CD W JULIE'S QUESTV
DcaoMlntra Bowery Sympathy.
- "There's a character," said the clerk of
m .twenty-five reent' Bowery hotel, indi
ating a shabbily dressed old man who
stood with his back to the stove. " Wil
lie, come over here a minute."
The old man by the stove evidently
SBswered to the diminutive name, for he
fitaoced up to see who called, and then
.baffled quickly over to the desk.
"Tell the gentleman about yourself.
Willie," said the clerk.
Willie took off his dilapidated hat to
the stranger. and said: ''Twenty-five
years ago ,1 had. a daughter. ; :' One day
jahe went 'away and 'left me 'She was
mighty pretty, and not more'n fifteen
yar old.;. Where had she gone? No
sm could say. j I began my search one
sushi in March, twenty-five' 'years ago.
-I hunted for ten years and never found
her. Then one night in winter 1 saw a
vnaa and a w6:rnan-iro8sin& 'this very
Bowery. I looked closer, and there was
-my child. I called," 'Julia! Julia?
She turued her head and looked at me.
J "waa hurrying pp to take her hands,
-wheu 'f saw that she" was leaving me.
Sbelad inau went fast thriugh the
rowd,' and 1 followed, calling, 'Julia!
J alia! A poliebman stopped met and
bea they all laughed. I had lost her
again.- That 'was fifteeii years ago. I've
rrer seen her since, but I'm still look
ie, and 111 find her yet."' r
"Well, life has gone hard idttr'you.
Tn't it? said the stranger. "You look
Thaolc' you! " I'm" not so very cold.
TJbe trouble is my kind friends give me
thin coat to wear in the winter and a
-thick one to wear in the summer. That's
tie way it was with the Italian; that
"keeps the fruit stand 'out' on'1 the corner
here. . He ; gave ( this little blue coat to
ne, and I pawned the old thick one that
lb cigar man gave me,' because it had
tte most holes in it."
"Are you very poor?" ' L' ' .''
"Mot as long as I stay right in this
iwighborhood. The cigar man lets me
on the floor in his shop, and this

"It comes to me from various direo

breakfast as a" rule, and "buckwheat
mfces for "dinner,'"'Wheh; of course, the
' ardor should be reversed. It ia left over
aa that way." j
"Well, you expect to find your daugh

"Yes. ' Vm seventy-six now,' and 1
think 1 will live ten years longer. In
that time 1 shall meet her again. : 1 am
always on the street, except when I step

The old man hurried out into the Bow--ry
and disappeared in the crowd.

The Superior Cape Cod Poke.
"What are you givin' usV" yelled a
down town grocer in an excited way to
an Auburn friend who had just slam
Vanged his hat down on 1 his head and
whirled him around so violently that he
fell on a potato barrel and 'skinned - his

friend, "aud that's the marine swing.
"That's it, is it?" said the grocer, as
he grabbed the Auburn man, jammed
him under a meat bench, kicked the vis
ible portion of his anatomy and hit him
hard with a broom. - "How do you like
that? That's the Cape' Cod poke, other

subject, it has been ascertained . that in
beginning to sleep the senses do not
unitedly fall into a state of slumber, but
drop Off 6ne after the other. 'J- The ti ht
ceases, in consequence of the protection
of ; the eyelids, to receive impressions
first, while all the other senses preserve
their sensibility entire. The sense of
taste is the next which loses its suscepti
bility to impressions, and then the sense
of smelling.
The hearing is next in order, and last
of all couies the sense of touch. Fur
thermore, the senses are thought to sleep
with different degrees of profoundness.
The sense' frf touch sleeps ' the' most
lightly and is the most easily awakened;
the next easiest is the hearing; the next
is the sight, and the taste and smelling
awake the'last. ; ( ''. f ! " , ,s ? ' ;
Another1 remarkableT circtmiBtance 'de
serves notice; certain muscles and parts
of the bod v-begin to Bleep before others.
Sleep commences at the extremities, be
ginning jsrith the feet and legs, and
creeping toward the center of nervous
action. The necessity for keeping the
feet warm "and perfectly1 still as a pre
liminary of sleep, is well kiiowhJ 'From
these xpbinatibns It - will 'not-; appear
surprising that, with one or more of the
senses, and perhaps aluo" one or moro
parts of the body, 'imperfectly asleep,
there should be at the same time an im

One day while the late Senator' Hearst
was a young man and' yet had his fort
une to make he and a few companions
were on a prospecting tour. Along in
the afternoon they sighted a band of In
dians, and,' as in those days all Indians
were hostile, Mr." Hearst and his friends
naturally wanted to get away from there.
All the" prospectors, except the future
senator.-were, mounted on horses. He
was on a retired army mule, and soon
found himself left in the rear. The In
dians were on' his trail and things began
to. look serious, when he called out to
his rapidly disappearing companions:
. "Hold On, boys; there's only a few of
thetn. ;."We needn't be" afraid."
Just then the mule scented the ap
proaching Indians, and with a wild snort
started out at a gait that ''soon ' left the
horsemen far behind.' When Hearst "was
about a quarter "of a mile In advance he
turned in his sadddle ' and yelled at the
top of his Voice: -- ' ; ' '
"Hurry up j boys; youll get scalped:
There's more'n a hundred of them."

