His First Start. .Tny Gould when before tho Honato Committee said: “I was born in Box- bury, Delaware county, New York, on May 37, 1836. My parents had a small farm and kept twenty cows which I as sisted in tending. I attended school about fifteen miles distant, and when I was about fourteen yours old obtained a situation in a store in a neighboring vil lage.^ I was much interested in mathe matics, and used to get up at three o'clock in the morning and study till six, when the store wns opened. I re mained in the store for two years when I made tho acquaintance of a surveyor who was making a survey of Ulster county. He took mo into his service nt a salnry of twenty dollars per month. J learnod that my employer’s credit was mployer’s I was to money for my work nntil the map was completed, so that I made sun-dials for the inrmers at one dollar apiece to pay my expenses.

"And so you thought kleptomania an elegant synonym for plnin stealing?” said a well known retail- dry goods mer chant to a St. Louis Pont-Dttpatch re porter, who had expressed somo doubts on tile subjeot. "Oil, no; tlioro aro in St, Louis dosons of ludies, tho wives or daughters of wealthy citizens, who aro addicted to kleptomania.

She both confessed and la mented lior unhappy propensity, hut clnimcd that she was nimble to control this horrible liuhit. She gavo me her name and address, and when I verified them I put the enso down ns 0110 of kleptomania, nnd subsequent events proved that I was right." A CONTRAST. "There is a world of difference bo- twoon tho yonng man who works nqiuul- ruplex Instrument in n large city and a railroad tolegrnpli operator. The former is a well dretised person, who sits in his chair and rattles off messages without apnrent effort. But tho railroad operator’s life is not a happy 0110. In nddition to his duties a» operator lionets as tickot agent, handles freight nnd sometimes turns the switch. Ilis salary is also less than that of his city brother. The wonder is that more accidents do not occur on rends whuro 0110 man lins all these duties to nttend to. Thousands of lives are daily entrusted to liis earn, and the omission of a fuw clicks from his brass sounder might send scores of travelers to a horrible death. In small towns the manager of tho telegraph of- Aco is an important personage. Ho ranks with the Inwyer nnd the doctor in tho esteem of his townnfolks. Tho ar rival of 11 green operator is a source of great amusement in some oAieos. The fastest sender in the vicinity gets a newspaper and sends tho now nrrivnl columns of imaginary‘specials.’ Ficti tious Chincso cables resembling wash checks are given to the novice, with orders to 'rush it.’ Wonderful Shooting. At the Maine military encampment tho 100 men selected to give an exhibi tion skirmish shoot for tho benefit of visitors did some wonderful shooting and received many compliments from the visitors. One thousand shots were Hrod, each man Aring Ave shots on ad vance and Ave on retreat. The d istaneos wore from eighty to 200 yards. Tho total hits on tho tnrgot (a No. 3) were 960 out of a possible 1,000. Tho anal ysis shows 76 lmlll s-eyes, 363 centres, 836 inners, 195 outers. When it is re membered that the size of the target is not larger than the space occupied by two average men standing side by side, some conception of tho wonderful accur- »cy of tho shooting may ho gained.

"Mo and my clnim wore digging halt that morn- inp to go Ashing, when pa onmo out and said. 'Hennery I don’t boliove anything hut hard work will reform you.

When wo got dime I came in nud found ma had finished the grab-bag, nnd hail it all loaded, with tho top fastened with a puckering string, and luing on the buck of a chair. Ma was up-stairs getting her Sunday clothes on, to go to the Bootable, so it didn't tnko mo and my oliiini long to ompty tho bog and get first choice. ‘Thou 1 got our nuitiHo trap and took it to the barn, and can pi it two nice big fnt mice and 1 put 'em in a collar hex with holes cntlu It to givo 'em air, nnd dropped that in the hag.

Land, Labor and Capital. Professor Sumner of Yale College has just published a little volume entitled "Whnt Social Classes Owe to Each Other," in which occurs the following apt illustration of the relations of laud, labor aud capital to production: “The Arabs liavo a story of a man who doBiroil to test whioli of his three sons loved him moBt. Ho sent them out to see which of the throe would tiring him the most valuable present. The three sons mot in a distant oity, anil compared tho gifts they had found. The flrst had a carpet on which he could transport himsolf aud others withersoever lie would. The second had a medicine that would ouro any dis ease. Tho third lmd a glass in whioh ho could see what was going on at home; ho saw his father ill in bed. The first truiiHportcd all three to their home on tiie carpet. The second administered the medicine and saved the father's life. Tho perplexity of the fnther when ho hud to decide which son’s gift hod beon of tho most value <0 him illus trates very fairly the difficulty of Baying whether land, labor or capital is most psBontinl to production. No production is possible without tho co-operation of nil three.
