Washington County the other day and went
for the proprietor with :
"Mr. B— — , 1 bought six pounds of sugar
here last week and when 1 got it home I
found a stone weighing two pounds in the
package."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Can yon explain the swindle, sir?"
"I think I can," was the proprietor's
placid reply. "When I weighed your eight
pounds of butter week before last I found a
two-pound pebble in the jar and when I
weighed your sugar the stone must have
slipped into the scales somehow. We are
both growing old, ma'am, and 1 am sorry to
say that our eyesight isn't to be trusted.
What can I do for you to-day, ma'am?"
For a moment the woman gazed at the

Then she recollected herself and remarked
that she had a dozen eggs which she wished

The House Likely to Agree to

Monthly Purchases of Four and a Half

The National Election and Wyoming Ad

Lively Debates.
Special Dispatches to The Morning Call.
New York, June 22.— A press Washing
ton special says: The House Committee on
Coinage will be likely to recomnfend a bill
limiting the purchase of silver to 4,500,000
ounces monthly, the whole to he the prod
uct of American mines. The buying of such
an amount would, it is believed, insure the
acceptance by the Treasury Departmant of
nearly ail the bullion produced in the coun
try. This provision, limited-coinage men
say, ought to satisfy Colorado, Nevada,
California and other Pacific Slope advo
cates of free coinage. According to the
terms of the proposed compromise.
Treasury notes will be made
legal tender, redeemable in coin, but the
Secretary of the Treasury will not be per
mitted to exercise his discretion in the re
demption of silver. The bill, it is con
fidently predicted, will be passed by the
House. In case the Senate does not concur,
a joint conference committee can be de
pended upon to reach a settlement
Chairman Conger will call the Committee
on Coinage together to-morrow. Before the
end of the mouth it is expected the House
will pass the Limited Coinage Bill.
TARIFF REVISION.

Probable Eff cts of Proposed Legislation Upon
Castrm" Receipts
Washington*, June 22.— Statements of
the effects upon customs receipts by the
provisions of the Tariff Bill, as reported by
the Senate Finance Committee, have been
completed. These show that the amount of
duties collected in 18*9 upon the importa
tion of all articles made dutiable in the
House bill and amendments proposed by
the Senate assessed tinder existing laws
was 1161,408,846. The duties estimated
under the House bill amounted to £206,249,
--977; under the bill amended by the Senate,
5201.659.907. The equivalent advalorem
rate under the House bill is 60.80 per cent;
under the Senate bill 51.97 per cent. The
reduction of revenue by Hie transfer of
articles to the free list in the House bill
(including 810.327,878 reduction of Internal
revenue taxes stric.en out by the Senate
Finance Committee) Is estimated at $71,064,
--774; by the transfer of articles on the free
list in the Senate bill the reduction in
revenue is estimated at 500,599,343. •
A foot-note to the recapitulation says:
"These tables are prepared upon the plan
and theory usually followed. The esti
mates are largely conjectural and more or
less unreliable ami misleading: they are
based upon the assumption that if the bill
should become a law, merchandise of like
quantity and values would be Imported as
was imported during the fiscal year 1889,
This basis can only be accepted as reliable
where changes in rates are not of such a
character as to necessarily increase or
diminish importations. The reductions
above given of $71,031,774 by the House bill
and 860,590,343 by the Senate bill appear to
be certain, but if the imports should be the
same as last year under the new rates the
reduction would amount uuder the House
bill to 826,128,042, and under the Senate bill
to $20,318,283."

