Abnormal DEVELOPMENT.

They were knitting stockings for
themselves, as the freak of fashionable
handiwork now is, says Clara Belle.
Cast on 124 stitches equally on four
needles" said the one who had offered to
instruct the others. land knit317 rounds
for the leg-two stitches plain and then
tive purled. Then begin 10 narrow for
the ankle, according to circumstances
''Hush," said one of her companions,
startled by the steps of the three fellows
who had been taking their after dinner
smoke in the adjoining ROOM
They had heard the instructions
about narrowing the stockings from leg
to ankle, ''according to circumstances.
and they couldn't resist the desire to let
the girls know it hy covert remarks,
such as the polite creatures could Meth
er get angry or laugh at. Therefore,
they planned and executed revenge. In
the momentary absence of their tor
mentors they hastily pulled stocking
on to the leg of the piano, and set the
end into a slipper. The foot and ankle
looked normal enough, but above that
the.carved wood swelled into what
would have been fit for a museum if
composed of flesh, blood and bone. The
fellows, on returning, saw the four girls
grouped close together at the end of the
piano, but SO disposed as to display the
decoy leg. They pricked up their ears
and opened their eyes very wide. The
expression of admiration gave place to
amazement, and that to something like
awe. Just as they were about to burst
with curiosity as to whom the elephant
inc member belonged the girls walked
demurely out of the room. leaving the
big and bogus leg behind them. They
have been invited to a champagne
breakfast.

A Wildcat Fishing.

When the wildcat fishes it is in this
sort of way: He leaps from the bank
on to large stone or boulder well out
in the stream, and, assuming crouch
ing position, waits with the admirable
patience so characteristic of his kind for
such a chance as a kind providence may
sooner or later send his way. The pool
around is clear and waveless; the only
exception being a slight eddying of the
stream around the lee side of the bould-
er. Into that eddy a trout is sure to
sail from time to time, partly to rest
himself, and partly because it is likely
place for such moths and flies as happen
to alight upon the stream to be carried
by the suction of the ceaseless ripple
and swirl. The trout that visits the ed
dy in order to enjoy brief rest is safe
enough while he is resting, for he is
then without the movement of a fin,
quietly lying on the gravel at the bot
tom, but in his first dash to the surface
after fly his doom is sealed; for quick
as flash and with unerring aim, the
cat strikes out with his ready right paw,
and in an instant, with the claws deep
sunk in his speckled flank, the poor,
foolish trout is Hopping helplessly un-
der his captor's whiskers on the top of
the boulder. If the cat is very hungry
and happens to miss his aim, he has
been seen to dash headlong into the
stream, rarely failing in such case to
secure his prey, with which he swims
to the nearest bank, and which he
straightway begins to eat, beginning at
the tail and eating it EDWARDS. bones
and all, till not scale of it remains.

His wife may be devoted to him, but If
he fails to provide those little delicacies

comfort and instead of attributing it to
financial inability, will regard it as will

Judge Jere Blacks Application of an Old
Ru1e,

Everybody knows how admirable
Judge Jeremiah Blacks style is They
say that when his gifted son Chauncev
was about to write his first article for
thepress he consulted his father about
the subject he had in mind.
THAT will do very well-very WE'LL"
said the Judge; ''you understand that
subject, and you ought to write about it
very well. Let me see what you write
when you get through. Imay be able
to make some suggestions to you"
The young man went off and buckled
down to his task. He spent a week at
it. When he had about reached perfec-
ton he took it to the old gentleman.
The Judge read it carefully through.
"Well?" asked Chauncey as his heart
sank within him.
Very well DONE" said the Judge;
'very we'll done But Chauncey it can
be improved. l think if you cut it down,
one-half that it will improve it very
much"
Very well, sir" said Chauncey, tax
ing the manuscript back to his room,
When he had taken out little more
than one-half of his fine sentences he
returned to his father The old Judge
read it through again. -"Well?" asked
Chauncey. ''You can't imagine how
much you have improved it" said the
Judge; lit really reads very well. But,
Chauncey. if you cut it down one-half
again it will read much better" Every
well, SIR" said the son, putting the knife
to his child again. By the time this
latest cut was made the article had got
ten to be but half a column long. VERY
good, indeed; very good, indeed, "said
the Judge, nodding approvingly. But,
Chauncey, think it would read bet
ter if you would cut it down to quar-
ter of column" "Well, I won't t."
the troubled youngster is reported to
have replied. and he didn't. The Judge
was probably right, all the same. We
all like the extract better than the va

The Homecoming Graduates.

