Fun ut Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at home,
good people. Don't shutup your houses
lest the sun should fade your carpets,
and your hearts lest happy laugh
should shake down some OF the musty
cobwebs there. If you want to rum
your sons, let them think that ell mirth
and social enjoyment must be left on
the threshold when they come home at
night. When once home is regarded
as only place to eat, drink and sleep
in, the work is begun that ends in
gambling-houses and degradation.
Young people must have fun and re-
taxation somewhere. If they do not
find it at their own hearthstones, it will
be sought in other, and perhaps less
profitable places. Therefore let the fire
burn brightly at night, and make the
home ever delightful with all those lit
tie arts that parents so perfectly under
stand. Don'trepresst the buoyant spirits
of your children half an hour OF mer.
riment round the lamp and freight OF
home blots out the remembrance OF
many O care and annoyance during the
day, and the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world is the
unseen influence of bright little do
mestic sanctum.

A Veteran Hangman.

For many years Calcraft was the exc
cutioner in London, and he sent many
men into eternity. He was known as
the London hangman, and received 20
per week as @ salary and $50 for every
execution. Besides this, the clothing
of his victim was the hangman's per.
ouisites. Isaacs was the hangman OF
the New York Tombs for many years,
and his victims number, we believe,
twelve. Isaacs was an old man-of-war's
man, thorough sailor, and in all OF his
executions he never bungled. He went
at his work methodically, and when an
execution was to take place, expert
mented with weights until everything
was perfect. After an execution ne
might be seen with the rope on his
shoulders, showing spectators how the
fatal knot was tied and how the result
came. None of his victims failed to
break their necks in the fall and the
knot never slipped. The sheriff usually
paid Isaacs $3.50 for each execution, and
other presents were made him. The
newspapers of New York city abused
the sailor 30 much about his occupation
that he one day took an oath he would
never hang another man, and he could
not be induced to. It is stated that
on the occasion Of an execution, sher.
iff who feared bungling work offered
Isaacs O one thousand dollar bill II he
would act as executioner, but the sailor
refused, and no money could induce him
even to give his advice to the new hang
man. Since Isaacs' day most OF the ex-
ecutions have been attended with un-
pleasant if not really distressing cir.
cumstances, outside OF those that
naturally belong to such affairs.

Men Of Action.

Some men seem to be sent into the
world for purposes of action only. Their
faculties are all strung up to toll and
enterprise; their spirit and their frame
are alike redolent of energy. They
pause and slumber like other men, but
It is only to recruit from actual fatigue
they occasionally want quiet, but only
as a refreshment to prepare them for re-
newed exertion, not as normal condl-
ton to be wished for or enjoyed tor
itself. They need rest, not repose.
They investigate and reflect, but only
to estimate the best means of attaining
their ends, or to measure the value OF
their undertaking against its cost; they
think, they never mediate. Their mis-,
sion, their enjoyment, the object and
condition of their existence, is work
they could not exist here without it;
tbey cannot conceive another life as de.
sirable without it. Their amount OF
vitality is beyond that Of ordinary men
thew are neyer to be seen doing nothing
when doing nothing else they are always
sleeping. Happy souls! Happy men,
at least

Police Lodgers.

Every night of the year an average OF
two hundred and sixty men and women,
outcasts of society, destitute strangers
and incorrigible vagrants find shelter
and rest in the various police station
houses of New York city. Seventy-hve
per cent. of these dodgers are undeserV-
ing of aid, but it is preferable to have
them under police surveillance at night
than to allow them to roam about the
streets and take advantage OF the care
lessness Of servants to commit petty
depredations. Ten per cent. OF the
worst class, as Investigations show, are
either professional mendicants or are
boarded by relatives, and in the course
of the year acquire knowledge OF every
station.house in the city. The rule in
station-houses has been, where the ap-
plicant for lodgings is known to be
undeserving and has for several nights
in succession been accommodated, 70
prefer charge of vagrancy against him
or her and let a magistrate act. Vicls-
situdes of trade and labor have much to
do in the winter months in filling the
station.houses with dodgers. OF the %
per cent. of honest dodgers the bulk
consists of strangers to the city looking
for employment and of migrants wait,
ing for funds from or intelligence OF
friends. There appears to be but little
inclination on the part of the ward de-.
tectives to become acquainted with and
classify the numerous petty thieves
who, when out of luck, claim the sta
tion.houses as their homes.

In q Chimney.

Mr.. Turner, of England, will not
amuse his children next Christmas with
stories of Santa Claus because he is
disgusted with that fabulous person.
Last Christmas he determined to sur
prise the little ones by descending the
chimney and playing Santa Claus for
their benefit. So he dressed himself In
a fur overcoat, loaded up with toys,
went out on the roof and jumped into
the fue. When he was about halfway
down he stuck, and could goneither one
way nor the other. Then he began to
veil for help. Mrs. Turner's brother,
who lived in the house, thought it was
a burglar, and he fired both the barrels
of his gun up the chimney ut him. And
then Turner felt more dissatisfied than
at first. The neighbors thought from
the excitement that the chimney must
be on fire, and in ten minutes the fire
department was out, and sixteen half
inch streams were pouring down the
fiue on Turner. Then he wanted to get
out worse than ever. At last, when the
truth was known, they tried to lift him
out with O rope, but without avail and
eventually they were compelled to un-
build half of the upper part of the
house to release him. It cost him one
hundred pounds for repairs and wear
and tear of body and mind. And now
he don't care whether Christmas ever
comes or not.

