Juvenile CandOr.

A little six-year old, pretty as a pic
ture and wonderfully bright, was in
vited out with few friends of her own
age the other evening. 1t was at Cass
avenue residence that the little misses
and masters were entertained. After
an hours romp, during which our hero
inc showed precocious dignity, dinner
was served. the lady of the house giving
the matter her personal supervision.
When she reached this particular little
girl the matron said, Are you well
helped, my little dear?"
"Oh, I'm beautifully helped. Be-yoo-
tifully, but what kind Of a partner have
you given me? He sits here just like a
little dummy, and hasn't said single
word since we came to the table,"
The small boy slid under the table,
the good lady laughed and the pretty
little miss capped the climax by declar-
ing that she would be so much obliged
if she could be helped to another part
ner.-Detroit Free Press.

A Te1enhone Marvel.

An interesting and amusing instance
of the efficacy of the London-Paris tele-
phone occurred the other day which is
worth recording. The Salvation Army
band were marching from the Royal
exchange playing the "Marseillaise, "
when an idea struck the men present in
the telephone room. The windows and
doors were thrown open, and the at
tendant at the Paris end was asked if
he could hear anything. The response
Gn French) was immediate, eyes, l can
hear band playing the 'Marseillaise. ;"
That band Of music playing in the
streets of London could be plainly dis
tinguished in Paris is, we think, suffi-
GENTLY striking marvel of the Nine
teenth century science.-London Elec-

A WOman's Good Name.

Many people who would recoil with
horror from cutting a human creatures
throat, which really does not hurt very
much and only lasts a moment, will
murder woman's good name without
remorse or compunction, and that hurts
worse than death for lifetime. 1t
is q meaner crime than murder. We
cry out, and rightly, too, against the
sensational and depraving habit of MAX
ing heroes of robbers and cutthroats.
1t is horrible thing to do. And yet 1
have less of hatred and loathing for the
late Jesse James than l have for some
people who have never been convicted
of capital crime, bat whose tongues,
we know, are worse than any knife that
ever severed Il human jugular.-R. j.

When a Man Walks.

The man afoot on the surface of his
own earth is the true king; the so called
monarch who journeys in a coach or in
a bomb proof railway carriage is, in
truth slave. The pressure of the free
foot on turf or road exhilarates the soul;
the magnetism of our mighty mother
flows into our nerves and nourishes
their vitality; our blood dances through
our veins and strengthens muscle and
organ. The whole atmosphere is our
own; it flows rhythmically into our
lungs and unites us with the sky. The
horizon wooes and stimulates the eyes;
they become bright and gain power and
Judgment. Nature instructs us at every
step; her beauty must ever remain un-
known to him who has not thus placed
himself face to face with her.
Distant hills slowly draw near and
unfold to us their wonders of color and
form; winding valleys reveal their love-
ly hearts to our orderly seeking, temper
ing their surprises by exquisite grada-
tions. The trees are companions; each
yields to us its individual charm, and so
passes us on to the new charm of its
neighbor. The forests veil from us the
sky, as if to remind us of the beauties of
this earth; the broad plains smile to
heaven, in intimation that earth and
heaven are inwardly at one. Every in
sect, animal and bird vouchsafes us
glimpses of its secret life, which shuns
the monstrosity of our machines. s.-Julian
Hawthorne in TiinnincOtt's

THE FORCE OF HABIT.

n Story which Illustrates the conse.
quenccs of Getting Into a Rut.
ssIt's strange what creatures of habit
some Of us are," said Mr.. Staybolt,
ssThere's my friend, Walter Gratebar.
Exemplary man, capable and efficient
under ordinary conditions, but lost If he
departs from his daily routine. His wife
is Just like him, methodical in every
thing. They have roast beef for dinner
on the same day each week. There is a
breakfast bill of fare for each day in the
week, and it never varies. Mr.. Gratebar
doesn't remember the time, for instance,
when they didn't have picked up Goldfish
on Tuesdays.
"He is so accustomed to these things
that his sense of taste now runs in waves.
which recur with absolute regularity.
1t is probable that if picked up canvas
back was set before him on Tuesday
morning it would taste to him more like
picked up Goldfish, for that's his Goldfish
morning, and his taste is set for codfsn.
AS matter of fact, he ate smoked beef
for breakfast last Tuesday morning and
didn't know it until night. 1t seemed to
him that there was something wrong
about that breakfast, but he didn't tmake
out what it was.
"He went to his business at the usual
time and began his work in the usual
way, but everything went wrong. When
noon came he went to the same restaurant
that he had always been to, stood in the
same place at the lunch counter, ate the
same lunch that he had eaten for years,
and was back at work in twenty min
utes, as usual, but nothing seemed to
go right, and as the afternoon wore on
there was added to his other woes a
feeling of physical discomfort. His
work dragged and he was late home.
"'I don't see what can be the matter
with me- he said to Mrs. Gratebar. 1t
can't be anything I've eaten, can it? I
ate very little of the Goldfish this morn
ing
'Walter'-
"There was strange tone in her
voice, and her methodical, but usually
very pleasant and cheerful, face now
wore look of self reproach.
"'Walter,' she said, you didn't have
Goldfish for breakfast; you had smoked
beef
"sWhy, how's that he said, with
calm face, but with a lighter heart, for
it was relief to him to know what was
the matter with him.
"'We were out of Goldfish, said Mrs.
Gratebar. and Mary forgot to order it
of the grocer
Sand SO they had had to eat Wednes-
days smoked beef on Tuesday, the cod
fish day. But they are running accord
ing to schedule now, and Mr.. Gratebar
is himself again. Now York Sun.

