'I did not givo it to him! He stole
it owt of the mother's album. He did!
he did! he did!" The speaker's voice
rose with each repetition and her
cheeks jrot redder and redder. I
must know better than you, Rosie."
"Oh, of course; you do not call it
pivirr. but I do. l"ou were standing
by, 1 suppose, when he took itP Your
eyes were cast down and yon put your
ruost becoming pout on? And now
that Tom Ciichton, with his ten
thousand a year, falls in love with
you and wants to marry you, you are
afraid that poor Geoff Hamilton will
show him your photograph and talk
about your silly letters and make mis
chief. You incorririble little, flirt. It
would serve you right to be treated as
you have treated others. How many
men have you made fools of, I won
der? A dozen?''
The speaker spoke sarcastically; her
hearer was be "-inning to erv. The
girls were sisters, says a story ' teller
in the London World", both young, both
pretty and charming; but Letty, the
vtmnger, was a lovely, brainless little
iiirt- The eider, Rosalind, had plenty
of brains, but scarcely experience
enough to enable her to use them ju
diciously. She was a brilliant creat
ure to look at warm-hearted and im
pulsive to a fault. There is nothing
she would not do or dare for one she
loved, and she dearly loved her be
witching little sister, and rejoiced
with ail her heart when the genial,
jrood-iookinjr young "squire," Tom
Crichton, whorame into the neighbor
hood to take possession of an unex
" pected inheritance, fell in love at first
tsight with Letty and proposed to her
airer a week's acquaintance.
But Tom was a quick-tempered,
jealous young fellow, and he had al
ready spoken his mind to Miss Letty
about her love of flirtation. She
promised to mend her ways, but it
was more than she could do to keep
her promise when temptation came in
alluring guise. ...
Mireford was a garrison Vrwny ai
one of the gallant Dashshire regiment,
Geoffrey Hamilton by name, had
quickly succumbed to the fascination
of the younger of the two daughters of
the widowed Mrs. Maitland, who
lived in a pretty cottage on the Lon
don road about half a mile or so from
Mireford. It was in vain that Rosa
lind warned the heedless young co-
that she was treating poor
young Hamilton disgraceful ly. But
in good truth the young man was very
well able to take care of himself. He
was not very deeply wounded; but as
soon a3 Crichton appeared upon the
scene he made up his mind to punish
Miss Letty, if possible, for her tricks
by pretending to be broken-hearted
and desperately jealous.
He was, however, sufficiently in love
to be able to put a fair amount of ser
iousness into his reproaches, and when
he flatly refused to give up the photo
graph Letty h-d given him and one
or two absurd little notes she had writ
ten to him and a glove he had pur
loined, the silly girl was thoroughly
frightened and. firmly persuaded that
"Tom" would hear all about it and
break off his engagement. Had Rosa
lind but known how slightly Hamil
ton's heart was touched she would 4
iave quickly laughed Letty out of her
fright; but when the girl solemnly as
sured her that Geoff was bo much in
love and so angry and jealous that she
knew he meant to have his revenge
the sensible elder sister forgot that
she was not living in a melodramatic
age, and, moreover, she quite over
looked the fact that Hamilton, being a
gentleman, it was not likely that he
would act as if he were a cad. -
So, on the whole, things were look
ing very serious when, for the fiftieth
time atleast, Rosalind tried to make
her sister confess whether she had
given Geoff the photograph, or wheth
er he had taken it from Mrs. Mait
land's album. She had her own opin
ion on the subject, so it was really
waste of time to cross-question the
naughty bttle girl, who was anxious to
keep peace between the old love and
tiiernew.
"I think you are very unkind,
Rosie," she said at last; "and if you do
not believe me, how can I expect Tom
to do it?"
"I do not expect Tom to do it! You
talk as if believing in you were a gym
nastic feat. I know what I should do
in Tom's place if another man told me
he had a photograph of the girl I
meant to marry, and gloves and
things "
"He has only one glove and no
things!" interrupted Letty, whimper
ing. "Don't exaggerate; and I gave
Tom two photographs one sitting and
one standing and he bas heaps and
heaps of letters."
I hope the spelling is all right."
I hope so. He is not much of a
speller himself."
'He spelt 'adored' with two d's the
other day My addored one. It
looked so funny."
"Mr. Hamilton is away just now, is
he not?" Rosalind asked presently.
.--""Yes. He went to his sister's wed
ding. I wish it was to his own."
"He does not live in the barracks, I
think?-'
"2no; he has rooms in Diamond Cres
cent, No. 15, and Gerard Townsend
lives with him."
"He is the womaaJiating person
who is reading for something and
never goes out? And now I
suppose you are going to write to
your 'addored' Tom? I am going out
, for a walk.
"-s'And won't you advise me how to
get back my photograph? I wish I had
not given it to him."
"O, so you did give it!""
"I am afraid I did," sighed Letty.
"But he begged so hard and said he
. hainever cared enough for any girl
skBk for her likeness before.
V "Poor fellow! But he must firive it
np. Now go and write your fetter."
And Rosalind ran out ox the room.
About an hour later a young lady
With a mackintosh on her arm knocked
at the door of 15 .Diamond Crescent.
She had evidently been walking fast.
for her cheeks were glowing and her
eves were bright.
"This is awful," she said to herself,

