His Lovely Blue Whiskers.

Oh, but there are people who make
fools of themselves! When a man sets
out to make himself fool in the line
of a park Irritation he is likely to be
very successful. The Park lounger
over in Allegheny has in his mind's eye
a stiff-jointed gentleman, in white
stovepipe hat, who. in the struggle to
give Father Time black eye. has dyed
his whiskers gorgeous and peacocky
Syrian purple. He doubtless meant to
have black whiskers, but the machine
slipped cog in the dye works he pat
ronizcd. and his whiskers came out in
Miss Cleveland's pet hue, which prom
Uses to be fashionable here. This man
walks more miles and makes the least
showing in his efforts to perform the
feat vulgarly known as masking than
any man in Allegheny. His attempts
In this line are positively facilitating
to the eye witness. School girls and
sweet sixteens are his especial delight.
But he met with Waterloo yesterday.
He struck up Irritation with three
bold young things. and was making
himself agreeable as best he knew how.
Finally the girls wanted to get rid OF
him. One addressed him in a low tone
of voice as "Pa." whereat he colored
up. and laughed feebly at the joke.
This not proving quite petrifyining
enough, another remarked: What
lovely whiskers you have got! Won
you give me lock of your whiskersP"
The old boy was gratified. and wanted
10 know: ''Why, my dearp" The gddy
young thing gusled: They are just
the shade OF blue that want for my
dress. i wan. lock for sample TO
match the color" The crushed dye
house sign went out under the shade
of one of the trees which formerly
graced the front of the penitentiary on
Ohio street, and when be had fully re-
covered he set out for home. Pits

All he was boanie and brave, and sweet
My only darling --iny little Jim
With a wealth OF love In his loyal heart
For the world all new TO him
But he scarcely entered its open door,
He nothing knew Of its gain or loss,
He never had battled with toll or sin,
Or lifted heavy cross.
But straight from his innocent joyous play,
With never q shadow or thought OF fear,
The angels took him TO live with them,
And III am lonely here.
/ fonde his stockings and pretty kits,
And the curls once shorn from his restless
head.
For mothers grow strange and fanciful
When their little boys are dead.
And so listen with bated breath,
AS a child's feet footsteps patter near,
Or shout rings out on the summer air,
And dream my boy is here.
But never at morning, noon, or dusk,
BY wight or day does the dream come true;
No path leads back from the portals fair
His feet have battered through.
Only 10 rock him at twilight hour,
And fold him safe In his downy bed;
To linger the oft-told stories DER,
And hear his night prayer said
Only to look at his hazel eyes,
Popping from under the battered brim
or his misused hat, or to hear his laugh:
But the house Is still and prim.
Never a trample Of muddy boots,
Or whiting scattered over the floor;
No litter of toys on the kitchen shelf,
Or raid on the pantry's store.
But only desolate, darkened house,
That mourns In silence for little Jim.
lie will never, never return to me,
But IL shall go to him!

A Wife's Victory.
From fhe Hoice. N. y.


II beats all-this determination Of the
women to do all they make mp their minds
to. My income being limited, asked my
wife TO exercise care in the management
of her affairs, so that, when the time came
for me to pay the bills, j would not be
income. To be doubly careful, asked her
to keep an account OF our expenses, and
every now and then we would look over
the accounts, to cast out what we should
Judge unnecessary. The first hitch we
had. was in the matter of Pearline. felt
that it was not in the line Of economy to
put Pearline into the di-h-water; Pearline
into the wssh-boiler; Pearline into the
clothes soaking water, or to use Pearline
for house cleaning purposes; and despite
the arguments of my wife, / succeeded in
cutting out that expense from the account.
Things seemed to go all right for little
while but soon noticed that my shirts,
cuffs and collars began to look as yellow
as get out, and my wife kept complaining
about the look of her dishes, they. were so
greasy" and gave me agentle hint. that
the item cast out of our account had not
been as economical as i supposed. My
shirts were wearing from the hard rubbing
they we're getting, and the soda and com
mon soap was just about finishing things.
Almost disguised with matters, conclud-
ed to give Pearline chance to show its
economical properties; for wife would on
lv answer to every complaint about the
looks of my linen: There's nothing that
beats Pearine." You'd be surprised what
a change IL wrought; found that my new
linen kept perfectly white, and didn't
hear the complaint about the fearful back
ache after wash-day. No more complaints
about the greasy dishes; and our neigh
bors. who don't use Pearline. ask wife how
she managed to keep her paint 30 clean.
I've concluded, for economy, TO let wife
run matters In the house, while run the
outside affairs for the house. Wife said,
I'd come to my senses some time.--1ng'eT.

Letter Carriers to Have a Rest.

lin 1886 such a thing as postman or
a carrier walking ten or fifteen hours a
day delivering mail matter will never
be heard of, for the simple reason that
there will be none In existence them"
remarked a scientific man the other day
to New York Mail and Express re-
porter.
"How will the mail be delivcredp'
Everything will be reduced to fine
system, and letter will be delivered
in three seconds after its. arrival in the
postoffice. Each house in big city
will be connected with the general
postofiice or branch station. as the case
may be, with pneumatic tube large
enough to carry goodsized package.
At present such a system of delivery
cannot be put into practice because it
would be too expensive. A century
hence civilization will rise to such
high and prosperous point that n system
of quick delivery by means Of pneuma-
tic tubes will entirely be in vogue. 1t
could be done now only il would bank
rupt city. The tube from Twenty
third street to the Western Union
building shows how nicely it works. A
letter or telegraphic message takes just
two seconds to go the two and half
miles. The quickest means of transit
are sure to be adopted in the long run.
1t is the evolution of progress. and
nothing can stop it short OF the uni
verse. Not only will private houses
have these tubes, but all our large
cities will be pneumatcally connected.
Chicago will be perhaps ter seconds by
letter from New York and San Fran
cisco minute or so. 1t will change
great many things and do away with
the steam-cars as mail carrier. The
system is yet in its infancy.
"New York will by that time have
new system of sewers. much better
than Paris has now. and tubes can be
run along in them instead of having to
dig up the earth, as Is the case with
gas and steam pipes at present. The
postage on letters will not be one
twentieth what it is now, and the ex-
pense to the government will be less.
Of course the deliveries will have to be
regulated to so many during the day.
Say five or ten during the morning
and that number during the afternoon
and evening. And yet human nature
is so constructed that even with such
improved facilities believe many
kickers could be found who would pro-
test against the slow time made. All
these things will come to pass. and it
takes no prophet to plainly see the
handwriting on the wall. The over
worked carriers will have long rest"

The late William H. Vanderbilt. for
some ears after he inherited his great
fortune, paid no taxes on his personal
estate. He ''swore off" his taxation on
personally. That is to say, he main
tanned, when applied to for an inventory,
that his debts exec eded the value of his
personal estate. This became such a
scandal that in 1880 he confessed to own
ing personal property in excess Of his
debts to the value OF 81, 900, 900, and on
that amount he paid taxes elch year
until his death, and on that amount only.
1t Is now known that he left at least So
100000 IN taxable securities, Of which all
but IS. 900. 200 has escaped taxation.
