Very little remains of the London

what does that matter? The trans

in which Mr.. Pickwick lived, the

Mr.. Samuel Weller's extensive and
peculiar knowledge of London in SO
remarkable degree, the Old Curl

of it. Why should he not be graft

is not clearly known serves to pre-

lot of old stoves and things into a
fire, and empty the molten stream
into hole in the sand. and the men
all yell, and it's awfully dirty and
smoky And then. you pour it out
and let it cool and pound it.; and then
you put it in thing that goes round,
and try so break il; then you screw
it to thing tnatygoes back and forth,
that you can ride on, and that scrapes
it and it squeaks; then you put it in
thing that turns it round, and you take
a chisel and cut it; then you put it in
a thing that bores holes in it. Then
you screw it together and paint it,
and put steam in it, and it goes aw-
fully; and they take it up in the
drafting room and draw picture of
it, and make one of wood just like it,
And Oh, l forgot--they have to make
boiler. One man gets inside and
one gets outside and they pound just
terribly; and then they tie it to the

Annoying Corrections.

household wisdom is to refrain from

By PrOx.-,

Nowadays, when a man desires to
rush into print, the fact that he lacks
the time. and perhaps the ability, to
produce readable matter need not
stand in his way il he has we'll
lined purse. He simply EMPLOYS other
men to write tor him, paying so
much page. am acquainted with
distinguished lawyer who chooses
TO have literary reputation. He
thinks it helps him in his profession
and presumably his vanity is gratited
by it. At all events he employs i
newspaper man of ability. with whom
he is on confidential terms, to write
articles regularly for him. They are
mostly on topic, which have some
reference to law. The lawyer signs
his name to them and the journalist
receives his pay. This il advanta-
geous to both. because the lawyers
reputation makes the article fetch
double or even treble what the news
paper man could sell them for as his
own. This thing is extensively
practiced. Prominent men who have
not leisure for writing permit them
selves to abe sinterviewed, and the
ideas they express are neatly put to-
gether by the reporter in the shape
of an essay. They read over what
has been written and correct it, sign
ing their names at the end. Clergy
men are no longer obliged to write
their own sermons. They can buy
them at an extremely low rate, and
good ones, too. One frequently sees
advertisements in the newspapers Of
fering homiletic discourses at prices
to suit the most impoverished par
son. 1t is one development of what
is going to be an important industry
the business of writing by proxy.

A BRAVE YANKEE GIRL.
She Drives = Stage, and No Footpad Can
Hold Her Tn.

She Drives = Stage, and No Footpad Can
Hold Her Up.
Ellen Stewart of Yarrow Valley,
Conn.,, has been stage driver for
three years or more. and her route IS
over twenty miles of very rough and
lonesome country. She has had adj
ventures, of course, since she has
been at the work, and more or less
serious accidents from washed out
roads and snow drifts, but she has
kept right on, driving every day in
the year but Sundays, and the bust
ness in the route has increased con-
slderably since she has had charge of
IT, She came very near being frozen
to death one night last winter, when
she was stalled in snow drift lana
found it impossible to dig her way
out, but some farmers rescued her,
and in a few days she was on the box
again.
Miss Stewart has also had some
trouble from tramps. One night in
the spring one OF them attempted to
''hold up the stage. 1t was a bright
moonlight night and Ellen was late.
In lonely part of the road where
heavy forests flanked it on either side
man suddenly stepped from behind
tree and. catching the horses By the
bits stopped them.

manded the fellow gruifly
Miss Stewart always carried re-.
volver in Il convenient pocket, and in
the wink Of a cats eye she had the
muzzle or it sluarely on the tramps
head.
'Get up on that rear horse" was
the reply that the highwayman got
to his order. The man didn't move.
'Vet up there, or I'll shoot YOU"
coollv said the girl. The tramp came
to the conclu ion that he had better
obey orders and scrambled on to the
back of the horse.
"Now, sit still till we get to the
postoffice or you'll be sorry" said the
girl, who kepU the man under cover
or the revolver. In three-quarters of
an hour Miss Stewart drove up to the
postof1ice with her prisoner and called
Tor some one to come out and take
the fellow in charge. There was q
crowd of husky Young farmers in the
office, and in ten minutes the would.

biliJy OF escape.
He was tried for attempting to rob
the mail, and is now within the walls
OF the penitentiary. For this piece
OF work Miss Stewart received purse
of 800 contributed by the farmers
along the route.

