Confronted by a Memory,

Apropos of the movement to furnish
books to the prisoners in Auburn Jail, a
Norwegian lady residing in Auburn told
in her picturesque way an episode which
occurred in Charleston, S. C. Years ago a
mother took her 5-year-old boy into prison
when she went to see his father, committed
for some trifing offence. The little fellow
stepped into the adjacent cell, having over
it the number 6s. To tease him the warden
shut the door, but quickly opened it at the
little fellows screams. His mother soothed
him, saying: Nobody shan't ever shut my
little boy in a dark CELL" Years passed.
The boys father and mother died. His
uncle helped him and gave him money to
get to New York. lie fell in with bad
company, ~squandered his money, and in
sheer desperation attempted to commit
burglary in his uncle's house.
That relative was so enraged he handed
over his nephew to the authorities. Look
ing at the number of his cell, to his horror
he saw "Gs," and knew that it was the self
same cell that had inspired his boyish ter
ror. Then his mothers words came back,
Nobody shan't ever shut my little boy in
a dark cell" and he wept us he had not
since her death, for he had loved that
mother. The warden's wife found him in
a melted condition. He told her his story,
and she gave him the utmost sympathy
and kindness during his long term, short
ened by his good behavior. AS he left the
cell and took a last look at those terrible
numbers "6s" he determined he would
make a man Of whom his mother should
be proud. By his trade, learned in prison, he
pursued an honest and lucrative business,
and his taste for literature, also formed by
the warden, provided for leisure hours.
Ten years afterward be- called on the war
denis wife, and she could hardly believe
that it was he who had occupied '6S."-

Mary, the commonest of all James given

Anna, Hannah and probably Nancy are
from the same source and signify "kind"
or gracious" Ellen was originally Helen,
the Latin being Helena and the French
Helene-the meaning being, according to
some, "~alluring," and according to others
lone who pities."
Jane signifies same as Anna, Sarah or

Floating Islands of the Aztecs.

Probably the most curious craft-if we
may call it a craft-that man ever con-
structed or handled was the floating island
(Chinampas) of the Aztecs. They were the
outgrowth of necessity.
Being environed by enemies who occu-
pied the main land the MeXicans were
obliged to construct these boat gardens or
subsist without fruit and vegetables. With
branches, roots and other light materials
they made a float; on this they placed
weeds and earth dredgel from the bottom
of the lakes. Some Of these islands were
forty-eight feet long, eighteen broad and
raised about a foot above the water. These
floating gardens had one great advantage
if the proprietor's %neighbors were unde-
sirable, or if the proximity of an i'll kept
field endangered his w crop, he could
pull up anchor and jumping into his
canoe tow his real estate into a more de-
sirable locality. A few years ago there
was a natural floating island drifting about
Greenwood lake. 1t has since become fixed
near the lower end.-Rudder.

Chewed SOAP for Cake,

A few evenings since Mr.. A. W. Norris,
who lives on the plantation of Mr.. T. W.
Brown near Montezuma, was taken sud-
denly i'll, to the great alarm of his family.
BE continued quite sick, suffering greatly
with nausea until a late hour, when he at
last sank into q peaceful slumber which
lasted until morning, and we are glad to
state awoke feeling entirely relieved, ex-
cept that he had a singular taste in his
mouth. The next day he explained to his
wife as follows: D..
"Wife," said he, "last night after supper
I thought I would go into the dining room
and steal just one of those ginger cakes
you made yesterday. In the dark 1 made
a mistake and attacked most vigorously q
bar Of turpentine soap that was lying on
the table. l bit out a piece about the size
Of a half grown terrapin, and before I de.
tected my error I had filled every hollow
tooth and between my teeth with the tarna-
ton stuff, and had swallowed about a
dimes worth Of it! And that's what made
me so plagued sick" Alick says he's made
about twenty gallons of soapsuds washing
out his mouth, and judging from his taste
he has material enough yet in his mouth
to make twenty gallons more.-Macon

The Pride of Matrimony.

Jessupp tells some amusing anecdotes pick

which the old people speak of their dead
wives or husbands exactly as if they'd been

having been married more than once.

Graduated Medical Advice.

1t not ~infrequently happens that physi-
clans base their advice to patients, at least
in part, upon the latter's financial condi-
ton. A case in point: A friend tells me
that his daughter consulted a physician,
and the latter having satisfied himself as
to the trouble suggested a trip to the Yos-
emite. "But my father cannot afford that"
said the young lady. "In that case," the
doctor replied, TASK him to buy you a pony
and a village cart and take a long drive
every day." 81 am afraid" said the pa
tient, shat papa could not afford that,
either" The doctor was equal to the oc-
casion. Then take . good, long ride in an
open horse car every day" he said; sit viii
do you just as much good" Myfriend's
daughter is now engaged in exploring the
suburbs by open street cars and is improv-
ing rapidly under this TREATMENT which
costs Just ten cents daily.-Boston Post.

THE HARTEY FIMILT.
A Band of brothers From Erin's Greer
Isle.

