| the nose. The boy. whose sense OF
| justice was also injured, rushed into
the school house TO inform the princi-
pal. Unfortunately one of the teach
ers was coming ont of the door at tho
same moment. and he was almost inn
paled by the impetu1us youth. In
fact, the two colliding bodies were al
most telescopcd by the collision. For
tunately, the teacher retained his
presence of mind. Without asking for
an investigating committee, he dealt
the luckless youth box on the ear
that sounded like hitting beefsteak
with the fat side of an aX. For a
second time the boy detected the heav-
emily bodies. We mean, of course, he
saw stars.
The good little boy did not linger
around the teacher, who was partially
doubled up from the force of the col
lision, but was nevertheless lifting his
boot to kick. The boy kept right on
upstairs, until he rushed almost
breathless into the room of the princi-
pal. AS soon as he was able to do SO.

with rage at the slur at the professor;
and once more the good little Sunday
School boy got it right and left, more
consultations bursting upon his enrap-
tured vision. 1t seemed to him as if
he had suddenly sat down in front of
drug store.
The idea that had been instilled into
the youthful mind of that boy, that the
good were rewarded and the bad pun
ished, is undergoing some modification,
at which we can hardly wonder

Wines for Sacramento Uses.

cat least fifty thousand gallons of
wine are consumed annually for sacra-
mental purposes in the United States"
said wholesale dealer in wines to a
reporter for The Mail and E1press.
sWhat kind of wine is preferred?"
"The pure juice of the grape, free
from alcohol, is demanded. Dry wine,
which has about II per cent of alcohol,
also is sold for the church. The certi-
ficate of priest as to the purity of the
wine is often necessary before brand
can be sold. But let it once become
popular and no matter if a little al
coholic adulteration creeps in, it is
never detected. Sweet wine has at
least 20 per cent of alcohol, yet it is
often sold for sacramento purposes.
Fact is, the sweet wine is always the
favorite until its alcoholic percentage
is discovered. If all priests and
preachers were of the same nationality
one brand of wine might do, but a
French priest does not want the same
wine as an Irish priest. Methodists,
Episcopalians, Catholics, and Baptists
all desire different brands"
''HOW DO foreign wines sell!
cit is a strange fact, but foreigners
like American wine and drink more of
it than the natives do. The average
American, who drinks wine, thinks
nothing is like the imported article,
while the foreigner, who has tried
them both, prefers that made here.
But since the prohibition question has
started and several states have de-
clared for temperance, more WINE is
sold for sacramento purposes than
was ever known before. This gives
the wine trade boom. Every whole
sale dealer sends his circular to the
prohibition states stating he sells only
the pure juice of the grape for church
services. Every drugstore in every
village, hamlet, and town lays in a
supply of sacramento wine, and this
year predict that three times as many
gallons will be sold for sacred pur-
poses as was last year. This will bring
the figures up to 10000 gallons.
When prohibition rules out malt
liquors, then the pure wine is in de-
mand, and the drug-stores do land
office business. ''-Nea0 York Mail and
Express.

Real Estate in New York.

Real estate in New York City, ac-
cording to recent letter, for the time
being, is at a dead halt. The big
apartment house known as the Grosve-
nor, corner of Fifth avenue and Tenth
street, has been sold TO the Mutual
Life Insurance Company for 100000 /:
expert appraisers thought it would be
cheap at S25O.OOO. 1t rents at present
for $4,000 year. and it was announc-
ed that the mortgages would take
back mortgage for $3.50, 900 at per
cent. Another transaction is impor-
tant enough to note. The brcwn-stone
front dwelling, No. East Sixty-fourth
street. belonging to the johnson es-
tate, has been sold to John P. Duncan
for 1925, 600 cash. This property in
1876 was sold to A. /. johnson, the
consideration in the deed being $780,
600. In January, 1884, Mr.. U. S.
Grant, Jr., contracted to purchase the
property for about $150,000. but fol
various reasons the contract was moi
executed.-Ss. Louis Globe Democrat.

Human Justice.

1t must have frequently occurred to
the most casual observer of human
affairs, that Justice is mere mockery.
The man who is bad is just as apt to
enjoy health and happiness as the man
who goes to church and leads an eX-
emplary life. In fact, it would seem
as if the good were singled out for per-
secution. They certainly seem to have
more than their share of bad luck. An
illustration, on small scale, of how
the bad escape while the good are pun
ished for the sins of the bad, occurred
in Anstin short time ago.
A small cart, to which donkey was
attached, was left standing in front of
a school-house. The driver had gone
into neighboring saloon to Stake his
thirst. The mischievous boys gather
ed around the vehicle and proceeded
to annoy the animal by punching him
in the abdomen and other parts with
sharp sticks. They also impaired a
spiral shape to his tail by twisting it.
They also tied the donkey's ears to-
gether, much to the discontinue of
the animal, but much to the amuse-
ment of the urchins, who deserved the
severest punishment for their cruelty.
Did the thunderbolts of heaven fall
upon them and destroy them? Hardly
any.
A small boy named Smith was stand
inc off at short distance looking on.
He had been a good boy even before
he was weaned. He never gave his
friends any trouble. He went to Sum
day school and brought home medals.
In this affair he was really sympathiz-
ing with the donkey. He took no part
whatever in the hazing of the poor
brute. On the contrary he was she'd
ding tears over the cruelty of the bad
boys, when suddenly the proprietor of
the animal emerged from the saloon.
He charged furiously upon the boys.
They saw him in time, and fled in every
direction. making good their escape.
The little boy did not run. He had done
no WRONG. Conscious innocence made
him bold. The driver of the donkey
came down upon the good little boy
like an avalanche, boxing his ears
until he had slight hemmorhage of

