Step by Step

+ once stood at the foot Of a Swiss
mountain which lowered up from the
foot of the Nispbach Valley to a height
of 10000 feet. 1t looked like "a tre-
,mendous pull to the top. But I said to
myself, "Oh, it will require but one step
at a timer Refose sunset I stood on
the summit, enjoying the magnificent
view of the peaks around me, and right
opposite. to me flashed the icy crown of

the first man TO discover BY taking one

a school7boy, he got discouraged over
mathematics, But one day he found

a youth discouraged like himself. The
advice which sD'Alembert, gave was:

Two weeks agooiast Saturday night
Euglebert Hartmann, matchmaker in
the employ of JeWeler C, w. Freeman,
sitter having thrust abrooch-pi into his
body without experiencing any serious
effects, threw himself in front of NOV
ing locomotive in the yard of the
Delaware, LackaWanna & w estern Com
pany. He was rescued and taken to
the hospital. He told the hospital
physicians that he had attempted to kill
himself by forcing a large brooch-pin
into his body Just below the heart. The
pin was probed for. but could not be
found. On Saturday, DR.. Connell, the
attending physician while examining
Hartmann, carne to the conclusion that
the pin had worked itself through the
mans body to- the back He made a.
small incision and removed the pin. 1t
was five inches in length and Hart
mann said that he made it himself. It
went in but little distance below the.
point Of the heart, and came out of the
back directly opposite. Hartmann is
getting along nicely, and appears to,
have no particular desire to take his own

sets frog is livelier and furnishes better
eating. Prices in this market range from
80 cents to 50 cents per dozen, sometime
even higher, according to size and quality
Canada used to ship the frogs legs packed
in ice, and used to supply this market
almost whslly a few years ago, butthe COM
petition OF the domestic article has driven
the foreign out OF the market, and the
Canadians now ship wholly TO New York
city. All kinds of frogs are eaten, but the
speckled frog is said to be the most tender.
Some frogs have recently been shipped
alive to England by a Boston dealer, and
were received in good order. 1t is possible
that an export business may be developed.
as the first lot was readily disposed of, and
as the bull-fr0g il not an inhabitant OF

The Utica, N. Y, Herald says, nobody
was surprised last week when cheese
tumbed from l3l to 124c, nor will anyone
be paralyzed this week to witness another
decline of somewhat simila~ proportions.
The nearer we get to hav cheese the closer
must be thes figures on grass stock. Grass
Is now looking well, and cows will be very
generally turned out during the present
week. But at the best it must be couple
of weeks before any grass cheese can find
its way to market. and fully three weeks
before the fodder stock will be fairly clean
ed up. Meanwhile the market has plenty
of margin to make q decline on, rs will be
seen by comparing prices OF the present
time with those of former years. Against
12ic for the top price In New York, Satur-
day last, we can place tic for the cores
ponding day in 1881, Zoe in 1882 ~ 3 &c in
1880 ian exceptional year,, Sic in 1870 and Sc
In 1878. The average of these five years is
l0ic, or 2ic below the present market.
A week ago yesterday was low tide
on the Utica market IN 1882, the
bulk of the sales then made being at
10 Ia cents, which was not again touched
during the season. This year the low point
has not been reached so soon, but that is
because the make is somewhat heavier ana
the exports unfortunately lighter. Sales
men were plentiful to-day, and the number
of lots taken ran up to considerably over
100. They were, however, very small, but
the present 81 took is being shipped as fast AS
its age will permit. The make Is now aC-
knowledged to be equal to last years, and
1t would not be surprising ii 1t should sur
pass that. The market to day was active,
and there was good deal OF shopping
done by statesmen to get bids raised If pos.
sible. But buyers stuck fairly well to their
text, and seldom varied from their price set
for the ruling early in the afternoon.
Transactions Tor the day include 1888 boxes,
at private terms; two lots of small cheese,
l52 boxes at II 3D. cents; 10 lots 6S7, boxes,
at II 5-8 cents; 1888 boxes, in 81 lots, at
