SLANG OF THE CIRCUS MAN. Au-Con Which b f alateUlcihl* to All tat the Traveling bhovuan. The circus folk not only have a slang of their own, bat as they are masters in the general slang of the day they talk a jargon which would be simply unintelligible to the uninitiated. They are in a line of business to catch every cant phrase going, and any new word which is only a local invention. To a circus man the manager or the howl of any enterprise is always “the main guy,’* while those in subordinated positions aire simply “guys.” The tents are “tops” to the circus men, and they are subdivided into the “big top,” the “animal top, ” the “kid top,” the “candy top” and so on indefinitely. The sideshow, where the Circassian girls, fat women and other curiosities termed “freaks” are shown,is termed the “kid show, ” and the man with the persuasive voice who scteHs to entice people into the “kid show” is known as a “barker. ”

The men who sell peanuts, red lemonade, palm leaf fans, animaland sons books and concert tickets are known under the general term of “butchers,” while that class of circus followers whose methods are outside the pale^ the law, such as pickpockets, gamblers 'anxl short change men, are either “crooks” or “grafters, ” To get a person’s money "without. giving them any equivalent is “to turn them. ” A countryman is either a. “Rube” (Reuben) or a “Jasper.” Thus if a countryman went into a sideshow and was robbed of $10 there a circus man would say, “The Rube went against the sgrafterin the kid top and got turned for 10 cases. ” From the combination of the warning cry of “Hey” and the word “Rubo”iconics the circus man’s rallying cry of “Hey, Rube!” which is always Sounded in times when a fight, with outsiders is imminent. The cry of “Hey, Rulbb!” has been in use among circus, men for half a century or more, and in thoold days i it was often followed by bloodshed and even loss of life. Fights between circus men and outsiders are comparatively rare today, however, and serious trouble seldom occurs, except in sparsely settled regions of the south and west The musicians with a circus are known as “wind jammers,” thecanvas men and other laborers are “razorbaeks, ” while a man who drinks to excess is either a ‘ lusher” or a “boozer ” These last two expressions are not confined to circus men, but have been used largely and more commonly by them than by any other class, Tho distance from one town to another is always known as a “jump,” and traveling is “jumping. ” A circus tfiat travels overland is known as “a red wagon show” in contradistinction to a show that travels by rail. Tbe show ground is always called the “lot, ” and tbe dining.tent, where most of the circus men get their meals, is tho “camp.” Horses are always “stock,” and tho horse tents arefthe “stocktops.” Thenthereare scores of technical terms describing the work of the different performers, which, while hardly to be classed as slang in themselves, ne vertheless add to the picturesqueness of the circus folks’ vocabulary. Thus among acrobats there are the “understander, ” the “middleman” and the “top mounter. ” ^ Among the riders there are rough riders, pad riders and bareback riders, and among the funmakers there are “patter,” or talking clowns, singing clowns and knockabouts. A down used to be allied a “cockier” in the English circuses. The three ring tents, with their great size, have knocked the aged patter clowns, common in the single rings in Tony Pastor’s day, out of business. Nobody without a voice like a speaking trumpet‘can be heard nowadays in the great tent. The knockabout business has come up in consequence,' and the dude and Reuben clown meander among the audience representing eccentric spectators not belonging to itho show.—Worcester American.

On Her High Hone* , A lady was showing a visitor the family portraits in the picture gallery. “That officer there in nniform>" she said, “was my great-great-grandfather. He was as brave as a lien, but one of the most unfortunate of men. He never fought a battle in which he did ned have an armor a leg carried away.” Then she added proudly, “He took part in 24 engagements.”—London Answers A Curious Ornament. ,Several specimens of a curious ornament have been found at Nineveh. It is a piece of rose shaped stone or glass, the experts do not know which, that both transmits and reflects the light. One traveler has described this ornamen t as a “translu^cent opacity.” About the year R C. 220 edible serpents were sold at the rate of 20 | for 40 cents in the Egyptian markets. ! They were shipiied to Rome. Italian vipers were cheaper—20 for 15 oents.

