A BOTTLE 24s YEARS OLD

bottle, the existence of which is

This bottle was brought from
Germany in 1886 by John Baker
(the German name would probably
be spelled Becker), who settled in
Philadelphia. When he died the
bottle fell into the hands of his son

Fred's son, Karl, and then into the

FIFTY-THREE PAMPERED PETs.-
There is most excellent lady in
Chicago who has fifty three dogs

sent on a scouting expedition. This

for dogs, and, beginning her collec.

in her establishment. They are not
allowed to eat meat, but are treated
frequently to oyster soup, poached
eggs, batter cakes, oatmeal, etc.
Their meals are prepared with as
much care as to cleanliness and
form as though they were human
beings, and the food is served as
nicely as for invited guests. Ten
gallons of milk and twenty pounds
of oatmeal are fed to the dogs
daily, 10 say nothing of the great
Quantities of oysters and eggs.
When the dogs are sick they re.
ceive the most considerate attention
and at no time are they subjected to
scolding or punishement of any
kind. The result of this expert.
ment has been watched by many
with the greatest interest and there
are some developments that would
have made Darwin dance with joy.
There is one fine old St. Bernard,

will not touch his oyster soup un.

THE TOMB OFNAPOLEON.

STANDING on the summit of Di-
ana's Peak the Island of st. Hele-
na looks like a great mat spread
out upon the ocean, with an orchre
and umber border and o little green
patch in the center" The speaker
was MI. J. A. Mcknight, the Unit
ed States Consul to St. Helena,
who is now in Washington on leave
of absence.
"ls the land fertile?' inquired the
"Post."
"In some places it is, but even
these are not cultivated. The peo-
ple ere indolent, and can live on
fish and rice all the year. The
whites on the island are English
and the rest OF the population, in
cludiug Malays, Chinese, negroes
and East Indian coolies. The is
land is plainly of volcanic origin,
and every indication goes to show
that one half OF the extinct Volcano
is sunk on the ocean,
"Of course. Napoleon's tomb is
the main feature of the island?"
"Yes, but it has comparatively
few visitors. The English Steam
ers only stop at the island about two
hours. and The tomb is two hours
ride distant, so that passengers who
might wish to see the tomb canno
leave the vessel. Two or three
times year there is a sort of pill
grimage to the tomb. This is
when the French transports, return
ing from New Caledonia to France,
stop at the island. They are old
style ships known as three deckers,
and carrying from 500 to 1900 peo-
pie. Their passengers include
prisoners of war, returned conyicts,
officers, etc, hut all go to Napol-

How TO REAR CHILDREN.-Treat
them kindly.
Don't preach politeness and pro-
priety to them and violate their laws
yourself. In other words. let the
example you set them be a good
one.
Never quarrel in their presence.
If you want to quarrel wait till the
children are gone 10 bed. Then
they will not see you, aud perhaps
Oy that time you may not want to
quarrel.
Never talk ':old folks" talk in
front Of children.
Never speak fippautly of neigh
bors before Children. They NAV
meet the neighbor's children and
have a talk about it. .....
Teach them to think that the
little boy in rags has a heart in him
III spite Of the rags-and stomach

Teach them as they grow older
that a respectful demeanor to 9th
ers, gentle tone Of voice, a kind
disposition, generous nature, an
honest purpose and an industrious
mind, are better than anything else
on earth. Teach them these things
and self-reliance and intelligence

DANGERS OF CENTRAL
PARK.
IN. Y. Times, May 29th !

Two little girls, each nine years
of age, Nellie Gregory and Irene
Kuhn, who reside with their par
ents in the fat-house at No. 1852
One hundred and Fifteenth street
were playing near the Sixth avenue
and One Hundred and Tenth street
entrance to Central Park at little
after five o'clock on Tuesday after
noon. They were accompanied by
Belle Gregory, an elder sister OF
Nellie. A man about twenty FIVE
years old, who wore a dark coat
and light pantaloons, with straw
hat, came sauntering along, and
stopped to watch the children at
their play. He seemed greatly in
terested in them, ard succeeded in
engaging the two little girls in con-
versation. After gaining their con
fdence he told them that he knew
a spot over toward Eighth avenue
where there were plenty of wild
flowers, and he asked Nellie and
Irene to 60 with him to gather
some of the flowers. The girls con,
sented and followed the strange
man out of the gate. Belle, mis-
sing her sister. hurried offin search
of park policeman, but was some
time before she succeeded in find
ing Officer William Tracey, who is
attached to the Central Park squad.
She told h N that man had en-
ticed away her little sister and
Irene Kuhn, and be hurried to the
One Hundred and Tenth street
gate and began a search, but neither
the man nor the girls were any
where in sight. After a fruitless
hunt for them Officer Tracey went
to the Thirty-frst Precinct Station
and notified the police of what ne
| considered the abduction Of Nellie
| and Irene. A general alarm was
sent out decribing the man and the
two girls, and Belle rushed breath
lessly to her home to notify her OWL
| and Irene's parents of their disap
pearance.
Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Kuhn
we're for q few moments almost fran
tic at the supposed kidnapping OF
their children, but before either ot
them had time to think Of any
course of action to take the two
missing little girls, walked into the
house. They reported that the
strange man had led them over to {
place on Eight avenue. which they
could not accurately describe
where he expected, he said, to fine
| some flowers for them. When III
| reached the spot there were nt
flowers to be seen. On the way
he talked pleasantly to them, tolc
them that he was single man an(
| had no children Of his own, ant
asked them how they would like t.
90 and live with him and be hi
little girls. The children told hin
that they wanted to 60 home, ant
the man, turning around and see
ing policeman in the street jus
behind him, told them to 60, ant
| he himself hurried off toward NintI
| avenue. 1t is believed that tn
unknown man would have kidnap
| ped them but for the sudden ap
| pearance of the policeman within
hearing distance.

York, the other night there was
present a gentleman who goes
little in society, but whose charac-

desirable acquaintance. A charming
lady who was present repoached him
for abse1ting himself from her en-
tertainments.

We have large stock Of advice
for young men constantly on tap,
and we now warn them against
wearing tight pants. Tight pants
of course, are properly managed
but the least carelessness in hand
ling them is apt to bring ruin and
desolation where Joy and peace
should reign. They are apt to
create and breach between the best
of friends, particularly if the coat
is not long enough to cover the
breach. And that reminds US OF
Dobyn. He had habit lit cost
him S5O) of wearing a short pair
of pants so tight he could scarcely
breathe. Last Sunday he went
out to see his best girl and took a
stroll. After walking about for
some time they found shady spot
and concluded to take lest- 1t

| down, but he finally settled down
on the grass, and as he did so q
sound smote upon his ear that made
him turn pale and tremble with
fear. He looked sick and his eyes
had a far away stare in them that
told of a souls misery. He won
dered if the fair creature at his
side had heard the noise, and cast
q sidelong glance at her. She evl
dently had, for her face was flush
ed and such a look of reproach was
in her eyes that he shuddered and
wanted to say it wasn't him, but
he knew she wouldn't believe it.
and just then he sneezed with 9
jerk that nearly took his head OF
and that terrible noise was repeated
The girl got up and started towarc
home, and poor Dobyn sat there
the picture of untold agony, unit
she was out of sight. Then he go'
up and examined the extent of thu
catastrophe. The breach must have
been very serious, as he did no
reach home until after dark.
