GIVING COURAGE TO INVALIDS.
Scales at a Virginia Resort So Fixed as to
Add Twenty or Thirty Pounds.
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.

A Shotgun's Work.
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

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

patient was resting easy and hU recov
ery seemed probable. Mr. Hanulbil

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. Blackwood's Maga

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

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

sential dogma of their religion. A.