TRIP OFF THE PACIFIC OOAST.. ,
A Very Lucrative Bunineae SpoMed by the
Perveraenese of a Stupid Bull Headed,
'Humpbacked Whale An Incredible
Story or Hard Luck.
In passing up Front street a reporter's
attention was attracted to a singular ap
pearing man who stood in front of a hide
and' fur store examining a very hand
some sea otter skin which ' hung in th6
window: Bis hair was long, and his face
covered with a full growth of beard of a
rich auburn hue", which "hung down on
his breast. His clothing- was of strange
make and material, and his tout" ensem
ble . was calculated to give one an idea,
that "the wild man of Borneo had just
come to town." The reporter approached
thtf ' 'window. ' 'and ' after pausing -a 'mo
ment said: . - , ' ';' ' 'f-''.v.
1 "That ia a very handsome skinf
'"'Yes,'" said the :stranger,''"it is very
fine. There is nothing --that -produces
better fur' thari the "sea otter. ' I have
shot many of them." ::1 - " " -'. ---
' Might I ask -where?" said the report
er. "The sea otter is a rare animal now."
"I suppose they are about all killed off
by' this time on this ' coast," ' feaid ' the
stranger. ' "It was ten years ago when I
. was shooting them on the coast of Wash
ington territory, and they' were not very
numerous then, but in the course of two
years I had killed over . fifty, besides a
good many fur seals, and had; saved - up
'over $5,000 in cash, when I was suddenly
broke ' up m business and ' taken - to a
strange -'country by 'a very-singular acci
dent." . - --; -
On being pressed for an explanation
the stranger told the following remarka
ble Btoryr "Ten- years ago I was hunting
sea otters on one of the wildest' parts of
the 'coast of Washington, several miles
north of the Quillayute Indian reserva
tion,' between " Destruction Island and
Cape Flattery. ' It is one of the wildest
and most ont of the way places on the
coast. I had been- shipwrecked on De
struction Island, and had been rescued
by the Quillayute Indians and had been
living with them several - years, and had
married the daughter of one of 'the 'head
men of the tribe. .-'.
- A DANOBRODS PBBCH. ' !" -.
::"1 was happy and contented, for, after
years spent -in the forecastle of a ship,
the life I led among ' the 'Indians was
comparatively pleasant and luxurious.
Besides, as f told you, I had saved up
seve'ral ' thousand' dollars. When ill a mo
ment, ' by the" .freak' of a "stupid;1 bull
headed, humpbacked Whale, I"was torn
from my home and family and cast pen
niless on the-shores of a stranger and
wilder country than the one I had so on-,
ceremoniously left, among people com
pared to whom my Quillayute ' friends
: were 5ivilied and intelligent
' '' Yciu know; of'ieourse.'hOW sea otters
are shot by the hun ter2 having a 'stand
rigged np away out aaTaf from the shore
as possible, by settirig lap three tall' poles,
so that they cross' a 'few. feet' 'from, the
top, and by building a kind of prow's
nest in the top of this frail, structure.-.- 1
had rigged up ohetf these stands away
out at lo wwter Ttnark- and made it as
comfortable as possible, and sometimes
spent '. two or y three'' .days but there, my
; wife keeping a lookout and securing any
- otters or - seala I shot. . I was' doing first
'rate, owing to -being so far out; and, al
though several . times -badly : scared by
rough weather and by Bchtiols of whales,
Which "came around my : lookout, I could
'hot think of giving it-up for a -place
Which might 1 safer, but where I Could
not kill so many otters." "" ': -
"The list time I got Info' my . lookout
was early one morning. As the weather
had "been stormy I 'Was expecting-that
otters' and seals would be coming-near
the shore, so I took along a good ' supply
of provisions and' water 'and 'plenty 'of
tobacco and ammunition, expecting; "to
stay out two or three days. As" soon as
it was light and the tide was -near the
flood, I saw a number of otters- lying
asleep in the water just beyond range,
and while -1 - was waiting - for them' to
drift down toward me along - came a
school of half a dozen or more of the
small whales common on that coast.

"They earner toward toy lookout rolling
and spouting and playing,' and at length
I saw one of them making Tight for the
lookouti" I was afraid he-would 'upset
me, and yelled at 'him, but,-whether by
accident or design' I : knew' not he
plunged between two of the poles on
which my nest was perched, and strik
ing the other with his nose shoved it
away in front of him; and over went
my nest, landing on his back; one of ' the
poles sticking straight ahead' and ' the
others straddling him as a man does a
horse. - - When I saw I was going I jump
ed and landed ' astride the whale's tail,
and quicker than a wink with, my -keen
sheath knife I cut the muscles on each
side of his tail, which prevented him
from going "down;""" I their clambered np
to my nest, and there I was afloat on a
whale," -with provisions; for -three-days
and neither sail, oar nor compass.--

-some loops- in ' the ; thick ' hide of the
"Whale and secure my lies I by lashing it
firmly to his' back. ' He struck' out from
