SIDD Y]S ADYIC K.
I. WIIKN IT WAS CIV KN.
Yoi: could not find a more notable
woman in the fishermen's quarter of our
pretty seaside town than the wife of
Joel Sims. He might work hard in his
boat, but lie spent all his hours on short
in lounging about or sleeping, whereas
Siddy Sims was never idle.
The four fat little children who called
her mother were as rosy and healthy as
plenty of tubbing and wholesome food
could make them; and spiders avoided
the queerly-built tenement on the clifT
side, that might be known as Siddy
Sims' by the whiteness of the rough stone
at the door and the redness of the pots
of flowers that tilled the windows.
Yet, with all her occupations at home,
Siddy was sure to be one of the lirst on
the beach in the early morning, when
the boats came in; lirst to help sort the
fish; first to take her placc in the mar
ket, where her bright,smiling face and
civility attracted many a customer. And
who, when business was over there,
tramped away more undauntedly with
her basket, to sell her whiting and soles
at4he doors of the smart villas on the
outskirts of the town: coming home not
unfrequently to mend nets or make
creels; and if help in the sick-room were
needed, to take her turn at sitting up
as readily as if it were a pleasure instead
of a toil.
Siddy was the best of mothers, after
the rough fashion that thinks love may
be as truly expressed by a slap or shake
as a caress; but it is doubtful whether
her children were nearer to her heart
than a younger brother of Joel's, who
occupied her spare bed-room, and had
called her mother ever since she nursed
him through a dangerous illness.
That >Ted Sims had recovered at all
had been due?so said everybody?to her
untiring care; and now that he had de
veloixid into a great, broad-chested,
handsome young fellow, half a foot taller
than Joel, and endowed with three times
his industry and energy, Siddy was
rather apt to take all the credit to her
self, and to be proud of him accordingly.
She very often planned his future as she
sat making his new shirts or mending his
jacket. He was no drinker, thank
heaven! and so his savings were mount
ing up, and he would soon be able to buy
himself a share in one of the boats. And
then, he must marry. ''It would be
more 'spectable-like to have a wife tUan
to be sauntering about with first one lass
and then another."
Yetrit gave her a smart shock when,
instead of "keeping company" with some
girl ;'to the manner born," some fisher
man's daughter like herself, she met Ed
ward, flushed with pride and happiness,
of the b^st looking and
best dressed of the chambermaids at the
huge hotel lately erected at the top of
the cliff. 1
It was Sunday morning, and Siddy
coming out of the tiny fishermen's church
with her baby in her arms, stopped short
and frowned disapproval. Yet it would
be hard to say what fault could be
found with the pretty little creature who
listened to the young fisherman.
"Take my advice," said Siddy the fol
lowing day, "and break with her. She's
too fine a lady for you.''
"She don't think so,*' Ned retorted.
"She didn't show no airs nor graces, did
she, when she walked home with you
from the church, but praised your cold
pie, and talked to Joel as nice as nice ?
And didn't you see how the children
took to her?''
"An' kep' me in a fidgc to my fingers'
ends that they'd spoil her line clothes. If
she's going to walk with you. Kddard,
don't you let her wear no more o' them
fal-lals; it's waste o' money!*'
"I don't believe her brown gown," whs
the angry retort, "cost more than that
shawl of your'n, Siddy; and it's not half
as flaring."
After hurling this shaft Ned made his
escape, for he knew Siddy would not
find it easy to forgive a slighting remark
on the huge-patterned plaid which she
had hitherto worn in happy ignorance of
its ugliness.
But ere Ion# she had forgiven the
i. ? ,.e .....i