Boiling Hot Water for q Joker.

There is a lawyer in San Francisco
who, for the accommodation of his
clients, has a speaking tube leading
from the main entrance OF his building
to his office, which is just up few
flights. For several days past smart
Young man named Swartz has amused
himself by calling for the lawyer through
the pipe, and then profanely ordering
him to set out on an expedition to Tar
tarus. For some time this fun was
taken in good part by the legal expound-
er of the new code until the fine humor
of the joke no longer became apparent.
Accordingly, one afternoon, the dis.
ciple of Blackstone provided himself
with q teakettle of water, heated to
about 210 degrees, Fahrenheit, and
waited alongside the pipe. Pretty soon
the old, familiar sound came up through
the pipe, "Say, cap, how's tricks p
"Tricks is better now-I guess he'll
get we'll" responded the lawyer, reach
ing out after the teakettle. -,
"Whats been the matter With him ?"
"He got burnt"
"How ?"
"1'll tell you in minute.
ooh, you 60 to Hades.
The lawyer had finished his last SEN
tence and then let q quart of scalding
water down the pipe. Swartz had his
mouth over it, concluding his objurga-
ton, and when the water struck 1t he
was somewhat surprised. Water was
not apt to surprise him, but hot water
was an unexpected novelty.
The man above poured in water for
about minute and then looked out Of
the window. The smart young man
was getting along the sidewalk at o
pretty lively gait, having evidently just
got up from sitting posture: He was
trying to yell "Police," but couldn't
articulate with much success. About
half an hour afterward he found him.
self able to speak, and inquired, "Did
that boiler explosion hurt anybody"

Gen. Jim Lane, Of Kansas.

A Kansas letter speaking of the late
Gen. Jim Lane, one of the early border
men of that State, says: Lane sleeps
under the shadow of the State Uniyer-
sity of Kansas, amid the memories that
he made famous and that made him
great. He was great man. 1t made
no odds how we'll you knew the intrinsic
debauchery Of his life or the cursedness
of his character, you could not stand in
his rugged presence without feeling OF
awe and respect born of admiration
for the very qualities IN him which In
other men are despised and loathed.
Edwin Forrest was not his superior in
dramatic intensity and impetuosity. He
commanded men as lion or tiger might
awe lesser beasts. He could walk into
crowd that welcomed him with the click
ing of a hundled revolver locks, and in
five minutes every man in that crowd
would have spilled the blood right out
of his own heart in fighting for Jim
Lane. He could stand mute before a
kissing and groaning mob, and in two
minutes you could have heard the
breath of love in the air rustic the
scented tresses of maiden in the hush
which would be there. He could stand
before an audience, speaking to them
with those great, cavernous eyes OF MS,
while his lips were shut and still, raise
his hand, and every one would rise with
his gesture; lower his hand, and every
one would sit down obedient to the won
derful electricity of his will. He was
one of those men whose utter failure to
comprehend that there is such thing as
danger made his courage Of no particu.
lar credit to him. His impulses ruled
him utterly, and hecould never see any,
thing between himself and the object
he sought. If there was an obstacle, he
always looked right over the top OF it,
and walked over or through it with the
same unheeding unconcern. The pos
sibility thai u..ere was or might be any
thing which he could not overcome, was
a suspicion that his mind had no room
to entertain. And when he pulled the
trigger of his own Derringer, with its
cold muzzle against his lips, doubt If
he realized that there was any danger In
the act. The narrowest escape Gen.
Jim had was when Lawrence, his home,
was sacked during the war. Jim was
one of the men watched particularly,
but in his night clothes he escaped from
the back door, just as the attacking
party were laundering at the front.
Gen. Jim escaped to his corn field near
the house, the pursuers close upon his
heels. The darkness Of the night and
short time allowed the pursuers, favored
him, and Gen. Jim Lane escapedto to still
further figure in the history of his State;
1t is true that just after the first Bull
Run fight, Wisconsin Governor pro-
posed to make Lane Colonel of regi-
ment of his troops. Gen. Sherman
heard of it, and taking the Governor to
a knoll in front of his headquarters, he
pointed to the lunatic asylum on the
Washington side, simply saying, "Gover-
nor, if you want a crazy Colonel for your
regiment, go there and get one-dont
take Jim Lane" Lane did not get that
regiment.

A Brutal Man.

The confession of Jshn NJ. Osborne,
who was hung at Galesburg, ILL.,, for
the murder of Mrs. Mathews, is some.
what remarkable. 1t appears that it
was thought desirable by certain par
ties to put Mrs. Mathewsout OF the way,
as she was a witness in important cases.
A perfect stranger approached Osborne
and offered him first o smaller sum and
then s5, 900 to do the deed. He higgled
and hesitated, and finally consented, and
did the deed under circumstances OF
shocking and unmentionable brutality.
he had not the least grudge against tho
poor woman /; he did the bloody work
solely for the pay. 1t is believed that
he had before served term in the Iowa
Peuiteutiary.