woman opened it,
"Are are the geullenieii at home?''
the visitor asked. "I mean is Mr.
Townsend at home? I ant his sister,
and he expects me, I think."
"Oh, walk in ma'am, if you please.
Mr. Townsend told me you were not
coming until to-morrow. He is out
just now, but your room is quite
ready. Have you no luggage, ma'am?"
The visitor muttered something
about the station as she went into the
hall. "Please show me into the sitting
room," she said; "I can wait for my
brother there. No, thank you; no tea
Is this the room?''
"Yes, ma'am. The gentlemen has
this between them. Mr. Hamilton is
coming back unexpected this evening.
He was telegraphed for, as there Ts
some talk of tho regiment leaving at
once."
"What is that noise?" the visitor
asked. ,
"Rain, ma'am. It's a thunder show
er, I think. It always makes that
noise on tho roof of the verander. It's
well you was under cover, ma'am."
Rosalind gave a sigh of relief as the
door at last closed behind the land
lady. "Now, if by a stroke of good
fortune I can commit my felony and
get away before my brother come9 In
what an extraordinary thing that he
should bo expecting his sister. I sup

graph on the chimneypiece) that is the

least! Now, 1 wonder where Mr.
Geoff keeps hi9 treasures. In a drawer,
of course; but which drawer? I do
not half liko rummaging among the
poor man's possessions, but he brought
it on himself.
.V
She presently came upon a packet
neatly tied up with red ribbon and
sealua. She pinched it. It evidently
contained a photograph, for she felt
the cardboard, and there was some
thing Soft that might be a glove; and
surely those were withered flowers
that craekled as she pressed them!
And the more lumpy inclosures must
be letters. Should she untie the rib
bon and break the seal. But time was
passiug and there was really no neces
sity. Then she turned the packet over
and found an inscription that settled
the question. In a man's writing were
the wonts: "L.'s likeness and letters.
Very precious."
"Poor Geoff! Poor, dear fellow!
How devotedly he loves her! I am so
sorry for liim. 'Very precious,' he
calls them." Rosalind murmured.
"But precious or not, I must rob him
of them. We cannot lose Tom. I
wonder what Letty will say when she
sees them? Now, I wish 1 were safely
out of this. I must write the tiniest
scrap of a note and leave it for poor,
dear Geoff." She closed the tlrawer,
put the packet in her pocket, and
wrote hastilv on a half sheet of paper,
"L.s sister lias taken what you have
no right to keep against her will."
She had just addressed the envelope
when she heart! steps on the stairs;
in another moment the door was
opened and a handsome young man
came in.
"How awkward!" thought Rosalind.
"But I must keep up the character of
lownseud s sister. t ho in the world
is he?"
The new-comer stood still and stared
at her. She was the prettiest girl he
had seen for many a day. She made
him a little bow. "I am Mr. Town
send's sister," she said, "and I expect
him every moment; he not expect me
until to-morrow. Did not the landlady
tell vou I was here?
"She she she did!" the young man
gasped.
"11 hit a donkey he ts!' thought
merciless Rosalind, quite at her ease.
although she had just been robbing; a
drawer. "I wonderif vou would mind
SToine to look for my brother?" she
said aloud in the sweetest manner.
"It would be so very kind. It is awk
ward to be here all alone with people
coming m. bhe gave him a little
smile to indicate that he was one of
the people. "I have to go to the sta
tion for mv luggage" (what dreadful
stories I am telling! she added to her
self); then aloud, "and, perhaps, by
the time I come back he will be here."
"Oh, you will come back, will vou?
But it's raining cats and dogs! lou'll
be drenched."
Oh, dear, no! I have a water
proof," and Rosalind took up . her
cloak. "Thank you," as the young
man rushed forward and put ,t round
her shoulders. "And you will go and
find Gerard for me," she said, turn
ing to him with the sweetest Binile.
