40 Money in Id.
Worlds Journal.

A little boy, on his way to build
fires and sweep offices in Boston,
while the stars were yet in the skies,
told the writer:
my mother gets me up, builds
the fire and gets my breakfast and
sends me off. Then she gets my
father up, and gets his breakfast and
sends him off. Then she gets the
other children their breakfast, and
sends them to school, and then she
and the baby eats their breakfast"
Glow large is the baby?" | asked.
ooh, she is most two, but she can
talk and walk as we'll as any Of us. 7"
Are you well paid?"
Il ,get two dollars a week, and
my father gets two dollars a day.
"How much does your mother
get 2"
With a bewildered look, he Id /:
"Mother? Why, she don't work
for anybody"
II thought you said she worked
for ali of you?"
"Oh, yes-foT US she does but

Arabia pasiRsa.


The likeness of Arabia Pasha, as
given in the illustrated London Neics
indicates a most powerful man. His
broad shoulders, deep chest, large
neck powerfully joined to the body
and head; his large face, well defined,
with high cheek bones, powerful
nose, with broad nostrils, full round
vital chin, with powerful jaw,
joined to cold, fierce, determined
look, perfectly self-possessed, as
though it would say "nothing shall
hinder me from accomplishing my
ends,n all in harmony with a large,
heavy, broad base of the brain, and
every indication of a healthy organ
ization, and a powerful constitution.
In fact, the word po,Cer is written
in everything that can be seen in
the picture. He can remember all
past experiences, and keep himself
posted up as to what is going on.
He is very quick to see all the bear
ings and relations of things, to see
the application of Il principle, and
to make the most of what knowledge
he has. He may not deal with first
principles, but he has wonderful
power of applying principles that are
understood, and is very quick to
take hint, and learn much from a
little. He is q shrewd judge of hui
man nature and Of character. All
these powers joined to large Con-
structiveness, as appears in the full
ness Of the temples, give him great
availability Of talent. As head
man without anyone to control him,
and with the means to carry out his
plans, he is a power not to be despis-
ed. He is every inch soldier and
IS ~ his element when he is in the
midst of the thickest of the fight, or
experimenting vigorous action
Such an organization would not al
low anything to stand in his way.
Having his countrymen and his re-
ligion in view, his moral brain
what he may have of it-would i'm
pei him all the more jealous and pa
triotic for his own people, country,
and religion. He has all the make
up Of organization and the physiog-
n0mical expression of great powers
of determination and self.reliance.
He has predominance OF the vital
and motive temperaments, which
mean executive work done with
force and ispatch.-PhrenologjcaL

The New York Herald, commenting
upon Mr.. Watterson's article upon the
Chicago press, says: "The tendency to
improve is seen every day in the press,
and we are coming nearer and nearer to
Mr.. Watterson's ideal. Already in most
of our large cities there is a respectable
heightened press, accepted by the pub
lie as representing the profession, and
largely free from the Ishmaelism to
which Mr.. Watterson refers. In some
cities there has grown up fungus para
site press, living on defamation and
blackmal. The existence of this evil
only brings into contrast the better
features of the true newspaper. So
long as paper is cheap and the press is
free there viii be blackmail and SANDER.

Use OF Lemons.

For all people, in sickness or In
health, lemonade is a safe drink. It
corrects biliousness. It is a specific
against worms and skin complaints.
The pippins, crushed, may also be
mixed with water and sugar, and used
as drink. Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known. It not only
cures the disease. but prevents. Sail
ors make a daily use Of it for this pur-
pose. A physician suggests rubbing
the gums with it daily to keep them IN
health. The hands and nails are also
kept clean, white, soft and supple by the
daily use OF lemon instead of soap. 1t
also prevents chilblalns. Lemon is used
In intermittent fevers with strong, hot
black tea or coffee without sugar. Neu-
ralgia may be cured by rubbing the af-
fected parts with lemon. It is valua-
BILE, also, to cure warts and to destroy
dandruff ON the head, by rubbing the
roots Of the hair with it.-Rasral New

r..E ..eoucHr IN TURKEY.


Thre was IN Turkey, years ago,
A fearful drought He N must know.
The Turks to A1lAh prayed for rain,
On hands and Knees, but IL In vain.
OF weather-prophet quite score
We're strangled-still It wouldn't pour.
At hist the Turks met In despair,
When one arose-the wisest there,
And said: 1--WE need more help, we do;
Let's start the Jews spraying, tool"
No sooner said than done. That day
Each Jew was ordered out to pray,
But, like the Turks, they prayed In vain
The sun grew hotter, and the ground
Was burned tor miles and miles around.
The thirsty Turks, despairing more,
Assembled % they had before.
If this keeps on" the wise man said,
In my opinion, we'll be dead.
But there's another card to play:
Make all the dogs Of Christians pray"
At once each Christian was at work
A-praying, guarded by a Turk,
Who on the Prophets beard had sworn
TO kill each dog of them by morn
Unless it rained. So all that night
The Christians prayed with main and might.
The morning broke, and, 10 the rain
Came down in foods, nor would it deign
To cease till all the Turks around
Begged it to stop, lest they'd be drowned.
When it had cleared the Turks came out.
Forgetting there had been drought,
And mad that Christian dogs could pray
And get an answer right away.
"Our Allah loves us not !" they cried.