Startling News from Cuba.

The Cuban war for independence
PROMISES soon to be settled in the In
terests of the people of the Ever-Falth-
fnl isle. Our advices from Washington,
as we'll as information received from au-
thentic sources, warrant us IN stating
that some startling revelations VIII
shortly be made in connection with the
relations of Cuba to Spain. There is
every reason for believing that we shall
soon hear of determined efforts on the
mart of the Cubans for driving out the
Spanish officials; and the prospects are
undoubtedly in favor of the success OF
the former. The following points may
be relied upon:
/. That active negotiations are now
on foot between the Government OF the
United States and the Spanish authori-
ties, having in view the independence
of Cuba, upon the payment OF o certain
sum Of money by the Cubans-thls
debt to be guaranteed by the United
States.
Q But in the meantime, in order to
render the Spaniards more willing to
come TO terms, the Cubans will make
desperate effort to rid themselves OF the
offensive domination under which they
have so long suffered. The season is
now opening most favorably for held
operations, hence lively news may SNORT,
ly be expected from the scene OF hostii-
8. The sailing Of several expeditions,
which have been quietly organizing. OF
late in the United States, may be anticl-
pated. These expeditions have for their
objective points such ports as are near
est to the insurgent headquarters. There
thew will rendezvous, there they will
land their stores and munitions-thus
giving great aid and comfort to the Gu
bans.
The domestic difficulties OF Spain
have rendered it impossible tor the
Spanish Government to send forward
men and ships of war to the West In.
dian waters. Besides, If she could send
men. it is certain death to consign raw
troops to Cuba. AS is well known, the
death rate among the unacclimatized
Spanish soldiers is fearfully heavy.
The number who have died in Cuba
since the commencement Of hostilities
is estimated at go, 900, and a still larger
proportion have been disabled. 1eI un-
less supplies of soldiers are kept up the
spaniards cannot hold the island year
longer. These points, it is understood,
have been fully discussed in the secret
sessions of the Senate, and that body is
prepared to support the views OF the
government upon this momentous topic.
In the meantime, General Sickles has
fully comprehended the situation ; and
while he was very prompt in congrasu-
lating the authorities Of Madrid upon
the change to republican form OF gov
ernment' he lost no time in taking meas
ures for securing Cuba to the Cubans.
He has been zealously forwarding such
delicate negotiations as are briefly
sketched above. SO the public may
look for startling news, at any time, IN
regard to the Queen Of the Antilles

Loves Reasons.

Why do love my darling so7
Good faith, my heart, I hardly know,
I have such store Of reasons:
'Twould take me all summer day
Nay, saying half that I could say
Would fill the circling seasons.
Because her eyes are softly brown,
Ny dove, who quietly hath flown
To me as to her haven?
Because her hair is soft and laid,
Madonna-wise in simple braid,
And jetty as the raven?
Because her lips are sweet to touch,
Not chill, nor fiery overmuch,
But softly warm as roses
Dear lips that chasten while they move,
Lips that man may dare to love,
Till earthly love-time closes?
Because her hand is soft and white,
or touch 30 tender and so light,
That where her slender finger
Doth fall CT move, the man to whom
The guards of Eden whispered, "Come!"
Beneath its spell might linger ?
All, me what know or what care I?
Or what hath love to do with "why?"
How simple is the reason
! love her, for she is my love,
And shall while stars shall shine above,
And season follow season.

Increase of Domestic Manufactures.

Probably no increase in the develop
ment of national wealth has been shown
in the history of the world equal to That
presented by the United States during
the last decade. During that period,
the values of the annual products Of
the country have risen from 81 1856, $751;
776, in 1860, to 81, 232, 1926, 442, in 1870,
or an increase Of 1873 per cent.-nearly
double that of the former decade. If
we analyze this increase of wealth, we
find that the proportion of growth in
the great manufacturing States OF New
York, Massachusetts. Ohio, and Con-
necticut, is nearly the same, or about
1O3 per cent. In New York the increase
is more than double that of the former
decade, being 1O3 per cent, against 46
per cent. in that period, the growth OF
manufacturing wealth being more than
seven times that of the white popula-
ton, which wac 1901 per cent. Mas.
sachusetts, again, shows an increase OF
wealth of 103 per cent, against 70 per
cent. in the former decade, or nearly
six times that of the population, which
was 10. 10 per cenI. Onio i1i"nS'
less gain over the former decade, being
1O3 against 95 per cent, or about eight
times that of the population. In Con-
necticut the increase is 100 against 70
per cent, or about six times that OF the
population. Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Rhode Island, and Maine offer q
greater increase of manufacturing
wealth than the former States. The in
crease in Pennsylvania is LAO against 80
per cent, or about seven times that Of
the growth of population; in New Jer-
sey 100 against 95 per cent, or not quite
four times its growth Of population in
Rhode Island 100 against 80 per cent,
or not quite eight times its increase
of population; in Maine ITO against 60
per cent.
