The Great Animal Fights in Cashmere.

The animal fights formed part of the festivities in connection with the installation of the Maharajah of Cashmere. Two huge water buffaloes, with ropes on their feet and a dozen men at each rope, were introduced to each other, the crowd closing around them to within a few feet. Neither animal required any urging, but put his head down at once and butted. The shock of the opposing skulls rang like the sound of a hatchet on wopd across the arena. Then both brutes laid head to head, and pushed, and grunted, and pawed, and sweated for five minutes, the crowd yelling madly meanwhile. The lighter weight was forced back into the crowd, recovered himself, butted again, turned sideways, and was again forced back. After a few minutes more, when each animal was settling down to his work with wholehearted earnestness, the order was Sveu to separate them, and very rectantiy the gigantic mussucks were hauled in opposite directions. Next came the fighting rams, spotted and shaven beasts, with Homan noses and rowdy visages, straining away from their owners, and all apparently spoiling for a fight. Two or three couples were let go together, ran back to gather way, came on and met; ran back, charged again, and repeated the performance till the sound of their foolish colliding heads was almost continuous. After the first few minutes, when you begin to realize that neither animal is likely to fall down dead, ram fighting is monotonous. Sometimes a ram runs back to his charge valiantly enough, and midway in the outset loses heart, turns tail to his antagonist, and flees to his master. The adversary, being a beast of honor, immediately pulls up and trots back to his master. One light-limbed doomba with red spots seems to be the champion of Jummu. His charge generally upsets his antagonist at once, and few of the rams care to stand a second. As soon as all the rams had been disposed of, certain vicious shrieks and squeals gave evidence that the horses were being got ready, and the police set about widening the ring. Presently a bay galloway and a black pony danced out, dragging their attendants after them at the end of a long rope. The instant they were let go they ran openmouthed at each other, turned tail to tail, and kicked savagely for five minutes at each other, the black suffering the most. Then, after the manner of horses all the world over, they turned around and closed, each striking with his fore feet and striving to fix bis teeth in the other’s crest. They squealed shrilly as they boxed, and finally rose on end—a magnificent sight—locked in each other’s arms. The bay, loosing his hold on the black’s poll, made a snatch at the black’s near foreleg, which was at once withdrawn. Both horses then dropped to the ground together, and kicked and bit at close quarters, till the bay fled with the black after him through the crowd. The saices at the end of the drag ropes were knocked over, scrambled up, and caught at the ropes again, while the two maddened brutes plunged and struggled among the people. About half a dozen people were knocked over and shaken, but no one was hurt; and, after wild clamor and much running hither and thither, both bay and black were caught, blindfolded, and led away to reappear no more. — Homeward Mail.

Saw His Freedom.

Old Randsom had been blind during many years. He had heard the guns of the war, had heard the shouts of his emancipated brethren, but had never seen his freedom. He continued to live in his cabin, surrounded by his wife and children, who supported him. His wife died, and his heartless children, one by one, deserted him. After this he contrived to make a living by bottoming chairs. Several months ago he became too feeble to work. About that time a young man whom the old negro had nursed came home. “ You needn’t try to work any more, Uncle Randsom,” said the young man. “I have bought the plantation, and a part of what I make shall be yours. ” “Thankee, Mars Bob; thankee, sah, ’Twon’t be fur long, sah, fur de ole man is gettin’ putty close to de eend o’ de row.” It was not for long. One night, after a storm, when the wind was sinking to rest, the young man stood by the bedside of the old negro. “Are you suffering much pain, Uncle Randsom?” . “No?honey, nuthin’ hu’ts me er tall; de diffikilty is dat my bref is sorter wraung.” “You are dying, old man.” “Yes, sah, an’ thank do Lawd fur it. I’se been in de dark er mighty laung time, Mars Bob, er mighty Jaung time, an’ now I’se gwine out inter de h'ght. Dese ole eyes o’ de body ain’ no count, but de eyes o’ de soul ken look at de glories o’ de udder wort’. ” “Do you wish to leave any word for your children, in the event that I should ever see any of them?” “No, sah, nothin’ in purtic’let, only dat I forgibs ’em. Sorter prop me up, es yer please, sah. Dar, dat’ll do.” “You are happy in the belief of a future life, are you not ?” “Oh, yes, sah; oh, yes. Es dar wa’n’t no life arter dis, de worl’ would be er failure. De Lawd wpuldn’ wanter create me ter be a slabe ha’f my life, an’ blin’ de udder ha’f, if it wa’n’t ter teach me er gre’t lesson. Wbar dat light come from ?” he said, raising his hands. “Mars Bob, Mars Bob, I kin see—l kin see! Look at de light. Tildy,” referring to his wife, long since dead, “yer’s fotch er lamp "to light de ole man er way. I’se gwine—I’se gwine! De light gits brighter an’ brighter. Hol’ it up, hoi’ it up. Thank de Lawd dar ain’ no mo’ night. Thank——” The young man eased him down. At last the old man had seen his freedom. Arkansaw Traveler. Pbof. W. F. Babb att, F. R. 8. E., of the Royal College of Sciences, Dublin, comparing the different illuminating agents in use at the present moment, claims that for the same, amount of light gas costs 12 cents, the glow electric 12 cents, and the arc 6 cents. Paraffine oil occupied a very high position as an illuminant in cheapness and undeleterious nature of waste pro-

