Hilt Ttiriey'g Dlscouraglne; Experience In a G'lilcngo Itestitiirant- Hill Tutiey, of Erwin Township, Intl., emtio to Chicago on Imninesa, writes Kil It. Prilchard In tho Arkansaw Traveler. Dill funded he knew it all, and a tiling or two hesidea, so he swftfrircred around with his pants in his boots and his hat on one side of his head, swore at the bus drivers, knocked over a couple nf hotel runners at tho Union depot, and "'lowed Bheccawxo wuzent so dud-durned big 'at he couldn't find anywheres ho wanted ter ro, by jinn." So, with an impudent KO-to-thunder look In his eye and a rolling stund-buck-here BWaugor In his gait, he mowed his way along Canal street and past a long lino of hacKinen, who, sizing him up as "no bloody good," allowed him to go unscathed. He turned east on Mndison street, crossed t lie briiliro, and a few minutes later brought up nt Clark; hero he slopttcd, and, for the lirst, time, showed some signs of doubt and uneasiness. At length he stepped up to a imlii'einan, and, accosting, him, said: "Suy, I want ter go to a tavern or somo place where I kin git suthin' tor eat" "Right across the street," answered the officer, pointing with his club to a largf building on which the sign, "Restaurant Hroiiiiliist Now Heady," was conspicuously displayed. OurHoosior friend crossed over and entered. As he sat down to the table a waiter rushed up, poured out a glass of ice wuler, shoved a bill of faro under his nose, and hurried away to perform a similar office for another patron who sat opposito. A niiuuto later ho returned to Dill's cluiit anil-said: "Well, sir, what will you have!'- "Well," said Hill, slowly, "bring uio some steak 'n' onions, ham and eggs, baked tu tors, plato o' toast 'n' er cup o' coffee." The waitor had him repeat tho order, and then finding ho had gotton it right, ho sailed av;iy to have it tilled. Twei.ty minutes Inter, during which time Turk' had grown not a little fidgety and nervous, tho waiter apured with an enor mous tray-load of eatables. Klrst he de posited on the tabloa largo sirloin steak on a huge philter, Hanked by an odorous rim of fried onions; then he placed besldo it a lingo slieoof ham and throo fried eggs, then a dish of baked potatoes, and, lastly, a plato of toast, steaming hot. Hill fell to work with an air of a man who meant business; while all U"coubcIous to himself he was the target of l.ot a few in ipiisllivo oyos, he proceeded to dispatch tnat breakfast la about tho time In which an ordinary man would have disposei' of a ham sandwich and a toothpick. Having finished his meal he shoved back from tho table, piekod up his hat from tho floor, whero lie had deposited It besldo his chair, and made his way U the cashier's desk. Ho threw down a quarter and was passing on out when tho waiter came up and, plucking him by the sleeve, said: "You've forgotten your check, sir; hero It Is; please pay tho cashier." "That's all right," said Hill, gruffly, "I've settled with the cashier. 1 gin him a quar ter Joss now." "Hut, my friend," oxpoBtulated tho waiter, "your check la for two dollars. You don't expect to got a feed like that for a quarter, doyoul" "Two dollars 1" echoed Turloy In blank dismay, "1 thought twenty llveceuti a meal was tho price ovory whore." "Not much It Isn't," returned the waiter. "Mo you can just walk up and Bottle and avo trouble" Hill saw ho was In for It, so ho walked up and paid like a man. Hut as he went out he remarked: "Two dollars er bre'kfus an no great shrikes of a nieiU nuthor. Well, I kin live on choeso and crackers an' oove oysters till ter morrow; but, Lord, won't I make the grub look sick when I git back to old Krwin I" Hill got back homo all right, but ho wonders yet how pcnplo In Chicago manage to pa1) their board bills.

