THOROUGH WORK.
The Young. Thrifty German Didn't Say
 Much. but He Took Everything.


 Much. but He Took Everything.
 The old saying that tho German piles up greenbacks where the Amer ican sets out for the poorhouse Is strikingiy illustrated in a story from KanRalSee county. Ills Fritz Loeb, an awkward young German. trudged into the county one day and inquired the price of twenty acres of land Young Ed Bunch. of whom he made the inquiry, and who had inherited a fine farm and money besides, laugh- ed at him "A twenty aero farml" he said, ''why, that wouldn't support hen and chickens" "SoF remark cd the German.
 Fritz bought his twenty acres of land and went to work. Day after day, as MT. Bunch drove to town be- hind a span of bays, he saw Fritz wedding the garden, cutting missiles or hoeing corn. The Germans land yielded moro to the acre, his COWS gave more milk, his hens laid more eggs than his rich neighbors. Pretty Mrs Bunch, noting the Germans prosperity, said to him one day:
 You ought to take a wife, Fritz. [" Not one would haf me. he smil- ingly answered
 Some little Dutch girl might"
 'sSofh
 Years rolled on. Fritz, prudent and industrious, was making money. MT. Bunch still rode to town behind the span of bays. but he often bor- rowed money from the frugal Ger man, and before long the farm ana stock were mortgaged to the man who had proved that a twenty acre farm would support something be- sides a hen and chickens.
 Mir. Bunch died, and Fritz came into possession of the fine farm. There was little left for the widow and her two boys, aged ten and twelve.
 Der leetle boys can drive cop der COWS und dig taters," said Fritz Let dem live with me"
 The widow consented. and the boys, fond of Fritz, threw up their hats and turned somersaults on the grass.
 One day in July Fritz took refuge at the Bunch farmhouse during a thunder shower. The widow, nerv- ous at such times, was glad to see him, and gave him an easy chair and invited him to enjoy smoke. As the smoke from his pipe clrled up over bis head, Fritz remarked:
 Der farm vhas minea"
 "Yes, Fritz"
 Der span of bays vhas minef'
 "Yes, Fritz"
 Der leetle boy vhas mines"
 "Yes, Fritz"
 T no likes to leave holdings Vhas der vidder minef"
 She looked through the window at the rainbow arching the retreating storm cloud, and she answered in a low voice:
 ''Yes. Fritz"
 The next day they drove to the parsonage behind a span of bays Youths Companion.

THE "REe'LAR soY..


 How He Tries to Thrust His Family
 Upon Unsaspecting strangers-
 had given up my check to the baggage master at the ferry, and af ter obtaining possession of my satchel "a somewhat large and heavy one inquired if l might secure the serv- ices of boy to carry 1t for me as far as the entrance of tho Brooklyn bridge.
 The baggage master made no reply, but waved one hand and a dangling check strap in the general direction of West street.
 Iwent outside and explained the situation to a group of half dozen cab drivers who stood idling about the ferry house door.
 How large was the satcheli
 gave it's dimensions and probable weight.
 They received the information thoughtfully, and one of them disap- peared within the ferry house. He returned almost immediately. accom- panied by youth of about twelve years, whom he introduced briefly as the ''reglar boy"
 During the discussion which fol lowed, and in which the cab drivers severally joined, l discovered that the ''reg1ar price, was twenty-five cents.
 As the boy was firm, and so, also, were the cab drivers, I accepted him without further barley, and we began our journey toward the bridge.
 The boy walked a little in advance of me. His hair was of a painfully aggressive carmine. His legs were very long and thin, and seemed some how to belong to an older and much taller boy.
 On reaching the corner of Cort- landt and Greenwich streets l be- came aware that my satchel carrier had been joined by companion. The salutation. "Ah, there, Redneyp with playfully satirical reference to the violent hue of the others head, indicated his presence. ''Redneys" reply. if any, was in- audible to me. As he did not offer to lick" the newcomer. nor make any of the usual like demonstrations of resentment, I inferred that the appellation was one to which he had long since become inured, and it's of fensiveness produced no visible effect upon his sensibilities.
 As Rodney turned to resume his journey, in response to sharp re- quest to that effect from me, the other boy turned also and walked on beside him
 Finally. to my great relief, the bridge was reached, and, taking the satchel from Rodney. gave him his quarter.
 Something very like wink flashed between the two boys as l did so.
 Rodney essayed bit of conversa- ton.
 Nice night, mister2"
 Yes" said mechanically, prepar- ing to mount the steps leading to the car platform.
 Dis is me brudder," continued Rodney, indicating his companion with jerk of a very dirty thumb.
 "Ah," I replied.
 He helped me wid der bag"
 I had not noticed 1t and 1 said so.
 'FYes, he did. mister, urged Red ney, "when yer wusn't lookin'."
 l was getting very hungry.
 Rodney" I said wearily, "as a regular boy this is unworthy of you. Your statement regarding the assist ancerendered by your alleged brother is palpably and glaringly false. You were hired to carry that satchel You have received the amount agreed upon for so doing. Your relatives, Rodney, I must insist, are not in it.
 Rodney and his extemporized | .Thr1ddern departed New York

2 .99 i!