ducts, but its disagreeable smell and the danger attending its use were against it Electricity .gave rise to no deleterious products at all, but the arc lamp gave « dazzling light, throwing intense shadows. In calculating the cost of providing the electric light for a house the chief item was the interest on capital laid down in plant; the actual supply of electric energy was the least of the items. For 2GO lamps lighted 500 hours a year it was cheaper to have gas than the arc electric light.

High Wages.

A little group of pioneers was sitting in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, discussing the labor problem. “Times in California,” said Senator Langford, “are growing worse and worse every year for the wage-worker. The Chinese evil is ruinous to white labor. When I came here in ’49 high rates were paid all kinds of labor.” “What is the highest price, Senator, J r ou have ever known paid an unskilled aborer in California ?” inquired one of the group. * “Five dollars an hour.” • “Tell us about it.” The Senator leaned back in his chair and told the following: “The usual excitement prevailed as the Panama steamer came to her moorings at Long Wharf, San Francisco, one September day in 1849. Shortly after the steamer’s arrival two young tnen walked up the wharf, valise in hand, and entered the Oregon house at the head of the wharf.. The house was built on piles, to which boards were nailed to within about six inches of the house proper. The young men sat down on one of the two boxes which adorned the bar-room. While they were enjoying a smoke, one of those jovial fellows that are the life of all small gatherings entered, and called for his regular supply. He asked Jim, the proprietor, if he had his hired men. Jim replied in the negative, stating that it was impossible to get men, although he had offered them five dollars an hour. The young men, overhearing the conversation, informed him that they would work for that figure, and asked what the job might be. “‘Bailing out mv cellar. Takeoff your coats and pitch in.’ “The trap-door leading to the cellar was raised, and the young men then commenced their labors. After they had raised a little perspiration the jovial fellow appeared, and seeing them hard at it, informed the boys, who soon crowded the house. “The young men worked hard and fast. At the end of six hours, the water not diminishing, one of the new arrivals made a survey of the cellar, when he discovered through the sixinch space intervening between the boards and the house, Coaxial and. “The young men were each paid thirty dollars out of the five hundred taken in at the bar, while trying to bail out the Bay of San Francisco. ” Bill Marshall, in Tid-Bits.

Educating the Popular Taste.

“Ther’s no use o’ yer talkin’, gentlemen,” said the porter on a hotel car out in lowa, “yo’ can’t git any drinks in this eah, not s’long as hit’s in the State of lowy. ’Gin the rules, gemmen, ’gin the rules. Sorry, ’cause we’ve got some o’ the best whisky ole Kentucky ever turned out right in the state-room there, but it’s ’gin the rules, gentlemen, it’a ’gin the rules.” “Oh, well,” replied the trio of thirsty passengers, “we wanted a drink pretty bad, but I guess we’ll have to go without this time. * “Awful sorry, gentlemen, but it’s ’gin the rules, yo’ know, in the State of lowy. Like to ’commodate yo’, ’cause dat whisky’d make yo’ sleep like lambs and dream o’ Heaven an’ de angels. Like to give yo’ a taste of it, jus’ to show you how good dat likker is, but it’s’gin de rules, gentlemen—it’s ’gin de rules.* ~r“Well, let’s go to bed, boys,” said the spokesman of the three belated passengers in the smoking saloon, throwing away his cigar; “we can’t get a drink, and we may as well go to sleep. We’!! be in Illinois in the morning. ” “Don’ be in a hurry, gentlemen,” said the porter, “’taint very late yet As I said, it’s ’gin de rules to sell whisky on dis cah in de State of lowy. But I don’t mind tellin’ yo’ dat dere’s a picchaw o* de ’stillery where dat angel likker o’ ours is made hangin’ up in de state-room. Dis is de key to de stateroom, an’ if you gentlemen want to go in ter inspeck dat work o’ art I guess I hain’t got no ’jections. Hit’s worth jus’ fifty cents apiece all ’roun’ to see dat wonderful work o’ art. Thanks, sah—thanks—you’ll find adecantah—thanks, sah—you’ll find a decantah behind de picchaw, an’ a bottle o’ seit 'er fo’ de side down in co’nah o’ de room. Right this way, gents —alius like to encourage folks what has a taste fo’ aht, but we can’t sell no whisky—it’s ’gin de rules, yo’ know—’gin de rules.”—Chicago Herald.

