For 10 minutes he could be seen following
after the boat, and during that time three
deckhands stood 10 the half-lowered boat
awaiting orders from the captain. When
they came to the man he threw UP his hands
and sank. The ferry boat was nearly half
mile away when 1t was finally stepped,
and the three men Towed 100 wards out OF
the course of where the doomed passenger
sank.
HIS black slouch hat was floating on the
water, but they returned without picking it
up Ihe drowned man evidently lived on
the east side anC was returning home
No one knows exactly how he came to
fall, but all who saw it believed it to be an
accident. The deckhands stated afterward
that they were waiting for the steamer to
stop and back up. Dligent inquiry last
night failed TO develop the victims name.

old-Fashioned Corncob pipes.

One man at MiddIetown, Del, has
just shipped to this city 1000 bushels
of corneobs, to be used in the manu-
facture of pipes. The old-fashioned
corncob pipe was not the spiek and
span pipe of the factories, glistening
with yarnish and carefully smoothed
with file. The old-tin1e pipemaker
chose a large and sound cob, as nearly
as possible cylindrical in shape, cut off
the lower three inches, and with a
sharp penknife shaved the outer sur
face down to hard, smooth face. He
then cut the bottom and top smooth,
thus considerably shortening the piece.
casefully followed the bowl, and 3
reed stem placed in small hole near
the bottom completed the pipe. Such
a pipe could be fashioned in half
hour, and it served its purpose admir-

An Orchard IdyI.

The warm sun shines down on banks of white
clover;
The honeybee laden, fits by on the wing;
Aud Jenny comes down where the peach treee
bend over,
And robin, gay regue. is beginning to sing
Blue, so blue, are the skies where the soft
clouds are swimming.
And blue, yes, as blue, are the maiden's
But alasl their fair beauty with teardrops are
While there's no hint of rain in the azure
hued skies.
The robin triIls louder his rapturous singing;
The pink blossoms drift on the breeze that
floats by;
But Jenny's heart throbs. and her thoughts
are a-winging,
As she spreads the white clothes on the clo-
yer to dry:
There is an empty nest in the apple tree hid
den;
1t will rain, for the clouds by the breezes are
hidden,
And the linen half dry .and the washing half
done
But the robin sang on. And the wind, idle
Still drifted the peach blossoms down to the
grass;
For how could they know of faithless young
And how could they read the sweet heart OF
lass?
Still on moves the day. The sun, mounting
high.
Reveals new nest in the old apple tree.
And the rays reach the vine thatseemed dead,
and they spy
A promise of hope. that the summer will see.
And Jenny, slow tripping where blosso ms
bend over,
Finds that, silly maiden, that banishes tears,
As she plucks, with SMILE the hazel-ringed
clover
That bringeth good fortune and drives away
fears.
All! Jenny, the robin, his carol still singing,
Is watching the scene, with bird-wisdom
wise,
And he notes, am sure, that the wind is
a-bringing
No hint of a shower, in the blue of the skies.
So the peach petals drift, as the bee busy
rover
Flies home at the close of the long summer
hours,
And sees blushing Jenny agreeing her lover
Where the red robin nests and the white
clover flowers.

George Stephenson.

George Stephenson, ~Old George"
as he was called to distinguish him
from his son and nephews, was a self
made man. Almost of necessity, there
fore, he was somewhat vain but his
vanity "took no small turns" The
man who was for many years his pri-
vate secretary says he hated foppery
of every kind.
"Kept closely down through the
necessity of circumstances in his own
early days, he had blind hatred of
all display in the youth of later gen
Grafton. I had been forewarned of this
and at my first interview with him
presented myself simply dressed and
with no other ornament than a small
Geneva watch of which / was very
proud and as it might be supposed to
be useful l fancied It would pass mus
ter.
"He despised it, however, nor did
his feelings change until it went
wrong; then his mpathies-with the
mechanicism, not with me-were
reused and he undertook to set it
right.
Z 4 trembled to leave the tender thing
to his mercy, but there was nothing
else to do, and he soon put it in thor
ough order. He shortened the hair
spring and made other repairs. as if
he had been bred to the trade. He
had very strong arms and large, sup
pie hands, with which, as / soon found,
he performed the most delicate opera
tions.
"He told me on returning my watch
that such fine work had always been
hobby of his. He ridiculed the dis
tinction between civil and mechanical
engineering, saying that an engineer
should know how to build bridge, di-
vert river, make a needle or Mas
myths hammer"

