' By Jove! that miserable tailor is
enough to drive a man crazy," criec
Judge Henry Winkler desperately, noi
knowing whether to curse or laugh. 11<
paced the room as he spoke, like a cagec
animal. Poor fellow! llis anger wai
not unreasonable as he strode up ant
down the limited space, his hair dressei
and perfumed, and attired in shinin:

Henry Winkler was to be married at 1:
o'clock, sharp, to his adored Aurclia, ii
one of the most fashionable churches
The tailor had promised him to delive
his dress suit at his apartments at 1'
o'clock, and now it was cjuite 11 :t'0, ant
Mr. "Winkler stood arrayed in spotlcs
white and there were no signs of a swal
low-tail anywhere!
"Do you know what I would do?"
ventured an officious groomsman, wh<
had come to cscort the judge to church
"I would just put on my morning coa
and start at once. 1 do believe tha
this will be the very best thing you cai
uu just uu?.
"Bring mc a hatful of last year's hail
but pray do not mention my morning
coat, nor put in a plea for my trousers.'
cried Winkler, laughing wildly. "Om
can see the sunshine through my coat
and leaving out such trifles as style am
cut, my trousers, which were black tei
years ago, are now of such a hue as t<
be totally indescribable. Man is alway
a laughable object Avhen he is gettin;
married,even at his best; but if 1 arra;
myself as you suggest I am half afrait
that Aurelia would say 'No' instead o
'Yes' when we meet at the altar."
"But what is to be done?"' urged tin
groomsman. "What can you do? It i
gettiug late. Did you not say that tlv
tailor said 10 o'clock. See, it is 11:30,1
cried Charley Held, nervously.
"lie certainly said 10 o'clock," th
judge answered, solemnly.
"Weil, suppose we send for your dres
suit?'' said Charley.
"What are you dreaming of?" returnee
the judge. "It would take more thai
an hour for any messenger to <fet frou
here to the tailor shop."
"You are right,"sighed Charley. "Bu
tell mc what was your reason for order
ing your wedding clothes so late? The;
should have been here a week ago. Wh
were you so foolish?"
"I was foolish to trust to that beast o
a tailor. I always put oil things unti
the very last moment, and now I am ti
be punished, 1 suppose," and Hcnr
Winkler threw himself into an arm-chair
"Look at my new dress suit," sail
Charley Held, smoothing his coat dowi
in front of a long dressing glass
"Doesn't it lit me well? Oh, 1 wa
smarter than you, judge, for my dres
suit was ordered in <;ood time and sen
homo a week ago. I had it made ex
pressly to wait on you."
"Your lecture may be very amusing,
groaned the judge, "but it fails to kce]
mc out of this muddle."
Suddenly the judge bounded up fron
the arm chair, grasped the astonishe*
uuariey dv inc snouiucrs, ana iookcu a
him fixedly, while lie cried:
"But you can help mc if you will, ol<
fellow. I sec that you can be of th

"I," answered the surprised friend
' "What on earth can I do to help yot

"But you will see your way. Look ii
the glass, my dear boy. See how wi

"Well, what of that?" asked Charley
as the judge devoured his figure witl
his large brown eyes.
"Don't you see, iny dearest friend,
how you can help me? Why, you 1111131