pretty Liz whenever she could find time
to visit the fishermen's quarter.
The season had not commenced
yet, and the huge, half-empty hotel was
so inexpressibly dreary that Li/, preferred
Biddy's homely kitchen, even though it
wao inconvieutly crowded when the
children came in from play; .Joel's burly
frame filled up the end nearest the fire,
and Ned took a boyish delight in getting
in the way of the busy wife and mother.
Not that Liz was always a grateful re
cipient of her lover's attentions. She
had her fits of willfulness, sometimes
evincing an irritability that would lead
to a quarrel. Then Ned would stalk out
of the house, refusing to hear tho re
morseful voice that entreated liis return;
and Liz either tied in another direction,
or when advised to keep her tongue
within her teeth in future, retorted with
the reproach that it was Siddy's fault;
she was always making misceief between
them.
"If it ain't enough to cut a body to the
heart to be told that!'' exclaimed the dis
comfited Siddy. "Don't you never marry
her, Eddard."
"I don't suppose she'll let me," replied
Ned, with a heavy sigh. The varying
moods of the girl were perplexing him
sorely. It was not like her to be so petu
lant. Had he loved her too well?
His gloomy airficttcd the woman who
loved him with a mother's love, till at
last she cried:
"Ha' done with it, lad ! You'd better
take the shillin' and be a soldier than
make yourself miserable for a chit of a
girl that ^in't worth it."
"Think so?" was all the response he
made, but he lounged away, and was not
forthcoming when Joel, his supper eaten,
went ofT to the beach. .
An hour afterward Siddy was watch
ing the fishingfieet.glide away toward the
oo+tirirp ohm ii'li/in enn f/iittwl T iv lwir
OUU, ?? 1AV.K r?UV/ IVUIIU JJI t* KJJ 1IU1
side, ghastly with agitation.
"Where's Ned?'' The girl's lips formed
the question more than uttered it.
"He's down town 'stead of where he
ought to be!" and Siddy indicated the
boats. "That's your doing!"
"No, no; I've been down the High
street," moaned Lb,, clutching at her
friend for support; "he's not there, lie
was seen at the railway station with the
recruiting sergeant. 1 le's uwav with him;
he's taken the shilling and <rone for a sol
dier!"
"And it was my advice that done it!"
As she spoke Siddy dropped on the
rough bench in the porch, and for a few
minutes she was too giddy to know what
else the equally unhappy Liz was saying.
II. THE RESULT,
Biddy shut her door against the well
meaning neighbors who would havc con
doled with her, and all the next day she
ought by working harder than ever to
irget the violence of the reproaches J
ith which she lmtl driven the weeping
iz from her presence.
Xcd a soldier! sent abroad not to 1
restlc with the elements?that was
u-tn's work?but to be cut. and hacked
y savages! And her eyes would turn,
gainst their will, to a wretched daub
pon the cottage wall?a picture of a
attic with the Zulus, in which half a
[?/.en hideous savages were hewing down
youug Englishman, who, to her excited
incy looked like Ned.
When the children hail been put to
ed this horrid picture kepthercompany,
II, uuablc to bear it any longer, she
ire it down :?iul thrust it into the tire. '
"Siddy!" It was Liz who had stolen ,
pon her, and with extended hands was i
esceching her forbearance.
"Oh! l>id me gooddn-kindly." moaned
lie girl, "for I am going away.*'
"What's that for?" asked Siddy, !
arshly.
"I was ill after I went, hack to my '
lace last night, and they sent for a doe
r?r, and?and?I haven't felt well ever
itiee I slipped olT the ladder when we
rere cleaning tin: paint.*'
"Goon," said Siddy. beginning to di
ine the reason of those tits <>i' irrita
bility that had often surprised her.
' The doctor says I have strained the
litscles <?f my side, and must have a 1
mg rest, and so 1 am no use here and '
inst make room for some one else.''
'And yon have no friends in London,
'vc heard von say so. Wlicre'll von
;???'
''The doctor has triven me a letter for
hospital. Oh, Siddy! say a kind word
o lighten my troubles, for they seem
lore than 1 can 'near!"
The strong arms of Siddy were thrown
onnd her, and there was silence, till,
shamed of her own emotion, the elder
iroman began making up the tire and '
mtting on the kettle.
"1 cannot stay," cried Liz. "I shall
use the train, and they will not keep me
,t the hotel another night." i
"We'll not ask them. You'll bide here.
i'ou'11 have Ned's room, and I'm goimr
i> nurse yon weli again."
So Liz, her heart heavy, her limbs
ching, submitted to be put to bed, and
liere wept herself into I'e.sig/jation. '
V'hen Ned wrote?oh! surely he would ,
.rite, and tell them where he Was!?she 1
ould let him know how penitent she J
. as; and though uneipial to hard work, ,
lie wasclcver with her needle, and could ,
nd plenty who would be willing to cm- .
loy her.
.Joel was away longer than usual, and
t the end of the week lie came home
ulky. To lose good chances as lie had
one all through being short-handed had
xasperated him, and he growled at his
rife, abused the missing Ned and looked
> black at the guest that she was fain
o keep out of his wav.
Siddy had much to cope with while
is ill humor lasted, but she bore it a>;
lie richly deserved punishment of her
asty advice.
In other rcspccts the world went
inoothly. The doctor called on Liz and
redicted her speedy recovery.
But nothing would'lift the load that
iv on Siddy's heart, and as she went
ionic down the clilT side with her empty
iaskct she felt weak and spiritless, for
he sight of Lizzie's pale face and the
ound of the heavy sighs the girl j
ireathed as she sat in the old arm-chair i
nth her sewing were continual re
conciles to her hostess.
Mechanically the sorrowing woman I
ooked toward the pretty land-locked !
lay lying below the rocky ledge on which
he was resting. The smack nf old Aaron
(ones, who had sailed away far beyond
vhcrc the other fishermen cast their nets,
tad just come to an anchor, and, borne
horeward by the flowing tide, came the
mack's boat with the first"installment of
inny treasures.
One of the rowers, catching sight of
>iddy, greeted her with a lusty cheer,
^he recognized him in a moment. It
vas Ned' The report of his having en
isted was a false one, invented by a half
ipsy idler, lie had sailed in the Won
ler, because in treaty wi'h the owner for
i share in his ventures, and the oppor
unity of talking over and clinching the
)argain was too good to be missed.
How Siddy laughed and cried in her
oy 110 one ever knew. She kept out of
ight till the lovers met and were recon
nled, and her first words to Ned were a
cproach for not wiping his boots
:leaner.
' If you two'U be said by me," she
old tlie young couple, "you'll get mar
led as soon as you can And that's
he last bit of advice 1 ever mean to
jive!''
But whether Siddy will keep this rc
ioIvc remains to be seen. ? CimxcWn

