Different Ideas of Kissing. A beautiful high toned girl of 20—let ns call her Alice—was telling me the other day of a meddlesome, gossipy neighbor, Mrs. II , who has consti tuted herself censor and mentor for the young girls of her acquaintance. The lady has a daughter grown who is so en tirely void of attractions as to give her mother no uneasiness. Alice has a great many beaus, and does not escape advice and admonition. “She told me,” said the merry girl, with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, “that no young man who had any regal'd for a girl would ever offer the least familiarity; that her daughter was 22, and the young men had such perfect respect for her—not one had ever tried to kiss her!” Alice and I exchanged glances and laughed. ‘Tshaw!” said Alice, ‘Tye ] ,FcourseT3i3nTtell her sol a have too good an opinion of hu- nature to believe that in many ; a few harmless kisses will degen- ! to anything disgraceful.—Kate Biman in Jenness-Miller Magazine. A Mischievous Boy’s Act. iere is a governess in an uptown ly who has not found favor in the" of her young pupils. One of these a 8-year-old boy, with considerable hief and no end of daring in his position, and this youngster, who iles his paint brush very neatly, was itly called upon by his governess to t her name in small white letters in- her handsome new silk umbrella, .aster John set his bifashes and boxes and squared himself to bis task, t how shall I mark it, Miss Jones?” sked. ‘'Shall I paint ‘Miss Jones’ Iiss Ellen Jones’ or ‘Miss E.

The graceful sea gull put in an ap pearance in Baltimore’s harbor earlier than nsnal this season, and old salts pre dict a hard winter.' Whether the sea galls are weather indicators or not, their presence is very desirable. As scavengers they are useful, and even the ordinary observer is struck by their beauty and grace. Their predominating color is white, with a gray mantle, vary ing in shade from a delicate pearl gray to dark, blackish slate or nearly black. Some have black heads, and their black caps turn white in winter. The bills and feet are generally bright red or yel low, and make' a brilliant contrast with the other coloring as the birds dart rap idly past or sail slowly overhead. They are a clamorous, noisy set, with shrill, penetrating voices. They go in flocks or scatter like, scouts or sentinels. They may be seen floating on the water in small companies, or drawn up on shore like soldiers, or standing in groups on a land bar on one foot, quiet and solemn. When not busy eating np such material as they find to their tastes floating on the surface of the water they watch other birds and rob them of any special tidbits they have secured. Passengers on steamers entering or leaving Queenstown harbor, Ireland, have a pleasant diversion feeding the sea gulls. The birds are quite tame, and come close to the vessel to be fed. Fre quently the birds will catch the food as soon as it strikes the water. When they are given any article particularly dis agreeable they express their indignation by discordant screams.- They follow the steamers far out to sea, picking up any edible matter thrown from the ship. The man who for the first time shoots one of these birds, expecting to secure a large and plump specimen, gets only a miserable, lean carcass sunk in a large mass of feathers, and may be said to be gulled.—Baltimore American. Sis Minutes’ Stop for a Wedding. Mr. Will E. Robinson, of Beallsville, and Miss Lou Jeffrey, of East Bethle hem, boarded the train at West Browns ville and contrived to get married on the fly while coming to this city. The party did not wish to be married at the home of the groom, and Mr. Rob inson could not get a leave of absence so as to get a marriage license.in this city, and how to get married away from home, take a trip and be back for duty on Monday morning was the question to be solved, and Mr. D. M. Watt, super intendent of the Monongahela division of the Pennsylvania railroad, and CoL Chill - Hazzard helped the interested qpuple out of an interesting dilemma. Mr. Watt had the train stopped at Monongahela City. Editor Hazzard had secured the attendance of the Rev. J. T. Riley, of the Methodist Episcopal church, on the depot platform. Mr. Robinson and Miss Jeffrey stepped from the train to the platform, and the Rev. Mr. Riley pronounced the ceremony, without wast ing any time. The train stopped at 5:14 o’clock p. m. and was again on- its way at 5:21, the ceremony occupying just three minutes. An immense crowd had assembled at stepped upon the platform. As the happy pair stepped back aboard the train the crowd showered rice’ upon them un til they were literally covered.