As tho nUm creaked along, .bo attention of Dr. Grant, who van a lad at that date, watt attracts! by a little mo following tho stage, which reminded him of one uesenhed by WimlmiL'ton Irving In "Astoria," which ho had just been reading.

"Well," mm the other, "then von must bo Wns.i ington Irving himself, for no one else could resist the humor and tuthos of his pen." Tho unknown colored to the roots of bin hair, but made no reply, and his tormentor continued: "Come, toll us alio truth; are you not Washington Irv ing himself" Tho jioor man at last Uushingly confessed that ho was, and thon followed a general introducing and hand-shaking, nnd a delightful and Bcver-to-be-lorgotten stage ride.

A few days ago two men, w ho were afterward round to Do iJotroiters, arrived in a town aliout fifty miles to the west of this, leading a pig. It was perhaps big enough and heavy enough to be culled a hog. but they termed it a pig, ami as they turned it over to tho cue of the landlord at whoso inn they proposed to nt for tuo nigm, ono oi me men e Dlainod: "Ho awful careful with that pig. He's a daisy a new breed just from S otland. We've sold him to a farmer out here for $.r0, and we don't want anything to hannen to him. the landlord locked the pig up and then beuun to think and cogitate and suspect. When tho strangers had gone to ImhI ho called in somo of tho boys and said: "I've twigged tho racket; thorn two fellows are sharpers, and that s a guess ing pig. To-morrow they will givo you a chance to guess at his weight at 10 cents a guess, and you'll bo cleaned out only you won't! As tho fellows sleep we will weigh their pig and beat their game," Nolxxly slept until tho pig was taken over to tho scales and weighed. He pulled down 170 pounds to a hair, and the villagers went homo and hunted up their nickels and dreamed of pigs and scales and shaniors through tho re mainder of tho night. Next morning tho pig was e-d around in front, and before starting off on his journey, one of tho owners remarked to the assembled crowd: "(lentlcmen, I'm going to weigh this fdg directly, jfaybo somo of you would ike to guess on his weight! I'll lake all guesses at 10 cents each, and whoever hits it gets 50 cents." This provoked a largo and selected stock of winks and smites, but no ono walked up until tho pig man said that any ouo isrson could guess as many times as he cared to, provided a (lime ac companiisl each guess. Thon a rush set in. Throe or four merchants put up fifty gucssos each. A justice of the peace took thirty. A lawyer said nlwut twenty would do for him. Before there was any let up in tho guessing about 000 had booh registered and paid for. Every soul of 'em guessed at 10 pounds. Jt was curious what unanimity there was in tho guessing, but the pig men didn't swm to notice it. Whou all bad been given a chanco the pig was led to the scales, and lo! his weight was exactly 174 nounds "You see, gentlemen," explained tho spokesman, "while this annual only weighs 170 pounds about 11 o'clock at night, wo feed him about live pounds of comiueal in tho morning before wuigu ill"! You forgot to take this nutter into consideration.'' Then Homebody kicked the landlord, and ho kicked the justice, and the ju.-lice kicked a merchant, and when the in men looked back from a distant hill the whole town was out kicking itself and throwing empty wallets into the river. Itljibt and Left. 'Hriusn Medical Journal. M. Dclaunay, of Paris, has made an extended and careful investigation to as certain if, in tho majority of cases, the right upier and lower extremity lie crossed over the left or the left over the riuht, and which side most persons in elino to when in tho sitting posture. According to M. Delaunav, certain breeds of dogs, terriers, Newfoundlands and poodles, cross the right foot over the loft. Tho Chineso and Japanese cross the left over tho right. Kuroenns cross tho right over tho left. M. Delaunav ol- sorved that infants under 3 years of age cross the left arm over tho right, older children crossing tho right over the loft, 00 nor cent, donnr so at 0 vears of aire. Itobust children cross the right arm over the left; tho idiot io nnd weak, including those who are incapable of working, oross tho left over tho right. Iho t al mucks and Arabs cross tho right over the left, like tlm huroiicnns. Robust children cross the right leg over tho left earlier than their weaker play mates. Persons who cross the right leg over the left lean toward the lett when sitting; those who place the loft upper most lean to the right. - Sobering Drunken itlen. Clooago News.

