| \ : CONSOLING HER INTENDED. George’s Unnecessury Fears Were Dissipated by One Word. She had agreed to become his wife. For a long time he had sat in silence, too full of emotion to say anytbing,. so great was his happiness at having at last achieved the fondest dream of his life. At length his face, hitherto wreathed with smiles, became clouded A scowl of annoyance settled upon it. She, who had been attentively watch- ing his countenance, was quick to ob- serve the change. “What is the matter, George,” she asked in alarm. “You are not sorry you asked ne to marry you and that L consented? Oh, George, I hope that is not it.” “No, dear. You know I love you as bever woman was loved before.” “Then what is it that causes you dis- tress? Tell me that I may console you. It is the duty of a little wife to comfort her husband in afiliction, and I am going to be your little wifie. Ain’t I George?” ‘Yes, darling, you are.” : And there was silence during which no sound fell upon the air except a noise like the popping of champagne corks. “Well, Georgie, now tell me all about “Well, dear, I was wondering what your father will say when I ask him for your hand. You are such a prec- ious jewel that I dare not ask him for you. I feel as if I were robbing him of the greatest and most precious thing in the world.” “Well.” she replied, “if that’s all that’s the matter with you, I might as well tell you that father and [ re- hearsed the whole act last night ufter you left, and I am sure he will reflect credit upon my lessons when yot speak to him.” _ And a great load was lifted from his heart, while he immediately deposited another in his lap. HUNTERS HIT BY THEIR GAME, ‘nstances Where Sportsmen Have Received Severe Blows from Bivds. Game killed in flight has a piomen- tum that carries it a long way some- times. The London Field relates sev- eral instances where the birds have hit the sportsman. In one case George Monners was shooting in the woods of Long Island when a grouse, driven by beaters, came flying along fast and high up. He shot at it, and then, with the other barrel, fired at another bird. Just as he was about lowering his gun, after the second shot, he received a blow on the head that knocked him senseless. The grouse first hit had tezabled against his head. That same afternoon a wheelmas, riding along rear the line of hunte:s, admiring the scenery, did not observe a big black cock till its feathers brush- ed his head. The black cock had heen killed and had nearly hit him in falling. The Badminton volume on shooting tells how the late Charles Leslie was knocked out at the battery by a grouse he had shot. A strong hat probably saved him from serious injury. American hunters have bad similar experience. A man was riding along in a wagon some time ago, according to Forest and Stream, when some- thing hit him on the head with enough force to make him dizzy. An un- wounded partridge flying through the woods had hit him fair. Why the bird did not turn aside is as much a mys- tery as the fact that partridges some- times fly against house sides and are killed in so doing. A Motion to Amend. Those people out in Colorado are cer- tainly stuck on silver. Now, the last time I was out there I attended church on Sunday, as I always do. The min- ister was one of the good, old-style Methodists. He’d grown up in the country, though, and called a spade a spade when it was necessary. Hie had reached his peroration, “and when the last day shall have come,’ he said, and we shall have knocked on the pearly gates and they shall have | opened to us, we shall enter the beau- tiful city and walk up the golden- paved streets and receive a golden harp of a thousand strings; then, oh, Nhen, what joy will be—’ Just then, away down in the rear of the church, a little peaked-nosed runt with bow- legs, jumped up and shouted. ‘I rise for the purpose of making a motion.’ Well, the parson looked startled and quit. speaking. ‘My motion is,’ said the peak-nosed fellow, ‘that wherever in that there discourse the word “gold” appears, it be stricken out, and the word “silver” be substituted.’ ‘Well, sir, about forty of that congre- gation got up to second the motion. Now. that just shows what the silver sentiment is in that state.” “Well, what did the preacher say?” asked the listeners. “Well, gentlemen, he looked at that little peaked-nose, bow-legged runt for a winute, gettin’ madder and madder all the while, and he looked as if he was going to have a stroke of apo- plexy. He slammed the book shut and he banged his fist down on the cover and said, ‘I’ll see you durned first!’ ”— New York Sun. Ballooning at Sea. The French navy is now being fitted out with vessels which are to carry on the science of ballooning at sea. A French cruiser, the Sfax, belonging to the Mediterraneai squadron, has been fitted out expressly for experiments with balloons. The balloon itself is kept on deck in a half inflated condi- tion. It does not take up much space of itself, but the equipment necessery fai proper balloon work demands a ha deal of room. Whenever it may be deemed necessary to learn of the presence of vessels in the neighbor- hood of the French squadron, the bal- Jon will be inflated and sent up; and its occupants will thus have a view of a far greater extent of ecean than could be seen from the deck or mast of a vessel.—Boston Advertiser.

