Found Him At Last.

She had been away all summer. The
mountains had felt her stately tread;
the sea had taken her to its ever chang
ing bosom and folded her in its billowy
arms%
She had fiirted from Old Point to Bar
Harbor, from Mount Mitchell to the
Adirondacks.
She had tasted the sweets of hope; she
had drained the bitter cup of disappoint-
ment.
Now she is at home again.
Home, the Mecca of the weary pill
grim; the Canaan beyond the wilder
ness: the altar around which we all
kneel in thankfulness; the dear walls
which take us to their loving embrace
and hide us from the comfortless world
without.
Home again, and a peace had come to
her she had never known since she had
gone out in June as the birdlet from its
nest.
AT the front door her dear old father,
who had been at his desk ten hours daily
all the weary while she was away, met
her.
my daughterF' he said, holding out
his arms to her.
Like tlred Wdnuerer, EOOUSore anu
heartsick, she came to him.
Trustingly, confdingly, restfully. she
laid her soft white face, in its frame OF
golden hair, upon his bosom.
'.At last" she murmured, sat last
have found some one to be a pepper
to me-"
And tine dear old father, in. the tumul
tuous joy of having his darling child
again, didn't catch on.-Detroit Free

about mile above the Millard House
when they heard a peculiar, crashing
noise Looking up they saw on the cliffs
high above the stream, and about quar-
ter of a mile from them, two noble
bucks standing, with heads lowered,
about ten feet from each other. Thus
they stood eying each other and paving
the dirt for fully minute. Then they
made a Simultaneous spring, and came
together with a noise like a falling tree.
So violent was the conclusion that the
animals were thrown back until dis
tance of ten or fifteen again intervened
between them. The men, fascinated
with the sight, watched the deer go
through the same performance again
and again.
Finally, after a more than usually
violent rush, the bucks did not separate,
but struggled as if apparently trying to
push each other back. 1t soon became
plain to the men, however, that instead
of pushing they were pulling away from
each other. In other words their horns
had become locked, and from raging
combatants the bucks became fright
ened animals, and were only bent on Sc
curing divorce. Messrs. Ross, Pol
lock and party then conceived the idea
Of taking advantage of the helpless con-
dition of the bucks and capturing them.
They made great rush for the scene,
but before they reached it the deer in
their struggles approached too near the
edge of the cliff and both of them fell
to their death in the pool below. When
the party reached the water the. deer
were found locked in each others horns
quite dead.
The gentlemen thought to skin the
deer and bring in the hides to lend an all
of authenticity to the tale, but the law
is SO strict as to having in your posses
sion the hide of newly deceased deer.

grippe, commits suicide or falls ont of 9

what Is "Trottye"

I ask for information. 1 have been
reading lately a very clever novel about
English artist life and English smart
society. Twice over in thestory smart
young woman is made to describe GER
tain articles of costume in brides
trousseau as quite too awfully trotty
for words" have never to my knowl-
edge heard the phrase ''trotty" used in
that sense. Is it an epithet of London
smart society? IF so, what is its sup
posed derivation? Is it imported from
America, as most of our slang phrases
lately are? Any information ON this
point kindly supplied will be rewarded
with the best thanks of this writer who
feels considerable interest in slang,
but likes it genuine when he can get it.

Question of Telephone Charges.

A proposal has been made by DIR.
Strecker, of Berlin, which seems to solve
the question of telephone charges. He
proposes to levy a fundamental charge
to meet the expenses for installation,
maintenance and depreciation, in addi-
ton to time charge, to meet the work
ing expenses. Nothing could be fairer
than to charge for the use of the tele-
phone according to the duration of con-
versation, and DR.. Strecker proposes to
use clock which goes as long as the con-
versation lasts.-New York Telegram.

what Philadeiphia Eats.

