Detroit Free Press: In the smaller towns of the south the stranger isalways struck by the apparent fact that the land- lord of the hotel ought to be in some other business. There is no system in wgement,and it never seems to occur to mine host that anythi s expected of him. One day when the landlord of a village hotel "sat down with me for a smoke I sammoned up courage to say: “Landlord, that was an awful bed you gave mg last’ night.” “'Yes, sir—don’t doubt it, sir. some very bad beds in this house. “‘And your waiters here are very lazy and impudent.” “1 know it. Yes, sir, they are.” “And such fare! That coflee awful.” 'L know it, coffee,” “‘And that butter is nothing but Chi- cago lardine.” ‘“That’s it exactly. Can’t anybody eat that stuft.”” “‘And you don’t know how to cook meats."” . “‘We don't, sir, and I am free to admit it l"vve got was T've had to stop drinking I noticed that the milk was about half water.” “I think it was, I used to drink it, but now I take clear water instead.” “Colonel, can 1 ask you a fair ques- tion?” *‘You can, sir.” “Why do you keep a hotel instead of running a saw mill?” “Why do I, sir? Because, sir, I feel lhfir I" don’t know enough to run the mill!” -~ His Title to the Land. Brookline News: A friend of mine, Hugh Craig, a graduate of Oxford, told me a story once, which I have since scen in the Overland Monthly, regarding a claim to a title. At a ‘‘land court’ a middle-aged Maori appeared and made a long speech, giving the reason why a title of & certain piees ot land should be given him., An old grizzled Maori had listened without say- g a word, At last, as the younger man was about finishing his speech, he in- quired: “‘Where are my ancestors buried, but in this land, where I was bornt’’ When he had ended the ola man-eater slowly arose, and, throwing:off every- thing but a waistcloth, he bounded across the room and addressed the eourt, say- ing: EA have listened with disguat and con- tempt to the words of this tuturn (no- body). What claim can he have to this land? I conquered long ago the people lived on that land when he was a small child; and the mistake I then made was in permitting him talive! And he asks, ‘Where are his ancestors buried? I tell him and show him. HBere! here!"— patting his stomach with his left hand. ‘His ancestors are here, Late them and that 18 my title to the land.” No better or stronger title to native land can be brought betore the native Iand courts than the above described *‘Title by Digestion:" e The real swell of modern times is the one about whose appearance there is nothing conspicuous. There is a demand for dirty feliows to masquerade as Indians and Turks at sum- mer resorts. “‘Where are you gomng tnis summer will very soon crme under the head of in- teresting questions, The people who said there was going to be much of an exodus to Lurope now realize their mistake., A TRAGEDY 1IN STATISTICS, How the Dangerous Occupations Kill More than War=Tho Suporfluous Women Are Widows, Bostox, June 24 pondence to the Bee.)]—The great num- ber of recent railroad disasters in England and the facts that have been made public by the discussion of the re- cently enacted Employer's Liability law in Massachusetts throw new light on the preponderance of women in this state. An investigation of all the facts by aring on this social phenomenon reveals a tragedy which may be told in statistics, Who are these surplus women? Unmar- ried women? So it has been supposed, erroniously. It has been assumed that they were the unmarried, the maiden and spinsters “left” m the struggle for matrimanial prices and therefore presumably not the ‘‘fittest.” But an investigation made for the Bre shows that they are neither young maidens nor spinsters, but they were, not long ago, the “‘fittest” the brightest of their sex, who early won the love and support of brave young fellows, and are now widows, It takes very few ‘es to tell the et in the tragedy. al excess of females in thi 18 76,373, and of this number more than 85 per cen idows, the total number of in the s pecial Corrés- It is not wmong women of advanced ¥ or eyen among those in the mid- dle of life, that the great exeess is found, More than half are not orty, 20,004 ges between twenty 1 ad but tasted of the nd motherhood wl rilous,” nuimber of these v of the men whose thousand forms of mut in our newspapers night : the yonng wage earners killed in the d s occunation i'lie perilsof the Sinco car colonial wst population has derived its sipport sinly from the sea, and if the down sast ninist alary is no longer paid in Land mackerel by weight ot count it 1s none the Ic id with'ecod and mack- ercl in anoth v, The fishernian sces but little of his hom His quest ta Bim 150 1o 1,000 or more miles from Glou- cester, He enters the httle dory and casting ofl from the vessel exposes hime selfto the full force of the Atlan With the best of luck hie sufferings aro severe, and it is often that.the worst of lue tak i Lostin