A butler who had been 25 years in
tlie same family went one morning io
bis master and said that he wauled to
leave, says the Weekly Telegram. The
master, much astonished, asked what
his reason was. '
"Do you want your wages raised,
John?" .
"No, sir."
"Is it. the food that you're complain
ing of?"
"No, sir." jt&k
"Well, what is it, then?"
"I'd rather not say, sir."
"Now, John," said his master, losing
his patience, "you've been o long time
in Tnv employ, ami I insist upon your
telling me."
"Well, sir," said fhebutlcr, finally, "if
you must know, it's all along of the
missus. It's nag, nag, nag from morn
ing to night, and I can't stand it any
longer."
His master sighed and then said, sol
emnly: "John, go upstairs toyour bed

upon your bended knees and thank
Heaven that you're not married to

Do not poultice an eye under any cir
cumstances whatever. Binding a wet
application over nn eye for several
Ivours, .must damage that eye, the asser
tions of those professing to have per
sonal experience in this to the contrary
notwithstanding. The failure to ag
gravate en existing trouble by binding
a moist' application over an inflamed
eye, which application is supposed to
remain fur an entire night, can only
be explained by the supposition that a

' Was Looking for a Queen.
A son of the marquis of Salisbury is
much interested in bee farming, and
this very mild hobby resulted in the
wildest kind of excitement in the neigh
borhood of Hatfield recently. It all
came about in this manner: Young
Cecil, finding one of his hives queen
less, sent an order to- Welwyn, the
nearest town to Hatfield, for a Carni-
olan queen a famous Italian bee and
asked to be informed of the probable
time of 'its arrival. The lee dealer sent
oft the bee by the next train and wired:
"The queen will arrive by 3: -10 this aft
ernoon." When Lord Cecil reached the
station to take possession of his bee
he found the place thronged. The tele
graph clerk had interpreted the tele
gram that her majesty was paying a
sudden visit to Tlatllcld, and, being un
able to keep such interesting news to
hiniBelf, the information spread like
wildfire.

published work on the birds of Korth-

The most interesting of these im
promptu clubs is the one called in thi
vernacular "The Kangaroo Court." I'
is found almost entirely in county jail
In which petty offenders and persom
awaiting trial are confined. During
the day, writes Josiah Flynt in Har
per's Magazine, the prisoners arc al
lowed the freedom of a large hall and
at night they lodge iu cells, the locks of
whicil are sometimes fastened and
sometimes not. Tbe ball contains
tables, benches, daily papers, and ir
some instances stoves and kitchen uteri
ails. The prisoners can and do walk
jump, and play various games. Aftoi
awhile these games become tiresomt
nd "The Kangaroo Court" is formed.
It consists of all the prisoners, and the
officers are elected by them. The posi
tions they fill are the "judgeship," the
"searchership," the "spankership," and
general "juryship." To illustrate the
duties of these various officials, I shall
give a personal experience iu a county
Jail in New York state. It was my first
encounter with "The Kangaroo Court."
I bad been arrested for sleeping in an
empty "box car." The watchman
found me and lodged me in the station
house, where I spent a most gloomy
night, wondering what my punishment
would be. Early in the morning I was
brought before "the squire." He asked
me what my name might be, and I re
plied that "it might be Billy Rice."
"What are' you doing "arouud here,
Billy?" he queried further.
- "Looking for work, your honor."
"Thirty days," he thundered at me,
and I was led away to the jail proper.
I had three companions at the time,
and after we had passed the sheriff
and his clerk, who had noted down all
the facts, imaginary and otherwise,
that we had cared to give him about
our family histories, we were ushered
pell-mell into the large hall. Sur
rounded in a twinkling by the other
prisoners, we were asked to explain
our general principles and misdemean
ors. This over, and a few salutations
exchanged, a tall and lanky rogue cried
out in a J jud voice:
"The Kangru will now klectl"
There were about twenty present,
and they soon planted themselves about
us in a most solemn: . manner. Some
rested on their haunches, others
lounged against the walls, and still
others sat quietly on the flagstones
As soon as entire quiet had been
reached, the tall, fellow, who, by tli
way, was the judge, instructed a half-
grown companion, whom be nicknamed
'the searcher," to bring his charges
against the newcomers. lie ap
pronched us solemnly, and in most
conventional manner, and said:
"I'risoucrs you are charged witn
havin' boodle in yer pockets. Wha'
docs ye plead guilty or not guilty?"
I was the first in line, and pleaded
not guilty.
Are ye willin' to be searched?"
asked the judge.
"I am, your honor," I replied.
Then the searcher inspected all my
pockets, the lining of my coat, the
"leutlicr bund inside my hat, my aboes
ml socks, and, finding nothing In the
shape of money, declared that I was
guiltlCHS.
"You are discharged, exclaimed the
utlgc, anil the jury ratified he decision
with a grunt.
A young fellow, a vagrant by prcfcs-
eiiui, wiiM the next cae. He pleaded
not guilty, and allowed ldmi'.elf to be
itrehcd. Hut unfortunately he had
forgotten a solitary cent which was In
lii.'i vct.t rwx'ket. It was quickly oonUe-
euleil, and he was roinundod for trial
m the charge of contempt of tho "Kan
gru." 1 ho next victim pleU'K'il guilty
to the txiUM'H.slon of thirty-Mx cents,
uml wu't relieved of half. Tbe last man,
tin! I'lilltiest of all, although he pleaded
Inri'xvrioe, waa found out, and his three
illitrs were taken away fruin him in
fctjrittr, lie, too, was charged with
contempt of court. Ills ctute came up
wkw ufter the preliminaries were over,
and lie waa sentenced by the Judge to
walk the length of 'the corridor on
hundred and two times eaoh day of hi
ronfinctnciit, besides washing all tli
dkhei um-iI after dinner for a week.
Afler all the trials were over, the
confN'-iited money was handed to the
genuine turnkey, with Inktructions tha
it Ut liivfhtcd In tobacco. Iater in tha
day the tohncco was brought into tb
Jail and equally divided among all th
prl wmers.
The next day I, with the other late
urrlv:il, was Initiated as a member of
tlio knn;rtinio court. It waa a very aim