COKED OF STEALING KISSES.
A Sort of Kleptomania That Is Likely to
Lead lo Serious Keiultn.
A good joke is being told on a well
known young Main-street man. Ho is
a great society man. He is handsome,
polished and something .of a dandy.
He is quite good looking, and a pair
of glasses balanced on bis aristocratic
nose give him an intelligent air that ho
would not otherwise possess. For a year
or so he has been devoted to a well-known
young society woman. Not a week has ever
passed that he has not been at least twice
to see her. About a month ago be proposed
and was accepted. About two weeks: ago
the engagement was broken, only to be
patched up again shortly afterward.
■ The cause of the engagement being
broken was that the young man made his
accustomed visit. He was shown into the
parlor. While sitting there he heard his
betrothed coming down the stairs. He
stepped to the door, and as she passed the
door he leaped out and printed a ; kiss
upon her lips. A faint scream above
startled him. He looked up and saw
his sweetheart at the head of the stairs. He
looked down and - saw that he had the
housemaid in his arms. He tried to explain
matters, but his sweetheart would not have
it, and the engagement was broken. She
afterward accepted his explanation and re
instated him. .rt-rt'^
. This experience would have cured most
people, but it did not cure him. A few
nights ago he called again and entered the
parlor. There was no light in the hall
in the parlor. In a short time he heard his
girl coming down the step*. He stepped
out into the hail, and as she reached the
bottom of the stairs he inclosed her in
his arms and imprinted a long lingering
kiss upon her ruby lips. Releasing her
be struck a match and lit the gas,
then turning to snatch a kiss he was horri
fied to see before him the black conk. He
gave her 81 not to say anything about it,
but it was too good to keep and she told it.
It passed from one person to another until
it was known to all his friends and bis life
is anything but a happy one. He says t.iat
the second experience cured him of stealing
kisses.— Louisville Commercial.

A QI'ELK SALOON.
A Hummer Take* a liaiik for a Gin
l'alace.
An incident of last fall's campaign is
altogether too good to keep. It took place
in a New Brunswick bank, whose officers
were so enthusiastic that they had a hue
big picture of a candidate supposed to be
friendly to the liquor interests pinned to
the wall.
One morning a dilapidated specimen of
humanity unsteadily edged his way through
the passage and brought up at the counter.
The teller's sharp eye caught him instantly.
"Here, what are you doing there?" he
shouted. "What do you want?"
The unsteady man slated at the teller va
cantly for a moment, then, after much
fumbling in Ills pockets, produced a nickel,
which he shoved carefully upon the coun
ter and said in a confidential ':.'■:
"Gimme (.hie; glass o' beer."
"Beer!" shouted the teller. "What do
you menu? We don't sell beer here."
. The man looked at him in mute astonish
ment. Then he gazed around the room.
Finally his eye caught the picture of the
so-called liquor candidate. By a magnifi
cent effort he straightened up, and with a
line burst of indignation and a gesture
worthy of a Cicero, roared at the astounded
teller:
"Then why (hie) in blazes, sir, don't you
take your sign down?"
Before the teller could collect his scat
terd senses his visitor, by holding to the
railing, had stalked majestically out of the
bank.— N. Y. Sun.
A NEW PHONOGRAPH.
This One 11,,,.,, Away With the Metallic
Voice Hound.
Two of the principal objections which
have been urged against the phonograph
and other talking instruments with which
the public have become tolerably familiar
are the metallic quality of the voice repro
duced and the necessity of using hearing
tubes arising from the poor volume of there
production. Lieutenant Bettini claims that
in his niicrograpbuphone these difficulties
have now been overcome by the employ
ment of several diaphragms instead of the
one diaphragm in tin: usual instrument. It
is ' said - that the reproduction of the
human voice is singularly clear and
free from any harshness or metal
lic sound. By the use of a non-me
tallic trumpet the sounds are still further