:N THE ITALIAN QUARTER.'
ITALY'S SONS AND DAUGHTERS IN
NEW YORK.
How llic Itcsitlciits llrcss, Act, l.ive
ami Work?Sitlvwalk lliickstt-rs?
Dissipmion mid Pleasure.
Nowhere else in the cosmopolitan life
>f New York city, can such grotesque
'utilities and picturesque, if sometimes
sorrowful, incidents l>e observed as those
tvhich exist in the Italian colony, It
mbraces the district lengthwise, from
Worth street to Spring, and crosswise it
extends from the cast side of Mott street
to the rear of the west side of Mulberry.
The colony comprises only the most ig
norant and the poorest of the children of
Italy, and within the territory named
there are not two dozen families of other
nationalities. Not many years ago a
liandful of Americans, and a sprinkling
.f Rimini"miis niiirlit havu been found in
tin* district, hut the steady influx of the
Neapolitans with their peculiar mode of
living, caused a line of demarcation to
Ik- drawn, and left that section iu their
possession. And the district is a faith
ful reproduction of uncultured Italian
life. Within the territory virile vice
keeps abreast of virtue, thick-lined pov
erty rears its gaunt head with infinite
wise above the modicum of moderate
wealth, and whichever way the eye may
glance characteristics startlinir, customs
fanciful, scenes outlandish may be ob
served. The people live within them
selves. They revel in their peculiar and
riotous fun, breathe the uncloistcrcd at
mosphere of friendly fellowship, and
earn a livelihood in a manner peculiar to
the Italian.
The women of the colony arc fantastic
mid diverse. They are fantastic as to
dress and diverse as to their habits and
modes of living. Some of them arc; slat
tern, coarse in their homeliness and clown
ish in their rusticity. Others avoid the
ground-swell of vice. They are cleanly
in their habits even if ignorant, and im
prove themselves cacli hour that passes
in the gradation and continuity of their
lives. Hut all arc picturesque. Kvcry
woman wears jewelry. l,on<r pieces of
Ljolcl of antique make hang from their
cars. No matter how poor the wonir.n
may be the pendants are there. Sonic of
them have bands of gold or silver 011
their wrists, ami here and there one may
l?e seen with a glittering careanet around
lier neck. The women wear low shoes
Ill UVCTV CilM*, aim m.Hj ^uiiiuno ihumk,
is a rule, out of fustian clotli. (icuerally
the upper portion of the costumes is worn
mailt ilia-wise over their heads. The ef
fect is never somber, for their dress is al
ivayi garnished with some llimsev j^ew
,'aw. Nearly every woman carries a baby
strapped to her back ami never seems
Jo be conscious of its existence. The
rest of the brood toddle along as best
they may.
But the male population must be from
the very dregs of Italian civilization. All
ire inelegant. Some are disfigured, oth
ers grisly and many cadaverous. Every
jne of them wears a still Derby Jiat.
l'his is the only article of dross in which
they are alike. Their habits are not.
cleanly. To wash their faces once a week
is the greatest punctilio the majority of
them observe. Their dress is fantastic,
too. Some of them wear clothes that
mice may have decked the persons of
European royalty; others add to their
appearance by wearing the cast-olT gar
ments of American dudes, and none of
them is the possessor of a brand new suit
i>f ciothcs. When not working or en
gaged in games they stand in groups and
jabber. Each one of them carries at his
waist a hook that aids him to dive into
barrels and ash heaps for many things of
value to nobody until made so by Italian
ingenuity. Some of these fellows are in
tensely jealous, some arc good-humored,
and some are habitually churlish.
But the most familiar feature of the
many to be observed in the colony are
the sidewalk hucksters. From AVorth to
Broome street booths litter the curb
stones. Behind them women and chil
dren are ensconced, but rarely, if ever men.
What do they sell? Everything that he or
she of the Italian colony may need in every
day life. Old ciothcs and hats are ped
dled from three or four booths, but the
traflic is mostly confined to articles of
food dear to the palate ot the Italian.
