ARTHUR ROBERTS, mn The Domestic Tribulations of ‘the Fam niest Man In England.”
Arriving at the Gaiety one night late from the raees Arthur Roberts found on his arrival at the theater the place seeth- ing with indignation. ‘‘Fetch mea black silk wrapper,’’ he said while dressing. The wrapper being brought, he proceeded te form it intoa sling, and, imping on to the stage, faced the house. All eyes were tixed on the sling and a cry of ‘‘ Hush-ss-h?’’ went round the house as the pale—pur- posely so—little man came down to the iootlights.
‘Ladies and gentlemen, I claim your in- dulgence; an accident in a cab. Forgive me.’’ Such cheers, such sympathy, that the wicked fellow for once lost his head, and came on in the next act minus his scarf and mp! Stranger still, no one noticed it. Roberts’ accomplishments are just what might be expected from so pecul- iaracharacter. If they were not so orig- inal, it is probable he would not be in re- ceipt of an income which is anything from £5,000 to 27,000 per annum.
Some of the funniest trick pantomime wigs ever made were evolyed from bis quaint fancy, and when no fun is to be got out of wigs he will direct his attention to properties. His powers of pantomiming are remarkable. Without any accessories he will in dumb show so accurately play a game of billiards that the absence of the table is scarcely noticed. In short, Mr. Roberts ‘is 4 merry, good hearted fellow, as ready fora joke as he is to help others in distress. Ask bim to appear at a benefit and he will reply:
‘Certainly. Anything you Hike. If your bill gets teo full, I will sell programines or take checks.”’
His one great sorrow, ho tells me, is due to his inability to persuade his family that
-he is a funny fellow.
If he cracks a joke to his daughter, she will say, ‘‘That’s not bad for you, papa!”’ If he tries his humor on his son, tke youngster will retort, ‘‘Isn’t it lucky for us, dad, that the public is soecasily gulled?"’ While Mrs. Roberts, worst of all, disdains alY notice of his humor beyond saying, “Do get on with your dinner, dear!’’— London Answers.
HIS FIRST POEM.
Longfellow’s Composition on the Fate of Mr. Finney’s Turnip.
When our great poet Longfellow was 9 years old, his master wanted him to write acomposition. Little Henry, like all chil- dren, shrank from the undertaking. His master said:
‘*You can write words, can you not?’’
**Yes,’’ was the reply.
‘Then you can put words together?’’
**Yes, sir.’’
‘*Then,’’ said the master, ‘‘you may take your slate aud go out behind the school- house and there you can find something to write about, and then you can tell what it is, what it is for, and what is to be done with it, and that will be a composition.’’
Henry took his slate and went out. He went behind Mr. Finney’s barn, which chanced to be nearby, and, seeing a fine turnip growing up, he thought he knew what that was, what it was for and what would be done with it.
A half hour had been allotted to Henry for his first undertaking in writing com- positions. In a half hour he carried in his work all cccomplished, and the master is said to have been affected almost to tears when he saw what little Henry had done in that short time
MR. FINNEY’S TURNIP,
Mr. Finney had a turnip, . And it grew, and it grew, And it grew behind the barn,
And the turnip did no harm, ,
And it grew, and it grew Till it could grow no taller,
Then Mr. Finney took it up And put if in the cellar.
There it lay, there it lay Till it began to rot, a
When his daughter Susie washed [f And she put it in the pot.
Then she boiled it and boiled it As long as she was able.
Then his dsughter Lizzio took it, And she put it on the table.
Mr. Finney and his wife ; Both sat down to sup, : And they ate, and they ate Till they ate the turnip up. ~—-New York Tribune.