A Mloe of Information Condensed Into Instructive Sentences. The sea occupies throo-Iifths of tho surface of tho earth. At tho depth of about 3, .100 foot waves are not felt The tomporaturo is tho samo, varying only a trine from tho ice of the pole to the burning sun of the equator. A mile down the water has a pressure of over a ton to tho squaro Inch, if a box 6 feet deep were filled with sea water al lowed to evaporate under the sun, thoro would bo 2 Inches of salt left on tho bot tom. Taking the averago depth of the ocean to be throo miles, there would bft a layer of pure salt 280 feet thick on the bed of the Atlantic. The water is cold er it the bottom, than at the surface. In tho many bays on the coast of Norway the water often freezes at the bottom before it docs abovo. Waves are very doceptivo. To look at them in a storm one would think the water travoled. Tho water stays In tho same place, but tho motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves aro 40 feet high, and travel fifty miles an hour moro than twice as fast as the swiftest steamship. The distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times tho height, honce a wavo 5 feet high will extend over 75 feet of water. Tho force of tho sea dashing on Hell Hock is said to bo seventeen tons for each square yard. 10vaioration is a wonder ful powor in drawing the water from the sea. livery year a layer of tho en tire sen, 14 foot thick, is taken up into tho clouds. The winds hear theii burden into the land, and tho water comes down in rain upon tho Holds, to flow back at lust through rivers. Tin dopth of the sea presents an interesting problem. If the Atlantic were lowered front (1,501 feet, tho distance from shore to shore would he half as great, or 1,500 miles. If lowered a littlo moro than throo miles, say M.OSO feet, thorc would bo a road of dry land from New foundland to Ireland. This ittho plain on which tho groat Atlantic cables wero laid. Tho Mediterranean is com paratively shallow. A drying up of 000 foot would loavo throo different seas, and Africa would bo joined with Italy. The llritish channel is more liko a pond, which accounts for its choppy waves. It has been found difficult tc get tho correct soundings of the At lantic. A midshipman of tho navy overcamo the difficulty, and shot weigh ing 80 pounds carries down tho lino. A hole is bored through the sinker, through which a rod of Iron is passed, moving easily back and forth. In tho end of tho bar a cup Is dug out, and the inside coated with lard. Tho bar is made fast to the lino, and a sling holds the shot on. When the bar, which ex tends below the hall, touches the earth, tho sling unhooks, and tho shot slides off. Tho lard in tho end of tho bar holds some of tho sand, or whatever may he on the bottom, and a drop shuts over the cup lo keep tho water from washing the sand out.

Well, there are a great many womel who do that same thing every day, and there are some of them that we know simply because they seem to find pleas lire in taking odd hairpins and ilsilti. them." "Are there so many hairpins to be found on the elevated cars?'' asked the reporter. "Why, their name is legion," suit" Ned, "and most of them are to be fount either early in the morning or late iv the afternoon. It is peculiar how man.) of these same hairpins, which are fount all over the car seats, are the gilt once used by blondes. It is generally sup posed that there arc three brunettes to one blonde, yet it is a peculiar fact thai we pick up more hairpins for the use o blondes in the elevated cars than we tU black ones, and that is the reason that the lady who just got out of tho cai found so many hairpins that she coulc1 a-" ....-'- - OIL PAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OC6AN, vTrvrlt.d rcssfls anrl Drowned reopl. Al ways Kink to the Oround. i There is a rather common but eircJ i nsous notion to the effect that a human . body or even a ship will not sink to the bottom of the profoundcr abysses of ! the ocean, but will, on account of the density of the waters at a great depth, remain ausptnded at some distance above the surface of the earth. This, iccordtnjj to Scrlbner, la an error. No jther fate await the drowned sailor or his ship than that which comes to the uarltie creatures who -die on the bot tom of the sea in time their dust all passes into the great storehouse of the jurth, evn as those who receive burial in the land. However deep the sea, It lh but a few hours before the body of a autn who finds his grave in the ocean is it rust upon the bottom; it there re ceives the same swift service from the gents which, in the order of nature, are appointed to care for the dead, as xtiuea to those who are reverently in aumed in blessed ground. All save the hardest parts of the skeleton are quick ly taken again into the realm of the iving, and even those more resisting portions of the body are, in large part, appropriated by the creatures of the sea ioor, so that before the dust