SlRGiaI InlOTtalt Notice.

Property holders who have not as yet made
water service connections on Bank street should
do so at once and save considerable in the cost
of the same, from the fact that after the thor
Oughfare has once been macadamzed according
To The plans and specifications now with the
Borough Council II viii necessitate Increased
work and naturally a considerably INCREASED
COST. Every property holder should certainly
see the direct Importance of this and make the
service connection now as II would certainly be
objected to after the street Is macadamlzed to
have It torn up and re-laid thereby causing un-
slightly crevices.

Observations from 4 Balloon.

The observations made during night
ascensions, or those which were continued
into the night, on temperatures at differ
ent heights, gave results different from
the theories previously held on the sub
ieCt. An increase of the temperature
with the height was noticed after sunset.
The rate of decline of temperature with
elevation when near the earth was subject
to variation as the sky was clear or cloudy
From an elevation of three miles cirrus
clouds were seen apparently as far above
the observers as they seem when viewed
from the earth, and that under such con-
ditions that it was hard to believe that
their presence was due to moisture. The
audibility of sounds from the earth de-
pended considerably on the amount of
moisture in the air.
The noise of a railway train can be
heard in clouds four miles high, but not
when the clouds are far below. The dis
charge of a gun was heard at 10000 feet,
the barking of a dog at two miles; but the
shouting of a multitude at not more than
1000 feet. Many differences in the results
of observations were supposed to depend
upon atmospheric conditions, while these
vary with the time of day and the season
of the year; so that a great many Observa-
tions would be required to determine the
true laws. Having followed up one of the
observations recorded above with a captive
balloon and by other means, Mr.. Glaisher
declared to the Meteorological society, in
1870, that the theory that the tempera-
ture is always lower at higher eleva-
tions is not true. - Popular Science

Tear Bottles.

Before the days of la grippe, when the
ladies of Pompeii were the bellies of the
day, posed as the professional beauties,
and for all we know had heir photographs
taken and got a percentage on them, well
bred people did not cry in handkerchiefs.
They dropped their tears slowly and grace
fully into Walls of cut glass, that had gold
shoppers, set about with precious stones.
There can be no doubt that the woman
with thoughts upon a graceful pose prac-
ticed with her tear bottle before her mir
Tor, and can there be anything more
touching than, when ones best young man
was off to the wars. sending him by regis
tered letter a little note saying You
have all my heart. and these are the tears
l rave wept for you since your absence %
The tear bottle could be inclOsed as prac-
teal proof, and the maiden fair would
write on the outside Of the envelope in
large letters 'Glass - please do not
stamp too hard" Those, indeed. were the
days of Omance Undoubtedly, some
very fetching young women, who appreci-
ated the impression made by a bottle Of
tears, but didn't like getting a red nose,
had their slaves do the weeping for them,
and physically cultured themselves by ad-
ministering to the slaves a good sound
whipping, so that they might have some
thing to weep for.-T0r0ntO Globe.

So many things for baby to see,
Look from the window and count them with me.
Beautiful smoke floating up to the sky.
Beautiful clouds sailing ~joyouslY by,
Radiant light from away UP on high.
So many things for baby to hear;
Tender aud loving words whispering near,
Piping Of birding and humming Of bee,
RippIirg of gIadness from flower and rec,
E~choesfr8m Eden from earth's burden free.
SO many things for baby to feel
Wargth Of the sunshine where light breezes
steal;
SOftness of wee shoes and dainty white gown;
Clasp of encircling arms, lips pressing dow
Throb Of the loving heart always her own.
Dear baby ey es with clear depth Of repose,
Dear little hands and feet soft as a rose,
Dear little mouth with its blossoming smile,
Dear little heart that beats true all the while,
How does your sweetness my sadness bcguiIe.
All. little child. when your babyhOod wanes,
Years follow on bearing LIES certain pains;
Hands will unclasp that have held yours in
poise,
Raining ef tears will hide sunshine of joys,
Trembling you'll stand in the tumult OF noise.
Love cannot shield you from sorrows surprise,
Through shade AMI sunshine each human path
lies;
| Comfort alone to your heart will draw nigh,
| Led by the faith that through clouds can descry
Radiant light from away up on high.

The Jackson Namesakes.

