a good story has recently come to
light about st. Folk, the celebrated
French poet, who, in spite of his large
income, was always in debt. One day
he sat in BARRIERS chair, waiting to be
shaved. He was lathered when the
door opened and a tradesman entered
who happened to be one of the poets
largest creditors. No sooner did this
man see st. Folk, than he angrily de-
manded his money. The poet compos-
eddy begged him not to make a scene.
won't you wait for the money until
I'm shaved?' he asked. Certainly"
assented the other, pleased at the pros
pect. st. Folk made the barber wit
ness of the agreement, and then, taking
a towel, wiped the lather from his face
and left the shop. He wore beard to
the end of his days Golden Days.

SURPRISING FIGURES.

THE saloons of London if set side by
side would make distance of seventy
five miles.
THE cemeteries in London cover 2, 900
acres, and the land they occupy repre-
sents capital of $40, 900, 900
DURING the past 100 years 453, 1854 pat
ents have been issued in the United
States Only three were granted in the
year 1890.
DANIEL A. WELLS, the statistician,
says that the waste through drink in
the last forty years has been $40, 600, 900,
sum which equals the aggregate
savings of the people from 1888 to 1857.
THE estimated wealth of the United
States, that is, the value of all lands,
buildings. railways, ETC., is put at S64,-
600, 600, 600. The amount of money of
all kinds is estimated by the secretary
of the treasury to be 50, los, 100, O92.
IT will surprise many people to know
that on the average as many people
freeze to death in Massachusetts as are
killed by lightning. For the ten years
to the end of 1888, the number that per-
ished from either cause was the same
80, or an average of only little more
than three persons a year.

Character in poorwnvs.

The entrances to houses are very sup-
gestive, and there is even an impress of
the character of the inmates of a dwell
ing in the treatment of the little vesti-
bule and closed front doors, which
show through the large panes the cur
tains within. Even the door-mat bears
evidence for or against the social posi-
ton of its owner, while the door-knobs
and other metal work give silent testi-
mony in regard to the taste aud good
breeding of the proprietors of the
house Then, as everyone knows,
there IS the professional-lookiug door,
the boarding house entrance, the COM
mercial-loolfing portal. the big preten.
tious-looking vestibule of the "genteel
fiat" and many others too numerous to
mention; but when, on looking up a
number, we go up neat-looking steps,
and see before us well polished brass,

Not So Very ComnIer

A school inspector was examining a
class in grammar and trying to eluci-
date the complex relations of adiec-
tives and nouns, by telling example.
"Now, for instance" said he, what
am I?' That was an easy question,
and all the children shouted: "a
manP' and then looked around trium-
phantly, as much as to say: ASK an
other" ''Yes, but what else?" said the
instructor. This was not SO easy, but,
after a pause, a boy ventured to sug-
gest: "A little man" Eyes, but
there is something more than that"
This was a poser; but at last an infant
phenomenon almost leaped from his
seat in his eagerness, and cried:
please, sir! / know, sirl An ugly
little man!''-Golden Days

The complaints became SO vigorous that
a raid was determined on. In some

hot reception. They filed the rear yard

other stuff. Barbed wires were strung
SO that officers scaling the fence would
become entangled in them. A cellar
way was partially filed with sticks of
timber, and the door left open. The
officers came as expected. They walked
into the trap. They were shamefully
cut and torn by the wires and bruised
by falls over the distractions in the
