Thero are some little signs, signs

Maybe it is winter breaking up. I
hope so, (or it has been a bard one
ao far. There is some change in
the air I know, for ray bones have
been telling me. They always tell
me* I've had to sit up by the fire
half the night lately, and rub and
grunt and take on and walk tbo
lloor, and yesterday when I was
meandering* around Mrs. Arp
laughed at me which I didcat ap
preciate, arid thou she apologized
by saying I lifted up my hind legs
just like the old mare did when she

Some men live longer in ono year
than olejParr did in a hundred. I
reckon that three score year* and
ten are about right That long
suits most of folks very well. I
notice that moat all old people nre
willing to die. They get reckon-
eded to It In due time, and l*m
glad It U so fur it is a wondeiful
change, a leap in the dark and it
takes abundant faith in providence
to prepare on* for it I used to
tbiuk when I was a boy that it
was awful and terrible and could*
ent bear to think of it, and one
day I beard an old man git np in
church and eay he had just as
leave die as to live and be oooli
shake of! life ae easily as be could
sbaka off bU colt. He bad on a
great big old fashioned cloak with'
sleeve* to U and he lo*t gave it a
little .hake at the shoulder* and it
fell off on Ikp floor. I will never
forget that and I wondered if I
would ever feel that way.
Bishop Pierce feols that way I
know. He likes to Jive to do
good, but dying don’t trouble him.
Those are the sort of men to be
euvied. Men who have worked
all their lives for the good of their
fellow mon. There is no discount
on that kind of a life. Every
holy admires it and commends it.
I reckon Bob Ingersoll would tako
stock in Bishop Pierce’s chances, I
reckon ho would. If that sort of
stock was on the market there are
a good many of us who would
strain a p*int to buv some. Jf
heaven was purchasable with mon
ey I have often wondered what
would becouio of the rich man’s
heirs. Most of them would perish
for luck of patrimony, 1 reckon,
and there would be no colleges
endowed ami no money left to
churches, or to charity, for every
body would ho holding his g>dd
for the last investment.
It was a lesson of comfort to
read about Bishop Pierce in your
Inst Sunday’s piper. The lives of
noble men are the best lessors for
young, the best e xamples, tho best
ii.llucnces. They are better than
la«vs or sermons or all earthly To
wards that stimulate us to action.
I wish it was so that even ono such
man lived iu every community. I
know how one bad umn who h
smart aud brilliant corrupts and
taints motd all around him and
jit.-L so ono good raau shod* a go nl
influence among the young people
in his nirhorhood. The very sight
of him as he walks along, aud the
glow of his face as lie looks at you
hn'’c their peaceful n..d soothing
effects and is never forgotten. A
goad man’s preseno is liko tho
memory of tho p/ayers a mother
taught ih-at her kuco In our in
fancy. It cannot bo shaken off.
I roomed with a drummer not
long ago in my travels and ho was
wiid aud ratliug but ho never
swore any and before ho went to
bed ho kuolt down hy tho aide of
it. He learned that from hit moth*
or, he said, uud couiJont sleep if ho
neglected it.

courses upon the various ways in
which strangers, generally from
tho rural districts, arc taken in by
tho sharpers who infest the metro*
polis in fcucb large numbers. Let
us suppose, he says, that ono of
tho strangers was walking up
Broadway, dazed with tho bustle
and cotifused by the clatter. He
is missing naught of what goes
around him. Suddenly the man
in front of him stoops down and
picks op something. It is a glove.
The countryman looks at him to
sec what he has picked up.
"Hello !** says the roan; "here’s
a ring in this finger. By Jove I
it’s a bang-up solid ring. Some
Indy bas slipped her ring off with*
out noticing it in taking off her
glove, and then she’s dropped her
glove."
The countryman looks at ibo
ring. It looks liko a beauty. It
might jttsl fit his StUie’a finger.
Blame it! Why does ho never pick
up anything ?*’
‘•Look a-hrre. young fellor,”
says the city mnn, "hero’s a gold
I’m poor us a church mouse;
haven’t got a cent. The stores is
all closed and I can't sell this.
Gimme fi* dollars for it and say no
more.’’
Done—and the countryman has
got a brass ring.
On thb next block another very
similar incident occurs. A coun
tryman is plodding along and
gawking about. lie bunks into n
man who has stopped to pick up
something. It’s a big fat wallet.
Tho city man 0]>t*ns it and peeps
into it. . Tho countryman can see
by the expression on tho other's
f:ico that the wallet is full of lills,
though ho doesn’t happen to see
the bills.
"By George I” says tho lucky
finder, "some countryman's in a
hole. Lost his pocket-book and a
big hunk of money. It’s too bud
—too lad; and l’vo got just ten
minutes to catch tho boat at the
Battery. The poor fellow ought

Perhaps the next countryman
ainot.g our guests drops into u

The countryman paya fifty cent*.

dentally saw the gentleman pull
out to show a bystander In order
to prove that the number on the
gold watch was really in one of the

those be will find a blank in bis

out another one, the gentleman
who presides will Seiko it with sn
"Ah, now let’s see what you get,”
and will change it so deftly that
you wont see him do it and—the
countryman gets a blank. If he
tries again and again he will spend

