TliDilour s iftly opunuit and a timid Ml of u girl entcrcil. She might have lioon fifteen and slits might have Imtm twenty. As aiiiiittcrol fact Kitty Fan Hhawe was just eighteen ami her own mistress in the eyes of the law. 'Well, Miss Kitty," began the judge, in hia liru-ti-uu businesa way, "I so cured a decree in court this morniag which entitles you to the iiossessivm of your farm in 8aitlick townsnip. "Oh, I uin so happy, Mr. Hutlerl 1 inn so happy that I have got my old home back, nnd that papa's will ha not Veen broken." "Tut, tut, little girl! You ought to lie sorry. You couldn't sell the entire eighty acres of land for enough money to' pay the costs of tho court." "Oh, dear! you frighten me. What il the coses amount to, Mr. ltutlerV" "Your proportion of the court costs i 1(1.1 and my fee is 50 total 215. "Then I can never pay it, and will have to give up after all. I have been able to save but 35 out of my wages during the whole year, and 1 ha I hoped that that would pay all ex penses." And Kitty Fnnshawe indulged in a violent lit of weeping. "Dry your tears, little one," and .Tudjre Butler's voice grew tremulous: "don't cry any more. I won't make any charge for my services; bo there's 50 of it paid oil' at once." "Anil 1 will pay the costs of court, and the young lily can reimburse me when ahe is able," spoke up a young man who had been an interested lis tener. "Miss Fanshawe, this is Fcnton liar clay, a student of mine. 1 thought you were acquainted." The young peopla bowed to each other. Will Mr. Knife, your guardian, ad vance you the money to discharge the clerk's costs and have the decree regii- larly recorded?" asked .Indue Htitlcr. "I do not think ho will."' "Then accept Mr. Barclay's offer. 1 1 n is not wealthy, but hu litis tho money nnd can spare it for a year or two until you are able to repay him." "But 1 doubt the propriety of taking it." "Nonsense, n'nsen.:. little one. It is simply a business transaction." Miss Kitty tried in vain to protest further, but IV (S i IT judge would have none of it, a .: I i i half an hour he had her signature to an agreement to pay Mr. Fenion Barclay tl' in four semi-annual payments of ll.--1 each, with interest at l per cent. After Miss I'ansliawo had again and again thanked her young benefactor, with smiles and blushes contending (or thu mastery, she withdrew. Of course the story of Feu' on Bar clay's generosity toward the liii ndlcss girl got out in the village, and it didn't take the gossips long to decide that he and Kitty were to be married. Sooth lo say, the decision reached by the gossips was not very displeasing to either of them, and almost b-l'ore they knew it Fenion Ban ' ty and Kitty Fanshawo were engage I. . Almost simultaneous with Mr. Barclay's ad mi sioii to tho bar they were married. When the young ban ister visited tho farm he saw how valueless his real es tate .security was, and laughingly said that he might to have accepted the scuii-anniial payments, w hieh be had ("I ti -el to do. lie made what he re garded as a good hai'train when he 'iiund a in ill w ho would pay (lie taxes mi the farm for the privilege of occu pying il.

But in tho lie atttiine some wonderful changes had taken place in Ferry county. Tho Hocking Valley railroad had penetrat ed Hs southern border, and the town of New Strailsvillc sprang into exis tence. Mrs. Barclay's farm adjoined Hie new town, and it was not long un til it win discovered that it contained the most valuable coal mines in all that portion of the Monday creek val ley. A long story of negotiation can he told very briefly. A mining com pany purchased the eighty-acre tract from Mrs. Barclay at tho price or $ 1 25 per acre. To the young couple : S I . was an immense fortune. To-day Mr. I'en on B-iivlay is a prosperous attor ney in tint ham. and occasionally tells his intimate friends how he came to many a fortune.