There was the slightest possible hesi
tation before she said the name. He
noticed nothing but the beauty of her
eyes. " thank you very much!
tone was gone before he recovered
himself, and when Geoff Hamilton
came into the sitting-room at No. 15 a
few minutes later he found his friend
Townsend hanging out of a window.
"Hallo, Gee!" he said, "what's np?
You look dazed. Seen a ghost?"
"No; bnt the prettiest girl in the
world She was here. She said she
was my sister. She asked me to go
and look for myself, while she went
to the station for her luggage."
"Then she'll be back?"
"Not she! She turned the other
way."
"J. hen who in the world is she. and
what brought her hert?"
"I suspect you know all about that.
you rascal! She's one of your army of
martyrs, I take it."
"Rubbish! I am the inartvr. What's
this?" He had picked np Rosalind's
note from the writing-table. G.
Hamilton, Esq.' Now for the heart of
the mystery." He opened the note
and read it. Then he threw himself
into a chair with a very red face.
Then he laughed. Then I am afraid
he swore.
Meanwhile Rosalind, with her heart
thumping half with fright and half
with trinmph, was speeding home
ward. She flew to Letty's room and
found that young person on her bed
reading a novel.
"There!" Rosie cried, throwing down
the packet, "never say again that I am
not your best friend. There are your
letters and your photograph, and all
the keepsakes you gave that poor, dear
man from time to time; and you ought
to be ashamed of yourself!"
"What!" cried unabashed Letty.
"Did he give them upP He is a darl
ing." "No," answered Rosalind, calmly;
"I stole them."
"Oh, you dear delightful darling!
How sweet of you! Poor boy, how
sorry he will be. But what fun.
What is this written outsideP L.'s
likeness and letters. Very precious."
Poor, dear Geoff, how fond he is of
me." And she gave a little sentimental
sigh.
"Had you not better open the thinp:
and see if you have them all right?"
said practical Rosie. "Here, cut the
knot."
No sooner said than done. A cab
inet photograph fell out, then a piece
of deep crimson ribbon, a few faded
flowers, and two or three notes.
This is such a good likeness Tom
had bettr have itv' said Letty, as she
took up the picture, which had fallen
face downward on the bed. "Look,
Rosie!"
Rosie looked, and, behold, it was a
likeness of a tall, handsome girl, who
bore not the slightest reseml-iance to
handsome little Letty. Beneath was
written in a firm a.nd dashing woman's
hand the one word "Louie."
The sisters looked at one another
with blank faces. A glance at the
notes revealed the same dashi nor hand.

"Never mind, dear," said Letty; "I
am sure I don't. But I wish 1 fenew
what he sees to admire in that black
woman. Just puck her up aud send
her back to him."
A tap at the door interrupted them.
It was a maid to announce that Mr.
Townsend was in the drawing-room.
Ha wanted to see Miss Maitland for a
few minutes on business. He had a
message and a little packet to deliver.
"Tell Mr. Townsend I ara
directly," said Rosalind.
coming
"Oh, Rosie, do 3-011 mind?" cried
Letty, as the maid went out. "He
has sent my picture, I suppose, and
he wants his black woman back. Tell
him we think her frightful. Are you
sure von do not mind seeing him?"
"Not in tiie least." said Rosalind. I
saw his likeness in their sitting-room,
and he is plain aud elder!-. Give me
those things and trust to my ingenuity
to get myself out of the scrape. J. he

And jnst as she was in her muddy
little boots and with the wlud-blown
untidy hair she went down stairs;
and it still Is and it ever will remain a
mystery what those two said to one
another when they stood face to face.
But Geoff got back his precious
packet and Letty got her photograph.
She gave it to Tom forthwith and he
was delighted.
She is now Mrs. Crichton. Hamil
ton was finally captured by a pretty
young widow. I do not know what
became of "Louie," but Rosalind mar
ried Gerard Townsend and he still
thinks she is the prettiest woman in
the world.

