E I the young ladies of modern times. know I'm an o]<l-fa?hioned body, though not foolishly net in my ways, Anil I'd like well to speak my mind about th,. young ladies of modern days; Their own grandmothers would not know Ihcm.and I'm lost in amazement myself; But whether the old or the young one? are right, I wish some wise person would tell. When I was a girl 'twas not a-siticucs, uui nnc housekeeping won praise. And she wag counted a notable woman that a roo<1 pie-cruet could raise, Who could make a luscious cordial, studied season ings and ragouts; But the young ladies who manage the world to-day have very different views. My granddaughter Polly says: "Y es, indeed there are servants to bake and to fry; That cordials can now be Iwught in the stores, and doctors don't recommend pie; That she knows better than waste her time dis tilling sweet waters and pomade, When there's barbers and perfumers glad enoug to follow the job fora trade." And she plays l hopin and lieethoven; has a notion of Latin and Greek; And German, French and Italian, she says, ever girl ought to speak. She is writing a drama now; and she's written hal a dozen romances; And she'd think it "too shockingly slow" not to know all the new games and dances. When I look at their "high art needlework," at the sunflowers, lilies and cranes, At the wonderful painted palette* and plagues, 1 think girls arc nothing but brains. When I look at them fluted and frilled, pinks laces, feathers and flowers in a mess, All pictures of " ei>oclis " nud " styles" and 'schools," I think girls are nothing but dress But in spite of the dressing and playing and painting, Iho truth must be told, and I'll say, Never v>as houskceping much better managed than jrst as it's managed to-day; And fa:hers, instead of admonishing Ktrlt?, praise f.nd hnmor them early and late, So maybe, I'm thinking, the young fo ks arc ti-^ht, and the old ones a bit out of date. For the modern lover ia just as bad; his mistress is all of a queen; A mere beautiful, brilliant, ethereal type than the world has ever seen. He takes the housekeeping all on trust, while shc sings him an exquisite song, And though I d'n't understand tt at all, th# trust very rarely is wrong. I was speaking about the girls of my time to a loTer but yesterday; And kc said; "Ah, yes; very excellent, ma'am, quite iAce, I should think, in their way. The fact of t he matter is, women arc fair iu every epoth and clime; 15ut we get the cremc dc la crcme of the sex in the ladies of our own time.'" Then in came Polly, all frizzes and bmgs, pale gold color, surah and lace; And he looked at her, and then at me, with a kin of triumphant face; And I wonder at Polly, and think of the past, till I I'm loet in amazement myself; Knt whether the old or new way is the best, I wish | some wise body would tclL ?Harprr'g Weekly, A I'ARABLEJF CHARLEY. Now it camc to pass that in the third year of the reign of Catharine, Queen of the Earth, I became acquainted with Charley. Charley was the brother of Catharine, and was a good-looking, solid, respectable kind of a fellow, with square shoulders, ruddy face, blonde beard, and a full blue eye, whose glance fell upon you Jikc a shaft. In all his social and business relations he was an eminently correct young man, against whom the tewest of mistakes or failures could be urged. This, combined with the fact that he was Catharine's brother, was the reason for the deep and undying hatred which I bore him?a hatred which for a long time seemed capable of being appeased only by gore. In the first place, he was always punctual. The unfailing regularity with which he every morning appeared at his deBk in the pork-house (he was manager in the establishment) was only equaled by the exceeding precision with which he discharged the minutest details of his daily appointments. Now I am fond of the morning hour for sleep, myself, and have a theory that ono will live longer if he employ it in sleep. Therefore 1 pity a man who will continuously peril his health as Charley does. In the next place, he was always methodical. He was never known to vary from his established daily routine of business, any more than a responsible clock is observed to deviate from its accustomed method of beating seconds. Being disposed, myself, to think that all is well that ends well, 1 can feel nothing but contempt for a man who is such a mere machine. In the next place he was stable and permanent. He had at once decided upon his line of life, and had never after wavered in it. He had been twelve years in the establishment of which he was manager, and which he had first entered in the capacity of fourth bookkeeper when he was yet a mere lad. I, myself, having tried in turn a halfdozen different occupations, all of which proved uncongenial, am by nature in deadly feud with the man who has no spice in his life. (Though I have oftcu suspected that it was my own cake which was dough.) And then again, he was contented at home. He had repeatedly received the kindest invitations to join parties touring in Europe, to Cuba, to California, or to the National Park; but, although abundantly able to travel, he always declined these propositions, saying that he could not spare the time from business. Now lam passionately fond of travel, chance and excitement, and have visited most of the leading places of interest if. "* to tourists?although myself a poor man. So I have no paticncc with an unambitious stay-at-home. When I add to all these things the disgusting prosperity of the man; his , everlastingly-increasing salary?I have said enough to explain to any rational mind the ill will I bore for Charley. But that which first fanned the slumbering fires of my wrath, and well-nigh caused me to imbrue