Anxious Judge Peterby.

Mrs. Judge Peterby is @ very spare wo- man. She is excessively thin. A few days ago her husband said:
 q don't really think that you ought to go out on the street, Mariah."
 'TWhy not?" she asked.
 'Well, you know there is so much danger just now from mad dogs. They will bite at almost anything"
 But I don't think I am in any more danger than anybody else."

4 Timely Suggestion.

One hundred and twenty-six thou sand miles of railway are now resonant with commerce in the United States. Each mile contains 5000 wooden ties (the average life of the tie is ten years; each year 10 per cent. of the ties is re- newed). At 60 cents apiece the an- nual cost is more than $20, 0,000, ,000, and ten years from date every tie now in use will have been renewed. Think of the forests thus destroyed, and of the other means of consumption of timber products, in bridges, cars, warehouses, depots and fuel, which the voracious and unsuitable railroads also employ; and do they replace any trees? Not as yet. But the courts have de- clared the rights of the States to regll- late railroads in many ways, and why not as to their utilization for tree planting along their lines on their 100 feet of right of wayp-J Sterling Nor ton, i11 Outing.

BOATING IN THE SKY.

And the mOon-Who turns you round When on her you'd run aground? As the wild goose quacks it south, Can you see inside his mouth? When the bluebird brings the spring, Is it pinned beneath his wing? Have you ever seen that town Where the sun stays when he's down? Is his hair all gold and curly? How does he get up so early? Who lives way on yonder hill, Always talking when it's still? wonder, oh. 1 do just wonder If you've seen old growing Thunderl Can't he stop his children's chatter?

 His System of Defense.
 The frequency with which unloaded guns and pistols are discharged with fatal results is suggestive of the suspicion that some of the alleged deplorable accidents are the re- suit of deep design.
 These peculiar accidents remind one of g. conversation that occurred between two negroes.

 '7Dat's a pistil, one ob dis heah pistils what's easy on de trigger, what cocks hit self and shoots hitself off"
 "Whaffor does yer want a pistil? Can't yer 'fend yersef wid knife?"
 The other negro, who was very hard case, shut one eye, and with a smile that was calculated to produce a shudder, re- piled:
 'When pistil goes off and kills a man yer kin make folks believe it went off by akcerdent, but ef you say knife killed a man akcerdentally some folks will be shore to hab doubts. ."-TexaS Siftings.
