Those Who Never Do Wrong.

'Tis hard to labor from morn till night;
10 plough the furrOw and pluck the weeds
For those who poorly the task reuuite,
And care but little for all our needs;
But the hardest work is to get along
With those who never do anything. wrong.
You're sure to meet in the course of life
With men and women who freely state
Their own opinions, with yours at strife,
And you may endeavOr to set them straight
But you'll find it wiser to jog along
Than argue with those who never do wrong
They go their way, with SMILE no doubt,
At us who suffer such pains and aches.
And mental torture. at finding out
That we've committed some grave mis-
takes;
With pride unbroken, erect and strong,
Are those who never do anything wrong
You may note their faults, and attempt t
prove
Wherein they err, but rs well essay
With cambria needle that rock to novel
That fills the passage, and blocks your way
You.may talk by the hour with tears in your
eyes,
But they'll never confess nor apologize.
They never come with fearful face,
And tender kisses, to make amends
For wounds inflicted: or say with grace,
''l'm sorry! forgive me. and let's be friends!
But stern and unyielding they move along,
Convinced they have never done anything
wrong.
This is a work-a-day world we're in,
And tolls and troubles their round repeat;
But out of the tangles some gold we spin;
And out of the bitter extract some sweet:
But the hardest work is to get along
With those who never do anything wrong!

Ought to Know.

A laboring man sauntered into q
Woodward avenue grocery yesterday,
says the Free Press, and after looking
around little, he asked the price Of
sugar and butter and tea and other
goods, bat without leaving any order.
As he was looking at some apples in the
back end of the store, a boy about II
years old outside beckoned to the clerk
to come out.
What do you want of me?" was the
query.

black overcoat and gray hat on?''

comes straight from a boy who's known
him for over a dozen years.
The man was told that goods were
sold for spot cash, and when he got
out the boy had made good his escape.

Western Poets,

Miss Wheeler is bylong odds the best

only one of a goodly company. An
other whose name is also familiar to
Eastern readers is Carlotta Perry, whose

these daughters Of the muse has just
changed her name and residence for
those of a Chicago journalist. Mss
Fannie Driscoll, of Milwaukee. has for
several years written poems of merit.
which at first found place in the local
papers and afterwards a wider public.
Many of them have appeared in the
Chicago Tribune, and the other day
came the announcement that the Nil
waukee poet had married Henry Ten
Eyck White. the Yribune's .'funny
man. Mr.. Whites humorous sketches
in the style of the dime-novel romance,
have had a tremendous run. Such a
combination of hu1nor and romance
ought to make a strong matrimonia al
team. = Washington Capital.

A Cats Reasoning Power.

sour servants have been accustomed
during the late frostto throw the crumbs
remaining from the breakfast table to
the birds, and have several times no.
ticed that our cat used to wait there in
ambush in the expectation of obtaining
q hearty meal from one or two of the
assembled birds. Now, SO far this cir
cumstance in itself is not an example of
abstract reasoning. But to continue:
For the last fey days this practice Of
feeding the blr1s hag been left Of The
cat, however, with an almost incredible
amount of forethought, was observed by
myself together with two other members
of the household to scatter crumbs on
the grass with the obvious intention of
enticing the BIRDS A somewhat SINH
lar incident is recounted by another Of
the authors correspondents: During
che recent severe winter friend was in
the habit of throwing crumbs outside of
his bed room window. The family have
a fine black cat, which, seeing that the
crumbs brought birds, would OCCASION
ally hide herself behind some shrubs
and when the birds came for their break
fast would pounce out upon them, with
varying success. The crumbs had been
laid out as usual, one afternoon, but left
untouched, and during the night light
fall of snow occurred. On looking out
next morning my friend observed puss
busily engaged in scratching away the
snow. Curious to learn what she sought
he waited and saw her take the crumbs
up from the cleared space and lay them
one after another on the snow. After
doing this she returned behind the
shrubs to wait further developments.
This was repeated on two other occa-
sions." Now, we learn from DR.. Klein
that the cat which he watched had also
indisputably established definite asso-
citation between crumbs already sprink-
led on the garden walk and sparrows
coming to eat them; for as soon as the
crumbs were thrown upon the walk the
cat used to conceal himself in neigh
boring shrubbery, there to await in am
bush the coming of the birds. In this
instance the reasoning observation of
the animal-s.crumbs attract birds,

crumbs are scattered was as COM

proceedings recorded by DR.. Frost, but

A Newsboy's Suit for $4,000,

William Collins, Brooklyn newsboy,
has shown the world that Il great cor
porations have no souls they at least
have pockets. n jury OF Tho supreme
Court says that the Union Ferry Com
pany must pay him So, 900 for bruised
head and a broken knee-pan. William
was found aboard one Of the company s
boats one day last summer by deck
hand. He had paid his fare and pos
sessed the full rights of a passenger
The deck-hand, unwarrantably ASSUME
ing that he had sneaked in through the
gate, threw him off the boat with such
violence as to intlict the injuries above
mentioned. He sued for $4,000 and
gets $4,000, a sum quite large enough
to teach the Union Ferrey Company that
even an humble newsboy has rights
which its employees cannot with impu-
nifty trample upon.-N. Y. Times.

