The Kittens journey.

90 mamma, see the poor horses!
They go all the time, and they dom
get anywhere" said small boy com.
passionately, pointing to the horses
at work in the threshing-m machine
The same could BE- sal of the kitten
in the following anecdotes:
A half-grown kitten became lodged
in the fy-W heel of an engine in Pert.
land, Oregon. The wheel moved SO
rapidly that pussy, could not escape.
Indeed, it is probable that the poor
creature was soon unconscious from
dizziness.
A little computation shows the
distance the kitten travelled. The
fy-wheel makes two hundred and
fifty revolutions per minute, and
every turn puss went seventeen feet.
The engine was in motion three hun
dred and ninety minutes, and during
that time the kitten travelled very
nearly three hundred and fifteen
miles.
She was taken out nearly dead, but
soon recovered and was as lively as
ever. 1t was observed afterward
that she gave the t1y-wheel a wide
berth

one set Of parts continually and five
companies will be required. Alto
gether about seven hundred people
will be employed, many of them ma
tive MeXicans.
The building itself is to be typical
of Mexican architecture and decora-
ton. The main entrance will be on
55th street. The building will be
eighty feet high and will resemble in
appearance the panorama buildings
down town. The exterior decora-
tons are to be fantastic to the last
degree. The colors are queer and the
designs thoroughly Mexican. Along
the outer panels and faeades rows of
Aztec figures, occupied in various
pursuits. are to be painted. At other
places Mexican buildings and scenery
are to be reproduced in colors. The
scenery for the panorama has occu-
pied a good deal of Mr.. Herrera's
time for several years. 1t is nearly
all complete and he has taken pains
to have it accurate. The costumes
worn by the actors will also be those
worn in Mexico at the period repre-
sented. In fact, it is proposed to eX-
actly reproduce some Of the most
interested parts of Mexican history.
To build this theater stock COM
pany has been formed with capital
of S125, 900.

Two HUNDRED and thirty passen-
gers on the north bound Oregon eX-
press were saved from death or injury
by the heroic conduct of a destitute
gardener beating his way on the rail-
road. The salvation of the train and
it's load of human freight nearly cost
the life of the man who saved it, and
the benefciaries of his unSelfish act
responded to the noble prOmptings
of gratitude by raising muniticent
purse of $50, representing a contribu-
tion of about % cents a head. Aside
from the value of the railroad prop
erty saved from destruction, the
Wells, Fargo & Co. treasure box, said
to contain about $4,000, was pre-
served from molestation, it having
been the evident intention of a party
of miscreants to wreck and then rob
the train. Rewards were offered tor
those who capture the criminals 1t
might be a stroke OF policy
and would certainly be a matter
of justice to properly reward the man
who averted the terrible catastrophe
To this both the railroad and express
company might with good grace con-
tribute.

PROFESSOR LEvERMORE, of Boston,
advocates the establishment of a
newspaper with an endowment OF
from 81, 900, 900 to 100000 under
the charge of a Board of Trustees
having no pecuniary interest in the
project. His theory is that by maxi
ing a newspaper independent of pop
ular support it would be enabled to
exclude reports Of scandals, murders,
and prize fights, and to devote its
columns to topics of less sensational
character Advertising would not be
debarred, but nothing of an eQuivo-
cal nature would be accepted. Such
a journal is. of course, possible, es-
pecialIy with heavy endowment
back of it, but it would be folly to
call it a newspaper. At best it
would merely chronicle certain class
of events, much after the pattern of
trade and sectarian papers. 1t is
needless to say that the person who
depended solely upon such a ournal
for current information would be
totally unfit to form correct judg-
ment of events in the world about
him.

Pertinent Question.

Old Aunt Dinah was a colored
woman, who had remarkably strong
voice, and would sing and cry glory"
with such vigor as to be heard above
all the rest of the congregation, but
she was of an unpleasantly saving"
disposition.
1t was the custom at the mission
airy meetings of the church she at
tended to take up collection during
the singing of the hymn, ely abroad,
thou mighty gospel" in the midst of
which Aunt Dinah threw back her
head, closed her eyes, and sang away
at the top of her lungs till the plate
had passed her by.
The collector, who was a man of
plain speech, observed this habit of
the old wOmans, and one evening
when he came to her seat he stopped
short, and, surveying her rapt coun-
tenance, said, bluntly:
"Look a-hea, yo Aunt Dinah,
What's de good oh yo' a-singin' an
a-singin', Fly abroad, thou mighty
gospel eff you doan' glib muffin to
to make her fy?"

