AN HISTORIC CANE.

Newspaper Man Carries q Piece OF the
Old Frigate Constitution.
''Do you see that stick" said Mr.. A.
P. Cunningham, Of the National Re
publican, as he held out plain brown
walking-stick for inspection. "Well,
that stick is historical. Did you ever
hear of the United States frigate Con-
stitution? That cane is made from one
of the original pieces of that vessel,
which was built in 1885 by subscrip-
ton from the women of Boston and
Massachusetts,. In 1875 the frigate
was brought down to the navy yard at
Philadelphia, which now belongs to the
Pennsylvania railroad, and was there
overhauled and rebuilt, the only orig
inal pieces left in her being her keel
son, part of her cutwater, five or six
ribs and her after bits. This piece is
part of the original molding in the
berth deck, its companion piece being
in the possession of Senator Logan. /
was in charge of the Constitution at
the time of her rebuilding, and cut
the piece out and had it finished under
my personal supervision. When re-
fitted the ship went to sea awhile and
is now in the old dock at the Brooklyn
navy yard. She is one of the finest
built ships ever put together on Amer
lean stocks. Every timber in her was
live oak, her decks were of yellow pine,
and she was copper-fastened from stem
to stern. BY the way, l believe she
still carries her original figurehead. :"

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

The Prodigal Hospitality Of the Great
American Patriot and Statesman.
Not until the days of General Grant
was ths English form of giving nation
al gratitude a pecuniary form observed
by even part of the American people.
Not few of the great leaders of the
revolution were allowed to die in
poverty, verifying the spirit, if not
the letter. of the lines:
'.And bailjffs may s eize his last blanket to-
Whose pail shall be upborne by heroes to-
morrow
Congress, in two or three cases,
showed tardy sense of gratitude by
purchasing the papers and libraries of
those whose public service had caused
them to die insolvent, thus enabling
their families to live in something ap-
preaching comfort.
Thomas Jefferson, toward the close
of his life, was so infirm and poor that
he applied to the Legislature of Vir-
ginia for permission to dispose of his
large estate by lottery. He hoped by
this method to realize sum sufficient
to pay his debts and to give him COM
petence. Public duties prevented him
from looking after his estate during
many years, and a profuse hospitality
exhausted his means. Mr.. Jeffef
son was the most popular of
American citizens, and people came
from far and near to see him, prompted
by curiosity or affection. Life at Mon
ticelio resembled, for years, that in a
hotel al fashionable watering-place.
Members of Congress. officc-holders,
clergymen, lawyers. doctors, artists,
foreigners and people of fashion fOcked
to see the great statesman, and to par
take of his hospitality. Fifty guests
were entertained one night, and whole
families came in their carriages, and
remained for months. One family of
six persons came from Europe and
made a visit of ten months. Then they
made a short tour through the States,
returned to Monticello and remained
six months longer.
A gentleman asked Wormley, Mr..
Jefferson's favorite servant, pointing to
the three carriage-houses, each of which
would contain fOur-horse coach,
''How often were these filled in Mr..
Jefferson's time?"
Every night in summer, sir"
answered the servant; 'and we often
had two or three carriages besides un-
der that tree"
''It must have taken all hands to take
care of your visitors -
Eyes, sir, and the whole farm to feed
them," said the slave.-Youth's Com

HINDOO SUFFERING.