Fat the horse upon the neck, examine the harness care fully, lirst on one side then on tho other, speak encouraging'y while do ing so, I hen jump into the w agon and give the word go- generally he will obey. 2. A teamster in Maine says he can start the worst, balky horse by taking liiin out of the shafts and mak ing him go round in a circle. If the lir.st dance docs not cure him, the second will bo mire to do it. Ii. To cure a balky horse, simply placo your hand over the horse's nose and shut olT the wind till he wants to move j then let him go. 4. The brains of horses seem to entertain but one idea at a time ; thus continued whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve. If you can by any means give him a new sul'ied to think of yon will have no trouble in starting him. A simple remedy is to take, a couple of turns of stout twine around the fore leg, just below the knee, and tie in a bow knot. At tho first check he will go dancing off, and after going a short distance you can get out ami remove tho string to prevent injury in your further drive. That's it, exactly. Give him a new idea a new subject to think of. But just there is whore the trouble comes in. A thoroughbred balky horse will stick to his hobby as pertinaciously as a modern politician, and it cannot be gotten out of him long enough to start him. At his own sweet will and pleasure he will go, and not before. 4 Slow Itoad. A railroad in Maine, running out of Portland, used to be noted for the slow ness of itstrains.and became the sub ject of many humorous stories. One is told of a woman who bought a ticket ona day for herself and a half-ticket for her boy. On arriving at the terminus of the road, twenty miles from Port- land, the conductor came to the woman j am! told her he would have to charge "ull fare for her boy. "tVhy, how is this?" she asked. "Madam, your son has b come of age since we started." 'lt ll'.MNfi Li liHTI R. tin i ruin SniTil'if s Witnt's.' Hy A Missi.nmry. Wives and Shves Immolate 1 at tho Graves of Ohiufs in Afnci. ttov. Ferdinand Merlini, a mission ary, has come homo to secure funds to establish new missions among the Fetish worshippers of tho west coast of Africa. lie has spent seven years among the native tribes, and has seen many exhibitions of their barbarous rites. "It is a mystery," he said, to a New York reporter, "to our mis sionaries on tho Slave and (iold ('oasis, and along tho Niger, why these natives indulge in such hideous cruelty as the offering of human sacrifice. It can only be accounted for by their slavish allegiance to their fot ish priests, because, naturally, all the 'J'l.Ui 10,00') natives in our mission territories are of mild disposition, and our missionaries during the reign of (ineo, late monarch of Dahomey, .succeeded in gen- erally suppressing the barbarous rites, j But King (Jrery, his successor, is a slave to fetishism, and makes lav i.sh sacrifice. of human life. "These sacrifices." Father Merlini continued, "aggregate many hundreds of poisons annually.

These ceremonies have a double purpose--Unit of paeily ing Ogtin, the go-l of war, and other deities, and also th.it of recalling the nnuiojy of dead kings and sending them sii'ipliea of men and provisi ms. 'I'lie:e nts a belief among the savages that a man passing into the lutitre life takes with him all thai is placed in his grave. When a king dies all his women, slaves, and ministers ol state must follow him. "Nol l ing since, when the king of ! I'orio-N'ovo died of poismi, administer ed to him by a rival claimant of the throne, his funeral lasted nine days. !A considerable number of victims I were sacrificed every night in the let ish fon at, destined for tho "(ireat Customs." The missionaries Iroio their neighboring dwelling could hear the erics of the sufferers, who e muti laled bodies were seen every mornin.r in the piililic square of the town ar ranged in lines. "At S o'clock on the morning of tho ninth day the new king and his suite, preceded by his fetish priests, moved to the wood where tho grave of tho late king had beed dug. Tho sacriliro I began. Seven slaves were shun, ami their blood was mixed with earth to form it kind of plaster, w ith which the grave was lined The seven heads o' t he victims, w ith provisions of alt kind were depos ted at the bottom; the body i f tho king was then lowered. Next were seen approaching nine of his women in their brightest colored garments, purposely intoxicated. They passed through the throng, casting smiles on every side. When they reached the edge of the open grave Hi y were made to kneel down. Then they were stunned with a blow en tho head, before they had any suspicion of what was going to happen, and thrown, still alive, upon the body of their royal spouse, F.arth was finally Hung in to cover the pile of dead and living. "At a distance of a few steps a stake was next prepared, and there the king's ministers wero to be burnt. But these astute persons had dressed up some slaves in their robes of oiiice, and the substitutes were burnt in their nmt wi,iU, they themselves escaped, .-Fanaticism makes brutes of men. when I was o i the battle liel.l of Tel- i'l-Kebir, two years ago, I saw .Moham medans slaughter the Christians like logs from sheer hatred of their re. ligion.

The .sick, infants, and thu aged are thrown into the llames, While the robust are chained and dragged to market. These markets of human beings are princi pally along tho left bank of the White Nile. It is computed that, the slave trade takes every year from their native country a million souls, and that eight hundred tho'isaml of these poor creatures die on the road from exhaustion and bad treatment." What Different Cliius Denote. A sharp indentation immediately above tho chin shows good understand ing. A pointed chin isa sign of craftiness, wisdom and discretion. A soil, fat, double l iiin shows epicii risin and love of sensual pleasures of all sorts; it also indicates an indolent temperament. We never see such chins in persons of an energetic, rest less nature. Charles .lames Imix, who was exce-sively indolent, had this chin even in youth. A Hat chin shows a cold, hard na ture; a small chin indicates weakness, want of will pow er and cowardice. A retrealingchin is a sign of silliness nnd if the brow is shallow , of imbecility. Where the space between the nose and the red part of the lip is short and I very sharply cut it indicates refinement ! and delieaev of iicrct'iitioii, but not much power no force of intellect: where this space is unusually short, it denotes silliness and weakness of pur pose A rathei long but nol Hat iij per . lip, especially where the serpentine : line of l he middle of tin- moiilii is much defined, and tic middle of Hie lip droops to the lower lip and is very llcxible, denotes an eloipient person. j We s "e this liiriii of upper lip in the bust of Deuioslhclies, the greatest of 'irccian orators, in Cicero, whose do.