Willing to Camp Out on Papa. **So my little girl wants to get married
: and go away and leave her old papa, does
she?’’ said the fond father as he stroked his ehild’s sunny hair.
‘*Yes, papa, she does,’’ replied the arch maiden, ‘but Fred says it would be quite too cruel.”’
‘*Oh, Fred said that, did he?’’
““Ves, papa. Fred says that rather than fake me away from you he’ll be willing to come right here and live with us. Ain’t it poble of him?’’
**Very.’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Woodstock, N. B., Sentinel. Mrs. E. P. Ras, of Riley Breok, N. B,
says: “I pave been a sufferer fur thirty years, and I am sure I would still be in the same Jamentable condition had it not been for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I wae married at the age of twenty, and am now fifty-one ycars old. I had always enjoyed good health until after my first child was bern. About a month later the illness attacked me whieh bas since made my life miserable. I consulted different doctors, but they did not agree asto the nature of my trouble.

hours or more. Notwithstanding all that was dune for me, these spells were coming nore nequently, and at last 1 would some times have two attacks aday. I was also troubled with brouchitis, which adied to my misery. I could not sew or knit, o: do any work that required close attention to it. All this trouble had never left me for years, aod at tae age of 48 I consulted another doctor. the medicine he gave me, however, wade me worse instead of better, Then I was advised to try Dr. Williams Piok Piller, [ was using te taird box before 1 found any benefit, bu: ihen there was a decided change. By the time I used twelve boxes I was as well as I did in my young days. Every symptom ot the trouble that bad so Jong made my life miserable bad di-appeared.

- BOTTLED BACTERIA.
Fenrs Uitherto Expressed as to Their Dire Effects Are Passing Away.
The average layman has long been sustained by a secret belief that the vast majority of bacteria are harmless, and, considering that he daily consumes millions of them in eating, drinking and sleeping, it is consoling to find the belief confirmed by an eminent author- ity.
Another scientist contributing to an English review does something toward relieving bacteria of their evil name by explaining how much they have to do with successful butter making. Futter, as every one kuows, is best made from sour cream and does not keep well un- less the cream is soured before churn- ing. This result is usually attained by letting the cream stand till it sours of its own accord. But a series of experi- ments carried on in Sleswick-Holstein hive proved that the souring of cream is produced by the presence of certain bacteria, which can be cultivated and introduced in such a way as to cause artificially the necessary souring.
A doctor named Witter has studied the subject, and ‘‘so skillfully blended certain cultures together that when the mixture was added in due proportion to iterilized cream to effeet souring, the butter made therefrom was of most de- licious flavor, pure and of great com- mercial value, inasmuch as it kept ad- mirably.
The dried seed or powder of the bac- teria used in this process can now be bought put up in bottles. A proportion is added toa small quantity of skimmed milk, which is subjected to a moderate continuous heat till the baeteria have developed. The **fermentation starter’’ is then added tothe cream. The pure culture is only used occasionally, enough of the ‘‘starter’’ being left over every day & begin cperations with on the next. The excellence ef Danish butter is attributed to the care taken in choos- ing the “fermentation starter.’’—-Pop- ular Science Monthly.
HUMMING BIRDS.
Their Wonderfully Fashioned Diminutive Nests and Their Tiny Eggs.
Suddenly a glint shot from the point where my gaze was dreamily focused. That was all, but suspicion and savage instincts were aroused, For ten minutes my eyes followed the contour of each of the small boughs 20 feet above me, mere twigs from a higher and greater branch, which in turn declined from a mighty, outstretched arm of the giant. Presently suspicion centered in an insignificant, lichen covered wart on the upper side of a branch as large, perhaps, as a lady’s wrist. It was like a dozen others, yet not exactly like them. The lichen seemed to me just a shade grayer and more regular, and the knot was a trifle too round. I feared to take my eyes away, lest it were lost before I had proved it to be only a natural excres- cence. The sudden glint again struck my eye, there was a strange, tuneful bum, and—eureka! Directly above the point I was watching there hovered, with wings vibrating themselves into a misty point, an exquisite ruby throat. Then it settled on the diminutive cup of lichen, and I had found my first humming bird’s nest.
By climbing far up above and then crawling carefully down on a separate limb, one could look over the nest, scarcely a yard away, to admire the tiny white eggs and the even more fairy- like nest, marvelously woven inside with the finest and softest fiber, and coated on the outer periphery against the weather with delicate lichen, which just turned the rim so as to shed any insistent raindrop that might penetrate the manifold roof of leaves overhead. The whole would have fitted in a circle made by joining the index finger and thumb. —‘‘The Oakdwellers,’’ by C. D, Lanier, in Scribner's.