returns in ihe accumulating water to the firm-set ;arth it may pass through an extended jycle of living forms. The fate of animal bodies on the sea floor is well illustrated by the fact that beneath the waters of the gulf stream, where it passes southern Florida, there ire in some places quantities of bones, apparently those of the manitee, or sea iow, a large herbivorous mammal, A'hich. like the seal, has become adapted to aquatic life; these creatures plentifully Inhabit the tropical rivers which flow into the Caribbean sea, and re, though rarely, found in the streams )t southern Florida. At their death they drift out into the open water anc ire swept away to the northward bj he ocean current. For some weeks, perhaps, the carcasses are buoyed up by the gases of decomposition which are retained by their thick, oily skins; as these decay and break the bodies fall to the bottom. I SLAVERY IN PERU. , (t Goes by Another Nuino, Bat Is Bondage Pure and Simple. ' Slavery has no recognition in Peru vian law, but there are wa3's of main :aining and explaining it not unworthy f some admiration for their cleverness, l'alce, for instance, an established macra or hacienda any hacienda. Ac- ; wording to law the Indian is a free man. ' Certainly. Also, according to law, no ' man white, mestizo or Indian may leave the place where he has contracted debt until he has paid it, if his credit ors choose to enjoin (embarger) him. Now it happens that the Indians are all find always heavily in debt to the owner of the chacra where they live, and said owners do choose to enjoin them. Wherefore, concludes Harper's Maga tine, the Indian remains perpetually embargoed. When the young Indian has grown large enough to do what may be regarded as a man's work he enters service. He receives the habitual recompense of nine soles per month. On this sum he cannot live. The master knows it, the Indian knows it; but what Is to be done when such is the estab lished stipend throughout the length and breadth of the valley. The result is, receiving none of the commonest necessaries of life gratuitously, he over draws from the first. A strict account is kept of all that he obtains from his master of food, clothing, implements and knicknacks; papers of injunction arc duly served, and he is compelled to work on day after day in satisfaction of the debt. Consider another phase of the matter. If a man desires to establish a new hacienda he can obtain all the land he may need by simply "denouncing" it in due legal form, occupying and building a house on it; but he cannot secure laborers by spreading the rumor of his wishes and summoning a crowd of ap plicants from which to choose. For this he must repair to some well-stocked hacienda where there are Indians to pare, pay the debts of such as he se lects, thereby transferring the Indian with his obligation and its attendant bond of servitude from one master tc (another. QUEER WITCH STORIES. ieme People Who Still Delleve In W itch craft. What funny stories come out of Berks county, l'a., about witches and witch doctors, and those who enjoy them most are the educated Ilerks county people, who laugh nt the superstitious fears of foolish and ignorant neighbors. Not long ago the members of a family in one of the country districts were. all taken sick, and the first thing the head of the family did was to consult a witch doctor, who told him the sick people were lie witched, lie was told to drive a nail in the sill of his barn door, with & single blow of the hammer, three mornings in succession, lie did this, but it is not stuted that the sick people got well. The man insists, however, that the woman who bewitched his fam ily was killed by the nails he drove into the sill, and as an old woman in the neighborhood happened to give up the ghost his superstitious neighbors agree with him that lie lias killed a witch. In another township a young girl who was in love w ith a country youth went to a w itch doctor for a love-powder to give the young lnun that would compel him to reciprocate her affection. , She got the powder, but in giving it secretly to the young fellow she incautiously made known her desire that lie should' marry her, whereupon lie seized his hat and fled out into the wide, wide world, and he hasn't been heard from since. To Mount A Couch. "There Is such a difference," said a man on the piazza at a Clare mont tea a few days ago, "in the way n woman mounts or descends from a coach or drag. There is n certain skill about it which comes only from considerable practice. A woman in America scarce ly gets enough esperieu -e to acquire tlds, but mini)- American women who have coached a great deal in Kurope show this schooling at once. She should use only one hand to touch tho coach end the other should rest on the shoul der of the groom or the gentleman who is assisting her. Above all, she should ahow anil know no fear, a condition of .onfidence that is rarely acquired e ept after many mounts." A Paralysing Machine.

