lips daringly climbed it half way and
drove the spikes with which it was to be

architecture. At the top there is
great flare or bell that has an outward
slope Of Ave feet, and to overcome this
apparently insurmountable obstacle
seemed to the spectators Of the work
the most difficult part of the under
taking. Phillips was equal to it,
however. He carried his ladders up in
straight course as far as they would
go, and from q point fifteen feet or 80
lower ran a long ladder to the top of the
bell. This was secured in the top of
the chimney by means of spikes, and
it was made steady by a lacing
from the top of the uppermost short
ladder, 50 that he could climb it to
drive the spikes. To the onlooker it
seemed an impossibility to so fasten a
ladder at the angle required as to ena-
BILE the climber to crawl outward and
get over the edge Of the bell at the top,
but it has been accomplished, and the
daring climber has earned snug fee as
his reward,

the immense chimney of the thread
works twice. The outer course of brick
was torn of in several places and the
chimney probably injured in other ways,
so that it was thought unsafe to continue
the operation of the mills till an exam
ination could be made.
The height of the stack is 1856 feet,
greater than that of any other in the
United States. How to examine and
repair the damage wrought was prob
lem solved by Phillips, who offered to
climb the chimney and hang a
painters scaffolding from the top.
He proposed to use ladders which he
would lash firmly to each other and f K
to the side of the chimney by means OF
spikes driven into the cement between
the bricks His proposition was ac-
cepted. and a week ago last Wednesday
he began to ascend the chimney.
With ladders and ropes and spikes
Phillips set to work, and in few hours
he demonstrated the practicability OF
his plan. A fire truck ladder thirty
five feet in length was used as a
foundation, it's spikes at the bottom
being sunk in heavy plank, and it's
upper end fastened to the chimney
with hooked spikes, which were
firmly driven into the cement The
second ladder, which is twenty-five feet
long, was lashed to the first, underlap-
ping it five feet A cross cleat of wood

The owners Of the deposits have made
immense fortunes from the products. as
it is very valuable, bringing eight cents
apound at the pits. Its use until with
in few years was confined solely to
making candles, but the manifold uses
to which paraffine has been adapted has
given this Galician deposit a much
wider utility. The region is intensely
Catholic, and holy days are constantly
occurring, upon which occasions vast
numbers of candles are used. The
ozokerit lies in veins sixteen inches
thick. 1t is dug out with shovels, and
raised from the shaft with buckets and
windlass. The owners are the only
merchants, bankers, and hotel keepers
in the region. Every thing is mort
gagged to them. The men shave their
heads, leaving only tuft Of hair at
each temple. The women also shave
their heads, wearing mohair wigs in
stead OF their natural head covering.
'There is more in this primitive neld
of mineral wax passing into the control
of American capital than appears on the
surface. These deposits have interfered
in no small degree with the market for
American paraffine in European mar
kets, and American parafine is an i'm
portant product The men who will
control this Galician natural paraflne
are greatly interested in the American
artificial paraftine, and they intend to
have the market in one way If they
can't in another."-N. Y. Sun.

eABY'S TENDER HAND.
A Boy in an Orphans Homo Reformed BY
Finding Walt.


Enough is knc vn to convince any one
who will inquire into the matter that
the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum is do
ing noble work by taking the children
OF the unfortunate poor, and the reck-
less, the vile and the criminal classes,
providing them with shelter, food and
clothing, wholesome discipline, moral
and religious instruction, and placing
them in good homes, where they will be
raised up to lives of responsibility and
usefulness.
Strange and interesting incidents oo-
cur from time to time in the institution.
The following is worth relating: A boy
named Edward - has been in the
asylum for three years. In the last year
he developed vicious, incorrigible dis
position, so much 50 that he would
strike his companions with scissors,
blocks of wood, pieces of iron; in fact,
any thing that he happened to have in
his hand when he was angry. Fearing
that he would cripple or injure some one
fatally, the matron and others deemed
it prudent to send him to the reform
school for boys at Piainfield, and made
application to the president for admis-
sion, but were refused on account of his
being under ten years of age. He was
brought upstairs and placed under the
immediate supervision of the matron,
carefully watched, kept busy when it
was possible) sewing carpet rags, mop
ping the floor around the edges of the
carpet and going errands.
One evening just after dusk Edward
and Roe, companion, were sent to a
passing out of the front door of the asy-
lum they stumbled over something
which, upon examination, proved to be
baby. They picked it up and ran back
to the housekeeper and showed what
they had found. and were in the greatest
state of excitement. They called it
their baby, and were proud when the
matron called 1t by the names of the
boys, Edward Roe. They asked the
privilege of spending an hour every day
in the nursery, where they sit and ad-
content, taking no notice Of the other
three babies there. Edward, on one
visit, took from his pocket some blue
ribbons that he found. He said: "Nurse,
I want you to tie these round the baby's
sleeves to dress him up and make him
look pretty. 1 like pink ribbon best,
but can't find any" A News carrier
gave Edward very small bottle Of per-
fumery that also was added to baby's
treasures. He says when he gets older
that he will buy him some stockings and
clothes The finding of this little wait
has made a complete reformation in Ed
ward-he is obedient. tender and pa
tient, and as good boy as there is in
the institution. 1t would be unwise for
the present to send the baby out to a
home. Edward is in tears at the very
thought of it. So Scripture is fulfilled:

NEW YORK, April 12.-Thousands of

appearance of John Phillips, the bold
slater, who was about to finish his task

ladder, an iron one, in position, and
climbed over the great bell and collar

the nervy climber made it possible for
workmen to reach the top. The chimney

1t is said that one of our humorists,

OF his kind. has grown tired of humor-

older, and has therefore lost something
of the taste of his earlier days, or possi-
bly, he finds his spirits less elastic than
they used to be, though we may believe,
since he is man of heart and earnest
purpose, he realizes that h reputation
as a vendor of witticisms destroys, or at
least weakens his influence. Two men
distinguished in public positions have
said, at the close of their careers that
permitting themselves to be regarded as
humorists was the great mistake Of their
lives