my hands in the heart's-b!ood of a fellow-being, happened in this wise. I had just returned from a year's residence in California (and was searching for employment), when, as a matter of course, I called upon Catharine. For Catharine is long-sutTcring and kind, and so 1 am always privileged to cal upon her. As I entered the drawingroom, Catharine extended her hand to me, and permitted me to salute the tips of her fingers. (I often wondered whether, if 1 had $30,000, she would not?but no matter:) Then I sat down, and proposed to tell her all about my " experiences in the West. Catharine listened politely for a time?she is the politest person!?and then gently told me that she did not care to hear about my Western life. An awkward nausc en J J -x /i-t! ; ' 1 Hiiea, nua at leugiu liuuuriiu; rcmuriveu: "Did I ever tell you of the offer Charley had to go in charge of an excursion to California?" I remarked that she never had. "Yes; he could have gone for nothing, and have remained a month. The firm wished him to go, and told him he needed rest. Hut he would not go. Charley is such a hand to stay at home and stick to business." I pleasantly changed the topic, and began to speak of some of the young lady acquaintances I had met since my return, remarking how glad they seemed to sec me. "Did you sec Hattie Coswell?" asked Catharine. "Oh! yes; and she?" "They say that she is quite well pleased with Charley. But Charley is a general favorite with the ladies, although I believe he hardly understands why they flock about him so?or perhaps, indeed, never suspect that they do at all." "He has no heart, perhaps," said I. somewhat acridly. "Indeed, sir, you quite mistake! I am very sure he has a heart, and a manly one at that. I think he will pay little attention to the ladies until he has attained his station in life, and made a home for himself: then. T think, he will not make much stirabout it,but will just get married." Catharine sighed a little sigh, which she checked at once. I changcd the subject. I talked of my business plans. She listened for a time, and then said suddenly, as if she had just thought of it: "Charley never talks of business to us women, although he manages the business of the whole family. He thinks the men ought to attend to the business." ("May the foul fiend fly away with Charley!" thought I.) I gayly fell upon another theme, and asked Cathrrine to admire my new coat. "Yes; it is very pretty," said she. Then, after a moment, "I do think Charley has the fewest suits, to look so well as he does. Hut then he 19 economical in ^ everything. He will make a good husr band, Charley will!" * I resolved, for the twentieth time, to murder Charley, and soon after excused myself and retired. [ f It was not long after this I fell dangerously ill, being confined to my bed for souie weeks. My condition became so aiarming mat i was wsuuu ??tiu instantly attended by Catharine, who proved herself a most devoted and efhcient nurse, so that (although during my convalescence I remember once to have heard her murmur to herself that "Charley was so strong!") I could not on the whole find any fault with her ministrations. Indeed, I am inclined to think that my sickness was a dispensation of Providence, for during the days of my slow recovery I had ample time "to review my life, and review it I did. And a very poor and miserable kind of life I fouud it, with no purpose and no success at all attached to it. It was not the kind of a life which I admired, though singularly enough I had never thought of that before, and probably never would have done so had it not been for that convenient Charley. And then and there I resolved to reform, to m:ike tlie most of myself, and go steadily to work with a purpose. When I grew better I called upon Catharine again. I took her whole hand in mine and told her that I had been a fool?and that 1 loved hei. I told her I was going West again, but that I was goiug to stick to my business and make a home?and that I loved her. (Juite soon after that I rose to go. Catharine rose also. She leaned toward me quite imperceptibly, and all atoncc I saw that, if I wished, it might all be as it was five years before. With the greatest struggle of my life, I saluted only the tips of her fingers, and said to her: "Catharine, my dear girl, I am not worthy to touch your lips now. When I come back I will be, and then I will kiss them." From the other side of my shoulder Catharine sobbed: "I am q'quite sure that Ch-Charlcy would, ri right now!" "God bless you, Charley!" thought I. - -E. Hough, in Chicago Current. Eastern Soldiers at I'lay. A correspondent of one of the London papers describes how the Russian soldiers in Central Asia amuse themselves and pass away the time. Two of the men had received decorations at the hauds of the general, having distinguished themselves in a recent skirmish against the Tckkes at Dournnk. The battalion to which they belonged, and another, paraded for the occasion. When the ceremony of decorating had terminated, the men broke ranks, and the newly decorated soldiers were felicitated bv their companions, who straightway seized upon them, and placing each one in a teut sheet, held by eight stout men, tossed them into the air, repeating this operation with most troublesome rapidity. "On the same evening," says the correspondent, "on paying a visit to a major of Cossacks, with whom I was acquainted, I saw an example of the manner in which Russian soldiers occasionally amuse them| selves when in these remote places. A stake was tirmiy pianica 111 uie grouuu, and two ropes, each some twenty feet long, were attached to it, the extremity of each being held by a blindfolded soldier, who carried in his right hand a stout piece of rope