TO BE CONTINUED
Can Women Keep a Secret?

Every woman is not trusty any
more than every man; but quite as
many women as men are so. In truth
it may be doubted If there are not
more trusty women than there are
men. Secrets are seldom impaired to
persons who do not inspire confidence;
they who tell what they call secrets to
dozens of persons, without forming
any positive opinion of their discrim-
ination or reticence, are not apt to
have any secrets from the entire circle
of their acquaintance. They are mere
babblers, gossips, tattlers who try to
bestow some Importance on their COM
munications by declaring them to be
secrets. Such communications are
usually commonplace. or of so little
consequence as to make no distinct1m-
preston on the mind; needing to be
labelled priUate, lest they be thought
to belong to the public. Besides the
communicates are prone to the habit
of repeating their stories to every one
they can persuade to listen to them,
and then pronouncing them con-
fidential. To many to whom they
are thus disclosed the stories are al
ready familiar, and politeness alone
prevents the recipient from immediate
" saying as much. Candor and deli.
cacy compel these, when informed OF
their confidential character, to ac-
knowledge that they are by no means
new. But the babblers-men for the
most part-take no notice of this. They
GO their babbling round, and when
they hear their current tale, they like
to assume an injured air and to assert
that some COMPOUNDED woman has be.
trayed their confidence; that women
never can keep secret That wo.
men should owe, in any measure their
false reputation to such Ounce, is the
best evidence of its falsity-Junius

Rebuking a Greedy Client.

A Philadelphia lawyer, now dead,
who had a national reputation, says
the Philadelphia Record, having been
honored with high positions of trust
both at Washington and Harrisburg,
was famous for his tremendous
charges. One day client for whom
he had collected $1,000 called at his
Office to receive the money, and the
lawyer handed him a check for $780,
The client looked at it and remarked
that the lawyer must have made
mistake, and had given him the check
which he meant to keep for his fee
LET me look at the check" said the
attorney, and, glancing over it. he de-
clared it was all right, and no mistake
had been made. The client kicked
against a fee of 81, 400 for collecting
81, 500.
"Oh, well, if you want to be
hog about it, take that" said the man
of laws, impatiently, and he wrote out
another check. 1t was for $3.50, and
with that the client had to be content
the lawyer pocketing 1850.

Hig Clock.

The tower Of public building now
in course of erection at Philadelphia is
to be provided with a clock which for
size alone will be one of the marvels of
the world. The center OF the dial
twenty-five feet in diameter-will be-
351 feet above the street. The bell is
TO weigh between 10000 and 25, 200
pounds, and will be second in weight
to the great Montreal cathedral bell
which weighs $4,000 pounds and it is
calculated that its peal will be heard
even to the most distant part of tho
city. Chimes similar to those of West
minister will be used, ringing at the
quarter, half, three-quarters, and hour
The minute hand is to be twelve feet
and the hour hand nine feet in length,
while the Roman figures on the dial
will measure two feet eight inches in.

Results Of ImbibIng.

DIR. Shorthouse has been diagnosing
the effect of various Intoxicating
liquors on different parts of the cere-
bellum when imbibed not wisely but
too well" and the tendency of the re-
suit of his Investigations is to indicate
that inebriety can be reduced to an ex-
act science so far as its subsequent
demonstrations are concerned. Dr.
Shorthouse finds that good wine and
beer indiscreetly imbibed have the eff
feet of making a man fall on his side,
whisky, and especially Irish whisky on
his face. and cider and perry on his
back, these disturbaS ces of equilib-
rum corresponding exactly with
those caused by injury to the lateral
lobes and to the anterior and posterior
parts of the middle lobe of the cerebel-
lum respectively. Should the sound
ness of DIR. Sborthouse's theories be
established the future labors of the
statistician and the scientist in deter
mining the popular use and abuse OF
spirituous liquors will be materially
lessened by the testimony of the city
policeman.

HE cODDLED THE BABY.
His VITO Testified Against Him In .

