A TWENTY YEARS, ExPER1ENoE.

C. D. Fredericks, the well known photo
grapher, no Broadway, N. Y, says:
II have been using ALLCoCK's PoRUs
PLAsTERs for 20 years and found them one
of the best of family incidents. Briefly
summing up my experience, I say that
when placed on the small of the back,
ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs fill the body with
nervous Mercy, and thus cure fatigue,
brain exhaustion, de- iity and kidney diff
culties. For women and children have
found them invaluable. They never irri-
tate the skin or cause the slightest pain,
but cure sore threat, coughts, co ds, pains
in side, back or chest, indigestion or 5owel
complaints"

They are not above playing tr;'ls and lay
ing snares for their teachers. On one occa-
sion a young rapscallion in North End
school remarked in a sanctimonious tone:
My father drinks"
The unwary teacher, falling into the trap,
began to talk to the class of the evils Of in
temperance, and of how much little Johnny
was to be pitied for having father who was
given to the dreadful habit OF intemperance
She waxed eloquent, and spoke at considera-
bic length, secretly feeling that she hadnever
done better, and that she must surely make
an impression upon her pupils.
And then when she had made an cad
of speaking, and all the class were supposed
to be in an eminently edited condition Of
mind, little Johnny finished his sentence with
an air so innocent as to deceive, il it were
possible, even the very elect.

And be smiled confdingly into the face of
his teacher, as If he were sure of her APP

a clear conscience; as indeed very likely he
did.
On another day when teacher was en-
deayoring to impress upon class of news
boys the beauty of Righteousness, and to give
them some sort of leaning toward the paths
of decency, sobriety and godliness, an impu-
dent, saucy faced youngster, known among
his companions as Bully SAM leaned for
ward and. holding out to her battered nickel
which had the general appearance OF having
been run over by a horse car, observed:

1t may be judged how much effect the les
son had after that.
Still again, q clever Boston girl had under
taken the task of instructing a pew full OF
newsboys, bootblacks and telegraph messen-
gers, and the lesson CHANGED to be upon the
raising Of Lazarus Taking into account tho
fact that the boys knew of the telegraph, and
finding that it was very hard to interest them,
she turned the talk TO electricity by asking if
there was any way ia whicss Che dead could
be raised to life, and going on to say that
there had been people who believed that it
could be done by electricity.
She found that she had at last-gained their
attention, and, dreading to lose it again, she
went on little with her talk about the force
and its manifestations. The boys listened in
tently, and presently one Of the dirtieSt and
most reprehensible Of the gang gave hitch
to his ragged trousers expressive of satisfac-
ton and interest.

slowly filled his pipe, hunted around for a

The Fat Man and the Sensible Horse.

There was an unfortunate charger
whose duty it was to carry an extremely
fat and heavy Indian General. Feeling
that this task was more than could be
reasonably required of him, the intelli-
gent animal invariably lay down and re-
fused to get up whenever the General
tried to mount him, and so far gained his
object that his owner sold him to young
officer who was going to distant station
up country. Two years aftcrward the
General went to inspect some frontier
cantonments, and as he travelled to his
destination in a palanquin, was obliged
to borrow a charger for the purpose of
the inspection. There was some difficult
ty in finding one up to his weight. At
length an officer resigned to him pow
erful horse for the occasion, which was
brought out, duly caparisoned, in front
of the line. The General came forth
from his tent and proceeded to mount,
but the instant the horse saw him ad-
vance he flung himself fat upon the sand,
and neither blows nor entreaties could in
ducc him to rise. It was the Generals
old charger, who from the moment Of
quitting his service had never once prac-
ticed the artifce until this second meet
ing. The General, who was an exceed
ingly good -humored man, joined heartily
in the universal shout that ran through
the whole line on witnessing this ludi-
crous affair.-'The Horse and HIS Rider. I"

The Worlds ZoolOgical Gardens.

There are in the United States six ZOO
logical gardens Philadelphia, New York,
Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and San
Francisco. The National Government has
nothing to do with any of these institu-
tions, which are maintained either by the
cities or by local enterprise. There IS
scarcely nation in Europe that has not
its 1900" and some of them have several.
In Great Britain, beside the famous insti-
tuition in London, there are parks of this
character in Bristol, Manchester and Dub
lin. France has two gardens in Paris,
each devoted in part to geological COL
lcctions, and also has parks in Marseilles
and Tours. Belgium has such gardens at
Client and Antwerp. In the Netherlands
there are "zoos" in Amsterdam, the
Hague and Rotterdam. The German
cities provided with such institutions are
Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfort, Dresden,
Dusseldorf, Hanover, Munster, Cologne,
Breslau and Leipsic. Italy has garden
at Turin, Austria one at Vienna, Hungary
one at Pesth, Russia one in St. Peters,
burg and one in Moscow, Portugal one IN
Lisbon, Spain one in Madrid, Denmark
one in Copenhagen, and Switzerland one
in Rasle. India boasts of three, at CAL
cutta, Bombay and Madras. Java has
such a garden in Batavia; The Straits
settlements have one in Singapore; Aus

A Romance of Wall Street.

