One Way of Doing Good.

Mrs. William D. Sutphin, CT 115 Hall
street, Brooklyn, has organized all the lit
tie boys and girls of her neighborhood
into society called "The Little Gems of
Brooklyn" Every Sunday afternoon she
has apples and seed cakes on her parlnr
table, and the Gems collect about her with
written reports of the needy cases that
have been relieved or found during the
week. Frequently the mites of charity
are accompanied by waits who are intro
duced to the society, and, satisfied that the
case is deserving one, the Gems scatter,
and reappear in less than no time, as a
visitor once observed, with something
worthy of acceptance. Shoes, clothing,
books, medicine, bandage and court plas-
ter, soap and food are among the gifts so
sweetly offered by children to children.
Parlor concerts, games and entertainments
are given, to which the parents and friends
are admitted for a small fee and the pro-
ceeds devoted to some worthy cause of
public interest. At the time of the Johns
town disaster these good little midgets
sent $685. the earnings of many days of
labor. They have bought hundreds of
loaves of bread, given away as many pairs
of shoes and stockings, and at Christmas
time they bought ever so many nice din
ners with the contents of their savings
banks.-Neoo York World.

BUT HE sHOULDERED THE HOT STOVE AND
SOLD IT FOR A QUARTER.
Henry Devlin, plumbers laborer, lives
with his wife Louisia and eight children
in the tenement at 234 Johnson street,
Brooklyn. Devlin is worthless indlvld'
ual and has spent most of his time TO,
years in neighboring rumshops. His
family has been taken care of for q long
time by kind hearted neighbors. Devlin
hasn't put in days work this year. TO
obtain money for drink he has carried the
household furniture piecemeal to pawn
shops until about all there was left in his
wife's apartments was an old-fashioned
stove He entered the house one after
noon beastly drunk. His wife and the
poorly clad little ones were clustered
around table eating very modest meal
that family on the floor below had pro-
vided them with. Devlin staggered up to
the stove iu which a bright fire was burn
ing, and, knocking down the stovepipe,
dumped the contents of the stove and
shovelled them into scuttle. He then
shouldered the still hot stove, carried it
down stairs and sold it for % cents. Five
minutes later the money was exchanged
for whisky. Mrs. Devlin thought it was
about time to have her husband arrested.
A charge of assault committed upon his
wife day or two previous, was added to
the complaint of intoxication, and the
Justice sentenced the prisoner to the peni-
tentiary for year.

Might Marry Without Knowing It.

An alarming view of possible matrimonv
is that of small boy, Clifford by name,
whose home is in Avondale. This child
seems to be wonderfully precocious, and
as an indication of originality of thought
he scared into comparatively new field
for children. "What is it to get married,
mammaf" he asked. "Never mind, Cliff
ford," answered his mother wait until
you grow to be man and then you'll un-
derstand what it is to get married. u
"Well, don't want to wait that long,
replied the little questioner, ss look of
suspense shot across his face and tears
stood in his eyes. "What if | should get
married before l understood about it?
Now, what could that mother do but take
the boy in her arms, pillow his head on
her shoulder, calm his infantile fears
about marriage, while she mentally regis
tered the opinion that if the coming man
should marry before he knew what he
was doing it would be calamity sure
enough.-CinclnnatS Times Star.

Not Always a Desert.

Cargoes of bones are being collected on
the desert of Sahara and shipped to New
York Just as buffalo bones have been
gathered on our Western prai1ies for many
years. They are ground up and used for
fertilizers. The interesting query at once
presents itself as to what particular time,
more or less remote, those localities on the
great African desert where these bones
were found were covered with verdure
sufficiently luxurious to produce the food
which gave sustenance to the animals
whose bones are now being gathered. In
Africa the caravans have followed the
same old trail for centuries, and until the
military campaigns of the last few years
disclosed fertile spots and oases which
were previously unknown, the whole vast
region was supposed to be an arid waste
of shifting sand. Explorations may yet
discover that as large portion of the AT
rican desert is arabic as of the CT deDant
American desert. Assuredly it must st
one time have been well clothed with YER
dure to have harbored the immense num-
Der of animals represented by these
numerous collections of bones.-Amer'acGa1

A Hint for Young Girls.

