address to the jury, said:
"Gcntlemen, my client is u peor

want to take the small sum ofmoney.
All that he wanted was sufficient
money to buy bread, for 1t is in evil

the same bureau drawer. If he was
professional thief he would have
certainly taken the pocketbook."

MORTALITY AND FIRE-AHMs-A
Texas newspaper publishes statistics
of the bomlcides in that state during
1884 to show that of the 1856 men
who were killed 40 had firearms in
their hands when they fell. Plac-
ing the adult male population of Tex
as at 100000, it estimates that $4,000
of them do not carry arms and that
$4,000 do, and 1t then shows by a
very simple process of arithmetic
that one in every $50 who carried
pistols was killed. These facts are
of interest to life insurance compan-
les if to nobody else. They show
clearly enough that the mortality
among the warriors is very great,
whereas the men Of peace enjoy reas-
enable immunity. Ifit can be shown
that the same conditions exist else
where it may be necessary 10 raise
the rates on men who are so careful
Of their lives as to go armed habit
ually.

IT is not the want Of natural capac-
ity-women have proved that again
and again by the discovery of unlock
ed-for qualities in emergencies, by
disentangling and building up great
enterprises with extraordinary zeal
and ability, when the motive enlisted
all their energies. What they need
is, first, to get rid of the foolish and
(for American women) ungrateful
idea that business habits, business
training and business virtues are
derogatory or incompatible with the
finest and most thorough ladyhood ;
secondly, make a duty of securing
this training for their daughters ;
thirdly, cultivate the habits and W.
tues of an honorable business life in
the family, and demand the exercise
of them from girls we'll as boys.

Why HE THREW A BRICK.-It is

with native in the streets Of a bor-

former sustained a fracture of the
jaw from the effects of the sudden
and violent juxtaposition of that
member with q section Of q brick
hurled by the latter. When the bat
tered pilgrim reached his hotel the
landlord was naturally indignant over
the outrage and demanded the name
of the perpetrator thereof. Upon
being made aware of the assailant,
however, the landlord comforted his
guest with the gratifying assurance

MISSING.

Missing-so many are missing,
The old as well as the young.
The poor and the rich together,
The weak alike with the strong.
Missing-our loved ones wander
We never know how or where,
And pass from our sight as surely
As smoke fades into the air.
Missing-a man it may be,
a citizen famed and well known,
Who sinks in the human ocean,
As sinks in the pool stone.
Missing-our care and riches
SO vainly are used or spent;
We know that the loved ones left us,
But know not whittier they went.
Missing-at day time or night time
And under the stars or sun;
They vanish out of our knowledge,
As sands from an hour, glass run.

and that plump woman is by no
