The Best Thing for Pap

When John Gilbert was walked
out to be tried for drunkenness q boy
about fourteen years old rose up and
walked forward to the bar and said
to the court =
"He's my old pap"
"Well, prisoner, the charge against
you is drunkenness" said his
Honor.
81 deny it y was the prompt re-
sponse.
"Now, see here, pap" said the boy
as he faced around, ''there amt no
use in your acting that way. You
was drunk, and you might as well
own up. Lying amt no good when
forty men saw you staving blind"
swell, / guess | was drunk"
Il think you have been here sew
eral times before" observed the
court.
'No, sir-no, sir-never here be-
fore, and I'll leave it to Tommy"
'Oh pap, what q liar !" sighed
the boy. ''You have been here three
times this spring"
swell, then, | have" growled the
old man.
Il think l told you / should send
you up if you came again"
mo, sir, you didn't hope to die
if you did p
Now, pap, you know he did. He's
been powerful kind to you, and you
shouldn't tell lies"
"Well, then, he told me So"
Il guess I'd better send him up
for sixty days." observed his Honor
to the boy.
Yes, about sixty" was the re-
ply.
Il won't be sent y shouted the
old man.
"Oh, yes you viii. They've got
the law on you, pap. and they kin
chuck you up as easy as eatin'
crackers"
"Well, then, I'll CO."
"Yes, go right along. Nam and
| will come to see We purity often,
and it'll do We good to git clear of
whisky. Go long, pap, and good
bye to We"
Il hate to, but l WILL Goodbye,
Tommy"
The boy went out whistling, and
the father sat down in the corridor
and muttered that Thomas was
probably correct in having him sent
up, though he should miss the big
end of the berry season.-Detroit

Economy in Fuel.

DR.. c. w. Seimens thinks it about
time that the economical use of fu-
el should be practiced in our offices
and our homes, as well as in large
manufacturing establishments. He
has devised crate which gives out
fine heat without noxious gases in
to q room-a CRATE which is very
cleanly and which meets fairly the
requirements of economy in con-
struction and use. There is no pat
ent on this CRATE. An iron dead
plate is rivieed at right angles to a
stout copper plate facing the back
of the CRATE and extending five inch
es above and below, where the iron
plate joins it. The dead plate stops
short about an inch from the bot
tom bar of the CRATE to make room
for a half-inch gas pipe which is
penetrated with small holes arrang-
ed zig-zag On its upper surface. This
pipe rests on a lower plate bent
downward toward the back so as to
form a vertical and horizontal chan
mel of about one inch in breadth be-
tween the two plates. A trap-door
in the lower plate below the gas pipe
serves. to remove the ashes. The
vertical portion of the channel con-
tains strip of sheet copper arrang-
ed like frill and rivited to the
back. This frill ofcopper conducts
the heat from the back and sets up
current of air in the channel, and
this air forces the small gas-jets OF
the perforated pipe to burn brightly.
Instead of the pumice stone, the
front Of the CRATE is filed with coke
or anthrocite, to which the heat OF
the gas-jets is transferred. DIR. Sic
mems says that he holds it almost
barbarous to use raw coal for any
purpose and that the time will come
when all our fuel will be separated
into its two constituents before
reaching our factories or domestic
hearths.

While strolling through the woods
at Gognac Lake yesterday afternoon
/ suddenly came across half dozen
birds of the variety known as brown
thrush or mocking bird. They
were all busy working at some OBJ
ject on the ground, and did not no
tice my intruding until | was upon
them, when, with shrill cry, they
few of short distance and perch
ed on the trees to watch my move
ments. Having my curiosity arous-
ed, l went to examine what / thought
was a nest of young birds, when to
nv surprise 1 found the dead body
of a female thrush, which had been
killed by o shot from a hunters gun
and had fallen where it lay. The
birds which / noticed about it had
been covering it over with leaves,
eticks, little tufts of grass, ETC., until
only its feet stuck out. Immedi-
ateiy the story of the babes in the
wood covered with leaves by robins
came to my mind and all seemed
real as the time when in childhood
/ read the story and believed it to
be true. Anxious to see what the
birds would do l stepped back Of q
large tree to o little distance and
watched them. Slowly the birds
came back one by one and contin.
ued the work of burying the dead
bird. While engaged hopping about
after leaves and grass they would
chirp in low, melancholy key
what / took to be the dirge notes OF
the little birds funeral. i did not
have it in my heart to disturb them
and watched them at their labors
for q full half hour, at the end OF
which time the dead bird was COM
pletely buried.

A colored man living on Illinois

"If you don't fix that sign all the
