She Gould Speak Italian.

Toward 6 o'clock the other afternoon, just when the residents of that neighbor- hood were homeward bound, a half grown Italian boy, chattering and crying by turns, was making his way slowly through Eff tieth street, not far from Sixth avenue He stopped often, looked up and down in a bewildered way, and talked and gesticu- lated, ending each tirade with burst of tears. Persons stopped and listened sym pathetically, divining that he was lost, but nobody seemed able to suggest way out of his dilemma.
 Presently young woman, one of the natty sort, who take to shirt fronts and short cutaway jackets, approached. Like the others, she noticed the lad, and, like them, she stopped. He at once began his harangue, looking hopelessly at her. She replied in his own tongue and the lads face grew radiant. Rapidly he went on talking. she listening calmly and without effort. When he had done she took out a tablet, and, tearing off a leaf. wrote some thing at the boys dictation.
 Then she turned to boy standing near who was intensely interested. This little fellow" she said, "wants to go to Harlem to this address. He got put off Fifty eighth street train at Fiftieth street and came to the street instead of going on. Won't you take him back and see him aboard Harlem traini"
 And thrusting a coin into the guides hand and the address in readable Ameri- can into that of the Italian she hurried away, followed by musical phrases from the rescued boy, which were presumably not maleiictions.-New York Times

 It is related that an old-time Weston tippler, named Dwyer, having visited the ''grocery," where he had his jug filled with his favorite beverage, and had also imbibed quite frequently at the counter, started for home, across lots, making a devious path in the light snow with which the ground was covered, and bracing him. self, occasionally, from the contents oi the jug. It appeared that he did not cork the jug tightly, for, attempting to clam. ground, and the jug rolled several feet away. The cork came out, and the con- tents of the jug were running upon the ground with ''gug, gug, gug" that at. tracted his attention, but he was too fa1 gone to be able to get to the jug. After 8 final effort, he gave it up and said ''Ye-yes; l know you are good, but can't save you.' .s,S>

It was MT. Emerson who said "the first wealth is health" and 1t was wiser than the modern philosopher who said that the blood is the life.'' The system, like the clock, runs down. It needs winding up. The blood gets poor, and scores of diseas- es results. It needs a tonic to enrich it.
 A certain wise doctor, after years of patient study, discovered medicine which purifiedathe blood, gave tone to the sys- tenn, and made men-tired, nervous, brain wasting men-feel like new. He called 1t his "Golden Medical Discovery" It has been sold for years, sold by the million of bottles, and people found such satisfaction in it that Dr. Pierce, who discovered it., now feels warranted in selling it under a positive guarantee of it's doing good in all cases.
 Perhaps it's the medicine for you. Yours wouldn't be the first case of scroll ula, or salt rheum, skin disease or lung disease 1t has cured when nothing else would. The trials worth making and costs nothing. Money refunded if 1t don't do you good.

PAN IN THE ORCHARD.
He carved a flute of elder green.

He carved flute of elder green, And notched 1t well and true, Then pursed his liis and puffed his cheekss And merrily he blew. For 1t was springtime holiday.
 A sun tanned boy was he, With russet freckles on his face
 And a patch upon his knee. The apple boughs above him flung Their tangled sprays on high, With one dark. bristly blue jay nest Rough sketched against the sky. He knew the secrets of the grass,
 The burden of the hour: He saw the fierce, bluf bumblebee Towse many clover flower. Orphaned and poor as poor could be, The years before him Lay. Dark pillows of an unknown sea,
 No lighthouse on the way. And yet, and yet his elder flute
 Could bring him comfort true: He pursed his lips and puffed his cheeks And blew. and blew. and blew!

 In spite of hls injured leg the skipper would doubtless have plunged overheard and perished in his crippled efforts to save his fair partner had not the New Zealander gently restrained him, and then dived headlong from tue bow. Keeping his eyes open as he swam under water he soon beheld the form of the captains wife within 2 few yards of the shark, which, with ready jaws, was edging its way toward her. He grasped her with one arm, and to make his way to the surface with her was for this powerful native but the work of a few moments. Just as he and his burden had been drawn into the boat the baffied pursuer came up alongside, viciously thrashing the water with its hukes ere it dived out of sight.
 Mrs. Wilkins, at first half Benseless, recovered ere the boat reached the ship, 1 and hearing the voices of the sailors, who now were cheering the man whom they had been going to throw overheard on the night before as Jonah, she soon 1 learned from her grateful husband how the noble fellow had rescued her-risk- ! ing his own life for her sake.
 "Had we sent him ashore, as you pro posed, you would have been lost" added the young captain.
 "You arc right" she replied. 'sOh, what mistake made! Had he gone with me in the dingey the accident would not have happened, for he would have known how to manage the vessel. But when the sPual1 struck us, just after we left the reef, the cabin boy became 80 frightened that his oar caught in tn water and over went the boat. He man. aged to swim back to the reef, while clung to the keel"
 AS soon as Mrs. Wilkins had been put aboard the boat was sent for the dingey and for the cabin boy. When tho latter arrived the captain, although much in- censed against him, granted the request of his wife that he would neither scoh nor punish the lad; for she urged as one excuse for him that he was only twelve years old. as :, | It is hardly necessary to add that the brave and skillful conduct of Warlock, the New Zealander, won for him the lasting admiration and respect of the foremast hands, and forever divested their minds of the foolish notion that he was "Jonah.

If circulation is speedily restored after he has left the water; if his skin is we'll reddened. and he Is soon we'll warmed up and as strong and "lively" as when he took his first plunge, then he may properly assume that his bath has done him good.
