That Terrible Small Boy.

IT was the small boy, says the Balti-
more american, that tied the brace OF
baleful tomato-cans to q ours tail and
sent him down Charles Street in the
height of the fashionable promenade. 1t
was he who slung the two cats, tied to-
gether with string at the tips of their
caudal excrescences, over the door-knob
of wealthy citizen on Mount Vernon
Place, thereby causing an uproar in the
neighborhood from which it has not yet
recovered; and many other sportive lit
tie jests may be laid at his door. Yes
terday he turned up in new place. He
wanted some kite-cord and had not the
wherewithal to purchase it, so he laid
him about for the means to procure it..
An idea struck in the center of his pro-
life brain, and having in his pocket a
boarded penny he hired him to neigh
boring drugstore, where he asked for a
cents worth of licoriee. Now, the small
boy had with him scraggy, NANCY
dog, which had been his playfellow from
his earliest day, and to this hounds tail
he attached strongly the end of the bah
of cord which, as all know, rests in a
case on every well-regulated merchants
counter. Having tied the string and
fixed it so the cord would run easily off
the ball-all while the druggists back
was turned-he gave his dog kick and
told him A harsh tones to 'get out! y
The dog got out at full run down the
street towards home, while the boy, with
calm judgment, waited until he thought
the dog had run three or four squares,
and then cut the Irvine, the latter end of
which shot out of the store in twink
ling, and receiving the licorice from the
unsuspecting man, who had had to rum
mage around to find it, decamped quick
ly, and, with his hands in his pockets,
sauntered around the corner, set out for
the house, which he reached almost as
soon as the dog, and gathered in his
harvest of Irvine. 1t is also reasonable
TO suppose that he flew his kite.

And as write tonight the beautiful

Cider and Apples.

In the food of vast numbers of people
ior several centuries the apple has
played a great and satisfactory part.
vi all the fruit which temperate chimes
afford it is at once the most wholesome
and the most palatable. From it's con-
sumption when ripe no evil effects re-
suit; it is more digestible than the pear,
safer than the gooseberry or cherry, and
useful in greater variety of ways than
all its compeers put together. In early
spring it adorns the field by it's incom.
parable blossoms, enchanting the eye
by its beauty, while it fills the air
around with the most delicate of per-
fumes. Equally as the queen of the
desert, and the cooks most constant
friend, it has the highest claim to dis
tinction. From its juice the wine of
Devonshire is made; raw, it ekes out
the breakfast of the laborer; roasted,
it is unsurpassed in the delicious taste
it affords; as the foundation of jams,
jellies, tarts, and conserves innumers-
BILE, it holds an unrivaled place.
ALI kinds of experiments have been
made with it, and each has been sue
cessful. 1t has figured conspicuously
both as meat and as a drink. In the
thirteenth century, according to Gull
laume lie Breton, the inhabitants of
Normandy not only made cider their
| daily beverage, but were so jealous of
their recipe of the grateful draught that
they would neither send it away from
their country nor let the secret out.
When one sad day, however, the Nor
man harvest of apples fell short, and
the good people of Normandy had
to 60 further aield for the gen.
erous fruit which they loved so
well, they found, to their horror,
that their neighbors of Biscay had, by
some means or other, discovered the Sc
cret of cider themselves, and were ready
not only to sell the fruit but its product
as well. Still, in Paris the people were
sadly behindhand with the apple, and
as late as the fifteenth century contented
themselves with sour kind of drink
called "depense," made by sleeping the
fruit in water, of which the most that
could be said was that it was as harm
less as it was uninviting.
England had meanwhile made fal