They live simply and find 011 the curb
stone stands the food which comprises
their daily meals. What do they eat?
Stale bread, decayed fruit, beans and old
vegetables of every variety. The beans
are the only sound commodity sold. The
bread is several days old and is pur
chased in the wee sma' hours for a mere
pittance from the bakeries. The oranges
are unripe and the bananas decayed. The
cabbages are rotten and the potatoes
worm-eaten. The hucksters buy the
miscellany for almost nothing, and all
day long they sell their wares to their
compatriots. A loaf or two of this stale
bread, a rancid orange, two bananas and
a gill of the prepared beans can be pur
chased for five cents, and a whole family
can subsist on ten cents' worth. If the
Italian has made a lucky strike or is feel
ing jubilant, he repairs to one of the four
restaurants in the colony, jind there he
can purchase from the following bill of
fare which is displayed conspicuously on
the outside:
Coffee Scents.
Coffee and bread .'{ "
Beefsteak and potato 5 "
Mutton chop ami eolFee < "
Macearoni 'i "
Puddings ;J "
Most of the sidewalk hucksters have
husbands working elsewhere, and conse
quently they save all the profits of their
sales. These people comprise the aris
tocracy of the colony, because they com
prise the major portion of the modicum
of wealth.
35ut living in this style and paying rent
only for one room for an entire family,
the Italian must save money. And so lie
rl<w.e Ttw.rn 11 ro 110 lo? tli;m three Imnks
in the Italian colony. The most preten
tions is the lianca dc italiana in Mul
berry street. The men put their sav
ings in this, and their pile is augmented
by driblets from their wives and chil
dren. But surely the reader may ask if
these men are able to save money on
their small wages, they would be con
tent to live better. No; they are willing
to drudge and starve, willing to subsist
on a crust, so that their ambition, the
great one of their lives, may be realized.
The poor Italian has but one object in
view and that is to get back to his na
tive land. It is to compass that object
that he slaves and starves. Every day
that goes by sees him nearer to the goal
of his ambition. If he feels the chill air
on a winter's night because of the lack
of an overcoat he consoles himself with
the knowledge that soon he will have
money to briny him tosunny Italy,where,
with iiis modest fortune, he can become
a tradesman or a farmer. When the
(Jaribaldiau has a gfuired $1,000 or $1,200
he sails with his wife for home. The
children are then old enough to take
care of themselves and they arc left to
do so.
These Neapolitans have their pleasures
and heir dissipations too. To be sure,
they do not go to the theatres, nor do
they study the rhythm of the waves upon
the seashore. I5ut they find surcease of
toil and sorrow in their liquor saloons.
These abound. They are vile places,
but they suit tiie customers. There they
dance the brisk rigadon, play cards for
stale beer, and after an evening's dissi
pation only spend ten cents. The beer
costs two cents a glass and is the drain
age collected from kegs. The cigars are
sold for the same price, and a vile com
pound called whisky may be purchased
for three cents. The men play cards for
the drinks, and only the victors quaff
the stutF. Sometimes they quarrel and
vile oaths tloat out into the atmosphere.
Sometimes they jest, but their wit never
reaches an Attic height and rarely gets
to the level of a banter. If some .lack
pudding comes along they entertain him
while he gets oil his gasconade, but
oaths are far more frequent than laughter.
And this is how they live. A hundred
families occupy a building and at least
one a room. In it they eat and live and
sleep and .sometimes die. The funerals
are inexpensive but affecting. The cof
fin is as rude and cheap as pine can be.
The hearse is simple also. When the
time for the funeral arrives the windows
in the vicinity are black with Italian hu
manity. The coffin is enclosed in the
hearse, a male member of the family sits
beside the driver, and the solitary pro
fession is readv to start. Then two or
three native musicians play a dirge upon
heir violin and harp, and when they

