KEEPING THEIR END UP.
HOW THE GREAT VESTS MARvELs ARE
APT TO MULTIPLY.

HOW THE GREAT VESTS MARvELs ARE
APT TO MULTIPLY.
Denver Tribune
AS last Tuesdays west-bound train
passed Cape Horn, large party of
Englishmen, of the "direct-from-Lun-
non" variety, crowded out ON the plat
form and loudly expressed their dissat-
isfaction at the scenery, which was "not
at all up to the guide books, you know,
by Jovep
AS they returned no their seats to en-
Joy jolly good British all-around
grumble, entirely oblivious of the indig-
nant glances of the native passengers, q
meek-looking, gentle-voiced journalist
from Frisco approached from the other
end of the car and volunteered to give
the tourists some valuable facts con-
cerning the country. In an ingenious
and plausible way, he answered their
questions in manner that reduced our
critics from -the-pond to condi-
tion OF profound amazement, not to say
awe.
The next morning the journalist was
informed by the reporter that COM
mittee OF gentlemen wished to see him
in the baggage car. AS he entered the
latter he found dozen travellers, all
native and to the manor born, waiting
to receive him hat in hand. The spokes-
man advanced and said
"You are the party who was giving
those globe trotters in the rear sleeper
some points about the coast, believe ?"
Il am, sir," said the quill-driver, mod
estlv.
"You told them, I understand" con-
tinued the chairman, "that Mount
Shasta was 10000 feet high?"
1.-The same"
"You divulged the we'll known fact
that trains on this road ere often de-
tanned four days by herds of buffalo, and
that they frequently have to use a Cat
ling gun on the cowcatcher to prevent
the locomotive being pushed off the
track by the grizzly bears?"
"Yes, sir"
you further acquainted them with
the circumstance that the Digger Indi
ans live to the average age of 204, and
that the rarefication of the air on the
plains is such that an ordinary pin
looks like telegraph pole at the dis
tance of forty-two miles?"
Il think / wedged that in," re-
sponded the newspaper man.
And we are informed they all made
memorandum of your statement that
at the Palace hotel an average of two
walters per day were shot by the guests
for bringing cold SOup-eh ."
"They did,"
"And, finally, we believe that You are
the originator of that beautiful-th
b-e-a-utiful-er-fact regarding that
fallen redwood tree up at Mariposa
mean the hollow one into which the six
horse-stage drives, and comes out of
knot-hole 165 feet further along?"
81 told them all about it."
"Just so! just SOP said the COM
mitteeman, grasping the patriots hand
and producing well-filled buckskin
bag, "and am instructed by this COM
mittee of your fellow-countrymen to
present you with this slight token of
our appreciation of the noble manner
in which you have vindicated the honor
of our noble land; God bless you,
sir"
Gentlemen said the true Califor.
nian, much affected, 81 understand
your feelings, and although l blush to
be rewarded for simply doing my duty,
accept the gift as sacred trust to be
devoted to the further exaltation of our
common country"

Il PATHETIC INCIDENT.
New York World.

New YORK world.
A swarthy-faced italian was grinding
from wheezy hand-organ "The Watch
on the Rhine" A crowd of children
had collected about the corner of East
Broadway and Market street, where the
hand-organist stood, for, attached to q
chain, was little monkey which was
climbing to the second story of house
where penny awaited him. With
much difficulty did the little animal
mount the shutter and scramble to the
window, but he was still beyond the
reach of the money. The italian glared
savagely at the chattering monkey as
he looked with an expression almost
human at his rough master. 1t was no
use; he could not reach the penny, and
with evident fear the little fellow,
dressed in red cap, clung to the blind.
The savage pauper cursed his faithful
companion, who in turn shook his little
head, rs if to say, Master, 1 can't
reach the penny"
With vicious pull on the chain the
monkey was torn from his place Of
safety, and falling struck the pavement
heavily.
The little fellows upturned eyes saw
no one but the cruel man who was
bending over him. With a slight
tremble the poor things little limbs bes
came rigid, u faint gasp and the monkey
was dead.
He had failed to get one penny and
the avaricious master had killed him.
As the children drew back from the
scene the italian tore two pennies from
the fixed grasp Of his dead slave, then
muttering "Deda monka no good"
dropped the little body in the gutter
and turned down the side street.

