Of an Italian. he came rushing in with
a olfild about 8 year old in his arms.
Anxiety was depicted on his co~untenance.
NThe little thing had great difficulty
in breathing, but retained breath enough
to make Rome howl. Calming the
father somewhat, we managed to learn
that the child had swallowed a quarter
Of a dollar, which had stuck in Its throat.

promised to do our best, and, as a clinic
wus in session, took the child and the
father into tho pit Of the amphitheatre,

before the students.

hook catches under the coin and it is

The professor worked away, and as
his efforts for a time proved unsuccess-
full, the anxiety on the face Of the father
became intense. He fidgeted and seemed
to think that all was lost. At length the
coin wa extricated and the boys stamped
their applause. The professor laid the
coin down on the table while he washed
his hands. This was the Italians chance,
and while the professors back was turned
he quickly transferred b quarter to his
pocket. The look OF distress vanished
from his countenance.

A machine for making wood WOOL

wood wool is coming rapidly into favor
among manufacturers of glass, cutlery,
confectionery, etc, for packing purposes
on o of its cleanliness and non.
microscopic properties, but its adoption
is hindered, among oth0r things, by its
comparatively high price. The new ma.
chine is intended to reduce the price, foi

is required by the machine, and all the

A peculiarly suspicious individual
named Mack was I'm charge OF the City
hall cigar store, when two dapper looking
young men entered. One carried in his
hand an envelope, which was addressed,
bot not sealed. Can you give me a ten
dollar note for these Ten bills:" he asked.

in this letter"
The ten dollar bill was Immediately
given to the young man, who apparently
put it in the letter. Mack counted the
bills given in exchange and found only
nine there. There is only 50 in this"
said he.
''oh. how can that beP' said the young
man. The old lady must have made a

have sealed it. don't want to open the
envelope again. Will you just hold the
letter with the $40 and 1 will take the 50

At Hong Kong it is hard to get Eng
fish sailors for any sum less than 60 los,
or nearly $40. per month. In many
cases shipmasters have been obliged tc
pay ns high as Go. 1t is quite a common
thing for the white sailors Of vessels from
American and European ports to desert
at Hong Kong, Shanghai or Yokohama,
and to replace them shippers have been
compelled TO seek native help. This has
given the almond-eyed individuals a
chance to learn %seafaring, and they have
succeeded so well that II rough estimate
by IN authority on the subject places the
number of Chinese sailors on vessels i'll

$1,000. Four-fifths of the number are
rated us A, BIS, or full-fledged sailors.

In one of the city schools a teacher,
with all the patience apd powers of per
suasion she could command, was en-
deavoring to instruct a class about a
right angle triangle. After several at
tempts she sailed the scholars to account
what she was saying seemed to go in one

asking: "Who can tell what a right angle

Up in our department there is a lady
the daughter Of q distinguished general,
now dead-who does a good deal of writ
ing for the cheaper class OF magazines,
and always has her manuscripts copied
by one the typewriters in the depart
ment. One day she took the manuscript
of a short article, written for : well
known woman's magazine, TO a young
lady who had recently been appointed as
copyist in the department to have it
transcribed.
The young woman, it seems, had had
some dealings with magazines herself,
and not being troubled with conscientious
scruples, she made two copies OF the
article, mailed one to n periodical to
which she had before sold some matter,
and under some Pretext delayed deliver
ing the other one to its author for some
time.
The article was promptly accepted and
a check for it sent to the typewriter.
Then the author of the article mailed it
to the magazine for which she intended
it, and u few days later there was an eX-
Plosion. 1t seems that the typewriter,
as such would have it, had mailed the
stolen matter to the very same editor
that its rightful owner had intended it
for. The offer of acopy OF manuscript
which he had already accepted or paid
for actually caused the editor to insti-
tute an inquiry, which in a very short
time led TO an exposure Of the fair type
writer's duplicity. She and the author
had an awful row. But the latter
couldn't very well lay the matter before
the chief and ask for the girls dismissal,
for of course she had no right 10 have
the matter copied in the office, and
didn't care about having the fact that
she had exposed. She will, however
have her manuscript copied elsewhere
in future.-Washington Critic.

Poor Humanity!

The common lot is one of sorrow say-at
least-the pessimist, they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would other
wise be bright existence, is often shadow
ed by some aimeht that overhangs it like a
pail, Obscuring perpetually the radience that
else would light the path. Such an ailment
and very common one, is nervousness, or
in other words, weakness of the nervous
system, condition only irTemedable where
inefficient or improper means are taken to
relieve it. The concurrent experience of
nervous people who have persistently used
Hostetters Stomach Bitters is, that it con-
quers entirely supersensitiveness of the
nerves, as well as diseases-so called-whch
are invited and sustained by their chronic
weakness. AS the nerves gain stamina from
from the great tonic the trouble disappears.
