Alnnit tho thno when deep sleep fa'lcth upon a mail, but not upon a woman, for Mrs. Arp's ears are always nwakc it seems to me. I felt a gentle dig in my sido from an elbow and a whispered voice said: "William, William, don't you hear that?" "What is it?' said I. Somebody fs in the front piazza," jdie said. "Don't you hear him rocking in tho rocking-chair?" And euro enough I did. The chair would rock awhile ami then stop and then rock again. "Is the gun loaded?" aid she. "They are robbers, but don't shoot. don't make a noise, can't you peep out of the window? Mercy on us, what do they want to rob us for? Maybe they come to steal one of tho children. Slip in the little room and see if Carl is in his bed. Don't stumble over a cha r, may be somebody is under the bed." The roeker took a start and I had an other dig in my side, "It is tho wind," said I. "No it is not," said she. "There is no wind, the window is uu and the curtain, don't move. They are robbers I tell you. Hadn't vou better give them some money and tell them to go?" "I haven't got any money," said I. "It's all gone." "Lord have mercy upon us," said she. "William, get your gun and be ready." "i gently slipped out of bed and tin toed to tho window and cautiously peeped out and there was the pointer puppy sitting straight up in my wife's rocking chair and ever and anon he would lean forward and backwards and put it in motion. I whispered to Mrs. Arp to come and see the four-legged robber, which she did, and in duo time all was calm and serene. Lat night there was another sensa tion iu the back piazza and it was sure enough feet this time for they made a racket on tho floor and moved around lively, and tho elbow digs in my sido came thick and fast. It took me a min ute to get fairlv awake and after list en - ening awhile I exclaimed in audible language, "goats, Carl's goats," and I gathered a broom and mauled 'em down the back steps. "I told you my dear," baid I, "that those goats would give us trouble, but I can stand it if you can. Mill Arp, n Atlanta ConMlutum. The "Moonshiner. " I can give no sufficient reason why the title "Moonshiner" has been con ferred on our wayward countryman who persistently evades the law, de ludes the exciseman, and bereaves the Treasury. It seems inexplaiuable. The moonlit glory of the semi-tropical night is not accessory to the offense. Its soft light, while bathing the Blue Ridge in beauty, can not penetrate the shad owed cliff or gloomy ravine, where the "still is "set up, ami if It be sup posed that the benign influence of the "harvest moon" allures the moonshiner, like the fairies, to live and work out of doorsbe it known that the Hyronie sentiment, "there's mischief in the moon," is true for him as for other peo ple. This mischief in the summer con fuses his chemistry, sours his "swect niash" and destroys the virtue of his highly popular product. It is inexcusa ble, perhaps, to dispel so pleasant and general a delusion, but there is nothing of moonshine In the make-up of the moonshiner. Not until "jocund morn stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top," does he begin to despoil the Gov ernment of ninety centd a gallon, excise tax on what that great economist, Mr. Kelly, calls his "corn brandy and ap ple whisky." They are a singular and interesting people, who defy the United States of America to collect a tax on spirits. They are out of chronological order. For twenty-one years the Ex cise Laws have been of force, and yet the patriotic red men who, with revo lutionary ardor emptied the tea in Bos ton harbor, were not more hostile to the Stamp tax, or tho tax on tea than the moonshiner to the revenue on his mountain dew. Atlanta Constitution. The Sage and the Mourners A Modern Fable. A Sage who was on his weary journey to Wisconsin, came upon a crowd one day and observed a general sadness in all faces: "Why this gloom?" queried the old man, as he laid down his bundle and felt for the front end of his plug of to bacco. " Oh, Sage, we mourn the death of a good man, was the reply. "Was he honored?" He was." " Sober, upright, charitable and given to peace?" " He was." " Who of you praised and encouraged him in life? asked the old man, as ho looked around him. A hush fell upon tho crowd, and no one replied. Praise that comes after death," whispered tho sago, "does not even cut down tho undertaker's bills. Better squander your time sawing wood for his widow." Moral: The widow will be expected to take in plain sewing to support her self. Detroit Free Press. A Libel on American Ladies. So it would seem that forty per cent, of the cigarettes sold in the United