THE KING OF THE COWBOYS.

A Bad Man from the Far, Far Wert in the Bowery. “I’m a bad man,” he said, as he leaned up against the bar of the "Home for Tired Men” on the Bowery, and gave the thin barkeeper a look that made him quail. “Yes, I’m a bad man, ” he continued, as the boys came crowding up. “I’m from the West, the extreme West, where blood, hot blood, is spilled daily by men like me. Say, yon.” he said, catching the eye of a tall man with a large red pimple on his nose, “did you ever hear of Big-Headed Jack?” The tall man answered that he had heard of Red-Headed Mike, but the pimple on his nose turned a ghastly white, and he fell shaking into a chair as the Bad Man drew a revolver and remarked that this was no time for redheaded men. “Perhaps some gentleman here has heard of Big-Headed Jack,” he said, as he glanced around at the boys, but a dead silence prevailing, he continued, “Big-Headed Jack was a, tough man. He came to Rattlesnake Bead to take the town. He took the largest portion of it until he came across me. I shot thirteen holes in him. I’ve got a wagonload of Injun scalps I ‘raised’ myself. I’m bad, but I’m nothing unless excited. Here, boss, fill ’em up for the boys.” At this evidence of a link to a common humanity the boys rallied without losing a man. “Give me something powerful, boss, something that will make me feel as though the -wind was blowing right off the prairies on me once again. Ah, I’m a reckless dare-devil. Give me something powerful to soothe me.” “I suppose you have seen a good deal of blood shed in your time, sir,” said a pale man in the rear. “My life has been but turmoil and rapine. Devastation and horror have found me in their midst. Men in the West, the farthest West, call me the King of the Cowboys.” A shudder ran through the crowd, and the tall man with a red pimple on his nose disappeared through a side door. “And yet,” said the Bad Man, musingly, “I was once a quiet, unassuming boy, knowing nothing of crime.” “Say, dad,” said a large-headed boy shoving himself through the door far enough to reveal a mouth extended from ear to ear in a general smile, “Ma says you won’t know anything for a week if you don’t come and carry them ashes down right off. You’d better drop that pistol and come mighty quick. She’s waitin’.” The King of the Cowboys looked around with a sickly smile. A very cold light gleamed in the eyes of the thin barkeeper. The Bad Man got through the door first, and the thin barkeeper came back looking morose and unsocial, and, taking a piece of chalk, added to the sign over the bar of “No credit given here” the sad word “to-day,” after which a lack of interest was apparent in the prosperity of the place, and the thin b rkeeper was left with his elbows on the bar, lonesomely burying his hands in his hair. — New, York Journal.

Nutritiveness of Rice.

The increase in the consumption of rice has lately attracted the attention of several men of science in Germany, and among other investigations, according to the Lancet, an attempt has been made by Prof. Yoit to discover the relative capacity which various forms of nourishment possess of being incorporated into the system. He has drawn up the following table of the percentage which remains in the body, and of that which leaves it: Percentage Percentage which is Incorporated, not retained. Meat 96.7 3.3 Rice 96.1 3.9 Eggs 94.8 6.2 White bread 94.4 5.6 Maize 93.3 6.7 Potatoes.... ..90.7 9.3 Milk 88.9 11.1 Black bread 88.5 11.5 According to these results, the Bremer Handelsblatt remarks, meat and rice leave the smallest amount of residuum,, and occasion the smallest excessive exertion to the digestion, and, in fact, introduce the minimum quantity of ballast into the human frame. Dr. Konig, of Munster, considers that the fact of large masses of population living on rice is easily accounted for, and in summing up the information collected upon the subject, Prof. Yoit remarks that potatoes, when consumed in excessive quantity, fail to nourish the frame effectively, make the blood watery and render the muscles weak. Apart from the subject dealt with in the table drawn up by Prof. Yoit, the question of the relative nutritive value of rice and potatoes has been investigated by Dr. Konig, who is of the opinion that, if similar quantities of both articles are compared, the former possesses four times the value of the latter in really nutritive properties. It is also remarked that the introduction of rice as a substitute for potatoes is facilitated by the fact that no such variation takes place in its quality as is the case with the potato, which is liable to be materially influenced by the effects of unfavorable weather.

Father and Son.