about three feet long. ' Holding the ropes extended to their full length, they were placed at opposite sides of the circle which they would be obliged to follow,and a signal was given. Each listened intently to try if he could discover the approach of his adversary. If one could steal a march upon the other,* he belabored him with the rope's end, a dozen blows, I believe, being the maximum number permitted at a time. The performance seemed to delight both the major and the remainder of th: spectators. "I have remarked on ail such occasions the unfailing good temper with which the severe knocks, often amounting to downright ill-treatment, are received by these soldiers at each other's hands." Preserved Sunshiue. Light and life are inseparable, that is, such was the generally received opinion many years ago, and in accordance with it, houses were built, liberally supplied with windows, and as liberally now? but go along any of the fashionable streets of New York, and you will find not less than three, and often six, distinct contrivanccs to keep out the sunshine aud gladness. First, the Venetian shutter on the outside; second, the close shutter on the inside; third, the blind which is moved by rollers; then, fourtlilv thnre nre the lace curtains: fifth the damask or other material, lu the same train come the exclusion of external air by means of a double sash, and a variety of patent contrivances to keep any little stray whiff of air from entering nt the bottom, sides and tops of doors and windows. At this rate, we will, in due time, dwindle into Lilliputs, if indeed we do not die off sooner, with all science and art, and leave tho world to begin anew, from the few sons of the forest, who persisted in eschewing civilization. We lay it down as a health axiom?the more outdoor air and cheery sunshine a man can use, the longer he will live. Hut the Preserved Sunshine! "What about it? That very same sunshine which so lavishly beamed upon our continent with all its tropical fervor in the earlier ages of creation, what has become of it? A casual reader of the Jonrwtl will exclaim, "What a fool of a question that is!" Let us leisurely inquire into it; but in doing so we must take it for granted that the reader knows something. In Central America, where the sun shines with all its brilliancy and fierceness, vegetation is of fabulous growth, of a luxuriance almost incredible. But how does a tree grow? "Without light no wood is made in any vegetable growth; the woody fibre is from carbonic acid gas being absorbed by the leaves and through the bark of any growth. But light separates the two constituents which compose this carbonic acid gas, carbon and oxygen, and two different uses arc made of it; the oxygen is liberated, thrown out and breathed by animals and men. while the | carbon or "coal" goes to form the woocv fibre of the plant, which presents a kind of ring, plainly seen in sawing through a tree, the number of rings indicating the age of the tree in years; some of these rings are broader, some narrower, indicating most probably the more or less sunshine of the year, for a plant will not grow as much in a cold summer as in a warm one. In a section of a California tree, a part of which wc have .een, more than two thousand such rings were counted, showing that these trees mu9t have lived in the times of David and perhaps of Abraham. In the earlier ages of the world, some great Hood or floods swept over the immense growths of the warmer climes, which then, no doubt, included what is now called Ohio and Pennsylvania. In process of time, this growth was covered with earth and stone?, and eventually became "coal." the anthracite and bituminous, with which wc arc so familiar; and the very identical carbon which the sunlight of ages ago separated for the purpose of vegetation, is now, by its combination with its old associate oxygen, returning to its original condition of carbonic acid gtis, and in making that change by what we call "burning," warms our houses, lights up our streets, and is preparing to grease our rail cars, by the oil which it is capableof yielding. ?1 In Wit Journal of Health. Stimulants In Arctic Kegions. Lieutenant Greely remarked that breathing air of such intense coolness had something of thecilcct produced Inbreathing pure oxygen. As for pulmonary troubles, he heard no complaint of them while the party was at Fort Conger, in Lady Franklin bay, at a latitude of 82.8, where the first two years were spent. Even simple catarrhs were unknown, the only thing from which the men suffered being occasional rheumatisms and stiffness of muscles and joints, j The party had ferocious appetites during j all the long sojourn in the North, each | man eating with relish three meals of j I animal food and two lunches every day, j I and craving fat, though not to the extent which some arctic travelers report. Not even when the thermometer rcgiscivtv fl(>rrrpf? lielmv 70m did these men indulge in crude blubber or tallow candle^, which tradition has designated as the customary food of Arctic voyagers; nor was even pcmmican icgarded as a rare and dainty dish by them. 1 Canned meats, of which they had an abundance during the first two years,and ] a steiik or ragout from the walrus, seal, or polar bear, were prized as the essential conditions of well-being. As for spirituous liquors, they were used with great moderation, and dole 1 out to the members of the expedition as occasion seemed to demand, and only when some unusual exertion or exposure brought some extraordiuarv fatigue or prostration. As means to fortify the system against cold or brace it up for forced marches, whisky, rurn, and other alcoholic stimulants were regarded as of little benefit.? Medical Record.

