A NOBLE REVENGE,
"I am very sorry that thU should
hive happened. Miss Etherege; you
have met nil my requirements iit every
respect. In au establishment of this
sort one is foieed to be exceedingly
careful, almost over-cautious, as one
may say. 1 think you will tind your
salary quite correct "as ta the amount."
Mrs. Carter, the smooth-voiced and
gracious proprietress" of the Minerva
Academy for Young Ladies, smiled as
sweetly as if she were riot cutting off
poor Agnes Etherege' s dependence for
daily bread, as she laid the money on
the teacher'; lap.
I understand," Agnes said, grow
ing quite white, and with a strange
quiver in her voice, 'Mr. Lundie has
been talking to you."
Mrs. Carter pursed uk her lips.
"I am no at liberty to give the
name of my informant." she said
primly, "but the promptitude with
which" yon guess at the name of a pos
sible suggest or certainly would give
the Idea that yon weni prepared for
f onte such accusation."
Agnes rose tip wearily. Of what
ua were defense, argument, pleading?
Did not Hngh Lnndta's vengeance fol
low her cverywhevo, blighting her
every prospect? Fad he not said to
her, "with a greeu. glittering light in
those cruel eyes o't his, ! will yet com
pel you to be my wife?"
Ji'o; he eoufd not tto that. She
might starve; she might suffer for the
actual rjstfcssaries of life; siie might
even be driven to tht-nv herself, some
of these stormy nights, Jnto the black,
chilly abyss of the cruel river, to find
oblivion for good and all; but she
never would marry him.
This was tho third situation of which
his subtle scheming had deprived her.
She was alone and helpless in the
world; he. was strong and powerful.
Why was it that one human creature
had power to exert such evil influence
over another? .
She went home, with a dull, fixed
lo-ik in her eyes, and a deadly white
i.ess on her cheeks. What could she
do now? For she was weak, and
voung, and slender, and perilously
beautiful, and ttie world was so relent
less anil cruel.
Agnes Eihcrege was working out
the problem that many other human
souls struggle through; and how do
we know how many sink eternally in
the strife, and never are heard of
more?
T' 'n lodging where she kept
.hent'.iuuK. and which she dignified by
the title of "home. had never before
seemed so high ti and diilicult of ac
cess, lint When ,iie opened the door
sae started back with a low cry. It
was no longer dark, chill and silent.
Lights burned oa the mantel, and a
gret fire of high-heaped coals roared
tip tho chimney, while a shrewd-faced,
little old man. browa and keen, with
glittering eyes, like a human squint L
sat spreading his hands over the blaze.
Ah !" He looked tip with a nod.
""You are Agnes. I suppose? You
don't know me of coorse?"'
"No, sir," said Agnes, half expect
ing to see the whole scene melt and
dissolve, yke the fabrication of en
chantment; ,I do not."
"Well, I don't know how you
should," said the old man. "Tin your
Uncle Tobit. I've come home to live.
Kindostan's a very nice climate, but
it's a little shaky when one has passed
one's 60th year. I'm going into the
banking business. I want you to keep
house for me. Yes, I know; you al
ways supposed I was dead out in the
east. I let your mother think so. I
was a wild chap iu my day, and no
particular credit to any of my rela
tives; and when I had a decent record
to show her, why, she was dead.
That's all over and gone-no use cry
ing over spilt milk. Come.".
And Mr. Daniel Tobit rose up and
seized a yellow alpaca umbrella, which
apparently constituted his sole stock of
baggage.
"Are 3'on ready? I can have a fly
at tne aoor in nve minutes.
"But, uncle
The old man chuckled.
"Say it again; it sounds good
uncle!' -
' "Where are we going uncle?" asked
Agnes, her heart beginning to warm
strangely toward this eccentric old
man.
"To ray agent's. He has hired a
house for me somewhere and furnished
it with something. 1 dare say it will
do well enough as long as the roof
don't leak and the cellars aren't damp."
And Agnes Etherege. feeling as if
she were in i dream, allowed herself
to be led away from the old room and
the old life, and the drearily brooding
snaaows or the past.
Uncle Daniel Tobit loaded her with
luxuries hung her with jewels as if
she had been a glittering eastern idol,
and anticipated her slightest wish.
Agnes had no more loneliness and
penury now yet thai one thing over
which she most rejoiced was the com
plete severing of aught resembling a
link between her new life and her old.
Hugh Luadie did not know where
she was now. He could never track
her to this Uveo of peace. The Lord
liad at last provided for this poor, lit
tle shorn laiob!
Yet, withal, she bad a sort of shud
dering horror of him still. Once
when he paed within a few feet of
her carnage window as she sat oppo
site a Regent btreet shop, waiting" for
her uncle, sh 'sank back, white and
trembling, anijng the warm cushions,
as if the shadi-w of some evil spirit's
wing had fallen across her.
"Is it wicked." she asked herself,
"to hate him?"
