Most Righteous Justice.

JUSTICE BoYDEN had a pretty hard case
to settle yesterday, but he did it in an
eminently satisfactory manner. A young
fellow, Daniel Sullivan by name, appeared
before the South Side Police Court
charged with the larceny of a lap-blanket.
To the surprise of everybody he pleaded
guilty. The Judge was astonisiied, and
by dint of few leading questions found
that the prisoner, who claimed that he
had never stolen before in his life, had
taken the blanket with view of raising
upon it enough money to purchase
meal. The man, as he stood in the court,
had not eaten since eleven O'Clock Sun
day morning two days before)! His
story was that he had worked all summer
on the Chicago g. Pacific Railroad, but,
breaking an arm, he was thrown out Of
employment and into a hospital, from
which he emerged last December
The money he had saved during
the summer lasted him until re-
Gently, but there came an end to it at
last, and the young man, with an arm
that was recently healed, was forced to
hard work as a means of subsistence. By
dint of " turning in" ton of coal here
and there he managed to scrape ahead,
but lack of work left him on Sunday
last with only enough money to invest in
a most frugal meal. Since then he had
not been able to get any work, and had
consequently been obliged to go without
anything to eat The alternative :" steal
or starve'' was left him, and the first law
of nature prompted him to steal. Justice
Boyden heard the case through, and SEN
fenced the prisoner, who expressed hor-
rOr of the Bridewell, as follows: Give
him loaf of bread and discharge him."
About two minutes later the discharged
prisoner left the Armory, taking such
bites from loaf of bread as only man
could take who had eaten nothing for
forty eight hours-Chicago Is'tb une

A Practical Joke.

A Detroit paper tells the story of a
Young lady who had brother and par
rot and wanted to play joke on the for
mer. Downing her brothers. silk hat,
she kept repeating the words, "Oh, what
a swell!" until plug hat was to call forth
that remark from Polly, the parrot. This
accomplished, the cage containing the
bird was carried down to the parlor one
evening while the brother was preparing
to go out, and hung at a front window.
Soon the well-dressed youth emerged
from the front door, arrayed in his other
suit of clothes, and no sooner had he
reached the sidewalk than the parrots
too distinct voice shouted out, ooh, what
a swell!'' and as he turned and beckoned
with his cane for the bird to come out and
fight, peal of laughter from the mis-
chievous sister fairly drowned the words
of the bird. The brother passed around
the corner out of sight, and the sister ran
into the back parlor to tell her parents
what a capital joke she had played on
Will. While she was laughing at the re-
membrance of his flushed face as the OBJ
noxious words first fell upon his ear she
heard a familiar footstep on the walk out
side, at which she blushed and started to
run to the door to admit the newcomer.
At that instant Polly shouted, "Oh, what
SWELL" and followed up the remark
with diabolical peal of laughter. For
moment the practical joker was para
lyzed. Then, rushing to throw open the
door to explain matters, she saw famiF
lar form walking hastily, determinedly
away, nor did he stop at her supplicating
call 1t took week to set things right
again, but a new diamond ring now en-
circles one of the lady's dainty fingers,
and she has foresworn practical jokes.
Polly, however, is keptin the family, but
her mission is to serve rs a reminder to
her mistress by occasionally remarking
to a plug hat, "Oh, what swell?'

A MiShap.

WE have gravel roof on our house,
and the other day some workmen were
up there fixing it. They had block an d
tackle rugged on the edge of the roof,
with a rope reaching to the ground, for
the purpose of hosting the tar and gravel.
Our girl went out washing the yard at the
time, and somehow the hook on the end
of the rope caught in her hoopskiit as
she walked past it. The man on the roof
the tax on rum, or something at that mo-
ment, and seeing the rope shake he con-
sidered it was the signal to haul up, so
without looking over the edge he began
to wind the crank with velocity A mo-
ment later the next-door neighbors heard
fearful screams, and as they rushed to the
windows they perceived an athletic exile
ofErin swiftly ascending toward the blue,
ethereal heaven.
The man at the crank fairly ached to
look over and see what the noise was
about, but he couldn't stop, he thought,
until he got the bucket at the top. But
he put on more vehemence, and in a mo-
ment he was amazed to see human head
adorned with red hair, looming above the
gutter spout. His first impulse was
to let go the crank and run. But over
coming the earlier shock of fright he
held on to the crank with one hand, while
with the other he seized handful OF
warm red hair and hauled the owner upon
the roof.
We live in one of row of houses which
are all Joined together, and they do say
that the impetuosity with which that girl
of ours charged upon the man who mussed
her hair, and chased him over the roofs
clear up to the corner, where he saved
himself by crawling down the chimney
flue, was at once impressive and exhila-
rating. She stood over that chimney ex-
pressing her views concerning the mans
present character and future prospects
until she was exhausted, when she walked
home to our roof, lifted the trap-door,
descended-and went to bed. And when
the man emerged and brushed the SCOT off
him he confided to his colleague, while
distributing the gravel, that he would
rather dive at once into the bowels of a
burning volcano than to meet that hired
girl again in place where there was on
chance to run.-Mar Adeler.