This is an odd number. but we are told there is luck in odd numbers. Certainly the man who gets the S2.99 shoe of NJ. A. Packard & Co. will be in luck. 1 have just received a'liberal consignment of these shoes in lace and congress for men aud have ,his to say about them: have handled boots and shoes for nearly 30 years, 20 years of which 1 have been engaged in manufacturing them and | have never seen as good shoe as tbs sold for less than $4.00. It is perfect in every detail for style, wear and comfort.
 have also received a lot of the Little Rock" shoes for boys and youths, made by the same firm. This is the most perfect line for lit tie men that have ever seen at a medium price.
 Referring to communication which l sent to Messrs. Packard & Go. with regard to advertising these goods, they say:
 We do no advertising of any kind, preferring to put all our money into the shoe itself instead of newspaper advertising. We will give you the VERY best shoe we can for the money and hope to hear from you often with orders. Yours very truly,
 N. A. PACKARD x Co"
 Hoping that everyone who sees this notice will decide to put my judgment in regard to these shoes to the test, am very truly,

The Folly of Suicide.

The sin of suicide is not more evident
than is its folly. In the vast majority
of cases the ills which provoke this des-
perate act derive their force not from
the actual misery they ~inflict, but from
V apprehensiveness. They are the
shadows Of clouds which threaten, but
may and often do pass away.
1t was one Of the cruel IrOnies of fate
that the suicide Of NJ. Prevost-Paradol
who had stultitied his most brilliant
writings 10y accepting a pOst-that of
minister from France to Washington
under the Second Empire, took place just
as the Liberal cause, with which his
na1nc had always been associated, was
on the eve Of triumph.
When Mary Wollstonecraft, deserted
by hey American lover, paced up and
down Putney bridge saturating her gar
nients with the rain SO that they might
not prevent her from sinking in the
water her life seemed indescribably
dreary-without a ray Of hope. Yet
this very hour Of despair proved to be
the turning point III her history, and
from it dated the truest bliss she had
ever known-a period of welded happl-
ness and joyous work. And so with
''the marvellous boy, the sleepless soul
that persisted in his PRIDE" Chatterton.
He poisoned himself in his wretched
garnet at the very time when the feet of
one who would have relieved his pow
erty were turned toward the street in
which he died.-Boston Transcript.

The Mozartian System.

The all peryading principle of the Mo
structiOn and an unmistakable geogra-
ply of tonality. Before Mozart, melodic
figures, subjects and keys, with all other
theoretical addenda at the disposal of
the creative musician, were confused.
Mere bits of tune and jingle, with a bril-
liant passage here and there, constitute
a movement, or even a composition.
Haydn had brought much chaotic and
irregular theoretical lore into clear and
definite shape, but Mozart simplified
matters still more. Introducing the
keenest outlines, the most beautiful fig
ures, together with clear and lucid
teachings, he defined the formal con
struction Of the movement, section, re-
peat, etc, until now the musician OF
student can set out with his principal
subject or theme, and having no misgiv-
ings concerning the dogmas Of subsidiary
subject, complimentary keys and the
ike.
SchOoled III Mozart's principles Of con-
~Gtruction, the student could pilot him
self safely through the intricacies of the
most advanced symphony, and it is for
his labors and the pattern he set in this
direction that the world Of music de-
lights TODD honor TO the name of Mozart.

Hrayery in "A Crow.

Some years ago at a hawking party
on Salisbury Plain. a falcon was flown
at a carrion crow, which it struck after
a long fight. and the two birds came
down like a parachute to the ground.
The party galloped up and were about
to disnount TO take up the falcon, when
the mate Of the crow suddenly de-
seconded from u great height with such
velocity that the wings made a whizzing
sound like that of a falling stone and
dashed onto the falcon. The force Of
the blow struck the hawk from its
quarry. which was uninjured by the
grapple in the air, and both crows flew
off unhurt into a copse near In this
case the crow clearly understood the
cause of the danger and the possibility
of a rescue when the falcon was ON the
ground and least able 10 act on the of
fensiye.
But the courage and devotion which
prompted il to overcome the natural
dread which the falcon inspires, and the
added terror Of Il party Of mounted men
in hot pursuit. place the crows claim to
admiration on a very high level.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Roman Wealth.