"I had the pleasure of witnessing a
negro execution once." said r J.
Glave at the Sherma? House recently.
Mr. Glava has jnst returned from
Alaska, where he has been exploring
the interior, but for the six years prior
to that he was in the Congo country
with Stanley. "I had the pleasure of
seeing this execution and of knowing
that 1 wasn't strong enough to stop it,
I was allowed to witness it only on the
condition that I and my companion
should be nnarmed. But for that I
should hare shot the chief and the exe
cutioner. Afterwards I did have
forces enough to prevent it, and for
two years there weren't any wanton
killings. The missionaries have the
place now and the slaughter is going
merrily on. Soft words won't stop it.
It take9 something more than that to
iuit the fear of God iuto those blacks.
Jut I am drifting away from my story.
Some old women of influence had died
and accordingly, to celebrate the oc
casion, a slave had to be sacrificed.
He was lashed fast in a kind of a seat
and a pliant stem about fifteen feet
long stuck into the ground near him.
The top of it was bent over and tied
fast to his head, so that his neck was
as taut as a fiddle-string. That was
the first time 1 had seen them use one
of their soft iron knives, and I expect
ed to see the poor fellow's neck hag
gled into rags, but I heard only a click
when it struck the bones of the spinal
column, and the man's head shot away
like a pebble in a sling. A fountain of
blood spurted from his neck, and the
body worked and twitched exactly as a
chicken does when its head is cut off.
The head when picked up was chatter
ing its jaws and rolling its eyes.
"It's awful, the amount of killing
that goes on in Africa. A tribe will
make up a party and go out to make
captives in an adjoining village. They
wait until after night and then fire up
on the village until its defenders are
killed. They take the rest of the folk
and make slaves of them. Some are
killed for the mere fun of killing them,
some are slaughtered to be eaten, some
for sacrifice, and others die from cruel
treatment. About five out of every six
captives taken die by violence. As a
consequence interior Africa is being
rapidly depopulated. One may go for
hundreds of miles and not see a roan,
but may note the charred stumps which
mark where villages have once been."

