Anarchists in New York.

I attended the first meeting of the
Radical club at Cooper institute the other
evening. 1t is composed of Anarchists,
Socialists, ,Nationalists and Henry George
followers. 1t is founded for all liberal
and advanced thinkers, and its members
expect great things from it. had
always supposed that Anarchists and
Socialists wore long hair, soiled linen
and smelled horribly. confess was
surprised to see the we'll dressed men
and women who crowded the room.
Tall silk hats gave me q distinct shock,
and rosebud boutonnieres in lapels of
fashionably cut coats made my eyes open
very wide. I was amazed when two
dudish young men with pompadoured
heads and waxen mustaches We're pointed
out to me as fiery and bloodthirsty An
archists, and one heavy swell of the club.

when he walked up to the woman treas
urer and, presenting his card with his
best Fifth avenue bow, asked to be per-
mitted to pay his entrance fee.
l noticed especially the presence of
young men. There was row after row
of young, intelligent, earnest taces.
Eager, too, and interested. There was
none of the vacuity of expression, the
listlessness, the ennui which is to be seen
on Fifth avenue. Whatever their doc
trines, they believe in them thoroughly
and are going to promulgate them though
the heavens fall.-New York Cor. Chi

A Ministerial Joke.

Ministers like their little jokes as well
as any one else. Chaplain Wharton, of
the Grand Army of the Republic tor the
state of Wisconsin, is no exception, and
he perpetrated one while ago which
acted as a boomerang; it came back and
hit him hard. 1t was at some great
G. A. R. affair, where speeches were
being made, and one speaker desired to
refer to the incident mentioned in the
Bible where some one tied the tails of
two hares together. The speaker was at
a loss to remember who this pen>On was,
and he asked the chaplain. With faco
as sober as a judge, that gentleman said
it was Goliah. The speaker Went on
with his talk and made his reference,
speaking Goliah's name in all confidence
Some one behind pulled his coat tail and
said in Il whisper: sit was not Goliath;
it was Absalom. This rather knocked
him ont for a moment, but quickly re-
covering he said: "Well, there appears
to be n littlo discrepancy about who it
was that tied the hares' tails together.
AS was not sure about it myself Went
to Chaplain Wharton, thinking lie should
be authority on the matter, and he told
me it was Goliah." This so completely
turned the laugh upon the chaplain that
the speaker got back his composure and
finished his remarks in good STYLE

The Japnnese Fire BOX.

The hibachi is q fire box, of which the
simplest form is that of square, or cir
cular, or oblong receptacle of wood,
lined with sheet copper. Into this a
quantity of lime dust or sifted ashes is
put, and on tho top of that a little pile of
lighted charcoal, which burns slowly
and steadily upon the fine ashes, giving
out heat, but not vestige of smoke.
This is the primitive and plainest form
of the "tire box" such as will be seen in
use for common purposes at railway sta
tions, in Kuruma sheds, in wayside tea
houses and restaurants and in unpreten-
tious shops. But Japanese skill and
taste love to lavish themselves on this
central piece Of domestic furniture, and
you SEQ hibachis, accordingly, of all
forms and materials. Some are made of
hammered copper, or brass, or iron, with
patterns delicately and beautifully beaten
out of the FURNISHED metal. Some have
seen In great houses contrived from the
root Of vast tree, tho gnarled and knot
ted timber being laboriously followed
out and lined with copper, and the ex
terror carefully polished to bring forth
the beauty of the grain.-Cor. London

An Electric Brake for Trains.

A new electric train brake works upon
the inside face of the wheels, or rather
upon an iron disk fitted to it. The disl,
or annular ring is a large plate of iron of
considerable thickness and several inches
in depth, and is securely bolted to the
inner side of the wheel. Opposite thisring
is another, which encircles tho axle
loosely and is fixed by stays in such q
manner that it cannot revolve with the
wheel, but can be removed laterally SO
as to come in contact with or recede
from the ring attached to the wheel. 1t
is attached to powerful magnetic coils
and constitutes large electromagnetic.
When the electric current i3 applied to
it it is powerfully attracted to the plate
on the wheel, with the effect of arresting
its revolution and SO acting as brake

Jamaica's Great Exhibition.