BIZ REV. HENRY KINGSLEY.


"The foeman hath fred the gate, men of mime.
And the water is spent and done,
DO bring me the cup of the red Aarwine-
shall never drink but this one.
1--WE stood my time I've fought my fight,
I've drunk my share Of wine
From Trier to Koln was never knight
Lived merrier life than mine
Those joys have fed, to return no more,
Yet, If must die on a tree,
The old saddle-tree that bore me Of yore
Is the properest timber for me-
sand now to show burgher, and bishop, and prizes
How the Atenahr hawk can die;

He must take to his wings and ny.
$50 saddle me up my old war-horse,
And lead him round to the door;
He must take tonight such leap perforce
As never man took before"
They sadded him up In warlike shine;
The knight stood in the door,
And he took such pull at the red Aarwine
As never man took before.
He led the horse up the steps high and wide,
And spurred him over the wall
Out into the storm, out into the night
Three hundred feet of fail!
They found him next morning in the glen,
And not bone in him whole;
And may God have mercy far more than men
On such brave riders soul.

Afraid of Being Cheated.

The uneducated mind does not see
through those forms by which business
is transacted. There is n well-known
story of two honest Dutch neighbors
One of them, Hans, borrowed twenty
dollars from the other, Jacob.
Mustn't give you writing for dis,
jacob" said honest Hans, as he pocketed
the money.
ssYah, dat is what they do, drinks.
Hans scrawled something which meant
that he had borrowed twenty dollars
from Jacob, and would repay him as
soon as he could. He handed it to
Jacob.
"No, I don't keep this" answered
Jacob, scratching his head, as if in doubt.
''You must keep so dat you'll know you
owe me de money"
A similar perplexity as to a written
promise to pay, once sent an honest but
ignorant hosier out of court room, in
hot haste, lest he should be cheated. In
the early days of Indiana, the lawyer
used to follow the courts in the different
counties. s'Riding the circuit" it was
called, and demanded horses that could
struggle through mud-roads and SWIM
over deep, rapid streams.
During court session, lawyer bar
gained for pony for twenty-five dollars,
on credit of six months. The next day
the owner brought the pony, butrequired
security for the payment of the price.
The lawyer drew note at the top of
sheet of fools-cap, and signed it. His
brother lawyers, some twenty In number,
signed it, and then the court-three
judges-wrote down their names.
The lawyer presented the thoroughly
signed note to the man and was surprised
to hear him say: ''Do you think am
fool, to let you get the court and all the
lawyers ON your side? see you mean
to cheat me out of my pony"
Up jumped the alarmed man, ran out
of court, mounted the pony and galloped
for home as fast as the horse could carry
him.

Counting by Telegraph.

During the last two years Miss Louise
Elb and Miss Laura Jordan, telegraph
operators, have worked together in the
Western Union Office at St. Joseph, Mo.
Persons about the Office who could not
read the tickings of Miss Elb's instru-
ment were puzzled frequently to see Miss
Jordan put her hands to her ears. The
very inquisitive, noticing that during the
quick motions she showed bits of cotton
into the auricular channels, sometimes
would ask if anything was wrong, but
Miss Jordan would avoid the question.
Not until two weeks ago, indeed, was
light thrown upon the mysterious move
ments of the young woman and the smil-
ing habits of her associate. Then it was
revealed that Miss Elb is to be married
shortly; that the young man in the case
is John Martin, q Kansas City operator,
and that the young couple have been
making love by wire since 1879. In that
year they agreed upon cipher alphabet,
BY the use Of which many tender senti-
ments were passed to and fro. Miss
Jordan soon caught up the key, how
ever; and, that she might not be in the
way, kindly stopped her ears. The men
in the Office often wondered at Miss Elb' 8
thoughtful silence and the happy smiles
that completely mastered her as she sat
at her operating desk, and now they
know the secret they insist that she shall
be married by wire, but, being a sensi-
bic girl, she prefers the hand-to-bsud
custom. Philadelphia Times.

Lighthouse TerrOrs.

If those on shore are awed by the ter
rible violence of the winds and waves
during tempest what must be the ex-
periences of men who live in a building
exposed to the full fury of the heavy
ocean breakers? When we look at a
lighthouse in calm weather, it is almost
impossible to realize that the sea some
times breaks over the lantern. Such is,
however, frequently the case, and an in
stance of this occurred not long after the
completion of the Bishops Rock Light,
which is erected on rock beyond the
Sicily Islands, far ont in the Atlantic.
One of the builders told of heavy sea
striking under the lantern and carrying
away the fog-bell, which hung by a stout
arm of iron nearly three inches square.
A few years ago the lighthouse keepers
on this rock were in a terrible predica-
ment during a hurricane, the violence of
whi,h was described as being fearful.
The lighthouse was struck by enormous
waves in quick succession, each causing
a noise like the discharge of a cannon,
and making the massive stone building
rock to and fro, so that every article fell
away from its place. One fearful sea
broke the great lens in several pieces,
and another smashed the cylinders of the
spare light, while sand from the bottom.
thirty fathoms deep, was found heaped
up on the lighthouse gallery. The power
of these unbroken masses of water is go
great that lately, at Wick, one of these
shocks moved "a concrete block of four