"That ain't no pillow, and I don't want it, nohow; I'm afraid it'll get in my car." After this, silence, and for a short time 1 slept.

There is no opportunity like the present, said Jim Dake as he sauntered leisurely up the lauc from the woods toward Deacon Churchill's farmhouse. In front of him stood a row of chcrrv trees partially laden with fruit. Iu the centrc stood one which for some purpose or other had been left untouched. The dead-ripe fruit hung in luscious clusters. It was Sunday morning, and the Deacon's family would of course be at church. Jim swung himself over the fcnce, climbed the tree as nimbly as a cat, and laid himself out for a feast. How good those cherries tasted! A half hour went by and still the boy's capacity for such UiBcious fruit seemed in no way lessened. Time waits for no man, or boy either. Jim meant to go just before noon, but those cherries were too good for anything. Another hough at the top hung down so temptingly that Jim couldn't resist the temptation, so he climbed higher and i wnrkrxl linrrlnr tlinn f>vnr_ Church happened to let out a little earlier than usual, that particular Sunday. Just as Jim's head popped up as he had laid hold of that topmost bough, the deacon came in sight driving old Dobbin at a good smart trot. lie immediately spied the thief who was stripping the tree of the carefully guarded fruit whic had been intended for canning upon the morrow. He suspectcd who the intruder might be, for Jim's lawlessness was very well understood. Passing the reins to his wife he said hastily, -'Ere, 'Annah, 'old the 'or?e while I 'tend to that bad boy of Dake's." lie seized the whipstock with its long leather thong and strode toward the tree with wrath beaming from his eye. "Come down 'ere," roared the enraged deacon, "and I'll tan your thieving 'ide well for you." Jim never budged, but looked as unconcerned as possible in the direction of the orchard. A second tim the deacon, fairly boiling with rago, bellowed out: "Do you 'car me, you thieving villian? couie down this hinstant." Jim turned sliehtly. but still kept his eye in the direction of the orchard. "Oh4 deacon," he exclaimed, joyously, "I'm so Aaima #\1*1 1 ntwl llnllu glttH JUU It Wlllb, yjk\i have broken the pasture fence and got into the orchard where your fullblooded .Jersey calf is and they have Ijcen worrying the life out of that poor creature. I just climbed up here to watch them, and tell you as soon as you got home." The deacon was just beginning to feci that he had a little .spare money to invest, and blooded cattle had been his dream for years, ami yesterday he had made his lirst investment ol the kind in his Jersey calf. All through the summer this calf had intruded until the j deacon had asked himself seriously if he had set up this cnlf to worship. Though i he knew .Jim would sometimes stretch j the truth, especially if he was in a ti^ht place, still his fear that some harm might come to this first full-blooded creature j that he had ever possessed was of parai mount importance. I "(Jet down here, none of your lies," | yelled the dcacon, a little mollified, though not convinced. "There.'' said the unmoved boy, "old j Dick has just almost kicked the daylight [ out of that poor calf." * A wni' ?(>nt tlw rinnftnn across the siv acre lot at the top of his speed only to find that his Jersey was chewing his cud under a tree and old Dick and Daisy, the staid work-horses, were quietly feeding on their own side of the fence. Jim made a circuit around the dcacon's for months after this. Helen of Troy was over forty when that famous elopement took place. Ten years after, when the fortunes of war restored her to Mcnelaus, he received her with love and gratitude. Cleopatra was past thirty when .she made the con quest of Antony, and Diane de I'oictiers at thirty-six, and for many years afterward, was considered the most beautiful woman at the court of Henry II. of France. Ninon de TEncols received a declaration of love on her eightieth birthday. It is claimed that one can tell when it j is noon by looking at a cat's eyes. This | may be so. but the man who should | hunt around after a cat to tell him when , dinner time has arrived would be considered non compos mentis and no good. Lowell Citizen.

