How m Father Obstinacy XT mm Over me by a Simple Shepherd Couple. Paris Morning News. A little shepherd of the forests of Pal eca loved a young girl of Santo-Pietro, the cool mountain village where the fashionable ladle of Ajaccio go to spend the summer. The young girl also loved the youth. At the first word of mar-riage-ttre father of the young girl flew into a terrible passion, so terrible that for several days after the flocks of P;U neoa did not dare to wander near the hillsides of Santo-Pietro. But on the fifth day the young girl fell ill, and at last the father relented. "We will see about that," ho said, "after he has drawn his conscript's num ber and has served his time. 1 do not want you to have a husband who will be compelled to leave you as soou as you are married. How came it that in this country, where there is no telegraph, the shepherd in an hour afterward knew what had been saidt The fact is that on entering the village he had only one idea upper most in his head escape from his term of military service. The next day, while cutting wood in the forest, he, as if by accident, gave his right hand a smart blow with his hatchet and fevered three fingers. Now let the military examination take place! He went home and tended his hurt as well as be was able: and when the wound j was healed, and he had been rightly and duly exempted, he went to Santo-Pietro and bravely repeated his offer. "I am not going to serve in the army." he said, "for 1 am sure they never will take me. You can marry us now." But the father stopped him by a word. "Never," he cried, "will I give my daughter to oue who is maimed." And it was apparent by his tone of voice that he meant what he hail said. In spite of his daughter's illness, he re mained inexorable. It was- clear that this old man did not like a maimed son-in-law. lie made but one reply to the prayers and tears of this young girl. "Never, you thoroughly understand, never! And don't let him come hanging around here any more. Cripples ought to marry cripples. Let him marry the little blind girl of Palneca, or the hunch back of Sant' "Andrea." The young girl did not reply, and not once during her illness did she speak of her shepherd. When she was convales cent she was seized with a longing for the forest and the open air, and every day took long walks by the hillside of PaJneoa by the road that her flocks knew so welL One morning, after a long search, she again came across the little fchepherd, pale and haggard, like a shep herd tired of the world. "Show me your wounded hand," she said. He showed it to her bashfully, and piously she pressed it to her lips. Show me," she said to luin again, "the hatchet which wounded you." He took it and showed it to her. Then, raising it and placing her hand on a etone: "This is how vou did it, isn't it? This is how the accident happened?" And before the shepherd was able to reply the hatchet had fallen, the stone waa reddened, and beside it lay the three fingers of the pretty maid of Santo-Pietro. "Now, shepherd," she said, "show me haw you healed your wound." And together they returned to Santro Pietro, he with tears in his eyes and she radiant. What could the father do? i Had ho not imprudently saitf'thit crip- pies ought to marry cripples? He cursed them and married thorn. The wedding was celebrated two months ago. Freuek Advertising. Chicago New& The proprietors of a French shoe store are publishing in continental newspapers an ingenious advertisement bused on the public interest in duels and dyuamite ex plosions. Capt. Cracson and Engineer itetrokins were to fight a duel, and the Latter, having the choice of arms, de cided on a dynamite combat. At the appointed time the combatants arrived, each having five cartridges. The sec onds mounted on the highest trees, and the duel began. The first two cartridges produced no effect, but the third re sulted in a fearful explosion. he sec onds dropped from their tree tops to find that Crakson had been torn to pieces, and that Metrokins had disap peared from view. Nothing but the Loots remained. These, on examination, were found to have come from the well known shop of Y. & Co. The Parasrraphlst's Oflsprlii";. Burlington Free Press.

