Ills Imitation of a Squeaking Spindle
Proves an Unpleasant Joke.
During a sea voyage ventriloquist
made friends with the engineer of the
ship, and was allowed to enter the en-
gine-room. He took seat in the corner,
and pulling his hat down over his eyes
appeared to be lost in reverie. Pres
emily a certain part of the machinery
began to squeak. The engineer oiled it,
and went about his usual duties. In the
course of few minutes the squeaking
was heard again, and the engineer
rushed out can in hand, to lubricate the
same spindle. Again he returned to his
post, but it was only few minutes
until the same old spindle was squeak
ing louder than ever,
"Confound the thing!" he yelled. ut
is bewitched!''
More oil was administered, but the
engineer began to be suspicious as to it's
cause. Soon the spindle began to squeak
again, and, slipping up behind the ven
triloQuist, the engineer squirted half a
pint of oil down the joller's back.
There, said he, that spindle won't
squeak any more. "-London Tid-Bits.

AL.arco Gum Tree.

What is probably one of the largest
specimens of the tupelo or sour gum in
the United States was found recently
growing in the Ocmulgee river swamp,
near Abbeville, Ga. 1t towers above
the surrounding forests of immense
trees, and is more than twelve feet in
diameter. There is large hollow at
the base, which extends upward for c
distance of fifteen feet, with an aper.
ture large enough to admit a tall man.
The tupelo gum, which is botanieally
known as nySsa Gquatica, delights in
swampy places, where it is frequently
found growing among deciduous cy'
press, and eudeavoring, apparently, tc
initiate it by sending from among its
roots rudimentary "knees," similar tc

Dust and tho Complexion.

Dust is the great enemy of health and
of women's good looks 1t settles in
the skin, especially where there is a
little steam to help it; the wax and oily
matter of the skin fix it till no ordinary
washing will remove it. Wrinkles arc
accumulated by it. as they have deeper
bed to draw in the dust with the stylus
of time That is the reason SO many
women look about ten years younger
when they find time to take their hot
bath and the vapor has fifteen Pinutes
or more to soften the tissues There is
nothing like steam for Pumping up the
skin and washing out the CRIME which
clouds every complexion not daily
treated to soap and hot water. How
many have the heating pipes of the
furnace cleared Of the years accumu-
lation of dust? from the pipe coils it
is ready to enter lungs and skin, and,
being deades of all dead matter, it is
itself death to hair, to freshness of
complexion and genera. vigor. Shirley

OESCURITY.

TAaye seen pure, white lily
Rear itsstately, queenly head
In close, secluded corner,
Where no ray Of light was shed
have noticed twas surrounded
BY unSainly, scent!ess flowers,
But they did not mar its beauty,
as it bloomed away the hours.
No! It's purity and freshness
BY the contrast was increased;
To remember the great lesson
That 1t taught, have not ceased.
AS that lily through the summer,
Mid surroundings coarse, could boom,
Almost hidden from the sunshine,
Casting, yet, its sweet perfume,
So may lives refined and noble
Often flourish in the shade.
Basking only in the sunlight
That their own pure thoughts have
made.
Though the song they sing may never
BY the world ut large be heard,
In some heart, toil.wcrn and weary,
Good impulses may be stirred.
And the gracious, tender Father
Loves that unknown soul tho same
AS tho one whose Eane is written
On the broad white scroll of fame.

friend.
"Half dreaming, half musing," was
the reply as the young fellow stretched
himself. MY grandfather has been
telling of the hardships of early days,
and was wondering what Id tell my
grandchildren in that line"
Couldn't think of much, could you:
"Well, l don't know. Hardship is
hardship only By comparison with lux

hardship of the next. Now l conjured
up picture of my grandchild sitting on

Several men had gathered around the

"Djd you tell story?"

A Newsboy Who Could Not Stand Dudes
Frees His Youthful Mind.

