Office, who 10 charged with having used his

other Irregularities, has declined to make
any defense before the commission appointed

A Highwayman's Adventure.

Black Bart tells of an experience he
had in Northern California which came
near stopping his career as Il highway
man. He had interviewed party of
travellers by stage and got a small haul
for his trouble. After starting the
stage on, with the gentle admonition 10
the driver to go on and never look
back, or he would drop him, he, as
was his custom, pitched into the brush.
He had not been walking very long
when he heard voices behind him, and
looking down the mountain side, could
see several horsemen and footmen com
ing in his direction at II livei y gait.
They were gaining on him very fast,
and he was compelled TO do something
very suddenly or be captured, and his
only chance for escape was to secrete
himself before they caught sight of
him. He began looking about him,
and noticed large, hollow fir log which
lay on the ground. Piunging into it
head first just before the vigilantes
came in sight, he crawled to the far
Their end of the hole, but he discover
ed. to his horror that he had company,
which, by the peculiar odor emitted,
he concluded was polecat-in fact,
he knew il. Ii was time for tears
but not for retreat, and he lay there in
mortal agony and heard his pursuers
come up and sit down on the log, while
their dog tried TO make the aoquaint-
ance OF The fragrant occupant Of the
hole in the log. The smell finally drove
them away and Bart crawled hurriedly
out, not only sick at heart and with
the world, but terribly sick at the
stomach. He declares that he did not
get over the effects of his experience in
the log for three months afterward,
and that it nearly cured him of his
propensity for robbing stages. - Stock

As Important as Some Others.

Williamsburg policeman yesterday.
On one of the dumps at the Wallabout
basin he noticed IN excavation. As he
slipped down into it his curiosity was
excited by hearing voices. Reaching
the bottom he found II door in the en-
bankment, and opening it be found q
cave in which were three men seated
about stove, smoking and chatting.
He thought they were tramps, and, on
saluting them as such, he was inform
ed that they were the foremen of q
gang of pickers--a class of men who
search the dumps for such articles as
may be carried there with the city re-
fuse.
We're here To catch the first cart,

longing to the society that watches it"

Health and Success.

A sound body has more TO do with
success in life than most persons real
ize. There are instances where men in
continued ill-health have achieved en-
inence. but this is not the rule. Alex.
ander Stephens. of Georgia, and Thad-
deus Stevens, of this state. our old
commoner. were considered remarks
BILE men, because, despite ill-health,
they impressed themselves on the ma
ton. There are other cases in distant
lands-enouyh to prove the rule We
do not, of course, hear OF the many
failures in life resulting from ill-health
The failures, either in speculation or
life, are not paraded. But there are
examples where momentary spasms of
ill-health have clouded the minds of
men of genius, and deranged their
plans. Napoleon lost one of his great
battles because of a fit of indigestion.
And when the mind must carry the all
ments of q diseased body, and yet do
its legitimate work, it evidently must
perform double duty. 1t cannot al
ways do this and succeed. Hence a
healthy body has much to do with sue
cess in life.
One of the first considerations then
in family training is that which relates
to health, and this is the most import
ant in our day, when so much of a
child's life is spent in close school,
rooms and it is compelled to breathe a
vitated, super-heated atmosphere.
Pure air and exercise are Natures
great restoratives, and these need to be
intel!igently and regularly impaired.
The play cure for children is far better
than summer resorts and medicated
waters. Play supposes outdoor exer-
else. 1t imparts buoyant spirits, cheers
the mind, gives healthy tone to the
thought and makes the blood pure and
strong But play alone is not best
as all work is not. .'All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" is a true
adage Sill some work is needed for
its disciplinary influence, and to make
firm the muscles and nerves. This
work should be, So far as possible, out
of doors. But if this cannot be given,
saw and buck for wood in the cellar
is better than no work at all.
health is pure air when sleeping If
children are accustomed to ventilated
rooms, they will ultimately enjoy them,
and will feel oppressed in an unventil-
ated room And they will sleep sound
ly and BEAUTIFULLY when the cold air of
winter is pouring in-so it does not
blow on them. Sleep under such con-
ditions il not affected by troubled
dreams, nor is it followed by nervous
headache. Healthful sleep is dream
less. And this supposes pure air and
not too much heat A cold room is
better than an overheated room. But
one that is sufficiently comfortable for
preparations for retiring to be made
without chill is best. Children thus
reared will grow up beautifully; and
this good health, with intelligent, prac-
teal education and self-reliance, will
be of more value than thousands of I'M
earned capital. Philadelphia CaH.

