At Westminster Police Court, two boys
Of thirteen, named Frost and Oakes, liv-
ing with their parents, were charged with
begging The boys alleged that woman
trained them and other lads as beggars,
and that she used to mind their decent
clothes and supply them with rags to go
out in. Her own boy, it was said, was
the head of the gang of juvenile beggars,
and used to take the money, which partly
went to his mother, and part in refresh
ments and visits to transporting music
halls. Mrs Frost said that she had been
to this woman and warned her that if she
heard that her boys clothes were kept
again she would lock her up for unlawful
possession. This was the advice OF the
School Board officer. The defendants
adhered to their statements about being
supplied with rags, etc, and the magis-
trate said that if it was true the woman
really ought to be prosecuted. A police
constable said he had seen the woman
and she denied taking care of the boys
clothes. Only the evidence of the boys
could be obtained Pal MaH Gazettc.

Finish 1t.

When Samuel F. B. Morse, afterward
famous as the inventor of the electric tele-
graph, was u young painter studying in
London, he made drawing from small
cast of the Farnese Hercules, intending
to offer it to Benjamin West an an exam
pie of his work.
Being anxious for the favorable opin-
ion of his master, he spent fortnight
upon the drawing, and thought he had
made it perfect.
When Mr.. West saw the drawing, he
examined it critically, commended it in
this and that particular, then handed it
back, saying: every well, sir, very well.
Go on and finish it"
'But it is finished" said the young ar
tist.
"Oh, no." said Mr.. West; "look
here, and here, and here" And he put
his finger upon various unfinished places.
Mr.. Morse saw the defects, now that
they were pointed out to him, and de-
voted another week to remedying them.
Then he carried the drawing again to the
master. Mr.. West was evidently much
pleased, and lavished praises upon the
work but at the end he handed it back,
and said as before: "Very well indeed,
sir. Go on and finish it"
SIS if not finishedl" asked Mr.. Morse,
| by this time all but discouraged.
''Not yet; you have not marked tha
muscle, nor the articulations of the fin
ger joints"
The student once more took the draw
ing home, and spent several days in re-
touching it. He would have it don,
this time.
But the critic was not yet satisfied
The work was good, "very good indeed
remarkably clever" but it needed to b,
FINISHED.
II cannot finish it, " said Mr.. Morse
in despair.
''Wel, " answered Mr.. West, 81 hav
tried you long enough. You hav
learned more by this drawing than 70,
would have accomplished in double tn
time by a dozen half-fnished drawings.

PETERS QUESTIONS.

When Peter was a sturdy lad
He moved from Grassvale with his dad,
And left behind him Joe and John,
And little Jake and jefferson;
Four chums of his by day and night
With whom he used TO play and fight;
Now where is Joe, and where is John
And where is Jake and jefferson?
Ten years passed by and Pete came back
With these four questions in his pack:
"Now where is Joe, and where is John,
And where is Jake and Jefferson|
'Joe digs his livin' with his pick
An John keeps store down TO the 'Crick,'
Jake is away to school think;
An jefferson has took TO drink.n
And Pete came back i'm ten years more
With the same questions as before:
"Now where is Joe and where is John,
And where is Jake and Jeffersonyn
"Joe caught cold ditchin' in the rain,
An - we shan't see poor Joe again;
John has got rich an Jake got wise;
JEFF is a scamp who all despise."
In ten years Peter comes once more
And asking questions as before:
"Now tell me where is old friend John,
And where is Jake and Jeffersonln
"Why, John he died a millionaire
Jaies gone to Congress, declare.
An JEFF, the poor old worthless scamp,
Is nothin' but common tramp"
And once more ten years later on
He asks: "Where's Jake and JeffersonT'
'Hain't heard how Governor Jacob died?
He was the States especial pride,
An to his solemn funeral grand
The great men came from all the land;
But Jeff-it's no good to bewail-
Why poor old JEFF has gone to jail"
And once more ten years later on.
Does Peter ask for jefferson:
"Why, hain't you heard the story yitS
The papers they was full of it.
1t filed the land from side TO side,
The way the poor old fellow died
The JEFF who played with you when young
The worthless, gray-haired JEFF was hung.
Ten years are gone with days that were,
| Gone questioner and answerer,
And with his questions comes no more
The gray haired Peter as before;
And people ask for him no more,
And no one asks his questions four:
"Now where is Joe, and where is John
And where is Jake and Jeffersonr'

MOTHS IN CLOTHING.

