Like the alcalde of Lagos" Como el
alcalde dc Lagos, Is an expression cur
rent throughout a large part of Mexico
to denote any trying or ludicrous posi-
ton that n man is placed in because both
his hands are full. The story runs
Once went an alcalde OF Lagos to
church. And in his right hand he car
ried his staff of office, and as he entered
tho church he lifted off and held in his
left hand his hat. Then he sought to
put the holy water upon his forehead;
but this he could not do, for both his
hands were full. Then in a while a bold
resolve entered his heart, and he plunged
his head into tho font.
Before tho plaza that is in the midst of
the town Of Lagos was set in order, as
it now is, there was In the middle Of it a
deep and wide hole. And this hole
caused tho town council (ayuntamiento)
much concern, for they perceived that it
was n dangerous place, into which the
unwary might fall in the dark and be
killed or manned. So a meeting of the
council was called, and 1t was decided
that the hole should be filled. And to
get earth to fill it n hole was dug beside
it. And, behold, when it was full there
was n new hole, as deep and as wide rs
that which was flledi Then in the same
way did they set about filling the new
hole, and again was the same result,
only now the hole no longer was in the
middle of the plaza, but over Mt the side
of it in the street that goes out toward
the north. And again they filed it, and
30 continued, until ut last tho hole was
far out in the northern suburb of the
town. And there they suffered the hole
to remain, for there it did no HARM

More than ten years ago the writer
made a suggestion concerning a ma
tional flower and referred to the ia
yorites of other nations. 1t attracted
the attention of a few botanists at
the time and there the matter rested.
or late the subject has been revived
and various flowers have been men,
toned. Many of them have only a
local reputation, or are to be found
only in small quantities and in certain
sections of the United States. Like
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, whose
poem all must remember, I desire to
recommend the Golden Rod.
1t is found in all parts of the United
States, and, the botanists tell us, in a
hundred varieties. The Golden Rod
Is far from being the coarse looking
herb" which Webster defines it, but Is
beautiful in every type, from the tall
spikes on our wave washed shores to
the delicate fern like blossoms which
defy the artists skill.
As America is called the Land of
Gold" and is rich In resources, why
not take this royal blossom for our
floral emblem3 1t represents strength,
beauty, brilliancy, and infinite vari-
ETY., with powers of endurance calou-
lated to challenge admiration.-De-

The Sanitary News describes a new
plumbers trick, which has been first dis
covered in Milwaukee, but may be known
elsewhere, SO that architects and inspect
ors will do well to be on their guard
against it. In Milwaukee, as in many
other cities, all soil pipes put up in
dwelling houses must be tested by filling
them with water. A certain firm, know
ing that a defective pipe had been used,
contrived to plug it with clay, so that
the water applied for testing 1t did not
enter the pipe at all. 1t is not stated how
the inspector happened to find out this
ingenious deception, but he did, and the
offending firm was reported, and pun
ished by having its license revoked until
the defective pipe should b. replaced by
a new one. Most persons will say that
the revocation of the license ought to
have been made permanent.-Scientific

Thought Nc Wa. rodas,

80 ~N'Nf
a web known lawyer started for hiS
north side home about dusk one evening
last week. He thought he needed exer-
else, so he concluded to walk over. He
had with him n ladies' work basket,
fixed upon a high standard. and this he
was carrying homo to his wife. he
struck Dearborn avenue and hastened
north at a rapid gate He was looking
straight ahead, and after he had gone a
few blocks he noticed a stylishly dressed
lady alight from a handsome equipage
and run hurriedly up the steps of a
house. He thought he noticed her drop
something, and when he reached the
sidewalk in front of the house where the
carriage had stood he looked down and
discovered a fat purse. Picking it up he
tripped up the steps and rang the door
bell, the lady having beer admitted be-
fore he came up. His ring was answered
in n moment by n eat maid, whom he
asked II the lady of the house was in.
The lady evidently heard the question,
as she stepped at once to the door. He
wa about to return the pocketbook she
had dropped, when she noticed the bas-
ket in his hand and blurted out: "No,
we don't want anything" Then she
slammed the door in his face. He wanted
to explain, but it wounded his pride to
be taken for n peddler, and he tucked the
pocketbook in his pocket and proceeded
on his way home.
On his way down town in the morning
the gentleman stopped again at the lady's
house TO return the pocketbook. His wife
had not beer satisfied with the WORK
basket he had brought home with him,
and he carried 1t along to exchange for
another.
1t happened that when he rams tho
bell of the house, the number of which
he had carefully noted the day before,
the lady herself was in the hall. She
FASTENED to the door and when she saw
the man and the basket again she petu-
lantly exclaimed, 81 told you last night,
sir, that we wanted nothing" and for
the second time she slammed the door in
his countenance. This made him hot.
When he reached his Office he put the
pocketbook in n sealed envelope and
tucked 1t away in his safe. For a whole
week afterward the lady advertised In
all of the papers for her lost wealth.
At last the lawyer addressed her a note,
asking her to call at his office. When
she came ho sat her down, explained all
tho circumstance to her, and then hand
ed over her pocketbook. 1t contained
1851. Now it is a safe bet that when a
man who looks like a ~canvasser rings
her door bell she will search her pockets
before she turns him awaY.-Chicago

