JUMPING HIGH FENCES.

Tlie Pleasures of Killing to Hounds Across Country—A Tale of Tumbles. After one meet at Sagartiore diill, says Theodore Roosevelt in an article on riding to hounds in the Century, I had the curiosity to go on foot over the course we had taken/ measuring the jumps; for it pts very difficult to form a good estimate of a fence’s height when in the held, and five feet of timber seems a much easier thing to take when sitting around the fire after dinner than it does when actually faced while the hounds are running. On this particular hunt in question we ran about ten miles, at a rattling pace, with only two checks, crossing somewhat more than sixty fences, most of them post-and-rails, stiff as steel, the others being of the kind called “Virginia” or “snake” and not more than ten or a dozen in the whole lot und<er four feet in height. The highest measured five feet and half an inch, two others were four feet eleven, and nearly a third of the number averaged about four and a half. There were also several rather awkward doubles. When the hounds were cast off some forty riders were present, but the first fence was a savage one and stopped all who did not mean genuine hard going. Twentysix horses crossed it, one of them ridden by a lady. A mile or so further on, before there had been a chance for much tailing, we came to a five-bar gate out of a road—a jump of just four feet five inches from the take-ofi'. Up to this, of course, we went at one time, at a trot or handgallop, and twenty-five horses cleared it in succession without a single refusal and with but one mistake; which speaks pretty well for the mounts we were riding. Owing to the severity of the pace, combined with the average height of the timber, although no one fence was of especially noteworthy proportions, good many falls took place, resulting in an unusually large percentage of accidents. The master partly dislocated one knee, another man broke two ribs, and another—the present writer—broke his arm. However, almost all of us managed to struggle through to the end in time to see the death; and as the score of battered riders turned their horses’ heads homeward I could not help thinking that we looked a good deal as if we had been taking part in some feat of arms as gentle and joyous as that of Ashby-de-la-Zouche. But it would be very unfair to think the sport especially dangerous on Account of the occasional accidents that happen. A man who is fond of riding, but who sets a good deal of value, either for the sake of himself, his or his business, upon his neck and limbs, can hunt with almost perfect safety if he gets a quiet horse, a safe fencer, and does not try to stay in the front rank. Most accidents occur to men on green or wild horses, or else to those who keep up in front only at the expense of pumping their mounts; and a fall with a done-out beast is always peculiarly disagreeable. Most falls, however, do no harm whatever to either horse or rider, and after they have picked themselves up and shaken themselves, the couple ought to be able to go on just as well as ever.

The Great Cost of the First Pens.

Only a few years ago Bulwer put into the'mouth of his dramatic creation, “Richelieu.” these pregnant words: “The pen is mightier than the sword 1” In the short time which has since, elapsed these words have acquired a new truth and a new application; the pen has conquered the sword in the field of commerce, as completely as it had formerly triumphed in the fields of high policy and world government. The Jittle civilizer (as it may well be called) is now in every hand, but within the memory of many men still living the steel pen was simply a curious and costly toy, noticeable as an ingenious mechanical fad, but not at all as an invention likely to come into practical use. The earliest form of this article was certainly not promising. A piece of sheet steel was bent into a tubular form, and cut and filed away to imitate the shape of a quill pen, the junction of the two edges forming the nib, which, of course, extended all up the back of the pen. These were known as early as 1810, but were regarded as articles de luxe, to be given away as E resents, and not for use. They were ighly polished, perhaps gilt or silvered, and sold for as much as five shillings each. In 1824 Mr. James Perry, the founder of a system of education, took up the steel pen as a practical invention, and by indomitable eiiergy, overcame the difficulties in its construction and the objections to its use. He patented several varieties, and spared no expense to attain perfection. His brother informed Mr. Samuel Timmins, of Birmingham, that he paid seven shillings per pound for his steel, and five shillings per pen to the first workmen he employed, and that for years afterward the price given to his workmen was thirty-six shillings per gross. ______ ’

Balzac’s Wife.

