The Boy With the Stone. Brulse.

THERE was an important medical
consultation in rear of a Woodward
avenue grocery yesterday afternoon. A
mite OF boy not over seven years old
who sells morning papers, was seated
on box in the center of the circle, and
six or eight older heads were examin.
ing stone-bruise on his foot.
~ don't claim to know everything
about doctoring," remarked one of the
boys, as he finished his examination,
"but I've had over forty stone-bruises
and know this ERE one is ripe enough
to pick"
"Oopr' gasped the small boy on the
box, as he drew his foot under him.
"That's jist the way one of these
rats take on" remarked boy with a
freckled face. "'Fore was his age !
aad more'n forty stone-bruises, all
oigger'n that one, and used to cry to
have my mother pick 'cm with q
broken darnin' needle. I'd give two
shillins if had one now, cause know
how good 'twould feel to have it
opened"

small boy.

sleep nights, and it never hurt bit. l
tell you that was an awful good knife
to pare apples and open stone-bruisesr'
Il druther leave it till she busts,"
argued the small boy, as his chin quiv-
cred and the chills crcpt up his back.
1--WE got brother only two yc:tls
old who'd let us open his stone-bruise
quick as wink" said one of the
crowd. II guess this boy is baby and
coward, and 1 guess he wants some
sugar in a rag. Come on boys we
don't want to 'sociate with cowards!'
II tell ye I amt afraid!' exclaimed
the small boy, as he boldly pushed his
foot to the front.
"Course he amt" put in the largest
boy of the crowd, as he patted him on
the back. "Why, I'll bet this ERE
boy is just hankering for me to pick
that stone-bruise. 1t'll all be over in
minute and won't hurt a bit, and he'll
feel so happy that he'll 90 out on the
corner and lick Polack boy twice as
big as he is. Where's that ERE shawl
pin?''
II amt afraid, btt-but l druther
wait till tomorrow" replied the rat,
as his teeth shook together.
The big boy winked and nodded, and
one boy seized the rat by the leg and
the others by the body.
"O-h-h-h! you'll kill mel know
you WILL
Hold right still now if you want
twelve big pears!''
And bean-shooter," added the
second.
And hat-full Of peaches put in
the third.
And dog with bell on said the
boy who was holding the leg.
I'd just as lief have it done as not,
but--murder! murder!' screamed the
rat.
Half q dozen people rushed down
to the alley to find the cause Of the
alarm, and one Of them cried out:
:. What on earth are you boys doingp''
Doing9" echoed the big boy, Is he
gave the bruise last squeeze &. why,
we've jist made successful operation

heard tell Of, and if some relapse or

heard no sound but the voice Of the
mother.
1--WE are ali alive" she answered,
"but I fear that Artie is sinking fast"
"Oh, no, no, don't think so," said
the kind-hearted man. /" Well have
you all out in a few moments. Here is
q flask of whisky. Make the child
swallow some," and he poked the flask
through the hole just as Fright came
back, with the biscuit in his mouth, and
dropped that through, too.
Then Mr.. Raisins pulled off his coat
and went to work lifting up what pieces
of timber, mortar, ETC., he could, but
of course he could not move the tree
an inch. But by the time he had
considerable space cleared all around
it, John arrived with Mrs. Raisins, and
not two but sic strong, willing men;
and they had q stout rope around the
trunk Of that tree in the twinkling of
an eye, and heave once-heave twice
heave three times-and hurrah! away
it goes and the prisoners are free.
As l said before, the widows
hands were badly hurt, but the
children, except that they were faint
with hunger and want OF air, were un-
harmed. But had they been obliged to
spend another night in that dungeon, I
fear the morning would not have found
them alive. In the bakers wagon they
were placed-Sarah and Elizabeth on
some soft pillows Mrs. Raisins had
brought, and the poor widow herself
held in the arms of her old friend.
Artie looked up in the kind lady's face
with wan smile, as he leaned against
her knee, and Fright, whose leg had
been almost broken as he forced his
way through the hole in the trap-door,
went from one to the other covering
their hands with dog.kisses and wag-
ging his tail until it seemed as though
he must wag it off.
After the wagon followed the men,
and as they marched they met others
coming from town who turned about
and marched with them. And so q
little procession passed along to the
bakers door, and people leaned from
their windows and waved their hand
kerchiefs and cheered, and you heard
on every side, "There's the little dogr'
Hurrah for Fright, of the Beehivev'
''Bless the brave little fellow!''
And Bun, what do you think Bun had
done? He had gone and invited all
tho dogs in the neighborhood to bis
house, and there they all stood in a
row to welcome Fright when he ar
rived.
Mrs. Raisins laug he'd until her sides
shock, and she gave them all a splen.

And the next morning the very next
morning-Fright had new silver COL
lar presented to him by the Elmtown-
ers, on which was inscribed Fright,
OF the Beehive. A good dogr' And
the widow had more offers of help than
she had ever had in all her life before.
And just six weeks from the day the
baker rescued them from the cellar, a
new cottage stood in the place of the
old one, with cellar that ran under
the house all the way; and Mrs. Marks
and her children, and Fright, aud the
cat, and the hens and chickens, all
moved in and were at home once more.
But the old knot-holes were gone,
and the bees never came back again

Mrs. Johnson's Wood. Chopping.

