THE DEAR, SWEET FACE.
There’s a face I love most dearly—
A face I seldom see.
It’s features cut so clearly—
How sweet it is to me.
I'yo longed forlo! these many years
This dear face to possess,
Tc feel that it was mine alone
To fondle and caress
But as the years glide swift along.
And zephyrs gently blow
Thro’ whiskers mine that onee were brown,
But now as white as snow,
1 Possession of this dear, sweet face
A long way off still seems;
» I see it ever and anon—
But mostly in my dreams.
I've tried and tried and tried again—
Pd give shirts, cuffs and collars
To press once more the dear, sweet face
That’s stamped on silver dollars
—Jake Adelgh. in Brooklyn Life.
ONE DAY’S FISHING.
“Like a blooming idiot,” said the
major, “I agreed to take the colonel
fishing.
“Well, the next afternoon, whicji
was Saturday, he came around with
a fishing rod that I gave him, and
when I got into the cab blame me if
I he didn’t have a trunk. ‘Got my
things in that,’ said he, and may I
[ eternally fry if there weren’t things
enough in that trunk to stock a
pawnshop. By ged, he had every
-1 thing from evening clothes to a
patent boot jack. But he hasn't
them any more,” and the major
chuckled.
“We started for Mud Run, out in
( Pennsylvania. I'd never been there
before, but a man told me there was
good fishing there. He was a liar,
t by the way.
“About the time we got started
the colonel wanted to smoke, and by
the hind hobs of Gehenna if he
hadn’t packed all the cigars in that
bloody trunk. When I cussed he
tried to get up in the baggage car
and was nearly killed. Then he got
some bad cigars from the porter and
I growled for an hour steady. Pretty
soon he wanted a drink and the
whisky was in that confounded
trunk.
“The woman at the hotel where
we got out said It was too late to
get anything to eat, and the colonel
got mad and called me a burbling
chump for dragging him out into the
wilderness.
“When the boy waked us in the
morning the colonel kicked because
he had to get up so early. He had
the deuce of a time finding his things
in that infernal trunk and he kicked
because I got impatient.
“The woman at the hotel looked
queer when we got down. ‘Going
fishing?’ says she. ‘You'd better
look out for the constable. It’s
against the law to fish round here
Su'ndays.’
“Then the colonel got suspicious,
and said he didn't want to be locked
up. I got him into the wagon and
the driver says: ‘Better look out for
the constable. It’s against the law
to fish round here Sundays.’
“‘Say,’says the colonel, ‘l’mnot
going to get locked up and bring
eternal disgrace upon my family.’ j
phpked him off finally, and we
started. Then we met a farmer anc|
he 'lowed that we d get in trouble if
fse fished pn Sunday. The driver
gpinned qnd the colonel, ]ike ti«e
pternal galoot he is, spys: ‘J told y< n
qp,’ It took me about ten minutes
fp choke him off, but he growled a||
tfie way to the stream.
“Say,” continued the major, “did
you ever see the colonel catch trout?
No? Well, neither did anybody else.
He couldn’t catch a trout in a week
of leap years. By ged, it was a sight
to see him whip the stream. It was
like driving balky mules over a broken
bridge. He banged that river until
half the fish in it were scared to
death,and I guess he thought he could
catch trout by knocking them stone
dead with his rod. He lost about
two dozen flies trying to cast half
the length of his rod and then he got
his line all tangled up in the bushes.
Did you ever hear the colonel swear?
Well, hod carriers and river pirates
aren’t in it with the colonel. Talk
about breaking the Sabbath. Why,
the colonel swore enough to send an
army to pedition for eternity.
“While the colonel was cussing
everything in sight the driver carqe
fearing down the road, waving his
jiands like a windmill in full sail.
