GRANDFATHER LICKSHINGLE. An Interesting Experience witu a Man of Extensive Family. “AN hen I was in tho newspaper business nt East Bradv, Pa.,” said Grandfather L’ckshingle, “I had an odd experience which I thought you might wish to make a note of.” The reporter said the paper was very much crowded these days, but Grandfather went on: "I was sitting in the office one day, when a tall, raw-boned, rugged-looking old mnn came in. He wanted to trade a load of wood for some job work, but we had been trading job work and subscription! for wood for the past six months and had all we wanted. I struck him for the job on a cash basis, and he be’an to talk. “He said he wanted a card about eight b” twelve inches with the inscription p nted on it: : J. c. K. ; The Father of 34 Child rev. “He knew more about the woo l business than he did about printing, and was afraid that thirty-four children were too many to get on such a small card. He would have the card made larger, but he wanted it to hang across his breast when he had his picture taken. He was getting tolerably well along in years, and some of his neighbors thought it would be a good thing if he would hare his picture taken with this card on his breast, to leave as a proud legacy to his children and his children’s children. “I saw there was at least a good item forme in this incident,” continued Grandfather, “and I encouraged the old man to talk. I asked him if he was the original ‘J. C. K.’ He said he had that honor. His name was J. C. Kirkwood, and he f WRB, in fact, as he w shed printed on the card, the father of thirty-four children. I csk<?d him if he had thought the matter over carefully and if he w.'.'B ready to go 'on record to that effect. He sa’d be h?.u । given the mu* ” thought and was ready 1 to be placed on record. A year ago he wasn’t ready. His neighbors at that time had asked him to have such a card print- I ed and the picture taken. He looked favor- 1 ably on the idea, but told them he would ; hold off a while. He had his own reason ; for holding off. His neighbors did not i press him for the reason and he did not give it. At that time he had thirty-three ’ children. Since then his household had - been gladdened by another. He had been | thinking the matter over and had made i up his mind to have the nicture taken. ! There was no occasion, he thought, of any | further delay in the matter, and if the price i was satisfactory we could go ahead with the card. “We agreed on the price, af!er some dickering, and Mr. Kirkwood went out to sell his wood while the card was being | printed. He came back at the appointed I time, got his card, paid for it, and pro- i ceeded to the photograph gallery. In half . an hour he came with a tintype in his I hand, and the maddest man, I I link, in the county. The letters on the card were ; reversed in the picture, and the inscription read backward. “Mr. Kirkwood had got a tintype in- i stead of a photograph, for economical ; reasons, and a tintype being a negative ’ picture the letters were of course reversed. I :.nd the effect was not what the old man I had expected. He accused me of having ; p timed off a lot of ‘left-handed type’ on ; him, and declared if we did not print him ! a card on right-handed type he would , clean out our bunco piint shop in what j he designated as a ‘holy second.’ ‘I explained the situation to him as best ' I could,” concluded Grandfather, “and ' after much difficulty convinced him that the fault was in the picture and not in ! the printing. But rather than spend j money on another picture he concluded i to keep the tintvpe; and that is why the ; Kirkwood family, living near East Brady, has an interesting family record which reads backward.” — New York World. Play and Work. Although the French are an industrious people, they seldom allow themselves to ' be entirely absorbed by business The shopkeepers, in small provincial towns, have away of occasionally throwing off the harness, and asking customers to await their pleasure. Max O’Rell says that he once entered a hatter's shop, at St. Malo, at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, j and was asked, by a girl who sat in the i back parlor, what he wished. “I want a straw hat, mademoiselle.” ’’Oh, that’s very awkward just now! ■ My brother is at dinner.” After a pause, she added: “Would you mind calling again in an hour’s time?” “Not at all,” I ieplied, much amused. “I shall be delighted to do so.” In an hour I called again. The young girl made her second appearance. “My brother waited for you quite ten I minutes,” she said. “He has gone to the ■ case with a friend, now.” “I am sorry for that,” I replied. “When j can I see him?” “If you step across to the case, I am ! sure he will be happy to come back and | attend to you.” I went to the case, and introduced myself to the hatter, who was enjoying a cup of coffee and a g? me of dominos. He asked me to allow him to finish the game, and after that, we returned to the shop together. At another time, in a littte Norman town, I broke the crystal of my watch, and repaired to M. Perrin’s shop, having heard that he was the best watchmaker in the place. The shop was closed, and a card pinned on the door bore the an- i nouncement: “M. and Mme. Perrin are out of town; thev will be back on Tuesday.” It was then Saturday, and M. Perrin evidently thought time to be of so little value that his customers could easily wait three days for him.— Exchange. She Was Paid and Rejected. At the time that Europeans were not very numerous in India, and such individuals as could not reconcile themselves to marrying the natives used to send a commission to England that a wife । should be transmitted them, a gentleman j of property in Bengal gave orders for his factor in England to send him a girl well educated, of good family, and with a tolerable share of personal charms, promising to make her his wife. The factor executed his commission to the best of his judgment, but when the lady arrived in India, by one of those accidents which, thou.h very frequent, cannot be accounted for, she failed in < aptivating the heart ; of her expected husband, who received [ her with a coldness almost bordering on aversion. The lady seemed scarcely to I notice it, for she was as little inspired as ; the gentleman. A few interviews con- | vinced them that they were not made for ! each other, and the lady prepared to em- i bark for home. In taking his leave of her the gentleman begged to in rust to her care a letter to his factor in London, who had consigned her to India. She undertook the charge, and when she arrived in town she was astonished to find that the letter to the factor inclosed another to herself lamenting the circumstances which prevented their union aid begging her acceptance of a present of fifteen hundred

