A Nine-vear-o,d Hero,

In ward of one Of the city hospitals
lies little boy who is slowly recovering
from a surgical operation. He is only
nine years old. A wagon wheel rolled
over him about three weeks ago. anc
then the surgeons anputated one little
leg. But the owner is brave chap an6
patient, and his bravery has won fol
him passport into the heart of every
attendant who has seen him. He has
been very greatly interested in the in
valid's shoe the good nurse has beer
knitting for him out of bright worsted
She finished the shoe last week, and hs
asked to keep it by his pillow where he
could see it. He gazed at the bright bit
of footgear with infinite satisfaction
and then asked:
when are you going to make the
other one?'
'sThe other one, dear? What Other
one?'
He glanced down at the one foot with
out mate.
"Yes-I-know I-don't-need-bu
--just-only-one, do I?"'
Then there came half smothered sob
the brave little face turned toward the
wall and not even the nurse saw the
big round tear that rolled down to the
pillow. The sorrow of man had come
to the nine-year-old boy.-New York
Recorder.

Reasoning Power of Ants.

One morning gentleman of many
scientific attainments sat quietly and
alone at his breakfast. Presently he
noticed that some large black ants were
making free with the contents of the
sugar bowl. He drove them away, but
they soon returned, seemingly unwilling
to leave their sweetened feast. Again
they were dispersed, only to return in
Increased numbers. There was a lamp
hook directly above the center of the
table, and, to try their ingenuity, the
gentleman suspended the sugar bowl to
the hook with cord, allowing it to
swing clear of the table about an inch.
First the sagacious little creatures
tried to reach it by standing on each
others backs. After repeated efforts,
all of which were failures, they went
away and 1t was supposed that they had
given up in despair. Within surpris-
ingly short time, however, they were
seen descending the cord by dozens and
dropping themselves into the sugar
bowl. They had scaled the wall,
traversed the ceiling and discovered an
other road to the treasure.-St. Louis

willing to Sell chean.

An amusing incident happened in a
sou0Rern city court the other day. A
Jew was on the witness stand testifying
against a negro who had stolen pair of
pantaloons from his store.
"How much are the pants worthY'
asked Judge Thompson.
"Well, judge" responded the witness,
"it depends on the man who wants to
buy them. I sell them to one man for six
dollars, to another for five dollars, but
you can have them for four dollars"
Sir" responded his honor, in a dis
gusted tone Of voice, 81 want you to tell
me what those pants are worth"
"Ah, judge" said the Israelite, "take
'em for three dollars If four dollars don't
suit you"
"Look here" thundered the Judge,
eff you don't tell me the exact value of
those pants will send you to Jail for
contempt of court"
.Well, then, judge" pleaded the OBJ
tuse witness in a most insinuating tone
of voice, stake 'em for two dollars 1t
is giving them away almost, but you
can have 'em for two dollars"
By this time the people in the court
room were convulsed with laughter,
and the Judge himself was obliged to
forget his disgust and join heartily in
the laugh He did not buy the pants, y
however.-Green Bag.

counterfeislFives Aaoat.

Business men in East Baltimore are
agitated over counterfeit five dollar
notes. Nearly every day one or more
of these notes turn upat the bank count
ers. The notes are limitations of treas
ury notes Of the series of 1880. The pa
per is of poor quality and lighter in
color than the genuine note. Especially
noticeable is the poor engraving. 1t
seems to be the work of an amateur or
of avery nervous person. The picture
of Jackson looks like the impression of
a wood cut. But one feature is any
where near perfection, and that is the
signatures of Registrar Rosecrans and
Treasurer Huston. These are excel
lently counterfeited and would battle
any one but an expert. Bank officials
think number of these counterfeits
have been put into circulation within
the past week or two in that section of
the city, and but few have yet gotten
out of that vicinity Baltimore Amer

IN AN OLD CEMETERY.

