a Fortunate Youth.

The passengers on an inbound train on
the Boston and Albany railroad were
greatly amused one afternoon lately by
the actions Of gay Lothario. When the
train stopped at Natick, a handsome
young man was seen standing on the
platform bidding an aifectionato adieu
to an equally fine looking young wom-
an. She nestled up TO her fond admircr
and brushed imaginary spccks off the
lapel of his coat.
AS the train was about to start he
made an effort to embrace the idol of his
heart, but was rebullel by the young
woman, who remarked:
Not here, Fred; there are too many
people around"
So Fred whispered sweet goodby
and jumped aboard the now moving
train.
As the cars sped on to Boston. Fred
rapidly forgot the girl he had left be-
hind him and seemed to care but little
for the attention that was shown to him
by those Of his fellow passengers who
had witnessed the parting at Natick
But Fred had another treat in store for
tho passengers. When the train pulled
up at huntington avenue, he alighted
with a merry heart, and before the peo-
pie in the car could fully realize what
had happened WAS in the arms Of an
other fine young woman. This time he
found 10 difficulty in implanting a kiss
on the right spot, and the happy pair
walked Of together, totally oblivious of
the fun they had created. Everybody in
the car gigglcl, and persons who were
entire strangers 10 enc another freely
discussed that affecting scene from real
life. Boston Herald.

NIatcrialism Against Wit.

Some things Of course in the French
display-especially of pottery and
bronzes-are purely decorative, and some
Of the visitors of course are destitute Of
taste. Tho consequence is that occasion
ally person will come along who will
gaze at objects of transcendent artistic
merit with no feeling but one of mystery
and curiosity. So it happened the other
day, when simple minded woman
stopped for awhile in front Of one Of a
pair of vases feet high, the price Of
which is $1,000.
She gazed at it attentively for few
moments and then said dryly to VI. Me-
laile, who stood by, PRAY, what is that

glance and replied with elaborate polite

A ragged, barefooted 10y, crossing
sweeper, had doffed his cap to the Ouch
ess of Sutherland in the hope of recog-
milton, wien hc observed well dressed
but rakish looking man following her
across the street. as if trying to force
upon her attentions that were evidently
obnoxious to her. There was look of
distress on the duchess face.
"Scuse me, lady" said boys voice
beside her, shall | punch. is 'ead?'
She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:
"Why, it's ,Jemmie!'
She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was hers
body and soul. Without waiting foi
another word he dashed off and turned
a sort of violent "cartwhcel" so adroitly
calculated that he landed with two very
muddy feet in the middle Of the offensive
mans waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover
from the shock, the boy had slapped him
with one muddy hand across the mouth
and with the other had deposited hand
ful of the filthy compound on the back
of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the
grasp of policeman, who dragged him
away to the nearest police station. He
was just being charged by the constable
with having committed an assault when
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly
to the gamin and then explained the af.
fair to the inspector on duty.
At her request the boy was set at
liberty, and he staid only long enough
to say to the Inspector:

With the approach Of hot weather the
question of clean, healthy surroundings
Is one that must command the attention
Of every one, and especially in view of
the fact that reports have been published
that cholera can always be prevented by
keeping things clean. The physician
should be the preacher of cleanliness, for
cleanliness saves more lives than all of
the drugs known to us. This includes
body cleanliness as well as that of sur
roundings. Use water, deodorizers and
1isinfectants steadily through the hot
season. There is u sanitary condition Of
our bodies as well as our surroundings.
Bad matter is continually cxuding from
the pores of the skin, and if this is not
washed off frequently it will become the
breeding place for disease germs. Fatal
germs are in dust dirt and particles thai
float in the air. These cling to the body,
and under the warmth of the heat from
the body they multiply.
Many who are filthy get infectious dis
eases, while those who are clean escape.
1t is the safest protection that one can
obtain to surround the body with clean
skin. Our surroundings must also be
clean, sweet and pure. Filth creates III
fectious atmospheric conditions that baf-
fe the wisest sanitarian, and every epi-
demic beginsin dirt. Decaying animal and
vegetable matter, imperfectly cleansed
clothing, person or bed, are all breeding
places for diseases that may in time be-
come epidemic. The physician should
work toprevent all of this, and every one
should aid him in trying to keep the sur
roundings Of the community clean and
sweet in hot weather. Yankee BLADE.

The immigration figures just issued 10y
the bureau OF statistics of tho treasury
department for the month Of May show
II very considerable reaction in the drcc-
ton of increased immigration from the
falling off OF last year. For the five
months ending May 81, as compared
with the corresponding period of the
previous year, there was II falling off Of
10000 and upward, and for the II
months a falling off of 10000. But for
the month of May, as compared with
the corresponding month Of 1892, there
was gain Of 3,1i3. Tho details of the
showing are interesting. The largest
gain over last year was in Italian immi-
grafton, 1852. The largest loss was in

When driving, yOu must watch the
road. Turn ont for stones, SO that the
horse shall not stumble nor the wheels
jolt over them: avoid the mudholes
and places where the going is bad let
the horse slackcn speed when the road
becomes heavy, and if you want to make
up time do it where the ground slightly
descends
1t is Il common mistake to think that
a horse can haul IA carriage easily on the
level. On such road lie has to be pull.
ing every moment; there is no rest.
Whereas when the road now rises and
now falls the weight is taken of him at
times, and he has II chance to recover
lis wind and to rest his muscles. AS
between level road in valley and an
up and down road over the hills. the lat
ter is by far the easier for horse to
travel. When you come to Il long level
stretch, let your horse walk bit i'll the
middle of it.
Almost everybody knows that for the
first few miles after coming out of the
stable a horse should be driven slowly,
and especially if he has just been fed.
On a journey it is Of the utmost impor-
tance to observe this rule. BE careful,
however, not to check young nag too
quickly when he comes fresh out Of the
stable. Give him his head, talk to him
soothingly, and presently he will come
down to u moderate pace. Ii You pull
him up at once, you vex him extremely,
50 much SO that he is not unlikely to
kick.-Harpers Young People.