| pounds as a compensation for the disap- | point meat his wayward fancy hud occai sioned her. As the lady cared nothing at i a'l for the man she w.is probably consoled for the trouble si e had taken. Paralyzed the Singer’s Voice. The practical jokes that actors play J upon one another seem without end. I There is hardly a comedian on the stage to-day who does not devote his leisure time occasionally to devising pranks for the discomfiture of his fellows, and it is only once in a while that some of these practic il jokes get into print. W. T. Carleton, who is now at the head of the Carleton Opera Company, tells a rather funny story of his experience as a member of the McCaull Opera Company about seven years ago. “I had been engaged by the Colonel to go to California to sing in ‘The Queen's Lace Handkerch ef,’ he said, ‘and to strengthen the part Alfred Collier had written for me, a very charming song, entitled ‘Woman, Sweet Woman.’ In order to introduce the song into the opera without dragging it in I had arranged a suitable speech dwelling upon the charms of the fair sex. We played Kansas City en route to San Francisco. Francis Wilson was the comedian of the company, and he had discovered in the propertyroom an immense cariacature of a fat woman. “Just as I was ending my touching speech with ‘Woman, sweet woman, what would we not peril for thy dear sake?’ Master Francis held up the hideous caricature in the wings and made ludicrous gesticulations to draw my attention to it. The'effect was to utterly paralyze my vocal powers for the time being, and after a hard struggle to control my laughter, I had to apologize to the audience and retire. I don't know what they thought of me, though.” ~~ ' ~~ i A Gruesome Bangle. Os all the hideous, uncanny objects the one that hangs in the window of a rubber j company in this city is the uncanniest and I most hideous, says a Boston paper. It is the preserved head of a South American | Indian. The bead is five centuries old and be- ; longed to an Indian chief named Huam- | brsa, who was killed during the war with । the Angaruna Indians, on the liver San- | tiago. The head was cut fiom the body j by its Brazilian captors, and, with conI summate art, all the bony matter was re- , moved from the interior, leaving nothing I but the flesh and skin. Then,by some long । lost process, it was embalmed; so per- ; feet is the work that all the features are preserved in their exact proportions, but so reduced in size that the whole head is not larger than a good-sized orange. Attached to the top of the head, and run through the upper lip, are long strands of । bright-colored hemp, used in carrying the head at the waist as a trophy, after the : fashion of the North American Ind ans, I Black silken hair, about eighteen inches : long, hangs down on either side, and the chin is adorned with a black imperial. Even the eyebrows and the short hairs within the nostrils are preserved. The curiosity is valued at $5,000, and will be presented to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. A Kiss in tin* Lett(‘f. A beau took a letter from hie pocket in order to read something from it to a fair cousin who sat by his side. “Ah! she mailed you a kiss,” the girl remarked. “Not that I know of,” was the fellow's reply. “Look here,” and she pointed to a crinkled place down at the corner of the sheet, such as a damp spot might have left. “Haven’t you learned the latest sentimental thing? A girl presses the paper to her lips, leaving a mark like that, and so incloses a kiss without writing a word of confession. That’s what Jennie did, and you, goose that you are, never noticed it.” The next thing the stationers will turn out may be ready-kissed paper, with a ! faint tint of red lips and a delicious scen'c of fragrant breath pertaining thereto. Art is ever quick to beat nature. —Clara Belle, in Philadelphia Press. Mothers-in-Law Always Welcome. Among the Piutes it is always the । father-in-law that makes the trouble. I Every married Piute is always glad of a ■ visit from his mother-in-law. He wel- ; comes her with his broadest grin. The 1 arrival of his mother-in-law gives him a double team, where before he had only one animal. He hails her appearance with delight, and, piling a jackass load of wood upon her willing old back, sends her into town with his wife (similarly picked) to peddle out the fuel and bring back to him a supply of money for his I favorite game of poker. The Piute father- ! in-law is of no use as a wood-packer, nor ! will he gather grass seeds orpine nuts. — | Virginia City Enterprise. Wanted a Way Station.