FOUND DRowNED.-Early this morning
bOatman discovered q human body floating
in the Bay, off North Point. 1t was Sc
cured and conveyed to the Coroner's office,
where it was discovered to be the remains Of
a young gfrl, about twenty years OF age,
clad in male garments. From papers found
upon her person it was ascertained that for
long time previous she had disguised her
self in masculine attire, and lived under the
assumed name of Robert -, occupying
room No. SO, in 6 lodging house on -
Street, in this city.
So totally unprepared had l been for
this denouen'erat of my adventure that
for a time was quite unable to collect
my senses and realize that this catastro-
phe had befallen my singular friend of
the previous evening. But at last | re-
covered myself sufficiently to hasten to
the Coroner's office, and, obtaining adj
mittance, l once more found myself
looking down upon the beautiful face
that had so wildly impressed itself up
on my memory. 1t was white and cold
in death now, but the serene and gentle
expression was still there, and the sad
smile seemed to linger lovingly upon the
pale lips that had been closed to all
eternity. The blue eyes were yelled in
the long, last sleep; but there was a
fascination in that calm, dead face that
was even more irresistible than when in
life. And, as turned sadly away, |
breathed a prayer for that poor, depart
ed spirit that was destined never more
to suffer in loneliness, or hope in vain
through long and weary years for the
kind word of friend.

Helpless Girls.

Our most helpless girls belong not to
the highest or lowest but to the middle
class. Mulberry Street brings out girls
who can wash, cook, walk ten miles and
swim. Fifth Avenue produces girls
who can row, swim, ride, shoot with
bow or rifle and even cook. But be-
tween these two extremes is a vast army
of girls who, apart from dressing,
iano-playing and making the most of
their good looks, can do nothing, or
next to it. Put them in q boat, they are
helpless. Put them in the water, they
founder and sink. Put them on horse,
they fall oil. Put them on their feet,
they can't walk mile unless out
shopping" Put bow in their hands,
they are cowlike in awkwardness. Put
them on vessel, it is with difficulty
they tell whether the bow or stern goes
first Apart from dancing or music, in
which they are proficient, they are pro-
foundly ignorant of all really good en-
ployment or recreation. They pad,
they powder, they dye their hair, they
bisect themselves with corsets, they
grow up fat and fabby; there is little
elasticity in their muscles and less in
their minds; their talk runs to common
place, or if excited to a series of exple-
tives and interjections, deemed pretty
in a girl when the bloom is on her
cheek and ridiculous in an old maid
when the bloom is off. Turn them
adrift on the world, deprive them of
their natural supporters and they sink
at once. They have little physical or
moral strength, little independence, lit
tie real pride of character. They are
willing and anxious to be married and
supported. These are to be the moth
ers of the majority of the coming men.

A Babes Narrow Escape from Death.

An eighteen months old child of Mr.
Harper, ESse Center, was marvelously
near being killed the other day. AS En-
gineer Whitcombe, of the Canada South
ern Railroad, was approaching the sta
tion at Essex Center with his train he
noticed a child upon the track. He
could perceive the little one, as he drew
closer, clapping its tiny hands with glee
to see the iron monster approaching
At once he signaled to put on the brakes,
but he saw that the train could not be
brought to q stand-still in time to save
the life of the child. Quick as thought
he mounted to the railing round the en-
CINE and was speedily on top of the cow
catcher There he met with an obsta-
Gle which frustrated his humane inten-
ton; the bars of the cow-catcher were
not wide enough to admit of standing
room. The train had almost come up
to the smiling child and the engineer
sorrowfully averted his eyes, knowing
that his efforts had been fruitless Next
moment the child was struck and pro-
PEELED forward for distance of about
eight feet. The train then went on and
did not stop till the whole length had
passed over the spot. Then the engineer
and train hands hurried back, expecting
every instant to see the mangled re-
mains of the little victim. But to their
surprise and delight they found that the
child mad been thrown into one of the
cattle guards, which contained about
eighteen iucheS of water, and they
picked the little one out half sufocated
but still alive. DR.. w. E. Smith, of this
town, was summoned and upon exami-
nation found that no bones were broken.
The front teeth were knocked out, a
severe bruise was indicted on the head
and several scratches on the face and
body. But none of the injuries were of
a fatal character and the little one is
now getting on all right.--LondOn

Six Girls Ride Sixty Years Ago.