Suit for Support.
One sees odd sights in a police court
but few moro curious than that OF the
woman who testifies to her husbands
cruelty or urges that he be- made to
support her, and who, before begin
ming to make her points against him,
turns to him and bids him hold the
baby. The couple have not lived to-
gether perhaps for months, says the
New York Recorder their domestic
relations are worse than strained, but
when the wife must have her arms free
to impress the judge by the eloquence
Of her gestures, she falls back at once
upon the accustomed and natural baby
holder.
take her." she says; and he takes
her and sits tending her while her
mother describes his iniquities.
Give her to me-" she says when
she has finished, and he stolidly sur
renders the infant, for these little
scenes 90 not often end as they would
in q novel, in reconciliation. Three
dollars q week for the mother is the
more usual conclusion.

from the mans wages after his own

judge may ask him.
"Well, So for my board and say 81

Halve the Sc remaining and there

the judges pardon. The woman had

there's a shrewd common sense and q
rough kindness about these things
often that does not always appear from
the outside. The woman is far mora
likely to get her So or her s. regularly
and to be able to count on some defin-
tie assistance from them in the battle
OF life than would be the case If the
Judge had awarded her any larger
sum.

BORNIN THE SKY.
Possible Reason why Fishes and Frogs
Come Down In Showers.

fosslDle keason why flsneS ana frogs
Come Down In Showers.
A writer in NatuIe's Realm says that
little fishes may be Matched in the
clouds. What he says about it is so
interesting that his whole letter is
herewith given:
II observe a reference made in the
American Angler touching upon show
ers of fishes, in which it states that
science has not yet fully explained the
phenomena This is, perhaps, slight
ly incorrect. Several causes have.
been suggested. Might it not very
probably be that fish and frogs which
tall apparently from the skies are
really bred therep Water fowl, it ia
known, very frequently carry eggs OF
fish to great distances, having
swallowed them, and in their flight
disgorging the same unframed where
they can and do fructify and mature in,
water over which these birds pass.
The eggs of many old fish are very
glutinous, and readily adhere to sub
stances brought in contact with them
during particular times OF their incuba-
ton. 1t is not very probable that not
only do these birds convey ova upon
their wings as well as in their crops,
and when flying at great heights the
ova becoming detached from theiS
wings, may remain suspended in thu
moist atmosphere, which is quite pos
sible under certain conditions of al
mospherical pressure. and that whea
under development they become too
heavy and naturally fall to the earth.

An Odd Relic.

A most singular relic was exhibited
at a meeting at Calcutta of the Asiatic
society of Bengal, consisting Of piece
Of cable, the rubber covering of which
had been pierced by blade OF grass.
The piercing was so complete and the
contact with the copper core so per-
feet that the efficiency Of the cable was
destroyed.

WHY?

Why canst thou not, as others do,
Look on me with unwounding eyesi
And yet look sweet, but yet not SO;
Smile, but not in killing wise;
Arm not thy graces to confound;
Only look, but do not wound.
Why should my eyes see more in you
Than they can see in all the rests
For can others beauties view,
And not find my heart oppressed.
o, be as others are to me,
Or let me be more to thee.

Netting sparrows.

Cairo, ILL.,, boys are doing a whole
sale business in sparrows. The birds
make roost in an old chimney in az
abandoned house. The boys have
secured n net, and after the birds go to
roost at night they spread the net over
the chimney's top. Every morning
they have from fifty to 200 sparrows,

From the New York Sun.l

The death of Mr.. Barney, the superin-
tendent of the Lake George and Lake Cham
plain Transportation company, is almost
more affecting than the heroic death of
young Brokaw. 1t is the height of heroism
to give ones life for another human being,
under the inspiration only of the impulse to
save life, but perhaps the heart is even more
deeply stirred when father lays down his
life for his SON What can he imagined
more pathetic than the tragedy Off Fourteen
Mile Island The little boy slipped and fell
into the lake. Instantly the father plunged
head first after him, striking on a sunken
spur of rock, but grasping instinctvely the
body OF his child, and when Mr.. Barney
was drawn to shore with the boy in his arms
the boy was safe, but the father was dying
hlay the memory Of his father ever conse-
crate the boys lie to noble deeds
