THE TWO WOODCUTTERS. A Fair? Tale From the Japanese With an Aniuaing Moral. A Japanese woodcutter, who had a disfiguring wen on bis right cheek, was < aught one day in a violent storm of rain. Having sought shelter in a hollow tree, be fell fast asleep. When he awoke he found it was night, but the darkness was illuminated by a thousand tiny lamps. By this light the woodcutter saw, in an open space just by bis tree, a number of tengu, or fairies, who had been indulging In sake, the national d ink of Japan, and who were now in a very merry mood. Presently music struck up and a dance began, whereupon the woodcutter rushed from his place of concealment and fell to dancing like mad. The fairies laughed and cheered till the woods reechoed, and when morning dawned they declared that he had diverted them exceedingly and must come again. "And.” said their leader, an important little tengu. “as a pledge that you will pay us another visit we take this wen.” The words had scarcely been spoken by the fairy chief when the wen fell from the woodcutter’s cheek, and it became as smooth as a little child’s. Now, it so happened that a neighboring woodcutter, who had a huge wen on his left cheek, was devoured by envy when he heard how his fellow laborer had been cured. Having learned the secret, be set out for the spot where the fairies met, with a new pair of straw sandals on his feet, fully determined to show the tiny people what dancing really meant. On reaching the hollow tree he carefully concealed himself and breathlessly awaited the course of events. In due time the tengu assembled and at once began drinking sake and dancing. Then woodcutter No. 2, thinking the right time hud come, dashed from his place of hiding and essayed to fling a leg in tune to the music. But, alas! the cheering -which greeted his first appearance soon died away, for he could not dance with the agility of the friend whom be envied, and he ended his efforts amid chilling silence. The chief tengu stepped up to the crestfallen woodcutter and made a satirical bow. "Thank you,” he said, “and as you have tried to amuse us we will pay you with this!” And so speaking he clapped upon the envious woodcutter’s right cheek the wen he had taken from his fellow sufferer, and the wretched man returned to his home carrying two gigantic wens instead of the one with which he had left his hut. Spur Money. In the churches of England formerly the levying of spur money by the choir boys was an established custom. Dekker tells the gallant of the seventeenth century that when he goes to St. Paul’s cathedral he is to “be sure your silver spurs clog your heels, and then the boys will swarm about you like so many white butterflies. When you are in open quire you shall draw forth a perfumed embroidered purse—the glorious sight of which will entice many countrymen from their devotion to wondering—and quoit silver into the boy’s hands that it may be heard above the first lesson, although it be read in a voice as big as one of the great organs.” The custom would appear to have originated from the disturbance of divine service in the cathedrals by the jingling of the spurs of persons walking within their precincts, a trifling fine being imposed upon offenders, called “spur money,” the collection of which was left to the beadles and singing boys. If, however, the youngest chorister present failed to render his gamut correctly upon being challenged, the tax could not be levied.

Lool lna After the Sailors. Sailors are never more than children In many respects. Os all lives theirs is In most Instances the narrowest. The poor tars have more horizon than people on land, but their footstool is a mere matter of a few feet beam and a few hundred over all. When they arrive in New York harbor, after many weeks or months at sea, and start out for a good time, this sort of notice, inserted in marine journals and bulletins- of commerce by agents, stares them in the face wherever they go: "British steamer Monkwestern, Sallies master, from West Africa ports, is discharging at pier 700,000. All persons are hereby cautioned against harboring or trusting any of the crew, as no debts of their contracting will be paid by the captain, owners or Quittai, Herby & Co., agents.” How would you like to have that tagged on to you in every port? Those poor infants of the ocean’-New York Press. Conversation. There is nothing more disagreeable than the introduction of stories into conversation, unless short, pointed and quite apropos. “He who deals in them, says Swift, “must either have a very large stock or a good memory or must often change his company.” Some have a set of them strung together like onions They take possession of the conversation by an early introduction of one, and then you must have the whole rope and there’s an end of everything else perhaps for that meeting, though you may have beard all of them twenty times. Don? In Mnnchnria. In Manchuria dog raising is practiced upon pretty much the same scale as sheep farming in Australia-pro-portionate to population, of course. A bride does not take her dowry m specie or in land. Dogs are the dowry-six If she be the daughter of poor parents more if they Ke wealthy. The animals serve as meat for human consumption. Their magnificent coats are into rugs and what not. Forty to fifty thousand are so treated every year.London Impress.

