How Laaclnsa for the Infinite Are Evolved Oat of lb t'haoa or th loaiaooplarc. Yesterday forenoon a man doing busi- nasi on Michigan avonno nut a quart of kerosene in a jug. walked out to the1 crossing of first stroot, and deliberately let the jug full to the pavement. It wan. of course, broken into many pieces, and, of course, tlio oil splashed over tho stone sidewalk. When this had been accomplished the man waited. In two or three minuted along camo a citizou'who halted all of a sudden, stured hard at the sjiot and called out : "Ah I somebody broke a jug 1" kYcs. Oil in it, wisn't there?" Probably lot the jug full?" Probably." "And the oil was wasted ?" "It was." "Well, I declare!" he gasped, as he passed on. lie had been gone only a minute when a lawyer camo along. Ue, .too, brought up with a Biulden jerk, and asked : "Something happened ?" . "Yes." "Homebody broko a jug?" "Yes.1 , "Had something in It, eh?" "Yea.". "Might bavo boon turpontino, but it Hindis liko kerosene." "Ah I then I was correct." Ho Ungored until the third man came lip. The new arrival picked up the hundlo of tho brokou jug and re marked: liless rao ! but this must Lavo been wns." "And it had kerosene In it," he con tinued, ad he rublied hid linger on tho walk and sniil'od at it. "It did.". "Well, by Oeorgo, but that's queer?" Ho also waited, and a fourth man came up aud wont through about the same performance. Then a fifth, sixth, and seventh came, and by-and-by there were thirty men in tho group and more coming every moment. Karh one picked up a pioce of tho jug, looked it all over, nulled at it, and put on an expression of interest, and one man had asked if the coroner had been notified, when a policemad pushed his way in and asked : . ' "What's this all about?" " Whv," answered tho man who hud started the atluir, "I put some kerosene into a jug and let tho jug full on to tho walk. ' Homo of the crowd tried to laugh us it suddenly broko up, and some said they would pound him if they lml to wait a hole year, whilo tho olllcor wont away muttering: "This will bear looking into. Whore wns ho going with that jug? How raino it to break r What was ho doing with kerosene? Whv didn't the jug contain molasses? I'll liavo un eye on him." l; MN'.aken Charily.

A few week ago tiicro was another death .j tho family, and tho undertaker's as sistant hilled at tho house. A biniill boy met him at the door. "Is your pu in?"

The Loft)-. Traveled Youth, an4 the l.art, Who Took lllm Down. There h a vouth on board who naked himi-elf a hero with his lofty uln. He w ears a rosc-colo ed suit, and car'ies a smooth alpenstock w ith a chamois horn mounted atop; and over his fftxen hair, which is beautifully parted beiiud, he weara a red Turkish fez. Hi (ear lessly made everlnxly's acquaintance the first day out, and then at ono be nan to bodirer them about thefr travels, "Hml rio you went np the li.gr and over to the Scheideck, of course," he Raid to dome Indies. "Yes, np the Rigi, but only to the Kulm. they answered. "Oh 1 You should have gone over to the Scheideek!

To a clergyman who was shaking of Heidelwrg ho saul : "I suppose you went around to the Bench, didn't ye?" "Bench? What bench?" "The Bench the Bench the rocky shelf dome 200 feet beyond the castle. No? You didn't? You came away without going to the Bench? Why, the Bench gives you the best view of the castle there is all the view there is, about; I wouldn't give a cent to go to Heidelberg at all unless I went to the Bench I" "What? Didn't go to Valmaar?" he said, with an incredulous inflection, to a young professor from a western col lege. "J it possible? That lovely church that unique camposanto that wonderful history that stupendous palace I If 1 had missed Valmaar I shouldn't feel as if I had beon to Eu rope at all." And tho professor wus actually too much ashamed of himself, and too deeply grieved at his loss, to tell the vouth that ho never before heard of Valmaar. But this young man, who was having sucli fun letting the sawdust out of tho tourist's cherished dolls, was laying np for himself wrath against a day of wrath. "Of course you weut out to tho Fag giola, when you were in Venice?" in quired one of the ladies of him. "O yes ye the Faggiola yes, of course; I hud almost forgotten it." "Forgotten such a strange island as that?" she pursued, "were tho old Roman city of Minovia sunk hundreds of years ago, and they can still see down through tho water the marble palaces? Did you go down in the dumb-hell T "No, I didn't; I wasn't feeling very woll that day ; but I saw the roofs and spires down through tho water they are mostly tumbled down now." "How far are they bolow tho surface of the water? I should think well fifty or sixty feot, or may lie more," he said vivaciously. "How did the old castle look ?" she inquired, with earnest interest; "did it seem utterly forsukeu down there, or as if it w ere still inhabited ?" "Still inhabited!" he exclaimed, "after all these why.it looked just like you know yourself what it looked liko; you was out thero, wasn't you?" "Me? O, no; I didn't go out to the Faggiola when I was in Venice. It was was awfully hot; and then I didn't know whero tho Faggiola was, ond noliody else seemed to know, either." Sho laughed a merry peal. "And no body said anything about tho oastlo of tho Roman city of Minovia." And