4 Little White Lamh.

On the day in March, 1873, the fear.
ful cyclone which ravaged Middle Geor-
gia was doing its most destructive work,
white lamb, no larger than an ordi-
nary house cat, was safely deposited
among other debris, in the yard of Mr..
Don Prather, an old gentleman who
lives near Berzelia, on the Georgia road.
AS soon as the lamb was discovered
some one of Mr.. Prather's family ran
out, picked it up and carried it into the
house. Where it came from no one
knew, but it was fed and warmed and
nurtured and became a great pet in the
household. In fact, like Mary's lamb,
it followed Mr.. Prather about all the
time. After inquiries, Mr.. Prather
could find no one who owned flock of
sheep in the direction from which the
cyclone came for distance of twenty
miles, and where his pet came from was
more of a mystery than ever. At any
rate it grew to be a fine healthy sheep,
and as the years passed it was regular
~ sheared and the wool applied to do
mestic uses, There was no other sheep
on the place, and it is doubtful if ever
this lamb saw another of its species
since the memorable March wind took
ner upon its wings and deposited her
safely in Mr.. Prather's yard. This has
been over six years ago, and the yield
of wool from this lost sheep has aver
aged annually about FIVE pounds. Mr..
Prather brought to town this year
clip, which Melted six pounds, for which
he received twenty-five cents per pound.

and pole up the Musquash . couple Of
miles in q punt. I was too old to row
and too young to pole. So l bailed.
The punt didn't leak any, or I would
have given the bailing pan to somebody
ployment for myself. Then we took
path through the woods for . few miles
further. Talk about tangled woods. II
your guide gets ten feet ahead Of you
you are as much alone as though the
world had only been made yesterday,
and you were the first baby. We reach
a quarry lake, and wade along its mar
gin quarter of q mile or 30, because
the woods are impossible. Spring
forks empty into the lake here and there
their cold waters, cutting deep bitches
into the swampy ground, hidden over.
with sedge grass. "Look out for the
spring brook" shouts George, in the
lead. look up and see him Just crawl
ing out of one, an,. we laugh to encour-
age him. He is greatly encouraged.
He does not say 80, but we can tell that
he is by his looks. He looks as though
he would like to throw some man half
way across the lake.
Suddenly cease laughing. am as
found of fun as anybody, but I don't
believe in laughing to excess, especially
over mans misfOrtunes.

Fred.
"Onlv one," reply, .,.s-.ss ~
This is. a lie. Both Of them were i'm.
partially drenched.
"How high up?'' asks Davy.
ITO my neck" I say.
This is the truth. And George looks
pleasanter than he has looked for the
last half mile. What stupid things some
people will laugh at. There is nothing
funny in spring brook, especially when
you don't know it is there.
AS to the number and size of the trout
caught, all want is for the other man
to make his report first; just want to
"get the drop on him." as it were, and
if I am not king of the lake it is because
my glowing Imagination is struck with
paralysis and somebody has stolen my
arithmetic.
While we were whipping the river we
occasionally made short cut-offs through
the woods. On some of these short
tramps I did not think it worth while to
wind up my line. Now if any man had
told me in how many varied and COM
pick warps and loops and tangles a
trout line could tie itself around forty
different kinds of trees, I would have
stunned his evil companionship. But
it is q solemn fact that fifteen feet of
trout line can spread itself around more
country than Queen Dido's bulls hide.
And it can get around in more perverse
shapes. I am patient, slow-speaking
man, and am not given to Incorporate
language. But the dutiful paternal
licking there is in store for my son if
ever / hear him talking to inanimate
objects as his father addressed himself

Whistling IN England.

