How He Didn't Buy a Fiddle.

Sam Davis, of the Chronicle con-
cluded day or two since that fiddle
was absolutely necessary to his future
comfortable existence. There was a
painful pressure of music in his soul
which he thought nothing but fiddle
could extract. He determined to buy a
fiddle, and good one. He found one,
the price of which was $125. He took
the instrument, tuned it up, and pro-
ceeded to play on it. After he had
played about an hour the owner told
him he could have the fiddle for 800.
Sam made no reply, being apparently
so absorbed in his work that he did not
hear. Half an hour passed on and the
keeper of the store said "Mr. Davis, if
you like that violin you can take it along
at $75." Still no reply from Sam, who
was In all the agonies of what seemed an
mprovisation-a fux of the "perilous
stuff" OF which he was trying to rid his
soul. A few customers who were in the
midst of negotiations for goods pres

store, and others who had started to
enter turned and left with panied ex-

hour passed and the storekeeper was
walking the floor with both hands in his
hair. With both eyes closed and a
smile of satisfaction wreathing his lips,
Sam played on. Suddenly stopping in
his walk, the owner of the establish

der and giving him a shake, said: "See
here, Mr.. Davis, if you want that fiddle,
and will go along out with it, you can
have it for S." "For $5l' cried Sam
do you suppose I'd have any old So
fiddle? [ thought all the time there
was something the matter with the
thing!'' and Sam dropped the fiddle in
disgust. "Call it what you will, said
the shop-keeper, "But I can assure you
I would rather give you 800 in gold
coin than again go through what you
have made me suffer in the last two
hours"
Made you suffer! Well, that's

New YOrk's Costly Buildings.

New York can boast of some build
ings, bridges and other things, that cost
very handsome sums. The following are
the most noted examples The new post.
Office, designed by Mullet and built of
Dix island granite, cost about $7,000,-
600. The Brooklyn bridge has cost a
little over SO, 100000 up to date. When
completed the total bill will be about
$14, 100000, according to present esti-
mates. The City Hall, with its marble
front and brown stone back, cost $780,
900 at the beginning of the century,
when labor was cheap and jobbery rare.
Vanderbilt's Grand Central depot cost
$780, 900, but the approach to the
depot, through the Fourth avenue via
duct and tunnels, cost six or seven mil
lions, half paid by the Vanderbilts and
half by the city. The Tribune tall
tower is nine stories high, and cost about
100000 The croton water works have
cost between 1876, 900, 900 and $50, 000,-
900. The house that Mrs. A. 7. Stewart
lives in cost $2,000,000. The custom
house cost $l,800,000. The New York
Life Insurance company's building cost
a round million. The Western Union
Telegraph's building cost $4,000, 600.
The county court house was originally
estimated at $500, 900, but the expense
was between twelve and fourteen mil
ions-nearly six millions of which went
for furniture, and three millions for plas-
tering and painting,

City, Mo. There is a policeman out
there known as Long John. He be-
longs to one of the Oldest and most
respectable families, but he was way

of the estate early in life. Then with
commendable pluck he got on the force,

often as he drew his pay he went to a
certain bank and deposited hatever he
could save. He continued this frugal
way of living until he had saved about
300. Not long ago, when one of the
solid institutions of the Chicago of the
West went down, and the chooses" of
the institution were regretting" in
tears to their penniless depositors, Long
John walked up to the President and
said: "Look here; when I was O wild
boy you used to talk to me about saving
money. You told me to follow your
example. When I run through my part
of the estate you got me on the police
force. You told me to put what money

Now 1 am as poor as when I commenced.
And you have nothing, you say, to pay

The great bankrupt banker placed his
hands on Long Johns shoulders and
spoke to him sadly: "My boy, this is
q great tribulation. L have lost every
thing and | cannot"
Long John took the hand of the banker
from his shoulder and said: "I don't
want any crocodile tears from you. Every
cent I put in your hand I worked for

sooner be dead than lose it. Now, if
you don't pay me that money 1 will

And he placed revolver against the
bankers head.
In ten minutes Long John had his
300 and the great penniless banker was
begging him not to give it away lest
the example might be repeated.

The Fox, the Monkey, and the Pig.