TIIE YACHTING TRIP.
"No, indeed," said Thalia, giving
her lace parasol a significant twirl;
"you don't catch me marrying a poor
mau. No oatmeal, old "shoes, and
made-over gowns for ma. I'd rather
die an old maid any day."
"That is putting it very strongly,"
said her Cousin Dorothy, who was
quietly hemming the edge of a surah
sash for lhalia. "Uuce 1 heard you
say that if you were not married at" 30
to"u would take a dose of laudanum."
Thalia laughed, and tossed her pretty
head till her ostrich plumes danced
disdainfully. She thought there was
no danger of her being driveu to a
violent death.
"I tell you what, Thalia." said Maud
Dare, looking up from her chocolates
and her novel, "you ought to make a
dead set at that Gordon man. They
say he is awfullv rich 1500,000. at
least and he owns that pretty yacht
down the inlet, too."
"The Myosotis?" said Thalia, with
growing animation. "Why. I didn't
know that. Who told you? '
"Oh, I don't know," "Maud replied.
carelessly. "You know dear, siuce I
am engaged myself I don't pay much
attention to these new men."
Who is that Mr. Campbell?" Thalia
went on.
What Mr. Campbell? The one who
was so sweet on Dorothy? Oh, they
sav he is a bank clerk somewhere. He
Is a friend 01 Mr. Gordon s, you know.
I believe Gordon pays all his bills."
1 dou t believe It: said Uorothy,
with sudden animation. "He is not
that kind of a man at all. I don't
know him very well, but I am sure he
is too manly a fellow to to "
Thalia burst out laughing and
Dorothy paused.
Dorothv, mv dear," she said in a
patronizing way, "don't go and fall in
love with a bank clerk, now please
don't! I should think you'd had
enough of poverty In all these years
that you bare had to teach and sew
and struggle along. For pity's sake
I shall marry a man whom I can
love, no matter what his circum
stances are." said Dorothy, firmly.
Be still, both of vou!" Maud inter
rupted, changing her pose. Here
conies Mr. Gordon now.
Dorothy gathered up-her work hastily
and went into the house.
Thalia's face was wreathed with
miles.
"So glad to see vou. Mr. Gordon."
she said, sweetly. "We were getting
so horriblv dull! You have just- come
in time to cheer ns ud."
Dorothy tossed her work into the
basket under the window, seized her
bat. and went out the back door.
"Thalia will drive me frantic," she
said, as she dashed across the meadows
dowa to the strand. "Oh, if I were
only rich enough to refuse her patron
age and rid myself of this humiliating
servitude. Thalia treats me like her
maid, and I must bear it."
"Whv. Miss Flovd " some one ex
claimed, at this moment. "I was just
going to hunt you up. The Myosotis
is up at me lanuing. vt ou 1 you iaae
a little sail with me?"
Dorothy stopped in confusion. Some
one with a tine brown face and rather
stubborn dark hair that grew straight
up from a high smooth forehead was
smiling at her in the bright morning
sunlight.
"Oh, Mr. Campbell"' she began, and
stopped.
"You are out of sorts, areu t you?
he said, easily. "Well, bo am I. It
will do us good to have a sail this
morning. I feel as though I wanted
to get away from everybody every
body except you." he added, softly.
"Is Mr. Gordon going, and Thalia
and and all the rest?" Dorothy said,
dubiouslv.
"No, indeed!" he said, with empha
sis, "i want you, and nooody else.
Will you go?"
Dorothy assented gladly. It was
just what she wanted. She wondered
how Mr. Uampoell took the liberty of
running off with the Myosotis but it
was too delightful to puzzle over, and
she gave herself up to the pleasure of
it.
"Now, I want j-ou to tell me some
thing," said Campbell, as they went
skimming over the water together
"Where is it that I have seen you be
fore we met here at Miss Doane's? I
feel as though I had known you for
years."
"I don't know. I used to teach, you
know. I was governess at Mrs. Law
ton's before I came to Miss Doane's'
Mrs. Clarence Lawton, you know."
"My aister's!" he cried. "I knew I
had seen you somewhere. Miss Floyd.
I hope you are going to be a friend of
mine."
"Do you believe in friendship?" she

Thalia flounced out of the room.

Dorothy lilted her shv face and

"You you won't give me a chauce

by which she tried to hide her excite

Campbell caught her in bis arms.

"Not a little," she whispered "a

The bow of the Myosotis was grating

"Don't!" Dorothy cried. "There

Campbell scowled at the intruders.
"Dou't speak." he said, in a low
tone. "They haven't seen ns."
Thalia went up the beach, leaning
lovingly on Gordon's arm.
When Dorothy came in. rather late
to luncheon, she was lying up in her
room, crying hysterically.
"What on earth is the matter with
Thalia?" cried Dorothy, who had tried
to get into her cousin's room aud had

Maud Dare was eating olives and
drinking coffee in the morning-room.
"Oh." she said, in a disgusted tone,
"Thalia has made a fool of herself!