Mrs. Julia Johnson, tho wife of Pc
ter johnson, who resides in the town of
Rochester, had an experience in the
way of splitting wood the other day,
that will throw in the shade the sad
dest tale the Danbury Mews man ever
wrote. This lady went on the wood
pile in order to split some wood to
brighten up the fire, and took with her
q sharp ak to accomplish her purpose.
After selecting proper piece of wood,
she raised the axe and struck at the
wood several times without hitting it.
and naturally being little vexed at
the result, launched out powerful
blow, which sent the Ak clear through
the stick. but did not split it in two
Thinking she could easily part it with
her hands. she inserted her fingers in
the crack and with all Ter strength
tried to spread it apart. Out dropped
the axe, when the stick came together
with q snap, and though she managed
to pull out the fingers of one hand by
scraplng them some, those of the other
were fastened in grip so strong
that she could not free them. After
struggling while, she picked up the
axe with the free hand and tried to strike
the piece of wood so as to split it
through; unluckily the blow miscarricd,
and the keen edge of the axe, coming
in contact with one of her fingers, cut
it completely off. The poor woman
finally went to neighbours house, her
hand fastened in the stick as with q
wise, the blood sire aiming from her fin
ger, when by the aid of one or two
people she was released. Kingston

IT IS an interesting fact that, when
anime purple was first prepared, it
was for length of time sold at seven
times the price of pure silver. A cake
of it, sixty-nine ounces in weight, will
dye OF deep tint 1923 pounds of
wool or silk. equal to the wool oh.
tanned from 250 sheep. From thirty
cwt. of coal, some 365 pounds Of
tar are obtained, which furnishes
eighteen pounds of naphtha, contain
ing six pounds of benzol; from this
latter-the starting point of mauve
and imaginative pounds of aniline
are produced, from which, again, one
pound of mauve or magenta can be OBJ
tanned, sufficient to dye $50 pounds of
silk, or 900 of wool. In other words,
four pounds Of coal will yield enough
OF the benzol-aniline itself is present
in coal tar, but in too small quantities
to be practically separated to produce
magenta sufficient for dyeing one

The Successful Man.

When our successful man was u boy,
and lived in a manufacturing village of
New Hampshire, a widows son, the
greatest luxury lie knew was to eat
apples. SO he told US the other day
when We fell into conversation about
old times.
Yes said he, "when I was ten
years old, used to think that if ever |
was rich enough to have rs many apples
as wanted all the year round. l should
be perfectly happy. Aud now.'
he went on to say that he had one OF
the finest orchards on a small scale to
be found anywhere in Massachusetts,,
which produced last year ninety four
barrels of apples of the best varieties
yet produced. But he did not eat two
apples per annum. He could not. for
while he was making his fortune he
worked so hard, and confined himself
so closely, as to contract chronic
weakness of digestion. With all the
luxuries of the world at his command,
he was obliged to live principally upon
oatmeal and milk.
Later in his youth, his ambition
scared above apples. He was beginning
to get little more money than he
absolutely needed, and was able oc-
casionally to indulge in ride. He
then thought that if he could ever own
, q horse fast enough to pass every thing
on the road, and take no mans dust, he
should be the proudest and the hap
piest of men
Well, he continued. 81 have a
horse that think is the fastest in my
county; but never drive him. gave
him to my son last summer, and for my
own use L keep an old plug that joys
along six miles an hour without my
troubling myself about him"
At this point, our poor successful
man YEARLY took out his watch to see
how time was getting on, and we OBJ
served that the watch was OF peculiar
pattern rarely seen in this country.
This watch, said he, sis another
case in point. One of my young am
billions was to possess as good watch
as mortal man could make. have one.
gave 5000 in gold for it, at time
when gold was more expensive article
than it is now. But knocking about the
world in sleeping.cars and Mediterra
mean steamboats,, l was always anxious for
the safety of my watch; and besides,
the possession of so costly an article by
q traveller is a temptation to robbers.
One day in Paris 1 noticed in shop
window this curious little watch,
marked twenty-five francs. A tive.dol-
lar watch was novelty, and l bought
it. deposited my six-hundred. dollar
timekeeper with my banker, and it has
been ever since in an iron safe. l find
| that this little watch kaeos time "a we'll
for all the ordinary purposes of life, as
the other, and have carried it ever
SINCE"
| The Successful Man said these things
| with what We may call good-humored
despair. He made no complaint; but
at the age when he ought to be in the
full tide of cheerful activity, he APP
peared to have exhausted life.

1t is a frequent remark that inventive
genius has only begun experimenting
with that wondrous force, electricity.
Notwithstanding the great discoveries
made, each new development seems N ore
marvellous than the last. Now we have
announced an improved system of sub
marine cables, whereby, through the
use Of submarine repeaters and relays
and mathematical type-printers, the
speed of transmission can be increased
to over five hundred words per minute.
Think of lowering into oceans depths

tanning q simple mechanism, and MAX
ing that perform the functions of an
Office and two operators at the bottom
of the sea, thus gaining the advantage
of a double circuit and a working
speed four times increased! Nothing
less than that is proposed, and new
American Gable Company has been Or
ganized to carry forward this revolution.

following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:

STANDARD SOAP COMPANY-GENTs:
Some two or three months ago, had boy
about two years old that had suffered for Il
year with severe eruption on the head and
face, caused by teething. The child was in
such misery that il would often be awakened
out of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything We could find, but nothing
seemed to give any permanent relief until
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we
had used one cake, the child's head and face
were entirely healed, and there has been no
appearance of the disease since.