Big Enough.

A correspondent of the Green BAY
says that man was brought to trial
in New York State about fifteen years
ago on charge of burglary. The
evidence went to show that he had
entered the dwelling in question
through certain cellar window, and
the case seemed to be going against
him till his lawyer brought into court
the frame of the window. Actual
measurement showed that its dimen-
sions were nine by thirteen inches,
and the prisoner, as any one could
see, WIS man Of nearly the average
size.
This sensational bit of evidence, it
was plain, produced an immediate
impression upon the court and the
jury, and the defendants counsel at
once asked the Judge to order YER
dict of acQuittal, on the ground that
it was physically impossible that the
accused could have committed the
burglary in the manner alleged.
The court asked the district at.
torney ii he was prepared to main
tain that entrance had been effected
in any other way than through the
window in question. The attorney
answered in the negative, and the
Judge seemed on the point Of doing
as the lawyer for the defence had re-
quested.
At that moment the district at
torney rose, and in a commanding
voice told the prisoner to stand up
The prisoner Obeyed.
''HOld up your right hand as high
as you can REACH" said the district
attorney. 1t was done.
''Put your left hand down by your
side" That was done.
Then, while every one was wonder
ing what the unusual proceeding
meant. the district attorney seized
the window-frame, threw it over the
prisoners uplifted arm, and with a
sudden jerk brought it clean over the
shoulders; then, with both hands, he
pulled it down over the mans body,
taxing off button or two and calling
out an exclamation of pain or anger.
The next instant the frame lay about
the prisoners feet unbrOken.
The court declined to order an ac-
quittal, and in due course the jury
brought in verdict of guilty.

Nerve of a Wounded Miner.


An accident so peculiar that

to the attention of DR.. WAGNER of
Bridgeport, few days ago. Thomas
Lowry. miner was working entirely
alone IN a coal mine owned by Clark
Patterson. out the National pike a
short distance. A large ledge OF
soapstone fell on Mr.. Lowry, break
ing his thigh and bruising his body
most painfully in many places. The
stone falling upon him put out his
light, leaving him far in the mine in
darkness He could not reach the
matches to relight his lamp, but
after painful, Intellectual efforts the
wounded man finally got hold of his
drill, which lay at some distance,
and pried the heavy stone from his
broken limb The coal cart was some
distance away. but he succeeded in
lifting his broken leg into it, and with
his well limb guided the car to the
mouth OF the bank, where he called
for help. d.. Wagner, who dressed
the injuries, says he has seldom known

Prehistoric Diamond Drills.

During a residence OF two wears

Flinders Petrie collected evidence

the jeweled cutting edges, as is the
modern custom He has given hi;
reasons for coming to these conclu.
SlOns and proves in a very satisfac-
tory manner that the pyramid build.
ers used solid and tubular drills.
straight and circular saws. and many
other supposed modern tools IN erect
ing that greatest of buildings. He
also showed that their lathe tools
were set with jewels and that they
did work with them that would puZ-
zle the modern. artisans. In one
place he found where the lines Of
cutting on granite core made by
tubular drill, form a uniform depth
throughout, showing that the cut
ting point was not worn as the work
advanced. The regular taper of the
core would also go to prove that the
drill was set with jewels on the in
side and on the outside alike, thereby
facilitating its removal In some
specimens of granite he found that
the drill had sunk lilo of an inch at
each revolution, the pre- sure neces.
saryr, to accomplish this must have
been at least two tons. The capac.
ity of the tool and the skill of the
workmen are illustrated by the clean
cut they made through the soft an /
