One of the most familiar faces in
Cincinnati is "Greeny" Horn, who
formerly blacked boots in front of the
Grand Opera house. "Greeny" is a
bright boy and as he advanced in
years he secured employment to learn
the drug business and is now en-
ployed at Ben Isaacs' pharmacy, cor
ner of Longworth and Plum streets.
He Is only 10 years old, but his hair is
as gray as that of a man of 60. "Greeny"
tells with pride how his hair came to
turn gray. One night when Chester
park was in its glory a crowd of
sports gave a dance at the well known
road house. "Greeny" was broke and
he saw a chance TO make some money.
1t was midnight, and the street cars had
stopped running, SO he started on foot
for the dance. When he reached
Spring Grove cemetery the road was
as dark as could be. 'Greeny" knew
whore he was, and visions of ghosts
and other unearthly things passed
before him. Suddenly there was a
mysterious noise, and "Greeny" be-
came greatly frightened. He turned
and ran back toward the city. When he
reached home his hair had turned gray
in spots. II continued to change until
it is now almost white. Cincinnati

A Celebrated Preacher.

st. John Chrysostom Qhe golden
mouthed), of the most celebrated
of the Christian fathers, was born
about the year 347 in Antioch, his IA
Their being commander of the Imperial
army in Syria. He wa educated for
the bar, but became a convert to
Christianity, and the solitary n
of living being then in great estima-
ton and very prevalent in Syria, he
retired TO n mountain not far from An
tioch, where he lived some years In
solitude %practicing the usual austeri-
ties. Returning to Antioch In 3S1 he
was ordained TO the office of deacon,
and to that of presbyter in 1856. He
soon became one OF the most cele-
brated preachers of the age, his repu-
tation extending throughout the
Christian world, and on the death OF
Hectarius he was elected Bishop OF
Constantinople. He was jealous in
the reform of clerical abuses, and on
his visit to Asia Minor he deposed
thirteen bishops OF Lydia and Phry-
gia. His zeal exposed him TO the inn
perial displeasure and he was deposed
by a synod and banished to Caucasus
in the mountain range of Taurus. The
journey thither on foot produced q
fever, which caused his death at Co.
mona, in Pontus, on the 18th of Sep.
TENDER, 407, at the age so years. The
works of Chrysostom consist of zoo
homilies and 247 epistles, as well as
commentaries, orations and treatises
on points of doctrine. Philadelphia

A Man Trap I'm Frisco.

A three story building on Broad
way close to the water front, which
has been occupied by l. David as a
seaman's Quitting store, was recently
vacated. Workmen are now cleaning
and reftting the place, and they
have discovered a trap for decoy-
ing unwary seamen Behind the
front room are situated two
rooms adapted for the nefarious
traffic. On the side of one room a
door opens upon n long passage and
in the other room is n closet which,
froIl the exterior, resembles a cup
board. The floor of the closet is u
trap door, operated by a spring. Be
low the door is a cellar, which adjoins
the old water front line, affording am
ple facilities for taking men off in a
boat after they had been dropped
through the trap. The place Is in
every way well adapted for the pur-
pose of shanghaing men, as any one
dropped through the trap would have
no chance at all TO get away.-San

Blakely hall says that he once saw
David Belasco in the throes of com
position, and that sit was an odd sight
TO people who have preconceived no
tons concerning play writing Mr..
Belasco's hair was tousled over his
brow. He was gnawing his neither lip
with an air of intense absorption, his
cravat was loosened, his coat cast aside
and his legs were wound around his
chair with sinuosity. i had
run in on him and did not
know he was at work. A large table at
which he sat was Uttered with all sorts
of curious odds and ends. There was
a huge sheet of paper before him Gov
cred with cabalistic signs and marks,
and he held a blue pencil tightly
clenched in his right hand. Ink wells.
match stands, calendars, pens, books,
newspaper clippings and half a dozen
other small objects were arrayed on
opposing sides of the table. These,
Mr.. Be1asco explained, represented
characters in the play, and that he
was trying to group them so as to
make an effective tableau for the close
of the third act. The idea was subse-
quently utilized in The Wife.'"-Cur