It May Be Saperseded by One’ of Lighter Color, ‘ It would apppear trom one of our trade organs that tailors are becoming 8 little anxious about the prospects ot the black’ coat of civilization, They fear it is in danger of being supersed- ed by a garment of lighter hue, if not of variegated pattern. Perhaps, if they were to give voice to the deeper. apprehensions. they would say that there was more at stake than the black coat. There can, at any rate, be little doubt, whether the tailors are willing to admit it or not, that with the fate of the black coat is bound up that of the black waistcoat. Whether the two have been lovely and pleasant in their lives is a matter of opinion, but we feel sure that in death they would not be divided. We mean no disrespect to the vest in describing it as a parasite of the coat. It is an humble dependent, which has only found its way into so- ciety under the wing of its influential patron, to whom it adheres with a sin- gle-breasted fidelity rewarded on the other side by an attachment which is rarely broken save for a short period during the summer months. The trousers, it is true, are connected with the upper garments by no such feudal tie; but their own opinion is complete, and, except in very hot weather, indossuluble. Hence, the far- sighted tailors no doubt perceive clear- ly enough ‘that if the black coat goes we shall be within measurable dis- tance of the “tweed suit.” Nor are there wanting those who would do their best to accelerate the catastro- phe. Animated by the restless spirit of the age, its impatience of sobriety and its thirst for change and color in cos- tume, as in life, there is a school of so-called reformers who are endeayor- ing to urge the wearers of black coats to revolt. Let them give free play, ex- plain their anarchistic counselors, to “their taste in checks and stripes,” and they will be able to cut a far more picturesque figure at a far smaller an- nual outlay. With the outlay, of course, the public is not concerned, though that matter, doubtless, is not without its interest for the tailors; but we own to some uneasiness at the idea of the entire community indulging its multifarious taste in checks and stripes in a headlong pursuit of the picturesque. We have all of us, indeed, seen the experiment tried under very favorable circumstances, but with little more than dubious results, by those little bands of vocal and instrumental art- ists, generally six or eight in number, who are usually to be met with at race meetings or on the sands of popular seaside resorts at this time of the year. These pioneers of dress reform have entirely discarded the black coat, preferring one of gayer color, with no- ticeable-elongated tails, and the free- dom with which they indulge their taste in checks and stripes may almost be said to border upon license. Yet the effect, even with the addition of an open shirt collar of Elizabethan pro- portions, a corked face and a banjo, eannot be described as entirely pictur- esque.—London Telegraph. Floating Sanitariums, The sanitarium at sea is a European | idea. A large steamer especially fitted up for the accommodation of invalids in need of fresh air and a favorable climate is to be constructed by a ship- owning association. The ship is to be in constant employment for eight or nine months in the year, but for at least three months out of the twelve | she will go into dock in order to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. It is proposed to make this steamer which is to be the forerunner of a large fieet similarly equipped, a veri- table floating palace in the matters of both comfort and salubrity. Al though skilled advice and nursing will always be available, the accompani- | ments of a sanitarium will be kept as much as possible in the background. The prominent idea to be carried out | in this new departure is the isolation of a dangerous class, with the least possible amount of discomfort to its members; and, furthermore, that by a judicious timing of moves the suffer- ers will be afforded a chance of recoy- ery under the most favorable climatic | conditions, which it would be difficult to secure otherwise. A list of anchor- ages has been made, all of which have their special seasons. As soon as any undesirable change of weather is im- | minent at the port of stopping, the ship will sail for a more salubrious climate. Lawn Billiards, Lawn billiards is the latest sugges- tion for the popularization of garden parties. The game is, as yet, so little known that it merits a word or two of description: A ground about the same size as that used for croquet is rolled as smoothly as possible, and its bound- aries banked up a few inches in imita- tion of cushions. Croquet balls can be used, and holes in the turf take thé place of the regulation pockets. The D and balk line are marked with white chalk, and for cues a broad-pvipted im- plement is employed with a small roller at the end on its underside to enable it to run with ease over the sur- face of the grass. No stooping is re- quired, and those who have tried the game with appliances made to their own order and lawns prepared by themselves are convinced that if the requisites were easily procurable and grounds upon which it could be played more numerous, lawn billiards would attract to garden parties many who at present attend them more for duty than pleasure.—London Telegraph.

