A Bow. nrilliant Fxpedient.

A little boy dropped his drumstick into
well. In vain he entreated papa, mamma,
the gardener, the footman, the euachman,
the cook, the housemaids, to go down into
the we'll TO recover the drumstick. In this
distress brilliant eNpedient occurred TO
Master Tommy. He secretly carried off
all the plate from the sideboard and threw
it down into the we'll. Great was the con-
sternation when the plate was missed,
and an active search for the robbers took
place, In the midst of the alarm and con-
fusion Master Tommy runs in out of
breath with the news that he had found
the plate. 'Where'" was the cry. Down
the well, " replied Tommy. Il see it quite
plain, shining at the bottom-spoons,
ladies. bread baskets, salvers and all. y
The family hurried to the well, at the bot
tom of which, sure enough, the plate was
seen. A ladder was procured, a servant
descended, and the plate was brought up.
just before the last article. was ished up
Master Tommy whispered to the servants:
"John, will thank you TO bring up my
drumstick when you go down for the soup
ladle. New York Evening World

Hampson, in his "Medii CEVl. Kalan-
darium," quotes the following quaint
tradition from an old Saxon treatise:
Some assert that the bissextus or leap
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one days length, that he might
sweep the heather from the land that
God had granted him and his followers.
1t is true that the sun did stand still for
one days length over the city of Gebaon,
but the day went forward in the same
manner as other days. Aud the bissex-
tus is not through that, as some do
think In France and some parts of
Spain and Portugal there exists ira
dition known as the ghost of leap
year Believers in this say that mar
vellous monster annually appears on
leap day and disarranges human affairs
for the remainder of the year. -St. Louis

The old adage, mo breakfast, no man."
is perhaps as true in some form today as
when first formulated, although of late
years the ideas of people concerning break
fast have undergone radical change.
For the laborng man and for the man of
much physical exercise heavy breakfast
is necessary, but for the man or woman
Of sedentary habits a light breakfast is
doubtless much better. In any case,
fruit should always be found at break
fast. Many prefer it after the meal, but
it is not only more digestible but
assists the digestion more surely if used
at the beginning of the meal For a light
breakfast the fruit should be followed by
one of aese cereals in some form with
cream, which is more nourishing than
milk, and by many as easily digested.
This, followed by delicate dry toast or
rolls, with coffee, tea or chocolate, and
perhaps eggs in some form, makes a
breakfast so easily digested that many
persons can co far more work on it than
on heavier food liable Talk.

Growth of the South.

The summary of industrial statistics
which has been made by southern
trade Journal, discloses a progress along
the lines of diversified development which
will be a surprise even to those who
have f5ncied that they appreciated the
changes which are in progress in that
section Twenty-Five factories for max
ing agricultural implements, % car works,
14i cotton and wooden mills, 1S4 foun-
dries aud machine shops, % blast fur
naces, 504 mines and quarries, 90 rolling
mills. These are a few items in long
list of industries begun or established
during single year in thirteen states.
Such an industrial development as this, SO
rapid and SO varied, shows the necessity
of recognizing the new impulses and con-
ditions which prevail in the south and are
changing the character, traditions and as
pirations of the people of that section. 1t
would be impossible that popular views
upon economic questions should not be in
flueneed by such industrial changes

Homer W. Crawford was born in
Columbiana county, Ohio, June I6,
1865. of Seotch-lrish parents Public
attention was first attracted toward
him by some remarkably long tours he
made on a bicycle. developing the fact
that his powers of endurance were be-
yond the ordinary limit. He contested
in a ten mile race at Salem. Ohio, Oct
10, 1889, for purse of $50, his COM
petitor being w. Il. Faucet, who,
mounted ON AN ordinary, won in thirty
seven minutes. Crawford was handi-
capped by riding safety. In the fall
of the same year lie turned his atten-
ton to Indian club swinging, and
on Arril 3, 1890, in q. A. r.
Hall. at New Lisbon, he broke the
worlds record by swinging for six hours
and thirty-one minutes clubs weighing
eight pounds and ten pounds each. On
March II, 1891, he regained the premier
position (which had been wrested from
him by Brown of Maine). On this oc-
casion he eclipsed all former perform
ances in this line by swinging ten
pound clubs continuously for seven
hours. He stands feet inches in
eight. and IN condition weighs 149
pounds He has local fame as dunn b.

Trick of the PawnshopS.

BY a previous understanding with the
pledger, pawnbrokers sometimes loan on
diamond rings or watches more than the
articles are actually worth. The pledger
then disposes of the ticket at slight ad

article at q high figure, fsncying that he
has bargain. In London they have
gone so far MS to drop such tickets in the
street, in the expectation that whoever
finds them will redeem the pledges
