How Cities Spring up Out West.

Providence News: One day I was
driving my engine over the prairie al
the rate Of forty miles an hour, without

est town to be thirty miles distant. Bat
as glanced ahead l was astonished to
see thatI was approaching large city.

mirage.
Jim" says to the fireman "what's
this placer"
Blamed if l known says Jim staring
out Of the cab. 81 declare il there ain
new town grown up here since we
went over the line yesterday"
81 believe you are right. Jim. Ring
the bell or we shall run over somebody
SO slowed up and we pulled into a
large depot. where mOre'n 500 people
were waiting to see the first train come
to the place. The Conductor learned the
name of the new place put it down on
the schedule and we went on,
"Jim" says |, as we pulled ont, keep
vonr eyes open for new towns. First
you know we'll be RAINING by
s0ne strange place.
That's sop says Jim. "And hadn't
we better git one the brakemen to watch
out on the rear platform for towns that
spring up after the engine gets by"

Talmage on Amusements.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
DR.. Talmage has learned wisdom
while trying to teach the people. He no
longer takes straight-laced view of
life and the requirements of the young
in their efforts to find the sunny side of
the path through this vale of tears. For
several weeks the noted Brooklyn divine
has been preaching series of sermons
on amusements and in these has given
his congregation some excellent advice.
He frankly admits that he long tried to
find harm in the Innocent amusements
which are found in every home and
church circle. He tried to convince
himself that it was as harmful to dance
liz the parlOr to the music of the plane
as TO go the public ball, and that the
theater was but an outer court to the
retreat OF Prince BeelZebub. But there
was too much human nature locked up
in his breast, and magnify the sins Of
these amusements as he would, he could
not find it in his heart to honestly con-
denim and place them in the category of
influences attendant upon his Satanic
majesty And now in his old age feels
more like a boy than ever, and as he
looks upon the honest enjoyment and
innOeent pastimes by the young he finds
more to commend and less to condemn.
While DR.. Talmage has changed
ground or the question Of amusements,
he has not like so many gone from one
extreme to another. He sits as fair
and upright judge, admitting the good
and condemniHg the evil, and few hon
est mea and women who attend the
theater, indulge in the dance and card
playing, and in so many ways break
oyer the old barriers placed around those
who came into the chur chfOld, but VIII
see the justice of his position and admit
as true what he says about amHsemen's
The preachers test of the value Of
amusements, of whatever sort, is a
sound practical one. He says if your
amusements keep you frOm,a nights
healthy sleep, and you get up in the
morning with yawn and unified for
the days work because the elasticy has
been taken out of you, then such amHse-
ments are wrong, While money spent
in innocent pleasures is a good invest
ment, worth more than the transaction
that yielded you hundred or a thOus-
and dollars, you have no warrant in
Scripture to indulge yourself in the
pleasure or excitement which deprives
your family Of their rights. "Exeur-
siOns that in a day make tour of the
whole months wages" champagne sup
pers which cheat the ehildren's wardrobe
carOusings which burn up the boys prim-
err. are not to be commended as health
full and harmless amussmsnts. This Sc
ries of sermons by DR.. Talmags might
be read with profit by the young, and by
the old as we'll, and every man who does
read with an honest heart will find much
more to commend in his teachings than
to find fault with.

An Offers shrewd scheme.

London Globe: In the geological gar
dens there was an otter that had q eOu-
pie Of young ones. One day in February
these young ones got into the pond and
were quite unable to climb up its per-
ptndlcular sides. The mother appeared
anxious to get them out, and made sew
eral useless attempts to reach them from
the side of the pond. She then plunged
into the water and, after playing with
one Of them for some time, she put her
head close to its ear, as If to make 1t un-
derstaRd her intention: and then sprang
out Of the pond, while the young one
elung tightly by its teeth to her tail
And then, having landed Ii, she forth.
with rescued the other one in the same

Oats Grew In his Ear.
From the Port Jervis Gazette.

