Made for the Woods.

In his Random Recollections," Henry
B. Stanton tells the following laughable
story of jeremiah Mason, the great law.
yer:
After he had become distinguished in
New Hampshire, he went into a rural
county to try a civil suit. Apompous lit.
tie judge WAS on the bench. He assigned
Mason to defend a negro on an indict-
mentI for petty larceny. With surprise,
tinged with indignation, Mason declined
the task. "sir, you must obey the order
of the Court" said the little Judge. Gall
you need to do is take your client into
the best adjoining room, and give him the
best advice you can" This struck Mason
in a funny light, and he arose, beckoned
to the negro, and stalked into an empty
room with his "client" at his heels.
care you guilty ?" asked Mason. "Yes
sir" responded the negro. "Can they
proveit7" "Yes, sir; all the witnesses are
here" Mason put his head out of the
open window, and said: "It is about Is
feet to the ground. Do you see those
woods?" The negro leaped, and Mason
returned into the court. By and by the
case Was called, but the negro did not
respond. "Where is your client?" asked
the little Judge. IT do not know" re.
piled Mason. "Your honor directed me
to give him the best advice could, and
the last I saw of him he was running for
those woods over there" Everybody
laughed except the little Judge, and the
curtain fell on the scene.

You Never Said So Before.

An old Virginia minister said lately {:
"Man of my profession see much of the
tragic side Of life. I have seen men die
in battle, have seen children die, but no
death ever seemed so pathetic to me as
the death of an aged mother in my
church. I knew her first as young
girl-beautiful and gay, full of joy and
hope. She married and had four chill.
dren. Her husband died and left her
5penniless. She sewed, she made draw
sings, she taught, she gave herself scarcely
time to eator sleep. Every thought was
for her children; to educate them, to
give them the advantage their father
would have given them had he lived.
She succeeded. She sent her boys to
college, and her girls to school. When
they all llcame home they gave themselves
up to their own selfish pursuits. She
fingered among them some three years,
and then was stricken with mortal illness
brought on by overwork. The children
gathered around her bedside. The old
est son took her in his arms. He said !:
aYou have been a good mother TO u.s."
That was not very much to say, was it?
It was much 20 her, who had never heard
anything like it. a flush came sweep.
ing over her paid face, and with husky
voice she whispered, "My son, you never
said so before!"

lie Came Ont.

A woman on Lafayette street, East,
rushed out the other day and informed a
policeman that she had seen big dog
crawl under her barn, and she believed
the animal mad. The officer went
around by way of the alley, accompanied
by the usual crowd, andIafter peeking and
peering for sometimes he shot three
bullets under the barn to scare the dog
out. After the third shot movement
was heard, and presently the long end of
colored man crawled into view. After
backing on. and brushing the dirt ont of
his eyes, he added:
twas it me you was shooting at?"
II supposed it was dog under there" !"
replied the officer.
"Well, sab. doan' you nebber 'spose no
mo-! It's dangerous"
And he showed bullet hole in his cap
aud another iu his coat, as proofs of the
accuracy of the officers aim. He had
crawled under after rabbit which had
escaped from neighbor.
"It's all right" he said, as the officer
apologized, "but doan' you 'spose no mo- !
You jist keep right down to cole facts.

Gigglers in Church.

Giggling is described in the dictionary
as the act Of Laughing with short catches
of BREATH" as "laughing idly, tittering,
grinning::" 1t is silly and childish
enough anywhere, but in church it is
abominable, and yet there is no place
where giggling is more common. II is
natural in school girls, but when met
with in young women of nineteen and
twenty it is objectionable. 1t is fre.
quently characteristic of young men
with incipient mustaches, who think they
qualify themselves for manhood by affect
ing contempt for what their elders
reverence. They giggle. If they catch
the eye Of az acquaintance they giggle;
if an old woman rises too soon for hymn
they giggle; if q baby cries they giggle
if the clergyman cough they giggle; il
the plate is handed to some one who putt
nothing in they giggle ). if some one
near them sings out or repeats the
responses loudly they giggle; if the
choir makes mistake they giggle. Ir
fact, nothing is too Insignificant to arrest
their notice and produce giggle.

