A STORY OF PROCTOR.

Senator Proctor is fast becoming
known as the wag of the senate. He
has such slow, ponderous voice
and solemn face that those not well
acquainted with him are unaware of
his abilities as wit. In the cloak
room, however, during long debates
his humor becomes manifest and has
full play. During his brief term as
senator he has told many good stor-
les to his senatorial colleagues before
the big wood fire This is the latest:
II have an old friend in Vermont
who during his long and useful life
has accumulated a respectable for
tune by the slow but sure process of
note shaving and money lending at
a fair interest. He has always look
ed carefully after his per cent, and,
now that he is rich, he finds life in
the little New England village quite
tame and monotOnous. He has lit
tie enjoyment and no means of spend
ing his money to advantage. The
last time | saw him he said to me in
a regretful, reflective sort of way
"Proctor, I'm getting tired of this
humdrum, money-getting life. [
think I'll have to try this bichloride
of whiskey cure and see If can't get
some of the gold out of me- Mebbe
then I'll feel better. - N. Y. Sun.

A FLYS FOOTSTEPS.

"These scientific chaps are queer
lot" said a hotel clerk to Washing
ton Post reporter. They are all
trying to see things whose very ex-
istence is unknown to ordinary NOR
tails, and listening to sounds so mi
mute and delicate as to defy and COM
pletely put to shame the keenest
cared Indian scout hero that ever de-
lighted the hearts of the readers OF
dime novel literature.
"An English chemist who was here
the other day exhibited little mi
crophone he had made which would
render audible the footsteps of fly.
1t was only small affair, and con-
sisted of a box with sheet of thin
straw paper stretched over the up
per side. BY means of a little electrl-
cal device, consisting of two carbon
disks, a carbon pencil and a weak
battery, the sheet of paper over the
top of the box was caused to pro,
duce vibrations when a fly walked
over it strong enough to react ener
getically on an ordinary telephone
transmitter when held close to the
latter.

A MARYLAND DUCK STORY.

Storytelling was in order among
the enthusiastic spOrtsmen of the
Baltimore Gun club at a recent
meeting. Rufus A. Brainard related
this experience: when l was a boy
l borrowed fint-lock gun, and was
at Frog Morter shore shooting with
my uncle. Early one morning l saw
thousands of canvas-back ducks
close in shore. | ran to blind, and
levelling my gun. banged away.
The ducks arose in mass, and not
one remained on the water. My
uncle came to me and scolded me for
not waiting for him. | saw some
thing strike the water, looked up
and noticed dead ducks falling
through the air. You see the ducks
were so closely massed that the live
ones carried the dead ones up with
them. We picked up forty-three
dead ducks when all had dropped.
Some crippled birds which could
spread their wings were carried off
by their fellows. There were lots of
ducks in those days"
The claim of forty-three dead ducks
showed that Mr.. Brainard was up
in shooting, as no one gunner, when
telling a story, ever kills an even
number of ducks or BIRDS Balti-

that every evening the Shelters are
made the centres of an active relig-
ious meeting, we realize that the in
mates are not left to the depression
or the excitement OF their own dis
couraged or polluted thoughts.
Every night bands of earnest work
ers sing and pray and exhort, give
brief and pointed testimony to the
help they have received in time past,
or declare their determination to
live changed lives for the time to
come. When the meeting is over,
the participants creep away to their
beds, either Indifferent, aroused, re-
morseful, diverted, or entertained.
Some among them were stirred,
perhaps, by the memory of better
things, while others may have re-
garded the meeting as huge farce.

SALVATION ARMY CHARITY.

These shelters make no claim to
ANYTHING beyond decent cleanliness
and comfort. Outside, the street
lamps burn dirnlv through the fog;
it is bright and light within. Out
side, the wind cuts pitilessly through
the thin garments; the Shelter is al
WAYS warm. Outside, the clothing
bears too often the mark of the gut
ter mud; it is always possible to
wash and be clean within, for hot
water and soap and towels are for
use of the inmates without extra
charge.
The women desiring lodgings may
come in as early as they will. Many
do come early, and sit about, and
mend their tatters, and gossip a bit
taking their bowl of soup or mug of
cocoa with as much true neighbour
illness as enters in other hospitable
quarters into the aesthetics of after
noon tea.
Rarely is there heard, either in the
Women's or Mems Shelter, the sound
of quarrels or obscene or drunken
talk. Those in charge report but
little difficulty in governing an ele-
ment that in the streets and alleys
would be almost beyond control