A Newsboy Who Could Not Stand Dudes
Frees His Youthful Mind.
A number of passengers about to cross
the bridge from Brooklyn witnessed an
amusing scene the other day.
A gentleman who had just purchased
ticket, in gathering his change from
the ticket sellers window let fall from
his hand a quantity of coins-cents,
nickels and dimes. They scattered in
all directions over the muddy pavement.
A little urchin of newsboy, from
whom the gentleman had bought a
paper for which he had not yet paid,
went to the rescue of the truant coins
At almost the same moment another
little fellow clad in the familiar costume
of II little Lord Fauntleroy-leathcr
lcggings, gloves, long hair and all
hove in sight. He was accompanied by
a fashionably attired lady, evidently his
mother.
Human nature is very strong in boy,
even a Lord Fauntleroy. Espying a
dime the newcomer forgot the dignity
of his exalted rank. lie stopped down
and with his diminutive hand picked
from the muddy pavement the coin,
which he promptly pocketed
The tatterdcmalion saw the act and
made grab for Fauntlcroy, who chung

The mother of the little aristocrat

I'll have you arrested, you young
scoundrel."
Il amt no scoundrel, said the gamin,
dropping his hands and releasing the
little lord. make yer kid give up de

Little Fauntlcr0y was pleased enough
to be released from the clutch of the
two begrimed little hands of the news
boy. lie gave up the money readily
enough, and with his mother, who hac
brushed the dirt off the miniature box
coat sleeves, he FASTENED on his way tC
New York to make society call. The
newsboy watched the retreating form:
contemptuously.
Say, boss" he said, returning to the
gentleman, who had watched the affair
with interest and yet unable to take
any part in it, so rapidly had the entire
scene been enacted
Say, boss" continued the boy, ''da

QUEER HIDING PLACES.
Where Women Sometimes Carry Their
Money and Yaluablcs.

Money and Yaluablcs.
The lamented Emma Abbot carried
her most valuable jewels constantly
with her secured in a petticoat pocket.
A great many wealthy WON n out of the
profession do the same thing. The
chamois pocket in the underSkirt is Il
favorite jewel-bag, and is often made
use of in travelling. Women are still
fond, however, of thrusting bills into an
envelope and pinning them inside their
stays. An amusing incident, growing
out of this practice, was witnessed in d
Fifth ave ne stage, New York, very re-
Gently. Three young women, evidently
strangers in the city from their talk,
got on in lower Fifth avenue, finding
separate places in the well-filled We
hicle. Two made no move to pay
fares, but the third, who was presume
bly, the treasurer of the party, took out
her purse and looked for coin. There
was none inside. She searched through
twice, then caught the eye of each of
her companions and rapidly telegraphed
her dilemma. They had no money, and
as the situation and it's one relief
dawned upon them their faces were
divided between "a desire to laugh and
impending fear lest their dignity might
be assailed. Meanwhile, the driver
rang for attention, and the first young
woman. endeavoriug to assume a stolid
appearance, began operations. Money
she evidently had but it was in rather
an inaccessible place. She wore a snug
fitting tailor-made jacket, whose but
tons yielded stubbornly to her gloved
fingers. Beneath was still more snug
Citing tailor-made bodice. Confessedly
nervous now, and with progress further
impeded by the drivers opportunities, a
couple of the small bodice buttons were
lcosened and poking fingers endeavored
to draw out the concealed funds. This
did uot answer. however, and, desperate
at last, the girl peeled off her glove and
succeeded in her quest, but not until the
risibilities of the entire stage full of
people had been severely strained

The Richest Man in America.

Men in position to judge of the for
tunes of the wealthy men of the coun-
try are beginning to agree that Mr..
Rockefeller is the richest man in the
United States, and consequently in
America. The collective wealth of the
Astors or Vanderbilts is greater than
his but it is averred that no individual
Astor or Vanderbilt is as wealthy. Jay
Gould is reckoned many millions below
him in actual riches. Judge Stevenson
Burke, the Cleveland attorney, capital
ist and railroad man, told me recently
that Mr.. Rockefeller was the richest
man in America. The judge was
formerly an attorney of the Vanderbilts
and has had dealings with Jay Gould, SO
that he is in a position to judge. He
thinks that Mr.. Rockefeller's yearly III