Everything that concerns Balzac’s life is mysterious, but this attachment tO,Mme. de Hanska seems to me to give us the key to many points that are otherwise incomprehensible. First of all, it helps to explain his herculean literary labors and that intemperance of toil which, while fatally undermining his health, yet enabled him to produce such a prodigious quantity of work. To my mind, the explanation of Balzac’s immense efforts is his old double thirst for celebrity and love. “To devote myself to the happiness of a woman is my perpetual dream,” he wrote to his sister in his earlier years. He had now found the woman of his dreams, and he worked in the hope of one day laying his glory and his millions at her feet. This happy day came at last. Mme. de Hanska was left a widow in 1847, and after having seen her daughter Anna married to Count Mniszech and having settled her affairs in Poland she became the wife of Honore de Balzac., The marriage was celebrated on March 14, 1850, at Wierzchownia, and the patient lover was at last able to announce “the happy denouement of that grand and fine drama of the heart which has lasted sixteen years.” “Three days ago I married the

only woman that T eveFjdVfcff' wfiomT love more than ever, and whom I shall love until death. This union is,'l believe, the reward which God held in reserve for so much adversity, so many years of labor, so many difficulties encountered and surmounted. I have had neither a happy youth nor a flowery spring; I shall have the most brilliant summer, the sweetest of all autumns, Cornhill Magazine.

Big Pay for Authors.

During the early days of the New York Ledger Mr. Robert Bonner was noted for giving large sums of money to authors whose names were considered of more value than the amount of printed matter which was the result of their pens. Many of the writers to whom he paid what might appear to be almost fabulous sums were then not so well known by name as Mr. Gladstone is to-day;, but they were prominent enough for Mr. Bonner to desire that they should be recognized as contributors to his periodical. On one occasion he paid to Mr. Tennyson, now poet laureate of England, the large sum of $5,000 for a poem which only made twenty lines in that paper. This was at the rate of $250 a line—a price that would almost seem to be beyond the value of any written production. The same publisher, anxious to secure as a contributor the late Charles Dickens, paid him $3,000 for a sketchy story which barely filled six columns of the Ledger. This was at about the rate of $lO per line, and although the sketch was not the equal of many others which the author has had printed, with his name attached, in the English periodical All, the Year Hound, the money paid was not considered too much for the work of an author whose name had become so popular. Edward Everett was secured as an exclusive writer for the same periodical for one year at the rate of SIO,OOO. He was only required to furnish one article each week. This contribution rarely filled a column when set up in the bold type of that periodical. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was paid $30,000 for “Norwood.” Mr. Beecher at that time was a very popular preacher, and his name in connection with the work made it much desired by readers of serial stories. Other less popular writers, whose names were not so prominently before the public, were also paid high prices for serial stories of merit, on condition that they should write exclusively for a special publisher. Book-writers have been engaged by serial-story publishers, merely for the purpose of getting their names associated with certain periodicals. Although the exact sum paid the war generals and naval officers who have been writing historical sketches of the late war in a leading magazine is not known, it is said that all received far more per line for their contributions than the “generous offer” made to Mr. -'Gladstone.— New York Mail Und Express.

The President’s Money.

The President of the United States always uses new money. He never gets any old notes, except in change when making purchases. His salary is paid him in monthly installments—s4,166.66 on the last day of each month—and the Treasurer always makes it a point to send him notes of the latest issue. Mr. Cleveland, as his predecessors have done, keeps a private bank account with Biggs & Co., and makes a deposit the first of every month, reserving enough from his salary to pay current expenses and setting a good., example by putting the rest aside for a rainy day. lam told that his account has shown a balance as large as $35,000, as he has an income aside from his oflicial salary. While he has never been a money-getter and has earned in his profession all he has ever made, Mr. Cleveland has an economical disposition and no luxurious tastes like his immediate predecessor. Before he entered public life, when he was making from SIO,OOO to $15,000 a year by his practice and could have lived like a lord, his expenses, I am told, were never more than $2,500 a year, and he enjoyed life as much as most men do. His frugal habits were acquired in youth, for he was not born with a golden or even a silver spoon in his mouth, and he has found his pleasure in hard work. — Washington Capital.

Tattooed Women.