How Peor Puss Was Rescued.

One beautiful summer evening, the
avenues of g large city were throDged
with people on their way to different
churches. At a certain corner, however,
several persons were standing, gazing
apparently into the air. Others soon
Joined them, until so large a crowd was
gathered that the way was completely
blocked.
soon the windows along the street
we're thronged with people, and a number
of persons were seen on the tops of the
houses in the neighborhood.
And what do you think they sawf
UingiDg fordear life to ajutting ornament
near the top Of q tall church.steeple that
pointed straight up into the soft evening
air, was black cat. Glow did it get
there ?" was the first question every one
asked, Chow will it get DOWN." was
the next. The poor creature was looking
down, and at frequent intervals it uttered
a pitiful cry, as if calling to the crowd
below for help. Once, it slipped and fell
short distance down the sloping side of
the steeple, and an exclamation of pity
came from the crowd, now intensely
interested in its fate. Luckily the cats
paws caught on another projection, and
for the moment it was safe.
Some lockers on suggested that it be
shot in order to save it from the more
dreadful death that seemed to await it,
but no one was willing to IRE the shot.
Ere long a little window some distance
above the place where the cat Was cling
ing was seen to open. Two boys had
determined to save it; they had mounted
the stairs to where the bell hung, and
then by ladder had reached the window.
They had taken board with them, and
they now pushed one end of h out of the
window and lowered it till it was within
reach Of the cat. Then by encouraging
words and signs they tried to persuade
the creature to step on the plank. Puss
seemed to understand, and put out one
paw, but drew it back Immediately /; and
at that instant one of the boys accidental.
ly let go his hold the board turned over,
and the cat would certainly have been
dashed to the ground had it trusted to
that means of escape. The boys with
drew the board, but soon resppearing at
the window we're seen lowering q basket
down the side of the steeple. Pussy
having now ceased to cry, watched il
intently as it came nearer and nearer
When within reach, the cat carefully put
out one paw and took hold ofthe side o.
the basket, then as carefully repeated ths
action with the other paw, then drew
itself up, and with q violent effort funl
itself over the side and into the bottom o.
the basket. The next moment it wa!
safely drawn up to the window, annie
loud cheers from the spectators below.

How Is Guess the Speed Of Trains.

There Is not one person in one hundred
of the millions who travel on railroads in
the course Of q year who has any idea Of
sths speed ola train. Alarge per cent Of
even the regular trainmsn Of the country
cannot tell with any degree Of accuracy
how fast Q train is running. Frequently
engineers are dispatched on a trip over q
line, Of railroad with instructions TO- run
at speed Of q certain number of miles
an honr. The engineers do not carry q
5speed indicator, but have learned by
various methods TO gauge their engines
10 as to make only the slightest variation
from their orders.
The majority Of engineers use their
driving wheel as gauge. They know
its circumference, and by counting its
revolutions within q certain time can tell
very accurately the speed at which they
are running. Another method is to time
the run between mile posts, and still
another;is to make calculations from the
number of telegraph poles passed in 3
certain time. These poles, in level
country and where four or FIVE wires are
used, are spaced so that they ethirty to
the mile. If only single wire is used
they are spaced from twenty-five to
70 twenty. eight to the mile.
The most accurate method, and the
one most in use by experienced railroad
men, is to count the number ofrail joints
the train passes over in twenty seconds.
The rails IN nearly all cases are thirty
feet in length, and the number passed
over in twenty seconds is the speed per
hour a train is running. For instance if
q passenger sitting in sleeping Car can
count thirty clicks of the wheels on
rail joint. in. twenty seconds the train is
rnuning at the speed Of thirty miles an
'hour.-Kansas Csty Times.
