The financial streRs from which the country is now emerg-inff has left its wrecks in the industrial and commer cial centers. When the stringency was most severe the daily press reported how this prominent bank had closed its doors, that well known mercantile house had pone to pieces and this ex tensive manufactory had shut down. But there were many minor tragedies in this distressing1 period stories of destitution and dismay that were full of desolate surnificaoce to individual lives, even though they gave the com mercial world no thrill of alarm. This is the story of one of these unreported "failures," the details of which ap pealed to the writer with pathetic in terest. A slight and shriveled figure of me mium height his growth seeming to have been arrested before ho attained his natural stature with thin and rue ful features, and eyes under a project ing forehead, and the ghost of a beard at the chin. This was "Walter the popcorn boy," as travelers over the old road of the Lake Shore have seen him times without number at the station iu a southern Michigan village, search ing the car windows with a wistful gaze for prospective patrons. So many years has ho been attendant upon the arrival of the clay trains that his queer and homely figure, one shoulder borne down below the other by t he weight of the painted box he carried, suspended by a strap and steadied with his long, restless hands, had become as much of a fixture as the sign board that swung under the eaves of the little passenger house. Every arrival of a train meant more or less raising of windows and the exchange of nickels and pennies for the plump sacks and the Michigan fruit. AU the trainmen were good patrons of the faithful vender, but it is difficult to tell which they sought the most the corn and apples they munched or the privilege of seeing the happiness their purchases gave Walter, particularly when the extent of busi ness made it necessary for him to hur ry home and stock up again. It was plain that the vender's soul was in his humble trado. You could tell that by th gleam of joy that cuine Into the usually plaintive face when trade wa brisk at the trains or aoiue liberal pas senger threw out a nickel or dime for an apple or a bag of corn with the cheery instructions to "never mind the chunge. . The big railway corporation, usually Tory conservative about granting con cessions, allowod Walter to ply his trade at the trains out of a svtitimoiit of loyalty (also a rare trait in ruilwuy corporations) to his (leeeiiM'il father a bright, capable man who worked himself to deutli In the employ of the road. Walter did not Inherit his fa ther'e unclouded mentality, but lie recognized the n-oponsiliility put uin ins you tli l ii I Mioulilers by the removal of the breadwinner of the family and at oiiro took up this line of effort to which his taste Inclined and which was happily within the limited rantfc of his f.u'iiltio. The extraordinary perseverance anil Uliselflhlinesa with which he followed bis humble mirchudiilng from Ix.y. hood up, reliiiiiiihliiug all thought of the thousand and rum diversions in which youth mi much delight, and foregoing any participation beyond 111 l.nra nrreitie in tliet result of hi labor, which, though not princely by any means, went a great way toward keeping off the gaunt visitor, want, from the fatherles circle these act of aelf-abneiratioii belong to those annul of ailenl heroism wliieh the world never sees or applauds but which are written In llio heart of the faithful one of eartn and credited above.

Jiivenmgs touna mm always at. 1 home, and on fcmnday it was his pride to have a humble part to perform iu the church work and a post of duty in the Sunday school library which he discharged with greatest zeal and tol erated no usurping of his place by others. Thus the monotonous tenor of Wal ter the popcorn boy's life went on till the fall of 1894, when the baneful in fluence of the panic first became ap parent in the village. No matter how banks might tremble and fall and capital take alarm, no one would thiuk that the sale of popcorn and apples would be altected. But they were, for at length Walter was heard bemoaning the let-up in trade. Perhaps there was not such a serious slump in his line, after all, and he had simply caught the calamity note from other it is so quick to spread. Anyway, the popcorn boy's face grew more de spairing, his tones more mournful. Often he was Been shivering in the chill air and making figures with a stub of a pencil in the pocket ledger. He was making comparisons with sales the day before, the week before and a year back. He had heard some of the merchants tell how their trade had fallen oft. The comparisons were not encouraging. "Oh, it'a dreadful," he would be heard to wail often and again. "What's the matter, Walter?" one of the boys would ask. "My trade's falling off like every thing," was his rueful answer. "These hard times will ruin me." He was really In despair. The calam ity contagion had hold of him. The business aspect was as acrloua to hlin aa to the man of millions. His receipts for years had never fallen tielow a cer tain average To his dismay the boast he had always made would not again untrue, ii was seen that the worry was telling on him. Is ever strong looking, ho began to look paler and thinner. "Oh, eheer up, Walter!" some con siderate bywtander would aay. "You'll come out all right." It was no une. "The figure speak for themselves," he suld as he produced the little book all filled with rude pen ciling. "I'm falling behind I know I am." Muny merchants sitting In their offices In sixteen-story building could sympathize with him. Wulter, the pocorn loy, waa Incon solable. It was common remark that ho was getting worse. Each day seemed to mid t hi burden of despair.

