A sTAMMERING MANS WOE.
He Offended a Hasty Man and the Latter
Used His Fist.

Used His Fist.
Lewiston Journal.l
The hasty man takes as natural to mis-
takes as the cuckoobird to the nests OF its
neighbors. remember one winter q speci-
men of this class was driving along a mar
row road, a little out of Jackson village,
when he came to an impossible drift. The
day was bitter cold, the man was in an un-
paralleled hurry, and, of course, frantically
exasperated at the unavoidable delay, al
though Nature had done her best to prepare
him for Just such an event by wrapping him
in 200 pounds or so of flesh, and covering his
head and chest with a mating of thick
faxen hair. The brswny farmers, leisurelJ
working out their taxes on the highway.
thrust their shovels into the drift and
brought up block after block of snow, clean
cut as cheese, varying their motions not one
iota under the fire OF the traveller 5 unreason-
able wrath.
Al last the road was opened and the leader
of the crew, who, it happened, had an m
pediment in his speech, gave wave Of his
red-mittened hand, saying cheerily:
'HT-t to 'headl to head"
With terrific oath the traveller bounced
out of his sleigh and leveled an unmerciful
blow at the stammerer's nose.
'I'll teach you to call me a towheadP' he
shouted, while the blood boiled in his
cheeks. "Call me towhead, if you darel
Say it again, if you dare, you lantern
jawed, rabbit-eyed old"
At this point of the hasty mans eloq1encs,
the friends of the astonished st6mnerer
stepped up and translated his unfortunate
words into the simple command =. Ego
ahead" This the graceless Saxon rs' quite
ready to do. He was in a gre2s. hurry
than ever. He even forgot to apologize for
his mistake; but springing iuto his sleigh,
he gave cut at his horse. and lodged out
through the driit into the village. The
farmers laughed, and the puzzled stammerer
silently reflected upon the unjust happen
ings of this curious world.

THE AGE OF SPECULATION.

How a Quiet.LoviuK Citizen Fared at the
Hnnas of the Small Boy.
Detroit Free Press.]
A boy or years old, whose parents live
on Third avenue. was beating drum in the
alley, when a neighbor appeared and asked:
"How much did your father pay for that
drum, sonny?"
"Two shillings, sir"
"Will you take dollar for it ?"
"Yes, sir, ma said she hoped I'd sell it
for ten cents"
The exchange was made and the drum
put where it wouldn't do any more good,
and the neighbor chuckled over his strata
gem. However, when he got home at night
there were four drums beating in front OF
his house. and the drummer boy was prompt
to inform him:
''These are my cousins, and took that
dollar and bought four new drums. Do you
want to give us 81 for them?'
The neighbor bowed to the inevitable and
retired.

THE EVIL OF PIN-MONEY.
Any Woman Who Doesn't Like to Explain
Expenditures Needs Care.

Expenditures Needs Care.
Mrs. Emily Selinger, the artist, wields a
bright and ready pen, and is, therefore,
known in the world of letters as we'll as the
world of art. She is a painter of flowers,
and this is the picture of home life she
draws:
1t is sad fact that in America, where the
equality of the sexes in all conditions of life
has come to be a recognized fact where the
husband is not the lordly Turk nor the wife the
cringing slave, a term like pin money! should
still be extant 1t is term of which the sig
nihcance is so much a remnant OF barbarism
that in this day. under the existing feliciJous
conditions of domestic economy it should have
become obsolete long ago.
If from the day when a man and woman
enter into the compact of marriage, the primal
thought of each were for mutual interest In
all Its intricate minutiae, the question of pin
money" could never arise. The husband would
always make provision for all expenditures
made by the wife in proportion to his income;
the wife would never spend the means thus
generously bestowed in any way unapproved of
by the husband.
The model husband of to-day-and the ma
jority is large-too often gives his wife more
than he can afford, and she too often frtters
away what remains over and above necessities
or comforts, in absolutely foolish and useless
expenditures. 1 am sorry to own to the dis
credit of my sex, that more than half of the
trouble about 'pin money" arises from the de-
sire on the part of the wife to possess money to
spend in ways which she knows to be unwise.
She Acknowledges this by her demand for a
certain supply, and her indignation if her hus-
band inquiries into her needs If her purpose for
expenditure is honorable.sh would never hesI-
tate for a moment to state her wants, her needs,
yes. and even her pleasures, and the husband,
if he be equally frank, would not hesitate to
give freely what he can afford. But where trust
is abused suspicion is ever on the alert.
i know hundreds of families in which am
sure the subject of pin money! has never
been discussed, because the father gives with
a Just if not generous hand.
For the eradication of an evil, one must re-
vert to its inception. The girl who is taught
by the greatest preceptor OF the world-the
mother-to be honest, economical, thoughtful;
the boy who is brought up to be generous, kind
and tender, will never when married have op-
portunity to discuss the disagreeable subject Of
min rnoneyn

WHY IT WAS BLANK.