Mary Ellen Jones could sit right down any day and have any amount of teeth Out, and tho like of that, but sho never could, she knew she ouldn't.

Ouo hundred and fifty yoirs ngitho young gallants were wont to go walk ing round on moonlit nights, stopping now and then to chat with tho fair ones sitting on tho porches (flirting would be the name nowadays), and, as they could not do this on dark nights, they went by the name of lunariaons. . This porch amusement was, of course, enjoyable only in tho summer. In winter the com pany was received in the sitting-room, which might tis well bo styled the living room, for tho many purposes it served, They dined in it, and sometime slept in it. "The liigh-backtsl settee ) h e!i grace 1 one oi its corners revealed a nod when the toil was turned down a i-oinewnat roiig.i invention, from which our woolen sola bedstead has do.seende I. The furniture und general arrange ment of the room were generally of the simplest kind; settees with stiff, high backs, one or two large tables of pine or maple, a high, diN'p chest of drawers, containing the wearing nppnrel of the familv, and a corner cupboard, in which the china and plate were displayed, con stituted a very satisfactory set of parlor furniture in the early part ot the eighteenth century; sofas and sideboards were not yet in use, nor were caqiets. The floor was sanded, tho walls white washed and tho wido mantel of the open fireplace was of wood. The windows admitted light through small panes sot in leaden frames. A few small pictures painted on glass and a looking glass ilh a small carved border adorned the walls. Wealthier people had damask covered couches, instead of settees, and their furniture was of oak or mahogany, but in the sumo plain, stiff stylo. '1 hey used china cups and saucers, dclmvaro from England, "and massive silver waiters, bow ls and tankards. Plated ware was unknown, and those who could not afford tho roid article were content to use jH'wter plates and dishes. Not a lew ate from wooden trenchers. LamiN were scarcely known.

Telephones and Improved Hearing;, New Havea ltejlater.1 It appears that many people who have telephones in their houses or places of business, and use them frequently, hud their hearing bettered. Tho best testi mony, however, comes from tho central office: At each switch-board sits an operator, generally a girl, who, from morning till night, haggles with un reasonable sulwcrilxirs till her head fairly rings with "hello," "all right," "go ahead." Now, her ear is drilled to catch the faintest sound. If an operator were to take a twibjh-bonrd one day in tho week, only, and do all the work ro- Suired on that day, tho practico woutd oubiless bo detrimental, because it would bo exhaustive to both the muscu lar and nervous make-up of tho ear. Jystematlo Use of the telephone seems to develop the hearing ubove its normal acuteuess. Tho diliiculty which people find in working tho telephone comes from inability to fix tho attention on what is heard. Bathing In Salt Lake. Harper'a Magaiina. In the water of Salt Lake a bather can lie on the surface of the water without any exertion whatever, or bv passing a towel under his knees and holding the two ends he can remain in any depth of water kneeling, with the head and shoulders out of Water, or by shifting it under the solo of the feet ho can sit on the water. The one exertion, in fact, is to keen one s balance: none whatever is required to keep afloat. Tho only dan ger, therefore, arises from choking by accidentally swallowing somo of the water, for tho strength of the brine is so intense that the muscles of the throat are convulsed, and strangulation ensues. All tbe same, I have myself dived several times into Salt Lake, and have arvivod. A Simple Bemedy.

