BOSTON, Sept. 14.-Vincerro Civi, dimin utive Italian barber doing business at 134 Merrimac street, got into quarrel at 5:30 p. m. to-day over trivial matter with Francis McGogly, patron of neighboring saloon. McGogly seized Broom and was proceeding to knock Civi out in one round when the lat ter drew large pocket knife and stabbed McGogly five times. One lunge made bad gash over the right ear, another ripped open his scalp for three inches, third penetrated an inch into the shoulder, a fourth glanced from the third rib and fifth penetrated to within quarter of an inch of the heart. McGogly was taken to the hospital where his chances of recovery are about even. Civi was arrested,

Origin of the students Lamp"

Prominent as ornaments on st. Paul
parlor mantel stand couple of English
lamps, whose claims to relationship are
indisputable as their age, which is known
to reach $50 years They are made of
hammered silver, and are noted for that
prodigality of material our dear, dead
progenitors favored = probably because
the Comstock lode hadn't been discovered
and silver was regarded as worth taking
pains about.
The lady owner of the lamps was asked
by gentleman guest few evenings ago
If she had ever tried to use them as any
thing but ornaments. She replied, with
surprise: @Of course not. They wouldn't
burn. The gentleman made a close
examination, and, fired with desire for
discovery, took one of the lamps to the
dining-room, and with it a students lamp
of the ordinary German pattern. He took
both lamps apart, and, as he suspected,
their plan was precisely similar. The
feed, the wick arrangements, the reservoir
each and all correspondent The infer
ence is plain that the German who has
reaped so rich a reward from his lamps
was an initiative Aladdin. He must have
seen one of these early English fellows
and stolen his ideas bodily therefrom.

Birdie and warble-A Good Story.

One day poor, half-frOzen kitten came to
Birdie Changers house. Birdie had no
brothers or sisters to play with, so she took
the starved little gray cat in and made it well
come She warmed it and fed and gave it a
good bed to sleep in. Under such kind care
the stranger grew fat and sleek. By the time
it was grown it became the most wonderful
cat that ever was Birdie named her pet
Marble, because it purred so loud.
Marble and Birdie were insepaTable friends
If you don't know what ''inSeparable" means,
look for it in the dictionary. Looking up
every word you don't know the meaning of is
a very good exercise for both young people
and old
The cat followed Birdie everywhere. 1t
was very large and strong, as big as a small
dog. For a cat, it was astonishing how in
telligent Marble was. 1t had many cunning
ways, and BRIDES papa taught it to perform
tricks like a dog. Papa would clasp his
hands and put his arms out in front of the
cat as it stood upon the rug. Then he would
say: Jump, Warbler
And Marble would jump through his arms
and out over his hands as if it understood
just what was meant; which to be sure it did.
If Marble was watching for a mouse at a
hole and anybody came near it was accus-
toned to raise its paw a sign to the person
to keep back and not make noise. Marble
her circus cat.
But one day Marble did Birdie a service
which she will never forget as long as she
lives. 1t is not easy to see how cat could
save a little girls life, but that was what
Marble did. Listen, and you shall know
how.
One summer morning Birdie took puss's
dish of milk out beside the garden wall as
usual She called Marble, and heard a low
new Just beside a crevice in the stones.
Marble was watching for something-a mouse,
Birdie thought. He lifted his paw to warn
his little mistress to keep back. But she went
ON and said:
''Come, Marble, this rich new milk is better
than a mouse. Come and lap it"
Suddenly Marbles eyes cleaned like two
balls of fire. He waved his tail back and
forth in fury He looked like tiger about to
spring He raised his paw again to warn
Birdie off But she was determined to see
what was disturbing her cat so, and took
several steps forward. She heard a rafting
in the grass. Marble leaped into the air at
the same moment, and came down upon the
spot where she heard the rafting. There was
more rafting, and a tremendous kissing and
flashing and noise. The girl was frightened
and screamed aloud.
Her mother and grandmother ran to her in
an instant. They saw with horror the cat
dragging great rattlesnake out of the grass.
The child had been almost upon it. Marble
had set his strong, sharp teeth into the back
of the reptiles neck and broken its spine.
The pretty, innocent little girl did not know
how near to death she had been. But her
mother did, and caught her up in her arms
and almost cried over her.
Is not that good cat-and-snake story!

