A Youthful Story Teller.
PICKETT AND THE ARCHIVES.
In a down town barber shop is employed
a little boy to keep the flies off thé patrons
of the place in summer and act as general
utility man in winter. Having nothing else
to occupy his mind, he has developed a
wonderful faculty for' telling remarkable
Stories. He bids "fair in time to outrival
Joe Mulhattan arid several others who have
become noted as prevaricators. His talent
in this direction is so marked indeed as to
astonish the patrons of the shop, whom he
never fails to regale with one of his choice
selections.
The other afternoon a gentleman who
was in a hurry to catch the train took a
seat in one of the chairs. He had not got.
fairly settled in the big cushions when the
youthful story teller, with a most serious
countenance, began a new work of the im­
agination.
“You are going away on the train, ain’t
you, mister?” There was an assenting nod.
"I suppose you must be goin down to
Georgy this time o’ year. It’s so Cold, you
know. I used to live down in Georgy with
my gran’pa. Me an him raised popcorn
together. We had 80 acres in our farm, an
on four of them we raised popcorn. When it
got ripe, we shucked it an put it in a big
bam. It was hot. an the bam was dry.
“One night it caught fire. ■ The com
popped an flew all over the farm until it
looked like it had snowed. The next
tnornin when our old cow come out o’ her
shed she saw the popcorn over ever’thing,
an thinkin it Was snow she lay down and
froze to death.’’—Louisville Courier-Jour­
nal.
The Light Turned on a Hidden Chapter of
Wartime History.
Heat of the Sun’s Surface.
What is the aetual heat of the sun’s sur­
face? Various estimates have been made,
but as they vary from 1,000 and a fraction
to millions of degrees there is little prospect
of an immediate and reliable answer to the
question. Secchi gave it as his opinion that
the temperature could be but little, if any,
short of 10,000,000 degrees of the centigrade
thermometer. Sporer t hought that it might
be 37,000 degrees, while i’ouillot brought it
down to somewhere between 1,400 and 1,761
degrees of the same scale. M. Becquerrel,
Professor Langley and Sir William Thomp­
son all agree on about 3,000 degrees of cen­
tigrade, making their deductions from cal­
culations based on solar photospheres.
f According to M. St. Clair Deville, th$
temperature of the sun’s surface does not
exceed 2,800 degrees. This also agrees with
experiments made by both Bunsen and De­
bray. Sir Robert Ball, the astronomer royal
of Ireland, in his “Story of the Heavens,”
says, “We shall probably be well within the
truth if we state the effective temperature
of the sun to be about 18,000 degrees Fahr
enheit.”—St. Louis Republic.
Mohammedanism Increasing.
Mohammedanism is largely on the in­
crease in the British West African colony
of Sierra Leone, one-tenth of the popula­
tion now being of that faith. A state aid­
ed branch of the Church of England exists
there, and- practically all denominations
of Christians have missionaries in the
colony.

Frank Riggs, the son of the famous
banker and his father’s successor in the
financial circles at Washington, tells
me an interesting story that corrects a
false impression which many good peo­
ple have carried for years. During the
second term of President Grant a man
of the name , of Pickett sold to the gov­
ernment of the United States the rec­
ords of the executive departments of
the southern confederacy. From these
documents was obtained much evidence
that prevented the payment of claims
of southern citizens who pretended loy­
alty for losses growing out of the war.
In a single instance they saved several
millions by showing that mail contract­
ors throughout the south had been paid
from the Confederate treasury for serv­
ices performed by them for the postoffice
department of the United States before
the outbreak of the rebellion. They
proved to be of great value in many oth­
er directions, and the price paid Mr.
Pickett for them, which was some­
thing like $60,000, proved to be one of
the most profitable investments ever
made by the government.
Pickett had been the chief clerk of
the Confederate state department or
held some similar office which made
him custodian of the archives. When
President Davis and his cabinet fled
from Richmond, Mr. Pickett carted the
records away and hid them in some
place that escaped the searchers of the
Union army, and the manner of their
disappearance was a mystery until they
were delivered to Secretary Fish. It
was always believed that Mr. Pickett
pocketed the money, and he was uni­
versally condemned by southern people
for betraying the secrets of the lost
oause for a price.
“The facts have never been told,”
said Mr. Riggs, “for Mr. Pickett exact­
ed the strictest pledges of secrecy from
my father in regard to the disposition
of the money. But both of them are
dead now, and there is no reason why
the truth should not be known. Mr.
Pickett never had the benefit of one
penny of the money he received from
the government for those records. He
deposited the entire amount as soon as
he received it in our bank to the credit
of 'George W. Riggs, trustee for,’ and
it was distributed in small amounts
among the widows of Confederate offi­
cers. Mr. Pickett made out the list of
the people to whom he wished it sent.
The checks were all signed by my fa­
ther. Each one was accompanied by a
letter, which he prepared and which my
father signed, saying that the inclosure
was forwarded at the request of a gen­
tleman who felt an interest in their
welfare, but for reasons of his own de­
sired that his identity should not be
disclosed. The account was carried for
several years, and all the checks and
vouohers are now packed away in our
bank. ”—Chicago Record.

