Pioneer TelegrAnllY.

The talk Of a new telegraph line be-
tween New York and San Francisco has
aroused the od-tmers here to lively
"reminiscences Of the building of the first
line across the plains. One pole, 100
miles west of Laramie, was set up four
times, and each time hacked down by
Indian tomahawks. Each time there
was bloody skirmish with the redskins
for temporary possession of the stump.
At last the polo was given to a young
man who is now high up in the manage
ment Of the Western Union. He laid q
mine in the hole, set up a new pole,
tralled the fuse to an ambush Of rocks
close by and waited with two armed
friends. Then band of eight Sioux
came along and held war dance around
the pole. When the mine WAS fired, all
but three were killed, and those three
carried off Mimic balls WITH them The
powder blew up the pole again, but it
cleaned the hole out nicely for new
one, which was thereafter let alone.
This story was told with great eclat at
Delmonicos, and was the signal for
more bottles and more stories. 1t Is
curious what enthusiastic story tellers
arc to be found among New Workers
who have seen life in the Rockies. -

Cured hY Fenr.

The Volkszeitung of the city of Til
sit, Prussia, reports: A girl twenty-five
had been left blind and paraIyzed by a
fever. She had consulted a number of
physicians, and had been under treat
ment at the hospital of the University
at Koenigsberg. But it was all to no
avail. One day the poor patient was
sitting alone in her room, just above the
living-room of her parents, when an
unknown individual entered the room,
stepped up to her aud seized both her
hands. She was frightened, and
attempted to knock with her chair to
call for her family, when the intruder
made her feel broad knife, telling her
he would stab her if she made the
slightest noise. How long he held the
patient in that manner is not stated.
On leaving her he said he would leave
an explanatory paper in the loft
upon which her room opened. In
mediateIy after the girl heard a noise like
the cracking of burning wood, and
smelled smoke filling her room. She
gave the alarm and her parents ran up
stairs. They found small fire in the
loft just before the door Of their
daughters room. 1t was easily extin-
guished. When they entered the room
they found the girl in great fright, but
were most joyfully surprised when she
opened her eyes and could sec them.
She could also move her limbs a little,
and there is good hope now Of her en-
tire recovery. They found the paper
the strange visitor had said he would
leave, but there was nothing written on
it but few unintcligible words.

Weighing the Baby.

DR.. Chaille says in the New Orleans
Medical Journal: Since the first year Is
by far the most critical period of life,
and since weight gives the most reliable
evidence whether baby is thriving
or not, sanitarians now teach
that parents should, through
out the first year. weigh their
babies and record the result every week,
as is now habitually done in the best
hospitals and asylums for infants. Dur
ing the first three days of life there is
always a loss of weight which should be
fully regained by the seventh day by
which baby ought to weigh fully as
much as at birth During the next three
weeks there should be a gain of at least
from two to four ounces every week.
The greatest gain of weight throughout
life is during the first five months, the
maximum being usually attained during
the second month, that is, when a baby
is said to be one month GO to 90
days. old. The increase during this
maximum month should be from
four to seven ounces weekly, and during
the three succeeding months about FIVE
ounces weekly. During the remaining
seven months of the first year the gain
should be at least two to four ounces
weekly The gain is less than indi-
Gated at times when the infant may
suffer, whether from teething or other
cause. Finally the growth of the head
containing the brain, on which mans
superiority depends, deserves reference.
While from birth to full growth the
body elongatos three to four times, the
head only doubles its length. The
greatest growth is during the first two
years, and by the seventh year its
growth is so nearly completed that DR..
Hammond asserts that the hat which
fits a boy seven years old will fit him
when man.

A Chinese Farce.


