The Fox in Fiction.

In fables the character! of the fox is dual. It is generally the deceiver, but Also on occasions the dupe. Many animals on occasions fall a victim to it—in the single romance of Reihcke Fuchs it outwits and infamously ruins the king lion and pretty yearly all his courtier quadrupeds—but every now and again the same animals flout it, make fun of it, play tricks on it. Even cocks and kids have a joke occasionally at its expense, which is very true to nature, for we often see the professional sharper, the habitual traitor, exposed and put to shame by simple honesty or innocent mother wit. Betty with her mop routs the fencing master. But, above all, the fox is always beaten when he tries to pass off his dishonesties upon other foxes; the rogues know each other too well to try to guess where the pea is. So when the fox falls by accident into a dyer’s vat, and comes out a fine blue all over, he goes back to his kindred and tells them that he is a peacock of the sky. But they recognize his voice and worry him till they pull all his blue fur off, and he dies. Stories of the same purport are abundant and familiar to’ all. Yet there are plenty of occasions in which the fox behaves very honorable to its friends and appears in the light of a benefactor, notably in those tales where reynard plays the part of Puss-in-Boots, such as Cosmo the Quickly Enriched, and others. Moreover, the cock is sometimes found on the most friendly relations with the fox, who helps it against their common enemy, the wolf. It is almost needless to say that many poets condemn fox hunting, “which rural gentlemen call sport divine,” and perhaps superfluous to add that their reasons hardly justify their condemnation. To them the sportsman appears something rather less than human. To the field he flies, Leaps every fence but one, then falls and dies Like a slain deer; the tumbril brings him home, Unmissed but by his dogs and by his groom. Especially does this class of poet detest to see women in the field. Far be the spirit of the chase from them I Uncomely courage, unbeseeming skill, To spring the fence, to rein the prancing steed. They hope “such horrid joy” will never “stain the bosom of the British fair.”— Gentleman's Magazine.

A Curious Tribe.

The report of the Resident in the State of Selangore, in the Malay Peninsula, for the last year contains some curious information -with regard to “aboriginal tribes” called the Sakeis, who number between 700 and 800. They are in nine divisions, under headmen called Batins, and they live mainly by collecting gutta, rattans, and other jungle produce. As far as is known they have no form of religious worship, but they are very superstitious, believing in good and bad omens, the sacred character of certain birds, and they always desert a village as unlucky on the death of any member of the tribe. They tattoo figures on their arms, but apparently only for the sake of ornament, and do not use any specially significant figure, peculiar to each tribe, analogous to the totems of the North American Indians. They consider no kind of edible food unclean, but eat even monkeys, snakes and scorpions, which they kill by means of a blow-pipe, throwing a dart poisoned with the juice of the ipoh or upas tree. For large game they use a kind of crossrbow, consisting of a sharpened bamboo spear placed horizontally on a grooved log, and a bent sapling fastened back by a rattan cord. This cord is stretched across a patch in the jungle, and, on being touched, releases the sapling with sufficient force to drive it completely through a deer’s body. The Sakeis live in small huts made of bamboo, and thatched with leaves of the Bertam palm, raised eight feet or more above the ground. They are shy and easily frightened, but are quite harmless, and are gradually becoming accustomed to Europeans, by whom they are employed to track game and to cut paths through the jungle. They are small in stature, but are otherwise very similar in appearance to the Malays, from whom they differ, however, in usually having wavy instead of straightgrowing hair. A few Malays are attached to every Sakei community to act as go-betweens in the sale of their, produce, and the officials have received special instructions to protect aboriginal tribes.— Nature.

Origin of “Old Abe.”

The following interesting story is told by ex-Senator E. B. Washburne in the North American Review. Speaking of Mr. Lincoln, he says: “We met at the celebrated River and Harbor Convention at Chicago, held July 5,6, and 7, 1847. He was simplya looker-on, and took no leading part in the convention. His dress and personal appearance on that occasion could, not well be forgotten. It was then foii the first time I heard him called ‘Old Abe.’ ‘Old Abe,’ as applied to him, seemed strange enough, as he was then a young man only thirty-six years of age. One afternoon several of us sat on the sidewalk under the balcony in front of the Sherman House, and among the number that accomplished scholar and unrivaled, orator Lisle Smith. He suddenly interrupted the conversation by exclaiming, ‘ There is Lincoln on the other side of the street! Just look at Old Abe!’ And from that time we called him ‘Old Abe.”*,

He Had Deceived Her.