Bows Will Be BuOys.

Some Florida boys, who had a
swimming hole along the st. John
river, were often driven out of the
water by very large alligator who
came to sample them. At last they
hit upon a little racket to get even
with him. They constructed buoy
the exact size, shape and shade of an
ordinary boy. and filled it with nitro
glycerine, and took pole and pushed
it out little way from shore. Pres
emily the alligator came up with his
mouth wide open like steel trap, and
in one bite he took in over half the
buoy, who just at that junoture went
off and blew him tail first about three
miles up the river.

A Feat OF Strength.

The following story is told Of the late
Captain Burnaby, the author Of the "Ride
10 khiya"
He was in his youth passionately fond
OF gymnastics, In which he excelled above
all his fellows. There used TO be In one of
his clubs colossal dumb-bell in glass
case, with the offer OF heavy wager that
no man would hold 1t out at arms length
for the space Of sixty seconds. The wager
was never won, though Burnaby made
nothing OF accomplishing the feat. Among
the many stories OF his physical prowess
one relates to period shortly after he
Joined the Blues. The regiment was down
ut Windsor, and horse dealer, who had
come into possession OF couple OF very
small ponies, had them taken thither by
command TO exhibit them 10 the Queen.
Before going 10 the Castle he showed them
20 the officers OF the Blues, 10 whom a
happy thought occurred. Burnaby, who
was captain then, was In his room on the
first flight With some trouble the ponies
were got upstairs, and, the door quietly
opening, they trotted in unannounced.
This was q capital joke, and had n great
success. But, Us presently appeared, It
had gloomy side. The ponies had gone
up stairs quietly enough, but neither force
nor entreaty could induce them TO 90
down. The hour approached at which
they were TO be presented to the Queen,
and the owner was In despair. Burnaby
settled the matter off-hend. Taking a
pony up In either arm he walked down
stairs and set them In the courtyard.

LITERARY NOTES.

Lord Lytton has written a new poem,
somewhat In the style OF LUCILLE" but
with the heavy, unattractive title OF
"Glenayerie or, the Metamorphosis."
Professor Atkinson, of the Massachu-
sets Institute Of Technology, has put into
book form the substance of two or three
lectures delivered to the students there on
the "Study Of History" The little work
will be likely TO interest wider class
than the special students Of scientific
school. who come 10 such study with
evident reluctance. and whom the author
tries TO win by placing the subject in its
wider relations, since he also makes clear
the distinction between the modern
scientific study Of history and the mere
reading OF historical works, or the
memorizing Of brief outline.

A Chicago newspaper tells this pleasant
story when Matthew Arnold was in
this city, Carrie Price, aged eleven, living
on the south side, was among the multi
tude who called upon him. She told Mr..
Arnold that she had read nearly every
thing that he had written, and surprised
and delighted him by reciting some of his
poems and several extracts from his prose
writings. On investigation he discovered
that the child was poor, and that she had
borrowed nearly all the books that she
had read from circulating libraries. A
few days ago she received package from
Mr.. Arnold, which contained complete
set Of his prose and poetical works, all
OF which were elegantly bound In full
Russia leather, and with gold edges. The
value OF the set is said to be about $3.50.
Miss Price says that, as much as she Is
delighted with Mr.. Arnold's magnificent
gift, she considered the pleasant little note
which accompanied the books q still
greater treasure"

In the Logan County Common Pleas,
Judge Price has just rendered decision
involving tax collection under the Scott
law. The case was of q saloonist against
County Treasurer, Frank s. Case, former
Wellington boy, son Of Deacon Case. The
Judge decided that the amount collected
by public officers, in the discharge Of
their official duty, not far from one million
dollars In the State, was not illegally col.
lected and has long since passed out Of
their possession and control; and If they
are liable to refund that money they are
liable personally, which would be wrong
and unjust. They we're bound by the law
then in force, and the later decision of the
Supreme Court could not apply to acts
officially performed while the statute was
valid. The assessments were legally
made and cannot therefore be recovered
by saloonisis. 8.
