Unwilling to Tell.

It is well to be strictly truthful,
even with the facts. She questioned
thea upon the points she had given.
Several queries had been put, and
she finally reached the stupid boy in
the corner.
"Wel, Johnny" she said, ''have
you been paying attention?"
"Yes'm," he answered, promptly.
"I'm glad to hear it. Now can
you tell nae what there is in the
spring."
"Yes'm, I can but [ don't want to.
sob yes, you 10. Don't be afraid.
You have heard the other scholars.
Be a good boy now, and tell us what
there is in the sprirg?'

A Lawyers Loss.
New York Herald.

An eminent lawyer of the Jefferson
market police court rushed up to Clerk
Morgan the other day:
what have they done with William
Grant?" he asked breathlessly.
Mr. Morgan took another glass of
ice-water, famed his eye glasses, wip-
ed off his forehead, and looked over
the record book.
William Grant, discharged" he
replied.
by thunder!" exclaimed the laws
yer, banging his fist on the clerks
desk.
Whats the matter with you?" cried
Mr., Morgan. Don't you know it's a
hot day?'
"Dischargedl" exclaimed the laws
yer, again grabbing Mr.. Morgan's
fan.
Eyes, discharged" retorted Mr..
Morgan heatedly, trying TO recover
the fan; lit may be novel sensation
to have client discharged, but you
ought to try and bear it. Gimme that
fan"
The lawyer gave back the fan and
explained.
IT don't care a cent what they did
with Grant," he said, but don't you
see, now he's discharged before | got
here I don't get any fee. And I did
want to have shave today" he add
ed regretfully, as he walked away
rubbing his stubby chin.

Making Cigarettes .
New York Sun.

How many cigarettes can q girl
make IN day?" was asked of man
ufacturer recently.
''That depends upon how nimble
her fingers are. A smart, quick girl
can make about $500. The pay is
from 70 to so cents per 1000, accord
ing TO the grade of cigarette made.
There are very few girls who can make
more than 1000 per day. Making the
cigarettes looks easy enough, but if
you should try it you would find it
very hard and tedious. When a girl
goes to her work in the morning she
receives a small bundle of papers and
24 pounds of tobacco, from which she
must make / 200 cigarettes. A small
piece of extra heavy paper is used IN
rolling a cigarette. One edge is past~
ed fast to a piece of marble or smooth,
fiat stone about one foot square that
is on table. A stick about a foot In
length and about as thick as match
is used to paste with. The
paste is made of pure starch
and water. The cigarette paper
is laid on the heavy paper. and
a small quantity of tobacco is put on
it. Then the edge of the heavy paper
is turned over, and by sliding The fiat
of the hand over it, the cigarette is
rolled. Then the paste stick is run
over one edge Of the cigarette paper,
and one more roll completes the
After the ends are cut off
it is ready for the trade.
Great care must be used when roll
ing and pastlng, for if any were past
ed crooked or soiled ia any manner,
or made too hard, or too soft, the 1000
would be returned to the maker, who
would have to make them over again.
This happens very often, and is a loss
of several hours to the maker. There
may be plenty Of enjoyment in smok-
ing cigarettes, but there is none in
making them"

THE COMING MAN.

The Coming man | sing; the Coming Man
Evolved iii nature since the world began
BY Energy Divine; the Man oretold
Forever more. whom Hope and Faith behold
All voices shall he hear, all volumes read;
Probe to the heart of every code and creed
But uncut pages of Creations book;
In life itself for life's deep secrets look;
Intent his heart and vigilant his brain
The seventh essence of the truth TO gain.
He shall be humble, yet supremacy bold
The scroll of Times experience to unfold;
Where Science lifts her daring fiambeau high
He greets the glowing torch with fearless eye;
Where, past the known, Religion wings her high
His solemn gaze pursues her starry light.
Not knowledge only enters ia the plan
And contamination of the Coming Man,
And not belief alone, however true;
The best is not to rest, it is TO do;
The Coming Man shall be man of deeds
Employing substance and supplying needs,
His wIsest word shall bear fighting act,
And all his speculation bloom to fact;
The goodness of his ethics he shall prove
By logical result of active love.

THEORIES ABOUT CHOLERA.
Are Hts Causes MeteOric or is the
Scourge to be QueIled by Vaccina-
ing According to the Theory of
Germs.
Sunday Telegraph.

