When tho fattest young lady at Fort Monroe got upon tho scales there was a. hush of expectancy. Up to that time everybody was pleased, be cause every one seemed to havo gained in weight Tho little girl with tho auburn ringlets had uttered a lit tle shriek of delight when sho found for the first time in her life Bho tipped tho Bcales at over 100 pounds. Tho youthful matron in black, who had Baid all along that it was only her mourning that mado her look thin ner, was triumphant when her avoir dupois was registered at 111. As for the fair creature with tho balloon sleeves and incipient crino line, sho declared that she had never before weighed within eight pounds as much. When tho fattest young lady got aboard, sho said with amia ble resignations "Put on that 50-pound weight Til need it" So the iron disk representing BO pounds was put on, and the register was slid along by the girl with the auburn ringlets. Strange to say, it passod up to the very end of tho bar without making tho scale drop. "Guess you'll have to put on an other CO," giggled tho unfeeling crea turo in the balloon sleeves. The fattest young lady began to look alarmed. "It isn't so," she exclaimed indig nantly. "1 don't weigh an ounce ovor 179 pounds." But tho girl with auburn ringlets had already added tho extra 50-pound weight, which caused tho scale to re spond at once. It promptly regis tered 202 pounds. Tho fattest young lady looked as though sho did not know whether to buret into tears or to slap off tho bonnet of the girl with the auburn ringlets and stamp on it "It is a cheat and a horrid fraud L" sho declared. Then she raised her parasol with an emphasis that nearly broke one of tho ribs and marched away. Just at that moment a colored waiter passed by with a basketful oi napkins. Tho youthful matron in black stopped him. "Is this weighing scalo correct?" she said. ''Yaas'in,"horeplied;ihen, scratch ing his head, he added, "Dey is hob byweight 6cales. " "What do you mean?" she asked. "Dey is fer folks what comes here fer health," ho exclaimed. "Ebery one weighs a lot moro on 'em than city scales. Dey is a s'perior article ob weighin machine?" "Oh, I see," said tho young woman in black. "They are expressly in tended to afford encouragement to invalids staying at the hotel." "Yaas'm," responded the colored man. "Ten to thutty pounds' wuth of encouragement Youse got tho idea." -Washington Star. The nine Glass Fad.. Perhaps tho queerest fad of modern times was that which placed the elixir of life in blue glass. That the color of light has certain influences on life, especially life of the lower sort as in. plants, is a tact. Plant llfo ia un-1 doubtedly affected by tho color of light, and animal life needs light If ' an animal bo deprived of light, it will become what is called ancomio, but exactly why no ono knowB. Reason- j ing from the observed effects of blue light upon some plants, the inventor of tho fad prebcribed baths under blue glass for aU. You wero to strip yourself, I ro- momber, and lie down under tho blue gloss for many hours each day. And tho queerest thing about tho whole business was tho fact that somo of tho devotees not only declared them selves benefited by tho treatment so long fts thoy believed In it, but were unquestionably 60 benefited. I say -so long as thoy believed in it, for I do not think thoro aro many If in , fact there be one who batnes in blue light now. Cyrus Edson, M. D., in North American Review. .

Corvallls Times, Aug. 0. The treach erous shotgun has done its fatal work again, and this time tho loss of an arm pays the penalty of carelessness. Tho accident happened at 3 o'oclook Mon day afternoon, on tho Val Cusbman place three miles east of this city, and William Hannibal is tbe sufferer. With his wife and two children Mr Hannibal had Just returned from a camping expedition to tbe Alsea coun try, and was engaged in unloading the wagon. Ills left arm encircled a pack age and with bis right be was in the act of taking out together a rifle and shotgun. Ono barrel of the shotgun was discharged, aud after tearing away a portion of hU vest, shirt and a patch of skin from his abdomen, the entire charge passed through his left arm at the elbow. The bones were shattered into a dozen pieces, and the hole torn In tbe arm was so large that the surgeon passed three fingers through It Dra. Apple white and I'ernot were summoned and the arm was amputated six Inches above the elbow. At last accounts (he patient was resting easy and hU recov ery seemed probable.

He Is a robust you ug man of 32 years and Is a good citizen. Ills neighbors lament his HjLfortune, Dyspepsia and Its attendant- Ills are quickly cured by Blannon Liver Regulator. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report jmm? ABSOLUTELY PURE The Flnlna ofTlieunly. Contemplation of tho conditions of Thessalian agriculture wealth of sun, fertilizing rains and streams, on almost inexhaustiblo soil, steady markets and light taxation turns our envious, wistful thoughts back to tho hard wrung, often ungrateful Molds with which British fanners havo to deal. Thoro is plenty of English machin ery in Thessaly already; tho energy of tho Greek government in road making has opened access to traction enginos, reaping and thrashing ma chines. What forbids Bomo of our English formers from settling in this land of promise? Well, tho chief obstaclo seems to bo tho ineradicablo jealousy which tho Greoks boar toward foreign en terprise. It was this that pitt an end to the profitable business of n Fronch and Italian mining company at Lau rium. It is this which threatens to make abortive for tho timo M. Tri coupis' beneficent work in roopouing tho anciont canals and draining Lake Copals in Bcootia, where the riparian peasant proprietors resist an influx of strangers to till tho land which they themselves oro unablo to take in hand. Thero is plenty of land to lot . in Thessaly, yet at presont thero is no opening for now tenants. It is not clear what will bo tho outcome of future years of steady and fostering government.

TrulU of TurkUli Nouiuil. Tho Yuruks assort that human souls return into tho bodies of animals and that tho spirits of tho latter tako also a human form and appear at de termined opocliB. This in eortainly tho reason why thoy aro so kind to animals. M. Eliseo Reclus says that a Yuruk loves his horso as much as his family, Tho horses havo their place undor tho tent, and it is not uncommon to sco thom warmly wrapped in a magnificent robo when tho Yuruk and his children aro cov ered with rags. Bomo other customs attest also a pagan origin. In tho orient every body knows that tho Yuruks wor ship certain trees and rocks. These facta yield sufficient ovidenco that monotheism is by no moans tho es sential dogma of their religion. A. T. M. d'Andria in Popular Scionco Monthly. I'alcon a Meueug-ers. Tho experiments of Colonel Braoi Ion of tho Russian army with fal cons as carriers of dispatches havo proved successful, and the Russian army horeaf tor will employ thom in nroferonco to ordinory "homing" birds, Tho colonol bos found that tho falcon con carry 1,040 grams without diminishing its rato of epoed, which is considerably greater than that of tho pigeon.
