Daily living seemeth weary

To the one who duty shirks.
Only after hardest striving
Cometh sweet and perfect rest;
Life is found to bo worth living

jri.es vehsk's i.atest fantasy.
The risincr {rale whistles. The rain
comes dcwn in torrents. Low sway the I
trees tin ler the blast that sweeps the
Volsiniun shore, and dashes its fury
against the slopes of the mountains of
Crimma. The rock bound coast is rent
and riven by the tempestuous billows
that surge and foam along the vast Meg
alocrida sea.
In the depth of the bay nestles the
little seaport town of Luktrop. It boasts
a few hundred houses with greenish mi
radors sheltering them from the winds of I
the main, and four or five steep streets
that look more like the beds of a mountain
torrent than public thoroughfares.
Not far olT smokes the Yanylor, an active
volcano, which by day belches forth
thick volumes of sulphurous vapor, and
by night fitful Hoods of tlame. The era
ter, seen fully one hundred and fifty
kertses out at sea, answers the purposes
of a beacoo, and guides home to Luk- |
trop the coasters?felzanes, vcrliches, or
balanzes?that plow the troubled waters
of theMegalocrida.
On the other side of the town arc
heaped up ruins of the Crimmcrian era;
while the suburb, of Moorish aspect, like
an Algerian fortress, with its white wails,
round roofs and terraces calcined by the
sun, seems a lnige pile of square stones
thrown together at hap-hazard. The
whole mass looks like a cluster of dice,
; . the dots of which have been worn away
with age.
Among other peculiar structures may
be seen an odd-looking building, called
the Six-Four, from the number of its
windows, six in front and four behind.
A steeple rises above the town, the
square steeple of Saint Philfdcne, with
its bells visible tlnorfgh the open stonework,
and when these arc swung (as
they arc at times) by the violence of the
storm, it is accounted a bad sign, and
the good people of the place are filled
with fear at the omen, .Such is Luktrop,
with a few stray houses on the heath be
yond scattered amid the broom and
furze, as in Brittany. Luktrop, however,
is not in Brittany. Is it in France?
I caunot say. In Europe? I do not
know.
At any rate it were useless to look for
the place on the map.
******
Tap, tap? A discreet rap is heard at
the narrow door of Six-Four on the
left hand corner of Messaglierc street. A
comfortable house this, if such a word is
known as Luktrop, and one of the thriftiest
of the place, if to earn on an average
a few thousand fretzers a year be a
sign of thrift.
A ferocious yelp, something between
a bark and a howl, as from a wolf, has
answered the rap, whereupon a window
above the door of the Six-Four is thrown
open.
A young girl, shivering in the rain,
with a soiry cape thrown over her
shoulders, inquires if Dr. Trifr.lgas is at
home.
"lie is or isn't?all depends/'
"I come for my father, who is dying."
"And where is he dying?"
"R" tVin Vnl.K Arninils four IcertSM
from here."
"And what's his name?"
"Yort Kartif."
"Yort Kartif?the cracknel maker."
"Yes; and if Dr. Trifulgas would
only "
4,Dr. Trifulgas isn't at home!"
And the window is brutally closed in
the girl's face, while the wind and the
rain outside mix their voices in a deafening
din.
******
A hard man, Dr. Trifulgas, with but
little feeling for a fellow creature, and
one who attends a patient only if well
paid in advance for his services. His
old dog, Hurzof ? a cross between a bull
and a spaniel?would have more hca j
than he. The door of the Six-Four re- |
mains invariably closed to the poor and
open ouly to the rich. He has moreover,
his scale of prices; typhoid fever,
so much; braiu fever, so much; so much
for pericarditas and for as many more
diseases as doctors choose to invent by
the dozen. And Yort Kartif, the cracknelmaker,
is a poor man, with a penniless
brood. Why, then, should Dr. Trifulgas
bedevil himself, and on such a
night? "The rousing me from my
sleep," snuflied he, as lie went .to his
bed again, "is alone worth ten fretzers!"
Twenty minutes had scarce gone by than
the iron knocker again woke the echoes
of the Six-Four. Grumbling the doctor
got out of bed, and from the window
growled:
"Who is there?"
"I am Yort Ivartif's wife."
"The cracknel maker from Yal Karniou?"
