Wall Street GRIZZLIES.

"Down in the district of town known
as Wall street." distinguished rail
road official said recently, a number
of sturdy men move about on crutches.
They have all their arms and legs;
their faces are as q rule the faces of
men whose lives are not too hard;
they do not sport the Grand Army
buttons. If you watch them you see
that they do not rely very greatly on
their crutches; that the crutches, to be
sure, are always under the arms in the
right position for use, but they
are used very seldom. One of
the church bearers will stand
and talk to q friend, holding the
crutches entirely off the sidewalk, and
will gesticulate with them violently;
then starting on he will let the
foot of the crutch touch ground
once in every three or four or half a
dozen steps. These gentlemen are
railroad cripples,' who are suing
railroad companies for alleged dam
ages; they go around with crutchss
so they can swear on the witness
stand that they were on clutches for
six months after the accident, on ac-
count of which they are suing. New

Country Life in the Argentine.

see the face of a man, woman, orchid
that does not wear a beStial and ferO-
cious expression. In the villages there
are no clubs, no libraries, no churches,
no priests, rarely even school. The
men and women work, eat, and sleep
and their only distraction is thegross

in the pulperia, with occasionally a
little knitting and revOlver-tiring. Dur
ing my whole stay in the Argentine,

General Surprise.

The man-eating tiger is a creature
both cunning and aUdacious. Onede-
scribed by Sir Samuel Baker, which
became the victim OF a practical joke,
was not the typical old and NANCY
animal; but a powerful beast, of al
most unexampled fer6city. 1t was a
therciIess highwayman, which infested
q portion Of the road, and frequently
carried off the drivers of bullock carts
to feast upon them in the jungle.
The natives feared to travel with
single cart, and it became the custom
to pass the dreaded spot with several
teams together. This, however,
proved vain precaution, for the tiger
seized the driver of the hindmost cart,
and made away with him. in spite of
the cries OF those left behind.
At length, Mr.. Duff, the superintend-
ent of police, provided two covered
carts, each drawn as usual, by two
bulIOcks. The leading one was fitted
with strong bars of bamboo, which
formed an impenetrable cage. In this
the driver was seated, and Mr.. Duff
himself sat with his face toward the
rear, prepared to fire throug the bars
at the moment of attack.
This would have been an exciting
time for the driver, but that individ-
ual was personated by a dummy
stuffed with straw, which might prove
tempting to the tigers eye, out would
hardly satisfy his palate.
Slowly the carts moved along the
dreaded path. Suddenly there was a
roar and a crash in the jungle. A
large tiger bounded forth, seized the
dummy driver, and dragged him away
Nothing could have been better
planned, but one chance, necessary to
success, had been forgotten. No soon
er had the tiger roared and bounded
upon the carts than the bullocks, ter
rihed beyond control, went full gallon
across the country, followed by the
other team, all in the widest panic.
1t was impossible to fire, and after
a few seconds of desperate chariot
racing, both carts capsized, and lay
with the animals, in q heap on the
ground. The victorious man-eater
victim of what he must have consid
cred a practical joke, was left to a dry
meal of a straw-stuffed carter, instead
of the juicy native he had expected tc
get.-1oEth's Companion.

The Critics True Function.

Your individual self-perfection is the
most laudable thing in the world to
strive for; but as the nucleus of q
gospel it is insipid. Frequent the
busy haunts of men who occupy
themselves with kindred pursuits
not literally, of necessity, but SYM
pathetically and in imagination. 1t is
in union that there is strength. Re-
mark tendencies, try to sum them up,
to point out their significance and di-
rectiOn. Few men can be Ruskins-
1T encore! And do not imagine that
.u.can permanently attach and ben
: your kind by the mere force of
Orrect, and chasUe diction on the one
hand, or of setting of an example
of repose and serenity on the other,
because nowadays warfare of any
kind-even literary criticism-is ac-
cuStOmed to weapons of more
robustness and reality, and in this
sphere preaching by specific precept
is far more efficient than preaching by
general example. And the most in
portant of all things is to be in har-
mony with ones time aud environ
ment. Be sure O critic! there is some
thing magic in this, however it may
transcend consciousness. See, for in
stance, now much finer is Mr. Wood
berry's essay on Browning a piece
of real criticism than are his lucubra-
tions about "the ideal life. "-Scribner.

An OK" for a Fec.


In former days doctors were occasionally
dif1ident about charging very large fees but
they liked to be paid "on the spot" when
they were called i'll or consulted. The de-
vices they resorted to in order TO obtain a
good fee were sometimes ingenious.
DIR. Senter of Boston, according to the
Youths Companion, always expected Zee
oil $40 tor a consultation; but the price was
regarded as so eXorbitant that he did not
actually require it.
However, he had little pile of ten dol
lar notes left upon his office table in plain
sight of his patients, and also in plain sight
OF his own watchtul eyes. Seeing those
new bills, looking as if they had been flung
down one by one by previous visitors, the
patient hardly had any choice but to add
one to the number.
One day merchant, known to the doctor
to the be wealthy, but somewhat avari-
ciOus, came to consult him and took much
of his time. In rising to go the patient
handed the doctor five dollar bill.
Dr. Senter at once put on his speCtacles,
got down on his knees, and began to look
about under the chairs and beside the table.
What are looking for?'' said the patient.
"Why, or the other one, said the doc
The other what?"
''The other bill. ALI didn't you drop
one?'
The merchant drew out a second five dol
lar bill, put it down upon the table with
out word and hurried out of the room
slamming the door behind him.

