/" That Leetle Tim.v

The boy with the basket of apples was
half an hour late yesterday at the Cen
trail Station for the first time in six
months, and when he came in he was
without his basket, and his eyes were
red and swollen. He's been such q
straight, square boy that he has many
friends on this corner, and he was at once
asked if the boot blacks had been cob
bing him.
"No, not that" he said, "but don I
you remember that 'Leetle Tim, who
came here once in while with me ?"
Little Tim Yes-he is your
brother"

ing him in to sell apples and make

Real Fire-PrOOf Buildings.

The Japanese appear to have hit upon
the expedient of providing fire-proof
storehouses for the reception of furniture
and other valuables. As a security
against the vast confagrations which,
during the winter months, are so preva-
lent in Japan, the most perishable and
valuable articles are kept in fire-proof
storehouses known rs "mud godowns. "
These structures are built of mud, or, to
speak more correctly, of clay. A double
framework of bamboo or slight boarding
is run mp, and the intervening space,
about eighteen inches or two feet wide,
is filled in with mud, which is gradually
apcked and allowed to dry by the action
of the atmosphere. Alta great fire which
occurred at Toxic on the 29th of Novem-
Der and ragged for eight hours, destroying
nearly 10000 houses and an immense
amount of property, not one of the |" mud
godowns''-and there were several hun
dreds of them-was injured throughout
the entire area of from five to six miles
in extent laid waste by the confagration.

Thinks He il a Horse.

The other day man about 45 years
old, named Trenton, and living near the
Washington Union School, went home
and informed his wife that he had tuned
into n horse. The news didn't surprise
her bit. She has had to support him
for the last ten years, and long ago hoped
for almost any change. Trenton at once
pulled off his boots, coat and vest,
strapped blanket around him, and q
corner of the kitchen has been his stall
ever since. He paws and neighs like a
horse, and many citizens have called to
see him. Yesterday morning while
crowd was around the "stall " and the
wife was telling them that her husband
was always half-fool or lunatic, he let
both hind feet fly and hit her on the
chin.
"Horse-m or what, I'll have
revenge for that" she exclaimed, aud
she seized him by the hair and kicked
his ribs until he called out
"Wait till this crowd is gone and I'll
show you who runs this stall. Detroit

stupefed with the magnitude OF our mis-
fortunes, and during Henry's (poor
Henry certainly had the hardest part to
bear, for he could not stay quietly at
home) absence had shut myself up in
my room, some one knocked at the door,
and, in answer to my very subdued
"Come in," it was gently opened, and
not Sophy, as l had anticipated, APP
peared, but the familiar, friendly face of
Uncle Jocelyn.
"My poor child !" he exclaimed
"my little Kate !'-and he folded me in
his arms with all the tenderness of n
father. 81 only heard of it this morn
ing" he said, "and started off immel
diately. Cheer up, Kate don't grieve
your old uncle by tears. Things can't
be past mending; and wouldn't be
here if l hadn't come TO help you.
And how he helped us Without
q word of anger or reproach he listened
to Henry's and my story We told it
faithfully, not sparing or attempting to
justify ourselves for our culpable con-
duct and when all was confessed he
simply wrote check for the full amount
of our liabilities. The total was a seri-
ous one, but we were saved not only from
the disgrace but from Henry's dismissal
from partnership which afterward was
the means of our possessing fortune
far beyond what we had ever in our
rosiest imaginings dreamed of.
BY Uncle Jocelyn's advice we sublet
Amberley Villas and retired to more
roomy house in q less expensive and less

perfluities, which had become actually
hateful to me, and We started once more
with small but certain income.
How much happier We were, and how
grateful to Uncle Jocelyn, it would re-
quire far more eloquent pen than mine
to describe. He often came to see us,
and never had cause to regret the gener-
ous help he had so readily extended to us
in our need, for he saw how thoroughly
repentant we were. My mother joined
in the general rejoicing over our re-
gained happiness; and out of gratitude
her old prejudice against Uncle Jocelyn
faded away.
She often goes to Conington now,
where we all meet, a merry party, of
which the generous old man is the we'll
beloved center. He was giving me some
gentle hints as to the training of my
sons the other day. "For it's mothers

it's the lesson she teaches in childhood
that he remembers best"

"I know you are right. / hope amongst
the many things desire to teach them,
one especially mayn't be forgotten-you
know what that is?"
"To fear God," replied Uncle Joce-
lyn. reverently.
"That first of all" answered "but
Imeant something else"
What?" queried Uncle Jocelyn.
Never to buy what they can't afford,
and always to pay ready money. =

Another Ship Canal.

Another international ship-canal
scheme is proposed 1t is to connect
the English Channel with the river
Rhone at Lyons, so that vessels be-
tween India and England, instead of
passing around the Spanish peninsula by
Gibraltar, may go through this canal into
the Mediterranean and thence to India
via the Suez canal The proposition is
that the English and French Govern
ments share the expense between them.
France, however, could well afford to
build it alone, and then impose tonnage
tax on all vessels equally.

he does any other form of punishment,
