The butcher was surprised, and the
next time Lion came in with a slip of
paper between his teeth he took the
trouble to look at it. The paper was
blank, and further investigation
showed that whenever the dog felt a
craving for sausages he looked around
for a piece of paper and trotted off to
the butchers. The farmer is some
thing out of pocket, but squares the
account by boasting of the dogs intel
hgence.

A Mothers Heart.

An Italian woman sits every day at her
fruit stand on the corner of certain street
in New York. "Maum Spaghetti" is the
name given her by the poor street boys
She was always good TO them, but they
did not know what TO call her. So one OF
them, who had been in an Italian reStau
rant, suggested Mother Spaghetti, which
was accepted and quickly corrupted.
One day she saw shivering little news
boy, timorously offering his papers. She
called him to her and discovered that he
was i'll. Then she wrapped him up warm.
ly and slowed him under the stand.
In the evening she took the boy in her
arms and carried him to her home When
she had made him comfortable she asked
where his mother was.
Amt got none Mothers Is skeerce.

1t was pathetic truth the boy uttered
guilelessly. There are so many waits
whose only living mother is the big city.

PETROLEUM MOTOR TRICYCLE. IN OPERATION
latest work of al English inventor in thi'
direction, Mr.. Edward Butler, of Green
witch, England
In this machine one gallon OF petroleu n
or benZolene is designed to furnish suff
cient power to accomplish a run of forty
miles, at speed of from three to tel
miles per hour. At each side Is a motol
cylinder, whose pistons operate in tbs
four-stroke cycle, that is, one stroke
draws in the air aud oil vapor, another
stroke congresses tie charge, which is
exploded at the third stroke and exhaust
ed on the fourth. The pistons operate G
crank shaft carried by the rear or driving
wheel bearings, the hub of this wheel al
one side inclosing a specially devised cpl.
cyclic gear by which the motion of the
shaft is communicated to the driving
wheel axle in the ratio of six to one. The
shaft also carries a fly wheel, mounted to
be as close as possible to the spokes of the
driving wheel. The motor cylinders are
each controlled by a balanced rotating
valve, and 10th cylinders are supplied
with explosive mixture by drawing air
through an inspirstor situated over an oil
reservoir containing a supply of benzo-
lene or a similar petroleum product. A
valve regulates the oil feed, and the mix
ture of air and oil feed formed in the
atomizer is voatilized before distributed
to the cylinders. The compressed charges
are alternately ignited by an induced cur
rent of electricity passing across termin-
ais fixed in the cylinder covers,
the current being generated by a
small sing e-fuid battery under the
seat. Stopping and starting is effected by
raising and lowering the driving wheel
from the ground by foot lever, the weight
of this portion of the machine being then
thrown upon small caster wheels. The
speed of the motor is regulated by G
throttle valve lever, and over-heating ID
prevented by water circulating through 8
radiating tank over the driving wheel.
The tank Is Of 81 gallons capacity, but
with a very large proportionate surface.
Steering is effected by pair of rocking
handles actuating the front wheels, whict
move on separate pivots, and tie brake il
applied to both Of these wheels by a foo,
lever.
The diameter of the wheels is 80 inches
and the whole of the framing and the en-
CINE rods are made of oval steel tubing
The weight of the machine is ESQ pounds
The arrangement of the parts is such tha'
the motor is very compact, and it is sait
to be readily and easily started, the cleo
trio ignition not introducing any difficulty

and old no one would recog-

with this thought, an idea occurred to
me, plan of vengeance, so bold, so new,
and withal so terrible that l started
from my seat as though stung by an ad-
der, l paced up and down restlessly,
with this lurid light of fearful revenge

stupefed senses became aroused from
their lethargy of despair, and stood up
like soldiers, on the alert, armed to the
teeth. Past love, pity, pardon, pa
tience--pooh! what were all these
resources of the worlds weaklings
to me? What was it to me that
the bleeding Christ fOrgaye His enemies
in death?-He never loved woman!
Strength and resolution returned TO me.
Let common sailors and rag-pickerS re-
sort to murder and suicide as fit outlets
for their unreasoning brute wrath when

blot my family scutcheon with merely
vulgar crime? Nay the vengeance of a

haste, no plebeian fury, no effeminate
fuss, no excitement walked up and

of the bitter drama in which l had re-
solved TO enact the chief part, and from
the rise to the fall of the black curtain.

In similar way the official time on
the other side is taken the moment the
vessel is abeam Of Sandy Hook. The
line is set by the compass, and the tele-.
scope does the rest. The moment OF
crossing is almost as clearly defined as
in the case of the running horse on the
track. Passengers on the transatlantic
steamers date the time of their passage
either from Lands End or from the
time the vessel starts until she comes to
anchor. The steamship companies do
not take this into account at all IN their
official records. They know the time,
of course, that vessel leaves Liverpool
and of her arrival in Queenstown. But
this is not considered in the record OF
her passage. The subsidized mail boats

TWO MEN.

Two men toiled side by side from sun to sun,
And both were poor
Both sat with children, when the day was done,
About their door.
One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining moon;
he OtheB with his head i'll sadness bowed,
Made night of noon.
One loved each tree and flower and singing
bird
On mount or plain;
NO music In the soul OF one who stirred
By leaf or rain.
One saw the good i'll every fellow man,
And hoped the best:
The other marveled at his Masters plan,
And doubt confessed.
One, having Heaven above and Heaven below,
Was satisfied:
The other, discontinued. lived in VICE.
And hopeless died.

Living on the Cars.

No man in the country, says the New
York Times, has made greater study
of the art of living than John F. Cham
berlain. He rode to Utica on the Chicago
limited the other day, and subsequently
said to a friend:
1.-THE fault with all of these railways
that maintain dining cars is that they
try to do too much. Americans are the
most considerable people in the world,
and, while they invariably demand a
full equivalent for their money, they
are satisfied with less, if it is of the
best quality, than a superabundance of
poor quality. Now, these dining cars
endeavor to lay too many dishes before
their patrons. People eat less when
they travel than when they are at home
or attending to business. What the
traveller desires for dinner is q good
soup, not canned but fresh, salad, and
light dessert. Of course, all persons
would not be suited, nor are all suited
now, but am convinced the majority
of travellers would be better satisfied"

Delight Followed by Torment.

What man or woman will deny that good
dinner is present delight. Equally unde-
niable is it that when a well cooked meal is
succeeded by fit of indigestion, rapture is
converted into torture. Don't charge your
dyspepsia to your dinner. No, my dear sir,
your gastric department was out of order to be-
gin with. Had you regulated it with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the cargo that you TOOK
on board would have been comfortably slowed
away without the slightest Inconvenience
This incompara bic stomachic entirely reforms
faulty digestion, and regulates, besides, the
liver and the bowels, which must act harmo-
niously with the digestive organ. all three
fall out of gear. Take the Bitters for kidney
and rheumatic complaints, and in all cases Of
malaria. AS tonic, appetizer and promoter OF
