fIE HAD SEEN A LITTLE OF THE WORLD. And He Knew a Tlung or Two About AlWgators and Fishing. Dis yere s a mighty col’ climat’,” he paid, getting into a cross seat in an elevated train and piling up a bag, fishing basket and three bundles around him He, was short, stout and good-natured looking, and his face was as black as the , messenger of night. The one who sat opposite him was not so dark, and he wore a silk hat and a pair of aggressively yellow gloves. J “1 ain’wear no gloves sence las’ Del cember, he added, determined to start a conversation. But the other one looked reserved and made no reply. The first gpeakei looked at the yellow gloves with undisguised envy, and added: “Ain’ wear no gloves sence las’ December, ’case I ben down'to Savannah," and he paused to see the effect of the announcement. e ain got no caishan to wear gloves en Savannah,” he added, dwelling fondly on the “Savannah,” and the dignity of the owner of the yellow gloves unbent a little. “Ain’ et hot down en Geowgia dis yere time. Yo’ climat’ mecks me feel ‘lack malarial chills. I jess come back." The glory of the tanned gloves seemed to fade, for the man addressed drew his hnnds as far as possible up his sleeves “Wnat yo ben doin’ en Geowgia?” he asked, deciding to be neighborly. “I ben, en Savannah foh my health sence las’ December," was the reply in so loud a voice that everyone in the cir cniU hear it, and at this the gloves were thrust into overcoat pockets and the other man looked abashed, quite meek end respectful. “Foh de Lawd, yo’ should see de allevgatyures—great big black cusses. Dey jess swum en de canals. Dey mouths is lack a doh when dey open ’em'” Dey goin hurt envone when dey ketch’m?” asked the other excitedly. “Goin’ hurt yo’?” answered the traveler with pitying contempt. “Goin’ hurt yo? Dey ain’ nothin’ en dis world a alleygatyure lack so much es a culled man. °He lack’m, same es culled mens lack coons. Es yo’ git dem alleygatyures riled den nothin’ ain’ goin’ ter save yo’. He’s tail ain’ nothin’ but a saw, ’n’ when he sta’t foh yo’ he saw yo’ leg en two lack d t,”