The Jamaica exhibition, which is to be
opened by Prince George of Wales about
Christmas, bids fair to be very great
success. Our North American squadron
is then to be at Kingston, as we'll as a
United States squadron, and also several
ships Of war belonging to Franco, Ger
many, Russia, Denmark and Italy. The
Americans intend to be large exhibitors.
This exhibition, of which Sir Henry
Blake was the original promoter, is cx-
citing enthusiastic interest in Jamaica,
and it seems likely to be of great and
lasting benefit to the island by encourag-
ing the development of natural indus
tries and natural resources, which have
been comparatively neglected since the
ruin of the old West India Interest" by
the emancipation of the slaves.-London

Mind Your Own Business.

Keep your mind on your share of the
work; donot try to manage for the whole
firm. remember q man who used to
amuse me very much. He never earned
moro than SIS a week until he had passed
80 years of age, and during his married
life his wife had earned more than he
had. Yet he would grow intensely ex-
cited because a large and exceedingly
prosperous corporation would not adopt
his plans, though his connection with it
was paying his fare as passenger on its
cars. The firm employing him would,
if managed by him, grow wealthy in a
year, he insisted. Still the firm dispensed
with his valuable services and were able
to conduct business. That man had been
so busy all his business life planning
affairs with which he had no connection
that he really had no time to think of his
personal work. He was not lazy, but he
did not know enough to mind his own
business.-Christian Union.

A Bull with Two Mouths.

A large number of persons visited
Samuel Gugenleim's abattoir, at Forty
sixth street and First avenue, to see u nat
ural curiosity in the shape of Il full grown
black and white bull having two separate
mouths, each containing teeth. The an
imal is 4 years old, weighs about 700
pounds, and was raised on a farm near
Yonkers by Mr.. Robinson. The second
mouth hangs from the dewlap, half way
between the base of the jaw and the
shoulder. 1t is pouch shaped, seven
inches long, five inches wide and has an
opening OF mouth in the bottom about
four inches across. In this mouth are
nostrils and several well developed
teeth. The animal breathes and drinks
through both mouths and eats with the
upper one. The head is we'll shaped,
and the only other peculiarities are a
double right shoulder, with the shoulder
blade extending to the line of the back
bone, and a double jointed left fore leg.
The bull is gentle and is in the best Of
condition.-New York Tribune.

Judging by tho Label.

'What queer pumpkin! looks more
like squash, don't it," remarked one
Lewiston woman to her visitor, lately.
''That's just what l thought" replied
the other, letting her work drop into her
lap. II looked and looked at my can,
but it was labeled Pumpkin and so I
supposed it must be pumpkin and made
pumpkin pies of it; but Tom declared
they were queer pumpkin pies" "Well,
it says pumpkin and I believe-why, see
here!' Her little girl had torn off the
outside paper and on that next the can
was picture Of a squash, and under
meath: "This squash, etc." Henceforth
these women put no more confidence in
labels. And perhaps when Tom gets
over saying. "queer pumpkin pies" one
of them will feel more kindly disposed
towards the manufacturer whose squash
is pumpkin if pumpkin will sell better.

A FooTMAN's LOVE.
An Honest Scotcllman Loses His Heart to
the Daughter of His Master.


