Will you give him to me? I'd like to take him somewhere,n said the lin- net.
 So the beetle dropped Tommy, who was now quite sore, and the linnet lifted him in its beak.
 Dreams are very funny things.
 The linnet see med to be suddenly in the room of a house, and Tommy saw it was his own bedroom.
 What's the matter?' squeaked funny voice 1t was Tommy's white mouse speaking; for Tommy kept a white mouse.
 "Why,n said the linnet. and it seemed quite friendly with the white mouse, i've caught u boy. What shall do with hfm?"
 "A boy? Let me look," said the white mouse, and added fercely: Why, it's Tommyn
 "Yes, please, Mr. Mouse" said Tom my, tits me. You know me, don't youPn
 Tommy was afraid of the white mouse, it seemed so big.
 'know you?n screamed the mouse. i've good reason to know you! Yes! and now I'll make you know me.
 Please, Mr. Mouse" began Tom- my; but the white mouse interrupted him.
 "Know you? You're the boy that fastened me in cage without any food, and l was hungry. Worse, woraei l was thirsty, and all my water was dried up Ny cage has been left unclean for weeks. Know yoa2 Yes! and now you shall know me. 2"
 The white mouse rushed fercely at Tommy.
 But suddenly Tommy awole. and he was 1yingiu in bed and of his natural size.
 Dear me-" he murmured, what an awful dream Eve had. I declare IIlnever hurt any thing ever again. And when l get up I'll feed my white mouse. I forgot him yesterday"
 For Tommy had been so full of the treat the day before that the white mouse had been neglected. In fact, Tommy often neglected It.
 Then he dressed, and went to tho cage to attend to the little creature But the little mouse was dead.
 "Oh, dear. cried Tommy, 'I must have forgotten it for two days! I'll never be so cruel again to any thing.''
 And he kept his word.-F. II. Bol- ton, in English Band Of Mercy

The Physiological Ebb-Tidc.

A tramp knows what 1t is to be leg weary, farm laborer to be body weary, literary man to be brain weary. and sorrowing man to be soul-weary. The sick arc often weary of life itself. Weariness is generally a physiological "ebb-tide, - which time and patience will convert into a .how It is never well to whip or spur a worn-out horse, except in the direst straits. If he mends his pace in obedience to the stimulus every step is a drop drawn from his hfe-blood likeness is not one of the faults of the present age; weariness is one of the commonest experiences. The checks that many man draws on his phys iological resources are innumerable; and, as these resources are strictly limited. like any other ordinary bank ing account, it is very easy to bring about balance on the wrong side. Adequate rest is one kind of repay ment to the oank. sound sleep 1. another, regular eating and good digestion another One days holiday in the week and one or two months in the year for those who work eXcep- tionally hard usually bring the credit balance to highly favorable con dition; and thus with care and man. agement physiological solveney is se- cured and maintained.

POST-OFFlCE NAMES.
Odd Cosnomens Bestowed Upon Some
 Newly Created Offices.