States are smoked by ladies. In Russia, I should imagine that tho percentage is even greater; while in France, tier many and Italy the percentage con sumed by the fair sex must bo consider able And why not? If men lind pleasure in tobacco why should women be arbitrarily excluded from tho enjoy ment of the same pleasure? When, many years ago, I was living in tho United States, tho young ladies at Wash ington were given to what they termed "dipping," a practice far more objec tionable than smoking. A dipping party consisted of a iiumbor of girls squatting on the ground round a bowl in which there was a thick mixture of snufl and water. This they used to put into their mouths with sticks and rub it on their teeth, the theory being that it whitened them; but this, of course, was a mere excuse for what was equivalent to chewing. London Iruth. Six months after marriage: "Weel, weel, Sandy, how d'ye like tho little leddy?" "Ah, weel, Alec, I'll nao deny tliMt "In1 1i;m lino ermvcivmlioti'il now- The Strange Fish an Athlete Could Sot Lift. " You look like a likely hefter," said an old. Maine fisherman in oil skins, who was unloading a doryful of mack erel at Deer Island, to a lusty young man In knickerbockers and a white flannel shirt. "Yes," replied the vouup: man. 'Tm called pretty strong in tho Skowhegan Athletic Llul)." " Did you ever lift much fish?" asked tho old fellow. " I never saw the fish I couldn't lift." The fisherman took out a clean ten- dollar bill and said: "I'm going on eighty-one years old next muster day, but 1 11 bet ten dollars even you can't lift lish that I can." "Where's your fish?" asked Skowhe- an-. " Well, I'll tell you. Here's a Hsb, and he poked among the mackerel, and pointed to a large, solid, skate-like fish in the bottom ofthe dory. "Let's see, it's about five foot up to the dock. I'll bet you the ten dollars you can't toss the tish up there." The Skowhegan athlete thul called upon, deposited ten dollars with the owner of the mackerel canning shop, who had joined the party, and went down the ladder into the boat, while the old fisherman climbed upon the dock to watch the feat. "Stand back there!" shouted the fish tosser, rolling up his sleeve. "This fish might hit you, old man, and knock some of the blow out of you." " Heave away," said the man in oil skins, tipping a wink at tho crowd in general. The young man now stepped into the dory, and polced away the tinkers (small mackerel) that were sliding about. Standing on the edge of the boat, ho stooped down, grasped tho skate-like fish and lifted, raising It about a foot. Then, uttering a yell, he staggered a moment and fell with a resounding splash into tho water, nearly capsizing the boat in accomplishing tho feat, which was received with shouts of laughter from the dock, the old fisherman fairly dancing a hornpipe on the rail. " What's the matter with you?" ht shouted, as tho unfortunate athlete scrambled into the dory again, swearing like a pirate. "Trying to upset the boat, are you?" "Who struck me? Some one gave me a knock on the neck just as I was lift ing." "Nonsense," said some one in the crowd. "You wasn't touched." "I'll take my oath I felt something hit me. If this is a skin game I want to know it." Bracing himself firmly in the boat he again grasped the fish in both hands and raised it three feet, and then fish, athlete and all went over backward among the tinkers. Man, fih, oars and bailers were mixed up fot a moment. At last tho Skowhegan lifter made a break for tho dock, and, once upon it, sank down on a pile of boards. He was as white as a sheet, and covered with scales from head to foot. 'Send for the apothecary," he gasp ed, as tho men crowded around. Why, what's the matter with'you?" "I've had a stroke," whispered the victim. "The minute I stooped to lift I felt it a-runnin' all over me. It's in our family, but I've got it bad," and here he rubbed his arms and legs. "It knocked me clean off my .feet," he added, "and my limbs felt like sticks. Send ;" but here a roar of laughter broke from the men, and one of them, seizing him by the arm, jerked him to his feet. "You're all right my lad; only next time don't go fooling around old Amos. He's a ham nut." "Here's yer money, sonny," said the old man, holding out the bill, "you've earned it." "What do I mean?" he continued. "Why, jest this: You haven't had a shock of paralysis. They'll knock a horse if you take em right. The athleto looked vacantly ahead, took back his money, and left amid the renewed laughter of the crowd. "tfo'll have a yarn to tell the Skow hegan folks," said the perpetrator of the joke, "but I hate to hear