Loahnu,

Does the young man who persists in
being loafer ever reflect how much
less it would cost to be decent, re-
spectacle man? Does he imagine that
loaferism is more economical than
gentility? Anybody can be a gentle
man, if he chooses to be, without much
cost, but it is mighty expensive being a
loater. It costs time, in the first place,
days, weeks, and months of it; in fact,
about all the time he has, for no man
can be frst-class loafer without de-
voting his whole time to it, The occu-
patton, well followed, hardly affords time
for eating, sleeping, drive had almost
said drinking, but on reflection, we will
except that. The loafer finds time to
drink whenever invited, at the cost of
friends. Once fully embarked on the
sea of loaferdom and you bid farewell
to every friendly sail that sails under an
honest legitimate flag. Your consorts
will only be the buccaneers of society.
It costs, money, for, though the loafer
may not earn a cent or have one for
months, the time lost might have pro-
duced bin much money, if devoted to
industry instead of sloth. It costs health,
vigor, comfort, all the true pleasures Of
living, honor, dignity, sef-respect, and
the respect of the world when living, and
finally all right of consideration when
dead. Be gentlemen, then; it is far
cheaner

West India Mice.
from the Baltimore SUM-


Messrs. E. F. Schwartz & Co., of No.
1913 West Lombard street, have at their
store a couple of curiosities which, for
want of more proper name, have been
dubbed West Indian mice. They were
captured in a bunch Of bananas which
had been received in a cargo from
Jamaica. and were first observed running
among the fruit. On closer examination
nest similar to those built by birds was
discovered in the center of the bunch,
and seated in it was an animal resemb-
ling a mouse, though differing from it In
many respects. The young ones are
mouse-colored, with large, bright eyes
and bushy tails fully as long as their
bodies. The mother is of reddish
color, with unusually large, luminous
eyes for so small an animal. Her tail is
lengthy and bushy. Under her breast
is sac or pouch, similar to that of kan
garoos, in which the young ones take
refuge at the slightest approach of
danger. When at repose the mother
looks to be only as large as young rat,
but, when walking stretches fully half
foot. The young ones sit on her tail and
are carried about Several scientific
gentlemen viewed the little wonders, but
no one could properly classify them in
the catalogue of animals.

old friendship!'
They say you are going to marry

he began softly. And her face and
heart grew like stone. "Tell me, is
this true?"
She made no answer; and he thought;
"She is resenting my interference; she
has forgotten how fond I was of her

this as mere impertinence.

cannot forget the old days when we were
children together. Can you?"
She bent her head down lower, and he
could not see her eyes; but he went on:
you have forgotten probably, May,
and why should you have remembered
indeed? But [ will remind you, and
then you will understand that is was
more than mere friendly interest that

and then, as he clasped her in his arms,
she showed him the ring and the letter,
and sang him verse from the song that
had awakened his memories:

With those dear arms about me-
But oh! dread another day
The day you'll do without me? 2"

CHAPTER II.

The first three years that had passed
after their parting had gone by peace
fully enough, though they were burden
ed with dullness and poverty. Still,
they were spent in her old home, among
her loved own. But the last five years
seen her knocked about from one family
of strangers to another; now as compan-
ion; now as governess; for her father
and mother were dead, and all May in
herlted from them was a patient, brave
heart. Thereha been no lack of lovers
during these long years-lovers who
we're ready not only to WOO, but to
marry and a., if she could only have
awakened from that early dream, and
left off wearing that little twisted gold
ring. But she could not bring herself
to do either. She chung as tenaciously
to her old memories as she did to that
frail little pledge of the affection Lionel
Hastings had forgotten. So she prefer
red working her way on YEARLY enough
to FORGETTING her claims to cherish hope
and her ring.
"She was far too beautiful to be a
governess, all the men said; for time
had matured and enriched the beauty
that had been very bright and bewitch-
ing at sixteen. Poor May She longed
sometimes to show Lionel the beauty
that others priced SO highly. Surely, if
he could see her, he would remember
Balton and their old "young love-"
Her present occupation was a con-
genial one to her in more than one way.
She was acting as secretary and amanuen-
sis to a lady who insisted on being
"literary,'' and who, luckily for Nav.
was really fond of reading good works
This lady was sufficiently bright and
clever to be able to collect about her a
brighter and cleverer circle; and the
ability to do this proves no inconsidera-
BILE talent. It was while mingling with
this circle that May heard the name of
her old love again for the first time in
eight years.
"Lionel will be here in an hour, my
dear Mrs. Gaspard,'' May heard one
evening, and looking round, she saw a
stately matron with Lionel Hastings
eyes. His mother!" she thought, with
thrill, as she obeyed an irresistible
impulse, and got herself nearer to Lady
Hastings, longing to speak to her, to
touch her, or to do her some service,
however light, for love of the unforgot-
ten Lionel. Suddenly, the fact that he
would be before her in an hour required
to her; and the thought of how he would
look and feel and act upset her self-pos-
session, and made her falter in the adj
vance she had been about to make to
Lady Hastings. But that lady, being
very keen about beauty, had already
marked her.
"Who is the girl with the crown of
gold?" she asked of the hostess: and
Mrs. Gaspard, who was proud of her
well-selected library and handsome COM
panion, answered: "That is nv secre-
tary, Miss Baron. Quite a jewel. [
wouldn't have her in the house for the
world if I had son."
Lady Hastings laughed easily. "Those

A Young Mans Horrible Fate.

