slept with big silver dollar under her
pillow which she had earned with her
own hands. l. was proud momebt
when they met in the paror Of tie
leader the next morning. Their eyes
beamed with joy as they realized more
fully than they had ever done before
that it is more blessed 10 give than TO
receive. They decided to take the
money to a pour man named ponigan
who lives on back street and has a
large family to support. When they
presented it to him he was profuse in
his thanks, and said that he had had
no work for two days, having been
unexpectedly deprived of job he
had been engaged for which would
have brought him exactly that amount
Of money. There were tears of Joy
in the eyes of the twelve young women
as they turned away from the humble
door Of Donigan. They had brought
a bright Christmas to one unfortunate
family at least. GLOW lucky it was"
oo'I VuC iCdNt - nc cI!C WIPCO uoL cNCos
''that we got the money for the poor
man when he was out of work! How
sad it must be to be willing to work
and have no work to dol" Then they
returned to their homes. The next
day it became generally known in
Minden City that tho work which
Donigan had been disappointed in
getting was that OF the saving Cress's
wood.
Heroic deeds like this Of the Mich>
igan young ladies should teach the
world much. Too many of Us are
prone to think that because we can
do but little that it is sufficient
reason why we should do nothing.
This reasoning is faulty. We should
all do what we can, be it much or
little. All honor TO the twelve beau
t,ful M,nden City society young ladies
who reduced Cress's woodpile TO
stove length! Their example will be
long remembered as the brightest raw
which lit up the holiday season of 1891

and for the making Of books? The
work of Southey, Coleridge, Matthew
Arnold and other eminent li.terateurs
goes to show that the two occupations
are not incompatible.
A critic attacking Mr.. Stillman's
position refers particularly to Southey,
whose success in conforming to the
conditions Of newspaper writing was
demonstrated by the fact that his
services long continued to be in re-
quest. His case has had many coun.
,erpsr's among brain. W orkers in Eng
land, France, Germany and Italy.
Taken by itself, it proves that there is
nothing irreconcilable betw cen jour
nalism and literature considered as
vocations. There is, in fine, no rea-
son in the nature Of things why the
same man may not labor effectively in
both fields, provided he can find the
time and vigor.

Is There Any Of His Fathers Pictur.
esqne Talent in This Little Story!
He was an American District mes
senger boy, about 10 years old, AID
he sat in corner seat near the for
ward door Of Sixth avenue elevated
train about 8 o'clock yesterday after>
noon.
The exigencies of his profession,
combined with a possible personal
aversion to soap and water, and an
abnormal supply of ircckles, which
stood on. upon his countenance like
numerous GASES in desert If dirt,
had obliterated all traces of the lads
original complexion and he locke d
somewhat as il he had spent good
part Of his ea,lier youth at the bottom
of coal bin.
At Grand street tall. fine looking
Frenchman got in at the lower door
and walked through the car impa-
tiently, looking for seat.
His heavy, dark.brown mustache
waxed to such an extent that the ends
stuck out on either side Of his face
like exaggerated darning. needles. He
had just passed the middle of the car
when he espied the telegraph boy.
"Ef you will geof me- your seat will
geof yon ten cents-eh?"
"Huh?"
81 will geof you ten cents for your
seat. Eat ees it-sec?"
SHAW"
Ivy, w, I eeof you re ten cents

"Ah, hull j.. Do you've want der
seat?"
"Oui, Gull"
"Ah, come off der band wagon. l
don't want yer ten cents" said the
boy rising.
"No, no, no, no. l will not take re
seat if you not take 20 tsn cents"
protested the Frenchman with visor.
"Soy, yer give me an oiIllgant pain
-see?" said the boy with marked
WEAKNESS, as he gravely walked out
across the platform and into the next
car.
He didn't take the ten cents.

English doctors term it, is reported
from different parts Of the State and
for that matter all over the country.
A few grains Of qu;nine taken about
three times day with very liberal

sleep earlier than usual, will speedily
carry off the depression.

journalism Aud Literature.

The question Of whether a jour
nalist can produce literature is dealt
with by w. j. Stillman in the Atlantic
Monthly. He considers it impossible,
on two grounds. First, that there is
not room enough in any man for both
Journalism and literature; and. sec-
ondly. that the two occupations are
mutual Y exclusive and essentially in
compatible. This opinion may be the
outcome of his personal experience,
but it will be generally conceded that
the relation of journalism to literature
is too complex and elusive to be ex.
haustively discussed and definitely
settled by one man.
1t is acknowledged that every man
has only limited amount OF time at d
a limited stock OF vitality available for
head work OF any description during
a single day. The limit. arc soon
recognized, and, if man exceeds
them one day, he will pay for the
excess on the morrow. 1t is, there.
fore, u truism to say that il all man S
available time and energy are devoted
to the production of news, aper copy,
he cannot attempt any other kind Of
literary work. Bat, granting sufli.
cient time, is it unlikely that aman
could combine the different qual6-
cations reeded for newspaper writing

SAN RANDALL'S POVERTY.

