STREET GAMiNS.

Unusually Bright Youngsters Many OF
Whom Might BE Made Respectable.
''That group of boys huddling over
the warm grating will be the highway
men, burglars, tramps and murdercrs
of fifteen years hence" says one who
has boon studying the street boys.
Well. he may be right in some cases,
but surely he is not in all. Some Of
those dirty, shabby. bare footed little
fellows will not sink; they have the
ability to rise, and they will. r
You will notice, even among the
worst crowds some who occasionally
wash thoir faces and use better Ian
guage than the others; some who one
day arc missing from the crowd. Ono
of tho poor little creatures. impelled by
an impulse he does not understand.
'.gets u job" He earns honest money.
and begins to lodge where faces must
be washed every day. He climbs
another step, and il lin an Office. -
After awhile he is promoted, and is
spoken of as ''that young man with
Helps & Co."
And by and by he becomes man of
whom men speak with respect us a
self.made man. Ono of them, perhaps
that black-eyed little fellow with the
long curling hair. may some day find
out that he lovas to draw on the blank
wall with chalk or charcoal, may grad-
ually understand his yearnings, and
come in time to be n great artist. The
quiet fellow there, if only some good
Sabbath school teacher coaxes him into
school, has it in him TO be one day a
promising yonng preacher, who, know
ing what wretchcdnass Is himself, can
titly address the wrctchcd.
A helping hand, a kind word, q little
money properly used, will save most OF
these street boys from the penitentiary
or tho gallows, and make them at least
decent young men.
Dirty as he l.. ignorant rs he must
bo. tho street boy is usually shrewd
and bright, ready to seizo an oppor.

wealth and responsibility. and needs
only rough plank of help to save him
from pcrisning in the sea of destruc.

boy; he is doomed to perdition; let him

Demorest's Monthly


Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, Of Philadelphia, is
well known to the ladies Of that city from
tho great good she has done by means OF
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham Of q recent in
teresting case. "a young married lady
came to mo suffering with q severe case Of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was J'u''y restored In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade tho responsibilities of maternity.
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed in a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. l gave her
tablespoonful Of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com

"A GREAT CONVENIENCE.
Why Every Country House Should n

Why Every Country House should BE
Supplied With q Good Cistern.
Among the many important con-
veniences on the new premises is the
old-time cistern. This is not considered
an available convenience in cities where
coal is so generally burned, and where
pitch and gravel roofs prevail. But in
villages and country towns and on
farms cistern should always be built.
The method is partly matter Of taste.
yet there is no article Of convenience
upon the promises that should bs made
more an article of Indispensable utility
than the water supply. 'Notwithstand-
ing the common belief among towns

both luxury and health. .giver. still.
in four cases out of five. it Is con-
venient receptacle for more dangerous
filth than can be found anywhere else
in the same CONSTRUCTED space, on any
premises. The cistern is expected TO
be made proof against the entrance of
water, clean or otherwise. from the
earth about it. while the well must be
left open in its wall and bottom. that
its supply may be kept up. This makes
it an effective depository for filth,
drained from cesspoOls, privies, BARN
yards, ETC., for distance of two or
three hundred feet. fthe soil be porous,
and for u dangerous distance in any
soil.
But with the cistern this objection
does not hold, for the very system upon
which it is constructed effectually shuts
out all chance OF leakage into it from
without. II there is no spring out of
which the family supply of water can
be taken, then tho cistern should be
constructed with view to supplying

in mind that water will filter through

HOW HANCOCK FELL IN LOVE.
The Gay Young Lieutenant Sees His
Fate at a window i'm 81. Louis.


Washington Correspondence Cleveland Leader
After Hancock graduated from West
Point his first duty was in connection with
an exploring party in the West. On his way
there he stopped for short time at st.
Louis, and it was his custom here to take a
horseback ride every morning. AS he rode
down one of the streets one bright, sunny
day, when it was still early, he saw at the
window of one of the finest looking houses
of the city very beautiful young lady
His eye caught hers as he passed, and he
involuntarily raised his hat. The young
lady blushed, waved her hand at him, and
then stepped back in the shadow. AS the
story goes, it was case of love at first sight
on HancOck's part.
Morning after morning he rode past the
house hoping to see her again. At last one
day he passed by on foot just as she was
leaving the house on the arm of fine look
ing old gentleman. The lady recognized
him again, as he colud see by her bushes.
but she did not bow, and just as he passed
she entered carriage. The old gentleman
followed her, and the two drove rapidly
away. l shall not describe how Hancock
took a cab and kept the carriage in sight.
nor how gratified he was when ALTERS short
ride he saw it drive up at the door of one of
his old army comrades. A moment later he
had dismissed the cab, and knocked at his
friends house. His friend met him in the
hall, and in stammering way he asked for
an introduction to the young lady.
A moment later he was taken into the
parlOr and introduced to Miss Almira Rus
sell and her father. Old Mr.. Russell was
one of the rich merchants of st. Louis.
He took quickly to Hancock, and before he
left the house that afternoon the young
officer received hearty invitation to call,
which, by the way, the young lady seconded.
Hancock did call, and he called often. The
pretty young lady seemed to be as much
attracted to the young lieutenant as the
lieutenant was TO her. After short court
ship they became engaged, and short time
later were married.

referee had to get drink OF water and
look in the city directory before he was able
to render his decision. He came to a con-

sition of referee is thankless one, but

The men appeared to be very fresh and
only ten minute rest was allowed them.
During this time the referee had bet his
hat against a number fifteen and a half

nocturnal clOthesline that Tom would win
the next bout, which was to be catch-as-

coats were removed from the mems shoul-
