Ho CinnlA Cry lap
'A hank has some queer notions,” raid
a veteran teller, “bnt I think tho oddest
character I have come across in my deal
ings through the little wicket is a man
who comes in about twice a week, lays
down a dime or two nickels and asks for
ten bright, sew cents. After he had
done this some half dozen times I began
to expect him, and later to have a cari
osity to know what ho did with thorn,
aa I observed thathe always placed them
carefully in his fob pocket.
“One day my curiosity ovuaama my
diteness, and I asked him bluntly what
i did with the pennies. He blushed,
smiled in a deprecating way and said
they were for the children. The cashier
happened to know the man, and told mo
when he had gone that he had lied—he
had no children, though married for
many years. This aroused my curiosity
still more, and I decided to traps him, as
wo say in commercial transactions,
made a confidant of the office boy, and
tho next time the gentleman called the
boy shadowed him. It was about noon
when they left, and the boy did not re
turn until long after banking hoars.
Then ho called me aside and
'* ‘Ho gives them pennies to babies that
cry.’
“ ‘Gives them to babies that ciyf I
asked, not fully comprehending.
“ ‘Yoa. I stuck to him, just as you
told me, and had to wait two hours
while ho was busy in liisoffico. Thon
out ho comes and I after hka, up one
street and down another, stopping into
places overy few minutes. On West
Lamed street there was a little urchin
crying; some ono had took something
away from it. He stops np, laughed,
chuckod it under tho chin, and gave it
one of the bright cents. The little one—
I don't know whether it was a boy or a
girl, they dross ’em so much alike—si

“Well, I got to thinking over the mat

as wo compote interest the amount of

A New Zealand Waterfall.
A waterfall has reofntly been discov
ered in the southern part of New Zea
land whloh proves to be one of the most
xemarkoblo in the world. AM exceed
ingly difficult of aocess, befog almost
completely surrounded by a chain of
snow covered mountains, numerous gla
ciers and superb lakes.
Tho highest of all the waterfalls whose
existence is known at the present time
is ono in California, whose mass of wa
ter plunges down from a height of 9,850
foot
The next in point of height ia the Oreo
fall of Mon to Rosa, In Switzerland,
whloh sends its water, In two falls, from
o-height of about 2,400 feet
Tho nowly discovered waterfall in
New Zealand oomos third on tho Hat,
falling from a height of lJQWfoit. This
ill has three falls, and tho mass
of water thrown is mnoh greater than
that of either the Californian or Monts
Rosa waterfall.
Tho fourth highest Is in tho Pyrenees, [

Could-Have Saved Unools’a life.
The one man In tbs world who could
have prevented, the * smasai nation of
President LtnoOln la dead. John Fred
erick Parker, bom in 'Winchester, Vo.
came to Washington some time before
the firing upon Fort Sumter, and soon
found employment upon the metropoli
tan police force. When, in 1868, it waa
decided to strengthen the regular fores
of doorkeepers and watchmen at the
White Houso with a squad of policemen
Parker was one of those selected. It
thus happened that when President Lin-
doln and party entered tho old Ford the
atre on the night of Good Friday, 1865,
they were accompanied by Parker
guard. He took his position at the door
to the private box from which President
Lincoln watched the performance, where
he was expected to remain and prevent
tho ontranco of every one except the
members of tbs party,
As the play proceeded Parker, from
his post, could hear just enough of what
was said on the stage to arouse his curi
osity, and it was not long before he left
the door and edged his way toward the
auditorium. Ho finally took a seat in
tho orchestra or “pit,” as it was then
called, where he had scarcely settled
himself when the wholo audience was
snrprisod by the report of a pistol shot
The assassin, Booth, had stealthily ap
proached the door of tho president’s pri
vate box, where, finding no ono to chal
lenge him, ho entered unannounced and
fired the fatal shot. There Is no ques
tion in tho minds of those who are fa
miliar with tho details that had Parker
remained at his post Booth could never
have taken President Lincoln unawares.

