No, it Wasn't the plea of a street beg' gar, but was the sad wail of a rich aud popular club wan, at that tuomont bunl ly engaged In holding down one of the blue plush tufas at the Fifth avenue. Woigbing about BOO pounds the club man was admirably adapted to that line of business. "Tm hungry all the time. I dare not eat 1 am dieting myself to get rid of some of this flesh.

It is amusing to a veteran when visit ing angling resorts to watch the beauti ful way in which the guides seduce the greenhorns into buying tacklo or outfits from them or from the local stores. There is always somo particular fly or spoon without which It is useless to fishi and then when ft comes to going out to the fishing grounds, woe to the man who bus not been there before, for unless he happens to have an unusually conscien tious boatman the chances are that he Will be taken over some very convenient ground where there are few if any fish. "They are not biting today," or "You ought to have been here luet week," etc., are the consoling remarks mado by the guides; we have all listened to those re marks tiineand time again. Anglers on their first trips to the Thousand Isles suffer from this to a very great extent; thore are so many good looking aud con venient locality's barren of fish whilo the best and prolific waters are at con siderable distance from the hotels and require hard work at the ours to reach them. In fact the experience of sports men is that the first season at a new re tort, whether for fishing or shooting, is usually wasted.

Christian Advocate. A Glided Hernial. There is a girl tn town who tells this story on herself. She is a realons mem ber of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Seeing iu the street one day a rab driver cruelly maltreat ing his horse she went up to him, aud, showing ber badgo, demanded his num ber. "Lord, miss," said the man in a con descending voice aud a commiserating mile, "if I wus ter tell yer it would go out of that pretty head afore yer got to the next comer." Then he drove on, leaving the girl torn between conflicting emotious, anger and the desire to laugh. Washington Post A Strang Toad. Hicks pond, in Palmyra, Me., is a strange body of wafer. It is ouly twelve acres in area, but it is more than 100 feet in depth. It has no visible inlet It Thrum a Fountain of Watar a Handnd reel la the Air. The artesiuu well at Outrleville, on the Warrega river, Queensland, is the newest and most remarkable instance of the nutural resources of marvelous Au stralfa. The well is situated quite near the railway station, but In one of the most unlikely places that could have been Imagined. Who on earth would have expected that this artesian well, which Is the best In the world, or at all events yields the lurgest amount of water, was sunk on the top tj a sandy hum mock? Yet so It is. The site was chosen Ly the hydraulic engineer, J. B. Hender son, for reasons only known to himself, but which have been amply justified. Crossing the swampy flat leading to this hummock, attention is drawn to a wide channel cut through the drift sand, and it Is explained that the overflow of water had done this ere tho apparatus for controlling it hud been obtained. The bore itself looked a hariuloHS enough kind of thing. It might have buen taken for a rather high standpiiie placed in an Idi otic position in the bottom of a hole sixty or seventy yards long, thirty broud and ten feet deep. Hut a moment's oliserva tion showed that the harmless looking stundpipe had made the hole. As a mat ter of fact, the water when it was tapped rutdied up in such a volume that it washed away the sand around the bore in a few minutes and cleaned out the foundations of the derrick aud threatened to wreck the whole contrivance. If they had not got a plug in it pretty soon It would have washed Charleville into the Wurreg On top of the pipe there bus been fixed right angle bend, so that the water can be turned in any direction. When the visitors arrived at tho bore it was seen that the water was trickling In a tiny stream from this bend Into the thirsty sand below, but in a few minutes tho scene was changed. Mr. Woodley or 111a uucciisiunu iioring company, which sunk the well, ocned the valve. and with every turn of the wheel the thin stream thickened and deflected from its former iierpendicular course, Gradually tho volume of water increased and began to roar through the pipe al most like steam blowing from a safety valve. Every moment the sight became more Interesting, and when the valve was fully opened it was a spectacle to wonder ut. ItuHhing from the bore by Its own force, ejecting itself for a dis tance of thirty feet in a horizontal di ruction, came a column of water white as milk In appearance. In a second or two It churned up the sand before it into colTee colored mud. This was the first singular thing no ticed, for tho lulling white torrent, UriV' big before it, as it seemed, the brown mud, produced a whimsical effect, like the pouring of milk aud coffee into the same cup at tho same time. But this did not last long. In a few moments a little pond was formed, which filled up until the level of the surrounding ground was reached, and then there was seen at first a rivulet and then a stream rushing down the hillside. When it is said that this well fills a 400 gallon tank in thir teen seconds it can readily be understood that all this did not take long. The valve wus next closed and the right an gle bend removed. On the second open ing of the valve there was witnessed a spectacle at once beautiful aud mujestiu, and which was well worth the long jour ney fiom Drisbuno to see. The water rose In a snowy column, like a stalagmite of wool, to a height of thirty feet and descended In a hissing torrent so heavy and oloso as to quite obscure the pipe it self. It was a marvel of beauty and a picture that will never bo effaced from the memories of those who witnessed it Subsequently a nozzle one inch in di ameter was attached to the pipe, and, when tho water was turned on, it as cended to a height of nearly 100 feet, re turning to earth in a heavy shower or dissipating In mist clouds, through which the rainbows played with an effect that was beautiful as it was wonderful. It seemed that the visitors would never tire of looking at it They simply Btood and gazed, hardly saying a word, for in the presence of this marvelous phenomenon speech seemed poor and commonplace, and the mind simply gave itself up to childlike wonderment Queenslander.