THERE is much less whistling among
farmers men than forty or fifty years
ago, and less singing also. When l
was boy. most Of the men sang st
plow and with their teams. Their voices
borne over the hills by the breeze were
one of the charms of country ramble.
They mostly sang love songs or scnti.
mental ditties. remember "The Mis-
tlctoc Bough'' was great favorite with
one Of my fathers men. Some time
ago l remarked to the rector of neigh.
boring parish how very seldom heard
men singing at the pillow compared to
when l was boy. He replied: "That
is because you were bred among the
hills, and now live in fiat country:
men don't sing in fiat countries" felt
this was correct. Milkmaids sang to
their cows, without which it was be-
licved they would not "givc their milk
down. If you meet country girl
nowadays, and ask her. "Where are
you going to. my pretty maid?' YOU
can never say the crly was "A milk
ing. Sir" for maids no longer milk. but
leave it to be done by men called
"garthmen.' At the "clippins" all
the men were expected to sing, but
those who could not might whistle, as l
have heard them more than once Like
mi'kmaids, "clippins' have all van
isncd. Those kindly gatherings, where
the master and his neighbors and his
men all made merry together. have all
gone. and we have steam plows and
reaping machines and laborcrs' unions
instead. Although there is yet more
singing and whistling in billy than IN
fiat countries. it is certain that farmers
mcn neither sing nor whistle half as
much rs they used to do As far back
as ! remember. our middle classes con-
sidercd wiistling vulgar las boys were
not allowed to whistlc). IL is possible
the laborcrs have now got to lhnk,n.
so, too. Hallway trips and more ready
access to towns, are bringing every.
thing TO dead level, and gradually CT
facing ti'c old-fashioncd country ways.

A GREAT business Is going on this
year in the importation Of iron from
Africa for use In American manufacto-
ries. The Philadelphia Times says that
the great reason for preferring African
iron to native ore is, of course, its
cheapness, but 1t has the further adj
vantage Of being remarkably free from
phosphorus. This ore has been inn
ported to some extent for two or three
years. but never in such quantities IS
now one authority estimating that
two hundred Thousand tons will be
shipped to New York this year. and
hall as much to Philadelphia, the latter
for use at the iron-works in Bethlehem
and Johnstown and BY the Pennsylvania
Steel Company. Another notable feat
ure in the iron trade Is the importation
q Bessemer pig, Of which forty-five
thousand tons are known to be under
contract for the United States. There
have been no importations of this sort
before since 1878.

The New York Central Park . Favor.
lite Place for Suicides.

WHEN Central Park was laid out and
opened to the public, which took, and
has taken ever since, so much pride and
pleasure in it, it was hardly thought
that it would be the field for suicides
how many persons go there to end their
unhappy lives. Scarcely week passes
that the body of some unfortunate is
not found there with sufficient accom-
panying evidence to show that death
has been sef-inflicted. So common has
this grown to be that the park patrol
men have received orders, when going
on duty in the morning, to search the
shrubbery and secluded places for sui
cides. In case of attempted suicide,
relief might come in time to do good,
because many persons bent on self
destruction are naturally SO nervous that
they handle their weapons clumsily,
often making wounds that may be
healed. Usually, however, the suicides
perform their CHASTITY work effectually.
Suicide is not pleasant association
with the city's favorite promenade and
pleasure ground, but it is hard to see
how it can be prevented. Certainly,
no legal enactments will be apt to re-
strain q man who has decided to de-
stroy himself. 1t is said that an order
was once conspicuously posted in
Phoenix Park. Dublin, to the effect that
anybody who should be detected in
committing suicide there should be
compelled to pay fine of twenty-five
shillings. The difference between
Frenchmen and Americans is exhibited
in the choice of places for committing
suicide: The former very rarely choose
any retired spotin the Bots de Boulogne.
They usually prefer to make away with
themselves in the most public and mel
odramatic manner, leaping from the
Arc de Triomphe, the Column of the
Place 'endome, or the Tower de Saint
Jacques. Americans and Anglo-Saxons
generally seek some out-of-the-way spot
to end themselves, where they know
that there will be little danger Of inter-
ruption, where they can feel sure of ex-
ecuting their fatal intcnt.-M 7.

