Nothing Mean Ahout Them.

A gentleman who was recently stand
ing in front of the Opera House was
approached by tramp who seemed to
have tears in his eyes. as he said:
Say, mister, my wife is dying, and
want to get twenty-five cents to buy
some medicine"
Before any answer could be made, a
second tramp came from the other
direction and halted, and asked: j.
Say. mister. can't you lend me
quarter I've got to get something for
my cough, or I'll be dead before snow
fiies.h
Here you are-one wants quarter
to save his dying wife, and the other
wants quarter to cure his cough. Now
what shall do about itp'
lis your cough very badp'' asked
tramp No. of No. 2.
"T-terrible p coughed No. 2, in re-
ply.
s.Well, there's nothing mean about
me- continued No. 1. '.This is my
second wife, and no great shakes at
that. and maybe the medicine wouldn't
help her any. I'll waive all claims,
and he may hand you quarter"
30, [ c-couldn't t-think of it,
coughed the other. s.Maybe I'll get
over this, while your p-poor wife GER
tainly needs medicine"
'.Well. here's quarter for each of
you,n said the citizen. as he witnessed
their unselfishness. and while he halted
on the next corner to tell a friend that
the world was growing better, the two
philanthropists halted block the other
way to play pigeon-hole for the drinks.

Imitation Canoes,

Many of the imitation canoes which
flood the market and are sold for
trifie are made of soapstone. The pro-
cess has long been a secret, but has
lately been disclosed. After the cut
ting and engraving. which is of course
easily done, the stones are enclosed in
an air-tight crucib1e, which is placed in
an oven between Goals, kept reddish
white heat for several hours, and al
lowed to cool slowly. The stones when
taken out will be so hard as Co give
sparks when struck with steel, and to
resist the best heat. This operation
changes steatite to milk-white. while
the naturally-colored stone turns gray
or reddish. Different colors may be
given to either with such as will dis
solve in amber varnish, or with colors
dissolved in spirits of turpentine, which
are more vivid, or with solutions of
saffron, gamboyl, campeche wood,
dragon s-blood, ETC., in alcohol, in
which the cooled steatite must be inn
mersed for several hours. The tinge
penetrates about one-eight line. TIE
stone is polished in the usual manner
with emery, tripoli, and tin ash, and
receives a beautiful appearance resemb-
ling agate, jasper, chalcedony, etc.

Rats That Endowed Fun.

A good rat story is told by lady who
lives in Baltimore, which shows that
rats have a kind of humor about them
at times which they will exercise even
to the extent of forgetting their plumber
ing propensities. In the house of this
lady was a child's rocking-Lorse and
every night the rats would jump on
the rocking-horse and start it rocking,
and rock it for hours, seemingly with
the greatest enjoyment in the world.
At first. hearing the noise, the people
couldn't imagine the cause, and didn't
know but that the spirits had a hand in
it; but when they cautiously peered out
and saw the performance, it became
one Of the marvels of the neighborhood
to see the rats in their gambols enjoy
ing themselves, laughing and having
their fun rocking the horse.

Gus ludicrous incidents aud small cata-

found for her, just inside the deck-house
door, where, enveloped in maeintoshes,
she fairly screamed with delight as the
men slithered and fell about on the

Convenient Wedding Presents.

The giving of bank checks as pres
ents at weddings by the fathers of con-
tracing parties is becoming quite fash
ionabIe. The guests are not supposed
to know whether the donors have or
have not bank accounts, hence the GUS
tom will become widespread one. 1t
is nice thing to have people talk
about and looks very nice in the papers.
which are carefully informed of the
fact that mir. Blanks gift to the bride
was n check for $25, 00o." After the
wedding the checks can be destroyed
and the world be none the wiser. An
official OF bank on which one of these
checks was given was present at GER
emory and created sensation by as
sorting that the giver had not a dollar
on deposit; but such q thing might not
occur again in century.

A georgia paDer tells an amusing
story of how an unframed steer troubled
several negroes who attempted to drive
the animal home to his purchaser. The
OK was driven from the pasture, and
started on the road to Crawford. For
the first half mile he gave but little
trouble but while going down lane
he suddenly realized the fact that he
s'wanted to go back home,n and made
q bolt for the drivers. They held their
ground till they saw that the OK was
dangerous, when an ionominious stam-
pede commenced One of the drivers
escaped By scaling a fence, while others
scattered to the right and left, but an
old negro named John Deadwyler was
not so fortunate. He was pressed so
close that he had to escape behind q
tree, when commenced q tilt between
man and steer. The OK chased him
around until his head began to swim,
but during temporary lull, while his
steership was lighting fly, John
started up that tree. But he was not
quick enough The animal sprang at
the man, and caught his horn in his
clothing. For several minutes there
was an exciting contest; the negro
trying to escape, while the steer did
his best to pull him down. AT last, the
hold of the horn broke, and the old
darkey went up that sapling like q sky
rocket. He was kept there for over an
hour before the animal decided to give
up the siege and depart for home.
As the beast vanished in the distance
John yelled after him, Else member

Single Women.

A clever old maid once said that it
was far better to be laughed at because
YOU were not married than not to be
able to laugh because you were. There
is sound logic i'll that. It is well for
woman to marry If she meets a good,
true man who loves her and whom she
loves; but if she be not suited, better,
that she remain single. The majority
Of old maids are helpful, lovable and
sweet-tempered, and fill their allotted
niche as acceptable as do their married
sisters. Are tiiey not more to be hon
ored than they would have been had
they married merely for home or
position? Our young ladies have erron-
eous ideas upon this subject. They
feel almost disgraced, if they have ar
rived at a mature age, and are not yet
able to write Mrs. before their names.
Their whole ambition is to get hus-
band, by hook or crook, but get him
somehow they must. Consequently
they take the first man who offers him.
self, whether he really suits them or
not. Now, girls, do not marry in haste.
Get the best education possible, help
about domestic affairs, and enter upon
some trade OF profession for which you
have O taste and master it. Skilled
labor is always well paid. Don't
spend your time repining because you
cannot see the coming man. LII you
never see him. you can live useful, hap
by lives. You think if you had hus-
band, you would have a strong arm on
which to lean, sharer of sorrow and
trouble. Alas! many slender woman
has had not only TO stand alone, but
also serve as prop for children and
husband, and very few wives finds in
their husbands all the sympathy and
companionship they desire. II you are
good for anything you viii not be hurt
by remaining single, neither will you
be elevated by becoming ''John's wife. "
DO your duty in life and you viii count
for one in the world, whether married
or simple.
