A Frost Hitten Nose.

A frost bitten member never entirely re-
covers. There is IL gentleman in this city
who. eleven years ago, had his nose severe
ly frozen when on Il long ride in Dakota
He did not know there was anything the
matter with his nose until he entered I;
house, and the people began to tell hin
what to do for it: then he went out an,
held it in a handful Of snow until he
thought it was sufficiently thawed cut to
be useful. But he was in too great a hurry
and did not give it snow enough, and in the
course # an hour his nose was the size of a
goose egg and as red as Il turkey gobbler's
proboscis.
Before he got it prnsentable for good so
ciety he had SO much trouble with it that
he wished he had been born with no moro
hose than a monkey. But that was only
the beginning of his tale of woe. Every
winter. with the first few cold days, his
nose turns red and swel!s. He has trie;!
everything on the nose. but that useful
organ has never forgotten the i'll treatment
it received. and reminds him of it with
every advent Of frost.-St. Louis Globe

The Rich Do Not Consider the Poor.

None do so little for the very poor o.
New York As its very rich. Efficient work
ers among the poor are at present generally
drawn from the poor themselves or from
the middle and professional class. No one
need wonder at this. Efectual charity
work and the requirements Of modern SO
ciety do not easily consort. A very small
proportion of those who possess enormous
wealth in the city subscribe literally to its
various charities; comparatively few car
be counted on for ready support in any
properly conducted and hopeful philan
thropic movement, and fewer still are found
willing to fulfil the more difficult, the more
necessary duty of gaining personal knowl
edge Of the needs and wrongs of the pooi
through personal study of their situation
and friendly intercourse with themselves.
! say such attention, such knowledge
are not likely to be given by the very rich.
To win fortune today implies a singleness

Next to the sneak thieves who infest
public libraries the worst nuisance a libra
rian has to encounter is undoubtedly the
reader with pencil. 1t is Il sight to watch
the abandon with which the individual
makes annotations or other markings upon
property which is in no sense his. The
man who would step up to another's house
and draw chalk marks on his doorstep
would be promptly held for trespass or
malicious mischief. There is very little
difference in the case of the randal who de
faces the public's books. except that a le-
nient popular sentiment permits him to
go free.
In all we'll regulated libraries nowadays.
however, alert attendants exercise keen
supervision over the reader with pencil.
The moment the pencil is lifted from its
vest pocket home the attendant edges up
and if marginal hieroglyphic is attempt
ed the offending reader is politely request
ed to desist. The second cffense draws
down less polite rebuke, and the third
time is out-that is, the malefactor is
bounced" The habit undoubtedly arises
from sheer thoughtiessness, but it is a very
annoying one. and the individual reader
who falls into it when perusing his own
books is likely to get into trouble should
he borrow from fastidious friends or visit
well regulated public libraries - Troy

Shooting d Bear.

In the History of Athens County, Ohio, -
Joseph Bobo relates ain adventure in which
his father took a leading part. He and one
of his neighbors. Il Mr.. Shidler, found a
hole in the rocks which they thought might
conceal bear Mr.. Bobo lighted torch
and started in to explore, while Shidler
stood outside ready to shoot if bruin tried
to escape.
Father went into the cave about twenty
five feet and was on the point CT giving up
the search when suddenly bear. which
had been crouching behind rock. rose up
and struck the torch with his paw. The
torch fell to the floor and WAS extinguished.
Father didn't wait for ceremony. but
got out of the cave as quickly as possible,
and told Shidler what had happened. All
remained quiet. and after waiting awhile
father lighted another torch and went in
again to shoot the bear He proceeded
cautiously, and the moment his eyes fell
on the bear he fired. but only wounded the
animal.
Bruin uttered a tremendous growl, and
father saw him coming. Quick as thought
father threw down the torch and lay flat
on his face The bear rushed for the mouth
of the cave, clawing viciously at fathers
head and body as he passed over him: but
Shidler was ready for the brute, and when
he showed himself at the hole gave him
an ounce of lead that settled him.
Fathers wounds, though not serious,
were bad enough to leave scars for the rest
of his life. The bear weighed 800 pounds.

Hours of Sleep for children and Adults.

