A Cure for Laziness.

A traveller in the course of a morning
walk IN Amsterdam came upon a group
gathered around a well, into which a
strongly built man had Just been let
down. A pipe, whose mouth was at the
top OF the well, had been opened, and a
stream OF water from it was flowing into
the well and gradually filling it. The
man below had quite enough to do, if he
did not want to be drowned, to keep the
water out by means of a pump which
was at the bottom of the well.
The traveller, pitying the man, asked
for an explanation of what seemed to be
cruel, heartless joke.
"Sir," replied an old man standing
near, ''that fellow is, as you see, healthy
and strong. | have myself offered him
work twenty times, but he always al
lows laziness to get the better of him,
and will make any excuse to beg his
bread from door to door, though he
might easily earn it if he chose.
"We are now trying to make him real.
ize that he must work. If he uses the
strength that is in his arms he will bf
saved; if he lets them hang idle he will
be drowned. But look" continued the
old Dutchman as he went to the edge OF
the well, ''the fellow finds out that he
has muscles already; in an hour we shall
let him out with better resolutions fol-
the future"
The traveller watched until the mai
was liberated from his watery prison
and felt sure that at least temporary
cure had been effected.-YOuth's Com.

when Did the "Glass &C" necine

So far as research has been able to de-
termine, glass was in use 1000 years be-
fore the birth of Christ, and was even
then not in its infancy by any manner
of means. In the Slade collection at the
British museum there is the head of a
lion nodded in glass, bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh
dynasty. This is the Oldest specimen of
pure glass bearing anything like a date
now known to exist. The invention now
known as "bleezing," the mode of var
nishing pottery with a thin film of glass,
Is believed to date back to the first Egyp-
tian dynasty. Proof of this is found in
the pottery beads, glass glazed, found in
the tombs Of the age above referred TO-
st. Louis Republic.

.Iow to Care for a TrotteF.
When the horse cpmes in from his
work rub him all over from his ears to
his tail and down to his knees with wash
as near the temperature of his body as
possible. To make this wash take one
part alcohol. two parts pure witch hazel
and three or four times as much soft
water as the combined quantity Of al
cohol and witch hazel. Every muscle
should be rubbed thoroughly. Throw a
medium weight blanket over the horse
now, and let him stand until you have
put the bandages on.
Use the same wash for the legs as for
the body, but have it cold. After put
ting the wash ON the legs, rub them well
with the palm of the hand, always rub
bing down, never up. Put the bandages
on Immediately after the rubbing, Rub
all his heels perfectly dry with clean,
dry rags. Care should be taken in this,
as cracked heels are very stubborn and
often lay horse mp for the season.
Throw tho blanket back from the
head and scrape out all wash that re-
mains, most of it will have entered the
pores of the bodyI cover up his shoul-
ders and scrapo the rest of the body;
take clean, dry rag and rub him all
over lightly, always rubbing with the
htir as much as possible; now put a
light hood on him and an extra blanket
over his loins, and after hooking at his
heels again walk him out for about five
minutes, then bring him in, and should
no have broken out any while walking
scrape him again lightly, after which
give him another light rubbing for saw
four or five minutes, when he should
again be walked for about ten minutes.
and again taken in and rubbed slightly.
after which put en- lighter blankets and
continue to reduce the weight as the
heat leaves the body.-Rider and Driver.

In Ireland the custom used to prevail of burying the dead as soon after their certified decease as possible. It is very probable that many were thus buried alive. It is related that a certain Dr, Walker, of Dublin, entertained such strong views upon this question that he never wearied of discoursing upon it, and even wrote pamphlet embodying his views, which was widely circulated. While conversing one day with his friend Mrs. Bellamy, a celebrated actress, the lady informed him that she herself would take care that he should not be committed to the cold embrace of mother earth until indisputable evil dence was forthcoming of his death, provided his decease preceded hers.
 Some time afterward the doctor con- tracted fever, of which it was SUD- posed he died. In spite of the opposition he had raised to the prevailing custom, he was buried the day following. Mrs. Bellamy was at the time in Ireland, and, hearing of his death and burial, she hastened to Dublin, and at once had his body exhumed. Her considerate offices, however, came too late. On opening the coffin it was found that the doctor had evidently revived since his inter- ment, for he was found lying upon his Eds,--Yankes Blade.

The s'Streator Cyclone" Knocked Out In
 the Fifteenth Round.
 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.-Jack McAuliffe Is still the peerless lightweight champion of the world. In & fierce battle of fifteen rounds last night he defeated Billy Myer, the "Streator Cyclone" who alone had the right to question his title to supremacy. It was the first fight of the great pugilistio carnival arranged, and despite tremendous downpour of rain the amphitheater of the Olympic club was crowded, and thousands, unable to gain admission, stood outside and echoed back the cheers of the multitude within.
 Before g o'clock the arena was uncom- fortably full of men, who had paid SIS for box seats, s10 for lower seats and s7.50 for seats in the gallery, and when ex-Mayor Guillotte made the formal announcement that contest for the lightweight cham pionship of the world was about to take place he received rousing cheer.
 The men weighed in a few minutes be- fore 9 o'clock. The limit was 1SS pounds. Myer scaled at 1ST16 and McAuliffe at 1S7s4.
 When the gong sounded ''time" for the fifteenth round Myer was weak and groggy. He was knocked down with a heavy right. McAuliffe knocked him down again as he got up. This time he lay helpless on the ropes until he was counted out. It was a heavy right hand swing that did the trick, and McAuliffe was borne triumphant ly on his seconds shoulders to his corner.
 The Brooklyn boy was made the recipient of a hearty applause, notwithstanding the fact that New Orleans was known as 8 Myer city. McAuliffe's seconds opened cham pagne in his corner, while Myer was offered glass of the wine by his conqueror, which was accepted, and a hearty han.Shake wound up the greatest battle recorded in the lightweight class since the days of Billy Edwards, Barney Aaron and Sam Colyer.

A few weeks ago local hackman was summoned to a clergyman's house to con vey him to a meeting in another part of the city. On obeying the summons he found another carriage in waiting and an impatient driver walking up and down be- fore the door. The minister came hurriedly down the steps and got into the second hack, and the driver prepared to move off.
 Here, you," called out the promenading hackman, what are you taking the minis ter away forf There's & couple of young folks in there waiting to be married. Why don't he jine lem before he goes off don't want to wait here all night"
 The minister's hackman chirruped to his horses without deigning to notice the other mans remarks. He was gone an hour and returned with the clergyman, and lo! the same hackman was pacing up and down in front of the house. He was in anything but an amiable mood.
 If was running business I'd tend to it," said he as the minister was alighting "Why don't he marry folks without mak' ing lem wait all night?"
 Ask him." said the clergyman's driver and the hackman followed the advice.