Those who think tattooing, as most people do in this part of the world, a custom of semi-civilized countries, except in the case of sailors, will probably, be astonished to learn that there are two sisters belonging to one of the most prominent families in Washington, socially as well as in official circles, whose grandparents, on both sides, were also for more than a generation back similarly situated in the national capital, who are really tattooed. Both the sisters are young, and one has been married for several years, and the other is betrothed. When scarcely in teens these girls, just for the fun of the thing, being of a lively, daring, temperament, allowed a sailor at the naval station, where they were with their parents, to tattoo their cheeks with red, and it has remained in the skin ever since, making the skin wear always a peculiar brick-dust hue that no one has ever’ been deceived into believing natural, and wander has often been expressed that these ' young ladies painted their faces in so glaring and inartistic a manner. Few know that they are tattooed, and that they have doubtless often regretted bitterly the freak of their early youth.—Washington

Quite Considerate for a Lawyer.

Lawyers are not all bad. They have feelings if you can only go deep enough. A lawyer up in the country was called to defend a Mexican for some serious crime, and he got him off. “What fee did you get?” somebody asked him. , “Well, the fellox was very grateful —very grateful. After the" trial he came to me and he emptied his pockets. He had twenty dollars, and a watch, and a jack-knife.” “And yon ” “I took tbe. twenty dollars and the watch. I gave him" back the jackknife. D—n it, you didn’t expect me to rob the poor devil San Francisco Chronicle.

DIET.

Correction of Some Prevalent faU«cle» In K.-grtltl tO It. That there is any nutriment in beeftea made from extracts. There is none whatever. That gelatine is nutritious. It will not keep a cat alive. Beef-tea and gelatine, however, possess a certain reparative power; we know not what. That an egg is equal to a pound of meat, and that every sick person can eat them. Many, especially those of nervous or, bilious temperament, cannot eat them, and to such eggs are injurious. That because milk is in important article of food it must be forced upon a patient. Food that a person cannot endure will not cure. > That arrowroot is nutritious. It is simply starch and water, useful as a restorative, quickly prepared. That cheese is injurious in all cases. It is, as a rule, contra-indicated, being usually indigestible; but it is concentrated nutriment and a waste-repairer, and often craved. That the cravings of a patient are whims and should be denied. The stomach often needs, craves for, and digests articles not laid down in any dietary. Such are, for example, fruit, pickles, jams, cake, ham, or bacon, with fat, cheese, butter, and milk. That an inflexible diet may be marked out which shall apply to every case. Choice of a given list of articles allowable in a given case must be decided by the opinion of the stomach. The stomach is right and theory wrong, and the judgment admits no appeal. A diet which would keep a healthy man healthy might kill a sick man, and a diet sufficient to sustain a sick man would not keep a well man alive. Increased quantity of food, especially of liquids, does not mean increased nutriment ; rather decrease, since the digestion is overtaxed and weakened. Strive to give the food in as concentrated a form as possible. Consult the patient’s stomach in preference to his cravings, and if the stomach rejects a certain article do not enforce it.

How He Proposed.

He had thrown himself into an easy chair in the club, says the San Francisco Chronicle, and lay there with one hand on his forehead and an open letter in the other. “What’s the matter— sick ?” “I’es.” “Come and take a drink.” “No, thank you; had enough. Say, stick a pin into me won’t you?” “What for?” “Just to see if I’m awake.” “You’re all right.” “Read this.” And he handed over the letter, which read: MY Darling Jack: Mamma told mo she met you this morning. lam so glad you’re back from Pasadena. Why, whv did you not write me a line? Come up just as soon a< you can. lam longing to embrace you. Your own JANE. “That’s very pleasant. ” “Yes, but who is it?” “Don’t you know? I £on’t.” “I met Mrs. to-day—by jove, it’s her daughter! I say, what can this be ? Come to think of it, I met the old man, too, and both of them were effusive and said they expected me up to-night. Hush, here’s her cousin. ” And the cousin came up. “Hullo, Jack! Back again? Yon left Mrs. ’s reception that night two weeks ago so suddenly I did not have time to speak to you. Jennie told us the news when she got home, and I assure you we’re all glad. You’re going up to-night, aren’t you? She’s been wild for two weeks because you never wrote a line.” . “Yes, yes. I’ll be there to-night. They’re all well ?” Then he rushed off and covered himself with a newspaper, and it gradually came to him that in a burst of champagne enthusiasm he had proposed to Jennie in the corner of a secluded drawing-room at that reception, tad there Is no' way out of it -until- he- can get an excuse to quarrel with her and break it off.