—Pitts- .burg Dispatch. Eight VVhcfjJ Electric Street Car. The Springfield avenue electric rail road was started in Newark Oct. 4, with eight wheel cars as large as ordinary steam railroad coaches, and capable of carrying sixty passengers. The line runs from Market street station through the busiest part of the city, and the cars were sandwiched in between the horse cars of other lines, but increased speed was made, and the day passed without a horse being seriously frightened or a col lision occurring. One passenger had his arm broken by coming in contact with one of the central poles while waving a salute out of the window to a friend on the sidewalk. Each car was equipped with two twen ty horse cower motors geared to one axle of each truck. They surmounted the steep hills on Springfield avenue without much diminution of speed.— New York Sun. Mercury and Calomel. Injudicious use of mercury in the form of calomel or otherwise leaves very in jurious after effects. Much of the dis tress that afflicts humanity is due to a too persistent use of this poison. The various Sanctions of the body become impaired by its use and even the bones sometimes become affected, causing aches and a ceneral feeling of debility and distress. Any one who lias used calomel or mercury in anv of its forms, will do well to follow it up with a use of Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla. This excellent alterative counteracts the evil effects of mercury and other mineral poisons. It is composed «*f strictly vege table ingredients, and there is nothing in its composition that will harm the most delicate. Good health invariably follows its use.—Springfield Health Journal. Raising Turtles. A Dexter youth has recently been en gaged in a novel enterprise. By hook or crook he captured a pair of dignified mud turtles and confined them m an old tub. One morning when he went to ex amine his treasures he discovered that the turtlette had industriously laid a nice batch of eggs. The boy kindly re membered his friends with ovate sou venirs of the occasion, and contemplates an extensive system of hatching, as far as the remainder of the litter is concern ed.—Dexter Gazette. Electric Bitters. This remedy is becoming so well known „d SO po“»S *• to »eed no Son. All who have used Fleetrn Bitters sing the same song of, P rali ?®‘, ra n- medicine does not exist and it is guam teed to do all that is claimed.

The Blight market^fOT - fancy wmst- coats is to be accounted for m the fact that the vest openings are somnffli iarge than used to be the case, and the neck wear is so much more voluminous that there is really no necessity for the dis play. Big Connecticut Pumpkins. Some farmers go away from Connecti cut and settle in the west, saying that the old state is played out in an agri cultural way, but the Nutmeg state is still somewhat on pumpkins, or else Walter Crissey, of Southington, is mis taken. Crissey set out to raise pump kins this year and succeeded. He planted eight acres ^witti field, com and in .every other hill dropped a pumpkin seed. He has just harvested the pumpkin-crop, and there are 5,000 of them, as big and round and yellow and mellow as the full harvest moon looked to he a week ago. Having gathered the 5,000 pumpkins Crissey hardly knows what to do with them, unless he builds them into a yellow pyramid like Cheops. The village arith metic man of Southington has done some figuring, and computes that each one of Walter Crissey’s pumpkins will make five ordinary pumpkin pies, and five pies multiplied by 5,000 pumpkins ought to yield pies enough to pave the. whole main street of Southington. If the pies were strung along the country in single file, tin touching tin, there ought to be more than«four miles of pumpkin pies, so the mathematician calculates.—Cor. New York Sun. The Cut of the Fall Coat. The Prince Albert coat has not realized the promise that its infrequent appear ance in light summer fabrics gave of its probable reinstatement in the fall, In fact, this coat of demi-dress has been superseded by the four button black thibet cutaway—the fourth button not intended to close in frqnt. The lapel of this coat has an unskimped appearance, and buttons low enough to favor a three inch Ascot or De Joinville scarf, upon which the best tailors now do their reck oning for waistcoat openings. The collar is also cut so as to be ample, and to achieve this effect is wider at that point immediately in the middle fine of the hack of the coat. There is a slant pocket for the Tierchief and a change pocket with flap. The coat is cut well in to the figure, and the cutaway not too sharply made, the skirts being of good length. The buttons are of silk braid, and there is a narrow row of stitching running as close as possible to the edge of the garment. It is an agreeably snave and most useful garment to the man fortunate enough to be able to possess one.