Dr. J. Milner Fothergill predicts a great future for malt as a food. Among other things, he commends lemonade made with malt instead of cane sugar. Acting on a scientific suggestion that neutral tints arc beneficial to the eyesight. an cnternrisinsr German publisher luis just issued a book printed in darkblue ink on pale green paper. Russia's coal fields on the Black sea and in its neighborhood are almost equal ill extent to tliose of Great Britain, but, whereas England produces between 100,000,000 and l.">0,000,000 tons a year, the yield of the Russian coal mines for the last year for which statistics arc attainable, was about 105,000. A table giving the price of gas in ninety-five of the principal cities of the United States shows a total range in price of from ninety cents to ?1 per 1,0<I0 feet. The lowest price is in AVilkesbarre, I'nnn., and 'Wheeling, W.

In speaking of minor ailments connected with digestion, Dr. Lander Hrunton said recently that headaches were usually dependent cither upon the presence of decayed teeth or of some irregularity in the eyes, more especially in the difference of focal lengths between the two. As persons who were subject to hcadachcs in their youth grew older, bilious headache was very apt to be replaced by giddiness, and this changc I came when people needed spectacles. i nannwn " flnVlSfld 1)V XUU IHWU|.UUIV,W|.?, - ^ j , a schoolmaster of the Isle of Man, is a | pair of spectacles in the rim of which arc several micro photographs, each provided with a little magnifying lens.

It is said to be wholly free from danger of fire, and burning kerosene is easily extinguished by it. Pyronaphtha itself can be readily put out by water. It burns with a bright light and gives oil no smoke or vapor, while the fact that it is a resident product of the Baku distillation of petroleum makes it cost less than kerosene. Ad Educated Chimpanzee. I was once the owner of a highly educated chimpanzee, writes Dr. IJrehm, in Popular Sciencr. Monthly. He knew all the friends of the house, all our acquaintances, and distinguished them readily from strangers. Every one treating him kindly he looked upon as a personal friend. lie never felt more comfortable than when he was admitted to the family circle and allowed to move freely around, and open and shut doors, while his joy was boundless when lie was assigned a place at the common table, and the guests admired his natural wit and practical jokes. lie expressed uis satisfaction and thanks to them by drumming furiously on the tabic. In his numerous moments of leisure his favorite occupation consisted in investigating carcfully every object in his reach; he loweicd the door of the stove for the purpose of watching the fire, opened drawers, rummaged boxes and trunks and played with their contents, provided the latter did not look suspicious to him. How easily susp cion was aroused in his mind might be illustrated by the fact tiiat, as long as he lived, he shrank with terror from every common rubber ball. Obedicncc to my orders and attachment to my person, and to everybody caring for him, were among his cardinal virtues, and he bored me with his persistent wishes to accompany me. He knew perfectly his time for retiring, and was | happy when same of us carried him to the bedroom like a baby. As soon as the light was put out he would jump into the bed and cover himself, becausc he was afraid of the darkness. His favorite meal was supper with tea, which he was very fond of, provided it was largely sweetened and mixed with rum. He sipped it from the cup, and ate the dipped bread slices with a spoon, having been taught not to use the fingers in eating; he poured his wine from the bottle and drank it from the glass. A man could hardly behave himself more gentlemanlike at the table than did that monkey. The Age or Horses. A n]ncnlu iilicorvitxr lmrticmnn frivn.H vivov.j .. .. ri-" ? dillercut rules for determining the age of horses, extending to thirteen years. They are as follows: At one year the eolt has a full pot of temporary front teeth, which arc short, round, and very white. At the age of two the colt sheds two center front teeth above aud below, and horse teeth make their appearance. At three four others arc lost, one on each side of the first. At four the corner teeth drop out. At the age of five the new horse teeth at the corners arc up even with the others; the mouth is full and the tushes appear. At six the cavities or cups in the center will be nearly worn away and the tushes are up full, white and sharp. At seven the cups disappear from the front middle teeth, being brown curved lines. At eight the cups arc all out save the corner ones. At nine all the teeth arc full, shut even, and present a fair appearance. At ten the teeth turn yellow or brown, the tushes are cither blunt or very long, the gums shrink away, giving the teeth a larger appearance. At eleven | the teeth are black and foul and the j gums form points between them. At I twelve the upper teeth begin to over! hang the lower ones. At thirteen the front teeth thickcn nnd assume a triangular shape. "When older than this but very little dependence can be put upon the appearance of the mouth. From this period on the teeth grow more foul nnd long, and are worn tlat from side to side, the under lip drops, and the gums appear to dry up aud recede. A horse has forty teeth, twenty-four grinders, four tushes and twelve incisors or nippers. The colt is born with eight double teeth; at about two mouths of . age four more appear, one upon each jaw. At one year four more come, and at the age of two four others, and at three four more, making the mouth full ? twenty-four grinders. A Story of Ingratitude. We lind this story in a New York letter to the S'lnt/tty Onyouin/i: This hotel, by the way, was built on the ground once occupicd by the mansion of Nathaniel Prime, the Jay (Jould of fifty years ago. It may be added, parentheti! cally, this same banker, Prime, once, j when a poor young man, went to a ! Southern plauter 011 a visit at the time j to New York, and asked for a loan of ! $*>,0(i0.