Mr. Selous, having spent 21 years in Afri­
ca, has returned to London from Mashona-
land. Mr. Selous confessed that he had
killed 100 elephants and 25 lions. His best
lion story was about a mail carrier in Ma-
shonaland. The man in question was rid­
ing one horse and leading another, which
carried the mails, when the lion made his
appearance and his spring. The latter de­
moralized the mail coiripletely. One horse
was bowled over, the. other broke away
without its rider, and the mail carrier very
naturally lost all interest in the mail.
The lion did not succeed in detaining
either of the horses (they turned up next
day at the fort, one very badly wounded
and without the mailbags), so he returned
to the unfortunate carrier. Him the lion
treed and then sat down at the foot of the
tree to await developments. Fortunately
for the carrier they did not develop entire­
ly as the lion could have wished, for the
Bext day a caravan passed and the lion
stalked away into the bush, doubtless with
an increased contempt for the refinements
of civilization. The mailbags were not
found for months afterward.
“Are lions fond of man meat?"
“No,” said Mr. Selous; “they prefer don­
keys. I think the donkeys remind them of
zebras. They have no distaste for horses,
but they will attack human beings. I once
knew a lion to walk into a camp where I
was staying and walk off with one of the
policemen. I’ve brought his skin home—
the lion’s. I think it is in that corner—’no,
it isn’t. I remember I have sent it away to
be cleaned."
• “Lion hunting is dangerous, isn’t it?”
“It depends. One learns to run fewer
risks as one gets older. When I wound a
lion now, I let him go. When I was young­
er, I used to go after him. I shall do so no
more.”—London Graphic.
Cashier Sawyer’s Strange Gift.
C. M. Sawyer, cashier of the Dexter Na­
tional bank, possesses a very peculiar facul­
ty for telling the weight of things offhand.
He cannot explain what the power is, but
that he can exercise it correctly there can
be no doubt. Numerous instances of its
use are told. One is that a merchant was
one day preparing to weigh a boxful of old
copper scraps, all shapes and sizes thrown
in at haphazard. Just then Mr. Sawyer
stepped into his store. Seeing the box and
the scales he remarked:
“You needn’t weigh that, for I can tell
you to an ounce just what it weighs. The
thought came to me just as I came in the
door that that box and contents weighed
just 373 pounds."
The dealer was not prepared to adopt this
mode of weighing without verifying it, so
he put the box on the scales, and it tipped
the beam at exactly the weight named.—