impetuously.
"What could Mr. Held do! lie gave

called the judge's attention to his drcs<
ait, but some one had to suffer, evi
dentlv, and so Charley resigned hi;
new clothes to his enraptured friend.
It took Judge Winkler but a moment
to slip into the dress suit, and soon lx
had arrived at the church, c^cortcd b;
the faithful Charley, who had donnec
the perforated morning coat and th<
despised trousers. Winkler was the
happiest of men, and Charley one o
the faddest, as he walked up the r.isl<
with the lovely Berthi on his arm, a
whom he dared not look, for fear she
would break off her engagement witl
him. An hour later the newlv-marriec
pair went in the cars steaming away t<
Greenwald, where they were to pass thei
honeymoon. The judge had bribed th<
guard to give them a separate carriage
lie had thrown off his overcoat aud sa
with his arm around his wife, pressing
her tight against Charley Ileld's dies:
coat.
"My dear husband, did you not as
sure me that you never smoked?" tlx
newly-wed spouse demanded.
"You arc certainly right, my littli
darling," the judge replied- "I neve
smoke."
' Well, what is that in your coa
pocket?" the girl asked, smiling.
"It is nothing but my note book,'
the judge answered.
P"A note-book, indeed," cried Mra
Winkler. "I will bet anythiug it is i
cigar-case."
About half a minute later the youn:
wife had thrust her nimble fingers it
her husband's pocket and had drawn ou
a real, true cigar case, and such a cigar
case?all embroidered and perfumed
and bearing 0:1 its back this inscription
"To my dearest."
Casting an angry and astonished looli
at her husband, .Mrs. WinKlor said:
'"What made you deny the fnct thai
you smoked? Did you thiuk I would
be displeased? lint tell me,"she added,
in a changed voice, "who embroidered
this case for you?"
"Now I am in a predicament,"' the
judge thought to himself, and laughed
nervously, at which his wife seemed
to regard him with increased displeasure.
"This cigar ease belongs to a friend of
mine," he stammered.
"This is a pretty tale," cried Mrs.

of the card-case a perfumed, pink-hued
note, folded in a lover's knot. The cars
stopped for a while, and Judge Winkler
left the train that tie might procure some
fruit for his bride. While the judge
was absent his wife utilized his absence
in perusing the note, which ended with,
"Your always loving IJertha."'
This capnert the climax. Here she
was ou her wedding tour, just beginning
life with a man who could deceive her
so shamefully. She was almost wild
with anger and pain. When Judge
Winkler returned with the lunch his
wife would not speak to him. She had
taken another seat and refused even to
look at him. As the train approached a
second stopping place Judge Winkler,
almost beside himself, exclaimed: "Aurclia,
you must listen?you must answer
me! Speak, and let me hear how I have
had the misfortune to offend my soul's
idol!"
Aurelia seated herself opposite her
husband. She looked him stra'ght in
the eyes and said: "I intend to leave
you at the next station."

"Great heaven! you surely do not j

you, what has happened anil how I have i

now thoroughly astonished.
"I sliall leave you and return to my i
parents in Berlin," the young wife said, I
bursting into tears.
"What for? What have I done?" asked :
the bewildered judge, |
"You arc ahypocrite, a traitor, a fiend, j
You have broken your poor wife's heart ;
and made a miserablo woman out of a j
trusting bride," the girl cried, weeping
bitterly.
"Mv dear girl, calm yourself?tell me |
what is the matter. Only speak, I beg

excitcment.
J "Dearest love?" he began.
"I am not your dearest love," cried
' Amelia. "It is your'always loving Hcr

"Hut I have no 'always loving Hcrtha,'"
echoed the judge. "You must lie

"I wish to heaven I was cra/.v; then I
would be deaf to your villainy," cried
Aurelia. Here, take your love letter
and let me go," she said, handing him
5 the rose colored note. The judge
glanced at the note, and, laughing wildly,
lie struck his forehead with his open
hand.
"I sec it all now!" he cried. "This, '

"It is,'' replied the general. "The

p she could not except in my p: e-ence, and
i that I was at home ili. She carried in
her hand a beautiful bouquet of nses.

