An Absent-Minded Pa.

The prize absent minded man of the
century is a well known railroad official
living in Chicago He is young man,
but he sometimes really forgets that he
is living. Just now there is pretty
little baby up at his house-a new ar
rival-and now he is more absent mind
ed than ever. He is obliged to look
after domestic affairs since his wife's i'll
ness, and he is not used to the task. He
knows all about differential rates, but
he cannot tell stove from an ice chest.
The other morning he arose and built a
fire in the kitchen stove. When he
closed the oven door he forgot all about
the pet kitten who seeks the oven as n
nightly resting place, and when the
oven was opened later on the pet kitten
was found, done to turn. The roast
ing which the young man received for
this was quite as bad. But he does like
the new baby, and he embraces every
opportunity to embrace it. The other
morning he begged it from the nurse
and took the youngster into the library.
Sitting before his big desk he rattled
the Pens and paper weights for the
babys amusement until there came a
sharp ring at the front door bell. Has
lily laying tho baby ON the desk he
slammed down the desk curtain and
rushed to the door. 1t was friend who
wanted to see him on business, and he
put on his hat and coat and walked out
with him, forgetting all about She baby
in the desk. When the nurse came to
take it she could not find it. The young
mans hat and coat were gone, and she
feared he had taken the baby out into
the cold with him. The house was in a
rumult. When he returned half an
hour later, without the baby, he was
met by the nurse, who demanded its
whereabouts. The young man scratched
his head moment, then turned pale,
.ushed in to his desk, hastily unlocked
It and threw up the apron. There lay
the bacy, slumbering peacefully among
the ink bottles, pens and paper-weights.
But the young man doesn't get the baby
any more unless they tie red string
around his finger. Chicago Herald.

One from John.

There was very pleasant diversion
for quite circle in the parquet between
the acts at one Of Kans as City's leading
theatres the other night, although the
scene covered with confusion very
charming society lady. She is from
Chicago, although until a couple of
years ago resident of this city, and her
visits here are quite frequent. Some
time ago she was paid no little attention
by young man with whose mother and
sisters she is intimate but recently he
gave way to another, and by him she
was escorted to the theatre on this night,
the two being the nucleus of consider
able theatre party. just behind them
sat the mother of the young man who
was of old the young lady's regular S.
co1t, aud with her was her youngest
son, bright lad Of or 8. He was al
ways pet of the young lady, and as
soon as he set eyes upon her he waited
impatiently for the curtain to go down.
Then he spoke, and she turned pleas
antly to greet him.
so I forgot" cried he, presently.
He threw his arm impulsively about the
Young lady's neck, pulled back her head,
and gave her a sounding smack ON her
cheek.
"John sent that, said the imp, very
audibly, referring to his eldest brother,
as he settled contentedly back IN his
seat.
And all the rest of the evening that
Young lady's cheeks were like the red

Shooting Stars.

A small body, perhaps rs large as a
paving-stone or larger, more often per
hars not so large as IA marble. is moving
round the sun. just as mighty planet
revolyes IN an eclipse, 50 this small OBJ
Ject will move round and round in an
eclipse, with the sun in the focus. There
are at the present none nj inconceiva-
be myriads of such meteors moving in
this manner. They are too small and
too distant for our telescopes, and we
can never see them except under extra
ordinary circumstances. At the time
We see the meteor it is usually moving
with enormous velocity, so that il
traS els IS distance of more than twenty
miles in second of time. Such We
locity is almost impossible near the
earth's surface; the resistance of the air
would prevent il. Aloft, in the empti-
ness of space, there is no air to resist
the meeor. 1t may have been moving
round and round the sun for thousands,
perhaps for millions of years, without
let or hindrln e; but the supreme mo-
ment arrives, and the meteor perishes
in streak of splendor. In the course
of its wanderines the body comes near

miles of its surface, of course, begins to
encounter the upper surface of the at
mosphere with which the earth is in
closed. To body moving with the APP
FALLING velocity of a meteor a plunge
into the atmosphere is usually fatal.
Even though the upper layers of air
are excessively att nuated, yet they
suddenly check the velocity, almost as
a rifle bullet would be checked when
fired into water. As the meteor rushes
through the atmosphere the friction of
the air warns its surface; gradually it
becomes real hot, then white hot, and
is finally driven off into vapor with
brilliant light, while we on the earth,
100 or 200 miles below, exclaim: "Oh,
look, there is shooting star l''-[Story

Fattening Weather This Year.

''Did you notice that every body is fai
this Year," said DIR. Starkloff eff you
haven't, look closer at the next friend
you meet whom you have not seen for q
long time. is it accidental that you
cheeks and those of your girl are more
plump, more rosy than they we're in
1881 If it is, the action of the Missis-
sippi in running past st. Louis instead
of along the back of the Rocky
Mountains is accident also. The fact is,
this has been a vegetable year. The
flora has been luxuriant, and the fauna
follows so as mater of course. And
man, who derives his sustenance from
both, must be in procession. This year
the atmosphere came nearer maintain
ing an equilibrium than it did last year.
The hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
are in almost perfect propol ton. Some
years you see the people sallow-the
oxygen is low. Itwo1ld be an excellent
idea, were it pra ,ticab e, for the census
takers TO weigh the inhabitants of the
United States and tell us the respective
ratios of avoirdupois to members of the
three classes-infan's youths, end
adults. "-ISt. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Mine of Garnets.

