A Jersey Jay Pulverizes a City
3 Dude.

Some time since, says the Philadel-
phia Press, a very pretty German
town girl sat in a bob-tail car, and
opposite her was a young man who
made many apparent attempts to
begin a Irritation.
Next to the young lady was an
awkward-looking youth, brawny and
tall, who evidently lived on a farm in
New Jersey. He observed the ogling
of the man across the car for some
minutes, while his face assumed an
expression of great disgust, Turn
ing to the young lady hes tammered:
Don't you want that fule to stop?"
The young lady said she did. The
Jerseyman arose and without further
ado grasped the firtatious youth by
the neck with one hand, yanked the
bell-strap with the other, opened the
doorjammed the prisoner through it,
and as he went ont administered a
parting kick. Then the farmer sat
down again by the young lady, muir
muring:

A Car with a history,

The railway car in which Abraham
Lincoln rode in from his home to
Washington to take his oath as
president of the United States is going
to decay.
The car is No. $40 and is the prop
erty OF the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad company. 1t
is now run on the Fall Brook road
daily between Wellsboro and Antrim,
and used as a common smoking car.
The a may be seen any day in the
week between the trips on a side track
ut the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western passenger station in Elmira.
1t is worn and weather beaten ex-
ternally, and has the appearance of
being an emigrant passenger coach.
1t was built at the West Albany
shops thirty years ago, and at that
time was considered the acme of rail-
way coach architecture. The seats
are stiff and uncomfortable, with iron
arms. The arrangement, for ventil-
alton and heating we're very crude,
but this lack of comfort was made up
in the gaudy decorations that adorn
the panneling overhead. Landscapes
and railway views are depicted in
high colors, with more or less accura-
cy, while really good oil portraits
of Washington and Lincoln are paint
ed on the end PANELS of the car

No Tips For Girls,

I went into a Clark street restau-
rant where girls are employed as
walters. l saw q man give one of
them a "tip." called the pe&ticoat-
ed garcon to my table and asked her
fit was customary for girls to get
fees-or s'tips," as it is most general
ly called-for service. She said no,
and she said it with an emphasis and
intentness that would have aston
ished me if I had been q younger
man. 81 have been in this business"
she said, 'tor many years, and this
is the first time-the very first time
Il ever had a tip. I have worked
in some of tie big restaurants of the
country, but I never saw a girl re-
ceive a tip. I worked in q Phil
adelphia restaurant where men and
girls were both employed. I have
seen the customers fee the men. but
never a fee for the poorgirls. Ihave
even seen women fee men walters,
but never did I see one of my q wn
sex fee one OF her own sex. We sure
not allowed to receive tips, that is,
we are told not to, but this is the
first time l ever had the opportunity
to refuse. I have often wondered
why men get fees and women don't.'

Joking With

Sea birds are always interesting OBJ

Ocean. They follow q vessel some.
times all the way across, ever restless
and untiring. The gulls particularly,
with their long, swift wings, realize
the highest powers ofendurance, and
fly with ease against the severest
storms. Some say that these birds
never visit the earth except to de-
post their eggs; otherwise they live
constantly between the sea and sky.
In fine weather they fly high in the
air, defending with great rapidity to
seize the fishes on the surface of the
water. The symmetry and strength
Of the gulls are remarkable, showing
how nature has adapted them in
every particular for the purpose OF
long flight. Their pectoral or breast
muscles, r. one solid mass of firm,
hard muscle, and their bones are hol-
low, having no marrow in them.
Sleep is not necessary to them; or.
rather, they rest upon their wings and
allow themselves to be Graded by the
breezes, whose violence neither wor,
ries nor frightens them. On the 9TH
er hand, they seem to feel a fierce de-
light in the fury of the storm, which,
CONFUSING the waves, brings up the
dead fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond Of playing of
ajoke upon the gulls, which are al
ways lowering about the ships. They
take three or four pieces of sail Irvine
about 6 feetin length. These are tied
together in the middle, and to the end
of each a small piece of blubber or fat
is attached tightly and then thrown
into the sea. A gull comes along and
swallows n piece. Another then
sees there is plenty tospare andthen
swallows the next. Prehaps a third
bird takes possession ofanother, but,
as they are all attached to the sail
yarns, whenever they try to fly away
one or the other is compelled to dis.
gorge his share, and this is continued
to the tantalizing suspense of the
poor gulls and the great fun of the
passengers and sailors.