Low Wage and Bich Prices Keep tlx Working Clam In a Perpetual State at Poverty llnaneUI HM-ijhnsirreinent- The cities of Italy, the commune, and the provinces are threatened with -political extinction as well as with financial ruin, says an Italian corre spondent of the New York Independent. In Naples the city treasury is not only empty, but there is a deficit in the municipal revenue this year of 6O0,000 or more. Home is also in a bad way financiaUy, and so are Florence, Genoa, Milan, Turin, and other cities of the peninsula In some of the cities build ing speculators have been driven to such desperate straits that the national gov ernment has been forced to advance them money in order to prevent whole sake bankruptcy and ruin. As a result of all this the people are burdened with enormous taxes and debts. It may be doubted whether any modern nation is so heavily pressed as Italy. It would be an easy matter for the people to re cover their losses were it not for the immense burdens laid upon them by the national government. All kinds of lo cal improvements, sanitary as well as others, are at a standstill because the people cannot pay the costs. Some idea of the burdens which the people of Italy are enduring may be gathered from a brief glance at a few of the most important taxes. Income from landed estates pays a tax of 43 per cent, for national and local purposes; rent on houses pays 34 per cent.; the earnings of merchants are taxed 13 cents on the dollar. All in comes above Sl'JO pay one-seventh of the amount to the government. A school teacher receiving KOO a year has to pay a tax of about $J7. Cab drivers and railway employes also endure enormous burdens. To make all this worse the government imposes a heavy duty on nearly all the necessaries of life. There is a tax on imports and there is a tax on exports. It would look as if a man were taxed for being taxed. The duty on sugar makes that important article of food costs from 15 to 'JO cents a pound. Tea costs from 80 cents to $1, coffee from 40 to 00 cents, according to quality. Bread is very dear, as there is a duty of 20 per cent, on imported wheat. The people pay, either directly or indirectly, nearly one-third of all their earnings to the government. Hundreds and thou sands of farmers have been ruined by the intolerable burdens of taxation. One would imagine that, if taxes d the cost of living were so high, wages would be correspondingly high, but just the opposite is true. Farm laborers get but 20 cents a day on an average. Ar tisans receive from 30 to 40 cents a day, and are not regularly employed at that The wages of women are so small as to make a man blush to name them. In the rice fields of northern Italy women wade to their knees twelve hours at a stretch for 10 cents. The straw plaiters of Fie sole, Prato and Leghorn make from 8 tq 10 cents a day. Their poor fingens fly like spindles from early dawn till late at night. Skilled labor is better paid, but (1 a day is considered good pay. A few workers in stone and marble, bronze and silver, make from 13 to f S per day. SIGNED THE WRONG WILL. Be Put Ilia Name to Ills Wife's. W1U Id tead of His Own. A very curious case, in which a hus band executed a will which had been prepared for his wife, and the wife exe cuted a will which had been prepared for her husband, has recently been de clared by the general term of the supreme court of New York, in the Fourth judicial depart ment (Syracuse). John and Jane Nel son, being husband and wife, wanted to make wills, each ill favor of the oth er, and employed William Cowie to pre pare the instrument, which he did in due form. The wills, says the Boston Argus, were read and placed upon the table for signature. Each then signed one of the wills, made the requisite declara tion as to the character of the instru ment, and asked the subscribing wit nesses to sign. After execution the wills were sealed up in an envelope, which was not opened until after the husband's death, when it was discov ered for the first time that each had by mistake signed the will intended for the other. The wife brought suit in the supreme court to correct her hus band.s mistake in signing the wrong will by reforming the language of the will which he did actually execute, so as to make it conform to that which he certainly intended to execute. Her complaint was dismissed at the special term. however, and the appellate branch of the supremo court holds that the dismissal was right. Mr. Justice Martin, in the opinion of the general term, says in substance that there is no will to correct, '.t.vause the husband did not make uny will at all. The in strument that he executed was his wife's will and of no more legal signifi cance than if it had been a blank piece of paper. No precisely similar case is reported in New York, but there are English and Pennsylvania decisions in point adverse to the position of the wife. BLUFFED BY A DUMMY. Clever Scheme of an old Timer to Ward oir the Law Mlnlom. The Trinidad (Col.) Chronicle relates an incident of Joe Simpson, an old timer, who recently died in that city. Joe owned a piece of land near town, on which he one day found a corps of sur veyors running a line. He promptly drove them off with a 44-caliber re volver. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest, but the deputy sheriff who attempted to serve it was held up by the furious frontiersman, his gun and belt emptied and himself sent back tc town quicker than he came. Anticipating a visit from a posse ol men, Simpson took an old suit ol clothes, stuffed it with grass, placed the dummy in a chair at the door of his cabin, surmounted the figure with s wide-brimmed sombrero and arranged a broom to give the innocent effigy thf appearance of preparing to send a bullet through any one who might approach. Simpson then hid In an adjacent corn field and awaited developmt-nts. The posse finally arrived, and, catching sight of the figure in the doorway, held a hurried consultation and finally beat a retreat. Simpson was a highly amused snectator of the and the next day he came to town anj gave tumself ud. One Smofl Bile !Vn every night fort WMharvause Torpid Llvera. Jric par boiUa.