ics, and if you uou t come fie 11
die."
"Well, then, you'll be a widow!"
"Here arc twenty frctzcrs "
"What! Twenty fretzers to go to
Yal Ivarniou, four kcrtses hencc'?'
"For God's sake, come!"
With an oath the window was agaiu
slammed.
"Twenty fretzers," muttered lie;
"what an idea. Hun the risk of catching
a cold or a lumbago for such a sum,
when oue has to attend to-morrow morning
the couty?but wealthy?Edzingov,
* at Kiltrens, whose ailment is worth fifty
fretzers a visit."
With this pleasant prospect. Dr. Trifulgas
sought his bed and went to sleep
as soundly as ever.
******
Rap. rap, rap!
Three blows from the knocker, struck
with a firm hand, have this time added
their rattle to the noise of the storm. The
doctor, startled from his sleep, got up in
a towering passion. On opening his
window the hurricane cnine in like a
whirlwind.
"'Tis for the cracknel maker?"
"What, again that wretch?"
"I am his mother."
"May his mother, wife anil daughter,
all die with hiin I"
" 'Tis a fit?"
"Ay, and a tight one, 110 doubt,"
chuckled the doctor.
"We have a little money." said the old
woman, "an installment on the o!d
house sold to Dantrup, the drayman of
Messaglicrc street, li you don't come,
my grand-daughter will be without a
father, my daughter without a husband,
and myself without a son!"
It was heart-rending and horrible to
hear the old hag's voice, and to think
that the wind froze the blood in her
veins and drenched the very bones under
her skin.
"A fit. say you? The fee is two hundred
fretzers," rejoined the heartles-s
leech.
We have but'onc hundred and twenty.
"Good-night, then!" And once more
the windows were closed.
On secoud thoughts, however, he came
to the conclusion that, for an hour's trot j
On second thoughts, however, he came
to the conclusion that, for an hour's trot
and half an hour's attendance, one hundred
and twenty fretzers made sixty
fretzers an hour- one fretzer a minute!
It was smali profit at best, but not quite
to be despised.
So, instead of getting into bed, the
doctor slipped himself into his velvet
suit, hunied down stairs in a pair of
thick water-proof boots, muffled himself
up in a large overcoat, put on his gloves
and sou'wester, and, leaving the lamp
lighted on the tabic near his Codex
opened at page 15)7, pushed open the ;
door of the Six-Four, and appeared on |
the threshold.
The old crone was there, leaning on
a stick, her frame emaciated by eighty !
years of misery.
"The money,'' said he.
"Here; and may God return it a hundred
fold!"
''God? the money of God? Has any j
one seen its color?"'
The doctor whistled Ilurzof. put a 1
small lantern in the dog's mouth, and i
bent his steps toward the sea. The old !
hag trudged on behind.
******
Good heavens, what weather! The j
bells of Saint Philtilene sway to and fro j
under the headlong fury of the storm, an
ominous portent, as we know. But Dr. I
Trifulgas eschews all superstitious notious.
The fact is, he believes in noth- i
ing at all, not even his own science?ex- j
cept for what it brings him in. "What
weather, to be sure, and what a road! !
Nothing but shingle and slag?the shin- j
gle slippery like seaweed, and the slag
crisp as clinker. And no other light to
. ?ee by than u tremulous flicker from
Hurzof's lantern. At times strange, fantastic
figures seem to toss in the flames
that swell from the mouth of the Vanglor.
There is really no telling what
lies at the bottom of those inscrutable
craters. Perhaps the souls of the underworld,
that volatilize on reaching our atmosphere.
The doctor anil the old hag follow the
line of coast that runs in and out of the
small bays along the shore. The sea is
of a livid whiteness and sparkles as its
billows hurtle the phosphorescent fringe
of surf that seems to pour wave on wave
of ylow-worms upon the beach.
Thus both rush on till they reacli a
bend in the road between two swelling
downs, where broom and sea rushes clash
their blades together like so many bavo
nets.
The dog has drawn nearer to his master,
aud seems to say:
"Well, what thiuk you? A hundred
and twenty fretz^rs to place under lock
and key in the safe! That's the way to
build up a fortune! 'Tis another piccc
of ground added to the vine enclosure!
Another dish added to the evening meal!
Another bowl of food for faithful Ilurzof!