'“‘Hi!’ he yelled, ‘the poustable’tj
coming, and he's after you, too
Ypu’d better get. Cut up through
the woods there, and I'll iqeet you
the turn of the pike. ’
“We didn’t know where the turn
of the pike was, but the colonel
grabbed me by the arm and hustled
up into the woods. When we got
under cover he was steaming like a
soap factory, and cussing me, too.
“ ‘Wliat in the name of thunder
did you ever bring me out here for?
You want to get me arrested, do
you?’
“I was that speechless that 1
cowldn't answer. I just stood and
looked at him. Pretty soon I re
covered.
‘ “ ‘Brought ypp opt here?’ ?aid J.
‘You blooming o|qt pf idiocy, who
brought you pyt here? You came
yourself.’
"fhen the colonel got madder than
pver, and he wouldn't talk again.
Put that was a mercy.
“It was getting along toward dark
when we got to the hotel. The
colonel was prancing up to the front
floor when the man who drove the
team came out of the barn.
“ ‘Hey,’ says he, ‘the constable's
waiting foj you fellows. He's over
to the hotel. ’
“Maybe I and the colonel didn’t
’ run. We just lit out and hung
around in the brush until it was
plump dark. Then we crawled back
to the hotel, but the constable was
still sitting there.
“Then the colonel tried to make a
bolt to the woods and the constable
saw him. With a whole sack in full
The Hartwell Sun.
cry after us, the colonel aiid I rah
down the hill. I guess we outdis
tanced the constable and his crew.
But after awhile they came after us
with lanterns and we had to run
again. Up in the heavy brush they
lost us, and when we got our wind
we struck out for the railroad.
“The nearest station was ten
miles off, and the colonel was nearly
dead before we got half way there.
He sat down on a tie and swore
that he was dying. He was wet
through and about the most misera
ble man that ever cussed a streak of
hard luck.
‘ ‘The colonel got so bad that I got
some chips and started a fire by the
railroad track. He lay down beside
it and began to get dry. He was
just beginning to grunt when there
was a roar down the road and
the train came puffing round the
curve.
“The first thing the engineer saw,
I guess, was our fire, and then you
should have hoard the racket. He
just turned all his steam into his
pld whistle and tooted like a fiend
possessed. The train came to a
standstill by our fire, and then the
conductor came racing up, swearing
awfully. I got out. The colonel ex
postulated, but they were so mad
that they were going to thrash him.
I got on the platform of the last car,
and blow me if they would let the
colonel get on. He prayed and
pleaded, but the conductor said no,
and the train started, with the colo
nel doing more cussing.
“When the last car was abreast,
however, the colonel grubbed fhp
hand bar and hung on for his life.
He took steps about four yards long
and when the train got going he just
sailed out behind. I yanked and
pulled till I got him aboard. My! I
thought he was going to die. But
he didn't. After awhile fie begpq
swearing again, and then 1 felt per
lieved.
“After we had gone about ten
miles we got up in the car. The
colonel went first, but he hadn’t
taken two steps when he fell back
with a gasp,
“ 'What’s the matter,' says I,
“ ‘Matter?’ says he. ‘The consta
ble's in thut car.'
“And, sure enough, he was. Then
we went, out on the step and sat in
the cold. The colonel shivered till
he rocked the car and he more than
lit into me. Say, I've been sworn at
in fifteen different languages, but
the way the colonel sailed into mo
was art. I sat there and groaned
and for about twenty miles the train
left a streak of blue behind.
“We rode on the tail of that car
fr»r fifty miles and the colonel swore
all the way. Every time we came to
a station we got off and hid. And
after every station the colonel was
worse than ever.
“Finally, it got so bad that I got
desperate and went into the ear.
The constable was gone. I asked a
red-nosed man. in the back seat
where the constable was, and he
told me that the constable had left
tlje train an hour before. And
tifere we two blooming chumps
pq that platform al| that time.'
!( I let the colonel sit there far
about an hour more before I went
out and told him. And then you
should have heard him curse. It
was awful, and I had to leave him.
