A young lady in an eastern city, who
was reared in luxury, but whose circum-
stances were sadly changed by the
bankruptcy and death Of her father
has been making a living of late bv do
inc mcnding in various families of her
acquaintance Like many other girls
accustomed to idlcncss and wealth. she
had a smattcring Of many things, but
was not proficient enough in any par
iicular line to make a living. At length
it occurred 10 her that She could mend
clothing, darn stockings, and do odd
Jobs of that kind, and on applying for
work found that there was plenty of it to
do. She now has All the customers that
She can attend to, and is making great
success in her chosen industry. Other
Young women who have found the oc-
cupatons that they have felt themselves
fitted for overcrowded, or who have
been unable to turn their hands to An
business requiring preparation on their
part may find in this girls experience
suggestion that will be worth something
to them.

Sending a Boy bY MaiI.

10 WaltIng-room were three or four
fond mammas and papas and their mum
erous direct descendants of both sexes
The children were all rcstless-what
child ever was not in a waiting-room-
and there were many narrow escapes
from bad falls and bumps, the inevitable
casualties OF climbing and romping. At
last one of the youngster fell off a seat
and struck his poor little head against
the stove, removing a square inch or so of
epldermls from his face. lie was i'm
mcdately picked up by his pa, his tears
wiped away and piece of court plaster
carefully moistened on the paternal
tongue and applied to the injured part
Then he was lifted to his ancestors
shoulders and passed bodily through the
ticket window into the arms of the ticket
agent, who was the papa's brother.
"Oh, ma, exclaimed another vouno-
ster, evidently from the country who
had watched all of these proceedings with
oPen-mouthed establishment; "Oh. ma.
there's a poor little boy who's going to
be sent through the mails. They just
put a stamp on him and dropped him
into the Fostofiice. y Chicago HoraJd

sertion. Now we may believe every
word he says, but cannot grant his claim,
simply because there is no legal proof.
Perhaps the persons whom he knew he
could prove it by, are dead or nobody
knows where, consequently his claim ID
rejected. But this does not necessarily
end the matter, as the claimant may ac-
cidentaly stumble on some proof that he
knew nothing about, and send to Wash
ington and revive his claim. On the
other hand, a man may assert that he
contracted rheumatism on the 18th day
of December, 1868. We will go to him
and take his full statement, and then ask,
"Can you prove thisl" "Oh, yes, he
will answer, and then we will ask hin
for the names Of his witnesses. He viii

ing in different parts Of the country. J
will 90 to one and ask him if he know
that Mr.. Smith contracted rheumatism
on such a day. lie may say: "Well, J
remember that Mr.. Smith complained o
itching pains in his leg that morning
He had been on picket duty the night be
fore and that morning borrowed bottl'
of liniment from one of the boys an(
rubbed his leg for some time" I'll g
to the other witness and he will say,
eyes, remember Smith was complain
ing that day told him we were going
to have serious trouble and that he had
better drop back and go to the hospital,
but he said, 4 came here to fight, not to
go to the hospital Well, he will
suffer from rheumatism after that and
know that he contracted it that night
while on picket duty, and has two wit
nesses to prove it, SO he gets a pension.
If man is entitled to pension and can
prove it by competent witnesses he has
no trouble in securing it.

How an Alphabet is Deyeloped.

Suppose that some old nation Of Asia
after having for ages drawn aa OK when
they wished to recall an OK, began at last
to draw the picture Of an OK also when
ever it was needful to write about plow-
ing. Then instead of an OK it would
convey an idea relating to an OK. and
would be what is called a symBol. After
a while some one would say to himself:
What IS the use Of drawing all Of the OK
when the head alone, which every one
will know from its shape and its horns.
gives just the same thought? Now sup
pose this ox-head gradually gets to mean
the sound Of OF in all words of the lam
guage wherein that syllable occurs. as in
the name of the river Ox-us. Then the
ox-head would appear in words having
nothing whatever to do with cattle or
plowing, Then it is called a piece of
sond-writing, because it does not recall
certain given thing, but sound.
Sound-writing is thus an improved kind
of picture-writing You llknow sound
writing, and have probably composed
sentences in it, but you know it under
another name. Hardly a magazine for
young people is printed in which you
will not find refuses. Well, many rebus.
es are nothing but sound-writings
And many, many thousand years ago oul
ancestors had no other kind of writing
And the next step onward from sound
writing was syilaJle-writing. Remembc
that people who had reached that stag
thought of sign or symbol as represent
ing one syllable at the least. Suppos
the ox-head was called aleph. 1t woul
soon be found more convenient to en-
! ploy it in all words where there was th
sound or syllable Of a. And this W,
the process with as many other letters ;
there were in such early writing. W
will call this the syllabary stage, bccaus
signs stood for syliSbles, and so distir
guish it from the alphabet that came later
The next advance would be to tax
the little picture for the sound alone
and thus begin to use a real alphabet

EmbaImed by the Soil.

