The Kind She Wanted.

Katie lives in the suburbs Of Boston,
and her small head is not infrequently
badly mixed upon things that relate to
the difference between the ways of the
town where she lives and the ways Of
Boston. She has always a great scorn,
however, for having things different
from city fashions, and this shows itself
in the most unexpected ways.
Not long ago travelling photographer
came along and established himself not
far from her fathers house, and her
mother decided to improve the oppor-
tunity to have some pictures of the chill
dren taken.
Come, Katie" she said one morning,
after it had all been talked over before
the child, who had made no comment
whatever, Ego to nurse and get on your
things and come with baby and me to
have your tintypes taken"
But Katie drew back
'No, mamma, dear, she said, gravely;
''if you will excuse me, l won't have any
tintypes taken. I'll wait, if you please,
till you can take me to town and get a
real telegraph of me. youths Com

The Good Lived After Him.

Years ago there lived in town not
far from Portland man of property.
education, ability and good habits. He
was elected several times to the legisla-
ture, and served with credit to himself
and to his constituents. In old age
misfortune came upon him. He lost
all his property and went to live vii
his younger brother because he had no
where else to go.
But the brothers children would not
have the old man in the house, and or
dered the selectmen to remove him.
He was taken to the poor farm, and
there he died. Later these same chill
dren removed their uncle's remains to
the village cemetery, and at the head
of his grave set up a marble slab and
placed upon it this inscription:
Farewell, dear uncle, until we meet
you in Better Land. Portland Ar

The Senate has passed the House bill
which authorizes the opening to settle
ment of the Crow Indian reservation in
Montana. The proposition has been the
subject of much argument ever since the
bill was introduced by Mr.. Carter sew

the bill, about 700, 900 acres of land will
be opened up. Much of this is supposed
to contain valuable mineral deposits.
Among the lobbyists who have been at

Compressed Air ChiseI.

The compressed air chisel was first
brought into use in this country. An
improved form is now being used in Eu-
rope by stone dressers, sculptors and
metal workers. The economy of labor
compared with the hand chisel is four
CIR five fold At the same time the sur
face cut by the compressed air chisel is
cleaner and smoother than is possible

the case with granite. The new instru-

For my part l protest against all this
struggling and globe trotting. If there
was any limit or end or any legitimate
purpose to it, it might be tolerated. But
there is not. 1t is simply a return to
Vagrancy and nOmadism. The same
people who are doing all this struggling
this year will be at it again next year, or
the year after at the outside. Once the
habit is formed they never stay at home,
except for so long as suffices for neces-
sary measures of financial retrievement
Of course there is some use in travel
1t is instructive to have seen the world
and know what is in it. 1t gives the
means of making comparisons, imparts
culture and opens the eyes generally.
But these contemporary tramps of ours
have long since passed the stage Of learn
ing anything. Their notion of travel IS
rest and repairs, and to have ftn-good
things in their way, but by this genera
ton inordinately pursued. say they are
a frivolous lot-our tramps; that they try
to dodge life; that by keeping perpetu-

Value of a Passenger Train.

But few persons who view passenger
train as it goes laundering past have an
idea that it represents cash value of
from $75, 900 to $4,000, but such is the
case. The ordinary express train repre-
sents from $4,000 to 100000. The en-
CINE and tender are valued at $1O,5OO;
the baggage car, 81, 200; the postal car,
$1,000; the smoking car, $1,000; two ordi-
nary passenger cars, $4,000 each; three
palace cars, $4,000 each-total, S8S, 900.
Many of the trains which pull up to or
out from the Union depot in this city are
worth $3.50, OO0.-St. LouisRepubic.