"Your daughter graduates this
month, Mr.. Thistlepod?'
Eyes, she'll be home about the goth,
/ reckon"
''And your son graduates also?"
"Oh, yes; he'll come home about the
same time"
''And what are they going to dor"
WELL" said the old man thought
fully, Il don't just exactly know what
they do want to drive at, but Marthy
she writes that she wants to continue
her art studies on the Continent, so l
think I'll just send her to Greece in the
dairy and let her do little plain mod
cling in butter, and Sam he says he's
got to 60 abroad and polish up little,
and as good luck will have it, he'll be
home just in time to spread himself on
the grindstone and put an edge on the
cradle blades against the wheat har-
vest"
And the old man smiled to think that
he hadn't thrown money away when he
sent his children to school, HaWkeye.

Boston has just opened a home for
the accommodation of working boys
who receive small pay-errand boys and
office boys-and they are boarded and
lodged for from so cents to $3.50 per
week. Each boy is furnished with a
single bed, separate washstand and
toilet arrangements, and hooks to hang
his clothing upon. There are also read
ing, writing, and recreation rooms.
Everybody supposed that Congress
man Ben LIE Fcyre was confirmed
bachelor, but his heart has been torn
from him, so to speak, and he is soon to
be married to Miss Jenny Maturin, of
Boston. There is romance mixed up
with the affair, too. Last summer, on
the porch of one OF the Saratoga hotels,
General Ben was complaining bitterly
because the collar-button on the back of
his shirt had pulled off. The little
Boston lady volunteered to sew it on
for him, and she did. This won the
bachelor.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT TT.

Ness. Robinson de Hinrichs:-We take
this means of attesting our high opinion
of Hinrichs' american Corn Cure. Our
opinion of its value in removing Coy7,s
and Warts is based on the fact that we
have used it and have found that it will
do just what you claim for it. AS cure
for Cor7as and Warts it is deserving of
the highest praise. and we take pleasure
in recommending it to all who are affiict-
ed, knowing that it will effect cure in
every instance.

BEECHER's BAD HEAD.-For two
months in the year Henry Ward Beecher
can't preach. In August and September
he takes his vacation and endures the
onset of the hay fever. And it is, SO he
says, something terrible and tremendous.
A man with hay fever isn't accountable
for his actions. He is merely wild
beast-frantic with shutting, sneezing
and headache. His eyes are red and so
is his nose. Every nerve in his skull
thrills with distress and his head is a
fountain of tears. He lives only to fly
from seaside to mountain-top in search
of relief.
And yet, whether we call this form of
Catarrh hay-fever, rose fever, hay cold
or rose cold, Elys' Cream Balm will cure
it. This remedy is simple, pleasant and
easy of application. Placed in the
nostrils it penetrates and soothes the
affected parts at once, restores the i'm
paired senses and creates healthy secre-
tons in cases of the longest standing.
You cannot run away from hay fever,
but you can drive it from you by using
Elys' Cream Balm. 2

WHEN the supply of coal gets short
elsewhere, the world can turn to China
for "black Diamonds" Baron Rich
thofen shows that in that country the
supply of anthracite coal is not less than
630, 900, 5000, 600 of tons and the blum
nous coal area is just as large. The
Baron thinks that, taking what is left in
other parts of the world with the Chinese
coal erea, we need not fear a fuel famine.
He thinks that the supply in the Chinese
province of Shansi alone will last the
world about 4, 200 years.

THE French Government expresses a
willingness to apologize for any unwar-
RANGED act of Admiral Pierre in Madagas-
car, bat the organs of the government are
at some pains to explain that the princi-
pie OF opposition to England's aggressive
colonization policy will be more dictinctly
enunciated than ever before. This is
the main point at issue. If France has
decided to claim Madagascar under
treaties which England openly repudiat-
es, the smooth words spoken at Paris
amount to little. 1t is a revival of the
old struggle for territory, and in such a
struggle France, while automatically
polite, may be so firm as to be ugly.