By AUGUSTA LARNED.
Edith’s whole body was trembling
from fright and exertion. Her legs felt
too weak to give her support, and she
stumbled along, panting breathlessly,
until she reached the lower part of the
lane, within spund of the laughter and
shouts of the players on the tennis court
over the wall. She took off her hat and
waved it, but they did not see her. She
cried out-faintly, but her voice seemed
muffled and lost in her throat.
“Oh, come, come! Help! There is a
woman dying up jn the woods! Come
quick, or it will be too late!”
Young Harold Ashley had just sent
his ball out of bounds, and was search­
ing for it near the low boundary wall
when he saw this apparition of a young
girl, her face pale as ashes, with great,
wide, frightened eyes and parted lips,
her hair, which the tree boughs had torn
loose from its fastenings as she passed
under them with the insensible woman
in her arms, floating in a dark cloud
down her back. Harry leaped over the
wall, crying to the fellows who were at
play to follow him, and his sister came
running after them, leaving the young
invalid lady alone on the reclining chair,
for even the big dog had scampered off
at the heels of his master.
Now that help was at hand Edith sud­
denly felt strength flow b$ck into her
trembling limbs and courage come into
her heart. She set off with Harry Ash­
ley in advance of the others after she had
given him an inkling of the situation.
“I don’t know who she is; I am a
stranger in Littlefield. 1 found her near
the brook, lying under a great pine tree.
She was then in convulsions, but made
me understand she had been poisoned by
eating toadstools.”
They found the old woman just where
Edith had left her under the oak, still
unconscious, and looking the image of
death. Miss Ashley bent over the thin
worn old frame with pitying tenderness.
“I do believe, Harry,"said she, “it is old
Celestina Rivers. She always has been
queer and poetical, and a little wrong, I
fear, in the head. She must have strayed
off in the woods and perhaps lost .her
way.”
Two of the young men had made a
support with their arms to carry the sick
wonian down to the Ashley house, while
a third set off on a run for the 'doctor.
Edith, who had now twisted up her
vagrant locks and put on her hat, pro­
posed to go and look for the old lady’s
belongings she had been forced to leave
by the brook, and Harry Ashley and his
sister followed her through the thicket.
“It was awfully plucky of you,” said
Harry, giving the young girl beside him
an open look of admiration, “to bring the
old lady out of the woods.”
“She is very light,” responded Edith,
“and I am young and strong. I should
not have felt her weight on open ground.”
“I remember all about old Celestina
Rivers now,” said Fanny Ashley. “She’s
a clergyman’s daughter and comes of a
good family, but has lived alone many
years. I know the ladies of the benev­
olent society tried to get her to enter the
Old Ladies’ home, but she ià very queer
and obstinate. I remember hearing her
called the literary Miss Rivers when I
was a little girl. She wrote a great
many verses to the moon and stars, but
I don’t suppose people ever cared to buy
her poetry.”
Edith’s face flushed slightly. It seemed
she had helped to rescue a literary sister,
and instantly she thought of her own
old age, and seemed to see herself a
creature of vain dreams, living alone
with her cat like poor old Celestina.
They had come to the pine tree by the
brook, and Edith picked up the MS. vol­
ume with a kind of lingering tender­
ness. She meant to keep possession of
it, and restore the precious relic to its
owner if she should recover without al­
lowing profane eyes to scan poor old
Cfelestina’s verses.
“Hello!” said Harry, as he came across
the luncheon basket and picked it up.
“Here are two soda crackers. I fear the
old lady must have eaten the toadstools
for nourishment.”
“No one ever goes hungry here in Lit­
tlefield,” said Miss Ashley with cheerful
confidence. “Such a thing was never
known.”
“People may not die absolutely of
hunger,” returned Harry, “but I suspect
there are cases of slow and genteel
starvation, and it looks as if the poetess
was one of them.”
“Ford’s alley?” and Fanny looked at
her brother Harry. “Of course,” said
he, with alacrity. “It is that little place
off Grove street, running down to the
station. The Northups live in the house
with the pretty garden. I know North-
up, conductor on the Appledale line, and
a right good fellow.”
Fanny opened her eyes with a grave
lookof surprise. Where on earth had Har­
ry picked up all this information about
the Northups? Edith managed to escape
rather abruptly, although she saw in
Harry Ashley’s eyes that he had intend­
ed to offer her his .escort as far as the
town. It was late twilight when Edith
reached home, and she felt too nervous
and excited to set to work as usual in
the evening hours. She remained a long
time in the dark watching the stars
come out in the sky through her high
window and living over the strange
events of the afternoon. Poor old Celes-
tina’s book of poetry lay in her lap, and
she touched it with a sense of pity. She
had planned to go to the Littlefield hos­
pital and inquire after the sick woman
the first thing in the morning. Then
her thoughts turned to young Ashley
and his sister, whom she could not but
like for these frank kindnesses. She
laughed to herself when she recalled the
little fib she had written that morning
to her brother Willard about the supe­
rior excellence of Littlefield society. A
few hours had made all the difference.
From utter lonelinessshe had leaped into
the best Littlefield! set. The Ashleys
certainly were -atjfa.^ top of the tree.
HARD TIMES.
It is not merely the fact that a million
men are said to be out of work, with conse­
quent loss of time, place and money that
makes the times seem so tough, but there
are other aggravations superadded, grow­
ing out of the willful neglect of so many,
that makes the times seem hard, indeed.
If better times were at hand and good
places open to all that are now idle, there
are thousands who would be totally unfit
to go to work by reason of the neglect of
some infirmity which totally unfits them
to accept a proffered chance. What better
opportunity could there be to get their
physical condition in good shape than the
enforced idleness gives them. To do so is
making profit out qf misfortune; not to do
so is making hard times so much harder.
It is poor logic to make anything bad grow
worse, and it is no economy at all to save
expense by sacrificing health. A man
wants brawn, muscle and brain-in as near­
ly a perfect condition as is possible to gain
a victory in the battle of life. It is mostly
from a beginning in little things that the
greater'ones accumulate and finally over­
whelm us. There is hardly one man who
labors with his muscles, from the skilled
mechanics down to those who work with
pick and shovel, but has some bodily ail­
ment neglected. What costly trifling it
is, looked at from results. For example:
the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and
muscles are all under constant strain from
the nature and demands of their .work.
Aches and pains must ensue. These, neg­
lected, soon reach the chronic stage of
stiffened limbs from contracted muscles.
How many old mechanics have bent backs
and backaches we know. This is simply a
condition of neglected lumbago, which had
it been treated in time could have been
cured in ten minutes by St. Jacobs Oil.
This is also true of all the minor aches and
pains. So certain a cure ought certainly to