Records of Some of the Most Destruct- i ive in Former Years. With an overcrowded population of 200,000,000 peasants whose annual sup- ply of food depends on a rainfall sub-- ‘ject to decided irregularities, it is in- evitable that India should suffer from frequent and destructive famines. Me- teorological observations have dis- closed no rule of periodicity in these failures of rainfall by which seasons of drought can be forecast with cer- tainty. They have, on the other hand, established the fact that the fall is never either deficient or excessive in any single year throughout the whole of India, says a writer in the New York Observer. There is always a re- serve of food supply in some part of the area which may be drawn upon for use in the needy districts. It has been discovered, too, that winters marked by an excessive snowfall in the Him- alayas are always followed by dimin- ished summer rainfall, generally in northern India, but sometimes in other portions of the great peninsula. Apart from these few facts, gathered within the last quarter of a century, there is little data from which seasons of drought may be forecast, though it is known that a .drought, once begun, generally extends over two or more years. The approach of scarcity can be determined only in the year in which it actually occurs, and by a sys- tem of observations beginning with the June rainfall and continuing until autumn. Of the extent of the suffer- ing from drought and crop failure in the Asiatic world Western peoples have but a faint conception. In the great droughts in northern China in 1877-78 no less than 9,500,000 persons perished; and although during the present century at least no single fam- ine in India has attained that magni- tude, it is estimated that in the score or more disasters which have oc- curred, between 15,000,000 and 20,000,- 000 lives have been lost. That which began in 1875 and culminated in 1877 was the most prolonged and destruc- tive, resulting in the death of 5,500,- 000 persons. In 1865-66 a third of the population of 3,000,000 starved to death in Orissa, and in 1868-70 about 1,500,- 000 died froma want in Rajputana. The famine of 1861 in the northwest prov- inces was a huge calamity, and the Berar drouth of 1873-74 was only pre- vented from becoming so by lavish ex- penditure on the part of the Indian government. Prior to the white con- quest famines of immense dimensions devastated the peninsula, resulting oc- casionally in ap appalling decimation of the feebler classes of the population. These classes are always so near star- vation that a season of drouth reduces them at once to extremities of hun- ger. famine relief in India were of the usual Asiatic sort. First the shops of the grain dealers were sacked and their owners murdered. When that failed the offices of the native governments were besieged and when the royal gran- aries were emptied the gods were pro- pitiated with sacrifices, ending with the i Slaughter of human victims and the distribution of their fiesh over the barren fields. But during the past thirty years these devices have given way to the remedial measures of a more practical and effective kind. Taught by long experience, the govern- ment of India has elaborated a system of relief, machinelike in its opera- tions, capable of being put into effect at any time and of adjustment to the needs of any particular scarcity. The old noticn that a government cannot be made responsible for deaths from starvation any more than for deaths by fever has disappeared. Every rural of- ticial is made to feel his responsibility and is minutely instructed beforehand as to his particular duty in such stages of scarcity. First a system of crop forecasts gives notice of the possible approach of famine. When the possi- bility becomes from further reports probability the government begins ac- tive preparations to meet it. Its fore- casts may not prove correct but it acts at once and energetically, knowing that if it waits to verify its estimates action will be too late to be effectual. Fish Chew Tobacco, Francis Harding, living near Lilly lake, N. Y., has made a discovery. He was out tip-up fishing, and had cut several holes in the ice. He had wait- ed in vain for a bite for several hours, when he happened to toss a quid of tobacco in one of the holes. Quick as a flash it was snapped up and disap- peared beneath the water. This gave him an idea, and, pulling up one of his many hooks, he placed a piece of plug tobacco on it. Instantly there was a commotion, and he pulled in a fine four-pound pickerel. Francis then dis- tributed his remaining supply of to- bacto on the various hooks, and the result was that in half an hour he had over fifteen pounds of fish, Since then he has made several large hauls in this manner. ‘ His Wish.