More than $50 years ago Reaumur, OBJ
serving that clothing moths never at
tackled the wool and hair of living ami
mails, inferred that the natural odor of
the wool or of the oily matter in it was
distasteful to them, consequently he
rubbed various garments with the wool
of fresh pelts, and also wet other gar
ments with the water in which wool had
been washed, and found that they were
never attacked by moths. Experiments
with tobacco smoke and the odors Of
splits of turpentine showed that both
were equally destructive, but it was nee
essary to close the rooms very tightly and
keep the fumes very dense in them for
twentv-four hours to obtain satisfactory
results. Chests of cedar or sprigs of
this tree are so disagreeable to them that
they will not deposit their eggs where
this odor is at all strong; but should the
eggs be laid before the garments arc
packed away the odor will not prevent
the Matching of the eggs nor the destruc-
tive work of the larvae afterward.
Clothing may also be protected from
moths by packing it in stout cotton ol
paper bags made perfectly tight, but thi:
must be done before the moths appear OF
the wing.

A Predatory Dog Outwitted.

The other day spaniel that had bad
habit of stealing poultry, was seen ap-
preaching the house at a moderate trot
with a large rooster in his mouth. The
fowl seemed TO be defunct, and so the
spaniel evidently thought, for being
somewhat wearicd by his excursion, and
the weather being warm, he laid down
his prey for moment in order to rest.
But the rooster was alive and in full
possession of all his faculties, for NJ
sooner did he feel himself released from
the jaws Of the fell beast that had cap
ured him than he fluttered his wings and
struggled up among the branches of a
convenient tree. The dog was so as-
founded at this miracle, as 1t must have
seemed to him, that he lost his presence
Of mind for "a second or two, and in
that interval his booty escaped.-BostoR

The Clay Pipe Industry.

The clay pipe industry is remarkable
from more than one point of view. This
manufacture is essentially French, and
its importance is daily increasing, de-
spite the formidable competition Of
wooden pipes and of cigarettes. A pipe
manufactory occupies an area of about
100, 600 square feet, and gives employ
ment to from 500 TO 500 persons ex-
elusive of children less than twelve years
of age. The annual product is l2O, 600
gross. The number of styles is infinite
and is daily increasing, as the dealers are
continually asking for new models,

now TO SWEEP.

Some persons advise scattering small
bits Of wet paper over the carpet, to take
up the dust when sweeping. This may
answer well where broom is used, but if
you use a carpet sweeper, you will find
that the paper does not always come off
the carpet readily. 1t hugs down 50
closely that the sweeper slides over it
without being able to take hold of it.
We have found nothing so satisfactory
as bran and salt well-moistened but not
wet. The bran takes up the dust, and
the salt seems to freshen up the colors in
the carpet. The sweeper win take up
every particle of dust without any
trouble.-Americon AgrlcUltUrisi.

Plenty of men are eager to volunteer
their services for exploration enterprises,
observes the New York Sun, no mat
ter how hazardous the undertaking.
When Nansen announced his plan for
crossing Greenland most people said he
was either mad or tired Of life, but about
fifty men were anxious to share the perils
of the trip with him. Before De Long
sailed to his fate on the Jeanette several
hundred men and one woman expressed
their wish to go along with him to the
North Pole. Stanley was simply over
whelmed with the applications of adven-
turesome fellows who wished to take part
In his last expedition, and he was com
PEELED to disappoint about 1000 of them.
Exploring is a business to which many feel
called. but few, after all, are chosen.
