In Germany railway fagman at a
small station thought he had the grip
when all the other employees of the road
were getting leave of absence for the
same cause, and applied to the compa-
ny's doctor to be examined. The doctor
could not spare the time to stop at such
a small place, so he telegraphed the
fagman to be standing beside the track
when the train went past, with his
tongue out, and he would examine him
on the fly. The fiagman dutifully stood
with bis tongue out all the time the
train was slowly passing his station, and
the next day the company received from
passengers a dozen complaints of the
impertinent conduct of one of its en-
ployes at that station.

But Florence did not laugh: she was
much nearer crying, The front of her
pretty light coat was black with mud.
and her hat was bent cut OF SHAPED
While the older ones were brushing OF
the mud and trying to console her the
bell rang and they had 70 60 in to
school. Florence was able 10 pay very
little attention to her lessons. and re
ceived a number of bad marks. the first
she had had that week. TO make mat
tiers worse, when she came out of school
the rain was pouring down and She had
no umbrella. With her cid coat and
hood on she would have liked the fun Of
running home in the rain. Now it was
any thing but funny, particularly as her
mother opened the door when she got
home.
You may go upstairs" said her
mother, and wait till come.
The waiting was dreadful Mary
came and took her coat and hat away,
but did not speak 10 her. At last her
mother came, and Florence would have
preferred any punishment to her moth
er's way OF talking; it made her feel so
small and SO ashamed.
She cried great deal. and said she
was very sorry. But that did not take
the stain of the coat. She was obliged
to wear it, however, stain and all. until
it was Outgrown, to teach her that wrong
doing had lasting effects
am glad 10 say that il did teach her.

INDIANS AND WHISKY.
The Noble Red Man Invests a Bad Habit
with Good Points.

They will drink whisky-and what
Indian will not?-but even in this they
observe method and decree of de-
cency that white topers would do we'll
to initiate. When band or family de-
eide to get drunk they send to the near
est market for one or more gallons Of
liquor. In spite of the law forbidding
the sale Of intoxicants to Indians they
have no difficulty in finding white
agents willing TO procure the stuff for
them. 1t is indeed stuff, and that Of the
vilest character, though for it the In
dians are made 10 pay at least double
the price of the best quality; but what
frontier trader regards it as any thing
but meritorious to cheat red-skin?
With the liquor in their possession
the Indians retire to some remote spot
where their orgies will not be wit
messed by any save themselves, and de-
liberately prepare for their spree. They
first set aside share of the fire water"
for the squaws, who will not touch drop
of it until their lords have finished their
debauch All guns, knives and other
weapons are then placed in charge Of the
squaws, or, if there are no women in the
party, they are delivered to one Of the
men, for whom a certain amount of
liquor is reserved. While the rest are
drunk this guardian of the peace must
remain sober and keenly watchful of
the actions of his companions. Should
he prove unfaithful to his trust he will
be exiled from the tribe, and no Indian
viii hold communication with him for
the term of months or years during
which his exile IS enforced. While the
debauch of his companions lasts he is
absolute master of the situation, and is
at liberty to use any amount of force,
even TO the taking of life, to repel an at
tempt to regain possession of tie weap-
ons. If these are left with squaws the
same rule holds good for them.
The preparations being thus com
pleted, the Indians, using one small tin
cup, which is impartially handed from
one to another, proceed TO get solemnly,
funnily, furiously and stupidity drunk
The next day it is the turn of the squaws
or of the man who has stood guard, and
they, too, taste the joys and sorrows of
complete intoxication. Munroe,
in Scribner's Magazine.

THE WAY TO sLEEPToWN.

The town OF SIeeptown IS not far.
In Timbuctoo or China,
For its right near BY in Blinkton County,
In the State Of Drowsylina;
It's just beyond the Thingumbob hills,
Not ar from Nodville Center
But you lcUst be drawn thro' the Valley Of
Yawu,
orthe town you csn not enter.
And this IS the way,
They say they say,
That Baby goes TO : 'eptown
He starts from the city o. odearme,
ThrO' Booboo street he totters,
Until he comes 10 Dontcry Corners
By the shore OF the Sleeping Waters:
Then ne comes TO the Johnny-Jump-Up
hills,
and the nodding To1dlebom mountains,
And straight does le 60 thro' the Vale o.
Heighho,
And drink from the drowsy Fountains.
And this is the way,
They say, they say,
That Baby goes TO Sleeptownl
BY Twilight Path thro' the Nightcap hill
The little feet must toddle,
Thro' the dewy gloom Of Flyaway Forest
By the drOwsy peaks Of NOddle:
And never sound does Baby bear,
fOF not a lear OOes culver.
From the Little Dream Gap in the Hills Of
Nap,
To the Snoozequehanna river.
And this is the way,
They say, they say,
That Baby goes TO Sleeptowni
Away he flies over Bylow bridge,
Through Lullaby lane TO wander
And on thro' the groves Of Moonshine valley
BY the hills Of Wayonyonder;
And then does the fairies flying horse
The sleepy Baby take up
Until they enter at Jumpof Center
The Peekaboo Vale Of Makeup,
And this is the way,
They say they say,
That Baby comes from Sleeptown.

The Severe Lesson That q wllful Little
Girl Was Taught.
About some things Florence was sure
she knew better than her mother, al
though she was but ten years old. One
was about her new spring coat and hat.
Florence wanted to wear them at once,
but her mother said she must wait for
some time yet This made her quite
cross, but her mother did not allow her
to wear new clothes any the sooner for
that.
One bright, Sunday morning her moth
er was in bed with headache, and Flor
ence had to get ready for school by her.
self. She went to the closet for her old
coat and winter hood, and there on the
nail was the new coat, and on the shelf
lay the hat all ready to put on.
Il do believe | will wear it to-day, :"
she said to herself, 4 am most sure
mamma would let me, it is so bright and
warm But she was really not at all
sure. She would not have put on the
new coat and hat, and gone so quickly
down stairs for fear Mary, the nurse,
would see her, if She mad been.
When she arrived at school all the lit
tie girls came about her to admire her
new clothes. and She felt very proud.
AT recess the children We're playing in
the yard Tie ground was damp and
muddy. for il had rained all the day be-
fore. Florence was having fine game
of tag, quite forgetting her new coat.
Suddenly as She was running her foot
caught and down She fell in the very
muddiest part Of the yard The others
ran to help her and laughed merrily
when they saw tie plight she was in.
