Mr.. Wanamaker's Fountain.

The Postmaster General tells this
story concerning himself:
When Bethany Sunday-school was
being built few years ago, the trus-
trees found that they needed more
money than they had at first supposed:
The building was going up In good
shape, but at one Of their meetings
they discovered that they had made no
provision for the ventilation for the
main room. All the people who had
given were discussed. and it was de-
cided that they could not be called up
on again. There was only one man. .
wealthy marble dealer. who had re-
fused aid, and no one had the courage
TO attack him, as he was not only
miserly but violent At last Mr.. Wan.
amaker, who was one Of the trustees,
offered to go in person to the marble
dealer and present a picture OF chill
dren suiTocating in Sunday school for
need of air. He went to the old gen.
tleman's office. which was in his mar
BILE yard, and as he passed in he mo-
ticed a twelve-foot iron basin, which
in former days had been fine fountain,

founded it would be populated In less

nen. The man has nothing to do with
the affair. Like Mariana in the moated
grange. he merely sits and waits.
II the young lady feels stealing Der
her fancy for a particular young
man, she does not pine away in "a
green and yellow melancholy" But
she buckles on the armor Of her affec-
tions and sallies out like conquering
hero. To drop SMILES and come down
to matter-of-fact language, the young
woman. when she falls in love with
some young man. without delay dis
closes to him the true condition Of her
feelings. Does he love her? Then the
marriage ceremony is arranged with
out delay. Does he not love herp Then
the love-sick damsel plants herself in
his residence and announces that she
will stay there until q revolution shall
come in his feelings. The young man
is helpless, because the friends Of tho
young woman will avenge any affront
that the young man shall offer to her.
But he Is not compelled by either
law or custom to endure her presence
for ever. When he becomes tired oil
the attentions Of the lovelorn lass he
can pick up his lares and. penates and
move out When the affair reaches
this climax it is equivalent to an.
nouncement that the young man posi-
lively will not wed.

The Brass Mule Cure.

A traveller recently returned from
Peking, tells us, says the North China
Medical Journal, that he saw a method
Of cure which may be new to some
Of our readers. In temple outside
one Of the city gates is to be found q
brass mule OF life size, supposed to
have wonderful healing properties.
Patients suffering from every imagina-
BILE disease seek this temple to obtain q
cure. The method pursued Is ~ fol-
lows. Suppose you suffer from sciat-
lea, you go with all speed to this ia
nous temple. and having discovered
the particular part of the brass mule
corresponding to the painful region of
your own body, you must rub the ami
NAL 4 certain number OF times and then
with the same hand shampoo your own
disabled member, and then-well, then
the pain goes.
The special feature of this method Of
cure ID its delightful simplicity. Is
your tooth aching? just scrub the
mules teeth and afterward your own,
and VOLTA! the cure is complete. Have
you an ulcer OF the cornea? Pass the
tips Of your fingers to and fro over the
particular eyeball Of the mule. and
then with well regulated pressure rub
repeatedly the afflicted eye.
The mule has unhappily lost his sight
during the many years he has been en-.
gagged in his benevolent work, the eye
balls. we are told, having been grsdnal-
ly worn away, as the result of constant
friction. until now you have only the
empty orbits to operate upon.
The animal is patched In all direc.
to cover holes produced by the con-
slant friction Of eager patients, and a
new. perfectly whole mule stands
ready at hand, awaiting the day when
his colleague, having fallen to pieces
in the temple, shall give him an OPP
portunity Of likewise benefting pos
terity.

Duck-IIcgged Dudes.

A couple of duck-legged dudes got
Into Brock street car the other day
and broke the rules Of the company
and insulted ladies in the car by filling

smoke. An old negro woman carrying
a bundle got into the car at Second
street aud was about to take her seat.
when she looked around and. cycling

smoke away from in front OF her face
with her open b"nd and said: Say,

Pillows Made Of Love Letters.

The latest device of girlhood is .
fancy for stuffing pillows with their old
love letters. There is one thing about
the contents of these pillows that can
be depended upon with a marked de-
gree of certainty-they are sure to be
soft. Now, the question naturally
arises. must the pillows be stuffed with
letters from . single person, or may
missives from John and Jack and Al
gernon be tumbled promiscuously in
togetherp Is 1t a test of loyalty that
when once girl really falls in love, or
thinks she does. she discard from her
pillow all the letters save those Of the
object Of her deepest afIectionp And
how does marriage affect the fate of
the pillowa Do husbands enjoy hav-
ing their wives faces buried in mass
of soft nothings that other men have
written to them? And what dreams
may come, and what skinny. fat little
pillows some poor girls must have; but
how nice it is for the men to reflect
that their adored ones slumoer softly
on their words of love.

Tho Philosophy OF an Infidel.

A most remarkable deathbed scene
took place In Vienna some time ago.
The hero OF 1t was young professor
at the university there. He was man
of great brilliancy and learning. His
lectures concerning the inner life Of
the soul were famous among the
students, vino visited them in crowds.
He was regarded by his fellow profess
sors in the philosophical faculty as the
coming man in the department OF
psychology. Socially. also. lie was a
man of considerable prominence. He
had married into a wealthy family, and
took every opportunity to get for his
wife and three children all the pleasure
which the gay Austrian Capital affords.
At the theater, on the promenade. and
at the great court balls he was one Of
the most familiar figures.
Four years ago he fell i'll Of IN in.
durable disease and his physician
warned him that only radical change
from his gay mode OF life could hinder
for short time the progress Of the
malady. The young professor an
swered quietly that he would die as a
philosopher should die. without an ef-
fort to defer his last day. He ate.
drank. studied, lcctured, and danced
exactly as he did before the doctor
warned him. A few weeks ago he lay
down on bis deathbed. He read the
same books and talked OF the same
frivolous amusements as usual up to
one evening recently. Ats o'clock the
