BABY'S LEGACY.

woman had been driven away from 8
tenement on Division street to pauper's
grave, half dozen women gathered in
the bare room to act as executors. Law
did not enter with them. There was not
enough there to attract the vulture. The
bed was old and poor-only fit for bon
fire. The stove would hardly pay for
removal. Three or four old chairs, q
table, few pieces of crockery-eyen the
poorest who had gathered there had no
use for them. And yet woman and her
babe had lived there among the shadows
for long months. No, it is not living; it
was dragging out the hours-waiting for
another sunset-for another sunrise-for
the coming of the glad relief. When the
body has long been i'll and soulsick-
when days and nights and weeks and
months have brought nothing but cold
and hunger and groans Of despair, the
dread of death is nothing. The coming
of the shadow is even hailed with glad
satisfaction.
And so they had lived; and one night
when the winds howled dreariIy and the
snowfakes whirled through the broken
panes, the mother and her boy slept
she to awaken no more on earth. His
little hands were toying with her cold,
dead face when they found him. They
took him away, and he smiled when they
said, stPoor babel You are alone now!"
When the mother had gone to her mar
row home they crept up stairs to the dis
NAL room, and one of them said:
eve have found home for the child,
but he must not forget his mother. Let
us look for his legacy
And so they searched old dresses, and
peered into the dark corners and rever-
emily opened the old boxes at the foot of
the bed. One found an old scrap book; !;
another necklace of beads. another a
knot of ribbon, and when the search was
ended. there on the table was heap Of
relics which they wept over. There was
something there which told of girls
love; there was something there which
told of marriage-of happiness-of hus-
bands death-of deep sorrow and bitter
poverty. An auctioneer would have
turned away in contempt-a rag buyer
would not have gathered them up, and
yet these women, each with the heart of
mother, handled each relic with fresh
tears. There was no story in them for a
man-there was whole ife's history in
them for woman. They had not found
even penny in money-not an article
thut would bring dime-not even sufi-
cient property there to call for removal,
and yet they had found something there
of more value than gold or diamonds
There was a legacy for the babe. There
was faded tin type of father and moth
er, some letters stained with tears, two
locks of hair pinned to the same card
more to him than if the old boxes had
been full of bright dollars. Only by
them will he recall the dead-will he re-
alize mothers love and devotion-will
he know that one dark morning women
crept up the stairs and found him pratt
tling to the dead. Money might have
worked his ruin. Those relics on which
mothers tears have fallen-over which
mothers prayers have assembled to
heaven-will be holy light to guide him
through the deepest gloom.-Detroit

poor brute got beneath a seat and tried
to curl up. The car was hot and it
warmed the wasps and they came out,
and in about half minute the men in
that seat jumped up SO hard they
nearly stove holes in the roof, and the
way they clawed at their legs was eau
ton. Everybody looked. Then others

the show. AS the train was flying, folks
couldn't jump off. No mad house ever
saw such a scene. There was profanity
enough to sink a ship, and the brakeman
gazing in at the door said it beat any
thing he ever saw at variety show.
Finally the conductor stopped the train,
folks got out, and the car cleared of
wasps and dog. But the passengers
didn't get over it. They were an awful
mad set, and occasionally after they got
started again man would find a stray

The Ruins of YUcatan

DR.. Augustus Plongeon, now examin-

England Historical and Genealogical So
ciety: 81 have discovered among the
ruins Of Mayapan the gromon used By the
astronomers Of that city, also complete
Masonic temple with symbols and hero
glyphics. have found the portraits of
the founders of cities, and interpreted
the meaning of certain ornaments that
have been misunderstood by other
travellers. I have ascertained that the
key to the ancient Maya alphabet is the
true one, and by it's means Mrs. DR..
Plongeon and myself have been able to
read the names of the founders and those
Of the cities. [ have found that this
alphabet contains letters and characters
belonging to the Egyptians, Etruscan
and Chaldean alphabets, and also that
the Maya language is akin to all the an
cient languages spoken by men in ages
long gone by. Ny studies have caused
me to believe that the founders of the
first Chaldean monarchy were Maya, and
probably the first people who colonized
Egypt and brought civilization into that
country. You must remember that the
Egyptian priests always pointed to the
west when asked concerning the birth
place of their ancestry"

The Rapacious Sparrow.

4 few years ago Australia welcomed
with many demonstrations of joy the ar
rival of few pairs OF English sparrows.
To-day there is premium of sixpence
per dozen upon the heads of the little
creatures, which have multiplied to an
amazing extent amid their congenial sur
roundings, are a source of great loss
to fruit growers. Before the commission
appointed to inquire into the matter one
witness said that in the short space of
ten days the gparrows took ton and a
half of grapes. They stripped the figs
off five trees, and kept low fifteen acres
of lucerne during the summer. Another
complains that in the season they took
ESQ worth of fruit; while a third de-
clares that he sowed peas three times,
and each time they we're destroyed by
the sparrows. Neither apricots, cher
ries, figs, apples, grapes, peaches,
plums, pears, nectarines, loquats,
olives, wheat, barley, oats, cabbages,
caulifowers nor seeds, nor fruit of any
kind are spared by the sparrows' omniv-
orous bill; and all means of defense
tried against it's depredations, whether
scarecrows, traps, netting, shooting, or
poisoning, are declared to be insufficient
to cope with the enemy.

A Drummer's Brilliant Idea,
From the Boston Post. !


Some people seem born with the facul.
ty of raising the ancient masculine iuven-
lie. They get folks who are minding then
own business and merely want peace and
quiet into all sorts Of scrapes. This
faculty is peculiarly developed in the
commercial tourist usually referred
to as drummer. He's the man who
makes love to all the pretty servant girls
in the hotels and gets their notions SO
high that they wont notice the porters,
and it makes the latter want to g slug u
the drummers. One of this class of
gentlemen was at an up-country railway
station some days ago, and while wait
ing for train, discovered wasp's nest.
An idea at once struck him. How he
achieved the feat without being hurt we
don't know. Probably the wasps were
dormant with cold. But at any rate, he
got the nest down and tied it to the tail
OF large yellow dog that was footing
around the depot. The dog started to
run and that so stirred up the wasps
that they sent courier to investigate,
and as he did so in manner disagree
able to the dog, he only ran the harder
and made three wild circuits of the de.
pot. The train meanwhile came in, anC
as trains don't stop long at country sta
lions, 1t was Just starting as the dog
came around the third time. Wild witt
pain, the dog leaped aboard the trai1
and plunged into the crowded car, jus

THE most memorable cleaning that
ever was done with soft soap was when
it cleaned out band of savages. Soft
soap was first most effectually used in
this country by the Swedish women who
defended the old Swedish Church below
Philadelphia, before the city was laid
out. A friendly squaw gave notice of an
intended attack by the Indians. The
Scandinavian women were boiling soap.
They at once concluded to turn it into a
weapon of defense. They lifted the
caldron into the church, with wood to
light and keep it hot. AS the warriors
began to undermine the foundation they
received on their backs spirited fire OF
the terrible material, which in due time
sent them bowling into the wilderness.