Their wages are from $35 to $:)0 a month, and they more than double it through tips, a gentleman rarely giving less tlmn a quarter, and frequently 50 cents or f 1. in the fashionable res taurants of New York a good waiter makes from $50 to $i0 a month outside of his wages." "I should think they would accumu late small fortunes." "Never; as a rule they gradually be coino mined by high living and drink ing. After they leave at night they go on a spree, in which champagiio figures largely, and manage to sober up enougn to wait at breakfast. Ono day I askil the heiid eook where the middles of the shad went to; it struck mo I saw so many heads and tails on the tables. 'Oh, sir, the waiters save it for themselves,' ho replied. Well, those waiters marry, and they tako their extravagant notions home, and, by tho - way, tho most wretched conjugal combination on earth Ls said to be that of a waiter and a chambermaid. They can't accustom themselves to thn sphere of life to which they belong. Both have acquired a task) for high living, and between the neotls of a family and their own extrava ganco they generally go to tho dogs tircttvfast." "What is tho largest fee you have known inven to a waiter . "Fifty dollars. It was given to ono of mv waiters, a smart voung frenchman by a wealthy New York furrier, and it completely ruined him. From that mo ment ho imagined himself a genius; he was constantly expecting similar fees, and would not look at anything less than a $3 bill. I inally his conceit nnd chain pagno were too much for him, and he joined tho largo army of rod-nosed, shabby, out-at-tuo-elbows ex-waiters." "Next to the waiters which class of employes receive the most tips,'" "Tho chaimbermaids. Their wag-sare from $3 to $t a week, and that is more than doubled by fees, and then they get Christmas boxes as well. The maul on tho first floor of my houso was given nearly $300 last Christmas. As a rule, unli!ss they have a passion for dress, they save considerable money. This girl 1 have spoken of has boon sixteen years with mi', and has in the bank nearly $8,000." "The .watchman have a groat, deal given them and are sober, industrious men. One man saved up S.'.OOO oi $3,000, went to New York, tunnel stock broker, and is now worth $400,000. Another quite a young man, saved and earned enougn to start in busi ness and is a respectable merchant in town. Then the bell boys, who care about $4 a woek, pick up a good deal, and so you can see a hotel employe goes through life thinking less of tin honestly earned wages than tho silvei that comes through caprice or favor. Naturally this tends to make them grasping, greedy, and only atteutivt when they aro bnled to be." Luunry Cauaed by War. inris Kiipiro. Dr. I.egrand du San.le, a dis tinguished authority on the subject of insanity, recently delivered an interest ing lecture in the balpetnere on the in fluence of the siege of Paris iu the pro duction of mental disease. For a few days after the declaration of war there was a notable dimunition in the number of those cases; but as soon as it became known that the Prussians were march ing on Paris the anxiety and alarm felt by the suburban population culminated in many instances in madness of a curi ous and rarely observed type - extreme melancholy, accompanied with stupor and dazed condition of the faculties. Three hundred and fifty thousand sub urban residents had to take refuge in Paris, where they found no other shel ter than that afforded by the railway carriages at the termini, which soon be came densely crowded. Hunger and inanition swelled the statistics of insanity during the siege all the more that wine was to be had in abundance, and the men of the National Guard spent the greater part of the 30 sous allowed them daily on drink, on which, in fact, they and many others lived during the last few days of the siege. The "mania of inventions" be camo very common at the same time. Oen. Trochu was constantly pestered with .lunatics, who came to lay bofore him all manner of wild contrivances of their invention for the total and in stantaneous annihilation of the Prussians.

Tho following amusing story, which was told by Franklin, ought to bo read and acted upon by an corresponueiu.-i communicating their thoughts to the newspaper press. A voung man, on commencing busi ncss. proposed to paint over his shop window, "JohnThompson.hatter, makes and sells bats for ready money," to which was added tho sign of a hat. One friend suggested that, as ho make nnd sold hats, tho word "hatter was unnecessary. It was therefore struck out and tho sign remained, "John Thompson makes and sells hats for ready money.' Another friend advised him to omit the phrase "for ready money," as there would occur occasions ior seiung ou credit; and so the sign mid: "John Thompson makes and sells bats." It was then hinted tho buyor of the hat did not care who mado it, and that the sign would bo better if it road : "John Thompson sjIIs hats." But another amputation was in stort still, for a critic pointed out the useless- ness of tho phrase "sells hats," for, said he, "no ono would ever supjto.se that the hats were to bo given away for nothing.'' Thus, at last, this aspiring tradesman commenced business, liko many worthy guewssors, under tho modest sign ol "John Thompson." rtautatlon Plilloaopliy. Arkansaw Traveler.