A Band of brothers From Erin's Green
Isle.
Philip, Patrick and Peter Harvey all re-
side and farm in the Burnt creek valley,
nine miles north OF the city, in township
140, range so. Philip led off in 1873, the first
settler in the township. He filed on the
southeast quarter of section 80 and there
built his house and barn and fenced in a
pasture. He has IN forty acres OF wheat
and flax, has eight head of horses, seven
head of cattle and is comfortably fixed. I
doubt not that to a hasty reader, or one
not familiar with the early settlement of
Burlelgh county, the statement that Philip
Harvey took a claim and settled on Burnt
creek in 1873 would not attract much more
than a passing glance. 1t must not be for
gotten that the red man was abroad in the
land at that time. The coup stick,
tomahawk, scalping-knite, tom-tom and
war paint meant business at that
time. The Indian wal songs
and dances were actualities; bands
of Indians were scattered all along the
river IN 1876, and right il sight of Phillips
little old dug-out the herder, Wright,
was shot down. Phil did not know whose
turn would come next, but he was not a
marked man and for the last seventeen
| years he has held down the claim and
! played the violin for more country
dances among the peaceable settlers
than any other man in the state.
| No settlement in all North Dakota has had
as many family dances and social gather
ings as those who founded and have resid-
ed in Burnt Creek township. l challenge
a count. After Phillip came Patrick, who
took the northeast quarter of 30. He set
tied down to business in 1880. He has four
horses, and has in crop forty acres of wheat,
oats and corn. Nextcame Peter, who set
tied on a quarter in section "a. He has
fifty acres in wheat, oats and corn; has six
horses and six fine hogs. The boys are all
workers. Phil, Pat and Pete are 80, 35 and
"a years of age, and not married. But be
it said to their honor and credit, they have
the mother, who is now ~, with them, and
they obey the command "honor thy father
and thy mother" to the last letter. The
three sisters are married, Mary to Robert
O'Brien, another pioneer in Northeast Bur-
leigh. Fanny to Chas. Chamberlain another
respected farmer and early settler, north
of the city; md Ellen to Mr.. Mahoney, who

millionaire Blair,s Eccentricities.

n11lIlOn01re bla1r's EccentrtcttteS.
One Sunday afternoon a solidly built OLD
man, with y long face and close cut gray
hair, registered at the Grand Pacific.
want a room:" asked the clerk.
"There is no use Of going to the expense
of hiring a room," was the answer, "for
only a few hours. Iexpect to 60 west to-
night, but I'd like some place to change
my clothing"
LET me give you a parlor room for few
hours"
mo. There are few people in the wash
room; l can change my shirt in there and
then sit around the Office for a few hours.
No need of spending money foolishly."
The guest changed his linen in the wash
room and then began to clean his silk hat
and coat with q little rag and bottle of ben
zine.
The eccentric person was John I. Blair,
of New Jersey, whose wealth is estimated
at fabulous amounts. He is rated, to be
worth from s40,000,0W to 800, 0O0, 900, yet
he was seated in a porter's chair in the Pa
ci6c scrubbing his old hat as if he could
never get another. While Mr.. Blair spends
little money on himself he is quite gener-
GUS to Others, and many kind deeds Of
charity are credited to his worldly account.
BE is a remarkable man, for though SO
years old he presents the appearance of one
at 60, and accomplishes twice as much as
most young men.
His business career was begun so long
ago that the present generation does not
know him well. He built the greater por-
ton of the Lackawanna road, investing his
own money and keeping every dollar of his
securities. When Scranton was a wilderness
he hoI1pht land in o,I uro,,pJ III, ,1,.a
and saw it grow from nothing to a city of
100000 people. Mr.. Blair built and now
owns half the roads in Iowa. The own of
Blairsville, N. j.. is owned by him. Of
late years he has made an immense amount
of money in the west. He would lay out
the out of a new road, mark the town
sites along the line and buy up all the good
land before the public knew of the line of
the road. When the towns sprung up Mr..
Blair had all the lots for sale.-Chicago

To Keep a Noseray Fresh.

81 can tell you how to cross the Atlantic

tato. The carnations are to be worn on al
ternate days, and each when not ornament-
ing the buttonhole is to be firmly thrrst

Quick Relief Was Needed.

There may be cases where human aid
would be powerless to save from death a
man caught in a quicksand. A case which
almost proves this occurred in Milton,
Upper Canada, where a we'll digger sunk
into quicksand up to his knees. The wind
lass rope was promptly placed around him,
but it was soon discovered that if the effort
to pull him out were persevered in his legs
would be torn off. Accordingly an attempt
was made to dig him out, and men with
shovels worked uninterruptedly for six
hours to accomplish that end, which was
successfully achieved.-Hamilton Globe.

About Keeping Eggs.

4 Eggs are said to become unwholesome
when kept in refrigerators; a fungus forms
in them which is easily found by a micro
scope, although it is not noticeable to the
taste. This fungus constitutes a danger
when we consider how many eggs are CON
sumed by all classes Of society, and people
Of delicate constitutions ought to be par
ticularly careful that they eat fresh and
not kept eggs.-Exchange.
