A LITTLE STORY.

An amusing story is told of little fell
low named Artie. one of three brothers
whose parents had brought them up to be
brave and self-reliant. He couldn't do
much, but what he could do he did 1t with
all his might And as their parents were
Methodists of the good old-fashioned kind,
the boys were in the habit of hearing-at
sucA times-the hearty "smen" break
forth from their fathers lips when the ser.
mon was particularly enjoyable. One cold
Sabbath day these children were left at
home with many cautions to be careful.
Hardly had the parents left when the
wood near the stovepipe was dlscoy-
cred to be on fire, and out of the children's
reach, but, with wonderful activity and
energy, the eldest clinbed upon the table
and put out the flames. When the father
and mother returned they shuddered to
see the danger to which their dear ones
had been exposed, aud with thankful
hearts praised them for their courage.
GLOW did you manage, Tommy. to reach
the fire q asked his father.
"Why," said Tommy. 81 pushed the
table up to the wall and got upon that"
"And did yoa help brother, Jimmy"
said he to the next.

"And what did You do p said the proud
father to his pet, the youngest OF the proup..
"Well, papa" said Artie, "you see |

just stood by and hOllered Amen

IEFANrICIDE IN MADAGAsCAR.-It is not
generally known that the Sakhalavas of
Madagascar are given to infanticide. Every
child that is unfortunate enough to enter
the world on a Friday is carried to the
nearest wood, laid in shallow hole, and
left to its fate, Friday being held in Mad
agascsr, as in many other countries, to be
an nnlucky day, By very different pro.
cess OF reasoning, certain children born on
Sunday are also doomed to death by ex-
posure. Sunday being lucky day, it is
considered that Sundays BARNS whose
fathers hold high rank, will, if they are
allowed to grow up. become dangerous to
their progenitors, and they are therefore
put out of the way lest trouble should en-
sue. Twins, too, ara killed, and every in.
FAINT whose birth has caused the death Of
its mother is destroyed, because, according
TO the law of the Sakhslavas, it is a muir
derer. And when child is born at mid
night it is customary to place it next day
upon path by which oxen go to water
II the beasts do not touch it on their way,
the infants life is saved but if hoof or
hair brushes it, no matter how lightly, the
child is slsin.-[St. James Gazette.

The Knights have departed and the city
streets .seem deserted by comparison Of
last weeks throng. Only a clever candy
model OF the arch on Market street remains
to remind US of the departed glory. "You
may be sure every California knight will
get rousing good reception in st. Louis
next year" said son of st. Louis, and,
DWELL give youchampagne, said another,
"but it will only be enough TO drink. We
can't give you baths of it as you did US. !"
1t ia satisfactory to think they were all
pleased with their reception and that Cali
fornia lived up to her reputation for lavish
hospitality and open.handedness. Oh, but
the Kentuckians-the superb, eagle-nosed,
bright-eyed, six foot, well-proportioned,
gorgeoualy disciplined and quite too utterly
precious De Molays-did break our crude
Western hearts when they took the silver
vase instead Of the bronze knight on the
onyx column, for their prize trophy when
they stood first in the competitive drill
and were allowed to choose, but at least
it prepared US for the shock when the ST.
Bernards, with the Yosemite plaque on
California wood halberds, and
THE REVOLVING SILVER GLOBE,
To choose from, took the globe. Dun
dreary said there were things no fellah can
find out, and his philosophy must console

Brazilian beetle, nearly three quarters of

golden reflections on his brilliant green
armor. Alive, for his sins, and the jeweer

band of gold, to which was attached long,
light, gold chain, which was welded to a
stout gold pin driven into board The

A Lively Scene.

There was an interesting scene, and
some profane language used on Main
street yesterday afternoon in front of
the Grange store. About noon wagon
loaded with brick fell afoul Of the street
car track, and an axle and wheel imme.
diately refused to do more duty. They
struck. The load Of brick was shunted
into the middle of the street, and OF
course, Immediately thereafter, an un-
usual concourse Of vehicles attempted to
pass, but as there was--besides the
brick Iile-a lumber team occupying
most Of the street crosswise-an eigh /.
horse team loading for the mines, two
wagons loaded with brick, q heavy
truck loaded with merchandise, three
grocery wagons, COW led by man,
and about half dozen buggies. Con-
fusion was worst COMPOUNDED" for
nearly half an hour, many Of the drivers
managing to extricate themselves from
the jam by turning around and getting
out in the way they came, at considera-
BILE trouble. Others stuck to it. and
waited with well defined impotence
until the liam" was cleared. The pile
of brick in the street was removed later
in the afternoon. when the broken
wagon was repaired. at the expense Of a
new axle, and all the expense and
trouble and loss Of time and the broken
brick was caused by the T rail. which
should be changed Immediately.