“Edith March,’’ybung Ashley kept re­
peating over to himself as he restlessly
’ wandered from the veranda to the hall
and from the hall to the library. Where
had he heard the name? It seemed to
haunt him. He went over to a pile of
magazines on the library table, and se­
lecting one by chance opened at the ta­
ble of contents. “By Jove, here it is,
Fanny,” and he dashed into the drawing
room with the book in his hand. “She
is literary, and here is one of her stories.”
“Of whom, pray, are you talking,
Harold?”
“Why of that girl, of course, who
found the old party up in the woods—Miss
March. The name has been haunting
me ever since I heard it. And do you
know I recall now a letter I had yester­
day from Stevens, who is up at Tamerack
Camp with a young geologist named
March. He says he is a capital fellow,
and has a sister who writes. Of course
it must be the same.”
“Why, Harry,” said Miss Trevor, smil­
ing up at him from her reclining chair,
“you look as if you had found a gold
mine.”
Edith had been up three hours labor­
ing at her story in the dewy freshness of
the morning when a smart dog cart with
a groom on the back seat and a high
stepping horse driven by Mr. Harry Ash­
ley entered Ford’s alley at a lively pace
and stopped at Mrs. Northup’s door. The
good woman, when she answered the
summons, was electrified to find a smil­
ing young man on the doorstep who in­
quired if Miss March lived there, and de­
livered to her a dainty billet, intimating
that he would wait for an answer. She
came panting up the steps to Edith’s
room with Margery clinging to her gown.
Edith took the note abstractedly, an­
noyed to be interrupted in her work,
but when she had opened it and read her
face colored with blissful emotion. It

“Mr. Ashley said a verbal message
would answer,” the landlady remarked,
fairly bursting with curiosity to know
why the Ashleys should be running after
Miss March.
“Tell him, please, I accept with pleas­
ure,” said Edith, pink and smiling with
unexpected happiness. Why should she
deny herself a holiday—just this one?
“She accepts with pleasure,” said Mrs.
Northup to herself, as she went down
stairs, Margery’s light steps pattering
behind. “Well, I never did see the beat

did she get in with them Ashleys, the

As at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the award

Best Baking Powder Ever Made,
Pretty Things Made of Coal.
One of the Interesting small industries
of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania
is the manufacture of “coal novelties.”
The novelties are articles of ornament or
use turned out of chunks of prime anthra­
cite coal, such as candlesticks, inkstands,
napkin rings, matchsafes, watch charms
and several others. None but the very
best coal is used. It is susceptible of a
high polish, and the articles made from it
are genuine novelties to people who live in
other places than the coal regions. A one
armed man in a neighboring town makes a
good living in the manufacture of coal nov­
elties, and a Lehigh Valley engineer turns
out some nice ornaments of anthracite with
the lathe. The articles bring high prices,
but they are brittle and break easily.—Cor.

One Mother’s Way of Buying Clothes.
The wife of one of our best known novel­
ists has her own peculiar notions of house­
hold economies. Once in so often she buys
up clothing sufficient in her view to clothe
* large family for a rather extended period
of time. This she puts without reservation
into her children’s hands. They can be
careful and painstaking, and thus save it,
or they can be reck less and run through it
and then go without. Generally in the end
they go without.
But, whatever the result, nothing more
is forthcoming until the end of the specified
time. The young people are thus roughly
dragged along by the no means royal road
to learning that one cannot eat one’s cake
arid keep it.—Her Point of View in New
York Times.
Prepared to Turn on Her Tears.
One young wonian went to the matinee
prepared for the affecting parts of the
play. She carried -lightly sewed in the
center of a second handkerchief a tiny
powder puff, which she proceeded to
dust with powder from a little enameled
box into which it fitted. With the puff
concealed in the handkerchief she calm­
ly watched the scene progress to the
agony point, ignoring the tears that, sure
enough, began presently to stream down
her cheeks. When the curtain fell, how­
ever, she took instant advantage of the
momentary reaction of the audience, and
wiping her face with one handkerchief,
with the second she cleverly dusted her
too red nose-, and cheeks with the toning
down powder, and beamed upon the wo­
men about her who were not forearmed.