From the Port Jervis Gazette.
One day last fall small boy, named
Washington Denis0n, who is learning to
be barber at William Hlldsbrant's shop
White Plains, had his ears filled with
oats by some boys with whom he was
skylarking in a barn. The boy scratched
and cleaned out, as he thought, all of
the horse feed, and went home about his
business. About six weeks ago the boy
was taken with severe pain in his ear.
His head swelled up and he was in aw-
full agony. All remedies failed and his
mother took him to doctor in New York
city, and he removed two kernels Of oats
which had sprouted and taken root in
the boys ear. He is now perfectly well

TUE TWO WIVES,
A Charming Little story from Old World
stores.

stores.
In certain city there were two wives
named Gerda and Hulda, Although
their homes adjoined, these wives were
in very different social stations, for Ger
do was the wife of a very proud and very
rich man, while Hulda was the wife of an
humble artisan. Gerda's house was lofty
and speciOus and was adorned with most
costly and beautiful things, but Hulda's
house was a scantily furnished little
cottage. The difference in their social
stations did not however, prevent Gerda
ana Hulda from being very friendly in
a proper fashion. and the two frequent
ly exchanged visits while their hus.
bands were away from home.
One day Hulda was at Gerda's house
and Gerda said:
Il must show you The painting we
have just received from Paris. 1t is the
most beautiful painting in the world
and 1t cost a princely sum of money
And Gerda took Hulda into an adjoin-
ing chamber and uncovered the picture,
and for long time. Hulda stood admir-
ing it in silence. 1t was indeed mas
ter piece of art. Such beauty of coneep-
tiOn, such elegance of desiga, and such
nicely in execution had never before
been seen. IL was marvel of figure
and color and effect.
lis it not the most beautiful picture
in all the world?" asked Gerda.
at is very beautiful" replied Hulda
"but it is not the most beautiful picture
in all the world"
Then Gerda took Hulda into another
chamber and showed her.a jeweled ma
sic box which the most cunning arti-
sans in all Switzerland had iabOred for
years to produce.
you shall hear 1t make music" said
Gerda.
And Gerda touched the spring and the
music box discOursed harmony such
as Hulda's listening ears had never
heard before. 1t seemed a. il noun
tain brook, summer zephyr and "a wild
wood bird were in the box vying with
each other ia the sweet melodies.
"Is it not the most beautiful music in
all the werld?" asked Gerda.
1T Is very beautiful replied Hulda,
"but not the most beautiful music in all
the world"
Then Gerda was sOrely vexed.
"You said that of the picture" said
Gerda, "and you say it of the music.
Now tell me Hulda where is there to be
found more beautiful picture and
where more beautiful music?"
"COme with me Garda," said Hulda.
And Hulda led Gerda from her stately
mansion into her own humble cottage
'See there upon the wall near the
dOOr?" said Hu Ida.
II see nothing but stains and marks
Of dirt" SAID Gerda. where is your
picture of which you spoke?"
"They are the prints of baby hand
said Hulda, "YOu are weman and a
wife, and would you not exchange all
the treasures of your palace for the An
ger marks of little hand upon your
tinted walls?"
And.Gerda made nc reply.
Then Hulda went to corner and
drew forth pair of quaint, tiny shoes,
and showed them to Gerda.
"These are a baby's shoes" said Hulda
and make music no art can equal
Other sounds may charm the ear and
delight the senses, but the music of O
baby's shoe thrills the heart and brings
the soul into communion with the an
gels"
Then Gerda cried, "Tis true, 0 Hulda!
it's true and she bowed her head and
wept. For she was ehildless.

A Farmer Attacked by Weasel

New York Sun: DelOs Lante, an Elk
county farmer, has been annoyed greatly
this winter by weases in his poultry
yard and houses, the blOOdthirsty little
animals having killed his fowls by the
score, and defed all efforts to trap them.
On Saturday Mr.. Lante was walking
through stony field on his farm and
saw a weasel run into big heap Of
stones piled loosely in the middle of the
field. He had walking stick, and going
to the stone pile, began to throw down
stones to get at the weasel or scare him
out. Presently weasel jumped out, and
he struck it with his cane. 1t did not
run away, but sprang at Lantes' throat
the spot a weasel instinetively tries to
seize. The farmer struck at it again and
hit 1t, but it returned gamoly to the at
tack, and, whether in answer to a signal
or not the farmer does not know, weasels
began to swarm out of the stone pile on
all sides, and in second were springing
upon Lante, climbing nimbly up his
clothes, trying to reach his face. They
bit him with their sharp teeth, and find
ing that he would be unable to keep the
savage little blO0dsuckers from fasten-
ing their teeth in his neck without help,
he shook them off az best he could and
started at the top of his speed for home.
The weasles followed him until no scaled
the fence. His hands were bleeding from