An Early Age Of Progress.

Durers time was an interesting one
in the history OF Europe, or, we may
say of the world. He was born twenty
one years Lctore Columbus discovered
America. In his day, too, Vasco di
Cana sailed the southern seas; Copper
nicus wrote of his observations and dis
coveries. and all Europe was deeply
agitated by the preaching of the re-
formation by Martin Luther. Men of
thought and power were everywhere
discussing great questions; the genius
of invention was active; the love of the
beautiful was INDUCED, and the gen.
eral wealth and prosperity Of Europe
supported the artists and encouraged
them to strive for great attachments. -

Making an Engraving on Wood.

OF course, you know that such pic
lures as YOU see in books or in ST.
Nicholas have to be engraved upon
some surface from which an impress
ion can be taken, before they can be
printed in The book or magazine And
you probably know that the kind of en-
cravings generally used in such books
are wood-engravings.
In wood-cngraving, the lines that are
to ink the paper are left standing, while
the parts between are cut array from
the surface of the block, so that when
an ink roller is passed over an engrav-
ing of this k nd it leaves all the lines
tipped with a coating of ink, to be
picked up by the sheet OF paper which
comes in contact with it. So, you will
see, the wood-engraver must sink two
lines in the block to make one line
which will print. OF course, consider
ing the hardness of the wood and the
delicacy required for the lines, this is
very slow and tedious work. You may
easily form an idea of how tedious it is
by placing penny over any portion of
an engraved picture, such as that of
Monkstown Castle, in the December
number of ST. Nicholas, making a
light mark around the penny with n
black lead pencil, and then by the aid
OF magntying glass counting the
lines within the circle You will see
that your penny has covered more than
one hundred lines; and then you must
remember that at every place where
the shading in the drawing which the
engraver is engraving grows lighter or
darker he has TO change the width OF
the line; for just in proportion to the
thickness of the black line left between
the two white ones will be the tint
or color of the corresponding por-
ton of the printed picture. These
changes are called by engravers
stops" And where there are many
of these, one square inch of engraving
is fair days work
| have spoken of drawing, for the
engraver always has drawing to
work from. Sometimes it is made
from the wood block, but ii is more
frequently made by the artist much
larger than the block on which it is to
be engraved, and reduced copy of it
produced upon the block by photogra-
phy. By this plan, the artist can work
much more freely, and the engraver is
enabled 10 have the LARGE drawing in
front of him, besides the reduced copy
of the same which he is cutting into
lines upon the block. W. Le10is Fra

Tragedy I'm a COurt-Room.

The London Telegraph has dispatch
which says: A terrible tragedy was re-
Gently enacted in open court during the
trial of two political prisoners at Lusk,
in the Russian province of Volhynia.
Two Po.cs. named Wierzbicki ana Viii
czinsk, VINO were banisned to Siberia
after the events OF 1868, effected their
escape some months ago, but were late
ly arrested in the province of Volhynia
and brought up for trial. Wierzbicki
is 80 years of age and his companion
43. The jury found both prisoners
guilty of the charge brought against
them, and the former was Consequently
condemned to ninety strokes of the rod
and Punishment for life To the Siberian
mines, while the latter was sentenced
to ten years hard labor IN the Siberian
mines and Punishment for lie.
Har''y had the two unfortunate men
heard ,neir fate than Wierzbicki sprang
to his feet and exclaimed: "Be ac-
cursed, We soul-murderers! You will
not see me Tomorrow" saying which
he plunged a large knife into his neck.
Great confusion ensued, and when the
judge called upon the guard and prison
warder to remove the wounded man
those officials were nowhere to be found
1t was afterward discovered that Wilcz-
inski had escaped but he was recap
tured in the town. Wiersbcki lies in
a precariouS state, little hope being en-
tertained OF lis recovery. The public
prosecutor has ordered the arrest of all
,he officials whose absence from court
permitted WiIczinSki TO get away.
