Saving to No Purnnse.

1t has sometimes happened that per-
sons little deserving, and even rulers,
have reaped the harvests which misers
have painfully sown. The life of Van
ollie is proof of this. This man lived
upon bread and milk, with the addition
of q small glass of sour wine on Satur-
days. At his death he left $500. 900 to
the king of France. Audley, the COM
monwealth miser, saved 100000, all Of
which reverted to the government

A Boys Essay on Breath.

From an Exchange.
A little boy in the North Side Public
School recently handed in to his teacher
the following composition on "Our

"Our breath is made of air. If it
were not for our breath we would die
The breath keeps going through our llv-
er, our lights, and our lungs. Boys shut
up in room all day should not breathe;
they should wait until they get out doors.
Air IN room has carbonocide in it, and
carbonocide is poisoner than mad dogs.
Once some men was shut up in black
hole in India, carbonocide got into
that there hole, and afore morning near

like leaders with war-like names have
stood so often and so long with feet so
wide apart in the desperate effort to
stand on two opposing platforms at the

bear the strain much longer. There's

At Indianapolis where Third Partyism
is on deck, such man being confronted
with his unconditional surrender of prin-

Louisiana has $50 miles Of river

overflow of the river over $4,000, 600
cubic yards of earthworks have been
constructed. The complete system of

enormous cost of nearly $40, 600, 900,
while annual repairs in ordinary sea-

few exceptions. the largest in the
world. But even these have been i'm
proved upon. and larger ones made at
certain bends in The river where the
danger is great.
III 1888 the water rose 10 such
tremendous height that it broke down
the great lcvecs with apparent ease,
aud inundated the country for miles
away, flooding portions of St. Louis.

millions of dollars worth of damage
was caused.

Last Sunday VIC were driving up

many of our readers know, the wate.
runs very swiftly and in great volunJ
up there, and of course, the fax1r was
carried dowp stream. The mother
deer seemed to lose all fear of us, and
ran alorg the edge of the ditch trying
to refch her 1Spring with her head.
Suddenly she ran ahead of the floating
fawn for some little distance. She
plunged into the ditch with her head
down stream and her hindquartcrs
toward the fawn. Shc braced her
fore feet firmly in the croviccs of the
rocks to resist the rush of waters. In
a second the fawn was washed up on
its mothers back, and it instinctivcly
claspcd her neck with its forclcgs.
The doc then sprang from the ditch
with the fawn on her bsc!l. She lay
down and the baby deer rolled TO tho
ground in an utterly exhausted condi-
ton. Mr.. Swcctcrs aud oursclf were
now not more than 80 feet from The
