sition tn establish a National board of trade.
similar TO the board of trade of Great Britain.
with its headquarters at Washington, is one
well worth considering. Rightly organized

THE Wust Boy

All the old women for blocks up and down
Sixth street called him the ''wust boy,'' and
Jim did much to win the title and keep it.
He fought everything and everybody, har-
assed cats and abused dogs, and various at
tempts have been made during the last year
to get him settled in the Reform School.
The ''wust boy" has made new departure,
and though it may not be lasting, as it is for
| the better, it will probably furnish an oppor
tunity for some other boy to step in and
claim the unenviablc title.
''The wust boy'' cared nothing for the
sight of Grape on the door, and funeral
procession was as good a parade to him.
| Surprise was therefore manifest on every
countenance when he softly knocked at the
door the other week, and said:
81 hahn It got no good clothes to go to the
| funeral, but I'd like to see the old lady's
face agin afore she's covered up in the
ground.''
A motherly old lady in the neighborhood
had passed away. So far as the public knew
he hated her, as he seemed to hate all the
rest, but the public didn't know. II Jim had
condescended to explain he would have said:
swell, yer see, one night when that big
| Tim Skip laid fur me, and had me as good
as mashed, this ERE woman rushed out and
pulled him and slammed him agin the fence
till his elbows ached. Then,agin, she let me
play with the children, and axed me into
dinner, and more'n once she's took up fur
me and said the neighbors didn't give me a
| fair show
They let him in to see her dead face, half
expecting to SEQ some CHASTITY trick on his
part, and never dreaming that he would
lean over and kiss the cold cheek, and that
| tears would come to his eyes.
'Where's the children p he asked as he
turned from the coffin.
| ''Up.stairs, poor things!'
| Sits goin' to be tuff on 'em, isn't it ?"
s'Yes, they will see hard times, poor dar-
lings.''
s'Thar's leetle bit of Teller 'mong 'em
what's named Petc,'' continued the ''wust
boy;'' ''what'l cost to pay his way?"
She woman smiled at the idea, but seeing
how earnest Jim was one of the woman re-
piled:
ooh, about fifty cents, guess"
The boy went out without word, and in
the course of half an hour another lad hand
ed piece of wrapping-paper in which was
inclosed silver quarter. On the paper was
scrawled the words, the work OF three or
four boys J
II hope she's gone to hevv;ns, an Ill talk
car of the little peter fifty sents weak
Hears the fust installment. jim.
The next day he sent in the balance. and
last week the ''installment'' was promptly
forthcoming. Jim has bootblack's kit and
has gone to work, and the old woman who
called him the ''wust boy' now looks aftel
him, and exclaims:
swell, now, but who'd thought that boy
had soul in him ~

A little boy in Sunday school put poser
to his teacher. The lady was telling her
class how God punished the Egyptians by
causing the first-born of each household to
be slain. T little boy listened attentive
ly. At the proper time he mildly inquired
'What would God have done if there had
been twins?''
This office was in a terrible state of con-
fusion on Saturday, and for a time it looked
as if no paper would appear that day. Al
ter two hours search we found the origi-
nal poem received in the morning and eve
rything ran smoothly again. P. SIT is
respectfully declined.
The following startling announcement
was given out by the parish clerk in small
church in Somersetshire, England II gees
notice mex Sunday there wun't be no Sum
day cause the Rector's goin' to t'other par
ish fshin'." By this time the congregation
understood that the clergy man would be Of
ficiating few miles off.
Probably the best way to put stop to
this grave-robbery business would be in ev-
cry case where grave is rifled, to fill the
grave promptly with medical student
Burlington Haaokeye.l There is further
merit in the proposition. The plan, IL faith
fully carried out would tend to greatly di-
minish the number Of graves.
s'Do you make aay reduction to minis
ter?" said young lady in Richmond the
other week to salesm an. "Always. Are
you a minister's wife?'' ooh no, am not
married." said the lady, blushing. "Daugh-
ter then ?" ''No." The tradesman looked
puzzled. 81 am engaged to theological
STUDENT said she. The reduction was
made.
A gentleman in black coat calls to a
friend, and says: ''Come with me while I
change my black cravat for white one for
the ball. You will see how it will change
me.'' The change is made. The friend ex-
amines his friend with attention "That's
so. Before, one would have sent you on an
Grand; now, one would say, waiter, some
| coffee !"
A newly engaged cook comes to her mis-
! tress to ask how to cook each dish ordered
for breakfast. The same game at dinner
time. "How do you make this?" "How lons
ought you to cook that?" Naturally they
send her off on the morrow. Then the cor

A strike of ten thousand cotton spinner
of Oldham, England, commenced last Mon
day ia opposition to reduction proposed b
some Of the mill owners. The strike is nc
general, as in some Of the largest mill
there had been no notice given Of any re
ducton. A redu ton Of seven per cent. i
wages has been announced at the Carnal
vonshire slate quarries in Wales. The me
will probably accept the reduction.