The Arizona Kicker Mau Makes nm Exp1a-
nation About a Death Notice.
The Arizona Kicker, says the Detroit Free
Press, contains the following under the
head of Explanatory"
The third column OF the second page of
this issue will be found blank. 1t is not
our fault. Colonel John Kylof, one of the
old pioneers of this town, died last week.
and his widow sent in an obituary notice
which just filled the column. We thought
it read pretty strong when we
set it up. but as the Colonel
was the third man to subscribe to
this paper and pay in advance we intended
to let it slide. The forms were all ready for
the press when a detective arrived from
Portland to identity the Colonel as a thief,
embezzler, bigamist and all-round bad man.
His PROOFS were so straight that we hadn't
the cheek to publish the obituary. We sent
bouquet to the widow with our compli-
ments, but that was the best we could do. p

What his advice meant, he replied: 81 have

''They invariably set their lips firmly to-

SMALLEST ENGINES EVER MADE.
Over n Hundred of Them wouldn't Weigh
an Ounce.

The smallest engine we have any re-
cord Of is tina, made by ID. A. Buck, OF
waterbury, Conn, says tho st. Louis
Pepnblic. The engine, boiler, governor,
and pumps all stand on a space OF 7-l6
of an inch square and are about OF an
inch high. The engine has l40 distinct
parts. held together by 81 screws. Three
drops of water fill the boiler to overflow
inc The diameter of the cylinder is
I-26 of an inch the length OF stroke 3-32
of an inch. The whole engine weighs
but 3 grains, not including base-plate.
Levi Taylor, an ingenious mechanic OF
Indianola, Ia, has constructed an engine
almost equal to tho Waterbury wonder.
This pigmy was on exhibition at the
Centennial at Philadelphia in 1876.
1t is built on a twenty-five cent gold
niece. the whole outfit weighing but a
fraction over three grains. 1t must have
been unite contrast to the enormous
Corliss engine when on exhibition IN the
same building.
Taylor's engine, while not as small rs
that made by the Waterbury mechanic,
is a wonder that will DO better appre-
ciated when the reader is informed that
it would take Jag such engines to weigh
one ounce avoirdupois.

The elder two of Emperor Williams
SONS shoy as yet little of their imperial
fathers cold and Gomineering dispos-
ton. In their friendliness they much
moro resemble their gentle grandfather,
the late Emperor Frederick. They are
ready to make comrsde OF any lad
they meet, especially if he shows lively
snd dashing spirit. At Wilhelm's Hope,
where they lately have been staying,
the Young princes have had "A particu-
larly good time, and they and their
matchless little white ponies have a
"speakiDr acquaintance with every
body.
One afternoon the two little Hohenzol-
lerns were out for a canter when they
came on a peasant lad, well mounted,
who was galloping by. The Crown
Prince Immediately touched up his
spirited little steed, and springing for
ward tried to outride the country boy,
but all in vain. The latter, with the
true spirit of Hessian independence and
with a loud shout and touch of his long
whip. so urged on his beast that he soon
shot ahead be- ond oil possibility of be-
ing overtaken by the Prince then turn
ing round he waved his cap IN the air to
the royal lads on the snowy ponies and
vanished out OF sight. Friedrich Will
helm was manly enough to take his dis
comfture in perfect good humor and
courteous enough to return the trl-
umphant salutatIon of the stranger with
smiles of admiration.
After long ride the princes were bur-
rying home, when suddenly they en-
countered an old Hessian peasant woman
carrying a monstrous collection OF dried
brushwood on her back, which so cover
ed her that her figure was scarcely to be
perceived. "Achl" exclaimed Prince
Eitel to his brother, "look yonder, Fritz
the forest is moving; there is certainly q
Marchen (fairy) here"
But as they approached nearer, the old
peasant woman, peering out beneath the
dried wood, dropped her load and stood
before the boys, her old care-worn face
all aglow, her eyes filling with tears of
loyal affection, and with her lips muir
muring endless blessings on their fan
young heads.
The boys, laughing at their childish
fears and funny mistake. begged their
attendants to bo allowed to empty their
Joint tiny purses into the trembling palm
of the poor wood-gatherer, and this done
they galloped off to the castle, having
proved themselves to be the genuine
"Marchen."