THE number Of imprudent persons
who have been killed since the Franco
Prussian war in trying to empty the
German shells that have been found un-
exploded in the fields round Paris is ex-
traordinary. At St. Denis, a few weeks
ago, charcoal dealer, an old man Of
sixty-eight, who had earned some celeb
rity in the neighborhood BY his collec-
ton Of German shells, was trying to
empty another, when It exploded and
blew him and his shop to pieces. The
remnants Of his body were found scat
tered in al directions. A similar acct
dent is also reported from the arsenal,
Of Belfort, where one artilleryman was
killed and 1--WE wounded.

4 Prisoners Wonderful Escape,

WHO will believe that man twenty
years old, and one hundred and fifteen
pounds in weight, crawled through a
hole in stone wall six by eleven inches
in size, twenty-five feet from the
ground, and escaped down a rope?
These were the exact circumstances un-
der which Charles Grafton, sentenced
on Friday last to one years imprison-
nent and one hundred dollars fine and
costs on two indictments for assault and
battery, escaped from the Venango
County Jail at twelve o'clock Monday
night. Grafton, with John Murray, con-
victed of the same offense and sentenced
1T the same time, was confined in the
cell farthest removed from the apart
ments of the Sheriff. Using two case
knives, which had been converted into
saws, he first cut through the one and q
half inch upright iron bar dividing the
window, which is six inches wide He
then, with cold chisel, cut into the
wall, which is composed of q soft free
stone, until he had freed both ends of a
fiat cross-bar Of half-inch iron, through
!: hole in which the upright was passed.
Just below the next cross-bar above he
cut into the upright to depth of three
sixteenths of an inch, and, inserting one
end of long bed-slat. he and his part
ner, by applying their united strength
to the slat, broke off the bar where the
nick had been made. This left q space
ok inches wide and eleven inches high.
Previously he and his partner had torn
their blanket into narrow strips and
plated quite neat rope therefrom.
Securing the rope to what was left Of
the upright rod, he thoroughly soaped
the sides of the opening, soaped his own
naked body and wriggled through this
small hole, climbed down the rope,
dressed himself after his clothes were
thrown down by his accomplice and es-
capped through storm OF rain. His
companion, being Of larger frame, did
not attempt the hopeless task Of get
ting through the window. but went
quietly to sleep. There were found in
the cell two knives, one cold chisel, one
hammer and two bags. converted into
sacks from the sleeves Of q shirt, con-
nected by cord of sufficient length to
bring them, if hung over his shoulders,
down to his hips and which may have
been used to protect his sides as he
edged his way through the aperture, al
though this is Scarcely probable. These

japanese POliteness.

THE Japanese are born polite. Their
parents were, and these in turn, came
from centuries of polite ancestors. As
an infant, the natives soft bones and
waxen mind took shape from the Ma
tional mold. From his mothers apron
strings-no figure here-hc passed into
the judicious care of elderly gentle
women, learned in department, who in
structed him, through years of pupil.
age, till proficient in all the niceties of
an etiquette which, as we shall see, ap-
preached to the character of an exact
science. Arrived at years of discern
ment, he could not fail to perceive that
he not merely should be but must be a
gentleman. Decorum was part of his
duty as a citizen, and rudeness breach
OF the peace, if not indeed capital
of1ense. A due observance of the cere-
monies was statutory law, and violation
OF them misdemeanor which rendered
the offender liable to the severest penal
ties which the linked tyrannies of law
and fashion could devise. These regu-
lations covered every relation of society
and extended beyond to dictate the Ell
quette of devotion. Even the gods
were to be worshiped in good taste.
The operation of this singular social
code resulted in as beautiful science
of manners as the world has ever seen.
AS nowhere have manners been held in
higher esteem, or more studiously cult
waited, SO never have they been brought
TO q nicer perfection in any age or
country.
The relation Of good breeding to
goodness we may leave to the metaphy-
sicians. We all feel the advantage
which polished address and culture
give the possessor of such accomplish
ments. At the same time we can see
how possible it may be that the very
prince of darkness is a gentleman. 8
There is no scoundrel, after all, like the
scoundrel in broadcloth. That the
Japanese themselves perceive there is
no necessary connection between formal
and real courtesy may be seen from one
OF their popular maxims, which says
that Those skilled in speech and
manners have little kindness. III. r.