This sum gave Nathaniel Prime his I great start in life and he soon paid the 1 debt. Years rolled on and he became the leading banker of the city. One day the planter, who had befriended him at the outset of his career, camc to him in poverty and asked him for the loan of the same sum that lie had lent i Prime so opportunely. The banker re' membered him well, but asked: "What security can you give?'1 "The word of an honest man," answered the planter, echoiug Prime's own words of years before. "That won't do in Wall street," was the banker's reply. The planter seem dazed by such an answer, and left without a word. The man who was capable of such ingratitude had become a miser, a monomaniac on the subject of money, and in his old age, becoming insane in the midst of wealth over the thought that lie might by some possibility die poor, committed suicide by cutting his throat in his mansion that occupied the site, as already stated, of the present Washington building Pencils are being worn on watch chains again, A CIRCUS ON ITS TRAVELS. HOW THE MODES* SHOW ZS HUH if IK AMERICA. An Army of Employe* ?TIic Various Departmenu?Expense* and Prof- f Its of a Circus. Almost everybody has seen one of the b big shows of the day, but how few know that these huge machines require j, as much administrative and executive talent in its direction as an army in the , field. And armies they really ure. The 1 long torchlight processions scarcely give an idea of their magnitude. Season v <i._ nmrilinr nf nnr .liter season mu ~ r_. sons employed by one circus company is s TOO. Somo of the militia regiments turn out only half that, and what a show two c regiments make! The circus season lasts from the bey inning of March till the latter part of November, and in the meantime less than one-half the full ' strength is retained on the salary list. The agents and heads of departments s must be kept, and also the keepers and 3 trainers of the animals. The performers are engaged for two seasons?that is, c for two years. In the winter time they 1 may take engagements iu Europe or in the variety theatres of the cities and j towns of this continent, sure of regular c employment in the big circus wheu the spring begins. g A generation ago a circus would travel ? from town to town by the road, like Mrs. Jarley's wax-works. Nowadays the railway transports it swiftly from place to n place. But some circuses are much too 0 unwieldy for even the best appointed railway, and therefore have their own c rolling-stock. One circus has eighty- l two railway cars specially adapted to the conveyance of the various parts of-the 1 show. There arc cars specially con- c structcd for the elephants, tigers and other beasts. The cars arc even built f "by the circus." The wheels only and g axlctrecs are made elsewhere. The locomotive power is furnished by the rail road over wmcu inc carnviiu The most powerful engines aro required s for the work, but it has happened oncc I or twice that the railroad people have underestimated the draft and put on f comparatively light locomotives, result- e ing in delay and a monetary los9 to the s circus. Each circus has its general. Talk to ( him of any city or town in the country, ? nnd the thought immediately occurs to ' him: "Ah, yes; a town of $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $12,000, as the case may , be, profit." lie knows almost to a unit . the population aod how much can be made out of it. He knows also the character of the inhabitants, and he is acquainted thoroughly with the railroad 1 and other facilities for getting into the ' place. lie maps out the route at the be- ' ginning of the season, of course changing it us much as possible every year. < There are twenty-four advance agents, ( who follow each other in regular ro- 1 tation. They look after the ad- ] vcrtising, the provender for the animals, the lodgings, and contracts of ( various kinds. These agents arc pro- ( vided with checks. They give checks , on the show for the amounts contracted for. The treasurer takes up and pays the checks so that when the dhow arrives it . has no trouble in any direction. It has happened a few times that the firm has , been swindled, but it never refuses to honor a check, "to keep up the creditof the circus." Not one of the great exchanges is better posted as to the mono- j tary condition of any town or city than the managers of the circus. The circus managers will know it is useless going into a place where there is much commr-miiil denression. The characteristics of a town arc studied before going into It. For instance, it is known when the miners of Pittsburg arc paid oiT, and right on top of the event comes