GEORGE HOLLAND'S JOKE.
lion-- ttie Great Comedian Once Upon a
Time Uooke:! a Policeman.
From 'The Autobiography of Joseph
JeiTerson,'" in the Century, we quote as
follows: ''George Holland was distinctly
an :ictor of. tho old school, invariably in
troducing even into modern character'
its traditions and conventionalities; h
etTects were broadly given, and his per
sonality was essentially comic. He w
quite an old man when I first knew him,
and I had serious doubts as to whether
our acquaintance in .tho theater would
be an agreeable one; for by tho tenr"'
of my engagement I was to hold a lead
ing part as the oommedian of tho com
pany, and he, who had always occupied
that station, was placed as second t
me. I naturally thought that- feeling
himself comparatively subordinate, anil
that 1, a younger man, was to outrank
him, ho would, by his manner at least,
.resent ray intrusion upon his former
ground. I was, however, agreeably mis
taken; for I found him too generous a
man to harbor any jealous feelings, and
to my gratification wc were friends from
our first meeting. It is pleasant also to
know that this relationship extended
over many years, and up to the day of
his death.
"The useful cafeer and unblemished
character of George Holland will be re
called by all who knew him. . lie lived,
a bright and cheerful spirit, in this
world for eighty years, for time could
not age his youthful heart. He was the
merriest man I ever knew. Practical
joking was a passion with him, and
though his pranks were numerous, by
some good fortune they always ended
innocently and with harmless mirth.
I remember that on one occasion, when
some goldfish had been placed in the
ornamental fountain in Union Squaro,
Holland dressed himself in a full sport
ing suit, and with a fish-basket strapped
upon hi3 shoulder, a broad-brimmed hat
upon bis head and a rod in bis hand, he
unfolded a cauip-stool. and quietly seat
ing himself in front of the fountain be
gun to fish, with such a patient and
earnest look in his faco that no one
could havo supposed that it was intend
ed as a practical joke. This strange
spectacle soon attracted a curious crowd
about the sportsman, who with a vacant
and idiotic smilo sat there quietly
awaiting a nibble. A policeman soon
forced his way through the crowd and
arrested Holland, who explained with a
bewildered look that ho was fishing in
his own private grounds. Tho police
m;i:i naturally concluded that tho in-triiiii-r
was some harmless lunatic, and
pat;i:ig him kindly on tho shoulder
bado him go home to his friends. Hol
land burst into a flood of tsars, and
while affectionately embracing the
guardian of tho law contrived to faster
the fish-hook into the collar of tho po
liceuian's coat, who walked slowly and
sympathetically away, unconsciously
dragging the line and rod after him.
The crowd, seeing tho joke, roared with
laughter, as Holland quickly mailo his
way to tho nearest omnibus, which ho
reached before, the infuriated policoman
could cato nim."
AN ODD STEAMBOAT.
Bow an Ingenious Kegrn Ituilt One Out
or Odds and Knris. '
Some amusing descriptions have been
written about the home-made steamboat
that plies on the St. Paul river, Liberia,
but very little has been said of tho mo
chanical genius who. knocked the boat
together out of material that was never
intended for a steamboat.
His name is Irons and he used to be a
slave in South Carolina. Awhile ago
he made up his mind that it was high
time there was a Steamboat plying on the
St. Paul river between Monrovia and the
first rapids. Ho secured the engine of
an abandoned sugar-cane crusher, and
wont to work to build hi3 stcamor. Ho
took a canoe fifty feet long and ripped
it from stem to stern with a saw. He
placed tho halves nine feetapart, ribbed
and plan ked them, and before long tho
hull was ready for the machinery.
Hardly any two pieces of tho machinery
were ever together before. He had to
mako a score of things before he
could induco that engine-" to turn
a paddle-wheel. He-pifeked up
bits of iron shafting 'anil so., on
hero and t"7C, ZZ'l wittt the' aid of a
blacksmith shop 'knocked them into
shape so that they would work smooth
ly together. Ho made a pair of paddle
wheels, built a deck-house, secured an
old steam-whistle, fitted up a rudder
wheel, launched his creation and was
ready for business.
This man was once an illiterate slave
on a cotton plantation, but inventive
talent was born in him. His side-wheel
steamer -is not conspicuous for speed
or beauty, but sho is serviceable,
and is noteworthy as the first
steamboat ever built in Africa and
probably tho first that was ever
built out of pickod-up material. One of
Liberia's disadvantages is tho fact that
the former slaves, who compose her citi
zens are most of them jioor, not only in
purse, but aloO in intellectual equip
ment. But sho has her men of mark like
Dr. Ulyden, who would bo respected any
where for their attainments and ability;
and sho has reason to bo proud of such a
man cii Irons, who was known for hisre
markabio inventivo and mechanical
talent long before he built Liberia's
lirst steamboat. -

