''Why, it means" said Rollo's Uncle George,
shat the Sioux couldn't stand 'em any
longer, and run 'em off to the mountains to
starve And theresa new band practicing
about two blocks down this street ought to
be served in the same way, and if we had half
the good taste and nerve the Sioux nation
has we'd soon run 'em out. I'm In for it. "
But" said Rollo, ''the paper says they were
followed a short distance, but disappeared in
the direction of the Buttes." ''Wen," said
his Uncle George, that's 1.-THE boots

.Iugs Of Money.

az once saw q novel method for collecting
money" says a musician in The Cincinnati
Times-Star. sit was at Lars Station, out on
the Kentucky Central, forty or fifty miles
from this city.
st had been decided by the good Presby-
terians of that vicinity that an organ was es-
sential for the complete enjoyment of their
church services But the leaders Of the church
hesitated about purchasing one. They knew
that their list of members was not an ex-
traordinarily large one, nor was the congre-
cation noted for any remarkable hberality,
especially when their pockets were touched
for church money.
"At last, after various eXpedientS for
raising the organ money had beer, suggested
and rejected, bright idea struck visitor
who lives over the line in Bourbon county.
He suggested that they purchase 100 little
stone jugs with mouth just large enough to
receive a quarter or lesser coin and to put
these novels little banks in the hands of 100
girls, little and big. The girl who should
collect the most money was to receive a fine
prize.
'Well, sir, the natives went wild over it
Nickels, dimes and quarters showered down
the hungry mouths Of the little jugs and re-
manned there, for they could not have been
taken out if the collectors had so desired
without breaking the receptacle in which
they were put At certain date the men,
bers all collected at the church. There were
exercises of various kinds, concluding with
the breaking of the jugs. 1t was then found
that nearly $500 had been collected by the
girls
''The organ was purchased and the church
had money to spare"

The Future of Iron.

This product, which from the immense ex-
tent of its uses and its applications to the
true necessities of mankind would seem prop
erly stable In its very nature, has during the
last two decades suffered much from violent
fluctuations At present the iron trade is re-
ported to be in rather q depressed condition,
which would be worse except for a combina-
ton among the manufacturers which keeps
the production down sufficiently to maintain
prices on a paying basis. All over the coun-
try mills are starting into action and shutting
down, a species Of restlessness characterizing
the outlook. But an increased market is
looked for during the next three months, and
after the lessons of the past an improvement
that lasts even for that length Of time viii
not be without good effects The govern
ment by its recent operations in ship and
ordnance construction has done something to
help matters, and probably the same assist
ance VIII be rendered during the next four
years.-Scientifc American.

The Laws Nhimsicalities,

1t is curious to note the variances of the
laws governing the transfers Of realty in
different states. In 1853 parties living in ST.
Louis purchased Of firm doing business in
Quincy, Ills, certain lots in Pages second
addition to the city of st. Louis. Each CT
the Quincy grantors was married, and the
wife of each duly joined in the conveyance,
the acknowledgment setting forth that the
wife freely and voluntarily, and without
compulsion," relfnquisked her dover and did
not wish to retract such REIMBURSEMENT. The
purchaser, after paying taxes FOR thirty
years, now finds that he cannot make deed,
the examiner of titles refusing to pass the
deed for record and holding that the acknowl-
edgnent of the wife of eech grantor should
have been in accordance with the Missouri
form, or, in other words, that the acknowl-
edgment should have set forth that it was
made without undue influence" instead Of
without compulsi0n." 4 suit is now pend
ing for decision of tpe point involyed.-St

This descends when snow is loose and has
recently fallen. It is attended with whirl-
wind, which lifts the snow from whole
mountain side and drives It onward through
the air. 1t advances in Straight line, over
whelming every obstacle, moving forests
down like sedge, leaping las an old peasant
once expressed it in my hearing) from hin to
hill, buTying men, beaeA and dwellings, and
settling down at last into formidable, COM
pact mass without color and without outline.
The snow which forms these Staub Lawinsn
is dry and finely powdered. When it comes
to rest upon the earth it Immediately hardens
into something very like the consistency Of
ice, wrapping the objects which have been
borne onward by its blast tightly round in a
firm, implacable clasp. A man or horse seized
BY a Staub Lawine, if the breath has not
been blown out of his body in the air, has it
squeezed out by the even, clinging pressure Of
consolidating particles.
A human victim of the dreadful thing,
who was so lucky as TO be saved from its
clutch, once described to me the sensation he
experienced. He was caught at the edge Of
the avalanche just when it was settling down
to rest, carried OFF his feet and rendered help
less by the swathing snow, which tied his
legs, pinned his arms to his ribs and craWled
upward 70 his throat. There it stopped His
head emerged and he could breathe; but as
the mass set he felt the impossibility of ex-
panding his lungs, and knew that he must
die Of suffocation. At the point Of losing
consciousness he became aware of comrades
running to his rescue. They hacked the snow
away around his thorax, and then rushed on
to dig for another man VINO had been buried
in the same disaster, leaving him able to
breathe, but wholly powerless to stir hand
or foot.
This narrative reminded me of an anec-
dote told by Hayden, the painter, who nearly
sacrificed negro's life by attempting to take
an entire cast of the mans body at one mo-
ment from the feet to the chin. When the
plaster of paris began to set the negro could
not breathe, and he was only saved from as
phyxiation by Haydon's tearing down the
mold of brick in which he had been placed

"oNLY MEw

Fair stood the city by the sea,
Teeming with health and life
Till fever laden grew the air
And pestilence was rife.
By scores and hundreds people fed
Some refuge safe TO fine,
While helpless, hopeless poor and sad,
The many stayed behind.
A few stood bravely in their place,
Daring the fever's breath,
Sending the printed record forth
OF each days woe and death.
A little lad came to them there,
And told his sobs between,
How brother JIM had died that morn,
His brother, aged seventeen.
'Please put it in the paper, sir,
For he was always good.
And, since our fathers death, to us
In fathers place has stood"
Next day he came with wistful face.
This time It's Dick and Joe;
They will be buried in one grave,
For they are twins, you know"
A week passed by; he came again,
With faint, Excuse me, sir,
But baby's gonel I couldn't help
But tell you about her"
Once mora he came with weary step,
Climbed the steep stair, and said
With quivering lip and falteripg voice.
''Please tel them mothers deadi'
He turned about with puzzled look,
As if some question vexed,
Then murmured softly to himself.
II wonder who'll gonext?"
'How many stil remainf" said one,
Who spake with kind intent,
While on the poor boys troubled face
a plying look he bent.
The well worn cap was pulled to hide
A face twas sad to see
On one so young; checking his sobs,
He said, There's only mel"