When l.. Calpurnius Piso was ap-
pointed governor of Macedonia for n
year he drew for his outfit from the pub
lie treasury 5000, 900 sesterces or $780,
600. He did not want the money for
that purpose; everything required by a
%proconsul was supplied to him by the
province. Piso simply took the money
for himself, and lent it out in Rome at
high interest. G. Verres was charged
by Cicero with having robbed Sicily Of
e350,0 600 in three years, besides many
valuable works of art. He practically
admitted his guilt by retiring from Rome
without attempting any defense. Cic-
erO, when governor of the poor province
Of Cilicia, found himself the richer in
one year 10y 100000, and he was perhaps
the only %proconsul who eve handed
over his surplus to the state.
There can be no doubt that Cicero and
the younger Pliny received large sums
from their clients while those clients
were still living. Balbus is not likely to
have secured the argument PRO BalhO"
for a mere trife, and the gratitude Of
Sicily for the prosecution Of Verres un-
doubtedly took a very substantial form.
Apart from all such honOraria, it is re-
corded that both Cicero and the younger
Pliny received legacies from clients to
the amount of e110, 600. Gibbon tells US
on the authority of Olympiodorus that
several of the richest senators had I'D i'll
come Of e1G0, 600 a year-without com-
putting the stated provision Of corn and
wine.-NatiOnal Review.

MARE ~SERENITATIS,

There all is waste and wild and dark and
drear,
The deepest silence-still in death;
No flying wing, no winding call-the car
Hears not the slightest breath.
All, all Is wild; no sunshine falls. Alone,
The very mountains seem to sleep.
No pine trees rock in wavy breeze. No moan
Comes from that silence of the deep.
From Tycho's broad chaotic waste to where
Gassendi's crater spreads,
There lurid, darksome mountains catch the
glare
Eternal DER their heads.
Where are the souls hat once those wales did
fill
That poured their hearts above
once gushing stream, now dried up, wasted
rill,
Once music soft as love?
Oh. that deserted world above! who knows
What hand hath made it so?
What epic strain could sweep in song its woes,
Divine what cause hath laid it lowT
Oh, nay, tbs not for human art TO soar
That vast chaotic deep!
When time and place and art shall be no
more,
Twill rouse from mystic sleep.

The American Soldier.


To know the American soldier well
you must toll with him over the desert
trail when the sun beats holly down on
the dry and verdureless earth, and the
dust rises in white clouds that hide the
column from view, and fills the eyes,
the mustache, the ears, the mouth,
with profanity and vexation. Here is
where his songs and jokes proclaim the
stuff that he is made Of. Then when
you are sent cut with him in the dead Of
winter over twenty inches of snow,
your equipments and supplies ON bob
sleds, he it is that dismounts time and
again without a murmur, pushing to
help the mules up hill, and ~repacking
the overturned sled a dozen times in a
day; then after it all digging his hole
in the snow, and putting up his tent at
night, all the time joking with his
'Bunkie," and ready as yer to steal a
wisp of hay or d handful of oats for his
shivering horse.
He it is that jumped into a boiling hot
spring to save the life of the daughter
of a private citizen-a deed for which
the citizen, who was a rich man, prof
fered the astounding sum of five dollars,
and the government the gold medal of
honor; he that took a fiat bottomed boat
out in a heavy sea in New York harbor
to rescue a drowning boy; that lost his
life for his fidelity while attempting to
swim an icy stream with dispatches;
who single handed served a field gun
through an action with a bullet in his
leg, to hold a position; he that you be-
lieve incapable of anything but buck
ing faro and drinking strong liquors.

How the Mosquito Does 1t.

\ mosquitoes bill is an elaborate o II
trivance and consists of two sharp saws
and a lance inclOsed in a sheath which
is also employed as a pump. The saws
are bony, but flexible, and the teeth are
neal the end which is pointed. The
lance is perhaps the most perfect instru-
ment known in the world of minute
things. 1t is first thrust into the flesh
and the opening is enlarged by the saws,
which play beside it until the sheath can
be inserted. The saving is what causes
irritation when Il mosquito is biting

City Girls Water Their Horse.

w. w. Hall, a young farmer near
Montpelier, enjoyed himself hugely a
few days back in watching a couple of
city girls attempt to water their horses
at the trough at his place. The horses
were checked up, and of course could
not get their noses down to the water.
This seemed to surprise the young ladies
at first, but finally realizing the trouble
they both got out of the buggy, and go
ing behind lifted mp on the hind axle
and after raising the hind wheels clear
off the ground peeped around the sides
Of the vehicle to see the horses drink.
Finding that the horses didn't seem to
know enough to stick their heads down
at the same time they raised the hind
wheels one girl remained behind to hold
the buggy up and the other went to the
horses heads and tried to pull their
noses down to the water.
After laughing till he shook several
boards off the side of the blacksmith
shop from where he watched the girls
lift on the buggy and pull on the horses
heads till they were red in the face and
almost ready to cry, Will went to their
assistance and unchecked the horses.
The young ladies gazed at first in be-
wilderment, and her with a kind of
i don't-yOu-ever-tell look at each other
calmly tucked the robe around them,
leaned back in their seats, and, after wait
ing for their horses to drink, drove off
leaving Will to sit down Oh the corner of
~the'trough and ruminate over the city
gal and her way of doing things.-Mo-
destO Herald.
