Just Like a Boy.

A manufacturing establishment down
Fort street was moving its Office the
other day, and had called in all the ap-
prentice boys to assist in the operation.
The desks and chairs and books and
maps and patterns were all safely
loaded and transported, and by-and-by
nothing was left but the fire ex-
tinguisher. One of the boys was ordered
to place this on wheelbarrow and
carefully wheel it over, but he knew a
plan twice as good as that. There
were straps on it, and he was big
enough to cary it slung on his back.
With the help of another boy he loaded
it up, and when he found it snugly
fitted to his back he pranced out and
wished from the bottom of his soul that
he had been fireman instead of an ap-
prentice boy in foundry. He was
slumping along in q melancholy way
when his foot struck the end of plank
and he went sprawling. The nearest
person was an old woman with basket
on her arm, and right behind her was q
| chap with q white vest and yellow kids
on. Both started forward as the boy
yelled out, and the next minute circus
was in progress. The fall got off the
machine, and it was impossible to
doubt that it was in fine working order.
There was a distant rumbling and
groaning, as If old Vesuvius was on a
bender. Then came a z-z-z-z-fizz! as if
somebody's soda fountain had con-
| cluded to quit business. The
boy rolled over and over, the
hose flew around like whip-lash, and
such of the chemicals as didn't fill the
boys ears and eyes and pockets were
pretty evenly divided between the old
woman and the man with the white
vest. The man would have got across
the street had he not run into hitch
ing post and got a setback, and the
old woman would have escaped with a
mouthful or two had she not stumbled
over him. There was screaming and
| iawing and whooping among the three
as the terrified boy kept rolling around
and calling for some one to put him
out, but nothing could be done until
the charge was exhausted Then a

the extinguisher, hitting one as often
as the other, until her elbow grease
gave out. Then she painted and gasped
and announced:

A Brooklyn Mans Invention.

Walter Taylor, of Brooklyn, claims
to have invented new kind of motor
which will work revolution in the
present system of operating machinery
A Tribune reporter inquired of the in
ventor the principles upon which the
engine was constructed and requested
to see it, but it is not yet completed and
could not be seen. Mr.. Taylor, how
ever, produced tin coffee-pot Of the
ordinary shape, which he filed three
fourths full of water; then putting
on the lid he placed it on a stove.
In less than five minutes there was a
slight explosion and the lid of the pot
was seen to rise on q column of water
which came straight up from the center
of the pot. 1t danced about at the top
of this jet for short time, till, becom-
ing overbalanced, it fell to the floor.
AS soon as the lid was out of the way
the stream of water rose to a consider
able height and continued to rise higher
as the forces at work at the bottom of
the pot became more heated. 1t was a
h0t-water fountain. The water fell back
into the open mouth of the pot to be
again sent flying into the air with a
Kissing sound, and thus the same ma
terial was used over and over again in
kind of revolving process, the only
diminution in quantity being caused by
evaporation A small tin tube could be
seen in the center of the pot, through
which this fountain passed its boiling
currents.
'There, said the inventor, ''you
have the primary principles upon which
my engine is constructed. Give me a
boiler that will stand $50 pounds OF
steam pressure and / will throw a
stream of water one foot for every
pound, or $50 feet. 1t is the best and
simplest fire apparatus in the world,
consisting of nothing more than the
boiler and the central tube, to which
the hose is attached =

Hotel Yendome in the afternoon. In
reviewing the work of the decade
Bishop Paddock had the satisfaction OF
making this rather remarkable report
of progress: During the last ten years
the clergy of the diocese have increased
from 139 to 172, parishes from 1856 to
141, communicates from 11,577 to
1922. The Sunday school scholars
have increased 45 per cent. There are
1900 more church sittings in Boston
than ten years ago, six new churches,
four new parochial chapels have beer
opened in that city, and the funds and
lands are already at hand for the
seventh church.

But the weary afternoon wore away,

ma might be cared for, then herself,
and feeling comforted in the full faith
that God would remember them both,
resolutely set herself to keep awake
until papa should come.
But her head droppedon the window
sill and she soon slept quietly. The
winged messengers who wait on the
prayers of child surely guarded her
rest with gentlest care, for when at last
the strained timbers gave way and the
old house bade adieu to the foundations
on which it had stood for many long
year, she never knew it, but slept on.
.I saw your shining flag, Pearl, my
blessing"
Pearl opened her sleepy eyes to see
| the early morning sun beaming upon
her. All the trees on the bank were
running past her in most confusing
manner. Papa was lifting her from
the window into boat held by two
other men close to the house, which
still rocked and heaved as it settled
deeper and deeper into the water.

A Pioneer Exhibitor.

In the early days of Michigan, when
county fair was to be remembered,
one of the southern counties in Michi-
gan held fair one fall at which one of
the exhibitors was a man named
Prother. He had an entry of poultry,
another of cattle and a third of vege-
tables. When the judges on poultry
came around, Prother met them with:
Gentlemen, here are the biggest
hens, the fattest geese and the heaviest
turkeys in this State. want first
premium.
"We'll see about it, y replied one.
II want the first premium or I'll lick
the three of you half to deathr' az
nounccd Prother, in a strictly busint SIS
tone, and it may be said right here that
he didn't get the premium and that ne
kept his word. Two of the judges were
battered until they couldn't see, and
the third got away after having two
teeth knocked out.
When the judges on cattle came
around they turned up their noses at
Prother's old COW and two half-starved
calves, but he placidly remarked:
ssGentlemen, that ere COW was
driven four hundred and eighty miles
to reach this State, and them calves
can't be beat for blood Their grand
mother was owned by the Empress of
France"
Something was said about his care
lessness in not entering his stock for
the bone-yard instead of the fair, and
he answered with:
Gentlemen, I'm willing to take Sec
ond premium, and if / don't get it
you'd better hire some one to hold
me!n
They neglected his advice, and in due
course of time had their noses driven
back or their eyes put in mourning.
Prother was telling the judges on veg
etables what they might expect in case
he did not secure premium, when he
was arrested, but only after he had
pounded two constables Within three
weeks after the fair he had mauled the
President, run the Secretary into the
woods and pulverized the Treasurer,
and before the end of six months he
had licked all the judges but two, and
was hunting for them with great en-
ergy when he got before the courts and
was sent to jail for a r.-Detroit

,oyT0 THE OLD MANS EYES

Beside the open window
4 oray haired man sat down,
The railroad train that bore him
sned through the grimy town;
And everywhere, extended
AS far as eye could view,
THE yellow com and barley
And fragraat orchards grew.
Along the stealy river
Great facto res were seen,
And tiny newborn hamlets
Were nestled in the green;
And sounds of engine labor
Were rising to the skies,
And all the landscape bristled
with signs of enterprise.
The old man gazed about him
And wiped away tear.

All things that were familiar
Are passed away and gone"
Reside the stranger loitered
A little shrill-yoiced chap,
And dropped small prize-packago
Into that strangers lap.
The old man started quickly,
He started ana was mute.
Heeyed the small boys basket,
His papers and his fruit.
And from his iaboring bosom
Came signs of glad relief,
And clutching at the train-boy,
He uttered this in brief:

A glad surprise has come,

You had ere left home"
