He Had His Coat Repaired.

He was one of the army who are liv-
ing and seeing life in New York on an
attenuated income, and one cold morn
ing he awoke to the realization that the
overcoat would be a necessary part of
his garb for that day. He looked at it.
Twas unpresentable. He thrust his
hands deep into his pockets. They were
empty. Two direful facts, neither of
them surprises, faced him, but he was
not annoyed. He proceeded cheerily to
a small tailors shop and presented the
overcoat for repairs.
"It will cost you dollar" said
Shears. "The price is no obstacle, pro-
ceed," replied the customer. Shears
turned the coat over to a subordinate
and sat down for chat with the heaven
sent customer, for Shears was Span
lard. And yet he was sufficiently Amer
icanized to produce deck of cards and
propose little game of poker. The
heaven-sent assented. Vest buttons
made admirable chips, and the cards
flew for some minutes, until the coat
was repaired. Then the customer paid
his bill in vest buttons, and received
from Shears fifty cents for the remain
ing buttons he had won. Then, equipped
for the inclement weather, he went
forth conscious of the rift in the clouds,
and bought for himself luxurious fifty
cent breakfast.-NewY York Times.

Pauline-Well, how shall we do it?
Penelope-We will both continue to
be engaged to him.
Pauline-Very well.
Penelope-We will inform each other
when he is expected to call. On days
when he has an engagement to call on
you will send him note asking him
to call on me. He can't call on both,
and, of course, he will have to lie to the
other. When man lies to a girl he
eases his conscience by sending her
either flowers or candy. One of us will
get the call and the other will get the
candy. When he has an engagement to
call on me you will do the same thing.
Pauline, see visions of unlimited flow

Human Relics of POmpeii.

In the museum at Pompeii are pre-
served the most horrid and pathetic
relics of the last days of the i'll fated
city. Early in 1868 the workmen who
were helping to unearth an immense
palace struck into cavity in the lava,
the nature of which, of course, was a
mystery. Without breaking further
into it they poured plaster of paris down
the crevices that were already opened,
and as soon as the plaster had hardened,
the crust of lava was carefully removed,
and 10! the form of human being in
his last struggles was revealed! The
outlines and form of the person ere
perfectly preserved, showing plainly
that he had been buried in boiling lava,
which had hardened about him. The
intervening 1, 800 years and the heat of
the lava besides had reduced the body
to handful of dust, but the lava had
left cast natural as life.
Since that time several bodies have
been reproduced-one of them with the
features so perfectly preserved as to
show the expression of the face. In some
of the plaster casts parts of the skeleton
are embedded. Two female casts which
are clasped in each others arms have
been called "The Mother and Daughter" :"
Persons who have seen this group say
that there is nothing in all Pompeii more
touching than the utter despair depicted
upon the face of the "mother. st

sewer whose polluted waters are worse
after they have passed considerable
populations The present intake could
hardly be better arranged to catch the
largest amount OF sewage and introduce
It directly into the homes and the

Two miles higher up. the river will

result in immense Improvement. The
advantage will be even more marked as
the population above and near to the
present water works increases, as 1t is
certain to do and that very largely.
The proposition involves the health
and the lives of the people. Some day
a change will have to be made. It can
never be made at less cost than now.

Tbe Proof of the Pudding.


When the eleventh hour Blaine
movement began the ISTELLIsEScER In
sisted that there was no sincerity in the
men who we're leading it. Mr.. Quay
was at the head OF those leaders.
After the adoption Of the majority
report Of the committee on credentials
on Thursday night any novice in poll.
tics should have been able to see the
handwriting on the wall 1t foretold
the nomination of Harrison.
Nevertheless Mr.. Blaine was placed
in nomination, although, by way OF &C.
cumulating indienities on him, it had
already been arranged by his eleventh
hour custodians to trot out Mckinley
and try to stampede the convention for
him.
Mr.. Blaine got but three votes in Mr.
Quay's state Of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Quay's vote was not one OF them. he
deserted Blaine and voted for McKin.
ley. Nobody is sc yerdant as to need
to be told that If there had been any
serious purpose to support Mr.. Blaine
hewould have received more than three
votes from his native state Of Pennsyl-
yania, which has always been proud of
him and in which he has been ex-
ceptionaliy strong.
The Blaine movement was the disin-
genuous scheme OF few cold-blooded
politicians, for the mostpart old enc
mics, who have probably at last sue
ceeded in driving him out OF public life.
They will find few to shed tears with
them over their discontinue.