A DRINK OF TURPENTINE.
the Mistake WniI Made a I -a wye r Out
- - of a Store Clerk.
"It is remarkable vrhat little irjei
lents v.-ili change the oourseof a man's
life." raid the veteran lawyer. Joseph
A. ISonlmrn, the ether day. while ia a
reminiscent -jnood, to a Philadelphia
tall reporter. 'Kovr, if it had not been
for a little mistake I should probably
nave been a country storekeeper in
stead of a latvyer."
. "How was that?" inquired the listen-.
sr.. . . I
"Well, when I was a young fellow," !
said the lawyer, "my father placed me
with Andrew Provost, an old French j
merchant, at Freiijhto--n, J., to
learn the business. Provost kept a lit
tle of everything in the store, which
wis in charge of John Jones, who r. w
keeps a store of his oxvn somewhere in
Jersey." I hadn't in-cri tUcro lor..t v.' hah
one-day an old farmer came in with a
half -gallon jug after gin. Jonen r.cnt
me dovn the cellar with the old frvria-.-i
to draw it. As I wan not familiar with
the numerous barrels ia the cellar and
didn't know much about gin, 1 conclud
ed to let the farmer try a drir.is from
the different barrels until he struck' the
right one. This pleased him. lie took
the tumbler and turned the spigot of
the first barrel.' 'Struck it first time,
said he, as he straightened tip -and
drank. Then ho tlirew him-.e!f down
on the cellar ilor and yelled like a
fiend. He had struck the turpentine
barrel. They took him over t the doc
tor's to have him pumped out, while I,
thinking the farmer was a dead man
sure, ran up to the Provost mansion
and hid in my room. I lay low all
night till four o'clock in the morning,
when I skipped out and drove to the
turnpike, where I knew the stage was
coming along at that early hour. I got
to Philadelphia by easy stages and soon
afterward found ovit that the - farmer
who drank the turpentine was . ctill
alive. I entered Theodore Cuyler's of
fice and studied law. If it had not been
for that turpentine I might have been a
Jerseyman yet."
WOMEN ON DUTCH RAILWAYS.
Long Honrs and Small Pay for Doing
, Comparatively Light Work.
The British consul at Xhe Hague says
that, as regards -the employment of
women and children on Taiiwrys, it is
stated that the latter are mos'Jy m:::e
use of at the several railway woriis,
their parents being glad of the one or
two ilorins they are able to cam for
comparatively light work. They art
occasionally put to similar work cn the
permanent way, being paid at the rate
of 75 or 80 cents. The worsen are
chiefly 'employed in cleaning the car
riages, working on an average cipkt
hours a day on the state railway, with
light work on alternate Sunday:;, and
getting 14 florins 25 cents wages pei
fortnight; on the Holland railway ten
hours a day without Sunday work,
with a daily wage of 1 florin U0 cents,
or else watching the lines, turn about
with their husbands, the "wegwach
tcrs" or cantonniers On the state
railway their work averages twelve
hours (the men taking the night duty)
and they are paid at the rate of 25
cents a day, being lodged besides; the
husbands earning 90 cents a day. On
the Holland railway the average hours
of work are about the same, t he woman
receiving pay at thes rate of 55 cents s
day, 1 florin 65 cents a week being,
however, deducted for the lodging al
lowed them.
For women with families the -rvork is
considered trying, especially when they
are kept on duty as long as sixteen
hours, as is the case at certain points,
where the traluc happens to bc. very
heavy. As regards the general condi
tions under which the persons ia the
employ of the great." Dutch railway
companies carry o.n- their work, tho tes
timony of the, numerous witnesses ex
amined by the commission, with a few
exceptions, went to. show that they are
well satisfied both as to the wages they
receive and as to the - treatment
awarded them.' 1 One witness was of the
opinion that the wages of . railway
servants compared favorably with those
of most factory hands.

A Painful Experience.
A bashful and youthful bridal couple
from the rural districts had a painful
experience at Danbury circus day, says
the, New Haven Register. . The young
hushand wrote his own name and his
wife's on separate lines of the hotel
register and the purblind clerk assigned
them to separate rooms. Each waited
for the other to set the matter straight,
but it was only after a terribly lone- -some
hour that the ' bride plucked tip
sourage and her . marriage certificate
and descended to interview the clerk.
She held out the document mutely and
the situation at last dawned upon him.
The banished benedict was summoned '
from bis seclusion and the curtain fell
amid profuse apologies. v.
TIio First Shaven. j
' Unlike the Romans of the latter age
the Egyptians did not confine the priv- j
ilege of shaving to free citizens, but -obliged
their slaves to shave both face ;
aiiu iicuu. ine uuium is not exactly ut
authentic as one would like to have " it.
but it is believed that the custom ot
shaving the beard was introduced ir
Rome in the year 300 IJ. G. According
to Pliny, Scipio Africanus was the first
Soman -who shaved daily.

afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of
12o5 Harrison street, Kansas City. He
is an old sufferer from iiiflammator
rheumatism, bat has not heretofore been

he went up into Wisconsin, and in con
sequence has had another attack. - "It
came upon me very acute and severe,"
he said. "My joints swelled and became
inflamed ; sore to touch or almost to look
at. Upon the nrvent request of inv
mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain's
Pain Balm to reduca the swelling and
ease the pain, and to my agreeable sur