Special Dispatches to The Morning Call.
a won* a (Cal.), June 22.— A report from
Mariposa says: Two Indians, Wilson and
Charlie, supposed to be the murderers of
the Indian, Bullock, murdered near here
June 19th, were arrested by Sheriff Turner
this morning near beie. The Indian Char
lie admits being one of the parties, and also
states that were Bullock alive he would do
the same thing again. Indian Bullock
was supposed to be a great medicine man.
Several weeks ago he was called away to
doctor, one of the chiefs who had the grippe.
The chief died, and as it is the custom when
medicine men let their patients die to kill
them, Indians Charlie and Wilson took it
upon themselves to kill Bullock. They took
with them two more Indians, and, from the
appearances of the wounds, they all laid in
wait and all shot at the same time. Bullock
was buried here to-day in regular Indian
style. All of his possessions were put in
the grave and buried with him. A. great
many tourists here attended the funeral. -
JESDOR HEARD FROM.
He Succeeds In Obtaining a Marriage
License.
Los Angeles, June Among the mar
riage licenses issued here yesterday was one
to Henry J. Esdor of San Francisco, 40
years old, and Carrie E. nenrice, 14 years
old, whose residence was given as "city."
Immediately after the license was granted
the parties disappeared, and It is not
known whether they have been married or
not. When the parties applied for a license
the disparity in their ages caused some com
ment, but as the papers appeared to be
straight, no special attention was paid until
the arrival of the San Francisco newspapers
on Friday, in which it was stated that a
warrant was out for Esdor for enticing
Carrie Hcnrice from her home in San Fran

some further developments.

DIGGER INDIAN MOURNING.
Bereft Husbands Smeared In Coal-Tar as
a Token of (Irief.
I once witnessed the funeral of a Digger
Indian squaw. On the third afternoon after
her death the.preparations' wore made for
it. ,Tlio women brought dry, resinous
woods and placed them in the form of a
pyramid, and under them were dry branches
and pine knots.
When all was ready they brought the
body, wrapped in her best clothes, and laid
it on top. Then all her little trinkets and
her work-basket and home utensils for
weaving were laid beside her, and her last
baby basket laial on her breast, which she
had woven herself, hoping soon to need it,
for these women certainly love their little
ones and rejoice in their motherhood. It is
all they have worth living for.
At sundown the disconsolate widower
was brought forward, mid he was so drunk
that he could hardly gel to the place where
he was to sit. Coal-tar was smeared on his
face and in I. ls hair. This is their mourn
ing garb— a coat of coal-tar.
- Then the fire was lighted anil the women
raised a sort of walling chant in which the
men joined occasionally, and the body
slowly consumed, the fire being fed by
fresh pine knots all the while. -J.

