THE REp.AEADEp GIRL.
OHIO


She is coming Make way for her chariot
wheels;
She drives but white horses, the editors say
Let pedantry take to its loud Boosting heels,
While honesty, simple and genial, feels
A thrill of new life from the power OF her
sway.
She mounts to no platform-sho never may
vote,
And little she mourns for the rights of her
race;
But dishonor and fraud-she can read them by
note;
She judges no man by the cut of his coat
But will tell your true life by the lines OF your
face.
She may not be handsome, or witty, or gay;
She may never set any mans head in whirl
But she buckles to work, while her mates are
at play,
"The world shall yet honor one redheaded
girl"
A score OF white horses may walk in her train,
And newspapers publish tho stale paragraph,
She passes them by with happy disdain-
With malice toward none, and no personal pain,
She cheerfully joins in the general laugh.
They say that the gallows has finished its day;
Electricity soon will give culprits whirl
on nto the future-be that us it may;
You had better be hung in the good old way
Than to merit the scorn of u red.hcaded girl

crying, which had now reached the chronic

At length John spoke.

The Mosquitoes Poison Glands.

The bloodthirsty mosquito is not
malevolent as he is commonly de-
scribed, If we may accept the investi-
cations of Prof. George MacLoskie. He
has been able by staining and dissec-
ton, to show that the poison gland is
one of three minute glands (the others
being ordinary salivary glands) on
each side of the head, and connected
with minute duct which traverses the
length of the long pointed piercer
which forms an important portion of
the mouth parts Of the mosquito. 2he
writer maintains that this fluid is 10
tended mainly to prevent the coagpla-
tion OF the proteids of plants which the
animal sucks from the tissues, and that
its poisonous effect upon other animals
is only secondary. II so, it would per-
haps follow that 1t is not introduced
into the human flesh as poison. 1t is
difficult to see what purpose the irri-
tating effect OF the bite upon other ami
mails can serve the mosquito, since IL
must make the chance of its getting
nourishmcnt from the blood of other
animals many times less than ii other
wise would be. 1t may be worthy of in
quiry whether the irritating effect is
not incidental and perhaps only occa-
sional. and due TO other causes than
the fluid which seems, by analogy, to
have another distinct purpose.

ELEPHANTS AT LARGE.
How Couple of Colossal Pachyderms Ell

How Couple of Colossal Pachyderms En-
joyed n Two Hours Liberty.
The circus elephants had y lively
tramp around the environs Of Toulon
the other night. The colossal pachy-
derms were literally "out on the loose"
for they had managed to burst their
bonds of captivity after the circus was
over. and, while their keepers were
soundly asleep, they wobbled out on
the main road of La Seyne. Finding
themselves free, they began to flourish
their trunks about vigorously and to
skirmish for provender. They first
made an incursion into number OF
market gardens, where they battered
down walls and palings with the great
est alacrity, and proceeded promptly
to root up and to stow away down their
capacious mouths various specimens OF
vegetable produce. They next wan
dered along by IA trim villa, the grounds
of which they entered and demolished
a conservatory therein. After this they
sniffed around bakers shop at the
entrance to the suburb of La Seyne,
being thereunto attracted by the
pleasant odor of new bread. The head
baker of the establishment was at his
door and saw the dim colossal forms
approaching him in the darkness. He
thought the end of the world was al
hand, and retired inside with trepida-
tion. having well barred the door. The
pachyderms came on and halted before
the doors, which they began to batter
with their trunks and to crush with
their bodies. Luckily for the baker his
door was a good stout one, so he was
able to await a possible catastrophe
with comparative calmness. Finding
the doors too strong for them, the ele-
plants broke few windows in the
bakery and took to the road again.
Spying a gypsy encampment on their
way, they reconnoitered it; knocked
down few of their huts, and caused
terrible uproar in the nomadic settle
ment. The women and children
shrieked, and the men turned out
with pitchforks TO do battle with the
strange foes BY this time, however,
the pachyderms were missed by their
keepers, and the hue-and-cry had been
raised. Before the gypsy encampment
was completely demolished the circus
people and the police came to the res
cue; the elephants were secured, and
were duly marched back to their en-.
closure. st. James Gazette.

MIGHTY HARD LUCK.
Why Young Journalist Has Discarded
His Best Clothes.

