The Split BRAN.-A Fable.-One
morning, as farmer was feeding hi
horses, he noticed that in their haste
to get their fill of the fresh bran, the,
had split much of it upon the ground.
$50 much lost" he murmured to
himself.
But no; the fowls approached and
soon made pretty clean work of it. AT.
ter them, several pigeons alighted nea,
the feeding trough, and found sufficient
to occupy them several minutes. Then
the sparrows took their turn.
"Now," thought the farmer, "sure.
ly it must be all gone"
But upon looking closer, he observ-
ed large number of thrifty little ants
Juggling away the fragments which had
escaped the sparrows. And the farm
er thought to himself:
This teaches me to waste nothing,
not even the smallest thing. "-Hearti

AN AGED PARROT. Philadel-
pnia, at least, where there is still re-
spect for age, the tidings will be receiv-
ed with respectful regret of the death OF
Mono, noted pensionary of the Jardin
DIES Plantes in Paris; at the ripe age OF
more than hundred years. TO have
achieved the celebrity of being the old
est inmate of that institution was no
despicable distinction, but the venera-
BILE centarian had other claims to honor.
A native of Marquesas Islands. he was
brought by Bougainville in l776 to the
Royal Museum, afterward known at
Jardin des Plantes. 1t has been fire.
quently alleged that parrots may live a
hundred years. Mono has established
the fact by living still longer. AS thus
he contributes an Illustration to science,
SO surely he might point a general NOR
al and adorn historic tale IfThack-
cray could discourse so sweetly on
"Somc Carp at Sans Souci,'' the vi
cissitudes which this veteran Partisan
witnessed in the French capital from
1776 to 1878, under two empires, two
royal dynasties and three republics,
might be worth arhapsody. Mono seems
to have been well-preserved old parrot.
Magnificent in youth, he attained liter
ally green old age, for his plumage
was still fresh and thick. Very natur-
ally, he had lost his houppe, and was
almost totally bald However, his eye
was clear and bright enough to have
read the finest print or followed the
finest needlework and it had the mar
quois, lightly skeptical look of those
who had seen great deal of life. In
short, Mono was stylish and eminent
ly respectable old bird. That worthy
person, Monsieur Chavreul, who treats
the animals of the Jardin like father,
has stuffed and mounted the illustrious
Mono as a testimonial of affection and
respect.-Lippincott's Magazine.

WIT AND HUMOR.

Truth crushed to the earth will rise
again, but it amt so with eggs.-Josh.
T" live by my pen," said poet,
wishing to impress young lady. "You
look as if you lived in one,' was the
reply.
Said an eminent person, whose gift
of money making seemed to his neigh,
bors to quite outstrip his gifts of money,
True, don't give much, but if you
only knew how it hurts when l give
any you would not wonder"
One of the little pleasantries of the
goods at the Dublin Opera House
consists in throwing on to the stage
bouquet to which piece of Irvine is
attached. When the prima donna
goes to pick up the nosegay, it is sud-
denly drawn up again, amidst the roar
of the ''deties."
A compassionate lady passing child
crying in the street, stopped and asked
him what was the matter. The child
replied: "Cos I've lost a penny moth
er gave me-" "Ah, we'll never mind"
said the lady, "here is another for you"
and proceeded on her way; but had
not gone far when she heard the little
fellow believing more lustil y than be-
fore. She turned back and again ask
ed the cause, upon which the little ur-
chin answered: Why, if l 'adn't
lost the first one l should ave 'ad two
pence"
There is dentist in Harrisburg who
has a daughter who is loved by young
man, but he is bashful, and don't like
to go to the house to see her unless he
has an excuse. So every Tuesday and
Friday he calls and gets the old man
to pull tooth for him, and then he
goes into the back parlor and sparks the
girl under the pretense of trying to
find his hat. He has only six teeth left
now, and what worries him is to know
what he is going to do when they are
all out and his new set is made and put
in. He is all the more anxious about
it because the fair maid doesn't seem
as if she was going to respond to heart
felt signs, and there is room for sus-
picion that she has been playing the
coquette so as to rope in a good custom
er for her fond parent. The young
mans confidential friends state that he
has intimated his intention either to
have that girl or to jerk the whole
skeleton cut of her father.

