cross. The spectators rushed wildly to
and fro, and others joined the group.
but not one of them dared to go to-
the rescue of the hslpless man.
Karl grew calmer in a few moments,
and as he gazed down upon the men
and women SO fan beneath him that
they looked like pigmies he could think
of only one who was capable Of saving
him.
"Brownie!' he shouted at the top Of
his lungs. Tell Brownie to comer'
1t was soon learned that she was ten
miles away, when the feetest horse in
Cavendish was harnessed, and its owner
started post haste for Little Brownie.
1t was already growing dark, and it
must be nearly two hours before
Brownie could be brought to the place.
Could Karl bear up for that length OF
time? 1t was not unusual for steeple-
jacks, even after years of experience,
to suddenly lose their presence of mind,
become dizzy and fall from their lofty
perch.
Realizing his situation, it was q fear
full ordeal for Karl, but by clinging to
the cross he managed to keep his posi-
ton, while he waited impatiently for
the Loped-for rescue.
Fortunately the night was not very
dark, for full moon lighted the earth
with its mellow rays, SO Karl, looking
like mere speck in the distance, could
be seen by the anxious watchers. Near
ly two hundred people had collected
about the place before Little Brownie
arrived, and Mrs. Bruins was nearly
wild with grief.
| Without showing any hesitation in
attempting her hazardous undertaking,
Little Brownie, with coil of rope
upon her slender arm, assembled the
tower. Then up she climbed to the up
permost loophole, and the watchers
saw her step boldly upon the scaffold.
Karl's hope rose and as she assembled
the ladder to the topmost rung, he be-
gan to devise some way for her to get
the rope up to him. just then his eyes
fell on her hood, lying yet at the foot
of the cross.
Shouting to Brownie to keep quiet a
moment he tore the hood into strips
and fastening them together let one
end of the line down to her. To this
she soon secured the rope, when her
father drew it up within his reach, and
speedily fastened it to the cross secure
ly. He then easily descended over the
rotundity of the ball, and a minute
later he and Brownie stood ON the
scaffold, comparatively safe.
A wild cheer went up from the
crowd. and when father and daughter
gained their midst it grew into deep
ching applause. Little Brownie was
not conscious that she had performed a
remarkable feat, and she seemed sur
prised at the outburst Of the crowd
Her fathers emotion was too great
for utterance, and while he pressed
her to his bosom his tears fell upon her
cheeks like rain. His life had been
saved by Little Brownies heroism, but
the ordeal told so upon his nerves that
his career was ended as a steeple-jacls
and he sought a less dangerous occupa'
tion.-G. Waldo Browne. in Yankee

IT has been steadily apparent during
the last few days of the debate on the
fres wool bill, that a vote could not be
taken upon it as early as the 21st inst,
as was the original purpose, without
preventing numerous members deliver
ing speeches which have been carefully
prepared, so the majority of the COM
mittee on ways and means have de-
cided not to press vote upon the bill,
which will be temporarily laid aside
when the silver bill is taken up next
week. The free wool bill will" again
have the right of way as soon as the
silver bill is disposed of, AMI it is now
hoped and expected that Mr. Springer
will be well enough to deliver the
closing speech on it. He has devoted
much time to acquiring knowledge on
the subject.

description in Theodore Child's new
book of little Chilean town on the
TANKS of the Andes, of only $500 in

trellised vines, aviaries, canalized

and imitation marble statues around it.
Near at hand, in the public square, an

in opposition to the prevailing views on
the subject. He said that he is con-
WINGED that the dangers from the use of
milk and meat of cattle affected by
tuberculosis are much overdrawn. Ex-
periments were made on some guinea
pigs which were inoculated in the an
terror chamber of the eye with samples
of milk, but after eight weeks no tuber-
eli bacilli were discovered. DIR Formal
also made an examination of the meat
of cattle affected with the disease, but

A BOSTON manufacturing clothiers' firm
has opened an establishment where the
destitute Jews who have been bounded
out of Russia and dumped on our shores
are TO be employed. The goods made
will be of the cheapest kind, such as are
produced in the New York sweating
shops for sale in other cities. The en-
terprise has a humanitarian as well as a
business side, for the workers need only
be willing to receive employment; they
will be taught to cut the cloth and sew
1t into garments. When they show
themselves proficient, they are to give
way to their fellows who are untaught
and have no means of subsistence. An-
plicants for work must come recon-
mended by the Russion Refugee society.
The plan does not find favor with the
United Garment workers, who say that
the labor market of Boston is already
over crowded, and that strikes are con-
stantly taking place. They think that
il the army Of the unemployed is in
creased every few weeks by the addi-
ton of 200 or 300 men and women
graduated from a new school Of cutting
etc, ct is only a question of time before

any other class of government en-
ployes. Postmaster General Wa
namaker has several times recon-
mended a system of payments to
the widows or minor children of
these hard worked public servants
who may meet death in the liz of
ducy, the money for that purpose
to be taken from the funds arising
from the fines of negligent clerks.
The matter has received some at

practical result. There can be no
sound objection to the recommend
alton of postmaster general and

The souvenir coins which are
now beginning to find their way
to the public, will no doubt be
cherished by those fortunate
enough to secure them and handed
down to posterity as precious
heirlooms. These coins not only
recall the greatest exposition held
thus far in the worlds history, but
commemorate the only time a
democratic congress has been able
to save S2,5OO,O0O from the river
and harbor robbers of the South
to spend on a great national enter
prise. The coins ought to be
good investment fer people fond
of speculation. There is not
much prospect that the democrats
will ever allow anything Of this
kind to happen again.-Journal.

The slender woman's greatest mis-
take is in having her clothes too loose,
believing that in this way she hides the
angles. In reality her bodice should
be fitted perfectly, padding used if
necessary, and reliance placed upon
the trimming to give apparent size
The lace epaulettes, either on bodice
or wrap, will add to her breadth and
make her look more rounded, while
the lace has an equally good result.
She can wear a short coat, double
breasted and with haring revers of fur
or velvet. Indeed, it may be said of
her that everything impossible to her
stout sister is permissible for her. A
snugly fitted bonnet will be found most
becoming, and about her throat she
can have either high, stiff collar of
white linen, or the full, fluffy fur or
feather boa.
