Up with the Tim es.

In an East Ninety-frst street fiat there
lives West street business man and his
family.
SIT is queer fancy" he remarked,
"its funny superstition, but we've all
got it: every member of my family feels
the same about it.
sit was this way. In the year 1871 we
moved to New York. We lived in Sew
enty-frst street. Next year we moved
up to Seventy-second street, and in an
other year we moved still one more
street up town.
"This we continued to do for several
years. During the time l was prosper
ing wonderfully in my business. Ou1
children were bright and healthy. We
got to thinking about our even fortunes
one night at Christmas time, and it sud-
denly occurred to my wife that we were
literally keeping pace with the time
that we had lived, since first coming to
the city, in the street which correspond
ed to the year of the century. Well, we
come to grow superstitious about it, and
kept on moving up one street each year.
We are nearly ready now to move to
Ninety-second street. If anything should
delay us we would not be able to sleep
until we had caught up with our CEN
tury."-New York World.

The Gutta Percha Tree,

The steamer Cachar, which recently
arrived from Tonquin at Marseilles,
brought back M. Serullaz, who went
out two years ago on mission from
the French minister of posts and tel
egraphs in search Of the Isonandra
gutta percha tree in Malaysia. The
disappearance of this tree threatened
with great embarrassment, if not ex-
tinction. the submarine cable manufac
ture. But NJ. Serullaz has discovered
large forests of these trees, and has hit
upon practical WAYS of collecting the
gum without destroying the trees, as
the natives inevitably do. NJ. Serullaz
has been allowed to transport several
hundreds of the trees from ten to fifteen
years old to Algiers, and their cultiva-
ton Will be attempted also in Guiana
NJ Serullaz has left for Algiers with his
cargo, which is artifcially warmed on
board the Cachar.-Philadelphia Led

beds of DR.. Pacetti's residence ON Cuna
street in st. Augustine an earthen pot OF
water vase was dug Us. The find is ct
an exceedingly old pattern-older than
the oldest inhabitants here remember to
have seen in their times. The shape is
cylindrical, about three inches in diane
ter at the top or mouth and a little
larger at the base. In increases to near

Why They Are Close Together.

BY some it has been considered nys-
terry why two such important holidays
as Christmas and New Years come 50
close together. 1t is plain. The excuses
of Christmas put the population In the
humor of making good resolutions for
the coming year, and it is necessary that
New Years be close on hand, else they'd
backslide before the resolutions were re-
corded.-Denyer News

From the Boston Globe.
A story is going the rounds which makes a
well-known society young man and million
aires pretty daughter the principal characters
in rather laughable comedy.
The young man, who is noted for his hand
some bearing and winning voice, accompanied
the young lady to her home one Friday even
ing. and, as all true lovers do, fingered yet q
little while at the gate to have lovers tete-a-
tete with his fair companion.
The night was beautiful, no ono near to in
trude. and, above all, he loved.
Why shouldn't she kiss him?
With msidenly modesty she refused. he
implored. She still withheld from him that
which would fill his cup Of happiness.
The request was repeated several times and
SO engrossed did the young man become in
wooing that he failed to notice the approach
Of a parental step.
The old gentleman. who had been there him
self and did not dare to intrude upon the hap
piness Of the young couple, quietly stepped
behind a convenient evergreen and waited,
thinking the young man would soon leave. In
this he was mistaken.
The lover tarried over the request until the
patience Of the old gentleman was exhausted.
A voice the couple we'll knew aroused them
from their happiness in tone of impatient
anger by saying:

We found the post in a state Of great excite

cavalry and one company Of infantry. The
cavalry had taken the field at daybreak and
only the infantry company was left to protect
the post. There were dispatches from Fort
Mountain giving warning that the road was un-
safe between us and there. The commanding
officer of that post ordered that the paymaster
should be detained at Fort William, and on no
account proceed on his way. Upon this the
major Immediately began to champ his bit and
paw the earth in his anxiety to be ''up and at

during the war of the rebellion and was only
restrained from joining the forces in the field
by his responsibility for the public money.
The only officers left in Fort william were
