"Young and Gentle and Kind"

Yesterday was a memorable one to
veteran drover Isaac Cochran. He per-
sonally conducted the sale of lot of
stock at his stable yards in the east
ward, and extolled the qualities of every
animal offered until the presence of a
red bull was announced. This animal
Isaac proceeded to affectionately touch
up with his stick and umbrella. "Alivei
Look at him-young and gentle, kind
and"- The stick flew one way and the
bull another at this point. He was af-
ter Isaac. The latter threw his UNI
brella and finally his hat at the bull, all
to no purpose. The animal was gun
ming for Mr.. Cochran; it was he who
had pricked him too hard with the UNI
brella.
Mr.. Cochran cleared five rail fence
at one bound, and then the animal be-
gan adjourning the sale, which he did in
short order. Some climbed the posts,
others sought safety on the roofs of
adjacent sheds, while more crawled
through the knot holes. The bull find
ing he was lord of the manor, turned his
attention to Mr.. Cochran's hat, which
he tore into shreds. Above the din and
noise of the trouble, however, could be
heard Mr.. Cochrans voice calling:
"Alive! Look at him-young and gentle
and kind. "-West Chester Local News.

The Speed of Naval Ships.

The speed of English naval vessels is
generally determined by a run over a
measured mile. This is as if a sprint
runner were allowed to take flying
start, and as if the speed he attained by
squirting 100 yards ON good track were
assumed to be the speed he could make
in chasing pickpocket in the street. It
is notorious that these vessels rarely if
ever attain in actual service the speed
with which they are credited. 1t will
therefore be understood how much more
accurate was the test imposed upon the
new cruiser Philadelphia when she was
made to run forty miles and back along
the coast of Long Island. The record
she made was of course materially aided
by the work of the most sSillful engi-
neers and stokers employed by the
Cramps, and by the use of picked coal,
but there seems to be little reason for
doubling her ability to run twenty knots
an hour in actual service.-nlustrated

Death of an Aged Printer.

1t is with no ordinary feeling of sor-
row that The Alta offers tribute to the
memory of one of it's oldest and most
faithful employees, Charles G. Hughes,
who had been connected with this paper
for nearly forty years He came to The
Alta young man, almost in the first
flush of youth, and he grew old and gray
in its service. At the time of his death
he was foreman of The Atlas press
room, position which he had filled I'M
interruptedly since 1857; but for several
years prior to that time he had rendered
faithful service in the same department
of this pape~ He was a man whose
sterling worth commanded the respect
and won the affection of all who knew
him.-San Francisco Alta.

Compress Heater and sterilizer.

A useful appliance has been intro
duced in hospitals in the shape Of com
press heater and sterilizer. There is no
moistening or wringing of hot cloths
necessary. 1t does away with the use of
oiled silk or cotton, as it cannot wet bed
clothes and will retain heat longer than
the ordinary compress, and the COM
presses may be applied to different pa
tients without washing, as they may be
easily sterilized and freed entirely from
germs.-New York Telegram.

Two Lexingtons.

1t is curious that Lexington, the
title of a British lord, should have
become the slogan of the American
Revolution. but no more curious than
the fact that the first spot of ground
on this continent named to commen-
crate the opening battle of that st1'ug-
gle should have been located beyond
the confines of civilization, and in the
heart of the far distant wilderness of
Kentucky. Lexington, the metropo-
lis of the blue grass region, is today
the Oldest public monument in exist
ence to the first dead of the war of
independence, and she was toasted as
the first namesake of Lexington,
Mass, at the centennial celebration
of that battle.
The beautiful incident of the nam
ing of Lexington, KY, which oc-
Cured early in June, ITS, was wit
messed by Simon Kenton and other
noted pioneers. Longfellow was
urged to make it the subject of a
poem, and correspondent with the
writer in regard to it, but he died,
unfortunately, too soon for the story
to be embalmed by him in immortal
verse. George w. Ranck in Har-

A Bit of Correspondence.

A remarkable correspondence has been
published, ending in a true Irish fashion.
1t begins: "Mr. Thompson presents his
compliments to Mr.. Simpson, and begs
to request that he will keep his Dogs
from trespassing on his grounds"
"Mr. Simpson presents his compli-
ments to Mr. Thompson, and begs to
suggest that in future he should not
spell dogs with two gees"
''Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr.
Simpson, and will feel obliged if he will
add the letter e. to the last word in the
note just received, so as to represent
Mr.. Simpson and lady"
'Mr. Simpson returns Mr.. Thompson's
note unopened, the impertinence it cob
tains being only equaled by its vulgar
ity."-London Tit-Bits.

In Luck.

A broker stepped out of the Broad
street door of the Stock Exchange re-
Gently. apparently after having made
some money. He espied little mite of
ragged newsboy not three feet high,
and philanthropic notion took posses
sion of him. He caught up the little
bunch of rags, and carrying it to cigar
stand procured an empty cigar box.
This he placed in the dazed boys hands.
Then the broker dashed into the Ev-
change with wild whoop that directed
general attention to him. Instantly he
was surrounded by a crowd, and Broker
Dick Halstead threw a coin into the box,
seized the boy, passed him to j. w.
Bass, who also passed him on after drop
ping contribution into the box.
Coins and bills began to rain into it.
The Sugar trust crowd was invaded, then
the New England crowd, and the pile of
money in the box grew rapidly. The
yells, the sight of the money and the
general novelty of his trip were beyond
the little fellows comprehension. He
simply stared blankly. Finally he was
released. There must have been $50 in
the box. He shot out of the exchange,
and was last seen running up Nassau
street, hugging the box tightly to his
breast. Who he was, where he lived, or
what he would do with his fortune no
one knew.-New York Times

Electricity supcrseding the Cable.

A change, which is strongly suggest
i've as indicating the tendency which is
now being markedly shown in regard
to the street railway traction of the fut-
ure, has been made ON a street railway
line in Omaha, where the cable has been
superseded by electric cars. The conf
pany has tried both modes of propulsion,
and finds electric motors are cheaper to
work and in almost every way preferable
TO the cable.-New York Commercial

comfort wien NeglIge shirt..

Wearers of neglge shirts ought to be
thankful to New Haven man, who has
hit upon a means by which all the adj
vantages of suspenders and belt can be
had without any of the disadvantages.
His plan is a very simple one and con-
sists of wearing the suspenders next to
the undershirt, the silk, cotton or flannel
shirt being outside. At the waist of the
outer shirt horizontal Sits are cut and
stitched like buttonholes. Through these
Sits the straps of the suspenders are
brought and fastened to the trousers. A
broad belt or sash covers the waistband,
Sits and straps, and the result is a belt
effect with suspender comfort.-Phila-

AT the same time they had made every