WoMEN's DISEASES.
What a Physician Said to Gath About
Those in Large Cities.

Speaking to one of the best known
physicians in this city, especially on
women's diseases, recently, he said:
This tendency of education in our
large cities, and particularly in New
York, is to destroy the girls for mother
hood. They are very handsome to the
eye as they are growing up, have bloom
ing skins. fine eyes and hair, delicate
and small features; but so little care is
taken about exercise and regular habits
with them, that the moment they mar
ry they develop functional diseases.
which make them miserable as wives
and companions, and their children are
scrawny, wretched little things, not fit
to live
us not this partly due to climatic
conditions?"
ut is due to many things, climate in
cluded-to vicious dressing, to wearing
shoes that do not permit exercise, to late
hours and parties and a general neglect
of the laws of health. There, I can put
my hand on a representative case. I
know citizen here who lives in good
house, makes $1,000 or $1,000 a year,
and has brought up a pretty daughter.
She was taken into society very young,
and by the time she gotto beeighteen she
fell in with a young bank clerk, and the
result was marriage. He was earn
ing perhaps $4,000 or $500 year,
and could not keep house in New York;
so he went to Harlem. Consequently,
he spent part of every day and evening
on these elevated railroads, riding up
and down, and has grown haggard and
discouraged. His wife, meantime, dis
satisfied that she cannot keep house in
New York as when she lived at her
fathers, is complaining and unhappy.
She has been sick ever since the birth
of her only child, which is a little sick
ly, miserable object, not fit to be
brought into the world. Large, strong,
numerous children, such as we used to
see, are no longer raised in these cities.
Two-thirds of the women here are tor
tured with female weaknesses and dis
eases. If they had been content to live
in the quiet towns, where most of them
were born, they would probably have
had comfortable married life, health
and peace and length of years. No
wonder the preachers are talking about
the facility and frequency of divorce,
when there is so little congenial domes-
tic life in these great cities

can we tell ner. s
81 do not know. She will break her
heart, . and Mrs. Kellie's sobs began
afresh.
He stopped, a lump rising in his throat
prevented further words.
She understood him, however, and
silently went upstairs, and followed by
her husband entered the room where all
that was left of their darling lay.
When May awoke from her long sleep
she wondered what had happened. She
remembered she had fallen asleep be-
side her sister.
With this thought came another, and
with a stifled cry she sprang to the
ground and ran noiselessly into Eva's
room.
On the threshold she paused, an icy
chill shot through her veins, and she
grasped a chair for support.
No need of words to tell her what had
taken place; that fair face with it's smile
Of heavenly peace belonged to Eva, but
the soul that gave her power to speak
and move, was no longer there
May neverheeded those two silent fig
ures kneeling at the bedside, she scarce.
" even saw them, and Mrs. Kellie ris.
ing, was startled at seeing her standing
in the doorway with look of fixed an.
guish on her face.
"May, my darling she said tend
erly.
At the sound of her name, May gazed
vacantly at her mother, then the settled
calm gave way, and with q long heart
rending shrek, she fell helplessly at
Mrs. Kellie's feet
For weeks she lay between life and
death; it seemed as if she could not ex-
list without her second self; as they had
lived together so they would die.
The winter passed, and as the spring
set in warm and bright, May was once
more able to walk about. But how diff
ferent she Was to the bonny girl of old;
she seemed to have changed places with
Eva, she was so fragile.
Her only pleasure was in tending her
sisters grave, and every day she went
to watch the green leaves as they sprang
up through the dark earth.
One day, May had been absent long
cr than usual, Mrs. Kellie became
very uneasy as the afternoon drew to a
close.
Accompanied by her husband she
went towards the churchyard, and there
they found her with her head resting on
the fresh green grass that covered Eva's
grave, one arm thrown lovingly round
the cold cross, a sweet restful smile on
her face. The chain that bound her
soul to earth had broken. and she had
gone to join her sister in that peaceful
land, where the hearts clinging cords
are never riven.