The Tea Drinkers.

Statistics lately published in India show that the Australians are the greatest tea drinkers, the average annual amount of tea used by each person in their country being nearly seven pounds and three-quarters. In Great Britain the average is nearly five pounds, and in this country only a pound and a third. Holland is the only country in Continental Europe in which the consumption per individual exceeds one pound a year. In Russia, generally regarded as a land of excessive' tea drinking, only three-fifths of a pound per head is used. Crackle glass is produced by covering one side of a piece of plate glass with a thick stratum of a flux, or readily fusible glass, mixed with coarse fragments of glass. The flux (or fusible glass) under this treatment cracks and splits, leaving innumerable fine. 1 nes of fracture over its surface, having much the appearance of scales in irregular crystals, which cross and intersect each other in every direction, producing the most striking and beautiful effects when the light falls upon its surface. The rapid cooling of the fusible coating is effected by exposing it to a current of cold air, or by cautious sprinkling with cold water.

Does Overwork Kill?

We read every little while of some man who has killed himself with overwork. We do not much believe in the theory. A good many are killed by worry, a good many by dissipation, but not many by work, for work is the fate of man, and nature prepared him for it He may through his work neglect regular food, exercise, and bathing, or when tired he may brace himself up with artificial stimulants, and some morning he may break down, but that is not the work of the engine but the abuse of the boiler. Or he may have a worry about business or about fame, and these may fret the life out of him; but it is no more due to hard work than when the sand of a muddy stream cuts the boxes out of a water-wheel. It is said that Secretary Manning has been prostrated by overwork. A glance at his picture will reveal that he was wound up for a hundred years’ run, and if he is disabled it is because the boiler was neglected and permitted to burn out where it could not be patched, or with a 100-horse-power boiler he ran with full pressure a 50-horse power engine until the valves gave way. A man’s body is so delicate that the prick of a bare bodkin may break all its adjustment and cause it to fall back to 41iist, and yet that delicate mechanism was adjusted originally for a full voyage, and unless it is in some way abused it will carry its freight safely over all the deeps of life. It will withstand both labor and disease better than care. There is a story going around of two poorhouse inmates in the East who are each 114 years of age. The secret is that when, half a century ago, they were sent to the poorhouse they knew that their future was provided for, and they gave up worrying and grew fat.— Salt Lake Tribune.

His Vinegar.

A hurried grocer gave a countryman a jug of coal-oil instead of a jug of vinegar for which he had asked. Several days afterward, when the countryman came back, the grocer said: “My friend, I haie an apology to make to you!” “How so ?” “Why, the other day when you were in here I gave you coal-oil instead of vinegar.” “Wall, I’ll be blamed es that don’t splain it. When we poured some o’ the stuff on the turnip greens wife ’lowed that it tasted quar’, but I lowed that it was because she had been down with the chills. Yas, an’ I now un’erstan’ er nuther thing. I spilt some on me an’ er minnit airterwards I drapped a lit match on my britches an* 11l be dinged es I didn’t think I’d burn up ’fore I could shuck ’em off. I thought that it wuz the caperinest vinegar I ever seed, but didn’t find nothin’ quar’ in the taste ’cept it wan’ sour er nuff.” —Arkansaw Traveler.

How to Tell a Good Orange.

The very sweetest and richest orange is the black or rusfy-coated fruit. Pick out the dingiest oranges in the box, and you will get tne best. Another way to choose oranges is by weight. The heaviest are the best, because they have the thinnest skin and more weight of juice. Thick-skinned oranges are apt to be dry: they either weigh less because of having so much skin, or because of the poverty of the juice in these particular specimens. A slight freezing on the tree causes this condition in otherwise fine fruit.

Imagination.

Few dreams of the imagination are ever realized. He who gives himself up to fancy is like a man led by a child, who tells him of all the wonderful things that he will show him in the garden of the world, and when he comes lto see the marvels, he finds them but May blossoms, and brier roses, that fade as soon as gathered, and leave a bunch of thorns in his hand.

The Charm of Female Conversation.

