1t Was in Boston.

Correspondence of the Providence Journal
A charming family hotel was built in
a suburb OF Boston two years since.
1t was finished with all known modern
conveniences and inconvenience.
There were electric bells in a row at
the door, so that the afternoon caller
could ring up nine different and peace
full maid servants before getting into
communication with the family she
came to see; there were fire escapes and
telephones, and elevators and speak
ing tubes, andfor aught [ know, safety
valves and submarine cables. But the
browning Joy of all was the fact that
no children were allowed within it's
walls. 1t was built for the accommo-
dation of childless couples, and to ten
childless couples were the suites let.
How great was the quiet and
calm of that sheltered retreat,
until one ill-starred morning, when
the cry of an infant shrilly and
piteously broke the stiffness! Horror
and indignation on the part Of nine
guiltless couples; and yet so weak is
humanity that before the end of the
second year there were children in
seven of the ten families. The child
less young couples were childless no
more. and when the owner of the
building complained to his friends of
the unfair treatment he had received
at the hands Of his tenants, hey all
laughed in his face and advised him to
let the apartments to bachelors.

Anthracite.
From the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record.
There is material for serious study
in the reports of coal consumption.
The output of the anthracite compa-
MES for eight months of the present
year was 769,357 tons less than the
production for the corresponding pc
Rod of last year. It was over 1,5OO,-
600 tons less than the amount sent
to market for the first eight months
OF 1888. There is evidence Of a steady
decline in anthracite consumption,
while the volume Of the bituminous
trade up to this time has exceeded the
output for the same period Of 1884
by 443,473 tons. The decline in the
aggregate consumption OF anthracite
and bituminous Goals is traced by
many to the inactivity of the railroad
and iron interests, but it is probable
that the gigantic combination of coal
carriers and producers is responsible
for most of the Generalization of the
trade and for the curtailment of the
demand.

Old Uncle Billy Stokes, a colored in

days ago, standing in front of Matt
Killers store, watching the unload

One dray contained, besides several
barrels Of groceries, a number Of boxes
of cheese and a dozen or two boxes of

rested upon the latter, and he in

"Of course 1 WILL" said Mr.. Hitler,
as he handed Uncle Billy a box of the
axle grease and then passed behind
his counter and took a handful of
crackers from the box and gave them
to the old man.
Uncle Billy then walked to the back
door of the store, and, seating himself
on an empty dry goods box, proceed
ed to enjoy his lunch. He had been
there about five minutes when Mr..
Hitler concluded he would see
what progress hewas making. So, 60
ing to the door, he saw the old man,
with his barlow knife in hand, spread
ing the grease on a cracker, while his
jaws were vigorously working and his
mouth and chin covered with crumbs
and grease.
"Well, Uncle Billy" said Mr.. Hitler,
chow do you like your lunch ?"
The old man rested his knife on his
right knee, and, drawing a heavy sigh,
replied: "Boss, dem al crackers am

And he signs and wonders what he will do

And he feels that everything here below

He knows that soon as he goes about
The streets, the small boys will after him shout

THE SINGER OF ONE SONG.
BY HENRY A. BEERS.

He sang one song and died. no more but that;
A single song and carelessly complete.
He would not bind and thresh his chance
grown wheat
Nor bring his wild fruit to the common vat,
To store the acid rinsings, THU and fiat,
Squeezed from the press or trodden under feet
A few slow beads, blood red and honey sweet
Oozed from the grape, which burst and spilledit'
fat.
But time who soonest drops the heaviest things
That weight his pack, will carry diamonds
long.
So through the poets orchestra, which
weaves
One music from thousand stops and strings,
Pierces the note of that immortal song
High over all the lonely bugle grieves.'

The Fourth Finger.

II is generally known fact that tho
ourth, or ring finger, of the human hand
not on par with the other fingers. it
,cing the weakest, least flexible and the
most rebellious in action. Scientific
men explain this feebleness by the theory
hat the lateral tcndons joining the ring
niger to the others composing the hand
n measure paralyze its movements.
To the majority of persons it matters of
course little that one of the fingers should
be of inferior strength to the rest; but
'or the pianist or the player on any
ftringcd instrument it is frequently a
considerable inconvenience. AS art can
in the present day remedy most defects
that incommodc us, foreign medical
man has thought that something might
be done for the ring finger in the case of
musicians. He informs those therefore
especially interested in the matter that
If they wish to have flexible, strong
fourth finger, they have but to submit to
q surgical operation, which consists in
dividing the tendops of the same. This
operation, he says, is scarcely worth call
ing one, so slight is the pain it occasions
the patient, who loses scarcely any blood
by the process. The advanage-and he
considers it an appreciable one-foi
those who ore professional pianists,
harpists or violinists, or who practice
frequently on the piano, is that, after
the operation, the finger becomes as free
rs the Others, being able to work upon
tho keyboard Or strings with equal force
and with the Same facility.-London
Standard.