Romance.


Romance is none the less true because
it is so common. We should not scorn
romance because all people may have
it, any more than we should scorn color
because everybody else can see. If the
dukes and the princesses may have ro-
nance, and the kitchen maid and the
garbage man have a Irritation at the
back gate. it only shows that romance
is as necessary q part OF human life as
food and sleep. All people pass through
it as through teething and the measles,
but unlike teething and the measles, it
is so pleasant that they love to look
back upon it when it is passed. The
young folk, who haven't known yet,
love to read about it and imagine what
it will be; the old folk, who have pass
ed through it, like to read the histories,
real or fictitious, of others. It never
will go out of fashion, and never will
be very different from what it is now
You might as well try to take the skele-
ton out of q CIR rs to take the romance
out of her.

Hard Hitting.

A Bostonian was knocked down, in
friendly boxing bout, and his head
struck the floor with fatal result. A
Texans brain suffered such a concus-
sion from hard blow in sparring ex-
hibition that he died the next day. A
Kansas fighter undertook, on wager,
to prevent a travelling pugilist from
knocking him out in four rounds; and.
though soft gloves were used, he re-
celved a finishing stroke in the neck.
He apparently recovered in few hours,
but soon went into decline, and was
dead at the end Of month.

Vertical travel, by means OF passen-
ger elevators, is rapidly increasing
throughout the United States. The first
one went into operation less than
twenty-five years ago, and now between
$4,000 and $4,000 are in constant use,
New York alone having 10000 It is
estimated that for every new mile of
railway which is constructed, passen-
ger elevator is built. The travel on
them is enormous. The eight elevators
in the Equitable building in New York
carry up and down daily average Of
twenty thousand people, while several
thousand per diem is not an unusual
number for large stores and hotels in
our large cities.

1t is said that why SO many married
ladies keep pet dogs is because their
husbands are absent so much from
home. They don't have the CANNES for
protection. It's because home doesn't
seem natural with no growing about,
and the dogs growl during the time the
husband ought to be attending to that
duty.

The Curious House Which a New York
Man Has Put Up,

The narrowest house in this city may
be seen at the northwest corner Of Lex
ington avenue and Eighty-second street.
When Lexington avenue was cut
through, some years ago, a strip of
land feet wide and 100 feet deep was
all that was left of certain lot belong
ing to person who did not own the
next lot on the street. The strip,
while of little value by itself, would be
valuable to the person owning the adj
joining lot on Eighty street, be-
cause it would not only enable him to
build house five feet wider, but would
give him windows all along the side of
his house on Lexington avenue. The
two owners. however, could not agree
as to the terms, and q house was erect
ed on the lot adjoining the narrow strip.
The owner of the latter had nothing to
do but abandon his lot or build a house
five feet wide uponit The latter course
was perhaps adopted because such a
house would shut up all the side win
dows of the neighboring building and
considerably reduce its value.
The new building, which has been
finished for some months, is therefore
five feet wide. one hundred feet deep
and four stories high. 1t is divided into
two houses, each fifty feet long, and the
entrance doors are, of course, on the
avenue, as there is no room for a door
at either end of the building. The law
allows building at the corner of a
street to. have projecting bay windows
along the side, and taking advantage of
t,Io ,~kC =
managed to plan a house, which, while
peculiar in inside appearance, and prob
ably very uncomfortable to live in, may
find tenants. Without these bay win
dows or square projections running
from the foundation to the roof, It
would not have been possible to build
house at all, for no room would have
been wider than three feet. Each house
has, therefore, two bay windows, in one
of which are the stairs and in the other
one room about eight feet wide by fif-
teen feet long, upon each floor. The
long passage between the stair-well and
the room is about three feet wide.
Each house contains kitchen eight by
fifteen feet and four rooms, each of the
same size, but on different floors. There
are also ingeniously-placed closets at
each end of the building and under the
stairs. Both houses are occupied. One
is offered for rent at $500 a year.
If the object Of the builders of these
extraordinary houses was simply to
shut out the light from his neighbours
building, he would probably have ac-
complishcd the same end at much less
expense by adopting Mr.. George Kemp's
device of sheet-iron shields. Mr..
Kemp did not wish the occupants of the
building in the rear Of his house, at 72O
Fifth avenue, to overlook his premises,
and SO he built an iron scaffolding in
the back yard and placed iron shields
against the obnoxious openings, shut
ting out the air and light as completely
as q brick wall would have done. This
arrangement hnn heen f9F JsaFs tbs
