lavm Botrs. The Old Bone Mao. A curious character resided near nu Inland city of New York state. He was known by everybody as " the old" bone man, " but I never heard his real name. He wag a German, and employed aevural men and teams In the pursuit of hl business, which was to gather up the carcasnes of dead animals In a circuit of ten miles or more. These he took to his establishment, which was located in a lonely swamp a few miles out of town. Here ho prepared the different portions of the carcasses for market. The hi h;s went to the tanners, the short hair to the plasterers, the long hair to furniture makers, the fat to soap factories, the bones to fertilizer manufacturers, the hoofs to glue makers, the lean flesh was cooked and fed to his fowls and the refuse was used to enrich his own land and he became famous for growing ex cellent cabbages and making fine saner kraut. He cleared that swamp and made it blossom like a rose by cheap German labor which he Imported on contract, paid their passage and kept them until they learned the Kngllsh language and Vank.ee ways sufficiently to command better wages elsewhere. His fowls were fat and plump and his eggs numerous, and they found ready market in the adjacent city. After a while it was noised about that tils poultry and eggs smeiled like carrion. An investigation was made, the fuot proven and the city authorities prohibited him from selling any more of ills eggs and dressed poultry within the city limits. When the facts were made public dressed poultry, eggs and sauerkraut generally " took a tumble," people fearing that Homo of the " bone man's " products might be smuggled Into tiie general lot. Home people with delicate stomachs could not, thenceforth, relish any of these products, no matter where grown. Thin article is a roundabout way to prove tiiat feed flavors both eggs and flesh. What, then, shall be said of farmers' eggs and poultry whose fowls pa their time on dung hills? National Stockman. Sulphuring Fruit. -When freshly sliced fruit is sulphured tot 4 "short time, gas penetrates only " skin deep;" and when the fruit Is uf tor ward dried, whether In the sun or drier, most of the gus escape and few persons would note the difference in taste pro duced thereby. Insects, iioverlliuliMS, are to a very material extent deterred from touching such fruit. Hut when the latter Is dried and thou thoroughly sulphured, as is too commonly done, the effect Is much more serious. The gas then peuotrutes the entire spongy muss, bleuching It, so that careleSKly dried fruit, too dark to be marketable, can thus be made to appear more or less inviting to the eyt. Not, however, to the nostrils or to the taste, for with the color, the llavor lius also sulTcrud corre spondingly ; and upon opening a package of such fruit, instead of the nuturu aroma, there appears the llavor familiar to those wlio visit a chemical laboratory or acid manufactory. The consumer then has reason to ob ject to dry-sulphured fruit on two counts, either of which is sufficient to condemn the practice. One is that dirty, lll-proparcd or damaged fruit may thus be Imposed upon him for good quality; the oilier-, that the na ural lluvor of the fruit is either seriously Impaired or sometimes almost completely destroyed, ami its uuldity greatly iucreas"d. There is another and very serious count In the Indictment, namely, that such fruit is unhealthy because containing an anti septic that impedes digestion, and while the fruit is relatively fresh, causes hed uches Just as will sulphured wine.

The Forum for April says: "There is nothing i.. the declaration or In the con stitution of the United States to indicate that women were to be excluded from participating in the affairs of government. When the Constitution was formed, suf frage was limited to males in the constitu tions of all the states but one ; yet, with these examploe before them, the framers of the federal constitution omit all refer ence to the sex of the federal electors, and vest the right on 'the people of the several states,' neither men nor women, us such, being alluded to. This omission could not have been accidental. Mani festly, if It had been tho intention to limit federal suffrage to males that Inten tion would have been expressed. As women constitute one-hnif the 'peoplo' will it be pretended they have no In terest In a government of the people? The ballot alone gives expression to that In tent. Every man who casts a vote for a member of congress, derives ids right to do so from this clause of the (onstitu tion, and yet the cl use has no reference to the sex of the voter. His right is based on the fact that he Is one ot the peoplo. He can Bhow no othor title to his franchise, and woman occupies ex actly tho same position. Beyond all con troversy, it is now fettled that women are citizens. The 'ourtocnth amendment declares that 'all persons born or naturalized in tho Unl ed States and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States, and of the state wherein they reside,' wlillo the supreme court in the minor case ex pressly affirms that women are citizens. It would be oas- to multiply citations to this effect, but it Is not necessary lo do bo. I hut tills citizoimhi') curries with it the ballot' Is equally clear. The supreme court derides that the right to vote for nioinlxus of congress is based upon the coiistltutio'i of the United States.' Men unci women constitute the people. Men and women, therefore, are federal electors. The right Hint exists fin one citizen, ex ists fur till. To deny women, therefore, the right to Vote for members of congress, Is to deny to citizens of the United States a constitutional right. - UrailuiHlug Clowns.