And once as she sat, all furs, and
silks, and jewels, in her uncle's private
office at the bank, she saw the face
pass the little curtained window.
"Uncle," she faltered,' 'what is that?"
v"I don't know what you mean,
chi4." said the little brown-visaged
capitalist.
"The rnanwith the blue necktie and
the reddish mustache there, just be
yond the desk." ""-
"A new clerk, I believe," aid Uncle
Tobit. Reduced gentleman sickly
wife necessitous circumstances afl
that sort of trash. Name of Lundie.
Xgw, my dear, I await your com
mands." -
Ami as Agnes Kthercgo ' & -:; !.
of the bank, closely veiled and leaning
on her uucle's arm, Hugh Lnndio
never knew whose were the eyes fixed
mournfully upon him.
"I will try to forgive him," elm
thought; "but t never want to speak
to him or hear his voice ngain."
It was New Year's Eve :t dark, dis
mal uight of suovv and tempest Miss
Ethereire was sittins alone in her
pretty baudoir, when a card was
brought her.
"Mrs. Hugh Lundie."
She couhHiardly decide what course
would bo best for her to adopt, when
the rustliug of silken skirts were heard
on tho threshold, and n palo, pretty
looking little lady stood before her.
"You are Mr. Tobit's daughter?"
Asked the stranger, in such appealing
accents.
"You are mistaken," Agnes an
swered, her heart at once softening
towards this wau, shadowy creature.
"Not his daughter, but his niece."
"It is all the same," Mrs. Lundie
rejoined, hurriedly. "I we have
coma to ask a favor of you. Your
faeo is kind and gentle I have faith
to believe that you Will grant it."
And, without wailing for Miss Eth
erege's reply, she told one of tho pit
eous stories which may be too often
divulged bv bank clerks and emnloves
a tale of misplaced trust ami be
trayed confidence of money stealthily
borrowed from the funds of the bank
to meet pressing exigencies, in the
fond certainty that fortunate specula
tions wculd enable it to bo paid of
ruin, disgrace, impending dismissal
and arrest.
And the story, told by the wife's
lips, was of a. husband's dishouesty and
deficiency. ."
As the poor young creature con
cluded her sorrowful tale she threw
open the door.
"Your influence over your uncle is
said to be unbounded."" she added.
"Oh. surely, sure! v. you will use it for
our sakes! Dear Hugh, come yourself
aud plead for what is dearer and more
precious to yon than life your honor
your good name among men!"
And before Agnes could speak to
interpose she was face to face with
Hugh Lundie, the persecutor of her
former j-ears, the bumble suppliant
for her influence now!
In the same instant he saw and rec
ognized her. A crimson spot mounted
to his cheek he grew pale as death.
"Agnes Ethereger'
Miss Etherege, with a face sweet
ami serene as a pictured saint, turned
to his wio.
-Your favor is granted. Leave me
now!'"
For old Daniel Tobit never refused
anght to his niece and Agnes Ether
ege felt that she was more than re
venged the moment when Hugh bun
die's wife, as ignorant of the past as
she was hopeful of the future, came
with happy tears to thank her for the
mercy that had been extended to her
erring husband!
Pompeii of England.
A British Pompeii has just been dis
covered near Reading in Berkshire on
the great Strathfeldsay estate of the
duke of Wellington, says a London
dispatch of the Dun lop cable company.
It is a true city, not a mere camp, and
when full3" excavated will throw light
upon the domestic life of our remote
ancestors of more than one thousand
years ago. The city now being laid
bare is the Brito-Uoman Silchesler.
The whole area has been free from all
building operations ever since the
Unman occupation of Britain, iu fact,
the soil is virgin. havinr been pasture
land for centuries. The excavation
committee has already succeeded in
revealing to the nineteenth century
eyes lifeiu a British city that hail a
long existence in a day of which his
tory is almost silent. The task of ex
cavation is a tremendous one. but the
work is being prosecuted as funds
come in.
An exhibition will lie opened at the
Burlington House. Piccadilly, within a
few days which will present features
of extraordinary interest. On the
walis will be hung a luisre plan of the
buried city, marking whereabouts the
streets, walls, gates, houses baths,
temples, forum and ba-iiica stood. The
excavations have brought to view the
remains of an important house orna
mented with mosaic floors and con
taining rooms heated ! hopocausto.
Among the articles to be exhibited are
potsherds, bpnes, combs, bronze uten
sils, fragments of good glass vessels,
pieces of ironwork, chiefly tools, in
cluding carpenters planes, chisels,
axes, hammers, gouges, anvils and
some edged tools, sharp enough, even
after being buried for ten centuries, to
work witli'now. The city was laid out
with great regularity in squares like
Salisbury and Winchester iu medieval
times.
