The Story of Two Foxes.

There is an old story of two foxes who
were so lovingly attached to each other
that they could not quarrel One day
however, they decided that life would be
less monotonous if they could only have a
difference, so they resolved to dispute
about piece Of meat.
81 want that, cried one.
Every well, dear fox" said the other
meekIy, take it"
"On, no, dear fox, said the first one
you for worlds"
Thereupon they concluded that quarrel
ing was an impossibility- and resolved
never to attempt it again.
Dick and Dora are twins and quite in
separable companions One day, how
ever, little cloud arose and blackened
upon their horizon.
Whats the matter?" called Dick, find
ing Dora sulking in a corner.
Nothing was the dignffied answer.
ooh, come now, know there is. Was it
because I was playing with Tom Rogers? ?"
"No. it wasn't that" owned Dora, her
eyes filling with angry tears; 'but you
needn't have told me not to touch your
things"
Il didn't mean it that way" protested
honest Dick. Truly | didn't. l just
meant, Don't joggle till 1 get that knot
tied"
''In future" began Dora, with the air OF
a queen determined not TO be pacified, 'if
you want me to play with you''-here she
paused, and a rogaish light rippled over
her face-''you just mention it, and I'll be
there," And the quarrel Of the two little
foxes was adjourned.

parents intimate that fact to professional

she calls upon the young womsnis parents,

the eight symbols which denote the day of

Invention of the Compass.

The valuable invention of the compass IS
involved in mystery and its real discoverer
is unknown. L2fite2u, in his history Of the
Portuguese discovery in the new world,
says that NascO da Cana brought it 10
Lisbon from the coast II Africa on his re-
turn from Melinda, where the Arabs then
used 1t. and lie believed the Portuguese to
have been until then ignorant Of it. Some
attribute il to FiavIa Gi0Ja. of Amalpni.

of opinion that the invention Is due TO the
Chinese, ana that one Of their emDerors. a
celebrated asJrolo-er. was acquainted with
II 1,l20 years before the Christian era; nor
have others again been wanting who have
supported the opinion that Il was known
in The time Of Solomon The ancient
GreeAs and Romans are also supposed by
some n have used 1t, bUt the silence Of
their historians OF this Ject renders this

Commencing Sunday, July 13, 1890, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo

was made on account of great many peO-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all Il

still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives US through sleeping car
service Wichita st. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to 90 east via

be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If

A Rare Ring.

The diamond seal ring of the unhappy
King Charles Of England is of an ines
Unable intrinsic and artistic value, says
The Theological Review. 1t is supposed
that he made it himself, as he had the
reputation of being very skillful silver
and gold smith, and spending his leisure
hours at the bench. The intagiio of the
ring contains the coat of arms of Great
Britain and the monogram of the king.
After his decapitation thering was inherit
ed by his dsthroned son, who during his
exile in France was reduced to such straits
that he was forced to part with it. The
well known French traveller Tavernier
bought it, and in his subsequent journey
to the Orient he showed it to the shah of
Persia, who paid him a fabulous sum for
1t. The ring has since then been jealousy
guarded in the Persian treasury vault

Luck and Labor.

Luck, weakly wishing idly fingers
For favoring fortune Yet TO smile;
Labor, at work with busy fingers,
Depends upon himself the while.
Luck lies abed in dreams to number
The coins of future riches vast,
Labor, arising from his slumber
Earns pence that grow to pounds at last
Luck ever signs and says in sadness
why does my ship come never in9''
Labor, all lghtsome, sings in gladnes&
Tn sure success in time to win.''
Luck comes to poverty and sorrow,
To vain regret and lasting shame;
Labor has ne ar TO beg or borrow,
And gains at length each cherished aim.

An Incident of the Street.

Two men were walking on State
street, and as they walked they talked.
Il can tell a mans character by the
way he shakes my hand. If he gives me
one finger I always watch him after
that" said one.
"Ipresume there are some exceptions"
said the other.
mo, sir; none"
Just then they met third man, who
stopped them. The last speaker in the
foregoing dialogue introduced the third
man to his friend There was hot
weather conversation and they sepa-
rated. The first two men passed on.
Did you notice how that man shook
your hand? asked the second speaker.
Eyes: he gave me one finger"
"And you would say that is suspi-
Eious thing in his character"
Il would, certainly"
''No exceptions"
None"
'Well, that man has but one finger on
his right hand. He was born that way"

Orange Blossoms and Brides.

Saracen brides were the first to wear
orange blossoms, and occasionally the
same emblem has been worn by European
brides ever since the time of the Crusades;
but the general adoption of wreaths Of
orange blossoms for brides is comparatively
modern practice, according TO The Dry
Goods Chronicle, due especially to the
recent taste for flower language. The sub
Ject Of bridal decorations being made a
study, and the orange flower being found
suitable, from the use made Of it by the
ancient Saracens, it was introduced by
modistes as a fit ornament for brides The
notion once planted soon became a custom,
now very general, adopted by all brides
who study the conventions OF society and
follow the accepted fashions.

A School for Dogs IN Germany Where the

in the Military servioe-Their Great
Intelligence.
The great value Of well trained dogs in
the military service has of late years been
so entirely proved that various war offices
not only recognize but encourage their
traiEing. The Germans were the first to
begin regular organized plan of dog
training, and a few years ago they estab-
lished the first school for dogs at Gosler.
The pupils there turned out so well that
many other garrisons followed suit, and
the whole dog service was placed under the
supervision Of the general commanding
the army corps. In the following year
Gen. Won der Goltz, after inspecting the
trained dogs, reported in the highest terms
on the unerTing fidelity with which they
worked and delivered dispatches in the face
of any obstacle which could be laid in their

First Method of Producing Electricity.


If piece of amber or resin and piece
of glass be rubbed together and then sep
arated they are no longer Indifferent to
each other as before, but each attracts the
other In this condition the bodies are
both said to be electrified or charged with
electricity. Evidence of this condition is
easily secured by suspending one of the
charged bodies, 80 that it can move freely,
and then presenting the other. An electric
charge may be communicated to bodies
which have not been rubbed on merely
bringing them in contact with one which
is already electrified. For example, light
ball of pith suspended by silken thread
will be charged by such contact, and it can
then serve as an eleetroscope: that is, it
can be employed as means of detecting
the electric condition Of any body to which
it may be presented. a light straw, bal
anced so as to turn freely on a fine point,
may serve the same purpose, explains q
writer in Scribner.