Frances First Newspaper.

The origin of the newspaper in
France was peculiar. During the
early part of the Seventeenth cen
fury, a physician named Renaudot
resided in Paris. He was an inveter-
ate gossip, and owned much of his
professional success to his reputation
as a collector of news, patients seek
ing him as much to obtain tidings of
what was going on in the world as
on account of his medical proficiency.
In order to increase the number of
his patients he obtained permission
from the government to print a sheet
every week for distribution among
his clientele. The first ofthese sheets
appeared in 1882, and so great was
their popularity that the ingenious
physician soon had many imitators.
The first publications in all countries
were in the nature of news letters, ir-
regular ephemeral sheets, with ir-
responsible editors, nextfollowed the
weekly, and finally the daily.-Cur-

The "Little ~BreeCheS."

1t was during Governor Ben For.
aker's schoolboy days that the Incl
dent occurred whose relation in the
newspapers years afterward won for
him in his first gubernatorial cam
paign in 1883 the sobriquet of "Lit'
tie Breeches."
One very busy Summer when Ben
was eight or nine years old and going
to a Summer school, his pants gave
out. They had previously been
patched by his Industrious mother in
the late evenings after Ben had gone
to bed. But now they had given out
beyond the possibility Of any more
patching.
The day this happened, while poor,
blushing Benny was studying at
school and trying Is best he could to
hide the rents in his pants, his loving
mother was planning and continuing
how she could rig him out with a new
pair.
Her sister, Julia Scott, had come
over that morning to help with the
days work. So Julia Scott and
Maggie Foraker put their wits to
work to see what they could do in
the matter of breeches for poor Ben
ny.
Haven't you any cloth at all in
the house?" asked sister Julia Scott
-"no old thing you could make over
no nothing"
"No; nothing but that jeans in the
loom, and I have no time to weave"
"Now, Maggie, just Think" per-
sisted Ben'ssympathizing Aunt Julia,
"haven't you any old bag that we
could cut up?"
"Why, we bought a new sack of
coffee when the men were coming to
fix the dam. The coffee sack is
double, and the inside sack is pretty
strong, good stuff"
"Get it," said Aunt Julia, "and I'll
help you make the breeches. Well
make it do somehow"
That night, when bushing and hon
est-hearted Benny came home from
school, he was told that he would
have a new pair of pants in the
morning.
The next morning Ben put them on
with some disappointment in his
and heart countenance.
While his mother was putting up
his dinner for him to carry to school,
Ben sided up to her, and, with tears
in his eyes, a tremble in his voice,
and deep sorrow in his sensitive soul,
he said:
"Mother, Ican't these breeches
to school. All the boys and girls will
laugh at me-"
ooh, never mind" said the CHEEKY
voiced mother, kindly hiding a
motherly sympathy that AZ pain
ing her own heart.
"Never mind. Let'em laugh if
they want to. You just study hard,
and when you get to be a smart and
learned man, nobody will ask you
what kind of breeches you wore when
you went to school,"
So Benny went to school with his
c%ofeesack breaches and 'let 'em
laugh"

He Would Not Try Again.

A party of militia men were having
a prize shoot one day, turkeys being
the marks and prizes, when the late
DR.. Hardy came along and they
urged him to try his hand. He was
a little reluctant to do SO, knowing
that he could readily outshoot any
of them, but finally acceded and was
just aiming al ordinary shotgun
loaded with buckshot at one of the
turkeys when he saw an eagle in
rapid flight high up in the air. The
doctor aimed at the eagle and by a
marvellous shot killed it. The royal
American bird f1oated to the ground
and all the marksmen looked at DR..
Hardy with awe as a king of sharp
shooters. 1t was luck, but it es-
tablished his reputation.-Bango
