She yObeyed Faithfully.

A certain theatrical manager of New
England, though we'll known throughout
the country as man who had very great
success in his business and is admitted to
be one of the shrewdest men in his profess
sion, has none the less had more stories
told about him, and most of them at his
expense, than any other impresario in the
country. AS a theatrical Mr.. Malaprop he
is without peer.
Still, here is a new story on him which
simply indicates the shrewdness of the man,
and a remarkably faithful though not too
intelligent carrying out of definite instruc-
tions. Our manager had a new company
on the road, and on sending it out he in
structed his hustling young manager to
telegraph him the receipts nightly at each
place where stop was made, and in so do
ing to be sure to add the sum of $500 to
the actual receipts.
The young man carefully followed his
instructions, and his employer would
proudly display the kilograms received in
the lobby of his own theatre, much to the
envy of his rivals in the road business. One
night the telegram came in, "Blankville,
Kan, receipts, $3.50" The next night came
another, "Townville, receipts, $500" These
were large figures for that part of the
country, and men who read were amazed.
The following night came dispatch even
more amazing: Durham, owing to rail
road accident, there was no performance.
Receipts, $500"
The young man had been faithful to the
last about that added 5000, but the telegram
staggered even his emp!Uyer.-New York

A Very Absentminded Old Man.

We have some curious customers oeca-
sionally. There is one absentminded old
gentleman who usually dimes at noon at a
hotel near by When he is in hurry he
takes luncheon here. The first time he
came here he forgot to pay up. Fortunate
ly, there were some gentlemen here who
identified him. The next time he came |
saw him eat meal that cost exactly fifteen
cents, but he wanted to pay the cashier 81.
Probably he was dreaming that he had
eaten his table d'hote dinner. The old gen.
tleman was greatly surprised when l told
him exactly what he had eaten, and he
thought that l was very smart to remem-
Der it all. / afterward learned that he al
ways carries his napkin home when he
dimes at his hotel. His wife has it washed
and returned the next day by mail.-Inter-

town, state, is Duu large family, and
what the domestic hearth was to the
house, that, the temple of the perpetual
fire, became to the city. Every town had
its Nesta or common hearth, and the colo
MES derived their fire from the mother
hearth.
Should a vestal maiden allow the sacred
fireto become extinguished she was beaten
by the grand pontiff till her blood flowed,
and the new fire was solemnly rekindled
by rubbing together of dry wood, or by
focusing of suns rays. 1t might not be
borrowed. The circular form and domed
roof of the Temple of Vesta were survivals
of the prehistoric huts of the aborigines,
which were invariably round.-Cornhill

One of the Elder Booths Good Deeds

One of the Elder Booths Good Deeds.
Here is story that illustrates the unos-
tentatious benevolence of Junius Brutus
Booth, whom his son Edwin much resem-
bles in that particular, as in his personality
and genius:
An old retired actor and manager in Bal
timore had been i'll for some time, and, as
he was held in high esteem, his friends ar
ranged for him a complimentary Uesti-
monial at the Holiday street theatre. Mr..
Booth was at that time manager of an
other theatre and, unsolicited, rendered q
benefit at his establishment to the same
gentlemen. Booth himself acted, and of
course the house was crowded.
After the performance he went to the box
Office, collected the entire receipts, and late
as it was took them to the house of the
beneficiary, and, spreading the money out
upon the table, said to him, "There is your
share"
But will you not deduct the expenses?"
asked his old friend.
1.-THE only expense incurred" said Booth,
"has been the bringing of the money to
you; hut as l walked the cost is merely shoe
leather, and l will not charge for that"
So saving he turned on his heel and left
the room before he could be thanked.-De-
troit Free Press.