Strange feelings are- excited by the
6ight of a piece of tile upon which a
baby must have trodan while the clay
of which it is formed lay drying in
the brick-maker's yard. The prints
of the little toes are distinct, and the
entire fool is perfectly marked. There
are very fair specimens of pottery from
coarse Celtic ware to delicately molded
vessels embellished with artistic de
signs of human and animal figures and
symbolic devices. There are two sets
of human bones, skeletons of imma
ture infants or dwarfs, as also need
less and other articles of household
use. Among these it is curious to
note a key ring and safety pin, with
other toilet and table requisites, much
resembling those in present use. There
is one bangle almost a fac-simile of
those worn in India and seen in our
jewellers' shops to-day.
Not a l'nnny Man.
"I remember a frieud of mine," said
Squire Johnson to the Cincinnati
Times-Star man, "who considered him
self fnnny. He went to a prominent
jeweler on Fourth street and purchased
a watch for $50, receiving a written
guarantee that the watch would keep
good lime for a year. If the watch
failed the purchase money was to be
refunded. Well, my frieud was called
to Europe soon after that aud spent
several months traveling about various
parts of the earth, and it happened that
he returned to Cincinnati on the very
day the guarantee of his watch ex
pired. Asking me to accompany him
we went to the jewelry store, and call
ing out the proprietor my friend laid
down the guarantee, which the jeweler
read and then expressed himself ready
to fulfill his contract. The watch was
placed upon the counter and was found
to be jnst one-half minute too fast.
The jeweler placed it carefully in a
drawer, and, going to his safe, counted
out five crisp ten - dollar bills and
passed them to my friend with a smile.
Yes, but I don't want the money,' he
stammered; -give me back my watch.
It was only meant as a little pleas
antry.' 'I have complied with my
contract,' replied the jeweler, -and I
only meant a little business.' ' "But I
must have that watch,' said the
thoroughly disconcerted funny man.
Well.' replied the jeweler, proceeding
with his work, I consider a watch that
varies only one-half of a minute iu a
year is worth more than $50. I will
sell you the watch for f 100.' So cha
grined that he hardly knew what he
was doinff. my facetious friend paid
over the $100 and pocketed the watch.
When you need another good watch
give me a call,' said the jeweler merri
ly as we took onr departure. Well, do
you know. I never heard of that fellow
doing a funny thing since."

is becoming quite a retailer of anec
dotes, says the N. Y. Herald. While
the committee was discussing percent
ages of freight a gentleman represent
ing the Southern Pacific ingouiously
suggested an alleged equitable plau,
which, however, had a hidden clause
which would give his road the best
bite of the pie. This feature of the
plan was at once seen by the "Little
Wizard." "It reminds mu of a story
about a friend of mine," he said. "He
was getting quite old and about ready
todio when it occurred to him that
it would be a good thing to divide up
his property before he breathed his
last. Calling his sons aud daughters
around him ho said to them: -Now,
my dear boys and girls, I feel that mv
end is quite uear. I intend to divide
up tny estate before I get any worse,
so that there shall be no trouble w hen
I go.' This proposition was accepted
by the children with acclamation.
"My friend got his lawyer to draw
up the papers and then set about to
divide the assets. Ho unlocked his
strong box and took out all his bonds
and securities. He first lifted tip it
bundle of very shaky bonds and put
them aside, saying to himself. -These
will do for Johnny.' Then ho came
across somo rattletrap stock and he
gathered them in a heap. These will
just about provide for Tom,' he said,
appearing satisfied. Iu this style he
went on dividing up his assets among
the di tie rent heirs.
"Presently he stumbled across a
bundle of prime 7 per cent New York
Central bonds, the best ami most val
able he had so far found. His eves
lighted up. Glancing at the provWiou
he had made for his children, and lick
ing his chops at the thought of the
packet he held in his hands, ho said:
Well. I guess I'll keep these for mv
self."' This story turned the lanh very
considerably against the Southern Pa

How Gen. Hooker tiot His Charger.
"Gen. Banks's stoi v about his war
charger, sai.t Pension Attorney Bond,
"recalls to mind one Hooker rode in
18(3. nnd especially at the battle of
Chaucellorsville. Few people know
how Hooker came by that horse. I
will tell yon. When Sickles corps
was camed on Good Hope Hill, just
across I he eastern branch, and about a
quarter of a mile alw.ve tho residence
of Fred Douglass, I happened one day,
while out foraging for something to
eat, to' run across a milk-w hite Arab
ian stallion that had been hidden in
the pines by his master. I took the
horse into camp, aud Gen. Sickles,
who was a connoisseur of horseflesh,
no sooner put his eyes on him thau he
recaptured him from me. I made no
remonstrance, however, as the horse
was of no use to me.
"A few days later the owner of the
Arabian came into camp, identified his
horse and claimed him. Sickles held
that he was a confiscated horse, and
refused to give him up. Then the
owner went to Secretary Stanton for
relief, and made affidavit that he was
a loyal man, aud came back to camp
with the order from Stanton to Sickles
to deliver the horse. In the mean
time the horse had disappeared. He
turned up, however, in iSew York city
a few days later as the property of
George W'ilkes, but neither Stanton
nor the horse's owner was aware of
these facts. When the matter was
quieted down, one day an item ap
peared iu the papers that George
Wilkes had presented a thoroughbred
Arabian war charger to Gen. Hooker.