a man 'blow,' and-thought I'd take him down. Injured? No, sir-ee. He'll feel stiff for an hour or so, but it wont harm him. "What's the use of the shocks? Why, I reckon they kill fish with 'em or drive 'em off." The latter assumption is probably correct. The electric apparatus of the torpedo is its defense, and certainly is a good one. The eloctno organs may be compared, to some extent, to the vol taic pile, and consist of two series of layers of hexagonal cells, the interven ing spaces between the plates being filled with a trembling, jelly-like sub stance, so that each cell can be com pared to a Leyden jar. Each torpedo carries about four hundred and eighty of these batteries, the whole being equal in power to about fifteen Leyden jars, making 8,500 square Inches charged to the highest degree. The upper side of the fish is positive and tho lower nega tive, the shocks seemingly being entirely at the will of the strange electric' v - Cor. Ar. F. Sun. The Asiatic Floating Gardens. Among the most remarkable illustra tions of human energy are certainly the floating gardens of Kashmir in Eastern Asia, the more so that they are the work of an essentially indolent popula tion. For their creation an expanse of water about nino miles in circumfer ence has been utilized, on which mas ses of weeds, grasses and aquatic plants grow and become intertwined and en tangled. These form the soil, as it were,, on which cultivation is carried on. Divisions are made in them, they are cut level with the surface of the water and then banked ovor with river mud, Froperly prepared for tho pur pose this soil is sown with melons and cucumber plants, and a crop is raised which is unoqualed in any country in quantity and quality. These melons and cucumbers are sold in a good season at the rate of ten or twenty for two cents; in dear seasons they bring two conts apiece. Floating gardens in Mexico are upon much tho same plan,, but are usually devoted to the culture of flowers. Cor. N. Y. Times. Greenburg (Pa.) men shot a tramp for stealing potatoes from their field. Such coniltict Is tuber-root Jar any. Settled by Wire. A lady entered the office of a law firm on Montaguo street and consulted Mr. P., tho junior partner, as to how she should act in a difficulty. Sho had rented part of her house to Mr. W..who had cleared out, owing her $200 for rent. He had removed with the inten tion of going to Bridgeport, and his luruuuru was on the way to the boat, which was to leave shortly for the Con necticut town. Mr. P. immediately prepared the necessary papers and got an attachment. A clerk was dis patched to Vfvt York with directions to put tne attachment in the hands of the Sheriff at once and to search the river front for the furniture. The lady de parted, and Mr. P. awaited develop ments. An hour later Mr. W. entered the lawyer's office. He wore a non chalant air. Ho carried his hands in his pockets and a cigar in his mouth. "i unuerstanu," said he to Mr. 1., "that you are trying to seize my prop erty." " lou are the man, I suppose." Mr. P. answered, "who hired Mrs. Blank's house and quitted without paying the rent, and are removing your furniture to Connecticut?" That's about the size of it." Mr. W. said, "and I thought I would Just step in and ask whether you had got my property yot?" Then he laughed gaily, as one who had made a pleasant Joke. At tnai moment there came a ring at the telephone. Mr. P. lumped up and responded with the usual "Hello." " Who's that?" came back. "I-P ," was the answer, Mr. P. recognizing the voice of his clerk who had gone over the river with the attachment. " e ve hunted everywhere." came through the telephone, "and can't find the furniture." Mr. P. turned to Mr. WT. and said: "What aro you going to do about it?" " In the first place, Mr. W. replied, "I want to know whether you've got my furniture ha, ha!" "Toll the Sheriff," said Mr. P., with his Hps to the telephone, "to take the furniture off the boat and put it in a storehouse." "Hold, there," Mr. Wr. exclaimed, his tone of jubilant banter changed to one of genuine alarm; "I don't want the furniture taken off the boat" "Well, what shall we do?" Mr. P. said; "you hear my orders?" The telephone bell rang violently. Mr. P. put his ear to the funnel and heard these words delivered with great distinctness and emphasis: "I-tell-you- we - haven't-got-the-furniture-we-can't-find-it." "I don't care if the sheriff's fees are $50," Mr. P. shouted in return through the instrument; "the defendant has to foot the bill. Store tne furniture at once." "Look here, Mr. P.," tho defendant said in a tone of supplication, "what's the