with IN effort. One day some pie was
servcj that was thought villainOus than
anything that had gone before it. The
man at the head of the table looked upon
the faces of his companions and it occurr-
ed to him that a condition nearer akin to
rebellion was pictured upon the face of
his vis-avis than upon the countenance
of any other of the unfortunates. Ad-
dressing him sweetly he said: "What do

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
How an Alabama Lady Welded a
Lover in Jail.

A beautiful romance was brought to
happy ending to-day, says a Chattanooga
special of the 18th inst to the Nashville
American. Some time since a young
man named Girard was sentenced to the
workhouse for a year for striking a sta
ton house keeper. Girard was on spree
at the time. Some time since the county
Judge received a letter from his betroth-
ed, Miss EhrIer, of Birmingham, Ala,
saying that they had been engaged for
three years, and urged him to use his IN
fuence to have the youngman pardoned.
He had nine months yet to serve, but his
conduct had been so meritorious that it
was decided to relinquish the remainder
of the sentence. To-day the young lady
arrived. The young man knew nothing
Of the pardon or her expected arrival un-
til a few moments before she came, and
was fairly crazed with JOY. The girl
came to the stOckade in a close hack, ac-
companied by the county Judge and Rev.
J. W. Bachman. The Judge had the
couple join hands and read the pardon.
The minister then made the twain one,
and the romance ended. The lady is re-
fined and highly accomplished and the
young man a skilled civil engineer.

drop Of honest sweat, and other trade

shows how much they enjoy their work

brains and hands. They are studying
definitions, in the only dictionary which
really defines the meaning of such words

THE BOY WAS VERY SMALL.
He was TOw-headed, too, and He
Fooled with Hose, as Follows.


In busy part of Fourteenth street, on
Saturday afternoon, very small tow
headed boy espied a coil of inch hose ly-
ing on the outer edge of the sidewalk.
The brass nozzle, glistening in the sun
light, seemed to fascinate him. For a
moment he bent over it, as the bird is
said to hover over the head Of a serpent
when fascinated by the glitter Of the rep
tiles eye. Then he reached out his hand
and he smiled when he found that the
bright and pretty thing was within his
reach. Grasping the nozzle, he drew it
towards him, sitting down in the opera
ton. Then he took a new and closer
hold, and tugged at the nozzle as though
trying to raise himself to his feet. 1t
happened that one of his hands clutched
the stopcock, and that the lower end of
coil was connected with a CrOtOn water
pipe. The stopcock turned easily. The
half-inch stream struck the boy in the
face, and he went over backward. He
still clung with one hand to the nozzle,
and the stream smOte him in the right
ear. He tumDled over sidewise, and the
water spurted down the back of his neck.
Then he got on his feet and tried to put
the hose back as he had found it. AS he
lifted the nozzle up, the stream took an
elderly man in the back of the neck, who
turned in surprise and got it full in his
face. Two little girls giggled. The next
moment the small boy had fallen down
and was writhing with the nozzle, and
the stream was chasing the two little girls
across the street.
By this time a crowd of men, women,
and children had gathered. The small
boy tickled a cab horse in the flank with
his next twist of the hose and when the
horse began to kick he started to run with
the nozzle still in his hand and the crowd
fell back respectfully. A small dog that
had failed to comprehend the situation
was drenched and sent up the stree ki-yi-
ing. When the crowd looked from the
dog the boy he had fallen upon the hose,
under him. Around him the dampness
was rapidly increasing. The small boy
seemed to be getting desperate He arose
and made a mighty effort to coil up the
hose. AS he swept the points of the com
pass with the nozzle the crowd fell back
dampened and in disorder.
A woman rushed out Of a store. Ap-
parently she was the small boys mother
ssAd had just missed him. She hardly
recognized him at first, but she acted
with great executive ability as soon as
she had made sure the boy was hers
After she had walked him about half a
block it occurred to him to cry, and he
did.

The Lead Pencil.

Scientific American
There is no lead pencil, and there has been
none for fifty years. There was time when
spiracle of lead, cut from the bar or sheet, suf-
feed to make marks on white paper or some
rougher abrading material The name of lead
pencil came from the old notion that the
products of the Cumberland mines England,
were lead, instead of being plumbago, or graph
ite carbonate Of iron, capable of leaving a lead
colored mark. With the original lead pencil or
slip, and with the earlier styles of the 'leadg
pencil made direct from the Cumberland mine,
the wetting of the pencil was a preliminary Of
writing. But since it has become manufacture
the lead pencil is adapted, by numbers or letters,
TO each particular design. There are grades Of
hardness from the pencil that may be sharpened
to needle point, to one that makes a broad
mark Between the two extremes there are a
number of graduations that cover all the con
veniences of the lead pencil These graduations
are made by taking the original carbonate and
grinding it, and mixing it with a fine quality Of
clay in differing proportions, regard being had
to the use Of the pencil. The mixture is thor
ough, the mass is squeezed through dies to form
and size, it is dried, and incased in its wood

make good the full extent of his Indebtedness. y
President Harris looked suspieiously around
the room and replied, Eyes, it is true that Dun

Mr., smyser placed his hand in his capacious
pocket and hesitated minute, as if feeling for
his wallet
ssHold OF, he interrupted. Glow long have

blandly. II think we made the first discovery
Some time last December ~ ~

The speaker grabbed his hat and cane and
started to 60. Mr. Harris called him back.
ssStay,r he said sYou must not do anything
rash, Smyser. You will ruin us if you do as
you threaten
The directors arose greatly agtated. II is
said that one made an attempt to take SIR
Smyer's hat and dust it, while another insisted
on placing his cane where it could be found
easily when he wanted to go.
II tell you gentlemen, I'll not leave this room. /"
said Mr.. Smyser, as look of determination
showed itself on his face, until my name is
erased from Duncan's bond, and, remember,
when you scratch off mine, the other securities
are rendered null Now, which would you rath-
or do, and once more his features were overcast
with determination and defiance, tear up the
bond or be denouncedF
The speaker paused for reply. Tt is said
that he assumed the same attitude that Ajax did
when he defied the lightning There was silence
for minute Then President Harris said 1--WE
will release you. and the directors gave their
willing consent.
Mr. Smyser remained until he saw the bond,
which he had given as Duncans security. de-
stroyed He chuckled gleefully to himself, bid
the bankers good-day, and withdrew
