Iadiscriminate Giving.

It is all very well to preach against in
discriminate charity, and to those who
are inclined to benevolence the lesson is
most valuable. There is too much care
less giving, for charity no doubt often
breeds mendicancy, and if there is to be
giving it ought to be thoughtful. to the
end that it may do good and isot evil
Besides the charitably disposed. how
ever, are those who are careless of the
misfortunes Of their neighbors and
those whose seilshness is rarely tempt
ed to make a sacrifice for the happiness
of their kind.
When such as these do a charity they
are the important beneficiaries, and it is
to them that the divine precept concern
ing the blessedness of giving applies. 1t
matters little whether these give with
discrimination or discrimination; their
gifts are so few that they cannot work
much harm. If the encouragement Of
begging depended on the occasionally
and systematically generous, the trade
would assuredly die out. 1t is well not
to preach the cold truth to them, for
they need little enough excuse for but
toning up their pockets. Let them open
their hearts when they will, thoughtless-
ly or not, as it may chance. What good
is done by them will be chiefly to them
selves, and they will always, for a time
at least, be the better for their improved
opportunities .-Harper's Weekly.

Women and Dogs, Etc.

In the late Montagu Williams book,
"Around London" there is a striking
testimony to the truth of an old saying
concerning women. ''If any one," said
Mr.. Williams. has doubts as to the
b%rutalities practiced on women by men,
let him visit the London hospital on a
Saturday night. Very terrible sights
will meet his eye. Sometimes as many
as twelve or fourteen women may be
seen seated in the receiving room wait
ing for their bruised and bleeding faces
and bodies to be attended to. In nine
cases out of ten the injuries have been
inflicted by brutal husbands. The nurses
tell me, however, that any remarks they
may make rejecting on the aggressors
are received with great indignation by
the wretched sufferers. They positively
will not hear a single word against the
cowardly ruflians.
Sometimes, said a nurse to me,
when | have told a woman that her hus-
band is a brute, she has drawn herself
up and replied: You mind your own
business, miss. We find the rates and
taxes, and the likes Of you are paid out
of 'em to wait on u.s."

Of the first lesson given to the royal
children Mr.. Hart says that when the
professor (Sir Richard Owen) first ar
rived at Windsor castle he inquired
where he should hang up his diagrams,
as these lectures were to be given in the
white drawing room, the walls of which
were covered with white satin. The an
swer was that he was to do exactly as he
pleased. The gentleman in waiting was
therefore of opinion that he should pin
the drawings upon the white satin hang
ings, but this the professor declined to
do, and %thereupon requested to be led to
the laundry of the castle, to the blank
amazement Of the official. When he ar
rived there he picked out the largest
clotheshorse he could find, and. having
procured some green baize, rugged up an
impromptu stand, which showed off his
diagrams to the best advantage.-Lon-

And He Got 1t Cheap.

after Russell Sage had his ''close call:""A
wild eyed man, with his hair somewhat
tumbled, entered our store. and walking
upto n of the statesmen held a can out
at arms length and said, 4 want a quart

salesman eyed his visitor sharply and
then said %nervously: Yves, sir. wyatt

ran into my Office and cried out excited

The wild eyed man was still standing in
the center of the store holding out the
can when l came Out. What is it you
want. my friend?' said | very %nervously.

People Who Use the Telephone.

philadelphia" said DR.. Plush, of the
Bell company, runs higher than any
other city in the number of its telephone
calls. The service is increasing with
each year, and with each year is arriv-
ing nearer and nearer perfection. Up
to the present year we were frequently
put to considerable trouble and expense
in repairing our lines after stormy
weather. Now, however, it is different.
We began to put our lines under ground
in October, 1891, and have almost COM
pleted the work. Storms and high winds
can do us but little harm now. No, we
keep no record Of the number and vari-
ETY. of swear words uttered by impatient
subscribers, but l can safely say that
they are fewer now than i'll former
years."-Philadelphia Record.

Few telegraphers are better known in
New York than George Mudgett. of the
postal Office, and there are fewer still
who have a better fund of stories. He
tells of a certain horse who accompanies
a Scranton (Pa.) lineman on his trips.
This horse can see a broken insulator
quicker than his rider, and always stops
when one is reached. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that the horse can telegraph
with his feet, but no one knows what
he signs The same lineman owns q
dog who can tell by the bell attached to
the district messenger register when O
certain firm rings a call. The dog at
once runs to the store. takes the message
in his mouth and delivers it safely at
the telegraph Office. George Mudgett
says he never invents yarns.-New York

Notes About Alligators.

There is nothing that a gator likes bet
ter than fresh pork. and he will toddle
three miles from water for a Florida
razorback. In cool weather he buries
himself in mud and becomes dormant
until it grows warm. Hunters still make
a living by killing him for his hide and
teeth. The killing of alligators from the
decks of river steamers in Florida has
been stopped by law. Tourists became
very careless in their use of firearms, and
would endanger the lives of passengers
in their haste to get a shot before the
boat got by Il plump saurian. Yet it is
remarkable that only one person, a
woman, was ever wounded in these
reckless fusillades. New York Sun.

Women Carry Dangers.

A prominent jeweler says that he sells
a number Of daggers annually to women.
These are not ornaments, but serious
weapons. They are just large enough
to slip easily inside a woman's gown.
Some women have these made to order,
when they are lavishly adorned and in
crusted with precious stones. They are
frequently carried in travelling, when
they are intended as weapons of defense.
They are preferred to revolvers, which
are likely to go off summarily and IN the