When your sweetheart comes to see you
don't be foolish enough to confne your
sweetness to him alone. Have him ID
where all the rest of the household are
Let the talk and the chatter and the music
and the playing of games be in the home
circle. Then the few minutes that he gets
with you by yourself will seem all the
more delightful, and he will think you
the most loving little creaturein in the world.
Men are much more observant than they
are credited with being, and the man
worth having as husband is the one who
will appreciate your love for those of your
own people, and will see that as you make
a small part in one home, you are becom-
ing adapted for the central figure in an
other.
Never say that you don't expect 8 man
to marry your whole family. It's vulgar.
You do. That is. If you are good
daughter and loving sister. You want
him to be one with you in sympathy and
affection, and as you take his name, so
YOU assume responsibilities as far as his
people are concerned. You two ara the
most to each other-your love for each
should be the greatest-but you cannot
isolate yourselves and insist that you nave
no duties outside your own home. Il you
| do this you become narrow and selfish,
and you are too nice a girl for that. 30
remember when he comes, this bridegroom
| of yours, that his heart is bound the tighter
| to you if the ribbon used to hold 1t has
written upon it In golden letters, '.Love
and consideration for those at home. =

Chicago's First White Child.

Hampton, Ia, is the present home of
the first white child born in Chicago, or,
rather, on the site of the present city.
Sarah Jane Harris was born in old Fort
Dearborn on the 11th of January, 1882,
She was the daughter of Benjamin and
Sarah Jane Harris, who located at Fort
Dearborn in the spring of 1881, being
driven into the fort by the Indians. They
came originally from york State" going
down the kankakee river in a canoe to
Hennepin, from Hennepin back to Ottawa
and from Ottawa to Fort Dearborn. Dur
ing the summer and fall of 1881 Mrs.
Harris did washing for some of the few
families at the fort, among them being
Thomas Hartsell, an old bachelor, who
kept small trading post there at that
time. In 1888 the family left Fort Dear
born and subsequently lived at different
points in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, the
father, Benjamin Harris, dying at Water

time in the army as q member of the IA

man of considerable reputation as wag
A couple were anxious to be married, and
as there was no minister at hand, they
waited upon Mr.. Thomas, who as mag
istrate, was authorized to perform the
marriage ceremony.
He was busy writing as they entered,
but paused to inquire what they wanted.
Addressing himself to the man, he asked
if he wished to take that woman for q
wife, and turning to the woman, he in
quired whether she wished to take that
man for her husband. Then he went on
with his writing.
The parties sat still and waited until
their patience was exhausted. Finally
the man ventured to interrupt Mr. {.
Thomas, and tell him they were in great
hurry.
"Why don't you 60 along. then2" an
swered the judge.
"But we want to get married first. ;"
"Married You have been married more
IL an half an hour"
He explained the requirements of the
law, and the couple withdrew, not without
some misgivings, it is to be feared, ss to
the validity of ceremony so unceremoni-
ously performed. They certainly had
been married in haste, but there is nc
record that they repented at leisure

Goose IN the ulpit.

The wild goose is q pattern Of sagacity,
but the domestic goose is an emblem OF
stupidity. It's name in several languages
is a term of reproach, and scarcely any
one makes it pet, though it's owner pam
pers it for his own ends. Mr.. Gretton, in
'sMemory's Harkback, tells how the de-
sire to make something off goose once
prevented service in church.
In a parish, not far from Cambridge
University, the fellows of colleges used to
hold service every fortnight. A fellow,
who had gone by mistake Sunday too
soon, found no preparation for service.
He hunted up the clerks wife, and she
told him it was the wrong Sunday, but he,
as he had come from Cambridge, suggested
that she should ring the bell and call the
people to worship.
The old lady made score of objections
no one would come, and SO forth. The
clergyman stuck TO his point; he would
have service.
Then, driven to explain, the old woman
said that the goose was sitting on her nest
in the pulpit, and would be off by the fol
towing, which was the proper, Sunday

Power of the Diviniug Rod.