A German specialist, DR. Cold. pleads for
giving young people more sleep. 4 healthy
infant sleeps most Of the time during the
first weeks, and in the early years people
are disposed to let Children sleep rs much
rs they Will. But from six or seven, when
school begins. there is a complete change
At the age of ten or eleven the child sleeps
only eight or nine hours when he needs al
least ten or eleven, and rs he grows older
the time of rest is shortened. DR.. Cold be
lieyes that up to twenty Il youth needs
nine hours sleep and an adult should have
eight or nine. With nsu fiicieEt sleep the
nervous system. and brain especially, not
resting enough and ceasing to work nor
mally. we find exhaustion, excitability and
intellectual disorders gradually taking the
place of love of work, general well being

DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN.


George Eichelberger was born April
IL, 1873, and died January IL, 1872 ;
aged IS years, Q months and 9 days.
The deceased was young man Of
irreproaehable character, kind in his
disposition, always ready to do a favor,
a most obedient son to his parents, de-
voted and self sacrificing to an invalid
mother. He was never strong, never
well, yet accomplishing and active in
all his duties. lie was communicate
in the Episcopal Church, had been for
year before his death, giving in his
youth his heart to God, who so claimed
the redeemed soul.
When told that death was very near,
he was completely resigned TO it and
said that this world was full Of trials
and troubles and as he was never well
he had no desire 10 live. His life was
short but it was noble one, and the
manner Of his death was an enyiable
contamination Of it. While his beauti-
full resignation reconciles us in a meas
ure to the death Of our young friend
we can but regret the deprivation to
the community Of 50 good an example.
Others might with profit follow in
his footsteps and in full manhood and
vigor, live the life Of active usefulness
denied him. But we are not the or
dainers of destiny. To Him who ere
ated we submit the creature.
BLESSED are the dead who die in

Hagerstown Cocks Win over Martinsburl
llagcrstown Hait.
The sports around Bedington were
alive yesterday all day it being the
occasion of the long expected main
between cocks Of Hagerstown and
cocks of Martinsburg. it was a fight
in which the oldest. fighters were all
agog for the combat was always doubt
full and the cocks fought with vim and
a terrible tenacity.
At "a certain hour Of the day crowd
Of men left this town and Of Martins
burg.
For those who had not the pleasure
of seeing the plucky things fight, ii
would be well to give little explana-
ton Of how they are prepared. The
handlers are the men who tend to the
cocks gaifing and cutting them. First
the men assemble around the pit which
is generally about 20 feet across. Then
after placing the gaffs on the chickens
the handlers hold them and when the
umpire gives the word the cocks are
thrown to the pit. The gaffs are long
steel weapons and as sharp as a needle,
and generally three inches long. In
fight recently in New York one
cock was GATED in the head and lost
an eye, the next lunge his wing was
broken, then another wing, then lost
both legs but tried to fight without legs
or wings.
The fights of yesterday were short,
sharp and decisive. Hagerstown win
ming three out of four. The fights as
follows
The first Hagerstown cock was q
spangle and Martinsburg threw into
the ring blue cock. At the first
jump the Hagerstown bird gated the
other bird, and at the third blow gaff-
ed it in the head winning the fight.
The second fight two red cocks were
thrown into the pit. Hagerstown won
this in a couple of blows. This was
two for Hagerstown.
The next was dominick for Hagers-
town and a black for Martinsburg.
The birds, the finest, that were thrown
in the ring had long and hard, fight
the cocks being handled three times.
Martinsburg's cock won by a thrust in
the head of the cock from Hagerstown.
The last fight was a large red bird
for Hagerstown and a big spangle
from Martinsburg. This was the
Quickest struggle of them all and both
birds showed strong fight. The first
gaff was gained by the Hagerstown
bird and the gaffs caught so that the
birds had to be pulled apart. At the
next jump the Martinsburg bird caught
it again. They were handled again
and after good deal of squirting the
Hagerstown cock with strong lear
caught the Martinsburg bird and he
was taken out of the ring dead.
This ended the fight and the money
changed hands. The money was $40
a side and $50 for the main.
This is one of the most exciting of
all the sports and one of the most cruel
and the authorities should be as wide
awake as the Daily Mail, if possible,
and carry out the law.