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
The possibility of obtaining illuminat

the droppings of cows and horses has
been demonstrated to the French Aca
demy of Sciences by M. (Jayot. The
process does not lessen the value of the

The best way to ascertain whether
Hour has been made from sprouted wheat
is to stir a sample up with water, filter,
and test with corallin solution, rendered
red with a trace of alkali. If the (lour is

be used. Litmus is less delicate in ob

More than 100 tons of human hair are

The Man in the Moon Heard Front.
At the astronomical observatory of
Herlln, says a translation from Xyn
I'rrsnen a discovery has lately
been made which, without doubt, will
cause the greatest sensation, not only
among the adepts in science, but even
among the most learned. Professor
lilendmann. in that city, has found, be
yond a doubt, that our old friend, the
moon, is not amcrc lantern which kindly
furnishes light for the loving youth and
gas companies of our planet, but the
abode of living, intelligent beings, for
which he is prepared to furnish proofs
most convincing.
This question has agitated humanity
from time immemorial, and has been the
object of the greatest interest, lint the
opinions have always differed very
widely, and no two minds held one and
the same. Already in ancient times the
belief prevailed that the moon was in
habited with some higher organized,
intelligent beings, somewhat resembling
man, and in order to communicate with
them the earthly enthusiasts planted
rows of trees several miles in length
so as to form the iigurc of the
Pythagorean theorem. The celebrated
astronomer, Schroder, in the beginning
of the present century, fancied that he
could detect places on the surface
of the moon which periodically grew*
lighter and darker, and from this fact
lie derived t lie conclusion that the phe
nomenon was a proof of existing vegeta
tion. During the last few decades, how
ever, the idea of life 011 the moon has
been held up to ridicule, and totally
scorned by men of learning. Hut never
theless, it has now been proved to be
correct.
By accident Doctor niendmann found
that the observations of the moon yavc
but very unsatisfactory results, owing to
the intensity of the light power of the
moon's atmosphere, which is that strong
that it alTects the correctness of the ob
servations in a very high degree, lie
then conceived the idea to make the ob
ject-glass of the refractor, less sensitive
to the rays of light, and for that pur
pose he darkened it with the smoke of
camphor. It took months of experi
menting before he succeeded in finding
his right degree of obscurity of the glass,
and when iinallv found lie then with the
refractor rook a very accurate photo of
the moon's surface. This he placcd in a
sun microscope, which gave the picture
a diameter of lifty-fivc and one-half feet.
The revelation was most startling. It
perfectly overturned all hitherto enter
tained ideas of the moon's surface. Those
level plains which formerly were held to
be oceans of water proved to be verdant
fields, and what formerly was considered
mountains turned out as deserts of sand
and oceans of water. Towns and habita
tions of all kinds were plainly discern
able, as well as signs of indnstry and
trallie. The learned professor's study
and observations of old Luna will be re
peated every full moon, when the sky
is elear, and we venture to predict that
the time is not far oil when when we
shall know more about the man in the
moon than as being an agent in English
politics
In a Japanese Hotel.
At daybreak I was awakened by an
unmistakable British voice crying aloud
for a towel. Looking out at the court
yard I saw a gentleman whom we had
passed on the road, standing hare
throated and dripping wet by a bucket
of water, in which he had been washing.'
lie had only at this critical moment dis
covered that the Japanese do not regard
the towel as an absolutely necessary ap
pendage to a toilet set. "Towel!"
roared the wet and angry Briton to
the trembling Japanese who stood
there ready and willing to go anywhere
and do anything, if he only knew
what. "Heich ?"' the Japanese said,
aimlessly hovering about. "Tow-el !
towel!" the Britisher roared, trying all
possible forms of accent nation in the
hope that one might strike a chord of
intelligence in the mind of this inelTably
stupid man. Tlu Japanese evidently
began to think that whatever might be
wanted, it would be safer for liiin to go
and look for it inside, and not be in a
hurry coming back. "Towel!"' the En
glishman roared again. "Ileieli!" said
the Japanese, and ran nimbly into the
house. Hut he did not come back again,
and the Englishman, after stamping
around, disappeared into his own room,
partially dried in the wind. 1 learned
from him later that he had had a good
deal of trouble from the unpardonable
and unaccountable ignorance of the
English language among the Japanese
in the interior. lie had walked for
fifty miles through glorious scenery,
heading for .Nikko?the only word he
could pronounce in the Japanese tongue
was Nikko? and by dint of repeating
this he got along moderately well. His
chief ditlicnltv was the matter of food.
Jlc lived ehiclly oil rice and tea, and
had arrived at a tca-housc on the pre
vious night half-famished. I fancy that
in the best of circumstances he was
naturally of an irascible temperament.
Hut after living on tea and rice for two
days to reach Nikko and find no towel
after he had trustfully washed himself
was, he admitted, more than he could
bear without protest.?Loulon uYum.
The Red Thread of Honor.
It is related of Sir Charles Napier's
campaign of the I'ppcr Scinde, that a
sergeant with eleven men became separ
ated from the rest of his command. An
officer signaled an order to return, but
they mistook the signal for a command
to charge. There were seventy of the foe
behind a breastwork at the summit of the
mountain. They fell there, these brave
eleven, after slaying twice their number.
There is, it. is said, a custom anions
the robber tribe which llicse brave men
fought, that when one of their great war
riors is killed in battle, they bind his
wrist with a thread either of red or green
?the red for the highest rank.
When the Uritish found the stark bod
ies of their eleven brave comrades, around
both wrists of each they saw the red
thread. These robbers and foes gave
the hero his own giory as best they
could.