—Clothier and Furnisher. In Bloomfield, N. J., a few teg was buried Adam Mdtz, awelllmown citizen. In accordance ynth lus dying wish his funeral procession was headed by a brass band, and. fourteen and about one hundredcoaches followed. An Undertakers' Combine. The Kansas undertakers have conclud ed that there are enough men engaged in that business in the^Btate to bury all the dead and propose to form a combine against new firms. Some hundred or more of them have been quietly in con vention, and a scheme has been formu lated by which the men now in business will monopolize the trade. No publicity has been given the meeting, and when questioned by newspaper correspondents they declare the organization was simply to “elevate the business.” In speaking of the business transacted one of the members said: “We simply perfected an organization which will keep down the number of men in the engage in the undertaking n sell to them, and frown down in every way on new firms. It is simply a matter of self protection for us, as there are already more undertakers in the state than the business demands.”— Cor. Kansas City Times. An Extraordinary Tow. The Leary raft towing venture is about to be cast in the shade by an ocean journey with a fleet of flat boats. The powerful ocean tugs Haviland and Heiperhausen have left the harbor here for the purpose of towing the great Nica ragua canal plant to the scene of opera tions. An ocean voyage with a mammoth dredge and a dozen scows will be made along the coast to the West Indies and thence to Greytown, Nicaragua. The dredge is now awaiting the big propeller at Charleston, S. C., where it was con structed. After the big tugs put to sea with their burden it is estimated that three weeks’ tugging will be necessary to bring the unwieldy burden into Grey town harbor.—New York Telegram Foarteeif Thousand People Present. When Hiram‘M. Miltenberger led his blushing fiancee, Miss Nora M. Coulter, out on the race track of the Elkhart County Agricultural society at Goshen, Sept. 25, and was there married to her in the presence of 14,000 people, he was the hero of the biggest wedding, so far as attendance is concerned, that ever oc curred in northern Indiana. The happy couple were the recipients of presents valued at $400, donated by the merchants of the city.—Indianapolis Sentinel. His Fifty-seventh Vote. Uncle Kenniston, of Appleton, Mo., voted for the fifty-seventh time in a state election Sept. 8 last. He cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson for president, and has never missed going to the polls and voting. As an exemplary performer of a public duty we hold him np to the attention * of younger men.—Lewiston Journal. . To Keep Lights Bright. Soak lamp wicks in vinegar before nsing them in a lamp. Wash smoke stained chimneys in warm water and soap, and rub while wet with vinegar or dry salt. They can also be cleaned, as may be globes on gas fixtures, in warm water and soda, and then in warm water ptv3 ammonia.—Exchange ' A Brooklyn jury has given Alexander F.nis a verdict of $60 in a suit brought against a druggist who furnished ex- riact of carbolic acid when a ““solution was called for.

A couple of years ago there was agreat quest for the bones “of Mozart. Now it is for the bones of Mirabeau. The play ground of a boys’ school near the Boule vard Saint Marcel has been tom up, and an amazing number of bones and skele tons have certainly been discovered, but no one can say which of them are the re mains of the great hero of the Revolu tion. The skeleton, wherever it is, has had strange experiences. Mirabeau died in 1791, and on the 4th of April his body was conveyed with extraordinary pomp to the Pantheon. His was the first in terment in the great temple that was to hold the ashes of the noblest Frenchmen. A couple c? years afterward papers were discovered that proved the people’s idol had received considerable sums of money from Louis XVL So it was de cided to cancel the public burial, and, in fact, to remove the bones. This was in effect done, but they should be buried somewhere. The leaden coffin was car ried off to the cemetery of Saint Marcel, a grave yard used for the interment of criminals. And now when the bones are wanted they cannot be identified. No leaden coffin can be discovered, and the authorities are uncertain whether to select a skeleton and do it vicarial hom age or let matters revert to their old condition.