The accumulation of such evidence
is becoming so great that every
physician of experience feels forced to
share the belief of the communicable
ity of consumption. There are also
few physicians who have not had
one or more cases that for years they
had thought had been contracted in
this way. How else than by com
munication are we to account for
the rapid spread of consumption
amongst savage nations, where this
disease was unknown before civilized
people began to visit them? This is
true of our own American Indians,
the inhabitants of Central Africa,
and many other countries. Inter
marrying, or any other condition
which might make hereditary trans
mission a possible cause, certainly
could not account for its rapid pro-
gress. Besides, some of the best OBJ
servers and Investigators believe
that consumption is not hereditary
in favor of this view With such
evidence of the possibility of inhaling
the bacilli. the question would
naturally be asked. How do the
bacilli get into the a tmosphere, where
they are found in the breath Of suf-
ferers of this disease? We know
positively that in these cases bacilli
are present in the mucus which is
raised after coughing. In its moist
condition it is impossible for it to be
inhaled. but when it dries and be-
comes dust it is blown about, and it
is in this form that it becomes

THE RESULT OF FREE COINAGE.

If the effort of the United States is
to increase the use ofsilver for money
purposes, not here alone, but every
where, that effort would be defeated
by free-coinage law here, because,
while it would undoubtedly increase
the use of silver in this country, it
would reduce it elsewhere. 1t would
do more than that, for by enabling
foreign governments to melt down
their silver coins and sell them for
our gold at our coming rate, it would
destroy the interest OF such countries
in the restoration of silver as a
money metal. While it would tenn
porarily raise the price of silver, the
ultimate effect would be to raise the
price of gold the world over. by en-
aiding countries now having the
double standard, or the silver stan
dard, to adopt the gold standard,
thus creating an increased demand
for gold and causing it to apprecia tie
in value, aggravating, in fact, the
very evil complained of-the dearness
of gold AT the same time it would

THE RESULTS OF MODERN EDUCA
TON.

With all its novel modern powers
and practical sense, l am forced to
admit that the purely scientific brain
is miserably mechanically it seems to
have become a splendid sort of self
directed machine, an incredible
automaton, grinding on with its
analyses or constructions. But for
pure sentiment, for all that spon-
famous, JOYOUS Greek waywardness
of fancy, for the temperature of
passion and the subtler thrill of
ideality, you might as well look to
wrought-iron derrick. Science
found education laundering peacefully
along, cultivatin half of the MUD
with charming results and letting
the other die OF disuse; it worked the
startling miracle of electrifying this
dead half into life and bringing it
to perfect activity; and straight
way, satisfied with this remarka bic
achievement, it proceeded to neglect
the ideal half which the classics had
made so much of, and caused it to
perish 1t has substituted a new

What would be thought of a world

bind up the right leg till it withered
and became forever impotent, and
make it's graduates hop through life

HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

From a paper on Hans Christian
Andersen by Prof Hjalmar H
Boyesen, in the March Century, we
quote as follows The conversa-
ton then turned upon his writings,
and | told him how his stories had
been the dearest books of my child
hood, and seemed associated with
all that was delightful in the memory
of it. | told him how happy and
hattered l had felt at finding the
name Of the little boy in ole Shut
Eye the same as my own, and that
half unconsciouslv had appropriate
ed his experiences and half believed
them to be my own.
This little confession seemed to
touch Andersen strangely. Tears
filled his eyes; he seized both my
hands and pressed them warmly.
Nov you understand he said

ed talking; and on my expressing a
desire to hear him read, he half rose

His manner was easy and con-
versational, full of caressing inflec-
tons. such as one employs in telling
a tale to a child In the pathetic
passages he was visibly affected, and
he closed almost solemnly.

The Central Pacific has shown a very
friendly spirit towards Lovelock, the
good will perchance, being a liberal
policy, that has benefited the railroad
company as much as the community,
but in affairs that the general public
know nothing of, or perhaps never will,
has this corporation protected us against
a deteriorating influence. Changes have
been contemplated and partially consum-
mated, the results OF which would have
banished any hope of progress which
might now be entertained by us, but the
railroad has stepped in to checkmate
the deal. For like good acts credit must
be given, and a friendly spirit must
naturally follow between the people Of
the Big Meadows and the Central Paci-

enjoyable affair to all present. Music,
games, refreshments and visiting consti-

looked very pretty in their white silk
caps and white aprons.