Nothing like attending rich patients
and loosening their purse-strings!''
At this point the old woman stopped.
She directed a finger, which shook like
age, toward a red light some way oil in
the gloom?the house of Yort Kartif,
the cracknel-maker.
"There?" laconically put in the doctor.
"Yes."' responded the crone.
Just then the Yanglor, vibrating to its
foundations with a noise like thunder,
threw up a mass of fuliginous flame,
that mounted to the zenith and rent the
clouds- Doctor Trifulgas was thrown
to the ground by the force of tie concussion.
Regaining his footing, he
looked around. The beldam was gone.
She must have fallen through some deep
crevasse in the ground, or taken flight
on the floating fog-clouds of ocean.
The dog, however, was still there, upright
on his haunches, h:s mouth wide
open, and the light of the lantern blown
out.
"Nevermind; let's go on," mumbled
Doctor Trifulgas. The honest man had
pocketed the one hundred and twenty
fretzers, and must needs earn them.
* * * * * * *
A solitary light is alone visible in the
distance half a kertscawav. It is, doubtless,
the lamp of the dying, or, perchance,
dead niau, and yonder must be the
cracknel-maker's house. There can be
no mistake, the old hag pointed it out.
And so saying, with the noise of the
storm in his ears. Dr. Trifulgas hurried
on toward the hou-c, which, standing
alone in the midst of a wide heath, is
more distinctly perceptible as the wayfarer
approaches.
It is a singular and noteworthy fact
to observe how much the house of the
cracknel-maker looks like the doctor's
Six-Four, at Luktrop; there is the same
arrangement in the front windows, and
the iittle vaulted door at the side. Doctor
Trifulgas strides on as fast as the
driving gusts of wind and rain will permit.
He reaches the door, which is ajar,
pushes it open, enters, and the blast
closes it behind him with a bang. The
dog outside howls, or is silent, by turns.
llow very stramre! One might almost
be led to suppose that Dr. Trifulgas had
come back to his own house. But this
cannot be. lie took not wrong turning
on the road, nor did he- lose his way.
No, he is certainly at Val-Ivarniou, and
not at Luktrop. Yet how comes it his
eye dwells on the same low, vaulted
corridor, the same winding staircase and
the same massive wooden railing, handworn
like his own? He ascends
and stops on the lauding. A
faint light comes from under the door,
as at the Six-Four.
Is it a snare or a delusion? By the
weak glimmer of the lamp he vaguely
recognizes his own room?there the yellow
sofa; there, on the right, the old
oaken chest; and there, on the left, the
iron-girt safe, in which he had thought
of placing his one hundred and twenty
fretzers. Yonder is his arm-chair with
its leather tassels, his table with its convoluted
legs, and upon it, by the Dickering
lamp, his own Codex, open at page
107.
' What nils me?'' murmurs the doctor.
WViot nils tTioo? TVlir thoti art nalsied
with fright. Thy eyeballs stait from
their sockets. Thy body contracts and
dwindles iu size. An icy sweat chills
thy skin, on which nameless horrors
seem to greep.
Quick, or the lamp, for want of oil,
will go cut, and the sick man die. Ay,
the bed is there?his own, with its pillows
and ba'dachiu?a bed as long as it
is broad, and the closed curtains with
their large inwrought flowers. Can this
indeed be the bed of a poor cracknelmaker2
Trembling, the doctor draws
near, pulls the curtains aside, and peers
within.
There, outstretched on his dying bed,
lies the sick man, with his head outside
the counterpane and motionless,like one
about to breathe his last. The doctor
bends forwar:d ?
Ah! what ghastly sorenm is that
which rends the air, and is taken up by
;he dog outside with his sinister howling?
It is not Vort Kartif, the crackncl-mnker,
who is the dying man, but
he, the doctor, Dr. Trifulgas himself !?
he who is smitten down with brain
fever?h^, and no other. Full well he
knows the symptoms. It is cerebral
apoplexy, with sudden accumulation of
serosity in the cavities of the bruiu, and
partial paralysis of tlio body on the side
opposite that where the lesion exists.
Ay, it was for him assistance was besought,
that one hundred, that one hundred
and twenty frctzcrs were paid ! He

