HE MADE THE FIRST THIMBLE.

There is a rich family of the
name of Lofting in England, the
fortune of whose house was found
ed by such an apparently insig-
nificant thing as a thimble. The
first ever seen in England was
made in London less than two
hundred years ago by a metal
worker named John Lofting. The
usefulness of the article COM
mended it at once to all who used
the needle, and Lofting acquired a
large fortune. The implement
was then called the thumbell, it
being worn on the thhmb when in
use, and its shape suggesting the
rest of the name. This clumsy
mode of utilizing it soon changed,
however, but the name, softened
into thimble remains.-Public
Opinion.

A TRILLION KISSES.

The case of the Florida man
who had his love letters produced
and read in court should teach
other lovers moderation in the
making of osculatory contracts.
In a single postscript the
Florida man undertook to deliver
to the lady of his choice no less
than 1,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO kisses.
And as such contracts are not III
frequently made in love letters, it
may be well to give a thought to
the magnitude of the undertaking,
says the Boston Globe.
Whoever will take the trouble
to figure it out will find that, even
if this amorous southerner should
give the lady $4,000 kisses min
ute (and we affirm that no person
could hope to do more than that),
and even If he could keep up this
rate Of OSCILLATION twenty four
hours day, never pausing to eat,
sleep or take breath, working 365
days every year, it would take
him more than 100 years to COM
plete the contract; and by that
time, it is painful to reflect, the
ardor of his love may have cooled.
Even at the age of 100 years,
counting $4,000 kisses a minute,
there would remain an undelivered
balance of more than 20O,0O0.-
100000, number which in itself
might well appall the most indus
trious.

A GOOD "MORREL" TOWN.

A Boston woman wrote to the
mayor of new town in Wyoming,
asking him for information regard
ing the state of society in his town,
as she contemplated going there
for the benefit of the health of her
children. On receiving his reply
she concluded to remain in Boston
for awhile longer. The mayor
wrote: .
Gas for sowciety, it is bang up.
This is nifty morrel town, con-
sidering that there's sixty-nine
saloons to population of 1900.
But every saloon has a sign up
saying: sAll ftin' must be done
outside. No KILN allowed in
This ROOM Two men has been
killed since Monday and tomorrow
is Wednesday. Cheating at gam
bling is punished. by lynching and
every effort is being made to
put the town on good moral
basis. Ladies is universally re-
spected and | sell them beer at
half price when they buy at my
place. There is a grand sacred
concert and free dance here ev'ry
Sunday night, and preaching every
Sunday that the pastor don't have
ter stay to home on account of the
big rush at his Bowling Alley.
Don't hezzitate about coming here
on account of sawciety. This is a
morrel town."

CONSUMPTION OF TIMBER.

To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100000 cords of timber, and to
make lucifer matches, 100000
cubic feet of the best pine are re-
quired every year. Lasts and
boot trees take 100000 cords of
birch, beech and maple, and the
handles oftools 100000 more. The
baking of bricks consumes 2,O00,-
900 cords Of wood, or what would
cover with forest about $4,000
acres of land. Telegraph poles
already up represent 100000 trees,
and their annual repairs consume
annually thirty years. growth of
$4,000 acres and to fence all the
railroads in the United States
would cost $45,0O0,0O0 with a
yearly expenditure of $15:O0O,000
for repairs. These are some of the
ways which American forests are
going. There are others: packing
boxes, for instance, costs in 1874
$12, 100000, while the timber used
each year in making wagons and
agricultural implements is valued
at more than one hundred mil
lion dollars.

A published card thanking their
friends for their services in the
sickness and death of a relative is
decidedly out of taste, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and is now
followed only in the back, woods
countries. If a mans friend can
not wait on him in sickness and
bury him after death without be-
ing publicly thanked for it, they
are very poor friends indeed.
Common humanity should teach
all people to visit the sick and
bury the dead, without any ex-
pectation of reward or a display of
gratitude through the columns of
a newspaper.

AN UNFORTUNATE WINNER.

Carl Hendricks arrived in Port
land on Saturday last from New
Orleans, ell route for Victoria. B.
B., in a very unhappy frame OF
mind, at which none will wonder.
Early last month he bought a
quarter ticket in the Louisina lot
tery-the number that drew the
capital prize, which entities him to
$4,000. After buying the ticket
he thought no more of it till he
boarded the train for the. north
west, and glancing over a paper
containing the list of drawings, he
found that he was the winner of a
handsome fortune, but when he
came to look for his ticket it was
gone, and up to this moment has
been unable to find it. While re-
lating his misfortune to reporter
his eyes glistened with gathering
tears. He said, "Anyone having
the ticket in his possession can col
lect the money, and there is no
probability that | will ever get a
dollar out of my luck"

a room or busted a parlor. Then
I'd never be asked to do such
work.
In church l would never rise
during the singing and never
kneel during prayers. Then peo-
pie would notice me and say,
''Who is that pretty girl with such
lovely eyes?'' =
At the theatre l would wear the
biggest hat obt ainable.
At cricket and lawn-tennis
matches l would sit in the front
row and raise my parasol.
Iwould cultivate such chal ming
helpless, such hopeless innocence,
such pretty, childish ignorance,
such fascinating dependence, such
dainty baby ways that people
would say, ooh, we mast take
care OF her, she doesn't under
stand these things.'' Then all my
life long l would be petted and
coddled and fondled and cared for
in thousand different way, where
more Independent women have to
''hustle" for themselves.
That is, daughter, if other
women would care for such a
sweet little bit of help!essness.
Maybe they would. You know
better than l do how women re-
gard that sort of a woman.
But, you can gamble your peace
of mind, your love Of ease and all
your enjoyments of life that the
Monster Man wouldn't torment
the solitude of such woman with
his presence longer than, day or
two, and she would thus be spared
one of the greatest annoyances to
which mankind is subjected.

THE FRONT GATE.

An old and crippled gate am 1,
And twenty years have passed
Since l was hung up high and dry
Betwixt these posts so fast;
But now I've grown so powerful weak
Despised by man and beast
I'm scarcely strong enough to squeak,
Although I'm never creased.
Twas twenty years ago, l say,
When Mr.. Enos White
Came kind O. hanging round my way
Most every other night.
He hung upon my starboard side
And she upon the other,
Till Susan Smith became his bride,
And in due time mother.
l groaned intensely when heard
Despite am no churl-
My doom breathed i'll single word;
The baby was girl!
And as she grew and grew and grew,
l loud bemoaned my fate;
For she was very fair to view,
And II was the gate.
Then in due time lover came,
Betokening my ruin,
"A u'sppCi tOlao"1
The grown-up baby wooin'.
They sprang upon me IN the gloam,
And talked of moon and stary
They're married now and live at home
Along with ma and pa.
My lot was happy for year,
No courting night or day
1 had no thought, had no fear,
Bad luck would come my way.
But Oh! this morning, save the mark!
There came wild surprise,
A shadow fitted, grim and dark,
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor, with knowing smile,
A nurse with face serene,
A hustle in the house the while,
Great Scott! what can it mean?
My hinges ache; my back is weak,
My pickets in a whlrl;
hear that awful doctor speak;
1t is another girl.