ing, "Please let me go see after de leetle

Uncle Harry only frowned and said,

By-and-by the cries ceased, and Uncle
Harry became absorbed in his book for
some time, forgetting all about Dent:e;
but he was gone so lOng-he usually
bobbed round every few minutes-that at
last his uncle die think of him, and with
uneasiness, too He went in search OF
him. When he opened the barn-door

rope dangling from very high beam
told the story that Dentie must have had

"Boo-Hoo-HOO-I tumbled down; I'm
most killedl" said Dentie Barlow, limp
ing up to his uncle, who sat on the front
porch reading apparently not hearing, at
least not needing, the great cutlery.
"Well, you got up again, didn't you, all
right and alone, too; that was better than
to have help"
II tumbled twice, did; couldn't get
up alone, but no one came when L
screamed myself most to DEATH" said
Dentie, digging his fists into his eyes and
making mortar of the dust and tears on
his cheeks.
"Oh, it was the screaming that most
killed you then, not the falls, was it?
should have thought you would have
burst, you made such a noise" Uncle
Harry said teasingly.
"Yes, you heard all the time, l know
you did, and you didn't care bit. l
stubbed my toe and scratched my knee.
Oh dear! oh dear! Bco-hoo-hoo."

you know you promised you would not
cry if you did get hurt when you took
off your shoes and stockings. You see
you have made very great fuss about a
very small thing, and
"Oh, l see rabbit there behind that
lilac, now under the SNOWFALL. Hi, l
must catch him."
Off Dentie sprang, forgetting all MS
troubles, sore toes, scratched knees, etc,
as quick sunshine breaks through a
cloud. His papa and mamma were dead.
He had been spoiled by being waited
upon too much. He lived with his Uncle
Harry. That gentleman saw it would not
do to let things go on so; he set about
trying to correct the fault. Dentie many
times would cry out in the most terrified
manner that he was falling or had fallen
and wa readfully hurt, when he was not
at all, making the servants run hither and
thither in great alarm looking for him,
but he was usually safely hid. His uncle
saw Dentie did it only TO deceive, and he
forbade the servants paying any attention

"A connoisseur of coffee thus writes
of this beverage and its preparation:
There are three cOmponents in coffee
caffein, fannie acid, and wood; the first
is healthful stimulanr, the second is very
injurious to the stomach, causing head
ache and deranging the system generally;
hence the reason why many are obliged
to abstain from the use of coffee. The
only perfect apparatus which have seen
for preparing coffee is an urn which has
two inside cylinders, both having a
strainer attached to the bottom, the larger
occupying about one-half of the inside OF
the main urn, while the smaller fits inside
the former, but not SO deep. The coffee
or tea is placed in the larger cylinder, and
boiling water is poured into the small
cylinder, which passes through the
strainer upon the coffee, not in volume,
but in fine spray, and then through the
coffee and the lower cylinder, taking with
it all the catfein and leaving the tannin in
the grounds. The coffee falls into the
main urn perfectly clear, and forms
most delightful beverage. Some time
ago, while dining with a celebrated
French physician IN Paris, we were taking
coffee, when he said to me: "Do not the
people of America generally boil cotfee?"
| replied in the affirmative. He then
said: "If coffee is boiled it should not be
drank, as the best part passes off into the
atmosphere and tickles the nostrils, while
the remainder contains the poison, which
is very injurious to the stomach"

THE FLOWER OF LOVE LIES
BLEEDING.


BY RICHARD HENRY sroDDARD-
MET little maid one day.
All in the bright May weather,
She danced, and brushed the dew away
As lightly as a feather
She had ballad in her hand
That she had Just been reading,
But was too young to understand
That ditty OF distant land
The flower of love lies bleeding
She tripped across the meadow grass
To where a brook was flowing,
Across the brook like wind did pass,
Wherever flowers were growing.
Like some bewildcred child she flew,
Whom fairies Were misleading:
Whose butterfly" said, ." are yous
And what sweet thing do you pur-ue.''-
The flower Of love lies bleeding,'
4" Eve found the wild rose in the hedge.
I've found the tiger-iily-
The blue nag by the waters edge
The dancing daffodilly--
King -cups and pan-ie--every Hover
Except the one I'm needing;
Perhaps IL grows in some dark bower
And opens at a later hour
This flower Of love lies bleeding
- wouldn't look for it, sad,
e For you can do without IL;
There's no such flower" She shook her head
- But have read about iI,'
talked to her Of bee and bird
But she was all unheeding;
Her tender heart was strangely stirred,
She harpcd ON that unhappy word
The flower of love lies bleeding,"
my child sighed. and dropped tear,
would NO longer mind it:
You'll find it some day never fear,
For all Of us must find II I,
! found 1t many year ago.
With one Of gentle breeding.
You and the little lad you know,
see why you are weeping 30
Your flower of love lies bieedingr'