"That was how tho horse came into
Hooker's possession, and how he came
to ride him at the battle of Chaucel
lorsville. He was one of the finest
specimens of his race, and when seated
on him Gen. Hooker was not only tho
best mounted officer in the Union
army, but he was far and away the
handsomest. " Globe-Democrat.

"Did 3'ou notice that well-dressed
youug man," said the proprietor of a
Harlem cigar store, ."who just bought
a five cent cigar? Ordinarily you
could not induce that young man to
smoke a five cent cigar under any cir
cumstances if that young lady wasn't
with him, and didn't you hear "him call
for a five cent cigar? They have jnst
come from the opera, and as they live
but a few blocks from here they will
walk home, and she is practical enough
to know that her beau would relish 'a
smoke in the meantime. Generally he
smokes 15 cent cigars and lives very
extravagantly-. He is now thinking of
settling down, and as the young lady
is worth a little money "which was
acquired by hard work and prudent
living on the part of her parents he is
fully aware of the fact that, while the
joung lady does not object to her
future liege having a small vice, she
would naturally shrink at the extrava
gance of her husband smoking 15 cent
cigars. He is, therefore, cute enough
in her presence to make believe that
he is of the prudent kind himself.
Wait till they're married and he hand
les her money. High tariff or low
tariff, he will then smoke 15 cent
cigars altogether." N. Y. Telegram.

TRAPS FOR ANIMALS, f'
How Man') Ingenuity lta the littler or
tlrutn Instinct,
The wny to a man's heart is through
his stomach, nnd tho proverb holds
good with anlmnls iu a greater degree,
says the N. Y. Ih rald. With suitable
bait they are thrown off their guard
nnd become easy victims, for tho idea
of getting something to eat is so large
that it shuts out all others for the time.
Alaskan Ush-hooks am often mere
curved 'pieces of bone, w ith no barb,
and not even sharp nt the point. They
are only hooks to hold tho bait When
the fish shuts his jaws on the prospec
tive food he seems to forget how to
open them and is drawn out.
In Alaska ptarmigan are driven
toward a long line of slip-nooses fasten
ed closely together. Partridges are
easily drireu into nets by a man on
horseback a thing to bo regretted by
real sportsmen.
Eugllsh sparrows may bo caught by
a running noose of horse-hair hung on
a tree or window-sill. Horse hair is
gold lace to a sparrow for nest build
ing, nnd they will pull at the uoose un
til they get ft around the bg or worth
less neck.
In Japan they have a novel way of
catching ducks" by "needles."" Along
striug is fastened to the middle of a
thin piece of boue. ThU bone is baited
and thrown out upon lily leaves, while
one end of the line is made fast to a
yielding branch. The duck swallows
the bait, but when ho attempts to fly
away the line pulls the ueedle crosswise
in his interior and "toggles," as the
bailors say.
"My father caught twenty-five wild
turkeys in a trap like this," said a
friend of mine. "He made a pen ,of
rails nnd dug an inclined way uuder it.
For several days previously he scattered
corn uear the peu td familiarize the
turkeys with the spot; then he threw
corn uloog the inclined war and in the
pen, aud caught the whole'llock. You
see a turkey won't stoop its head to go
out by the way it came in. but tries to
get out by thrustiug its ueck between
the rails."
There are funnel traps, labyrinth
traps, set nets, fish-pots. lobster-pots,
and fish-slides for the deni.ens of the
waters, while there are spring traps,
deadfalls, snares, spring-guns, etc., in
wait for land animals. Then there are
decoys. The Samoan live pigeons de
coys are admirably trained. The na
tive, provided with a net with a long
handle, sits behind a blind and sends
out a tethered trained pigeon, which
has been taught at the jerk of a string
to hover around as though descending
upon food. This action brings clown
the wild pigeon from the trees, and
when it is engaged with the decor the
native "scoops him in" with the iiet.
For ingeuuily joue is almost tempted
to say diaholics. I in trapping the
Esquimau excel. They betid up
sharpened slips of whalebone, freeze
them into balls of fat. nnd throw them
c ut for bears. The In'ar swallow s the
fat, which melts in his giomach. set
ling free the whalebones, w hich expand
and pierce his inwards. This device is
anpiopriately called "sleep a night and
die."
Another ruse of the Esquimaus is to
grease a sharp knife-blade and set it up
for the wolves to lick. These animals
will lick the knives until their tongues
are in ribbons and they bleed to death.
This is hardly a trap, but it is a shrewd
way to rid the world of rnveuous
wolves.
THE ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH.
Soma of the S or prior That Attend that
Kttlrmat of Katates.
