Why Support tho Homo Paper?
yNhr2 Roon,,ao i& A,..,o l,o44a.

Why Support tho Homo Paper?
Why? Because, If for no better reason,
the homo newspaper supports you. You
wake up once in while, perhaps, and
forsahng your private business, in which
for years you have been immersed, you
turn out and spend day or I'M hour for
the public good-at the polls fighting
against the reelection Of n boodler at a
public meeting talking o1'water works
or some new cnterprise-and then you
return to your pursuit, leaving the news
paper to clinch the victory or protect tho
retreat, as the case may be.
Tho newspaper man has keen so long
the watchman on the tower, or the man
on guard, that his service in this line is
taken as a matter of course, and the
value of that service has fallen too fur
in public appreciation.
But the newspaper man is not whin-
ing. He cares whether his service is
appreciated or not-everybody who is
anybody is sensitive to appreciation or
the denial of it; but he knows what be-
longs to his guild, and knowing, he is
going to continue his performance. Still,
when reasons are wanted for supporting
the homo paper, 1t is fair to say that the
newspaper should be supported because
it is q daily public benefit, contcnding
for the public good when the public it.
self is drowsy or slumbering deeply.
But that, you may say, is a sentimental
reason, and so 1t is, partly. No self re-
specting newspaper man would urge it
alone. The strict business reason for
supporting the home paper Is that it
pays, directly, as well as indirectly. Let
two inen try two opposite policies. Let
one man advertise in the home paper-
not putting in an cad" written in a min
uto OH scrap Of paper, but preparing an
announcement with care and study,
changing it frequently, always with the
same caro-, and keeping the series going
steadily. Lot tho other man try any rlpn
he pleases Of pushing business -chromos,
prizes, brass bands, balloon real estate
tricks, personal solicitation from house
to house-anything he pleases-and sec
how it will come out. For tho same
money tho newspaper advertiser will
beat tho other man two to one!

Carriotl the BABY.

One of the district messenger boys un-
dertook Il novel task Sunday afternoon.
He was called to q Franklin street house,
where he found woman with baby.
81 am going to take baby to the park for
an airing" she said. "My maid has gone
home sick, and want you to go with
me to carry the baby. You can do it
we'll enough If you only think so." The
boy did not think so at all, but he had
no way out of it, and for three hours he
bore the infant until he feared that his
arms would come out of their sockets.

The Fatal Ring.

1 was told singular tale of ring
while on recent visit to Pari3
morgue. For nearly 100 years q certain
family Of working people in Paris have
ended their lives by suicide. From Ia
ther to son, from mother to daughter,
has been handed q plain gold ring, and
on the finger Of each Of these suicides
has been found this trinket. 1t has been
called the fatal ring, and only last year
it made its appearance on the finger of
young mantle last of the race. Tia
ring was buried with the corpse. The

A BRIGHT Jury.

Daniel O'Connell was at one time de-
Tending a man accused of murder at
Clonnel. Tho circumstautial evidence
was so strong against the prisoner that
the jury had already determined upon
their verdict of guilty, when the man
supposed to be murdered was brought
into court, alive and unhurt. The jury
was desired to return their verdict at
once, and they did so, but it was one Of
Guilty" "What does this meanY' in
quired the judge; eff the man has not
been murdered how can the prisoner be
guilty." "Please, yer honor" said the
foreman, ''hc's guilty; he stole my bay

Consequently They We're So Busily En-
gagged They Pissed Their Station.
There was an amusing and instructive
scene the other day in an uptown train
on the Sixth avenue elevated. At Park
plne u handsome young couple, evident
ly very much in love, got ON one of the
middle cars, and settling down in cross
seat they proceeded without delay to be-
como absorbed in one another, not pay
ing the slightest heed to any one else in
tho car. All tho passengers watched
them with good natured interest, even
the small boy in tho corner, who had
been deeply absorbed in the delights of q
tuppenny dreadful.
Station after station flew by, oil u,l-
needed rs far as the lovemakers were
concerned, and the stalwart Adonis' arm
had just settled comfortably about the
waist of his demuro companion when
shc suddenly gave little feminine
shrek and made q frantic break for the
door. Everybody was startled, no one
moro than tho young man, who in
stinctively attempted to hold her. back.
But she only jerked herself away, and
the onlookers could see that the express
sion of undying love ON her features had
given way to look of the most pro-
nounced vexation Us she turned ON her
companion with the remark:
"Now, knew you'd do it. And 1 was
80 anxious to be on time. Don't make
matters worse by sitting there, but let
us get off before we arc carried any fur
ther."
"But this isn't our station" expostu-
lated tho young man in astonishment.