and he snapped his fineer emnhatically. “No alleygatyure ain’ tack yo’, hes he?” “Yo’ tink i’m cra-a-azy, man? When I see one, I let ’em alone. I ain’ pickin’ no bubble with dem critters. I got too much sense foh dat. Es yo’ see eny alleygatyures yo’ jess cut ’n’ run.” The colored man from Savannah was by this time a hero in the eves of the other man, whose eyes rolled desperately in admiration of his new frind. The brigger, seeing the impression he had created, went on: “Es yo’ wan’ fish, Geowgia's de place. Fish—yo’don’ know -what fish is en dis country, i ketch ’em by de million," and his eyes took such a great roll that only the whites of them were visible for a full minute. “I never see sech fish,” he went on. “Yo" can’ ketch ’em with no chile s hook. Et fecks a hook I k dis yere,” and he pulled a big cat-fish hook from his overcoat pocket, while his companion looked at it in dumb amazement. The gentleman from Savannah continued his marvelous tales until the owner of the tinned gloves left the train, bowing with unfeigned respect to his new acquaintance, and going out with a humble, crestfallen air. Then the coal-black face broke into a broad smile, which circled the ebony from eartoear, showing two rows of dazzling teeth. This triumph so carried him away that he broke out with a great, jolly laugh, to the whole car: “No culled dude ain’ goin’t’ meek dis chile teck back-wata'. Es he don’ feel cocap! I b’en ova’ in Jersey, fishin’.” And he laughed until he was in danger of choking to death.— New York Tribune. Arabian Babies. Life has exceptional difficulties for the babies of Eastern nations, especially for those who are of sufficiently high rank to be brought up according to all the ancient customs of their race. The lady who tells her own story in the “Memoirs of an Arabian Princess” says that a royal baby’s first toilet, in Arabia, consists in winding a bandage nbout its body, after it has been bathed and perfumed. The little creature is then placed on its back, its arms and feet are straightened, and the entire body is swathed to the shoulders. In this pos tion it remains ' motionless for forty days, but the band- I age is removed twice a day that the child i may have a bath. The Arabs believe that j this process will make the body straight for life. Under such circumstance it ! seems fortunate that babyhood is not a period which can be remembered in after years, for no one would choose to suffer such days of misery again, even in recollection. If the child be a girl, on the seventh day after her birth, holes, usually six in number, are pricked in her ears, when she is two mouths old heavy gold rings are ! attached to them, so be worn throughout ’ her lifetime, except during periods of mourning for relatives. On the fortieth day the baby’s head is shaved, a ceremony which could, scarcely be performed m our own country, where thick hair is usually es a later growth, ’this operation is considered a very important one, and thirty or forty persons are witnesses of it, for the performance of certain rites. The disposal of the first hair is regarded as a very weighty matter; it must not be burned nor carelessly thrown away, but buried, thrown into the sea, or hidden in some crevice of a wall. The fortieth day marks a turning point in the child’s life. Heretofore it has only been seen by its parents, the slaves on duty and a few’ intimate friends of the family; now, however, it may be seen by anybody, and is regarded as fairly’ launched on the tide of existence. Several charms are attached to its body | for protection against the “evileye,” boys ! wearing them to a certain age, and girls still longer. The favorite charm consists of a gold or silver locket worn on a chain. The smallest children among the Arabians are strongly perfumed; everything they use, from their clothing to articles of the toilet, is covered at night with jasmine, and before it is used, fumigated with amber and musk, and sprinkled | with attar of roses. Played a Waltz at the Grave. Ar amusing story, which has the additionui merit of being literally true, as it is vouched for by the great composer, Strauss, is related of an old lady in Vien- I oa, whose greatest joy in life had always ■ been to listen to tne waltzes of Strauss | as played by his orches ra, and who or- I dained in her last will and testament 1 that a Strauss waltz should be played at । her funeral, for which each member i of the orchestra was to receive a ducat. : The heirs objected at first, on religious | grounds, to carry out this plan, but the provisions of the will were distinct, and could not be violated without endangering their own claims; so Strauss and his musicians were engaged and placed in a circle around the grave, and while the coffin was being lowered they played

Hei subjects, seeing her sorrow, sorrowed, too and when Easter day arrived were as con’ vinced as she was that a new era of her life was at hand. The Maundy’ Thursday ceremony never imied to win for her hearty adherents. She washed the feet of the beggars with such manifest zeal; spoke to them such Kindly, loving words; served them food as it she thought it a privilege to do so, and, at the close of the feast, cleared the table with a dexterity that showed her heart was in the work. Her splendid robes—-she always wore full court dress upon these occasions—seemed to enhance the touching humility of her attitude and, although the fieethinking part of the community scoffed at what they called the x opish mummery of the whole" affair that was not th3 feeling with which the bulk ot the population regarded it. One year, while she was serving at the table, a diamond fell from her head dress on to the plate of one of the beggars A dozen hands were stretched out to restore the jewel, but the Queen motioned to the man to keep it, remarking simply: “It has fallen to him by lot.” Her generosity was unbounded; it is not in her nature to say “no” to a beggar, while the one point upon which she made a firm st ind against her ministers was in insisting upon her right to exercise mercy’, and the hardest struggle she ever had with them was apropos of a pardon granted at the requestof Bistori.— Centleman's Journal.