The general surprise that the late
Mr. Fayerweather. a man of whom lit
tle was known outside of a very limited
personal circle. should turn out to have
!ett the possessor of millions empha
sizes the difficulty, says the N. Y. Mar,
of obtaiuing knowledge regarding the
real extent of people's means. Pub
lished lists of millionaires are prover
bially unreliable, not only from the
inaccuracy of the estimates given, but
from the omission of the large aud in
creasing class of what may be termed
silent millionaires." This is not
strange, for even the mercantile agen
cies, whose business it is to rate the
credit of men engaged in business, do
not pretend to give any accurate figures
on private wealth not actually em
ployed as capital in trade. The way
the general public and eveu the finan
cial world, can be mistaken about men
of wealth is sometimes strikingly illus
trated. The late Moses Taylor was
supposed in his lifetime to be worth
from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Wheu
he died his estate was worth $25,000.
000 or more. On the other hand, one
of the Bostou Thaycrs was believed to
possess a score or more of millions.
Yet it is stated that he left behind him
wealth which, though large, was com
paratively much below w hat had been
credited to him.
The "silent millionaires" are indeed
difficult to track. They are either
people who have inherited wealth and
keep out of business, or men who,
though in business, keep on the beaten
track and avoid public or commercial
Erominence. Nearly every Wall street
roker or banker aud real-estate peo
ple could, if they would, furnish long
lists of such individuals, whose very
names are not known to the public at
large. Another class whose knowledge
of the facts about people's real means
are extraordinary are bank and trust
company officers and the managers of
safe-deposit vaults. But such knowl
edge is in these quarters regarded as a
professional secret, and the "silent
millionaires" go on clipping their cou
pons, collecting their rents, and. as a
rule,livin quietly and saving their in
comes. The number of New York
ladies whose wealth counts up into the
seven figures is also surprising. There
arc, according to the estimate of a
careful observer, over 100 women in
New York worth iu their own right
$1,000,000 or rjore, and some of them
show double figures in the million
column too. As this wealth is mainly
inherited, its possessors do not attract
public attention unless their husbands
happen to attain prominence of some
kind.
Mine. Nilsson's I'omliieg Tor Poker.
"Io you know what's the matter
with Nilsson. the famous concert
singer?" remarked Capt. A. II. Mat
tox. "She's a poker fiend, and has in
jured her voice through her passion
for the green cloth. I don't know
whether she still stays up of nights
playing poker, but she used to. 1 re
member some years ago when I was
writing musical criticisms for tho En
quirer I sent mycard up to the madam
at her hotel aud requested an inter
view. She sent word for me to come
up. I found her playing poker with
Marcus Mayer and Henry Abbey. She
was expecting a visit from a clergy
man madamryou know was religious.
Well, tho clergyman came, but before
he was admitted the paper chips and
cards were hastily covered up. Madam
had just won a jack-pot and was in
tensely interested iu the game, but
when "the clergyman entered he found
her demure and apparently fully real

and that it was the duty of every true
Christian to even up matters by being

excellent acting. The clergyman re

HEROIC TREATMENT.
How Two Squaws Cured at Wl.lle Man of
Krrer and Ague.
After a week or ten days the fever
somewhat 'aba ted, says a writer in
Fort.it and nnd Peter, taking
my double-Wireeled riflo by way of
armament and half a dozen "hard bis
cuit by way of grub, gave notice of
two days' absence, and, buckling his
blanket about him, went off tip the
trail.
Late in Ihe evening of tho second
day while I was lyiug on the bearskin
with swimming braiu and a fevered
brow he came back but not alone.
Two strong, athletic squaws, each tot
ing a large pack, were his companions.
He Introduced them as '-Ole Blackbird
squaw aud he gal; pooty young squaw
great medicine."
The elder of the two was about as
tough, leathery-looking a specimen of
aboriginal ugliuess as I have ever
fallen in with, aud making due allow
ance for difference in age the daugh
ter was the perfect model of her. They
both cast their loads unceremoniously
aside and the elder proceeded at once
to business. Watching me closely as
she did bo she rolled a large handful of
leaves in her hand until thej- were par
tially pulverized, then passed them
over to the younger squaw, who soon
made a pint of very bitter tea from
them which I was told to drink. I
managed to gulp it down, hot and bit
ter as it was. and the old squnw then
seized me without ceremony, packed
me snugly in bearskin and ' blankets,
after which she and her daughter,
wrapping their own blankets about
them, lay down on either side of me.
crowding me in a manner more close
than pleasant.
I trust King David's medicine, which
answered the purpose so well, was not
a squaw or. if she were, that she was
young and good-hwikiug.
My leathery belles answeretl. how
ever, to help get up a copious jH-rspira-tion.
which was just what they intend
ed, aud when I awoke from'lhe first
sound refreshing sleep I had enjoyed
for weeks it Avas with a cool, clear
head and limbs free from pain.
