A Confident Prisoner.

1t was a case of chicken stealing, and
the prints of bare feet were found in the
gravel around the hen-house. The lawyer
for the prosecution was one who, if he
had been Napoleon Bonaparte, never
would have crossed the Alps; he would
simply have pulled them up by the roots
and thrown them over the fence. The
prisoner was an unknown tramp, and
lame at that
"You say you don't know anything
about this theft z" queried the lawyer,
fiercely.
"That's what swore to, SIR" said
the tramp, meekly.
You were in the back yard of Slam
tipp's house about supper time ~
" Yes, SIR"
"You know the location of the hen
house,"
Yes, SIR"
"You we're seen on the road in front
of the house sometime after dark z"
81 was there, sir"
"You were in the yard after dark2"
"Yes, sir, and after supper, also, sir"
replied the prisoner, with wan smile
at his innocent little jokein such place
"And you were seen by the cook sit
ting on, ,the doorstep with your shoe Off"
Eyes, sir; there was pebble in it
that was too big to get out of the same
hole 1t got in at"
"Now, sir, propose to prove to you
that you made those tracks with your
bare feet while you were stealing the
chickens of the plaintiff"
"You can't do it, sir" said the pris-
oner, mildly but firmly.
"And why not, pray4" asked the law
yer, with fine sarcasm.
Because, sir, I've one wooden leg

MAKING MASKS.
An ladustry that is Interesting, but
Small.

The industry Of making masks is more
limited perhaps than is generally sup
posed, but has various interesting fea-
lures. About $50, 900 worth of cheap
masks are annually imported and $50. 600
worth made in New York City. The
various profits of the whole industry in
this country would represent business
of about $300,OO0
Paper masks are made chiefly in Ger
many and the most elaborate ones near
Nuremberg, whose toys delight so many
children all over the civilized world.
importers of masks, by the way, are also
largely importers of tops.
Masks can also he manufactured more
cheaply insNew York than they can be
imported. The masks exported are made
by machinery. Masks are sold in this
market at from 75 cents gross to Sl5
apiece or more. Special masks of the
high-priced variety are made TO order,
and usually from drawings or suggestions
furnished by, customers The majority
Of the masks made are known as ''com-
ics"-grotesque faces. representing moth
ing in particular ar-and character faces
Indians, clowns, devils, etc. These are
especially popular with street organiza.
tions known as "iantastieals" about
Thanksgiving time.

A Missouri Crew-Roost.

"A mile and half of crows are good
many said Mr.. Charles Jones, "but
there is a crow-roost down in Southwest
Missouri which covers that area of
ground. Out of curiosity | recently
made visit to the roost after nightfall,
aud | never heard such tempest OF caws
before in nv life. There were thous-
ands of the birds and they kept up an
ineessant roar that was really deafening.
Where they came from no one can say,
but persons living near by state that every
evening from four o'clock until dark the
heavens are black with vast focks COM
ing from every direction, but that they
are early risers, and at daybreak few are
left. These crows have been making
this spot headquarters fer number
of years, and have become a source
of annoyance to the farmers of the
surrounding country by committing dep
relations upon their wheat fields, and
very often raids are made on the roosts
after dark when thousands are killed.
But this seems to have no effect on them
other than to make the Others more wary.
The people of that section are seriously
considering the advisability of asking the
State Legislature to offer a bounty for
crow heads, which they believe would
either result in their determination or
cause them to move their headquarters.

To Test Drinking Water.

Pure water can always be told from
impure by few very simple tests, says
the indianapolis News.
To judge of the color, fill a colorless
glass bottle with the water, look through
it at some black object, and the dis
tinctness with which this can be seen
gives an idea as to the proportion of
clay or sand it contains. Then pour out
one-half the water, cork the bottle
tightly and set it in warm place for q
day.
Remove the cork and smell the air in
the bottle. If there is an offensive odor,
however slight, the water is unfit for do
mestic use, and should be rejected. 1t
often happens that we'll water, no matter
how bright and sparkling. contains
large quantities of putrescent matter.
When this is the case. decomposition
is sure to take place in few hours
when the water is put in warm place,
aud decomposition is always attended

THE SPANKING OF KINGS.

The spanking of kings is not accounted
among the monarchical disturbances of
Europe, yet the most recent news from
Spain is that the baby king has under
gone spanking. 1t seems that in riding
out, instead of responding politely to the
sautations of some of the most venerable
of his subjects, he stuck out his tongue
at them, whereupon a Republican editor
stated in his paper that the King of Spain
was being taught to despise his subjects.
In this wise the news came to his mother,
Queen Christina, who, after severe,
lecture, laid her son across her knee and
gave the King sound, old-fashioned
orthodox spanking. = New York Sun.

