There Is an old soldier employed In
the Government Office In this city who
has had some queer experiences with

of at the knee. among the most anus
ing was one with a sleeping car porter.
On one train he struck an uppish sort
of a porter who stood around with Ian
guild dignity that would make a street
corner dude sick at heart. This mat
with the wooden leg made up bis mind
that he would "wake that Niger up"
before he Clipped In his quarters. lie
told couple of men In the car his pur-
pose, and they joined in with him. lie
wears his shoes firmly fastened 10 the
wooden leg, having no need to remove
Il, and having fallen once from loose
shoe.
After his berth had been made up he
went 20 the dressing room and unstrap-
ped his leg, keeping hold Of the strap,
and then going to his berth. Then he
called the porter, 'I've got the rheuma-
tism and can't bend over he said, land
I wish you'd pull of that shoe." The
porter united tile shoe and tried TO pull
IL of, but IL wouldn't come. Pull
hard" said the passenger. Tho darkey
gave another pull. 20, brace against
the berth and pull, !" said the passenger. Z.
The porter had blood In bis eye. lie
put his foot against the berth and
pulled like q dentist. The passenger
let 20 the strap and the darkey fell back
with the shoe and the leg. my God
you've pulled OF my leg 'sLfieked the
passenger. The porter dropped IL, and
with his eyes bulgiDg out aud his teeth

A BurrOwing Bird.

A more quiet picture is Afforded by
the hill where the auks brood. They
resemble the eider-duck IN shape, ex-
cept that their bills are sharp aud not
fat. like those of the latter. There are
three specie. OF them, which are distiD-
yuislIed from one another by the length
of the bill and its curvature. All three
species live and brood In the same places.
| was told OF mountain where a mil
lion of them had built their nests. am
sure OF Que thing-tbat no man has ever
seen million Of birds, even though he
has travelled over half the earth. Doubt
ing the accounts, visited the described
mountain. On bright summer day my
companion and myself took boat and
rowed toward it, over the smooth, trans-
parent water, between beautiful islands,
followed by the sereechiDg Of the start
led guIls. High above us on towering
ridge VIZ saw the wstchful ospreys; by
our side, on right and left, along the
shore-cliffs, the sitting eider-ducks. FL
naIly we came TO the populous part Of
the mountain, which Is from 800 70 $50
feet high, and saw really immense num-
Der. Of birds sitting on the ridges. The
higher parts OF the cone were covered
with bro rOSn-spoonwort, and rs we ap-
preached the shore the birds drew back
thither, and suddenly disappeared from
view as if by eopeerted agreement.
When we had reached the shore and
landed, and were wondering what had
BECOME OF the hosts Of birds, We found
the ground burrowed all over with
holes that looked like common rabbit
holes. We soon learned that they were
the entrances 10 the nest-chambers OF
! the auks. The holes are large enough
to permit the birds to pass through, and
then widen on the inside 30 ~ TO give
room for the nest and two birds. Az
we climbed the height, the tenants hrss
carefully and anxiously peered At US,
then slipped out aud threw themselves
screaming into the sea, which was soon
covered, as far as the eye could reach,
with birds whose cry resembled the
noise Of gigantic surf or Of raging
storm.-PopuIar Sence Monthly.

Only . Song.
1t was only o simple ballad.
Sunp IN a careless throng.

1t was only simple ballad.
Sung to careless throng;
There we're none that knew the singer.
And few that needed the song;
Yet the singers voice was tender
And sweet, as with love untold;
Surely those hearts were hardened,
That 1t left so proud and cold.
She sang OF the wondrous glory
That touches the wood in spring.
OF the strange, soul-stirring voices
When "the hills break forth and sing"
OF the happy birds low warbling
The requiem Of the day,
And the quiet hush Of the valleys
In the dusk Of the cleaning gray.
And one in distant corner,
A woman worn with strife,
Heard in that song message
From the springtime Of her life;
Fair forms rose up before her
From the mist OF vanished years:
She sat in happy blindness,
Her eyes were yelled in tears.
Then when the song was ended,
And hushed the last sweet tone,
The listener rose up softly,
And went on her way alone.
Once more to her life Of labor
She passed. but her heart was strong,
And she prayed: "God bless the singer!
And oh, thank God for the song"

Prof. F. SweetZer. of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other nno-
dyne expectorant so good as AYERS CHERRY
PEcroRAL. Ii is invaluable for diseases Of the

The same opinion is expressed by the

IL have never found, in thirty five years Of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY

and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than ANYTHING else in relieving even The most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections

stepped into a we'll known ''ladies'

Presently the waitress brought it. As
she was walking away the old lady
called after her: 81 smell some

Shad for the President

York (Pa.) Age: This morning two
immense shad, weighing nine pound
each, were caught in the S%usquehanna,
on the Columbia side Of the river. They
were at once secured by some one
(whose name was not given), neatly
packed in a light crate, and shipped by
Adams Express to Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States. They
are beauties, and were viewed and adj
mired by hundreds of Workers while
at the express Office here, waiting for
the afternoon train south. Two shad
weighing eighteen pounds arc indeed a
rare sight, but when baked or 'p!anked
in the White House at Washington, in
French style, then-well we will not
anticipate.