With the rise of the sun the con
founded ague beg:-.! ti to threaten me,
and Mrs. Blackbird, with the help of
her iuteresliug daughter, proceeded to
iane measures tor expelling it in a
manner quite as novel and original as
ner treatment of fever, first she un
did a bundle of dirty blue cloth and
took therefrom several bundles of
neatlv bound, minute luigs. I had
heard some hard stories of "whippiu'
out the ager." and smelted a pretty
extensive mice immediately, but on
the whole concluded to o through,
SO 1 sutfet ed I hem to divert me of my
clothing and sei.e me linnlv bv the
wrists, and made no objection even
wheu Mrs. Blackbird began to apply
the switchings gently to the bare skin.
Gradually the blows increased in rapid
ity aud severity. Old Peler. who had
stood by as a spectator nt first, stepped
forward nnd seized a wrist liruilv in
each hand, so suddenly that I had no
time to object; and the whipping im
mediately became energetic and gen
eral. Each of the squaws with a
switch in each hand vied with the
other iu rapidity of hitting, and as the
sluggish, torpid blood strove to dash
with answering speed through the
tingling veins the pain became unen
durable. I had resolved to bear all
that was asked of me in hope of a rad
ical cure, but the torture was too
severe, aud I ordered them to desist,
tryiug at the same time to wrench my
self loose from Peter. They only
laughed and laid on the harder." I be
came road with pain and went in on
my muscle, biting and buttiug furious
ly at old Feter and giving the leathery
females ungallaut kicks about the ribs
and abdomen a proceeding that made
them laugh all the more and brought
down the" switches with increased
vigor. I entreated and cursed by
turns, tried bribery aud flattery, beg
ged for a resting spell, aud threatened
death to the party or conspirators im
mediately I got loose, but all in vain.
They flogged tne for a time that
seemed an age, and only let me off
when I was too exhausted to stand
alone. Then I was again enveloped
iu skins nnd blankets, wheu, strange
as it may seem, I alino.-t immediately
fell into a deep slumber, from which "I
did not awake until evening. When I
did awake it was with a general sense
of soreness nil over the outer man; but
where was the ague? ('one. Com
pletely cured, as well as the fever.
A Hank: on wtieeia.
New Zealand has a bank on wheels.
On certain days of the week a clerk
from one of the Palmerston banks
travels up and down the railway line
from Palmerston to Otaki, transacting
the ordinary business of the bank en
route. Laden with a sachel contain
ing his supply of cash, and provided
with a teller's usual precautions against
danger of robbery, he makes the car
riage his headquarters and there re
ceives visits from customers at the way
stations, changing checks or taking
deposits as occasion may require. This
plan is said to bring a good share of
grist to the bank's mill, and proves a
great convenience to settlers, who are
saved all the trouble of journeying to
towns to relieve themselves of surplus
money or procure change. This will
probably continue until some bold
rascal interviews the clerk and cleans
out his bank.

INDIAN SIGN LANCUACE.
How Thar Talk with Their Hands Tba
Maaalus of Blanket ftlgnal.
All Indians tire able to undorttand
each other and to converse freelt by
means of their sign-language. " The
signs differ materially among different
tribes, but are all so significant as to
permit of no doubt as to their meaning.
The sign-language Is the easiest of all
languages to learu, as almost ever
symbol is founded upon reason.
Suppose au Indian and a whito man,
riding together on the prairie, meet
another Indian. The hitler is sus
picious. He raises his hand, palm
outwards. This menus "stop." He
then points to the white man. The
other Indian understands him to mean
that he is suspicions of his companion.
Pointing with the right forefinger
several times Indicates, "Whoare you?"
If a Crow, the Indians raises both his
hands to his cms and flaps them like
wings. It a Blackfoot, ho raises his
foot aud strokes thu sole. If a Sioux,
he draws his hand across his throat.
Polutiug toward the white mau the
Indian Is understood to ask: "Who is
he?" The first Indian by crooking his
two fore lingers together, informs the
stranger that he is a friend. Suppose
he pats each breast with his fore
linger and points to the while mau and
then to himself, he means that the
white-man is a very dear friend or a
brother. This sign signifies that they
both nursed the same mother.
Now, suppose the Indian wishes to
indicate to the one who is the compan
ion of the white man that he knows
differently and considers the latter to
be a bad man. he raises his right hand
to a level with his right ear, extends
the first two lingers aud passes his
hand in a straight line across his chest
toward his left shoulder. This means,
'Your last statement is not true." If
he then throws bis right hand outward,
scattering his fingers, he means, "He
is a bad man."
A brave man would be indicated
among the Sioux by clinching the list
aud thumping the breast once.
The signs for death are graphic. To
say "he is dead'1 au Indian would raise
his forefinger and drop it back down
ward to a horizontal position. Dying
is indicated by moving the forefinger
slowly downward toward the earth.
For uearly dead, but recovered, an
Indian will use the last sign, but will
slowly raise the linger again. For
"killed" a sort of stabbing motion with
the right hand is used.
The elements are indicated in just
the manner oue would expect. A cir
cle formed bv the forefinger and thumb
of oue hand fn some tribes, and of both
iu others means "the suu." A semi
circle formed by tbo forefinger ud
thumb of one hand means 'the inooa."