Every boy and every young man in bis teens looks forward with great anticipation to the day he will become of age, his 21st birthday, which says, by law, henceforth you are your own lord and master, and are now eligible to take a hand in politics, and do what you see fit, and not be subjected to the patter of the shingle on the bosom of your pants. The law guarantees all this, and with great expectations the average male specimen of humanity looks forward to the day when he shail be 21. Sometimes the thought makes a young man’s head swell, and by the time the great day arrives his clothe? are usually too small for him. He has a terrible attack of the big head. A young man of Fond du Lac county recently reached that interesting age, and on the morning of the eventful day he politely informed his father that he had no further use for him. Now, inasmuch as the father had been working for the young man twenty-one years, and, having proved a faithful servant, he didn’t propose to be discharged without prop-

er notice, and so he hunted up the records. He found the young man was not 21 until 3 o’clock p. m. That settled it. Going out and getting a good lath and depositing it in the woodshed, as had been the custom in the years gone by, he sent for his son, showed him the documents, grasped him by the collar, and enjoyed one of childhood’s happy hours with him, wore out the lath, and compelled the fresh, newlyfledged young man to finish hauling manure on a ten-acre lot by 3 o’clock. The father said he proposed to be the head of that family, and the young man would have to swear allegiance to that banner as long as he boarded at home. Some day that young man will rise up and call his father blessed for taking some of the self-conceit out of him just as he reached his majority. A thorough application of lath or shingle, at the right time and on the right spot, has made many a man out of roguish material.— Peck's Sun. \

The Queen and the Quakers.

In the autumn of 1818, her late Majesty, Queen Charlotte, visited Bath, accompanied by the Princess Elizabeth. The waters soon effected such a respite from pain in the royal patient that she proposed an excursion to a park of some celebrity in the neighborhood, the estate of a rich widow belonging to the Society of Friends. Notice was given of the Queen’s intention, and a message returned that she would be welcome. Our illustrious traveler had perhaps never before held any personal intercourse with a member of the persuasion whose votaries never voluntarily paid taxes to “the man George, called King by the vain ones.” The lady and gentleman who were to attend the august visitants had but feeble ideas of the reception to be expected. It was supposed that the Quaker would at least say thy Majesty, or thy Highness, or Madam. The royal carriage arrived at the lodge of the park, punctual to the appointed hour. No preparations appeared to have been made, no hostess nor domestics stood ready to greet the guests. The porter’s bell was rung; he stepped forth deliberately with his broad-brimmed beaver on and unbendingly accosted the Lord in waiting with, “What’s thy will, friend?” This was almost unanswerable. “Surety,” said the nobleman, “your lady is aware that her Majesty Go to your mistress and say the Queen is here.” “No, truly,” answered the man, “it needeth not; I have no mistress nor lady, but friend Rachel Mills expecteth things walk in.” The Queen and Princess were handed out and walked up the avenue. At the door of the house stood the plainly-attired Rachel, who, without even a courtsey, but with a cheerful nod, said: “How’s thee do, friend ? lam glad to see thee and thy daughter; I wish thee well! Rest and refresh thee and thy people before I show thee my grounds. ” What could be said to such a person ? Some condescensions were attempted, implying that her Majesty came not only to view the park, but to testify her esteem for the society to which Mistress Mills belonged. Cool and unawed, she answered, “Yea, thou art right there; the Friends are well thought of by most folk, but they need not the .praise of the world; for the rest, many strangers gratify their curiosity by going over this place, and it is my custom to conduct them myself; therefore, I shall do the like to thee, friend Charlotte; moreover, I think well of thee as a dutiful wife and mother. Thou hast had thy trials, and so had thy good partner. I wish thy grandchild well through hers” —she alluded to the Princess Charlotte. It was so very evident that the Friend meant kindly, nay, respectfully, that offense could not be taken. She escorted her guest through her estate. The Princess Elizabeth noticed in her henhouse a breed of poultry hitherto unknown to her, and expressed a wish to possess some of those rare fowls, imagining that Mrs. Mills would regard her wish as a law; but the Quakeress merely remarked, with characteristic evasion, “They are rare, as thou sayest; but if any are to be purchased, in this land or in other countries, I know few women likelier than thyself to procure them with ease.” Her Royal Highness more plainly expressed her desire to purchase some of those she now beheld. “I do not buy and sell,” answered Rachel Mills. “Perhaps you will give me a pair ?” persevered the Princess, with a conciliating smile. “Nay, verily,” replied Rachel, “I have refused many friends; and that which I denied to mine own kinswoman, Martha Ash, it becometh me not to grant to any. We have long had it to say that these birds belonged only to our own house, and I can make no exception in thy favor.”— Home Journal.

Man Losing His Teeth.

The toothless biped of the future is no mere idle dream of the speculator. Mr. Spence Bates, F. R. S., has lately shown that the average tooth of the modern European shows under the microscope a distinct deterioration of structure and loss of substance as compared with the tooth of the Esquimau, the Red Indian, and the Ashantee, as well as with those found in the ancient barrows of England. And not only is the quality degenerating, but there is a tendency likewise toward diminution of quality. The cranium develops at the expense of the face and jaws, and as the space required for the teeth diminishes, their number likewise decreases. While the lower vertebrates have four grinders on each side in each jaw, the highest have three, while in man their number is reduced to two. Nor is it expected that the diminution will stop here if the average size of the human skull goes on increasing as it is now doing. Fortunately, the question does not press. —Pall Mall Gazette. One watch set right will do to try many by; but, on Hie other hand, one that goes wrong may be the means of misleading a whole neighborhood; and the same may be said of the example we individually set to those around us. Thomas a-Kemp is. Bagasse, it is said, jnakes as good paper as straw, the only difference being that it takes a little longer to heat it on account of the toughness.