Eugene Field. RALPH, THE ROVER A Celebrated Physician. John Arbutlinot, the son of a Scotch clergyman, was born near Montrose in 1007. He vfas educated at Aberdeen, where ho took his doctor's degree. Going to London to push his fortuno, he soon established a reputation as a man of scjeuce, und before ho was 80 a happy ac cident led to his fortune. Prince Ueorgs of Denmark, tho consort of Queen Anne, was taken suddenly ill at Epsom, and Arbutlinot, who chanced to be there, was summoned to attend him. The prince was cured, und the doctor was appointed one of the court physicians. Swift says, that he was the queen's favorite phy sician, aud aiHtrttuetits were given him In St. James' paluce. Thus distinguished by the murks of royal favor, Arbutlinot acquired thu friendship, not only of th leading men or his purty, as Hurley and Ilolingbroke, but that of all the wits and scholars of tho time. He was their trusted friend and adviser. lie attended Queen Anno In her lust "Here, Ralph! Ralph! Ill, you scamp! Come back here, sirl There, he's gone! Oil for a two or three days trump again, licg pardon, sir! I didn't see you. I was that busy cullin' the dog I recion I nearly walked over you. The matter, sir? Well, it's that dog, Ralph. You heard me cull him, I dure suy. A grander old fellow you couldn't find in a day's travel, but he has one bad habit. Most humans have more than that, and I ain't sure in my own mind that he ain't human. " The hubit?' Well, It's just this: he will follow every blessed old trump as passes here, and keep followin' 'em, sometimes, for two or three days. He's a queer one. Did you notice him just now ? Didn't see him ? Well, he keeps just fur enough, behind the fellows so they won't drive him back, suifllu', snlllin' along, and kind of custin' his eye back to let me know he's heuriu' me but not heed in' me. Just the same way lie acts every time he goes off. He'll lie back all right, when he does come ; und he's been actio' that way ever since I've had him. 'Stolen?' Why, sir, I don't believe the ones livin could steal libit, or fasten him up ever so tight he couldn't got buck, ever since an' a right queer way I got blm, too. " 'Is he mine? Well, yes, in one way; an men no, in another, it was a queer story, anyway. " 'Tell It.' sir? Well, If I had time 1 might Ah, thank you, sirl A fine gen tleman like you can afford to be gener ous. "Now, let me see! As near as I remem ber, it was June, two years ago, as I come down stairs rather early one morn ing to light the fire for my old woman, She warn't very strong then; the young ster there was only a couple of months old, an I wns gettin' the-things all handy for her to get breakfast When she come down the fire wus lightin' an' tho kettle singln for joy of seeln' her, I'm thlnkin'.

But a true gentle man, an' I know the right kind when 1 see them. He never let on for one mo ment, though, a single word about him self but once, an' that was the lust even' in' he was here. "The dog was sittln' beside him, with his bead restin' on Robert's knee, when I says, kind of sudden like: " 'I bet Ralph's a very vallyble dog, Robert.' " Yes, yes,' he says, sort of slow, 'Too vallyble,' stroking Ralph's head with a loviu' bund, while the dog looked at him with just as much love. Twos the hu niunest eyes you would ever see, sir. " 'He is worth a great deal of money, ho said again, after a moment's think ing. 'I am very sorry for it sometimes. I've been in many hard straits at times, an' I've been afraid aye, afraid of my selfthat I'd be tempted to sell hlin. Not while I was myself, old fellow, you understand, but when I was the brute I sometimes am.' "By Oeorge, sir! you wouldn't believe it, I dare say, but I'd take my affydavy that dog looked up, sort of sad like, and shook his head. "To make tho story short though, all told, it wus not so very long when we camo down stairs the next uiorninz Ralph lay on the floor, guurdin' his mus ter's stick, but his muster wasn't no where 'round. "Tell mo the dog didn't know! lie knew as well as we did why it was done; that the master he loved, an' who loved him, had left him; but be bud been told to watch the stick, uu' with tho saddest eyes, an' droopln', li lay there all day long.

'Ungrateful?' No sir; I don't take it so. I think ho couldn't trust himself with the dog he loved, when he was himself, you see, an' so he left him where he knew he'd be well taken care of. Yes, that's the way I see it, anyhow. An' then he got so fur away before the dog would quit watchiu' that the scent was lost for poor Ralph. But lie ain t never give upl Not a day, sir! " 'Do?

The old man took the doctor's advice and did not seem to have any fears of death, but dreaded the yawning grave and the cold, clamnir earth. To make his thoughts more pleasant and relieve him of his only terror, a friend suggested crema tion as an avenue of escape from the grave, a plan which he hailed with joy, and gave directions accordingly. The disease continued, complete ossiti- calion took place and the man died. How to carrv out the wishes of the deceased at first troubled the bereaved family, un til they learned that Stephen Symphony was burning lime in his kiln, which bad been fired three days and was reaching a white beat. Desiring to save the ashes they procured a large evaporating pan belonging to a molasses mill. Placing the remains in this, they carefully shoved the whole into the kiln, which was an open one on top, and being built in the sido of tho hill, was easily accessible.

So three days wore away, and the fire must be drawn or the lime spoiled. Twenty-four hours later, by means of grappling hooks, the pan and body were raised, and to the surprise of every one the body was still intact nnd glowing. A greater nnd more pleasant surprise, however, awaited tho family, for when tho body became cold it was ascertained that the intense beat, acting upon the ossified body, had changed, it to perfect marble, a little lighter in color than the natural body, but retaining its natural shape, except on the buck, which is a little flattened. The only defects are where there was a bullet wound and in the left foot, which is broken in two. In 1870 Mr. Clayback cut his foot very se verely, splitting it between the second and third toes, and following this wound a rupture appeared which caused the loss as above staled. Where a small blood vessel had burst in his leg there ap peared a delicate tracing of the circula tion.