The hands raised with the fingers
hanging downward aud then dropped
several times as if shaking water off
means "rain."
A tree is indicated by holding the
Jiand palm upward and the fingers
raised, theu moving at once upward.
Growing or to grow is raised several
times with a jerky motion. The same
sign is used to signify smoke, only the
hand is slow ly raised without the jerky
motion.
For nothing, none. I have none, etc,
the Sioux pass the palm of the right
hand over the palm of Ihe left from the
wrist to the tips of the lingers. Sileuce
is indicated by holding the finger upon
the lips. Hofdiug a blanket out with
the hands far apart means. "We have
discovered buffalo," or tised to when
there were any. U-iisitig a blanket on
a pole means, "We are goiug into
catnp." Waving :t blanket toward the
legs means "You may approach."
Riding around in a circle means
"There is game." If several Indians
do this in opposite directions, passing
and repassing one another, they mean
"There are enemies."
Signalling at a distance with pillars
of smoke or dust aud shooting a bias
ing arrow far itito the sky at night, are
other methods of conversing with, or
giviug warning to friends at a dis
tance. How Mall Cars are Manned.
Nearly every railroad in the Uuited
States carries, at least once a day. one
or more men whose business it is to
receive, sort, and deliver the mail
gathered at the towns along or near
that road.
If there is little work to be done, one
mau does it alone, in a small room
built in a part of the. baggage-car
or smoking-car. As the business in
creases, two or more men work to
gether, having a whole car for their
accommodation. This car is drawn
directly behind the engine, so that
there shall be no occasiou for any pass
ing through it. With still more busi
ness, between the large cities, two or
more cars are run; until between New
York and Chicago we have a whole
train run exclusively for mail service,
made up of five cars and worked by
twenty men. A line of railroad be
tween two cities, used in this way. for
sorting the mail, is called "R. P. O.."
.". e., "Railway Post-Office," and there
is au immense number of such in the
country, taking their names from the
chief offices on the line.
Such are the "Bostou and Albany,"
"Bostou. Springfield, nnd New York."
"Portlnud nnd Island Pond." "Chicago
and Cedar Rapids." and many hundred
others. The runs vary greatly in
length, ranging from twenty miles to
as high ns a thousaud miles. The ex
tremely long runs, with the exception
of tho "New York and Chicago," are
found ouly in the West, where there
are great distances between the cities.
On such a run there will be two or
more men, one crew sleeping while
the other works. The "New York
and Chicago" is divided into three sec
tions. On this run, the twenty men
who start out from New York are re
lieved by as many more at Syracuse,
and these in turn are relieved at Cleve
land by another company who take
the train into Chicago. As a general
thing, however, a run is planned to be
about the distance which can be cov
ered in a day.
On all the more important lines there
are two sets of men, one for day, one
for night service. If the run is a short
one w ith but little mail, one man does
tho work alone, runuing every dav,
and usually having several hours to
rest at one end of the road or the
other. Where the run is loug enough,
so that the trip takes all day, there
will be four sets of men. One man,
or set of men. starts at one end of the
run, und covers the entire line, meet
ing tho other somewhere on the route,
and returning the next day. When
these men have worked a week, they
go home to rest a week, and others
take their place. Such is the arduous
nature of the work, the strain to mind
and body, aud particularly to eyesight,
from working all day long iu the con
stant jar aud rattle, that few men
would be able to retain a place were it
not for these periods of rest. Max
Bennett, St. Nicholas.
Gulls ou a Garbage Scow.
The garbage scow iu the Seattle har
bor attracts vast multitudes of sea
gulls. Whenever the boat' is towed
out from 1,500 to 2,000 follow it to its
destination, aud the meu employed on
it claim that they scarcely have room
to work, ns the gulls cluster around
them in swarms, all fighting one an
other to get on the scow and select
their food.

BELL'S TELEPHONE.
Tba ratent Kxpires In Two Tears, When
There'll It Creat Improvement.
In about two years the original
patents of ihe Bell Telephone com
pany on the art of transmitting the
human voice over wires by electricity
will expire, says the St. Louis lb-public
Then anybody who chooses can make
and use a telephone without let or
hindrance.
Desiring to learn what would proba
bly be the result of the extinction of
the Bell Telephone company's mon
opoly a Ilrpublic reporter sought oat
Leo Ehrlich, a noted iuveutor of St.
Louis. Mr. Ehrlich was one of the
first inventors of Ihe telephone in this
country, aud with others contested in
the Supreme court of the Uuited States
the Bell Telephone company's right to
exclusive right of the invention, but
the Supreme court decided against
them and they were forced to abandon
tho use of their inventions. On learn
ing the mission of the reporter Mr.
Ehrlich said:
"Yes, the Bell Telephone company's
patent on the art of transmitting the
human voice over wires by electricity
expires in March, 93. aud then every
body cau make and use a telephone.
