DO you see that name 2" asked q
nervous little man of his neighbor in q
Philadelphia car. The name designated
was Inscribed IN script letters on plate

unusual name, and the little man was
asked for an explanation. "Well, look
at it again, he said, and tell me if
that is as n or u" A hasty glance
showed that the letter was peculiarly
formed. "WelI, now you may think
me crank when | assure that that in
fernal little letter has almost driven ME
into mad house, but it's fact, and I'm
not crank either. I've ridden down
this street every morning for years and

But why didn't you go in the store

neighbor.

"Come on. Here's Eighth Street and

man on the shoulder, who followed him

Made KIeptomaniac by Pistol Ball,

Gov. Blackburn, of Kentucky, tells
of a young man who was wour ded in
the head by pistol ball. After he had
apparently recovered he robbed a store
of lot of stuff that was of no value to
him, loaded it into wagon, and nauled
it into the woods, where he concealed
the whole property. He was sent to the
penitentiary. He served his time out,
and going home, broke into the same
store, taking the same class of goods,
which he loaded into the buggy he had
run off with before, aud concealed the
things in the place be had selected on
the occasion of his first offerse. Once
more he was sent to the penitentiary,
and had nearly completed his second
term, when the prison doctor gave it as
his opinion that the bullet which had
struck the young mans head indented
the skull sufficiently to press on the
brain, and that this was the reason that
he committed the burglaries. So the
prisoner was sent home. He lost no
time in loading up the old buggy again,
precisely as before, and was returned to
the penitentiary. 81 then said that ]
was going to trepan that fellows head
if it killed him, says the governor, who
is physician, and did it successfully.
"Then 1 pardoned the young man. He
behaved himself like perfect gentle
man, sir, and never made the slightest
attempt to steal even pin"

Decency in the Dairy.

There are many persons who are in

kitchen and dining room of all utensils

most slovenly practices in their stable

owing to dirty and careless practices in

to grow. In order to let our readers see