A Bad General Presumption.

I think it is not to be denied that
the rules by which testimony is ad-
mitted or excluded, originating in the
purpose of the English courts to pro-
tect innocent persons from prosecu-
tions often malicious, and accusa-
tions often false, under laws frequent
ly unjust and arbitrary, do now some
times produce effects unfair to society
and partial to the criminal class.
Taken in connection with the require
ment 0f b Unanimous verdict from
twelve jurors, selected by process that
carefully sits out intelligence and
competence, the result, in large pro-
portion of cases, is the escape of the
guilty at the cost and risk of the COM
munity. | am even tempted to go so
far as to say tkat in a large class of
criminal cases the presumption of in
nocence for the accused is, if not
wholly unfounded, at least much too
obstinately maintained, and that the
rights of society are ignored or violat-
ed.-Scribner.

An AnNRl in DiSUnisa

1fthe wives ofour employers were to take
the trouble to inquire a little closer into
the domestic lives Of the men employed by
their husbands, says Mr.. Box in The La
dies Home Journal this world would be
!ar brighter one for many a hardworked
woman who buries her trouble in her heart,
and wipes away the only outward trace of
it with her apron. / know of an employer
whose wife interested herselfin the lives of
the people in his store so that she ascer-
tanned the birthdays Oftheir wives, their
children, and even the wedding-da 1t
was done so quietly and SO sweetly that
none suspected her purpose. But now on
each festive day in those fl ty odd families
there comes some pleasant remembrance
1t is never the same, but ALWAYS something
that is just needed in that family at that
time. Every six month those husbands
find little difference in their salary en-
velopes. At Thanksgiving splendid bird
goes to each OF the houses in the EMPLOYERS
name: at Christmas time the hand oil the
wife is visible. Now that is practical char
ity. God only knows how many burdens
that one woman has made easier, how
many lives she has made brighter. None
of the women whose paths this one woman
has so pleasantly smoothed has ever seen
her! TO them she is like an invisible angel
of goodness, but many are the silent pray
ers that go up i'll those fifty homes Tor her
gentle consideration tor others.

Good News for burglars.

A new era has dawned for burglars
Speaking OF the robbery which wasrecently
committed at a bank in Hanover, the
Elektrotechnisch Zeitung says that though
it was supposed at the time that the thief
opened the safe by means OF a gas jet and
some sort of acid, it is extremely probable
that the robbery was accomplished by cleo.
trIcity. With the aid O. electricity, the
paper states, any SAFE however strong, can
be opened in the space Of thirty minutes.
To do so the safe should be connected
with one pole of the electric machine, while
to the other pole must be attached arbon
point. The latter pole should then be
placed against the sac, with The other a
short distance away. III a few seconds a
jet of fame will appear and this in few
minutes would render the iron of the safe
quite soft and easy TO cut. The whole
affair can be managed in very short time,
and without any noise or smell. Burglars,
as rule, would not even have to incum Der
themselves with tools, es many banks are
fitted with electric light, thus providing all
the requisite implements on the spot.

SLUM Der SONG.

The mill goes toiling slowly around,
With steady and solemn creak,
And my little one hears In the kindly sound
The voice ofthe old mill speak;
While round and round those big white
wings,
.dtimly and ghostlke creep,
My little one, hears that the old mill sings;
''SleGp; little tulip; sleep"
The sails are reefed and the nets are drawn,
And; over his pot ofbeef;. g., ,
The fisher, against the morro#'s dawn;
Justify maketh cheer.
He mOcks at the winds that caper along
From the faroff clamerous deep,
But we've love their lullaby song
Of"Sleep, little tulip, sleep"
Shaggy old Fritz, in slumber sound
GrOans of the stony mart
Tomorrow how proudly he'll trot you
around,
Hitched to our new milk cart!
And you shall help me blanket the kline,
And fold the gentle sheep,
And set the herring a-soak in brine
But now, little tulip sleep!
A Dream-One comes to button the eyes
That YEARLY droop and blink
While the old mill bullets the troWning
skies,
And scolds at the stars that wink
Over that beautiful Dream One sweep,
And, rocking your CRADLE she softly
sings
"Sleep, little tulip sleep"

Remedy. It's Catarrh. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,

how long standing, you can be cured.
lncurable cases are rare. It's worth

manufacturers Of DR.. Sage's Remedy

you that amount in cash, if they
can't cure you. It's a plain square
offer from a responsible business
house, and they mean it. 1t seems
too one-sided, too much of a risk.

cine behind it. 1t only goes to prove

quers the worst cases. 1t removes