The extensive garnet lodges at Fo-s
Wrangell, Alaska, are an inexhaustible
source of beautiful and ornamental curl
osities. The cropping of the lodges is
about ten feet wide, standing perpen-
iicularly and running northeast and
southwest several miles in length; the
depth of it no man has ever found out.
The rock is of o mica slate formation,
and contains from two to four dozen
garnets to the cubic foot. The gems
are regular polygons, beautiful in color,
and when fresh from the mines have a
dashing and brilliant lustre, but when
exposed for time they become dull and
opaque. The crystals vary in dimensions
from the size of pea to that of a hens
egg, and to the novice are quite fasci-
mating and have the appearance of much
value for ornamental and other pur-
poses.
The lapidaries, however, have failed
to utilize them for any purpose what
ever, except as a curio and to demon
strate the certainty of the unerring law
of nature which governs every phenom-
enon. Every plane of the polygon is
of the same form, every angle OF the
same degree, and every gem is the equal
and like of its fellow. The mining and
shipment of this rock has become quite
business. 1t is worth $40 per ton on
the wharf at Fort Wrangell, and is
shipped to all parts of the country to
fill the cabinets of the wealthy and the
collections in public institutions.

A sharper's Trick.

Sauntering up to the counter at one
of the booths at the State Fair, dis
tinguished-looking stranger began toy.
ing with common black bottle ''You
wouldn't believe / could put more water
in this bottle than any other man on the
grounds, would your" he asked, care
lessly.
A handful of visitors gathered in front
of the place and gazed at the stranger
ineredulously. 81 wouldn't, that's a
fact, one of them remarked, knowingly.
"And yet" resumed the stranger,
I'm ready to bet $40 that can do it. .
Upon hearing this statement your
uncle edged cautiously away, while the
knowing fellow stepped briskly to the
front. "You say you'll bet $40 on it, .
he remarked, in voice trembling with
excitement.
THAT'S what l said."
LET me see that bottle" demanded
the seeker after knowledge.
The bottle was passed among the
crowd, and, after due examination, was
pronounced worthy of confidence. After
some discussion of ways and means, in
terested parties formed syndicate with
a capital of IS, which sum was instantly
covered by the stranger. An individual,
presumably disinterested, was chosen to
hold the stakes, and the knowing chap
was appointed to fill the bottle. Having
turned in water till the vessel was run
ming over, he remarked with a grin:
"lhere, guess she's about as full as
she can hold. If you can crowd any
more water into her, mister, go ahead.'
Without saying word, the business
like stranger proceeded to cork the
bottle tightly; then he turned it upside
down, and in the la, ge hollow which is
found at the bottom of most bottles he
poured two or three gills of water. "I'll
trouble you to hand over that money!
he said to the stakeholder when he had
done the trick.
Then arose chorus of complaints.
"'Twasn't fair 1.-The water amt in
the bottlel" 1.-THE hull thing is swim
dle!" vociferated the duped betters.
Meanwhile the stranger coolly pocketed
the stakes, babe the dissatisfied visitors
''good day." and in another moment
was "far from the maddening crowd"

Running Down a Wild Turkey.

The wild turkey is famous runner,
and relies more upon his legs than upon
his wings when pursued. When the
birds are found upon the open prairie,
therefore, the chase, for man on horse
back, becomes really exciting. Colonel
Dodge says that in Texas, mlny years
ago, he used &C .asionally to kill them
with stick from horse. k. A flock
being discovered ON a prairie two or
three miles nc. oss, detour was made,
and the horseman, coming up from the
wood, rushed with yell at the birds,
frightening them 50 badly that some
would fly to the open prairie. The first
flight twas from 400 to 900 yards, depend
ing on the weight and fairness of the
bird. Alighting, he ran at full spee1.
At the end Of his first fight he would
probably be 200 or 300 yards ahead Of
the horseman, but this distance was
soon lessened after he alighted.
On the near approach of his pursuer
he would essay another fight, this time
scarcely 100 or 200 yaeds. A tn I'd fight
generally finished all wing business, and
his further efforts at ESCAPE were con-
fined TO running and lodging. A stick
four fee. long and as large as ones fin
ger WAS carried by the hunter, aud as
the turkey turned to avoid the horse a
smart blow ON the head finished its life
and the race. In this way / enc day
killed two turkeys, and brother officer
three, from one flock.
Some days after another officer from
the same post went out riding with his
wife. Coming on flock of turkeys in
a favorable position he proposed that
they should catch one. Atteran exciting
chase fine, large bird was run down so
that he could scarcely move, and con-
fined himself solely to avoiding the feet
Of the horses.
The officer had no stick to kill with,
and in his excitement, thinking he could
easily catch a bird so exhausted, he
sprang from his horse and took after the |
turkey ON foot. He ran his best, but the |
bird ran just fast enough to avoid his
clutch; and finally, when utterly blown |
and exhausted, he gave up the chase, he |
turned to see his horse disappearing in !
the distance and his wife, on her horse. /
in full pursuit of the runaway. He had
to walk about eight miles to the post,
and for some months it was not quite 1
safe to say turkey" to him.

First Catch Your Rat.

Victor Poissant, young electrician

this method of electrccution at intervals

shortsighted Children.

A careful observation Of some tire,
hundred cases of short sigh;elness il
children, conduc ed by Professor Fors
ter, director Of the University Ophthal
mic Clinic OF b, slau, led him to con
clude that too tight collars were in q
large number Of cases responsible fol
the trouble. He found the parents slf
fering from a chronic complaint brought
on by a disturbance in the regular and
normal flow of bloc !, which he trace
to the wearing of collars that were not
sufficiently loose, and parents and
teachers were cautioned to guard against
continuing their use. The warning
may b. servicsabIe in similar cases
everywhere.
