The China Dog Craze.

who entered Chestnut street crockery
store the other day.

the last one this morning." replied the
salesman.
ooh, that is too bad. l am simply
ruined without one. Can't you get one
for me? Do you expect any more? I've
gone everywhere, and nobody has one
left. No matter about the price-only
get me black spitz.
'Tll take your order, ma am, and
try to get one for you," said the sales
man as the lady left the store.
What does that mean?" asked re-
porter who heard the conversation.
'Why does she come here for black
spitz?"
"Oh, she wants q china spitz, not a
live dog. Don't you know about the
rage for china dogs? No? Well, sir,
it's the thing now to make collections
of dogs in china, def, glass. bisque and
everything of that kind and arrange
them on parlor etageres or cabinets.
Some people try to get as many dogs
as possible, without regard particularly
to the kind of q dog; others make a
point of getting more of one kind than
somebody else. Now the lady who was
here minute ago has doubtless seen q
friend who has collected more speci-
mems of the spitz than she had, and o
black spitz being somewhat rare would
be triumph to her.

bell collar here a day or two ago told

Watching and Waiting.

A wan little woman, with q tired,
painful expression, sat in suburban
railroad depot late Saturday evening.
In her arms she held pale, pinched-
faced baby that was seized, at brief in
tervals, with paroxysms of coughing.
With each return of the distressing
cough the baby seemed to grow weak
er and the mother more disturbed.
Piles of bundles of various shapes and
sizes were ranged on each side of her.
Some of them fell at her feet. To these
she gave little heed. She cast anxious
chances at the open door rs if momen-
tarily expecting some one. Every foot
fall on the outside frightened her per-
ceptihly. The lines on her brow deep
ened and her agonized face grew paler
after each look that brought only dis
appointment Bending tenderly over
her little suffering babe, stupor seemed
to overcome her. Aroused by the ba-
by's cries of pain, she started up and
looked appealingly around, exclaiming
anxiously: 'Oh, God! will he never
come?''
She sat late into the night. Train
after train went, and still she budged
not. The last one had gone for the
night. Sympathetic bystanders inquir-
ed why she fingered.
George told me to wait for him,
she replied, absently.
The baby had remained quiet for
some time, and now no longer respond
ed to its mothers caresses. A gutter
begrimed man staggered into the room.
Stalking over to the group, he shook
the little woman roughly and babe her
get ready to 60 home. Without looking
up, she said: II knew it would break
my heart if George took to drink again;
but baby's all right
An insane mother, dead baby, and
drunken husband presented sickening
tableau in the depot at midnight. = Chi

There was social gathering at a
Rockland house the other evening, and
among those present was young man
from Boston, who had come down for
q season to rest his intellect, and du-
ring the evening he corraled pretty
girl in one corner of the room and laid
himself out to talk her dizzy and i'm

hour OF two about himself, the GIRL now

you've been sick for a fortnight, and
the doctor said that if you came here
tonight you must make no effort at all
you must keep your head rested"

demurely, ''don't worry. am not ex-

A BIacksnake's Feast.

While | was moving in the meadow
heard couple of old guinea hens max
ing fearful noise, and upon going to
where they were, found that a very
large blacksnake had coiled itself
around the nest in which were three
eggs. | soon concluded from his looks
that he had been swallowing eggs, so l
took up my moving blade and cut his
head off pretty well back of the first
egg. Standing upon his tail with one
foot, and pressing his body with the
back of my moving blade, very soon
landed nineteen eggs, safe and sound,
all in pile. Then with q stick [ very
carefully rolled them back into the
nest, making twenty-five in all. The
old hen, after considerable sparring
around, went on to the nest again, and
in a few days came strutting up the
yard with nineteen little chicks. Upon
going back to the nest | found three
eggs which had not Matched, and they
were rotten. -I1oy, (MO.,) Free Press.

For Sale,

A citizen in the western part OF the
city who has house for sale, says that
he has learned more of human nature
in the last three months than IN all his
life before. Nine people out of ten who
come to look at his SO, 900 house have
not SO to buy with. The same proper
ton are deliberate liars. Nineteen out
of twenty want every room changed
about. Ten out of twelve 90 all through
the house and then object to the street.
Not one single woman out of the scores
who have called at the house had any
other idea than to satisfy q temporary
curiosity One woman had every room
measured to see if her carpets would fit
and then suddenly discovered that the
house was q whole block from the street
cars. Another sat for two hours and
planned how she would fix every room
and then left in huff because there
was not o Methodist church on the next
corner. A third was about to leave
$500 to bind the bargain until next day
when it suddenly occurred to hes that
her sister out in Pontiac might not like
the location. Out of sixty or seventy
men who called every one liked the To-
cation, thought the property cheap, and
would return next day. The citizen fl
nally got tired of such conduct, and
now when any one calls he asks:
'Do you want to look at the house or
the furniture?'
ooh, the house. of course"
"Wel, this house stands on the north

A Modest Man.