the "show." It very rarely happens that a miscalculation is made, but if money is lost anywhere that placc is given a wide berth next season. The weather, too, is watched almost as carefully as it is by the signal-service bureau. The circus never goes further south than Omaha, Ivansns City, and St. Paul, Minn. There is no money outside of those limits. The great aim of the circus is to strike fair weather everywhere. "When it is extremely cold in the North the circus is enjoying the warmth of the South, and the dollars of the genial Southeners. When it becomes too hot in the South then it wends its way in the opposite direction. The army of employes is divided into five divisions?the performers, the ring attendants, the stable and menagerie attendants, the trainmen (in circus parlance "razor backs"), ana tticcanvusmcn. The canvasmen number 200 out of 700? a large number, but not too many to cope with the huge tent which is put up in the country. On the trains there is a special placc for everything and everybody. Indeed, the traiumcn could load the train almost blindfolded, the arrangements are so precise, and have been so long in smooth-working order. The canvasmen arc the first to be packed off. They touch nothing until the teamsters have arrived on the new ground with the canvas, and then when the tent is up, they set down and just watch the others "doing their bit." So it is with the trainmen when they have loaded or unloaded the cars, they will not put a hand to anything else, and perhaps if they did they would be only in the way. Every employe has a special duty to perform and floes not consider himself engaged for anything outside of that. One of the heaviest items in the expenses is the bill lor advertising. The huge colored posters seen everywhere in the vicinity of the show arc costly. The advertisement bill in the season averages daily if2,700. Yet the expenditure results in a good return. The salaries vary all the way from $10 to $."500 a week. The 'stars' provide their own costumes and apparatus. The following arc some of the items in the expense bill of one circus, which will give an idea of the magnitude of the great American show: Seven advertising ears, thirty men on each costing $1,000 each per week to run. They post bills in towns and distribute small bil's. Two hundred canvas men, salary from $ JO to >(!0 per mouth and board. Ten "bosses'' at $100 to $'300 per month, beside grooms, hostlers, proj?erty men, etc. Twenty canvas men for the dressing-room tent. Twenty canvas men for the side-show tent. Seventy-live teamsters and drivers, from $40 to 50 per month. Forty train men, from $25 to ?35 per month. Animal trainers and attendants, from $15 to $50 per week. Circu^nnds, $1,000 per week. Wheelwrights, blacksmiths, wardrobe girls barbers, and tent-sewers, from $ 10 to $'Jo per week. The male performers in the ring receive from *loo to il'K) our week: ladies from $100 to SJijO per week. Hippodrome mnlo and female jockoys, from -SV.l to ?'if> per week. There is a cook tent, with fifty-five waiters, | who serve Khj meals daily to the hands. The I agents and performers board at the hotels, where contracts have been made. The transportation on the railroads costs from $:!00 to ^VHJ ]>er day. Horses are earned t<> draw the cages to the exhibition grounds from where the trains unload. All the costumes of the subordinate! arc furnished by the management. One} linn of hatters in this city has a standing contract for the supply of head gear. The post of costiunicre is an important one. In the winter she employs a corps of sewing girls in New York, and new designs are invented for tlie coining season. The curiosities must be appro- i priately attired, and the fashions prevailingin Timbuctoo. the Soudan, Circnssia ' or the ward or precinct in which the red j man of America disports himself, must 1 be faithfully followed. Most of the j ' material is purchased in New York, ex- {i cept that which the naked savage ' brings along with him, and Dame I Nature supplies that. In the j 1 season the costumcr selects some of the i seamstresses, and they travel with the I I circus to keep tlio costumes in repair ana ; ( make necessary alterations. After a per- ' i formnncc the subordinates hand over j j I their gay attire to the costume bureau, ) : the superintendent of which is rcsponsi- i ble for tlie clothing. 1 t At the end of the season thcctiriosi- J i tics?all the two-footed, and most of the j 1 four footed?are hired out to the mil- '' scums, and in this way a little revenue is j s obtained. The profit and loss account ' 1 is obtained. The profit and loss account {" is made up at the end of the winter, !

