SEAFORTH. for , & : FEARFUL OF SWINDLER& 1 low a Simple Hoosier Protected Maw self In a Wheat Rale. In the course of a conversation touch. ing upon the proposed reauthorization of currency by state banks, a Wall street batik president a few days • age related the followiug story of a clever swindle ruade possible by that torm of currency inany years ago: "It was in the worst of the 'wild cat' and 'red dog' currency days," he re- marked, "that a simple Indiana trader arrived in New Orleans with a barge load of wheat. The grain was etowed in the hold of the barge, flush up to the deck covering. "The innocent Hoosier reached the Crescent City at an opportune znoment. Wheat was in good demand, prices were high, and scarcely had the barge been moored alongside the levees than a swarm of commission merchants and speculator were anxious to relieve the owner of the cargo. "A price per bushel was proposed and accepted, but when it came to the terns of the sale the would-be buyer found himself confronted with a difficulty upon which he had not reckoned. The honest Indianian first insisted that his entire oargo,should be, measured bushel for bushel instead of. estimated in bulk, and then he expressed himself as afraid of assorted state bank currency. "'My wife,' mid he, 'told me as how I'd be swindled on this wheat 'fore I got back to Indiana. I don't want no drafts or exchange in payment, and I don't- want no bills onbusted banks.l'm sure of Indiana. Their money's good. You must pay me in Indian bills." . "It was a difficult matter for the buyer to _collect a sufficient quantity of bilis on Indiana state banks, but flually, after visiting nearly every bank in New Orleans, he secured the necessary amount. Then he came to the barge, showed the money to the Hoosier, and set his negroes at work measuring the cargo of wheat, bushel for bushel. The negroes worked slowly and the buyer chafed under the delay. He ap- pealed to the Indianian to let the cargo be estimated in the usAl manner. For a time the Hoosier protested and referred to his fear of being swindled. Finally, with a show of reluctance, he yielded and an- cepted the Indiana money. "Almost immediately he disappeared. and the New Orleans man smiled as he thought of his simple-minded friendifor he had secured the Indiana bills at a dis- .1cOunt. All this changed however, the f ollowing day, when the stevedores, who aireere taking the grain from the boat, en- ountered an obstruction. It proved to a framework of slabs. condi noted in the form of a bulkhead and extending almost from side to side and end to end, of the barge. The quantity of wheat thereby was reduced fully three-fourths of the estimated amount, but the honest, simple-minded Hoosier, who had so ef- fectually disarmed all suspicion, was far away with his Indiana bills."—New 'York Herald. SUFFERINOS OF A STOWAWAY. Sixteen Days on Patton. Intended for One Day Only. A remarkable adventure of hardship coupled with human endurance is relat- ed by Capt. Evans of the British steam— ship William Anning, which arrived at Sparrow's Point with iron ore from St. Jago, Cuba. The case occurred upon the trip between Baltimore and Bor- deaux France. ;The Aiming sailed from here May 13 with a full cargo of wheat. On the sixteenth day out the chief officer reported to Capt. Evans that there were strange sounds in No. 3 hatch, which could be heard at intervals. The sounds ' continued until all on board were more or less impressed with the necessity of investigating what were thought by some to be spirit rappings, as all conceded that no human being could be in the small space between the bagged wheat and the iron deck above. At last Capt. Evans decided to investi- gate. The battens and tarpaulins were removed and one of the hatches was taken off. Suddenly an emaciated man, who looked like a maniac, struggled on deck. Helooked about and then made a rush for the ship's side, panting like a person who is ,driven wild by thirst. Seeing that the cool water of the sea had allured the man, Capt. Evans ordered his orew to seize him. Then water was ven the Man in small quantities, not- ithstanding his' piteous appeals for 'm re. Br -lady and water were also ad- ministered kini with good effect, soon a possible Capt. Eya,ns drew ou the man sstory, a,nd recorded his naMe, home and age, in case he should, die before reaching land. He said he bel nged to Denmark and had stowed away on the Anning in Baltimore. When he hid in the hold he had one loaf of bread and a small can of water, which he thought would be sufficient until the ves el reached sea, when he intended to coile from his hiding place. To his as- toniehment, when the hatch was fasten- ed he saw hiB last chance for liberty cut off, and he made the voyage in the dark t under the m st terrible suspense and agony. Much that he told Capt. Evans • of 41 experie ce was awful to hear, He had probably Ifasted the whole time, ex- cept the first day of his imprisonment. He tried to ea wheat from. the cargo, but his rhouti produced no saliva and he could not iasticate the grain. Capt. Evans kindly ared for the man. When Bordeaux_was reached he went ashore with the deter nination to walk to his home in Den ark. Capt. Evans thinks if Ile could sp nd seventeen days in the ehip's hold lie you'd be eve,' to the task before liiin.-- altiniore Sun. " Rare 'rest -moo of Mind.

