Unexpected Thanks.

A correspondent sends true story"
Of street car politeness. and we publish
1t with much pleasure.
An electric" was passing down sub
urban thoroughfare, when it was hailed
by an old woman, evidently from the
country. The car stopped and after
much bustling and putting the woman
got in, at the same time asking the con-
ductor to please take her to a certain
street.
BY circuitous route the car soon
reached the street she had asked for,
and the conductor gruff1y announced the
fact. Overcome with joy to find herself
at her destination, she squeezed out,
saying to the conductor as she passed
him, her face beaming with gratitude:
4 thankee very much, sir. I'm very
much obleeged toye. l hope We didn't
have to go fur out of yer way to get me
here. "-Youth's Companion.

Washing the White Lions.

Much has been written about the custom
of making fools on the lst of April, but
with the result only that it is very ancient
and very general. Sometimes the oppor-
tunity afforded by the day is taken adj
vantage of by jocular people to carry out
some extensive hoax on society. One of
the best modern April hoaxes took place
in $780, In March of that year a vast num-
Der of persons received through the post a
card bearing the following inscription,
with a seal marked by an inverted sixpence
at one of the angles, thus having to super
fetal observation an official character:
Tower of London. Admit the bearer and
friend to view the annual ceremony of
washing the white lions, on Sunday, April
l, 1860 Admitted only at the white gate.
1t is particularly requested that no gratui-
ties be given to the wardens or their assist
ants" The trick was successful. Cabs
were rafting about Tower Hill all that
Sunday trying to discover the white gate.

The Paul Prys of Literature.

The detective in plagiarism would be
frustier functionary than he is if he were
less like the detective in other branches of
foguery. He is rarely a luminous exemplar
Of virtue himself. and he seems to be urged
In his public service less by hatred of dis
honesty and love of justice than by the
hope of proving his own cunning. Not
dread lest offenders go undetected, but
dread lest his own skill in detecting them
go unknown, is his urgency. Thus there
is a constant overstraining of clews and
evidence. With great flourish and noise
people are dragged to the bar who either
are not offenders at all or else are offenders
too petty for notice.
Besides the business long and exclu-
sively pursued is debasing. 1t induces a
state of morbid suspicion under which the
honest author will as hardly escape ques-
ton as an honest woman under the eye of
a certain class of street loungers. To the
plagiarist hunter it is inconceivable that
any literary resemblance should not be
also literary borrowing, and that any lit
erary borrowing should not be literary
theft.-Scribner's.

A Good Snake Story.

When the Georgia editor does tell a
snake story it is generally a good one.
A Georgia exchange is responsible for
the following: Some years ago Judge
Simmons was presented with a pet
snake. One day it swallowed an eight
day clock, which could be heard to tick
ard strike until it ran down. Shortly
after the snake laid 100 eggs. On open
ing them he found each to contain an
open faced watch in good running order.
He then fed it on large augers and OBJ
tanned enough corkscrews to supply a
convention which soon meets at At
lanta. New Orleans Picayune.

These words are very familiar to our
readers, as not day passes without the
report of the sudden death of some prom

you have any of the following symotoms:
Short breath, pain in side, smothering
spells, swollen ankles, ssthmstic breath
ing, weak and hungry spells. tenderness
in shoulder or arm. futtering of the
heart or irregular pulse. These sym
toms mean heart disease. The most re-

With whose names the world resounded.
Ruined glories. flown delights!
Sunk mid rumors of old wars!
Where they reveled, deep they sleep
By the wild Atlantic shores.
On Tintagei's fortressed walls,
Proudly built, the loud sea scorning,
Pale the moving moonlight falls;
Through their rents the wind goes mourn

Chafed and spoiled and fallen asunder2

Waters rolled and wrathful foam,
Where the waves, beneath your graves,
Snow themselves abroad in thunder.

Looming up through the fog they coulc
see the dark hull of large steamer
backing away from the yacht. The
steamer was the H. F. Dimock, whose
stem had penetrated the side of the Alva
