Charles W. Coleman, in Harper's Bazar, THE SLEEPLESS KID. EY O. II. LEWIS. "If thar is one thing," said the old cattleman with a strain of affection and respect in his tone, "which endears this yore Jack Booth to me, speshul, it is the ca'm uncompromisia' way he lines up on what he deems is his dooty. "But where Jack shines exceedin' is when you opens a new game onto him. It is just beautiful, as a mere example to men, to see the confidence with which that Jack gets a stack of chips an' sets in agin it. One hot afternoon Enright an Doc Poets is away about some cattle or something, but the rest of us is hold in' down the camp we're sorter hangin' an revolvin' 'round the postoffice, a waitin' for Old Monte an' the stage. Here she comes, final, a-rattlin' an' a creakin', that old drunkard Monte a crackin' of his whip, the six bosses on the canter, an' the whole business puttie' on more dog thau a Mexican officer of revenoo. When the stage drors up, Old Monte throws off the mail bags, gets down an' opens the door, but nobody gets out. " 'Well, I'm a coyote!' says Monte, a heap disgusted, 'wharever is the female?' "Then we all peers into the stage an' thar's jest a baby, with maybe a ten months' start down this vale of tears, inside, an' no mother nor nuthin' along. Jack Booth, jest as I says when I begins, reachea in an' gets him. The baby ain't sayin' nuthin' an' sorter takes it out in smiliu' on Jack. " 'lie knows me, for a hundred dol lars,' says Jack, mighty ecstatic. 'I'm an Apache if he ain't allowin' he know3 me. Wharever did you get him, Monte?' " 'Give me a drink,' says Monte, trackin' along into the Early Bird; 'this yere makes me sick.' After he gets about four fingers of carnation under his belt he turns in an' explains as how the mother starts along in the stage all right enuf from Tucson. The last time he sees her, he says, is at the . last station back some twenty miles in the hills, at dinner, an' be s'poses all the time she's inside along of her progeny until jest now. " 'I don't reckon,' says Old Monte, lookiu' gloomy like, 'asbo.v that womern is aimin' to saw this yere infant onto the stage company none?' " 'Don't addle your whisky frettin' about the company,' says Booth, a-settin' of the kid on the bar while we all crowds in for a look at him; 'the camp'll play this hand for the infant an' the company ain't goiu' to be in it a little bit.' " I wish Enright and Peets was yere,' says Cherokee Hall, 'to be heard hereon, 'cause I shore deems this a grave occa sion. Yete we finds ourselves possessed of an onexpected infant of tender years, an' the question nacherai enuf now is, whatever'll we do with it?' "Let's maverick it,' says Dan Boggs, who is a mighty good sort of a mau, but onthinkful. " 'No,' says Cherokee, 'its mother'll come hoppin' along to-morry a-yellin', you see! This yere is sabed all easy enuf. This old sot Monte has jest done drove off an' left her planted some'rs up the trail an' she'll come alcng shore in time.' " 'Meantime,' says Booth, 'the infant's got to be took care of, to which dooty I volunteers. Thar's a tenderfoot a-sleep-ia' ia the room back of the Red Light, GOLDSBORO, N. C, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1801. an' he's that "femmatj an' c(Teet he's got a sure-nuf bed an' some goose-ha'r pillers; which the same I do yereby confiscate to public use to take care of this yearlin'. Is the sentiment pleasin'?' " 'Jack's scheme is right,' says Boggs, 'an' for that matter he's allers right. Let the shorthorn go sleep under a roesquito bush ; it'll do him good a whole lot ; foj sech is .life iu the far West.' " Tin some dober.ome of this play,' says Cherokee. 'Small infants is might? mysterous people, an' thar ain't no livin' man was ever onto their game an' able to foresee their needs j-et. Do you allow you can take care of this young one, Jack? Be you equal 1o it?' " 'Take care of a small baby like this,' says Jack, plenty scornful, 'as ain't weighin twenty pounds averdupols! Well, it'll be some funny now if I can't! I could take care of him if he's four times as big. All I asks is for you all to stand by iu crisises, an' back the play, an' you can go make sfde bets wre"ll come out winners on the deal.' "'I ain't absolute shore, says the postmaster, 'beia' some out of practice with infants myse'f, but jedgin by his lcokia' smooth an' silky I offers $30 even he ain't weaned none yet; an we leave it to the mother when she comes.' " 'I won't bet none on his beiu' weaned complete says Booth, 'but I'll hang up fifty dollars even he drinks outeu a bottle as successful as Old Monte.' " 'I'll jest go you once,' says the post master, 'if I lose. It's fifty dollars eveu he grows contemptuous at a bottle and disdains it.' "Well, we all talks it over an' decides Booth is to nurse the infant, au' at once proceeds to make a procession for the tenderfoot's bed, which he resigns with out a struggle. Cherokee Hall an' Boggs then goes over to the corral an' lays for a goat which was a mother, to milk it a whole let. The goat was mighty reluctant an' refooses to enter into the spirit of the thing, but they makes their points right along, au after a frightful time, which now an' then de mands the assistance of a large part of the camp, comes back with more'n a pint. " 'That's al) right,' says Booth. 