A Gerhax boy, not 4 years old, residing in Springfield, Ohio, regularly amokee from ten to twelve cigars daily and at one time was not satisfied with less than twenty. His father keeps a saloon, and the lad's tastes are mainly gratified by patrons of the bar. Thsbu were 9250 bales., of leaf tobacco erported from Cuba last year, against 119,350 bales in 1882. The cigars sent out numbered 96,600,000, 750,000 in excess of last year's exports. Thirteen million packages of cigarettes were shipped. 600,000 less than the preceding year. , Washington Star: Work has been commenced on Mr. Joaquin Miller's log cabin, on the lot recently purchased by him on the brow of the hill at the head of Sixteenth street The cabin will contain two apartments of convenient size. These will be lined with fur, and ifc is stated by the residents of the neighborhood that the Poet of the Sierras intends to mount a s buffed bear upon a persimmon tree in front of his door. The cabin is very picturesquely situated among some fin 3 oaks. . At Leeds, lately, Mr. Arthur Nicols delivered a lecture on "Snakes and Snake Charming,9 in which he gave an instance of the appearance of the sea serpent which occurred in his own experience. It turned out to be the body of a dead whale, around which were collected thousands of gulls and albatrosses, and which simulated the shape and form of a monster with a mane and long taiL It is a pity that every master of a vessel from which the sea serpent is aeon has not courage enough to steer eloeeto it, so that its real nature may be made evident.

Though there has been but one poet ennobled in England, there have been numbers of trades people. John Coventry, from whom the present Earl of Coventry is descended, was a mercer of liOndon, and Lord Mayor in 1425; Stephen Brown, agrocer,gave Viscount Montague to the peerage; the Capelst JBarls of Essex, are descended from a draper; Edward Osborner founder of the Dukes of Leeds, was a cloth worker ; irom William Craven, a tailor, sprang the Earl of Craven, just deceased; Lord Dudley and Ward is descended from William Ward, a working jeweler. Bepokts from State Auditors of the seven leading Western hog States have been recently published, giving the number of hegs returned for taxation this year and last. The reports are irom Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, TTttnttftg and Nebraska, showing a shortage of 658,138 hogs, as compared with last year. In all the States save Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, there was a decrease. It should be remembered, however, that these returns are made in March, and in most States only pigs ix montlts old and over are reported. Hence ncne of this years pigs are embraced in thtftc figures. Ike January Popular Science Month ty has an article from Herbert Spencer m "The Past and Future of ReligionHis point of view is that religion has been developed in past times, and is to be still further evolved in the -comings ages, and his problem has been to find the fundamental law 4f this progress. This is stated with clearness and power in the forthcoming paper, which wiTv finally be claimed as the final scientific position on the subject. The ground taken is that religion iajiot destined to pass away, but that it will be purified and exalted with the further evolution of human nature, of which it is an indestructible element

Farbceb Groesbbck, of Fishkill Plains, Kew York, thinking to play a joke on the village doctor, sent fohim in great haste. As the doctor's car. xiage wheeled into the farmer's yardf he asked hurriedly to be shown the patient. The joker led him to the

-poultry house and pointed out a goose with a broken leg. The doctor without a word immediately set the leg, left minute directions tot the cure of the fowl, and saying he would call again in the morning, stepped into his carriage and drove home. He kept up his attendance until the goose could walk as well as before the accident. In the meantime the farmer was having lots of fan telling his neighbors of the joke. But he ceased to smile when the doctor brought in a good round bill. At first the farmer refused to pay, but vhen legal proceedings were talked of ie compromised the ease to the doctor's satisfaction. Biowrrz is the Paris correspondent of the London Times. He is very giuoh made fun of by the papers generally, but he still maintains his pomposity with serenity. He recently had personal interview with the Saltan, cad this is how he describes Abdul 0-