The Norwegian Peasant.

The Norwegian peasant has a de-
cided aptitude for trading and for
travel, and is consequently naturally
inclined TO knowledge. Education is
making steady progress in the coun-
Try; every N can read and write, and
On every farmstead one or more news,
papers are regularly taken, The hus-
mend tenants or cotters) even are be-
ginning to subscribe to newspapers.
Books they can get from the parish Ii,
brary, or very often they buy them for
themselves. The modern literature OF
the country has penetrated into every
valley, and is now generally bought
by the well TO do among the peasantry.

A Pretty Little Scene.

A boy carrying a large bouquet Of
roses, some phlox, heliotrope and
pinks entered a Cottage Grove avenue
"a yesterday. Among the passengers
inside was a little girl of possibly 8
years Of age. The little one was as
pretty a blondinette as one can see,
and her wooden dress, spotlessly white,
set off her juvenile beauty perfectly.
Everybody was admiring the child.
No sooner had the flower boy entered
than the car was filed with the per-
fume of the roses and heliotrope. The
little girl soon discovered it and quick
ly gave up her observation from the
a window. She approached her
mother and began teasing for some
of the flowers. Finally when she
found out that her mother could not
procure any of the much wished for
roses the child went right up to the
boy;
asked.
The chances were nine to ten that
the boy wouldn't give any. BUTT was,
perhaps, because the little girl was SO
sweet1y charming that he detached a
couple of handsome red roses and
gave them to her. Triumphantly
she returned to her mother.
The roses were pinned to her
bosom. At Twentieth street the boy
got off. Quickly the little girl jumped
on the seat. But it was on the wrong
side from that on which the boy was,
She jumped off, went to the other seat,
and looked out of the window. She
saw the boy, and he, noticing her,
waved his hand. Then she, putting
her rosy fingers to her mouth, threw
him two, three kisses. It was SO sweet
ly, gracefully done. Then she settled
down and inhaled her fowers.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Their Deaths roretoid by a Ghost.

Robert Withers, M. A. Vicar of
Gately, England, in 17o6, relates, in a
publication of that time, the following
singular story of the supernatural:
"Mr. Grose went to see Mr.. Shaw
on the 2nd of August last. AS they
wer talking in the evening Mr.. Shaw
says: On the Dist Of last month, as !

my study, between eleven and twelve

years.. When l saw him I was not
much affrighted, and asked him to
sit down, which, accordingly, he did
for about two hours, and we talked to-
gether. l asked him how it fared with
him. He said: Very WELL Were any

him If he would not stay atlittle long

InspirntIon from Drcnms.

Since Robert Louis Stevenson wrote
"a Chapter on Dreams, " and gave the
little Brownies of his sleeping brain
the credit of many of the fanciful Gre
ations of his waking hours, several
well known novelists have acknowl-
edged TO the dreaming of plots. The
Duchess, in a recent newspaper ar,
ticle, wrote that at least two-thirds OF
the innumerable characters who figure
in her innumerable novels have been
spun from the stuff which dreams are
made of, and if she meets an interest
ing man or woman, who is in the least
suggestive of material, and goes to
sleep with this new personality freshly
photographed in her mental camera,
she is pretty sure TO dream it up into
shape before the dawn of day.-Cur-

PENNIES AT THE FERRY HOUSE
You Would Think There Would he .
Plenty, but That Is Not So