Why n Young Journalist Has Discarded
His Best Clothes.
A good story is going the rounds Of
the hotels and cafes uptown about a
young journalists experience with Mr..
G. w. Childs, of Philadelphia. II is
said to be true and has not been printed.
The journalist was in financial con-
dition bordering on bankruptcy. His
assets when duly inventoried, amounted
to one dime. Only one man in the
city owed him money, and his ambition
was to make the ten cents pay the car
fare until the debtor was reached. 1t
was a desperate case, and seven
chances out of ten the debtor would
have some excuse and not pay. The
debtor was queer kind of a man, and
always seemed to be more generous
toward the prosperous than the pow
erty-stricken looking individual. For
this reason the journalist clad himself
beaver hat, kid gloves, patent leather
shoes and carried silver-headed cane.
He got on the Sixth avenue elevated
downtown, paying half of all his
financial possession for the fare. In
the car he sat opposite George w.
Childs, the well-known philanthropist.
just before reaching the Twenty third
street station Mr.. Childs took out q
roll of bank bills, put several large
bills in an envelope and placed it back
in his coat pocket The train stopped.
Mr.. Childs arose with the bank bills in
his right hand, walked out on the plat
form and then showed the bills, rs he
thought, into his inside coat pocket.
They missed the pocket and fell to the
floor. The journalist with five cents
in his pocket picked up the money,
overlook Mr.. Childs and gave it to
him. The philanthropist took the
roll of greenbacks, counted out three
bills of large denominations, and
started to hand them to the lucky and
honest finder. Before it reached the
hand of the latter Mr.. Childs drew
back, took careful survey of the ele-
gantly-attired gentleman before him,
blushed, put the money back with the
other bills, pulled off his hat and in
that polite tone of voice that means
to say n-you-forgive-me-for-my-
take. said "Sir, / really beg your
pardon; 1 thank you very much"
The journalist went home and
changd his elegant suit of clothes for
an ordinary ten dollar Bowery-looking
suit He thinks now with Emerson,
that it never pays to seem what you are
not.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

NORTH SEA TRAWLERS.
The Dangers They Brave to Keep Soul
and Body Together.

The Dangers They Brave to Keep Soul
and Body Together.
Every condition of squalor, cold, ex-
cessive toll and danger is known to
them, and during the greater part Of
the year they do not know a single
pleasure, even of the low sort. Why
should they endure such fate? 1t is
because they know of no other. Many
of them leave the parish schools and
become apprentices; from that day
until their bleak and barren life's end
they are cut off from the world of men.
People think that Il voyage to the Cape
is rather long and tedious affair, but
the fisherman stays out at sea for eight
weeks at IL stretch. and during that
time he must be content with alter
nations of furious labor and mere dull
ness, unless some influence from out
side can be made to touch him. For
eight weeks the men only have their
reeking cabin as q refuge from the
deck; and the very name of pleasure
would sound strange to them. No one
who is inexperienced can conceive the
extent of the fisherman's ignorance
even now, and | think that only
that same ignorance keeps them
from feeling discontented. At their
own craft they are consummately
skillful; they know the cunning and
mysterious ways OF fishes; they can
read the meaning of every change of
wind, or sky, or sea; and they are SO
needless of danger that it is sometimes
frightful to see them. Then, barring
the worst of the weeds from the slum,
they are men of superb physique, and
their powers of bearing labor and priva-
tions are quite without parallel in my
experience. This noble set of toilers
must be reckoned as only equal to the
merest children in knowledge. When
they are bad, their badness is brutal;
when they are good, their goodness is
marked by infantile simplicity. The
sailor goes from port to port; tho
smacksman travels from the desolate
banks of the Dogger or Ameland to
the quayside of his native town, and
then he goes back again-year in, year
out. Often on weary afternoons, when
the gray sky stopped low and the dim
water was lashed by the sleet, / have
thought "What lifep' Mr.. Carlyle
boldly asserted that man is nearer
the eternal verities, or something OF
that kind, when he is at sea; now
should say that the fisher, with his
dogs housing and his dogs life, is a
good deal kept away from the verities.

She could talk, always talk, and seeing no
visible signs that his economic homilies had

THE FARMERS HEALTH.
Simple Precautions Whose Adoption Would
Greatly Reduce Doctors' BlIls.

Greatly Reduce Doctors Bills.
The farmers health is vastly more
important than the health OF his stock
or the dimensions of his purse. Next
to certain provision for the great
beyond, the health of the farmer ana
that of his household should be his first
concern. Oftentimes he makes it his
last concern. His table might be
spread with the purest health-givins
food in the world, and yet oftener IL
groans beneath heaps and heaps OF
dyspeptic germs in great variety. But
this is rather for the consideration OF
the farmers wife than for that OF the
farmer. Then that cesspool OF abom-
nations, the receptacle Of the slops OF
the house is again, on the approach OF
warm weather, commencing its work OF
death. The air above it becomes con-
taminated with the virus of disease
which finds its way into the farmers
lungs, and preys upon his vitality.
Then its hidden percolations find their
way, perchance, into the well, and ul-
timately into the system OF the inmates
OF the house. The farmer is by nature
SO situated that he might enjoy larger
measure OF health than any other class.
and yet he does not. The extra vigor
given him by perpetual inhalation OF
fresh air is more than neutralized by
improper conditions of living. self.
imposed, and these, like stern miner
chipping away at the foundation Of ex-
istence, deprive him OF his great
strength. There Is no item Of farm
expenditure that runs up so fast as q
doctors bill, and nothing so destruc-
tive of the material interest OF ths
farmer as the deprivations OF sickness.