With girlish curiosity, we tried our pow
ers with the rod. In my hands, it re-
mained simply the peach tree switch it
was, but when my youngest sister grasped
it, it seemed to become q thing of life,
and she Immediately retraced the vein of
water.
Years afterward, when was in home
of my own, and wanted well near the
kitchen, if water could be found there,
she traced a water vein for me, and right
where the stake was driven, there is now
a well sixty-six feet deep. In another
lot, still hi CHER up, well was dug to the
same vein seventy five feet below the sur.
face. The rod used in finding my well
was cut from an oak sapling.
A gentleman who was a skeptic on the
subject watched her closely while she was
finding my well. Finally he caught hold
of the ends of the rod and tried to hold it
still, but found he could not do it without
making it take the skin off her hands, so

His TOUGHEST Battle.

The first marriage ceremony I ever per-
formed was one of the best examples of
bashfulness l ever saw. The groom,
man about thirty years old, came to my
house in company with well known bus
mess man, and, after considerable beating
about the bush, asked me if I could marry
him to the woman of his choice. Upon
my giving an affirmative answer, his friend
retired, leaving the groom to persplre'
stammer, and act generally. like green
school boy. Presently the friend reap
peared with the bride, and, after the usual
preliminary questions, took their places
before me- The bride was entirely self
possessed, but the groom was, to use
popular expression of to-day, badly "rat-
lied" The instant had ended the prayer
which completed the ceremony, the groom
drew long breath, straightened himself
and remarked frankly 'Ive been through
twenty three or twenty-four battles, but
this has been the toug hest lest ever had" :"

Gum-Chewers' Teeth.

The chewing gum habit is looked upon
favorably by some dentists and by all deal
ers in dental su pplies; by the latter be-
cause chewing gum is being sold as tooth
cleansing agent. Chewing-gum is sup
posed to aid digestion, for the increase in
saliva is usually retained in the system in
contradistinction to tobacco chewing, in
which case it is expectorated. It has also
been claimed that the constant use of
chewing gum prevents sea-sickness, and
some think thst it benefits sufferers from
lung troubles, although by such the pure
spruce gum only should be selected. Gum
chewing is liable to enlarge the muscles
which control the movements of the lower
jaw, thereby changing, possibly for the
better, both the contour and the express
sion of the face. If the gum be pure | see
nothing in the habit to condemn except
its vulgarjty, as 1t has no effect upon the
teeth beyond that already stated-Epoch

Boils and Carbuncles.

1t seems strange that any one will suf-
fer with boils, carbuncles, ETC., when DR..
Bulls Sarsaparilla will certainly prevent
all such eruptive tendencies. 1t is sure
and safe antidote for blood poison arising
from whatever source, and it's use when
needed should not be unnecessarily de-
layed. Thousands who found extensively
advertised blood medicines to have no ETH
cacy whatever are rejoicing in the fact
that Bulls Sarsaparilla is an exception,
and that good health invariably follows it's
use. syphilitic and scrofulous symptoms
disappear, the skin becomes clear and free
from pimples, the digestion is improved,
aches and pains cease, the weight of the
body becomes greater, the flesh more solid,
Lucrative and consumptive tendencies dis
appear, the power of endurance increases,
weakness, dizzy spells and unnatural
fatigue vanish in word, the user OF
Bulls Sarsaparilla becomes picture OF
good health and strength. Try 1t. Use
no other.-Ddyton EnQu6rer.
