One Way of Getting an Appetite.
This morning a dyspeptic look
ing man entered a blacksmith-shop
in Rondont. Ho waited until the
blacksmith pat a hot shoe to the
foot of a hoi se that was being shod,
when he bent down and drew in
with his nostrils several draughts
of smoke that at'osd from the burn
ing hoof. After tho man left the
shop a reporter of the Freeman
asked the blacksmith if the man
who had just taken his departure
was crazy.
"O, no," responded the black
smith, "he is only working np an
appetite. Strango as it may ap
pear (o you, yet the fact is true,
that the inhalation into the lungs
of smoke from a horse's hoof, when
it is being she'd, is the best appe
tizer in the world. That man you
6aw here will tioiV go ,home and
eat a good square meal. He came
into the shop without an appetite
"and went away hungry. I have on
an average five patients a day who
visit my shop for an appetizer.
One day not long ago they all
gathered about at ono time. It
was a funny sight to see them all
bending over to pot their nostrils
near the burning hoof and draw
in good hearty 'snifters.' If I
could bottle tho appetizer and get
a patent right on it I could make
a mint of money in a short
time. How does it affect my appe
tite? Go ask my wife, and she
will tell you that I eat more than
any man she ever saw. On extra
busy days, when I cannot go to
dinner, she sends it to me by two
children. Each one brings a well
filled pail. It is a rare occurrence
when a blacksmith who shoes
horses gets rich from the revenue
he derives from his trade. It is
almost impossible for him to do it.
Tho appetizer that is constantly
arising to his nostrils makes him
ravenously hungry, end the bulk
of his earnings goes to satisfy a
craving appetite." Kingston N.
Y.) Freeman.
Indian Sloucy.
. Not very long ago, writes Mrs.
F. A. Warner of Saginaw, Mich.,
I received from Washington Ter
ritory a box of real Indian money.
The lady who sent it to me says
that years ago her husband was
an Indian trader, and while among
the Alaska Indiana ha collected
this queer 'currency. The Indian
money, or "wampum," as the In
dians call it, is a rare seashell, an
iach or more in length, twice the
size around of a large knitting
needle, tapering, slightly bent,
and hollow. The value of each
piece to them was four cents I
have quite a bit more of this Indi
an money than I need1 for my one
collection, atld any one who would
like a pocket-piece of this kind of
money may have it and welcome
by sending a btauip for postage, j

Things Soldiers Carried.
"There were lots of funny things'
about the War," said Col. Freder
ick Martin of the Brooklyn Elevat
ed the other day, "now that you
think of them when the tears are1
dried away, and about the funniest
things I recall were the queer ar
ticles the boys ubod to pick up on
ihe march and the eccentric way
in which they'd tote 'em along to
finally adorn some ditch by the
wayside. Stragglers were the
worst at this, but all .the fallows'
were bad enough. Whenever the
army went through a first-family
residence the boys would capture
what struck eacll as most attract
ive, and some of their tastes were
peculiar. They had a great weak
ness for cradles. You may ask me;
what a D?an treading his way to
the front wan tod tIHl a mahoga
ny cradle, and I'm blest if I know,'
but they took 'em. First one mail
would back a cradle and cart it &
dozen miles; then he'd begin td
cuss and finally drop it
"Now, you'd suppose that an or
dinary idiot would just look at a
cradle as it lay id the road and
pass on, but they wouldn't Some'
one would be certain to pick it tip
and lug it a few mile? farther intd
the Confederacy.
"I recall one cradle that travel
ed 100 miles on blue backs before
it went to increase the blaze of a
mess fire. Somehow they seemed
to think vaguely that there was ,tf
chance of getting the infant sooth
er home, but they never succeeded.
"The funniest thing I ever Baw
carried -was a looking-glass higll
as jfoiir head and two feet wido
I saw it first in the parlor of a
Virginian mansion, and next on rf
soldier's back, headed for Peters
burg. Then I lost sight of it for
two days, and found it again prop
ped np against a tree forty miles
further along. The next day I saw
it on a straggler's back. He had
his gun in one hand, and had some
how strapped the glass so he could
get along without holding fast to'
it.
"Well this fellow must have got
tired, for the next day a third man
had it, and the next a fourth. Tikis'
chap toted it into the lines at Pe
tersburg. He set it up agains? a
tree, took a long, regretful look at
full length of his shabby self, and
turned away with a sigh.
"It was just as well that he did.'
The next minute alom? came a
minnie bullet, buzzing like a hor
net, and hit the glass square in the
centre, and smashed it into a frame"'
full cf cracks radiating front
around the hole.
"Tho heavier and tho more use-'
less thing3 were the more they
clung to them, even combining to
escort pianos into untiml graves
in mud -holes; but tho man who'
could steal a rocking-chair wds a
white-robed angel in his own
mind and the object of universal
envy.
"Another funny thing was to
have the siittler strike camp load
ed with condensed milk I've
seen a whole regiment sitting oa a'
fence, each man with a milk-can in
one hand, dipping oufcythe sweet
thick stiff with hid forefinger and
licking it off with an expression of
beatitude that would make a
Eaphaelite saint look sick in com

of evidence was given at the Cen
tral Criminal Court not long since
on trial of Emily Redstone for at
tempting to murder two little
children Arry siud Maude Weir
by throwing them into the" river
Thames, near Eew. Amy, the
elder, a bright, intelligent child;
aged 7 years, gave her evidence irf
a remarkably clear and artiest
manner. She stated that slie sunk
till she felt her feet touch the bot
tom, and that she then fell asleep'
till she found herself wrapped up"
in the boat house. There was no
pain beyond the first shock of t?f
water.'
