I was traveling recently in New Eng

a man whoso appearance would attract

was Mr. Shaw as Josh Billings, our
Yankee Rochefoucauld, who is a con
stant oasis and well-spring of wit in a
great American dosert of "alleged"
humor.
, "I have written for ioventeon years
without missing a week for one story
paper," he said in the course of a con
versation. "I am nothing but a para
graphia, and acknowledge what I can't
rut in two lines I oan't express at all.
, I have, finally, after a quarter of a cen
tury, whittled down all philosophy, all
wisdom, and all ignorance iuto the par
agraphs of Solomon, in which he ac
knowledged himself a plagiarist. 'There
is nothing now under the sun.' The
most a man can do with a thought is to
sharpen an end of it so it will go in
easier. There is no possible addition
that can be mado to the world of ideas.
And not a shaving is ever lost. Some
poor fellow picks it up and goes to
whittling and sharpening again.
"I have to catch my ideas on tho run.
If I don't they will get away. I put
them down iu this book, sometimes

What the treasury people fenr in the
future is that their paper issued may
by duplicated by tho means employed
bv the photo-lithographers. It is possi
ble with the aid of photodithographvto
duplicate every line of the most skillful
and intricate engraving. This fact was
brought to the attention of tho depart
ment uot long ago.
1'he statutes forbid any i.itatior of
the currency of the country for tho pur
poses of advertisement. This is not
generally understood. A New York
brewer recently devised a business
card in the shape of a plate with sev
eral bills of different denominations
lying upon the plate, being held
down by a gold and a silver coin.
He had employed regular bills aa the
models for the work, ami the result is
absolutely startling. What portions of
the bills that -diowinthe careless piling
are absolutely perfect. Ther were re
prod ueed by photo-lithograph v and then
colored exactly like the originals. The
plates were all seized, and the brewer
notitjed that he was a violator of the law,
although hi intent waa innocent
This discovery has set tin uiticiula to
thinking. With tho right kind of paper
any skillful photo-lithographer eoul.l get
up millions in a very short time. To
guard spsinst the danger ami to provide
lmnnsof detecting such counterfeits are
as yet unsolved problems.

SECOND-HAND SCHOOL COOK3-

- i Xew Yolk Hun.
"The trade in second-hand se' ool
books, through a recent industry,' sa d
a dealor, "hns grown into considerable
proportions, and to-day thre is not an
important city or village in the couuir
which has not its dealer in second
hand school Isxiks. Here is nif last
catalogue and price-list, which will give
you some idea of the magnitude of tho
business,"
The catalogue contained a list of
more than thirty thousand text-books,
mostly standard works, all listed at
about one-linlf publisher s prices.
"Where do vou get your bocks?" the
reporter asked.
"There are many sources. Fublisb
en frequently introduce their books
into schools by taking the text-books
already in use and allowing something
for them. We could formerly get these
books for a little advance on paper
dealers prices, bnt many publishers
now guard against this by having chop-ping-blocks
and cleavers in their estab
lishments and chopping each book in
two crosswise. There is no . way
in which such a book can be mode
salable. The old plan of tearing off
covers was no safeguard, since we can
recover school books of medium size for
twelve cents per hundred. We get a
great many books, most of which are
unused, from teachers in district
schools, to whom they are mailed by
the publishers. But of course a ma'
jority of the books come from the
pupils themselves, who are glad to part
with them, an old school book having
novaluo to most of them. Then we
get an immense number from the smaller
dealers in ether parts of the coun
try. Our larger New York houses
have men constantly out for that pur
pose. It may be that a second-hand
dealer in Omaha will be the man to
supply me with the particular text
Iwoks I need to complete my stock.
Publishers try to meet our competition
by constantly changing their editions.
But these changes react again, lwth
teachers and pupils in many schools
being opposed to the changes and ad
hering to tho old editions. The only
text-book, which is not much changed
with each new edition is 'Webster's
Spelling-book,'of which a million copies
a yoar are published, and which has
been changed in no important respect
since it was first published in 1800.
You can buy one of the latest edition
for 5 cents, but one of the first would
be worth more than 5. Five years is
the average lifo of a school book.
After that time tho editions have so
much changed that the book id value
less. Kale for Kldln.
In mounting, face tho near side of
the horse. The near side is the sido
nearest vourself. If vou stand on the
right side of the horse, which is the
wrong sido, when you mount you will
face the crupper. Then everybody will
know your name is Johan Ootlieb Erui
sicrelfolirer. If vou cannot mount from
the ground, lead tho horse to the fenco,
climb upon it, say "whoa" two or
three times, and jump over the horse s
ears, lou will light somewhere on his
neck, and you will have plenty of time
to adjust yoursjlf while tho liorso is
running away.
Another method of mounting, largely
practiced by young gentlemen from the
city, is to balance yourself on ono foot
on the fence,' and point the other leg at
tho horse, in the general direction of
the saddle, saying "whoa" all the time.
The horso, after this gesture has been
repeated a few times, backs away, pulls
the alleged rider off the fence, and
walks up and down the lane w ith him
at a rapid gallop. This gives the rider,
in about ten minutes, all the exercise
he wants for a week. If by some mira
cle you manage to get iuto the saddle.
hold on with both hands and say "whoa.
Tho faster the horse goes the tighter
you must hold on, and the louder you
must "holler.
If you are from New York or Phila
delphia, you will shorten the stirrups
until your knees are on a level with
your chin. Then as you ride you will
rise to your feet and stand in the atti
tude of a man peering over a fenco to
look for his dog,. and then suddenly
full in the saddlu like a man who has
stepped on a bunana peel. This is tho
knglisu school. It is hard on tho horse
but is considered very graceful. A man
can not wear false tooth, however, and
ride in this manner.

