TWO NOBLE BROTHERS.
Both Perish in Heroic Attempts to sav
Each other.

Both Perish In Heroic Attempts to save
Each other.
Several years ago in the western
part of Snyder County a large gang Of
men were raising q barn. A number
of them were pushing up D heavy piece
of timber (vertically) to be placed
horizontally along where the caves
would be. When the one end was
about halfway above the height of the
caves the object was to swing it care
fully into position. Albion Deutler.
weighing two hundred pounds, was
standing at the end of the barn on the
upper log. When the timber was al
most ready to be swung into position
tho scaffolding upon which the men at
the lower end stood gave way, and
every thing being wet and slippery
from a recent rain the upper end slid
around and struck Albion. He being
very quick caught at the moving piece
of timber, which soon fastened itself as
a temporary cross beam.
Albion was suspended from the log
by his arms, eight feet from the barn
and twenty-five feet from the ground.
He was so disabled from the jar that
he could neither get into the barn nor
hold himself long. On the ground near
by his brother Harry and another man
were working. Seeing Albion in this
predicament, they ran to his assistance
and wanted to catch him. go away
and let me die if must; you shall not
risk your life for mine," said he to his
brother. "All right, responded Harry
and at the same time he motioned to
his companion to assist him in catch
ing Albion.
Not over two feet behind Harry was
a newly dug we'll, thirty five feet deep.
He looked into this, fully realizing his
dangerous situation, and then turned
his eyes toward Albion. The latter,
not being able to hold himself any
longer, began his descent. ~ must, |
must save him, " said Harry, earnestly.
His heroism was at the expense of his
own life, for the momentum of the fall
ing body was too much for them to
check. The sweeping descent of AL
bion knocked both men on their backs
and hurled Harry head first into the
well.
Albion in his descent broke one of
his arms and two of his ribs. After
looking about him and realizing the
situation he quickly fastened the one
end of long rope to a tree near by
and the other end he dropped into the
we'll, down which he began his descent
with one arm, while the pains of his
bruises and mutilated body were almost
uncomfortable. Notwithstanding the
pain he descended the rope to the sur
face of the water, which was eight feet
deep. He plunged in to rescue his
brother, but alas! was unable to swim
and having lost his hold on the rope
Harry, while struggling for life, pulled
him under.
Before the men above could be of
any real assistance Harry died. AL
bion did not live over fifteen minutes
after he reached the surface of the
earth.-Philadelphia Press.

MISS MELlsN,s COURAGE. ~


Her Daring Rescue of n Drowning Girl at
Boston.
Residing within the shadow OF Bunker
Hill there is a young lady who for
pluck and heroism ranks we'll with
many whose deeds OF daring have been
loudly praised and whose services have
been recognized by tho Nat onal Gov
ernment. Her name is Nellie Louisa
Mallen, and she is but sixteen years old.
A most daring rescue was effected by
her at Chelsea Bridge little more than
year ago Nellie was standing upon
the outer platform Of the public bath
house with companion, when she was
suddenly startled by sharp cry of ter
ror and the noise of splashing water.
Running toward the sea-wall of the
new wharves, few rods distant, she
saw little girl splashing about in the
river Without hesitation in she
plunged to the rescue, and, although
the river at this point is at least fifteen
feet deep, she reached the sinking girl,
and, grasping her by the hair started
to tow her to the bath-house. The
task was not an easy one for the drown
ing girl took firm grasp on Nellie's
shoulders With a clinging weight of
clothing she could do nothing and was
obliged to sink.
Her charge then relaxed her grasp,
and Nellie once moro attempted to
bring her ashore. Again she was
clutched in death clasp and struggled
to free herself. When almost eX-
hausted she triumphed in her endeav-
ors, for the other girl had become un-
conscious.
She swan to the bath-house landing,
and, with the aid of four men who, by
the way, had looked quietly on up to
this point without Offering any assist
ance, the drowning girl. Nora Farrell,
was saved. 1t required half hour 8
work to resuscitate her. Miss Nellie
was pretty thoroughly exhausted. but
soon rallied, and entering the women S
bath-house she dried her clothing, took
quiet swim, and then went home to
supper. Her parents were greatly
surprised upon reading in the paper
the following day full account of their
little daughters heroism. Miss Nellie
is comely girl. of light complexion
and we'll proportional figure. She has
large. bright eyes, and there is mod
est determination and fearlessness ex-
pressed in her features. She has been
very good swimmer since her ninth
year, and modestly expresses willing
ness to plunge in to the rescue of an
other If the necessity should arise. -

Horses Wearing Bustles.

"Did you ever see horses that wore
bustles, just like womanP" asked DIR.
Henry Wilson, who is just back from
Kentucky. John Hughes showed q
pair of horses in buggy that he had
been offered SO, 500 for, and asked$5, 900.
They took the blue ribbon, and know
every gait that horse ever made.
Tqese horses wore bustles all the time
except when on the road. When put
in their stalls wire hustle, just such
as lady wears, only smaller, was put
under the tail and held there by strap.
This made the horse throw the tail
from the body, and gave it style in ac'
tion. Many horses in Kentucky wear
bustles. 1t is a regular trade about
Lexington to buy likely handsome
horse from the country for $500 or s40C
and educate him to all the gaits, and
give him style, speed him up little,
and sell him for thousand or so. At