She sits upon the worn old grave,
And gayly uses as pillow
The battered headstone, rudely carved
With funeral urn and weeping willow.
The epitaph she puzzles out,
With words and laughter light and mock
ing,
Displaying well dainty shoe,
And quite an inch ofsilken stocking.
She jests about the curious name,
The verses with quaint old phrases laden;
And yet-what IL in future years
Some saucy Twentieth century maiden
Upon o summer afternoon
An ancient cemetery choosing
Should fiirt upon her grave, and think
1t all SO jolly and amusing2

Cesualtie. for sixi1Ion,I,,.


Since Jan. there have been four de-
structive windstorms, killing nearly 200
persons. viz, April /, Missouri and Kan
sas, rs; May 16, Texas, 15s May 81, We'll
lington, Kan, So; June 16, southern
Minnesota, 90. In the same period there
have been four great floods, viz, April
IL, Tombigbee river, $50, May 1s, Sioux
City, Ia, 80; May 20, lower Mississippi.
SO; June 8, fire and food, Oil Creek. Pa,
1876. There also have been four mining
disasters, viz, Jan. Z, McAllister, l. T.,
65; April 90, Minersville, Pa, 12; May
10, Roslyn, WASH, A; May IA, Butte,
Mon, II. Three fires have been un-
usually disastrous to life, VIZ, Jan. 81,
Indianapolis Surgical institute, 10; Feb.
z, Hotel Royal, New York, 30; April 2S,
theater, Philadelphia, 1o.
Besides these there were on March 81
an explosion at Jordan, Mich, by which
10 lives were lost; June 13, the explo-
sion at the Mare Island navy yard,
which killed 13, and June Is, the fall
of the bridge over Licking river, by
which 80 lives were sacrificed. These
are the principal disasters of the year
thus far, and they involve an aggregate
of 900 lives. Adding to this total the
sum of losses by minor accidents we
have the following sad and unusual
record: BY fire, S76; by drowning, 1884,
by explosions, 313; by falling struc-
lures of various kinds, 287; by mine dis
asters, 308; by windstorms, $40, and by
lightning, 100. Grand total, 1858.
The total loss of life by these causes
during the whole of last year-and 1891
was one of the most destructive years
onrecord--was 5,762. Chicago Tribune.

A Bad Year for Railroad Building

From the returns now received at this
office, collected with unusual care and
thoroughness, we find that during the
six months from Jan. to July there
have been laid In the United States
1895 miles of new main track ON lis
lines in thirty-fve of the states and
territories. Last year at this time we
found that 1,728 miles of track had been
laid, SO that it would appear that there
has thus far been a falling off of over %
per cent. compared with the same
period of 1891. But review of the
work in progress throughout the coun-
try does not warrant the belief that the
falling off for the entire year will be in
any such proportion. Last year showed
the smallest aggregate of track laying,
4,200 miles, that has been reported in
this country since 1S85.-Chicago Rail

There is no improvement in. the sal

Odd Ideas of Beauty.

An African beauty must have small
eyes, thick lips, large, fat nose and a
skin beautifully black. In New Guinea
the nose is perforated and large piece
of wood or bone inserted. On the north
west coast Of America an incision more
than two inches long is made in the
bower lip, filed with wooden plug.
In Gz1inea the lips are pierced with
thQrns, the head Of the thorn being in
side the mouth and the point resting on
the chin. .---Jenness Miller Illustrated.

ninerens Terms for tho Same Things.

Different Terms for the Same Things.
Among the peculiarities of SO cnised
pure English, nothing is more singular
than the difference between the names
given to footwear. In America boot
is something which comes nearly up to
the knee, while in England anything
above low cut shoe is invariably de-
scribed as boot. The same peculiarly
exists in regard to hose. In England
the only two words used are stockings
and socks, the difference being entirely
in the length of the leg, and the word
half hose being purely American. In
the trade in this country there are three
distinctions-the stocking, a sock and
half hose. There is no ribbed top to the
American sock, and there are other
technical differences which are unheard
of in the old country. st. Louis Globe
