The grand mother, who livod with them, and wm not as amiable as somo people's grandmothers, scolded a good deal about 1 this lack. . One day, while the farmer was digging a shallow well in tho pasturo behind tho bam to furnish more water for his cattle, ho was surprised to come upon u stream of very, salt and very warm water. Tho mnmont an opening was made for it, up it gushed in a sparkling little fountaiu. He ran to the1 house In great excitement, and called "the folks" to como and see. All were amazed,' Of course. | His old mother stood with arms akimbo for a little while and watched the spurting waters, then she bent over, thrust her fingers into the fountain and tastod the salt water.

He got leave, and down to Indianapolis he went flying. He squared things all right, for I got a dispatch from him saying: 'Ail right; we are married.' So it rather hurried the matter after all. It was a queer accident, though, and might have proved serious, but did not, for the couplo are living together now as happy as turtle doves; but I can not help thinking what a chump a man is who can't tell a woman's night-gown from a shroud." : The girl got the package all right, for about the right timo tho clerk received a letter. It was a stunner, I can tell you. By one of those mishaps that always occur when they should not, she failed to get the letter with the bundle.' Her letter was short but sharp. It read: 'What do you . mean by sending me a shroud V Just think of it. The young fellow, with tho best in•tentlons in the world of sending his girl a beautiful present, had sent a garment for a dead body. I did not wonder she was angry about it I shouldn't like it myself, a "The wedding wa9 to como off In a short time, and about two weeks boforo tbo time ha said, referring to that package: 'I wonder if it would do any harm if I sent that garment to my girl.

The number of packages left carelessly lying around in different places in the city and lost must run up into the thousands in the course of a year. According to Billy Meech, a railway ticket office in a prominent hotel at Chicago is the great receiving baain of such truck. Many of the articles left are found to bo trifles of no account whatever, but occasionally it happena that something of value la found. BUly Mooch tolls the following incident in this connection to a Herald reporter: "One day I found on my counter a package some one had left, and as usual in such cases laid it back, thinking the owner would call again and claim it, as is usually the case, but in this instance no one came. After it had been in our hands about two months my clerk one day suggested that wo open it, and, agreeing, the string was cut, and enough of the contents exposed to satisfy us two fellows that it was an exceedingly handsome night-gown for a lady. The fabrio was very fine, and the lace upon the front would havo made any woman's mouth water with envy. Our curiosity satiated, the paper was readjusted and the package laid back on the shelf. My clerk was engaged to be married, his fiancee living down in Indianapolis.A Tonne Fellow lbkti 111* Girl m Proaent Just think of buying a man's overcoat for $2.00, a good, warm coat for $4.60, $6, $8, $10, $12, $13, $14, $15, $16, $20 and $25. .BOYS' AND CHILDREN'S OVERCOATS.

It would bo downright grave robbery to repeat it. And tho third is like unto this: A certain undertaker's enorgotio wife ekes out the family purno by kocping a boarding-house. The boarders claim to be abl» to tell, with unorriug accuracy, when tho husband has had charge of a funeral, because tho next day ttioro are flowers on tho table, and ice on Wie butter. The second runs 09 follows: A New England gentleman went to Florence in the last stages of consumption, lingered a few months and passed awnv. His bereaved widow telegraphed homo: "John is dead. Loss fully covered by insurance." Khe then set about preparing the remains for shipment to the North. The local undertaker was called in. The soason was about over, and bis largo and select assortment had been reduced to a single casket, whloh proved about two foot too long for the deceased. "Nover mind," sobbed the widow, after she lad haggled the price down to the lowest possible flguro; "the box is too long, but 1 can fill tho ond in w-with oranges 1" There is a very iiieo young lady ia Washington who, according to tho Post, has & way of ridding herself of bores to bo commended for uniqueness at least.

"But," concluded t'ne doctor, impressively, "I think that jcsignVf mothers are responsible tor many oi' tue woman-haters, as they frequently prevent their daughters from marrying the men of their choice, and When a girl deserts the man she loves and marries another it is very apt to do mental injury to the lirst." "X know another case where a man intrusted his entire fortune to a woman, and she made away with it and made a womanhater out of hiin. Xto couid never address one. "I could tell you several more, but would have to do so briefly, as a patient is waiting for me," he responded. "I recollect a gentleman who stood very high in all affairs connected with education iu New York. He, too, was a woman-hater. As his opinion on school affairs was considered vahiable, many teachers, especially ladies, used to run to him for advice, but, as ho was deeply engaged in Btudy, their calls were a source of annoyance to him and irritated him into the state of mind that 1 have mentioned."He was a bachelor, but he finally discharged all his women servunts, substituting men. And orders were given that no woman was to be allowed to set foot within his doors. He has often told me that women had prevented his reaching tho highest rounds of science mid that he could never regain tho time lost. "Tell us another, doctor," insinuated the newspaper man. "Never," was the answer, and the party relapsed into silence for a moment. A diversion was caused by the waiter's removal of an empty bottle and the substitution of a fresh one, and the conversation was resumed. "Was it ever removed, doctor!" asked one of the listeners. "It was easy enough for me to see that unless the impression caught and retained by his mind in its enfeebled state oould be removed, he would remain a -woman-hater all hia life." "1 found the young follow'* constitution yerjr much run down, and made him admit that he was a victim of the opium habit. He also confessed to me an advonture that had happened to him, but which I will not repeat, as it is too long, In which he had been scared nearly out of his wits by a woman. "In the spring of'811 was called in by a prominent banker to attend his son, who had suddenly become afflicted with a stradfce state of mind, which proved to be a hatred of women. This his family oould not understand, as he had always been a leader in social events and fond of ladies' society. "Yes, that is Tory strange," said the physician, meditatlraly. "But I think I know of one nearly as remarkable," and he went on tq relate the following: From that day throughout his childhood and up to tho hour of his death the sight of ■ woman was enough to throw him into convulsions. His nurses were men, and his family decided it best to seclude him. No woman ever entered his apartments, but all the work of taking care of him devolved upon men. Ue died in those rooms. The conversation turned then on a case that had bsen mentioned by Oliver Wendell Holmes in his book. A very young boy had been left in charge of a nurse, and Bhe bu 1 suddenly gone insane. In her maniacal frenzy she tried to strangle her innocent charge, and only desisted when she thought she had succeeded ia her object. Then she killed herself with a razor, which left her a most shocking sight. The boy revived, and the first thing his eyes fell upon was the corpse. "Now," concluded tho doctor, "there was • man who was a woman-hater, only he did not know it, bccausc he was insane." The physicians had diagnosed his case aright. "He struggled against it and fought it, but It was no use, and the disease, if such it may be called, began to show Itself to his family and friends, and an instant estrangement from his wife was the result. He ran away from his homo and was Anally returned hopelessly insane. ''Onecasethat I recall," said the doctor, "*M that ot a German, a member of all the musical societies, who late in life acquired and betrayed an iatease hatred of all women.

As there are only about 60,000 native Alaskans in a territory as largo as tho whole of the United States east of the Mississippi and north of tho Alabama, there should be room enough for the whole population of Iceland, where le:*s than 75,000 peoplo are scattered over a country as large as Ireland. Alaska probably would h»i• more attractive to them than Manitoba, as they are accustomed to live by fisheries rather than by raising wheat. No kind of grain has been grown in Iceland for more than 1,000 years, wi'li tho exception of a few small patehc sown i cently by way of experiment.