The growth and development of
Texas cannot lie exaggerated, i on
Worth eiirht vears ago contained bnt
800 inhabitants: in 1NH0, '',00
and .to-day, Hi.oOii, a perfect sys
toni of water-works, street railroads
and gas. Sewer.tsp is being built, tho
streets graded and iiiacadumied; a fine
opera-house is in process of construc
tion, ond every thing that goes to ni'ike
np a city, except tho hotels. The Lord
have mercv upon tho man that has to
contribute" S3 jier day to the hotels of
Port orth, especially tho l.l raso,
Fifteen cents would be extravagant,
Whv some live hotel man has not
found this place before ih a mystery,
as the arrivals during lost December
were over 9,000 as shown by
the hotel registers. This city has a
numler of large wholesale houses, one
grocery house last year having sold over
$1,000,000 worth of goods. II some un
foreseen circumstance does not check
the growth of Fort Worth, it will soon
rank as a city of 25,000 to 50,000 inhab
itants. The future city of Texas is
Dallas. Containing a population of
10,000 in 1880, without effort apparently
upon the part of her citizens, she has
grown to be a prosperous city of 25,
000, and is going right ahead. Dallas
is doing more than four times the busi
ness of any city of her size in the north.
There are great opportunities here for
men of energy and capital.
What Texas needs is more corn, less
cotton, more hogs and better cattle.
The crops this year in northern Texas
are good, the acroage of corn is about
double and the yield fair. A great
many cattle will be fed this winter.
The cotton crop is short. The acreage
is not more than 33 per cent., and in
the southern part of the state the aver
age is not over 50 per cent. The loss
in the aggregate to tho state on the
cotton crop is estimated at $30,000,000.
What Texas necdt is northorn enter
prise and knowledge. The latter she is
last acquiring, and certainly the former
will come if only apprised of the op
portunities. Why should Texas pay
exorbitant prices for corn-fed beef ship
ped in refrigerator cars from Kansas
City and St. Louis? Why should she
ship her cattle alive to St. Louis, losing
100 pounds on each bead and 1 cent in
the price, when she can slaughter them
at home and ship two car loads in one ?
Why should Texas bo dependent on the
north for, bacon and lard when hogs
grow and fatten themselves here? Why
should Texas be dependent on the
north for flour when she should have a
surplus of millions of bushels of wheat?
These questions will soon be solved, and
the men to take the step in advance
will reap a rich reward.
The American Hin-Porket.
The "bip-pockot" in American-made
trousers gives a wrong impression
abroad, although its use has become
very genoral in this country. An Eng
lishman, w ho was recently entertaining
a company at a table d'hote with his
knowiedgo of American customs and
manners, declared that every American
"man" curried a pistol, and that it was
necessary, as life was so insecure there.
An American lady said that he waa
telling her Bomethir g new of a country
where she had always lived. He re
plied that all American men had
hip-pockets made in their trousers
purposely to carry firearms. The
lady protested; her husband, three sons
and brothers always had hip-pockets
mado, but tohercortain knowledge they
never carried fire-arms in them. Nor
did she know of any American who was
a walking arsenal, and she thought fur
ther that life in America seemed just as
secure as in Europe. "I am amazed,"
said bo, "to hear your apparently sin
cere remarks, but I cannot agree with
you. Severui years ago, when I was on
the Laramie plains in the states, trav
eling for pleasure, some road agents
forced our party at tho point of a pistol
to hold up both hands. They then emp
tied our pockets." The lady assured
him that very few of our leading mou
are engaged in tho road agent industry,
and that fow of the others are loaded.
Another false idea is that of the so
called "American duel." I never heard
of the misnamed "American duel" until
I came to this countrv, and have been
greatly ridiculed therefor. "Why,"
said a gentleman, "is it possible you
are an American and have grown up in
ignorance of such a famed practice?
Instead of shooting at each other the
principals draw lots while nlone to
gether. Whoever gets the fatal num
ber must take his own life within a
year. Neither must tell of it, and tho
suicide leaves no explanation of his
act."