Buy form of curiuaity.
Doublcss many of the strangers
find themselves in pleasant convent)
with a man who adroitly sounds
them to find out whether they ever
played cards for money or not.
The pleasant pumpers are gambling
house "cappers." They get a per
centage on the winnings from who
soever they bring to the tables.
Thuy arc not vio'ent. They do
not drug a man or carry him by
forco, nor do they urge a man to
play if ho eayi ho ddes not under-
stunt cards. That’s all the talk of
those who do not know what they
are preaching about. Tbo capper
is the least ofiensivo variety of city
sharks. He asks you to come
around to "the club,” and then
takes you to a hell w here is played
a "brace" game. I never staked
a cent in a gambling house in my
life, bus I have often been in those
places, and onco 1 saw a capper
bring in u jolly, half-tipsy country
merchant with a roll of bills as big
as a woman’s fist I saw him lose
$400 am) then offer to treat the
house. The boss gambler would
uot permit this, but set up the
wino himself. Thun tho man sat
down to play agaiu; and tho gam-
bhr would not let him do so, but
Nentacapier out of the house
with him to see him Htifo to his
hotel. Perhaps you think this wus
highly moral. Well, it was moral
ity of the highest gambling house
standard.
"Why did jou not let him ko- p
on pld} ing ?" I inquired of the
gambler.
"Oh," he replied "he had noth,
ing hut small bills left. No usu
cleaning him out and having him
complain to the police. As it is,
ho has g.ino away feeling good to
ward tho house.”
What the Zero Nark Moans.
Nihety-nine citizens out of 100
had soroothing to say about "zero"
yesterday; pet haps not Ofio in 100
could lmvo told off hand why a
point 32° below tho freezing point
on Fahrenheit's thermometer is
called zero. For that matter, no-
holy knows. Tho Fahronhtii
Hcalo was introduced in 1720. Liko
other thermometric scales it has
two fixed points, the freezing point,
or rathe: tho melting point of ice,
aud tho boiling point of water.
Tho Centigrade and Reaumur
scales call tho freezing point z.ro
aud measures therolrom. ill both
directions. This is a very natural
arrangement. Fahrenheit kept
tho prinoipul on which As grad
uateu his thermometers a secret
and no one hni ever discovered it.
It Is supposed however, tbat ho
considered bis zero—32 degrees
below Ireczing—the point of ab
solute cold or absence of all host,
either because, being nbcut tho
temperature of melting stflt and
■now, it was the greatest degree
of cold that ho could produce arti
ficially or bccauso it was the lowest
natural temperature of which he
could find any record. Tbo
grounds on which Fahrenheit put
180 dogreea between tho freezing
and boiling points arc likewise un-
known—-AT. Louis Globe*Demo*

Tho Smoking Oar.
Many men, though they may
not wh*h to smoke, on taking
train for a ahort trip usually pke*
far a seat in the smoking car. They
•ay that in case of a crowd when
onco they got a seat in a smoking
car it ia tlieira until thujf choose to
pive it up. Besido, they like the
company. It is free and easy,
good oatured and jolly. One sel
dom aees a sour faoe in a smoking
car. If there ia one it soon van
ishes to the rear after it has finish*
ed puffing its 6Vrn cigar. Moat of
the pleat ant stories of the train
are told in the smoking car and
many good songs are there sting
and no ono objects to music or
hearty laughter. CdAlagioat dis
eases and insects don’t liko to
hang around in the tobacco imelN
ing upholstery of the old "smoker,”
often older and more rickety than
it ought to be. The good railroad
manager provides comfortably

his cigar loving passengers, and so
they bless him. The. smoking car

A Stampsde on tho Plains.
The following incident in
exciting business of herding cattle
ou the Western plains is given by
icorrespondentof the Gurmantdwn
Telegraph:
" I onco traveled with a driver a
few days while passing through the
Yellowstouo country. At night
meu wero told off to night-herd —
about half tho outfit generally—
and they slept while the other half*
ht-rdc-d the next day. One night
we camped on a small stream trio
ntary to the Yellowstone. It was
a beautiful starlit nigbt, and when
we rolled into our blankets we re
marked how still tho herd was, fur
wo could see the b ack muss at a
little distance front our camp fire,
and the night herders riding sIo>vly
around them. We turned in, and
had been asleep but a short time
when we wero awakened by a ter
rific noise impossible to describo
You can judge. Tho bfc’rd of 5,000
bad stampeded, and jjich ono was
bellowing is they rushed madly
away. ‘ A staraj>edo 1’ veiled the
boss. * Saddle, boys, quick I’—
P cket ropes were cut and saddles
thrown on tho horses in an iustant
almost, and away wo rode hard af
ter the Cloud of dust, which we
could see far down tho vailey. In
about half an hour wo wore up
with the tail ond of the hbtd, und
the boss ordered us all to rido on
to tho leaders and gradually turn
them to thb left. I followed and
saw the intmenso herd of madden
ed brutes turn from the shouts and
yelps of cowboys, and still turn
hour after hour until the leaders
were turned all the way rcunJ to
the tail end, forming a complete
circle, and joiuing in continued
their mad gallop. An hour’s time
passed and with lolling longues
they still tore on, and the cowboys
sat on their horses in an outer cir
cle surrounding them. They hod
topped bellowing, and no sound
could hs heard except tbo thunder
of their tramjiug aud Irfhored
brentbirig. It was a weird, ns well
ns curious, sight to eeo that huge
moving in a circle and the
silent and rootionl -as horsemen
guarding them. It was what in
stuck lihgo is called a‘mill.’ As
wo sat there watching they stop
ped, not slowly, but abruptly, as if
at a word < f command, trad in ten
minutes they wero all lying down
again. I hi ked over thu ground
in tho morning and saw tho groat
show ring which they had made,
and dounted tho dea l that had
been trampled to death; I think
about eighty head.
" We found that wc wero about
twenty miles from our esmp, which
was auylhitig but satisfactory, but
it came along about 10 o’clock
think no one but a trained cowboy
could have saved tbat herd that
night. Tho night herder* said that
tbey started a* suddenly as they
stopped, und without any appsrout
cause.”