It will be in Latin, French and English. Anna C. Brackett,| who has been searching into the subject, says that previous to the time of Bichard 11. (1377I 1399) all the English women who rode at ! all rode like men. Bichard married Anna of Bohemia, the eldest daughter of Charles IV., Emperor of Germany, and it is to her that we owe the introduction of the side saddle. It is stated that she was deformed and, therefore, could not ride with ease on the usual saddle. Pio Pico, the last Mexican Governor of California, now nearly ninety years of ; age, is a pauper and has been notified to ' le ive his old homestead. Nothing remains , of the great wealth which this old man once possessed. It is said that the pawnbrokers of New ■ York sent $45,000 io Albany to defeat the ; bill reducing the rate of interest which they are now entitled to charge for their money-lending operations.

SLAVE SALES IN AFRICA. The Infamous Tralhc In Human I>4ngs at Villages in the Dark Continent. In the slave sheds, says the Century, all ages of both sexes are to be seen—mothers with their babes; young men and women; boys and girls, and even babies who cannot yet walk, and whose mothers have died of starvation, or perhaps been killed by the Lufembe. One seldom sees old men and old women; they are all killed in the raids; their marketable value being very small, no trouble is taken with them. Witnessing groups of these poor, helpless wretches, with their emaciated forms and sunken eyes, their faces a very picture of sadness, it is not difficult to perceive the intense grief that they are inwardly suffering; but they know too well it is of no use to appeal for sympathy to their merciless masters, who have been accustomed from childhood to witness acts of cruelty and brutality, so that to satisfy their insatiable greed they will commit themselves, or permit to be committed, any atrocity, however great. Even the pitiable sight of one of these slave-sheds does not hall represent the misery caused by this traffic —homes broken up, mothers separated from their babies, husbands from wives, and brothers from sisters. When last at Masankusa I saw a slave woman who had with her one child, whose starved little body was clutching to her shrunken breast. Iwas attracted by her sad face, which betokened great suffering. I asked her the cause of it. and she told me in a low, sobbing voice, the following tale: “I was living with my husband and three children in an inland village, a few miles from here. My husband was a hunter. Ten days ago the Lufembe attacked our settlement ; my husband defended himself, but was overpowered and s] eared to death, with several ol the other villagers. I was brought here with my three children, two o! whom have already been purchased by the traders. I shall never see then) any more. Perhaps they will kill them on the death of some chief, or, perhaps, kill them for food. My remaining child, you see, is ill, dying from starvation; they give us nothing to eat. lex pect even this one will be taken from me to-day, as the chief, fearing lest i should die and become a total loss, has offered it for a very small price. As for myself,” said she, “they will sei me to one of the neighboring tribes tc toil in the plantations, and win n 1 be come old and unfit for work 1 shall bf killed.” There were certainly 500 slaves ex posed for sale in this one village alone. Large canoes were constantly arriving from down river with merchandise o all kinds, with which they purehasec these slaves. A large trade is carried on between the Übangi and Lulungi rivers. The people inhabiting the mouth of the Übangi buy the Balok slaves at Masankusu and the othei markets. They then take them up the Übangi River and exchange them witl the natives there for ivory. These natives buy their slaves solely for food Having purchased slaves they feed them on ripe bananas, fish, and oil, am: when they get them into good condition they kill them Hundreds of the Balok slaves are taken up the river and dis posed of in this way each month. A great many other slaves are sold to tin large villages on the Congo, to supply victims for the execution ceremonies. Much life is lost in the capturing o! slaves, and during their captivity many succumb to starvation. Os the remainder, numbers are sold to become victims to cannibalism and human sacrifice ceremonies. There are few indeed who are allowed to live and prosper. Result of a Slight Misunderstamling. “Here!” exclaimed an irate young man entering a St. Paul headquarters for book agents, “take back the prospectus thou gavest and fork over mv $2.50.” “Why the excitement?’’ inquired the proprietor, “you are unduly agitated. What is wrong?” “Your instructions don’t work. 1 can’t ingratiate myself with the ladies oi the home circle according to youi rules.” “Explain yourself,” persisted the head center of the literary emporium. “It’s this way. J did just as you said to do at the first house. I came to—rang the bell and stood with hat oil awaiting an answer. A lady came tc the door and I said: “ ‘ls Mrs. (J. in?’ “ ‘I am Mrs. Q.,’ she replied. “ ‘Excuse me, madam,’ I said, ‘but I took you for her mother.’ ” “What did she do then?” “Slammed the door in my face.” “Os course she did. That is not what I told you to say at all.” “What was it?” “I told you to smile, and when a lady came to the door inquire, ‘ls Mrs. Q. in?’ If she said, ‘I am Mrs. Q., you were to reply in your sweetest accents: “ ‘Excuse me, madam, I desire to sec your mother.” First Class. There are some people who imagine that wealth entitles them to privileges not accorded to the general public, and exempts them from obligations and rules that others are disposed to obey. Money certainly buys us many privileges we would not otherwise enjoy, but it does not give its possessor the right to ride rough-shod over the community, or to neglect laws made for the comfort and protection of others. An incident which occurred on one ol our ocean steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to the purse-proud contemners of the rights of the majority. A family of unlimited wealth had secured the best accommodations the steamer afforded. The gentleman and his wife kept tiiemselves secluded the most of the time, but the children were allowed to run wild over the steamer until they became such intolerable nuisances that the captain was spoken to, and he gave the youngsters a severe reprimand. This roused the indignation of tho mother, who remarked to the captain that, as she paid first-class fare, she thought she was entitled to first-class privileges. “Madam,” said the captain, “firstclass fare means first-class conduct.” There was no further protest.