The Wisdom of Fools.

Folly, in the abstract, has been de-
nounced alike by Scripture and an
Gent heather sages. IF l wish tc
look at FOOL" says Seneca, Il have
not far to look. / have only to look
in a mirror" The Emperor Maxi
milan distinguished the dullest OF
his counsellors by the title of the
King of Fools. Once when he adj
dressed prosy adviser by this title,
the gentleman neatly enough replied:
Il wish with all my heart / were
King Of Fools; | should have glori-
Gus kingdom, and your Imperial
Majesty would be among my sub
jects.
The term fool is often misapplied.
Thus, Charles the Simple was no fool,
but man Of extraordinary simplicity
and strength of mind and feeling
So Homer, when he called Tele-
machus fool, or silly" did not en-
ploy the word as term of reproach,
but of endearment.
The court fool, or jester, was for
merly an important person in the
households Of kings and princes. His
influence over his master was con-
siderable, and many clever sayings of
fools are still in existence.
Charles the Simple had a jester
named Jean, who one morning tried
his masters nerves by rushing into

A CIRCUMSTANCE attending re-
cent murder trial in Texas has eX-
cited great public interest in that
State The trial occurred at Colum-
bus Arthur King was on trial for
the murder of Frank Williams, near
Eagle Lake. Sept. II. 1892. The
jury was impaneled, and it being late
in the afternoon the court adjourned
for supper. Evidently the Texas
courts have expeditions methods
which would shock the judicial aggIe-
CATION and the bar of Northern
city. After supper the trial proceed
ed. The examination of witnesses
was continued until IL o'clock, when
an adjournment was about to be had.
At that moment Judge Beauregard
Bryan, presiding at the trial, was in
formed that Jud Williams, brother
Of the man for whose murder King
was on trial, had secretly passed a
flask of whisky to B. L. Willis. one
of the jurymeo. Whatever malicious
wits may say of barbarous conditions
at the South, nothing in this in
stance justif1es their jests. The trial
was stopped. Judge Bryan called up
before him the juror Willis and Jud
Williams. Both were severely repri-
manded and Williams was sent to
Jail, to stay there until the further
orders of the court. He then said
that this fragrant misconduct would
be calculated to throw doubt upon
any verdict that might be rendered
and discharged the jury. The action
of Judge Bryan is universally COM
mended and popular opinion regard
ing the administration of justice In
Texas should be In its favor.

His Tooth EyDlOdeG.

A day or two ago William Arnold, an
employee of the Carnegie mills at Beaver
Falls, Pa, was attacked with violent
toothache in a big 'double" molar.
The man has dread Of dentist, and he
could not be brought to the point of
having it pulled. subsequently the pain
grew into a paroXysm of agony, and
while the man was writhing there was a
muffled explosion in his mouth, and
the next instand he was splitting blood
and the fragments of the tooth from a
badly lacerated mouth. Dentists say
that the breaking of diseased tooth
in such paroxysms of pain is not I'M
paralleled.

sire, such news! -Four thousand men

what" cried the startled king.
with what intention have they
risen?"
WELL, "replied the jester, probably
with the intention of lying down
again at bedtime"
Although there are many examples
of the license which testers were
allowed, instances are not wanting Of
their delicacy and courage. For ex-
ample, when the fleet OF Philip was
captured or destroyed by that of Ed
ward Ill, there was no one at court
bold enough to communicate tidings
of the disaster to the king, except a
court fool.
Going into the kings chamber, the
fool began mutterng: "Those cow
ardly Englishmen. The chicken
hearted Britons!"
How so, cousin? How 500" asked
Philip.
"Why, because they have not cour-
age enough to jump into the sea, like
your French sailors, who went head
long from their ships, leaving those
to the enemy who were not brave
enough to follow them"

French Ruling.

In the case of French countess
who left all her property to the Pope,
the French court, in the action on
the part of the natural heirs of the
countess to break the will, decided
that the Pope could not hold land in
France-not because he was foreign
sovereign, but because he was not a
concrete person, but an abstraction,
standing for the school of ideas known
as Christianity, and because an alb
stract idea cannot hold real estate in
France.