AN ESQUDIAJTSODD HOUSE.
THE "IGLOO" WHICH HE BUILDS OP
SNOW BLOCKS.
Sclcrtintr n Silc After ti I?ny*s Journey
wltli a Dour Team?Feeding1 ?l?e
IlmiL'rv Canines.
In an article in the New York Times
describing the daily routine of an Esquimau's
life, Lieutenant Schwatka tells
how the "igloo" is built at the end of a
day's journey, lie says:
The two conditions necessary for a
good camp are water and 5,now; that is,
near a fresh water lake or river where
water can be procured by digging
through the ice, and deep snow banks
of such quality that it will make good
material for a snow house or, as the na
tives call it, our igloo. In a very hilly
country, especially one of a granitic
formation, arctic lakes and rivers arc numerous,
very deep, and therefore seldom
frozen to the bottom, consequently almost
any of them may he depended upon
to furnish sullicient water. As the country
becomes more level the chances decrease.
In prospecting the Esquimau
throws himself ilat 0:1 the ice at full
length, and where no snow covers it he
presses his llat pug nose against it, and
by some varying peculiarity of the hues
he can tell pretty closely whether it is
frozen to the bottom or not. He is mis
taken now and then, however, and after
digging through six or seven feet of
ice lie finds to his disgust that
there is nothing but line mud at the bottom.
I have known six holes to be dug
on one lake with this result. In such
cases snow or ice must be melted. This
process consumes more oil and postpones
the evening meal about an hour. Where
oil is plentiful, as on short journeys, and
time is no object, the subject of water
is not so important, but it is seldom 011 j
a long journey that both these conditions
are in a party's favor. Hc'ieving there
is water in a lake, the travelers have I
reached, and a good day's journey having
been performed, the spot on the lake
where the snow houses will be built depends
on the best snow for that purpose.
.1 ?,.,i 1,,. ectui-r or
an iron rod two or three feet long and
about the diameter of a lead pencil,
with which thev prod the snow at its
greatest depths along the shores of the
lake. By this test they can determine
its consistency not only on the surface,
but as deep as they will need to cut it in
making the blocks for the snow house.
Snow that looks well on the surface may
be worthless for building purposes a few
inches below, and a bank of loose snow
may cover a compact one of splendid
texture for these curious snow houses. I
have seen them, however, m od all around
the rim of a lake half a mile across, and
then be compelled to move on to the
next. When the first one who fiiius a
good place gives a shout indicating that
he has been successful in his prodding,
he leaves his stick standing upright in
the snow to mark the spot, and with the j
others brings the dogs and sledges to the j
building site, and operations are com- i
menccd on these hyperborean dwellings, j
Imagine a brick painted white and in- i
creased in size about three or four times, I
then you will have a snow block. Take j
a spiral course of these snow blocks as- |
cending, and each one leaning a little 1
more than its previous fellow, |
until the last one, in the top, is j
perfectly level, and the whole structure, j
leaving out the clnnKs mm cracKS uc j
twcen blocks, looking like the half of an !
cgir shell, and you have an igloo. We :
had three of these igloos built evenevening
for our party of nearly ^0 souls, I
and this buiiding occupied about an I
hour. Half an hour is passed in prospecting
for water and good snow, halfj
an hour is consumed in completing the '
snow bed inside and spreading thereon
the reindeer skins for the bed, the fixing j
up of the lamp and kettle with the lire i
burning, and one hour is passed in cook- I
ing the fooil.
j When the building site has been i
selec ted a couple of ihe party, generally ;
nearly full-grown boys, proceed to dig j
[ the well through the thick ice to the
fresh water underneath. Operations are |
[ commenced with two tools, an ice scoop ,
| and an ice chisel. The ice scoop is a |
musk ox ladle, fastened to the end of a j
light pole about ten feet long, the latter j
being a chisel or a sharpened bolt on a (