He belonged to the militia. She though, he was a soldier. It was through this mistake that the trouble all originated. Having seen him with his uniform on she did the Desdemona racket the next time he called and wanted to love him for the dangers he had borne. “Were you ever in a mad, wild attack?” she asked in an awestricken voice. “Can’t say I ever was,” he replied flippantly. “I have never Deen in an attack, but last month I had a tack in me.” “What!” she cried, raising from her chair. “That’s what it was,” continued he, getting up also. “It wasn’t a mad, wild ■ tack, but was just one of those plains ordinary zinc carpet tacks and-—-” “Enough,” exclaimed she. “You have deceived me. You are but a carpet knight. Go.”K Pittsburgh Chronicle. „

Politics Too Mach for Him.

a lady on Fifth avenue, New York, quickly summoned a doctor: “Oh, doctor, my husband is nearly dead. He attended a caucus last night. He made four speeches and promised to be with his fellow citizens again to-day. But, oh, doctor, he looks nearly dead.” “Has he been in politics long ?” “No, only last year. He worked hard for •James McCaulay’s election." “Be will get well, madam I He has a stomach for any disease, if he worked for him!” Political life, of short or long duration, is very exhausting, asis evident from the great mortality which prevails among public men. Ex. U. 8. Senator B. K. Bruce, who has been long in public life, says: ‘•The other day, when stepping into a car at a crossing, J found Dr. within, who eyed me up and down in a surprised way, remarking: “ ‘Why. Senator, how well you look!’ “‘Well, I feel pretty well,’ I answered.” The doctor uttered an incredulous reply, when the Senator frankly told him, in answer to an inquiry, that it was Warner's safe cure which accomplished for him what the profession had failed to do. Senator Bruce says his friends are very much astonished at this revelation of power.— The Globe. •Overwhelmingly defeated. >

The Body’s Tolerance.

Sometimes a slight blow on the head has resulted in death, or, what is worse, in the permanent loss of reason. A mere scratch on the hand, dr a sliver in the foot, or a grain of dust lodging in the eye, or the tiniest fish-bone entering the windpipe, has proved fatal. Such facts may lead us to accept the poet’s statement: “The spider’s most attenuated thread is cord, is cable, to man’s hold on life.” But there is another class of facts quite as surpris-. ing that are different from these. An iron bar has been driven through the brain, with a considerable loss of brain substance, and yet no permanent harm has come to body or to mind. The fact is, while a mere prick in a part of the brain (the medulla oblongata) may cause death, the great bulk of the brain is exceedingly tolerant of many forms of injury. Even the heart is much more tolerant than is generally thought. The physician may thrust his fine instrument through it with safety. An insane woman sought to kill herself by piercing it with a hairpin, but wholly failed of her purpose, although the pin interfered with the natural movements of the heart.

A woman swallowed a paper of pins. The pins traversed various organs and tissues of the body, and yet she recovered from local inflammation. A boy was brought to the hospital insensible and nearly dead from asphyxia (want of breath). The doctor, having run a catheter down the windpipe, a piece of chestnut was coughed up. The next day there was evidence that another piece was lodged in another of the bronchial tubes., It was impossible to dislodge it. There followed all the symptoms of acute consumption (pthisis): high temperature, sweatings emaciation, copious expectoration of offensive matter and a large cavity. Yet the boy in three months returned home convalescent, and six months later the cavity disappeared.— Companion.

Only a Boy.

Sunday night the exercises in the Congregational Church had proceeded decorously enough until the choir had reached the line of the second verse of the first hymn. Just as they struck’ that every light in the room suddenly went out, and the notes of the singers and the strident tones of the organ vanished into the darkness. A few moments sufficed to relight the gas, and the good dominie, with his mouth muffled by his hand to hide an audible smile, said: “The choir will please sing the closing verse of the hymn,” and they at once began: Come, light serene 1 and still Our inmost bosoms fill, Dwell in each breast. The soprano sang a queer compound of snicker and psalm as her eyes caught the words, and the whole audience was on the broad grin to the close of the verse, which was given in good style. It seems that a young miscreant had stolen into the basement of the church and turned the gas off just when he imagined.it would make a sensation. He was nabbed as he tried to slip out by two young men, who took him part of the way to the lockup, and, not finding a policeman, let him go for the time being. He will, nevertheless, get his deserts at the proper time.— Florida Times-Union.

An Awful Big Price.

Two “mourners" were returning from a funeral at.. a very fashionable cemetery. " U ■ “Dr. Intone reads the services beautiful,” said one. “Don’t he?”Jaid the other. “Do you remember how impressively he uttered the words, ‘O death where is thy sting ? O grave where is thy victory ?” “Yes, very beautiful. How much do those lots there cost ?” “I think they sell from SSOO to $5,000.” “Gosh! It may not be much of a victory, but it’s an awful high price.”— Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

What Did Adam Have On?