Tho IntclliEcnt Foreigner and Buffalo.
A Buffalonian writes from Nice that
in the smoking room of his hotel, which
is frequented chiefly by English people.
the after dinner talk is very apt to drift
toward American topics, and any guest
who hasvisited that country sets up at
once as an authority on the subject. One
gentleman, a Scotchnnan and man Of
education and breeding, said: "Ah,
yes! know you Americans pretty well.

years ago." When asked what Impress

found great laxness in the administra-
ton of the laws. In many cities Ireally
felt that it was unsafe to go about the
streets after dark. In what cities? Well,
in Louisville, Chicago and Buffalo, par
ticularly in Buffalo, where saw great
numbers, hundreds of the aborigines go
ing about without restraint"
Our Buffalo friend pricked up his ears
at this and made some incredulous re-
mark. Indeed, yes,' said the other,
"the native red men in blankets and all
that" Our friend observed that Buffalo
happened to be mis- place of residence,
and that the only savages he remen-
bcred seeing there were the occasional
and inoffensive venders of sassafras root,
but the Scotch gentleman knew better.
Buffalo was wild and dangerous bor-
der town, and he did not hesitate to let
his American interlocutor see that his
statements concerning tie present COM
mercial greatness of that city could not
impose on him. He had been there

A Daring Sneak Thief,

Residents of Hyde Park can now sit
down to their tables and enjoy their din
ners without having the pleasure of the
meal marred by the fear that climber"
was probably pillaging the upper stories
of their home. The Hyde Park police
have captured Bruno Pruhn, daring
sneak thief and porch climber. To him
are attributed by the police the numer-
GUS robberies which have occurred in
Hyde Park during the last few months.
Pruhn always uses the same tactics
in entering a house. He selects resi-
dence which stands next to an unfin-
ished building and enters it on one of the
upper stories from one of the windows
or the roof of the new structure while
the family is on the first floor OF base
ment at dinner. Pruhn selected Hyde
Park as base of operations because
much building is going on, and he could
easily find house to suit his plans

Peter the Greats Motto.

Every one can appreciate the impor-
tance of the slight matters spoken of, be-
cause the wonderful results are now be-
fore the world. But the beginnings Of
these things were treated with ridicule
or contempt. No matter how unimpor-
tant a circumstance appears, it is quite
possible that great results may come
from it. In q small building which was
once Peter the Greats workshop in Hol-
land is the inscription, Nothing is too
little for the attention of great man. ."

a pimcult TASK.

In the mayors office at the city hail
there is q large safe used for storing
nublic documents. The safe is set into
the wall and was placed there when the
structure was built. Inside is steel
burglar proof chest. having four bolt
Vale combination lock. The safe also
has a combination lock. After the death
of Mayor Doyle, in 1886, the little chest
was found to be securely locked and
nobody had the combination. 1t then
developed that Mayor Doyle was the
only person who knew the numbers by
which the chest could be opened, and
accordingly it remained securely fas-
tened, nobody having any idea of the
contents. The chest was unopened
through the terms of Mayor Doyle's sue
cessors until yesterday.
When Mayor Potter took charge of
affairs he learned the history of the steel
chest, and short time ago read the ac-
count of how Herbert S. Page fathomed
the mysteries of the most intricate safe
locks with ease. A combination of nat
ural curiosity and desire to know wheth-
er or not any public documents were in
the steel compartment induced the
mayor to forward communication to
Mr.. Page requesting him to come to this
city, and if possible open the little SAFE
Mr.. Page arrived and in the presence of
a number of city officials commenced
the work. He found the lock most
intricate one, being capable of 100000
600 changes. He labored forty minutes,
and at the end of the time the bolts
swung back and the door opened. There
was nothing in the chest.
After opening the door Mr.. Page stud
led out the combination and discovered
that the combination, which it was be-
lieved had died with Mayor Doyle, was
70-50-4-56. The lock was designed es-
pecially to prevent opening by sense of
touch, and Mr.. Page was highly COM
plimented for his skillful work. .-Provi-