Beauty lies in other things than fine features and cosmetics ; and no grace or manners can compensate for a lack of the art of conversation. It gives a charm to the society of ladies which nothing else can. Curran, speaking of Madame de Stael, who was by no means handsome, said she had the Ejwer of talking herself into a. beauty. adies, think of this! .

For Tired Young Men of Thirty.

The young man of thirty who complains that he feels tired, has had his day, can’t keep up with the procession, and the like, should call to mind the work such men as Gladstone, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Bismarck, and a score of others are doing, though they have all passed the three score and ten years allotted to the span of human life. All these men have been hard and life-long workers. A locomotive will be more damaged by a year’s lying up on a side track than by twenty years of hard steaming and hauling. Not one toiler in a thousand dies of overwork, but thousands have died and thousands are dying of the diseases induced by sloth, and the vices of which idleness is the appointed guardian. Gladstone at 73 could fell a tree for the pleasure of the thing, and would defy the blows of the enervated youth of modern cities. George Cruikshank, the artist, walked ten miles a day when verging on his 80th year. Titian did some of his best work when he was 70. The natural stimulus and support of the muscles and the nerves is work. For want of it the system rusts, like a machine that is retired from service. Young men are very wise in their own conceit, but they can still take a lesson from the old, especially when these old men bear the honored names of Gladstone and Holmes. — Baltimore Herald. Mb. G.

Manners Between Boys.

There is a good deal of rudeness between boys in their intercourse and bearing with one another that is not really intended as such, but is not, therefore, any the less to be disapproved. It is often simply the overflow of excessive high spirits. But the very best good-humor, unrestrained by proper bounds and limitations, may become the most positive incivility. We often apologize for the coarsened s of people by saying, “He means well.” It is well if we can make such an apology for them, for if their rudeness is really intentional they are not fit to be received into any worthy person’s society. But they who mean well should also do well, and the ways of politeness are never so easily learned as in youth. The boy who is habitua ly coarse and rude in his bearing toward other boys will be such as a man toward men, and all his life will never gam the reputation of being a gentleman. Diphthebia is frequently the result of a neglected sore throat, which can be cured by a single bottle of Red Star Cough Cure. Price, twenty-five cents a bottle. Why Middle Seats in a Car Are Best A very common theme of conversation among commercial travelers is the question of whether or not a car rides easier in the middle than above the trucks. One of our railroad contemporaries some time ago published an article on the subject, and took the ground that there could be no difference unless the sills and framing of a car yielded like the buckboard of a wagon. There is certainly no yield to car sills and framing; yet every old traveler avoids the seats, and especially the sleeping berths, above the trucks, and old travelers generally know what they are doing. If the party who. insisted that there could be no difference in motion in different parts of the same car had ever crossed the stormy ocean in a moderately long steamer he might have received some enlightenment, especially if seasickness urged him to find the point of least motion. It is well known that there is less motion amidships than there is at the stem or stern, and less motion at the bottom of the vessel than there is on deck. A car acts in a similar way. Anything defective about the track jerks the wheels, which transmit the irregular motion to the truck, and that in turn to the body of the coach.— Railway World.

Prompt Reform of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily evils, enfeebled digestion, incomplete assimilation, inactivity of the liver, kidneys and bladder, as well as of the nervous symptoms which these ailments are especially prone to beget, is always accomplished by the use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine accredited by physicians, pronounced pure by analysis, and eminently wholesome and agreeable. Surely such a restorative is preferable to unpalatable and indigestible mineral drugs ana unsanctioned nostrums. The nation at large assuredly thinks so, judging by the unprecedented demand tor the article from Maine to the Pacific, a demand now supplemented by immense orders for it received from tropical America, Mexico, the British and Spanish Colonial possessions, and elsewhere. Both at home and abroad it is recognized as a standard remedy and preventive, the decisiveness of its effects recommending it everywhere. >

Why Have Yellow Fever?

Singularly flattering reports continue to be made concerning Dr. Domingos Freire’s system of preventive inoculation in yellow fever. A late one to the Paris Biological Society states that during the three hot months in Brazil ending with February last, 3,051 subjects were inoculated in Rio de Janeiro, and not one had the fever, whereas in the same districts and houses 278 non-vaccinated succumbed to the disease. What is more remarkable is that severe cases were inoculated in the bbcond stage of the disease, and all recovered.

Another Life Saved.

About two years ago. a prominent citizen of Chicago was told by his physicians that he must die. They said his system was so debilitated that there was nothing left to build on. He made up his mind to try a “new departure.” He got some of Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” and took it according to directions He began to improve at once. He kept up the treatment for some months, and is to-day a well man. He says the “Discovery* saved his life. - '