He rather Stunned than courted the
society of his colleagues, and was CON
sequently no favorite with them. Con-
trary to the usual custom of actors
when off duty, he was never seen in
any theatre but his own; and even
there he seldom, If ever, appeared in
the green room. Once, on the stage,
however, the metamorphosis vas COM
plete; he was no longer the serious,
misanthropic recluse, but the joyous
interpreter Of the quips and eranks OF
his habitual puryeyors, Divert and
Lausanne, the effect of which on the
isible muscles of the audience was i-
resistible. He never, under any cir
cumstances, lost his presence of mind,
but had always his wits about him;
and / remember a case in point. One
evening at the Vaudeville the specta-
tors wero suddenly startled by a false
alarm Of fire, and a general confu-
sion prevailed. The occupants of the pit
and stalls with n accord made for
the doors, and in another minute the
theatre would have been entirel- de-
serted, when Arnal, who happened to
be on the stage, came forward and
coolly inquired what was the matter.

SHE FOUND HER son.
A Demented Woman Crosses the Sea and
Receivers Her Mental balance.

Reoovers Her Mental Balance.
A pathetic story with a highly inter
esting sequel comes from across the
water to people living in this town.
An aged mother. while suffering tenn
porary insanity, wandered from her
sons home In Dedham while laboring
under the impression that her sailor
boy was calling her. She boarded an
ocean steamer and landed in Liver
pool. The first person she met when
leaving the steamer was her boy, who
by a strange coincidence had landed
in that port that morning and was
watching the incoming passengers out
of idle curiosity. The poor mother
thought it was prearranged and the
Joy OF the reunion restored her reason
The story is one of the most ro-
mantle that has been told in many
years. Mrs. Sarah Smith Is the prin-
cipal actor in the scene. She Is 80
by her first husband, Arthur Jollif, in
Dedham. One day she suddenly re-
marked to her daughter-in-law:
why, there is George" meaning
her younger son, land must go TO
him. He is calling; / must go. Poor
George, 1 shall not desert you"
Her sister in-law, hearing her strange
EXPLANATIONS, stepped to the window
and, looking out upon the street, re-
marked: Why, mother, George is
not out there"
II know better" replied Mrs. Smith;
'he was calling to me to come to
him"
Mrs. Jollif said no more, thinking,
perhaps, George had passed the house,
and proceeded with her household
duties. While thus engaged, unob-
served by her, Mrs. Smith went out of
the house, undoubtedly in search of
her son, whom she supposed was wait
ing for her, and continued on up the
street, imagining that she would over
take him. She walked TO Boston, wa
found sick and exhausted in the street
and was cared for at the hospital with
her mind still clouded. She claimed
to have wandered from England and
begged TO be sent back to that coun
try. The English consul provided her
with a passage and she embarked on
n of the big ocean steamers for Liv-
erpool.-
A few days before Mrs. Smith took
passage for Liverpool her son George
had shipped on board a steamer which.
was blowing the sea in advance OF
the steamer which conveyed his
mother. George got into port at
early morning and with many others
stood on the wharf to see the Boston
passengers land. His eyes became
fixed on a frail figure of an elderly
woman making her way along the
wharf. The form looked familiar to
his eyes, and they were not deceived,
for, when she had come within en-
bracing distance, he had her in his
strong arms, shouting, "Motherl
Motherl" Recognition on the part of
the mother was Immediate, and in the
flood of tears that welled up in her
eyes the mental barriers were washed

A snee1e n, n Climax.

The theatre was comfortably filed.
The two leading players were in the
midst of a narrowing tale Of love.
Both had reached a depth Of suffering
tho woman clearly wronged, yet
loving and proud; the husband guilty,
but loving also, and pleading for for
giveness. The audience had become
so quiet that hardly a sound could be
the stiffness could almost be felt, q big
uttered as startling a noise as was prob
ably ever heard in that theatre. II
sounded, in quick time, like "Kitchy

up in G. md Jared the roof. The re-
Spouse that followed could not have
been more completely timed II
everybody had been connected by an
electric current. Every man, woman
and child simultaneously burst into a
laugh. Tho babies actually crowed.
II smashed tho tale Of love and the re-
Cancellation into flinders. Just as the
sneeze came hat actress was standing
facing the audience, her lace woebe-
gone and full of pain. Before she
could turn away her slim form was
quivering from laughter. She couldn't
utter a word. The husband chewed
his lower lip and tried to keep up a
show Of grief. In vain. He bent his
head in his hands and laughed with
everybody else. The fun didn't sub
side for at least five minutes. The
ushers looked about to see il the
sneezer was alive. He had vanished.