similar poie. A hole is cut in the ice :
about a foot and a half in diameter and j
about six or eight inches deep with Ihe
ice chisel, and the chopped ice formed in ;
this operation is taken out with the icc
scoop and deposited alongside the well.
This alternation of cutting v.itu use
chisel and removing with tlie scood is |
kept up until the water is reached, four to j
six or seven feet below. The greatest !
depthwe ever had to dig was ci^ht feet ;
and fourinclics on a small lake where we l
thought getting water at all was very j
doubtful. One object in keeping tli's I
hole or well of a good diameter is that if j
: ny salmon exist in the lake or river they
can be caught with a hook and line |
through it, this being a pleasant duty of
the boys and old women, who thus often
catch a good meal of these delicious lisli. I
The iirloo completed and a snow bed j
made inside about two feet hiiyh, the ;
sledge is unloaded, and the reindeer j
skins spread on the show be I, the first [
layer, of untanncd o!;es, being hair side
down and the next of soft skins, being \
hair side up, on which the natives sleep j
without clothing. If during the day :
the sledge has upset or the wind has ,
been drifting the snow, or in any way
the snow could have gotten on the reindeer
skins at the top of the load, they
arc thoroughly beaten with a snow stick
kept for that purpose. It is this peculiarity
which distinguishes reindeer skins
from all other arctic fur?the ease with ;
which snow, however damp, can be re- j
moved from it by this process. The
lamp's lire f;oing, while waiting for 1 he j
meal to cook it is customary for all the!
party to partake of half a pound to a I
pound each of raw fro/.en meat, after the !
manner of the midday lunch.
If the dogs have not been fe 1 for two
or three days it will be now in order to
give them their semi weekly feeding,and
this requires a good deal of time and
patience. They are only fed once even
other day even when the canine hrder is
amply supplied and they arc doing their
hardest work, while on long journeys,
where an ample larder occurs only at
rare intervals, the times of feeding arc
more likely to be every third and even
fourth day. And when fed every other
day, if the food is ample,they will jxo indefinitely
on the hardest work and retain
theirguodcondition. Oncof the hard cst
things for the dog driver to manage
is the feeding of his animals so as to give
each one his share, which is seldom all
they want to cat. If the food is cut up
into little bits, so that the dogs can swallow
it at a gulp or two, and spread upon
the ground or snow, the little ones will
get nearly all of it, for the first reception
of food is always greeted by the big ones
belligerently,indulging in ail unnecessary
squabble to determine supremacy, and
while this is going on the little ones are
as busy as chickens picking up the bits.
2\othin<r can be more comical than to
sec a leeding of this kind
among a large band of dogs, for by the
time the huge fe'lows arc through lighti
ig, the food has disappeared, and you
sec them go smelling around the ground
in the most foolish lookinir manner, with
a look of disgust on their faces as if they
were wondering what they were lighting
about anyway, the little ones forming a
circle at a respectful distance, licking
their chops gleefully, while you imagine
you can almost see them wink at each
other at the good joke thev hive played
on their larger brethren, hungry are
the dogs at all times that a small igloo |
is built alongside the living one in which j
to store the sledge lashings, dog harness '
and everything of the nature of skins
and leather, or even cloth covered with
grease or blood, for could they get at
them the ravenous beasts would tear them
to pieces. The dogs fed, the evening
meal of cooked meat and soup disposed
of as at breakfast time, the tired travelers
turn in between their robes of reindeer
to rest from the day's exertions,
having first put some, inflammable material
near them to light from a little flame
left burning at one comer of the lamp?
this to be thrust through the top of the
igloo should any hungry wolves make a
descent on their dogs to kill and cat them

