AN AWFUL. BLUNDER. A ConnterTumper M iitaket a Touni; Lilly for a W.ra lummy. A friend told me the following story, lays the lirooklyn Citizen, which dem onstrates tho fact that it alway pay.? to keep your eyes wide open, no matte! how prompt you are compelled to be in ittending to your business. It was a rainy morning about two weeks ago. ' One of our largo dry-good establishments had placed on one sid 'jf its entranco a wire dummy with rubber cloak thrown over it for the pur poso of catching the eye of some of thi female passers-by who did not possess a "Mcintosh." The young man who had received ordors to place the figure out jldo tho door was a foreigner but a diort time in tho country, l'retty soot it cleared np and ono of the cash-bey was told to bring it Inside, which h lid. In just about half an hour i lawned upon the young foreigner tha tie had forgotten something, and making straight for tho door. h proceeded to carry back the fig uro whence it came. It happened that j young lady of medium build stooi upon the spot the dummy had ocoupiet but a short time before. She had hei back toward tho window and was appar cntly waiting for a car. The youn'f mat rushed up to her, and throwing his arm about her waist, lifted her off her feet and was about to hmtle her into tin store when a shrill shriek rent the air The clerk was dumfoumled. lie blushed, turned pale, and goodness knows ho. many other colors, but was, neverthe less, conscious of the awful mistake he had made. The younir lady was about to thrash him with an umbrella which she carried when one of the floor-walk-ers appeared upon the scene. In tie meantime the young man kept hoggin tho young lady's pardon. Dut she wouk not have it, and instead of accepting hh apidogies she sought a member of the firm, who, however, was able to settle the matter amicably. The young man was not discharged either, for his mistaki was unintentional and perhaps natural in his hurry. THE PLUCKY PECCARY. Ifow a Herd of tin A-iiutiili C rri-il On i llopele Witr. They tell us we do not half appreciati the pig, that he Is really very clever, says Harper's Young HoopUi. Wi have made him stupid, they say, by overfeed ing and no exercise, that we may eat hi") ourselves. In the Western part of our country some of the pig family are known as pe.-cai'ies, and once when a train was coming they went out to meet It. The engineer of a train one day saw a number of peccaries on tho lino, which, liko American railroads gener ally, Is not proteeted by fences, and naturally thought they would run nv.n.y. "In this, however, I was very much mistaken, for when they saw us they formed two or three lines, standing close together across the tracks. There was nothing to do but run through them so I just, put, on a little more iien.1 anil wo charged down on this bat tali. . of peccaries. They never hedged m inch and tiie train cut ripht tu.-o.igh them, killing a large number i.r them. Those that wero unhurt rushed madly attl ars as they Hew mist and many were cut up under the wheels. "tociing back on I'm r turn train next day I was very much a.ionished to see those that were uithun of the hoM standing in tho same place. As soon at they heard us coming they arranged themselves In battle array and wciiad to cut through them again, killing a large number. As wo came up they be came frantic, rushing at the cow-catchet and wheels, only t be killed. ' Next day they were there again, and the same tactics were gono through. This went on, day after day, until only three wero left. These three ranged them .elves as the others had done, and we bore down upon them. I hated to kill these plucky little fellows, but I could not help it. Two of them were carried away on the cow-catcher, and Ihe other made a rush at the cars, ana the lust of the tribe was kllhsl."

The caiiDuQ-baU tree owes its peculi arity principally to the mode in whici. the flowers are borne on loC(? branch, which grow from aroniul the trunk, oommeni: ing at Its ba and coiit Luuilig many feet upward. Thi-y are arranged La terminal nwttiw and fall aooc after expanding the pstrunclo, how ever, Instead of la "-ling and withering, hardens and enlarges, proclucinj racemes of flowers in racooasion at lu extremity each season. Years afterward the woody pedicel may still be seen upon the flowering branches. So nearly does the arrange ment of the latter resemble a creeping plant growing' upon a tree that it is dif ficult to convince people to the con trary, and that they bear the flowers of the tree itself, says the English Garden er's Chronicle, which describes the flowers as cup-shaped, red within and yellowish-white without These flowers measure four inches across. The large brown, ball-shaped fruits, unlike the fragrant flowers, emit a disgusting odor, rivaled only by the flowers of termanilie belerica. The latter, when in flower, scents the at mosphere of the garden in a way which suggests to the uninitiated that tht sanitary arrangements of the district arc in a bad condition. The couroup ita forms a large tree some fifty to sixty feet in height and liears a dense mast of shining green leaves, becoming de ciduous once or sometimes twice during the year. The leaves on these occa sions fall very rupidly and are replaced again in a few days by a new set. AN UP-HILL ROAD. The Zig-zag Accent to the Capital of Ven ezuela. There are few more interesting engi neering achievements than the little narrow gauge railroad running to Car acas, the capital of Venezuela, from its seaport. La (iuayra. The distance be tween the two cities, as the crow flies supposing for the moment that he could fly