"GTVE Me A SINGLE LINE"

The Detroit Free Press tells the follow
ing pathetic story of d wasted life and
"turned rule"
LESS than three months ago the wreck
of q man staggered into the office of a
weekly paper in eastern Michigan, and
asked for money to buy whisky. Strange
lY enough the publisher was an old school
mate. They were apprentices in the
same town. They worked side by side as
finished compostors One had sobriety
and thrift-the other had good heart
and an open hand Twenty years made
the one rich and infuential-the other
drunkard who slept in the gutter as often
as in bed. The one had made use Of
what God had given him, but the other
had deliberately made himself wreck.
The meeting called up host of recollec-
tOns, and the contrast between their sit
uations was 50 great that the old drunk
ard was sobered as be realized it, He
was offered work, but he had become too
broken. The stick and the rule were no
longer for him. He was offered tempo
rary home, but he looked at his rags and
felt his shame for the first time in months.
When money was handed him he waved
it back, and said: 81 shall not want it.
| ask, in the name of olden days as
ellow-craftsman, one little favor" "1t
shall be granted" "When you know
that | am dead then turn a rule for me
and give me single line" The prom
ise was made, and the old wreck foated
out again on the current of life, borne
here and there, and feeling that death
was to be the end. Yesterday a copy of
the weekly reached the Free Press with
proof that the editor had fulfilled his
promise. He had turned rule for the
poor wreck, and had given but line:
"Died, Sept. 81, 1882, George White"
That was all, but in that line was such
a sermon as no man on earth could de
liver. For every word there was year
of woe and degradation. For every let
ter there were tears and heartachss and
promises and failures"

HOW TO TURN A BIRD RED.

"Pm going to let you iuto a great Sc
cret and one that [ am certain is not
known to the majority Of bird dealers.
In 1870, Emile Porden, Frenchman,
opened aviary in Paris, and made a
specially of dealing in canaries. He had
an enormous cage which held nearly a
thousand of the feathered songsters,
whose combined warbling must have been
something terrible. Strange to say, every
bird was of a deep red color, and the
novelty of the thing attracted attention
The Frenchman did not hesitate to show
the young birds in their natural feathers,
and older ones gradually changing their
color from yellow to red, but he refused
to divulge how the change was brought
about. Red canary birds became the
rage in Partisan society, and Porden was
enabled to retire in few years with
quite respectable fortune. In 1878
the old Frenchman died, but on his
deathbed he told how he had produced
red canaries. And how do you think :?
Simply by seasoning their food with cay
enne pepper just before and during the
molting season. When the plumage ap-
pears it is red instead of yellow. The
health of the bird is not injured in the
least by the treatment; in fact, it is i'm
proved.

CRAZE OF CLEANLlNEss.-Cleanliness
in Holland is a mania-almost craze.
1t is the only thing in which they are
extremists, and though the leaning is to

Iioneth part of speck of dirt to be found
IN any of their houses, and as for vermin
it is unknown. A spider is a Holland
woman's especial aversion, and such a
thing as bed-bug would arouse street
into action. Their beds are miracles of
cleanliness, and their floors are scrubbed
till they shine again.

age Amsterdam woman is divided up

breakfast of coffee and bread; 9 to 10,
scrubbing outside the house; 10 to IL,
scrubbing the sidewalk; II to II, prep

The GROWTH OF New YORK CITY,
The statistics of travel on the omnibus,
the surface and the elevated railroad
lines furnish some excellent data with
respect to the growth in population and
the commercial development of the city.
According to table just compiled from
the report of the State Engineer, it ap-
pears that the total number of passen-
gers transported upon the horse railroads
and omnibuses in 1877 was ia, ,492.S31.
In 1880 the number of passengers was
102, ,320,047, loss Of II, ,172,784. In
that year, however, the Sixth and Third
Avenue elevated railroads carried 52,-
414,451 passengers. The total number
of passengers on all the lines-onnibus,
street car and elevated railroads, except
the Second and Ninth Avenue air lines,
in 1886 was 154, 734,398, which is equiv
aIent to a gain of 35 per cent. in three
years. If, during this period, there had
been some great and exceptional de-
mancs upon the different lines of con-
veyance-as there was, for instance, in
Philadelphia, some months ago on the
occasion of the Penn celebration-these
figures would be utterly valueless; but
all the conditions were normal, and the
data must therefore be accepted as one
of the measures of our growth and pro-
gress,-New York Herald.

TWELVE CHILDREN UNDER 6 YEARS.
Among the immigrants at Bonaventure
depot, yesterday, were George Kelsey, a
native of the west of England, and 42
years of age, and his wife, from the same
part. The twain had been married Is
years Within six years they have had
twelve children, namely triplets no less
than twice, twice doublets, and twice
''singlets.,' AS the parents sat in the de-
pot surrounded by their offspring, the
Youngest, an infant in arms, the eldest
looking little more than infant, they were
the sui bjects of the greatest interest, and
many were the questions asked the happy
mother, especially by the feminine por-
ton of those in the depot awaiting the
arrival of the train. The children were
healthy and robust, and the father and
mother might be described as the same.
The neither stated that her little ones
had known no sickness more than the
ordinary complaints incident to child

An army of men are now engaged in
logging operations in the Chippewa and

inches deep. Roads leading from camps
distant from railroads are lined with tote

The amount of provisions consumed lr.
the lumber camps during the season is

This is an age ofrapid book making,
We have the fact forcibly exemplified
in the announcement ofan illustrated
volume containing the lives of the
Jarnes and Younger Brothers, includ-
ing an exhaustive account of the
recent successful methods of pursuit of
the noted robbers under the direction
of Gov. Crittenden, and the final cul.
mination in the tragedy of the killing
of Jesse James in st. Joseph, Mo. AS
giving interest to this narration the
profnsenesss of illustration is a notice
able feature. Additional to the cuts
illustrating persons, scenes and Incl.
dents in the 20 years career of out
lawry, are those from photographs of
the persons and surroundings in the
last act of the drama. They include
pictures of Jesse James before and
after death, his young wife and two
children, the mother and sister of the
outlaw, the detectives, Fords, who did
the killing, and the house in which the
deed was enacted. 1t includes, also
a we'll executed full page likeness of
Gov. Crittenden who devised the
means of breaking up the bard, and
relieved Missouri Of the stigma of
"The Bandit State" 1t is graphic
both in statement and illustration of
this sensational tragedy that termi.
mates the long and wonderful career Of
this noted outlaw. The entire history
was writton by Dr. Dacus from facts
given him by family aud friends ofth
outlaws, and attested by fnal events.
The repeated interviews with the
young wife strkingly corroborate the
thoroughness and accuracy of what
had been previously given in this vol
ume. As a record Of contempOraneous
history it will excite the interest and
wonder Of every reader-wonder that
such career Of bold, reckless, sue.
cessful outlawry could extend through
period of 20 years before meeting
with tragic termination.
As giving the social and domestic
life of an outlaws family, it is of alb.
sorbing interest.
1t constitutes a page in American
history Of startling character, and will
enlist the attention of the thoughtful
as we'll as the cursory reader.
The work is published for the sub
scription trade by N. d. Thompson &
Co., st. Louis, Mo, and affords agents
chance for rapid and profitable sales.

umn.