THE BODY OF THE SUN. In Its Density It Resembles Somewhat a Globe of Tar. It is generally agreed that the main body of the sun—the nucleus within the photosphere—must be purely gaseous. This seems to be an unavoidable conclusion from the sun’s iow mean density and its tremendous internal temperature, which must almost certainly be far higher than that of its outer surface, so high that even the enormous force of solar gravity is able to compress the vapors to a density only one and four-tenths that of water, although among the constituent elements are many of the metals (iron being the most conspicuous) which in the solid or liquid state are from three to eight times as dense The reader must not imagine, however, that this gaseous nucleus «is like air or other gases as we encountei them upon the earth Denser than water and strongly viscous from the heat, it more resembles a globe of tar except near the outside. There the vapors relieved from pressure are free to expand and to cool both by the expansion and by radiating heat to outer space in a region of powerful currents, ascending, descending and cyclonic, The photosphere or luminous surface is generally believed to be what it looks like—a sheet of clouds enveloping the nucleus and consisting of minute drops and crystals formed from those vapors which condense at the highest temperatures. These clouds float in an atmosphere composed of the permanent gases like hydrogen and helium mixed with the more numerous vapors which condense only at far lower temperatures than those that* form the clouds. As to the substances which compose the cloud particles, opinions are unsettled.—Professor C. A. Young in Harper’s Weekly. wnere He Made Ills Start. A squire in a certain town had just finished marrying a young couple and proceeded in a paternal way to give them good, solid advice. Turning to the bridegroom, he said: “Never spend your money extravagantly and be saving in every way possible.” The bridegroom listened respectfully and then remarked: “Well, judge, we might as well begin on you.” And he proceeded to give the squire 50 cents for tying the knot.— Philadelphia Ledger. “Stonewall’*” Comment. At a council of generals early in the civil war one of them remarked that Major was wounded and would be unable to perform a certain duty tor which he had been suggested "Wound ed!” said old Stonewall Jackson "If that is really so I think ’t must have been by an accidental discharge of his duty "

A Game of Catch Somebody oik* twitb-d John Graham on the way David Dudley Field and be were drifting apart—be remaining in the harness as a criminal lawyer. while Field was selected by his state for the exalted duty of codifying her laws. “It is simply a game of catch between Field and myself.” he answered. "He tries to put up as many bars as possible, all uniformly strong Then I go around and try them and see how many weak places I can find.” “Which beats. Mr. Graham?” he was asked. “Oh, 1 think I do in the long run.” he responded. “Field never succeeded in keeping me out as many times as I have succeeded In breaking in.” East Indian IVames.

A Cane of Necessity. “My son.” said the parson to a small boy who was digging, “don’t you know that it is a sin to dig on Sunday except in case of necessity?” “Yes. sir,” replied the youngster. “Then why don’t you stop it?” asked the good man. “ ’Cause this is a case of necessity,” replied the young philosopher. “A feller can’t fish without bait.”—Pearson's Weekly.

CAUSTIC CARLYLE. His Contempt For Great Men Was Subject to Modification. Carlyle's opinion of Herbert Spencer os "the most unending ass in Christendom” must, of course, be read in conjunction with Carlyle’s derision for mankind in general. "Mostly fools,” he cheerfully thought of us all. Darwin, we know, he would not have at any price—not a word of him. Cardinal Newman, lie estimated, had “the brain of a medium sized rabbit.” Ruskin was a bottle of soda water. “A bad young man” was his sum up of another eminent writer. But these hostile phrases were subject to considerable modification if the man against whom they were aimed came near enough to Carlyle to do him a personal favor, even to pay him a personal compliment. Disraeli, whom he had described as a mountebank dancing upon John Bull’s stomach, offered Carlyle a baronetcy and elicited from him. together with a refusal of the title, many tributes to his magnanimity. He said very little about Disraeli henceforth in print, and in private he spoke of him only, as “a very tragical comical fellow.” — London Chronicle. THE ONION CURE. A Remedy Wbieli Is Claimed to Be Infallible In Pneumonia. This remedy, which is claimed to be infallible, wfls formulated many years ago by a well known physician in New England, who never lost a patient by this scourge: Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine. Tut in a large spider over a hot fire, adding about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar to form a stiff paste. Stir thoroughly and simmer five or ten minutes. Put into a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to the chest just as hot as the patient can bear it. In about ten minutes change the poultice, and thus continue reheating and applying, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. And just here a word of caution. In applying this or any other hot poultice care must be exercised not to let the patient get chilled during the changing process. Have the hot one all ready to go on before the cooling one is removed, and make the exchanges so swiftly and deftly that there is not a moment's exposure of the body surface, which becomes exceedingly sensitive to a chill.