Human bodies buried in limestone
countries are often turned to solid stone
by the lime-watcr which penetrates the
graves. In other soils there are clements
which sometimes so embalm the buried
dead as to preserve form and features un-
changed. Many such cases are on record
Robert Burns's body was disinterred in
1915, to be removed to new tomb. To
the surprise ofall his friends, the features
were found to be as perfect as at burial.
The case of John Hampden, the
famous English patriot and leader, was
more surprising. His body was disin-
tered by Lord Nugent, two hundred
years after burial, but form and features
were as unchanged as if the corpse had
been recently laid in the grave.
When general Washington's body was
taken up at Mt Vernon, to be laid in
sarcophagus and removed to the perma-
nent tomb, his face was found to be in
state of perfect preservation.
In all these cases, however, the process
of decay had gone on internally, thoug
arrested at the surface. After brief ex-
posure to the air, the body cumbled,
and all resemblance to life passed away

One of the most annoying things that
the country people has to contend with
(says the West Union (O) Defe@de') is
the ordinary town COW. When the farm
er leaves home he puts in the bottom OF
his sleigh or sled bountiful armful OF
hay. This answers the twofold purpose
of a seat and to keep the feet of himself
and the good wife warm. He arrives at
town. unloads his wife in front of some
store, and proceeds to hitch his team at
some point about the public square. NO
sooner is his back turned thaent dozen
starved COWS Immediately surround his
sled, and before he can say "Jack Robin
son with his mouth opcn,' every straw IN
his sled has gone through the gastric
ssfiHees OF the nforesaid cows W.
tlced one particularly careful fellow ttfe
other day. After hitching his team he
took his hay and carried it into the court
house yard. He was going to have the
deadwood on that bunch of hay and de-
parted for a saloon with a grin on his
face. We watched the proceedings with
considerable interest He was no. out
of sight until three or four long horns
opened the gate and proceeded to the
pile and chcwed it up. Clubbing these
lean kind does no good In fact they
rather enjoy the fun. You can take an
ordinary stick of cordwood and bounce
it from off their carcasses fifty feet high
and they will turn around and smile at
you They don't even grunt when you
have hit them hard enough to stave in
their ribs Such punishment seems only
to act as a tonic; it whets their appetites
and makes them enjoy the repast which
the farmer has hauled to them from his
home many miles distant. And after it
is all over just notice the peculiar look
they give the man who came to town sit
ting on pile of hay, as he departs for
home on the bare boards The town
COW is a nuisance, tut at the same time a
necessity in all rural villages A "home
without a mother" would not be more
lonesome spectacle than a rural village
without its herd of lean long-horned,
stump tailed cows.

Forever Young.

The wild world hastens on its way;
The gray haired century nears it close;
Its sorrow depens day by day;
The Summer blush forsakes the rose.
But, darling, while your voice l hear,
And while your dark brown eyes see,
sad months and sunless. seasons drear,
Are all the same, all glad, to me.
Despair can never reach me
While your soft hand hold,
While your eyes love and teach me.
lnever shall grow old
They say that love forsakes the old:
That passion pales and fades away;
That even loves bright locks Of gold
Must lose their charm and change to gray.
But, darling, while your heart is mine,
And while feel that you are true,
For me the skies will ever shine
With Summer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old-age deride mel
l scorn his mocking tongue.
Dear love, with you beside me,
am forever youngl

A Woodland Flower.

How could know, o tender woodland treas
ure.
With petals blue and soft as Summer skies,
That fr m the dust Of long forgotten pleasure
So dear hope, SO fair dream could risei
Meek, lonely blossom hiding in the shadows
And waved by mountain breezes cool and
free,
No fairer flower from Summers golden
meadows
Could bring the thoughts that thou hast
born to me
From the sweet stiffness of the misty noun
tains,
Where fairies weave a strange mysterious
spell,
The cooling winds that blow from hidden
fountains
| Bore thee mid alien bowers and scenes to
| dwell
/ All sweetcr on thy petals, fair and broken,
/ Than winds that blow across Summer
sea,
Or strain Of fairy music, is that token,
Oh wonderols flower, that thou has brought
to me.

A Tough Regiment.

Jack Stephens, Clerk of the Criminal
Court tells how it came about that his
regiment was in the late Senator Miller'q
brigade but fifteen minutes. Jacks regi-
ment was one of the toughest in the army.
and nobody seemed anxious to have it in
his command. After it had been trans
ferred from one brigade to another and
had found nobody who could control it.
Gen. Miles, who was on pretty good
terms with himself and had high opin-
ion of his ability to control any set of
men asked tohave the tough regiment ad-
ded to his brigade. There was no opposi-
ton to this, Of course, and the transfer
was made. Gen. Miller Immediately or
dered the regiment up in line and pro
ceeded to make speech to it, telling the
boys what he was and what he was not
going to suffer them to do. As he
warmed up to his subject he drew off his
long gauntlets and laid them on drum
standing near him. Hardly had he done
this when one of the boys in the line
sneaked around behind the General and
in plain sight of the entire regiment stole
the gauntlets and succeeded in getting
back to his place in the ranks unobserved
by the eloquent General At the close of
the speech, which did not take more than
ten minutes, the General dismissed the
boys and turned to pick up his gauntlets.
"Well, I'll be blessedm What he said
IS not fully reported, but the fact is
known that in five minutes more he had
in having the regiment turned