A Cremation in India.
A Calcutta letter to the Omaha Herald
ins describes the cremation of Keshub
hiinder Sen: It was I o'clock in the
ternoon when tlie company of apostles
id mourners arranged themselves in
dcr, took up the flowery bedstead with
s precious burden and started for the
dilation ghaut in Nimtollah, a suburb
i the north, on the banks of the
ooghly. Many hundreds of grief
ricken people followed, their eyes
)\vncast, their feet without shoes, and
icir hair disheveled. There was much
llieulty at the outset to preserve order
id to form a line, as each was eager
have a glimpse of the benignant smile
hicli still played upon that beautiful
ce, though cold in death. The liouse
ps were full of gazing men and
omen, who freouently took up a chorus
piteous lament. Europeans, Mohatn
cdans and Hindus all conspired to
nder homage to the dead leader of the
;w dispensation.
It was just dusk as the earthly remains
id the flowery cot on which they re
ised were laid upon a pile of sandal
ood. The hand rested upon the heart,
itside the winding sheet. As t he body
y upon the pyre, the vast assemblage
outed: "As tlie true, the intelligent
e infinite, and the blissful, lie mani
sts himself. He is the peaceful and
era fill CJod. He is one without a
pond. He is holy and sinless,"
The chief mourner, Kuruna C'hunder
n, the eldest sou of the deceased, then
oka torch in his right hand and ap
ied it to the pyre, saying: "In the
me of (Jud I apply this holy lire to the
-t remains of the deceased. The nior
I shall burn away and perish, but the
imortal shall live. Oh, Lord, the do
ited soul is rejoicing in Thee, in Thy
issful abode." As the body began to
irn, the multitude again chanted lves
ib's favorite anthem: "(Ilory be unto

nirs, and at a <|uartcr past 11 o'clock
i' ashes were collected in an urn, ami

Oddities of Paris Horse Cars.
An amusins* feature of l'aris to a for
eigncr is the horse cars. The appearance
of the car-driver and the conductor would
almost assure one that they had been im
ported from America; but certain rules
to be observed in running the cars very
quickly remind him that he is in France.
Tne cars arc allowed to carry onlj a cer
tain number of passengers?ten standing
on the front platform, ten on the rear
platform, and as many in the car as arc
allowed to have seats. Those inside pay
fifty centimes (ten cents), and those out'
side twenty-five centimes. When a car
lifts its complement the gates are shut, a
sign is hung out reading "camplet,"
and no one can enter. During the busy
time of the day, between 5 and (J o'clock,
when crowds arc waiting for a car, it is
necessary to apply at the ollice for a
numbered ticket.
For instance, say you applied and re
ceived No. 21. You wait for a car, and
the driver, when ready, commences to
c all une, deux, trois and so on until he
reaches your number, when you must be
ready to enter; if not you must pro
cure another tickct and wait your
turn again. Ths system has its advan
tages as well as its disadvantages, and
the French think it a great thing; but
the amusing part of it to foreigners is
the calling of the numbers, and, unless
one is pretty well up in French, lie is
very apt to get left and has to go and
get another.
Instead of ringing a^bcll like our con
ductor they use a kind of horn, which ia
attached to the dashboard and blown In
a rubber ball which the driver presses.
The sound, which is not unlike that of a
cow-horn, can be heard distinctly for a
block. It is not objectionable unless the
instrument happens to be out of order,
and then it is very unmusical. The cars
arc a great convenience, and are verj
liberally patronized. One sees in them
the economy of the French people as n
class, very finely dressed ladies standing
on the platform to save five cents. Econ
omy is observable everywhere in France,
and there is much truth in the aphorisir
that ''the people could live on what tlu
Americans waste."?Chicago Tribune.
Chinese Love for (Jooil Victuals.
The Chinese, it must be confessed, ari
a gormandizing people. In spite of tlief
Buddhist professions, in spite of tlious
ands of Buddhist tracts enjoining vege
tarianism, fasting and mortification o
t.b#> flesh as the onlv road to the Wcstcri
paradise, the heathen Chinee will jiave t<
take his place among that depraved clas:
"whosegod is their stomach." Thcnnra
ber of fat, oily priests one sees in tnonas
teries convinces the visitor that their die
is regulated by anything but I'ythagoreai
principles. Their very deities are sadl;
inclined to corpulency, while their pe
image of the Buddha in a merry mood i
one undulating mass of obesity, as hi
j lounges on his pedestal. There is no ob
ject upon which a Chinaman's eyes res
with so much ple.asure as upon soim
well-fed, beefy-faced, barrel-bodied Fall