PALISADE MOUNTAIN.
Discovery of a Curious Work by
Sun-Worshipers.
Stone Roadway Leading to a Summit Over
Twelve Hundred Feet Above a Valley
in Sonora, Mexico.
Charles J. Wimple, one of the wealthiest
miners of Mexico, is a recent arrival in the
city and is stopping at the Palace. To a
representative of The Call lie told the fol
lowing wonderful story last night:
"You have asked me to give an account
of the interesting mountain my friend,
Jesse D. Grant, and myself saw during our
trip through Mexico en route to this city.
Well, that mountain is at once one of the
most gigantic exhibitions of man's handi
work, and something almost beyond cre
dence were we rot already familiar with
the works of the Aztecs.
"Just imagine a valley forty by thirty
miles In area, and from its center rising
a mound over 1200 feet in height. Then
you can realize the first effect created upon
our minds when we came before the hill I
am to describe. My foreman was with us,
and had partly prepared us I or the surprise,
but we had treated his story with incredu
lous remarks, and bad by no means sus
pected he had but given a modest descrip
tion of the mound.
"We gazed to the top and allowed our
eyes to follow the windings of a road down
to the base. We went around the base and
conjectured it was about oue and a half
miles in circumference. Then we started
for the summit. The roadway was built of
solid rock clear to the pinnacle and was
from 30 to 40 feet in width. A wall of solid
rock formed a foundation and an Inside
wall at the same time. The outer edge of
the road was unguarded. These stones
weigh all the way up to a ton each and are
not cemented. The roadway is as level as
a floor and is covered with broken pieces of
earthenware water-vessels.
AX ALTAI* CUT IN SOLID ROCK.
" Hall way up the mountain la an altar
cut In solid rock, in the niche is a bowlder
which must weigh at least six tons. The
bowlder is of different stone to that used in
the walls. The rocks in the walls are
dressed by skilled workmen, but are not
polished. We saw no inscriptions; in fact
we had no time to spare in making a search
ing investigation. We did look lor arrow
heads or other warlike implements to sat
isfy ourselves that the mound had not been
used for defensive or offensive purposes.
Nor was there any evidence to prove that
the roadway had been built for the purpose
of witnessing bull-tights and other sports
in the valley. 1 could only conclude the
Aztec sun-worshipers expended years of
labor on the hill in order that they might
have an appropriate place to celebrate their
imposing festivals, inasmuch as the road
way was strewn with broken earthenware,
and those scions of a bygone and notable
race were known to carry at sunrise large
quantities of water ill earthenware jars to
an eminence and there pour out the liquid
and smash the vessels.
AZTEC BUX-WORSHIPERS.
When we descended we brought with us
a number of small sea shells which had pet
rified, and If you look at these on my table
you will see how they have been perforated
by the Indians. We again took a long look
at the mountain and saw it was oblong in
shape, and that the upward road com
menced on the eastern side. I have trav
eled on both si les of the mountains from
British Columbia to Central America, and
on either side of the Sierra Madres where
the cliff-dwellers have left such remarkable
mementos of their skill and customs, but I
have never witnessed anything sc wonder
ful and magnificent as the mound which I
have been telling you about. I never
would have believed it existed if I had not
seen it.
"The valley is about GOO feet above the
sea-level, and is about seventy miles from
the coast. It is situated in Sodom, between
the cities of Altar and Magdalen a, and near
the Magalaleui' Liver. We called the curi
osity Palisade Mountain, and it is well
named." -'■*:: --'rt- •---:■ rt : ; -*_.
KOW AT A PICNIC.
A Young Man Injureal Willi* Returning
From (Ho Fira-ni-n'i* Online.
A row took place on the steamer James
M. Donahue yesterday while the Exempt
Firemen were returning from their picnic
at Santa Itosa. From a statement
made by Police Officer Johns who
was , on the boat at the time,
It seems that two young men became in
volved in a quarrel which resulted in blows.
One man was knocked down and kicked in
such a brutal manner that it was at first
reported that he had been killed.
L was afterwards ascertained, however,
that such was not the case, but that he was
only severely but not fatally injured. It is
said that the injured man is an employe in
one of the departments of the City Hall.

For some time past complaints have been
made that Ah Sing, a Chinese lauudryman
on Diuiiim street, between Oregon and
Jackson, was running his wash-house at all
hours of the night in violation of the city
ordinance. Shortly before midnight on
Saturday Sergeant Helms and Officer Hall
visited the wash-house, which was in full
blast, and Hall placed the proprietor under
arrest for violating the laundry ordinance.
Ah Ling went into a rear room to change
bis clothes and on returning offered the
officer $5 to let him go. Hall assented and
the Chinaman paid him S3 50, saying .at
was all me money he had, but would pay
the balance later on. Hall, after taking
the money to book as evidence, marched
Ling off to the Harbor Station and charged
him with violating the laundry ordinance
and bribing an officer. Holms, who was In
plain clothes, saw the money paid over.

Had in Too the Due.
A large number. of people arrived last
evening at 9:45 o'clock on the Central Pa-'

hotel-runners were down in full force to
meet them, but the -shouting and din of a

