"Pop, said little frankie Billtops, "tell
me a story"
"Well, frankie" said Mr.. Billtops,
"Once there was little boy who thought
he would like to go up and see the stars
and the moon and the sun. He didn't
know exactly how TO get there, but he
had seen skyrockets go up on the Fourth
of July, and he thought that if he could
get skyrocket that was big enough it
would take him where he wanted to go.
So he saved up his pennies, and when he
he had money enough he went to ma
chinery store and bought a big second
hand boiler.
"He carried it home and took all the in
sides out of it aud stuffed it full of pow
der. Then he tied it to liberty pole,
which he had bought of a town that was
willing to sell this one because it wanted
to buy a bigger one. Then he tied a
chair to the pole to sit in so that he
would be perfectly comfortable, and
when he was all ready he got in the
chair and lighted the fuse, and zwish!
away he went, sailing up toward the sky.
He went past the moon and up among
the stars, and finally he came to the SUM-"
Mr.. Billtops paused. He had got

Literary Blunders.

We all make and we all meet with
many amusing literary blunders. The
worst of it is that we readily forget them.
Every ore should keep a book of these
delightful things, which please us with a
sudden sense of superiority. Among
misprints is knises. Some swing on
hooks, some run knises through their
hands," said an article in The Edinburgh
Review. Here every one would emend
by knives or krisses-icniyes was the real
reading. In THE Monastery" Scott
wrote about nursing evil passions.
This was printed ''morsing," and the
verb "to morse was defended by writ
ers in Notes and Queries.
1t has lately been pointed out that in
the Surgeons Daughter" Scott is made
to say that the ''nautch girls perfume
their voluptuous eastern domes," where
as the real reading must be perform
their voluptuous eastern dances" But
we are not aware that the coquille has
been corrected. In "Pendennis" a boy
is said to excel in running and pump
ing" This must mean jumping, "
though the actual competition would
have its merits. There are no rulings in
Yorkshire, triding is the right word, but

Trouble Caused by a semieolon.

The substitution Of a semicolon for a
comma in an act which became q law in
1899 has caused lot Of trouble for the
surface railroads and apparently makes
necessary the passing Of healing act by
the present legislature. The act, which
relates 10 railroad crossings, is as follows:
'No electric. cable or horse railroad
shall hereafter be constructed across the
tracks Of a steam railroad at grade; nor
shall any steam railroad cross any such
electric, cable or horse railroad at grade,
except upon application and approval by
the railroad commissioners"
The preceding was approved, semicolon
and all, June IL, 1889, and became law.
The result is that WIFI lie steam roads can
cross surface lines at will with the per-
mission Of the railroad commissioners
street and electric roads are barred from
crossing steam roads with or without
permission. Hartford Courant.

The slowest old elevator in the world Is
In the postoffice building. Four years ago
a man started from the ground floor to in

before he reaches the street level he is going
to try and get another federal position.
1t is pity that the richest government
in the world in the richest city in the coun
try should be represented by such a wretch
ed old elevator.
The men who run the thing have to be
professional fasters, as the trip up and
down must be accomplished without any
meals ON the way, eating in government
elevators being forbidden by rule of the
treasury department. Amateur elevator
boys have been known TO die Of starvation

The Csrnation Is an old Flower.

Pliny refers to the carnation as having
been used in the days of Augustus Caesar
to give spicy flavor to wine. While
greatly loved and admired by the an
clients, its improvement was not much
advanced until it found a home in Eng
land. The date OF this event is not quite
clear, but is believed 10 be about the
year 1900. Chaucer wrote of its cultiva-
ton in 1886, from which date it has been
considered a florists flower. 1t was first
called "carnation" by Henry Lyte in
1878 and designated as a pink" in 1900.
Edmund Spenser called it coronation, -
which found little favor. Shakespeare,
in winters Tale" act 4, says, 1.-THE
fairest flowers o the season are our car
nations" He also alludes to it in ''Hen-