refused to attend the poor cracknelmnL-f.r'

Dr. Trifulgas ravc?l like a maniac.
The symptoms increased every minute.
Not only were all the functions of relation
dead in him, but the beatings of his
heart were nearly gone, like the breath j
of his lungs. Yet lie had not lost all j
consciousness of his desperate strait.
AVliat shall he do? Diminish the
mass of the Mood by bleeding ?
There must be no hesitation, or Dr.
Trifulgas is a dead man. Phlebotomy
was still practiced in Volsinia,
and there, as here, the doctors rescued
from apoplexy all those who were not to
die from its elTccts.
Dr. Trifulgas seized his case of instruments,
took his lancet, and punctured
veins on his duplicate self. No blood,
however, spurted from the wound. He
rubbed with all his might the chest of
the dying one, but he found that the pulsations
of his own heart diminished: he
burnt the other's feet with hot bricks,
but felt his own feet growing cold.
Suddenly his duplicate starts up in his
bed, struggles wildly in the last throes
of suspended breathing, a rattle is heard
iu his throat, and Dr. Trifulgas, with all
his science, falls back dead in his own
arms.

As for old Ilurzof, I am told the faithful

tern relighted, scouring the heath and
howling for his lost master, if tbis be
true or not, I cannot say. Yet so many
strange things do occur in this Volsiniau
country, especially round about Luktrop j
that I see no reason to doubt the state- j

once more not to look for this town of

TRYING TO RIDE A CALF.'
MBS. KUI.KITTI.E'S YOUNG HOPEFUL
GETS A PALL.
And Ills Itlotlier Has n Falling Out
with Sinter Caroline Patterson?
A Visit Spoiled*
Mrs. Mulkittle had promised the boy
that if he would be good, he might ac
company licr on a visit to a Iricntl in tlic
conntry. The youngster remembered
the promise; and sometimes at night
when he said his prayers, he would interpolate
the protocol of "Now I lay
me down to sleep,"' and throw in a fewsuggestions
of reminder concerning the
visit. "When the day arrived, Mrs. Mulkitt'.e
decided that the boy had been
good. The excitement of a buggy ride,
the objects of interest along the road?
a rabbit jumping among the briars and
a stjuirrcl that crossed the road and ran
up a tree, made him shout in merriment,
lister Caroline Patterson, whom they
visited, was delighted to see them, and
her son Avery, when he saw young Mulkittlc,
took a "duck fit," as his mother
expressed it.
"Xow, Willie," said the anxious mother,
you must not go near the horses."
"Xome."
"And you must not go down to the
creek."
"Nome."
"Come on, Bill," shouted Avery.
"You Avery!" said Mrs. Patterson.
"Well, why don't he come 011?"
"Because his mother is talking to
him."
"Don't go in the mud," continued

"I ain't."
''There now, run along and be a good
boy."
The two youngsters went out to the
lot.
"That's a fine calf," said Mulkittlc.
' You bet lie is," Patterson replied.
"Wish I had thought about it and
brought my saddle. Wc would ride
him."
"Who ever heard tell of anybody ridin'
a calf!"
"They might not ride town calves, but
a calf like this here is better than a hoss.
Don't need a saddle, only its easier.
Don't need a bridle, either. Want to
ride him around the lot a time or
two?"
"No, not this time. Wait till I corns
next time."
"Ho, you arc afraid, that's what."
' "No, I ain't."
'"Yes, you are afraid. Pet your life
if I waster to come to town an' you
waster tell me that I was afraid to ride
anything, I'd hop on him too quick.
You wouldn't do to live in the country.
You haven't got the sand. You are a
coward, that's what."
"No, I aiu't a coward. I rode a hoss
by myself."
"Anybody can do that. Ho, a baby
can ride a hoss."
"Well, if I had a bridle an' saddle I'd
ride him."
"What do you want with a bridle an'
saddle? That's the way girls ride. Do
you want to ride like a girl?"
"Girls ride sideways, but I don't.
"Come on here 'au let's drive him up
in the fence corner. Come up. You
needn't ride him unless you want to. 1
ain't beggin' you to do it."
The calf, a lazy looking thing, was
easily driven into the fence corner. Patterson
went up to him and began to
stroke his head.
"Git around there, Bill, an' climb on
the fence. Now don't you sec bow putty
you could throw your leg over him. I
wish I had a boy here that wasn't a
coward. I believe you arc a girl anyhow.''
"I ain't a girl!" indignantly replied
the visitor. "How cau I git on him
when he won't keep still?"
"Now he's still. There, I knowed you
was afraid."
Mulkittle, still hesitating, stood with
one foot on the fence and with the other
on the calf's back.
"Why don't?now you got him! Hold
him! Whoop!"
The calf lowered his head and with a
"ba-r-r," darted across the lot. Mulkittle
yelled, and the next moment his
mother emerged from the house. Just
before she reached the lot, the calf threw
the youngster. With a shriek the frightened
mother ran to him. lie was not
hurt, having falling on a pile of leaves,
but his mother seized him in her arms
and carried him in the house.
"Why did you get on that calf; say?"
"Av-Av-Avery made me."
"Didn't do any such a thing, maw.
He said that if he had a saddle he would
ride him, an' I said that he couldn't if
he had a saddle, an' he said he could ride

When the boys had been separated the
women drew themselves up and looked
at each other.