I haven't seen him since.”
Just then a limp figure came
slouching around the corner. When
it saw the major, there was a start
of surprise. It made a vain attempt
to escape discovery. The major
saw, and with a dash he secured the
cringing form. It was the colonel.
“Colonel,” said the major, “let
bygones be bygones.”
“They are,” said the colonel.
“Let’s take a drink."
And they did. —N. Y. World.

INTO A IYGINU.
i Perilous Descent of a Woman
Aeronaut at San Francisco.
She Is Accompanied by a Clever Llrtla
Monkey Who I'intl.-i un Easy Land
ing Place in the Day and Is
Easily Pescuede
“Good heavens! She will be im
paled on the mast of that ship!”
The situation was a thrillirtg one.
Up in the air three thousand feet
above that arm of the bay lying be
tween Sausalito and Angel island
an immense bag of hot air was visi
bly collapsing. Immediately below
it two specks —one larger than the
other —were falling, falling to what
seemed a cruel death. Two lives
hung on the direction and force of a
fickle current of air—one of those
lives that of a nervy, careless wom
an, whom many of the breathless
spectators had admired and criticised
at close range but a few moments
before. The other speck was an in
nocent little monkey.
Handbills had been got out to
the effect that on Sunday the cele
brated, world-famous “aeroliste,"
Elizabeth Keyes, would make a stu
pendous parachute descent at Sau
salito, and that Jennie Jan-Jun, the
clever monkey, would do ditto.
They were about three thousand
feet from the earth’s surface and
still going eastward when the dang
ling specks beneath the inflated ball
were seen to become detached.
Then it was that a general cry of
horror arose. Directly beneath the
spot where the two breathing specks
must fall lay a big ship, the W. T.
Walker, with her naked masts up
turned with tapering suggestive
ness.
Down, down came the parachutes
with cruel swiftness. The moments
seemed like, hours. Another trage
dy, such as has been so common in
aeronautics of late, seemed inevita
ble.
“She has struck!” “No she
hasn't!” “Yes, she has!” were the
whispered estimates of the specta
tors, and the parachute was umongt
the Walker's rigging.
The woman just escaped the main
mast, and then the big umbrella to
which she clung caught on a yard,
bringing up Miss Keyes with a fear
ful jerk and a wrench. She hung
suspended helplessly between sky
and buy, afraid to stir lest the para
chute should bo dragged over the
yard and she be precipitated to the
deck below.
Speedily the seamen on board ran
up the rigging and secured the par
achute, when the during woman was
reached and assisted to the deck.
Hence she soon camo ashore in a
launch and walked to her everyday
clothes, protesting in a dazed, nerv
ous way that she was “al) right.”
And the monk? Why, he fell
clear off the ship into the bay, clung
to his parachute like a gritty little
simian until picked up, and will
probably be forced to repeat this (to
him) senseless flying act another
day.—San Praqpjsco Call.
Early American Slavery.
In 1788 the captain of a vessel in
Boston seized three colored persons,
took them to the West Indies, and
sold them there for slaves. This
event caused the legislature of Mas
sachusetts to pass a law to prevent
the slave trade in that state, and
for granting relief to the families of
such persons as may be kidnaped
or decoyed from the commonwealth.
The law subjected to a heavy penal
ty any person who should forcibly
take or detain any negro for the
purpose of transportation as a slave,
and the owner of the vessel on
which such kidnaped man should
be carried away incurred also a
heavy penalty. The insurance on
the vessel was made void, and the
relatives of the person kidifaped,
if the latter were sold into slavery
in a distant country, were allowed
to prosecute for the crime.
The Sun’s Heat.
