How He Put Her Under an Obligation. [Original.] Didn't 1 never tc.l y' how 1 got Sairy': No? Well, I tuk n heap o' pride in it at first. liut after awhile soa;e how It didn't Bcem that I was as cute as I 'thought I was. and as the years; have cone by sometimes I think I tuk li lot o' onuecessary trouble. Sairy was popular with everybody. J The women liked her belter "n the, men. and that's sayln' n good deal for a gal. She had a way o' humorin' poo pie, never runuin' up agin* their preju dices and all that sort o' thing. She never looked sour. On the contrary, her face wore a i>erpetual smile. They said she was cute. There was young men that was (lue lookin' who was ambitious to sit .Sairy, l but somehow she didn't seem to fancy . none on 'em. and so I argyed that If ; they wasn't line enough for her whatj was the use of a redheaded, freckled feller like me puttin' in a claim. Wc. was all about alike so far as worldly: goods was coucerued. none of us bavin'; anything to speak of. In fact we! was all nt an age when we was lookin' j out for good looks. That lielu' the case. 1 hadn't no show at all, for 1 was the ' homeliest young man In tiie town. Hut 1 got Salry. all the same, anil I'm a-goln' to tell you how I did It. 1 ?wasn't nobody's fool, you so?. If I was homely. The way I did it was by put- j tin' her under an obligation. One day : 1 said to her. "Miss Baker"?her name was Baker before 1 married her?"Miss . Baker, why don't y' git married?" "Mr. Tucker," she said, "there hain't no one for me to marry." "What's the matter with these tel- ; lers that's golu' wilh you?" I nsked. "Oh, none o" these young men ud marry me," she paid. "We've growed up together. People that grow up to- j gether don't do much marrylu". They're too used to each other. The men all go ( off and marry girls from somewhere else. None of "em here ud look at me." | Now, 1 kn<*wed belter than that. There was two on 'em dyln' for her. But I wasn't no Rich fool as to tell her. i If I did, where'd I come in? So I j didn't say nothln' but that I thought! she'd ought to git married; that she'd ] be happier married, and It would i>e ' better for her to have some one to j lean on when her father passed out. : Then Blie said maybe I could find her , a husband. This staggered me a little. ; considerin' I wanted her myself, but I ; said I'd try. Then she told me she'd like me to attend to the matter at ouct, seein' she was gittin' on. anil if I suc ceeded she'd consider me the dearest friend she ever had in her life. I saw the advantage o' puttin' her i under on obligation. But what good would It do me to put her under thatj kind of an obligation? It would be like tryin' to lift myself up in a basket ? Nevertheless I did it. and I've always ' considered It a case of real ouseltish ness. I found a widower nbout forty Eve years old who wanted some one to take care of his seven motherless chil dren. I told him about Sairy?how she'd like to get married and what a good stepmother she'd make. After awhile I succeeded in awakenln' an interest In his breast, and it ended in my taking him to see Salry. She was as polite to him as a basket o' chips, j 6eemin' to take to hiin from the start ! She cast a grateful glance at me, and j I knowed she appreciated what I'd ; done for her. I couldn't quite feel that I was act in' honest by her, for, as 1 was sayin', 1 knowed at least two fellers far bet- j ter matches than the widower that wanted her, and I'd orter gone to one on 'em and told him o' the chance. But somehtAv 1 couldn't I've never i been able to tell jist why I put up the j widower instead. 1 leave it to them ? fellers in colleges who study psychol- j ogy and that sort o' thing. Well, the widower called regular i once a mouth on Sairy. He was j wutchin' her to see if she'd make a good wife for himself aud a good ! mother to his children. Them widow- ( ers. bavin' had u lot o' experience, know jist what's required. From ob- i servatiou and what people said he , soon learned that Sairy was one of a thousand and j l the one he wanted, i One evening I went to see Sairy ta 1 find out how she was gittin' along with Hie widower. She told me she had a letter from him that day proposln' marriage, lie said owiu' to his family it must be a sort o' business affair. Sairy was the gratefulest girl you ever saw iu your life. She tuk hold o' my bony hand with freckles spottin' the back?hers was small and white and soft?and looked up into my eyes ?with sich an expression as I never see there before, and she said, said she: "This is the beautifulest thing you've done for me 1 ever heard of. You've put me under an everlastin' obligation. Here was 1 with no one to marry me. and you come along and jist lifted me out o' the slough o' despond. I'm so grateful that I want to do somethln' Teal nice to show you how grateful I am. Now, I want you to tell me some thin' you want me to do most of any thing. Sjeak right out and don't be afraid, no matter how onreasonable it leems." "There's nothin' you can do for me," 1 said kind o' melancholy-like. "Nothin" I can do for you? Isn't there somethln' you want me to do for you?" "Yes, there's somethln' I'd like you to do for me a heap, but that's out o' the question." "Tell me what It Is," she said, still holdin' on to my hand and givin' it a soft squeeze. "Well, I'd rather have you marry me >han the widower." She Jist sprung Into my arms.

