down this girl Burke, big, heavy woman.

about the centre-piece and dropped down
to the ladder and 50 to the ground. Ii was
getting pretty hot and smoky, but did my
best. Then we moved to another window
and got two women and a man out the
same way. Not living soul was then to
be seen. We saved everybody that showed
their face, and so we got round to Elm

Mr.. Lindsay called my attention 10 a man
hanging in a wlndow-Mr. Kennedy we
found out it was. l went up, but we
couldn't get the bladder into the window and
l threw him the slack of my rope. 'I'll
jump" sad he. mo, damn it, don't

slack and twisted round or two about the

would have chance for his life. ran

never will again, though it did that time.

The Fangs of n RattIesnake

A physician some days ago come into
possession Of a rattiesnake, the head of
which he proceeded to dissect for his own
amusement and information. Taking one
side Of its head he extracted the fang,
when lying close by this and grown up
next to it, he found another fang, little
shorter than the first, ready to take its
place when the long one should be broken
of or fall out. Next to the second fang
was third, ano -iext to this fourth and
after the fourth fifth, each as it was
found proving just little shorter and a
little smaller than the one found Just be-
fore it. So that the serpent was endowed
with five fangs on one side Of its mouth,
each to come into use IN regular succession.
The physician dissected only one part of
the snakes head, but this proved to his sat
isfaction that the current belief that rat
tle-snake has only one fang on each side Of
Its head, is q very erroneous belief as ap-
piled to all snakes of this species.

Judge Cady pushed aside his judicial
ermine, and, leaning his arm upon the desk,
the tears welled up from his soul into his
eyes as he pondered on those happy days
"fou see, pursued the Judge, forcing
back the lump In his throat, ''you see

He had law office adjoining mine and We
were together a great deal. Well, Church

I've got sick Of wearing this red nose Of

OF total abstinence men, Well, we swore
of and agreed that whichever one Of us
first broke the pledge should buy the other

the pledge like n Spartan hero-I never
quailed before the Establishments Of the
white-robed bartender, and Blackburn
seemed to be doing well, too. We were
together Just as much as ever, and never
caught him taking drink of liquor in all
that six months time. Twice day we
used to go down to the Planters House
saloon and get couple of big lemonades
to cool our parched throats, and show the
boys how true to our resolutions we were.
Now all this time Blackburn's nose was
Just as red as ever, and couldn't under
stand why the change OF life should % give
1t more of tone Of repOse. Well, one hot
July afternoon We dropped IN at the Plan

my body. Look here, said to the bar

Why for five long months, twice a day,
Blackburn had been drinking gin and

A Game Boy.

Ii will be remembered that the schooner
Twilight broke her moorings at Atlantic
City and drifted to sea with only boy,
Adolphus Parker, aboard, during gale.
The boy gives the following statement of
his adventurous trip: He said when she
first parted her moorings thought would
run her ashore, but she struck the wharf
and sheered off into the stream. | then
threw over a small kedge anchor, which
dragged to the first buoy and there parted
the cable. Noticing she was fast being
driven OF the bar, hoisted sail to keep her
off. The surf boat put out to help me, but
turned back. Meanwhile ! tried to haul
her close to the wind, after clearing the
bar In the hope of receiving assistance,
which did not come. i now found myself
fast being driven to sea, and l did not
think the schooner would be able to stand
the terrible waves which struck her. The
rigging was poor, sail torn, and the pros
pect of her weathering the gale not very
promising. On Wednesday night q heavy
sea broke over the vessel and rolled me
over the wheel. The rigging and deck
were covered with ice, and it was with
difficulty / kept myself from freezing. On
Thursday supposed l was near the Gnlf
Stream. There was about q foot and a
half of water IN the hold and heavy sea
rolling. The pumps gave out. and | was
forced to bail her out with bucket. About
four O'Clock on Thursday afternoon the
wind sprang up fresh from the southeast.
then headed west and about ten O'Clock at
night was hailed by bark which cleared
the schooner by only ten feet. The
schooner's lights went on: and ! took down
the starboard light, relt it and hung the
signal light in the main rigging on the port
side. On Friday morning / sighted land
near Beach Haven, and after beating about
all day headed up abreast Absecom Light.
The sea was very rough, and failing to
bring the vessel into the inlet, and as the
water was up to the cabin floor, beached
her on Little Brigantine Shoals, where l
was taken of, after. having been without
sleep for four days and three nights

Toys.

The tables are turned. Not many years
ago large portion of the toys used by the
children of America came from Europe.
But now not only are the many inventions
which have originated in our country
sought by foreigners, but toys formerly
made abroad are manufactured more cheap
ly here, and the old world buys largely
from the new. Last year the export trade
in toys was over $1,000, 900. American
steam toys and mechanical toys have rapid
ly multiplied within a few years. and are
exported in large quantities; 30 also tin
and wooden toys which much excel Euro
pean products in style, finish, and cheap
ness.

The Tenor. Revenge.

companies. lie was a good singer, ant
every time he sang, the audience, with de
termination to &c. the full value o. theil
money and little more, which is pecu.
liarity OF audiences at an opera or concert,
always Insisted upon an encore. Aud ht
responded good naturedly, although h,
thought IL a little hard to be compelled tc
perform double the work set down on tht
bills every night. One day, while prone
nading on Fourth street, it occurred to hin
to do little encoring himself and see how
It worked. He stepped into hat store
and inquired of the proprietor, who came
forward TO wait on him, the price Of silk
hat. ''Seven dollars, was the reply lie
selected one that tittoi him and paid for it,
then he shouted: ''Eacore encore :"
"What do you meant" inquired the
proprietor, in amazement.
Il mean that | want another hat"
Certainly" said the proprietor as he
placed duplicate upon the counter Won
dering what the man wanted withtwo hats.
The tenor picked them both up and
started for the door,
"IIold on!' cried the halter, '.you did 'nt
pay for that other hat"
''But paid for the first one, and the
other is an encore, replied the tenor. See
ing that the man of hats, caps and flirs
failed to comprehend, he said:
II think saw you at the opera last

The hat store man did see by that time,
and he said to the tenor, Il acknowledge
the corn, you can take my hat,h but he
wouldn't, he only took the one he paid for,
and.with feeling Of satisfaction thai he had
impressed a lesson upon one Cincinnati
man who would encore everything, he
walked out with a genial smile and pursued
the even tenor of his way.