The hero, sea captain, comes in and
seats himself at a table to write; but he
is heavy with sleep, his head soon
droops, and he falls into a peaceful
slumber. But scarcely has his nap he
gun when he is disturbed by the hasty
entrance of a breathless fellow, who be-
gins with an air of great consequence,
to pant out a long tale of not the
slightest Importance. The captain
listens for time with wide opened
eyes, but when he finds that the story
has settled down into an uninterrupted
sing-song which shows no prospect of
reaching an early conclusion, he tries to
break tho thread of the narrative. All
in vain, for the tedious fellow represses
his Interruptions with deprecatory
wave Of his hand, and goes on in his
monotonous way, with head thrown
back and eyes half closed, in an ecstacy
of delight at having secured listener.
After time the captain, submitting to
the inevitable, adopts the wisest course in
the circumstances, and dozes off to sleep
again. The bore is so satisfied with
himself and so engrossed in his tale
that he never notices this, and still goes
on, see-saw sing-song, with never
stop, till the audience, or at least half of
them, grows as weary as the captain.
But a mysterious avenger is at hand. A
limping ghost of horrible experience,
who remembers his own sufferings on
earth, happens in unseen to belriend
the captain. He squats silently behind
the char of the story teller, holding the
club he carries In readiness to strike,
while that worthy is still jabbering his
interminable nonsense. Once the club
is raised threatcningly over him, twice,
and yet he goes on; then laundering
stroke descends on his shoulders,
which stops his voice so suddenly that
it leaves him with an open mouth in the
middle Of a word. In comical terror he
gazes about in vain attempts to find out
whence the blow came, then, in amaze
ment, seizes the sleeper and afouse5 him
to tell of this terrible new affair. But
the captain listens with hazy inattention,
evidently thinking it some more of the
same tale, and dozes off again imme-
diately. The bore, abandoned now to
the tender mercics Of the spectre, runs
hither and thither IN horror, adopting
first one plan and then another, to dis
cover his invisible assailant but the
ghost crawls after him wherever he goes,
now clubbing, now clutching him, until
at last the poor wretch makes his es-
cape half dead with fright, and the
captain is left to sleep in peace, while
the ghost curls up by his side like
faithful dog whose labors are DONE

ROSE MARIE.

"Oh, if you want fine embroidery
done" said my friend, Mrs. Ross, 81 can
show you such work as isn't to be seen
out of Limoges, and the broderies there
are works of high art. Never saw any
thing in this country to compete with
them until happened, by the merest
chance, to stumble upon Rose Marie.
''Rose Marie?' repeated. "What a
pretty name! The owner of it ought to
be fresh, sweet and lovely as the eg-
lantine, kind of wild simplicity, you
know"
Mrs. Ross laughed.
'Fresh, no, she said. ''She is only
twenty-five, but she has had too much
trouble to retain much freshness; sweet
and lovely are hardly applicable to one
of the women of Aries, who look more
like stately Junos than peasants. Yes,
sheis simple enough, and beautiful too,
if you will, but she will never remind
you of the eglantine-poor Rose Marie
1t isn't often that her sad lips curve into
smile. will not tell you her story
until you have seen her; it will make
you more sympathetic. Come, and we
will go to her house."
We drove to Revere street. q narrow
thoroughfare, and stopped before a
small house set back in the yard. The
borders were gay with verbenas, pinks
and pansies, those old fashioned virtues
of patience and hardihood, giving their
! best color and perfume to the most I'M
congenial surroundings. Mrs. Ross
knocked at the white curtained door.
'Entrez," said a deep voice from
within.
The room we entered was sparsely
furnished, but everything in it was
shining with cleanliness. A tall, ema-
ciated old woman sat in an old arm
chair by the window, with piece of
work in her hands. She nodded to
Mrs. Ross, and looked inquiringly at
me with her hollow black eyes.
"She is paralyzed," Mrs. Ross said to
me in English. "All her lower limbs
are numb. All, Madame Breaux, . in
French, "this is my friend, Mrs. l.,
who has come to see Rose Marie about
some work"
''Take seats, mesdames," with a
courteous gesture. ''Rose Marie will be
in directly. She has gone out on some
business. She left Henri to take care
of me-" pointing with smile to beau
tiful little boy of four years old, who
was peeping at US from the back of her
chair.
Il would like my friend to see that
robe Rose Marie is embroidering for
Madame Ducros," said Mrs. Ross.
cit is there, in a napkin on the bed"
the old woman replied, Elf you will take
the trouble to get it, madame All, it
is so hard to be- half alive, not able to
move from my seat"
Mrs. Ross unfolded the shining folds,
and held them before me.
A pale maize colored silk, with ten
drills OF the blue and white convolvulus
embroidered exquisitely on it. The
grouping of the flowers was work of
art, and the finish was perfect.
The poor girl has cried her eyes
out" Mrs. Ross said to me in a low
voice; cat least, believe her tears
have as much to do with her failing
vision as the work. While we are wait
ing for her, viii tell you a story. The
old woman there does not understand
one word of English.
She married, Immediately after the
last war between France and Germany,
against her mothers wish. The old
woman was rabid French partisan,
and Rosa Marie's lover was a sergeant