Peasant’s Wit. New York and Boston, Chicago and St. Louis are not the only towns whose people have a habit of “poking fun” at each other’s people. The practice has been in existence, probably, as long as there have been neighboring towns and cities. The French “Revue des Traditions Populaires" relates a curious instance of this familiar practice in the good-natured ridicule which the people of Tournaisis, a village in the Belgian province of Hainault, have always had a habit ol heaping on the people of the neighboring villnge of Vezou. One summer evening—as the story told in Tournaisis goes—a citizen of Vezon, passing by the village fountain, saw a beautiful gold dish at the bottom of the deep bas n. “Good gracious!" ho said in amazement and delight. “I must have that dish!” But as it was quite beyond his reach, he was for ed to call in assistance. He summoned a few trusted friends, and they set to work to empty the fountain of its water. The stream from the spring ran in almost as fast as they baled the water out, but when the night was almost over they had emptied the basin. But when the water was gone, the poor fel- ’ lows were astonished to perceive that no | gold dish was there. What had become of it? They stood in amazement and perplex- [ ity. The water from the stream ran in । and in. and gathered in a little pool about i their feet. There was the gold dish again! Jean Dindon, the original discoverer of the dish, now looked at it with careful scrutiny. “Ah!” said he, “it is the moon!" And so it was. — Youth's Companion. The Rii!ing Passion Strong in Death. A messenger boy was making his way along a prominent business street humming to himself a slow air, when suddenly there was a warning cry. Men hurried into the middle of the" street, and before he knew it he was buried beneath a falling wall. Many saw the lad as the crash came, and willing hands set to work to rescue | him. In half an hour they had succeeded | in finding the boy, but he was unconscious | and never revived. i Half an hour after he had breathed his ; last he spoke up in a regular district ' messenger voice: “Well, I didn’t run, anyway.” They buried him deep. What to Get for Johnny. Mrs. Skinnphlint (holding up for Mr. Skinnphlint’s inspection a pair of Johnny’s trousers) —My de ir, these are the | best Johnny has. Don’t you think they | look a little too old and shabby to wear I to church with his good coat and vest? Mr. Skinnphlint (decidedly)—Yes, yes. They wouldn’t look well together at all. (Eagerly)—“lhen I may get him ” (Buttoning his pocket)—“You may get him his old coat and vest to wear to church with them.” Thfre is no doubt that fish, particu. larly those which inhabit fresh water, feel the cold, and that this accounts for their moving in winter to deep water, w’hen they have the opportunity of doing so. Some fish are much more affected than others by cold. Swainson mentions an instance of a number of fine tench having been found dead in a pond after the break-up of a frost; and, as a prool of vitality in other fish, he states that in northern latitudes eels and perch have ! retained their vitality when frozen intc | solid blocks of ice, "and that advantage i has been taken of the fact to remove them from one locality to another. A NEW method of ventilating railway carriages and preventing dust from entering with the air has lately appeared ir France. The more quickly the trail moves the more rapidly the apparatui works. The air is made to traverse are | ceptacle containing water, which cools i* I and relieves it of dust, after which ii ' goes through another filtering before entering the carriage.

Advantages or Te’egraphy. The reporter who has been an operator has a dec ded advantage in getting his copy to the office by telegraph. A year or two ago one who had a knowledge of telegraphy was sent to Dobbs Ferry late at night on an extremly important affair. He arrived there at 11 o’clock, had to drive a considerable distance from the station, and it was 1 a. m. when he returned to the depot. The last train had gone and the telegraph office closed a long time before. A watchman or track walker at the depot said that the operator lived a mile and a half away, that he was ill anyhow, and that there was no possibility ol sending anything by wire that night. \V hen the watchman had obligingly taken a walk up the track the writer tried the office window, found the catch rather loose, and with the thin blade of a pocketknife soon removed the fastening. To open the window, crawl in and connect the wires in the switchboard was the work of a moment. “N. Y. ” was called and raised, and the loop to the newspaper office asked for. Twelve hundred words were sent in before 2 o’clock, without copy, it being necessary’ for lack of time to compose the story as it was telegraphed on the key. This was done in the dark for fear the watchman would see a light and come back and shoot the Reporter for burglary. “O. K.” having been received the reporter went outside, closed the window and spent the remainder of the night gazing at the moon and throwing pebbles into the Hudson. — The Message. THE PROBLEM SOLVED.