WHEN 7 AN DEAD
urranklin P. DAILY in The Guardian.l

Franklin P. DAILY in The Guardian.1
When am dead,
would not have the rude and gaping crowd
Around me gather, and, mid lamentation
loud,
Tell of my virtues, and with vain regret
Bemoan my loss, and. leaving me, forget.
But would have the few of kindly heart,
Who, when misfortune came, so nobly did
their part,
And oft by thoughtful deeds their love ex-
press
These would have, no more, no less,
When am dead.
When am dead
would not have the high and storied stone
Placed DER my grave, and then be left alone;
But would have some things once did
love,
Ere did leave the joyous world above,
Placed DER me. And each succeeding year
I'd have my friends renew them, and oft
linger near,
With loving thoughts upon the dear one laid
below,
And talk of times departed long ago,
When am dead.
When am dead,
Forgive-Oh this pray far more than all
The anguish have caused, the deed beyond
recall
Think kindly ON me as lie so still,
Sopoor n subject for an angered will.
Think Of some generous deed, some good
word spoken,
OF hearts bound up found all sad and
broken;
Think gently, when this last long rest is mine,
And gaze upon my form with looks benign,
When am dead

THE spARR0W IN NEW YORK.
HE FIGURES AS REED BIRD IN RES
TAURANTS.

TAURANTs.
New York Herald.
In the city the best posted individual
is w. w. Conkling, the director of the
animals in Central park. He said: Il
recall the first importation of the spar
rows to this city, and how much the
people expected of them, and how they
were nursed and attended to. They
may have eaten some of the worms, at
any rate the worms disappeared after
the sparrows came, but whether it was
due to the sparrow would not like to
say. They have been fed and attended
to so much that now they are lazy and
saucy. L know that several years ago
the worms took possession of the vines
about the arsenal in Central park.
There were sparrows by the thousands
there, building right in the worm infested
vines, but the birds did nothing. Then
flock of robins came along and gave
their undivided attention for few
days to those vines and cleaned out all
the worms. don't see that the spar
rows molest the other birds. When
they came here along in '62 and '63, We
had about $50 species of birds, either
visitors OF resident, in the park, and we
have about that number now. The
sparrows are of no use to us as insect
destroyers. They do not trouble the
young buds, as they have been charged
with doing. 1 would suggest taking
down all boxes and compel the birds to
forage for living instead of having
crumb banquets provided for them.
"They are eaten now very extern
sively, for a large majority of the So
called reed birds served at restaurants
are only common sparrows. 1t is i'm
possible to tell the difference after the
birds are plucked and cooked, and they
are just about as good, too. They make
an excellent potpie, especially in win
ter, when they are fat and in prime eat
ing order. 1t is not easy to trap them
however, and after being fired at few
times they take the hint and leave that
immediate locality for time. The kill
ing and selling of sparrows has come to
be quite an industry about the city"
In Central park the sparrow is every
where, particularly near the points
where the other animals are fed. His
nests are crowded into every nook about
the several buildings. The dovecote,
the long line of stalls for the herbivor-
GUS animals, the carniyorium, the camel
stable were all supporting colony of
sparrows. The eagle cage also had
company of sparrows, with nests
crammed away among the rafters of
the roof. The impertinent little Eng
lish squatter took the greatest liberties
with the few specimens of the Ameri-
can bird offreedom. The eagles roasted
about on the bare and crooked perches
winking and blinking while the spar
rows fitted about, often shaking their
wings within few inches of the birds
great hooked bill. Once the reporter
saw one of the sparrows land fairly on
top of the bald head of one of these dig
nified beasts, though only for an in
slant. The old screamer ducked his
head, ruflied his feathers, muttered a
cultural and settled back, feeling HIM
self helpless to fight the rough-and-
ready little tumbler.

All diseases primarily arise from dys-

RAIN WROUGHT IN THE FOREST.
How depressing it is to see acres of
trees cut down in the midst of noble
forest. How saddening it is also to see
that thin spot in the midst of your
otherwise abundant hair. Stop it at
once by the use of Parker's Hair Bal
sam. For actual efficiency this
famous article stands at the head of
its class. Elegant for the toilet,
delicious in odor, and restores the orig
inal color to gray or faded hair. Eco
nomical, as slight, occasional appli-
cation keeps the hair and scalp in
perfect order.

New York Sun.
The "New Aversion" was the subject
of recent discourse of backwoods
preacher. A Sunday school missionary
heard him preach it. The preacher de-
nounced the revised version Of the new
testament, and said that what he wanted
was the real words which Jesus and
Paul and the others spoke. These, he
said were found in the common version,
and therefore he was opposed to the
new aversion"

A Boston engineer has been turning
his attention to the power going to
waste in the Niagara river. He esti-
mates that motor could be submerged
in the river which would furnish half q
million horse power-sufficient to run
oil the machinery in Buffalo and pump
all the city's water. His plan is to
place q giant iron wheel in the river
perpendicularly, so that it shall be
turned by the current. The power
would be taken from the shaft of the
wheel by either belts or gearings, or
would be sent through electric cables