An Indian gazette gives an ac
count of the protective effect of cer
tain ppfous against the sun’s rays,
ft is urged that no one has ever been
a victim to sunstroke or sun fever
through a dark source of heat. It
is said it is not the heat rays which
act injuriously, but the chemical
ones. As a photographer treats his
plates by enveloping them in yellow
or red, so, a correspondent says, he
treated his body. All the linings of
his hats and coats were yellow,
with the satisfactory result that af
tt* n * trial of five years, even often
under circumstances or extreme ex
posure, there was no return of eith
er fever or sunstroke, to both of
which the writer declares himself to
have previously been a victim.

The Best Blood Remedy.
August A. Kliges, 810 St. Charles
street. Baltimore, Md., writes : “From
my youth I suffered from a poisonous
taint in my blood. My face and body
was continually affected with eruptions
and sores. lam now 42 years of age
and had been treated both in Germany
and America, but no remedy overcame
the trouble until 1 used Botanic Blood
Balm. My skin is cleqr. smooth and

During thj year 1891 two hun
dred and five lives were lost (dial .vu
know of) in the United State;, cast
of the Rocky mountains, directly
through the action of lightning.
How many were lost indirectly, and
how many cases there were of shat
tered health and more or less per
nranent injury, we can only surmise.
The financial loss due directly to
lightning was certainly not below
one aud a half million dollars. To
get at something like a commercial
estimate of the damage done by
lightning in the past few years, in
this country, I have made use of the
Chronicle fire tables for the six
years 1885-1890, and find that some
twenty-two hundred and twenty
three fires, or 1.3 per cent, of the
whole number, w»re caused by
lightning, and the total loss was $3,-
SBt>,< c: 2 : , or 1,25 per eoqt, of the
whole amount lost by fire. During
1892 we have a record of two hun
dred and ninety-two lives lost. The
damage may be estimated at as high
a figure as in 1891. These losses are
the more appalling when we recall
that the year is virtually less than
six months. Over ninety-five per
cent, of the casualties due to light
ning occur between the months of
April and September. It Is there
fore quite pertinent at this time to
discuss th" qu 'stion whether or not
we are al l - to protect ourselves
from lightning. Some five years ago
the question would have been an
swered readily and withall since - ’ y:
“Yes, a good electrical connection
the earth—-a stout, continuous
copper rod, for example—will suf
fice.” To-day no such answer can
pass unchallenged, for reasons which
we shall see. —Popular Science
Monthly.
Electricity on the Canals.
Inventors are still at work on the
problem of electrically propelling
canal boats, and a series of interest
ing experiments is to be tried this
summer on the Erie canal, near
Rochester, N. Y. One of the chief
difficulties in the way of a success
ful adaption of t|ie trolley system to
the propelling of canal boats has
been that the beats, unlike street
pars, uro not guided by trucks, and,
besides, very rarely travel In a
straight line. To overcome this
difficulty a laterally moving trolley
wire has been invented, which,
mows sideways in accordance with
Hhe motion of the boat, and permits
•the trolley wh--cl to be kept in con
stant electric contact with the feed
wire. The laterally moving wires
are supported on tranverse guy
wires by travelers which permit a
sideway motion of the wire. The
use of the laterally moving conduct
tion wires permits a fast boat to pass
a slow pne going in the same dirw.
tion, and enables the boatmen to
|*un their boats to a dock on c-ither
side of th*' canal and to turn the
boats around where the widtlj \if
the canal permits, canal at
Rochester, where experiments are
|O be made with the new system,
contains sharp curves, long curves,
pverhead bridges and u lock, so thut
the practical operation of the new
system cun be demonstrated under
all the circumstances that would be
encountered anywhere on the Erie
canal. If the experiments prove
successful, as expected, it is esti
mated that an introduction of the
system would double the present
carrying capacity of the Erie canal.

What Is Heaven?
The natives of Botocudes, one of
hottest regions of the earth, believe
that heaven will be a land of cool
streams and shady groves entirely
cleared of all underbrush and cacti!