Improvements in Machinery.

In this age of invention we are prepared to be-
lieve almost anything There is scarcely any
| kind of machinery so good that it is not capable
of improvement, and new patents are constantly
granted on various improvements of old Ones
The Sewing Machine has been in use for so long
time that it is now deemed necessity in every
family. There are several good machines in the
market, but some of them are complicated and
so liable to get out of order that ordinary families
cannot use them. A man by the name of Jerome
B. Secor has obtained four new patents on i'm
provements in the Lock-stitch Sewing Machine.
He has been at work on this for great many
years, and it is now claimed that he has produced
one of the most perfect pieces of machinery ever
manufactured. The SEcoR Sewing Machine runs
very lightly, and does its work in the most salts
factory manner. Every part of the machine is
made so exactly, and is so highly finished, that
it will run for long time without any need of re-
pairs. Parties who wish to buy Sewing Machine
or act agents, ought to see this and examine it
carefully, and then they can judge of the truth of
the above statements. The general agency for
the Pacific coast is at Is New Montgomery ST.,
San Francisco. The agents are reliable men,
and an interview will convince any one Of the
Substantial character Of the whole concern.

THE Moon DEAD WORLD
Among the illusions swept away by
modern science was the pleasant fancy
that the moon was a habitable globe,
like the earth. its surface diversified
with seas, lakes, continents, and islands,
and varied forms of vegetation. Theo-
logians and sdvants gravely discussed
the probabilities of its being inhabited
by race of sentient beings, with
forms and faculties like our own, and
even propounded schemes for opening
communication with them, in case they
existed. One of these was to construct
on the broad highlands of Asia a series
of geometrical figures, on scale so gi-
gantic as to be visible from our plane
tary neighbor, on the supposition that
the moon people would recognize the
object, and Immediately construct SINH
lar figures in reply! Extravagant and
absurd as it may appear in the light of
modern science nothing but the great ex-
pense, stood in the way of actual ex-
pertinent; but the discussion was kept
up at intervals, until it was discovered
that if there were people in the moon
they must be able tolive without breath
ing, or eating, or drinking. Then it
ceased
There can be no life without air.
Beautiful to the eye of the distant OBJ
server, the moon is sepulchral orb
a world of death and silence. No vege-
tation clothes its vast plains of stony
desolation, traversed by monstrous crew
ices, broken by enormous peaks that
rise like gigantic tombstones into space
no lovely forms of cloud float in the
blackness of its sky. There daytime is
only night lighted by rayless sun.
There is no rosy dawn in the morning,
no twilight in the evening. The nights
are pitch-dark. In daytime the solar
beams are lost against the jagged ridges,
the sharp points of the rocks, or the
steep sides of profound abysses; and
the eye sees only grotesque shapes re-
lieved against fantastic shadows black
as ink, with none of that pleasant gra-
dation and diffusion of light, none of
the subtle blending of light and shad-
ow, which make the charm of terres-
trial landscape. There is no color,
nothing but dead white and black.
The rocks reflect passively the light of
the sun; the craters and abysses re-
main wrapped in shade fantastic peaks
riselike phantoms in their glacial ceme-
terry the stars appear like spots in the
blackness of space. The moon is a
dead world: she has no atmosphere.