sho laughed again and chipped her hands; and her hearers laughed, too nil but one, who looked very thoughtful and walked away. Ho was seen laboring over one of tho volumes of the cyclopedia down in the saloon an hour later, and since that has been very quiet, indeed. The "Leader" Killtor'a Future. Tho flag has dropped on poudorous journalism. Tho great, good-imtured pulilio will put up with much, but it will not have a dailv niagniuo at the breakfast table. It w ill read a para graph between its ham and eggs, but it hasn't time for a review tho eggs would get cold. When this old hat was new, some hundred years ago, tho public hunkered nnd hungered for long editorial articles. It doesn't do it now, It has more sense, nnd, besides, tho world has moved u poj or two. When tho publio reads a long article nowa- lavs it must bo larded with news, not some man's opinion warmed over a dozen times. This being the case, the thought as to tho future of the power ful "leader" writer is a saddening one. What ever will become of tho man with tho brow like Mercury new-lightsd on a heaven-kissing hill and the throb bing intellect? There is a grave chanco that there will not bo enough wood piles to go around. Tho MoniiMtitiirr'n ll!t, The thotiirhtfnl Provision of this r - i - moonshiner for his hogs reminds one tlmt tho boi?

A Cool ro ited Head. Alfonso is described as "an iusipid littlo fellow, who loves cigarettes, gar lic, girls, fast horses and brandy," but it takes something more than a French mob to "rattle" him. Alfonso's conduct ia Fan's showed that ho has . cool head, even if ho is a king. t'hliiPHO .tledleal Treatment. The most absurd superstitions are held in regard to sickuess and disease. It is always at ributed to the evil spirits llo.ilii:g in the air, and when a member of u family is attacked with illness they send for tho priests. These sacred in dividuals come attended by a full baud of mrisii!. that is to say, a huge gong, several drums, and an instrument like a Scotch bagpipe. No more hideous or unearthly noise can be imagined. The priest kileels before a square table hold ing lighted caudles and burning incense, and resds innumerable prayers placed on a sort of easel, in large, red charac ters. At ti e end of each one he pros trates himself to the earth, and the in struments break out into a most dis cordant cla:nor while he remains there. A woman in a village just outside the gates of our compound has never been well since her removal into a new bouse. Of course, the only reason thev can think of is that the evil spirits took xssession before they did. Last week the priests were sent for, and they have been keeping it up ever since, night and day. The w onder to us is when they eat or sleep, for there has been not the slightest cessation of hostilities. When ill they pinch themselves around tho neck till it has the appearance of being burned or scolded at regular intervals. Another habit is to take a copper cash, a rough eoin about the value of 1-10 of a cent, and scratch a cross on the back till the blood flows. Even the most learned have not the lightest idea of the mechanism of the human ImhIv, for it is against the law and punishable by death to dissect a corpse. It is amusing to see their outs representing the internal system, for they resemble that of a sheep or goat quite as much as our own beautifully formed and regulated bodies. No won der that the marvelous cures effected by the foreign physician seem little less than miracles. A Ktruiisc Interruption. The Primitive Baptist camp-meeting at Silvor Creek, Ga., had a strange in terruption. A matronly woman began to scream and cry in a violent manner during prayer time. The preacher thought it was a ease of spiritual anx iety, ond put ou more religious fervor, which had a magnetic effect on the prayerful worshipers and caused them to do likewise. This stimulated the matronly woman to renewed exertions and increased uoiso. Presently she de clared that she was not praying, but that she was mad about her slaughter. A voting man had been paying atten tion to her daughter, and the mother had told the girl to have nothing to do with him. In order to muke sure of this the old lady hud held the girl by the arm while engoged in prayer. Very silently and slyly the young lllliU oamo and knelt by tho girl. The old lady, who was devoutly praying, did not see him, nor did sho see tho other man that knolt with him. Nor did she at first know that the whispered words which fell from the lips of the three, consti tuted the marriago service. It was when she found out that her daughter had thus beon married on the sly that she began to scream. For awhile she was uncontrollable. But at last sho yielded to wise counsel, and decided to mako tho best of what she considered a bad bargain. The brethren present thought the wedding one of the most extraord inary ever known in cump-meeting his tory. A Wicked Joke. Charley Willard wns a practical joker; he was what tho many victim ized darkies called "a ba nd man." One day Charley hired a darkey to let him nail him up in a packing case, and ho instructed tho thus imprisoned African that at a certain time he should groan dismally. 