STEWARD OF . AN. CCZAN LINER
A. Position of Responsibility with an Army
of Subordinates to Overdue.
It may surprise some old globe trot
ters to know that the big ocean grey
hounds running- between New York
and the European ports carry on an av
erage nineteen thousand pieces of
sterling silverware for their table serv
ice, and that this large amount of plate
is handled during the voyage by from
two hundred to two hundred and forty
waiters or "stewartls,"as they are called
on shipboard. The chief steward is
responsible for every piece, says the
New York Mail and Express. He must
be a man of quick powers of observa
tion, a student of human nature and be
up to all the little devices of a small
army of subordinates usually keener
and quicker witted than those found
ashore in the same calling. It is . a
busy day for the steward twenty-four
hours before the time set for departure.
He has purchased or contracted for all
the supplies and an assistant sees that
the contracts are fulfilled. But his per
sonal attention must be given to silver
ware. He. keeps a regular debit and
credit account and can tell to a tooth
pick just what he will start away with.
On the voyage passengers are apt to
lose Bpoons or forks or other ware by
accident, and occasionally a gay blade
may think it amusement to toss a sugar
bowl or half a dozen knives through a
port hole. It is needless to say that he
furnishes a quid pro quo before he
goes ashore.1 When the other side is
reached the chief steward spends a day
in balancing accounts. He started with
so much, and so much should be on
hand. If there is a difference he seeks
to find it, and if he can't find it he
makes good'' himself. The responsi
bility of such a position naturally com
mands a high salary, and every chief
steward on every ocean steamship run
ning from this port is, without excep
tion, a man of unimpeachable Integ
rity. The extraordinary record is that
in thirty years there have been but
two accusations of a betrayal of a trust.

The well-known circle on the pas
ture lands about six miles east of
Helena, near the old overland stage
road, and which bas been a curiosity
and a source of speculation for years.
is identical with the fairy rings so com
mon In some parts of England. -There
were formerly two of these rings, says
the Helena (Mont.) Independent, but
one has entirely disappeared within
the last few years. The remaining one
is about two hundred feet in diameter
and forms a perfect circle. The ground
forming the circle is about two yards
wide and quite destitute of vegetation.
Many theories have been advanced as
to the cause of these rings. Some say
that it is the result of lightning; others
that a herd of buffalo, pursued by
wolves, stopped and formed themselves
into a circle as a meant) of defending
their young, and thus tramped out the
grass. Those rings have attracted the
attention of scientific men, and recent
investigations have shown they are the
result of centrifugal development of
certain kinds of fungi, among which is
the common mushroom, which shows a
tendency to grow in this manner. The
spot where it has grown is unfitted for
its continued nourishment, and the
spawn extends outward to new soil,
forming the circle. These rings are
common in eastern Montana, along the
Musselshell river, but the one near
Helena ia tha most perfect in tha state

The horse hes been known to act in
the capacity of a defective. Tbus, in
Shelby comity, Tcun., a shocking mur-
dcr was comraitted and the trial of tho
murderer came oil in a district which
wns divided from one of another juris
diction by tho highway on which the
deed was committed. The body waa
found a few yards from the road, from
which it had evidently been dragged, .
nnd tho doubt arose as tb which civil
district the murder hid been committed
in, which gave ru;e to the probability
that tho murderer would escape conylc-t
tion.
Several months passed away before
the trial was commenced, when one of
the witueuses, mounted on the borse of
the deceased, ' and accompanied by -a
large number of persona, was riding
toward the courthouse. , When the
horse readied the vicinity of the scene