Plenty, but That Is Not So
Gimme 81 worth Of pennies.
The grocery man up on the next or
ner sent me, shouted a boy rs he put
up a crumbled bill at the box in the
ferry house at the foot of Roosevelt
street yesterday.
Cant do it" said the ferry master;
haven't got 'em TO spare"
"What're you givin' usf" returned
the boy as he again closed his dirty
fingers around the bill. You've got
dead loads of 'em over there, only
you're too mean to give EN- TO a fell
low." With this the boy made a gri-
mace and darted into the street.
Nearly every one imagines that we
have pennies by the thousand, " said
the ferry master TO a Sun reporter,
but the fact is were nearly always
short of pennies"
And doing a penny business, tool
1t doesn't possible"
Il know it doesn't, but / can make
you understand it very easily. Just
stand here for ten minutes and keep
track of the money l take in, and you
can figure it out"
The reporter kept tally as directed.
In ten minutes forty-six persons passed

taken out, and four pennies had TO go
with the 81. "a change. One fare was
taken out of n 81 bill, and two pen
mics went with the o. cents change.
Four fifty-cent pieces for four fares en-
tailed n outgo of two pennies in the
f~orty-seven cents change TO each pas
senger. Three single fares were taken
from three quarters, and the change
in each instance contained two pen
mics. Two other quarters were offered
II two fares were taken from each,
making necessary the return in the
change of eight pennies. -Four dimes
We're Offered for four single fares, and
eight pennies went in the change, and
two dimes for two fares each required
the return of eight pennies more.
Single fares were taken from eleven
five cent pieces, and twenty-five pen
MES went in change. Thirteen passen-
gers laid down three pennies each as
they passed
This business occupied just ten
minutes, and n single examination
shows how it affected the stock of pen
MES. Sixty-one pennies were paid out
to make proper change, and only
thirty-nine were received, showing n
decrease of twenty-seven pennies.
When the ferry master had n min
ute of leisure he looked at the figures.
That is a little above our average"
he said. I'VE usually pay out from
100 TO $50 more pennies an hour than
are received. Our biggest outgo is on
Sundays and holidays. Then we start
off with $50 in pennies, and before the
day is done we frequently run short"

clients. He said it wa none of the pub

into his private office and slammed the
door. 1t was important that the reporter
should get the news, and so, on the
strength of past experiences, he called at
the lawyers home that night. The
lawyer had just finished his dinner, and
he came into his parlor, his face beam

A Disinterested Friend.

The man who never owned a dog
doesn't know what it is to have o de-
voted and disinterested friend. Do
you know any creature half so faith
full as old Clip, or Nero, or Bruno, or
Fido, or Towser, or Rattler2 When
young you maltreated him dreadfully.
You rode on his back, you pulled his
ears, you twisted his tail, you kicked
him and cuffed him. But he bore
your abuse patiently and was always
ready to lick the hand that smote
him He bore no grudge against
you, but forgot and forgave every
thing. When you left home he was
the last one of the family to say good
by; when you returned he was the
first to give you greeting. In youth
he was your comforter and protector;
now he Is your companion and friend.

In a small cottage way out in the
suburbs of New Orleans, where the air
is pure and the residences are scarce,
there departed this life recently at the
wonderful old age of 10Y years Glenn
entine Landry, for over 100 years n
resident of New Orleans. This aged
colored woman was born in st. James
parish during the year 1889, and
strange TO say has never left her native
5tato since that time. Her many chill
dren and grandchildren remember
hearing the old lady speak of Gen. An
drew Jackson's great victory at Chal-
mette and the enthusiastic name in
which he was received by the popu-
lace, and the many other Incidents of
the long ago that are only remembered
by a few. During the days of slavery
Clementine Landry was owned by Mr..
VALERIE Gaudet, at that time a promi-
nent citizen of New Orleans. AT the
time of death the members of her fam
lily amounted to about fifty persons,
among whom there are at present liv-
ing four of her children, the oldest of
whom is 20, eleven grandchildren
ranging between the years of 20 and
85, and twenty-four great-grandchil-
dren between the ages of ~ and H.

with Madge the mIler's daughter,
While song birds were awning,
Wandered mid the waving corn,
With Its golden tasseling;
And down the crested hillside swept
The yellow sunlight's tide,
And Oh the gray old world looked bright
As we walked side by side
With arm round her hssome waist,
Whispered words ~endearing;
And sweet and low her answer came
Almost too low for hearing;
And hide and seek b frolio winds
PIay'd mid the rustling corn;
And OF our hearts with love were full
On that fair summer morn
But ali, loves wings are very feet
And sweetest hours nave ending;
Too soon we heard the old mills sails
Beneat their labor bending;
But long before we left the corn