'Then the joker called a dray and said to the driver: "Here, Jack, take this box to the do pot. I don't like the looks of that box around here. I wonder who left it hero." The box w as placed upon tho dray, and tho careless drayman mounted upon it and started for thb station. Ho had driven about half the leugth of liay street when a hidlow groan of deep agony camo up from tho box beneath him. The driver was not quite certain that ho rightly caught tho direction of tho noise, but ho lightened up on the box, tho perspira tion oozed out upon his forehead, and tho furze upon his hands rose up in creeping horror at the sound. "What dut?" ho softly asked himself, ond his voice squeaked and wabbled as he spoke. " i'liirh-h-iih-oh-ee-umrh-h-oh !" c.inio from the box, and the captive tloun dered in his cage. Thero was a yell of awful terror a big urgro man leaprd high in the air from tho dray and landed full fifteen feet away, and with a huge, w hite, dis torted eye out over each shoulder ho tied dow n the street praying and snort ing as bo ran : "Oh, Lordv! O.nvy Henveuly Father! Bo with mo, 1 pray! Oo, wah-uh-uh! Do debill liko to cotch me! My Lord in glory I save your snftorin' child !" Ho stopped at lust, but it took half an hour to get tho thing explained, and tho coon in tho box inquired very particularly as to whether tho drayuiuii was near nt hand before he would con sent to being released.

One f the Hcors;eef ArMle Travel -An Old Whaler'a Kxperlence. y ' "The worst trouble that I had in my first voyage north was from sun-burn. Yes, sir sun-burn. I could stand the cold when she was forty degrees below zero; I could stand frozen noses and years; but bust my top-rails if I didn't suffer the torments of hell the first time I got sunburnt in the Arctic regions. You see it is this way : We was laid up a few days before the close of summer making repairs, in about seventy-fo lr degrees north latitude, and right early one morning a party of us weut ashore to look around. It was pretty cold aud the consequence was we were bundled up in half a dozen thicknesses of under clothes, with fur hoods over our heads, and looked like fleas in a buffalo robe. "Well, sir, along about noon time, what with the heat of the sun, and the hard exercise that we was taking ia getting over the snow and ice-hummocks, I was hot as tarnation, and just slipped the hood off my head and w ent along for awhile with nothing on it. " 'Put on that hood, you fool,' hol lered one of the men. 'Do you w ant to get sunburnt?' 'A' few freckles won't hurt me,' says I. 'I never was much of a beauty. But you're the fool to tulk about sun-burn in such a country as this. "I thought that settled the whole business; so I kept right along with a bare head, while the other boys, w ho were old bands at travel iu the north, kept covered np. The side of my fact that was next the sun was hot as tire, while the side that was in the shade was froze pretty stiff, but as we kept tacking around in going from place to place, I showed first one side and then the other to the sun, and the freezing and the oooking was pretty evenly divided. "You take and stick your head clear down to the chin in a bucket of scalding water, and keep it there for five min utes, and you'll know what I felt like when I got back to the ship that night. My face was swelled up so that I couldn't see out of my eyes, and one of the boys had to lead me around for three days. My head under the hair was so tender that I couldn't touch it to a piller, and I took my sleep like I took my whisky, standing. The boys used to come around me and laugh and holler, Itecause they said my head looked like a hog fattened up for Christmas; but it wasn't no joke for me, und I couldn't understand the laughing nntil I got w ell enough to see out of my eyos into a looking-glass, and then I laughed, too, at the picture. "You don't believe me, eh? Don't lie about it; I can seo in your eyes that you don't; but it's true all the same, and any man who has been well up north in summer will tell you the same. The cap'n he told me the cause of it was that the sun shines so straight up and down there that his rays, burn like lire. I don't know nothing about that, but I do know that sunburn is the painfullest danger in northern travel. "Freezing ain't a patching to it. Many and many a time havo I had my nose and years froze without suffering. The time I got these years froze off I didn't tend to them in time, or they'd a-been all right. In fact, I was by my self for twenty-four hours at the timo it happened, and I did not know they were froze untd sonio of the boys told me when I got back to the ship;' but it was too late to Bave them. Old Virginia's Molld otloan. And with all this material progress let us put it upon record that tho Vir ginian is still the old Virginian. And let us be thankful for that. He, with his solid notions of honor, truth, piety, hospitality, is a good anchor to tho na tion. This old Virginian, undor whoso solid mahogany I have had my legs, is building a barn. Every timber of this barn I have had to approve aud praise for its solidity and pormanence. His bead is blossoming near the seventies, but he stumps about and thumps everything with his big oak stick to seo that it is ''solid ! solid ! solid ! sah 1" Ho is build ing a stono wall about his thousands of mountain acres, and, although ho well knows ho will never livo to seo it completed, ho lays tho foundation deep in tho earth; solid! solid!

