Tho Ten mile CIiampIousniB Run.

New YoRK, November 27.--The thrice
postponed ten mile run for the champion
ship of America, under the rules of the Ma
tiOnal Amateur Athletic association, came
off at the Manhattan Athletic club grounds.
w. G. Young, Spartan HaFriers, England,
was a good winner but he did not break
the record. The starters were: w. G.
Young, S. j. Truth, Prospect Harriers; j.
II. L. McGregor, Brighton Athletic club;
William MCCARTHY, Manhattan Athletic
club.
At the end of the fifth mile it was definite
American record. He was urged to do his
best, however, to break the old One-hour re-
cord of ten miles and 200 yards made by
Robinson of Brooklyn. By splendid run
ming he succeeded in doing so, covering the
ten miles and 500 yards In one hour, which
Will hereafter be the record.

MORSE'S DRAWING.



of the Telegraph.
When Samuel F. b. Morse, after
wards famous as the inventor of the
electric telegraph, was young painter
studying in London, he made a drawing
from a small cast of the Farnese Her
cules, intending to offer it to Benjamin
West as an example of his work. Being
very anxious for the favorable opinion
Of the master, he spent a fortnight upon
the drawing, and thought he had made
it perfect When Mr.. West saw the
drawing he examined it critically, COM
mended it in this and that particular,
and then handed it back, saying:
VERY well, sir, very well; go on and
finish it,"
But it is finished" answered the
young artist
80, no." said Mr.. West; "lool1 here,
and here, and here" and he put his
finger upon various unfinished places.
Mr.. Morse saw the defects, now that
they were pointed out to him, and de-
voted another week to remedying them.
Then he carried the drawing again to
the master. Mr.. West was evidently
very much pleased, and lavished
praises upon the work; but at the end
he handed it back, and said, as before:
VERY well, indeed, sir; go on, and
finish it."
'Is it not finished ?" asked Mr. Morse,
by this time almost discouraged.
Not yet; see, you have not marked
that muscle, nor the articulations of
the finger joints"
The student once more took the
drawing home, and spent several days
in retouching it. He would have it
done this time. But the critic was not
satisfied. The work was good, Every
GOOD indeed remarkably clever" but
still it needed to be finished.
II can not finish it, said Morse, in
despair.
WELL" answered Mr.. West, II have
tried you long enough. You have
learned more by this drawing than you
would have accomplished in double the
time by dozen half-tinished drawings.
1t is not numerous drawings, but the
character of one, that makes thorough
draughtsman. Finish one picture, sir,
and you are painter"
1t was a good lesson. One principal
part of teachers business is to keep
his pupil from being too easily salts
fed. Youth's ConlPGnioM

ADVICE FOR LOVERS.
How They Can Make Their Best Girls
Tired of Sweets.

Tired of Sweets.
In a confectionery establishment
where half dozen pretty young women
are employed behind the counters l
noticed one Of the latter cram half a
dozen caramels into her mouth at once
and appear to enjoy them hugely. She
stood in full view of the proprietor as
she did so and l expected to see him
administer reproof. Instead of doing
so he only looked at me and knowingly
closed his left eye. II should think
terrible inroads must be made in your
stock if all your young women have ap-
petites like that, observed |. "Not a
bit Of it, " he responded, "when young
woman is engaged to sell candy for
this house she receives permission to
eat just as much as she likes; with the
strict understanding, however, that she
is not to carry any out of the store.
She avails herself of the permission
readily enough, but she doesn't devour
half so much the second day as she
does the first; on the third she gets
away with even less and at the end of
a week she wouldn't give you ten cents
for the contents of the whole shop, so
far as her own appetite is concerned.
The girl who bolted these caramels
just now thinks she's the luckiest girl
alive. In week she won't care
whether all the candy shops in the
country keep school or not, so long as
her own employment is secure. My
advice to a youth with a candy-devour-
ing girl is for him to feed her steadily
with it for week At the end of
week he can devote his Salary to other
uses. y Chicago Journal.

THE STREET-CAR MULE.


Il
Its Habits.
The well-informed street-car mule
knows when it is time for him to 90 out
on trip, and sometimes he will assist
the stable boy by going out before he has
been properly harnessed, and this al.
ways creates bad feeling between the
boy and the mule. The latter gets
the worst of it as far as blows are con-
cerned, but he manages to make it in
teresting for the boy who tries to catch
him. Such little episodes as these show
very plainly that there is well-de-
veloped stratum of humor running
through the mule and gives strong evil
dence Of his desire to mix a little play
with his daily measure of fodder and
work.
Few people, even those who regu-
larly patronize the street cars, give
thought to the eccentricities and intel
ligence of d well-trained mule. Few
people are aware that the mule knows
all about his work, and, above all other
things, when it is time for him to quit.
He does not learn this by looking at
the town clock but he evidently keeps
q close count of the number of trips
made each day, and when this number
has been covered, if, by reason of an
extra demand for cars, he is harnessed
up for an extra trip, it usually requires
two men, three boys and base ball
club to start him from the stable.
The street-car mule knows every
street on his route, and the more
highly educated they become the.
greater assistance they are to the
driver. Notice one of the old trained
veterans in the mule army of the
street car service as he approaches
street corner, and observe how he
slows up. The three-minute pace, with
which everybody who rides on a street
car is familiar, is toned down to jog
trot, and if he sees a probable passen-
ger approaching the car he comes down
into a walk and stops at exactly the
right time, and with no suggestion
from the driver, and the brake is not
needed. Any old street-car driver will

