A Living Express Package.

It.. ~ ff4-f 4 ?
All sorts Of queer things are carried
by the railroad companies nowadays;
but the oldest piece Of freight that has
been seen in Pittsburg for long time
passed through on Saturday. A chubby,
round-faced, bright, looking boy eleven
years old, named Casey Pemmel, arrived
in the city on Saturday evening in the
care of the messenger of the; Baltimore
& Ohio Express Company. He had trav-
eled as a piece Of express matter from
some place in far-away Texas. He had
a paper tag tied to him just as though
he was a bag Of potatoes, and; on the
tag was written the address of his con-
signee. He was entered oon the way
bills and manifests Just like any other
freight and as he passed from the hand
of one express messenger to another he
was duly receiptedsfor. This living. .ex-
press bundle. left Texas on Tuesday
and has been well-taken care of. With
Casey was package containing money,
a baggage check and a ticket over the
Pennsylvania Railroad from Pittsbure
to Philadelphia Whenithe boy wanted
anything to eat. or desired some other
reasonable object the messenger took
sufficient money from the package to
pay for it and charged it on bill which
was with it. Casey was placed on
board a passenger train ON the Pennsyl
vania Road on Sunday and Is now prob
ably safe in the hands Of his friends. 2

Making Profits Out Of Human Weakness,

1t is not only among lawyers that q
certain class is found who induce quar-
relsome or avaricious people to 60 into
lawsuits by telling them they are right
and must seek redress by law They
do this only for the purpose of obtain
ing their professional fees, in place of
giving them the honest advice to settle
arnicably, by mutual agreement. as in
'asaae cases ont of ten a0oastd be far better.
We find the same class of men among
doctors, who, when people mention
some slight ailment, make them believe
that they are sick, or soou will be very
sick if they do not take a certain course
Of medical treatment which they will
prescribe.a They also do this for the
purpose Of. obtaining professional fee,
in place of giving them the honest ad-
vice to fast for one or two days, to take
rest, and so stop drinking and smoking,
if they are addicted to these vices. In
nine cases out Of ten this soould be far
better.
The lawyer Of this class makes the
client believe that he has been wronged
and the doctor makes the patient be-
lieve that he is very sick. They all
have their own profit in view and play
upon human weakness, which, in some
individuals, consists in combativeness,
in, others in imaginary weakness of
body. and again, in others, in conceit
about their mental accomplishments.
There is no profession in which men
can make money out of it by telling
people about their weakness Of mind
.VHho 1vy al IS .oL
people sometimes complain is defective
memory, but they will never complain
about defective judgment or defective
common sense. This agrees perfectly
with what German physician has late
ly argued in an essay, that insanity is a
blessing, as the insane live in an ideal
sphere, which usually is far happier
than the reality. in the world of trouble
through which they have passed and
which made them insane. But the fools
outside Of the 4 asylums, which largely
outnumber those in confinement, are
happy also, while the sensible people
have all the cares, u How far it is right
to attempt the cure of the insane is
another question. The German physi-
clan referred to considers, it an act of
unklndness. il not cruelty, to restore
the happy llnatics in asylums again to
this world of ;, troublesome realities,
while we consider the cure of the luna
tics out of the asylums an impossibility.
Already Solomon had found this, out
when he said. "Though thou shouldst
bray a fool ina mortar among wheat
with a pestle, yet will not his foolish
ness depart from him. "-Scientifc

Our Happy Old Ancestors.

1t IS a great pity that anybody has to
do anything between June and Sep
tember. How much happier were our
ancestors than ourselves! Why, WAS
telling my son this morning about his
ancestors, and just envied them. When
they awoke at sunrise they just kicked
off the bear skin, dipped themselves
into the creek, if there was a creek
handy, ano didn't if there wasn't, hung
wolf skin over their shoulders, and
they were dressed for the day. This
was long ago, because we come of q
very old family. Our family records
show that our direct ancestors had the
handsomest cave in their range of
mountains and stranger couldn't get
up in the night for drink of water
without falling over, a skull. And they
never had to do a stroke of work All
day long the gentlemen hunted, not so
much for sport as for meat. And the
ladies stayed at home and talked gossip
and chewed wolf skins to make them
soft and pliable for children's winter
clothing. A man didn't 60 roaring and
swearing around his room in the morn
ing, in those good old days, with his
eyes full of soap, cropping for the towel.
There was no such a. thing as soap, and
they had no use for towels. And they
never worried about salaries and the
prices of commodities. When they
wanted anything they stole it, and when
they couldn't steal it in sublime spirit
of contentment they went without it.
And politics never worried them either
The man with the biggest club and the
longest arm was President by unani-
NOUS vote every time, and the man who
objected to the election was promptly
sold to the. Ohio medical, students in the
interest of science. Those were the
days when a man could run for Presi-
dent on his shape. They were good
men, those ancestors of mine, in their
day. l am not ashamed of them, be-
cause have no reason for thinking they
were ashamed of me, and if they can
stand it can. They were more relig-
ious than am. They prayed oftener
and made more noise about it, and they
had more gods than they had
words in their language, They
fought little, stole some and lied a
great deal, and swore every time they
thought of it, but they never played
croquet, and were proof against the
vanity of roller skates. There were
some good things about them after all.
The best thing l know about them is
their distance, their remote antiquity.
l revere. the rare good sense which
prompted them to live and get through
with it and die, about three or fon1
thousand years before their more fastid.
ious descendants wanted the stage fol
their brief hour. Bssrlette, in the HawE.

undergoes destruction and renovation
by fire. On such a supposition the story
OF Phaeton becomes the tradition of an
actual event in the earth's history Ac-
cording to the myth, Phaeton persuaded
his father Apollo to let him drive the
car Of the sun for day, lost the road,
and, approaching too. near the earth,
set Olympus on fire, consumed cities
and whole nations with flame and turned
the northern end OF Africa into water
less desert.
The cause of any sudden accession of
heat in the'sun, or in a star, is believed
to be the downfall upon its surface of q
vast quantity Of meteoric matter whirl-
ing in a track of some comet. We have
records of sudden Frightening Of the
sun in modern times. A remarkable
phenomenon of this kind occurred Sep
tember 1, 1859, and, although it was of
very brief duration it produced start
ling effects in various parts of the world
Ii there is a mass of meteors rushing
in an orbit that the sun crosses at GER
tain epochs and. which then causes his
fires to burst out with the effects de-
scribed in the ancient traditions, they
have thus far escaped the ken of the
astronomers. Observation has shown,
however, that if such meteors exist they
are to be looked for in the wake of a
comet'and we can depend upon the as
tronomers to give due notice of the
comets appearance.-N y Sun. s,r.

Sunbursts Of Heat.

The scientific Journals have lately
contained many notices of the observa-
tion of new and suspected variable stars.
The more carefully the stars are studied
the more evident it becomes that a pref
ty large proportion of them undergo
changes OF light with more or less reg
ularity.. There are few whose brillian-
cy changes SO quickly as that Of Algol,
the Winking Demon, in Medusa's Head,
but there are many that wax and wane
remarkably.
This subject becomes especially in
teresting in view of the. fact that rea-
sons have been shown why our own sun
may be regarded as a variable star.
Professor Proctor, in his essay on the
End of Many Worlds" suggests that
periodical outbursts of heat in the sun
may account for the curious tradition,
running alike through the Indian,
Egyptian. Chinese and Greek mythol.