Professor David Swing. All this in a vorld where tliero are tasks to be done of all sizes and quali ties from the tending of flocks in the field to the making of a garden out of the Sahara. It is will-power and faith the most need. A common Oernian barber said recently: "I have never been a day without work in fifteen years; have always had good wages; have now my home and live well and happy. I never wish to change my business; I too it for life." Thus speaks many a carpen ter and blacksmith. Machines affect their tasks but not their skill. More wood-work and iron-work are done than formerly. The bold farmer faces uncertainty as the general or captain faces it. The battle may be lost, but it may be won. "God is on the side of the strongest battalions," and it is often will-power that creates the greatest strength. The presence in the world of great capitalists need not discourage the poor man, for it is a poor nation alone that should offer any alarm. The fact that the wealthy surround each poor young man should be to him as though there was a mine of gold under foot, because that money is gathered to be spent. ' The youth sees a group of citi zens who have money to spend. How honorably to get some of that accumu lated gold is the simple inquiry. It is perfectly certain that wood-work and iron -work and fabrics in wool and silk or in precious stones or of clay or brass or marble will. open these full pock ets. All the people with mouej will always give it for meat or bread or Turuit or for inventions or luxuries. One man attacks these pocket-books with "building blocks" for the children, another comes along with a music box and with the tune ou a strip of paper, another comes with books, with Christ mas and Valentine and Easter cards, a little girl makes bunches of paper roses, some other hands are painting china, other are making door-mats or baskets, while elsewhere an Edison or a (J ray is touch ing the gold heap with the telephone and electric light. Thus the wealth of a community lies open to the attacks from boy or girl, white man or negro. The money of the rich is all to be spent. A bright, colored man of Alabama, bought a few years ago a lot of silk-worm eggs. He and his wife begin in a small way to work up a trade in raw silk. Now he employs a whole neighborhood in his hhops ami the publishers of an illus trated wtvnlv Lure sent tlieir artist to make drawings of th?s luteif stu. silk trade at Huutwille. The energy or the little African family has at last found the edge of the general cold heap. An Indiana roan had by accident read an article on the culture of the cran berry. Soon afterward he happened to see sune gronu 1 that met the condi tions of that chapter he had read. He secured the land at about $10 an acre and in about four years he found his profits to be about S:J00 au acre, and the same bushes or vines will bear fruit for twenty years. This story is repeated often by the strawberry-man and by the wheat-man and the stock-rnau, but it never occurs in the life of any one who is afraid to touch the earth at any point. Heroes in war are no more needed than heroes in peace. Muliltinc On the City Dump. I Indianapolis News.) Down near the mouth of Kentucky avenue, on the river bank, is the city dumping ground. A low marsh has been gradually filled up with trash and refuse matter until several acres are covered with a glittering heap of tin cans, broken crockery, glass, brush, hoops (barrels and other sort), and de caying vegetables and animal matter. Nothing goes there except what is no longer worth storing away in old bar rels, or has become an ugly spot on the landscape of the back yard. Yet from this pile of thrice picked over rubbish several families rake out their entire living. Upon this rubbish made earth there are three families of squatters. Each has built a small house of rough boards. Stoves were rigged out from the sheet-tin and iron and other metal 6craped from the "dump ;" the roofs are made of the tin gathered from the daily deposits, and the "bank" has otherwise been heavily drawn upon. Living upon the pnblic domain, of course they jay uo rent, no taxes, nor, seemingly, for anything they subsist upon. About meal time (the squatter is orthodox about meal hours) you will see some of the numerous children of this citizen (?) digging iuto the recently deposited dumps. Grocers' wagons have been there with wagon-loads of frozen potatoes or beets or cabbage; with a barrel of spoiled bread and canned corn or tomatoes or oysters. Little care the squatters if the potatoes are soggy and the corn tainted. They are cheap, and right at the door. Close by, also, is the river, its abundance of water, made nutritious by the deposits from the pork-houses. For fuel there is no want. Boards and barrels from the dump, and the new fence around the cemetery grounds feed the fires during the winter days. Besides find ing food these gentry turn an honest penny by melting the lead and solder from the tin in the dumps and collect ing the scraps of iron and rags that may have run the gauntlet of the city "picks." Much more pains and time are thus consumed in eking out a pre carious existence than would be re quisite for acquiring a competence in some trade or dailv labor. F.leexrle Mailt HiiS). Sacramento Ilwe. ) Bugologists can have considerable enjoyment in Sacramento in making collections of the huge bugs or be ties that are attracted by the electr.c lights every evening. In some localities they fall upon the sidewalk in such numbers that .ailies find it disagreeable to pass by, and men occasionally discover them to be an slippery as a piece of orange feel. As they are about two inches ong, when one Hies in o a j erson's face, or endeavors to ko on an explor ing expedition down the back of his neck, the sensation is not the mos plea ant imaginable.

' Olav-F.atera In the South. Bey"111' the Lines.) In some (sections of the southern states, as in certain other parts of the world, a peculiar buttery kind of clay abounds, which the lower classes of whites learn to eat, and the eating be comes a confinred habit. Capt. Geer, of Ohio, givtjs a graphic description of the "clay-outers," as he saw them while a prisoner in Macon, Ga., during the war: Or e morning as I stood gazing at the guards about our prison, 1 was forcibly struck with their appearance. Thev were a new set of men, who had relieved our old guaid the latter hav ing been sent to Kichniond. They were all tall and ungainly, and in speaking always s dd "har," "sar," "whar" and "dar" Their favorite exclamations were "tamed Jerusalem," and "I golly." As I uas thus surveying these men i heard one of them sty, "Tom. what d'you alius go to old Sanders' mill for ? W hy don't you g to Mike Adams' mill?'' "Why," w.i-i the reply, "don't you know there's a great deal better clay up at old Sanders' than there is at Mike Adams'?" As we were at this time under the i harge of Capt. Collins, who was more indulgent than any of our previous keepers, we were allowed t converse w.th the guards. I resolved to settle this matter of clay-eating; so I asked one of the fellows to whom I have just referred, what his comrade wanted with the clay he got at the mill. "Why!" he shouted "don't you know nothing? Ue wanted it to eat!" It would be impossible to describe the personal appearance of these wretched t lay-eaters better than by the remark of an Ohio lady, made on seeing them in all their glory ia lieorgia. Said she, "They do not look like fiesh dead men, but men who have been dead some time." ' The Wont 1 Pant. I Chicago iws. At the January sess'on of the Paris Academy of Sciences Al.

After question ing and hesitating he finally became alarmed at his condition, which was steadily growing worse, and rcolved to give Compound Oxyge a trial. What it did for him is best told in his own words. He says: 'I commenced the use of Compound Oxy gen after a good deal of thought, and, as Far as in my power, careful study of the different cases which had been finally tes tified to as to the great benefit received, but not without many misgivings of its great curative power. 1 had been running down, consequent upon hard office wo;k and close confinement for many years, un til I took the business of train conductor in hope of a benefit from out-door exer cise.