Insanity With Coni.lousn.il.
In a discussion at one of the congress
es held in Paris on mental diseases Dr.
Fnbret, a distinguished alienist, re
marked upon tho undoubted existence
of certain forms of mental alienation in
which patients perfootly recognize the
anomalous nature of the phenomena
whioh they experience, bnt without be
ing able to disembarrass themselves
from them. Dr. Fabret dwelt on these
intellectual obsessions as being emotive
or instinctivo, or veritable morbid im
pulsions, dominating tho will, citing
among other examples the obstinate
soarch for words, tho fear of o knife, of
n window, the terror of open or olosod
spaces, tho necessity for repenting cer
tain words or certain phrases, etc.
These aro ordinarily hereditary, peri
odical or remittent, and ore accompanied
by anguish and a sort of interior strag
gle, bnt never presenting hallucinations
and never ending in dementia. The in
sanity of donbt is the most common ex
pression of this psychical state, the pa
tients continually ruminating in their
minds over tho samo ideas and the same
acts, questioning themselves on every
thing, and having senseless scruples in
regard to everything. If the patient is
a physician he doubts tho prescriptions
that he has just written, and frequently
sends to bring them back in the fear of
having committed somo error. Another
class consists of timorous subjects, and
who are a prey to a sort of continued
“cerebral pruritia.”—New York Tribune.
A Virginia Girl's Project.
Miss Sallie Holley, a Virginia girl, has
undertaken the education of the oolored
girls of her state. The work is purely
philanthropic. Miss Holley has sent let
ters to nearly all the women’s clubs In
Union asking for a cash contribution or
n year’s service from a member as teacher
in the south. Her method is the estab
lishment of small schools throughout the
state, where the colored girl can learn
enough in a conplo of years to make her
way in the world. Instead of the tom
foolery with which the graded course
of pnblio school training is padded
Miss Holley aims to teach tho children
how to read, writs and make accurate
ohange in one year. The fundamentals
of arithmetic will be mastered according
to the qnlckost methods and without
taxing the child with a singlo rule. The
newspaper is the preferred book, from
which it is thought sufficient geography,
spelling, history and the arts can be ob
tained, and togother with this mental
training the colored girls will receive
practical lessons In industrial work by
laming their own stockings, mending
tho holes in their dresses, retrimming
tholr hats, altering old and making new
garments and cooking as many meals as
it is possible to provido. Miss Holley
has undertaken a most important mis
sion and stands a good chance of making

“Tho woman seized npon it and eat

was a dainty pioco of euphemism, and he
handed over a first class pad to writo on.
“Then Bho modestly begged for a pen

A Delicious Drink#
Gcorgo Parsons Lathrop tells of a de
licious summer drink which may seem
now to mnny people, bnt Is really more
of n revival of something in vogue sever
al years ago. It is tho saute roe cup, and
is 03 satisfying to the thirst ns milk and
water or oatmeal water, and withal,
more epienrian. Yon take equal parts
of Sauterne nnd Apollinaris water, and
put them in n clear crystal pitcher,
sweetening with threo lumps of sugar to
n quart, and. adding a slico or two of
jitacapple and a long paring of encum
ber rind. Lot this filled pitcher stand
for a few minutes in a vessel of ice, or
wrap around the pitcher a towel of
cracked ico and salt. Under no circum
stances put ico in tho drink, for that
would injuro the fine flavor. Just be

Odor from Insects.
It is well known that moths and but
terflies giro off odors either from tho
wings or tho hinder end of tho body.
Certain moths, as tho parent of tho com
mon red and black “bear” caterpillar,
and of the salt marsh caterpillar, have a
retractile organ, which, when thrust out,
thrown off a strong odor, somewhat like
laudanum. Tho other evening wo caught
a white female miller (Spiloaoma virgin-
lea), which, after rough handling, threw
off a very peculiar, strong odor, somo-
what reminding ns of landannm, and
which remained on the fingers, for sev
eral hours. The moth did not dart out

Tiro English Authors.
I reached London jost too Into for thn
annual authors' dinner, which is one of
the events of the season there, and on
this account, and because my time waa
almost entirely taken np by the law
businere about which I had gone over, I
did not moot ns many of the literary
men as I should havo liked to moot I
saw a good deal, however, of Edmund
Gesso, who is one of the most polished
and delightful of men, and has always
been very kind to me. His houso is a
sort of center, his Sunday evenings being
delightful occasions where one may
meet a score of writers, soalptoro and
painters.
Occasionally I met him at lunch athis
club, v.liuw lai would gat Austin Dob

position in Whitehall, and obtains there
from the snhstantials of life which ena
ble him to cultivate the muses on some
thing a little better than “oaten reed. 1
Both Dobson and Geese are directly in
line for the laurenteship when it shall
fall vacant, though no one knows who
will get it I am indebted to both of
them for much personal kindness. Goose
is a good sized, hondsomo man, of tho
blondo English type, with tho cheeriest
face and voice, and wborovor he goes it
grows worm and comfortable. Dobson
is somewhat older. Both of them strike
me os being among the most cultured
men I ever met. They have English lit
erature at their fingers' ends, and dwell
in an atmosphere which is redolent of
the masters.—Thomas Nelson Page in

Stole Boil, from a Cemetery.
That too ingenious person who stolo
bronze and marble busts from the
tery of Montparnasse, touched them np
and sold thorn as effigies of famous he
roes, statesmen or orators, has at last
met with the punishment which his
lugubrious labors deserved. Moreau,
for so tho new kind of “resurrection
man,” to adopt the phrase of Dickens, is
called, came up before the eighth tri
bunal of polico, and was soon sentenced
to threo years* imprisonment
The singular thefts perpetrated by
Moreau in the cemetery long passed un-
pcrccivod. He waa accordingly able to
make some money by his dismal and de
plorable transactions, and it is consid
ered probable that many of his
formed basts now adorn not only the
humble homesteads of artisans in Paris,
but also the libraries and museums of
somo provincial towns. On one occa
sion he is said to have sold the effigy of
a worthy professor of theSorbonns as
that of a famous general of the revolu
tion,-while on another ho passed off tbs
bronze presentment of a departed grocer
os that of a Demosthenes.—Paris Cor.
