THE LADIES'.
AN ORIGINAL AND THRIFTY MAIDEN.

Here is story of an original and
thrifty maiden. For many years she
boarded the envelopes of all the letters
she received. And when she had accu-
mulated enough for her purpose she
papered the wall of her bedroom with
them. The letters were from all manner
of people and all manner of places.
And thus the young lady kept ever be-
fore her eyes reminiscences-pleasant
or painful, amusing or narrowing of all
her dearest friends. Her love letters
she used for dado, with the signatures
cut off, of course.-[ New York Press.

as reward for the plucky and resolute
manner in which they, some time ago,
saved two men from drowning outside
the Lervik lighthouse. They witnessed
the men capsize from the lighthouse, and,
although there was strong wind and a
heavy sea, they at once entered small
boat that was lying close by, and without
thinking of the danger to which they ex,
posed themselves, they rowed out and
saved the two men, who would undoubt-
edly have drowned had it not been foi
their aid. Two other Norwegian women

comment. Any discussion of the causes
of and the remedies for this humiliating
state of things, must attract wide atten-
ton. Mr.. Charles H. Cramp, the presi-
dent of the great Philadelphia company
that is building SO many of our war
ships, treats the matter in the Forum,
and, after an historical review of the
subject, comes to the conclusion that the
different attitudes of the British Gov
ernment and our own toward shipbuild-
ers is largely responsible for the state of
our merchant marine. This country, he
thinks, will never have fleet of mer-
chant vessels SO long as the United
States Government pursues its present
policy. Two decades of liberal treat
ment of shipbuilders, he thinks, would
place us far in advance of England on
the seas.
IT will surprise many readers to be
told that large and strikingly marked
duck, which within fifty years was mod
erately common upon the Northern At
lantic coast, is beloved now to have be-
come extinct. A lad shot one in New
York on the Chemung River December
IL, 1878, and none have been seen since.
The last one known to have been seen
before that time was killed at Grand
Manan in April, 1871. The one killed
in 1873 was eaten before any naturalist
heard of its capture-a costly meal, as,
according to Doctor Coues, two hundred
dollars has been vainly offered for pai1
of skins. The head and portion of the
neck were preserved. The history OF
the duck in question, the Labrador Duck
or the Pied Duck, is made the subject of
an article by Mr.. William butcher in a
recent number of the AUX. Only thirty
eight specimens are known to be extant

FIRE BOAT PLANS.

A very interesting communication on
the subject OF fireboat is furnished by
an expert correspondent in engineering
matters. Of his arguments on the
efficiency of ireboat not much need be
said, the forcible way of putting it being
only an enlargement of what has already
been placed before the public. On the phase
of the case that the proposed addition to
our fire department must be of different
plan from those used in other cities, it is
well to perceive from the first that this is
part of the proposition.
Anyone who gives the subject the
slightest consideration will perceive that
fireboat to do good service about our
city must have very different hull from
those in cities surrounded by deep water
navigation. But that presents no insuper-
able obstacles. 1t has been demonstrated
already that hulls with carrying capacity
of hundreds of tons can be built to draw
not over three or four feet Such hulls
would not, of course, be seaworthy if ex-
posed to the waves of lake and ocean: but
they serve the purposes of our rivers ad-
mirably. 1t is plain that the fire apparatus
must be. e.designed for mounting on such a
hull: but there is little doubt that intelli-
gent construction can adapt it to that
purpose.
The suggestion of our contributor that a
prize be offered for competitive plans to
develop the best arrangement on boat of
this sort is good one. Certainly, those
who have the fireboat project in charge
should take every means for securing the
combination of greatest possible power
with least possible draught

ALLEGHENY COUNTY rAxABLEs.

The annual report of the County Com
missioners to the Secretary of Internal
Affairs has been prepared, and it makes in
teresting reading inasmuch as it shows the
great prosperity of Allegheny county in
every way. There has been splendid in
crease in the county's wealth during the
past year, and now the taxable property
amounts to considerably more than a
quarter of billion.
Allegheny county is to be congratulated
on the increases of the past twelve months
While other communities have been con-
vulsed with business calamities of greatim-
portance Pittsburg was comparatively free
from them and has continued to advance
in wealth, with even greater rapidity than
before This is clearly indicated in the
report, wherein is shown the value of all
taxable properties, personal and real. The
most significant figures are those showing
the salaries and wages paid in one year,
which will compare favorably with the
best cities of the world.

FAITH VS.. WORLDLY PRACTICE.

The remarkable feature of the remarka-
BILE rush that has been going on lately at
Father Mollinger's shrine on Troy Hill, in
the shape of fees to attendants to give the
bribers priority, attracted the attention of
that good priest yesterday. 1t is one of
the unique features of the pecunlary
standard of to-day that people who flock
to that place in the hope of being cured of
their ills by the aid of Divine power at
once fall into the vice of thinking that
they can buy their way in. 1t is more re-
markable that those whose faith leads
them to the expectation of special ex
ertion of special providence on their
behalf should not perceive the impossi-
bility of resorting to the aid Of Mammon
in such pilgrimage, than that attendants
may have found places there whose most
active purpose is to make money for them
selves.
The words Of Father Mollinger on this
subject should put stop to any such
practice. Of course, he declares that no
one has any right to receive money! but
he makes a more thorough prohibition of
such practices by pointing out that the
DIlUt-SlNeI ID tS Uttu do Glo Dliuo-1hhol, dHU
how impossible it is that any one can ex-
pect an especial blessing after he has paid
money to some one to secure priority over
those who are poorer than he. 1t may be
hard for those accustomed to the standards
of this world to realize that by all the rules
of Christianity the idea that money can
buy everything must be laid aside when
Divine aid is asked. But Father MOllin-
ger makes it very evident that people who
cannot put that mundane rule out of their
heads will get no benefits from his shrine.
This conflict between worldly rules of
action, and those which must obtain where
there is strict insistence on the rules of
devout faith is decidedly instructive in
more aspects than the one Immediately on
the surface.

Got the Little Brown jug.

am reminded of story that came to me
of bright little girl whose ready acknowl-
edgment of her wish for self-gratification
was very amusing, says Emily S. Bouton in
the Toledo Blades She was a quaint little
creature, and one was never quite sure
where she would break out.
While stopping at a hotel with the family,
she formed the acquaintance of another wee
one OF about her own age. One day. after
being absent for time she returned, and
showed her grandmother, with great glee, a
pretty little brown jug that had been given
her.
Where did you get it?, was asked.
"Mamte's papa gave it to me-" was the
ready reply. 81 don't think he wanted to,
but L just hungded around, and hungded
around until he said might have 1t. Mamie
said shouldn't hungded around so, but I

"Why did you do so, my chfld?" asked the
mortified grandmother.

the earnest answer.

jug" that represents selfgratification, and
do more than her "hungded around" to OBJ
tain them, but we are not so ready to
acknowledge our selfish determination to
have them at all hazards.