to embonpoint meets an old ac
<]iiaintance he is greeted wit!
the compliment : "Why, hov
your blessedness is increasing!" Tin
dea being that fatness is the outwan
and visible sign of inward happiness anc
contentment; while leanness is alwav:
associated with worry, care and sorrow
According to Chinese phrenologists tin
intestines are the seat of the mind ant
affections, and it is a very common joki
on meeting a stout Chinaman of Pick
wickian proportions for a foreigner to sai
to his companion: "What a line intcllec
that man ha.*> got!" In a land when
adipose tissue is a mark of beauty it ii
almost superfluous to say that eating i:
the all important business. If you wan
to say: "How do you do?" to a China
man, the only way is to ask him if hi
has eaten his rice yet. Follow behind i
company of Chinese walking along tin
street and listen to their conversation
and you will iiud that, if it is not aboui
money, it will be about food and drink,

Fisli in the Bosphorus.
Dr. Neale, who witnessed the pcriodi
; cal passage of fish through the Bospho
rus. thus describes the scene:
"The wind continuing for two or
three days from the north, wc wore sur
i prised at beholding a singular rippling
appearance in the midst of the waters of
the Bosphorus. forming a dark serpentine
line about a mile aud a half in length.
| Over and all around this rippling were
assembled a prodigious concourse of
aquatic fowls, swans, cormorants, peh
s cans, penguins, solan geese, ducks,
r quails, divers, etc., which shrieked in
i hoarse concert as they dived upon the
i myriads of pelamydes (for such they
- were) which iloated down in mid-chan
! nel. While we were beholding this sin
gular phenomenon from the windows of
1 the palace, the boats from Coustantino
; pie and the adjoining villages began to
arrive, and then commenced that ancient
fishery which has been so much celebrated
in the golden verses of Oppian.
"But to return; this shoal proved only
2 the advanced euard of the grand army of
[ pelamydes, which were coming down
from the Palus Mieotis, terrified by the
first approach of the bleak-northern blasts
f and equinoctial gales.
1 "Before mid-day. some hundred boats
' having arrived, the numbers of fish cap
5 tured'were prodigious. The boats were
- navigated by Turks, Albanians,_ and
Greeks, habited in the diversified and
t richly colored costumes of their respec
i tivc nations, throwing their seines, and
f pulling against the rapid current, bawl
L in", shouting, and wrangling for the
? prize, which they were even forced to
0 contest with the fowls of the air, who
- intrepidly descended to seize the hsh
' when struggling amidst the meshes of
C their nets. They gave a life and anima
- tion to the picture, which, surrounded
1 by the sublime scenery of the Bosphorus,
- constituted, as a whole, one of the
1 most superb and impressive spectacles I
f had ever beheld. This occupation con
3 tinned, without ceasing, day and night,
1 till the fourth morning, when the last of
1 the shoal passed Terapia. Palamys is
the term given by the ancients to the
young tunny when under a year old.
The tunny is the same with the Spanish
1 mackerel, a large fish of the scomber
- kind, the scomber thynnus of Linnieus,
- the arcynus limosa, and pelamys, of other
! writers. It has eight or nine fins in the
t hinder part of the back, which, as well
3 us the abdominal fins, rise from a deep
3 furrow. The t?il is of :i semi-lunar
* shape.
t "The tunny was a fish well-known
- and highly prized by the ancients, hav
' ing constituted from the earliest ages, a
1 great source of riches and commerce to
5 nations inhabiting the shores of the
i Mediterranean, and, iu fact, being the
t principal food of the people of Bithynia.
The periods of its arrival in the Mcditcr
raticnn sea were observed and stations
" for taking the fish were established on
' the capes and inlets most favorable to
that occupation."
Blood Food For Animals.
The use of blood as a food for cattle
, has been recently the subject of experi
ment in Denmark by a ch-imist named
- Sofus Ove Cj.er, of ltibc, who as a result
has invented and patented a new kind of
cake, in which blood ' forms one of the
chief ingredients. This new food is
stated to be exceedingly nutritious and
wholesome, and eaten with avidity by all
sorts of animals, and even by cows and
horses, which have naturally a strong
dislike to the smell of blood. The com
position and process of manufacture are
as follows: The blood is first deprived
of its fabrinc, to effect which immedi
ately it issues from the slaughtered ani
mal it is treated in an apparatus like a
churn, and subjected to agitation and
cooling. To each 100 pounds of blood
so treated, the albumen of about twenty
five pounds of blood is added. This
quantity of bloo 1 compound, or more ii
it will be taken up, is then mixed with
fifty pounds of meal, fifty pounds of straw
or hay, two pounds of crushed linseed,
two pounds of the finest bone meal, and
one pound of salt, the whole being knead
ed together and made into a dough,
which is divided into cakes and baked in
an oven, the heat of which must be but
slightly above 21- degrees, because the
albuminous parts lose their nutritious
value at higher temperatures. The straw
or hay serves to make up bulk and to
give tiie required lightness and porosity,
as no fermenting material is used, lest the
bread should not keep so well. ? C/ilonj