During one year alone Philadelphia
has devoured 1856, ,475 slaughtered and
dressed calves, 511, ,142 sheep, 54S, S,940
hogs and 59, 800 barrels and 81 800 boxes
of poultry The hens who were spared
from the hatchet had to lay for the city
Is, ,9S4, 600 dozen eggs. Over 312, ,183 bar
rels of apples had to be shaken from the
trees and 3,063 carloads of potatoes dug
up from the ground. During the twelve
months the city made havoc of II, ,118
packages of dried green peas, 1875
packages of dried fruit and 355, 1897
packages of berries The cooks con-
sumed 16, ,4S9 tierces and 5,031 tubs of
lard, and in the kitchen and on the table
disappeared from view the tremendous
amount of 256,591 tubs, 81, 1884 frkins
and 81, ,S46 boxes of butter. A huge heap
of crackers must have been swallowed
along with the $3.50 big boxes of
cheese.
During one year Philadelphia con-
sumed nearly $500, 900 bushels of grain,
including nearly 1,500,O bushels of
corn, 7,508 bushels of wheat, SO, 425
bushels of rye, 1 ,056, 800 bushels of bar
ley and 203, 600 bushels of malt. Out of
these S77,50S bushels of wheat were
manufactured 1876, 5,002 barrels of -four,
and from this flour were baked 52, ,650,-
$40 loaves of bread. Most of the -four
used by the bakers and the good house
wives is shipped from the northwest, al
ready barreled. This manufactured into
bread would easily swell the total to
nearly 150, 200, 900 loaves, or their equiv
lent to certain extent in rolls, buns
and bakery.
Philadelphia eats daily an enormous
barbecue of $40 calves, 1 ,410 sheep, 1,51C
hogs and 1850 poultry, besides a huge
banquet of at least 100000 oysters
525, ,52S eggs, $50 barrels of apples and

A college President,s chase.

morning last week We're very much sur
prised to see President Eliot pursuing one
of the students as the men were leaving
the building. Those in the immediate
vicinity heard very short but animated
conversation. young man." said the
president to the individual in question,

opep Cars to BE Resnodeied.

..The days of the street car, grips as
well as trailers, having the seats ar
ranged crosswise instead of parallel with
the car, are numbered . This remark
was made a few days ago by well
known Chicago physician who is the
medical examiner for an accident insur-
ance company which insures the lives of
many street car employees as well as
patrons.
why do you say that?' was the query
of friend.
aFor this reason-the cars built with
the seats crosswise almost invariably
have footboards running alongside so
that the passenger may get on or OFF the
car 'at any spot in the road as the sport
would say, and these footboards facili-
tate a passenger in getting into danger
For instance. the. rules of all the car
companies require the passenger to get
on or off the car on the side nearest the
sidewalk This rule was intended to
keep the people off the track of the car
going in the opposite direction. But
these rules are not obeyed, and street
car companies must pay damages when
any one is hurt, and the conductor has
no opportunity to stop his car if the
passenger takes notion to get off with
out signaling him to stop, and many peo-
pie are injured while getting off a car
while it is in motion-sometimes by be-
ing struck by vehicle or another car,
sometimes by slipping on the treacher-
ous footboard or by making some kind
of misstep.
1.-The car with the end door as the only
means of exit is the one which protects
the company from many damage suits
The open car with the running foot
board may be cheaper in construction
but statistics will show that nine -tenths
of the accidents caused by getting or
and off cars occur on open cars or grips
with the cross seats and running foot
i boards. think there should be a city
ordinance against their use. Besides
the street car companies will some da,
awaken to the fact that cars of tina
style sometimes cause in one minuts
damage equal to their first cost. Chi

Rewards to the Good and Raj

Every schoolgirl and boy in Bellmore,
L. l., knows, Lawyer George A. Mott.
A few days ago he visited the village
school in that place with the pockets of
his overcoat bulging out with prizes for
the pupils. The prizes were for good
conduct and excellence in different
studies. More than a dozen boys and
girls were made happy. Two prizes
still remained, and then Mr.. Mott re-
quested the teacher, Miss Fish, to call
up the worst boy in the school. A bright
eyed urchin named Clinton Moore was
produced by Miss Fish in response to Mr..
Motifs request. He was presented with
one of the remaining prizes and promised
to try to do better. When Mr.. Mott
asked for the worst girl in the school
saucy Jennie Hicks raised her hand. She
received the other prize. New York

Cleaning = Marble Statue.

Commodore Perry's marble statue in
Cleveland, having acquired such heavy
coating of smoke and SCOT as to render it
unsightly. was recently scrubbed, but
with the effect of making it look worse
than ever. The black came off the ''high
lights and the smudge is deepened in
the shadows. And. though the brave old
sailor never did a mean thing in his life,
they now talk of giving him a coat of
whitewash. Cincinnati Times-Star.

this statute thousands of pounds of tea have

Again, sweepings from tea warehouses are

leaves gathered from the tea-houses are kept,
dried, and made over and find their way into

The English government attempts to stamp
this out by eonfscasi,n; but no tea is too