slightly over middle

hight, slim and rather thin ; his complexion dark, his trimmed beard black short and thick; his mouth resolute and melancholy, his nose a Turkish one large, long and bony, his eye dark, frank and penetrating, looks of great depth when the light falls on it. His forehead is broad, of average hight, slightly furrowed; the black hair below the fez is short, almost close cut. Abdul Hamid is 41 years of age, but: looks older, chiefly from having lost one of his upper teeth. He speaks in a louder tone than Turks usually do; his voice is sonorous, his enunciation distinct, and his sentences are long, but without hesitation." New Yoke Herald : When the dancing was about to begin at Mr, Yanderbilt's reception. Tuesday night, an oddlooking man walked into the ball-room, carrying two chairs. His clothing was much the worse for wear, and he was thought by those of the guests who noticed him to be a waiter. But the house servants quickly saw that the man had no business there, and seized him. The stranger seemed dumbfounded. The chairs were taken from him, and he was handed over to Detective Eogers, of the Central office, who was on duty down stairs. The prisoner was arraigned in the Toombs Police Court. He described himelf as John "W illiams, of NoM7- West Eleventh street, but the name and address are supposed to be fictitious. The detective said he had no complaint to make against Williams, who seemed to be more of a simpleminded crank than a bold thief. Justice White discharged him. To Clerk McAfee Williams said : "I stood for hours on the sidewalk watching the dancing lights inside. I heard the soft music and saw the glarm of rarest jewels, and yet I did not long to enter. But suddenly a curtain was for a moment pulled aside, and the glimpse I caught of a bed of roses made me wild to get near them. I love flowers. I went to the door it was open. I could smell the roses so plainly that, taking advantage of the absence of the doorman, I slipped in, and picking up the two chairs, so they would think I was a servant, I went up stairs. I did not want to steal,

but I did want to see the magnificent

display of flowers. What I saw more

than repaid me for the scrape I got into,

but I won't do it again." The resignation of United States Judge McCvary because he can earn

more money, live more comfortably, and

generally get along better in the world as attorney for a railroad corporation

than as a member of the National judiciary, is suggestive, says the Chicago

News. Certainly if any class of public servants ought to be well paid it is the judges who maintain the honor and integrity of our National courts, and who have for so long executed that duty with such remarkable fidelity that at this day the bench of the United States ranis second to none in the world. But if their remuneration is to be so small that they are liable to be drawn off to serve private interests, what guaranty is there that the best men will be secured for the positions; or, rather, what is there to insure us against a gradual and steady lowering of the judicial caliber until the United States judges rank below county court judges'of the frontier communities? Of course no one wants to see the judges so highly salaried that they may literally as well as figuratively go about clad in ermine. But what is clearly the duty of the National government is to fix their salaries at a figure that shall be in some measure commensurate to the income that men of their standing at the bar may reasonably calculate upon. It must be assured that before a man arrives at the distinction of a National judicial appointment he has made a reputation for sterling worth and deep knowledge of law. It is not fair to ask such a man, who may have, and generally has, family ties, to retire from practice and abandon all hope of acquiring enough property to endow his children, merely that he may have the honor of serving his country. Let the matter be remembered.

Stonewall's Bridie-Builder. A useful man to Stonewall Jackson was old Miles, the Virginia bridgebuilder. The bridges were swept away so often by floods or burned by the enemy, that Miles was as necessary to tho confederate army as Jackson himself. One day the Union troops had retreated, and burned a bridge across the Shenandoah. Jackson, determined to follow them, summoned Miles. "You must put your men on that bridge," and said he, "they must work all night and the bridge must be completed by daylight. My engineer shall furnish you with the plan, and you can go right ahead." Early next morning, Jackson, in a very doubtful frame of mind, met the old bridge-builder. "Well", said the general, "did the engineer give you the plan for the bridge?" "General," returned Miles, slowly, "the bridge is done. I don't know whether the picter is or not." Old hoop-skirts are now being utilized as springs for dollar prize watches, It is on the whole cheaper not to do wrong than to dfi it and afterward repent it.

