The Fall of tho lIasher.

He was smart young fellow OF the
anglomaniac type, and he had been
standing on the corner for some time,
summing himself in the rays of the
genial sun, watching the maidens as
they crossed the street and amusing
himself with surrcptitious study in
crinoline. He was intent upon OBJ

bounded from the alleyway with to-
mato can tied to his tail just as the

There was mixture of dog, tomato

His Early Education.

A ST. Paul merchant gives the fol-

a reason why he cut piece Of goods
in two and sold one portion at high
and the other at low price: Twenty
live years age I was a sub-clerk in a
general store in Kalamazoo, Mich.
The head salesman sent me down
d do up ape pound 1 81 tea for prominent
social leader. In forty-hve minutes it
came back from the house with an or,
der to change it. What does that head
salesman do but shake the tea out of
the brown paper, do it up in silk tea
paper, tie it with colored cord and
send It back to the lady. 1t stald

that that was the kind Of tea she al
ways wanted to fill her orders. That,
my boy, was part of my early edu-

4 Cow In New York,

4 COW has become q stock sensation
in one part of town. Every night at
10 o'clock q real one, alone and con-
tentedly chewing her cud, is driven
into Fourth avenue from East Twelfth
street. She nmbles along up the ave-
nue. in homely country fashion. Most
of the boys and girls of the neighbor-
hood wait up for the event. They take
solid comfort and bubble over with
childish antics in watching every
move of the COW, and she returns the
attention by mild looks from her big
and peaceful eyes and switching OF
her tail, Just as in fly time.
She's goin' to do her act, said a
Fourth avenue car driver, nodding
toward the COW a few evenings since.
He meant that the COW was an at
traction in a neighboring theatre. In
the play there is country scene, and
the cow-so strange to New Workers,
so commonplace to most other per.
sons-is making an unbounded hit. "

A Bit of Human Nature.

A Topeka clergyman disguised him
self as day laborer and sought work
with but small success. He was agree
ably surprised to find that men of the
laboring classes are kind to each other
and were willing to share with him.
If any one will study the contributions
to sufferers by such calamities as the
Johnstown flood, the yellow fever cpl,
demic Of 1878 and the like he will lind
that the small subscriptions from the
workingmen make up the greater part
of the fund, and that the man who
gives q days income is generally la
borer or man whose wages are small.
It is the class over whom poverty al
ways hangs and with whom sufferingi is
near at hand that is most self sacrihc-
ing and generous in aiding the suffer
ing and destitute.-New York Tele-

Baboons, rondness for Goat Milk.

The balloons, always troublesome to
the crops, have of late developed a
new propensity. Mr.. 81. a. Dryden,
author Of "Kloof aud Karroo" Qong-
mans), says: Some years back some
one baboon having comoac the dead
body of mich goat, discovered and
extracted the mich bag, and, like Eve,
saw that it was good. His discovery
must have been quickly impaired to
his fellows, for the Karroo farmers be-
gan to find their mich goats ripped up
by these brutes solely for the sweet
and luscious milk. The balloons, too,
becoming accustomed to butchering,
presently turned their attention to the
flesh, and will now destroy kids-and,
if they can manage it, goats-for their
flesh alone" AS the author remarks,
this modern development of a carniv-
orous habit coincident with the in
crease of focks is analogous to that OBJ.

A Political sensation In Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., March Ex-senator
John A. Buchanan, of New Phlladel-
phia, introduced bill in the senate to
elect presidential electors by con.
gressional districts. Should it pass and
not be declared Unconstitutional the
Democrats of Ohio would surely elect
fifteen of the twenty-three presidential
electors IN 1892 Had the electors been
chosen by congressional districts IN loSS
Cleveland would have had a majority
of twenty-three electors, rs the vote
that year shows that he carried a
majority of that many OF the con-
greSsional districts of the United States.
Senator Buchanan says his bill is con-
stitutional and calls attention to clauses
and of that instrument which says;
each state shall appoint in such man
ner as the legislature thereof may direct
a number of electors" etc.

How tho Bottom of an OIL Well Looks.

How tho Bottom of an OIL Well Looks.
There arc thousands of people who
have desired to see what the bottom OF
an oil well looked like after hun
dred quart glycerine torpedo had been
exploded in it. But no ordinary NOR
tai could crawl down q six inch hole
to the depth of 1000 feet if he wanted
to, and no sane one would want to if
he could. So the curious oil seeker
has heretofore been compelled to guess
as to the effect of the shot.
An oil country photographer has
furnished the desired picture. The
successful experiment was made at
Warren. The Instrument was let down
TO the bottom of q 100 foot well,
which had been subjected to torpedo
explosion. When the camera touched
bottom bright flash litup the cavity,
impressing Il perfect picture on the
negative. a cavity fourteen feet broad
and seven feet deep below the oil sand
was revealed. Into this cavity, en-
larged by the force of q glycerine ex
plosion from the ordinary six inch
drill hole, the oil trickled and accumu-
lated, ready to be pumped to the sur
face.
Has nature any more secrets she
would like to lido from inquisitive
MANI If SO they will need to be buried
beyond the reach of the oil driller's
steel auger. Into the deepest rccesses
the drill can penetrate the modern