One of themost cruel and bloodthirsty
affairs we have ever heard of has come
to our notice recently, the perpetrator
being pass enger conductor on one of
the roads lealing out of the city. Going
through his train one morning he came
across young man daintily arrayed and
conscious of his dignity in that he sup
ported a well waxed and carefully cult
waited mustache. On the usual demand
for ticket being haughtily disregarded,
the blood of the conductor was aroused.
and with fire in his eye he grabbed for
that mustache, and while cry of horror
went up from the passengers who wit
messed the transaction, the young man as
thoroughly free from capillaries on his
upper lip as the day he toddIed at his
mothers knee, got up, and with head
hung and pain depicted on every
lineament, rushed for the baggage car;
the conductor coolly pocketed the mus
tache and went on, softly saying to him
self that touching refrain from Mark
Twain: "Punch, punch, punch with
care" fAcw

Two Situations.
from the Detroit Free Press.


Here was the first: A ragged boy of
10 was hanging around the corner of
Woodward avenue and Montcalm street.
and six or seven better dressed boys
were blowing peas at him, calling him
names and daring him to pitch in.
Here was the second: The ragged
boy entered grocery and bought a five
cent cocoanut, and as he started off up
the street six boys followed after, saying
respectfully:
CT told you he was bully boy !''
eff anybody strikes him he'll get
punched p
"What nice boy he it!''
"Show me the boy who threw mud at
him!'
'sOf course he'll divide it. He amt
no hog!'
"I'n bet he could lick the whole pile
of us, only his mother told him not to
fght!"

table, something about the dinginess of
the room, struck her as being sordid and
utterly inharmonious; utterly out of
keeping with the refinement that sur
rounded Lionel Hastings like an atmos-
phere.
Her meditations on this subject were
put to fight abruptly. Her father spoke
in agitated tones-tones which the poor
wife knew SO well portended fresh
anxieties, fresh struggles, fresh combats
with poverty. "Lionel, [ have had a
letter from Lady Hastings this morning
she thinks that the sooner you go to
Oxford the better" Mr.. Baron's voice
trembled very obviously. Lionel +" go
ing to Oxford" meant the direct loss of
three hundred year to the poor over
wrought vicar of Balton.
1t is needless to recapitulate here all
that was thought and felt and said after
the keynote of separation had been
struck. In the midst of the boys natural
delight at the proposed change, there
was pang of regret at the idea of part
ing with May. Pleasure and sorrow
were delicately blended in his heart, and
they filed the situation with emotional
interest. But in Mays heart it was all
pure sorrow, unmixed with any pleasur-
able sensation at all. He was leaving
her, going to Oxford; going to be ga
man," going to "begin lfe;" and in these
facts he found compensation for leaving

On a Ranche.

Stopping at @ rancho on the San An tonic river, in Texas. 8 correspondent of the Chicago Tribune saw the handsom- est dogs and horses he had come across in that region. "The proprietor" he says, 'came out dressed in baggy brown pantaloons, bed-ticking suspenders, and Yankee chip hat turned up behind like Joshua Whitcomb's. He was a very handsome man tall, muscular, and with manly brow features fit for a model, and a rich, full voice which spoke pure English. thought at once, What handsome man! How did you come down here on rancho ? My two men are sick, and I'm working like 8 slave myself, he said. Yesterday dug out that irrigating ditch, and I've drawn III loads of manure this spring myself, and spread it on the land, too.'" This agri- culturist was the Rev. Adirondack Mur. ray, formerly of Boston,

A NEW Box.-A new bailot-box has just been submitted to the French Gov ernment. It has two locks, ach open ing with different key, and an appa- ratus which clips 8 stub or corner from the ticket deposited by the elector, and drops the stub into one part of the box, the ticket going into the other division. Simultaneously the machine registers on table before the voter the number of tickets clipped. The ballots must agree in number with the stubs, and both with the "tell-tale," and the voter sees for himself that his ballot has been cast and taken account of.

CuriOsities of Vaccination.

