A PLUCkY GIRL.

She Was Careless About Locking Doors,
But Proved Terror to Burglars.
'.It's joke on me, of course, but I'll
give it to you fellows" said . Cass farm
man to little group in the city hall
yesterday. II have great fear ofburg-
lars. When I go to bed Iwant to know
that every door and window is securely
fastened. About month ago we
changed hired girls, and the new
conner was very careless about the
doors o. nights. On two or three oc-
casions came DOWNSTAIRS at midnight
to find window up or door unlocked.
] cautioned her, but it did no good. I
therefore determined to put up job on
her. / got some false whiskers and an
old rig, and one night about eleven
o'clock I crept up the back stairs
to her room. She was snoring
like a trooper, but the minute
struck match she awoke. / expected
great yelling and screaming, but
nothing of the sort took place. She
bounced out of bed with a.: You vii
lain!' ON her lips, seized chair by the
back, and before had made a move
she knocked me to my knees. Before
I could get out of the room she struck
me again, and it was only after ha6
tumbled down the back stairs that she
gave the alarm. Then she went through
to my room, raped on the door, ane
coolly announced:
"tMr. Blank, please get up-Tvt
killed burglar. '"-Detroit Free Press

RESTAURANT PIES.
Hard Facts Brought to Light by Scientific
Investigation.

Hard Facts Brought to Light by Scientific
Investigation.
The restaurant pie is of an impreg-
nable nature that defies the onslaughts
of man and renders vain the efforts of
ssteel implements to open it.
There was once a restaurateur who
furnished patrons with giant powder
free when they purchased his pies, butit
required such vast quantity that he
finally became insolvent.
These pies make durable paving
material, being much more lasting than
cedar blocks, and have also been sue
cessfully used as saddles, when nodded
in the proper shape and provided with
stlrrups.
Instances are on record where they
have been furnished with handles and
used as sledge hammers to good effect,
but they were most too heavy to WELD
easily.
The interior of the common peach pie
is matter of grave doubt, and many
savants have been baff1ed in their efforts
to determine the question. Another sa-
want and myself once tried to find out,
but after quarrying for two or three
days were obliged to desist.
The mince pie is equally vague, and
is splendid guide to the nightmare ant
a premature grave.
Restaurant pies of all kinds are un
safe and mysterious, unless the guaran
ty of the manufacturer accompanies
them, showing that they were not mad,
in stove foundry.-St. Louis Whip.

In the Nick of Time.

A correspondent in Montana, telling
of the fortuitous discovery of silver
mines, relates this incident: A prospect
or in New Mexico with the honored
name of John Quincy Adams found hi
haversack on fire, his prospector's glass
having focused the SUMS rays upon it.
As the haversack contained about q
dozen pounds of powder he dropped il
and got out OF the way in a hurry. l,
rock was thrown up. Adams returned
mournfully to gather up what might be
left of his effects, and found an exceed.
ingly rich vein of ore which the explo-
sion had exposed to view He sold {
third interest in his find for sixteer
thousand dollars, and very consistently
named the mine ''The Nick Of Time -

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
IN DIMPLE-LAND.

In Dimple- land, in Dimple-land,
The grass is always greenl
There May and May go hand in hand,
With not a storm between.
'Tis all jonquils,
And daffodils,
And dandelons gay;
And trees that dress in pink and white,
And birds that sing all day.
The lucky folk in Dimple-land
Do naught from sun to sun,
Yet every thing that's fine and grand
Grows there for every one.
With little smiles,
And cunning wileS,
They buy whate' er they miss;
And naught is there TOO great or dear
To purchase with kiss.
Such fun they have in Dimpie-landl
1t is the drollest place!
Somebody shouts, or waves hand,
Or makes q funny face;
Then all the folk
Join in the joke,
And jump, and sing, and laugh,
So many merry games they know,
can not tell you half.
And when at last they just begin
To tire of so much play,
The Queen of Dimple-land comes in,
And takes them all away;
And shuts their eyes
With lullabies.
think that you'll agree,
No other country ever had
So sweet Queen as she.

here that you must wear . cross when

places the steel, supposed in Morse le-
gend to deter a Nyok from approach

A still more curious incident is relat-
ed by Ellrick: 81 myself saw a fellow
fall overheard and drown, after, long
struggle, during which neither the crew
of the vessel nor his comrades made the
slightest efforts to save him. While he
was battling against the angry waves,
the crew stood quite composedly on deck
and said in chorus: Jack! Jack! give
in! Dost thou not see that it pleases
Godp'" "A.
Similar things are recorded Of Bo-
hemian fishermen, in 1864, who say that
s.Waterman'' will drown them, and take
away their luck in fishing. They also
pray on the river-bank, and offer wax
candles and bread.
The Chinese have a repugnance to-
| ward aiding drowning men. They say
the soul of drowned person is in a
kind of ocean purgatory, whence it is
released only by finding some one to
take its place. In Chinese tale, 'The
Fisherman and his Friend" the hero re-
fuses to cid woman who is drowning
for this reason.
The Hong Kong authorities were
obliged to insert a clause in junk char
tiers, requiring them to save life if the
necessity occurred. Gray tells of many
instances that came under hi
observation where Chinese refused
to aid drowning men, claiming tina
their spirits fitted along the watei
demanding sacrifice. Salt was thrown
into the place where any one was savet
from drowning, to appease thei
spirits.
Hindus would not save any one VIII
fell into the sacred Ganges, but woul,
help him to drown, if near by, and

one was robbing his money drawer.
Naturally his suspicious fell upon old
Steve, the negro porter. Steve protested
his innocence. Cattleton was deter
mined to search him, so, one night
about the time Steve was ready to go
home, the grocer approached him and
said:
''Steve, must search you"
ttWhut fur, bossp'
ssYou know what for. Come, take
off your clothes and shake them.''
Steve objected. Nothing was discov-
cred. The next day the grocer saw
Steve lowering over the cash drawer.