arriving passengers.
HE TAKES WATER.
Governor Waterman Drops the
Warden Matter.
Secretary Boruck Disgruntled and Talks Oat.
Director Sonntag Denies Being Guilty
of Malfeasance.
Perhaps the most uncomfortable person
in this city last nieht was the Chief Execu
tive of this State, Governor Waterman.
The cause of his discomfort is the attempt
he has made to oust a Warden and in which .
he has signally failed.
The official against whom he directed his
executive powers is Warden John McComb
of San Quenlin Prison. The Governor
went into the project in his own peculiar
way. He summoned about him those mem
bers of the Board of Prison Directors he
thought most likely to coincide with him.
He declared to them his object, and long
consultations were had in the parlors of
the Occidental Hotel, at the office of the
Prison Directors in the Phelan Building,
and even on the street, where he has often
been seen with sou c member button
holed and in earnest aonversatio n. . / -"
It did not take long for the rumor to
spread that something weighty was burden
ing the mind of the Governor, and soon the
the rumor took well-defined proportions,
and it was stated semi-nutlioritatively th.it
Warden McComb was the object of all this
whispering.
PLACING THE OIHGIN.
Directly the burden of the movement was
thrust on the shoulders of Directors Sonn
tag and De Ptie, and various rumors also
coupled the name of Director lteddy with
the scheme. At ho time were the names of
the other two Directors, Messrs. Craig and
Devlin, mentioned as being among those
favoring the change.
The Directors, excepting Joseph Craig,
attended the meeting held Saturday at Poi
son:, which It was thought would prove
historical by reason of some action being
taken in the premises. Even the more con
servative thought that papers might be filed
looking toward McComb's removal. Many,
therefore, were astonished by the announce
ment that the whole matter had been
dropped.
In announcing that the project had been
droi>i>ed it was stated, on good authority
too, that it was the Governor who had
stopped the proceedings. He stopped them
without giving a reason to others, and per
haps without knowing himself why he did so.
It was the last thing in his mind to undo
what he had caused to be done, and he re
versed every order hv had issued.
Yesterday the Chief Executive was
"out" to all attempts of reporters to inter
view him on causes of the reversal of his
political engine, v -;*- ?.;• ],■•
BORCCK TALKS.
Private Secretary Borne—, however, was
"at home" to reporters, and he talked
freely on the subject. He said: "lean tell
you very little, and that will not be new.
All I know about it is that the whole affair
Is the Governor's. He proposed the change
and was bringing it about in the board. I
decided from the first to have nothing to do
with the case and have kept clear." The
expression of the speaker's face corrobo
rated the force of some hidden disgust he
was disinclined to express in words.
"Yes, I would have nothing to do with
it," lie said, musingly. "I have not even
allowed myself to inquire about It, and all
1 know of his doings I got, like the rest of
the public, iv the papers."
"You say he was bringing it about in the
board. Has he dropped it?"
"By one el the morning papers I should
think ho had. But 1 don't know. The
news may not be reliable." .
"Have you had any connection with the
proposed change in Wardens?"
"None. None, whatever. It Is wholly,
as I have said, the Governor's scheme. He
. entered it atone and kept bis own counsel,
and if he had decided to drop the matter
he has his own reasons. All I know is
that from the first I was and wanted to
keep away from it, and, when I saw I was
named as the cause, I sent a telegram to
Mr. McComb denying it."
"Do you know anything about the alle.ed
charges against Director Sonntag?"
"I know nothing of them at all. I have
nothing to say about it." ~ "."' .
KO CJIAROKS FILED.
This matter of ousting a Warden is sim
ple enough if charges against the incum
bent be hied, as nothing can be done other
wise, especially if he will not resign. The
Governor does not seem to have thought of
that course. He acted as if the only thing
necessary was to get enough of the Direc
tors interested and in favor of the changes.
Going to work in this manner, he only
succeeded in arraying all the friends of the
Warden against the uncertain Directors,
and, us a result, charges of malfesanco in
office were spoken of as being prepared for
filing against Director Sonntag. 'The
charges specify that Director Son tag made
contracts in at least two cases where
money consideration must have accrued to
his personal advantage.
Last night Directors De Puc and Sonntag
returned from Folsom, where the meeting
was held on Saturday. Director Sonntag
was seen just as be was ascending to his
apartments at the Palace. He said, when
questioned about the charges:
soxstag's DECLARATION
"I've been asked several times about
that matter. All I have to say is that any
attempt to besmirch my integrity or
attack my faithfulness as a public offi
cer I brand as an infamy. When
I concluded about six years ago to
accept the position I now occupy, which I
did somewhat against my will., I decided
to do my duty regardless of fear or favor.
I have not changed the stand 1 then took.
I'll allow the records of the prison to cor
roborate what I have said. it Is sometimes
an honor to be arraigned by such a person
as I think is behind this infamous attack.
Such is my case at present."
"Did the board do anything about the
Warden at Folsom ?"
"No. not as a board. There was no ac
tion taken. 1 see that lam quoted as being
one of the chief instigators of that matter.
Allow mo to say that I disclaim any con
nection with the scheme. I had nothing In
common with the Governor In this project."
HOW A JAP LADY SMOKES.
A Familiar Scene In the Can of the Aye-
Inspiring Orient.
When a Japanese lady gets on the car— if
not with her husband or family she is sure
to have a lady friend or a female servant
with her— she generally drops her sandals
on the floor, and, carefully arranging her
robe, folds her feet and legs under her on
the seat, just as at home on the mats. She
next takes out from the oil or great silk belt
which encircles her waist, and which really
keeps all her garments in place, the tiny
pipe, case and pouch, and filling the bowl
with a pinch of the tine cut weed, strikes a
match and lights it. She draws in one full
whiff and then let; most of the smoke float
out of her mouth little by little, but finally
the rest is blown out through the nose.
She then knocks the tobacco out of the
pipe, against the toe of her sandal, on the
floor, and replenishes the howl with tobacco
immediately, lighting it from the former
contents which are still smoking on the
floor, and of this second bowlful she slowly
inhales about three whiffs, then empties
the bowl again. 1 have seen the tilling,
lighting and smoking repeated one after the
other four times, but generally it is but
twice. After this the pipe is replaced in
the pouch and the whole put away in the
belt.
It is easy enough to descrioe this in
words, but impossible to point them with
the absolute perfection of grace which ani
mates every move.— Detroit Fiee Press.
Kalucatlon and Crime.
We may find upon a mora careful exam
ination that there is some other cause than
ignorance for tills rapid growth of our
prison population In certain parts of our
country. If lam not mistaken, there are
several such causes, some of them entirely
independent of the change in the illiteracy
of the nation. One of them lies in the
transition from an unsettled condition to a
settled condition on our constantly advanc
ing frontier: another is in the change from
slavery in the South, and a third is in the
gradual elevation of the standard of human
conduct, making crimes of actions that had
been only lawful escapades in earlier times.
The first cause comes out clearly If we
compare the ten States th.it were on the
frontier in 1850 with ten older States— the
New En.land and Middle States, for in
stance. I In the former the ratio of criminals
has been multiplied four or five times dur
ing the past thirty years, while in the latter
it has only doubled, rising I from 244 to 1143
prisoners in 1,000,000 inhabitants om the
frontier, ' and from 450 to 1074 on the sea
board. Of course, it is obvious that In a

