Three for five, ma-atchis p cried q
thin child's voice. The voice belong
ed to girl less than yard high, who
had big, pleading blue eyes and pert

with people, some of them out to
show their fine clothes, but most of
them to do Christmas shopping. The
blue-eyed child persistently offered
her wares to a man who was walking
with very stylishly-dresse6 young

gruff tone
'Ah, the poor little thing, cried the
young woman. why don't you buy

word, she opened her fur coat and un-

knot on the child's grey hood, and
patting the pink cheek, turned away.

much annoyed.
'Oh, why, it will please the poor
mother so to think that some one has
noticed her sweet-faced child was the

The Fastest Shave on Record.

Talking about quick shaves, said a

VANDERBILT AND GAR RETT.
An Eye Witness Account Of What
Transpired Between the Old

friend of the late John w. Garret, re-
lated to me the other day the circum-
stances of the first meeting between
Mr.. Garrett and Commodore Wander

in which their sons have since become
kings. Mr.. Garrett related the inter-
view to my friend few days after its
occurrence.

Ohio called upon the old commodore
Just after Bob Garrett had graduated
from Princeton College in 1867. Bob
and Harrison were with their father at
the time, and when they were ushered
into the presence of the commodore the
two boys took themselves to an obscure
corner of the room. Mr.. Vanderbilt's
greeting was

Such words from the lips of such
clerical looking gentleman as Mr.. Van

buted it to the board of directors rath-

The Worlds Largest Barn.

The Union Cattle Company, of Chey-
enne, has a cattle barn located eight
miles from Omaha, which is the largest
structure of the kind in the world. II
was commenced in April, 1885, and
$l25, 900 has been expended upon it.
There are accommodations for 1850
head of cattle, and the original design
to provide for 5000 head will probably
be carried out during the present year.
The building is 400 by 600 ieet, cover
ing five acres, and IN it the cattle are
fattened for market. So complete are
the arrangements for feeding that one
man can attend to it. All that he has
to do is to turn the faucet, and the
cooked meal, forced to large tanks a.
bove the barn, passes to the feeding
trough in front of each animal. Forty
five men do all the work, making one
man for every 200 head of cattle. 1t
requires about l, 900 bushels Of meal for
each days feeding, in addition to the
hay from the prairie. which costs S4 a
ton. There is IA regular system Of wa
ter works, and with 1t the flooring is
cleaned up twice day. requiring only
seven men to do this part Of the daily
labor. The Union Cattle Company
was incorporated about seventeen years
ago. The men who compose it began
on small scale years ago, with a very
little capital. 200. They now have &c..
600 head Of cattle on the range, and
have So, 100000 invested in the busi-
ness. The stock consists of Herefords,
Shorthorns and Durhams, and is con-
tlnualy improving by the introduction
of the finest animals in the market.
They are kept on the ranges in Wyom.
ing and Montana till they are about
three or four years old, when they are
brought to the barn for fattening,
which requires about four months.

TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS.
Dangers Attending the Present
Wholesale SLAUGHTER OF Trees
Exposed.

A. meeting was held last week at the
hall of the Historical Society of Penn
sylvaI,ia, No. 1900 Locust street, Phil
adelphia, ito expose the dangers attend
ing the present destruction OF forests
and in the hope Of arousing general
interest in forestry in Pennsylvania
Clayton McMichael presided and Pro-
fessor j. +. Rothrock delivered the first
address. He called especial attention
20 the slaughter of the Western forests.
'Why,' said he, they cut the trees for
their bark only and then let them rot.
Thus does confagration spread when
fire takes place. Others are felled,
one or two railroad ties taken and the
rest left to rot as before. It takes for
ty years to grow tree properly
Professor Edmund j. James read a
paper, i'm which he said j: Everything
fish, game, coasting trade and manu-
features lis protected, except the for
ests. Whenever it appears that the in
terest of the community is likely to
suffer the State has interfered. We
must now begin to pay attention to
forest culture and forest protec tion,
which are more important than any or
the others. We can import lumber,
but climate and rainfall, so dependent
on timber, we cannot. We must have,
first. government protection by law;
second, special Individual action. we
must have State forests, under the con-
troll and management OF the State ; Of
fer premiums and institute professor
ships among the farmers aud others.
Professor B. E. Fernon, Chief or the
Forestry Division Department OF Agri-
culture, Washington, showed clearly
the necessity for action in the matter
and dilated upon the difference on this
side of the Atlantic and the other,
where special government attention is
given to forest culture.
DR.. J. nj. Anders followed in an IN
structive and forcible appeal, the char
acter of his audience being a guaran-
tee of the earnestness and power or
those interested in the movement.

Dickens Kittens.

Charles Dickens, the great novelist,
once had a cat which he christened
with the German name of Williamina.
This cat ingratiated herself into favor
with every one in the house, but she
was particularly DEVOTED 20 the master.
Charles Dickens daughter tells us that
once after a family of kittens had been
born, Williamina took fancy that she
and her family would live in the noYel-
ist's study. So she brought them up,
one by one, from the kitchen floor, where
a comfortable bed had been provided
for them, and deposited them in the
corner of the study. They were taken
down stairs by orGer of the master, who
said he really could no. allow the kit
tens to be in his room. Williamina
tried again, but again with the same
result. But when. the third time, she
carried a kitten up the stairs into the
hall, and from there to the study win
dow, jumping in with it in her mouth,
and laying it at her masters feet, until
the whole family were at last before
him, and she herself sat down beside
them and gave him an imploring look,
he could resist no longer, and William
ina carried the day.
AS the kittens grew up they became
very rampagious, and swarmed up the
curtains and played on the writing-ta-
Bile. and scampered among the book
shelves. and made such noise as was
never heard i'm the study before. But
the same spirit which influenced the
whole house must have been brought to
bear upon those noisy little creatures to
keep them still and quiet when neces-
sary, for they were meyer complained
of, and they were never turned out of
the study until the time came for Civ
ing them away and finding good homes
for them.
One kitten was kept, and, being q
very exceptional cat, deserves to be
specially mentioned. Being deaf he
had no name given him, but was called
by the servants the masters cat in
consequence of his devotion to him.
He was always with his master, and
used to follow him ABOUT the garden
and sit with him while he was writing.
One evening they were left together,
the ladies of the house having gone to
ball in the neighborhood. Charles
Dickens was reading 1T small table,
on which q lighted candle was placed,
when suddenly the candle went out.
He was much interested in his book,
relighted the candle, gave pat to the
cat who he noticed was looking up at
him with most pathetic expression,
and went on with his reading. A few
minutes afterwards, the light getting
dim, he looked up and was in time to
see pHss deliberately put out the can
die with his paw. and then gaze again
appealingly at his master. This second
appeal was understood, and had the de-
sired effect. The book was shut. and
puss was made fuss with and amused
till bedtime.