Z nnsylvanla's great commoner,
Samuel J. Randall, died a very
poor man. How poor WAS not dis
closed until recently Mrs. Fannie
w, Randall, widow and admins
tratrix of the deceased statesman,
has filed an answer in the Orphans
Court to proceedings brought by a
creditor Of the estate to compel an
accounting. Mrs. Randall simply
said in the answer that her husband
left no real or personal estate save
few personal effects, and that
after the payment of the funeral
expenses and the setting aside of
her $500 widows exemption there
was nothing to account for nor
enough money OF the esta left to
pay the costs required in the ac-
counting, She added that no dis
respect was intended by her to the
Court, but under the circumstances
she had not complied with the re-
quest.

While walking along the banks of
Sugar Creek, he saw what ap-
peared to be huge cloud arise in
his path. This cloud proved to be
a huge bald eagle. Weese urged
his dog to attack the bird, rs
Weese had nothing but an AK with
him. The dog went boldly to the
attack, and a desperate encounter
ensued in which the dog was we'll
nigh torn to pieces. Weese then
attacked the bird. 1t flew at him
with outstretched wings, uttering
piercing and savage cries. For a
time the contest promised tn go In
favor of the eagle, but the ak
finally accomplished its work, and
the splendid bird was dead. 1t

AN ALLOY RESEMBLING
GOLD.

This alloy, by the Menden works,
might be substituted for gold, not
only because of its color, but also
by reason OF certain properties that
it possesses. 1t remains unalter-
able, without any modification of
its color, even after having been
exposed for a long time to air con-
tanning ammoniacal or acid vapor.
1t can be rolled and worked like
gold, and has the aspect OF this
metal without containing the least
particle of it. This new alloy is
also much less costly than those
that are usually employed in place
of the preci pus metals. 1t consists
Of copper and antimony in the pro-
portion of about 100 to 6. 1t is
prepared by adding the desired
quantity of antimony to the copper
melted and heated to a certain tenn
parature. After the antimony is
melted aud intimately mixed with
the copper little charcoal, mag
nesium and calcspar are added to
the crucible. The f1ux has the
effect Of causing the disappearance
of a porus structure which the
material would not lose without
that, and furnishing a very compact
cast metal The latter can then be
rolled, beaten, hammered, harden
ed and soldered like gold, and, after
being polished it has the aspect OF
genuine gold, while its solidity is
much greater than that of be lat

of the Great Divide, and he is a
curious combination. He wears a
wild cowboy hat, has a gun on bis

pleases him, fires shot or two at
him to relieve his mind. He can
sling ink, as he calls it, with the
best writer's in the country, and
has pet rattlesnake in one of his
pockets, to entertain those who call
in with poetry which is not up to
his standard. When his paper, the
Great Divide, was started four years
ago, he made all the necessary
arrangements, but forgot to choose
a name. Nobody thought OF this
till they were all ready to print,
and then the foreman asked wha'
the name was to be. 'H-ll,' salc
this western editor, 4 had never
thought of that. Say, you chrlsteI

of name and all went out and
had drink % stimulate their I'm
aginations But it was OF no use
Finally it WAS decided TO throw
dice, and whoever won, was t.
name the paper or be shot on thu
spot. The printers devil won th'
throw and said before there WA
time to shoot, call it the Grea

To the one now held by an increasing

a nervous overstrain which weakens an

to preserve the nervous system from

CONSUMP rION AND THE

Consumption plays 50 large share IN
the civilized death rate, and its re-
striction would do much TO prolong hu-
man life, that every step in its study ID oil
deep public interest. DR.. Thomas
MAYS, of this city, has just published q
paper in which he renews his past ar
gument that consumption OF the lungs Is
closely connected, probably as re-
suit. with any serious weakening oi the
nervous system. This is indicated by
the greater relative frequency OF con-
sumption among the insane and lie le
minded, by the appearance OF insanity
and cousun ption with the greatest
frequency Of the same age, and 10y the
circumstance that consumption comes in
the lower animals, on which eK-
periments have been made, whenever,
the nerves reaching the lungs, the
pneumogastric nerve in particular are in
iured, or when. Ia man, injury to these
nerves is produced by disease. This
may indeed he due to the fact that these
nervous injuries and this nervous weak
moss are all part Of general weakened
state which ends in consumption Bn'
the large number Of facts grouped 10y pr.
Nays 90 far to indicate that the reason
why consumption appears at the opening
