Connecticut's Leather Man.

Almost everybody in Connecticut
knows the "leather man." He is a
queer old chap. Everything about
him is leather. His hat, coat, brooches
and travelling sack are made of coarse
tanned stuff. 1t is seldom that this
eccentric individual speaks a word.
Year in and year out he tramps about
the State obtaining his food from the
kind-hearted people along the route.
Always visiting the same houses,
knocking at the kitchen doors and
pointing to his mouth his wants are
supplied. Whenever the mute appeal
for victuals is refused the offending
housewife is placed on his mental black
list and her house is never visited a
second time. A great deal of specula-
ton has been nndulgedin by observers,
who wonder what this mans story is.
Why should he follow the same path
way around the Nutmeg State as he
has done for nearly half q century,
with his face covered by a. grizzled
board, his head cast down in his
solemn tramp, tramp, tramp? Wise
acres in hamlets frequented by the
Leather man." are apt to say, 81
know his history" Then they spin d
long yarn OF how, whena young man,
this semi-respectable tramp loved a
maiden fair. She would not have the
aspiring shoemaker apprentice. His
scorned affection sunk into melan1
choly. Unable to betake himself from
the fascination of the world entirely
this stricken being, resolved to encas
his body in sole leather and become 8
pilgrim. So he began on the threshold
of O promising career, and SO BIZ
promises to end, as q tramp.
He was reported frozen to death
The report vas unfounded. He plod,
along as usual, friendless and uncarec
for, still offering fOod for gossiping
tongues OF remembering citizens IN
the peaceful towns on the line OF his
march.

REMEMBER, BOYS MAKE MEN.
When you see a ragged urchin
ndipg wistful in the street,

When you see q ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trousers,
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding;
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget it;
For remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Glide your child 10 gentle accents,
Do not in your anger speak.
You must SOW in youthful bOs0ms
Seeds OF tender mercies; then
Plants will grow and bear good frultage
When the erring boys are men.
Have you I've seen a grandslre,
With his eyes aglOw with Joy,
Bring to mind some act Of kindness
Something said TO him a BOY?
Or relate some slight or GOODNESS
With a brow all ciOuded, when
He said they were too thoughtless
To remember boys make men?
Let us try to add some pleasures
To the life OF every boy;
For each child needs tender interest
In is sorrows and its Joys;
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They'll avoid a gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere
And remember, boys make men.

"Uncle Stead is what they called :
shrewd old gentleman who USED 70

Uncle Stead met Lovejoy IN tne w

Joy, there's a poor woman needs SOL ~

her, but I've sold my horse and naye

Now I'll buy her a barrel OF non.,

Paper Boots and Shoes.

Some very attractive specimens of
paper slippers, sandals, and other cover
ings for the feet, substitute for leather,
etc., have been brought to notice in
London, where their manufacture has
been recently undertaken. For this
purpose, paper, paper pulp or PAPER
mache is employed in making the upper,
which is nodded to the desired form and
size; the sole is made of paper or paste
board, leather board, or other adapted
paper material, union of this sole to
the upper being effected by means of
cement, glue, or other adhesive material j;
the plan is to have the upper creased,
embossed or perforated at the instep and
sides, so as to prevent any breaking Or
tearing while in use. The sole may be
made with or without a heel.

Each Received a Lesson.

A young recruit recently enlisted at
Camp Hancock, near Atlanta, while the
country was threatening war with Mexi-
CO, and he intended to make good sol :
dier. One day he was on guard duty
and was slowly stepping along when an
officer approached After the usual sa.
lutte the officer said;
Let me see your gun"
The raw recruit handed over his
Springfield rifle and pleased expression
stole over his face.
As the officer received the gun he said
in tone of deepest disgust
"You're fine soldier! You've given,
up your gun, and now what are you go
ing to do 2"
The young Atlantan turned pale, and
reaching for his hip pocket, drew big
six shooter, and preparing for business,
said in a voice that could not be mis-
understood
"Gimme that gun or Fll blow hole
through you in pair r minutesw
The officer instantly decided not tc
monkey any further with the raw recruit,
and the gun was promptly surrendered.

Mexican Police.

The Mexican police, writes Fannie B.
Wardc, are striking figures, clad in
"bricf authority" and briefer linen, with
rusty, old-fashioned cavalry sabres
dangling about their heels and equally
antiquc-looking pistols pendent from
their belts. The City of Mexico has an
excellent police system peculiarly its
own. At night there is guard at every
corner. He never patrols the streets,
however, but with a lantern that he puts
in the centre of the intersecting avenues,
and then retires in to convenient door
way and silently sits there until relieved.
AS consequence a row of lanterns may
always be seen down the middle of every
street. Besides the usual sword and re-
volver, each night policeman at the Cap
ital carries club and wears blanket.
The roundsmen who patrol the streets
look like cavalrymcn, each we'll mounted
and carrying carbinc and sabre.
On the principle that 'it takes a rogue
to catch rogue" these Mexican guar
dians of the peace should be the best in
the world; but it is not always condu-
Give of feelings of personal security to
know that an cx-murderer or robber
stands guard outside your window, who
is thus serving out the sentence for his
crime.

Youthful CandOr.

Lirtle Julia is not given 10 caresses.
When she kisses the members of her
family goodnight it is with business
air of determination to get the matter off
her mind as soon as possible. Oc-
casionally she descends from her princess
manner to bcstow an embrace upon some
favored person, especially if her admira-
tion is touched as well as her affection.
A few evenings ago her aunt was ready
to go to party at the house of lady
whom Julia likes very much, house
which she is very fond of visiting. "Ohl
auntie," she said, hanging about her
aunt kissing her and pet:ing her, chow
SWEET you look! OAl | love you so,
wish you were me and | was you"
"You little darling" responded the
young lady, quite touched by her beau
tiful infantle altruism, ''what makes

years, 'because then | could 90 to Mrs.