The rain against the windows of the
little hut and the old man listens and
worries, while his daughter-his only
child-runs wildly on toward the riv-
er, which is a good three miles distant.
She does not mind the rain. which
beats against her pale. cold face,
nor the wind that has lifted the shawl
from her head and carried it away.
But on and on she runs, STUN bling
now and then over stones Or bushes,
looking neither right nor left-only
straight ahead toward the river.
Two names were wandering through
her mind-Gerald Fillmore and John
Tracy; and with the latter foremost in
her thoughts. she runs bravely on.
At last the sound of water falls
pleasantly upon her ears-she has
reached her destination.
To her right is the bridge. Not
light guides her on, She cannot see
even the rafters which always appear
black and stately. Now she has
reached the track and follows it on un-
til her foot is upon the bridge.
The river runs noisily on below, the
rain falls heavily upon her unprotect-
ed head, the wind sighs and means
among the trees bordering the river
bank, and still not sound save the
striking of the village clock falls upon
her ears. Eleven, and the special"
is due. Over the bridge she runs.
never stopping until she has tripped
over an object lying between the
tracks. She puts out her hand and
grasps one of the broken lanterns.
A great flash of lightning illumines
the whole scene.
a young girl in the middle of the
tracks and only five feet from death
for before her the bridge is one mass
of broken timber.
The train will soon be upon her.
What can she do? No lights to tell of
the danger that awaits them, not even
the two bright lanterns to tell where
the bridge begins.
In minute she has torn the wick
from the lantern and is running wild
ly on toward the fast approaching
train. The wondrous dark eyes glar-
ing fercely into the darkness sees
nothing but the face of the man she
loves.
At last she has reached the spot
where the train slackens speed. 1t
will soon be upon her. Can she warn
it in time?
Match after match is blown out by
the wind, at last the wick is lighted,
and springing to one side she hurls it
at the cab of the engine.
A few minutes elapse; then, with
one mighty sigh of escaping air, as the
brakes are applied, the special" comes
to dead stop within forty yards of
the ruined bridge.
The danger is soon known and the
passengers run wildly about to find
and thank their preserver They find
her at last, and the engineer, bending
over her seemingly lifeless form, clasps
two badly burned hands within his
own.
After many minutes the eyes are
slowly opened, and Beatrice, looking
up into the face of the engineer, rec
ognizes-Gerald Fillmore. IT'S many
weeks before she again recognizes him,
and when she does it is to learn that
she no longer hates the engineer whose
life she saved by mistakes, but is ready
to love and look up to him with a
wife's devotion.

Raising Dogs for Their Skins.

Dog farming is not unknown in civ
ilized countries, though the dogs there
are bred for petting and hunting. In
the extreme north of China they are
bred for their skins In Mandchoury
the skins are very beautiful; the hair
is long, thick and silky and of re-
markably fine texture. This is ex-
planned by the climate of the Mand-
choury, which is exceedingly cold and
the dogs must of necessity be protect
ed by thick, heavy fur Connoisseurs
declare that finer skins of this kind
have never been. found. The animals
are killed by strangulation in the win
ter, because at that time the hair is
longest and thickest. but none are
killed that are not months old.
The price paid for this fur is ridicu-
louslv small. A large mantle measur-
ing about 120 inches is sold for s.. so.
About eight skins are needed to make
such a mantle. The skins must not
only be assorted and matched in color
and quality but the mantle be made
as well. certainly a curious industry
that deals with profits which seem to
US abnormally small. 1t would GER
tainly be a novelty in America to see
parlor rug of dogskins-for instance,
a eenterpiece of big yaller stray dog, y
surrounded by patterns shading off in
gray, black-and-tan and spitz, the
whole finished with a variegated bor-
der of assorted puppies.

HOW TO cow A MAsHER.
Glare at Him Through a Pair of Lorg-
nette Glasses and See Him wilt.

He was a masher, and when the
swell girl got into the street car he
spotted her and began his operations.
He looked at her in evident admiration
and in minute or two had added half
smile. Soon he made this full smile,
quite tender and fetching and wholly
innocent and sweet. Then he gazed a
while fondly and with far-away you
will-lose- -me-if-yo -you-don't-catch-on ex-
preston, and the girl became nervous.
She tried to conceal her consciousness,
but, the Detroit Free Press man says,
it grew into Embarrassment, and at
last sr3 was about to leave the car
when the lorgnettes she carried in her
belt came to her rescue She took
them out, opened them, brushed them
with dainty handkerchief, set them
on her naughty nose, and turned upon
her enemy. He smiled as before, but
only once. The steely stare of those
insatiate lorgnettes had fastened itself
upon him. There was no response in
them to his wiles. They were cold,
cruel, tyrannical. invincible, irresist-
ible.
He squirmed under their basilisk
glassiness and looked out of the win
dow. But they followed him.
They crept over his helpless feet,
which seemed to him to extend clear
across the car; they followed slowly
up the faint gray line of his trousers;
they spread out over his cheerful-hued
vest; they grasped the lapels of his
coat and withered the rose in his but
ton-hole; they dallied with his new 75-
cent cravat; they moved triumphantly
around his collar; they dappled their
claws in his mustache; they tweaked
his nose; they chilled his eyes; they
rumpled his hair; they marched in
dreadful monotony around his hat and
then they went slowly to his feet and
began their awful work over again.
But human endurance has its limit,
aud as the torturing lorgnettes, with
the pretty girls eyes behind them.
came to his once more he made wild,
| impulsive dive for the rear platform,
and with one Mortified look over his
shoulder, only to see them calm and
cruel as ever he dashed from the car
and was lost in the crowd. Then the
girl smiled softly and stuck them in
| her belt again.