best I can do? The bell rang again furiously. Mr, P. put his ear to the tube and tho speaker said intones wmenjur. r. recog nized as those of a clerk in the sheriff s office: "Blank, blank you, what do you mean? Are you crazy P Don't you near? We haven t got the bank, blank furniture, and we don't know where it is." "Just so," replied Mr. P. "Do the best you can, and damage it as little as possible. J he defendant will have to stand the expenses." "Now don t be severe." Mr. W. said, almost in despair; "tell me what you demand," "Pay the full amount due," replied Mr. P., "and we'll throw off the costs and expenses." The bell rang again with louder tones than before. Mr. P. listened. The voice that last answered said: "I'll be blank blanked if I ever came across such stupidity Hold on and I'll spell i out to you.' And then carefully, letter by letter, the voice spelled out: "We haven't been able to find the furniture." The defendant by this time had got out his pocket book and was counting out the bills. When he had paid the $200 Mr. P. went to the telephone and called up the sheriff's office once more. "Now then, stupid, what's the mat ter?" was the reply. "Give the sheriff directions to let the furniture go," Mr. P. said. Then he sat down and wrote a re ceipt. The bell went off again liko mad. Mr. P. cooly placed his mouth to the telephone and said: "Say, tell the sheriff to lot the furniture go and send on his bill for his fees." Then Mr. P., with a smile on his face, listened for a reply. "Blank blank you, you thick-headed ass," came over the wiresinto Mr. P.'s ear, "we haven't got the property." Then Mr. W. quitted the office. Mr. P. rang up the sheriff's, and received a complimentary reply. Then it was Mr. P.'s turn. "While you were bel lowing over the wires," he said, "the defendant was by my side, and I had to make the proper answers to bring him to terms. Anything stupid or like an ass in that? Send ovor your bill, the suit's settled." Brooklyn Eagle. Prepared for an Emergency. Of late it has become a very common thing for newly married couples to ap ply for divorce before they have been married six months. The papers are full of such cases. In fact the early divorce threatens to become the proper caper. Some time ago a young gentleman was about to be married to a widow who had had several husbands at one time or another. They were talking about their approaching wedding when it occurred to him to remark that he proposed renting a pew in a fashiona ble church for their mutual accommo dation. " I think it would be a good idea U rent two pews, my dear." Why, darling, why should we rent two pews? We certainly will not need more than one." "That depends on circumstances. After we are married we will go off on a bridal trip of five or six weeks, won't we?" Yes, my love." Well, then, don't you see before we come back something may cause one of us to file suit for a divorce, and then if we had to sit in the same pew people might think wo were strange and ec centric, and accuse us of trifling with jMiL'rii.ty1-1"""! p'-U"""'1 "''""' The Deaf and Dumb. To be deaf it not necessarily and al ways to be dumb, and to make tho dumb speak is no longer a work which only miracle could accomplish. " I see a voice," says Bottom in the character of Pyramus; "now will I to tho chink to spy and I can hear my Thisbe's face" Hearing a face is not, so far as we know, a mode of perception yet realized, though the quick apprehensions of the blind through other senses seem to sug gest something liko tactual and audible vision. But seeing a voice is what al most any deaf person, trained suf ficiently soon and sufficiently well, can be taught to do. He may to all intcuts and purposes hear by the eye. He can read words by observing the motions of the lips, as he can read written or print ed signs; and as ho can imitate the lat ter by the hand, so he can roproduce the former by the tongue. Generations before the instruction of the deaf and dumb in oral speech was systematized, there had been remarkable instances of it, which were treated as miracles as sports and marvels of ingenuity to be wondered at, rather than as examples to be imitated. The case of the younger brother of the constable of Castile, where Sir Kenelm Digby saw when ho accompanied Charles I. (then Prince of Wales) to l pain Is well known, He was and had ben from birth so deaf that he could not hear if a gun were shot off close by his ear, and that he had been dumb un til he was taken in hand by an intelli gent and hospitable priest. "Ho would repeat after anybodie any hard word whatsoever, which the rrinco tried of