"No, we talked Itallovei and concluded that the lost year didn't count for much but dies uud expense and so ttlio left this year." This was overheard tho other day Just after 1 hart witnessed a poorly dressed woman buying an ex tensive white satin necktie for her boy "to wear graduating day" she explained In her npiwal to the sulosmiiu for advice. JTils renewed the subject which conies up so often, but more forcibly at the closing of the school year, concerning the folly of so iniii'h display on graduating or commencement day. In a certain town successive high school clauses tiled to outdo each other in tiie glory and extravagance attendant, upon their graduation, and for weeks the preparations were the topic and sensation of tho place. The dresses, music and flower were costly, and to these were added the expense of a reception. Finally one courageous class announced that they would neither have new dresses nor a reception. They were greatly criticised, but they fought a battle with solves and public opinion that was worth more to them than iloridly written essays or blue ribboned diplomas.

A I.lltle Girl ArM"ili T!-l ilci Tfor Eip- rieure ii ii a lleHtlien. "Oh. say." she exclaimed to a Was'i inton Star reporter, throwiiiji a trreat emphasis on the "sav," and her lace beaming with a sudden recollection "have I told you about my I'liinuman?" She was a modest little sehool-yirl, and her question seemed a ti ille odd, and so the Star man expressed an appropri ate amount of genuine surprise, aud told her that he li.-ul never heard of "her Chinaman." "Well, let me tell vou," she C"U timieil, anil ;is tier auditor did not. pro test she proceeded: "Ho is just luo cute for iin tiling, ami he is so bright that 1 am sure he will learn to speak real good English very soon, aud then I am roinf to lmve him teach me Chinese. Won't that be nice?" "Hut you have not told me who and what he is," sui.'ested the reporter. "Haven't I? Well, he is my pupil at the Chinese Sunday-school ' at the Ascension Chinch all my own aud I am teaching him. You see, we have got to teaeli them to speak English, before wo try to teach them any re ligion, aud so 1 am now trying to tnake him understand me. It is' pretty hard sometimes, but I am sure that ha is going to learn.'' "How many lessons have you given him," asked the reporter. "Only one. but he can say several things already and lie is real bright. You see there is a little primer book that we use that is written partly iu Knglish and partly iu Chinese just like one of those horrid Latin books, you know. First there is a line at the top, where there are given some Kn glish words, you know, and opposite these are the same words in Chinese. Down below, at the bottom of the page, there is a little story that brings in these words and so he learns. He is very eager to iearn, but he can not pronounce some of the words, for he has trouble with his 'r,' which he will persist in calling an '1.' I can't break liini of the habit. I said lie was bright, didn't I? Well, lie is in some tliiujis, but he was so stupid lust Sunday. The word 'hand' was in the copy and I wanted to illustrate its use to him, and so 1 just stretched out my hand and said: 'My hand.' What does the stupid do but reach over and take my hand and say, '.My hand.' Of course, he did not mean to be rude, but it sounded so presumptuous that it made me mud for a minute. But the more I tried to show iiiiu his error the mure he persisted in saying that my hand was his. At last 1 took hold of his hand aud said. 'Your hand,' and then he did the same for me and said: 'Your hand.' It was a little provoking, but 1 am hoping lie will know better lieu Sunday. "1 suppose lie is a high-toned China man, from the legation, perhaps, with lots of silks and other nice clothes?" suggested the reporter. '-.n, indeed, he is not, Was the soinouhat indignant reply. "He is not one or those Chinamen, but a real nice, hard-working, poor Chinaman, who washes clothes lor a living, and I do not think any the less of him tor it. I wouldn't have" one of those legation Chinamen; they are so proud andstuck up they think that there is nothing like them. Thov don't come to Suu- dav-school; t he v know enough al- reudv. ' "Well, do vou like to teach China- men?" queried lie reporter to round oil the conversation. "I should suv 1 did. 1 think it is just too lovel for anything; bntldon't want to have linn tlnnk that my hand is his, for it mi l au.