Mrs. Patterson.
"Oh. don't be alarmed." Mrs. Mulkittle
replied. "I have no desire to talk to

Russians and Serfs.
Dr. A. Wright, in his "Adventures in ,
Scrvia," tells this story: Savrimovitehf
MouravioiT, and I were silently smoking
under the shelter of our hut, when a bullet
whistled between us and passed out
through the leafy wall behind. "We
started to our feet and rushed outside.
A number ?f soldiers were standing or
sitting about engaged in cleaning their
rifles, cooking, etc. MouravioiT demanded
furiously who had fired the shot.
A heavy, stupid-looking fellow was
pointed out as the culprit, whereupon
our friend strode up to hinfj and seizing
him by the collar, asked him sternly
what he meant by discharging a loaded
rifle in camp. The soldier sulkily- answered
that lie had only fired his piece
in the air, and did not know there was
any harm in that, whereupon the roughand-ready
.MouravioiT replied: "Idiot!
Don't you know that when you send a
bullet into the air it is likely to come
down again, like this?" and striking
him on the head with his clenched fist
knocked him over. This severe treatment
caused some murmuring among
the soldiers, who were already beginning
to tire of Russian discipline. A
sinstcr rumor that many Russian ollicers
had been treacherously slain in battle by
some of their own men whose ill-will
they had incurred was current in camp,
and it was undoubtedly true that Russian
oflicers frequently treated the Servians
with great harshness, but considering
the rawness and inaptitude of
the material they had to deal with and
the absolute necessity of enforcing discipline,
I do not think that the kicks
and culTs that I often saw them bestow
upon their men were unmerited. Again,
although the unwarlike Serbs murmured
at being dragooned into discipline they
seemed very soon to regain their equanimity.
They are naturally too good natured
and easy-going a race to be vindictive,
and therefore I believe that the
heavy losses among the Russiaus were
due to their reckless valor and not to
Servian treachery. Nevertheless, many
Russians I met firmly believed this
rumor in spite of the indignant denial
given of it by the Servians.

percentage of the eggs used in America
nre not laid by American hens. While
the United States is annually sending
more meat and larger quantities of breadstuffs
abroad, the increased importation
of eggs has been correspondingly great.
The business was started some four or
live years ago. Eggs have long been an
export article of Denmark. The importations
for the first year was' not large,
and a ready market was found. The
prices realized were higher than those
obtained in England. For this reason
the number sent to New York was
larger than the following year. The increase
has annually been more marked.
Not only Denmark, but Belgium, Germany.
Hungary, and even Poland have
contributed to the supply. Eggs from
Denmark, however, are held in greatest
favor and command the highest price.
They are received here during the entire
year, with the exception of the hot summer
months. They arc imported, ordinarily,
ten months in the year, the great
portion-during the period from October
to the middle of March. The importations
arc greatly alfected by the weather.
It is said that the eggs prepared in
lime on the other side of the Atlantic
are superior to the "limed" eggs of this
country. Therefore the iirst importai
tions of "limed" cjrirs brought within
three to five cents of the price of fresh
domestics. Now the difference is much
greater. As the Lenten season approaches
the prices are not very wide
apart. The supply of fresh eggs is
smaller and the demand greater. European
'limed" eggs sell alongside domestics.
and in some instances the former
have the advantage in price. This is in
part due to quality, but mainly to the
fact that those from some foreign countries,
especially Denmark, are sorted and
graded according to size. This is not
done in America. The prices thus far
have ranged from sixteen to twenty-two
cents per dozen at wholesale.
But it is not alone in "limed" eggs
that importers deal. Large quantities
of fresh eggs come over during the colder
weather, and arc brought into sharp
competition with the domestic article.
Eggs have been free of duty for many
years. They were on the free list of the
'74 tariff and remained so on the '8:5 revision.
The foreign eggs arc easily distinguished
in the wholesale trade, as
they come packed in cases of lifty dozen
j each, larger than those in use in this
country. But there is nothing to denote
the difference in the retail trade. It is
claimed that the European eggs arc used
almost exclusively for cooking purposes.

Reason for a Queer Regulation.
One of the puzzling articles of war is
that one which forbids a court-martial
to sit after S o'clock p. m. The reason
for this queer regulation is quite as queer
ns tlif- l-ffrtiliition itself. In a letter read
in the House of Representatives, Major
Asa Bird Gardner, jud irc-advocatc, says:
"This limitation has gone into our
statutes from the British articles of war
in force in 1775, which our Continental
Congress adopted for our army. It took
its rise in the mutiny act, enacted by
Parliament in 1G89, in which, by section |
10, such proceedings of trials could only
be held between the hours of 8 in the
morning and 1 in the afternoon. The reason
of this was because 1 o'clock
p. m was the fashionable dining
hour, and no English ofHoer
or private gentleman was expected to be
sober after that hour. Later, the fashionable
dining hour became 'A o'clock
during the reign of the earlier George,
and the time for sessions of the court
was extended to that hour. The American
revolution came on when that was
the hour, and our Congresses, down to
and including the revised statutes of
1874, have continued to re-enact this
curious, obsolete law, wholly unaware of
the implication it contains, while in ihe
British scrvicc it has been abrogated.
The effect of this is apparent in the trial
of Judge Advocate-General D. G. Swaim.
Yesterday the court had to suspend its
deliberations at 3 p. m. because a continuance
a moment later would have rendered
the proc eedings illegal and void.
You can well understand the hindrance
to business this occasions, and I could
give you many remarkable illustrations."