The Use of Tobacco. Cigars were not known until about : 1815. Previous to that time pipes were j used exclusively. Chowing had been in j vogue to a limited extent forsomo time, j while snuffing dates back almost as far | as smoking. The first package scut to Catharine de | iMedici was in fine powder. She found ! that smelling it in the box affected her | similarly to smoking, which led her to j fill one of her smelling bottles with the | dust. Her courtiers adopted the habit j of snuffing small portions of it up the i nostrils, and ns the precious snulf be- j came more plentiful the snuffing habit j became more genoral, until at last a man or woman was not considered as in i proper form unless theysnulled. The custom became so common in ; England that a snuff-box was no longer a sign of rank. Then it was the law | prohibiting the culture of the plant, except for medicine, was passed. About the same tiir.c a heavy tariff was placed on the imported article, thereby practically placing it beyond the reach of the commen herd and giving royalty a complete monopoly. . Since it first began to be used as a luxury there have been conflicting opinions in regard to its clTects. The liomish church once forbade its use, and j the Church of England declaimed j against it. The Wcslcys opposed it i hotly, and at one time it was considered ! so unclean as to unfit men for member- ! ship in the Methodist church. baptist and Presbyterian ministers { preached against it and societies were I organized to oppose the spread of the j habit, but all to no purpose. Parents J disowned and disinherited their children | Because they used it, and husbands , divorced their wives on account of their having contractcd the habit of smoking. It is singular that when women get into the habit of smoking a pipe they prefer a strong one. There arc lew j men who have nerve to sinokc a pipe 1 such as a woman likes when she has become a confirmed smoker. When they first begin pulling cigars they prefer them very mild, but it is not long until ! they want them black and strong and! lots of them.?IHUabury Dispatch. A Queer Town. Tcxarkana is a novelty. I never knew until now where its long, curious name came from, Texas and Arkansas, and it is all right, for the State line splits the j town in two. This line docs not run i with the streets, but diagonally ana rignc through the business houses and private residences, so that when the merchant is behind his counter in Texas his customers are in Arkansas. I thought that ' there would be some conflict of laws, and there is some, especially about crime, but these people all unite in everything lor the good of Texarkana, and the criminals ' :an't dodge over the line to do any good.

[ Best Frielid If You Telephone For the doctor, and find he is out of town, just ask your 1 . druggist to send you a bottle of j Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It will relieve all those tired feelings, and prevent serious ill- j ness. Mrs. M. M. Lewis, A street, near , To fell, Loircll, Mass.: I suffered from Hcadache, In?liyc?tion, ami Debility, ami j was hardly able to drag myself about the I house. Ayer's .Sarsaparilla has worked a J marvelous chanue in mv ease. I have j taken less than two bottles, aud now fed ; j strong and well as ever. i i Mrs. S.

It la ilie great Blood Parlfler and Life firing Principle; a Gentle Purgative and Tonic; a perfect Renovator and Invlgorator of the system, Never before in tbehlstoij of the world has a medicine been compounded posaeasinf tba Af VntsoAR Binm in neal* in* the tick of rvery dlseo*e maa is beir to. The Alterative, Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Sedative, '?. Counter-Irritant. Sudorific, Anti-Bilious, Solvent, Diuretic and Tonic properties of VnrzOAR Bittsbs exceed those of any other medicine in the world. Pfo person am take the Brrrrss according to directions and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. Bilious, ltemlttent, Intermittent and r Malarial Fevers, are prevalent throughout the United States, particularly In the valleys of our great rivers and their vaet tributaries during the Summer and Autumn, especially during seasons of unusual heat and dryness. Theie Fevers are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach, liver and bowels. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these organs, la absolutely necessary. There Is no cathartic for the purpoea oqual to Dr. J. Wamir's VnanuH Sirmi, as it will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the aecretiobs of the liter, and generally restoring the healthy functions ox , ' the digestive orgsns. * Fortify the body against disease by purifying oil ita fluids witn Viheoui Bittcrs. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. It Inrlgoratea the Stomach and stimulates the torpid liver and Bowels, which reader It of unequalod efficiency in cleansing the blood of all impurities, imparting new life and rigor to the frame, and carrying off without the aid of Calomel, or other mineral medicine, every particle of poisonous matter from the system. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain In the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Stomach. Bad Tartein the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs. Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.

Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, Walker's Vixkjaji Bimua has shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and Intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent j Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, the Bitters have no equal. Such Dis- ; eases are caused bv Vitiated Blood. Mechanical JDIaoaacn.?Persons enraged !n Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Typesetters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walter's Vineaar Bitters. For Skin Diaeaaea, Eruptions, Tetter, 8alt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples. Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itcn, Scurfs. Discolorations, Humors and diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of the Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Wormi, lurking in the sTBtem of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free the system from worms like tho Bitten. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at tho dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, this Bitters has no equal. Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood whenever vou find its Impurities burstiog through the slda in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores: cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins: cleanse it when it io foul: your feelings will tell you when. Keepth* blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. In conclusion : Give the Bitters atrial. It will speak for itself. One bottle is a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Around each bottle aro full directions printed in different languages. R.