/“Don’t you think,” said Mrs. Keener, “that when. Adam realized the vastness of the world intp which he had been ushered that he must have had a great deal on his mind ?” “Well,” responded Mrs. Blunt, “from the photographs I have seen of him I should say that whatever he did have on must have been on his mind.”— Yonkers Gazette.

Chestnut Vender-r“Haye ’em roasted or boiled ?’ Professional Humorist “Boiled, man! I’ve got a houseful of roasted chestnuts.

It is singular how early in life a child gains the reputation of resembling its richest and best-looking relations. Why is fame like an eel? Because it is very har d to catch, and a good deal harder to hold. Instead of waiting for a chance, make one. i> ’ T

THE HOTEL CLERK’S STORY.

It is the fashion qmong many so-called humorists to represent the American hotel clerk as a lordly .and supercilious being, who, with a headlight diamond in his immaculate shirt front and a look of .contemptuous disdain upon his classic features, sends tired and travel-stained arrivals off to impossible regions in the fifteenth story, or haughtily refuses them any lodging whatever. The fact is that the true American, hotel clerk is an invaluable feature of our civilization. The time of the arrivals and departures of all the trains on all the railroads is at his tongue’s end; he is full of information about what is interesting at the theaters, and of stories of actors and actresses who have stopped at his hotel, and withal a kindly man, who, if the house is crowded, will let you sleep on a billiard table. Mr. W. P. Hammond, who is clerk at the West End Hotel, 503 and 505 West Madison street, Chicago, is of this obliging disposition and is always ready to give any information regarding the hotel to those who seek it. The accomplished landlady of the West End has recently suffered with rheumatism. The story of her cure is thus told by Clerk Hammond: “Our landlady was taken with quite a severe attack of rheumatism in the lower limbs, suffering much pain and being scarcely able to walk. She heard of Athlophoros and of the cures it had effected, and sent me to the drug store to buy a bottle of it. I got it, and in half an hour's time after she had taken the first dose she felt relieved, and in a few days the rheumatism was entirely gone.” “How much did she take?” “About one bottle.” “Has she had any return of the pain?” “Not to my knowledge,” replied Mr. Hammond, “and I am certain she would be likely to say something about it if she had. She speaks of Athlophoros in the highest terms, and has recommended it to many. In one case I - remember the cure was as quick as in her own.” The accuracy of Clerk Hammond’s statements is fully confirmed by the landlady herself, who is not averse to having it known how she was cured. “I will tell you something about my cure,” she said to a visitor who called to learn the facts in her case. “I was so lame and suffered so much pain that it was impossible for me to bend my limbs or walk around my room without taking hold of the back of a chair for support. My relief, after taking the first dose of Athlophoros, was almost immediate. In fact, after taking a few doses I was well and have not been troubled since. At the same time that I was suffering from the rheumatism, there was a lady boarding in my hotel who was suffering with facial neuralgia so much that it was impossible for her to sit up. I advised her to try ‘my remedy,’ that being the name I have for Athlophoros. After she had taken two doses of it she was well, and the next thing I knew I saw her rushing for a street-car to go up town. My confidence in Athlophoros cannot be shaken. I find it a positive cure for nervous headache and shall always keep some in the hotel, as I cannot afford to sufferfrom rheumatism, neuralgia, or any such trouble while I can get a medicine like Athlophoros.” If you cannot get Athlophobos of your druggist, we will send it, express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophobos Co., 112 Wall street, New York.

Doesn’t Believe in Camp-Meeting.

The editor of the New York Christian Advocate, the leading “officialMethodist newspaper, says that he has steadfastly refused, for twenty years past, to preach at or attend any campmeeting keeping its gates open on Sunday, and that camp-meeting Sabbathbreaking has been repeatedly rebuked by bishops and conferences. “In the early days of Methodism,” he adds, “when churches were few and the population widely scattered, they (the camp-meeting Sunday services) were justified. And now in sections not supplied with churches, where it is a choice between no services at all, Sabbaths of idleness and dissipation, and campmeetings, we do not disapprove them; but in the thickly settled, church-sup-plied communities we believe them (whether there are conversions or not) to be doing on the whole Satan’s and not Christ’s work,” No opiates or poison.

Hercules a Celt.

The real Hercules was a Celt. The Cesnola statues, older than those we hate been accustomed to see in our Greek histories, represent him with a bull’s hide on his back, and not with the Eastern lion’s head and skin. The Pillars of Hercules could well have been so styled from the presence of a Celtic conqueror forcing his way in an early migration to the .most southern portion of the Spanish Peninsula.

A Puzzling Question.

“Mother, don’t the angels wear any clothes?” asked a little girl of her mother. “No, my daughter. ” “None at all, mother?" “None at all.” There was a pause, and the little cherub asked: “Where do the angels put their pocket-handkerchiefs ?”— Fxchang e.