Here's a little romance of the street:
Some years ago q well-known firm en-
gagged an Office boy of unusual brightness
and gentleness. For some years he
worked on, delivering stock, making
comparisons, etc., until, finally, he was
promoted to clerkship. His salary was
large enough to enable him to take flyer
now and then in the bucket-shop. One
afternoon one of the boys was told to 60
with a message to famous bull Office.
The boy not looking exactly well, the
clerk volunteered to deliver the message.
In the bull office he saw for the first time
one of the prettiest little typewriters in
existence, and lost his heart to her. His
tongue didn't tell her so, but his eyes had
Petrarch's sonnets in them. She read the
sonnets, liked them so we'll that she got
them by heart, and they became engaged.
Well, every time that bull firm bought a
thousand shares of stock, that young man
bought a hundred or two, and every
time that firm stood from under, that re-
markable young man got out, too. When
he owned about $780, 900 he married his
little mine, and now he is worth about
one million dollars, sends in his orders
from the finest house in New Jersey,
comes over about once week just to take
q look round, and he is the same quiet,
gentlemanly, serene trader that he was
when Petrarch's Incompatible sonnets
glowed in his eyes, until they were photo
graphed upon the tablets of the soul Of
the little typewriter.-Once Week.

japanese Kindness.

A picture of japanese life drawn by
Professor Morse shows such pleasant re-
lation existing between the human and
the brute creation that no Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Is
needed:
Birds build their nests in the city
houses, wild fowl, geese and ducks
alight in the public parks, wild deer trot
about the street. He had actually been
followed by wild deer in the streets, nib
bling melon rind out of his hand, as tame
as calves and lambs on our Michigan
farms. A dog goes to sleep in the busiest
streets; men turn aside SO as not to dis
turb him. One day a beautiful heron
alighted on the limb of tree, and the
busy, jostling throng stopped. Every
mans hand went into his pocket, just as
they would with us, but instead Of bring
ing out "popper," out came pencil and
sketching paper.

The Missing Coupon.

The Chemical Bank was the scene of q
unique little incident the other day,
when Mrs. Hctty Green, one of the
wealthiest women in America, dropped
into the establishment for the purpose of
clipping the coupons from million-dol-
lar batch of bonds. She was accom-
panied by her six-feet-four husband, and
after completing the work the couple
started for home. As they were about
closing the rcticule containing the clipped
coupons one of the little two-by-two-inch
papers was found to be missing. The
news was communicated to the President,
cashier and clerical staff. The detective
of the bank was just barring the doors
to prevent the escape of the bold coupon
thief when Mrs. Green came tripping
down the stairway wiping the tears: from
her eyes. The missing coupon had been
discovered sticking to the heel of Mr..
Green's boot, and its recovery again re-
stored her equilibrium and permitted the
bank to resume its normal condition.

Cold Baths Cure Typhoid Fever.

DR.. Simon Branch, attending physician
to the Manhattan General Hospital, pub
lished paper in the Medical Record on
the treatment of typhoid fever which adj
vocates the abandonment of the present
method of treatment, and the substitu-
tion of the cold bath treatment as sue
cessfuEy practiced in the German mill
tary hospitals. Without burdening the
reader with the methods of the cold water
system, which are the province of the
physician, it is worth while to note the
valuable results attained. Out of 10, OH
cases treated with ''all kinds of cold
baths" there was mortality of 7.9 per
cent. Out of 2S41 cases in which the
treatment was ''intermediate with water, :"
the mortality was 1872 per cent. Out of
2198 cases treated with ''strict cold
baths" the mortality was IL per cent,
and in the same cases 2150 patients who
were treated before the disease had pro-
grcssed five days all recovered.

sOFT-SHELLED EGGS.

The shells of eggs consist mainly of
lime, and the lime must come from food,
that is, from material eaten and digested.
Grain food alone does not and cannot
Furnish all the lime required for the shells

The Lord of the SciIly Islands.

II am monarch of all I survey" an
nounced Alexander Selkirk, on his Rob-

thority and power was greater and more
undisputed than that Of many of the Kings

we would not look for him on throne,
but may find him in person of the name
of Smith-Colonel Smith Dorrien Smith,
Lord Proprietor of the Scilly Islands, in