—Pall Mall Gazette: Mad Ball and Iron Horse. A big black and white bull undertook the task of butting a train off the track of the Port Townsend Southern road, about four miles north, of Tenino, one morning. It seems that a former at tempt had been unsuccessful, and un doubtedly maddened at the failure of the first attempt he determined to clean the whole train out this time or die. He died. The train was under fair headway when his mightiness was seen by the en gineer in an attitude of defiance directly in the middle of the track. The engineer blew the whistle and put on the air brakes, but Sir Boss not only refused to give way to. the approaching train, but even with lowered crest charged upon it. The shock was a great one—for the bolL The pilot struck him full in the head, killing him instantly and throwing the body slightly to one side. The combination car scraped by the body and remained on the track, but the rear trucks of the following car left the track and traveled from one side of the right of way to the other, bumping over 4he ties and tearing up both Hides of the embankment. Two wrecking frogs were soon produced, and in ten minutes the train was on its way again. — Centralia News. Made His Will Before Bobbing the Train. A startling feature -of the train rol> bery near Brew ton, Ala., was developed recently. Criminal court was in session, and Solicitor Stallings had been active in having the robbery fully investigated. He says the evidence is conclusive as to Rube Burrows being the perpetrator. He has positive evidence that only two days before the train robbery Burrows called on Capt. Green, a prominent at torney, and, disclosing his identity un- inent. • ! ' ; He said to the lawyer that he had been outlawed without a show, and a large price had been put upon his bead. He expected to be killed at any moment, and he wanted to dispose of the little he possessed in due form. He said he had some money, and his family wonld know where it was. He has a sister living about thirty miles from Brewton-, just across the Florida line, and was stopping with her at the time he had the will written. It is generally believed that Burrows had in contemplation the Escambia river bridge train robbery, and was preparing for all emergencies.—Mobile Register. Early Autumn. The country lam's ere bright with bloom. And gentle airs come stealing through Laden with nativo will perfume Of balm and mint and honey dew, And o’er the summer’s radiant flush Lies early autumn’s dreamy hush. In wayside nooks the asters gleam, And frost flowers dance about the Sod, Whfle, lapsing by, the silent stream Reflects the hue of golden rod, That flower which lights «. dusky day With something of the sun god's ray. Tlis grapevine clambers o’er,the hedge In golden festoous; sumacs burn Like torches on the distant ledge. Or light the lane at every turn. And .'vy riots t-verywhere In blood red banners on the afr. A purple mist of f ragrant-mint Borders the fences, drifting out Of fostering corners, and its tint, As half of cheer and half of doubt. Is like tho dear delightful haze Which robes the hills these autumn days. And strange wild growths are newly met; Odd things but little prized of yore.

In the committal of Fred Elder, of De troit, for vagrancy is written tho close of the life of one of the brightest news paper men Michigan ever saw. Fifteen years ago Elder, who had graduated at Amherst college with high honors and obtained his diploma from the law school, came to Michigan as a newspaper man. His mind was of the brightest, keenest kind, and he could call to mind the very page and p;uagraph of any quotation from Blackstone or Kent, and was a per fect encyclopedia on Shakespeare. He learned to play chess and became en raptured with the game. His love for chess overcame his care for food and his profession, and he lost his position. St<m by stdp he drifted down, sacrificing any^* thing for the game.—Detroit Cor. Rhila- delphia Press. j A “IMmpIo" and a Spark. A fire was caused in a singular way the other day in Highland park, opposite New Brunswick, N. J. The handsome country residence o'f Peter Zimmerman was discovered to be on fire. The flames were first seen in a bay window at the east end of the third story hall, where the sun was shining in. It is concluded that the fire was started by a dimple in - the window glass contracting the sun’s rays. The flames were quickly extin guished by nsing water from the tank on the roof.