That it IL just as natral tew be born

lent.
That one ov the riskyest things tew

That will tri hard tew be honest,
but it will be just mi darn LUX tew miss

That when here man Dragging on

That won't beleave in emmy ghost

That won't bet on nothing, for
things that require betting on lax sum-
thing.
That will brag on my wife all the
time, but will do it silently.
That won't be surprised at emmy
thing, not even to be told that Ben
Franklin was a spendthrift, or that
Lazarus died ritch.
That will dispize most things that

That won't banker for happiness,

The Congressional Back
pay Steal

WASHINGTON, March 81
The Sergant-at-arms of the
Honse declines to allow a list
to be made Of the Congressman
who have not, up to the pres
ent time, applied for their ex-
ira pay. He says that many
members left with him vouch-
ers signed in blank, for the pur-
pose of having the money sent
to them, but, since getting a.
mong their constituents, have
written back that they do not
intend to draw the money. In
view of this fact, Mr.. Ordway
does not intend to forward any
more drafts unless instructed to
do so by the members interest
ed. Under these circumstances
he thinks it would not only be
unfair, but unjust to the MEM
bers to publish the names of
all who have not drawn the
money, as a large portion of
the members will undoubtedly
do so. Up to the present time
only about three-fifths of the
members have drawn their ex-
ira pay.

No Imprisonment for
Life.

When it is proposed to sub
stitute Imprisonment for life,
for death as the penalty of MUIR
der, it should be distinctly un-
derstood that practically there
is no such thing as imprison-
ment for life in this country
The Nation says: "We have
before us medical report made
in 1868 on the Auburn State
Prison, which has for fifty years
been one Of the glories of New
York. Between 1918 and 1868
214 persons were committed to
that prison under life sentences.
Of these, 81 died from natural
causes, 8 went mad; 2 commit
ted suicide, l escaped; and 10
were transferred toother prisons,
leaving 159; twenty-five remain
ed in the prison at the date of
the report, and 134 were pardon
ed. Perhaps, however, they
were pardoned after long years
of suffering, and were discharg-
ed when age or confinement had
made them harmless? Nothing
of the, kind; their average period
of servitude was six years and
six months. In other words,
when a man is sent to Jail for
life in this State, he has over six
ty-three chances in one hundred
of liberation inside seven years.
This experience is very much
that of all the States. In Mas
sachusetts, so per cent. of the
life prisoners are pardoned; in
Pennsylvania, 134 Of the whole
number imprisoned for all pc
riods; in Ohio, 40 per cent. of
the life prisoners; IN Wiscon-
sin, 33 per cent. In short, we
repeat that Imprisonment for
life is, to all intents and pur-
poses, an unknown punish
ment in this country, and the
machinery for inficting it does
not as yet exist. "-NeaU York
Observer.

Temperance in the West.

The temperance people of IL
linois are making strenuous eff
forts to secure the repeal of the
license provision in the temper
ance law. The Temperance
Bureau has issued circular, in
which, after combating it on
moral grounds, they come at
the Legislature with figures, as
follows:
The revenue derived is one
argument advanced in favor of
granting licenses. How stands
the account? The municipal
authorities of Chicago have re-
ceived for the current year for
licenses, about $129,000; for
fines for violations Of liquor Or
dinances, about $1,000; total
$132,000. On the other side,
at least one-half Of the expen-
ses of five hundred police is
caused by the saloons, $2S0,0OO;
one-half Of the annual expen-
ses of the Criminal Court, a.
bout $4,000; one-half of the
annual expenses of feeding and
caring for prisoners, about $5,-
600; one-half Of the pauper and
insane expenses, $4,000. One
half of these expenses are di-
rectly chargable to the sale of
intoxicating liquors, and we
have a grand total of $4,000.
Deducting the amount received
from licenses and we have a bal
ance Of $27S,000 against the IL
cense system. In the name of
the taxpayers Of Chicago, we
protest against a revenue which
costs the people nearly So for
every one received.
If we should take into ac-
count the value of labOrers'
earnings spent in these saloons
in Chicago annually, from $l2,-
100000 to $15,O0O,0O0, we have
an appalling balance against
the license system. 1t might
also be borne in mind that the
sales of liquor in the State of
Illinois equal in amount the val
ue of capital stock of all the
railroads in the State; that eve
ry year $140,O00,OOO Of capital
is drank up, and the vacuum
thus created supplied by for
eign capital.