 Newly Created Offices.
 Naming post-of1ice is like naming a ehild-there is no accounting for the taste dislayed in the name selected. Usually the post-oflice is named after the town, and when the town is started some cnterprising citizen gets in his deadly work and the town is named after him. Others take their names from surroundings and often from inei- dents which happened when the site was first selected. Some are good, others bad; some long and some short, but there seems to be general disr6- gard of tho proprieties in the selection of names. For instance, Happy Camp is the name of | neWlY-created post- office in California, and the probabili- ties are that the inhabitants are con stantly fighting, and the only person who is happy is the undertaken, who is growing wea thy. Mountain View is more likely to be the name of a village at the bottom of two-hun- dred-foot hill than to be near mount ain, while Marble Cliff is very remote from marble quarry.
 Passing events also helr decide the names of places, and with the Johns town horror fresh in tho public mind many smaller towns will select that name to emphasize the establishment of the place.
 Peace and Cain are two villa, ~es where post-offiees have been estaA. lished in Alabama, while Rat, Rye and Urbanity have been discontinued. Sassafras is the name of a spicy Arkansas village, while people who desire to go to new postal station in Alaska will have to have their letters addressed to Belkofsky. California has a choice collection of new names. Bitter Water, Calabasa. Orosi and Simioplis make q splendid quartette. Tourtelotte and Boyina are Colorado offices. Dakota, a5 becomes newly admitted State, is selecting names for it's new offices from among those who advocated it's admission, and l. getting rid of it's old Territorial names. reminiscent as they We're with the names bestowed by eow-punchers whose idea of the ridiculous was very keen.
 The warm climate of Georgia boasts Of an Arctic town, while Sinker#i is the name of a village in Idaho,
 The people of Illinois were so glad to get new postal facilities that they did not stop to complete the names and sent them out as Lis and Mac Nail and Cheek are two villages in the Indian Territory. Fritz, Snyder and McBrayer represent the ruling popu. lation in three Kentucky places. China is located in Michigan, and Minnesota boasts of it's short Line Park Mis- souri contains Last and Clio. Raten is in Nebraska. while Redstone takes it's name from tine granite hills of New Hampshire. New York is provided with Best, an Echo and Jayville. Stem and Wharf are the names of two post-offiees in North Carolina, and Scrub Ego and Twin have Ohio writ. ten after them on envelopes.
 Ale and Joy, while both are in Ore. gon, are not in the same county, and there is no connection between the two. Peach Tree, Early, Orphans Home and Venus are in Texas. Exit and Joe are in the neighboring State of Virginia, and Washington has a newly-created small post-office called Nickel, while Fossil and Shell com plete the list for Wyoming W ashing- ton Post.

'In tasting Of the various brands I place only a drop on the most sensi- tive part of the tongue. I try to keep it away from lips, mouth and teeth, but do not always succeed Now, to discriminate between twenty-five sam pies must keep clear head, concen- :rate my attention, and make, as it were, an instantaneous analysis. To do this faithfully requires brain work that book writers know nothing about. In fact day at honest, painstaking molasses tasting is day of hard, almost said, solitary labor. '-Boston Globe

SOMETHING ABOUT GUNS.
One That Gan shoot Thousand Miles a,
 Easily as One.

Once there was q man. He had coarse, long black hair and high check bones; and his skin was the color of copper. He and his family lived in the woods and ate wild game To get the game he had a gun It was made of | string and Two sticks.
 He could shoot many yards with it. Many q rabbit, turkey and deer he brought homefor dinner by the aid=of his bow and arrow. His gun was his capital. tKnow what that means?)
 Well, the years went by, and there came another man into that neighbor- hood. His face was white, his hair auburn and waving For time these men lived in peace But the white man loved to shoot the wild game, too. He had gun made Of iron, and he could shoot further than the other man, and kill moro wild animals. Can you guess how trouble came? They began to shoot at each other. Hum" would go the arrow through the air from the Indians bow and just graze the white mans ear; then at last flash and bang from the iron gun and "whiza goes the bull let right into the Indians head. Poor Indian falls like=th rabbits he once hit. and his wife is now a widow. What will she and the children do for bread and meat?
 After this came another white man. His gun was better still. St 'ange to say, these two white mon made war with each other Flash went the pow der, and away flew the bullets and down went the first man, dead. Their chil- dren have ever since been trying to make bigger and better guns, almost entirely to see which can hurt the other most, I'm sorry to tell.
 A while ago some of those grown-up children went down to a place called Sandy Hook not far from Now York, to see a big gun.
 Ii is the largest ever made in the United States. The Indians bow and arrow would be small and light as a feather by the side of this awful thing. It is all cast-iron, thirty feet long; it's mouth or bore is twelve inches in diam etor; It's weight fifty-four tons; its cost twcnty-nine thousand dollars; 1t throws an cight-hundred-poun ball SO far and tiercely as to knock hole in an iron armament (what's that?) a half-mile away. It costs over one hundred dol lars every time it is fired. It took year to make it. May it never be aimed at your rabbit, or your head, or the great ship on which you may be riding to London. or the city in which you live
 There's a greater gun than the h. dian s or those two white mems or this last monster.
 It is made-not of two sticks and a string or iron-but of flesh and blood and something else. It's mouth is the same size as yours. 1t can shoot a thousand miles as easily as one and l hit thousand marks at the same mo- ment as easily as one. It's arrows arc words, words! The smallest of these word bullets can make the world bleed, or heal the worlds wounds.
 You are the gun, and you take aim and fire as many as a thousand times daily, and hearts bleed or eyes dance with delight every time of the Flash, whiz, bang!o
 Look out, my lad and girl, with what you load and how and why you aim and fire. Uncle Charles. in Pansy.