—Philadelphia Ledger. The Buffalo fire department has lately received a novel' fire engine which has excited innch interest in that city. The carriage is constructed entirely of-papier macbe, all the different parts of the Body, wheels, poles and the rest being finished in the best possible manner. While the durability and powers of re sistance possessed by this material are folly as great‘as those of wood, the weight is of course much less. Wootton,” George* W. Childs’ coun try home at Bryn Mawr, is regarded as one of the most expensively maintained country ^places in the United States. The wages of the servants alone amount to $1,000 a month. A new stable is in process of erection on the grounds at an estimated cost of $40,000. A Kurgan man sunk a shaft on his farm the other day, and in going down 100 feet, it is said, struck two five foot veins of mineral paint, a ten foot stratum of brick clay, a twenty inch vein of coal end a five foot stratum of marble. The Roumanian government has offer ed prizes to the architects of all nations for the best plans for its new assembly and senate chambers. The first prize, for each building is $8,000; the second, $1,600; third, $800. Dr. Pierce’s Pellets regulate the stom ach, liver and bowels. Mild and effect ive. A Shotgun 7?oll Gate. A bold highwayman appears to have established a shotgun toll gate in the Pipestone pass, about twelve miles south of Butte, Mont., and is demanding his tolls with a regularity that smacks of the good old days. About a month since a slender, soft voiced young man, wearing a piece of overalls for a mask, commenced asking for contributions from people passing this point, and all were made tributary, not even the wood haulers being exempt, and he made np in numbers what was lacking in individual amounts. This was kept up for a few days, then the Pipestone was deserted, and the Cham pion stage was brought under the per suasive influence. Today word comes to this city that this modem Claude Duval has returned to Pipestone, and that five new victims have been added to the list. The amounts taken in each instance have been small, but the frequency of the de mand has made it burdensome, and the people living in that section are organiz ing td endeavor to discourage his efforts in that line.—Cor. Minneapolis Tribune. A Clock-You Need Never Wind. T. G. Farrar, of Columbus, O., has in vented one of the most peculiar clocks of -ithe Nineteenth century. It consists of a plate glass dial suspended from the' ceiling, and all the parts of it that are visible are the two hands, the pivot upon which they swing and the dial. Mr. Farrar worked on the invention for six years before he succeeded in perfecting it. He alleges that the only motive without winding. The hands are of tin and are hollow, and perfectly balanced on the pivot. Mr. Farrar says that they are moved by the gravitation of the earth, and it puz zles the spectator to account for the power that raises them after they reach 6:80. All kinds of theories are afloat to account for this. But Mr. Farrar keeps his secret. He insists that electricity is not the motive power.—New York Jour nal. A Rattlesnake’s Skin for a Belt. Capt. Wright, the raisin superintend ent for Logan & Adams, had' a close call the other day. He was running a hand basket along under the vines, and throwing Muscat3 in it as he picked them. Suddenly he heard a click or snapping sound, as though some part of the basket had broken. Lifting it np he was surprised to find an ugly, wrig gling rattlesnake follow. It had struck Capt. Wright’s hand and buried its fangs in the wicker handle of the basket an inch from the captain’s forefinger. No time was lost in killing the deadly rep tile, and its skin is now being fashioned in a belt for a Phoenix journalist’s sweet heart.—Phoenix (Cal.) Herald. Deer Slaughtered by a Uocomotive- The Eastern Minnesota railway’s limited train left Mansfield north bound twenty-seven minutes late. Five miles this side of the station, while the train was running nearly sixty miles an hour, an immense herd of deer dashed across the track at the entrance of a cot. It was too late to stop, and the train struck into the herd, killing a great number. The train passed through the herd, throwing them right and left, but did not stop. When the train arrived here a magnificent specimen buck, deer was found dfcad on top of the engine pilot. The engineer estimates the herd at over 100.—Duluth Cor. St. Paul Globe. A' Wonder Worker. Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that lie had been under the care of two prominent physi cians, and used their treatment until he was not able to get around. They pro nounced his case to be consumption and incurable. He was persuaded to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds and at. that time was not able to walk across the street without resting. He found before he had used half of a dollar bottle, that he was much better; he continued to use it and is to-day enjoying good health. If yon have any throat, lung or chest trouble try it.

By telegraph and letter, however, five bids were received and twenty lots of land were sold. This absence of bidders in person rendered the sale the most novel in the annals of the state. A cucumber on exhibition at Mont gomery, Ala., is 33 inches long, 12} inches wide.and weighs 60f pounds. It is called the “Centennial,” and the patch in which it grew is full of encumbers weighing from one pound to the weight of the one mentioned. Hon.