ten, not only in English but by making some Welchman that servod his high ness speak words of their language, when it was so perfectly echoed that I confesse that I wondered more at that than at all tho rest, and the master him self would acknowledge that the rules of his art reached not to produce that effect with any certainty." Why it should be harder for a Spaniard to read Welsh words than English on the lips of a foreigner may seem a question of some difficulty. Sir Kenelm Digby had probably the feeling that Englisli, after all, is tho natural language of human beings, though he does say something about the guttural sounds of the Welsh tongue not being obvious in the motions of hps. He goes on to note that this young Spanish noblo "could converse currently in tho light, though they talked with whispers never so softly, and I have seen him at the distance of a large chamber's breadth say words after one that I, standing closo by tha speaker, could not hear a syllable of. But, if ho were in the dark, or if ono turned one's face out of his sight, ho was capable of nothing one said." It is a melancholy thing that this curious proof of what could be done for the deaf w as for generations rather viewed with barren wonder than as an example to be imitated. For a long time the harsh maxim, "Surdus natus mutus est, et plane indiseipliriabilis," ruled in law and social usage. hen the attempt was seriously made to instruct the deaf and dumb tho false track of finger speaking was entered upon, and until recently it has been followed. To teach them to read spoken sounds on the lips and to enunciate them, thus entering into the general intercourse of society, was deemed an impossible task in most cases and a barren feat in others. The mistake is now recognized. The con gress at Milan three years ago decided in favor of the purely oral system, and the members the of conference at Brus sels have chiefly had to consider tho methods of giving effect to it. London News. The Elephant Seal. Almost the first voyagers who sailed Into the then unknown seas surround ing the south pole took back to Europe stories about a gigantic seal much larger than the elephant, and, like that animal, furnished with a trunk. But the people had begun to doubt the sto ries of travelers, and consequently not much reliance was placed on these va rious accounts. When the real Robinson Crusoe, whose name was Alexandor Selkirk, was found on his island of Juan Fernandez and taken home to England, he also told about the giant seal, and gave such mi nute particulars concerning it that its existence was no longer doubted. Still, it was not until a century later, w hen the report of Captain Cook's voyages was publ'shed, that any real interest was manifested in the sea-elephant, or elephant seal. This report said that the oil and skin furnished by the animal were valuable, and that statement was hint enough fat one or two enterprising merchants. Without more ado they fitted out a few whaling ships, and sent them to the southern seas to procure the oil and skins of tho hapless creatures. Among these ships the trimmest and swiftest was the "Mary Ann." How many elephant-seals were slaugh tered by the crew of tho "Mary Ann" is not known; but it is recorded that, within twenty-five years of her visit to Georgia Island, there were killed on that island alone over one million two hundred thousand animals, or about one thousand every day during the season. How many millions were killed alto gether can never be known, but it is certain that the killing did not cease until the elephant-seal was almost ex terminated. It will interest you to know that two young elephant-seals are now to be seen in the Zoological Gar dens at Philadelphia. Tho j'oung sea-elephant is as big as a small man when it is born, and in eight days it will grow four foet longer and one hundred pounds heavier. That is pretty quick growth; but to reach a cir cumference of eighteen feet and a length of thirty feet in throe years, it has need to grow quickly. Penrose, in nis account of the elephant-seal, says that his sailors used to mount upon the backs of the animals as they were in the water, and race with each other, making tho animals swim by spurring them with their knives. This story is not precisely doubted, but It is not believed, either. The elephant seal always comes ashore, if possible, when about to die, which seems some what odd, when the water is the ele ment in which it is most at home. There it is surprisingly swift and agile, and, indeed, it is so comfortable there that it sleeps on tho rocking waves as quietly TEST YOUR BAMPOWDER TO-DAl!