The Prominent Citizen and the Journalist

A Reporter was Accosted by a Prominent Citizen, who said: “"Why is it that you Newspaper fellows are always Poking your Noses into other People’s Business ? It isn’t Right and it Ought to be Stopped. You are regular Vampires, who suck the best Blood in the veins of the Community. By the way, did you Hear that Smith had skipped to Canada? Fact He made $75,000 by it. Jones’ wife has eloped with Brown. I have it on good authority, but don’t mention my name.” With these and divers other Pointers given him by the Prominent Citizen, the Reporter was able to several Screeds that Day, and the manner in which he Scooped some Esteemed Contemporaries was painful to Behold. But the Prominent Citizen, when he saw what had been Published, said to his wife: “We shall have to stop the paper. This invasion of Private life is infamous. There should be laws to regulated these matters.”— Omaha Herald.

A Costly Experiment

“I vould like to know very much,” remarked Mose Schaumberg to Gilhooly, “if my brudder Sam was an honest man.” “I’ll tell you how to find out if he is honest or not,” responded Gilhooly. “Next time you go off on the train take him along to the depot, and just before the train leaves give him a ten-dollar bill and tell him to change it. If he comes back with the change, then he is presumably honest.” “But ven he don’t come pack?” “Then you lose your $lO, but you gain experience.” grashus!

Universal Brotherhood.

(4 / The great Italian confederation of counterfeiters was long suspected to have an agency in Venice, but a Venice paper assured its readers that the crooks had fled en masse, and found believers until it was discovered that the reporter of the paper was himself a member of the black-legged brotherhood. He was permitted to remain at large till he made his escape under circumstances suggesting a surmise that the detective, too, had taken the pledge of the league. A committee was then appointed to sift the bottom facts, when Commissioner Laporta suddenly took to his heels, and in haste forgot certain papers that completed the surprise of the public. For it now appears that in official circles I aporte’s connection with the crooks had long been an open secret, but that his arrest was deferred for the reason that Sig. Gerardi, the chief of police, wa« himself a member of the gang. — Prof. Oswald. The virtues of St. Jacobs Oil, as proclaimed by millions of restored sufferers, should induce everyone to supply his household with this great specific. It conquers pain.

The Summit of Our Continent.

Professor Iglesias, of San Luis Potosi, maintains that the barometrical measurements of Mexican mountains have been formulated without due allowance for the influence of the coast climate, and that Mount Orizaba, not Popocatapetl, is the summit of the North American continent. It is certainly the finest mountain of the Mexican Cordilleras. Its rival humps its broad back above the naked hills of the central plateau, while Orizaba lifts its symmetrical cone high above the pine summits of the coast range, as the only snow peak which the mariners of the Gulf can view in its full grandeur. The height exceeds that of Mont Blanc by at least two thousand feet.— Professor Oswald. “It is as harmless as it is effective,” is what is said of Red Star Cough Cure by Dr. 8. K. Cox, D.

The Invincible Armada.

King Philip’s fleet, which came to invade England in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and met with such wholesale disaster, consisted of a hundred a,hd thirty ships, sixty-five of which were called galleons, and looked like float ing castles they were so tall and strong; four of them more gigantic still were called “galliasses.” - They were provided with 2,500 cannon. They were propelled partly by 2,000 slaves, who were chained to their oars. When We Demoralize the Stomach By excesses or imprudence in eating, we cannot hope to escape the consequences for any great length of time. The most robust digestion m:, st succumb to abuses of that important function. But supposing that we have been foolish enough to enleeble the stomach, is the damage irrepn - ■ble? By no means. The dyspeptic has only to do two things to insure h’B ultimate recovery. First, he should adopt an easily digestible diet. Second, he should use with regularity and persistence Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the leading gastric invigorant of the age. The multiform symptoms of dyspepsia, and the almost inv riubly attendant disorders, biliousness and constipation, will assuredly cease to persecute the sufferer if the above advice is attended to. Who that has suffered the torments that chronic indigestion inflicts will neglect to take advantage of a remedy which, if the most positive evidence of the medical profession and the public is to be received with due credence, is an absolute specific for the complaint.