Freaks of Watches.
A lady scdiool teacher ha* a delicately t
made Fiitle Swiss watch set in a brace- L
let. The face of it is about the si/.e of a r

on the under side of the bracelet next s
to the aim. In fact it se's right over the hi
young lady's ])ulsc, and the watch is the il
wonder and admiratiou of all her friends, t
But the little watch never did keep time, I
though it cost live hundred francs in a
Paris. The jeweler to whom it was I
canicd (old the lady that she ought not t
to expect a watch the size of a peanut to c
keep time. One workman said such ti
small watches had to be bought on the ti
principle of a chance in a grab bag, as s'
they sometimes turned out good time si
pieces and at o'hers were wholly unre- fi
liable. The young lady noticed, how- r;
ever, that whenever she loaned her live f
hundred francs bracelet to her sister the c
watch kept much better time, and when si
she kept it locked up in her jewel case it d
kept the time almost as well as an orrti- b
nary timepiece. A well known phvsi

The greatest balloon feat that I ever ((
u'itnnoenrl cnvc n \vrifr?** in tlu* Philnflnl- I ...
phia Time*, was in September, 18o?. i'p- C(
ward of lo.OOO people were :tt Lemon ^
hill and along the banks of the Schuylkill
to see M. Godard go up in a balloon alonu
with his brother and drop the latter out
from among the clouds in a parachute.
It is said that the feat had never been at* jj
tempted before in the history of balloon- ,i(
ing, it was a startling novelty, and the
people crowded to see it. When the
balloon sailed gracefully upward outside ^
of the inclosine M. Godard and two Jj
friends were in the basket, while below j:
.M. K. Godard, his brother, was seated ())
upon a small b'.rof wood attached to the |)(
parachute. It looked like an immense urn*
brella. The balloon went over the Schuyl- |(|
kill in a southwesterly direction, and .(j
after it had reached an altitude of about (j.
('?,()()') feet began to slowly descend. 0<
Then the parachute began to expand. a,
When within about :!,0U0 feet of the
earth the coril was cut and the para- ^
chute rapidly descended, with Godard ?;
hanging on the bar. The balloon shot js
upward again. The descent of the para* tj,
chute was keenly watched by the thous* jj,
nnds of snerliitors mid ni:inv nxnnrtnd .
to sec the tlarinir man dashed to tlie = 0j
earth in the twinkling of an eye. It was j ;l
observed, however, that the rearer to !
earth the parachute came the descent I
was slow and easy. At last the man and j 0,
his big umbrella faded out of sight over
the hills, and we learned next morning j jf
that he came down all right on his feet, w
like a cat, about a half-mile west of the C(
old Hell lavern on the Darby road. The ! S(
balloon landed in Ue'awae county, near '
the Philadelphia line. Godard and his I (j(
br.ither were Frenchman. They returned jj|
to their native country, and, I believe,
were valuable to their countrymen dur- ; .,]
ing the Franco-Prussian war. (iambetta i

IFE IN PETTICOAT LANE.
VISIT TO THE HAT7STS OP LOKDOIT'S
CRIMINAL CLASSES.

Iwmii Prnlxrlpil from UnTIIli
One of the very worst districts of Lonon
(probably the very worst, now that
i'atteii garden is no more'), writes a Lonon
correspondent of the St. Louis Post>iKj)tt(c/i,
is that long, narrow lane, witli
s neighborhood, known to the initiated
3 "Petticoat" lane?to the uniniatcd as
[iddlesex street.
The dangerous classes of London and
aris differ in one most essential respect
om the sainc kind of people in Ameriii.
Probably the very worst slums of
'cw York contain no creatures whose
riminal genealogy dates baclc beyond
:ic or two generations.
London, 0:1 the contrary, was a great
ity prior to the discovery of America.
Is slums reckon their age by centuries,
liilc the inh ibitan:s are the result of
>nggenerations of depravity, and could,
ere it fashionable in those localities to
cep a family tree, trace their descent in
rime back from father to son for many
enerations. Petticoat lane has one feaire
peculiar to itself. That is the great
unday market from which Ka^r Fair
ikes its name. On week days the
eighborhood is nearly deserted, at
ight almost equally so. The crimlal
tendencies of Petticoat lane arc
ot of a noisy or demonstrative sort,
'his is the srreat criminal manufactory
f the world. Here the most dangerous
lieves, housebreakers, and murderers
raduate and serve their apprcnticcsbi; s,
vc, and die. Many of them are utterly
nknown to the policc save by name and
lie clicets of their life work. Scores ol
liem have never been seen by moital eye
tiier tlia.i their "pals." Ilcre the Fagins
f London society ply their trade.
In al! appearances Middlesex street is
nc of the quietest streets in London,
iccasionally, however, a knot of villainus-looking
men will gather in some corer
of the street, talking in low tones,
nd in a language as unintelligible, to
rdinarv mortals a3 Sanscrit. At night
lie whole neighborhood is dark, silent,
nd deserted. Now and then the sound
f a scullle is heard in one of which the