Flaying Possum.
At Monte Carlo it is the custom to till
the pockets of suicides with banknotes,
so that it may be seen that they did not
I kill themselves on account of losses. A
I reient letter from there relates how a
! presumably dead man succeeded in tret
ting his pockets tilled a short time ago.
After losing si small sum at the gambling
tables lie suddenly jumped up, excla m
ed, ' 1 am ruined!" and rushed into the
gardens. Almost immediately afterward
the guards heard a pistol-shot and then
a cry of pain, and, rushing to the spot,
found tin; man dead. It was dark, with
no one around, so they filled his pockets
with money and left him to be discov
ered in the morning. They had scarcely
gone out of sight, however, before the
man was on his feet again, and skipping
away in the most lively style.
HER SECRET TROUBLES.
Tlin Unknown Trial* Which a Woman En
dared Without Complaint?Why They
Vanished.
Near the close of one of the moet trying of
the few hot days of the present year a pale,
caro-worn woman might have been seen at
the window of her dwelling apparently in a j
condition of complete exhaustion. Her ef- ;
forts to meet tne accumulated dutiee of j
her household had been great but unsuc- !
cessful, while the care of a sick child, whose j
wails could even then be heard, was added to j
her otherwise overwhelming troubles.
Nature had done much for her and in her j
youthful duys she had been not only beautiful j
- ? A. XI ?V^olfVi crnoV) aa -la flAldom I
I JUL Lilts UUSJCVMn ul ucaivu uuuu w *? ?
seen. But homo and family duties and the
depressing cares which too often accompany
them had proven greater than her splendid
strength and she felt at that moment not only
that life was a burden but that death would
bo a grand relief. This in no unusual expe
rience. It is, in fact, a most common every
day occurrence, and a great prayer is con- !
stantlv ascending from thousands of homes !
for deliverance from the deadly power which is i
enslaving so many wives, mothers and daugh- j
ters. And yet these duties of life must be met I
No woman can afford to turn aside from the j
proper care of her home and the ones who are j
committed to her care, although in doing >
these duties she may sacrifice her health, and
possibly life itself. The experience of one j
who successfully overcame such trials and yet I
retained health and all the blessings it brings I
is thus told by Rev. William Watson, presid- |
ing elder of the Methodist Episcopal church, j
residing at Watertown, N. Y. He said:
"My wife became completely run down !
through overwork and care of a sick member j
of our household, and I entertained serious j
apprehensions as to her future. She was lan- j
grnd, pale, utterly exhausted, without appe
tite, and in a complete state of physical de- 1
cline. And yet she did not, could not neglect !
her duties. I have seen her about the house, try
ing courageously to care for the ones she loved,
when I could tell, from the lines upon her
face how much she was suffering. At times
she would rally for a day or two and then fall
back into the state of nervous exhaustion she
felt before. Her head pained her frequently,
her body was becoming bowed by pain anil
all hope or enjoyment in life seemed departed.
What to do we could not tell. I resolved,how
ever, to bring back her life and vitality if
possible and to this end began fo treat her my
self. To my great relief her system has
been toned up, her strength restored, her
health completely recovered, and wholly by
tho use of Warner's Tippecanco, which I
regard as tho greatest tonic, invigorator
and stomach remedy that has ever been
discovered. I was led to use it the more
readily as I had tested the health-re
storing properties of "Warner's Safe Cure
in my own person, and I therefore knew that
any remedy Mr. Warner might produce would
bo a valuable one. I have since recommended
both Warner's Tippecanoe and Warner's Safe
Cure to many of my friends, and I know
several doctors of divinity as well as numer
ous laymen who are using both with great
benefit."
If all tho overworked and duty driven wo
men of America could know of the experience
above described, and act upon the same, there
can be little doubt that much of the pain, and
most of tho depressing influences of life might
be nvoifieci. aucn truuis are 100 vaiuauie 10

Peter Lawlor, ofDalton, Mass., had led a miserable
life for that period through the presence of stono In
the bladder. That he sought in all directions for a
cure is an almost superfluous statement. Ho did ob
tain temporary relief, bnt nothing more. "Last Janu
ary he called on Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N.