In a eliapter on verbal infelicities the author of "Collections anil IJec pllections" relates an anecdote "con cerning Archbishop Trench, a man of singularly vague and dreamy hab its, who resigned the see of Dublin ion account of advancing years and settled in London. He went some time after to pay B visit to his successor, Lord Plun ket. Finding himself back again in his old palace, sitting at his old din ner table and gazing across it at his fold wife, he lapsed in memory to the days when he was master of the house and gently remarked to Mrs. [Trench: "I am afraid, my love, that we Eust put this cook down among our ilures." What the feelings of Lord and [Lady Plunket were on hearing this fcamment history does not relate. WHAT IS A MUMMY 7 A Chapter of Iitfc/rnali&t About Some Egyptian Ccitomc* When a member of an Egyptian family died all the relatives put on mourning and-ah. taintd from baths, wine and delicacics of all kinds from forty to sixty days, according to the rank of the person deceased. Death in one respec t put an end to all dis tinctions that had prevailed in life, and king and sla\e were subject to the name lav.-. The record of the life of the de ceased lied to be examined by a tribunal of forty-two judges befbre he could be given burial with his ancestors. If the deeds of his lii'o proved thc.t he was worthy of burial his body wns^carried across the sa cred hfke, of which each province had one, and was there permitted to rest, if the judges found him un worthy, even though he belonged to the highest rank, ho could not be buried with his ancestors. The body was returned to his relatives and was buried on the side of the lake opposite to the burial plage of the just. The belief of the Egyptians in a future state of existence gave rise to the practice of embalming the dead. They wished to carefully pre serve the body, so that the sold upon its return to its former abode at the end of all things might lind it ready for its reception. Bodies were em balmed in three different ways. The most expensive and magnificent method was used upon the bodies of kings and other persons of dis tinguished rank, the cost amount ing to a talent of silver, or S'>10. A number of persons were em ployed in the process of embalming, and they were treated with great re spect. They filled the cavities of the body with myrrh, cinnamon, spices and many kinds of sweet smelling drugs. After a certain time had elapsed the body was swathed in lawn fil lets, which were glued together with a kind of ?hin gum, and then crust ed over with costly perfumes. By this mode of embalming the shape of the body, the lineaments of the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes were preserved in their natural per fection. Bodies thus embalmed are what we now call Egyptian mum mies. WEIRD GHOST STORIES. K Persistent Dream That Brought t Murderer to Justice. In a certain town in the province of Minsk, west Russia, a peasant suddenly disappeared. He was last seen alive leaving the church and going home to his sister, with whom he lived. One day in a dream his sister saw her brother. He looked pale, his eyes were closed and his }>js were broken. lie told her that he had been murdered by her husband and his brothers. He mentioned the ex act date and place of the deed and added that his l>ody was put into a sack and thrown into the river. He wanted her to find his body and to liave it buried in the family grave. This dream was repeated several times, and at last the sister sought the advice of her aged father-in law. He told her that it would be difficult to-find the body, and if the culprits were brought to justice her children would be left orphans. So after consideration the sister gave the matter up. But her brother's spirit ttould not rest and appeared in a dream in the above manner to a friend of his. Sosn the news spread to the local authorities, who took the matter-up. The river was searched, and the body was found in the exact spot in dicated. This discovery had such an ef fect on the murderers that they at once confessed. They gave all the details of the crime?how after service they took liim to a mill where they all dined, and on leav ing for home they attacked their victim. Finding that the sack was too small, they cut off his legs, tied a stone to his neck and threw him in the river. The above is certified to be perfectly accurate by the local authorities. A Russian paper relates the fol lowing as having occurred in an offi cer's family at the time of the out break of cholera. The eldest son was in an office in a town nearly 200 miles from his home. One morning the family was vis iled by an undertaker, who said he had received orders from a person, whom he described, to make a coffin for their eldest son. The father re plied that the son was far away and that all the family were alive and well. Directly afterward a message came that the eldest son had died of cholera at the same time that his exact similitude had been seen by the undertaker. Fake Antiques.

