I gave him one of the best rooms. He staid several days. I got uneasy about my bill and asked him for it. He said that I was in a 1 of a hurry and that he would pay it whenever he got ready. I very foolishly told him that if he did not pay me right then I would take it out of his bide.
He pulled off his coat and said he was ready to settle, and we went at it. We fought for some time, and I thought I had whipped him, but am sorry to say that I was mistaken. He rested a short time and jumped on me agp.in. When we fought out this round, I again thought I had him whipped. Bat, alas, I was again mistaken, for he rested for a timo and came at me again.
By this time I was very tired of the tight. He got me down on the floor, and, after thinking about it for years, I think I was whipped. hen be let me get tip, I told him be did not owe me a cent and could stay at the Waverly House free of charge as long as he wanted to.

He went to David's office and told him he had settled his bill with Sam Piles, and now he was ready to pay biiu bis fee in the same way. David got up out of his chair and backed himself up in the oorner and told the man from Illinois that he did not owe him a cent, and also told him that if it would be unpleasant for him to stay longer with me he could go home with him, and it would cost him nothing to stay as long as be desired to. But the man from Illinois had not completed his mission at tsmithland as yet. He owed Tom Robertson a livery 6table bill. He called on him to settle.

THE INTELLIGENT SURGEON. Brain Work That Was More Serviceable Than a Telescopic Month. Tho big sturgeon at tho aquarium swimming around and around in ita pool had picked up pretty nearly all the food in the pool. It is fed on clams, which are put into the pool all together in one place, and the sturgeon picks them up and eats tbeiu as it wants them. On this day there was one clam that lay in the angle formed by the bottom of the pool and the side wall.
The sturgeon couldn't take that as it went along, as it had done with the rest. But on one of its rounds It baited and swung its big eight foot body out across the pool, preparatory to getting that clam out of the angle. The sturgeon's mouth is on the underside of its head. It is what is called a protractile moath. It is telescopic.
When not in use, it is about flush with the surface of the underjaw. When in use, it is thrown out something like a telescopic cup. The sturgeon bas in its mouth a considerable power of suction. Although in the case of a sturgeon as big as this one the mouth is a number of inches back from the snout, it could probably draw food to it from that distance, but Jn this instance it preferred to do otherwise. It might have pushed it out with the tip of its snout, but it has bruised that once in tho pool, and it is very particular about it.
What It did do was this: With its nose pointed toward the clam it swung its head through the water from one side to the other and thus set up a little current that started the clam cut of tho angle. One more swing brought it out within convenient reach, and then the big sturgeon took up the clam and started on. New York Sun. Bright Girl's Birthday. "It is a great thing to be bright, isn't it, said a girl on a car.
"It undoubtedly is, my dear. But what called forth that sage remark "Do you remember Florence Brown of Selma, who was in our class at colleger' "Of course I do." "Well, you know that, although a very pretty and attractive girl, she is still unmarried, and lately she wrote to one of the girls that she was rapidly approaching that horrid anniversary, her thirtieth birthday, and that she intended to celebrate it by indulging in a 'lachrymal bellow' all day. Her friend was much moved with compassion for her lorn condition, and wrote to SO of ber classmates that Florence had written her to that effect, and asked each one to 6endher a handkerchief to assist her in the tearful operation. So, owing to her quick wit, Florence's thirtieth birthday, instead of being a time of mourning, proved a most joyful occasion, for she received 80 pretty handkerchiefs, each inclosed in a loving epistle, and it showed ber that her friends loved her none the less for ber 80 years." Washington Post. Birds Made to Order.
The Japanese are ruthless in their tampering with nature. If they decide that they want a bird or an animal of a certain shape or color, they set about manufacturing the article, so to 6peak, by the exercise of exceedingly clever Ingenuity and untiring patience. Here, for example, is bow the white sparrows are produced: They select a pair of grayish birds and keep them in a white cage in a white room, where they are attended by a person dressed in white. The mental effect on a series of generations of birds results in completely white birds. They breed the domestio co*ck with enormously long tails after the same principle.
They first select a bird with a good tail, giving him a very high perch to stand on. Then with weights they drag the tail downward, carrying on the same system with the finest specimens of his descendants till a tail almost as long as a peaco*ck's ia produced at last.

To the general surprise one of the richest men in the state, Ellas Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, aroe and made this brief speech: "Every man is called upon to do what be can for his country. I don't know what I can do unless it is to enlist and serve as a private in the Union army. I want no position. I am willing to learn and do what I can with a musket." But it soon proved that the chronic lameness from which Howe suffered incapacitated him from marching with a musket, even to the extent of standing sentry. Determined to be of use, however, he volunteered to serve the regiment as its postmaster, messenger aud expressman.