through mountains is only six miles, but the railway connecting them is twenty-three miles in length, and consequently twists and turns on itself. The road runs in zigzag fashion up the mountain to an altitude of about five thousand feet above its starting point and then descends about fifteen hun dred feet in the same manner into the valley of Caracas. Twenty-two thousand rails were used in laying the track, and of these over eighteen thousand are bent. It is jest ingly said that the engineer almost died of a broken heart because he could in vent no excuse for bending the remain ing four thousand. He did his best, however, anil Pearson's Weekly thinks no one who has to ride over the line and finds himse lf shaken at every one of the three hundred and forty-six sharp twists which the track makes will find it in l,iis heart to condemn the poor man for not making a perfect Job. Two pas senger trains pass over the road daily, leaving La (iuayra ut half past eight in the morning and at half past three in the afternoon, making the journey in two hours and a half. This is a speed, exclusive of stops, of not quite ten miles an hour. FOR KILLING A COW, In Inilla They Make the I'enalty Fit tha Crime Very t'loftcly. Caste means something in India. A young man of Kyzabod recently killed a calf by accident and had to do pen ance and be an outcast for six months. The Iirahmins told him that he could not have committed a greater sin than sausing the death of a cow, but taking into consideration that he was an un educated man they would deal very leniently with him. During the period of excommunication he was ordered to lead a life of mendicancy, and with a rope round his neck and a piece of the calf s tail on his shoulders he was to perform pilgrimages to different Hin doo shrines. The members of his family were for bidden to supply him with either shelter or food under a penalty of undergoing similar excommunication. The ahir recently returned to his village, but until after the purification ceremonies he must live in a temporary grass thatched house which has been sys tematically defiled. He must then be plastered all over with cow dung, soaked in a sacred stream till he is clean and put through various other Interesting performances. INDIAN ETIQUETTE. Cnrlona Tale of an Invitation to tha Maharajah Gwnllor. A curious incident was brought to no tice in connection with the recent mar riage of the heir-apparent of the Jedh pore state. It appears that, according to the custom in vogue among native chiefs, a kharita of invitation to the royal wedding was ordered to be sent to the maharajah of Uwalior. The of ficial who wrote the kharita did not know the mode of addressing the ruling chief of Kcindia, and, therefore, re ferred to old records of the state, in which the name of the late grandfather of the present chief was mentioned. The official copied it word for word and ent it off to Uwalior by a daroga. On the kharita being presented to the maharajah of tiwalior he refused to open it, saying he could not open a kharita addressed to his grandfather, who died before the mutiny, and asked the man to take it to his samud three miles out of tiwalior. None of the rep resentatives of the Gwallor state, the Bombay (lazette hays, attended the wtdd'mg on this account. $50 A YEAR FOR LIFE Substantial Rewards for Those Whose Answers are Correct A man once entered a priaon where Iran emifme' i i'imtrmiii.it miiiuml On inahinjt a riiui't t-i i iiiniiirtiHl Into the preaence of ihf (livniieit man. ili fimlor i.a infornioil lhal none luit relnlive. acn Hviie cil to W ih prisoner.

The story is t. -iu in n I'r- ch newspa per of Ilem: I'.::r'. .t. a -T laborer jvho lived at Sevres, Cvar Paris, with his wife, J.a.me.an.1 their three, chil dren. Industrious, fnural, knowing nothing of the way to tin- w lne shop, Pierre saved all h;.; spare money, work ing Larder and harJvr. and at last bought the tlnv ott.vf in whkh they lived. It was a t ry c .:t i?", indeed built of stone . wit n t'.-d roof, stand ing amid shrubs ur,A covered with clematis. It always attracted theeya jt the traveler, on the left as he crossed the Sevres bridge. Pierre and Jeanne worked and jcraped and saved until the little cot tage was pai'l for. and made a feast when it was all done x celebrate their ownership. A landed proprietor, to be sure, does not mind an occasional ex penditure to entertain his friends. All this Pierre and Jeanne had ac complished just before the war of 1S70, with Germany. bike out. The con icription fell upon Pierre, w ho, more over, was an old soldier, and belonged to the reserves. A gunner he had been, famous for skill in hitti 'g a mark with a shell. Sevres had fallen into 'he hands of the (iermans, but the Trench guns were pounding away at tl eni from the fort on Mount Valerian, l'i nv Harlat was a gunner at that fort. a- d. one wintry day, was standing by bis gun, when 'Jen. Noel, the com.iiuruK'r. came up and leveled his field glass at the Sevres bridge. "Gunner." he said sharply, without looking at Pierre. "General," answered Pierre, respect fully saluting. "Do you see the Sevres bridge over there?" "I see it very well, sir." "And that little cottage there, at the left, in a thicket of shrubs?" Pierre turned pale. "I see it, sir." "It's a nest of Prussians. Try it with a shell, my man." Pierre turned paler still, und in spite of the cold wind that made the officers shiver in their great coats one might have seen big drops of sweut standing out on his forehead: but nobody noticed the gunner's emotion. He sighted his piece carefully, delib erately; then fired. The officers