One result of the wal between the Ma

and the Amateur Athletic Union was a
general boom for athletic sport all over
the country. This declined somewhat
last year. and thus far 1892 has been O
most unfortunate year.. The impression
prevails that the sport will stagnate for
q year or two, to be then revived by an
other boom.

The Annotating Fiend.

Next to the sneak thieves who infest
public libraries the worst nuisance a libra
rian has to encounter is undoubtedly the
reader with a pencil. 1t is a 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 vandal 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 a pencil.
The moment the pencil is lifted from it's
vest pocket home the attendant edges up,
and if a marginal hieroglyphic is attempt
ed the offending reader is politely request
ed to desist. The second offense draws
down a less polite rebuke, and the third
time is out-that is, the malefactor is
bounced" The habit undoubtedly arises
from sheer thoughtlessness, 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

A Frost Bitten Nose.

A frost bitten member never entirely re-
covers. There is a gentleman in this city
who, eleven years ago, had his nose severe
ly frozen when ON a long ride in Dakota.
He did not know there was anything the
matter with his nose until he entered a
house, and the people began to tell him
what to do for it; then he went out and
held it in a handful Of now until he
thought it was sufficiently thawed out to
be useful. But he was in too great a hurry
and did not give it nov enough, and inthe
course # an hour his nose was the size of a
goose egg and as red as a turkey gobbler's
proboscis.
Before he got it p~resentable for good so
ciety he had so much trouble with it that
he wished he had been born with nc more
nose than a monkey. But that was only
the beginning of his tale of woe. Every

Position During Sleep.

Man is when standing erect the only ami
NAL that has the thigh in line with the
axis of the vertebral column, and among
his nearest congeners in the animal world
the hexed state of the femoral articulation
is natural and constant. AS we go down
the scale the angle between the thighs
and trunk diminishes until it reaches the
right angle characteristic of most quad
rupeds.
/ speak here of the attitude adopted
when the animal is at rest upon its legs,
for during sleep there is in many cases a
curious reversion to the position occupied
in embryonic life. Thus we see that a bird
roosting with its head under it's wing
and the legs drawn up close to the body
offers a decided resemblance to the chick
in the egg.
/ lave noticed that young children, when
old enough to shift their limbs, very sell
dom sleep in any but the curled up posi-
ton, and that as often as not, when un-
hampered by clothing or other artificial
restraints, they sleep in the same attitude
as do many quadrupeds-viz., with the alb
domen downward and the limbs fexed
beneath them. l am told that negro moth.
ers and nurses in the West Indies invari.
ably lay their charges down to sleep on
their stomachs, and that this custom is
also common in various parts of the world.

The Rich Do Not Consider the Poor.

None do SO little for the very poor OF
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. Effectual 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 can
be counted on for a 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 poor
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
of purpose, a concentration of all the fac
ulties of the man to the doing of one thing.
The very rich man must be a very busy
man if he would make large sums or keep
large sums of money.-Dr. w. S. Rains
ford in Harper's Weekly.

Killing a Bull without a Weapon.

Cayetano, the famous Spanish torero,
once was strolling across a meadow with a
couple of friends when their attention was
attracted by an old and Infatuated bull
which was galloping toward them with
lowered head n erect tail. Cayetano had
no weapon, not even a cane, but he seized a
dustcoat which one of his friends was car.
rying over his arm. AS soon as the bull
got close to them, Cayetano babe his COM
panions make their escape while he en-.
gagged the animals attention. Using the
coat as a capa, he drove the bull crazy with
fury, stepping aside with the deftest agility
at each of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn sharply
in the midst of it's onward rushes, until
finally an ominous crack was heard and
the bull fell in a heap, with its backbone
broken by the sudden wrench given by the
animals abrupt swerve.-San Francisco

USED THEM IN HIS BLOW.GUN.

Doctor-"Well, my fine little fellow,
you have got quite well again. I was
sure the pills / left for you would cure
you. How did you take them, in water
or in cake?"
Boy-"Oh, I used them in my blow
gun"
The little fellow put the nasty, great,
gripping, old-fashioned pills to a good use.
At most, all his internal economy need
ed was a dose of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are tiny, sugar. coated
granules, easy to take, and are gently
aperient, or actively cathartic, according
to size of dose. AS a laxative, only one
tiny Pellet is required.
The "Pellets" cure Sick Headache,
Bilious Headache, Constipation, 1ndi-
gestion, Bilious Attacks, and all de-
rangements of the Liver, Stomach and
Bowels. 80,
The "Pellets" are purely vegetable,
and operate without disturbance to the
system, diet, or occupation.

KING DAVID.

Thou shepherd king, not of the lotus land,
But, as a flame the sacrifice along,
Leaping anointed on Philistia's wrong
From Judah's woe. Thou mighty of soul and

Leaving the sheepfold's vigil to command
Thy fiocks of men and, in Jehovah strong,
To temples of the ages by thy song
Marshaling singers from his heavenly band;
We hail thee glorious, but we behold
With vassal joy a strife amid thy breast
Beyond the wars of kings, the manifold
Yearnings and throes of a great hearts I'M

Seeking the lovely with desire untold
Incarnate or through regions of the blest.

Shooting q Bear.


In the History of Athens County, Ohio"
Joseph Bobo relates an adventure in which
his father took a leading part. He and one
of his neighbors, a Mr.. Shidler, found a
hole in the rocks which they thought might
conceal a bear. Mr.. Bobo lighted a 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 of giving up
the search when suddenly a bear, which
had been crouching behind a 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 fat
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.

True Pathos.

Four long years had Jack, the sailor,
been away, and his ship was reported
'lost, with all on board" The news
seemed to pile years on his fathers bent
shoulders; his mothers smile faded out
and wrinkles scanned her cheeks. One
summer day, however, as the two came
slowly out of church with their pretty
daughters-all three scarcely balancing
the loss of the one dear soma shabby,
bronzed and handsome fellow rushed up to
the group and took his mother in his arms.

managed to get possession Of one brown.

"Come, mother, give us a chancei" cried
the girls in chorus, and by this time the
entire congregation had surrounded the
wanderer and claimed his greeting.
But you were drowned, Jackr" ex-
claimed the youngest sister, and Jack
laughed as he explained:
mo, only partly. Two of US floated for
days, reached an island in the Pacific, fell
In with friendly savages, and then
waited for a ship. Got my belt full of
money, father, but couldn't wait to buy a
rag of decent clothes"
Then the minister said solemnly, "Let us
pray" and there under the trees with un-
covered head, he offered thanks for the
wanderers return. When he had finished
every one was softly weeping, and not a
soul dreamed that the tragic joy Of the oc-
casion could be turned into mirth. Sud-
denly Jacks mother, wrought up beyond
endurance, opened her lips and spoke.