1t may, perhaps, interest readers to
know some of the secrets of cheap
glove-making. My facta relate to Bo-
hemia, from which country many cheap
! gloves are imported. Before the intro
duction of the glove sewing machine,
which took place about 1870, u simple
apparatus was in use consisting of two
brass plates, in which the stitches were
incised, holding tightly together the
leather parts of the glove, while the
needle of the sewer followed easily
these incised stitches. II was an easy
work, not at all injurious to body or
eye. and an Industrious and quiet girl
could, without any exertion, sew two
pairs of gloves u day, for which she
received from p pence to Spence each
equal to about pence to pence day
Very poor wages. But the money was
earned in comfortable way.
Let us now compare what progress
these girls made in the golden era o,
machinery. The poor sewers are
never in position to acquire the
requisite sum to be owners of these
machines. The district to which J
refer is a poor, mountainous part
the men mostly miners of an imperial
silver mine, with daily wages of 16
pence. The requisite machines are
owned by middlemen, called factors, to
whom the glove manufacturers from
all parts of Austria send their unfin.
ished gloves for sewing. These factors
are proprietors of q certain number OF
machines-from twenty upwards to a
hundred-which are fitted up in work.
rooms, most of them very inditferently
suited for the purpose. The poor girls
from the neighboring district have
often to walk distance of eight miles
to find work in such workrooms. They
leave their miserable cottages at
a. m. to begin their days work at 6
a. m. After hard labor of twelve
hours on most complicated machine,
and after having passed another two
hours on their way home, their whole
earning consists of z pence. Including
the hours she loses on the road, she
works ninety six hours a week for 3
shillings 6 pence, her body continually
bent over most complicated machine,
her eyes watching leather, thread. and
needle necessarily, her foot moving
continually, amid the rattle of many
machines, in a most sickly atmosphere.
This is how cheap gloves are made

COLLEGE BASEBALL.
1t Closely Follows the Line of the Profes
sionRl Game.


The history of college baseball fol-
lows the line of the professional game
very closely. AT times the college men
have been rather more conservative,
and have clung to certain rules for a
season or two after their abandonment
by the professionals. In the end, how
ever, in nearly every instance, they
realized the advantage of the change.
and followed the lead set them. In the
early days of the sport the collegians
coped successfully with the majority
of the semi-prOfessionals but even then,
when they were pitted against the
strongest, the college mines met with
defeat The first game of note be-
tween college nine and professionals
was in the spring of 1868, between Yale
and the Unions of Morrisania. The
Unions were at that time the champions
of the country. The game was intense
ly exciting. At the end of the fifth in
ming Yale led, 8 to 4, but by the end of
the ninth inning the Unions had tied
the score and eventually won the game,
16 to IA. Frequently the score sheets
of college mines show excellent fielding
but when these same men are brought
to face the sharp, hard hitting of the
professional batsmen their errors begin
to multiply, and. in an inverse ratio.
their hits diminish, The increase OF
errors is due to the difficulty they find
in handling the fast drives of the
trained batsmen, and also to the ner-
vousness produced by the knowledge
that they must play a quicker game.
A professional gets to first base far
more rapidly than college player, and
the firstsensation of college infeld or
meeting professional nine is one OF
hurry. A short-stop or third baseman
finds that he has no time to .juggle'
the ball and then throw the man out,
as he often can do with college runners.
The ordinary college pitcher is nc
match for League or Association bat
ters, and they find an easy prey in him.
On the other hand, the skill of the
professional pitcher readily balks the
attempts of the college batsmen to find
the ball, and only the best men handle
the stick with any effect. The rest OF
the nine become nervous over their
failure to judge the delivery, and before
the end of the game apparently dread
to come to the plate for their turn

NOvEL-LOOKING SHOES.
Footwear Made from the Skins of Lizards
and Giant Frogs.

and Giant Frogs.
We have received several inquiries
OF late as to lizard-skins and their suit
ability for making up into boots and
shoes. To put the case briefly, and
speaking generally, the skins are un-
suited for this purpose, as they are
naturally thin and wanting in strength.
They require also to be very carefully
handled in every stage of the processes
of tanning-or, rather, tawing-and
finishing. OF course pliability is de-
sideratum in any leather to be used for
uppers, and this can only be attained
in the case of lizard-skins by working
on the flesh, and the greatest care has
to be taken in this operation or the
knife used would cut through the skin.
II is also difficult to produce satisfac-
tory colors and at the same time retain
the natural markings OF the skin. SO
that lizard-skins are almost invariably
sold in their natural colors-or, more
correctly speaking, in the colors pro-
duced in making the skins into leather
and. as these are just white and grey,
shading In some cases to black, Il Is
not easy to make of them lasting or
taking-loolsing shoe. There is, fur
ther, very little strength in even the
largest-sized lizard-skins, so that, If
used at all. it could only be for slippers
or shoes which would not be subjected
to real wear. We have seen a novel
looking shoe with vamp and quarters
OF lizard-skin, but its novelty was al
most the only recommendation and the
objections are, as already mentioned,
many and serious. So far as the shoe
trade is concerned, lizard-skins are not
we think, likely TO come largely into
use. In this connection, the fact
might be mentioned that in one Of the
South American courts of the Paris
Exhibition some slippers are shown
made from the skins of the frog. The
thought will at once occur that either
the slippers must be OF Il preternatnral-
ly small size or that great many skins
are required to furnish the leathers for.
each pair, but, as u matter OF fact. the
frogs in question are OF enormous size.
and are called giant frogs. London
