A man in Denver, Colo, named Lyon,
is said to rave n collection of over 700
pens, no two alike. Some are of steel,
some gold, some amalgam, and SO on.
There are pens pointed fine enough to
make ines Of microscopic delicacy, and
others intended for men who use the first
personal pronoun a great deal in their
correspondence. The collection en-
braces specimens from England, Ireland,
Scotland, Germany and other European
countries, besides America and Canada.
Some are in shape like shovels, others re-
semble a section of stove pipe, and others
are delicate and diminutive Scientific

= AND LOVE.

Sweetheart, If Peace and Love were one,
How golden bright, from sun to sun,
The summer hours would come and go,
So darkened now with fear and woe
II Peace and Love were one!
Ahl why, beneath the changing sky.
When Loves pursues, doth fair Peacs fly.
And at the portal of the heart
When young Love knocks, doth Peace depart
Beneath the changing ST. =? %
Yet II we 'twixt the twain must chClse,
II either Peace or Love must lose,
Shall we not cry, 'Come, Love, with PaiE,
Though never Peace return again ~
II 'twixt the twain we chooset
Alasi not till Life signs, "Adieur'
Not till the red rose bloom Is through,
Comes Peace to lie upon Loves breast,
With roses white to crown his rest
Not till Life signs, "Adieur'

A Name fur dealer says that it is aston
ishing the uses to which muskrats' fur
are put. The skins are taken at the city
establishments, clipped, colored and put
into such shape that they very closely re-
semble otter, and, if not sold for that
are at least represented to be much bet
ter than they really are. The fur Is
never sold for what it really is, but is
fixed up to look like something finer,
and charged for neutrality-suspicious.

A Eurred Tongue.

According to DR.. Howship Dickinson, a
furred tongue is not necessarily an alarm
ing symptom. To some persons it is
normal to have a clean tongue, and to
others equally normal to have a coated
tongue. so that it is impossible to fix any
degree or limit of coating as a necessary
accompaniment to perfect health. New

A Pittsburg man has invented a glass
conduit which he thinks solves the prob
lem of underground electric wires. Plates
of glass are grooved on the upper sur
face, and the wires are laid In the grooves
and cemented there with pitch. Then
other plates Of glass are laid over the
first, and wires put upon them in the
same way. When all the wires are laid
the whole is enclosed in a wooden box
and embedded in cement.-New York

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
diseases, believing that no condition of humane
ity is too wretched to merit the ympathy and
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician whob by close ap-
pIcatlon excels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
Is dawning, when the false p~hilanthrophy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law to die uncared
for, has passed away.

Pushingt the Paving.

The paving of First avenue was completed
last evening. This beautiful thoroughfare
through one of the ploasantest portions Of
the city now offers greater inducements to
parties out for pleasure driving than almost
any other part of the city. Adorned by ele-
CANT residences on either side, and Bayliss
park near the eastern end, there is nothing
lacking to make it as nearly perfect AS it is
possible for Il street so near the center of
the city to be. AS soon as the seasons paw
ing is completed, this street will form part
of a continuous block paved drive around the
city South Eighth street is already paved
to connect it with Broadway, and with the
proposed paving of North Eighth, Bluff and
Pierce streets, the long strip of paving on
Mynster street and Washington avenue will
be readily accessible and there will be no
connections wanting. The grading of those
streets above named has already been done,
and the plank for the foundation has been
taken to the ground. The paving force has
been transferred to Sixth and Seventh
streets, between First avenue and Broadway,
and these connections will be completed by
the end of the present week. The paving of
Eighth street south to Eighth avenue will
then be finished The grading of Willow av-
enue and Sixth street is being pushed as rap
idly as possible in order that the contractor
may get to work ON the brick paving that is
to be laid on those streets Contractor Wick.
ham also has about 900 feet of cypress paw
ing to put down in that vicinity. The next
street for work is Fifth avenue, which when
paved, will rank next to Broadway as
straight continuous drive.

The NIiscreant Captured.

Chief Lucas captured the fellow yesterday
morning, who invegled two little twelve
year old school girls into his room on North
Main street Tuesday morning. He was found
in bed and quickly transferred to the police
station, where he was identified by the girls
and the teacher at the Lindsay school build
ing. He was taken to the county jail for safe
keeping, and his case given to the grand
jury, which Immediately investigated it.
The fellows name is Thomas Barrett, and
he is a freauenter of the Broadway gamD-
ling no uses. The girls are daughters of en-
nently respectable parents, and their names
are Withheld as the families do not desire any
notoriety in the matter. The story told by
one of the girls is to the effect that she was
going home with some medicine for her sis.
ter when the villain met her on the Main
street bridge, and asked wnere she had
been. He was stranger, but she said she
had been to get some medicine for her sister,
when he sald that her sister was at his room
and wanted to see her, and and
asked his name, and he said
"Why, you know who am, am Tom"
They entered the room and he locked the
door. Her sister, of course, was nowhere to
be seen, aud he SAID that she must have gone
out, but would be back soon. The girl be-
came alarmed and began to run about the
room and cry, whereupon he unlocked the
door and allowed her to 20 out. He followed
the other girl into the water closet in the
rear of the school building. The charge
placed against him is assault with intent To
commit rape. He does not deny mis- guilt,
but says he must have been drunk at the
time, although others who saw him that
twenty-four years of age and has decidedly
unsavory reputation. Considerable feeling
is expressed against him and it is the general
impression that it will go hard with him.

levied on the property OF Cooke Il Morgan ut
their store at NO. 81 Bro ldway. The prop
erty levied on consisted of "a general line OF
dry goods valued at a, 100. The petition fur
ther recites that this property has never
been returned or in any way accounted for
to either members of the firm. The allega-
tion of the defendant that Cooke & Morgan
intended to defraud their creditors is denied
and the assertion made that the defendant
had no reasonable grounds for supposing
that Cooke Il Morgan were about to dispose
of their property with any such intention.
Cooke 81 Morgan, though closed on January
90, had to pay the rent on the building for
the remainder of the term of the
lease, the amount being $40.

Toothpick Chewing.

Boston Herald.
81 wish you would begin a crusade
against this toothpick chewing" said a
man the other evening in the corridor of
a fashionable Back bay hotel. at is
atrocious to see ladies (and 1 use the
word in the best SenSe), yes. ladies,
calmly using wooden toothpick i'm
public" "What is the use?'' l replied.
'''rhe toothpick business has made
"a. fortune for one Maine lum-
herman, and while tree grows lovely
woman will have it carved up into
picks for her ivOries." While we were
speaking several diners passed by, each
one plying the wooden toOthpick with
more or less conspicuOusness. "You
see," he said, ''they actually make no
bones about it! | would much rather
see those girls smoking cigarettes. 1t
wouldn't be half so vulgar" With
out going to the same length, l do
think there is no AmericaniSm or
American habit that could be better
spared from the category than this.
Men may and do commit a breach of
delicacy, but woman who wears the
graces and dresses of a lady may
not without being betrayed. A little
bit of wood can, and has often, disen-
chanted the faStldiOuS observer, but
when waiter at hotel or restaurant
actually hands glass of toothpicks
with the finger bowls, the bad practice
has crystalliZed into a custom which
ought to be attacked. But by whom and
where?