EQUITATION. Some Hints on HoroebarJc Kidlnff 13 is now generally understood among good riders that, owing to thcv difference in build, all men cannot rid in exactly the same form; that sach man has a seat peculiar to himself, and that that seat is his best for any purpose, whether he be a cross-country or ax Dad rider. The rider's aim should be to make 'himself a part of the animal he bestrides, by conforming t his movements and thereby assist in maintaining the natural equilibrium o:i his holy. Anything approaching exaggeration should be avoided. For example, rising to trot is a good thing, if properly done; in fact, one cannot ride very far or very fast without it ; but why it is carried to the ridiculous extreme Ikat it sometimes is, is difficult to uiderfitt.ud, unless those who adopt it acts upon the principle that if a little rise is a good tlrfbg a good deal is better This lofty style, supposed to be English, is much caricatured in the country by the doubtful class of young men known as "dudes," who notbeiug prop eriy ballasted, are ready to rise to anything that will make them conspicuous

In ridinsr after this method the would--

be horseman, seated oh the cant.e of hi saddle, with knees nearly on a .levl with the pommel, springs into the air with each second impulse of the gait with a spasmodic effort, to return cgain in due season with a bump that would

cause a rattling in his "brain ho c," if there were anything there to rattle. This style of rider has been aptlr described as a "walking beam on horseback, between whom and the fxldp pt eps of the distant landscape c Dines transiently at tantalizing intervals n The saddle has much to do with determining what position on'j shall assume on horse-back, hence the inporta:ace of having it properly constr ictec. and adjusted. Supposing the suldlo to be one that will allow you to sit in u natural, easy position, then shake yourself down into it, place your thigis in the position whh;h gives you the firmest hold on your horse's sides and adjust your stirrups at that length. Beir in mind that the seat on horseback is maintained by balance and friction and you must combine the two in such a manner as not to make the effort fatiguing if you would sit securely and well. While as much of the thigh is to b9 brought in contact with the caddie ao possible, the leg below the knee should be altogether out of contact and f::ee to move as the rider finds necessary. Learn to balance the upper part cf the body on tho hips, in the varying movements of the horse, without disturbing the position of the thighs or depending in the slightest degree on the rem. It is well to practice on some old horse that can't be spoiled, using a snaffle until you feel qiite at home in the saddle and can handle the reins with delicacy. If your stirrups are too short or too far forward you will find yourself tugging at the reins whenever your horse makes an unexpected movement. These defects should b corrected, for a rough handling of the bit soon spoils the horse's .mouth, and once he becomes a puller there is an end to all pleasure in riding him. Very few horses can be ridden satisfactorily without a curb-bit, and this requires more delicate handling still than the snaffle. A very good vay to hold the reins in riding the trained horse is to pass the little finger of the left hand between the curb-reins and the middle finger between the unafllereins, the ends passing up ovsr the thumb when the hand is closed. While training the horse, carry the cnrb-ieins in the left hand and the snafffa-reins in the right, divided by the w idth of the hand. Teach your horse to turn from the pressure of the curb-rein against his neck, accompanying it at first with the customary pull of the snaffle on the side toward which you wish to turn. Collect your horse before reaching the point you wish to turn, and apply the left leg in taming to the right and the right in turning to the left. Teach your horse to walk rapidly; it is a gait that always ;tells" and can bo continued a long time without great fatigue. "The walk is the gallop of always," say the Arab?;, and there is much truth in the saying. A good way to teach a horse to take a quick, long step is to touch him with the left spur, after he has become accustomed to it, as explained in former articles, just after he lifts his rigiit forefoot, and with the right spur when he lifts his loft fore foot. This will make him pick up his hind feet quickly and reach well forward before he plants .them.