'Now go out an' tell the barkeep to give you a pint bottle. We'll have this yere game a-winnin' in two minutes.' "So Booth gets his bottle an' fills her up with goat's milk an' makes a stopper outen cotton cloth an' molasses for the young one to dror it through. About this time the infant sets up a yell an' ain't peaceful agin until Booth gives him his six-shooter to play with. "'Which shows my confidence in him,' says Booth. 'There's only a few people left I care to pass my gun to.' "Well, Booth gets along with him first-rate, a-feedin' ot him the goat's milk, which he goes for with avidity, tharby nettin' Booth $50 from the post master. He has Boggs build a fire so he can keep the milk warm, an' is that earnest he don't even go for no supper; jest has it brougt to him. " 'Somebody '11 have to ride herd on this yere foundling all night, I reckon,' says Boggs to Jack when he's bringin' him things. " 'I s'pose, most likely, we will have to make the play thataway,' says Booth. " 'All risht,' says Boggs. 'You know me and Cherokee. We're in this any time you says.' "So a passel of us continues along with Booth and the infant until maybe it's about second drink time iu the night. The infant don't raise the war yell once jest takes it out in goat's milk au' in laughin' an' playin' with Booth's gun. " 'Excuse me, gents,' finally says Booth, mighty dignified, 'but I've been figgerin' this thing an' rather thitiks it's time to put this yere young one to sleep. So if you all will now withdraw, I'll see how near I comes to beddin' of him down for the night. Stay within whoopin' distance, though, 60 if he tries to stampede or takes to millin' I can have he'p.? "So we all lines out an' leaves Jack an' the infant, au' turns in oa faro an poker an' similar devices which was bein' waged in the saloon. 'Maybe it's an hour when Jack comes in. " 'Boggs.' he says, 'jest step in an' play my hand a minute, while I goe3 over an' adjourns them frivolities in the dance hall. It looks like this yere camp speshul tumultuous to-night.' "Bogs does an' Jack proceeds to the Baile house next door an' states the exse. " I don't want to oasettle bus'mes,' he layg, aor disturb the currents of trade, but this yere 'young one I'm re sponsible for, in back of the Red Light, gets that engaged in the sounds of these yere revels, it don't look like he's ever goin' to sleep none. So if you all will jest call on the last waltz an' wind her up for to-night, it'll be regarded. The kid's mother'll shore be here in the mornin', which will alter the play all around, an' matters can then go back to old lines.' " 'Enuf said,' says Jim Hamilton, who runs the dance hall. 'You can gamble this dance house ain't layiu' down none on a plain duty, an' to-night's shinduj closes right yere. All promenade to the bar. We'il take a drink on the house an' quit an' call it a day.' "So then J-'-k comes back mighty grave with his cares, an' relieves Boggs, who's on watch, straldle of a chair, a-cycin of the iufaut, who, a-setting' up ain a goose ha'r pillar, along of his goat's milk and Booth's gun, is likewise a-eyein' of Boggs. " 'He's a-way up good infant Jak, says Boggs, givin' up his seat. " ' You can bet your life he's a good infant,' says Jack, 'but it seems mighty like he don't aim to turn in an' slumber none. Maybe goat's milk is too invig oratin' for him, an' keep 3 him awake." "About another hour goes oa au' out comes Jack into the saloon agin. " 'I don't aim to disturb you all,' he says, 'but, boys, if you'll jest close tho games yere an shet up the store I'll take it as a personal favor. He cm hear the click of the chips, an' it's too nuny for him. Don' go 'way jest close up an' set 'round quiet.' "So we does as Jack says; closes the games an' shets up the camp, an' then sets 'round in our chairs an' keeps quiet, a,-wait in' for that infant to turn in. A half-hour later Jack comes out agin. '"It ain't no use, gems,' he says, goin' back of the bar an' gettiu' a big drink, 'that child is onto us an won't nave it. You can gamble ne's fixed it up with himse'f he ain't goin to sleep none to-night. I allow it's because he's among rank strangers, an' figgers it's a good safe play to stand watch