it, We should havo gotten off at Fifty.

"Well, we haven't reached there YET
"Of course we have, stupid Come ON
before tho train starts up again or I'll
go alone. Don't you SEQ this is Eighty
first?"
Nonsense" exclaimed the Adonis,
getting excited in his turn.
''It isn't nonsense! Don't you see
there, 'Eighty-first' in big white letters7r
There it was, sure enough; but even
as everyone looked, and tho young man
started hastily to gather up some bum
dies that were on the seat beside him,
tho train started, and change came
over the expression of the bride-for
bride sho certainly was. From vexa-
tious flush, tho color on her face changed
toa dark crimson blush of cnbarrsss-
ment, which grew deeper as the unfeel-
ing wretch by her side burst into loud
laugh, i'll which all the passengers Joined.
The bride didn't say another word, but
simply made her way hurriedly into the
forward car, followed closely by her
sturdy companion, who was trying in,
vain to look serious. The little woman
had been fooled by tho mirror between
the seats, which rejecting tho station
sign from the platform, had turned the
figures around, making 81 out of 49,

Koch found that certain bodies, such as
volatile oils, and certain metallic salts,
such as nitrate of silver and preparations
of gold, even in very small doses a to

bacilli of consumption in a very short

discovered that will cure the disease by
destroying the bacilli without injury to

10 leave them day or night.
Their food and clothing were scauty and

by rain OF an occasional sea washing over.

Taking these slaves from the full number

about equalize the numbers on each side.
Ali Pacha, an eminent Turkish seafghter,

and the destruction Of his feet was the con-

Gasoline BATHS for Fur Canes.

"What shall do with my fur capep an

and there have been moths in my friend ward
robe, for first / found one little bare place in
my cape where there ought to have been fur,
and now there is another, and / am in despair"
1T is useless to try to find moths IN fur
cape" was the druggists answer " take a big
bottle OF gasoline and saturate your cape with
it, Then roll it up in paper for day or two,
and you will find no more bare spots unless
you 20 visiting and hang it in the same ward
robe"
"But am 80 afraid of gasoline"
ayes, it is dangerous, when used earelesslyS
but if you treat your cape to its gasoline bath
in o room without fire and with open Win-
dows, you are entirely safe, except from ths
Odor there is no escaping that for a few hours
at least"
Gasoline seems TO be about the only remedy
which can be applied with dispatch and Icera
tain effect when moths are discovered invading
a valuable fur garment and in this season OF
fur it is we'll to bear the remedy in mind.
Surely fuTs were never so fashionable as now;
and if you would be in style, at least one fur
garment must be found in your wardrobe.

sailed forth 10 assert the dominion of the
seas.
Two years later the Yenetians were COM
PEELED 10 seek peace on terms that sounded
as II the Turks had gained the battle Of
Lepanto and it was only by good luck and
experienced backing that Don John pre-
vented them from SO doing. The leaders of
the Allies were the best tacticians, but the
Turks were the best seamen, and the dis
parity in killed and wounded was due 10
the fact that the Allies were superior in the
use Of firearms, while large part Of the
Turks were armed with the bow. The YES
sells Of the Allies were better constructed and
stronger than the Turks, and were better
armed and equipped. The scientific method
in which Don John formed his fleet for bat
tie in three lines abreast was better than
the single inverted crescent Of the Turks, but
the serious mistakes made in seamanship
came near losing him the day.
In the FIRST place, Don John should have
assumed and maintained the offensive, es-
pecially so when divine inteTposition had
