sour Little Dot. :"

A writer in the New York San de-
scribes a scene which he witnessed, late
one evening, in the streets of st. Louis.
A group of gamins We're hanging about
an old, gray haired woman, shabbily
dressed, who carried large package
under her arm. The writer of the sketch
followed, thinking to say something at
the right moment.
The boys We're jeering, and the woman
was begging to be let alone. By and by
she sat down on a doorstep. Then the
young Arabs gathered thickly around
her.
"Give us song, old woman!"
IF you'll dance us Jig, we'n let you
OFF,
@Open the bundle and let's see what
you've gotl"
When there was moment of silence
she replied:
Boys, come closer round me. I've got
something here to show you.
They crowded up to her, and she re-
moved the newspapers which concealed
the object she was carrying, and held Ii
up before them.
abombshell had dropped among them
it would not have scattered them more
quickly. What do you suppose it was?
A piece of board about three feet long by
a foot wide, painted white, and on it in
black letters the epitaph--
OUR LITTLE DOT.
DIED OCTOBER II, 1885.
It was the headstone of a child's
grave-such headstone as only the poor
and lowly erect over the grave of a loved
one. Out of pity for her poverty and
sorrow the painter may have done the
work for nothing.
The boys could read, and as each read
for himself he turned and vanished in
the darkness. The last one to go took off
his ragged cap and said:
"We didn't know it, aunty; please ex-
cuse us.

Recipes OF Longevity.

Freedom from care is about the only
incidental advantage that has been uni
versally recognized as a factor of longev-
ity. About hereditary predispositions
there is no doubt, but the comparative
benefits of cold and warm climates are
still controverted, and the possibility of
averting premature death by abstemious-
ness has been altogether denied by some
physicians who claim that tendency to
consumption and kindred disorders can
be counteracted only by a generous diet.
Teachers, parsons, pensioned officers, and
well to do farmers have attained longev-
ity in all parts of the civilized world, but
their health theories differ amazingly.
Baron de Waldeck ascribes his century
of physical vigor to the love for fresh air;

Fontenelle to his dread of late hours.
Having worked himself into a fever in
his 18th year by midnight studies, he

comfortable couch at p. M, aud divided
his journeys into small trips rather than
deviate from that rule. ITO what do you
chiefly attribute your continued health? 2"

DROVE OUT THE JEWS.
Refugees from Russia Meet . bloody Re-
ception at Jaffa.

LONDON. July 24-A telegram from
Constantinople says that serious anti
Jewish riot had taken place at Jaffa,
where Russian Jews have been arriving
in large numbers, despite the impera-
tive orders received by the authorities
from the porte that no Jews be per-
mi.ted to land except those go
ing on pilgrimage TO Jerusalem, and
these only upon solemn agreement to
return within a reasonable period. The
expelled Russian Jews. refused adj
mission into any of the coun-
tries abutting upon Russia, took
advantage OK the pilgrimage clause
and entered the Turkish territory in
such large mum bers>ns to at once arouse
suspicion that a large majority of the
"pilgrirns" were immigrants of most
undesirable kind Accordingly the
authorities absolutely refused to admit
any more of them, whether pill
grims or not, and the Jews stood firm
ly on their religious rights, which
they declared had been respected
by the government at Constantinople
and could not be ignored by any Of
the sultan's subordinates- The latter
did ignore them, however, and savage
fight ensued, in which a number of the
Jews were killed and a much larger
number injured and several soldiers
were hurt