for him se'f. " 'I wonder couldu't we sing him to sleep,' says Cherokee Hall. " 'Xothin' agin makin' a try, says Jack, some desperate, wipin' his lips after his drink. " 'S'pose we all goes an' give him "The Dyin' Ranger" an' "Sandy Land" for :v hour or so, an' see,' say3 Boggs. "So in we trails. Cherokee lays down on one side of the infant an' Booth on the other, an' the rest of us take chairs an' sets 'round. We starts in an' sings him all we knows an' we shorely keeps it up for hours; an' all the time that child a-settm" an" a-starin", sleepless as owls. The last I recollects is Bogg's voice in 'The Dyin' Ranger.' With his saddle for a pillow. An' his gun across his breast, Far away from his dear old Texas, We had him laid down to rest. "The next thing there's a whoop an' yell outside. We all wake3 up all ex cept the infant, who's wide awake all along an' yere it is four o'clock in the mornin' au' the mother has come. Comes over from the last station on a speshul buckboard, where that old iLebriate Monte drove off an' left her. Well, son, we was willin' an' glad to see her. An' for that matter, sp'ittin' even, so was the kid." Kansas City Star. A Sea Monster. A queer marine monster was captured by P. Johnson, a Hope Creek gill fisher man, the other day. None of the old experienced fishermen, who have cast their nets in all waters, from Maine to Florida, had ever seen anything like it or were able to name it. The animal was about five feet long, and in shape somewhat resembled a toad fish. Two rows of teeth adorned its ponderous jaws, which, when fully ajar, would admit an ordinary bucket. Two dart-shaped horns were on its head. About midway be tween its head and tail were two pockets, or pouche3.that could be opened or closed at will, and situated between these pouches and the monster's mouth were two arms, not unlike the forearm and hand of a man, arranged to pass the food from th2 pouches to the mouth. The pockets were well stocked with "moss bunkers" and other small fish when it was captured. No one ha3 been found who can tell to what genus this aquatic curiosity belongs. Phil&MpTiia Press.

Cim.S AS "XEGRO MIKSTRELS.' The girls of Thomaston have distin guished themselves by giving a negro minstrel show that almost equaled that of the Bowdoin students. They had four "eudmeu" and the usual variety of local "gas." They played to a great crowd under the apt name of the "Smoked Pearls." As the Thomaston Herald ingeniously says: "It shows what the young ladies of Thomaston can do when they try." Larislon Me.) Journal. IllOn PRIESTESS OF TIIEOSOPHV. This is the way Lady Caithness, Mine. Blavatsky's successor, was bedecked at a recent reception ia Paris. The diamond cross which she wore was the most amazing thing in the room, and was as great a curiosity as the Mozaim set of gems in the French crown jewels. She wore an olive velvet dress, embroidered with steel. She had "rivers" of dia monds edging the upper part of her corsage, the stomacher and the sleeves, and on her head a countess's coronet, with a pearl on each spike really as large as a pigeon's egg. She ha3 a large for tune, and has just iuherited $2,000,000 more. New York Journa1. OVERDOIXO PHYSICAL EXERCISE. An expert on training asserts that wo men during the last three or four years have developed a dangerous tendency to overdo physical exercise. Of course wo men, as well as men, should regularly ex ercise, but it is most important that it be judiciously done. For example, the good effects of brisk walking for a mile night and morning are obvious. If the woman is strong, horseback riding will prove in vigorating; but the women who take regular daily walks of from five to ten miles, and remain for hours in the sad dle, on a big, powerful, hard-gaited trot ter, are invariably (in this country) the slight, nervous, wiry little creatures, who have not a pound of flesh to lose. Con sequently, this wear and tear on their strength and nerves will, in time, cause a collapse, especially if this violent exer cise has been adopted after living for' years a life of indolence. Could stout women be persuaded to overcome the feeling of extreme fatigue which they ex perience after their first long walks, and continue them regularly and at a rapid gait, as near running a? possible, for a few week, the burden of superfluous flesh would soon be reduced, and their former activity return. The trouble is the wrong women do the exercising. Do not carry it to extremes. Cut down your walk to two or three miles a day. Take your ride in the morning, and limit it to an hour. You cannot get too much fresh air, so drive and stroll out-of-doors as much as you can, dutdo not wear out your body and bring premature lines into your face by excessive . exercise. Detroit Free Press. FASUIOX NOTES. The newest parasols are made of shot gauze with Chantilly flouncings. Tulle, though out of fashion for dresses, is very much used in millinery. Cheviot and camel's hair are the favorite materials for traveling dresses. Some bonnets are merely composed ol the triple classic band trimmed with flowers. A material much employed is chiffon or mousselinede soie or tulle, with a gold metal ribbon edge. White chamois skin gloves, with long, white gauntlets, are quite the fashionable thing for young women. Sailor hats, very dainty and chic, are shown, made of shirred Point d'Esprit nets in black, white, gray and tan 2olor. Bonnets, even black ones, are now tied wth white satin strings, made not of ribbon, but of satin twill cut on the cross and rnexsuring just an inch and a half wide. Sleeves are smaller for day wear, but remain as high and full as ever for even ing. Puffs of lace, gauze, or tulle, either jetted, spangled or embrodered, being the most fashionable. The new bonnets which are made up and trimmed show a great many novel ties; the flowers stand erect over the face in many instauce3, and bows in nearly every case are arranged with upstanding loops. Pretty frocks for small girls and boys are cf washable fabric? Scotch ging- r a'Jis iu fine checks or stripes, Chambrays f plain color, cordeJ dimity, nainsook 4nd ribbed pique. They are trimmed with, white cambric ruffles neatly em broidered, insertions, smocking, tucks md needle worked scallops done on tho garment. Young girls wear narrow ribbon or teivet much in their hair, at present, passing it generally around the cluster of rolls or curls and tying it on the top of the head iu a pert little bow; or bring it from the sides high up above the ears ind place a rosette attached to one end it the si ie. Metui bands are sometimes to be seen with the fancy silks. Why Fruits Change Color. On October 25, last year, I told the great family of tbe curious why leaves change from a dark or light emerald green to yellow, scarlet, red, brown and many intermediate tints. Below will be found the best opinions of leading scientists as to why most fruits undergo similar changes during the ripening pro cess: 1. It is known that as fruits come to maturity there is a process of absorp tion of material from the tree's sap, as well as cell-growth within the fruit it self. 2. That the absorption of oxygen and the giving off of carbonic acid gas is an action strictly analogous to the respira tion of animals. '.I. That there is a transformation of vegetable fibre into sugar and water. The rapidity and per fection of this process depends principally upon the amount of sunshine to which the fruit is exposed while it is going on. The outer membranes of most all fruits assume a positive color when the ripening change is coming ou, but why one plum is green and another blue, oae apple red and another yellow, the most rigid re search has failed to discover; but that the primary changes in the color of each particular species of fruit is due to the reasons given above there is not one least doubt. When fruit has turned all its fibre to sugar and water the absorption of oxygen must be checked by cutting off light and air; or, if allowed to con tinue, the next chemical change involves tho decomposition of the sugar, snd the fruit becomes "rotten." The action of frost upon fruit is to crystallize all of its contained moisture. If this can again be converted into sugar by a very gradual process the sugar of the fruit is found to be uninjured. St. Louis Republic. The Chinese Book. The arrangement of the Chinese book is as follows: Beginning at the end, ac cording to our Western ideas, we find in the upper left-haud corner of the cover, the outside title. This is often printed in "seal" characters. Next (going back wards, according to our ideas) we find the title-page. In tbe middle is the title in large characters. The year of tho reigning Emperor is put in the upper part of the left column; below is gen erally the name of the printing establish ment where the book is printed or pub lished. In Christian publications the top of the right-hand column is filled witii the date, according to our calculation: "Jesus descended to the world, one thousand eight hundred ninetieth year." Below thi3 we often find the author's name. The next pages, are as a rule, filled up with prefaces, introduction and index. Then comes the ordinary letter press. The characters read from tho top to the bottom of the column, and the columns read from the right to the left. Paper and Press. There is a movement in New York looking to the keeping open of all the churches in that city every day in the week. 9&H9SS Absolute y Pure. A t ie. n. of tirtar biking powder.