Men Who Go to the Congressional Ii
brary for Aristocrstic Lineage.
With a sigh he closed the book over
which he had been porting for several
hours, and with considerable dignity,
dashed with disappointment, handed it to
one of the attendants. 1t was near the
time when the Congressional library in
Washington closes, and his days task was
ended. He probably returned the next
day or some other on a similar mission
and took his place. He was well dressed
that is, extensively. He carried pair of
tan gloves with his cane in his left hand,
which was encountered also with shiny
tile.
His countenance lacked the patrician
cast, and the pallor of his cheeks might
have come from studiOusness or from
cigarette smoking. The brown stains on
the middle fingers of his left hand were
large, and diamond ring on his middle
finger was rather too large and con-
spicuous. AS he passed out an habitue
winked at the reporter and remarked:
"He is looking for an ancestor"
For what?"
For an ancestor, and he has not found
him. Did you not observe the disappoint-
ment? Why, they come here nearly every
day and in considerable numbers to look
for lost ancestors. Sometimes they find
them-that is, some of them find their an
cestors, but the chaps like him never do l
suppose it is because they never had any.
oh, no, of course this is not a repository
for collection of forefathers," the gentle
man hastily added as he observed the re-
porter's gaze wandering among the piles
| of volumes that fill every nook and corner
of the place.
"They come here to look up the records.

pages are emblazoned the names of the

Grating Plums.

We have not cut down all our Wild Goose plum trees; only those too large to be grafted conveniently. Last spring package of trees containing several of the newer plums, De Soto, Wolf, Spaulding, etc, came to hand after the middle of April; and as tho shoots had made slight start in the way of growth, so that the sap in both stock and cion was nearly in the same condition, the thought of grating some of them on one of the Wild Goose trees came up; and side grating was adopt ed as giving loss check to tho stock. Getting ready, thin three-quarter chisel kept for the purpose was driven into the sides of several branches quite obliquely and to the depth of an inch or so. and cions fitted (wedge shape) to the sides of each incision were put in place and waxed carefully. None of the half expanded buds showed any signs Of wilting for several days and some Of them not for over week, but only one, the Spaulding, finally grew; and it did we'll. Whether the success was due to this variety being better adapted to the stock than the other, or to better workmanship can hardly be said. But the experiment Is worth trying again. That there is more than is generally believed in having cion and stock in about equal condition of growth, and both but slightly advanced. seems pretty clear at least so far as cherries and other stOpn fruits ora onprarnaI
 The other fruits, less difficult to work, do not seem to require such particular management. But we may add that one case at least of taking cions which had started to grow from one apple tree and graft them on another close by was very successful. The young leaves, however, which were fully half an inch in length, wilted and finally died at frst-that is, the outside ones--out every cion grew and did we'll. Tho wiltinc may have been due to ths warm. sunshiny weather which continued for week or so.
 Those whC have been unsuccessful in grating cherries, plums, etc, may find tiore encouragement in side gf@fting, when cion and stock have eoth made very slight growth and are about equally advanced. National Stockman.

plate glass IS almost prohibitory; but the small quantity which came in in 1889 was entered at the custom houses, &C., cdrding to the Treasury reports, at 32 40 cents. If we had bought our 25,oOo,OOO feet of glass in Europe at this price the total cost would have been $s, 10000 or saving to the consumers of Sl0,650, 900 in single year. Now this vast sum is a clean loss to the buyers of plate glass. Mir. Blaine says that protection is great distributor of wealth." Of course it is. Here is distributed Sl0, $50, ,0O0 in one year. But protection is also a col lector of wealth; the principal plate glass concern in this country cleared last year 34A per cent. on it's capital.
 The meat of the whole question lies in this case, and the question is, Does it pay to spend ten million a year in order to have it's nine or ten plate glass factories? Is not the country poorer by just tho amount of S10, $50, 900 by reason of man ufacturing it's own plate glass? Would you conduct your business on such prin- ciples? Would you insist that 1t would be true economy to make your own farm wagon, costing you two weeks of labor, when you might buy one with one week of labor put upon your wheat fields? Would you think you had saved anything by having found a new way in which to employ yourself?
 But this one case is enough; it con- tains all the elements of the question, "Can protection increase wealth?" What is true of plate glass will be found true of every other protected industry in which the duty is really protective. From one you can judge all This is a typical case, aud one of the greatest standbys of the protectionists. If plate glass is produced at a loss to the country, you may conclude that the whole system of protection is dead weight upon our progress-not a producer but destroyer of wealth. Yours truly
 RICHARD KNOX.