A HORRIBLE MIsHAP.

a Building collapses and Burios Work
mon Alive.
TACOMA, W. T., May l4.-Shortly before
six o'clock last night between fifteen and
twenty men were at work in new build
ing being erected for n hotel by Walter
Bates, who was acting as his own foreman.
Suddenly a tremendous storm came up
from the Southwest. which struck the
building with full force. The structure
tottered for a moment, and then collapsed,
burying the workmen in ruins. Hundreds
Of citizens and laborers just returning from
their labor were soon at work ondeavoring
20 rescue the imprisoned men. In few
minutes sufficient debris had been re-
moved 10 get at some OF tho men, and the
body OF Walter Bates was first taken out
This was followed by two injured workmcn,
and then workman named Mcconnell,
who was dead. w. II. Smell who one week
ago today waselecled city attorney, and who
was n son-in-law OF Bates, was soon after
taken out seriously injured. Then ut in
teryals OF fifteen or twenty minutes three
other dead bodies were recovered, but
these have not yet been identified. The
work OF removing the debris is still going
on, and sliilcd means are heard under
meath, Besides the workmen who were
injured, the Rev. w. A. Mackey, pastor
Of the Presbyterian Church, who stopped
20 seek shelter from the rain, was severely
injured. The building was frame struct-
ure, three stories high on Tacoma avenue
and four stories on the alley below. Tho
storm had free scope and coming across
from the Upper Sound had nothing to IN
tercept It's progress until u struck TINS
building at the top OF the hill.

"A THRILLING ENCOUNTER.
PARTICULARS OF TIE ATTACK ON
PAYMAsTER wHAM,
BY Which Band of Ambushed Robbers
Secured $4,000 of Government
Money-A Brave Fight Made by the
Victims.

Tucson. Ariz., May IA Fort Thomas
special gives particulars oil the recent
fight between robbers and United States
Paymaster Wham's party, near Cedar
Springs. in which the robbers succeeded
in CARRYING away $40, 0C0. The road where
the attack was made winds down long
hill, near the top Of which it runs be-
tween high wall on the east and low
ledge OF rock on the west. A large rock
was discovered in the road, and the party
stopped to remove it. A volley OF shots
was thereupon fred from the brow OF the
hill, which rose to the hight OF fifty feet
almost perpendlcularly. None of the rob-
bers could be seen from below. The pay
masters party, which consisted Of Maj. ].
w. Wham, Clerk w. X. Gibbon, two non
commissioned officers, nine privates and
two drivers, Immediately returned the
fire, which became general. The robbers
had placed men further up the hill to the
right of the party, and also sent men along
the hill to get in cross-fire from
the left. 1t is known that at least one man

either killed or wounded. Thepaymasters
party made break for the ravine below the
ledge, which for three hundred yards is
without shelter, and five were wounded in
crossing 1t. The others OF the party re-
treated further around the point OF the
, hill. Paymaster Wham from behind the
ledge, thinking the crossfre had been
silenced, made heroic effort to rally his
men, but they were compelled to seek
other shelter, being exposed to terrible
FIRE. The paymaster, his clerk and the
corporal were the only men who reached
the last shelter unwounded. While part
OF the robbers kept up the fire from the
hill, il was very easy matter for the
others to 20 down and secure the booty,
which was in strong iron box on the boot
OF the ambulance. II was opened with an
axe and the $50, 900 carried away, together
with valise, which they soon cut open
and abandoned.
One robber was seen TO be taken away
on pack mule and tracks OF blood showed
them to have suffered badly. At no time
was all OF the band seen. Six OF the
wounded in the paymaster's party were
convened in an ambulance 10 hospital
here and q surgeon and wagons sent fol-
the Others. Eight men out OF eleven were
wounded. One Of the wounded soldiers
has died and three others are in a critical
condition. Soldiers and Indians are oul
searching for the robbers, and troops in
New Mexico are fastening TO intercept
them il they enter that Territory. II II
believed, however, that they will make
the endeavor TO escape into Sonora, Mexi
co. Gov. Wolney las offered reward o
$500 each for the arrest and conviction ol
the robbers.