He thought only of his lire-work -the thing that had commanded all hi limn, all his ener gies. "If I ilon t do well with No. In I shall give up!" Two of tin. iy, touched by the ton of despair, tried to cheer hi III up by buying half a do ten aack of c.rn apiece. He brightened up a moment a he sh'M.k some salt on the corn and handed It out, and then relapsed again Into despondency.

Long lake is one of the best feeding grounds for deer in the Adirondauks, growing as it does a kind of spice weed and cranberry, of which the deer is very fond. The process involved in bunting deer, says an eastern- ex chance, is very curious and interesting; in the guide's own words, "one must know the natur' of the animal to suc ceed." It is the custom of this animal to browse on its way down to the water at night for drink, and the slight crash made in coming through the brush be trays them to the guide, who, with his companion seated in a boat, is slowly and noiselessly paddling close to shore, and nearer and nearer to the locality from whence the sound comes. Al though there are many other ibises abroad on tho night air none can mis take this particular one. The guide holds his breath or emits it in quick gasps. Absolute silence on the part of the inmates of the . boat prevails. The night wind blows softly The stars are reflected in the still water. The air is heavy with the fragrance from woods, flowers and trees. The boat drifts or Is propelled so gently that it Is calculated to deceive one's own senses as to bother, after all, It is not all a drca u. The occasional sound of the paddle sounds like the ripple of water or the lapping of the waves against the hhore, when sudden ly another and unmistakable crash Is heard close at hantj. The cap is off the jack lantern, insti'.ntly a search-light is thrown over the luke and adjaoent wooded shore. Two bright eyes are iceii, a terrified whistling I beard, and the deer starts to t in, but it is too late; a whir, and bung und a lino four-year-old buck falls to the ground. The tense straining of every muscle and nerve Is relieved and followed by the wildest excitement and commotion as the boat Is hastily paddled to shore. NATURE'S FREAKS. The Devil's Pump In California and Me Mweeney't liun In Ireland. One of tho greatest combinations of natural ar.d artificial curiosities on the coast of California Is culled the Devil's 1'iiinp. Tin; phobia, or shell miners, specie of molltisk which excavate im mense cavern in the very hardest stone, have tunneled tho entire coast In tho vicinity of the pump. Water rushes Into theso cavern with each succeeding tide flow, and in this partic ular case lind vent through a cylindri cal oeniiig a. une distuuee from the water edge. It I estimated that this hole, hlch connect with the aea cat t-rn, la sevcnty-flve to one hundred feet In depth. Lvery lime the tide rushes Into the covern beneath, the pump" throw water to the height of full one hundred feet shove the mouth of the oM-iiing. The Indian formerly called It by a n.iie. which signified "fairy water gun," but the Irreverent white men have given It the title of the "Dee II Pump. ' and by that name It will tm probably kno'-n lo future generation. There I a similar curiosit y near Horn Head, county iMicgml, Ireland, where a hole In the r k I eelled "McHwecn ryVllun."