Babcock U a very honest-looking young gentleman, and yet this morning he was twice taken for a thief and once for a dead-bott. Mr Ualicock went into a restaurant on Third street and deposited his um brella tn the rack and hung his hand some black Derby hat on a nickel-plated hat hook. When the disciple of lllack- stonu had finished his repast he walked over lo the wall and took, what lie sup posed was his hat, put it on aud started toward the counter to pay for his breakfast. An athletic "entleman, who was eat ing' his morning repast and watching his portable property, roared out: "Come back here, sir, and leave mv hat." , , All the ladies and irentleman in the restaurant watched Mr. Habcock as he replaced the hat and took his own. 1 he young lawyer was as mad as t hornet and somewhat confused at the contretonis. Then he walked o-er to tho umbrella rack and picked ii) an umbrella. The observant gentleman whose hat Mr. Habcock had t i!;en notice that it was his umbrella thai was being carried off, and he shout.

Houston was beaten for the Senate by Louis Wigfall, who cut such a brilliant and yet Inefficient figure at the outbreak of the war. Old Sam Houston wa9 asked what kiud of a person this Mr. Wigfall was who had succeeded to his place. Houston said: "Gentlemen, 1 know him well; he is the most eloquent, brilliant d fool in all Texas." When Houston had beeu beateu by Wigfall it occurred to Ivorsou, of Georgia, who was not much of a mau.to get up in the Senate and lacerate the old hero. He called attention to tho fact that Houston had been repudiated by the people of his State, aud said he doped tdat would be the fate of all meu who were traitors to the South. . The Senate thought nothing of Iver son, and everybody was curious to know what Houston would say. The old man sat there whittling a piece of wood with a knife. He was six feet live inches high, held himself very erect, was a remarkable actor; and al ways impressive wl,en he desired to be. Hardly anybody looked at Iver son, for his' speech was felt to be in the light of an attack upon human nature. Sam Houston, the hero of Texas, the former Governor of Tennessee, was down, and this little fellow misappre hended he had a chance to injure dim, After Iverson concluded, Houston sat still a while till he concentrated upon himself the attention of the Sen ate. He then rose, and, in a common place way, referred to his defeat. "It is true, gentlemen, that I am politically dead. There appears to be no breath in my life, as far as the public service is coucerned, hereafter. The condem nation of me at the polls has been condign. I did not think, however, that after my defeat the State of Geor gia would be the one to come aud taunt me with my disaster." He.e he changed his manner from the simple to the impressive, and there began to be sensibilities stirred up in every one around the Senate as he continued: "Not the State of Georgia should have thought it necessary to at tack me upon this floor," said Hous ton, "for when I was a boy I shed my blood in Georgia for the people of that State when the tomahawk and the scalpiug-knife were raised agaiust them. At such a battle whicli he named 1 was left among the slain, as it was supp ised, and I always thought that Georgia at least would have some respect for my memory. But, gentle men, this is not the first time that a de id linn has been kicked iu the face by the heels of a cowardly ass." Cin cinnati Enqinrr.r. The Age of Tree. From an article bv Professor F. W. Putnam, on "Prehistoric Remains in the Ohio Valley," in the Century, we quote the following: "Of late years several writers have brought forward many arguments showing anew, what every archaeologist of experience knows, that many of the mounds in the country were made by the historio tribes. This has been dwelt upon to such an extent as to make common the belief that all the mounds and earth works are of recent origin. Some writers even go so far as to imnly that tree growth cannot be relied upon, and state that the rings of growth do not represent annual rings. As I am firmly couviuced that many of the mounds and earthworks ia the Ohio Valley examined by Dr. Metz and my self are far older than the forest grow th in Ohio can possibly indicate, it mat ters little about the age of trees grow ing over such mouuds. However, as such a forest growth gives us the mini mum age of these ancient works, it is important to know what reliance can be placed on the rings. In his report for 1887, Prof. B. E. Fernow, Chief of the Division of Forestry in the United States Department of Agriculture, dis cusses the formation of the annual ring, when speaking of tree growth. In a letter recently received from him, in which he points out the probable cati9e of error in counting the rings of prairie-grown trees, he stall's that he considers 'anybody and everybody an incompetent observer of tree growth who would declare that, in the tem perate zones, the annual ring is not the rule, its omission or duplication the ex ception.1 "Having received repeated assur ances to this effect from other botan ists, I recently again asked the ques tion of Prof. C. S. Sargent, Director of the Arnold Arboretum, from whom I received the following reply: 'I have never seen anything to chango my be lief that In trees growing outside of the topics each layer of growth represents the growth of one year; aud as far as 1 have been able to verify statements tn the contrary, which have appeared of late years, I am unable to place any credence in any of them. The follow ing sentence, quoted from the last edi tion of Professor Gray's "Strnotui-.il Botany." covers the case: 'Each later being the product of only a year's growth, the age of an exogenous t re may in general be correctly estimate I bv "counting the rings of a cross section oi the truuk." I believe, therefore, t utt vou are perfectly safe in tbiuking that Dr. Cutler's tree is something over four hundred aud fifty years old.'" The Literary Boom In Omaha. It was during the period of the cata loguing that a well-known lady of this city came to the little winduw uud asked for a novel. The librarain took one from the shelves that she thought would please the upplicant, when the lady stopped her by saying: "The next one, please the nevi volume." T'he librarian gave her the desired book.

