the pioneers Of Eagle City, NJ. T., for the
endowment of the first native Ceur

the comfortable sum of 5000 dollars
when it was appropriated by IN enter

cabin near the main line, when she heard
of the premium offered for babies up at
Eagle, and determined to secure it. When
the husband and father reached the camp

wandering in Greece, and, full of a Neo-
Hellenic spirit, came back to invade So
cial London. He invented the aesthetic
movement. He preached the doctrine
of possible culture in external things.
He got brilliantly laughed at, and good
naturally accepted. In 1881 he pub
lished a somewhat startling volume of
poems, and at once went to America to
preach his gospel of culture.
Then, as an itinerant art apostle, he
wandered from New York to San Fran
cisco, lectured to all sorts and condi-
tons of men, produced a play and came
back to London. Suddenly he gave up
dado worship for dandyism, cut his long
locks and accepted life. He is a sayer
of smart things, and has a rare flow of
thoroughly Irish wit, and an excellent
notion of the advantage that may accrue
to any man from drawing attention to
himself anyhow. He has lived through

Gas IN Competition with Electricity,

William Farmer. Gas Engineer
The introduction OF the electric light
has not hurt the gas interest; rather il
has led to an increased consumption OF
gas. 1t has certainly created a demand
for more light, and people whose eves
have been dazzled by the glare of The
electric light use gas more freely and ex.
travagantly than they eVer did before
There was never more gas consumed il,
New York than now, and the same NAV
be said of all the other large cities If
the country. This, in a measure, MAY
be ascribed to the increasing demand fol
gas as a source of heat as well as light.
You can cook better with gas than with
coal and with less trouble and discom.
fort.
Then the gas engine is being intro.
duccd extensively. Manufacturers are
months behind with their orders and
running to their full capacity to supply
the demand. People do not know how
much light can be got out of gas. Flee
tric discoveries have stimulated inyen-
tons in gas burners, and there is now at
the Manhattan gas-Works, III this city, a
Sicmen's burner that gives a light equal
to 1000 candles, and there are Others
which are of 500 candle power. I see
no reason why the Illuminating power of
gas may not. be indefinitely increased.
These burners have been recently intro
duced, and the demand for them is SC
great in Europe that we can get o
here. By their use gas is cheaper than
electricity of the same Illuminating
power. The electric light has not had
things all its own way by any means. It
has been repeatedly beaten by gas on the
continent and in England, mainly on ac-
count Of its cxpensiEeness, and many
electric light companies have collapsed
there.

Cairo would not be Cairo without it's
donkeys and donkey boys. They are q
unique institution.
These Arab donkey boys know a smat.
tering of the principal European Ian
guages, and can tell instantly in what
tongue to address you. Not only are
they thus keen, but they are also the
drollest and most humorous street gamins
l have ever seen. They are great at
p%antomime, and you cannot forbear
laughing at their good-humored antics.

gentle and long-sut1ering. The majority
of them are much abused, and bear
around on their bodies the marks of the
merciless donkey boys. mine berry

the fee bestowed, but no one minds that.

4 Esoy,s Finny Gets.
IChicago Tires.

Among the daily visitors at the beau
tiful miniature lake in the eastern end of
Allegheny park, Pittsburg, Pa, may be
seen a slight, pale-faced, dark-eyed boy
Of some IL summers, who moves about
on clutches. His name is Charles Jose
Ign. AT the age Of 8 years the lad
met with an accident which par
TALLY paralyzed his lower limbs.
The park is the boys greatest pleasure,
and daily, throughout the entire summer,
ae may be seen in some of the leafy
avenues or shady retreats, amusing him
self or gazing wistfully at his more
favored companions. The fish in the
pond Charlie seems to have taken under
his special care, and he has acquired a
familiarity with them which is wonderful.
They will swim up to his hand quickly
when he disturbs the wafer and playfuuy
nibble at his fingers OF at bits of cracker,
which he carries for his tinny pets. Sc
accustomed have they become to his
gentle ministrations that they will allow
him to take hold of them and even lift
them from the water. The boy has
names for nearly all Of them, and spends
hours in talking and playing with bis
pets.