Fees of English Physicians.


Appropos of doctors, the English pro-
fessional journals have been telling won
derful stories about the fees of English
physicians The Students Journal says
Sir Andrew Clarke makes over $75, 900 a
year, which The Medical Journal says is
strictly true. Others add that DR.. Red
cliffe used to make an average annual in
come of $50, 600 a year, and DIR. Baltic
$50 900; that Sir Ashley Cooper took
So, 900 in a single fee; that some other
doctor got $4,000 for going to Pau from
London that Catherine II OF Russia paid
DR.. Dimsdale $50, 900 for vaccination.
The Paris Temps thinks all this
English Boosting very immodest and un-
professional, and intimates that no French
doctor will allow such facts about his pc
cuniary gains to become known 1t OBJ
serves, however, in order to give some
idea of what French doctors could reveal
e they chose, that it is within its per
sonal knowledge that Nelaton on one oc-
casion refused $50, 900 to go TO St Peters
burg to perform very simple operation.

How to Put an Egg in a Bottle.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker tells
the young folk how they may perform the
magic feat of putting an egg into bottle.
Like many other things, it is easy enough
when you know how. This is the way it is
done: Soak fresh egg for several days in
strong vinegar. The acid of the vinegar will
eat the lime of the shell, so that while the egg
looks the same it viii be soft and capable of
compression. Select a bottle with the neck
a third mailer than the egg. With a little
care you will have no trouble in pressing the
latter into the bottle. Fill the bottle half full
of lime water, and in a few days you viii
have a hard-shelled egg in a bottle with a
neck a third smaller than the egg. Of course
you pour off the lime water as soon as the
shell -hardens. How the egg got into the
bottle viii be a conundrum that few can an
SweT.

Fast Railroad Travelling.

An American, whilst on a visit to the
old country, was talking to a group of
cockneys about railway travelling, and re
marked that some of the fast trains in this
country ran long stretches at the rate of
mile a minute 90, that's nothing to the
rate they travel on this side, interrupted
one of the Londoaers L know the con-
ductor of one of our fast express trains
who aimed a blow with a club at a man
standing at a little wayside station through
which the train passed, and knocked down
and killed a man standing at a station
seven miles further on. That's what l
call speed.

Posture While Rsading.
iDr. Dudley S. Reynolds.l

The eyes can properly be used only
when the body is an erect position. When
we stoop the face is flushed and the eye
bloodshot Thus reading in q recumbent
posture is ruinous to the eyesight. An
object should be held fourteen inches from
the eye for properly focalizing it. We
should never look at the sun; better look
at the moon, notwithstanding it has a SEN
timentaliZing effect

Cost of Drinking.

Some years ago, says Pomeroy's Demo-
crat, we had in our employ man who seve-
raj times day ran out of the Office to buy a
drink of whisky. Every time he went out
the cashier was instructed to drop ten cents
into drawer to our credit AT the end of
II months the man who had gone out so
often had drank himself out of good situa-
tion and the drawer, when opened, was
found TO contain 1890, which we loaned to a
young man at seven per cent interest. He
used it to purchase a set of timers tools.
On the 10th of February, 1876, he returned it
to us with interest, saying in his letter that
he had a wife, two children and property
worth $500 The other fellow is a hummer,
hunting for food.

Enigma.

Enigma.
Upon a spacious meadow vast
Are sheep in Thousands white as snow.
As we behold them there to-day
Our fathers saw them long ago.
They ne'er grow old; fresh life they draw
From streams that never cease to flow.
A lovely shepherdess is theirs,
Who bears for crook a silver bow.
She leads them out to pastures fair
Through golden gates. She counts each
one;
No lamb of hers was ever lost,
How oft soccer the way they've gone.
A ram she has to go before,
A bear for dog to guard them well.
Now can you guess the shepherdess,
And what the sheep are, can you telll
