Making Things Over.

Maria said Mr. Jones. upon one
OF his worrying days. sit seems 10 me
you might be more economical; now,
there's my old clothes, why can't you
make them over for the children, in
stead of giving them away?"
Because they're worn out when
you're done with them" answeredMrs-
Jones. ats no use making over things
for the children that won't hold togeth-
er; you could NIT do it yourself, smart
as you are"
WELL" grumbled Jones, "Iwouldn't
have closets full of things mildewing
for want of wear, if I was a woman,
that's all. A penny saved is a penny
earned.''
That was in April. One warm day
q May Mr.. Jones went prancing through
the CLOSETS, looking for something he
couldn't find, and turning things gen.
orally inside out.
maria, he screamed, ''where's my
gray alpaca duster?'
made it over for johnny
'tAhem! Well, there's the brown
linen one bought last summerp"
''Clothes-bagn' mumbled Mrs. Jones,
who seemed to have difficulty in her
speech at that moment. "Just made
it into q nice one"
''Where are my lavender pants ?"
yelled Jones.
Cut them over for Willie"
''Heavensr' groaned her husband ;
then, in a voice of thunder, stWhere
have my blue suspenders got top
Hung the baby-jumper with them. !"
'.Mariar' asked the astonished man.
in subdued voice, s'would you mind
telling me what you have done with
my silk hat you have MT made that
over for the baby, have you?'
'+Oi no, DEAR" answered his wife,
cheerfully; 'I've used that for hang
ing-basket. It is full of plants and
looks lovely"
Mr.. Jones never mentions the word
economy, or suggests making over-he
has had enough of it.

A Well Punished Thief.

A very daring pick-pocket was given
o lesson in Park-row recently that he
will not be likely to forget in week
or two. 1t was at about 3 o'clock, and
the latest news from Washington had
Just been posted on the Times bulletin
board. Several hundred persons were
pressing eagerly up TO the corner, and
people were packed in close. Among
the searchers for news was rather
short but we'll made gentleman, dressed
in brown suit, and with a gold watch
chain stretched across his vest. he
was nearly in the middle of the crowd,
with his eyes upon the bulletin-board,
when young man of about twenty,
passably well dressed, but with the
look of a thief on his face, passed up to
him and grabbed his watch-chain. He
gave it heavy jerk and the chain or
the vest gave way, but the watch. re-
manned in the vest pocket. The watch's
owner, feeling the thug, saw the thief
with the chain in his hand, and, in
stead of Selling him, he drew back his
right hand and gave him a blow
squarely in the face that staggered him.
He followed this Immediately with
well-directed s1eft-hander" that sent
the thief reeling through the crowd
The owner of the watch followed him
and seized him by the coat-collar. The
thief at this turned and tried to wrench
himself loose. He no sooner turned
his head, however. than the gentleman
gave him two more lessons in honesty,
one with the right fist the other with
the left. The thief was n very good
squirmer, and he at length succeeded
in freeing himself and ran across Park
row followed by about a hundred men.
In front of tie upper end of the Post
Office some one with conspicuous
white hat, who did not care to stop the
thief, watched his chance and gave him
a singing blow in the face. The pick
pocket was about half way across
Broadway when an officer in citi zen $
clothes seized him and retained his
hold AS the thief was marched back
across Park-row he looked as if he had
been run through a threshing-machine-
He was locked up.-N. I. Times.

Indian Relics in Maine.

One of the most interesting localities
and one of the latest unearthed IN tins
vicinity is the Indian place of execution
or torture on Fort Island at the mar
rows, near the mouth of the Damaris-
Gotta River. A few days ago, while
Postmaster Carnage and Mr.. Phelps
were hunting for relics at the above
named place, they discovered among
numerous fish spears. needles and ar
rowheads, the remains of five skele-
tons, apparently Indians-the skulls.
showing very low order of intellect
one skull of which they were able to
get out nearly perfect which is now in
the possession of DIR. Chapman. They
found five under7jaSs, one of them
nearly perfect but none of them would
fit the skulls. One skull was very
large; they judged it to be nearly
twice the seize of the average, but so
far decayed that with the utmost care
it could not be moved from the place
where it lay. These skeletons did not
lie in any regular order, but appeared
TO have been burned at q stake, as q
space of six feet square or more was
covered with ashes. charcoal aud rocks
that had been exposed to fire. The
skulls were nearly face down and but
few other bones could be removed
whole. The appearance indicated that
there had been numerous victims

Western Ronanzas.

The Sun is in receipt of a number of
exchanges from the states and terrific
ries where silver and gold mining is in
dulged in, and to read the reports OF
the rich strikes that are being made
every hour in the day and night, and
the millions upon millions of dollars
worth of ore that is in sight, all ready
to knock off with club, we are led to
wonder how it is that there is poor
man anywhere west of the Missouri riy-
err It would seem that every man
must have all the money he wants, and
vet we are told that even in Colorado
there are men who are not rich, men
who even suffer for the necessaries of
life Men who have mines that are full
of ore assaying hundreds of dollars to
the ton actually fail in business at
times. The fact is that while there Is
silver in plenty out there, it takes as
much work to get it rs it does to raise
crops of grain on the farm, and where
one strikes it rich ninety and nine walk
money that is made in mining is made
from those who carry money to the
mines from the states Ninety-nine
times in a hundred not enough is struck
to pay for the time fooled away, and
the abandoned hole is all that anybody
has to show for the outlay. 1t is esti-
mated that in twenty years Colorado
will be one vast gopher hole. A few
men will be rich and settle down in
Denver and other pretty places and live
and die, while hundreds of thousands
will 60 somewhere else and dig more
holes, or occupy graves with no marks
to show who they were. and people in
the states WHO sent their money and
didn't go. will thank their stars. Wis
consin should stop sending money out
west.-Peck' Sun.

An Ingenious Device.

A Missouri farmer named S. III.
Terry, OF Guthrie, recently arrived in
this city with q model of a cable rail-
road, which embraces a number of i'm
provements of his own invention, that
he claims will be of immense advantage
to street railway companies. The first
and most important Improvement is a
plan of laying the track by which the
disturbance of the street or road over
which it runs is rendered unnecessary.
By his plan the boxes and cable will is
placed upon the ties now in no use, and
a saving of 800, 900 per mile, he claims,
will be effected in construction. An
other improvement is the removal of
all difficulties attending upon crossings
and switches. BY a simple device,
when crossing is reached, the bottom
fange of the side of the champ comes
in contact with the top of the guide, SO
that the clamp is raised till il passes
over the cross pope, and then as soon
as the guides are passed it drops with
its own weight and seizes hold of the
cable again. There Is also an adjust
ment on the clamp by which an auto
matte switch can be worked when il is
desired to run off on a side track. An
other attachment 10 the clamp is a
spring running on either side of it a
sufficient distance back to prevent tho
shock which would occur without it,
every time the clamp takes hold of tho
cable. To prevent the slipping of rails
ing OF the cable from its position in the
grooves on the top OF the ties, there are
beveled clasps placed ut points along
the line where most danger Of this hap.
pening is likely TO be. One lever opens
the clamp and brakes the car. Mr..
Terry says tho South Side Company
has resalyed to use his patent for
switches and crossings. and he has no
| doubt that where new cable lines are 10

ing the track will be universally adop-
