The Flower and the Sick Child.

An anxious mother sat on the forward deck
of a Mississippi steamboat and held in her
arm the emaciated form of q baby girl The
little patients face was white and the blue
veins stuck out Of the chalky surface in IN
due prominence. The little ones eyes were
closed but not in sleep, as the drowsy lids
were half opened now and then as some per-
son passed along or her attention was other
wise attracted. They closed again YEARLY as
if the exertion was too great to keep them
open.
The burly mate came up to direct the deck
hands to remove certain freight that was
stored along the cabin deck. His oaths had
been heard by the passengers as he urged the
negro roustabouts 10 preform their work
The negroes apparently were afraid of him.
He appeared to be exceedingly cross even for
a steamboat mate.
His immense form, fat face and round BODY
attracted the attention of the sick child as
he passed between her and the setting sun.
She opened her big, blue eyes and looked at
him. He spoke in deep voice and Numbered
at the men. She continued to look at him in
amazement.
''Your little one is sick, madame?" quered
the burly mate, addressing the anxious
mother. "Poor little BARN. You look about
tuckered out yourself, madame"
At this moment the boat passed very close
to shore, so near, in fact, that the wild flowers
on the bank were visible to the sick child.
The boat grazed along the bottom and soon
struck sandbar and stopped short.
''Baby wants flowers" lisped the little suf-
ferer, as she noticed the blooming banks.
The mate went below. The mother attempted
to quiet the little invalid without success
She had set her heart on the flowers and would
not be satisfied. 1t was some time before the
boat got off the sandbar, and during that
time burly man had taken small boat and
gone ashore He gathered quantities of wild
flowers. When he came back he took them up
on the cabin deck and gave them to the sick
child, who was delighted.
The anxious mother thanked the burly
mate Tor his kindness. The mate held the
tiny hand OF the baby for second and went
below, and soon he was heard swearing at the

inns of Its Nh en- nin1.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Daily Tele-
gram, commenting on the Bulgarian revo-
luton, says it proves that the Bulgarans
are incapable Of becoming united
nation, proclaims that Russia is
again Lord of the Balkan ranges and of the
European ports and must awaken lively
reflections in the minds of the
Ottomans. The Morning Post says:
1t is evident that Prince Alexander's
courage has been worn out by the slow
course of the incessant intrigue and con-
spiracy with which he found himself con-
fronted.
VIENNA, Aug. 22.-The news of the
revolution in Bulgaria caused heavy
and rapid fall on the bOurse
here. One rumor is that Prince
Alexander was imprisoned at Widdin.
Another is that he was placed on board
ship whose destination is unknown, M.
Zankoff, who is the prime mover of the
revolution and the nominal head of the
new government, allows only favorable
news to leave Bulgaria.

The Train Boy.

The little train boy was dying. On his
death-bed the sufferer lay, his emaciated face
and hands exciting pity and concern. No
mothers hand smoothed his brow. No
mothers tears and sobs marked the going
out of his young life. Father, brother and
sister he had none. A waif upon the world
he, from childhoods tenderest hours, had
made his own way. Alone had he waged the
battle of life and from newsboy and boot
black to train boy he had worked his own
advancement.
An accident in which he had lost his leg
placed him in the hospital. The ampntation
proved too much for his constitution and
slowly but surely his life flickered and was
going out. A brave little patient he bore all
his suferings without complaint, save that he
was anxious to get up and take his ''run'' as
he called it. No one told him that his days as
train boy were at an end. A fever set in
and he become dellrious. Train talk he con-
stantly INDUCED in during his delirium and
made many imaginary runs into st. Paul

Weaker and weaker he become. The nurse
aud physician watched beside his couch. His
brow was covered with the dew of death.
His last run on earth was soon to end.

addressing an imaginary conductor, land yer

Catching Salmon in the Celumb ia
BLOOMINGTON I'LL \ Pant0uranh

Bloomington Qll.) Photograph.
At the rapids we saw the salmon fisher
les. These fish are not caught by hook and
line. A large wheel is attached to the end
of fat-boat. The boat is anchored on the
shore where the current is swift. The
wheel has four wide buckets, and the wa
ter turns the wheel. The salmon push up
the stream. run into the buckets and are
lifted out of the water and landed in the
f1at-boat. They are counted. put into cask
and f1oated down to the canneries. where
they are packed up and canned. The river
catches the fish and then transports them
to the canneries. One gentleman told me
that the profits of single fishery had been
as high as $500 day during the season.
Some of the salmon weigh over fifty pounds,
and often they jump out of the water so
that they can be seen. Large seals can be
seen up the river after salmon. We no.
ticed several. We reach the cascades about
noon, and are taken by narrow-guage
road about six miles to another boat, the
Hassalo. The government is constructing
canal and locks at the cascades.

A man often shows his character by the
way he carries his umbrella. If he is alb
sent-m1nded he will lug it by the top of the
handle, careless of whether it is folded or
fapping, and Indifferent if it trails behind
him upon the pavement. He may be bust

frequently twirls his umbrella in circles
from the wrist, as he spins down the street.

Imply, before him; if he is angry he grabs
it by the handle as if it were a club; and
if he is dude he pokes the ferule In

ment, and as he passes on, witches it for
