His Only Haven,

All women are in league against
the bachelor-the married women
from sympathy with their unmarried
sisters and the unmarried from de.
sire t. lessen the number ofspinsters.
With this league against him. often
siye and defensive, the unmarried
man may find peace in heaven, but
he can scarce hope to find happiness
on earth-this side of marriage.
However, once married, oil the bach
elor's troubles are over. He is no
longer the subject of interested OF
designing attentions-eXcept the ut
tentions which proceed from love.
True, the bachelor becomes on his
marriage, if not an object of COM
miseration to the knowing ones, an
object of comparative indifference to
all women but one; but the superior
love of that one atones for all, and is
added dignity and completeness as
n man and citizen make him wonder
how he previously existed, as one
halfa pair of scissors without the
other half.-Woman's Cycle.

Carlyle's Peculiar Tribute to
Webster,

"Webster was u large man, stout,
and tall; he had q massive brain and
face and as masterful eyes as ever
blazed upon an adversary. When
he WIS in England he spent much
time with Carlyle, who, being asked
after Mr.. Webster's departure what
he thought ofDaniel Webster, is said
to have replied that he was the
greatest false pretense living His
friend, expressing aetonishment,
said:
"'Why, how is that?
"Said he: 1t is not possible for
any man to be as great as Webster
looks
"Wcbster had lion face and the
most commanding eye of any man
OF his day, and it is not strange that
Carlyle, who was n thin, wizened sort
of q man in his looks, should have
been powerfully affected by such a
mastertul presence as that of Web
ster. Webster doubtless had faults,
but his pre-eminent ability in debate
gave him an exalted standing, and
it was said of him that he never ut
tered word in any public speech that
modesty would blush to hear or
morality to indorse.' "-Interview in
the New York Herald.

An Asset He Didn't Stop to
Count

Sam Stones, Of New London, was
aCresus one day and possibly a pau
per the next. At the time of this in
cident he was the latter, and q sher-
if came to take possession. Sam re-
ceived him with his well-known pc.
likeness and opened the ball by ask-
ing him what he wanted. The sheriff
informed him he had come to take an
inventory dfhis furniture and belong
ings general ".
"Get to w3rk," said Sam, and he
went into hi garden to have asmoke.
In this gefden Sam had q hive of
bees, whicK he carefully brought to
the back foor and deposited outside.
He then went in and asked the sheriff
il he had got everything down. Yes,
he Thought he had. Sam thought
not; 80 he went outside and returned
with his hive of bees, and chucking
itinto the middle of the kitchen, said:
CHOW, my Christian friend, get
those counted and put down in your
inventory"
Poultices were the order fthe day
and night in that family for the next
week.

Abracadabra.

This gentleman was the chief god
of the Assyrians. He has left no au-
tographs, but it is believed by the
best scholars that the spelling of his
name as above is entirely correct, for
-, the very good reason that it could
not be spelled in any other way and
be the same name, Assyrian physi-
clans used to cure their patients of
malaria, toothache, nervous prostra-
ton and Ia grippe by prescribing this
name to bepronouncedin smalT doses
after each meal. The name drawn
up in triangle, like q band ofmusic,
.or Nmasonic parade, on q piece OF
parchment, was considered sure
cure for snake bite and entitled it's
wearer to move in the best Assyrian
-society.-New York Sun.

I often say that poor people must
be fonder of their children than the
wealthy are of theirs. There is such
q poignant interestin a child who will
have to face a seq of trouble. Poor
little Alphonso XII1 must be invest
ed in his mothers eyes with IN inter-
est of that kind, being the postum
nous son of q viveur of O bad con
stitution, who, having used himself
up ut the age OF 26, died of n gallop-
ing consumption. ASpanish deputy
told me last October that the poor
little boy had no chance of a lcng
life and that it would be rather u
misfortune ifhe grew up. The ner-
vous system was 80 bad that the
doctors were afraid of having him
bathed in the sea. A shock of any
kind might knock it to pieces. His
mother comes of the most epileptic
branch of the imperial family of Aus
tria.
Poor little Alphonso has, said the
deputy 1 quote, fleshless little legs,
with bones no thicker than a chick
ems. They bend under the weight
of an abnormally big head, which
points to hydrocephalus. Alto
gether the conformation of
the little monarch is q thing rather
for an anatomical museum than to
bear the weighty trappings of regal
state. His mother is always in eur
shot ofhim and the doctor handy to
her. A corkscrew stair communicates
with his and her bedrooms, and
there is q speaking tube close to his
bed, SO that were anything the mat
ter with him tho nurse could ut once
tell her and the doctor. The king two
sisters promise to be winsome, and
and have fairly good constitutions,
though their flesh is slow to heal.
Mercedes, to whom 1 told you 80
early as November Spaniards here
were beginning to make up as shown
in "homages" of French toys, still
nurse dolls. They notice on the
sands of San Sebastian what weak
ling the poor brother was, and jump
ed to the conclusion that the crown
would soon drop down on the head
of his eldest sister. She and Theresa

, Surgical Operation Upon Z
LiornoS9,

Recently Keeper Havens, Of the
,Gfess Zoo, performed q very delicate
operation.
The silver lioness, "Mollie, "chewed
mp p piece of raw beef which the
butshsr had choppedup with a cleav-
err, leaving some fragments Of bone
IN the flesh. 1t is not the custom OF
the keeper to give the animals flesh
that contains any bone at all. In
this instance u sharp silver of bone
pierced the lioness' gum on the out
side Of the jaw, next to the cheek,
just below the left eye.
The place swelled up and festered,
and the animal suffered n great deal
ofpain. Her head was swollen and
she was unable to eat.
Keeper Havens went to the cage,
=. and by coaxing the lioness he got
her to lie down, and then he slipped
ropes over her fore feet, stretching
CucuA W elItcl 6Iuc vi Cuc CuS0 u11O
tying them securely.
:"Mollie" kicked and struggled un.
til the keeper fondled her awhile.
After she was secured he entered the
cage all alone, and, taking her head
beneath his knees, he cut a small in
cision in the cheek, took his lance
and pulled out the silver, an inch in
length.
He did the work oil alone, and nc
one else was present during the per
Torrance of the operation.
After she had been released several
hours, he visited the cage, and she
met him with a gratified look, hold
ing the wound up to the bars of the
cage rs if she was glad that he had
performed the operation that reliev.
ed her, and she appeared as docile
and.kindly as a kitten, although che
had been fierce and resentful before.

Growing Demand for Electric
Motors,

The uses of the electric motor are
multiplying daily, and one of the in
dications that it's adaptability is
recognized by the public is that ma
chimes for both constant potential
and constant current systems have
been manufactured during the past
year ut the rate of upward of $50
per week, and their rating will ex-
coed 700 horse power. In spite of
this great output of electrical ap-
paratus. every portion OF it finds an
immediate eale, and nearly all the
factories are behind in their orders
to such an extent that it is nearly
impossible to fill orders under sixty
days. Motors have been intr oduced
for oil conceivable purposes to which
power can DO applied, and small in
dustries run by electrical power have
started up in many places where
steam power could not he utilized.
The use of the storage battery ia al.
SO growing rapidly.-New York Tele-