TIGHT SQUEEZE FOR SMITH. AM Bcccccb B* Wasted to Retwra S Ocala Be Wee Taken For a Banka Man. Not to be provided w ith small ooin somet imes leads to embarrassing situations on the surface (Sirs. A friend of mine, whom I shall call Smith, had an experience the other day which he will not soon forget, and meat) than a dozen passengers on a Broadway car will go through life, if they do not read the story, believ-j ing t hey saw a genuine bunko man trying to secure prey in the leading thoroughfare in the city. Tiiis Mr. Smith hoarded a Broad- J way car at Twenty-third street to go j to Canal street. When the conductor | asked for his fare, he searched through all his pockets for a small ooin. Failing to find one, he took out i his pocketbbok and handed the con-; doctor a $10 bill. I “I can’t change that,” said the conductor coldly. Sm ith asked some persons in the car to give him change for the bill, but none seemed able to do so.

“Do yon want mo to leave the car?** asked Smith. 4 “You need not do that, ” said the conductor, “but you should not expect a conductor to give change for so large a bill.” Then an old lady—one of those good pld souls you meet everywhere —made her presence known. “Here, Mr. Conductor,” she said, “111 pay the man's fare. I don’t like to have you stand it, as I’m afraid you will. ” She handed thecmuftiCtbr a 6 cent piece. He rang up the farc^ and Smith thanked her for hehkint^actThen he again started out to get change for his bill. He had asked a half dozen men to accommodate him and had reached the forward end of the car before he found one who could or would” make the necessary change. Small bills and coins were oounted out in his hand while he still held his own #10 bill. Just as the last dime had been oounted, and before he had handed over his $10 bill, Smith happened to see the kind old lady leaving the car. Hoping to catch up with her, he started forward with his own and the other man’s money held firmly in his hand. * > “Hold on; you don’t get away with my money so easily as that!” shouted the man who had furnished the change, while ho grasped Smith by the arm and pulled him Roughly around. Every passenger looked at Smith with suspicion, and ho was so embarrassed bur could not say a word for himself. J j 1 “You are a bunjfp man,” was plainly written on the face of every one in the ear, and Smith read the words as plainly as though they had been actually written. The men seemed ready to assault him, and the women crouched as far away from him as possible. “But I only wanted to give the lady her nickel, V Smith finally managed to say. “I had no thought of taking your money.” “Well, she’s gone now,” said the man, who had not relaxed his grasp, “and the best thing you can do is to give me back my money. I want my own, too, not your bill, which tuay be spurious.” Smith gave him his money, sat down in a far corner of the ear and fear the rest of his journey tried to appear unconscious of the withering glances cast upon him. As he alighted at Canal street he heard a distinct sigh of relief from every passenger in the car.—New York Her-; aid.

Wood Monies. Wood mosaics are now.manufactured in a purely mechanical wav at the Paris Palace of Industry. The scale of colors is extremely rich, there being no less than 12,000 different shades that can be used. This being the case, the very best paintings of the old masters can be faithfully reproduced. The great advantage attained in a mosaic is that, should the colors fade, they can be restored to their original hue by planing, because the fiber of the wood is thoroughly and evenly permeated by the colors. These mosaics are durably affixed to boards, with their oolors beautifully exhibited by placing the grain of the wood at right angles.—St Louis Republic. Am Antiemeken Remedy. “Are you still troubled by your neighbor’s chickens?” asked one man of another. ‘‘Not a hit’* was the answer. “They are kept shut up now. ** “How did you manage it?” “Why, every night I put a lot of eggs in the grass under the grapevine, and every morning when my neighbor was looking I went out and ■ brought them in.”—Troy News. A Description. In the cemetery at Barnstable, Hass., is tge following inscription: “Here Lyeth. interred ye body of Mrs. Hope Chipiphn, ye wife of Elder John Chipman, aged 45 years, who changed this life for a beer ye 8 of January, 1683.”—New York TribHartford was a mistaken spelling of Hertford, the name of a town in England. The word means “army ford.”