All desert-dwellers, it is said, die
expecting to awake in a wooded
land supplied bountifully with cold
water. Natives of the frozen north
have Paradise pictured as a land of
warm sunshine, with glowing fires
overhung with pots of boiling whale’s
blubber and easeful couches of fur*
scattered here and there, The Car ;
pllne Islanders, who are passionate?
fond of liquor, but who are in
mortal dread of breaking their
necks by falling from one of the mil

floor, where one can get drunk and
not be in constant dread of cracking
his cervical vertebrae.

Scenes Around the Court of Honor
j.t the Word’s Fair.
The Court of Honor at the world’s
fair is the center of architectural in
terest, whether seen by morning,
sunset or electric evening light, and
the most conservative spectator can
not restrain his enthusiasm when
this glorious sight first meets his
eyes. The court surrounds the
great basin and is bounded on the
north, west and south by the build
ing of M nufuetures and Liberal
Arts and by the Administration and
the Agricultural buildings respec
tively, while across the eastern end
runs the magnificent Grecian peri
style with its four rows of columns
one hundred and fifty feet high, sep
arated midway by a noble arch sur
rnounted by a quadriga, the columns
adorned by eighty-five allegorical
figures which stand out bravely
against the blue waters of Lake
Michigan and the bluer sky above.
At the western end of the court
rises the grand gilded dome of the
Administrate i building and direct
ly in front of it the Mac-Mon
nies fountain, so-called from the
artists who planned it. The
fentrul figure of the fountain is a
fine statue representing Columbia
enthroned in a triumphal barge,
rowed and guided by noble sculp
tured figures on either side. Tritons
and mermaids are sporting in the
great lake on which the barge floats,
and the numerous tall jets of water
th»'o>v themselves at length down a
flight of wide steps to the central
basin. Opposite the fountain is a
stupendous gilded statue of the Re
public, represented by a stately fig?
ure of a woman sixty feet high with
various symbolic df'Vk’es. In the
geriepoua water space between the
fountain and statue, electric and
steam launches with gay awnings,
also graceful gondolas, with pictur
esque oarsmen, are constantly ply
ing. By sunset light, when the
statues on the peristyle and other
buildings are touched with a bright
glow, or when, in the evening, the
long rows of electric lights creep
c.<t one by one and are reflected in
the waters, tho scene surpasses
anything thut pen or tongue can
describe, and impresses on the spec
tator a picture which will shine
brightly in memory as long as mem
ory endures. —N. Y. Ledger.
An Author’s Pretty Home.
The house built by Mr. Rudyard
Kipling for himself in the midst of
the hills near Brattleboro, Vt . is
charmingly situated, and commands
a superb view of meadow, mountain
and wixxlland, including a prospect
of Mount Monadnoek and other New
Hampshire peaks. The house itself
is a long frame structure, two stories
and a half in height above the irreg
ularly laid foundation of stone, and
is painted in wood greens and browns
that harmonize pleasantly with the
hillside at its back. In spite of
posters, Mr. Kipling has had diffi
culty in keeping too-curious visitors
off his land and out of the house
Itself. Near the now dwelling is the
homestead of the Balestiers, into
whose family Mr. Kipling married,
and within easy walking distance is
the tiny cottage where Mr. and Mrs.
Kipling have spent thp winter and
are still biding the completion of
their larger home. Mr. J. Lock
wood Kipling, the novelist's father,
who is now staying with them, has
been for twenty-eight years in the
civil service in India His son
parently takes kindly to American
rural life, and may be met tramping
about the wooded roads, gun in hand,
in heavy boots, shooting suit and
huge gra}- felt hat wreathed with a
white pugree —a picturesque figure
who might have stepped out of a
book of subtropical adventure.—

Where the Little Things That Are
Needed Coma From.
How the Flags, l.an>ps, OU, Pencils, Pa- .
per, Brooms, Soap, Etc., Are Supplied |
—Two Requisitions Given for Sam
ples— Purchasing Agent's W ork.