Dutch Courtship.
In certain parts of Holland, when a
yonng man thinks he has found his
affinity, it is customary for him to ask
for a match to light his cigar at the
door of the beloved one's house. This
little subterfuge is intended to arouse
the parents of the girl to the fact that
something is in the wind.
If the second call with a similar ob-
iect is made soon after, no doubt is
eft othe young man's intentions, and
the parents proceed to investigate the
youug mau s character and antece
dents with a view of ascertaining his
eligibility as a member of the family,
When he calls a third time, alwavs for
a match to lig'it his cigar, they are pre
pared to give him an answer.
If his suit is regarded with favor he
is politely requested to step inside for
the firKt time and is served with a light.
If he is not accepted he is refused a
light and the door is shut in his face
without further ceremony. But, hav
ing prepared for this ciiiiiingency. the
downcast suitor will in all probability
light his weed with a match from his
own box and walk away musing on
the transitory nature of all earthly
things. When the accepted suitor is
invited to enter the bouse he, as a
matter of course, iuforms tho parents
which of their daughters has captivated
his fancy.
When this is settled the young man
tens forward and they join hands.
Wliile tho engagement is by no means
a settled fact, even at this importaut
stage, yet it is stated as a truth that
when, on the occasion of the young
man's third visit, his iuamorata has
offered him a second cigar, which he
smoked in their house, tho engage
ment has never been canceled.

African Pipes.
Mr. Stanley's expedition has brought
to light some curious specimens of
pipe from equatorial Africa. Surgeon
Park has made careful drawings of
them. The simplest specimen of a
rough and ready pipe is that used by
the natives of the Arutvimi and Ituri
forests. Its stem is a perforated ba
nana stock. The bowl is a banana leaf
rolled up into a funnel, like a grocer's
paper, and inserted into a hole cut in

LAKE DWELLERS IN AFRICA.
TliminroU of llhtric who Hear Their If OU
on files In the llrnlinni Waters.
Much attention was recently called
to tho region around Kotonou, on the
Gulf of Guinea, near which place sev
eral hundred of the women warriors
of the King of Dahomey were killed in
battle by tho French troops. One of
th most interesting features of this
region Is the large native villages and
towns that have beeu built in the
water. The Inhabitants many years
ago took this means of trying to escape
from the terrible raids of the King of
Dahomey. Many hundreds of people
wero actually driven by the powerful
King into the water. It happens that
Ihe Diihomiaus are very superstitions
about traveling in canoes or crossing
streams, and the fugitives took advan
tage of this fact to secure protection
for themselves.
On any good map one may see the
"Denham waters" near Kotonou. This
is the home of these lake dwellers.
The towns have each a population of
from 200 or 800 souls to as many thou
sands. Physically the people are fine
and healthy specimens of Africans,
and as a rule they are free from dis
ease. Gov. Moloney of Lagos sav the
houses are built upon piles or straight
branches of hard wood three to six
inches in diameter. They are driven
into the bottom of the lake. The up
per ends are secured bv cross pieces.
on which are laid a bamboo flooring.
two-thirds or one-half of which is cov
ered in by a house. The uprights of
the house" are fixed first and secured
below the platform to the supporting
piles. The roof frame is next made on
the platform, and is covered with
frass or bamboo leaves, and raised to
ts position. The remaining nortion
of flooring is used as a veranda. In
the construction no nails are used.
These natives are fishermen and also
a pastoral people. It is a curious fact
that they keep cattle in pens adjoining
their bouses built on piles over the
water like their dwellings. Some
times during the dry season the shal
lowness of tho water admits of the cat
tle being allowed to wander on terra
iirnia; but fodder is brought in canoes
to many less fortunate auimals which
are compelled to eke out their exist
ence in these pens surrounded by
water until uch time as they are
tethered and transported by canoe to
the butcher.
The present natives are still in dread
of the Dahotuians. but even if this fear
no longer existed it is probable that
the habit which they and their fathers
before litem have long followed would
lead them to prefer these aquatic
residences. It is not known how many
lake dwellers there are, but it is sup
posed there are at least 10.000 of them
among the various tribes whose huts
cover the Denham waters. Once in a
while these tribes make war on one
another, and they conduct their fight
ing in canoes, capable of holding two
or three persons, and their weapons
are guns, harpoons, spears and clubs.
Iu some other parts of Africa, par
ticularly in the Congo basin, the habit
of dwelling in huts sustained on piles
in lakes or rivers is very largely fol
lowed, and perhaps a million or two
of the people of Africa are still perpet
uating the phase of life of which we
have relics in the remains of the lake
dwellers of the pre-historic era.
SLEEPING WITH A BABV.
Mu Who lima t.lred Through ta
perlene Tells Hla Story.
T.x-
The free from care and ease takin;
old bachelor who, lu ins momentary
lapse 01 wisoom, contemplates main
inonv, should at the same time reflect
on the remote but contingent possibili
ty of bis having to some tune sleep
with a baby, should he marry. Years
of experience of martyrdom make me
feel it to be my duty to set forth the
misery arising from a contingency of
this kind.
The babe, if he happens to be a lnsty
little fellow of 8 or 9 mouths, will de
cline to stay covered, and will also de
cline to allow you to keep yourself
covered, lie mdicates bis wishes in

