or Son John.

Few men have ever combined
sternness AID iniexibility of purpose
with tenderness of heart to such an
extraordinary degree as Stonewall
jackson. OF his kindness his widow
relates this pleasing example in her
biography of her husband:
Near the close of one of his most
arduous campaigns an old woman
called at his headquarters, and to the
amusement of the young staff Off
GERS said that she had come to see
her son John, who was with Jack
sons company" She was much sur
prised that they could not tell her
where John was, for he had been
with "Jackson's company" in all the
battles.
Her persistency finally changed
the young mems amusement to an
nOyance; but when General jackson
came in and heard her simple story
he listened with as much politeness
as if she had been some grand lady.
and after gently reproving the young
officers for laughing at her, he or
dered that every company of his
corps should be searched for John,
who was at last found, to the mex
pressible delight of his loving old
mother.

Recovering Umbrellas.

At the present time there are
many large factories sending out
thousands of umbrellas, and there
are signs in the dry goods stores
which read:
Umbrellas recovered while YOU
wait"
This is done very neatly. The man
in charge of the umbrella depart
ment takes your old umbrella, meas
ures it, selects a cover, disappears a
moment, and returns with new
article which be hands you. It is
the old frame handsomely fitted to
a new silk or alpaca cover, as you
may select, and you are surprised
that it should fit strange ribs so
neatly. But there seems to be a per-
feet agreement, which is apparently
a nice trick of the umbrella trade

What lazy fellow" he thought.

his indignation increased, until at

how to do his work. Are you not
ashamed" he asked, ITO pour out no
more than two or three pals min,
ute?" The man smiled, but said he
could not well do more. "Well, I'll
show you what more can be done. 3
So he went to work with great zeal,
and poured out six or eight pals a
minute.
Now" he said triumphantly,
handing back the pail, I've taught
you lesson. I hope you will profit
by it. please your honor" said
the man, would you be kind enough
to go on that way another five min

doubted but six pals could be poured
out in minute, but what want to-
know is how long you could go on at

THE famous Edam cheeses which
grace the table of every well kept
hotel and restaurant in the country, "
said a prominent groceryman of this
city, ARE often subject OF inquiry
as to what they are and whence they
come. Their round shape, with that
peculiar reddish purple tinge is a
marked contrast with all other cheese
productions of the world. There is
nothing new fashioned about them,
for if Colonial tradition is true Myn
heer Peter Heyis, of Edam, Holland
who brought a lot in the hold of his
Dutch ship in 1851 to the Delaware
river, so tickled the fancy of the In
dams with these odd looking articles
that he bought large tract of land
afterward named the Valley of the
Swans, from the redskins with a
barrel of his Edam cheeses. After the
cheese had been devoured the gentle
aborigines repented themselves of
their rash speculation, and a month
later massacred the entire Dutch col
ony. "-Philadelphia Press.

weigh more than $50 pounds, and
during the past few years he has in
creased in weight rapidly. He is
comparatively young, under forty
years of age and may yet add an ex-
ira fifty or seventy five pounds to his
enormous weight. = Beleville On

The Tail of a Wolf.

The wolf carries its tail hanging
down because. in that position it is
less conspicuous and better eludes
detection. A family of wolves play
ing together undisturbed occasional
ly carry their tails curled upward.
By degrees the tail acquires natural
ly the upright position as a result OF
coincident evolution of the mind OF
the wolf by domestication and of the
slow adaptation of the appendage as
an organ of expression. The cessa-
ton of natural selection in the do
nestle dog would give the tail great
er freedom of motion without detri-
ment to life, and artificial selection
modifies it into various shapes

Chinese engagements.

"A Chinese engagement dates its
beginning from the exchange of red
cards between the parents of the
contracting parties. These cards in
many districts are immense docu-
ments almost the size of horse
blanket. They are important for the
reason that they are used as evidence
in case of disagreements in the flu
ture. We seldom hear in China of
broken engagements. Yet if a quar-
rel cannot be settled peaceably re-
course is had to the law, and the
judge usually imposes a fine upon
the party who has broken the CON

"Oh, yes, knew some of them most

more intimately than I cared to. 3

THE FIRST MESSAGE.
A Story of the Days When the Telegraph
Was an Unknown Medium

| Was an Unknown Medium.
On May l, 1874, the Wing conven-
ton met in Baltimore and the eyes
OF the country were upon it. BY
that morning Professor Morse had
established Geographic communica-
ton between Washington and An
napolis Junction, where was sta
toned the assistant of Morse, who, 1
understand, was Alfred Vail. All
that afternoon Professor Morse and
were alone together in the little
room In the Capitol. A gratifying
message had come from Annapolis
Junction that everything was ready
at that end of the line, and that
there could be no doubt of the sue
cess Of our plan to convince all
doubters that the electric telegraph
was a wonderful invention, which
would revolutionize the transmission
of news.
1t is half century since that day,
and yet have vivid recollection of
the dramatic incident with which it
To this day / can see plainly the
narrow, disordered room in which
we were, with it's wires and jars and
chemicals, and in the midst of it the
weird figure of the great inventor
who was about to realize his one
hope. after so many years of disap-
pointment and delay. He was very
quietly dressed, his coat muf1ed
about his throat, and his long hair
tumb1ed about his forehead. He ap-
peared to be nervous and apprehen-
sive.
The grave question to be settled
was whether, the electric current
would remain on the wires with suf-
ficient strength to work the signals
through so long a distance as forty
four miles (for in those days metal
lie circuit was used. Even those
who believed that the instrument
had done its work over a short cir
cult of few miles doubted its COM

times preceding this trial, and re-

no anxiety whatever to learn how
Professor Morse was progressing
with his work. A general opinion
among those who had heard of the
proposed attempt was that it would
not succeed. It was too absurd to
discuss.
Late In the afternoon, suddenly, the
instrument on the table began to click.
Eagerly Professor Morse bent for
ward over the strip of paper that slow
ly uprolled from the register. The
paper halted, moved ahead, stopped
and moved again in an irregular way,
till finally Morse rose from his close
scrutiny of the paper, stood erect
and looking about him, said proudly,
Mr.. Kirk, the convention has ad-
journed; the train for Washington
from Baltimore has just left Annap-
oils junction bearing that informa-
ton, and my assistant has tele-
graphed me the ticket nominated. !"
