A Letter to Hawthorne. a.

On Park street hangs an epistolary curios ity which is sure to attract the atten tion of all who have occasion to visit the sanctum of this we'll known publishing house. It is letter written by the princi pal of school in a Pennsylvania town tc Nathaniel Hawthorne, and is dated Octo Der, 1887.
 The teacher begins by trying to worm himself in Mir. Hawthorne's good graces by telling him how highly his works are considered by his neighbors, and he winds up by asking a donation of book or two for the school library.
 "It seems very strange" remarked wis itor to the office few days ago, that a school teacher should not have heard of the novelist's death twenty-three years after his decease."
 "That is not the strangest feature of the matter" replied member of the firm, to whom the remark was addressed. "The letter was directed to MT. Hawthorne at Salem, and after remaining unclaimed in the postoffice there for the usual time it was sent to us with the request to for ward. d."-Boston Herald.

He Did Not Quail Before the Awful
 Prospect, but Then He Had Reason.
 He was in towering passion when he strode into the editors room. It was eyi dent that he was looking for trouble.
 My name is Sellers, sirl Sellersl" he ex claimed.
 "Ah, yes; Mir Sellers. Have a chair.'' said the editor courteously.
 No, sir, I'll not have chairp' thundered the stranger. "I've come in to clean out the office" "Yes, yes," said the editor calmly. Will you stand little to one side, pleasef You shut the light off from my desk" The stranger was so surprised that he moved without thinking. That's right" said the editor. Stand right there. You can get better shot al me from there. Would you mind my call ing reporter inp" If you move I'll blow your brains outv' "No intention of calling for help, l assure you," protested the editor. But you know what sensation this affair will make, and I always try to have a reporter on hand when there's any tragedy. 1t makes q better story. With your permission" He touched bell and a young man ap- peared almost instantly. "Mr. Brown" said the editor, this is Mir. Sellers. called him a monkey, an in- spired idiot and thief in this mornings paper, and he has come up to clean out the office, especially this room. Get a good account of it and let it lead the paper double leaded. It ought to make rattine story"
 See here! You've got nervep exclaimed the stranger. Not at all, |" replied the editor. II sim. ply understand my business and aln an en- thusiast in it." The stranger looked about him nervously and then said: "Oh, well, never mind: let the matter go. I didn't mind it much and you're too nervy a man to be done up in cold blood.'
 He backed out of the door and hurried down the stairs. Then the editor gave 8 sigh of relief and turned to the reporter. asked

 And you had your hand on the switchi"
 "Yes, sir"
 "You could have shocked himf"

 ''These electrical appliances are great things" said the editor as he leaned back in his chair, but I was mighty nervous just the same. I'll have that plate made larger and the switch put on my desk."- Chicago Tribune.

American countrx Home..


 Very beautiful houses have been built in America of late, from city homes that are little palaces to mod est country cottages which are none the less sensible for being eminently picturesque. As rule our country houses are the best. Here we are most successful because at once most rational and most individual, least conventional and initiative, least be- set by the desire for mere display or for mere collecting. Here we have most frequently asked for just what we wanted, and wanted things of a sensible kind. Here our native de- sires and tastes most genuinely ex- press themselves, and we find the buildings we should prefer to show a foreigner as both very American and very good. ..-
 Of course here and there in our cities we may pick out building which equals our best country homes in true excellence and surpasses them by far in pure architectural impor- tance. But I am speaking now of classes of buildings, and I am sure we have a better right to be proud of our country homes as class than of our municipal structures, our churches, our business blocks or any thing else that is ours Naturally we may be glad of the fact, in view of their typical, representative char acter. To have begun we'll in the buildings, which most clearly show the desires and aims of the American people as whole, entities us to hope for future success along all other architectural paths.

Kinds of Toothacha,

For ordinary nervous toothache, which is caused by the nervous system being out of order or by excessive fatigue, a very hot bath will so soothe the nerves that sleep will naturally follow and upon getting up the patient will feel very much refreshed and the toothache will be thing of the past, For what is known as jumping toothache," hot dry flannel applied to the face and neck is very effective. For common toothache, which is caused by indigestion or by strong sweet. acid or anything very hot or cold in decayed tooth. little piece of cotton steeped in strong camphor or oil of cloves is the best remedy.-London Tit-B Bits

Where Woman Ha. tho Advantage.


 a Whatever disadvantages a woman lawyer may be under in the practice of her profession. she has certain compen- sating advantages which her brothers at the bar can never enjoy. A little incl dent in the chambers part of the supreme court the other day will illustrate this point. 1t was Monday, which is always the busiest day of the week in this branch of the court There was an un usually long calendar this day. and al- though it was almost l o'clock the court room was still crowded with fifty or sixty lawyers, who had been waiting i'm patiently since II o'clock to argue their motions or to get "ex parte' orders signed. There was an unusually large pile of these orders on the judges desk waiting to be signed. because his honor had been so busy that he had been un. able to attend to them
 Amodest looking, neatly dressed young woman came into the courtroom with some legal papers in her hand. She walked up to the rail, while the clerk quickly came forward, all attention He took the papers which she carried and handed them to the judge inlmedi ately, while the court officers hustled around and brought her chair. The arguments of the legal lights were stopped, his honor took the papers glanced over them quickly and put some hieroglyphics, which stood for his signature, at the bottom of them, the clerk handed the documents back to the young woman. and in less than five minutes after she entered the court room the woman lawyer had accom- plished her object and gone back to her office.
 Just as she was disappearing through the door a lawyers clerk came up to the rail 5..-.-.r.- H.t~
 Has the Judge signed that order which handed up this morning." he asked.
 'No," was the reply, .'he win not sign any orders before or 8 o'clock. "-New York Tribune.