ilent, though frequently the bloodtained
sidewalk is a silent witness to
chat has happened. But few lights appear
in the windows, and no suspicious
haraclcr is ever seen issuing from the
oors.
Into the houses which line cach side
f .Middlesex street, and fill the court?
nd alloys within the arms of that great
ioss, no one save the inhabitants or the
iolicc in trios and quartettes have
ver set foot. Yet, stay, there is
ne person who is always welomc,
and whom the vilest and
lost murderous ruflian would protect
dth his life, and that is the doctor. The
iihabitants of London slums have learned
hat in the epidemics which now and
gain?almost every year, in fact?rage
nth the fury of the plagues of old anions
he denizens of those filthy and overrowded
houses, a doctor is a necessity.
Ylien wounded and bleeding, as the rc
ult of some unholy midn'ght raid, the
lodern Hill Sykes Hies, like a wounded
tag, to his covert, death will surely en
ue unless a doctor can be persuaded tc
iikc the case in haud. It is a religior
fith London heathens?the only oni
hey know, save the honor that exists
mong thieves?to protect the doctor.
Protected by two policemen in uni
orra and a cictcctivc m piain clonics,
lie writer of this artie'e once made I
liigrimage through all that was visible
f five of these houses. They were nol
he worst, for into those nothing short ol
orce could gain admission, but thej
k'cre very bad. In two of them the policc
howed a large trap in the floor. It was
o built ;is lo be (|iiite invisible. At the
ouch of a spring in the wall some div
ancc oil the slal) (lew downward, dislosing
a well, whose dcj?tli we had nc
ueans of ascertaining. A stone do
cended insilencc for many seconds, and
hen came a loud splash! The liendisl
ontrivance is for the benefit of spies. A
terson entering a ho;!se whom the inhab
tants suspect, or wi?h to be rid of, is
nticed on the invisible slab.
Hut Middlesex street on week-day, nnd
lie same thoroughfare on Sunday, posesses

o general merchandise, and the cross(reels
to second-hand clothing cxcluively.
The stolen goods of the week
roin all quarters appear in tempting arty.
Every species of merchandise,
uod. clothing, books and live stock,
very style of chilling, from a priest's
irplice to a seedy frock coat, from a
uchess' toilet to a child's pinafore, may

At 12 o'clock sharp ail Sunday fairs

Slam's Sacred White Elephants.
None of the colorcd lithographs of the
white elepliauts of Siam,. says a Bangkok
letter to the New York Sun, convey
even the remotest idea of their color or
general appearance. Thcic is only one
respect in which white elephants can be '
said to agree, or in which writers arc in
anything like accord. The so-cidlcd
white, gray, red, or "oft" color is supposed
to be the result of some unhealthy
condition of the animal, corresponding
to what is called in man and beasts the
albino type. There is in this type a correspondence
of color ic the eye, which
is a pinkish yellow, or in the white cleI

| Naples yellow." It is not a point, howi
ever, of which many persons, for obvii
otis reasons have ever made a profound
study.
The subject of white elephant}, the
esteem aud reverence in which they have
for many acres been held, the wars and
political changes they have caused, the
splendid ceremonial with which they arc
tometimes surrounded, and even a record

matter of very remarkable interest. Every
writer who has visited Siam, cither in
an otlicial capicity or as a literary tourist,
has written about them either with
uninteresting copiousness or with unsatisfying
brevity. " Among the titles wlrch
I'owiing says have been given to them
were, "The Glory of the World," "The
Eaith Leveller," and "The liadiancc of
, the World." In 1.147 three white cle!
phants were captured, in 1518 four,
j so that the then king of Siam pos!
I sessed seven, aud all the nations <
.! of the world camc to do him
j honor. This number seeming superilu- j
ous to tlic king of Pega, he begged two (
| of them, and when the modest request
j was .rctuitd lie brought against his par- .
j simor.ious rival an army of '.100,000 men,
| with 7,000 elephants and 1/3,000 horses,
and took from him not onlv his sacrcd
. pachyderms but his kingdom. When
the white elephant died, soon after Howring's
vis-it, the king of Siam sent some
. j of his hairs to (.Jucen Victoria as in 111s
eyes the most priceless of gifts. SomeI
times not more than one white elephant
; j is caught in a year. Sometimes several
years pass without a capture, though the
royal honors heaped on the lucky finder
| stimulate the people of the elephant
t districts to increasing vigilance. It
, seems as if, owing to the rapidly cnl
'hancing price of ivory and the slaughter
of the elephant for spott or other reasons.
like the buffalo it is destined to
. speedy extinction. White monkeys used
, to be common about the royal stables.