new country there will be a certain amount
of lawless conduct unpunished at first, be
fore Sheriffs, courts and jails are in running
order. But the rapid increase in the pro
portion of criminals, as the State grows
older, does not mean more crime; it often
means less. The evil-doers are arrested
and sentenced, and so get into our prisons
and our census, any then we are told that
crime is increasing.— Popular Science

HOW TO LIVE.
If We Knjnv Health and Lencth of Day!
It Mast He by Temperance.
There are two things we chiefly wish for
while we live— health, to make life enjoya
ble, and length of days, to make it lasting...
To obtain both mainly depends on our
selves.
We do not simply die; we usually kill
ourselves. Our habits, our passions, our
anxieties of body and mind, shorten our
lives.
The key to health and long life Is so
briety in living. It is the fashion re
strict the term sobriety in the use of intox
icating liquors.
We can say with truth that the drunkard
is killing himself, but we rarely speak of
overeating as a shortener of life.
A sober life implies moderation in all
things. "It consists," says Cornan, "in
moderate eating, in moderate drinking and
in a moderate enjoyment of 'ill the pleas
ures of life; in keeping the mind moder
ately but constantly employed, in cul
tivating the affections moderately,
in avoiding extremes of heat and
cold and in shunning excessive
excitement either of body or mind. . A
sober life is a life of order, of rule, of tem
perance—that divine sobriety which is
grateful to God, friendly to nature, the
daughter of reason, the sister of virtue, the
companion of temperate livine— modest,
gentle, content with little, guided by rule
ami line in all its operations."
It Is an important rule to observe and
practice for health, comfort and our peace
within and without, to attack every ail
ment and malady at Its beginning, to arrest
the premonitory symptoms before they take
root in our vitals, and gradually or quickly
interrupt the normal action of the organs.
A loss of. strength, a weakened memory, a
tottering walk, all bespeak a mental or
physical disorder, wnich, if not arrested in
the early stage, will lead to disease and
fatal consequences.
"One can hardly believe." says Reveille,
"how far a little health, well treated, will
carry us."
"And the rule of the sage," says Cicero,
" is to make use of what one has, "and to act
In everything according to one's strength,"

