A Relic Hunter Caught.

Referring to mistaken ideas about
relics recalls the story in German
paper about q certain professor, which
is a parallel of the Bill Stumps adven.
tuTo of Pickwick. A German antiauary
made the delightful discovery that
stone placed over n stable door bore the
inscription 1881. II must have this in
my collection, cost whatit may. +" thought
the savant. Calling a tenant farmer,
who was the proprietor, the profess
sor said to him eagerly Did you not
obtain this stone from the castle ruin
on tho hill yonder p 1T may be that
my grandfather fetched il thence when
he built the static" was the reply. The
antiquary then asked what he would
take for the stone. "Since you ap.
pear 70 have = fancy tor it," said the
farmer, "give me forty guilders and ]
will bring II to your house" Rather
large sum-" said the professor; but
bring II to my residence and you shall
have the money"
When in due course the farmer
brought the stone upon q truck, the
jealous antiquary turned IL over to re-
fresh his eyes with the sight of it's ven
erable chronological inscription, not
without anxiety that IL might have been
damaged in its removal. why" he
exclaimed, what is this This is not
the right stone. On the stone I bought
from you was the date 1881, while this
bears the very modern date 1901, which
proves that the other was exactly 100
years older than this" "Do not trou-
BILE about that" said the peasant "The
masons, you sec, sir, turned The stone
upside down when they set II in the
doorway, because II fitted better that
way. You can turn Il whichever way
you like, but of course, ! must have
the money agreed upon" The pro-
fessor, Il IL said, 1T once paid the whole
sum, and gave the man present besides
to take away the stone and say no more
about the matter. Chambcrs' Journal.

The New York Elevated Roads.

But few persons who have not been
in New York since the construction OF
the elevated roads and witnessed their
equipments and operations can have
any adequate idea of the extent of them,
and OF the people, machinery and ap-
purtenances required in working them.
A recent inventory discloses the fact
that there are II miles OF roadway. 16l
stations, 203 engines and Gl2 cars, while
$3.50 trains day are run. There are
3,274 men employed on these roads, 300
of whom are engineers, 25S ticket
agents, 231 conductors, 30S firemen,
395 guards or brakemen, 3i7
gatemen, q road inspectors, 106
porters, 33 carpenters, 27 painters, SO
car-inspectors, 40 car-cleaners, 40lamp-
men, and 40 blacksmiths, boiler
makers and other mechanics employed
on the structure and in the shops. Most
of the ticket-agents are telegraph opera
tors, bat there are 13 other operators
employed. There are four. .double-track
lines in operation. The aggregate
daily receipts vary from sl4, 900 to sls.-
600; and as many as 27i, G23 passengers
have been carried in one day.f Engineers
are paid from SO to $3.50 per day {;
ticket-agents sI.75 to 81 %; conductors,
s1.9O to $3.50; fremen, s19O to 80
guards or brakemen, Sl.50to Sl.65; and
gatemen, sl.20 to $3.50. The above
items do not include machinists and
other employees in the workshops, or the
general officers, clerks, etc. One OF
the elevated railroad companies owns 4
curiosity shop of articles lost or left on
their trains. There are 1000 umbrellas
and half as many canes shelves filed
with shop parcels ; children's school
books; laborers' tools and dinner pals;
novels; handsome new Bible; lunch
baskets; black bottles; two large baskets
full OF pocket books, mostly women's
on their way home from shopping, and
consequently little in them; bushels Of
travelling bags; a big bass drum; q rab-
bit and poodle dog One woman who

did not give any reward, but did not

Two Love Letters.

A midd!e-aged lady, who lives in
Chicago, has two love letters, faded but
ardent, which are not withouta certain
interest of their own. The strong
mans hand that penned these tender
effusions does not now support the
gentle being who has preserved them
all these years. But whether he was q
rejected suitUr, or whether her whit
ening ringlets rest upon the bosom of
one more favored, or whether che be
maid or widow, is not disclosed by the
brief paragraph which tells OF
the existence of the letters in
question. Perhaps the lovers quar-
relied, as lovers will, and
parted to meet no more until one or
both had made other arrangements.
Perhaps there was n stern papa, heart
less mamma, maneuvering elder sister,
a blundering big brother. poverty,
separation, hopeless i'll health. Who
knows7 Perhaps the lady has often
regretted. Perhaps the gentleman yet
goes to sleep dreaming of the lady.
On the other hand, when she saw him
driven from q little place he had
earned by hard, and not very edify-
ing work, as unfit to hold it-when
she heard him described as bad man
by friends and foes--she may have
blessed her stars that she made so
lucky an escape. Such things do hap
pen; or mayhsp when his fortunes were
darkest she yearned most to be by his
side, 10 strengthen and TO cheer his
heart, to show what true and loving
woman can do when man Is down.
Heigh-ho 1t Is certain this lady has
the letters and that she values them.
And we'll she may, dear heart for the

Frightened Into Lanacy.

4 recent occurrence in Youngstown,
Ohio, has given q fearful warning to
the pestilent tribe of practical jokers.
A young man named Henry Waters,
somewha. prone to superstition, and OF
a rather timorous nature, had been in
the habit Of keeping a pistol at the
head Of his bed where he could reach
it upon the slightest warning. For the
purpose Of enjoying an exhibition Of
his terror a party of young men secret
ly drew the bullets from the cartridges,
leaving the powder undisturbed, and
one of them, wrapped In q sheet. en-
tered his room at midnight, while the
rest waited near by. He swoke in
great alarm and, after > warning, fired
at the figure. The bullet was thrown
back against the headboard OF the bod.
This operation was repeated until the
cartridges had ali been discharged, and
then the victim of q practical joke fell
back upon his pillow with . scream.
When the lights we're brought the mis-
eTable fools found their friend a Faving
maniac, and he is likely to remain one
for the rest Of hts life.

Whatever limit sincerity imposes
upon our words. let us obey even il it

not 80 narrow as this, let us cherish an

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
True Greniness.

Ignoring or quickly forgetting per
sonal injuries is characteristic of true
greatness, when meaner natures would
be kept in unrest by them. The less OF
a man person is, the more he makes OF
an injury or an insult. The more OF a
man he is, the less he is disturbed by
what others say or do against him
without cause. "The sea remembers
not the vessels rending keel, but rushes
ioyously the ravage to conceal" 1t is
the tiny streamlet which is kept in a
sputter by stick thrust into it's waters
bya willful boy.