Finally, give the boys a chence to become fearless riders. Youth is the time when physical habits are formed, and when one has been accustomed to use the saddle from boyhood, equestrianism is a part of his nature, nnd he never feels more at home than when on horseback. The hope of the saddlehorse is in the rising generatiDn. If the practice is delayed until we are forced into it as a cure for dyspepsia or consumption, and the saddle ccmes to be regarded as a sort of hospital the last resort of a decaying race it will certainly not fill its proper placo in our social economy. If the bovs would ride more there would be less consumption and dyspepsia to cure. This is a pleasant prophylactic, for ;he boy takes to the horse instinctively. The taste has been handed down to him from a horse-loving : ancestry.. He will have some hobby, and why' not let him ride honestly? Give hin every chance to acquire the manly art of equitation. He will be a hardier am i braver man. and will have one accompl shment which will prove a joy to him through life. Philadelphia Press. It (jalns hy Travel.

To make starch for linen or cotton, stir one ounce of the best starch into just enough cold soft water to make a thick paste, carefully breaking all the lumps. Add about a pint of boiling waser,a little bluing ind a good sized

When not stirring, cover to protect from dust, and when removed from the fire cover to prevent a scum from rising. Every bread maker has observed that the temperature at which her dough is kept while rising has a decided influence upon its quality. If it is kept warm, so that the process of fermenta

tion goes on rapidly, the bread will be i

whiter and tenderer than if it is allowed to rise in a low temperature. The little yeast plant with a long name flourishes best at a temperature of 72 and when it has abundance of sugar to

dough the plant converts the starch of the grain into sugar and feeds upon it.

A Mormon Orphan. On the streets of Salt Lake, a benevolent looking old gentleman from Boston came up to a young boy o! fourteen, who was crying hard enough to crack his wind-pipe; he was very shabbily dressed, bare-footed and alone, with the faintest trace of a last weeks bath just visible on his neck and arm. "Why are you crying, my little boy?" asked the man. "'Cause dad's dead" answered the bov. "That's too bad. When did he die?" "Two months ago." "Two months ago! Why, that is a long time; you ought not to be crying now. You must have been very fond of your father?" "Well, no, can't say that I was, but you see he was the only one I ever had." "That's so, but you have a mother, have you not?" "No, they're dead too." "They? " "Yes, you see," said the boy between his sobs, "we were all Mormons, living down in Southern Utah, where dad was a bishop, and, of course, had five wives. Well, each one of them had a boy baby about the same age, and they were all named Brighani 99 "In't it strange to name them all alike?" "Thev alwavs name the first rue Brigham, if it is a boy, and," said he, "when we were about four years old, dad used to drive the little flock of Brighams down to the firm, and make us weed carrots. The farm was two miles from town, and one day, when we were alone, a band of Indians kidnaped the whole five of us, and took us away down into Arizona. The other boys got sick and all died, but they kept me with them five years, before I could escape, which, finally, I did, and got back home. Well, when I got back, I didn't know my mother, or even her number, aud she didn't know mo ; and they all claimed me as their little lost Brigham. So they had to draw cuts to see which should Lave me; and I was hers till she died then the next, and so on. My first mother died a year after I got home ; then I became the son of mother number two. She apostatized, ran away and married a gentile; and was killed in a railroad collision. I lived with this mother a year-and-a-half. The third mother got hooked to death by a cow, six mouths after she had me. The .fourth oue died when I was thirteen, and my last mother got drowned six months ago. And now dad's dead. I tell you what's the matter, mister, they don't know what real sorrow is, till they've been an orphan, like me, six times. "That's so said the Boston man, as he wiped the dew from his "glasses" and handed the boy a " bogut " dime. Peck's Sun.

Her First Poem. Miss Karolaway sent her first poetical effort in fact, her first literary attempt to a paper published in her own citv. It is needless to sav she was 4quite gratified at seeing her poem appear soon after. While desirous that the fact of her writing it should not be known, Miss K. longed to know what might m thought of her poem by an unprejudiced reader. "By-the-way," she said to a friend who happened in one morning, "I've been sort of inter ested in this little poem that came out in the Journal a dav or two ago; it's by , ." "Oh, IVe read lots of her things," said the second young lady, who had a dread of ftoeniing not posted "lots and lota oi? them. She writes stacks, you know." Miss K. thought it needles to continue in so unprofitable a quarter.