with their glasses marked the effect of the shot after the smoke had cleared. "Well hit, my man! well hit!" exclaimed the general, looking at Pierre, with a smile. "The cottage could't have been very solid. It is com pletely smashed." He was surprised to sec great tears running down the gunner's cheeks. "What's the matter, man?" the gen eral asked, rather roughly. "Parden me, general." said Pierre, recovering himself. "It was my house everything I had in the world." BEING DEAF GRACEFULLY. It la 'ecetary for the Alllicteit One to lie Able to Kiitertnlu Himself. To be handsomely and agreeably deaf Is a very elegant accomplishment, fit to exercise social talents in a high order. The person who aspires to it must check in a considerable measure a deaf per son's natural tendency t shun society and flock by himself. He must continue to mix with his fellows, and when he does so must in so far conceal his in firmity as to make it a cause for dis comfort to none but himself. However little he hears he must never seem un duly desirous to hear more, or yet in different to what is being said. How ever impossible it may be for hlra to take part in conversation, he must neith er permit himself to be bored nor to ap pear so. It is his business always to have the means of entertaining himself in his own head, so that while he con tinues in company his mind may be constantly and agreeably occupied, however little he may hear. In almost any company a deaf man to whom things which have been said have to be repeat eel is a check to free discourse; a deaf man who is eager to hear and cannot is a discomforting sight; a deaf man who is bored and wishes himself elsewhere is a depressing influence; in eithercase he had better go elsewhere. The toler able deaf man is one who, being in con genial company, can give pleasure by his mere presence, as he can take pleas ure in having his friends about him. His thoughts must run, but on what he sees and feels, and upon the ideas that come Into his own mind. A deaf man who is always able to entertain himself, and who is always glad and never over anxious to know what is going on about him, has reasonable grounds for believ ing that at least he is not an incubus upon society. If to his negative accom plishments he can add the habit of hav ing something worth hearing to say, Scribner says, he can even hope to be considered agreeable, and to have his society as welcome to ordinary selfish people as to the more benevolent. An Important Requirement. It would be untimely, says the New York Evening Sun, if the internal dis orders of the Colonial Dames should seriously threaten the society's exist ence. The standards of eligibility have not been clearly understood. It has been heeellessly thought that descent from some ancestor of reputation in the colonics established suflicient claims for membership. I!ut while such de scent was largely taken Into considera tion, it related only In part to the standard of eligibility. A woman in whose blexxl unites rills from the most noted colonial families of this city con cluded that if there were to be colonial dames there was a certain absurdity in her not being one of them and so made application. Her peeligree gave no trouble. Her right so far was plainly clear. "Hut one thing more," said the secroti.rv: "how large is your drawing room? It is quite essential that the ladies wl: un1 colonial dames should have hotif-e 'ttrge enough to enter tain." Alas! ; . lady lived in a house only eighteen r -t broad. This Im paired her claims and she was not elected. H.Z'.'H,6Ta.

The Queer Aquatic Structure ut a Jap anese Fisherman. Just as the steamer people were pre paring for their first landing there de tached itself from the background of trees along the shore the most singular aquatic structure I think I have ever seen, writes Percival Lowell in an arti cle on Japan in the Atlantic Monthly. It looked like the skeleton of some antediluvian wigwam which a prehis toric roc had subsequently chosen lor a nest. Four poles planted in the wate-f in clined to tne another at such an angle that they crossed three-quarters of the way up. The projecting quarters held in clutch a large wicker basket like the car of a balloon. Peering above the car was a man's head. As the occupant be low slowly turned the head to keep an eye on us, it suggested, amid its web of poles, some mammoth spider lying in wait for its prey. It was a matter of some wonder at first how the man got there, until the uiotiou of the steamer turned the side and disclosed a set of cross-poles lashed between two of the uprights, forming a rude sort of ladder. Curiosity, satisfied i on this primary point, still asked how he got there. As this was a riddle to me, I j propounded it to Yejiro, who only shook his head and propounded it to somebody else a compliment to the inquiry cer tainly, it not to my cho . e of inquirers. This somebody else t. ,i innt the man was fishing. Except for the immobility of the figure, I never saw a man look less like it in my life. Such, however, was the fact. Tli i wigwam was connected by strings to me entrance oi a sort of weir, and the man who crouched in the basket was on the lookout for large fish, of a kind called bora. As soon as one. of them strayed into the mouth of the net the man pulled the string which closed the opening. The height of his obssrvatory above the level of the water enublcd him to see through it to the necessary depth. I am a trille hazy over the exact details of the apparatus, as I never saw a fish inquisitive enough ti go in; but I sub mit the exis,tcuce of the fishermen In nrnof that It works.