:--- - .—- THE BRAZILIAN ANACONOJ, 1* CwM Devastate the Country If I t Had Mar* ftertnwi. Whatever the possible dimensions of the Indian and African boos, there can be no doubt that the anaco nda cf Brazil grows to a size that vouhl make this species as mucl the scourge of the Brazilian forest and of the waterways of the Amazon as the shark is of tropical harbors! were! its ferocity equal to its strength and astonishing power of speed, whether on land or in water. It could kill and probably devour every creature, including man, which is found in the Amazon delta.

The late Mr. Bates, m his 111 years spent in the Brazilian forestis, saw and heard more of the habits of the anaconda than most travelers, though, like other great serpen ts, the individuals of this species are so little common that their appearance in any one district is too infrequent to make a special study of their ikabits port of the day’s work of a busy naturalist. Bates’ first personal experience of the creature shows how impossible it is to avoid the python by the ordinary means of isolation sufficient to keep other dangerous; creatures at a distance. He was at anchor in a large boat in deep winter in the port of Antonio Malagueita. An anaconda swam out to the boat, lifted its head from the water, broke in the side of a fowlhonse bn deck and carried off a couple of fowls. It was found that this snake had been stealing ducks and fowls: from this part of the river for months, so a hunt was organized, miles of river bank were searched and the serpent at last found sunning himself in a muddy creek and killed. It was “not a large specimen, only 18 feet 5) inches long.” But Mr. Bates measured skins of anacondas which w?re 21 feet in length and 2 in girth; and he adds, “There can be no doubt that this formidable serpent grows to an enormous bulk and lives to great age, for I have heard of specimens having been killed whieh measured 42 feet in length, or double the size of the largest which I bad the opportunity of examining. ” We must add a correction here. They were double the length, hut the size of these great reptiles, liko that of fish, increases enormously with every addition in longitudinal growth. A snake 20 feet in length Would probably be four times the weight of one 10 feet long, and the hulk of a 40 foot anaconda would approach that of the largest erectile. Since the publication of “The Naturalist’s Voyage on the Amazons” an anaconda of 29 feet has been brought to the Natural History museum at South Kensington. A neighbor of Bates in Erazil nearly lost his 10-year-old son by the attack of an anaconda. Ho had left the boy in his boat while he went to gather fruit, and on his return found him encircled by the snake, whose jaws the father seized and actually tore them asunder.—London Spectator. Wh It the Dandy or the Dade? Down in the first row, on oi<i>osite sides of the middle aisle,, sat two men, and at both of them the prima donna cast furtive hut genial glances. One was a dandy of the old school, a wize$*d man, with a faded face and eyes like a fish. His clawlike hands, on which ho wore large and heavy "rings—in his day the well dressed man mounted conspicuous jewelry—trembled as he raised his

opera glass at the divinity bemnd the footlights. The man across the aisle was young, strong, brown and wholesome looking, although an up t© date dude. His dead white linen was confined by dull pearls, and his attire was conspicuous only by a huge, white, curly chrysanthemum. His eyes never left the lady behind the footlights. After the third act a magnificent basket of Mareclial Neil roses rewarded the lady's vocalization. This was evidently the offering of the dandy. The good looking dude tore his chrysanthemum from his buttonhole and threw it to the songstress, who caught it even as she bowed over the, roses. Afterward I met two of this trio in Delmonieo s at supper. ' , Now, did I meet the lady at supper with the dandy or with the dude?— New York Press. No Admittance. A recent freak of the Russian custom house authorities has been communicated to ns by a friend hi Helsingfors, Finland. An entomologist, residing in that town, not l<ng ago sent a rare fly from Lapland to a brother scientist in Italy, but had the parcel returned from the Russian frontier, with the notice: “The importation of dead animals into Russia is prohibited. ” The parcel was subsequently forwarded via Sweden. —• Neckaraeitung.
