Practical.

Horace Greedy had the reputation oi
being practical philanthropist and
his advice was sought by hundreds of
strangers. whose only excuse for in
truding upon him was that they needed
counsel, and that he had the brains that
could advise them.
One day, while he was writing an
important letter in his Office. a boy,
fifteen years old, entered the room,
and, standing near the door and be-
hind the editors chair, said MIR.
Greeley, have come to ask your adj
vice"
Say on" answered the editor with
out stopping his pen or even glancing
at the boy.
The only relative | have here"
continued the boy, lis my sister. L
have been boarding with her, and she
let me have board so cheap that | could
earn money to pay her and have
something left to buy my clothes. Now
l have quarreled with her, and am
boarding at another place, where they
charge me all can earn for my board
not so good as had at my sisters
and have nothing left to pay for
clothes. What shall do?'
is your sister marricd?" asked Mr..
Greeley without looking up or stop
ping his pen.
Yes, SIR
"Is she respectable woman?"
Certainly, sir"
go straight to your sister and tell
her that You are ashamed of yourself,
and ask her forgiveness. If she will
take you, go back and live with her,
and after this remember that if your
own sister is not your friend, you will
not be, likely to find any friend in New
York City.
The boy departed without another
word, and Mr.. Greeley had not even
seen him, so engrossed was he with his
writing. This poor boy did not per-
sonally know Mr.. Greeley, but being
in distress, sought him out in city of
several hundred thousand people as a
man to give him good advice.

PEccARY VS.. LOCOMOTIVE.
How Pack Of tho Obstinate Little Brutes
Camc to Grief.

A Fort Davis (Tex.) correspondent
of the N. Y. Times writes: The follow
ing story, which has now become a
part of the unwritten history of this
section, will best serve TO illustrate the
headstrong disposition and wonderful
courage OF the little peccary. The
Southern Pacific Railroad, which
passes this point for part of its route,
cuts through long stretch of chaparral
country Astounding with peccaries,
wild mustangs, and various wild ami
mails. One day. while driving along
at moderate speed through the Pecos
bottoms, an engineer saw herd of
small animals scattered along the track
them to BIO domestic porkers, he blew
the whistle a couple Of blasts and kept
straight ahead supposing Of course,
that the brutes would take the hint
and get out of the way. No such
thing. With shouts in the air they
scornfully surveyed the approaching
engine and made up their minds to
stand their ground Quickly forming
semi-circle en- masse, with angry
eyes and gnashing teeth they coolly
awaited the crash, evidently determined
TO demolish the locomotive and, cars
or get busted" themselves. so to
speak. Still the engineer thought they
would move and made no attempt to
ease up or stop the train, When al
most upon them he saw that collision
was inevitable, and so he opened the
throttle, set the old whistle to screech-
ing, and bore down upon the band
with all the speed he could command.
Crash! he went through the band OF
peccaries like rocket, filling the air
with spare ribs, tenderloins, and bits
of flying pork. Those belligerent lit
tie rascals who were unhurt rushed
madly at the wheels, the cars. and the
cow-catcher, showing their spitefulness
to the bitter end, but, of course, they
were smashed out of existence in their
attempt to do-nothing.
The engineer says: Next day when
! came back over tho road there wero
the remaining peccarics on the same
spot, arranged in battalion front, and
all waiting for the train to come along
so that they could get even for the
previous days disaster. Away went
at them again, filling the atmosphere
with pork. while the live ones frautical-
~ rushed at the cars, wheels, and
trucks, attempting in their mad fury
to wreck the train. This they kept up
trip after trip until only three pee
carries remained. True to their reso-
luton, when the final day came they
took bold stand side by side in the
middle of the track and prepared to
make last fight for the honor of pee"
carries and hogs generally. Two were
tossed into eternity by the cowcatchcr
and the third was cut into sections by
the iron wheels. Since then no moro
peccaries have attempted to buck
against Uncle Sans mail"

Electric Lights in England.

The use of electric lights is increasing
with great rapidity among the Lon.
don shopmen. A walk down the Strand
or Oxford street after dark will show
that every second or third store has
now given up gas, which would have
been entirely superseded some time
ago If il it were not SO cheap. Many
Of the other cities in England are now
using the arc light, and at Brighton it
IS almost universal.
