when the man statue knocks his hat off
with his spear; Simon tries in vain to
find who did it, as the statue is immova-
bic again. AS tho statue pays him no
attention, Simon picks up his old hat
and places it on the head of the classic
bust and contemplates it with delight;
but as soon rs his back is turned the
bust stoops down into the frame. and
the hat disappears with her. Simon
goes for his hat, is much surprised not
TO find it. climbs up and looks down af-
ter it.
The man pushes him with his spear
and he rolls over on to the stage. The
CLEANER rakes him with her rake and he
looks up, but she is again still. Simon
advances with great CONSERVATION to
the front. when the right statue glldes
slowly toward him and seizes his arm.
Left statue also advances. puts her arm
through his left, and the trembling ST.
mon is led off ut the right mid shouts OF
laughter from the audience, who can
not resist the curious spectacle OF the
solemn statues thus in motion. - YOUTHS

How be Tracked the Money,

More than fifty years ago there lived
near London Mr. Field, widower,
with seven interesting children, and
holding position in the Bank Of Eng
land something analogous TO that OF
teller, so-called, in the banks of this
country. Making up his accounts one
day. he found himself nine thousand
pounds short, about forty-iiye thousand
dollars. As he or his securities were
liable for ali losses or defalcatiun, this
misfortune was to him absolute ruin.
One who has occasion 10 visit the
Bank of England 10 exchange n large
note for smaller ones. or for gold, goes
to desk and writes his name and adj
dress on the back Of the note. He thor
takes it 10 wicket, or opening, and

off the note and cast into Il basket, and
on slip of paper an order is given on
the next place, and you receive your
new notes, or gold.
Mr.. Field could only imagine that ii

Gen. Meade's Little Friend,


When in command Mt Atlanta Gen.
Meade was quite popular, and visiting
in the highest circles of Southern socie-

the house of DIR. Lawsche's parents. A
bright, prattling little girl of 5 years. of
q neighboring family, under the inilu-

mortal fear and hatred of the terrible

"Old Meade" The good-natured Gen

the child on his lap, for she was very
fond of him, told her that he was "Old
Meade" The child, looking into his
face, in an incredulous voice, asked:
'.Is YOU odd Meade?" Pm Old
Meade" Then followed y succession
of screams as the child struggled to re-
lease herself while the General was con-
vulscd with laughter. Standing in the
middle Of the room and looking the
General straight in the face, her little
form quivering with anger and excite

one of one thousand pounds. On the
back was the name of q Mr.. Brown,
and the address, Turks Head Inn. Mr..
Brown was a traveller, then. and might
be already gone from that house, He
reached the inn, with what speed may
be imagined. and found n coach there,
filed with passengers, and just about to
leave the yard. Breathless with anxiety,
he approached the window of the coach,
and inquired if any gentleman by the

An Astonished Conductor.

This is true story. The 'old limpy'
was the Hon. Erastus Corning, of New

years. He was a member of Congress
for eight years, and one OF the leading
railroad capitalists Of the United States.

What Surgery Can Do

The London Lancet, in publishing its
record of the progress of medicine in its
many departments during the last year,
gave some of the more prominent points
connected with surgery. Some of the
operations seem almost miraculous,
and were regarded rs impossible previ.
Gus to actual experiment. No region OF
the body is now considered beyond the
scope of surgery. Its most marked tri.
umphs relate to the internsl organs and
cavities.
What has rendered the operation;
comparatively safe is the use of antisep'
tics-fluids that prevent putrefaction in
the wounds. Hitherto carbolic acid has
been the chief agent used. But this
proved more or less dangerous
times fatally co--in other directions
A much safer and equally effective sub.
stitute has been found in what is called
eucalyptol, which is obtained from the
eucalyptus tree.
Assesses Of the liver have been free

Large parts of the stomach have beer

which is the more highly organized
part of the stomach that shuts in the
food until digestion is carried to GER

it into the intestineS.
Entrances have been made through
the walls of the stomach for the regular

A Possible Country.

Alaska has been set down rs nearly 4
worthless country, yet it has already re-
turned nearly quarter OF the original
cost in rents of the seal fishery. Re-
Gently samples of an extraordinary yield
of potatoes have been furnished, prov
ing that the country is not worthless.
The extraordinary yield of potatoes in
southern Alaska is evidence that the
country will produce other crops, espe-
cially oats, rye, flax, and probably bar
ley. In short, it will produce about as
great variety as in the northern part
of Maine. Not only will Alaska produce
potatoes, oats, peas, cabbages and n
great variety of vegetables but we have
found out that it is the cranberry field
of the northwest coast. The best cram
berries Of the world grow there now,
and there can hardly be limit to the
business. Already shipments have been
made. The Alaska cranberry is CON-
ing to the front. Chicago beef may be
pressed into Atlantic cities; but the
Alaska cranberry will be first used to
supply California, then it will be push
ed into the interior, and it will finally
reach the Atlantic States, The climate,
soil and all other conditionsa are suitable
to the growth of this fruit 1t is already
growing there in wild state.
Now, country where the sea and
rivers abound in the choicest Ash, and
where game il so abundant that consid-
cradle population can be supported on
these articles, is not poor country
by any means. We refer now to south
ern Alaska-to 4 country which Is larg-
er than California, and which ought, ut
least, to have the advantage of Il terri
torial government. Probably no coun-
try has been more misrepresented as to
its resources than Alaska. Little by little
we are finding out the extent Of natu-
raj resources. No account has yet been
taken of the immense wealth of timber,
and very little of the minerals which are
known 10 exist. II is = country that
will keep. 1t ought, however. to be
treated deccntly. Men who 90 there
ought to have some protection for life
and property. 1t might as well be an ac-
ccpted fact now, in spite OF all misrep-
reservations, that Alaska is rich in
natural resources that it ought TO have
territorial organization. or at least

decent way. Potatoes and cranberrics
