Talk about business enterprise" said
Frank l.. Perley, a circus man. "Away
back in 1885 we had a young fellow with
us who was getting SIS and his board.
The night Jumbo was killed in St.
Thomas this boy developed himself. We
were all sy~mpathizing with poor old
Jumbo and wondering how we could re-
place him. The youngster was thinking
Of something else. You know the tail
of an elephant has at the very tip a
bunch of thick hair very much like a
brush. This boy got under the fence and
had pulled every hair out of Jumbo's
tail. His business at the circus was to
sell balloons to children. Well, there
were rs of those thick hairs, and at the
show the next afternoon he was selling
them for 81 apiece as relics of the great
giant. He sold IS of them and practi-
cally found $75. The other one he kept
for himself and still wears it as his mas
cot."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

England's Banking Center.

Threadneedle street is a corruption of
Thridenal street, meaning the third
street from "Chepesyde" to the great
thoroughfare from London bridge to
"Bushop Gate consisting of New Fyshe
streate and Bushop Gate s~treate, Anglo
Saxon, thridda. third). Another etymol-
ogy is Thrig-needle (three needle street,,
from the three needles which the Nee
die Makers company bore in their arms.
1t begins at the Mansion house, and
therefore the Bank of England stands in
it. The directors of the Bank of Eng
land were called "The Old Lady In
Threadneedle Street" by William Cob
bett, because. like Mrs. Darlington, they
tried with their broom to keep back the
Atlantic waves of national progress.
After giving the foregoing, Brewer notes

Marigold:" "A silver curl paper that I
myself took off the shining locks of the

Rufh Said Her VERGE.

Little Ruth can read very nicely, and
her mother is anxious that at an early
age she shall become familiar with the
Bible, SO that when she was obliged to
leave home to be gone five months she
told Ruth she would bring her home a
mutf if she would say a Bible verse every
night before she went to bed. Ruth
promised that she would. Mamma came
home at the end of the five months. Be-
fore presenting the muf she said: GLOW

every night, mamma" That's man.

a good many in five months, dear"

that?' "Jesus wept," said Ruth. 1t

NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT.

When the publishers decided to
issue The journal twice a week
at the same price of the old week
lies, $1.OO per year, they sti uck
just what the public wanted
something between the old-fash-
ioDed weekly and the high-priced
daily. The success of The Semi
Weekly Journal has been imme-
diate and continued. 1t has dis
tanced every one of its once-a-week
rivals. 1t doesn't take long to
convince people that a good live
paper every Tuesday and Friday
is better than only one a week,
especially when you appeal to their
pocket books, and give it to them
at the same price. Readers will
testify that it is almost as good as
a daily. The markets twice a
week are worth the money. Four
complete novels each year by
"The Duchess" Miss Braddon,
and other widely known authors,
are worth the dollar. Its legisla-
tive pews is its strong point just
now. cit is wide-awade, spends
money for news, and is always in
the lead. You can see its supe-
riority over the old-fashioned
weekly. Everyone who subscribes
now gets a Seaside Library free.

A Little Absentminded.

1t is told of a prominent clergyman
that when writing his sermon for last
Sunday he became so engrossed in his
subject that he made it much longer
than usual. When delivering the SER
mon, he noticed that the congregation
was becoming somewhat wearied. He
was anxious to close, but could see no
possible place to stop until through. He
became so that when he stepped
into the chancel to pronounce the bene-
diction he said the grace he is accustom-
ed to say at table. The effect was cleo
trical, and the congregation was well

An English Boys Knowledge Of Literature.

An English Boys knowledge Of Literature.
Every one who is not a schoolmaster is
aware that a young Englishman knows
almost nothing of the literature of his
own land. and what little he does know
he dislikes, because he has had at school
to translate it into Latin. 1t is most hui
initiating to hear an American youth
discourse upon this matter while our
sons sit mum and glum. Efforts
have been made of late to find out what
our boys do read for their own pleasure.
and. the result of these inquiries seems to
be that the" read the accounts of prize
fights.
One headmaster tries to prove that
this is derived from the influence of
Homer. but it is much more likely that
it comes from a perusal of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever cause it arises.
it is certainly true that while there is no
deficiency of good poetry and good fc-
ton among us the rising generation
cares for neither. -London Illustrated

Billiard Rooms In Houses.

Houses will o be all top. Men will
go up stairs to play billiards when they
will not go down. Up stairs there is
greater freedom of conversation. Faith
ers have discovered that if there is a well
equipped billiard room neal the roof. with
good air, an unrestricted outlook, ade-
quate privacy and satisfactory means of
refreshment, their sons, after business
hours. are much more apt to come home
and bring their friends with them to
play until dinner than to go to their
clubs.-San Francisco Argonaut.

The Captains Sight.

It IL sometimes q fault of young peo-
pie to rely too fully upon their own opin-
ions or impressions, and there are grown
people who are quite toe sure regarding
matters to which they have given little
attention. A passenger on a French
steamer tells this story:
The wind was fresh. and we were run
ming at the rate of 10 knots an hour.
Our mariners were deceived in their cal
culations, and as the lead did not ind
cate the proximity of the coast they were
expected to approach they concluded
that the currents had carried us into the
channel. One morning at break Of day
| heard the captain exclalm:
81 sec breakers through the mist"
M. de FAiguille, an officer of superior
merit, who nevertheless displayed some
times too much of the confidence Of
youth. replied with a smile, ''Those
breakers, captain. are nowhere but in
your glass"
Young man. said our old captain,
with a tone of anger. ''you are major
general to the squadron and may give it
the orders you think proper, but I know
what l have to do. It is l who answer
for the safety of my ship. shall there
fore give orders to tack. for there is not
q moment to be lost" 8
He accordingly gave that order, and
during its execution, the fog having sud-
denly cleared away. we perceived at
about 200 yards from US the rocks against
which our feet would inevitably have
persisted. Fortunately the whole squad
ron initiated the movement of our YES
sci, and all danger was over.
The young officer lost no time in thank
ing the captain for his wise reproof, and
for his adherence to the duties of his po-
sition.-Youth's Companion.

An Electric Elevated Road In England.
No misgivings need apply to the case
of the new railway at Liverpool. Insize
and power, as well as in the ingenuity of
its details, it surpasses the best American
models. It extends along the quays of
the great line Of docks on the Mersey for
nearly seven miles. Its carriages are of
full size, not arranged like a tram car,
but like the ordinary passenger a Of
the United States, each being in two
compartments and capable of seating 81
persons. Beneath each car is an electric
motor of from 100 to 70 horsepower, and
the speed will be as high as 30 miles an
hour.
The power to work the trains, and
with them the accessories of signals and
light, is the same, and generated from a
single point on the system. The whole
runs upon an overhead railroad" or con-
tinuous bridge of iron. That is not, how
ever. of the essence of an electric railway,
though the lightness of electric rolling
gear makes such an arrangement cheap
and suitable for the purpose. London
