Having Some Fun.

Two newsboys engaged in stilted con-
troversy recently in front Of the custom
house, such a controversy as can only be
carried on by newsboys. 1t had reached
the stage of personal reflections and one
said: "You amt no more count N 'er yal-
Ter dorg, no how. You couldn't sell Ter
paper to 'sr man eff you'd give it TO him"
"You'se a-lyin and You'se knows 1t. Kin
sell more papers in an hour N what you
kin in six weeks, en- lick you besides,
said the other and much smaller one. The
next minute they were mingled mass OF
legs and arms and heads and mouths and
noise, and were raising dust enough to
cause a sprinkling wagon to be sent around
on the double quick.
While they were thus engaged a comely
looking young woman came tripping along
holding her skirts deity In one hand See
ing the big boy just then give the little
one a loft handler in the jaw, she went into
the scrap herself and grabbing that boy
she shook him until his bones ratified and
his eyes were almost bullying out Of his
head. Finally, dropping him on the pave
ment, she said: Now reckon you will let
that little boy alone. You ought TO be
ashamed Of yourself, you big, cowardly
scamp, you" The boy surveyed himself,
and as the young woman started up the
street said, "You wanted somebody to look
at you mighty bad, didn't your She
looked at him as if she would have liked to
kill him, but she did not-she went on.
"Some wimmen is mighty scrimpshus
about two kids havin a little fun" was his
comment to the crowd as he went in quest
Of the other boy, who had escaped in the
melee.-St. Louis Republic.

A Child without a Name.

A certain married pair, each blessed with
a strength Of will that some would call
obstinacy. found themselves the happy
parents about a year ago of beautiful
baby boy. In due time christening was
decided upon, but, alas, it was impossible
to agree upon the name. The mother was
anxious to call the boy Percy, while the
father favored plain John Neither would
yield nor permit double name, and after a
spirited discussion at the last moment with
no result, the clergyman, who was an old
friend of the family, began the service.
When the place was reached where the
name should be repeated, instead, the min
lister went on, "Child Of the covenant, l
baptize thee" etc. The baby is still name
less except to a wide circle of relatives,
who call him "Coyey. "-Her Point oil

Tycho Brahe's star of 1872 made its APP
pearance near the star Kappa Cassiopei@.
the faintest OF the four stars forming the
well known square in Cassiopeia's chair.
1t appears TO have been first noticed by
Cornelius Comma, on Nov. of that year,
and it seems to have blazed out very sud
denly, as he states that it was not visible
on the preceding evening in a clear sky.
The attention Of Tycho Brahe, whose name
is generally associated with the star, seems
10 have been first attracted to it on Nov.
II. When first seen it surpassed Jupiter
and rivaled Venus in brightness, and was
visible al noondayi
At this brilliancy, however, it did not
long remain, but gradually diminished in
luster, and in March, 1874, had completely
disappeared, at least 10 the naked eye. It's
curious changes are thus described: AS IL
decreased in size so it varied in color; at
first It's light was white and extremely
bright; it then became yellowish, after
ward Of a ruddy color, and finished with
male livid color."-J. Ellard Gore in Popu-