All Right and All Wrong.

. Four business men sat in a Third avenue car on their way down town. Looking up from his newspaper one of them said: “Here’s an item that says gopher holes make horseback riding dangerous on the plains. Now, Pd like to know what a gopher is, anyway,” looking around inquiringly. “A gopher is a striped squirrel,” said a tall man, in a tone of quiet assurance. “You’re mistaken, sir,” said his neighbor. ”A gopher is a land turtle that burrows.” “I shall have to differ from you, gentleman, ” interposed the fourth man. “A gopher is neither a striped squirrel nor a turtle. It is a kind of rat.” A man on the opposite seat, who had listened to the conversation with evident interest, said: “Excuse me, gentleman, but you are all mistaken. A gopher is a snake. I’ve killed lots of ’em, and I know what I am talking about.” “Are you willing to back up your opinion?” asked the gopher-squirrel man, taking a roll of bills from his pocket. “Certainly, sir. Here’s $5 that says a gopher is a snake.” The money was put into the hands of the gentleman who started the discussion. He accepted it under protest, saying that he was positive that a gopher was a gray burrowing squirrel. He had often seen them. A heated discussion followed, in which the words gopher, snake, squirrel, rat and turtle figured prominently. The money in the stakeholder’s hand soon amounted to $25. It w'as agreed that Webster should settle the dispute. The gentlemen alighted from the car, went into a hotel, and a copy of the “Unabridged” was procured. “Gol-gop-p-p-gopher—here it is,” said the stakeholder, as he ran his fingers down the page: Gopher—An animal of several different species. The name was originally given by French settlers to many burrowing animals from their honeycombing the earth. In Canada and Illinois the name was given to a gray burrowing squirrel, west of the Mississippi and in Wisconsin to a striped squirrel. In Missouri, a common species is a pouched rat of a reddish or chestnutbrown color, with broad, mole-like fore feet. In Georgia a snake is called by the same name, and in Florida a turtle. As the stakeholder refunded the money, he said: “Gentlemen, it appears that we are all right and all wrong. But we have, at least, learned something.”—New York Sun.

Canadian Bazar.

Mr. John Osborne, Musical Bazar, Toronto, Canada, writes that his wife was cored of rheumatism by the great pain-banisher, St. Jacobs Oil; that he has found it an invaluable remedy for many ailments.

Brilliant Financial Stroke.

A gentleman riding along the road near Del Valle saw a shiftless looking fellow seated on the top rail of a fence whittling, and he said to him: “See here, my friend, you ought to be at wotk, not sitting there on the fence whittling.” “I made $5 here yesterday, and I reckon that pays. ” “Made $5 whittling on a fence. I would like to know' how you did it. ” “Why, you see, Cap, if I hadn’t been here I’d have gone to Austin and got drunk. Then they would have fined me $5, so I consider that I am just that much ahead, don’t you ?” “Yes, yes, you are right,” said the man; “you keep right on at that rate and you will be a Jay Gould before you know it.” —Texas Siftings. On the ostrich farm near Anaheim, Cal., ostrich chicks are being hatched at the rate of one a day. When they first come out of the shell they are nearly the size of a half-grown duck. They eat ravenously, and grow very rapidly.

A Little Pain at First.

Years of torture afterward. Such is the wretched experience of too many rheumatic sufferers. Slight twinges in the bones or muscles, attributed possibly to a cold, finally declare themselves, by their increasing intensity, as evidences of the atrocious malady. But why give it headway. Why not eradicate it at the start with the S 3 tent blood depurent, Hostetter's Stomach itters. commenced by physicians with equal emphasis for rheumatism, as for dyspepsia, debility and constipation, complaints lor which it is an absolute specific. Where mineral and alkaloid poisons fail, the Bitters will be fouud to afford the rheumatic the relief they so often seek in vain. Attacked with this searching remedy at the outset, the malady rapidly gives ground, and the sufferer experiences a cessation of pain, of which he had before despaired. Malarial fevers also abate rapidly through its influence, and disorders of the liver, stomach, bowels and kidneys are overcome and prevented by it. An Ohio dentist has devoted himself to active politics, probably on the ground that his calling has fitted ‘him for “taking the stump.” —Pitsburgh Telegraph. “Yes,” said the farmer, “barbed wirefenco is expensive, but the hired man doesn’t stop to rest every time he has to climb it.”