Gladstone It . Picnic.

Gladstone's daily life at home is a model of simplicity and regularity, and the great secret of the vast amount of work he accomplishes lies in the fact that every odd five minutes is occupied. No man ever had a deeper sense of the preciousness of time and the responsi- bility which every one incurs by the use or misuse he makes of it. To such a length does he carry this that at a picnic to favorite Welch mountain he has been seen to fling himself on the heather, and bury himself in some pamphlet upon a question of the day until called to lighter things by those who were re- sponsible for the provision basket.- Young Man.

THE MAN WITH 4 FAILING.

His Efforts to Relieve the Intense Anxi-
 ety Were Not Appreciated.
 1t was 10:30 o'clock at night. and the rain and wind and darkness made it a wild one. when the train suddenly came to a halt Some one had swung 8 Ian tern on the track about quarter of a mile from the bridge spanning Shady creek. Those of us who turned out to learn what was up saw farmer-looking man come back to the smoking car with storm the latter asked: .
 Nov, then, you say there's trouble ahead. What is it7 Talk fast, for am now twelve minutes behind time"
 The man was about forty years old dressed in coarse clothing and was wet to the skin. The lantern was an old fashioned ono, made of tin, and the light was furnished by piece of candle abont three inches long.
 Look a-here, gineral," he replied to the conductor in a nervous way, "go sorter slow on me or 1 can't tell yo' the story"

 "Well. you felt called upon to stop us?'
 Il did. It's been rainin purty steady fur about 8 week."
 "Yes.n
 "Ths branch has jest been a-humpin of herself fur the last two days"
 "Yes, the water has been rising"

 And you stopped us. Good heavens, man! but the bridge is gonel"
 Hold on, ginera1i You are goin too fasti t-t-told you if you g-g-got me ex-ex"-
 "Take it easy.r replied the conductor. Just think what you want to say and then speak very slow. Great landsl but what an escapei"
 ''Gineral, reckoned yo'd worry about the bridge"
 "Yes, I've been very anxious about it. "Y6 knowed the water was risin way up."
 "Yes.r
 Il told the old woman you'd worry about it. and that I'd best git the lantern and stop the t-t-train a-a-and t-t-tell- tell"-
 Take it easy, man, there's no hurry You got your lantern and stopped the train to tell us that the bridge had been aoated of by the freshet. 1 understand and 1 can promise you"-
 "Gineralr' .... ...= "Yes."
 "The bridge is all rightl reckoued yo'd worry over it. and so got tho Ian tern, and stopped the train to tell you that the water had gone down four feet and the bridge hadn't suffered harp
 l don't remember all the conductor said when he got at the facts, nor how many passengers helped throw the man down among the bushes, but when the train moved on he was banging the old tin lantern around and calling:
 "G-G-Gineral, I'll be Unchanged if l don't see this old r-r-road in T-T-Texas before ever do it another fa-fa-favori" New York World.

|" Sure Pop"
It Worked.

At matinee performance in one of the theaters yesterday afternoon little man who sat in the parquet leaned forward and spoke in loud whisper to the lady sitting on the seat directly in front of him:
 "Fan," he said, Il wish you would take of that blooming hat of yours. I can't see a thing that's going on."
 "Sirp haughtily exclaimed the lady, turning around
 "I beg your pardon" rejoined the little man in the same loud whisper, "I thought you were my sister. She has hat exactly like that one you've got on."
 He leaned back in his seat and serenely resumed his attempt to stretch his neck so as to see over that hat.
 And 1t wasn't two minutes till she took 1t of with jerk and laid it in her lap.- Chicago Tribune.

In astronomy the Big Dipper," so called, Is in the constellation of Ursa Major, or the Great Bear. The stars forming the tail of the bear also form the handle of the dipper. The first star in the handle is Benetnasch; the second, Mizar; the third, Aioth. The other four, which go to form the bowl of the dipper, are Megres, Phad, Merak and Dudhe. The two last named are called ''The Pointers" because they point or guide the eye to the pole star, which is distant g degs. The top bowl stars are 10 degs. and the bottom ones 8 degs

Noted Fat People.

There have been prominent people who have been almost as feshy as mu- scum freaks. William Wirt, the ora tor, who prosecuted Aaron Burr, was so fat that he wore corsets. The late David Davis, of the United States su- preme bench, was remarkable for his enormous size Gibbon, the his torian was a show. Daniel Lambert, who is often quoted as the fattest man that ever lived, died weighing 739 pounds.
