little woman runs a icwclry polishing

she works she keeps carefully concealed
letters patent for Il French clock which

The clock is II most ingenious affair. No
hands show upon the dial, but the time
is indicated by butterflies which crawl
around the dial as the moments and
hours go by. The butterflies are guided

Toledo, the attorney for he.plaintitf, is
totally deaf. The curiosity of all present,
not excepting the grave judges, was,
therefore, excited when his wife ap.
peared in front of the bar and said that
she would interpret the words of others
to her husband. This she did simply bv
the movements of her lips. The words
of the court and the arguments of the
defendant were thus translated to her
husband, whose attentive brown eyes
were never taken off his 'wife's express
slve face. There was but little
sign language used, except in cases
whore particularly forcible remark is
made, and then Mrs. Lutes would ad-
vance and make slight gestures. She re-
ceived the unbounded admiration of
every one in the court room, not only
for her skill as an Interpreter, but for her
devotion to her husband.

A UNIQUE Policy.

Mrs. L. j. Abel, of Logan, came here a
few days ago, highly recommended, and
desired to adopt child from the Home
of the Friendless, but her request was re-
fused Mr.. Highsmith, of this city, and
others, are reported also as having made
similar offers to give homes to some of
these children, but the avowed policy of
the Home seems to be to keep all the
children that can be gathered in The
manager recently avowed plblicly that
if he had not been hindered in his work
he would have had by this time 200 chill
dren here instead of forty-iive. 1t seems
the determination to build up great"
institution by gathering in hordes of
children and keeping them. 1t may be
better to huddle four TO six children in
bed, underfeed and even whip them, de-
prlve them of the privileges of public
schools, teach them to repeat psalms and
sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
than to give them the benefit of private,
Christian homo and training. If so, the
managers of such true homes of the
friendlesss as are established in Chicago
and Des Moines, and other charitable in
stitutions in other places, have been
making a great mistake in finding pr-
vate homes for the children. 1t is also
noticeable fact that New York institu

What Is Being Done in Germany.

During the three years following the

been done. Now at last it seems as if
the time for organized action had come.
and one large town after the other has
in the course of the last month or two
seen the opening of coffee-houses on the
same principles as those in our own,
country. The largest of these ''public-
houses of the future, as a German
writer has called them, has recently
been opened at Hamburg, and the sue
cess has been such that, notwithstand-
ing the great expenses which naturally
attend the beginning of such an under
taking, there has been a small profit
even at the end of the first month. This
is the more encouraging as the articles
of food are sold at prices which to us
must appear ridiculously low. Thus,

High, narrow, wholly unwrinkled
foreheads, over which the skin is tightly

Foreheads not entirely projecting,

Persons possessing poetic, ardent

his home in PARKWAY Denver, the little

''Will you please step over to the

from his reverie; and he hustled on his

When he entered the church he found
the old sexton talking with gentle
man and lady.

to the astonished preacher; and he
