Wit Of the Small People.

l was descanting on the angelic dis
positions and ways of some dear little
children in fond mothers presence,
the other evening. "They are very
trying" she said, " but then they are
funny. We had company the other af-
ternoon and the children were brought
in. asked Ethel if she still remem-
bered her text. 'Oh, yes, mamma,
Is l my brothers. saloon-keeper?'
l was very angry with little Robbie
the other evening, and had prepared to
give him good spanking. He looked
up at me so funny, and says, Mamma,

Knew from Experience.

Lucy, three years old, was playing
one day with little neighbor about her
own age, says the Ne1 York Tribune.
All went smoothly until some childish
dispute arose, and Lucy, regarding her
little friend as the aggressor, slapped
her soundly once or twice. Her grand
mother reproved her for her rudeness
and display Of temper, but the child
clinched all argument on her side by
saying: "Why, dan'mudder, dan'mud-
der, don't you know it does little dirls
doods to whip 'em7"

Not for Many a Year.

"Papa," exclaimed a three year old,
passing Trinity church-yard and point
ing to the headstones, "see all those
pretty little houses; who lives in em?'
" l don't know, my dear; keep quiet"
Say, papa, will you buy me one of
them some day?" "No, no." quickly
replied the father, startled by the
strange request. Then, suddenly stoop-
ing down, he picked up the prattling
infant and held it close in his arms as
he brushed away two tears that were
silently stealing down his cheeks

The Village Blacksmith.

Under spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man Is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles OF his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands
His hair is crisp and black and long;
1 His face is like the tan; sx14 IL.
His brow is wet with honest sweat.
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
And children, coming home from school,
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from threshing. floor.
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach;
He hears his daughters voice,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.
1t sounds to him like her mothers voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think Of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard, rough hand he wipes
A tear out of his eyes.
Toiling, rejoicing, Borrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned nights repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge Of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought

How to Catch Lightning.

M. Oovaroff, a Moscow scientist, has
discovered that when lightning strikes
in forest the white poplar (populus
alba) is the first to attract it. He came
to the conclusion that the tree can be
used as a natural lightning-rod, and he
submitted memorial to the minister OF
the interior advocating that the plant
ing of white poplar before every house
in village be made obligatory upon
the peasants to prevent fire by light

General AIger left yesterday for the
Pacific Coast to start his boom. He
expects to secure some support on
this coast, where Harrison is unpopu-

help him much IN the convention.
He is millionaire, however, and it
is believed by those who arc encour-

will open a Uar' and make money
plenty at State conventions for the

1t is not probable, however, that

wAsAEE AND SAIL Hol

Cinnamon Sail to BE Able TO Land Here
Sometimes by u Clever Trick.
1t is said that there are n number of
Cinnamon in New York who came from
Hong Kong as sailors and who man
aged to slip from the vessels and steer
for Mott street, where they have
started laundries in the hopes of max
ing fortunes here and devoti2g the re-
1naindcr of their days to spending them
IL China. The Chinese sailors, says the
New York Journal, are very closely
watched when a vessel enters an
American port. The. captain OF each
ship has to sign u heavy bond when he
enters port making himself responsible
fer the saf> keeping of the Chinanan.
The Cinnamon are threatened with fines
also il they attempt going over the side
of the ship, and rs there is nothing u
Chinaman likes more than money
nothing frightcns him like fine.
Withall these precautions, however. it
is said that coolies can land here under
the very noses of the captains. Chinese
in u crowd arc so much alike that it is
difficult TO pick ont particular men, ex-
ccpt by their clothing. a wild weird
story is now in circulation that Mott
street men, formerly sailors who
wanted to go home, have visited the
ships, managed to exchange clothes
with solne of the sailors who wanted to
stay here, and while the one was en-
nbled to pay his visit free, the other
could come to Chinatown, make for
tune and work thc same trick when he
wanted to go back.
The captains say that they know
Cinnamon too we'll to be fooled in that
way, but there GrC coolies m Chinatown
who chuc!tle and say that is the way
they came here.

How Bottled Lump OF Sugar Affected
Similar.
An oftlcer in India gave his tame
monkey a lump Of sugar inside a corked
bottle Of such stout glass that II, could
not well he brokens TIE monkey was
Of an iuquiring mind, and it nearly
killed It. Sometimes, In an impulse of
disgust, it would throw the bottle away
out OF its own reach, and then be dis
tracted till it was given back to Il. Az
others II would sit with countenance
of most intense detection contemplate
the bottled sugar, aud then, as il pull
ing itself together for another effort at
solution, would take up tie bottle
afrcsh and gaze into it. - staf 4
1t would tilt it up one way and try to
get the, sugar out of the neck, and then,
suddenly reversing it, try to catch the
sweet rnorsel as it fell out, under the
impression that it would capture it by
surprise. It. kept ropping its teeth
against the glass In futile bites, and,
warming to the pursuit of the revolving
lump, used to tie itself into regular
knots round the bottle. Fits of the most
ludicrous melancholy would alternate
with these spasms OF furious cnleula-
ton, and how the matter would have
ended it is impossible to say.
But the monkey one night got away,
and took the bottle with it, and it has
always been a delight to its former
owner to think that: whole forests. full
of monkeys have by this time puzzled
themselves into. fits over the great
problem of bottled sugar. What pro
found theories these long-tailed philoso-
pliers must have evolved! What polem-
zeal acrimony that bottle must have
provoked! And what q Ccafucius the
original monkey must have becomc! A
single morning with such Sanhedrin
discussing such a matter would surely
have satisfied even Swift with satire.