The fox, the monkey, and the pig
we're once inseparable companions. As
they were nearly always together, the
fox's thefts so far reflected upon his
innocent associates, that they were all
three held to be wicked ANIMALS.
At length, the enemies of these three
laid snare, in path they were known
to use.
The first that came to the trap was
the pig. He viewed it with contempt,
and, to show his disdain of his enemies
and his disregard for their snare, he
tried to walk through it with lofty
tread. He found that he had under
valued it, however, when, in spite of
his struggles, he was caught and stran-
gled.
The next that came was the monkey.
He inspected the trap carefully; then,
priding himself upon the skill and dex-
terity of his fingers, he tried to pick il
to pieces. In moment of carelessness,
however, he became entangled, and
soon met the fate of the unfortunate
pig.
The last that came was the fox. He
looked at the snare anxiously, from @
distance, and, approaching cautiously,
soon made himself thoroughly &C
quainted with its size and power. Then
he cried, "Thus do 1 defeat the MACH.
nations of my enemies !"-and, avoiding
the trap altogether, by leaping com,
pletely over it, he went on his way re,
joicing. ST.. Nicholas.

A New Crater in the Moon,

Nature states that DR.. Hermann J.
Klein, of Koln, discovered some time
ago on the moons surface great black
crater on the Mare Vaporum, and little
to the northwest of the well known
crater Hyginus. He describes the crater
as being about three miles in diameter,
being deep and full of shadow, and as
forming q conspicuous object on the
dark gray Mare Vaporum. The appear
ance of this crater is new. Further ex-
aminations show it to be either without
a wall or with very low one, with q
deep conical depression in the surface.
Shortly after sunrise the crater takes the
appearance of dark gray spot with an
ill-defned edge. The English observa-
tons of the new crater have been in
accord with those of DIR. Klein. If the
existence of this new crater be confirmed,
it will form the strongest possible evil
dence of real change on the surface Of
the moon-a change, moreover, of vol
canic nature.

Limited InteIIlrence Of Insects.

The general tendency of Sir John
Lubbock's investigations and expert.

exalted estimate of chronological in

results, than had been supposed and
the ants, though cleverer than the bees,
and capable of a higher degree of organ
ization than seems to exist in any extra
human society, are, nevertheless, stupid,
bewildered and helpless in any circum-
stances for which their instinct or habits
have not provided. 1t is, we know, tie

slaves, and upon these slaves some are

the ant exactly what the COW is to man,

remembers the service rendered by the
aphides in spring. Powers of commu-
nication are necessarily implied in organ
ization so complete as that of an ant-hill.
There must be means of conveying
orders to the insect armies on their
march, whether they pause to build a

The PhOneidOscOpe.

The marvellous rapidity which the

the memorabilia of science. Reference

these vibrations visible by the use Of a
film of soap solution, and the expert
ments can be effectively made by means
of a recently constructed instrument
known as the phoneidoscope. This in
strument consists of q cylindrical L.
shaped brass tube, the horizontal limb
of which has a caoutchouc tube ending
in q wooden monthpiece, while the open
end of the vertical limb is surrounded
by brass ring, that carries blackened
brass disk pierced with an aperture Of
variable shape and size. This aperture
is covered with the film of soap solu.

to show the wondrously beautiful colori
familiar to every one in a soap bubble.
On singing near the mouthpiece, the ali
in the tube is thrown into vibration, anC
the soap film at once takes up the mo
ton, which results in the production o
many lovely color designs, often an

A Noble Dane.

It was during the wars that ragged
from 1862 to 1860, between Frederick
III. of Denmark and Charles Gustavus
of Sweden, that after battle, in which
the victory had remained with the Danes,
a stout burgher of Flensborg was about
to refresh himself, before retiring to have
his wounds dressed, with draught from
a wooden bottle, when an imploring cry
from wounded Swede, lying on the
field, made him turn round, and saying,
"Thy need is greater than mine, I" he
kneeled down by the fallen enemy to
pour the water into his mouth. His re
quital was pistol-shot in the shoulder
from the treacherous Swede. "Rascal, -
he cried, 81 would have befriepded you,
and you would murder me in return.
Now will I punish you. I meant to
have given you the whole bottle, but
now you shall only have half" And
drinking off half himself, he gave the
rest to the Swede.
The king, hearing the story, sent for
the burgher, and asked him how he came
to spare the life of such rascal.
"Sire, said the honest burgher, "1
could never kill wounded enemy"
"Thou deservest to be noble" the
king said, anG created him one imme
diately, giving him for armorial bearings
a wooden bottle pierced with an arrow.

The Wren's Trick.

While the good little hen is sitting on
her eggs, the cock pretends to be en-
ployed in building nest for her, so that
nobody should know he has in reality
long ago completed his work, and that
she is busy now on hers. He makes as
many as half dozen nests near where
his own nest is, but in conspicuous
places, while the actual nest is hid away
as safely as possible. And the clever
wren, though he makes the nest, does
not take the trouble to line it with
feathers, because he knows no eggs will
ever be placed in it, and therefore the
smooth, soft lining will not be required.
1t is just as if we built the bare walls of
house In which we never put any furni-
ture, because while we build them we
know quite well nobody will ever live
inside them.