1t was at Bowling Green, Ky, during
the summer of 1877. Edwin Booth stood
upon platform waiting for train; SO,
too, did a man unknown to the actor.
Buried in thought, this stranger left the
platform to walk upon the track, not
noticing an approaching engine. One
moment more and there would have been
an indistinguishable corpse. Silently,
suddenly, Edwin Booth seized this
stranger and lifted him almost bodily
upon the platform. SO close came the
engine that it struck the strangers heels
as they left the track. "Do you know
who that man isl asked Mr.. Ford, the
well known manager Of Baltimore, who
witnessed the thrilling scene.

any other inaugural excepting the second
one Of Lincoln.
After the oath has been administered
the military and civic display will be
seen. During the forenoon the military
companies will at their convenience
march to the plaza beyond the eastern
front Of the Capitol, and there will be
assigned to their various positions in
line. They will be drawn up In line in
front of the vast throng which usually
occupies that part on Inaugural Day.
The civic societies will also be assigned
places there, and. as soon as the oath Is
administered Mr.. Cleveland will be es-
corted to his carriage and will take his
place in the line. The procession will
then start, returning to the White House
by way Of Pennsylvania avenue, and
when the White House has been reached
Mr.. Cleveland and those whom he has
invited will from reviewing stand

tions by saluting and being saluted in

position of Tammany thus to honor him,
and it is the intention of the leaders Of
that organization to make such demon
stration as will suggest that the stories
Of their hostility to the president are I'M
A,unded, and that they will give him as
uordial support in his administration as
they did during the campaign.
A great body of Democrats from Phil
adelphia, one from Chicago and others
from many Of the western cities will also
make up this imposing civic demonstra-
ton, and there is to be fine representa-
ton from the Democracy Of New Eng
land.
The managers Of the railway COM
panies report that the indications are
that the largest throng will be gathered
In Washington ever witnessed there
upon an Inauguration Day. The facili-
ties Of even some Of the greater railways
will be taxed to the utmost to transport
these persons, and many of the organizes
tions have already made arrangements
for special trains. It is estimated that
there are likely to be more than 100. 900
strangers in Washington upon that day.
If Mr.. Cleveland has the experience Of
some Of his predecessors he will find that
there are some more exacting duties for
him than participation in the ceremo-
MES, excepting that one which requires
him to take the oath. General Garfield
returned from the Capitol to the White
House still perplexed about his cabinet,
and it was not until after he had attend.
ed the inaugural ball that he was abso-
lutely certain Of whom his official family
was to be composed. Mr.. Cleveland was
not troubled in that way in 1885, since
cabinet problems had ceased to perplex
him at least two weeks before Inaugura-
ton Day. Yet he was harassed by ap-
plications for appointments before he
had been president six hours, and after
he returned from the inaugural ball he
spent an hour or two reading some Of
the Endorsements and applications. so
that it was past . o'clock before he was
able to seek his bed. He was up at Z on
the following morning, and spent an
hour or two before breakfast in examin-
Ing his correspondence.
The excitement and mental strain
which the inauguration ceremonies and
the experiences which the first few weeks
of occupancy of the exalted Office entail
are usually very exhausting, and Presi-
dent Harrison has said that he was more
fatigued by his first months experience
in the White House than he had been by
the work of Il year after he became fa-
miliar with the duties imposed upon
him. 1t was to recover from this strain
that General Garfield planned the vacar
ton which the assassin's bullet prevent
ed just as he was entering the railway
station to begin it. Mr.. Cleveland. how
ever, bore these fatigues without appar-
ent WEAKNESS, and his familiarity with
the Office causes him to look forward to
his second experience with noxe of the
anxiety which he felt when he first be-
came president of the United States.

Washington gets perfect illustration
Of the truth which is contained in that
trite saying THE king is dead; long live
the lsing!' ON Inauguration Day. With
the administration of the oath presi-
dent becomes q private citizen. and a.
private citizen becomes the occupant of
an Office which Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt,
Of New York, has described as the grand
est political Office upon earth. He who
was president in the morning and now
becomes ex-presideut usually goes away
without any formal courtesy at parting.
Mr.. Hayes was driven from the Capitol
directly to the railway station, where
his family was awaiting him, and started
for his home in Ohio, and within an hour
had as narrow an escape from death as
any man ever experiences who is in a
railway accident.
General Arthur quilted the White
House for good when he left it to escort
his successor to the Capitol. After the
oath was administered to Cleveland Ar
thur went as guest to the house of
Secretary Of State Frelinghuysen. He
remained in Washington, however. long
er than any ex-president ever did, since
he was Mr.. Frelinghuysens guest for
nearly month. Mr.. Cleveland quilted
Washington Immediately after the in
augural ceremonies, and it is understood
that President Harrison will leave the
capital on the afternoon of Inauguration
Day.
The indications are that the military
display, while it will be imposing. may
not exceed in numbers the military es-
cort rendered at some other inaugura-
tions. At General Grants second inau-
gural and upon the occasion of Garield's
Inauguration there was very large mill
tary attendance, both from the United
States army and from the state militia.