He will also insist ou lvinjj "cross

"bias" or iu any other position but that
which wilt give you a few inches of
room in the bed and a few minute's
sleep. His infantile needs will begin
to manifest themselves about 1 o'clock
in the morning. at which witching hour
you will go blundering arouud in the
dark for a drink of water.
He will howl steadily and cheerfully
from 3 to 3 o'clock and will kick you
furiously between the shoulder blades
with every bowl. It will not beof any
use for you to pat him tenderly and
sing out, "There, there." He is right
there and knows it and intends that
you shall know it.
It is of no use to say coaxinglv.
"What does papa's baby want?" Papa's
baby doesn't want anything bnt to
howl. and. he is gratifying that rmiable
desire to the utmost. It is of no use
to add to your judgment day list of
enormities by swearing. And if your
wife has been calmly passive through
it all she will develop an amazing de
gree of spirit if you dare lay the weight
of your finger in anger on that "poor,
dear, innocent, darling sweetness."
He will squirm all night as though ha

He will journey around alT over the

You are no sooner asleep than one
of his moist little heels is planted firm

later "on, with child hood's scorn of
decency and decorum, he will sit astrii'e
your neck and grow green aud purple
with rage when gently made to sit else
where. Should he fall out of bed and yell
loud enough to be heard all over y'onr
ward your wife will say that she firmly
believes that you pushed him out and
that you are not fit to be a father, any
how. An animated dialogue of a pure
ly personal and private nature will fol
low this remark.
But when the roysterlog little chap
finally "snuggles up" tdyoti and goes
to sleep with one of his velvety Iilllo
cheeko close to your own, and one of
bis warm, soft arms around your neck,
you find your heart growing very soft
and teuder toward him. and you would
single handed wage war against a host
or lay down your life for tho love of
him. Detroit Fret 1'rcss.

A little curate lately proposed for

widow famous In society for the Bril
liancy of her wit. The match would
have been in every way unsuitable,
and the mother firmly though politely
refused her sanction, whereupon the

and wrote back a somewhat violent
and altogether unbecoming letter,end
ing with: Probably, had my coat
been red instead of black, you would
think well of me." To which the
widow replied by next post: "Sir,
your note would not demand an an
swer, but that you seem to labor un
der a misapprehension. Your profes
sion has nothing to do. with my re
fusal. It is not the coat, but the thing
inside it, to which I reasonably end
properly object."

beak like a miner's pick his un

ly, squawky, ehattering voice would
make him "a marked specialty any

Down at Mound Mouse junction 01
the C. & C. with the V. & T. railroad
Is another lively young magpie. He
belongs to Dave Pittman, conductor on
the C. & C, and makes himself at home
in and around the depot. He es
pecially enjoys flying into the open
door or window of some temporarily
stopping passenger car and having a
garrulous chat with the passengers.
The other morning, for instance, when
the local p:isenger train stopped there,
ns usual, "Barney" flew in through the
rear door, perched himself on the back
of one of the seats, and astonished the
ladies and gents present with the volu
bility of his linguistic powers. He vol
unteered more information than any
body had heard or he knew himself,
waiting for no introduction to those
who didn't know him. Everybody
liked him and listened to him like an
oracle. One familiar gentleman ad
dressed him:
"I Bar, Barnev."
"What?"
"Are you there, Barney?"
"Ah, there pretty good! Ah. there
ha, ha, ha! dammit, get out! dry np

"Where are vou going. Barnev? Are
you a deadhead on this train?"
"mat s wnar- tiurram na, na, you

"What's the news in politics, Bar
ney? Who's getting in?''
"Barnev, Barney, ha. ha, whoo.

