She Was Jealous.

A thin. wiry-looking little woman
with black eyes and a coldly severe
look about the lips was walking up
one of Detroit's principal streets by
the side of a round-faced, beardless
and perfectly innocent and harmless
looking short and very fat old man,
clad in Hopping linen duster and a
suit of blue Jeans, says the Detroit
Free Press. They stopped at fruit
stand and the old man bought two
bananas of the rosy-cheeked Italian
girl in attendance. Then the couple
moved on, and when they had gone
about ten feet the woman Kissed out
bitterly:
'.At your old tricks, Medad Hig-
ginsr'
What do you mean, MarierP" he
asked. wonderingly.
law. yes. what do l mean?n she
sneered. in tones so cold that all the
thermometers in that block dropped
three degrees. Some folks can be
mighty innocent even when they are
caught. AS though 1 didn't see you
flirting with that sassy fruit-stand
girl"
''Gosh-a-mighty. Marierr'
''Aw, / would tremble if / were you.
You can look mighty innocent can't
you. Medad Higgins? Amt you
ash-a-a-a-med of yourself? 1t jist
seems as if you cayn't go nigh a girl
without flirting with her. I'd be
ash-a-a-a-med if I was you.'
'Great Scott! Marier, what'd / say
or do?" he said. helplessly.
''rd have the face to ask, Medad!
What bizness had you saying anything
to herP I heard you say: Pleasant
day. amt it?' and 'How's bizness to-
day?' and 'Good-by' in that fighty.
fiirty way of yours. Sh-a-a-ame on
ye! There's no tellin' how much fur
ther you'd have went if hadn't been
along. La, Medad Higgins. if done
my duty I'd bring this up at our next
church meetin' and have you church
mauled for such bizness. But I'll
spare you this time on account of your
children and grandchildren, but an
other time I'll not spare you, and the
church and the world shall know how
weeked you air!''
And they walked on. Medad looking
as though he had been miraculously
saved from an awful and impending
| shame.

The Festonned Column.
Here in this alley there lies the fragment

Here in this alley there lies the fragment of
some ancient column.
Half imbedded in soil, tipped to one side in
its fall;
See the shape of the flower there sculptured
in happest outline
Just in the ElGOm of its growth, with all the
leaves the stalk,
Even in marble it has fresh look, as if blow
ing in Sprngtde
Though rude handfuls of Time long have
been flung on its form,
Gently it clings to the stone and lovingly
winds round the pillar,
Yet it turns to my glance with soft smile
in its eye.
So art thou, divine Elpinike, the flower of Del
phi
Ancient thou art, should say, just in the
bud of thy youth;
For if the Delphian priestess now were alive
in her beauty,
She thy form would assume, robed in the
waves of white folds,
But though so young, thou art hid, methinks
Beautiful flower to-day sprung from fancy
of old.
Note but this leaf how graceful it lies in the
curve of the marble
Then another succeeds-half of it only you
see;
Then still further below is beheld the mere
tip of leaf1et,
All the others are hid in the dark tomb of the
ground.
But the day will come when the leaves shall
leap from their cover,
And the day will come when Elpinike shall
bloom,
Now am going to dig from the rubbish this
column of flowers,
Piece together its parts, cleanse from the
dirt every line
Set up the column in light that again it may
sun itself proudly;
Then what u fragrance will rise out of that
howery shaft!

sun-Browned westerners.

The people of the west are darker
than those of the east. 1t is easy to
see that. They live more in the open
air. They are Drowned by the sun
and roughened by the winds of the
prairies. This is as true of the women
as of the men. West of the Missis-
sippi you see very few fat men. Even
middle-weight men are rare. The
rule is, tall, dark. dark-haired. brown
or black beard. thin. What is it that
makes so many men of the prairie
west shoot up more than six feet in the
air and yet Keep their weight down to
100 or 165 pounds l could not discern.
But any one who travels much in that
region must have noticed the rem ark
able stature of the men as a whole.
Of course the average of humanity in
the west is more uncouth than in the
east. In the hotels and the dining
cars YOU see more men, and women,
too, eating with their knives or with
napkins tucked under their chins.~
West of Chicago you will hear three
times as many persons sucking soup
out of their spoons as east of that
point. But in kindliness. true, sincere
politeness, absence of affectation and
priggishness, the westerners beat US
every time. If you go out from the
east and think to take them up for
hayseeds or pumpkins you will make a
sad mistake. AUGUSTA Chronicle.

A Boy Adopted by a Cow.

A letter from Kansas has surpris-
ing story, my friends. 1t tells me of
cow who, when she had lost her calf,
showed so much sorrow that it awak-
ened the sympathy of her owners
fourteen-year-old son, and he showed
her some slight kindness. The CRATE
full cow at once became fond of him.
watched for him as she would for her
calf, and since then she has shown her
pleasure whenever he comes near her.
Indeed no one but this boy can man.
age the poor animal. and wonderful
stories are told of her devotion to him.
The Kansas papers say that lately the
boy had occasion to go to neighbor-
ing town, and as he remained away
until after milking time. his sister, not
daring to approach the COW in any
other way decided to personate her
brother. So she put on a suit of his
clothes and went into the barnyard.
The girl succeeded in deceiving the
cow until the boy was seen coming up
the road. when instantly the indignant
animal kicked the pail over and made
bound in the direction of the youth,
showing unmistakable evidences of
delight. Nicholas.