A Detroit (Mich.) doctor who has vaccinated over 500 persons reports many odd experiences with subjects under the lancet. Not more than two men out of ten have it done in straight forward way. They hesitate, make inquiries, and postpone it 8 few days. One insisted upon being strapped fast to his chair while the operation was performed. Another wanted to take chloroform. A negro was one day seen to walk past the office several times, and the doctor finally stepped to the door and asked him if he wanted to be vaccinated. "Deed, sah, dat's what cum for," he replied, "but de werry minute I turned dat corner de blame thing quit aching p As rule the men, when they feel the lancet, cry "Woosh p or "Thunder 1" The women cry "Ouch P generally, but now and then one screams, "Oh, Lordy!" Children have to be fattered, coaxed or scared into submission.

SOME people are old fashioned enough to feel certain computations about tell ing lie, while others-well, they are not old fashioned at all. Tom Sheridan once told his father that he wanted to go down into coal mine. "And pray, what do you want to do at the bottom of filthy coal mine?" asked the batter nal relative. "Oh," said Tom, "noth- ing in particular, only I thought it would be nice thing to say that I had been to the bottom of the deepest pit in the country" We'll, my son." coutin. ued the old gentleman, "I don't see any possible objection to your saying that you have been there, but for Heav. ems sake don't go."

The Girl and the Hen.

In the village of Pandapura, hard by the town of Savatthi, there lived girl, who by tasting turtles egg contracted great liking for hens eggs. The hen, seeing the greedy girl eating the egg she laid daily, bore a grudge against her, and strong wish arose within her that in her rebrth she might become ghoul and eat up the girls offspring. In the course of time the hen died and became a cat in the same house, and the girl on her death became hen in her mothers house. Whenever the hen laid an egg, the cat out of grudge to her, ate it up. After this had happened several times, the hen prayed that ssshe might be so reborn as to be able to de- your the cat and all her progeny. The girl dying and leaving the condition of hen was reborn as leopard, and the cat in due time reappeared as deer; the deer gave birth to @ fawn, and the leopard, who still bore her @ grudge, ate them both up. In this way, during the whole course of 800 existences each of them devoured the other in turn. In their last existence the girl regained her human form and the cat became a ghoul, and both were converted by the Bud dha's discourse, which was to this eff feet: "No one must bear grudge against another, saying, He has in- iured me, he has beaten, he has robbed me, he has conquered m ; for if he does this, hatred will be repeated suc- cessively in future existences; but if no grudge be borne, enmity subsidies, /" This round of rebirth often brought about some very curious and compli- cated relations, as in the case of the un- charitab le Brahmin who always dined with closed doors and windows, lest he should be disturbed by importunate beggars. One day, when he was dining along with his wife and child, off fowl, , Buddha appeared before him as men, dicant, and upbraided him for his in- hospitable conduct, and with the family disgrace in which he was involved. In a former birth the bird the Brahmin had just eaten was his father; the little boy, his son, had been demon and had eaten the father, and his wife in former days had been his mother.

The Miser's Will.

Some years since wealthy, eccentric old gentleman, living at the West End of London. devoted the whole of his large fortune to the purchase of rare and beautiful jewels; and the contem- plation of these became his sole pleas ure and occupation in life. Leading a very lonely existence as he did, it is not to be wondered at that natural fear of burglars deepened at last in his mind into morbid dread of being robbed;
 and in terror lest he should be deprived of his treasure, he caused small room to be built in his house wherein he might deposit his valuables; and being an ingenious man, he constructed and arranged in it sort of meitrailleuse of pistols in such @ way that whoever opened the door would receive dozen
 bullets on the spot-a condition which might we'll appal the stoutest-hearted diamond fancier that ever came out of Newgate.
 The arrangement was rendered harm less to the owner by the manipulation
 of a certain secret string, known only
 to himself. But alas! no sooner was
 the thing fairly completed, and in com
 fortable working order, than the string
 slipped from his fingers one day as he
 was closing the door, fell down inside,
 and from that moment his collection of
 precious stones was as inac cessible to
 himself as to any burglar alive Seven
 years after th4s he died, having spent
 the greater part of that interval in gaz-
 ing sadly at the door which he himself
 had shut upon all he held dear on earth.
 A full account and explanation of the
 circumstances were found in his will, in
 which all his property was bequeathed
 to married niece and her husband. But all his property has been invested in those glittering crystals, and they
 were locked up behind that guardian
 door; and battery of pistol barrels is just as fatal to lawfully inheriting mar ried nieces and their husbands as tc feloniously acquisitive nocturnal visit. ors. What was to be done? After much deliberation, consultation and investi , gation the legatees came to the conclu
 sion that there was nothing for it but to effect an entrance into the back ol the closet through the wall of the next house. Here another difficulty oc- cured. The landlord of the adjoining l residence objected to having his wal knocked down on any consideration We'll, then, would he sell the house.
 Yes; at price. He was told to name : his own terms; and probably did no understate the value of the premises Be that as it may, the house was bought and then came difficulty number three

Then the wall was broached B the treasure chamber reached in safety 3 and found empty of all but species o huge revolver-a deadly piece of mec h Q anism, but of no great intrinsic value v Somebody else had been beforehand il r getting through the wall
