a Singular Reunion.

A romantic story in which young
lady who has been living near Blackjack,
Indiana county, is a prominent charac-
ter comes from Curwensville, Clearfeld
county. In the spring of 1870 Isaiah
Mcdonald of Champion Hills, Clearfeld
county, married young lady from
Michigan. After few short months of
welded life the young man got into
trouble. A separation followed, and the
young wife returned to her western
home.
A short time afterward daughter
was born. The mothers death followed
swiftly on this event, and the child was
taken in charge by its grandparents. It
was years before the father knew he had
q daughter. After discovering it he
spent a great deal of money in fruitless
endeavor to locate her.
About the beginning of last March the
daughter, now q young lady of 90 years.
learned of her fathers residence. She
wrote to him, giving her address as
Blacklick, Indiana county. The father
was overwhelmed with joy and wrote
giving undeniable proofs OF his relation
ship.
Arrangements were made for meet
ing. Father and daughter met at Cur
wensville, and an affecting scene fol
lowed. They are now living together at
Champion. The girl is described as fine
looking. She has been reared tenderly
and possesses good education. Indiana

natural buoyancy which his opponents
called audadity, but which seldom failed
to jerk him over dangerous rut in the
road, not always without splash, but
generally without harm.
One crisis in his ministerial life illus
trates the absolute good humor which
may prevail even when political enmity
is at its worst. Lord Derby, the father
of the present earl. had made an attack
upon him in tho upper house with such
energy and eloquence that the odds
against him seemed overwhelming. But
he defended himself and his policy from
the dusk of one day to the dawn Of an
other with such tact, dexterity and force
of appeal to the national sense of honor
that he was acquitted of all blame by a
majority of fourscore.
Next day, in passing through the cor

his hand, and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also

Stealing ut the worlds Fair,

in telling of the great fair, "that claims
aggregating almost s7o0,o00 have been
filed with that body by exhibitors for
property stolen. This is enormous. Dur
ing the Paris exposition the entire
amount Of claims was only $175, 900
one-fourth of the amount Of those at
Chicago, and the fair has been open only
one month. There is undou btedly an
organized gang. Why, they carried
away from the French exhibit bronze
clock that weighed $50 pounds that had
required four men to unload it. How

Marriage and the Jokers.

1t illustrates the degree of personal
freedom that Americans enjoy that none
of our comic papers has ever been en-
ioined from the constant publication of
Jokes in derogation of the married state.
One of the humorous contemporaries in
particular, which rarely NEEDLES with
politics and is easily the leader Of the
Journals of its class, apl ies itself from
January to December to illustration ofits
apparent belief that courtship is always
mercenary and matrimony a state OF
uneasy bondage The theory has been
advanced that this journal kept in its
pay poor young man in love to make
evil speeches about all luckier men who
can afford to wed and one or two vic
tins of matrimonial mischance to think
up sharp things about marriage. 1t is
ascertained, however, that that theory
does the said contemporary injustice.
The truth is that, as happy nations
have no history worth mentioning, happy
marriages and smooth and felicitous
courtships are comparatively barren of
marketable jokes. The jokers take
gloomy views of human affection before
and after marriage, not because they are
against the institution or are personally
embittered against either sex, but be-
cause the jokes come easier that way.
ANY one who doubts this explanation is
invited to be convinced by the simple
process of taking suitable picture from
one of the humorous papers and devising
new Jokes to fit it. IF the jokes do not
come easier and better on the hypothesis
of conjugal disagreement than of mere
conjugal affection, this explanation is a
fault.-Harper's Weekly.

An Underground trolley system.


An underground trolley system, the
invention of Malone Wheles of Tennes-
see, is being tested on three-quarter
mile section in Washington. Briefly
described, the road is laid with 40
pound I rails, yokes Of 1870 pounds
each and 40-pound slot rails. The con-
duit, midway between the rails, is 16
inches deep by II inches wide, and in
side is loose wire ON insulated brack-
cts. This wire is cut in zoo feet lengths
and carries current only when the car
Is moving over one particular section.
The copper feeding cable is laid parallel
to the trolley wire. Without going into
details, the car is fitted with two ordina-
ry 20-horsepower motors, and pair of
trolley wheels passing through the slot
connects the motors with the trolley
cable.
In each 200.foot section is an iron
switch box containing an electro mag
net, and as the cars enter section
storage battery of several cells on the
car vitalizes the magnet and lifts an iron
armature and connects the trolley and
the feed cables, and thus supplies power
to the motors, while the main line cur
rent cuts out the local battery. On
reaching the next section the current is
again automatically switched on and is
also cut off from the rear section. When
the car stops, the current is instantly re-
leased from the trolley wire, and the
same is the case when going down hill.
The car can travel in either direction by
turning a reversing switch. The cost
for a single track is said to be $50, cooper
mile.-Engineering News.

ing, cat, attracted by the prospect Of
getting bite, approached the boy. The
little fellow, seeing his opportunity, made
q sketch of the animal. When the boy
looked at the cat it stood squarely In
front of him, SO that its hind legs were
concealed by the fore legs, and its tail
appeared to be directly over the middle
of it's head.
The boy drew the cats picture as it
actually looked to him in the position in
which he saw it and not as he knew the
animal looked in some other position.
The learned author of the book de-
duces from this a belief that the boy
could and would learn to draw because
he tried to draw things just as he saw
them.
The second engraving is o copy of a
sketch sent to this department by lit
tie girl. 1t simply shows that the child,
when she undertook to sketch her ia
theirs house, drew what she knew was
there and not what she saw. She knew
that there were two ends to the house,
so she drew them. Of course no one can
see side and two ends of solid square
prism at the same time.

APostmaster Xyith a sure Job.

"Few die and none resign" holds true
of certain postofiice in York county.
The office pays salary of only $36 a
year, and the man who holds it has been
postmaster for quarter of century.
He has tried number of times to resign,
but the village folk have every time pre-
vailed on him to retain the Office. No
body else in town wants it, and the
neighbors have become so used to calling
at his house for their letters that they
cannot bear the thought of having a
change. This postmaster can hardly be
called an offensive partisan.-Lewiston