In 1916, sixty-four years ago, six lit
tie women of Waterford, Vt, rode on
EStsame horse and at the same time,
some miles over the Waterford hills.
Their names and ages were as follows:
Lois Rowell, twelve; Nellie Caswell
and Rhoda Pike, eleven; Polly Caswell,
and Lois Pike, eight; and Anna Caswell
four Lois Rowell sat on the saddle
and held the reins and small Anna Cas-
well and the other four misses rode be-
hind her. They had nice time which
they all remember, for they are all still
living. Lois Rowell, now Mrs. Chas.
S. Gregory, lives with her son-in-law,
Caswell, on beautiful farm on the west
bank of the Connecticut in Concord,
Vt. She has been totally blind some
five years, but is intelligent, cheerful
and social. Nellie Caswell is now Mrs.
Giles Jones, of Victory, Vt. Rhoda
Pike is Mrs. Nelson Millen, Polly Cas-
well, now Mrs. Horace Buck and Lois
Pike, Mrs. Jefferson Hosmer, live in
Littleton, n. H., and Anna Caswell,
Mrs. Wilson Buck, in Charleston, Vt.
They are all now widows except Mrs.
Millen, and Mr.. Millen is her second
husband. Who knows of six other
women who together enjoyed lark
sixty-four years ago that has been
pleasant memory to them from that
time to this s?-BOSton Journal.

A HOLIDAY WISH.

Where green leaves let gold sunlight through,
Where winds grow tender as they sigh,
Where fleece of white on strand of blue
= Is all of cloud and all of sky,
Where bright things fit on brighter wing,
Where young birds pause to rest and sing,
And glad and sweet is everything,
You dream the hours away.
If might hover like the CLEAN
Of that bright slanting ray, whose gold
Falls soft through shadOw-light to beam
Der brow and cheek and snowy fold;
If might kiss your dusky hair
From covert shade and hidden lair,
And feel your beauty everywhere
The liyelong summer day
/ should not envy bird or flower,
| should not know this aching pain
That lasts the length of every hour,
And tells me love is all in vain,
That in your life have no part,
That for my heart gain no heart,
Though lips may sigh, though TEARS may s'ar'
Though in despair pray.
If might be the silent page
That feels the love-light of your eyes,
The record of some happier age
That fills your thoughts or wins your signs
If so might engross your mind,
And in your soft contentment ma
One thought, one hope, one glance as kind
sweet, what should l say?
o tender winds, that kiss her hair;
birds, that sing your love-sOngS sweet;
Opage, of subtler power than mine,
That may her deep eyes hold and meet
If you and were more akin,
Which would her wayward fancy WIN,
If you might end and begin
To WOO her love to-day!

The MyteriOus Kafirs.

1t was hoped that one Of the results
of the Afghan war would be to open up
communication with a tribe Of people
known to the Afghans as "Kairs "a
term of opprobrium, apparently, as the
English are also styled Katirs in Afghan
istan. Very little is known about these
people For centuries they have fought
against the attempts OF their neighborS
to seize their women, who are white
and extremely beautiful. The only
means of communication with this
strange tribe has been through some
men living near the borders of Kafris-
tan, who are adroit enough to be Af-
ghans on one side of the frontier and
Katirs on the other The account of
their manners and customs given by the
Afghans represents them as a people
whose wives are beautiful, whose land
produces magic herb, the pOssessor of
which can command the love of whomsO-
ever he chooses; in whose corn fields
pure gold is found lying around loose
and who kill every Afghan they can
catch and drink his blood. The only
hypothesis on which the savants can
account for the presence of these white
people in the midst of darker races is
that they are descendants Of one OF the
colonies established by Alexander the
Great on his march to and from India.
The KairS have many European char
acteristics. They drink wine, sit on
chairs and eat off tables and have no
superstitions as to their food, customs
or religion as prevail among their Mo
hammedan neighbors. They are known
to claim European descent and are sup
posed to be friendly to the British. In
order to look into the matter an English
officer has started for Katiristan, but it
is to be feared that Ayoob Khan's sue
cess will disarrange his plans.-N Y