Here is another absolutely true love
story. A citizen of the Murray Hill
stamp was asked by a valued footman for
a private interview. When by them
selves in the library tho gentleman, at
tentive and waiting, was surprised to see
Donald's honest face, which topped feet
2 of sturdy Scotch Drawn, paling and
flushing like a girls, while he vainly
tried to speak.
"Maister," he gaspel, at last, II ma,ln
gang AVA the morrow"
Donald, my man, you don't mean you
wish to leave my service? Are you not
satisfied with your wages and your privi-
leges?'
Tho saints in heaven couldna find
fault, sir; but J. maun gang awa'.
II cannot let you go, Donald, without
a good cause. What are your reasons for
wishing to go?'
"Oh, master" the poor fellow groaned,
with an effort, "the bonny lassie, Miss
Bessle-l Gamma, Gamma stay, sir!'
Miss Bessie, man! Has Miss Bessie
treated you unkindly? would not sup
pose it possible"
"Na, na, sir" and then by much prod
ding OF the reluctant man it transpircd
that Donald had lost his heart to tho 10
year-old daughter of his employer and
felt i'll honor bound to leave tho house.
docs my daughter know this? Have
you spoken to her? Why, Bessie is only
achild, you rascal!' exclaimed the father,
in rising passion.
"NIiss Bessies ma BARN, sir; Miss Bes-
sic is an angel!" declared Donald, with a
vague impression that in speaking of the
angels age is never mentioned; "but she
dunnat knaw puir Donald's heart-she
dunnat knaw."
ooh, come, my man, this is too silly.
don't want to lose you and you don't
want to throw up good place. Con-
found it all, this is preposterous!"
$50 it is, sir" assented Donald, hum
bly,, "but oh, master. yestere'en when
Miss Bessie came from her drive in the
park her fut slipped on tho step-I
caught her-oh, maister," with u dra-
matte gesture toward his broad chest.
'she do have sick cen, and sick a fut! I
maun gang awa'."
And go he did. The morning after
ward Miss Bcssie's maid found a small
box at her mistress door, addressed in a
painful scrawl. Tho wondering Miss
Bessie found that it contained a bunch
of Scotch heather and gold ring-a
plain band engraved with o thistle, Scot
lands national emblem. That day poor
Donald sailed in tho Caledonia carrying
his wounded, honest heart back to the
"auld countree. CLARA Belles New

A Problem,

A correspondent is going crazy over
this problem:
"Did you go to the circus?" some one
inquired of him on Thursday morning.
"No," he replied; "there was too much
of a crowd and l hate crowds. If only
one-third of the people went that go
now I'd 90 myself"

never occur to You that the majority are
like you are, and if only one-third as
many Went as go now, ten times as
many would go as go now? See:'
He didn't exactly see, but he caught
faint glimmer, and trying to see is what
is now unsettfing his mental balance

WAIT ING.


From dawn to n;shtf,!in at her window sitting,
She waits, while drift the heavy liorrS away,
And, like the swallows, all her thoughts 20 fit
ting
To that sweet south wherein they fan would
stay.
Yet, all day long she listens for his coming.
All the long day she dreams Of one dear face;
She hears his whisper in the bees low humming,
She feels his kisses in the winds embrace.
Lonely she dreams, while tho warm sunshine
fingers
Upon her face, her pallid face, yet fair;
Alone sits sobbing, while with silver fingers
The moonbeams thread her soft, llnbr.;tled hair.
All, heavy heart! SO passionate its ycarIing,
She needs must know that all her peace is oer;
That eager pain meath her white bosom burning,
Tells her tbs gone, to enter there no more.
But once to feel, unchecked, his fond caressins.
One wild, sweet hour, close to his heart to press.
There her thought stops; what else of bliss or
blessing
The great world holds, she does not care to
guess.
Still at her window dreaming, longing, weeping,
While to their mates the gray doves COO and
call,
She leans, and watches the slow clouds go creep

Far down the blue, beyond the city wall

Whore VIII ueaxen neo

How about tho location of the per-
manent heaven, the resting place of the
saved? Whore will it be located, on this
earth or in the skies above? We read, l
Thess. iv, 10-17, that tho Lord will de-
scend from heaven and res,llrect the
righteous, and also catch up the living
holy ones, and that altogether they will
meet the Lord in the air. By reading
Rev. Xxx, SO, we also learn that that
will be the first resurrection, and that
they the 1ighteous) will live and reign
with Christ 1000 years. According to
the Bible this 1000 years is all the time
the saints will occupy the realms of the
air.
When this 1000 years expires, how
ever, the "City of God," with the saints,
comes down upon the earth and the
second resurrection, that of the wicked,
will take place. AS these demons-elect
come forth from their graves they will
see the beloved city, and go up and ell
compass it; and (Rev. Xxx, 81 fire will
pour down upon and utterly destroy
them. The same fire which destroys the
wicked purifies and renovates the earth,
and this globe in its redeemed state, if
the accounts above cited arc to be taken
as conclusive, will become the home of
the saved throughout the ccascless ages
of eternity.-St. Louis Republic
