as I pointed him out. The boy looked
 at him with open-eyed wonder, and for
 once the restless eyes of the assassin
 were fixed as they rested upon the fresh young face of the child. The scared hunted look died out of the murderer's face for the moment, and he gazed steadily into the bright, innocent eyes only few feet away from him. His expression changed, his grimacing mouth grew serious, and" "Papa, he is looking at me !" whisp cred the boy, drop ping his eyes and cuddling closer to my side. At this moment Guiteau rose from his chair, turned it completely around, and sat down, with his back facing the audience-a favorite position with him. The outline of his shabby head, cuddled between his broad should CTS, was sharply made against the light. His great ears stood out like handles to his skull. There was 8 noticeable fatness on one side of his head as compared with the other, and a depression on one side of the top skull with an upheaval on the other. He made little awning of @ newspaper, and held it like hood between his face and the sun. When I left the court room, half hour later, he had not moved

A New Jersey correspondent, writing about applejack says: "A man never wants to get drunk on applejack more than once. A small drink of the iquor will climb to the head of man who isn't used to it in less than ten seconds. His face gets red and feels sunburned 1; when he closes his eyes he sees nine million torchlight processions charging at him ten abreast, and if he took two drinks he could be induced to vote for high priced street railroads or machine nominees or do anything else disgrace full. Finally he falls asleep, but it is a peculiarity of the liquor that when he wakes he will find himself drunker than when he lay down, and for three days his head will sound as if a swarm Of bees had hived there." This man has been there.

Fell and Rose Again.

The Philadelphia Times tells the story of young man, decidedly hand some, of prepossessing manners and elegantly dressed who came into Coun- selor William H. Ruddiman's office re- oently and greeted him warmly. There was brief but frank and pleasant con. versation between the two men. When the younger man was leaving he gave the lawyer a grip that showed forth an open and impulsive nature. There were tears in his voice when he said good-by. The counselor was silent and thoughtful for time after the door had closed upon the departing visitor. "Some- times," he said earnestly at length, Gan occasion will arise that will afford re- compense for all the evils that assail one. My first meeting with that young man was such an event. l never shall forget it." "And the circumstances were ?" ''I don't think I ought to say. However, I suppose you never will meet the man again, and in any case you must promise never to connect his name with the stor y" The promise was given.

There was something about him that fastened my attention. I called Judge Ludlow's attention to him. T think we ought to make some inquiries as to that boys history said I I; 'he doesn't seem to be in his element in such com pany.' The judge agreed with me. I called the boy into side room and had a long talk with him. He was charged with embezzlement of funds belonging to his employer. He frankly said that he was guilty. Temptation had assailed him and he had fallen. saw that it was case in which to imprison would have been to sacrifice him. He said that he had an uncle living some dis tance in the country. I said that if he would agree to leave the temptations of city life, go out to that uncle, I would try to have him set free. He promised. The matter was explained to his em- ployer, who agreed to abandon the prosecution. The boy was discharged. Two or three years after youth called upon me one day in my office. I did not know him at first. It was my young friend. But how changed He was living in Ohio, respectfully employed and with excellent prospects. He was very grateful for what we did for him. He overwhelmed me with gratitude, in- deed. He never comes to this city now without paying me visit. I felicitated him once upon his prospects. 'Yes.' he said, T am doing very well. But if I had been abandoned that time, when the cloud was over me, I would have gone to ruin, sure.'"

London Penny Papers.

The London Spectator says:-Indeed, Q good journal-that is, journal equal as regards typography and thickness of paper to the ISnaes-could not, even with advertisements, be produced for Id. at all. The cost of the material on which to print would ultimately crush it. The loss is, we believe, slight on each copy, so slight that if the copper init were; as it would be under deci- nal system, five farthings, half the tenth of forin, the whole difficulty would be removed. Any loss, no matter what, if multiplied by 1O0,0 a day, becomes rninous; and newspaper proprietors are compelled, by the pressure of the penny, to give us abominable paper, often too fimsy to hold together in a high wind, to postpone the intellectual matter of the paper to advertisements, and to use type which must be ruinous to the eyes of the next generation, and which, wherever light is at all deficient. is indescribably harassing. They are compelled to insist on condensation in the methods of reporting, which to public speakers and suitors in courts constantly involves extreme injustice. and to cut down Parliamentary debates until they are positively and visibly diminishing the intellectual influence of public men.

TROUBLED WATERs.-The ancient de- vice of pouring oil upon the troubled waters is to be revived. A MT. Shields of Perth has invented a piece of ap- paratus for the smoothing of broken sea by means of oil, and a few days ago the contrivance was tried at Peterhead, in Scotland, with considerable success. The oil was conveyed to the North Har- bor entrance by means of 8 pipe about 200 yards long. The pumping soon took effect on piece of rough water. The oil spread and rendered the surface of the harbor quite smooth over a large area.

EVERY YEAR.

The spring has less of brightness
 Every year, And the snow ghastlier whiteness,
 Every year. Nor do summers flowers quicken, Nor autumn's fruitage thicken, As they once did, for they sicken
 Every year. It is growing darker, colder,
 Every year, As the heart and soul grow older,
 Every year. I care not now for dancing, Nor for eyes with passion glanc:ng- Love is less and less entrancing
 Every year. Of the loves and sorrows blended
 Every year, Of the joys and friendships ended
 Every year. Of the ties that still might bind me My infrmitles remind me
 Every year. Oh how sad to look before us
 Every year, While the clouds grow darker OCT us
 Every year, And to see the flowers faded, That to bloom we might have aided And immortal garlands braided,
 Every year. To the past go more dead faces
 Every year; Come no new ones in their places
 Every year. Everywhere the sad eyes meet us, In the evenings gloom they greet us, And to come to them entreat us,
 Every year. "Weare growing old" they tell us,
 "Every year. We are more alone." they tell us,
 "Every year. We can win no new affection, We have only recollection, Deeper sorrow and dejection,
 Every year." Thank God no clouds are shifting
 Every year, Ger the land to which we'er drifting,
 Every year. No losses there will grieve us, Nor loving faces leave us, Nor death of friends bereave us,
 Every year.

Fine gauze wells with chenille dots

Black wool dresses remain the favor

THE HOME DOCTOR.

DR.. Foote's Health Monthly advises
people not to attempt to cool off quickly
when overheated; many fatal cold
has been caught by so doing"
Careful cooking of even the longest
used and best known kinds of food.
whether animal or vegetable, is the
important rule to insure health and
strength from the table. No matter
what the quality of the food to begin
with may be, a bad cook will invariably
incur heavy doctors bills and a not less
inconsiderable ''little account" at the
druggists.
In ease of poisoning the simple rule
is to get the poison out of the stomach
as soon as possible. Mustard and salt
act promptly as emetics, and they are
always at hand. Stir tablespoonful
in a glass of water, and let the person
swallow it quickly. If it does not
cause vomiting in five minutes repeat
the dose. After vomiting give the
whites of two or three eggs.
Housekeepers, merchants and others
in handling knives, tools and other
sharp instruments, very frequently
receive severe cuts, from which blood
flows profusely, and oftentimes en-
dangers lifeitself. Blood may be made
to cease flowing as follows: Take the
fine dust of tea, at all times accessible
and easily obtained, and bind it close to
the wound. After the blood has ceased
to flow laudanum may be advantage
ously applied to the wound. Due
regard to these instructions would save
much agitation of mind while running
for the surgeon.