Our illustration represents a handy contrivance for exorcising stallions, bulls, jacks or other animals which it is not desirable to allow the freedom of a yard or field. It is made -by setting two strong posts, shown at A and B in the illustration, firmly into the ground 50 yards or less apart as is convenient. Fasten a strong rope to the top of the post at0 and have it pass over pulley D at the top of the other post and extend down nearly to the ground with a weight E fastened to the end near the foot of post A. Place a pully F on the rope- and to it attach a short strap with a ring, chain or rope at the end. Pro- vide a. swivel just below the pulley so the rope or chain will not become twist- ed and thereby shortened. Tie a stallion short so he will not get his feet over the halted strap in rearing, etc, „ If lie lies dOwn to "wallow" the weight E is drawn up, giving the needed slack to. the halter while he is down but keeps it tight and out of the way, drawing it up again as soon as he rises. It gives him a chance - to run hack and forth ahd take _exercise with- out reguiring the time of an attendant to lead him. A covered ptilley must be used at D, or a strong large iron staple drivenlastride the rope just in front of the pulley D for withal° shield or staple to stop it the pulley F could be drawn up .1 AN EXERCISE MACHINE. -- to D and the rope thrown off. Bulls can be given exercise with the same machine but should be tied with enough slack to idlow them to lie down without . having; to draw -up weight E as they are very likely tcy want to lie down and are not apt to get their feet Over the halter. .This device is easily constructed and cheap ;. time spent in exercising a horse would soon build one and it is certainly much better than to give the animaLs no exercise or to confine them to a very small paddock as is often done by own- ers. A Yankee Woman's Scheme. Even' busy woman these warm days finds that towards evening she has "too much foot in her shoes." The wise, of course, buy larger shoes in summer than in winter to comfortably provide for 4he inevitable expansion the feet under- go during the dog days. Laced boots are stylish, but are looked at askance by girls and women who belong to the work -a -day world, for it requires more time to lace -a boot than to button one. The laced shoe is far more comfortable in summer than any other, and the ease it allows the foot fully compensates for the extra time it takes in lacing: it up. -A Yankee woman who is "doing" New York laces her shoes up loosely in the morning, tying the laces in a double bow knot. In the evening the laces are taut and her stule fits snugly, but comfort- ably. The Yanke&woman's scheme is worth trying. There' is nothing destroys the pain 'caused by a tight shoe that has to be kept on except the toothache. The greater misery includes the nullifies the les.—Nev York Herald. Snanish Game of Quoits. The Spanish game of quoits—rayeula— is played with unpierced disks of iron about three inches in 'diameter—tejo. The hubs consigt of two curved pieces of wrought iron of an oval shape, termin- ating in a point, which is stuck in the ground. The larger of these pieces, :he prila, is placed in front of the other, the paletin. To strike the pah, AVith the quoit counts one, while to strike the paletin, which is more difficult, counts two. ••••).• A Watering the Garden. The water ueed in the watering of either flowers or vegetables during the summer is usually fresh water from the well, or water from a *Astern or tank. In hot, dry weather, an occasional watering doe' much to refresh plants and help on their growth. There is another source of water supply, however, which is even more convenient, and the wa- ter derived from this source will answer the purpose much better than will that taken from either cistern or well. We refer to the kitohen wastes, such as scrubbing water, washing water, dish tester, soap -suds, etc. There ie a suffident quantity of these dump- ed into the kitchen sink every day to keep the garden well supplied. This waste, or dirty water, supplies, the plants with every- thing that the water obtained from other sources can supply, and much more also, in- asmuch as no small amount of plant food is contained hi the refuse which the water holds in solution or suspension. We in- variably notice that when soapsuds, dish- water, and suoh like, are poured out every day in the same plane for some time, tee grass and other vegetation around aeon a place growe very vigoroui.ly. Thie is owiog to the plant food contained in the arm pates or dirty water. If, then, this kitchen wastn'- answere every purpose that other water doe, if it is more convenient to apply and suppliee plants with additional food,why not apply it to the garden rather than let it rune into the waste pipe, and thus save the trouble of having to draw a fresh supply which will not answer the purpose nearly so well? Hot Water Bags. The efficacy of hot water in inflammatory conditions oan hardly be over -rated. To a limited extent its value has long been known. Our mothers and grandmothers made me of woollen cloths dipped in hot water in some forms of inflammation. At present the worth of this remedy in almost all forms of pain is generally recognized by the medical profession. Hot cloths, however, are not convenient of application in many oases. They are apt to wet the clothing, and they soon cool and require repeated dipping. The rubber