Now that we are plunging hot-foot
into the very piping times when, if
ever, disease will make it's advance
GA oar crowded cities, the philoso-
pliers of the press begin to make their
researches into the expected cholera
scourge and it's history.
It has been settled in these research
es that cholera made its first appear
ance in this country at Quebec on
June s. 1882. reaching New York on
June 81 of the same year. 1t did not
come again until May, 1848, and cons
tlnued in various parts of the United
States until November Of that year.
Cholera IS said to be epidemic in the
region OF the Ganges, and many
theories are advanced to account fer
the manifestations Of the disease in
Europe. It has been shown that they
are contemporaneous with unusual
meteorological conditions and such
phenomena as earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, etc. It is asserted that at
these periods the earth passes through
portions of space filed with meteoric
bodies, which exert malign influence
upon our atmosphere. French scien-
lists who uphold this theory predict
that the next general epidemic of
cholera in Europe will occur In 1899.
Some contend that the amount of
ozone in the atmosphere has marked
effect upon choleraic manifestations.
The theory at present attracting the
most attention is the parasitic or germ
theory of infectious disease, which
will be referred to later on. The most
potent cause Of its transmission and
rapid spread is the failure to observe
sanitary rules and conditions-to en-
force such measures as will best con-
duce to cleanliness and good health.
Certain kinds of soil. as open, pors
Gus, gravelly kinds, allow poisonous
excrements and germs TO penetrate to
such depth as TO infect springs, wells
or other sources OF water used for do
nestle purposes, and drains, sewers
and water courses, circulate this
water under and among the dwellings
of city. The effiuvia from sewers
and accumulatinns of decaying matter
of any kind are fertile elements of dis
ease. Wherever these conditions exs
ist the scourge, If introduced, will be
pfOpagalSu anu WIuoly uIA uSeu.
The harbor of MarseilIes, for in
stance, has but three narrow outlets to
the sea. Into these enclosures of tide
less water the sewers poured the filth
and objections of the entire city when
the cholera ragged most fercely. This
harbor is great cesspool, the waters
OF which, under the sultry sun of mid
summear becomes more putrid and
pestilent. Vessels might leave the
port apparently free from contagion,
after the most rigid scrutiny and pre-
cautions on the part of the health Of
fcers, and yet develop the disease
thereafter. It's condition is no better
now than it was last year, and can not
be until some system of subaqueous
conduits carries the ceaseless flood of
sewerage further out to sea. Toulon

WHY TEITZEL GOT MAD.
A Practical Joke Played on New
Yorker i'm Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Record.

Mr.. j. Y. Teitzel, New York faw>
yer. who, with his wife, has been at
the Girard House for the past few
days, is about the maddest man In
Philadelphia. The reason for Mr.
Teitzels loss Of temper may be found
in the following advertisements which
appeared yesterday IN the Record and
Times respectively:
A MAIDEN disposed to matrim ony,
handsome aud accomplished, send
card and photo to room %, Girard
House. immediate. J. B.
WANTED-A Pug Dog, imported
breed; apply at once, as applicant is
going out of town; dogs must be pro
duced by 8 a. NJ, July Z, 1885. Room
90, Girard House.
At $50 o'clock a young man carry
nag a basketful of pug puppies, APP
psarea, and the clerk sent him up to
Mr.. Teitzels room. The lawyer sent
back word he didn't want a dog,
hadn't advertised for dog, hated all
dogs, pug dogs Ia particular, and did
not wish to be disturbed by eny more
people with dogs. From that hour
until 10 o'clock eleven men, womea
and children had lugged, carried or
showed pug dogs into the Office of the
hotel, and the last half dozen were
granted interviews by Mr.. Teitzel, who
was waiting in the reading room for a
friend. One man, thick-necked,
heavy-jawed specimen, who said he
had walked all the way from German
town, made such a fuss that, in order
to pacify him, the New Yorker gave
HIM enough to pay his return fare and
a couple of drinks.
The steady flow of dogs had just
ceased when the first of the advertise
ments bore fruit, in the shape Of a
very much overdressed damsel of am
certain age. who vainly eudeavored to
blush as she handed the clerk strip
of paper with the newspaper card past
ed upon it.
Is Mr.. J. B. in2" she asked, because
if he is, I'm going out of town and
would like to have few minutes con-
versation before [ 60" She was told
that J. B. was not in, and would not
be in, as he had left for Boston half
an hour previously with a young wo~
man dressed in light blue, after buy
ing her pair of diamond earring at
the jewelers. opposite. This informa~
ton, which was communicated by the
clerk while Mr.. Teitzel was standing
within three feet of the woman, APP
peared to distress her, for she mutter-
ed: "Drat the hussy!" and hurried

Their features wore sign of loss,
And CLEANS of unextinguished pain.

In this strange, spirit-peopled space;
This long-imagined land of shade,
Still with my Eastern pride OF face?"
esAlas! | suffered much,' she said,

A Decorated Goblet.


An interesting home made method Of
natural decoration consists simply in taking
glass or goblet, and placing in tho interior
little common salt water. In day or 80
slight mist will be seen upon the glass
hourly this will grow, until In a very short
time the glass will present beautiful APP
pearance, the glass being enlarged to twice
its thickness and covered with beautiful salt
crystals, packed upon one another exactly
like some pecunAr fungus or animal growth.
1t Is necessary to place dish beneath the
glass. as the crystals will run over, II the
term can be used.
The glass can be made additionally beau
tiful by placing in the salt aud water
some common red ink; this will be abb
sorbed, as 1t were, and the white surface
covered with rich red coat, which In turn
can be covered by blue or any color by the
introduction of inks or tints. No more sim.
Pile method of producing inexpensive and
beautiful ornaments can be imagined, and
by using different shapes of vases and
shades, an endless variety of beautiful
forms can DO produced, pleasing alike to
young and old.