A few years after the adoption of the
BABY, another nephew. known now as
ANDREW Jackson Dorel.On," went to the
Hermitage to live, and these two AN
drews' always considered the Generals
house their home. although the younger
Andrew addressed Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson
ouly as uncle" and aunt" These two
boys were the "cLildren." But there was
hardly a time When there were not other
little peOpl8 at the house for longer or
shorter stays, some for lifetime %sOjOurns.
There was nothing to approach the grand
Virginia atV lie of living but the grounds
at Mount Vernon and the halls at Month
clio never rung with neartier laughter
than did the Hermitage filed with the lit
tie foster children and their small COM
panions, white and black. The ways of
General Jackson and his wife were uni
formIy those of ~"pleasautness and peace"
and all tue little folk received the gentlest
of treatment. To be sure the General was
grutf and peremptOry among men, and
Mrs. Jackson smoked a cob pipe. But
what did it matter to the children so long
as Mr.. Jackson was wiling to sit wedged
three in a rocking chair, and Mrs. Jack
son would tell them tiOEtIer stories every
evening in the freight? Mr.. Parton
gives the account Of a traveller who arrived
at the Hermitage one wet, chilly February
evening
81 came upon General Jackson sitting
alone before the fire, a lamb and a child
between his knees. Seeing me, he called
a servant to remove the two innocents to
another room, and said that the child had
cried because the lamb was out in the cold
and begged him to bring it in, which he
had done to please the child"
Amember of the family said to me lately
flat there were possibly 10 children, white
and black. in the house and about the
neighb0rhOod named ANDREW" or "Ra-
chrl," and to each of these the General
gave a gift or a remembrance in some
way, and liked them ali. He gave away
dozens of Bibles and SLIT r cups to name
sakes; and on one of his trips from the
Hermitage to the capital he distributed a
hundred and fifty silver haif-dollars to
mothers as they brought little "Andrews"
or "Rachels" to him along the route. To
each he made a little speech, saying, "The
half dollar will serve the children to cut
their teeth on now but when they are
older tell them it is the eagle of their
country and teach them to love and pro-
tect it ~ 1t is perhaps not a strange fact
that when children went to the Hermitage
to visit they were often called ANDREW"
and Rachel" although their names at
home were entirely different. - Wide

As Quick as the TELEPHONE.

One night a welI-knOwn citizen of a
Western city who had been walking for
some time in the downward path, came
out of his house and started down town
for q night of c~arousal with some of his
old compan.ous be had promised to meet.
His young wife had besOught him with
implOrirg eyes to spend the evening with
her, and had reminded him of the time
when evenings passed in her company
were al too short. His little daughter
Clung about his knees and COaXed in her
pretty, willful way for papa" TO tell her
some bedtime stories; but habit was
stronger than love for child and wife, and
G eluded her tender questions by the de-
Ceits and excuses which are the convenient
refuge of the incorporate, and so went on
his way.
When he was some blocks distant from
his home, he found that in changing his
coat he had forgotten to remove his wallet,
and he could not go out on a drinking
Lout without money: even though he
knew his family needed it, and his wife
was ec0nomizing every day more and more
in order to make up his deficits. So he
hurried back and crept softly past the
window of his little home, in order that
he might steal in and obtain it without
Running tbs gauntlet of either questions
or careSseS.
Bat as he looked through the window
something stayed his feet. There was a
fire in the CRATE within, for the night was
chill 1t lighted up the little parlOr and
brought Jul in startling effect the pictures
on the wall. But these were nothing to
the pictures on the hearth. There in the
soft glow of the freight knelt his child at

rosy lips whispered each word with child
ish distInctness, the father listened, spell
bound, to the words which he himself had
50 often uttered at his mothers knees
"NOw | lay me down to sleep"
His thoughts ran back to his boyhOod
hours; and as lie compressed his bearded
Hps h. could see in memory the face of
that mother, long since gone to her rest,
who taught his own infant lips prayers
which he had long ago forgotten to utter.
The child went on and completed her
little yer g, aud then, as prompted by the
mother, continued: "God bless mamma,
papa. aud my own self, then there was
u pause, and she lifted her troubled blue
eyes to her mothers face
God bless papa" prompted the mother
softly.
Good bless papa" lisped the little one.
"And-please send him home sober"
He could not hear the mother as she
said this; but the child followed in a clear,
inspired voice:
neutrality-suspicious. send
-him-home-sober. Amen"
Mother and child sprang to their feet in
alarm when the door opened so suddenly;
but they were not afraid when they saw
WHO it was returned so soon. But that
night when little Mary was being tucked
up in bed, after such q romp with papa,
she said in the sleepiest and most ~cOntented

Russian Wolves.

