The Gamin's Revenge.

A youth of the genus ''masher''
boarded a dinky car on Spring Garden
street, and after dropping his nickel in
the slot, which receives the fares in the
absence of a conductor, he perched
himself on the dasher of the rear plat
form, and from this point of vantage
ogled a number of young ladies inside
the car. Presently little street arab
jumped on the car for a free ride. The
masher snatched the ragged cap from
the youngsters head and threw it into
the street, compelling the owner to
jump of. After this bright perform
ance the perpetrator smiled in self
satisfied way at the lady passengers and
balanced himself on the dasher in what
he considered a graceful pose.
The street arab, however, having re-
covered his headgear, had followed the
car unseen, and creeping up behind the
unconscious masher seized his long
coattails and gave them strong pull.
The masher lost his equilibrium, fell
back over the dasher, but saved him.
self from falling into the street by
clinging to the dasher with his hands
and knees. From this undignified po-
sition he was rescued by the driver,
while the ladies snickered audibly. He
beat a hasty retreat, and found his erst-
while shiny plug battered and muddy
in the street half a square back. -Phila-

The story Of the obe1isk.

At Heliopolis was the Temple of the
Sun, and the schools which Herodotus
visited because the teachers are con-
sidered the most accomplished men in
Egypt" When Strabo came hither,
400 years later, he saw the house which
Plato had occupied. Moses here learned
"all the wisdom of the Egyptians. :"
Papyri describes Heliopolis as full of
obelisks." Two of these columns were
carried to Alexandria 1887 years ago
and set up before the Temple of Caesar.
According to one authority, this temple
was built by Cleopatra; in any case,
the two obelisks acquired the name of
Cleopatra's Needles, and though the
temple itself in time disappeared, they
remained where they had been placed
-one erect, one prostrate-until, in
recent years, one was given to London
and the other to New York.-Con-
stance F. Woolson in Harper's.