A GRATEFUL ALLIGATOR.
Once Befriended, She Makes Annual
Visits to Her Benefactor.

There is an old man who lives not a
dozen miles from Jacksonville, on the
st. Johns River, who has what might
be called an alligator farm. He owns
a tract of about twelve or thirteen
acres. and in one part is low, marshy
place, which, in wet weather, is filled
with water. A ditch connects this with
the river.
One spring day the owner of the
farm while walking near the swamp
heard a crashing sound in the marsh
grass, and looking over to the centre
saw large alligator moving around
He stood still and watched the saurian,
and discovered that it was throwing
up a mound of mud and grass. After
a time, when the heap had assumed 6
shape not unlike that of hut such as
the Esquimaux are pictured as living
in. the alligator lay on top. The farmer
came to the conclusion that she was
laying her eggs, and. not wishing to
disturb her, left.
The next day he visited the place
again, and saw that the mound had
been firmly bedded all around, while
the old gator lay summing herself on ;
log. Each day he visited the place
| and carried food to the old one in the
shape of fish and meat. and as the timt
went on she got so tame that on ;
certain hour she was on the lookou
and came crawling up to be fed.

Photographiug a Dogs Jump.

The Photographic analysis of rapid
movements has made great progress.
In a recent series of instantaneous
photographs Anschutz OF Lissa has
secured twenty-four successive impress
sions of dog in the act of making a
single jump over low bush. and each
impression is not mere silhouette, as
was the case with Muy bridges first at
tempts of this kind. but a little picture
showing half-tone and detail. Some
of the attitudes, never caught by the
eye, seem quite amusing. This is true
at the commencement of the Jump,
when the dogs hind toes only touch
the ground, and at the end of the jump,
when his legs are gathered together in

off, seeming to enjoy the fun immense
ly. At the sight of her friend bright
light beamed in her eyes. and. after
receiving a few caresses. she started
off towards the river, followed by her
young.
Every spring after that the owner of
the place has watched for the old
gator. which has never failed to show
up and each year build. new mound
and raise her young.-FloridG Times

Age of Trees.

Some German scientists, interested
in the forestry, have recently furnish
ed information in regard to the ages
of trees. They assign to the pine tree
500 and 700 years as the maximum.
425 years to the silver fir, 275 years to
the larch, 245 years to the red beech.
210 to the aspen, 200 to the birch. 10
to the ash, 145 to the alder, and 130 to
the elm. The heart of the oak begins
to rot about the age of 800 years. The
holly oak alone escapes this law, it is
said. and there is in existence near
AschalIenburg, in Germany. a tree of
this Kind which has attained an age Of
410 years.

II locks like foregone conclusion
that sufficient life cannot be injected
into the Five Commissioner bill to
briag II out Of the committee to which
1t las leen referred and into the Sem
ate again in its present shape. In fact
the bill has only one positive friend In
the Senate, and that is Speaker Dona-
hoe who. however fair he might be in
other matters OF legislation, in any
thing tho least political he immediately
becomes narrow minded, bigoted par
tisan and is always ready to vote for
any extreme measure, no matter how
unfair and unjust that will knock
"tother side out"
Now then that 1t has become evident
that no extreme partisan measure can
get through the Senate, why not come
right down to hard pan and pass a sem
sible non-partisan Three Commission
bill, almost such an one as was drawn
by Nathaniel Williams and was pre-
sentcd in the Senate over six weeks
ago? Tho Five Commissioner bill was
entirely too heavily loaded with par
tisan freight to be popular with the
people and wlthal too expensive.
Great complaint has been mado that
Levy Courts Of late years have been
costing tho county about $4,000 annual
ly, it is doubtful il the Five Commits
sioner machinery would have cost
less. Five Commissioners would alone
have cost $1,000, Comptroller would
have cost 5000 more, County Auditors
$500 more, and other incidentals would
have run the expense SO close up to
ss0O0 that the saving by commission
ers would have been insignificant in
deed. The bill however, seemed tt
be wonderfully well calculated to fur
nlsh Offices for party hacks.
sewing the election of the Fivt
Commissioners proposed to the PEG
pie OF New Castle County on the 19tl
day OF May, the day of the Constltu
tional Convention election, is bette
than not leaving it to a vote OF ths
people at all, but still il does not NEE
X the case. The sensible plan is to have
three county commissioners to b,
voted for at the next State election
no voter voting for more than two
thereby insuring minority representa-
ton. These three commissioner
need not be paid more than $500 eacl
or s24oo for all.
A board of three County Auditors
elected like the commissioners neet
not cost tho county more than $500 al
told. There is no need OF a comptrol
Ter at all. The Clerk OF the Peace Gu

now is to the Levy Court. Embed
