baby. We were poor. but l worked hard, and
for long time we. were happy. After the
baby came Nellie grew dls-

she said, and asked how ever we we're
going to educate our little girl and make a
lady OF her on $40 week. You see Nellie
looked so far ahead -
she was very miserable, POOR dear, and
used to md her crying when l came nome

times say She wished she had not married a

To Learn the Americans Prayer,


Another story of the worlds fair, says the
Courier Journal. My informant is a grave
thoughtful youth, who observes muchand says
little. Strange ideas come into his head,
No one but he would have chosen to follow a
band of foreigners through the display Of
wonders in the machinery hall, instead Of i'm
itating them and looking at the regular ex
hibits. The foreigners whom he logged
were Chinese of high tchin," evidently per
sons OF education, and perhaps of distinction,
if one could have understood the inner mean
ing of their various buttons, tassels and other
ornaments. And my observant friend no
ticed that nothing seemed TO attract their at
tentiOn, nothing seemed to interest them even
to the extent of inducing them TO
stop and make perfuuctory inspec-
ton, until they came to a cash regis
ter The cash register held them with
its glittering nickel-plated front They went
and peered cuTiously into it, and examined it,
and diScOWsed together about it for some
ten minutes Then they moved on, and
looked about them, and saw that everything
else was vain and uninteresting. The cash.
register alone was worthy Of their Celestial
admiration. When they had gotten to the
end Of the hall they stopped and consulted
one with another, and by common agreement
they turned and went back to the cash-reg-
ent attention.
Being impressed by this experience OF my
thoughtful friend, went and told 1t to the
only Chinese acquaintance have and asked
him to explain Without a moments hesita-
ton, Qulng QuOng chanted In his own even,
unastOnished chant: "Cass Metkin Joss;

The Insanity Dodge.

Speaking of the Philadelphia mint rob-
berry, Chief Drummond, who arrested
Clerk Cochran, the thief, said of him
"Gold seems to be the one thought that
runs through his mind. 1 cannot sbetter
explain it than by saying that l would
trust Henry S. Cochran in a vault with
$4,000 900 in greenbacks, but wouldn't
trust him with SO in gold His mania
has been growing until gold has mastered
him"
Cochran will probably take advantage
of the idea suggested by Chief Drum
mond's expression. 1t may be expected
that he will make insanity his defense.
1t is an old dodge but it has worked well
in instances without number and will
continue TO be effective, from time to
time, as long as lawyers are smart and
human nature in the jury box is credu-
lous. .e-
Cochrans form of insanity, it seems,
turns on gold, not on money, for he is
said to loathe silver and greenbacks
He loves gold as Gaspard loved it. for
its brightness and its chink-and further.
more, for its intrinsic value. For
he never lost sight of the purchasing
power of gold while feasting his eyes
upon its beauty and his ears upon its
music He stole the gold to lay up against
an evil day in which the government
might dispense with his services.
His insanity was of a progress
sive order He pulled out a little of the
gold with his hooked wire, then a little
more, and a little more, as his mania got
the upperhand of him and he thought
over how many more luxuries he could
provide for himself with large sum OF
gold than with a small one And when
he found how easy it was to steal, his in
sanity ran away with his fingers until he
had purloined 100000 worth of the
! precious stuff.
| During all of this time, and for forty.
| odd years before, nobody had ever noticed
any eccentricities about Cochran's deport
ment. He had the appearance of being
| just an ordinary, sane man, who valued
| a $40 bill as much as a gold eagle But
! Chief Dummond thinks he is now, anC
has been for some time, crazy on the one
subject Had he stolen S13O his offenst
would have been theft; as he stole $3.50.
000it is kloptomania, according to Chief
! Drummond. 1t is probable that he de
veloped the mania at precisely the right
time to impress Drummond, and for that
very purpose.

The squire, not liking to bedisturbed, said.

Three hours later, business being finished
he led the way to the dining room, where the

Swami Vivekananda, distinguished
Hindoo, expressed before the Worlds
Parliament of Religion the other day his
establishment at the fact that ministers
of the gospel in this country are paid
regular salaries for teaching what they
consider to be the truth He could
hardly understand how Americans could
accept money for preaching the word of
their God, as in his country members of
the priesthood found it at variance with
their teachings to accept money for any
thing but the bare necessities of life
The distinguished Hindoo is probably
not thoroughly informed as to the way
preachers live in this country. The mum
Der of those who receive salaries suffi-
GENTLY large to permit of their enjoying
the luXuries of life is very small, while
there are numbers of worthy preachers
whose incomes barely afford them the
necessities of life. Taken as a whole, the
preachers are worked as hard and paid as
poorly as any class of people in the
country.

The End of the Fair.

There will be no winter season Of the
world S fair. There will not be even a cheap
concert in this ring after the big show
is over" There was, for some little time,
talk of running the fair through the win
ter, and to an indefinite time next year
But when the managers of the big enter
prise came to count up the cost and the
probable income, the other day, they
found that a 'second edition" would be
impracticable.
The fair has not been an exhilerating
financial success, and when the managers
looked matters over they found that one of
the first things that would be necessary
to an extension of the fair season would
be the securing of another appropriation
from congress, for the continuance of the
governments exhibits. That need was, of
itself, enough to kill the scheme-it simply
couldn't be met; an appeal to congress
would have met the most emphatic kind
of a .'no" But, besides this, it was
found that the state appropriations were
all about exhausted, except sums laid
aside for closing up business; that con
tracts were running out; that il would be
difficult to secure renewals of insurance
ON many of the exhibits; that the conces-
siODaires would want horizontal reduc-
tions, or they would quit-in short, there
were a thousand and one difficulties that
would have to be met and surmounted
before a successful continuance could be
had, and the managers did not see then
way clear to meeting these difficulties
The fair will, therefore, be closed on
schedule time, Oct. 81.

tom" Reed, the greatest leader of the
Republican party in sight, from a physical
point of view, is making his friends tired,
with his persistent lecturing of the
House on the beauties of the Reed rules
in the Fifty-first congress, and his re
peated efforts to show that the democrats
OF the present House have adopted the
substance of those intolerable rules. A
republican congressman is quoted in the
Baltimore Suns Washington correspond
ence as saying that the trouble with
Reed is that he has presidential bee
in his bonnet and wants to keep himself
constantly before the public. The people
like successful men for their presidential
candidates and Reed is trying to pose as
having been successful in his fight to
force his system of rules permanently
upon the House. But not only the oppo-
sition, but his party friends, see through
the scheme and repudiate it.

The South Carolina dispensary law was
passed primarily to raise revenue, sec
oudarily to restrict the liquor traffic
otherwise, to bring about prohibition,
with reservations. But it seems as if the
law would fail Of accomplishing either of
its purposes. AT every turn the state adj
ministration, in endeavoring to enforce
the act, is met with expensive law suits.
Meanwhile as much liquor is being drank
in South Carolina as ever before. In
