang"; the breath is offensive: smell and taste Impaired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depres­ sion, a hacking cough and general debility. Only a few of the •bove-nnmed symptoms are likely to be present in any one case. Thousands of eases annually, without manifesting half of the above symptopis, result in consumption, and end in the grave. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, less understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physicians. If you wouM remove an evil, ttrOce ett its root. As the predisposing or real cause of catarrh is, in the majority of cases, some weakness, impurity, or otherwise faulty condition of the system, in attempting to cure the disease our chief aim must be directed to the removal of that cause. The more we see of this odious disease, and we treat successfully thousands of cases an­ nually at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, the more do we realize the importance of combining with the use of a local, soothing and healing application, a thorotigh and pertitUtU inter* nal use of blood-cleansing and tonic medicines. In curing catarrh and all the various diseases with which it is so frequently complicated, as throat, bronchial, and lung diseases, weak stomach, ca­ tarrhal deafness, weak or inflamed eyes, impure blood, scrofulous and other taints, the wonder­ ful powers and virtues of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med­ ical Discovery cannot be too strongly extolled. It has a specific fcorraioiiT, BP.] effect upon the lining mucous membranes of th» nasal ud otksr> air-passages, proaeUng the natural secretion of their foUleteaand glands, thereby softening the diseased and thickened and restoring It to its natural, thin, delioate. moiit, " ditloa. As a blood-purifier, it is unsurpassed. As it which complicate catarrh are diseases of the fining muoous 1 braaes, or of tbe blood.