HIS “LITTLE FELLER.” @lorified and Made Beautiful the Humble Home. “T happened to be down in my celia: the other morning when the ashman came around tv collect the ashes,” said @ gentleman who resides on Second avenue to a Detroit Free Press man “I was opening a barrel of great red apples at the time, and when the big, dust-covered and necessarily untidy man came back with the empty ash barre! I picked up an apple and held it vut toward him, saying as I did so: “*Won’t you have an apple?’ “He took it eagerly, saying as he did so: “*Thank ye, sir; I’ve a little feller at home who'll be tickled to death to git it. I most always find something or other in the ash barréls to carry home to ’im at night, but it ain’t often I gi! anything equal to this big apple. . I tell ye the little feller’s eyes will shine when he see it.’ “T don’t know how many times that day my thoughts were of that bg, rough-handed fellow, with that ap put away so carefully In his pocket for that ‘little feller.’ “When evening came I thought of the ‘little feller’ who was on tle look- out for the big, dust-covered fa fr; with the cxloused and soiled is but with the trne heart and th word that made aim a king in the of that ‘little feller.’ “St must have been a very poor aii humble home to which the man weat at the close of his weary day, but then there was the ‘little feller’s’ prese to make beautiful even the bare w*! and floors and to bring the love li to his father’s eyes and joy to father’s heart. “These ‘little fellers’ glorify beautify many a home in which pove abides. But human affections sweetly and patiently endure toil rags and poverty when there is a tle feller’ to meet and greet the when the long day is done.” kin HIS GRANDMOTHER’S GIFT. The Colonel Cooled Of When He Knew Who That Grandmother Was. A good story comes from Berlin, At a ball given there not very long ago a pompous colonel ran up against a young olficer evidently fresh from the military schools, whose only decorat was a large medailion set in brilli: “I say, lieutenant, what the dic is that concern you have on?” s fully asked the elder warrior. “It’s an order, colonel,” answered the young man modestly. “An order? Not a Prussian one. 1 know of no such,” retorted the colone! jealously. “An English order, colonel,” mildly returned the lieutenant. “Ane who in the world gave it te you?” interrogated the other, with hiz nose in the air. “My grandmother,” said the young | man with a twinkle in his blue eyes. The old colonel began to think the young man was making game of him. “Potztausend, and who may your grandmother be?” he exclaimed irately. “Her Majesty Queen Victoria of Eng- Jand,” said the lieutenant, whose face was dancing with -:nerriment by this time. It was Prince Albert of Schies- wig-Holstein. The colonel got very red in the face and withdrew, with a pro- | found bow of apology, to take a back | seat for the rest of the evening. Prince Albert has been making merry over the incident ever since, and even grand- mamma herself had a good laugh when she was told of it. A Wonderful Clock. Undoubtedly one of the most wonder- | ful clock in the world was that. origi- nally manufactured for the late Duke Charles of Brunswick, and which is now being exhibited in St. Petersburg. There are no fewer than ninety-five faces to this colossal time piece. It indi- cates simultaneously the time of day at thirty different spots on the surface of the earth, besides the movement of the earth around the sun, the phases of the moon, the signs of the zodiac, the || passage over the meridian of more than fifty stars of the northern hemi- sphere, and the date, according tu the Gregorian, Greek, Mussulman, and Ee- brew calendars. At his death, Prince Charles bequeathed the clock to the Swiss confederation. So complicated are the works that it took two years to put them together after the clock had been sent in detached pieces from Switzerland to Russia. Spectacles Used of Old.