A Naturally Rich Country Where Poor
People Eat But One Meal n Day.
Human life is supported in India
upon the barest minimum of necessar-
les; the village population feed upon
the commonest grains. never eating
animal food (Which is contrary to their
rchgion), and rarely tasting the finer
grains, such as wheat and barley. The
clothing worn is of the scantiest, and l
was distressed to see many of the peo-
pie IN the Northwest provinces shiver-
ing and half naked in weather so cold
that l was glad to wear two topcoats.
The houses are built of clay, and al
most destitute of furniture. and 1 un-
derstand a large portion of the popula-
ton only eat one meal a day. OF
course, this in an Eastern country does
not signify what it does in Europe
life can be sustained on less food and
less nutritious diet than in Northern
climes; the labor power of the Hindoos
is small: there is far less taken out of
the human machine than in our labori-
Gus Western life: it consumes less and
produces less; besides. the Asiatic has
the power of digesting greater guam
tity of food at one meal than is possi-
BILE to Europeans; but when due allow
ance is made for all this, it is not to be
denied that the poverty of great part
of the people of India is extreme, and
more acute than we witness in Europe.
1t may be said with truth of . great
part of the rural population that it is
never very far removed from famine.
A scanty harvest any year brings that
calamity within measurable distance;
failure of crops means death to a
large part of the population unless fed
by the Government = Contemporary

SAUCY DICK.

The Trick He Had Of Splashing and Fright
ening the Cat-His Lady Visitor.
"Saucy Dick" l think hear some
one say: pray, who and what is he?"
Well, that is just what I am going to
tell you. He was only little. bright
yellow canary bird. We called him
''Saucy Dick" because of the saucy
way he had of turning up his head,
first on one side, then on the other, and
looking at us in such a pert manner,
whenever we gathered around his cage,
as if he were trying TO count, and see
how many of us there were. He was
very cunning, mischievous bird. and
it would take up more time and space
than l have to give, to tell you one
half his cunning tricks, but his great
est delight was in sprinkling the cat.
Pussy was in the habit of lying down
directly underneath Dicks cage to take
her morning nap. and the little fellow
soon discovered that when he took his
bath and sprinkled a few drops of wa
ter on the floor the cat would run.
Then he began to take delight in it.
and no matter how many times he had
bathed, or at what time of day the cat
would come and lie down, Dick would
90 Immediately into his bathing-dish
and begin to dash and splash about,
peepin@ over every few minutes to see
if the cat was still there, and then go
ing back, until he had succeeded at
last in making her run. Then in the
most comical and cunning manner he
10 OF
his vanquished foe with an unmis-
taxable look of triumph. If there
was no water in his dish he
would make such a fuss about it that
mamma would be compelled to give
him some in order to quiet him. One
day lady called to see mamma, and
happened to take seat quite near to
Dicks cage Dick eyed her moment,
and then hoped into his dish and be-
gan to splash, which attracted the
lady's attention. Mamma told her
about his naughty trick of splashing
the cat. and added: Il do verify be-
lieye he is trying to do the same to
you. The lady scarcely believed that
bird could be so intelligent, but
asked mamma to give him some water,
for she wanted to see what he would
do. Mamma did so. and he dashed
and splashed about till soon there was
not a drop left, stopping every little
while to look at the lady and see if there
were any indications of moving on her
part, and then going back to his dish
with renewed vigor. But the lady did
not move. She only laughed and shook
her finger at him, and said: .'Now.
you naughty bird, is that the way you
treat your visitors? I'm not gong to
run from you like the cat, for my dress
and shawl are thick and can stand a
good deal of splashing." Then she
asked mamma to give him more water.
for she wanted to see the fun out. ."
she said. Mamma very reluctantly
filled his dish the third time. when he
made such a vigorous splashing that
he not only wet the lady completely.
but the floor and furniture ali around
him. and she was compelled to move,
or have her new bonnet ruined. Then
with what saucy self-satisfied air did
that bird look at her, with look that
seemed to say: "Aha. you had to move
at last "-DetrOH Free Press.

Little Susie's full of fun;
She is only three times one:
Full OF sunshine and delight
Little laughter-lOvin9 sprite!
Every morn she hurries out
To tie barn, and round about
Full of eager. helpful joy,
Cause she "Papa's little boy"
Then into the house she comes,
Wipes the dishes, sweeps the crumbs:
Always in busy whirl,
Cause she Mammals little gir.
When she wants to take nap.
Up she climbs in grandma'S lap.

Cause shes "Gan mas p'ecious