Almost till faces of great iriininals have this defect, combined jwilh massive jaws and high cheek 1 bones, which last delect is, both J.ava ter and Delicti (a great French w riter nil the subject of physiognomy) tell us a sign of rapacity, i A round chin with a dimple in it, ; denotes kindliness and benevolence, a , lender and unselilsh nature. In a , very massive double chin the dimple I increases the quality ol love of sensual 1 pleasures. A square and masiive chin shows si rong perseverance and tleler i mined will. i;ii'v. rieriryiiien's ('lollies. It has been decided by those who have been discussing the sublime sub ject of clergymen's dollies that there s no authority whatever For the clergy wearing the .style of ( lollies they do. Clergy men's clothes are sombre and solemn looking, so mm h so that an assemblage of clergymen is a dark and gloomy affair. Their dress may be said to bo the antithesis of mourning paper, for while mourning paper is white, edged with black, tho clerical suit is black, edged with white. There can be no denying that a clergyman in the orthodox dress is a melancholy looking individual, and his spasmodic efforts to be cheerful are always h. Id in check by the solemnity of his en casings. Why clergymen should not dross like other people we have no means of knowing. The only reason able hypothesis is that they wear a dis tinctive dress in order that ) pie w ho aro given to the use of rash words may know when a clergyman is present and may repress their objurations. Doctors are a distinctive class and so are law yers, but neither doctors nor lawyers wear a distinctive style of dress. They dress pretty much like other people, only m most cases not so well. You can tell lawyers by the hags they carry over their shoulders, and it is therefore hardly correct to say that they are not labelled. But they do not all dress precisely the same way, as the clergy men do, namely, with black trousers, black frock coat, white collar and necktie and black top hat. Turoulu T hy rum. I.Ike His Honk.

"Do ladies smoke much now?" asked a reporter of the New York Mail unit '.'.iv .v.v of a prominent retail cigar and tobacco dealer uptown. "Well, you may be surprised if I told you bow many lady customers I have," bo answered. "I have been in Brjad way fifteen years, selling thu best llavored tobacco in tho wold, and to day my trade with ladies is greater 4 ban ever before, and 1 am proud to say that many of them are high-toned." "Do they come in person and select their Weeds V" "As a general rule they do not. Those who come pretend oft times that they are buying for their husbands, whom they regret buy bad llavored cig:rs or cigarettes from Smith, a few blocKS away, and they want to get some for theiu w ith a nice odor. I euler into Die scheme and show some mild weeds to them for their husbands. They never take Mroiig smelling cigarettes or cigars. But most of them send an order by a servant for what they want and I fill it without ipicstions. Actresses smoke a good deal. They come in person and generally try several cigarettes to get suited. They are good paying custom ers and never grumble about the cost of the finest Havana filled eigare'tes." "What kind of tobacco do woman mostly smoke V" "The Turkish tobacco, imported here and then doctored and made into cigarette-. Some ol t ln-iii prefer the cigar ettes with nice i u ml h pieces to them, but they are beginners. A smoker of several years likes the taste of tho weed in her mouth, and never desires a moiiilipiei e." "Do they ever smoke si mng cigars or pipes V" "I'.v en the oldest .smokers anmng the ladies rarely try a strong cigar, and pipes are out of the ipie.tion entirely. Ynii see those IVi'siall pipe bowls there ill the window, with tubes running from them 't Well, I s.-ll a great many of them to gentlemen and not a few to ladies. Theso oriental pipes, as they are supposed to be, arc really manufac tured in Bohemia and Austria, and M-iit to Asia Minor, Persia and Turkey, ami from there imported ti A merit n. They have water in the large bottom bowl, and on top a meer-chaum bowl where I lie tobacco is placed.

These Persian pipes, though, are most ly allelic, I hy artists and students, es pecially if they have traveled any in l'.iirope." "II looks as if smoking would have a tendency to weaken the (air devotees and make them sleepy and languid like the dreamy Odalisques of the Orient!" "Not so. It rather excites them like it stimulant iiml while the effect lasts their eyes sparkle and their animation is remarkable All women who smoke, its a rule, drink beer, but all women who drink beer do not smoke. The majority, however, can smoke who love beer, if they do not, and it will not affect their nervous system. But I am in the tobacco line and cannot see tho deleterious effects, if there really are any, which scientilic. men iisserl result from the use of the weed If ladies want to smoke cigarette, I am too gallant to deny them; if they desire secrecy, I am too discreet to mention their names; and if they pay good round prices, 1 am not rich enough to refuse their custom." duties' iitliergraili).
