SL APE'S SEX WAS MADE,

When Slade recovered sufficiently to Utik Mhf begged that the gentleman would not expose her. He said he would not do so pnbitciy if she would acknowledge the truth to the physician of the feteauier. Slade at last consented, and told the doctor all about it. He made

Ian examination, which proved beyond doubt that she was a perteotly developed woman. One of the queerest parts ol the story Is that Slade wears a heavy mustache, She said that she had always wanted to be taken lor a man, aud had shaved her face daily wheu very young, and had kept the practice up until she had a long, heavy mustache, of which she was very proud, and which she took great care of, and could have l.ad a beard and whiskers if she dressed them. The physician is a man who is well known in San Francisco, and stands well among his professional bretbern. After the story ha1 been overheard, the person who heard it asked Slave's room mate it it Was true, and be said

Slade was found guilty of fraudulent practices, and was sentenced to £bree months' imprisonment at bard labor, but his sentence was afterwards quashed on some technical ground.

One day in mid-ocean Slade was stricken down with something like paralysis while in his stateroom.

THE THRILLING APPEAL 3AVED A LIFE.

WHICH

In a recent c?se in the Recorder's court, aiiburuey J. W. Donovan told the following story, which is, Public Spirit believes, quite newv It hails from Texas.

One hot day in July, 1860, a herdsman was moving his cattle to a new rancbe iurther north, near Helena, Texas, and

Eerdngdown

ase the banks of a stream bis became mixed with other cattle tng in the valley, and failed to be separated.

that were grazini some of them The next day about noon a band of a dozen mounted Texan Rangers overtook the herdsman and demanded their cattle, which they said were stolen.

It was before the days of law and court houses in Texas, and one bad better kill five men than to steal a mule worth five dollars, and the herdsman knew it. He tried to explain, but they toid him to cut it short. He offered to turn over all the cattle not his own, but they laughed at this proposition, and hinted that they usually confiscated the whole herd, and left the thief hanging on a tree as a warning to others in like cases.

The poor fellow was completely overcome. They consulted apart a few moments, and then told him if he bad any explanation to make or business to do they would allow him ten minutes to do so, and defend himself.

He turned to the rough faces and commenced: "How mauy of you have wives?" Two or three nodded. "How many of you have children They nedded again. ••Tben I know who I am talking to and you'll bear me," and he continued

I never stole any cittle I have lived in tbesp parts tuive years. I came from New HHmp-Mre I failed there in the fall of '57, duri»« ibe panic I have been saving I live on hard fare: I have slept ou the ground I have no home her© my family is in the east, for I go from place these cloth's I wear

touier but this is a hard country davs seem like months to me, and months like years married men, you know but far the letter# I receive from bome —{here be jailed out a hand.'ulof well woru envelopes and letters from bis wife)—I should get discoaraged. I have paid part of my debts. Here are the receipts," aud bo unfolded the letters o! acknowledgement. "I expect to sell out and go home in November. Here is the testament my good old mother gave me here is my little girl's picture. Now, men, if you bave decided to kill me for what I am innocent of, send these home, and seud as much aa you can for the cattle when I'm dead. Dant you send half the value? my family will need it." "Hold on, now stop right tbar," said a rough ranger. "Now, I say, boys," be continued, "I say, let him go. Give us yottr band, old boy that pictnre and them letters did the business. You can go free but you're lucky, mind ye." "We'll do more than tbat," said a man with a big heart, In Texan garb, and carrying tne customary brace ot pistols In bis belt, "let's buy bis cattle aud tot him go."

They did, and when the money was Ptover and the man about to start, he was too weak to stand. The long strain of hopes and fears, being f*r away from home under such trying circumstance*, the sudden deliverance from death, bad combined to render him beipleea as a child. He sank to the ground completely overcome. An hour later, however, be left on bowebaek for the neareat stage route, and aa tbey abook hands and bade htm good by, they looked the happiest band of men I ever saw.

I have nursed and cared for those who have been stricken with it, and seen many go down under its influences but at no time have I ever felt Its contagious influence upon myself, and I can truthfully say tne presidential fever has never got the least hold upon myself.

oouple,

evidently on their first journey, and a sour- faoed old maid, who waa traveling alone. The oouple had an upper berth, and the "maiden well atrtoken In years" tbeopper berth In the adjoining section. ID the same car were a oouple of frolic someyouths, ready torany^ortbftollchief. Bedtime came, and air bands retired, But the husband ooald not sleep. Whether was because of"ibe oars, the Biolao. or the novelty of the situation, he oould not tell, but, try aa be would, he coald not sleep, At length It occurred to him that he waa thirsty. The more he thought of it, the more thirsty he got. So he called the porter, who brought the ladder and nelpea him down. While he was gone for tne water, one of the "boys" stepped out of bed and shifted the ladder so that it rested against the berth in whloh the ancient maiden was sleeping, and then returned to his bed to note the result In a moment the husband returned, and crept quietly up the steps, anxious to make as little noise as possible, so as not to awaken his wife. The ooonpant of the berth thus rudely intruded npon awoke with a start, and screamed. The husband, supposing it to be bis easily frightened wifOf tried to reassure her, and said: "Iris only me." "Only you, you old scoundrel,"said the venerable maiden, "I'll teach you a lesson," and with that she seized him by the hair of the head and screamed for help. Then his wife, awakened by the noise, discovered where her husband was, and raised ber voloe in lamentation, heaping reproaches upon her faithless spouse. Then the passengers all got up and demanded an explanation of the commotion, and foremost among them was the wretch who had caused It all. Tben the busband, oovered with confusion, and utterly unable to account for what he had done, climbed down from his perch and slunk away to bed, where he was soundly lectured for his faithlessness. Altogether It was a most uncomfortable though ludicrous situation, and the glances of defiance that were exchanged between the wife and the old maid all the next day were a study. ,,

SCIENTIFIC The manner ills

the most Ingenious of forgers have been unable to overcome this difficulty. Benzol and benzln nave been generally regarded as synonymous, but certain pharmaceutical works now apply the term benzln to a light petroleum product. True benzol Is soluble in half to three-quarters of its weight of alcohol, while the petrolium spirit requires six times its weight.

Beans are good for food in every situation, especially at sea, because the seeds are living and the phosphates contained in them are in a more or less soluble condition. If beans are hard, dry, and incapable of germinating, their phosphates will need to be rendered soluDle by citric acid or some other available, agent, otherwise the system will be insufficiently supported with nutriment.

SINGULAR FACTS ABOUT ELEPHANTS

Letter from India,

The extent to wbioh the elephant can be trained is remarkable. He will lift the largest teak logs, and teak is among the heaviest of woods, and arrange them in piles. He will push a log with bis foot against the saw, end carry the sawed wood in his tusks or truok. In all these maneuvers he is directed by the mabout, who sits on bis neck and manages him with a goad, or more generally with the word of mouth.

Sometimes an elephant is so wild1 and untamed as to be dangerous, and yet be will serve his masters. We saw one animal pushing logs' about, who bad killed four workmen. He was kept- in order by a lad who ca.ried a shaarp spear, keeping it always near the elephant's eye. The Spear was little more than a moral influence If he had wished to attack bis- keeper a spear would be of little use beyond a stab or two. The memory of these stabs, however, was aa effective to the elephant af» chains and thongs, and he roiled the logs about in the most unconcerned manner.