By cinder we mean any minute particle of whatever nature which lodges in the eye, where it causes much pain and distress. In most cases when a foreign body gets into the eye it creates a little discomfort for a time, but is soon washed away by the tears with out doing any harm. Sometimes, especially when the particle has sharp corners to it, as is often the case with the fine cinders fro<u a locomotive which burns soft coal, the conjunctiva is cut and the body becomes firmly lodgwl in it, and all nature's simple efforts to remove'it are ineffectual. Man then tries to come to nature's assistance and often makes bad very much worse. The sufferer winks the eye, rubs it with his linger, perhaps inserts an eyestone and does whatever else he can think of to drive the particle deeper into the conjunctiva and ex cite inflammation. This inilamma tion causes swelling of the conjunc tiva immediately surrounding the offending particle, with the result that the foreign body becomes firm ly imbedded and can be removed only by the little needle or knife of the oculist, or else it loosens itself by exciting an ulceration of the cornea, and this ulceration, when healed, leaves behind it a minute white scar. Lucky is the man if this scar is at one side and not di rectly in front of the pupil. One who gets a cinder in the eye must first of all exercise self con trol. lie must not rub the eye. lie may take a glass of clean water, throw in a pinch of salt, then put the head down so that the eye is in the water and wink several times rapidly. If this does no good the particle can sometimes be dislodged by taking hold of the lashes and drawing the upper lid down over the lower and letting it Elide back into place. If the speck can be seen on look ing into the mirror it may often be removed by the tip of a cone made by folding the handkerchief several times. Sometimes a friend can see the speck by looking into the eye with a magnifying glass and can re move it by gently touching it with the handkerchief cone. This is all any one should at tempt, and if these gentle efforts fail to dislodge the cinder no time should be lost in seeking the help of a physician, who may take it away before inliainmation or ulceration comes {o complicate the accident.?

The streets and adjacent roads are paveil with small and curiously smooth cobble stones, and from the first it was found that runners were better than wheels both for speed and comfort For in stance, when you come to a bill the oxen draw your sled to the top and nre then unhitched. Your driver then proceeds to toboggau your conveyance gently down the other side, while the team trots on behind.

A City on the Precisely why the town of Bonifacio.

The eariy Corsicans apparently thought that farm land was worth more than city real estate and so crowded their dwellings to the dizzy edge o'f their 200 foot precipice.

ORIGIN OF TRADES UNIONS. f jurneyrr.sn Bakers Struck In New York as Early as 1741. The exact date of the origin of trades unions in America is un known. It is believed, says the re port of the Massachusetts bureau of statistics of labor, that there were no labor unions in the colonies, al though a strike of journeymen bakers' is said to have occurred in New York in 17-11. Whatever of associated effort there was among workmen at this early period was of a temporary nature, having a single purpose in view, and when this was accomplished whatever compact existed was then dissolved. It was then the custom to call a "general meeting" whenever a mat ter of trade importance presented itself. Such calls were generally signed by one or two men of recog nized influence in the trade, and the meetings were, as a rule, held in private homes. They were organized by the election of officers, a state ment was made of the purpose in calling the trade together, .and after i discussion resolutions were adopt ed embodying the views of those present on the question presented. When the meeting had decided what the attitude of the trade was to be ill those present, if willing to do so, signed an agreement to stand by Dne another during ' the difficulty. Many if not all of the strikes in colonial times were undertaken irith no more of an organization than this. The first real understanding, so far ns compositors were concerned, s said to have been in 177G, when :lie journeymen printers made a de mand for an increase of wage3, ivhicli was refused by their employ es, with the result that a strike was jailed. This proved successful, and :he association ended. Again, in 178G, an effort was made to reduce rageS to $5.83 1-3 ? week, and the :rade was again called together and i statement issued declaring that he signers would not work for less .han $6 a week. The great period of growth for cbor unions was in the latter part )f the sixties of the last century, >wing to the organization of great ?orporations and to the opening up )f the whole country to the work )f freemen. Local unions were jvcrywhere formed, vigorous labor ournals appeared, labor parties vere organized, in some places rep resentatives of labor were elected :o office, and many of the largest ind strongest national unions now ixisting were established.

Mammoth spring and Spring river. (Jrand gulf is the crowning wonder of the group. The shallow streams, about one-fourth of a mile distant from each other, flowing in the same direction over an elevated plateau, suddenly drop into canyons 500 feet deep. These two canyons form a junction half a mile below, where they strike a mountain lying directly across their path. This mountain has been tun neled by the action of the water, and the natural bridge thus formed is no" less a curiosity and almost equal in size to the famous Natural bridge of Virginia. After passing through this moun tain the united stream strikes an other mountain and tunnels :t for several hundred feet and then spreads out into an immense under ground lake, the area of which has never been ascertained. Many par ties' have entered the tunnel and picnics ha*e been held by torchlight on the margin of the lake, but still it remains a mystery. No light can exist long over the bosom of the lake, and notliinsr can bo heard save the faraway rumble of the waters as they rush on. This underground lake is a reser voir which supplies Mammoth spring, the largest spring in the world, with its (50,000 cubic feet of water a minute. The most surpris ing feature in connection with this extraordinary natural curiosity ? is J the fact that when these great can- I yons arc filled with water even to the arch of the natural bridge, hun- ! drcds of feet deep, the volume of i water in Mammoth spring is not in creased.