But our hearts are rich In love

An things that don't grow old.

An MHrthy shall have the credit
For the help she's been to me.

Monkeys Stealing Corn.

DIR. Hopkins does not seem ever to have
heard of the way in which monkeys prepare
to rob corn field Let us describe it.
When they get ready to start on their expe-
dition, an old monkey, the leader of the
tribe, with staff i'll his hand, so as to stand
upright more easily marches ahead on two
legs, thus being more elevated than the
others, so as TO see signs of danger more
readily. The rest fellow him on all fours.
The leader advances slowly and cautiously,
carefully reconnoiter ng in all directions, till
the party arrives 1T the corn field. He
then assigns the sent nels to their respective
posts All being now in readiness, the rest
OF the tribe ravage and eat to their hearts
content. When they retire, each one carries
two or three ears OF corn along, and from
this provision the sen tinels are regaled on ar
rival at their lair. Here we see ability to
rule and a willingness to submit to rule; a
thoughtful preparation of means to the end
in view, and a recognition of the rights
of the sentinels to be suitably rewarded
at the close of the expedition Wherein does
all this differ from similar foray of tribe
of savage meni The only difference that really
exists is in degree; otherwise, it is much the
same.-Popular Science Monthly

The lsart er's Spunye.

BARRIERS have entirely discarded the sponge
in all first class tonsorial establishments for
the moro cleanly and more pleasing towel,
and every customer is now treated to a sort
OF facial Turkish bath for the small sum of
fifteen cents The ilea of applying TO the
face a towel dipped in boiling hot water
originated in Boston and became immensely
popular at once. After removing the hirsute
growth the barber instead of mopping the
face with an i'll smelling sponge now dips a
fresh towel in hot water, wrings it thoroughly
and wraps it around he bleeding Jaw of the
victim The sensation that follows IS one of
unmixed misery, as il cauterizing iron had
been passed around the face, completely scar
ing 1t. The towel is hastily removed, again
plunged into the hot water basin, and once
more applied. This process is continued as
long as the patience of the helpless subject
lasts. When the last towel is removed and
the face is allowed to cool down from its
glowing and boiled lobster state a delicious
feeling of freshness follows, and the sharp
singing pain, due to the remorseless passage
of cold, sharp steel over the face has disap-
peared. This is the great advantage claimed
for the system, and ii really seems to possess
1t. The towel is altogether preferable any,
way, as the soap which soaks into a sponge
soon becomes malodorous, and the small hairs
which collect in it ras p the face like so many
pins.-St. Louis Republ

The Birth of Washington.

The birthday of Washington is registered
In an old family Bible of quarto FORM de-
lapidated by Use and age and covered with
Virginia striped cloth, the record being in
the handwriting Of the patriots father:
George William, son of Augustine Washington,
and Mary, his wife, was born ye eleventh ,lay of
February l73I-2, about ten in the morning and
was baptized the Sd April following, Mr. Bromley
Whiting and Captain Christopher Brooks god
fathers and Mrs Mildred Gregory godmother
The difference i'll the Gregorian calendar.
or new style of reckoning time, brings the
birthday to the 22d OF February instead of
the llth.
Almost every one is familiar with the home
OF Washington through the many engravings
which have been published, and which have
found their way to almost every fireside
Ihe mansion, very spacious ON the ground
noor, Is archltecturally quite pleasing II
stood upon smooth green, volyetv lawn,
spreading several hundred feet down to the
river, which washed its eastern base The
prospect 1t commanded was magnificent The
emlnence In the rear was crowned with a
stately forest The estate of :, 800 acres was
divided into many highly cultivated farms
Much of the region was still covered with the
forest which the ak OF the settler had never
disturbed. Game of every variety abounded
on the hills. Washington Inherited this
property from his brother Lawrence and the
original mansion house was built by hun but
when 1t carne into the possession of George
Washington he enlarged the mansion and i'm
proved the property in every way.
Washington wrote regarding its resources
saying:
mo estate in the United States is more
pleasantly situated In high and healthy
country, LII a latitude between the extremes
OF heat and cold, on one of the finest rivers in
the world a river well stocked with various
kinds OF fish at all seasons Of the year, and in