j Making Cigarettes.
"IIow many cigarcttcs can a girl make
. in a day?'' was asked of a manufacturer
recently.
: j '-That depends upon how nimble her
fingers are. A smart, quick girl cau
make about 3,."500. The pay is from
seventy to eighty cents per 1,030, ac'
cording to the grade of cigarcttcs made.
1 There are very few girls who can make
more than 2,003 per day. Making the
> cigarettes looks easy enough, but if you
i should try it you would lind it very hard
: and tedious. When a girl coes to her
> work in the morning she receives a small
bundle of papers and two and threequarter
pounds of tobacco, from which
, she must make 1,000 cigarettes. A small
i piece of extra heavy paper about twice
! the size of a cigarette paper is used in
t rolling a cigarette. One edge is pasted
f fast tn a niece of marble or smooth flat
' stone about one foot square that is on a
! j table. A stiik about a foot in length
i | anil about as thick as 2 match is used to
j paste with. The paste is made of pure
starch and water. The cigarette p:iper
1 is laid 011 the heavy paper, and a small
? quantity of tobacco is put 011 it. Then
the edge of the heavy paper is turned
I over, aud, by sliding the flat of the hand
1 over it, the cigarette is rolled. Then the
.. paste slick is run over otic edge of the
cigarette paper, and one more roll coin!
! pletes the cigarette. After the ends are
j cut oil it is ready for 1 he trade.

Approaching Earthquake?.
The earthquake slioeks which were
. felt last week over a wide area in Yorkshire
remind us that an authority on the
subject of those phenomena, M. Delaui
; nay, of Paris, is of opinion that next
i | year will sec the recurrence of upheavals
. j of the earth's crust in an intensified form.
[ M. Dclaunay is a prophet of evil, but
unfortunately all his prophecies have
hitherto come true. Ilis specialty is
earthquakes, and lie predicts them only
, tco surely. In 1877 he announced that
[ that year would not conclude without
; disturbances of the earth, and as a mat[
tcr of fact, two frightful catastrophes011
the coasts of South Americ.i followed.
In 1883 M. Dclaunay again pointed to
approaching earthquakes, and soon
alter the volcanic eruptions in the Indian
archipelago occurred, by which thousands
of human beings lost their lives,
. and hundreds of square miles of terratirma
were engulfed by the sea. Toward
. the end of last year M. Dclaunay once
more raised his warning voice, and the
earthquakes in Spain proved how well
founded were his warnings. Quite recently
he has prophesied very severe volcanic
disturbances for 18fU>. Having
acquired a well-merited notoriety in
foretelling earthquakes, some weight
' ought to be attached to -M. jjeiaunay s
uttcrnnccs. lie affirms that next year
. the.'e natural phenomena will be of a
very intense character, and that they will
show themselves either when the earth
is under the direct influence of a planet
of tha lirst rank, such as Jupiter, or
under that of a group of asteroids, or
at a time when sun and moon are nearest
to our planet at the same time.?