Between the “mutilated” nickels— with some of their metal removed, flat tened on one side and bulged out on the other, like a had vegetable can—and the Canadian sixpences, which are still put off on the unwary, to escape vexation one must keep a bright lookout on “change.” Street car conductors and -even some ticket agents continue to put out this uncurrent money for dimes. It is not the loss of the few cents on each of these occasions which is vexatious; it is having the bad or un current piece re turned to you in a style as though yon were the original defaulter in the prem ises. And if the everyday keenness of the man or woman of the world is so often caught with these horrid little pieces, how much more often must the ignorant or the elderly be victimized at the hands of such petty sharpers? To some people who have to lose a five or a ten cent piece in this way it means the loss of a long car ride or oLa dinner. Wherefore, scrutinize your “change” bit by bit, dirty as a good deal of it is, and the dirtier it is the more suspicions. Honest silver currency ought to get a bath now and then in private hands. Some people do drop theirs occasionally in a bowl of water in order that their portemonnaies and waistcoat pockets may- be kept clean. Silver currency, ought not to he as bad with handling as paper money gets, but the bulk of it in use now i3 so dirty as to make us want to handle it only in wrappings of tissue paper, like a London doctor’s fee.—Phil adelphia Ledger. • Hints for Amateur Actresses. To the ladies only a word or so. Avoid powder on your arms, especially in love scenes. It is bound to come off on the lover’s coat. It is a pity to spoil the coat, and it is a worse pity to detract the audience’s attention from the scene to his misfortunes. If you wear a train be sure to make wide turns. A woman may manage her train charmingly in the ballroom, and yet find herself awkward about it on the stage. # Don't carry flowers or fans or hand kerchiefs or hats or dogs, unless the piece requires it, and unless you know just what yon are to do with such arti cles when you get on the stage—just when you are to get rid of them—or yoti will find yourself with both hands mfi at the very moment when the villain has to seize you by both wrists, etc.; or when you ought to throw your arms about your father’s neck yon will find one hand engaged with an open parasol or something of the sort. To all of yon—Don’t try too hard to “act.” Youjvill act all the better if you keep cool, and so don’t get mixed about your lines and situations. One big rule for always—Play what ever part you are cast for earnestly and conscientiously. It isn’t the part; it is the actor thkt makes a performance a good one or not. —Emma Y. Sheridan in Ladies’ Home Journal. Friendless. It is remarkable how a single word, unaffectedly uttered, will sometimes re- perience of a human - heart. Not long ago a friend of ours invited a small party of orphan children from an asylum to spend an hour of a X'Tednesday afternoon at his house. They manifested, each in a way that nature prompted or education allowed? the most eager delight. It was evidently a rich treat to them in their lonely state. It would have done any body’s heart good to see and hear them. As he was distributing among them the contents of a basket of oranges he chanced to hear one of the little girls say to a com panion who was sitting at her side: “I know why Mr. has invited ns to his house; it is because we haven’t any friends. I haven’t had a friend come to see me for five years!” Only 12 years old, and not to have seen the face of one friend for five long years! —New York Ledger. Coal Washing;. A coal washing plant has been erected at a colliery in Yorkshire, Eng. The plant has a capacity of 400 tons per day, but has dealt with 500 tons by the wet process. The system adopted is carefully sizing the smudge and automatically washing and rewashing after crushing the various sizes. The plant is driven by a 100 horse power steam engine, and the water used in the process of washing is circulated by means of a powerful cen trifugal pump, which, when in foil work, circulates nearly five tons of water per minute. The object in erecting this plant was to produce a high class coke out of a mixture of very dirty hard and soft smudge. The coke produced is of uni form quality, and the ash in the coke is steadily kept below 4 per cent. Besides the preparation of the smudge for the coke ovens a quantity of small peat, suitable for fuel, is produced by the washer.—New York Commercial Adver tiser. We’ve heard of a woman who said she’d walk five miles to get a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription if she couldn’t get it without. That woman had tried it. And it’s a medicine which makes itself felt in toning up the system and correcting irregularities as soon as its use is beghn. Go to your drug store, pay a dollar, get a bottle and try it—try a second, a third if necessary. Before the third one’s been taken you’ll know that there’s a remedy to help you. Then you’ll keep on and a cure’ll come. But if you shouldn’t feel the help, should be disappointed in the results—-you’ll find a guarantee printed on the bottle-wrapper that’ll get your money back for you. , How many women are there who would rather have the money than their health? And “Favorite Prescription” produces health. Wonder is that there’s a woman willing to suffer when there’s a guaran teed remedy in the nearest drug store. Looking Ahead. Little Johnny’s father had been elected commander of a grand army post—an honor of which he had good reason to he proud. Johnny could not conceal his exultation when he heard the news. “Oh, papa, I’m so glad you’ve got to be a commander!” he said. “Thank yon,” said his father. “But rain you tell me, my son, why you are so glad?” “’Cause you’ll have soldiers at your funeral!” answered Johnny.