The Men OF '76.

A visitor to the Continental camp at
Cambridge relates a dialogue which he
heard between Captain and one of the
privates under him.
''Bill," said the Captain, Ego bring q
pail of water for the men,"
81 shan't," said Bill. "Its your turn
now, CAPTAIN; / got it last time"
A story is told OF company of rifle
men raised in one of the frontier coun-
ties of Pennsylvania. So many volunteers
applied as to embarrass the leader who
was enlisting the company, and he drew
on board with chalk the figure of a
nose of the common size, placed the
board at the distance of $50 yards, and
then declared he would take only those
who could hit the mark. Over sixty
succeeded. Nicholas.

some time before they could explain
affairs to his bcwildcred mind, but when
light began to dawn he exclaimed:

Lost a letter for me once"
Will was persuaded to accompany
them home, AMI it was very merry
party that surprised Mrs. Allen by their
carly appearance.
As soon as possible Mr.. Allen hurried
his wife off to the kitchen to unravel
the mystery, while Will and Elizabeth
read and rc-rcad the old letter by the
light of the hickory fire.
What Ruth Miller would say was
source of much anxiety to Mrs. Allen,
until one day Will remarked, much to
her peace Of mind, that Ruth had been
engaged for some time to friend OF his

Accident, to Sleep.Walkers.

1t seems strange, on the first blush OF
the matter, that so very few accidents
befall Sleep walkers. The proportion of
instances in which any injury is sustained
by the subjects of this remarkable state
of semi-seep is very small. The ex-
PLANTATION of the immunity is doubtless
to be found in the fact that it is state
of semi-sleep in which the sleep-walker
makes his excursion. He is sleeping
only so far as part of his cerebrum is
connected. The rest of his brain is
awake, and, therefore, it is really not a
strange feat to walk carefully and escape
injury, doing oil the necessary acts of
avoidance while carrying out some dream
purpose, just as walking purpose is
fulfilled. The hypothesis obviously
require a very full explanation of such
an accident as that by which Sleep
walker recently came by her death,
namely, falling out of an open window.
It is not likely to have been part of the
dream to get out of the window. There
must have been some error in the carry
ing out of the process; such, for example,
as turning to the right instead of to the
left on leaving room, and thus walking
through low window instead of through
doorway. As rule, the senses are
sufficiently on the alert to enable the
Sleep p-waker to take all precautions for
safety, and when he comes face to face
with difficulty involving more than
automatic or subconscious self-control,
he wakes. We should like to know
more of the case which has just ended
fatally from some competent medical
observer who has studied the develop
ment of this interesting disorder in this
particular instance. Surely practitioner
was consulted. No case of Sleep walking
should ever be left without medical
scrutiny and counsel. In Sleep walking
there is the making of madness, and in
its inception this disorderly sleeplessness
ought to be stayed. Lancet.

A Man With n Glass Eve.

Speaking of glass eyes" said an old
lawyer "brings to mind little incident
that occurred in Chicago. Among our
young professional men is one whose bril-
liant black eyes would attract attention
anywhere. He goes much into society and
is quite favortc among the ladies be-
cause of his eyes. One of these beau
tiful black eyes is glass, but it seems SO
much the counterpart of the other that
not one person in hundred would de-
tect its artificiality. Among the men,
! oess Ct his profession not one knows that
the young man has only one good eye.
"On one occasion he escorted a young
lady to the refrcshmcnt tables and enter
tanned her with pleasant chat in way
that he thought was making favorable
impression. AS they were taking ice
cream he Locked up as she gave utter
ance to some startling exclamation, and
was surprised to see her eyes fixed on
him with a look OF mystlfied lntentncss
and horror. She was we'll bred girl,
but something had so astoundcd her that
she continued to look at him in way
that raised the question of his sanity. A
fly had lit square in the centre of his
brilliant black glass eye and remained
there, he, of course, unconscious of its
presence. The spectacle of that eye
looking at her with fly on it and the
owner making no attempt to brush it off
was too much for his companion. His
explanation, even, was not quite salts
factory. She had believed so implicitly
in those magnificent dark eyes that she
has since that time regarded him as some
| thing of fraud. ."-Llter. Ocean.

Some are young, their prime long after,
Some get early ''into years, "
Some get all the sweets and treasure,
Some get only care and grief,

of the Temperance" men they can with
out alternating the "llqour" vote; but the
temperance men and women God bless
them have "the courage of their princi-
pies" and refuse, so far as
the prohibitionists are concerned,
to have any political relations with
the supporters and propagators of
the greatest evil of the age. Both parties
nave lately been bidding for the support
or forbea ance of the prohibitionists. The
republicans of New Jersey are likely to
indorse the republican state ticket at the
fall elections, instead of nominating one
of their own. The democrats of Iowa
have already Endorsed the prohibition
platform in that state, with slight mod
ifications in a few minor points. Both
parties appear willing to embody "high
license" and "ant-saloon" planks in their
platforms in states where, few years ago,
neither would listed to such proposal.
Where, as in this state, political parties
are pretty evenly balanced, the prohib-
ition vote can easily throw state, or even
a national election to one side or the
other. The probability is that ere long
the Out-and-out temperance men will hold
the "balance of the power''in a majority of
states of the union, and consequently ia the
nation. A party founded on temperance
and morality, and supported by the votes
of the best men and the blessings of the
best women in the country, cannot long
hold merely subordinate place in this
republic.-Rural New Yorker.