Tons of Silver.

Five thousand tons is a good deal of silver for the Government to keep in its vaults, especially so when every single dollar could be invested in Carboline pro bono publico. When the little short man begged the big tall woman for a kiss, she stooped to concur. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is an extract of the best remedies of the vegetable kingdom known as Alteratives and Blood-Purifiers. The silence which reigns in a cornfield well provided with scare-crows—is it not a case of an effect without caws? Rock Hill, 8. C.—Rev. J. 8. White, says: “ I used Brown’s Iron Bitters for general debility. It restored me to strength and vigor.” Of course all imported eggs are stowed beneath the hatch-ways. Rfmarkablk for overcoming diseases caused by impure water, decaying vegetation, etc., is Brown’s Iron Bitters. When a man is half-seas over you may harbor a suspicion that his Judgment is afloat. J. W. Thornton, of Claiborn, Miss., says: “Samaritan Nervine cured my sou of fits.” It does not matter how well the gardener tries to do—he is always slipping. Wakefulness at night is a terror, Samaritan Nervine cures it, and hence is a blessing. Would you call a nurseryman who grafts trees a Buddhist? As one having used Ely’s Cream Balm 1 would say it is worth its weight in gold as a cure for Catarrh. One bottle cured me.—3. A. Lovell, Fsanklin, Pa. (See ad’vt.)

New Bisk, H. C. —Rev. G. W. Offiey, says: “ I have taken Brown’s Iron Bitters, and consider it one of the best medicines known. ” Th* sleepy brakeman knows what a carbuncle do in a tight place.

HUMORS.

The animal fluids of the body, when poorly nourished, become vitiated and cause eruptions to appear on the skin. They are objectionable from their disfigurement, and vary in character from a constant, uneasy sensation to a positive distress and severe pain. Hood’s Sarsaparilla corrects the derangement of the functions, enriches the fluids, purifies the blood, and changes the diseased condition to one of health and vigor. Pimples. Halford Flynn, of New York, had so manypimples and blotches on bis face that he was ashamed. He tried various remedies without effect. Hood's Sarsaparilla purified his blood, and all blemishes disappeared. Ringworm. My brother is a victim to a humor which brings ringworms all over his face. He is using Hood's Sarsaparilla, and already is so much benefited that his eyes are no longer affected. He will continue its use till he feels fully cured.—L. E. Howard, Temple, N. H. Rheum. My little boy was so badly afflicted with a humor that we had to mitten bis hands to keep him from rubbing the sores, which itched and discharged a watery matter.

LABOR A BURDEN.

For a number of yean my wife haa been a severe sufferer at timea with indigeetion and kidney and liver troubles. She had such severe pains in the back that she at times became very much debilitated, and the least labor was a burden. I feared that it would terminate in Bright's Disease, as there were the symptoms. She bad no appetite at times. She Med several medicines, but only received temporary relief from any of them until she commenced using Hunt's Remedy, which was recommended to us by druggist Smith, of Auburn, saying that it had been used by a good many with the greatest success for the cure of kidney, liver and bladder troubles. She commenced using it, and found by the use of only one bottle she had been relieved of the pains in herbaok had regained her appetite, and could rest well and attend to her household duties, and we can truly say that Hunt’s Remedy is a most wonderful medicine, and cheerfully recommend it to the public. K. S. R. Armstrong, Juke IS, 1883. 92 State Street, Auburn, N. Y. I have been troubled for a number of years with kidney and bladder difficulty; at times have suffered a great deal with the weakness caused by the inflammation and intense pains in the back and loins. I tried many medicines that were recommended, but none of them seemed to reach my case until one dsy I related my case to one of our druggists here in Auburn. Mr. Smith was very urgent that I should try Hunt’s Remedy, for he knew of many who had used it with wonderful success. I purchased a bottle and used it, and found a good deal of benefit, and commenced to improve rapidly, and the pains in the back were relieved. I gained strength and vitality, and after using four bottles I have been completely cured, and have recommended it to others, and give this statement voluntarily, believing that, from my own case .Hunt's Remedy is all that it la recommended, and you can use this as you choose for the beueflt of the public.

13 Strike at the Bottle. A nervous and disease-stricken old gentleman was sitting in his room on an easy-chair, his physician being at his side. Said the old gentleman, “ Now, doctor, you have been treating me for a long time, and haven’t done me much good. I’m tih«d of all tide. I want you to strike at the root of all my disorders.” Said the doctor, “Do you mean exactly what you say?” “To be sure I do,” said the venerable invalid. “Well, here goes!” said the doctor; —and with one whack of h:§ cane he broke to pieces the brandy-bottle which stood on the mantel.