ALL THE WAY.

She prayed: Thy will be done, oh God
(She rocked not what she meant)
sAnd let me follow in the way
My blessed Master went"
And then she slept.
His way! into Gethsemane
The Saviour walked at night;
So found her feet the dark, lone path
That knew no cheer Of light.
Heart-torn she wert.
Her hope died there in bitter grief.
Her sad heart gave one cry;
why hast Thou forsaken me. oh God"
The heavens made no reply
Unto her fears.
His way passed through the gates OF death
Her mourned-for hope likewise.
Divinest blessing sealed her heart
And ope'd anew her eyes.
Hope lived again.
A heavenly peace is in her face:
A sure trust in her heart.
A steadfast Joy lights al! her life,
AMI never will depart Z.
Conquered in pain.

Mr.. Vail, Superintendent of the railway
mail service, who has just resigned his pc.
sition, has made an interesting report Of i'm
provements made during the past year. On
the Both Of June last there were " ,1l9 miles
Of railroad routes, with an annual service of
90, l20, 1896 miles. OF the total, 1880 miles
were supplied with railway postal cars, rum
ming II, 1888 ,310 miles annually. This SER
vice cannot be permanent unless the extra
allowance made to the roads can be contin-
ued, which was done by the iudieious use Of
the fund placed at the disposal Of the Post
master General by Congress. He also rec
omnends increased pay to the postal rail-
way clerks. and provision for the families OF
those who are killed by accidents and sup
port for those injured.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE Dis
EASE AND How 1T MAY BE CURED. 9TH
der the above caption the Springfield Repub-
Hcan gives the following interesting and val
liable information about a disease that is at
times very troublesome in our city: "Diph-
liberia is disease which springs from the
growth of real fungus on some of the mu-
cous surfaces of the system, more generally
of the throat. 1t may be spread by contact
Of the mucous surfaces of diseased with
those Of healthy person, as in kissing, and
is, to limited degree, epidemic. From the
local parts affected it spreads to the whole
body, affecting the muscular and nervous
systems, vitiatlng the lymph and nutrient
fluids and producing paralysis. AS soon as
the bacterium or fungus appears in white
patches on the throat it should no more be
neglected than bleeding cash or broken
arm, and there is almost-as little need of
fatal termination of one incident as of the
other. It has been found by actual expert
ment, both in and out of the human system,
that this bacterium is killed by several drugs,
the safest and most certain of which is chlo-
rine water, diluted with the addition of from
two to four times the volume Of water. This
wash is harmless, even when swallowed, and
is pretty certain to arrest the disease. The
great cyclopedia of Ziemessen on the prac-
tice of medicines, gives the highest place to
this method of treatment. To keep the pa
tent we'll housed and warm, with additional
flannel clothing if necessary, and to keep
the system we'll nourished and the bowels
open, are matters often neglected; but with
care in these respects, and early application
of the remedies above suggested, there is no
need of the disease proceeding to fatal ter
mination, OR even to the facilitating illness
and painful authorizations which 20 together
| in its later stages. As to the origin OF
diphtheria, the weight Of testimony is that
It belongs to the class Of filth diseases, but
further than that its source is not clear.
Families which would be scandalized at the
suggestion of untidiness are attacked, while
others of filthy surroundings escape. This
simply shows that our sense Of cleanliness
| ut0uS CulbiVd1lOus 81 ttldb VIC uldy ulSCl I'LL
nate between what is offensive to the system
and what offensive to our falsely educated
tastes. The farmers wife, to whom the
closed and carefully busted parlor, or the
preternaturally scrubbed floor, are the essen
tials of neatness, many endure the proximi-
ty Of sour swamp or of the kitchen cess
pool for years without taking offense. II
many careful and laborious housekeeper, 8
chance cobweb or the childrens' 'slitter' o
few hours play, will outrank in heinous-
ness defective drain for the cellar or a bad
ly conducted privy."