Chinese Gordon, one of the bravest
of modern soldiers, has an honorable
hatred of publicity, and a sensitive
shrinking from laurels and laudations.
An incident recorded in the story of his
life illustrates these characteristics.
He had sent his journal of the Tapping
war home from China, mot wishing it
to be seen outside his family" A min
lister interested in the rebellion heard
of the manuscript, and was so struck
by its contents that he sent it to the
press in order that his colleagues might
have the benefit of reading it. Late
one evening it so happened that Cor
don inquired about his journal. He
was told what had occurred. He arose
from the table, left the house, and
posted of to the minister's residence
Not finding him at home, he went to
the printers, demanded his manuscript
and gave orders that what copies had
been printed should be destroyed and
the type broken up. What eventually
befell the manuscript is unknown, but
it is certain that no one has seen it; in
fact, there is every probability of its
having been destroyed. - Cincinnati

A Bit of Advice from the Cpur
d'Alene.

The glowing aud enthusiastic reports
/ read before leaving Chicago repre-
sented Eagle City to be in state of
hopeful excitement, while, alasi there
is no trace of excitement to be found
now. The town is quiet aud business
dull, and although everybody seems
sanguine, or ut least pretends to ap-
pear so, reaction seems to have set
in. Contrary TO what we heard at Bel
KNAPP, we found here that the mines
could not be worked yet, while the
snow is still deep in the mountains and
the water rising rapidly. Only a few
claims are being worked now, and
these Intellectually. There are no cap
italists here; a great many if not the
most of the claims are being held by
men who have no means to open and
work them, and there are few claims
in which an interest could not be bought
cheaply. There is not n gulch within
twenty miles of Eagle City that is not
located, but mining is an expensive
business, and, there being no money in
camp, things do not look very bright
at the present moment. Everybody
thinks that it will turn out a good
camp after all; but there is no chance
working the claims before the snow
disappears. Although this might be
a good country for prospectors who
have sufficient none to hold out, or
for capitalists who wish to speculate,
it is no country for the poor man. Liv-
ing is dear, chances for employment
none, there being no money in camp to
employ labor; accommodation is scan
ty and awfully expensive. In short, l
should earnestly advise everybody ex-
cept capitalists not to think of coming
out before the end of June, if at all,
for those who come with but little
money viii spend it before they can get
employment, and those arriving here
with no money stand no chance of
making q living. &C Correspondence Chi

Three for Six ShiIlings.

A Northern man who remains in q
Southern town over twenty-four hours
without encountering the colored man
who is canVassing for subscriptions to
erect q new church building may con-
slider himself lucky. There is hardly q
neighborhood in which the colored peo-
pie haven't more churches than they
can maintain, but the work of canvass
ing never lets up for day.
One day at Birmingham an old dar-
key dropped down upon half dozen
of us at the Nixon House and explained
that his church building had been
blown away by cyclone. We chip
ped in quarter apiece and sent him
off, but in the afternoon he Overhauled
US down town and wanted as much
more. In the evening, rs we reached
the depot, he was there with a third
demand.

aren't you going it pretty strong?"

programme for such party reads
about as follows: Each lady will bring
a basket containing supper for two.
The baskets will be placed in the hands
of committee who will number them.
Numbers will be placed on slips of pa
per TO correspond with the baskets.
The gentlemen will draw these slips.
Then each will get his basket which

Enlightened Selfishness.

By comparison of himself with others,
by taking note of the points Of agree
ment and the points of difference be-
tween himself and others, the right
minded man learns to do his duty to
his neighbor, while the wrong-minded
man learns to take undue advantage
of his neighbor. In common speech the
first of these is called unselfish and the
latter selfish, but the former term is
wrongly used, since both courses of ac-
ton, the good and the evil, alike spring
from self. The good man does good
because it gratifies him, pleases him,
makes him happy to see others happy,
and TO know that he has been the
means of making them so; while the
bad man does evil because it pleases
his depraved nature to make others
miserable. When injured or aggrieved
we turn. 1t is human nature. The
man who only feels like hurting some
pody when he has himself been hurt, or
when he has seen somebody do some
one else an injury, may be called q
model man.
The true philanthropist is not unself-
ish. Was it not well-known philan-
thropist Of Washington who recently
said that the only things he seemed to
really possess were those he had given
away? Such a man as Peter Cooper
was as selfish as any less-loYed million.
aire, and derived much qualification
from his kind of selfishness. Rich and
poor, young and old, man and woman,
can obtain a more intense pleasure
from deed of goodness than from it's
opposite. But there are natures that
are almost utterly incapable of this
pure pleasure, and love only to show
their power of inflicting misery. III
our young of both sexes, both at home
and at school, were taught the happi-
ness of goodness, the number of those
evil spirits whose pleasure consists in
doing i'll deeds would become smaller,
and society would improve. The fear
of punishment in future state will
never be sufficient by itself to make
men abstain from present qualification.
1t is too far off, and all of US hope we
can dodge it somehow.-PhitadeLphta