A FEMININE 3ESPERAD0.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS HANDY WITH
BEVOLVEB OB KNIFE.
Events In Ifcr Career?Killing a man
and imlniidnting' HI* Companions?A
Veritable Amazon.
A rcccnt letter from Abilene, Texas,
to the 2sew York Sua says: Maud Raynor,
the woman desperado, is in jail in
this city for assault. She is wanted in a
dozen places, and had several complaints
against her before the one on which she is
now held was lodged. She lived here
(]uietly until a woman who was jealous
of her revealed her identity to the police.
As soon as she found that she was an object
of suspicion she attacked her enemy
with a club and almost beat her brains
out. Maud Raynor has been a notorious
character in this State, the Indian Territnrv
nnrl Ivnn<jns fnr sfivnral Tears. She
gained the title of woman desperado by
reason of her recklessness of human life
and her fondness for fights. She goes
armed to the teeth, shoots with unerring
aim, and is quite as much at home with a
bowic knife or a club as with a revolver.
She has managed to escape arrest hitherto
by reason of the fact that all manner
of stories concerning her have been in
circulation, and her actual appearance is
very different from the idea which the
people generally have formed of her.
She is of compac t frame, and about medium
height, with a graceful carriage.
Her features arc small, her eyes steel
gray, and lier hair long and abundant.
In jail to-day she was raving because her
keepers had taken away her pistols and
knives.
"I suppose I'll never sec them again,"
she said. "When you get into one of
these calabashes they always help themselves
to what you've got, and whether
you're sent up or not they keep all that
they steal. I'll bet I've furnished half
the sheriffs in Texas and Kansas with
good weapons in the last five years.
They don't get money enough together
at one time to buy such things, but they
know just enough to pinch them when
they get a chance. I played it on a detective
up here in Panhandle once. He
had been following me for about a month,
and finally when ho got me he took two
guns aud three knives away from me. I
saw his eyes bung out as he looked at
them, and I says to him:
" 'You'll be well heeled now, won't
you?"
"lie pretended that lie didn't care
anything about the weapons, and showed
me some of his old firecracker pistols,
and wanted me to admire them. I told
him one of my guns was worth a bag
full of his, and after getting him a little
excited I grabbed one of my weapons to
show it to him. I pointed several of the
good points, and then turning it on him,
I said:
" 'I want to see yourtyecls right lively
iiWH
' 'lie thought I was fooling for a second,
but when the pistol clicked he knew
it was business. Then he backed off,
and wanted to trade with me. I had his
guns and mine, too, but I told him I
wasn't trading. Just to hurry him up a
little I sent a bullet mighty close to his
ear, and a moment later as he was edging
off I put another one near enough to his
oilier ear to singe his hair. Such running
you never saw. I watched him out
of sight. Then I took his guns and
threw them in the river. I wouldn't have
been found with them on me."
Maud liaynor went through the Indian
Territory once with about a regiment of
Indians and white men on her trail. She
had been up at a ranch on the Arkansas
river, where a great many desperate characters
were congregated, and in a shooting
affray in which she took a prominent
part the bartender was killed.
Every man swore that the woman was
the guilty party, and she recklessly admitted
it, though it is probable she was
not the real offender. Some friends of
the murdered man came along just then,
and organized to lynch ber. Getting
wind of the programme, she stole a
horse and set out for Kansas, the men
following. Several. Indians joined the
pursuing party .it various places, until
finally there were about a hundred men
on her trail. She managed to elude them
for several days, and coming finally
upon a band of chivalrous cowboys,
she made them believe she was a
persecuted innocent. Her new-found
friends promptly agreed to defend her
against all comers, and when her pursuers
camc in sight they were met by a
volley which brougnt mem 10 a siuuu.
In the course of three or four day9 they
concluded to abandon the search.
The exploit of which she is proudest
occurred a year or moreagojin the Indian
Territory. She had been up in Kansas
on the warpath, and making her way
back to Te.\a9 had fallen in with a rough
crowd of plainsmen. One of these was
a man named Dutton, whom she had
known many years before. In the course
of an evening passed at a ranch on the
cattle trail, she had a quarrel with this
fellow, and after sonic harsh words he
rushed at her with a knife. She was
too quick for him. Ho had hardly got
within striking distance before she put a
bullet through his heart. As he jumped
in the air and fell back dead his comrades
made a rush at the woman, and
would have finished her then and there
if one of the men had not taken her
part in a mild sort of way. As they
stopped to parley, she made tliis proposition
:
"I'll fight the whole pack of you, one
at a time. I killed that man, and I'm
glad of it. I ought to have done it years
ago."
One man went out with her, and the
two stepped oil twenty paces, turned
and fired. The man got a bullet in his
shoulder, and wanted to quit. The woman
was unhurt. Standing there resolutely
she called on the others for a victim,but
no one stirred. Then she taunted
them, and finally, when she found that
they were not disposed to annoy her
further, she said:
"Now,I'm going to Texas, and I want
an escort. IIow many of you are going
with me?"
"* ' i i 3 1.
Tlicy all agreed to go dui two, jinu 10
those "two she addressed herself, saying:
"You're just the ones that I want to
go with me, und you've got to go, too."
The others rather enjoyed the sport.
She never took her pistols off them for a
minute. They got her horse out of the
corral, mounted their own, and at her
command rode on in front of her. When
she had driven them ten or fifteen niiles
she made them turn back, while she rode
on toward the south.
The True Friend.
A certain merchant had three sons.
When the youngest came of age hecallcd
them together, and said to them in a
voice husky with emotion:?
"Now, boys, you all go out into the
world and acquire a knowledge of humau
nature. At the end of the year you
will return, and the one who has acquired
the best friend will receive this
magnificent diamond ring."
'Ihe young men having taken the ring
to a jeweler and satisfied themselves that
it was not a California diamond,accepted