A woman who looked to weigh 400 pounds, but probably fell a little short of that figure, was descending from a Bleecker street car the other day, when a man, wno looked to weigh about seventy pounds, but might pull down a hu’ndred, sought to ascend. They met. They bumped. They gazed at each other in a cold way. Neither would retreat for the moment. Then the man’s natural gallantry was called in question, and he said: “Ah! I am in your way.” “I niu in yours, rather," she replied. “Oh, not at all. If I wasn’t so fat I could move quicker. I often envy you people who move about no lively.” And she looked into his face, saw that he was serious, and her efforts to str ke a girl’s gait as she moved to the curb provoked a platform passenger into saying: “That didn’t cost him a cent and did her a thousand dollars’ i.orth of good.” —New York Sun.

When the draw is to be opened the captain of the steam pontoon casts □ff the lines, gives a toot on the whistle, and sets tho propellers a-whirling, and hereupon half the bridge swings around fur enough to let the coming shin pass through.

KISSES. (.4 la Romeo and Juliet.) A prominent physician calls the kiss “ an elegant disseminator of disease.” He says, “ fever is spread by it, so are lung diseases.” He maintains that if the kissing custom were driven out of the land “it would save onetenth of one per cent, of human lives ” which are now sacrificed. Out upon the gnarled and sapless vagabond! Evidently kisses are not for such as he, and the old fox says the grapes are sour. Let him devote himself to making our women healthy and blooming that kisses may be kisses. This can surely be done by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription which is simply magical in curing diseases peculiar to females. After taking it for a reasonable length at time there will lie no more irregularity, backache, bearing-down sensations, nervotu prostration, general debility and kindred ailments. “Favorite Prescription” is an invigorating, restorative tonic and as a regulator and promoter of functional fiction at that critical period of change from girlhood to womanhood, it is a 1

The Power of th > Press. | “I don’t want that yo ing fellow to come around here any more,” her father gave out decisively. “All right, father. He is only a newspaper reporter, and ” “A reporter! Oh, well, in that case I don’t think it’s any use. In the first place it wouldn’t do anv good, and we’d only be having him coming down the chimney or through the window, so I guess we had better yield gracefully.” And the next evening she told him it was a pleasure to them both to acknowledge the great power of the press.
