Pullman Catches a Pickerel.

Mr.. Pullman, of Hatboro, doesn't
feel as much interest in the study of
natural history as he used to. He has
a fine aquarium, and on Wednesday he
thought he would spend half an hour
studying the movements of the fish and
other animals in it. He was particu-
larly interested in the capers of large
pickerel, and he thought he would peep
over the edge of the tank and see how
the fish looked through the water. The
nose of Mr.. Pullman is long and red /;
and as it projected over the water it
naturally attracted the attention of the
pickerel. The fish darted toward it,
snapped at it, and the next moment
Mr.. Pullman was running up stairs
with a three-pound pickerel hanging to
his nose. When they knocked it loose
(the fish, not the nose), the nose began
TO swell, and it is now as large es a
good-sized Bartlett pear. 1t will make
a splendid nose for bait, but although
Mr.. Pullman is exceedingly fond of fish
he will probably not use it continually
for that purpose. He has soured on
piscatorial sport.-MGT Adeler.

German Emigration.

One OF the most important questions
before the German Government to-day
is the question of emigration. The
number of Germans who have forsaken
the fatherland within the last few years
has reached unprecedented figures.
While from 1882 to 1889 the average
number of German emigrants was only
$4,000, and from 1865 to 1869, 107,670,
the number in 1872 rose to 215, 900, and
the number for the first half of the year
just past is greater than that for the
corresponding half of the preceding
year. A great dearth of agricultural
and other laborers has been the conse-
quence; and the Government has
awakened to the importance of putting
an end to the wholesale exodus, and the
resulting loss to the country of both la
Dor and capital
1t has been calculated that Germany
loses on an average $3.50 in money with
every emigrant. The amount of money
brought to this country in 1856 by Ger
man emlgrants was estimated at S15,-
0C0, 600; and the total loss to Germany
since 1919, 1875, 900, 900, by far the
greater portion of which left the coun-
try after 1882, the date at which emil
grafton assumed any remarkable di-
mansions. During the last two years
alone it has lost probably S64, 100000
in money by emigration. This is, how
ever, only part of her loss. Her loss in
labor is also to be taken into account.
and, in estimating it, it must be borne
in mind that it is the strongest and
most enterprising of her laborers that

Clean Teeth.

If you will only keep your teeth clean
they won't decay. The wonderful dem
tri6ces which are sold at fabulous prices
are greatly inferior to simple mixture
of soap and prepared chalk, with little
something like orris root; but the es-
sential articles are soap and chalk. The
druggist will prepare you enough for a
quarter of dollar to last long time.
When you go to bed, with broad, soft
toothbrush go through the mouth thor
oughly. If disposed to bad mouth,
you may repeat the dose in the morn
ing. But the principal article for keep
ing the teeth clean is toothpick, soft.

eating, no matter though it is piece of
apple, and if convenient, after the pick
use mouthful of water to rinse from
the teeth what the toothpick may have
left.-DiO LeaUis.

The &amese Twins.

DR.. Louis A. Sayre, Professor of
Orthopedic Surgery in Bellevue Hos
pital, New York City, who is a most dis
tinguished surgeon in his specially
the deformity of the human body-is
thoroughly convinced that the twins
might have been separated in life with
perfect safety by a simple process well
known in the profession and frequently
practiced, most often in cutting horses
tails off. This process is to run silver
wire or q piece of silk through the GEN.
ter of the band. By tying the ends to-
gether and making structure around
the part of the band encircled, the
tight impression would cause the wire
to gradually cut through the band, the
flesh sloughing away until the whole
structure was cut into two. The sever
ance in this way would have been SO
gradual that the shock to the system and
the dangerof peritonitis would have been
avoided.
The arterial circulating between the
two WAS so slight that when one twin
was chafed by the Doctor at Apollo Hall,
New York, in 1S43, though his pulse in
creased greatly in rapidity, that of the
other was perfectly regular. The Doctor
was then convinced that his theory could
have been carried out in practice. The
Professor, then young doctor, actual
ly proposed to attempt it but the twins
preferred to continue their profitable
partnership. He returned to New York
at midnight.

Eastern vs.. Western Colleges.

Harvard College has 40 rooms to
rent to students. One-third of the num-
Der rent from 5000 to $500 apiece per
annum. We know Western colleges on
which the highest rent is $50 per an
num-about one-third the lowest rent
at Harvard (which is $40, and only
eight rooms can be had for that price.
If other expenses are on this scale, no
wonder there is a movement of young
men from New England toward some of
our Western colleges, for economy's
sake, as there is of Yankee young wo-
men in the same direction for the sake
of as good an education as Eastern col
leges offer exclusively to young men,

Brilliant Success.