—Youth’s Companion. Something New to Compete For. Dink Melvin, a veteran fisherman on the waters adjacent to Albany, is con sidered the most expert bateau paddler in this section. He offers to wager $100 that in the swiftest current he can paddle a boat eighteen inches wide between two posts nineteen inches apart.—Cor. At- Ifyntn. Constitution. A Sandwicli Men's Union. The sandwich men of London, esti mated to number some 15,000, are being urged to combine and form a trades union for the redress of their grievances and the protection of their interests. It is pointed out that their average wages range from Is. to 18d. a day, for which they have to work nine or ten hours. Nor. is this the worst, for it not infre quently happens that these peripatetic advertisers apply in vain for employ ment three or four days in succession. Their chief complaint is against the con tractor, or middle men, who, they al- ' lege, charge double what tlley pay. The question has now been taken up by the labor bureau of the Salvation Army, which has issued an appeal to various religious, philanthropic and com mercial societies inviting them to assist in the movement. This body undertakes to supply bill distributors and sandwich- men at the rate of 2s. 2d. a day, the two shillings going to the men themselves and the odd pence toward the payment of expenses. The discovery has been made that a large proportion of the men of this class in London are discharged soldiers without pensions, and as many of them have young families to support their destitute condition can easily be realized.—London Letter. Chinese as Bank Bobbers, v A St. Paul dispatch to The Chicago Tribune says: “On the arrival of the Chicago, St. Paul and Omaha train this morning Detective Mason placed under arrest Wing Shoo and Gee Sham, two Chinamen on their way from New York to Portland. The robbery for which the Celestials were held was that of the safe of one of the largest banking establish ments in The Dalles, Ore. The safe was blown open and robbed of $10,000 on Sept. 15. It was found that the robbers had tunneled under the building from a long distance, and had calculated cor rectly where to strike under the bank vault: “There was at first no clew to the per petrators of the hold deed. Suddenly suspicion was directed toward several. Chinamen. Some arrests followed and a part of the money was fonnd. The authorities got on tho track of the two who arrived in St. Paul this morning, and their coming was awaited by de tectives. Tho two Chinamen were searthed and four large knives were found in their possession, on the blades of which was sandy soil, which is re garded as proof that the men were en gaged in making the underground pas- A Room Town in Kentucky. “Fifteen months ago,” saysa man who has just been there, “there were not a dozen people in Middlesborough, Ky. Now it has a population of 6,000. An English syndicate worth $20,000,000 is building the town. They have spent $300,000 in straightening a creek which runs through it, and have encircled it with a seventeen mile dummy lina They have put up electric cars and elec tric light and. have about completed seven furnaces.

Mr. Arthur, the manager for the syndi cate, gets $35,000 a year for his services, and last Christmas they made him a present of $50,000.—New York Tribune. Frait Scarce. Housekeepers are put to their wits’ ends this autumn for winter supplies in the way of relishes and preserves. All fruit is so scarce and so high that such table goodies have become this year posi tive luxuries. In this regard a Brooklyn woman was overheard the other morning to make a remark nearly as unique in its way as the famous one of Marie Antoin ette anent the starving Parisian popu lace. Her Brooklyn prototype had in quired the price of plums at a grocer’s and resentfully replied to tho high rate he gave her; “"Why, 1 can preserve noth ing this fall at such prices; my family will have to live on canned and dried fruits”—wholly overlooking the fact that the French queen’s “buns from the pas try cook’s” were scarcely more accessible than her alternative will be during the coming season.—New York Times. Improvements in Smoke Suppression. Determined attempts are being made in Chicago to suppress the blinding smoke that is blown ashore from passing steam craft. An experiment was made recently to demonstrate the practicabil ity of* a new invention. A small tube with a perforated top, like that in a sprinkling can, was introduced into the smokestack, and through this steam could be injected upon the uprushing smoke, which immediately condensed. The little tube, with its jets aud sprays m steam, is not asmoke cojssuner, but there seems little doubt of its utility in the prevention of smoke.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Grant’s Old War Horse. The horse that Gen. Grant used throughout his army experience is still alive and not far from St. Louis. The general made a present of the horse to Judge Long, an old friend of his and a gentleman well known in St. Louis. He kept the horse for a long time, and when he began to get old and feeble he sent him to the old -Sappington farm, not far from the city.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Sad Neglect.

Dur ing a recent tempest there was showered from the skies neither hailstones nor raindrops, but grains of millet.