Sending home for a suitable horse and wagon, he drove into Baltimore twice a day and brought to the camp its letters and paruels. It was said that he would run over half the state to deliver a letter to some lonely mother anxious for her soldier boy or bring back him a pair of boots which he needed during the rainy winter. For four months after the Seventeenth Connecticut entored the field tho government was so pressed for money that no payment to tho troops could be niado, and there was consequently great suffering among the families of the soldiers and painful anxiety endured by the men themselves. One day a private soldier came quietly into the paymaster's office in Washington and took his seat in tho corner to await his turn for an Interview. Presently the officer said "Well, my man, what can I do for you?" "I have called to see atout the payment of the Seventeenth Connecticut," answered the soldier.
The paymaster, somewhat irritated by what he supjiosed a needless and impertinent interruption, told him sharply that he could do nothing without money, and that until the government furnished some it was useless for soldiers to come bothering him about pay. "I know that the government la in straits," returned the soldier. "1 have called to find out how much money it will take to give my regiment two months' pay. I am ready to uruish the amount. The amaxed officer atked the name of his visitor, who modestly replied, "Ellas Howe." He then wrote a draft for the required sum 131,000.
Two or throe days later the regiment was paid. When Mr. Howe's name was called, he went up to the paymaster's desk and signed the receipt for $28.00 of his own money The officers of a noighlwrlng roglment sent over to the Seventeenth Connecticut to see if they could not "borrow their private." Youth's Companion. THE VALET DE PLACE. He Is Supplanting the Courior as Traveling Companion.
Few Americans now travel abroad with a regular courier. To a great extent ha has been supplanted by the "valet da place," a useful combination of the guide and companion. He has his recognised place in the eoonomy of travel on the continent; he can be engaged to meet you upon arrival in a foreign city; he take the dazed traveler to the hotel or pension, arranges the programme of sightseeing to suit individual taste, takes upon himself the burden of fighting inordinate charges aud of seeing that fees are not demanded without cause; he is the especial Joy of the British or American tourist who is intent on "doing" a venerable city in th shortest time compatible with human endurance in a word, he "puts them through" Brussels or Ghent in the quarter or half day which the traveler on rapid transit bent considers sufficieut for these beautiful old cities. The valet do place cannot do justice to everything, but he does his best, and most satisfactory it is. He accompanies his patrons to the proper "gare" when the hour of departure draws nigh.
He takes their tickets for them, wraps them up in rugs, provide? them with newspapers and parting instructions in well meant dialect, and so performs his full duty to these birds of passuge. Detroit Free Press. Her Disappointment. Every one who has ever been a child will recall that sense of injury entailed by being sent to bed early that conviction that you are being deprived of tho most interesting part of the whole day. There Is really no knowing what the elders are up to when once they get the youngrtora tucked up safe in bed, but it stands to reason it must be very interesting, or why would they be in such a hurry to get the youngsters out ot the way? With some children this amounts to more than mere feeling.
It was a little girl of the latter sort who begged so bard to sit up just for once that her mother one evening not long ago snid that she ruittht. How the little girl 's eyes danced at the prospect of all the wonderful things she would see for herself upon this her first occasion of "sitting up!" How commiseratingly she regarded the other children, who wore as usual packed off to bed at an early hour! She seated herself in her small chair and eagerly awaited developments. But imagine her surprise when her parents, as was their custom, seated themselves at the library table, and unsociably, but hygienically, turning their bucks to the light, began to read. For some time the small girl rocked away in ber small chair in silence. Then came a sleepy, plaintive voice, "Is this all you dof" Philadelphia Times.
New York's Front Doors. It ia a fact that the only distinctive characteristic of an ordinary New York house Is its front door. It isn't usually that one woman can boast a big house while another has only a little one, or that one has a brick house, auother only a frame. New York houses taken as a whole in the residence districts of the city, with the exception of some few of the more elegant, are as much alike as peas in a pod, with the exception of the front doors. There the family, according to its means, can exhibit massive elegance, a lighter and more fantastic beauty, cheap common plaoenesa, or anything that its taste, lack of taste, money or lack of money may suggest.
This is thoroughly appreciated by the house dwellers themselves. "Why," said one of them, describing her mansion the other day, "1 have the handsomest front door on the block." Now York Times.

The Slysterioas City of Hosdnru Kern mine of Great Temples and Palaeea. Interesting Art Belles. The Central American explorer George Byron Gordon contributes an article entitled "The Mysterious City of Honduras" to the January Century. This gives an Recount of the recent remarkable discoveries made at Co pan. Mr.
Gordon says: Hidden away among the mountains of Honduras, in a beautiful valley which, even in that little traveled country, where remoteness is a characteristic attribute of places, is unusually secluded, Copan is one of the greatest mysteries of the ages. After the publication (in 1810) of Stephens' account of his visit to the ruina, which made them known for the first time to the world, tha interest awakened by his graphio description and the drawings that accompanied it from the skillful pencil of Catherwood relapsed, and until within the last decade writers on the subject of American archaeology were dependent entirely for information concerning Copan upon the writings of Stephens, which were regarded by many with skepticism and mistrust. Not only do the recent explorations confirm the account given by Stephens as regards tho magnitude and importance of the ruins, but the collection of relics now in the Peabody museum is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that here are the remains of a city, unknown to history, as remarkable and as worthy of our careful consideration as any of the nnciont centers of civilization in Jhe old a-orld. Whatever the origin of its people, this old city is distinctly American, the growth of American soil and environment. The gloomy forest, the abode of monkeys and jaguars, which clothed the valley at the time of Stephens' visit, was in great part destroyed about 80 years ago by a colony from Guatemala, which came to plant in the fertile soil of tho valley the tobacco for which, much more than for the ruins, that valley is famous throughout Central America today.