Making a General. A Prussian officer serves five years to begin with as a lieutenant with his regiment, says Chatter. This gives him a working knowledge of the elementary duties of his profession. Then comes a three years training at the War Academy, the high school for officers founded in 1810, and finally placed in 1872 under the superintendence of the chief of the general staff. After studying tactics, military history, fortification and other military subjects, as well as geography, mathematics and i one or two modern languages, the young I officer is eligible for service on the great । general staff and for commands varying I in responsibility from that of a company ! to the command of an army corps. For ! officers of recognized capacity regimental I service alternates with employment on ■ the g< neral staff. A captain on the staff after four years’ work is transferred to a regiment, and a year or two later may be again selected for the staff as major. After a further tbrm of staff service he will get command of a battalion; then, perhaps, return to work on the staff, and afterward be promoted to the command of a regiment. From this post he may once more be selected forth* staff, to become eventually major general in command of a brigade. This is how generals are made in Germany. The La ly Next Door. Mrs. W. envied the lady next door because she always seemed so well and happy. “Sheenjoys life and I don't,” said the discontento 1 woman. “How I would like to change places with her!” At last she made the acquaintance of the object of her envy, and this is what the lady told her: “Happy? Os course I am. lor I enjoy perfect health. My dear Mrs. W.. your fuco telU me why you are not happy. You are suffering from functional derangements.

Neglected. , A bright little girl who attends a danc-ing-school in Boston had a trying experience two or three weeks ago. She is really a favorite with the children of the school, but when the little boys and girls marched in couples, or danced a quadrille, it happened again and again that she was left out. She waited patiently and hopefully, and each time she was disappointed. She felt that the situation justified a protest, and the conscience-stricken teacher agreed pith her when finally she stepped forward, and said, in a pathetic litle voice: “Please, Miss May. if there is any 1 ttle boy left over next time, may I have him?” Syrup of Figs, P oduced from the laxative and nutritious juice of California figs, combined with the medicinal virtues of plants known to bo most beneficial to the human system, nets gently on the kidneys, liver and bowels, effectually cleansing the system, dispelling cows and headaches, and curing habitual constipation. Satisfied with the Investment. An unfortunate young man of the name of Robert He .rd, living nt 3 otness, became enamored of a comely maiden who did not reciprocate his affection. Last week Robert met the cruel maiden, and in a moment of uncontrollable rapture put his i rms about her and ravished a kiss. The fair lint obdurate one lodged a formal complaint against Robert, and the young man was apprehended and tried for his misdemeanor. The magistrate, after bearing the pros and cons, sentenced Robert to six weeks at hard labor. As Robert walked off to prison he remarked proudly : “ Well, the kiss was worth it. ” — Fugene Field’s London letter. Protect the System from Malaria. It is possible to do this even in regions of country where miasma is most,rife, aud where the periodic fevers which it causes assume their most formidable types. The immense popularity of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is very largely attributable to the fact of its efficacy as a remedy for chills and fever, bilious remittents, and as a preventive of the various forms of malarial disease. In those portions of the Wert) and South where complaints of this nature prevail, an I in the tropics, it is particularly esteemed f< i the protective influence which it exerts, and i has been very widely adopted as a substitute for the dangerous and comparatively ineffective alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Physicians have not been among the last to concede its merits, and the emphatic professional indorsements which it has received have added to the reputation it has obtained at Home and abroad. Lieutenant von Babby, of the Twelfth Hussar Regiment, Germany, was riding with the troops in the neighborhood of Merseburg, when his horse took fright and bolted.

Petty Si indling. Human nature seldom shows its best side in city restaurants, and the tricks resorted to by customers who wish to secure a satisfactory meal at small expense are legion. Among the meanest of these tricksters is the man who gives a small order, and then pretends to have lost his check. The waiter, after searching in vain, gives him another; the customer walks up to the desk, pays his bill and exit with the duplicate check in his pocket. Some days after he comes back, takes a seat nt a long distance from *the cashier’s desk, orders an expensive meal with wine galore, enjoys it thoroughly, then quietly takes the small duplicate check out of his pocket and pays that at the cashier's des.k. 'I hie trick c-umot be worked iu all pl ces, nor can it be worked often in any, but once or twice a month the ingenious gent eman manages to get terrapin and champagne or some similar delicacies, for a quarter of a dollar.