A Fortune from Il Small Beginning

The Boston Advertiser tells of a
widow in or near that city who began
business on an original capital Of 5
cents and prospered. She had two or
three children and a grandchild to pro-
vide for when her husband died, there
was a mortgage on her house, and
money and provisions soon gave out
But one day her little son received 5
cents for shutting a neighbour gate, and
this money she invested in popcorn.
Out of this, with a small quantity of
molasses that she had on hand, she
moulded fifteen popcorn balls which
she sold for cent apiece to the school
children, thus trebling her capital.
She proceeded on the principle of
"quick returns and large profits, ,"
charging her stock of merchandise as
her capital increased. Now, at the end
OF fourteen years, she has her house
clear of mortgage, has money in the
bank, has given her children and her
grandchild good education, and is in
the enjoyment of a large and lucrative
trade, with an experience which is a
sure guarantee of success. How many
men are there in Boston who, under
similar circumstances, could ego and do
likewise ?'

Novel Enterprise to BE Run During the
Worlds Fair.
Mexican invention will furnish one
of the most fantastic and attractive
of the side-shows at the Exposition.
1t is nothing less than revolving
theater, in which will be given a
grand panoramic spectacular perform
ance illustrative of Mexican life and
customs from the time of the Aztecs
and the Montezumas down to the
present day. Jesus Herrera Y. Guti-
errez is the inventor of the revolving
theater, which he hopes will revolu-
tiOniZe matters Of construction in the
theatrical world, and the manager
and author Of the play that is to be
produced. Associated with him in
the enterprise are Mr.. Zarate and
several other Mexican and Chicago
promoters.
This theater is to be erected at the
corner of 55th street and Everett ave-
nue., just in the heart of the side
show district and surrounded by

may be swung around as on a railway
turn-table and brought in order be-
fore the different stages, which
are to be stationary. For instance,
one audience-room will be so placed
as to stand Immediately behind the
main entrance. When it is filed it
will be moved until it is brought be-
fore the first stage, and a second au-
dience-rOOm will be brought to the
entrance. When the play or act on

along before stage No. 2, where an
other act or play will be presented.
Meanwhile audience-room No. will
be- brought before stage No. /, and

brought to the entrance doors ready
to receive a IeY crowd and start it

There is one individual about hotel
who is seldom seen by the outside pub
lie, but who occupies one of the most
responsible positions in every hostelry.
1t is the night clerk.
His duties are, of course, not as ardu-
Gus as the day or room clerk, but they
are very responsible. The house is filled
with sleeping people and he maintains
over all these precious lives an indirect

after the Waterman closely to see that
the halls are properly patroled and a
sharp lookout kept for fires. At the
disastrous Hotel Royal fire in New
York it will be remembered that it was
alleged that the great loss of life there
resulting was mainly due to the fact that
the night clerk was at the time the fire
broke out either asleep or improperly
attending to his duties, as the flames

Queer Custom.

At Axum, in Abyssinia, singular
custom is observed. When any person
is injured he gets hold if possible, of
his adversary's garment and ties it to
his own. If he can do this the offender
never attempts to deliver himself,
but quietly follows to the presence of
his superiors, who are to judge him.
Such a respect to this novel though
legal form of arrest would hardly
have been expected in such country.

something to eat, loaded him into a
wagon without so much as pair of
handouts to restrain him, and landed
him safely in the Jackson prison,
after having a pleasant talk on the
way and eliciting some interesting
statements from the remarkable pris-
oner. There was no flourishing of
snooting-irons, no grand stand plays.

Best system of FOrti flcation

Is that adopted by people in precarious
health who wisely fortify their systems
against disease with that acceptable and
effectual barrier against its inroads-Hos-
letters Stomach Bitters. Precautionary
measures, when the health is but slightly
impaired is, as physicians well know,
worth any amount of medication after
ward. A premonitory malarial chill, fit
of indigestion, increasing lrregularity of
the bowels, warning rheumatic twinge,
inactivity of the kidneys, slight at first,
bilious sallowness accompanied with
furred tongue-these are appeals to the
sense of self-protection which no person
of common judgment will disregard.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters preserves
those who take it from malaria, dys dyspepsia,
chronic constipation, rheumatism, kidney
and bladder trouble and liver complaint.
Nervous invalids, persons troubled with
infirmities incident to advanced years,
ladies in delicate health and convalescents
derive infinite benefit from the Bittvrs.