A curious report was recently brought
home by a traveller from Norway, which,
if it be true, will 60 far to correct the
ideas concerning the wisdom of extirpa-
ting noxiOus animals in countries where
they abound. 1t is said hat in one of the
northern provinces the reward offered by
the government for the destruction of
wolves had resulted in their becoming
practically extinct, and thus far there was
every reason for Congratulation. But it
now appears that, unknown to man, the
Norwegian wolves had been constantly
engaged in a patriotic war of self defense
against the voracious packs of Russian
Lapland; so long as their numbers were
undiminished they held their ground, and
even continued to do so for some time after
they had begun to be decimated by the
misguided hostility of their human fellows.
1t would seem that there had superVened
a period in which the Russian wolves as
sumed a willy Fabian policy, bidding their
time" until the hand of man, stimulated by
government blood money, had finished its
work.
At last the ground was clear, but no
o had the Morse folk begun to re-
ioice than a fresh incursion was reported
of huge, hungry wolves from beyond the
frontier, which have occupied the vacant
hunting grounds of the slaughtered ami
mails, so that the whole process of "extin
gushing" must be recommended, with no
better prospect of finality than he labor
of Sisyphus.-MUrTGy's Magazine.

Wanted to Ioin Her Family.

Toward the close of the war" said a
member of the G. A. R whose mind is
well stocked with "reminiscences, at a re-
cent meeting of the post, 81 was visiting a
Southern hospital, and while passing
through one of the wards my attention
was attracted by a young fellow who lay
on his bed with eyes closed and his face so
white and still that l thought he must be
dead. While l stood looking at him a
door near at hand opened and a young
girl, beautiful as Southern girls sometimes
are, entered. The wounded man opened
his eyes, and, suffering a spasm of pain as
he turned TO look at her, exclaimed
"'Oh, Lord =
"'Why do you speak my Fathers name?'
asked the girl, advancing to his side. 1

Ventilation in Living Rooms.

The question of ventilation is aver more
difficult than that of heating. If one
uses a stove, the oxygen in the room must
supply the fire as well as the lungs of the
inmates, and unless it is constantly re-en-
forced from the outside, it will become ex-
hausted and the air of the room will be
unfit to breathe, both from the exhaustion
of the oxygen, and from the exhalations
from the bodies of those who live in it.
A good way to ventilate is to close the
doors between the living room and the one
adjoining then in the latter open all the
windows, until the air is entirely renewed;
then close the windows and open all con-
Meeting doors. This has been used with
success in the case of invalids. Another
way is to raise one of the sashes a few
inches, and have a strip of wood fitted
snugly in below the sash. The air will
then enter upward between the sash, and
will cause no draught. A hinged pane in
one of the windows is an excellent thing,
as is also a ventilator set in one of the
panes.-B0St0B Herald.

A Protest from a Shop Girl:

have received the following from a re-
tail house on State street, says a writer in
the Chicago Tribune: IL want to protest
against this twaddle about the poor shop
girl. l have heard it rUng in my ears for
the last three weeks, day and night, and
from people who know nothing about our
business and really care less. | am tired
of being pointed out as a weary shop girl.
| am tired of being asked the question by
people whom | never saw before and prob.
ably will never see again until | run up
against them in the next world, and then r
shall expect them to say to me-: You poe 4
tired thing. You look too weary to twang
your harp
Let me tell these sympathetic creatures
something. We do get tired. So do the
bank clerks, and suppose there is such a
thing as newspaper men firing. But they
are never singled out as we are as objects
of sympathy. You may think | am un-
grateful. ! am not. | don't want any So
called sympathy from strangers. Besides,
| would like to inform the sy~mpathizers
that the average shop girl of to-day is bet
ter off for being suCh. She is well treated
by her employer. OF course she has to
work. She is not employed as a picture.
| know a manager in Chicago who never
allows Il girl in search of work to cave his
place without one days pay in her pocket.
If sbe is worthy she may be retained.
During the crowded season just passed l
know Of many shop girls who were not only
given extra pay and furnished with lunches
and dinners, but given valuable presents,
and their home people were, in some in
stances, remembered by managers and en-.
pIoyers. Many did not receive UGH COL
sideration, and | nave no doubt that in a
majority of cases they did not receive it
because they did lot merit it. Ii the shop
girl attends TO her business she will get
along all right and won't need so much
sympathy"
