Beating a Deaf Man.

/ viii Kieth is n very clever drug clerk
who compounds cross-bone prescri p
tions for leading drug house on
Washington street. He is very geni-
nj young man, and some of his many
friends often call upon him at his place
of business. Last week while enter
tanning three or four Y. M. G. A. boys
n man entered with a prescription
which was promptly compounded, and
with an air of ''see-my- y-modus-operan-
d." he threw the package before the
customer with:
twenty-five cents, please"
The man who was almost deaf threw
out five cents and started out.
twenty-five cents. sir, said w. X.
in louder tone.
"There is your five cents" said the
d. M, pointing to the nickel and walk
ing toward the door.
II said twenty-five cents" at the
top of his voice.
Il say there is your five cents, said
deafy as he passed through the door
way.
Our affable d. C. allowed a bewilder-
ed expression to hover over his hand
some features for but moment, when
it was dispelled by a bland smile as he
remarked:
20. well, let him go; there's three
cents profit anyway"

The rich are SO very rich that they
have no ambition; the poor SO desper-
ately poor that they have no hope, to

pass their lives in vacuity; those Of
the poor are SO poorly fed and dressed
that they nearly all look hunger bitten

debating clubs, dramatic associations,
public lectures, picnics, OIL any athletic
sports IN which the women can join.
They are as completely without good

Improved Railway Service.

To James McCrea, general manager
of the Pan Handle railroad, is due the
system OF railroad work by which rail-
roads are kept constantly in service by
relays of engineers and firemen. Nc
Crea began his railroading as a rodman.
At twcnty-six, he was superintendent Of
the middle division Of the Pennsylvania
railroad. This was ten years ago.
Freight trains were then run throughto
their destination by the same crew
with which they started. At night they

proposed hat the moment an engine
came in wipers should be set at work to
clean it UP, and that u new engineer and
crew should take it out as soon as ready;
and that relays of engineers should be
placed along the line to keep the trains
continually moving. The management
was slow to try the plan; but McCrea
persisted in asking a trial. In a years
ime 43 locomotives were doing the

Nice to Eat.

New York Special: Charles Moses,
a feeble man of about thirty years,
propped up in a chair, yesterday told .
remarkable story to the senate health
committee, who are now axamining the
bogus butter. He saidhe had been en-
ployed in the packing room Of Matthews
eleomargarine factory. He had not
been there long before his hands became
sore and raw. Soon they began to swell
and the nails dropped off from his fin
gers. The liquorfrom the butter rotted
his clothes and boots. caused his skin to
crack, his teeth to loosen and his hair to
come out. His condition became 80 de-
plorable that he was obliged to eo to
B%ellevue hospital for treatment. Tho
physicians there told him that if he went
back to work again in the factory Il
would kill him. Other workmen in the
shop that he knew were similarly affect
ed, but not 80 badly as in his case.

England there was recently q craze for
initiating "early English )" in the United
States there is a mania for copying the
modern Englishman. The American
Queen thus comments upon the absurd
fashion:
A good commentary on the fashion of
Of aping the English in their manner of
dress and speech was the remark Of a
little girl who visited the Casino and
looked upon its f%requenters for the first
time. She was from the south but had
been in England.

And yet they say we are no linguists,

as you will see.

A Child Charmed by a Rattlesnale

From the San Francisco Evening Post.
A lady writing from Graniteville,
Nevada county, relates an incident of q
little child having been charmed by q
rattlesnake, as follows: II was working
in Ely kitchen when 1 was startled by q
loud scream from my little boy, four
years old. On asking the cause he said:
oh, mamma, q big snake!' Irushed to
the door and, imagine my feelings when,
almost paralyzed with horror, I could
only gaze on the awful sight that met
my eyes, Ten feet from me, and on
the doorstep Of the woodshed, stood my
baby boy, twenty-five months old,
gazing, as if fascinated, upon a large
rattlesnake, which was coiled in front
Of him about two feet away, and was
gently moving its head back and forth,
looking at the child with eyes like flame.
My screams frightened it, and my
daughter, twelve years of age, ran past
and caught her little brother out Of
the way, when the reptile glided swiftly
away. The child appeared for a long
time dazed and unatural.'

Puss in the Elevator.

Dogs not only learn what the cars
are for, but which train will take them
where they want to go, The instance
here given from the New York Tribune
proves that cats may have equally in
telligent ideas of passive travelling, and
equal appreciation of their own comfort
III adopting the improved methods. A
recent number of the paper tells what q
visitor found out about the Tribune cat:
The Tribune elevator car had started
on its upward trip last avening, and the
elevator boy was gazing upward into
his furthest corner, evidently lost in
reverie. Presently there was a distinct
call in the shape of a plaintive
'miaouwn
The elevator boy checked his car
forthwith on a level with the floor
whence the sound came. There was no
one to be seen, and the smallest boy
would have been visible.
."Going up?" asked the ele yator
boy.
"Miaouw miaouw!!" was repeated.
The elevator boy slid open the door
and a gray cat walked dcmurely in,
sprang upon the seat and began licking
her paws until two floors had been
passed when she uttered another cry
and sprang down before the doorway.
The car stopped, the door opened,
and tabbypassed out.
is she a regular p~assenger?" was
asked.
rs she?" said the elevator boy.
"Of course she is. She lives in the
building, she does. She never walks
up or down stairs 'cept on Sunday,
when the elevator amt a-running in
front. If its evening, she uses the
back elevator.
"Where is she going now?"
Shes Jest dropping in to see q friend
of hers. He's a lawyer, and he often
stays late to write, and she goes
IN and sits on the table and watches
him, and he gives hera bit Of some
ting to eat. In bout an hour, before
my times up, she'll come back to go to
the top floor. Mebbe she'll stop a little
in the editorial rooms; then she goes
up to the restaurant. She always gets
there about twelve o'clock, when the
printers get their lunch. They all
know her.
Sometimes" he added, 'she sits
down in the car and keeps me company
for while. She amt any bother. She
knows how to behave herself a
great deal better then some OF
them lawyers and sharp chaps
who are always nSkinp a fal1ar

lines: It is said that there will be
.ome difficulty in carrying into effect
Senator Dawes billregarding the Sioux
reservation, should the bill pass con
yress. Under this bill the government
would acquire 1000 square miles Of
territory, for which it would pay 81, OoO,-
700, %, 200 cows and $1,000 bulls. BY
The provisions of the treaty of 1868 no
turther sale of lands con be made by the
Sioux without lie consent of three
lourths OF the adult male population.
This will not be easily obtained. The
government annually expends on the
thirty thousand Sioux $500, 900, The
major portion of this sum is spent for
provisions and clothing. So long as
these are furnished in abundance, as is
the case at present, the Indians
refuse to work or acquire the
knowledge which will enable
ihem to support themselves. Indian
Agent McGillicuddy, who is at present
IN the city, when asked why he did not
iavor the cutting of of these supplies,
answered that such an act would result
IN the ruin of every settler within q
radius of 100 miles. Too lazy and idle
to work, the Sioux would run off the
stock of the settlers until that source Of
supply was exhausted, and then murder
md pillage would speedily follow. I'm
ler the present condition of things no
trouble is apprehended. Mr. McGil1i-
