Real Babes in the Wood.

The two pretty little children of David
Wismer, of Quakertown, figured in the
role Of the "Babes in the Wood" few
days ago, but were rescued before tho
birds had occasion to cover them up
with leaves. They suddenly took it in
their heads, while playing in the street,
to make pilgrimage, and set out with
no further preliminaries than the prince
in the fairy tales. They came at last to
the road at Perkasie, several miles
away, but still were unweary, and kept
on their journey over the hills. Wonder
ing farmers gaped at them as they
passed.
The little ones soon struck the woods
and wandered around among the trees
until dusk deepened into evening, when
they composed themselves complacently
for slumber beneath the overhanging
branches. Meanwhile the frightened
father had spread the alarm and was
fast on their heels. He traced his babes
to the woods, where he awoke them,
and took them home with him hale

Goats and oxercoats.

A clothing dealer says that about one
fifth of the masculine portion of the city's
population go through the winter with
out overcoats. In most instances the
canse is the lack of money to make a
purchase, but there are men who are
able to buy but who refuse to wear Q
top coat. Some of these prefer two or
more suits Of underclothing to an over
coat. A great many whose occupation
keeps them indoors constantly invest
their money in street car rides on cold
days and get along well enough without
the big coat.
A well to do merchant scouts the idea
OF more than one coat ut time. He
keeps an assortment Of coats of varying
weights and uses them in accordance
with the high OF low temperature. He
insists that it is the only way to avoid
colds, which comes from overweight of
clothing that is used in all kinds of win
ter weather.-St. Louis Republic.

A Curious Clock.

A novel clock is now being exhibited
by the Watchmakers' union in London.
It is Of wood, beautifully carved and
stands six feet in height. The case is O
perfect fort in miniature, and instead of
a bell and striking hammer the hours
are announced by bugler, who energies
from a door at one side of the fort and
blows the call to assemble and march.
Almost instantly doors open on ali
sides. A regiment Of automatic SOL
diers, six abreast, march out, wheel to
the left, stop q few seconds to mark
time," and then march through another
part Of the fortress to the barracks.
These marches and countermarches &C.

Mixed at the Font.

One of the queerest incidents that ever
befell Catholic priest in the perform
ance of his duties occurred at the old
cathedral more than a week ago and was
witnessed by large crowd who were
viewing the decorations. The baptismal
ceremony was being performed at the
font and the recipients of the sacrament
were pair Of lusty lunged twins. One
Of the youngsters had come into tho
world weakly and was baptized instant
ly by an attendant.
The priest got wind of the matter, and
when the time came for performing the
ceremony asked the godmother which
was the regenerated babe. Consterna-
ton reigned supreme. The twins had
got hopelessly mixed, as usual, and the
similarity of appearance rendered iden-
LITIGATION impossible. The nurse was
called in and eyed the babies for birth
marks, but gave it up in despair. The
priest ended the dilemma by giving both
the youngsters conditional baptism and
the family went home satisfed.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

One-the conventional scheming villain Is not in

attachment Of Col. Prescott Of the Union army
for Miss Rachel McCreery. the daughter of a Con-
tederate. She returns his love. but through a
family alliance has BEEN betrothed to a cousin,
Gordon Hayne, Of the Confederate army. who is
captured a spy and dangerously wounded.
While Gordon is under sentence of death Miss
McCreery and her sister plan to effect his escape
under the pretence that he is dead. The sur
geons, who are suspicious that Gordon lie not
dead, insist upon an examination. but are frus-
trated by Col Prescott. Upon the appearance
OF the general, however, the surgeon is allowed to
proceed with the eXamin6 ton, when, to the
prise Of all il is found that Gordon died during the
intense excitement pending the examination. In
the closing scenes come the pleasant consumma-
ton OF the love affair between Col Prescott and
Miss Rachel McCreery. The humorous part Of the
performance is furnished by Mr. Bean, the news
paper war artist special for Deslies,' who wins
place in the affections of Miss McCreery's lively
and erratic young sister This in brief is the

time III the history OF the American grain trade
The total i about ~ 26j 90 bushels. and all but
10000 bushels Is Of the finest milling grades '
The storage of such an enormous amount
of wheat at one point is undoubtedly due
to its gradual accumulation at the head of
Lake superior, from the immense grain
fields of the Northwest, To await the open
ing OF water transportation on the great
lakes. the ice having not yet gone ont of

that: There had been steady east wind
for week, which had driven all the float
ing ice to the head of the lake, piling il
twenty feet high near the shore and catch
ing all the vessels in and ont of Duluth
Ninety-tive steamers and sailing vessels
were in sight, all motioness in the ice
fields. 1t was such scene as one sees in
pictures of arctic explorations" This
fits in with the statement about the ac-
emulation OF grain in an unusually inter
esting way