As to what the result will be I would
say that us matters now stand it will
nllect the price of ihe telephone ser
vice but little. I am satisfied, how
ever, that at the expiration of their
patent the Bell Telephone company
will give ns a much superior telephone
system to tho present, and one where
the slightest whisper, live or ten feet
away from the phone, will bo distinct
ly transmitted for miles. They have
been preparing against the competition
that will spring up at the expiration of
their patent by purchasing at nominal
figures from needy inventors all valua
ble improvements' that have been made
to the telephone, and they are now the
owners of patents as superior to the
present telephone as it is to the toy
phone.
from personal tests in Boston I
know they have practical instruments
that are 100 per cent better than those
in use now iu transmitting the human
voice distinctly. They are keep
ing these inventions, on which the
patents will yet ran for years, in re
serve aud will bring them out if any
attempt is made in competition. So
the net result, jou may sar, will be
better service at a slightly reduced
rate. The Western Union similarly
has a vast number of telegraph patents
stored away for future use, should
competition become more active.
There will be also another result on
the expiration of the patent. aid that
is that telephones will ' become very
cliemi, and for $2 or f 2.SO any one can
purchase an efficient telephone. This
will have the effect to create an exten
sive use of them,' and private telephone
lines and small exchanges will become
numerous. They will also generally
displace speaking-tubes and pu-h-but-tous
in buildings, and hotels wilt sub
stitute them fur annunciators, so that
guests ean communicate their wishes
to the office without the intervention
of a bell-boy."
"As a rule, are the inventors fairly
treated and protected iu the United
States?" asked the reiwjrter.
"The inventor, as a rnle. I thick
gets all he is entitled to. but not so
much as he would like, for the simple
reason that 999 out of 1.000 inventions
are worthless. We hear a good deal
about the impecunious inventor and
his many hardships, but neither the
laws nor the public, but the poor iu
veutious, are to blame. Take up the
official gazette of the patent office and
I will guara- lee that not twenty-live
iu 1(H) of the patents are worth the
paper they are written on. To suc
ceed as an inventor, as in any other
calling, a person must be content to
patiently struggle along for years with
out success, and never grow weary or
lose courage at reverses. A fortune is
uow and then niadeby a happy hit of
some genius, but it is very rare and
should not eucourage any one to enter
the field unless he has staying qualities
and great industry.
"I will tell you what makes the
money in this business. It is the
patent-solicitor and the government.
When a man gets an idea that he
thinks valuable he immediately rushes
off and pays some solicitor a $25 fee
and the government $40 for a patent,
and from the hundreds of thousands of
patents annually issued you can see
what an enormous sum is paid solicit
ors and the government. I really
doubt if all that has been made off
patents in the United States since the
passage of the patent law would equal
what has been paid by inventors in ob
taining their patents.
"Up to date the inventors have paid
the government $3,000,000 more than
has been required to pay all the ex
penses of the patent-office department.
This, I think, is wrong and should be
changed by a reduction of fees to
merely cover the expenses of the ,de
partment. The Winter of '47 In Ireland.
As winter advanced the distress
grew deeper and fiercer. It was a
hard winter, cold rains and snows
alternating. To famine and fever was
added cold. Hundreds of -cabins in
County Cork had nothing on their
earth floors save a few rotten bundles
of straw not a blanket, "not a stick
of furniture." Neither could the peo
ple afford in many cases even the
cheap peat fires. The men tramped
barefoot through the snow to the re
lief works. Their rags hardly covered
their bones. It was the commonest
thing in the world for men to be
"struck with the cold" and die in a
day or two.
All over the country men and women
could be seen "redigging the potato
grounds, in hopes of finding some few
remaining." They were bending over
the fields which the sheep had desert
ed, trying to find turnip roots. Fami
lies were known to have lived for
weeks "on the flesh of horses that bad
died."
A Skibbereeu man with a family of
live had nothing for them all to eat
from Saturday to Thursday except
eleven and one-half pouuds of potatoes
and a head of cabbage. He walked
several miles to the works, and the
superintendent gave him a piece of
bread: he tried to swallow it and
dropped dead. Octave Thanet, in Cen
tury. slur man and liner.
A Maudalay paper tells how a Bur
mese laborer defended himself from a
tiger: "He was cutting grass in the
jungle with the usual agricultural dah,
a short, heavy weapou. While stop
ping to rest himself for a moment he
discovered that a tiger had stalked
him. He immediately gave a back
hand stroke with all" his force and
caught the tiger right across the eyes.
The tiger sprang on him and seized
him by the back of the head and fleck,
when the plucky Burmau planted his
dah twice in the brute's belly. Mr.
Stripes let go, and the Burmau hit him
over the head again and then fainted.
On recovering consciousness heound
the tiger had gone, and he managed to
crawl toward his village, till some peo
ple met him and carried him home.
Although he has some ghastly wounds,
the doctor hopes to pull him through.
The tiger, a full-grown one. was found
dead two days after by the villagers."