the fog he dies in the agonies of starvation and thirst, and “Last scen on the Georges’ the only word that gets buck to the deso- late home at Gloucester. to one hundred and v o rthat sinvle nort enormously g s the loss of lif The network s that covers the state is the winotaur. The accidents to ad employes du the ten years 1875 to 1856 was 44,1 year. The average number of per not employes, killed while walking or lying on the track was 97.9 per year. . An analysis of the latter number shows that the popular notion that track walkers are usuall drunken men or thamps is as istaken as popular notions in gen- The majority of them « rer: ng to and from work by the raiiroad track because it is more direct than the highway. The fatalities among men who meet death while actually engaged in the duties of their calling make up a painfal record, Here is one case from many in my note book. John Gaylord was a freight brakeman. He was™ *‘one of the boys,” but a warm hearted fellow with pleaty of good sense. Anna Day was a comely, atfectionate girl, whose father was an engineer on the same road. When John was promoted to aregular post on the platform of a passengzer car of a mixed train and told if he kept straight he would be a baggage master in a few months. He said he would keep straight —and marry Anna. He kept his word 1n both particulars, but the railroad ofticers did not keep thei John was still on the platform of his passenger car when there vere three little Gaylords in An- nie’s kitchen, One day John was in especially good spirits as he started off, and he looked back and waved his dinner pail at Annie and the three little faces in the doorway. The next day the train had covered two- thirds of the return trip when the signal sounded for brakes. John sprang to his post. ‘The brakeman on the freignt car lu!l forward saw the passenger car top- Elu to one side, saw John standing at his rake and turned away his eyes. The passengers crawled out, not one buly j , and the trainmen looked about They found him under the wreck, his hands elutching the broken brake, white—dead. It was nearly tea time and nearly time for John when Annie heard the newsboys . “Last cdition, all about the acci- dent,” a familiar cry that always filled her with dreadful fear. In a moment she had the paper.

In this last esti- mate he was undoubtedly mistaken, for up tothe beginning of 1881 no fewer than 261,000,000 barrels had been raised, and 1n the year 1885 as many as 21,042~ 041 barrels (nearly 8,000,000 fewer than in 1884) were obtamned. But although the estimate of 1885 of the quantity of oil still remaining fell far short of the truth, and though we may admit as po: sible that even now much more oil r mains to be put out than the most exper- iencea geologists suppose, the si of approaching exhaustion are yearly be- coming more unmistakable. The expens of bringing the oil to the surface grows greater year by year and threatens soon to become so great that the profit of working the oil stores will be evanescent, So soon as that state of thingsi proached we may be sure that the men’s occupation in Pennsylvaaia western New York will be gone. 1 been stated that the Japanese, unwilling to let the least fraction of the earth’s in- ferior stores be lost, have been known to excavate a vertical shaft to the depth of 600 feet 1n order to raise a few gallons of ol per day. Butin America, when the oil mines are so near exhaustution as this, they will be abandoned; nay, teey will b abandoned long before the appronch such a condition. With the failure of the oil supply all the collateral branches of in- dvstry associated with it will fall, too. —~— Something new and unique is a cork- wood cane made to look like the daintily rolled umbrella prized by swells. —~—— Regular games of base ball by profes- sional players are to bo included among season attractions at Cape May.

A monkey, probably maceus eynomolgus, which infests thesa islands, prowls about the shore when the tide 1s' low, opening the rock-oysters by striking the base of the upper valve until it dislocates and breaks up. Ha then extracts the oyster with his finger and thumb, ocecasionally putting hid mouth straight into the broken shell. On disturbing them I generally founda that they had selected a stone more appar- ently for conventeuce in handling than for its value as a hammer, and it was smaller in proportion to what a human being would have selected for a propor- tionate amount of work. In short it was usually a stone they could get their fine gers around, As the rocks crop up through the low watér mud the stone had to be brought from high water mark, this distance varying from ten to hty yards. This monkey has chosen the easiest way to open the rock oyster, viz: to dislocate the valves by a blow on the base of the upper one, and to break the shell over the at- taching muscle. The gibbon also fre- quents these islands, but 1 never saw one them on the beach. ————— Big Poker.