Ornamental Teeth.
The teeth, we are told, rarelv escape
beautifying among the negroes of
equatorial Africa; for they file the
edges into notches, in some cases, until
they resemble tho serrations in a saw.
The Africans, however, are excelled by
tho Malays in their artistic treatment of
the teeth ; for not only do they stain
them black, but tho hitter file them into
fantastic shapes. And in Borneo an
cUUorate proctss is adopted; tho front
surface of each tooth Wing drilled in
the centre, and a round or stai shiqH'd
knob of brass inserted in the hole.
These knobs aro kept bright by tho ac
tion of tho lip, aud are supposed to bo
highly attractive.

The "Tip" Xulsance,
The tip tax is a formidablo figure in
daily expenses and annoyances in this
city. That must be paid, though rent
and doctor's bills languish. If it wn t
paid promptly, and with an appearance
of cheerful "acquiescence, you cant
move on. It is an English importation
which has grown to overpowering pro
portions. When yon tip a woiter you don't pay
him for what he has done for you. The
mnu who employs him does that. You
give him a coin as the tribute exacted
bv inferiority of its bettors. It is tariff
levied upon "superior position. In some
lll-detined way it is supposed to comer
honor on the giver, and in an unmis
takable way it degrades the receiver.
That feature of the transaction, how
ever, disturbs not the waiter. He
wants his tip and will h-.ve it. regard
less of ultimate results. And he knows
exactly how to get it, too. He con
trives to make the guest understand
that he expects it : that it is a part of
the programme w hich, if omitted, would
leave him, the guest, no sell-respect at
all.
r Vol Inn-nliish does all this without
swerving a hair's breadth from the
strictest outward decorum. lie says
nothing on the subject, of course. He
m'nmlv makes his face, his manner, bis
attitudes, and bis voice convey his
wishes, mere is no mistaking mo sig
nificance of the language he employs.
The strongest man becomes helpless
under this treatment, and yields in spite
of a thousand resolutions to discourage
tli wlioln exasneratinir business.
The circle addicted to levying tips is
constantly increasing. Porters, table-
waiters, messengers, baggage-wiieeiers,
janitors, aud all orders of servitors who
are without pride, belong to the tip
receiving fraternity; but the table
waiter leads off. He is the most skilled
tip-getter. He can reduce the most
olnlurate to subjection. Only those
who never expect to return to the
dining-room over which he presides
escape him.
Even the female waiter lias picked
np a little of the art of tip-compelling.
She serves in bakeries, dairies and less
pretentious places than docs the
grandiose creature who poses in swell
dining-rooms, and is more reasonaoio in
her demands, but she is not to be put

Love at Second Night.
Lady Sarah Cadogan, daughter of
illiam, hrst Earl Cadogan, was mar
ried at the age of 13 to Charles, second
duke of Richmond, aged 18. It is said
that his marriage was a bargain to can
cel a gambling debt between their par
ents, Lady Sarah being a co-heiress.
The young Lord March was brought
from college, and the little lady from
the nursery, for the ceremony, which
took place at Tho Hague. The bride
w as amazed and silent, but the husband
exclaimed: "Surely you are not
going to mnrrv me to that
dowdv !" Married, however, he was,
and his tutor theu took him off to the
continent and the bride went back to
her mother. Three years after Lord
March returned from his travels, but,
having such a disagreeable recollection
of bis wife, was in no hurry to join her,
and went the first evening to the the
atre. There he saw a lady so beautiful
that ho asked who she was. "The
reigning toast, Lady March," was the
answer ho got. He hastened to claim
her, and their lifelong affection for
each other is much commented upon by
contemporaneous writers indeed, it is
said that the duchess, who sunived

San Francisco, May 1, 182.-Dear Sir:
Fur the past two months I have been suf
fering from a severe cough and cold. A
friend advised me to use Ammen's Cough
Syrup. I did so, and was greatly benefited.
I nave now taken two large bottles and am
entirely cured. Grateful to you for placing
so valuable a remedy on the market, I am
yours truly, M. J. Murphy,
With Langley & Michaels, Wholesale
Druggists. .
I have given the Life Essence in
cases representing many phases of dis
ease, but not quite long enough to fully de
termine all Its action. So far as tried, I
have found it a heart tonic, sedative, and
a tonic to the nervous system in cases of
exhaustion from overwork or nervous
strain. It is more prompt than other
remedies, and its effects are' better sus
tained. It improves the force of the circu
lation to that extent that I have found it a
remedy for coldness of the extremities.
Patients have remarked the- refreshing
sleep obtained after its use by them. 1
will try it further in a wider range of cases.
Very truly, James Bekohen, M. D.

Messrs. D. S. Brown & Co.:
Gentlemen Please send me another
six-gallon Hatkness Fire Extinguisher as
soon as you can. I had occasion to use the
one I bought of ypu a short time ago.
Last night the hotel adjoining my store
caught fire in the hallway to tne second
story, from the explosion of a lamp, and
the building being cloth and paper was im
mediately on lire in several rooms, but in
less than two minutes after getting the
extinguisher to work the fire was out.
As soon as this one arrives I will send
the other one down and have it replenished.
Also please inform me if I cannot draw off
the fluid remaining in the tank and save it
for future use, or shall I send it as it is.
Yours, etc., (Signed) J. N. Andrews.