Illonde and Brunett Beauties. In New York, for the past two- sea sens, there has been great rivalry exist ing between the lovely blonde and dar ling brunette beauties. The war still rages furiously, aud it is hard to tell at the present moment which is to come out victorious, and whether the blonde beauties or their darker sisters will lead fashions this winter, and whioh will be the more popular. We do not often see in one metropolis as many real blondes and as many true brunettes as we have'iu New York. A real blonde has light hair with streaks of gold through it, eyes that look like wild violets, complexion rare ond white, with a delicate flush on the cheek, and light evebrows the color of the hair. True blondes never have dark eye brows. ; If a woman 1ms all the above require mpnt that iro to make nu a blonde, and dark or black eyebrows., her beauty comes under another type Known as tne "Van Dyke blonde," of which Lady Afun, Willi- in one of the most stunninir examples we liavo ever seen. Her hair is a wonderful yellow, lier complexion fair as a lily, and her eyes black as sloes, with' eyebrows to match. The "Van Dyke bloudo" is a type of lauty not often seen. It is considered by far the more distingue type. Although abuotit everybody knows what is requisite to lie a true brunette, there are still a few who are not even educated up to it, and w hocoll a woman who has a dark clear skin, "cheeks like roses and lips like the cherry," hair purplish black, and dork gray eyes, a brunette. No woman is a true brunette who has not very brown or very black eves. " What is known os the "Irish type" of beauty in one of the loveliest. No eye is so blue, so large, so expressive, or so heavily fringed as that of the possessor of this type; no hair is so glossy and dark and heavy ; no complexion so rosy and healthfuCand to people in general this type is the most bewitching and fascinating. A typo of beauty that bus had its day, but of which we see representatives oc casionally, is what is known as the "strawberry blondes." Brick red hair, blue eyes and fair, pink complexions, are the accompaniments of this type. The "yellow blonde" is another typo which is rapidly going out of fashion, ond "yollow blondes" aro seldom seen now except on the stage. Fanny Daven port is an example of this typo. The daughters of Spain and Italy ore the best examples of the brunette type of beauty; those of England and Ger many of tho blonde type, nnd those of Greece of the Van Dyke type. Here in America we have a mixture of all kinds of types, as we have a mix ture of all nations. The true American type of lieauty, howevor, is neither of the blondo nor brunette, Van Dyke nor Irish, Duniel Gabriel Hossetti, straw berry or yellow blondo types. The true American beautv has hair soft aud brown, eyes of gray or blue, complex ion rather white, clear ond devoid of rich color, and features not by ony means as regular as those of the other types of beauty, but possessing far uioro expression. Ladles Who Shave. "I'm in about ns big a hurry as your self to-day," said a Trenton, N. J.J bar ber to a reporter ; "this is my Chambers burg day." "What do you mean by your Chambersburg day?" asked tho reporter. "That's the day I go out to the borough to shavo a certain lady w ho lives there.- Oh, you noedn't bo surprised. I shavo her every two w eeks. If sho let her mustacho grow it would beat yours. I have ono other Judy customer, w ho would, but for me, have a growth of fine, soft hair on both sides of her foce. I shave her every three weeks. The first lady is married. The other is not. No one outside of their own fam ilies knows that they shave. There aro other ladies, I suppose, who could cul tivate a beard, but I don't know them.' Once when I w orked hi Philadelphia, I had half a dozen to shave every fort night." "Doesn't the shaving mako tho hair on their faces grow worse than ever? ',; "I think not. I use water in stead of lnthcr, by their request, nnd while shaving makes the hair Stiller, I don't think it causes it to grow any heavier. One reason that thoy shavo is that they can not properly powder their faces when growing a beard." "How murh do you chargo them?" "Twenty cents a shave." , An Editor'M lnraparlty. . 5 , " .