1t is permitted to few men or COM
panies to achieve acknowledged superb
ority in any important position or bust
ness. The present generation has wit
messed stupendous rivalry in several
branches of industry, and notably the
Sewing Machine business. Amid a
multitude of competitors, steadily and
surely the Wheeler & Wilson Company
held their way from the beginning, upon
fixed and honorable principles. Long
since, their leading position in America
was established. Abroad, at London,
in 1862. they won the highest premi-
uros at Paris, in 1867, they distanced
eighty-two competitors, and were award

The return to Paris of NJ. Emile

fckleness of popular feeling. A little
over three years ago NJ. Olivier was ex-

his inaugural address at the French

and what is written above in relation to
the figure is from personal observation,
and from remarks made by Springfield
people who knew him well. They all say
the likeness in face and figure is perfect,
and that profile view is absolutely life
like. 1t is probable that this statue will
be the standard from which others may
be taken, and il is considered in this
sense very fortunate that it is so correct.
The members of the association are to
be congratulated on their success in OBJ
tanning so satisfactory work of art, not
less than Meade, whose professional
reputation must be greatly enhanced by
it. 1t is not improper to say that the
association is composed of the old and
intimate friends of Lincoln, who entered
upon and conducted the enterprise wholly
as a labor of love. No officer or men,
Der of the association has ever drawn
any salary, pay, or perquisite.

tai of the statue is slightly raised from
the standard copy. The eagle stands
upon the shield partially observing the
stars, the olive branch has fallen from
his grasp and lies under the shield, and
broken chain is held half in his
talons and half in his beak. The
departure from the standard design
was made to enable the artist TO symbol
ize the fact that the olive branch having
been rendered to and refused by the reb
els was cast to the ground, that part OF
the stars or States were temporarily OBJ
scured by the rebellion, and that in the
struggle which ensued the chain of slav
cry was broken. AS a work of art this
seems in design, composition, and execu
tion to be perfect. The statue is NO
doubt perfect likeness, but this coat-of
arms is original in conception and beau
tiful in execution; the first is an un
doubted portrait, but this is production
the design of which is most original
striking apparent and comprehensive.

Mr.. Kings Watch.

JUSTICE SHERWOOD, at the Yorkville
Police Court, had recently disposed of
some twenty cases of vagrancy, drunk
enness, disorderly conduct, and assault
and battery, and was in hopes that his
mornings work was over; but the good
Justice was disappointed. AS he was
taking Ions breath of relief two very
gentlemanly looking strangers were
brought before him.
"What is the charge against these
meu?" said His Honor, after having
learned that the personages arraigned
were William H. Williams and Charles
B. King.
"They were arrested by an officer in
the park, your Honor, while intoxicated
and driving recklessly," replied the Off
GER.
What have you to say, Mr.. Williams?"
His Honor asked.
Nothing, your Honor" was Mr.. Will
Jams reply.
"You are fined ten dollars, Mr. Will
iams,' said Justice Sherwood, and the
fine was paid.
Then turning to Mr.. King" Have
you anything to say, sir!" asked the JUS
tice.
Mr. King, who had represented himself
as lawyer doing business in Troy, had
but little to say.
"Ten dollars" said His Honor, biting
the handle of his pen.

you'll allow me to find Mr.. William NJ.

teeth chartered, and he was to all appear
ances a miserable man.

he said, tremblingly, " but here is my
watch, which is worth five times as much.
VIII you let me leave it with you until
can see one of my brothers in the law
and borrow the amount of the fine?"
After short consultation with MIR.
Rockwell, Clerk of the Court, the JUS
tice consented to receive the collateral,
and Mr.. King departed.
On Wednesday last, several days after
the disappearance of Mr. King and his
fellow Jehu, Justice Sherwood was re-
minded that the watch had not been re-
deemed by the Trojan limb of the law.
Never mind, Judge" said Mr.. Rock
well, one of the most accommodating
court-clerks in the land, "never mind,
let me have the watch and I'll pay the
! $40"
Wouldn't it be WELL" said Justice
Sherwood, "to find out what the watch
| is worth?"
So saying, he handed the timepiece to
an officer, with directions to have it's
value estimated at the nearest jewelers..
In few minutes the officer returned
with the watch in his hand, and on his
face smile like a tidal wave
Well?" said the Justice.
"Its worth about eighty-five cents,

The court then adjourned.-N. Y.

A Miraculous Preservation.

A CORRESPONDENT of the London Times,
writing from Copenhagen, says; "a
Norwegian paper is relating a tale of an
almost miraculous preservation. The
Captain of the schooner Amazon, of
Stavanger, recently arrived at Bergen
with cargo of sat, reports that in pass
ing the British Channel he had the oppor-
tunity of saving British lad of fifteen
under very peculiar circumstances. The
Amazon was about twelve geographical
miles from the British shore when the
Captain thought he observed through
his telescope something floating on the
water. He altered his course so as to
get nearer. and soon discovered that il
was a small boat, in which lad was ly-
ing fast asleep. The shouting from the
schooner did not awaken him, but when
a small log was thrown over into the boat
he awoke with a sudden start; an end Of
line was thrown to him, and he was
ust able to fasten il when he swooned,
and had to be carried on board the vessel.
In the boat nothing was found but a
pair of oars and Bible. The lad,
when brought back to life and strength
by the tender care shown TO him,
gave the following account of his
fate: He was sitting on the shore,
reading his Bible, when some of
his companions came down to him and
teased him with the manner in which he
spent his leisure time. To escape from
their banter he got into boat, and kept
on reading, when suddenly he discovered,
to his great dismay, that his prosecutors
had cut the line and left his frail boat to
the power of the quick-running ebb. He
tried to use the oars, but struggled in
vain against wind and water, and, as a
dense fog set in, he soon lost sight of
land. After several hours of alternate
struggle and powerless despair he fell
asleep, and sleep remained in fact his
only comfort against hunger, cold, and
the deep pangs of his isolation during
the three days and two nights which he
had spent in his frail boat when he was
at last seen and saved. Unhappily,
neither the name of the lad nor of the
place where his parents live is given, but
that will, suppose, not be difficult to get
at when the fact obtains your wide pub
licity. The name of the Captain of the
Amazon is Thomson