Ills Life-Long Ilule. A good thing cau b carried too far.

A Cannibal Bishop. Every one knows the story of the Frenchman who. while sitting'with his face close to the open window of an English railway cur, heard a sudden shout of. "look out!" aud popping out his head accordingly, received a tre meudous bump ou the forehead from the projecting pole of a scaffolding which the train was just passing; whereiipou monsieur exclaimed, indig nantly; "Inglisman big fool! He say 'look out!' when he menu 'iook iu!'" A similar misconception occurred during the siege of Seiiaslopol. w hen au English Guardsman was -brought up" for having given a severe thrash ing to a French grenadier, the English man's only explanation being that "he would 'ate it, and so 1 just 'nd to give it hi m." It appeared on inquiry that the Guardsman had uccoited the other in what he supposed to be French, and that the puzzled Frenchman had ex claimed in bewilderment. 'oiiiment?" (How?) whicli ,loliu Bull mistook for "Come on.'' "Come on yourself, then, '' he roared, "if you will 'ave it!" and forthwith the fisticuffs began in earnest. But more staruiug than all was the mistake made by a (jueen of Denmark during her visit to the Danish colony Iceland, w here the good old bishop ex erted himself to I Ini ul most to show her everything that was worth seeing. Tlic Queen paid many compliments to her host, and having learned that ho was a family man, graciously inquired how many children he had. .Now, it happened that the Danish word for "children'' was almost iden tical in sound with the Icelandic word for "sheep"; so the worthy bishop whose knowledge of Danish was not so complete us it might have been under stood her Majesty to ask how muuv sheep he ow ued, aud promptly answ ered, "Two hundred." "Two hundred children!" cried the Queen, astounded. "How can you pos sibly maintain such a number?" "Easily enough, please your Majesty,'' replied the hyperborean prelate, with a cheerful smile.

A charming pen-picture of Nikita, "the miniature l'alti." comes to us from Glasgow, Scotland, says Jivinormfi Magazine, where this wonderfully gifted young songstress appeared recently: "All eyes arc expectantly tixed on the platform, and there she comes.a j oyng, slender girl, bow ing to the audience iu a most bewitching way. She is simply dressed iu white, her long, wavy hair tied back with a white ribbon, and, as she opens her lips, w e hear a sweet, rippling stream of purest melody, gath ering strength and depth as it llows, till it carries us away in a torrent oi wild enthusiasm. It is a German song with a wonderful echo in it, and we seem to be among the mountains, hear ing the birds sing.aiid the Alpine horns answering to each other from the heights. 'It is simply marvelous, aud marvelously beautiful. There seems no cffort.and there is no Haw or failure in the echo. It sounds far, far away, and yet there is the fair girl singing before us. For a farewell she gives us a birdsoug. The voice is like a lark and a lintie, a mavis and a blackbird, and now again like a nightingale. In deed, it is like a grove full of birds on a spring morning; but the woods are soon silent, and it is autumn, and the birds are away. Nikita has gone." And the possessor of this marvelous voice is only in her 17th year, and is I stanch little American, whom we may bope soon to hear in her native land. Coming Over the Mountain!. "For the life of me," said a ricr man in the West to bis spendthrift son, "for the life of me I can't see what it the matter with the boys of to-day. All they are good lor is to spend money, money, money, and they seem utterly ignorant as to its value. They have do ideas of business or economy, and il anything at all they want to begin where their fathers left off. The; ignore the rounds of the ladder, and expect to enter business as wholesale merchants or bank presidents. It war not so when I was a boy. I grew up t poor boy among the sand barrens and rocks of Maine. When I was 18 1 slung a slender budget over my shoulder, took a stout stick in my hand and traveled over the Allegheny Mountains to the West in search ol employment On foot, my bov, on foot." "Well, father," said the son, "thafi what's the matter with me. I didn't have to come over the mountains as you did.