The trees that grew upon the higher structures were left, forming a pioturesquo grove, a remnant of whioh Rtill remains a fow oedara and oeibas of gigantic proportions clustered about the ruins of tho temples, shrouding them in a somber shade and sending their huge roots into the crevices and unexplored chambers and vaults and galleries of the vost edifices. Tho area comprised within the limits of the old city consists of a level plain seven or eight miles long and two miles wide at the greatest. This plain is covered with the remains of stone houses, doubtless the habitations of the wealthy. The streets, squares and courtyards were paved with stone or with white cement mado from lime and powdered rock, and the drainage was accomplished by means of covered canals and underground sewers built of stone and cement. On the slopes of the mountains, too, are found numerous ruins, and even on the highest peaks fallen columns and ruined structures may be seen.
On the right bank of the Copan river, in the midst of the city, stands the principal group of structures the temples, palaces aud buildings of a public character. These form part of what has been called, for want of a better name, the main structure a vast, irregular pile rising from the plain In steps and terraces of masonry and terminating in several great pyramidal elevations, each topped by the remains of a templo which, before our excavations were begun, looked like a huge pile of fragments bound together by the roots of trees, while tho slopes of the pyramids and the terraces and pavements below are strewn with tho ruins of these superb edi- IICOB. This huge structure, unliko the great pyramids of Egypt and other ancient works of a similar character, is not the embodiment of a deflnito idea, built in accordance with a preconceived plan and for a specific purpose, but is rather the complex result of a long process of development, corresponding to the growth of culture, and keeping pace with the expanding tastes of the people or the demands of their national life. Its sides face the four cardinal points; Its greatest length from north to south is about 800 feet, and from east to west; it measured originally nearly as much, but 'a part of the eastern side has been carried away by the swift current of the river which flows directly agains it. The interior of the structure is thus exposed in the form of a clifl 120 high, presenting a complicated system of buried walls and floors down to the water's edge doubtless the remains of older buildings, occupied for a time, and abandoned to serve as foundations for more elaborate structures.
Excavations have also brought to light, beneath the foundations of buildings now occupying the surface, not only tho filled chambers and broken walls of older structures, but sculptured monuments as well. The theory of development, though it cannot be set aside, seems inadequate to explain this curious circ*mstance, and yet there is just enough difference between these art relics and those of later date to indicate a change in style and treatment. Whether or not this change continues in regular sequence lower down has not yet been determined If, as I am inclined to believe, we shall find, away down in the lower levels, the rude beginnings from whioh the culture 1 of the later period developed, we shall have pretty conclusive evidence not only that Copan Is the oldest of the Maya cities, but that the Copan valley Itself, with the immediate vloinlty, was the cradle of the Maya civilization. CHARITY IN FRANCE. Society Women Nurse In Hospitals Where Losthtome Diseases Are Treated.
Miss Anna L. Blc-knell writes of "French Wives and Mothers" in The Century. Miss Bicknell says: Ladies of the highest rank, who seem the most engrossed by frivolous pleasures, Will perform heroic acts of charity in tho tnost unexpected manner. The Infirmary For Cancerous Diseases, containing the most fearful and loathsome examples of that repulsive malady, is regularly attended by ladles of rank, who have their fixed days of duty, when, each in turn, they dress the wounds with their own hands. The Ducliesse d'L'zes, one of the best known loaders of fashion, whose splendid festivities till the chronicles of the leading newspapers, is one of the most assiduous, showing an adroitness in the exercise of her charitable functions whioh induces her care to be particularly desired by the patients.
I know great families who, when residing in tl.eir country bouses, have regular days the week when the daughters of the timily dress wounds and sores among tlii' -urrounuing peasantry. The mothers inf families repress energetically any morbid sensibility which might interfere with such duties. What will you befit for in after life If you cannot command your feelings?" I have heard said by a venerable marquise who looked as if she bad stepped down from the frame of one of the pictures in her chateau. I may quote another instance, of a lady in a less high position who took in a wretched beggar child on a cold wintry night, performing maternal offices as regards removing the consequences of his neglected condition which wore so repulsive that ber physical strength gave way and she was taken violently ill in consequence. On Vy praising ber charity, she exclaimed almost indignantly, "What, when our Lord washed the feet of bis disciples, you would have me shrink from doing what is necessary for a poor, wretched child merely through a feeling of disgust" I said nothing, but could not help thinking how many would have left the care to others.
It must be acknowledged, however, that by the side of acta of heroic charity there is, saving exceptions, a great lack of that genial kindness which shows itself to equals In any trouble by many little friendly attentions in England and America the "cap of cold water" of the goepeL A Flxe4 Expreaaloa.