tlie situation aim suinuu um. at mu
end of the year tlicy returned, looking
somewhat the worse for wear. The old
man immediately issued his call for a
mass meeting, and they gathered around
him. lie called for the reports from the
various committees.
The first one lifted up his voice and
said:?
"I had an affair of honor. I got into
a quarrel and a challenge passed. "We
were to light at ten steps. My friend
came forward and took my place. He
was badly wounded, but 1 believe he
saved my life. I claim the ring, for
having acquired the most'self-sacrificing
friend."
No. 2 then took the floor and addressed
the chair: ?
"I was on board of a ship. We had a
collision. 1 found myself in tli? water.
My friend wns near me on a hen-coop.
iVhen lie saw me he swam oil and let me
have the hen-coop. We were both
picked up afterward, but he undoubtedly
saved my life. I thiuk my friend
was the boss."
"What sort of a friend have you got
to show up on?"' said the father of the
third son.
"I was in a tieht place," he responded.
' I had been fooling with the tiger, and
had lost all my money. My friend came
forward and advanced me $500, and refused
to take my note for the amount."
"To you belongs the riDg," said the
merchant. "Your older brother's friend
was simply a better shot. In the case of
the other brother, his friend was simply
a better swimmer. They took risks, I
admit; but your friend has sustained an
actual, bona fide loss, for he will never
get his money back. You gained the
best friend, for he made actual sacrilices.