EDUCATE YOURSELF.

1t very often happens that boy has
to be busy with work of some kind when
he really wants to read and become
educated. Now this desire for education
is splendid thing in a boy Indeed,
there is nothing in the world that is any
better. But it often happens that boy
is prevented by circumstances from doing
that which would seem to be the best
thing for him.
Here is word of enco ragemcnt to-
such boys. Read all you can in the best
papers and tazines. Pick up scraps
of information about people and things,
and make them your own, so that you
will remember them. Some day your
knowledge, picked up little by little, will
be very extensive and you will find that
you compare very favorably with boys
who have had much better chances for
education than yourself. Console your
self with the thought that some of the
best work in the world has been done
under very trying circumstances.
Sir Walter Raleigh wrote his History
of the World" during his eleven years
Imprisonment. And who knows but you,
during your years of work, when you
would like to enjoy years of study and
recreation, may be laying the foundation
of some piece of work as great as any
Sir Walter Raleigh ever did. Detroit

Mr.. Blaine's Good Memory.

Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin, told the
following story, illustrating Mr.. Blaine'c
wonderful memory for names and faces
'In 1874, Mr.. Blaine made speech
in Wisconsin and he stopped with me-
While he was there l gave a dinner in
Mr. Blaine's honor, to which | invited
Mr.. Myer, of Fond du Lac In 1891,
more than sixteen years afterwards Mr..
Myer came here and l took him to call
on Mr.. Blaine. Before we got there we
met Mr.. Blaine. When we were within
about forty feet of him he walked quickly
forward and without hesitation said,
Mr.. &. L. j. Myer, how do you doG"
A man who listened to Senator Saw
yer's story said: 81 was with Mr..
Blaine when he visited Lancaster, O.,
during campaign Mr.. Blaine had
lived there and he got great reception.
He remembered all the old residents.
Finally some one brought in a man whom
they said he would not remember. Mr..
Blaine replied: "Yes, do; give me a
little time" Pretty soon he remarked
to the man: 81 never saw you but
once" /" and then he told this story:
"Whcn ! was boy there was great
excitement one day because a convict
had escaped from the Columbus Peniten-
tiary and had been tracked into that
nelghborhood. Police arrested him and
Mr.. Blaine said he was one of the crowd
around. The man was taken to black
smiths shop and had fetters rivettcd on
him by the blacksmith. You, he said,
turning to the man. and walked home
to Lancaster together after that. 4"

A WONDERFUL BoY-vIoLINIsT.

Living right in the city of New York
and going to school every day just as if
he were an ordinary boy, there is a won
derful little musician who will some day
make his mark among the great violin
lists of the world. His name is Arthur
Hartmann, and he has already been deco
rated with three big shining medals.
One of them is from the New York
College of Music, another was given him
by the Austro- Hungarian consul, and
third was presented by the Austro- Hun
garian Society, of Philadelphia. Little
Arthur is ten years old, and is already
fitted to go upon the stage as solo
violinist, but his father, who is very
wise man, does not think that it is well
for child, even though he be possessed
of great genius, to go before the public
until he is old enough to stay up late at
night without failing in health The
National Conservatory of Music is de-
sirous of taking the little fellow for five
years course of music and propose giving
him five-thousand-d dollar benefit But
his papa wants him to work quietly for
n few years, and so it is probable that
you will only hear of Arthur, now and
then, at some very nice entertainment OF
musical festival. = The Ledger.

We Need the Tariff.

There has not been very much said
about the tariff since the election was
over. Our friends, the enemy, have
seen at a glance that they cannot
abolish the tariff and keep their house
running. Hence they are pretty still /;
but the fact that wise men will get up
and declare that American manufac-
turers can successfully compete with
European manufacturers when our
country pays 80 in wages, where the
the other country pays 81; where one
country, too, has it's mines close by
its factories, its factories close by its
ships, its ships ready at any time to
transport to the uttermost parts of
the world any foreign manufactured
goods; to say that our new country,
with roads undeveloped, with wages
two to one against those of England
to say that such country, without
the support OF the government behind
it, could succeed, Is to discount every
law of arithmetic and logic, and to
advertise that the world must be
on crazy streak because it cannot
see that two times two are six. We
need the tariff.-Tribune, Salt Lake