Swedish Manners.
One great peculiarity of traveling in
Sweden is the extreme quiet and lack of
[ Hurry. ilic frwcuisn arc n taciturn aim
noiseless people. They do much by
I signs, and never shout; a Swedish crowd
I makes singularly little sound. Swedes,
j even of the lowest class, never push or
jostle. It is the custom to do so much
bowing and hat lifting that one is
obliged to move more slowly than in
I Kngiand to give time for all this couri
tesv. When a train leaves a platform, ,
! or a steamboat a pier, all the lookers on
I lift their hats to the departing passcnj
gcrs and bow to them, a compliment re- {
j turned bv the travelers. If you address ,
the poorest person in the streets you <
must lift your hat. A gentleman pass- i
j ing a lady on the stairs of a hotel must j
j do the same. To enter a shop or a bank
I with one's hat on is a terrible breach of i
I good manners. If you enter or leave a l
| colfee loom you must bow to all the oo- 1
I cupants. Passengers on board the little J
steamers which ply about Stockholm in- ,
f variably raise their hats to the occupants
i of any other boat which passes near ,
| them. The very men in charge of the <
j locks mi the canal bow politely to the
sailors as the boats go through. Imagine

founded upon delusions, as, little by lit1

THE HYGIENE OF KISSES.
"Chawtey, dear," said a lovely maid,
As thev sat in the house one night.
"It's unhealthy to kiss the doctors say,
So, of course, it cannot be righ%

"Well, darling," spoke the noblo youth,
As the color mantled hi^b,
"I never thought being kissed to daath

Men Wlio Drag Carriages.
Trot, trot, trot, along the smooth,
sunny, but bamboo shaded high road, I
have a little leisure now to observe these
astonishing rickshaw coolies. They wear,
the enormous traditional mushroom
Chinese hat, suitable in case either of
beating rain or fierce sun, under which
are tucked their hard-plaited pigtails?
for even n coolie would feci himself disgraced
were lie minus a pigtail. They
are bare-footed, bare-legged,bare-armed,
and wear just sufficient rags to save
themselves from the charge of indelicacy.
Their skins arc sallow, their Mongolian
fnccs are pinched, their stature is small,
their limbs seem attenuated and loosely
put together. And yet these demonical
looking wretches, to call whom "brethren"
is indeed a heavy demand on our
charity, throw themselves forward into
the shafls and drag their carriages with
their passengers, who may be ten or may
be twenty stone,uot at a walk orashutfie
or an amble, but at a good round trot of
about six miles an hour. They neither
lias, pant nor perspire, but keep up this
pace for two or three miles at a stretch.
Would not the most renowned European
athlete or pedestrian bebuta feeble
coney in comparison? Moreover, these
coolies have to content themselves at the
end of their journey with five cents?a
cent is a fraction less thau a half-penny.
They exult if they receive ten cents, and
consider the donor an utter fool if he
sives them liftecn cents.?Comhill Magazine.
How Arabs Live Without Much Water.
How is it that Arabs contrive to live
in the waterless deserts of that muchtalked
of-region. Tlicy are, to begin
with, abstemious in their habits, and
know every crevice and hollow in the
hills where water will collect. They regard
this fluid more, perhaps, in the
light of a luxury than as a necessity, aud
use it with wonderful economy. They
would never think of wasting it on the
exterior of their bodies, and consider
that once in forty-eight hours is often
enough to replenish the inner man.
General Colston tells us that when
Hedouins came to his camp water would
be offered them, Cut olten be refused
with the remark that the visitor had
drunk yesterday. By cultivating this
habit of abstemiousness ihey are able to
cover immense distances, which would
be impossible for a European, unless he
were accompanied by baggage animals.

"Yes, sah," said Uncle Zach, "I'se watched
it forty years an' its as I sez: De fast of May
an1 Christmas day of de same year allers
c&mes on de same week day."
Further conversation proved Uncle Zach a
most incredulous person- Chancing to mention
Dr. Carver's feat of breaking glass balls
with a rifle, he said:
"I heerd 'bout dat shootin' and knawed
right off it wasn't squar'; dat was a Yankee
trick, boss, sho's you born."
"What was the trick f"
"Dar wuz loadstone put intode glass balls,

Later, Undo Zach observed a rope running
along tho side of the car.
"B03S, what's dat line furf
"To apply the air-brake in case of accident."
Then we had further to explain how
the force of tho brake was obtained, to which
Uncle Zach responded:
"Look a here, boss, you sholy don't 'spect
me to b'leeve dat foolishness? Why, do
biggest harricanrs whatever blowed couldn't