The "Tulchan" was an artifice employed
by the milkmaids of North England
and Scotland, some hundreds of
years ago, in order to obtain the milk
from new milch cows. It was a calf
skin, stuffed out to resemble a calf, with
head bent forward. This rude similitude
of a calf was brought out at milking
time, and while the cow stood quietly
gazing around at the supposed calf beside
her, the artful milkmaid on the
other side was securing the milk which
the unsuspecting cow was reserving for
her calf. The ;<Tulchan" is long since
obsolete.
A fish found nowhere else in the
world is the golden trout of Kern River,
California. Its flesh is hard and sweet,
but it is noted particularly for the beautiful
color which flakes its sides, looking
as though they had been submitted to a
coating of gold foil. The Inyo Independent
says: "This peculiarity of color and
their distinct species is preserved by a
natural barrier existing between them
and the other varieties which are found
in this creek. A series of high and
rocky falls prevent other fish from
ascending and mingling with them, and
so, from generation to generation, they
I have, by a natural barrier, been able to
preserve tneir distinct cnaracier. jit
times some of them have descended
into the lower course of the stream,
and a mixed tribe, combining the
speckled and golden trout, has been
formed, individuals of which are often
caught."
Utilizing Sea-Weed.
In tropical climates the little air blad
aera which support the scawracks are of
great service; f01 the masses of seaweed
are several hundred feet long and of considerable
height, having stems the thickness
of a man's thigh, and branches and
drooping stems which support innumerable
forms of animal life, such as corals,
crabs, worms of different kinds, together
with mosses and weeds of the sea, and
being beside a place of deposit for innumerable
eggs of various creatures. In
Scotland the tender parts of the seawracks,
known as tangles, are used as
food, and when cooked are considered
choice diet for cattle. The stems of a
very hard, horny variety oWffc seawracks
arc used as knife-handles. They
are cut in short pieces, and while moist
or green the blade is forced in at one
end. When the stem dries it clings
firmly to the knife-blade. Being gnarled
and horny it resembles buck's horn, and
when tipped with metal and full finished,
forms a neat, inexpensive knife-handle.
The rose-tangles are higher up in the
scale of vegetable life, and their delicate
tints renders them very beautiful. Of
these, pulse is an important variety to
I the Scotch and Irish, who, beside using
it as food, both in its raw state and
cooked in milk, find it a substitute for
tobacco. Carrageen moss is another
kind of rose-tangle, from which a nourishing
jelly is made. The Chinese use one
variety of rosc-tangle as a chief ingredient
in other glossing preparations; twentyseven
thousand pounds arc brought annually
to Canton and sold at from six to
eighteen pice per pound.
Central America.
The region called Central America is
800 or 000 miles long and from 30 to 300
miles broad. The name has come to
signify a geographical division, like
North America or Africa. Strictly the
region belongs to the continent of North
America, but the formation of the republic
of Central America, which maintained
a federal form of government from 1M23
to 1839, has affixed tbe designation permanently.
The areas of the Hvq republics into
which the federation dissolved arc given
by the celebrated geographers, Bchm and
Wagner, as follows: Guatemala, 40,477
square miies; Honduras, 47,192; San
Salvador, 7,330: Nicaragua, 52,120;
Costa Kica, 20,704.
The State of Panama, which lies east
of Costa Kica, is often classed with Central
America, and the news which comes
from it relating to South America is almost
always placed under the head of
Central America in the papers: but it is
one of the states of the republic of Columbia.
Since it lies across the isthmus
dividing the two continents, and 011 both
sides, we give its area. 150,000 square
miles. It is the seat of frequent revolutions,
and is attached to Columbia more
nominally than really.
The population of the Central American
states is about as follows: Guatemala,
1,253,497; San Salvador, 5.14,785;
Nicaragua, 275,815; Honduras, 350,000;
Costa llica, 183,000. Panama has 220,000
population.

that the effort to illustrate important or
special current events was much earlier

attempt to illustrate the news of the day

1013, illustrating among other things
the burning of Tiverton and '-The Wonders
of the Windie "Winter." Favorite
subjects with those early woodcutters
were murders, battles and Hoods, with
now and then a supernatural flight,
whether of ghost or meteor. There were
some very good cuts in 1041 and 104:},
one or two being accounted worthy the
pages of a modern illustrated paper. The
first paper that attempted regularly to
illustrate features of its news was the
Jfercurtus C'icic'in, published in London
during the civil war. War maps were
published as early as 1701, when the
London /W gave an outline drawing of
the scat of war in Italy; in 1740 the

How Pofffish Destroy 3Iackcrcl.
Captain Joseph Smith, ot Gloucester,
Ma>s., says that while oil Wood Island,
Maine, lie observed what lie supposed to
be at first a moderate-sized school of
mackeral at the surface of ihe water.
On closer inspection, however, he found
that only a small number were mackerel,
probably not exceeding more than half
or three-quarters of a barrel, and these
were completely surrounded by an immense
school of dogfish. The body of
dogfish was formed in such a manner as
to inclose the mackerel on all sides and
uuderneath, completely preventing their
escape. Captain Smith had an opportunity
of observing the mackerel closely,
and savs that many of them, he noticed,
were bitten by the dogfish, some being
deprived of their tails, and others having
wounds on their sides. He is of the
opinion that every one of the mackcrel
was ultimately eaten by the dogfish. It
is probable, he thinks, that at first a
much larger body of mackels was surrounded.
The school of dogfish lie estimated
to contain at least cnougli for
one hundred barrels. Another school
of dogfish surrounding a small body of
mackcrel wa9 seen on the same day.

The Mussel for Diet.
According to an exchange the mussel
is one of the most delicious of bivalves,
yet it is only recently that the American
is learning to cat it, and even now it is
seldom met with away from the seaboard.
In New York city mussels can
be bought by the bushel, and arc for
sale on the street oyster stands at ten
cents per plate, or twenty-five cents a
bucket. The buckets are neat little tin
pints, in which the purchaser can carry
them home.
The opened mussels arc sold cooked,
and generally pickled in vinegar and
spices. They are a golden yellow in
color, fat, healthy and delicious. The
Vrfltinli nnrt Italians, esnccifillv the Sar
dinians and Cicilians, know how to cook
and eat mussels. They cultivate them
on wooden frames set in the sea, and
produce them of enormous size. The favorite
use is to steam them and serve up
in the shell. A sop is made of vinegar,
spices, mustard and oil. A mussel is
twisted from his shell, his beard pulled
off, dragged through the sop, and down
your throat he slides. The American