Did you ever stop to consider|
where all the little things used on a j
railroad come from? Where the en- j
gineer gets his oil cans and oil and
waste, the brakeman his flags and
lanterns, the station agent his en
velopes and pencils and glass to re
place broken panes, the car cleaner
his brooms and sponges and soap?
The men might buy all these things
themselves, but that would be a very
expensive way, for some of the great
railroads spend 15,000,000 a year
tor these apparently little things.
Every railroad has an officer called
the purchasing agent, who buys all
the articles that are constantly
needed. He has nothing to do with
buying the locomotives or cars or
rails; it is only the “little” things
that he has to spend sometimes;
fa,000,000 a year for.
On the Ist of each month the
head of each department and every
station agent make what is called a
requisition upon the purchasing
agent for the supplies that they will
need for that month; that is, they
jpake out a list of the Reticles and
send it to headquarters. The pur
chasing agent looks over all these
lists, audits them, as it is called,
and strikes out some of the items
when he thinks that too much has
been asked for. When the list is cut
down to what he thinks is right he
puts his initials upon it, and it is
sent to one of the principal officers
of the road, who also approves it.
When it comes back to the purchas
ing agent approved, he sends an
order to the supply department and
the goods are shipped to their des- ;
tinatlon.
The variety of things that the pur-1
chasing agent has to buy is shown
by two requisitions taken at random
from among thousands received by
one agent in this city this month.
One was for 3 dozen red globes for
signal lanterns. 750 barrels of oil,
100 barrels of signal oil, 20 gallons
of turpentine, 10,000 seals and wires
for sealing freight cars, 1 coil of rope
5 Inches in circumference, 1 dozen .
brooms, i dozen sponges, 100 pounds |
of waste for cleaning chimneys, 8
gallons of soft soap for cleaning ca
booses, 4 kegs of nails, 500 envelopes,
1,000 paper clasps, 1 gross of pens, 1,
gross of jiencils and 10 yards of flag
bunting. Another requisition, from I
an office in the interior of New York i
state where there must be a great
many clerks, called for 10,000 large
envelopes, 20,000 small envelopes,
600 small pads, 5,000 letterheads,
10 gross of pens, 500 application
forms, 500 monthly report blanks,
10 gross of pencils, 10 gross
of clasps, 100 large sticks of red
sealing wax, 500 heavy manila en- ;
velopes, 5 dozen oil cans, 3 dozen I
lanterns, 10 signal lamps, 8 dozen i
red globes, 2 dozen white globes, 8
large lamps for station, £ dozen
brooms. 4 feather dusters, 150 *
pounds of waste, 9 kegs of nails, |
dozen large chamois skins, 75 panes
of glass 16x20, 5 coils of small rope,
i bale of coarse wrapping paper, 250
fence pickets and 1,100 feet of barbed
wire.—Harper’s Young People.

Senator Stanford and Womankind.
Senator Stanford attested in two
potable instances the high regard
fn which he held womankind. His
respect for woman in general he re
corded by giving her equal rights
with men in Stanford university.
His regard for her in particular he
showed by his will, in which the
great bulk of his fortune was left ab
solutely to his wife. A great many
people are interested, some of them
vitally, to see whether these two
important actions will work together
for good. Practically Mr. Stanford
bequeathed Stanford university to
his wife. It is true he left the uni
versity about two millions and a
half, but that is far from being
a large enough sum to keep the in
stitution running on the scale on
which it is conducted now. Happily
Mrs. Stanford’s interest in it has al
ways been quite as lively as her
husband’s. Yet it has happened be
fore now that man and wife who
have been one so long as both have
lived, have turned out to be a differ
ent one after the man has died. It
is a fact, and a pretty solemn fact to
the university, that the huge StMz-f
ford property has changed-hands,
and that disposition* of its in
come will be subject to new influ
ences, the bent of which cannot cer
tainly be predicted. Harper's