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
Wonder* Seen by Divers < ' ll' the Florida
ennui — Danger From Sharks. ...''.• ,^
In St. Nicholas for May C. F. Holder
gives his experience as a diver off the Flor
ida coast: "The fishes were beautiful," he
writes. "Some swam over my arms and
let me move my baud toward them. But
most were shy. As to the stories of sharks,
they are in the main not true. I have bad
a shark come within five feet of me, and
when I raised my arm it darted off in such
a hurry that the boiling of the water nearly
threw me off my feet. Of course, there may
be cases where a very large shark might at
tack a diver; but if he should attack one
wearing the modern diver's helmet or armer,
I think the shark would have a hard time
of copper and glass would not make a
very good mouthful.
"A friend of mine had a funny experi
ence. He was walking on a sandy bottom,
when suddenly he was lifted upward, then
thrown backward, and, but lor his pike,
would have fallen. For a few seconds the
water was not clear. Then be saw that the
cause of bis upset was a big snake that had
been lying partly buried in the sand
asleep, perhaps. Ho had stepped with his
leaden shoes ri.ht on its back.
" Among the strange things that may be
seen by divers is the ocean forest, off the
eastern coast. The sandy bottom there is
covered with the hardened roots of great
trees, and in some instances parts of trunks
are standing, showing that the coast there
must have settled ana that the sea there has
rolled in over the land. Sometimes we go
down at night, and then the scene under
water is often a beautiful sight. Every
jelly fish and living creature seems to be
ablaze with light; your rope appears to be
on file, and every motion makes the water
glimmer. The crabs and fishes sparkle,
many with a light of their own. So, you
see, instead of being a dark aud barren
place, as the majority of people seem to re
gard it, the ocean, even at the greatest
depths, is probably made bright by the
very animals that most need the light."

the reigning King of Portugal.
When Queen Isabella of Spain was sent
into exile Bismarck tried to put a llohen
zollern on the Spanish throne. Louis Na
poleon opposed it, with an eye to a Bona
parte for the position. At the same time a
strong coalition of the grandees of Spain
favored placing Dom Fernando of Portugal
on their country's throne, with all the
chances in his favor. But while the
grandees were content to have Dora
Fernando, their wives declared that they
would never appear at court should the
pieman Bostonese be permitted to do the
royal honors. A compromise was proposed
In secret caucus— viz., to obtain from Pius IX
a divorce— but Dom Fernando rather than
renounce Eliza Henzler, put away the
Spanish crown. Thus the Indirect conse
quences of heroic attachment were the
Franco-Prussian war, the downfall of Na
poleon 111., the loss of Alsace and Lorraine
to France and the still uncertain future of
Spain.— Brooklyn Citizen. :::
A Good Manager.
A bare-headed woman, with a faded and
ragged dress, solicited aims the other evert
ing of a gentleman who was crossing the
City Hall Park. He came to a halt and
said:
"No, for a drink?"
"No, sir; it's for food."
"But I don't know how you live. I have
to practice economy in order to have money
in my pocket You may be recklessly ex
travagant for all I know. How much money
have you spent to-day?"
"Well, sir, I've made seven cents run five
of us on cold potatoes so far, and if I can
get three more we'll top oil with bread and
water before we go to bed. Might leave
out the bread, sir, if I can find a bit of tar
somewhere to thicken up the water and de- .
ceive the children. Can you draw it any
finer than that, sir?"
The man held a dime as he passed
by.— Philadelphia Call.