"Bnt who is going to be the next
congressman?"
"John Mackay, John fllackay! ha,
ba, John Mackay!"
"But which party is going to win, re
publicans or democrats?
Rats! rats! rats! ba, ha! dammit

Just here Jerry Bray, the con
ductor, stepped in from the baggage-
room. . -
"Get out o' here, you long-tailed
rascau whoosh" and with a wild, de.
risive squawk Barney flitted out of the
back door, flying back toward Monnd
House. "Oli, what a pity now," some
of the ladies exclaimed; "he'll be lost."
"Never you fear for him, ladies," re
sponded Jerry; "he's all right. Hare to
run him out of this every day. Never
allow him to deadhead any farther
than the Eureka dump." The train
men. freight-handlers, and everybody
about Monnd Honse station knows
Barney and handle htm familiarly, yet
bave to be on their guard lest he should
take a sly notion to nip a small chunk
out of their finger or back of their
band with his sharp, stout beak.
Three or four days ago. at the board-
ing-honse near the station, he was hav
ing a little concert with a pet canary.
when, out of pure rollicking fun, he
gave his musical little friend a jovial
poke with bis bill under the left ear.
Directly after Barney stood over him
watching his death struggles, with his
head cocked contemplatively over one
side, muttering "Uammit, rats, rats.
rats." Barney was arrested and caged,
but for the two days that he languished
in the bastile he never spoke a word or
even squawked.
The magpie is a mischievously de
structive fowl, perhaps more so in some
localities than others. Harry I Bab-

traveler, tells the following which

they carried off bedding, blankets, and

got away with the cooking utensils and

stage-driver saw about forty of them
doing their best to pack off the stove.
but it was too much for them. They

How Tin Soldiers Are Made.
M. Leon Duplessis. the Vice-Consul
of France at Nuremberg, has contrib
uted to the Bulletin Constilairi a very
interesting description of the mann
factnre of the toy soldiers in lead for
which the artisans of Nuremberg and
Forth have long been famous. Tb
first thing is to make sketches of the
intended figures. Great pains are be
stowed on them. The best artists do
not hesitate when asked to supply
models for these toy soldiers, and in
making their sketches they have to
bear in mind certain fixed roles, while
when they make colored sketches tbey
nave to avoid deep tints and select
gaudy colors, which children so much
preter. J. hey must also possess a inn
knowledge of the military costumes of
the period to which the soldier tney
represent belonged.
At Nuremberg and at Furth slate
moulds are used for the plain figures.
while brass moulds are employed for
those in relief. Xbe slate for the for
mer is bought at Sonneberg. in Tbur-
ingia, and the tin, which is purchased
in England, is melted and poured into
them through a small orifice. The
metal soon hardens when it has been
poured in, and the workman then re
moves the figures, cutting off any ex
crescences which may have been
caused by the molten metal rnnning
over into the interstices. The soldiers
then have to be painted, and this
always done by women, who work at
home, each woman being given a cer
tain number of figures at the begin
ning of the week. The system gener-
ally adopted is to place a dozen figures
or so upon a piece of wood slit up the
centre so as to hold them in a fixed
position. When one side of the figure
is dry she turns it round and paints
the other. Her wages are very poor.
The final process, also intrusted to
women, is that of packing the soldiers.
which are placed in boxes of su, w,
120 or 240 pieces (weighing one-eighth
one-quarter, one-half or one pound)
for the infantry, and of 12. 24. 48 or 96
pieces (of the same weights) for the
cavalry. Boston Evening jranscrip.
A Case or Tree lies urrect ion.
. About 1375 a large tree of the elm
species, growing on the farm of Mr.
Smyth, rector of Little Houghton
England, was blown down, upturnin
an immense quantity of dirt in its fall.
Inis large ball of earth bad almost en
tirely washed from the roots on the
upper side, whan in 1881, workmen
were set to work removing the old
forest monster. W hen they had saw
off several of the large limbs on the
uudermost side, to their great astonish
meut, not to say downright terror, the
tree rose of its own accord and went
back into the pit excavated by the up
turning roots six years before, standin
np in its original plac,e, straight as an
arrow. In 1882 it threw out a fresh
green head and still stands, even to
this day. a curious example of a resur-