bag is in every respect superior. Once brought to the proper temperature, the heat islong, retained, it ie neat, and in every way easy of application. Every family in the country, as well as in the city, should have at least one ready for any emergency. Says the Medical Mirror: Ae a profession, we do not eufficiently appreciate hot water bage. The amount of comfort in one of them cannot be known ex- cept from actual experience. There should be, if possible, half -a -dozen bags of widow, sizes in the sick room, easy of access and ready fetus.. Rubber bags are also of great value in cold weather for persons of weak cdroulation. They are much superior as foot -warmers to heated soapstone.. To many an aged per- son sub a bag placed against the back in bed is exceedingly agreeable and soothing. The same bag may also be of great service in canes of hie, fever, if partly filled with pounded ice or ioe-cold water. Placed along the spine and at the base of the brain or around the head, they -rapidly reduce the temperature and soothe the patient. Gener- ally, however, ice -bags are made of thinner and more delicate rubber. A writer in the magazine above mentioned says: " Onoe when I had gone 10 miles into the country, and had happened to carry with me one of these little bags I brought it into immediate requisition on a patient with a temperature of180 °, whose head was riot- ing in pain. Before I left the house he declared he would not take $10,000 for the relief pro- duced by the ample rubber bag half-filled with ice." Prudence in Mourning. The economy which Is too strong to be disturbed by grief or bereavement is so akin to avarice that no one feel. any self- reproach for holding it up to ridicule, al- though the circumstances may have to do with the saddest of events. Thera was once an eccentric old lady who lived in one of the seaport towns of New England, and who was renowned alike for her oddities and for what her neighbors called her " nearneen." She was a widow, and had inherited nota little property from her bus - band, which she carefully handled, and which increased in her care. It was made a matter of reproaoh that she did not scoot a tombstone to her husband, but she always said that she could not afford such an expense. In course of time, however, the widow made up her mind to have a tablet, and ac- cordingly went to Boston to select it. She visited one marble ysrd after another, but for a long time could find nothing cheap enough to suit her. At last she came upon a large, handsome slab which was set aside to be out down. "You see it was spoiled," th* stone -cut- ter explained. "We began it lfor a man named Mark, but his wife changed her mind by the time we had got so much of the name on, and there is the wholeslab spoiled." "1,11 take it off your hands," the wid- ow said, promptly, if you will let me have it reasonable." "Oh, I'll let you have it very cheap, to save the bother of having it out over. But what can you do with it ?" "111 use it," she answered, and at. last, proceeding to go into the disouesion of the price. When she had at last beaten the stone- cutter down to an absurdly low figure, the widow bought the slab. " There'" she said, "now what I want you to dol. to put "the perfect man " af- ter that word in the same sort of letters, and then the name and date oan go just there." She indicated to the astonished stone- cutter with ber long finger the disposition of the inscription, and thus it came about that in a oerain well-keown cemetery of her native oity her husband sleeps under a marble whereupon the world is admonished to "Mark the perfect man." Pay of Authors. It is stated by an English journal that for the serial rights of " Treasure Islend," Mr. R. L, Stevenson received about £120. 1 Ten times that amount would not purchase a tale of equal length from his pen to -day. For the serial rights of "She," Mr. H. Rider Haggard got £300, and a aimilar amount was paid to Mr. Hall Caine for "The Demister." For short stories Mr. Rudyard Kipling is still &et, though' Mr. J. M. Barrie is running him close and it is predicted will take the lead. Mr. Robert Buchanan and Mr. Jerome K. Jerome are else mentioned as receiving' large sums for their work. But the total. for book and serial rights received by novelists to -day are far below the princely sums that were paid to Scott, George Eliot, Dickens,Thack- eray, Reade and Wilkie Collins. For " Remota " George Eliot received £7,000, and might have had £3,000 more, but for conscientious regard for art. As there are many versions of that famous transaction, we may give the facts. The novelist agreed to write a story for the Cornhill, for which she was to be paid £10,000. It was, however, to run through sixteen numbers instead of the usual twelve. Of this arrangement she did not approve, and all the arguments of her friends could hot overcome her objectione. Finally she threw £3,000 off the price to carry her point, a rare instance of self sacrifice for the sake of art. • Lord Beaconsfield, it should be mentioned, received prinnely terms for "Endymion." "He wanted money," writes Mr. Froude, in his bio- graphy of Beaconsfield in the "Queen's Prime Ministers" series, " end it brought him ten thousand pounds." • —By the will of the late Mrs. Catherine Knelt!, the Stratford hospital will get $1,000, and the proposed house of eefuge in that city a like amount. —The grape crop in Essex county, will be the largest known for years.