well-trained mules they watch the
street on both sides of the track as
closely as he does himself, and they al
ways know when to ssop.
Old drivers will tell you how the
mules, when well trained, will slow up
when they hear passenger ask for
change, and particularly if it is lady.
They also listen for the click of the
nickel as it drops in the fare box, and
some drivers assert that the mules al
ways know how many passengers are
on the car, though this is not well
verified.
There are exceptions in mules as
well as in drivers, and no set rule can
be laid down for the guidance Of an
observing public who may perhaps de-
sire to study the peculiarities of this
public servant.-AHanta Constitution.

MEN AND MARRIAGE.

Apparently 1t Is Never Too Late to Be-
come IA Happy Husband.
''When is Il man too old to marry?"
is quite as interesting as the question,
"When is girl too yOung?" | must
leave to psychologists to discuss how
far the chances Of life are shortened
when December WEEDS May, and eX-
poets in May any thing more than a
nurse, though, in passing, | may OBJ
serve that | have noticed several such
marriages in which the funeral fol-
lowed suspiciously close to the we'd
ding. Without going back to the time
when Jared lived a hundred and
sixty and two years and begat Enoch,
there are several instances on record
OF modern patriarchs who became
proud and happy fathers at the time
when they should be thinking of shut
fling off this mortal coil.
There was that stout Salopian, Old
Parr, for example, who married at
eighty, and had to do penance in
Alderbury Church for an intrigue with
Catherine Milton, when he was a
sprightly masher of one hundred and
five summers. If Lord Lyttleton is to
be believed Parr had a rival in the
Vale OF Festiniog, in the person OF an
old Welsh farmer, who, when he died,
had eight hundred lineal descendants,
and whose youngest son was eighty-one
|, hi al
this man must have been of the same
family as a certain Alderman Hookes,
of Conway, who, is described in his
epitaph as the forty-first child Of his
father, and himself the father OF
twenty-seven children. Happily for
themselves, these people lived long be-
fore the days of DR.. Drysdale.
My own impression is that the Welsh
border is the paradise of old men, the
grand old man being only the most
conspicuous among many. Some years
back spent a Sunday in the very next
parish to Hawarden. | dined with a
middle-aged man whose sons were fast
growing to manhood, and then walked
over to his fathers house to take tea.
The venerable old gentleman, who
wore a headgear something like Oliver
Goldsmith S, was nursing an infant two
or three years old on his knee. "Is
that YOUR Youngest" | asked of my
middle-aged friend. 90, dear no. he
replied; THAT is my little brother. y

THE HOME-BCUND HOST.

The sound OF host advancing,
Tramp. tramp! tramp!
Under the windy flicker
And fare of the evening lamp,
Under the steady Wilderness
OF the clear electric light,
The sound Of an army marching
Is in the streets tonight.
Not to the clamor of buglas,
Nor the stormy beat of drums,
Not to the battles tocsin,
The iuDiant army comes.
A sweeter music summons
And thrills along the line,
Though each for himself may hear it,
And make to the next no sign.
The patter Of tiny footballs
That run to an open door,
The mothers tender singing,
Her step on the nursery floor,
The boyish shout of welcome,
The girlish ripple of glee,
AT the click in the guarded portal
OF the home-bound fathers key.
This is the army's music:
Cheerily calls goodnight
The merry voice OF the comrade
AS he passes out of sight
Into the heart Of the household
When the days long work is done,
And wife and BARNS are waiting
With kiss for their dearest one.
Uuder the WINDY flicker
And flare of the evening lamp,
hear host advancing
With steady and resolute tramp
A host of the strong and gentle,
a throrg of the brave and true,
Dear little wives and mothers,
fastening home to you!

MAYvILLE, N. Y, Dec. o 1885,
am glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs.
that am able to endorse all the good things
that have ever been said about them, and
supplement these by saying that frankly
believe their value can not be estimated.
Their breadth of usefulness is unlimited,
and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex-
ternal or INTERNAL equals them in certainty
and rapidly Ihave used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same
result--a speedy cure.
