A millionaire Bricklayer.

Considerable comment was caused ono
night in the vicinity of Twelfth and
Spruce streets by a bricklayer clad in a
high silk hat, Prince Albert coat, with
trousers and vest to match. He wore a
heavy gold chain, a large. valuable gold
watch, had a diamond ring on each
hand and large diamond stud in his
shirt front. The bricklaycr with the pc
cullar attire was assisting another man
in the garb of laborer in repairing a
brick sidewalk in front of No. 4O6 South
Twelfth street. The property belongs to
the Chouteau estate, and it is said the
man is a member of that family and
worth a million. By assisting in the
work of repairing the man saved the
price of another laborer, probably 50 for
the nights work. He is about sixty wears
old, rather short In stature and has a
gray beard. Altogether, his appearance
contrasted greatly with the work he did.
At late hour the repairing was still in
progress. The old man did not mind
the stares and the laughter of the pass

Teapot Collectors.

Tea was not known in England till the
time of Charles IL. ; but it is interesting
to trace the gradual increase in the size
Of teapots, from the diminutive produc-
tions of the Elers, in the time of Queen
Anne and George l., when tea was sold
in apothecaries shops, to the capaclous
vessel which supplied DIR. Johnson with
"the cup that cheers but not inebriates."
Mr.. Croker, in his edition of ''Boswells
Life" mentions teapot that belonged
to DR.. johnson which held two quarts;
but this sinks into insignificance COM
pared with the superior magnitude of
that in the possession of Mrs. Marrayat,
of Wimbledon, who purchased it at the
sale Of Mrs. Piozzi's effects at Streat-
ham. This teapot, which was tho one
originally used by DR.. johnson, holds
more thar three quarts. George ". had
large assemblage of teapots, piled in
pyramids in the Pavilion at Brighton
Mrs. Elizabeth Carter was also collec-
tor of tcapots; also Mrs. Halves, who
bequeathed 300 specimens to her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Donkin. Among them are sew
eral belonging to Queen Charlotte.

81 guess it's about time, hat.
Hattie rose from the table, brushed
out the wrinkles from her dress and
| went under the evergreen boughs. Field
followed and stood by her side. The
stranger stood in front of them with a
book in his hand.
"Hello, ledge, wat does this hyar
mean?' Nate exclaimed as he jumped up
from his chair and was followed by the
others.
Before any one could reply to Nate the
stranger said. in solemn tone of voice:
"Hattie Billings. do you take Michael
Field to be your husband!'
81 do" Hattie answered in firm voice,
her face wreathed with smiles.
Other questions were asked of Field
and then the minister pronounced
Hattie and the Judge man and
wife. When the ceremony was con-
cluded Nate Cummings gave rous-
ing shout and, catching the bride in his
arms, he kissed her, saying:
"Well, Hat, we uns hev lost our bets,
but we air goin' ter git tn kisses!"
Hattie struggled but it was no use,
for every one present was bound to get
kiss from the bride Field looked on
and smiled. When they were quoted
down Mike got up and said:
''Boys, played you kind of scuryy
trick, but think you have enjoyed it.

night only went a short distance and
then came back. Hat kept me upstairs
all the time until this morning"
There was a general shout and much
merry making after this. Hattie got all
of her bets and more presents in gold.
Field prospered and after time cams
back to New York, with his wife, a very
rich man. The camp was deserted in a
few years, went to decay, and the resi-
dents were scattered, But as each year
comes around Hattie and Mike celebrate
the anniversary of their wedding, and
they will never forget the first Christmas

Improvement of Cereals.

The marvellous changes which have
rendered our cereals far more productive
than the original wildings from which
they have sprung have been due to skill
full breeding and cultivation. All our
important garden and farm crops are the
products of artificial treatment, the re-
suits of selection and cross-breeding, and
without the aid of tillage and careful
farming they would succumb if subject
ed to mere struggle for existence.
The chief improvements of the cereals
have been made by selection. Expert
ments in the work of cross-breeding
barley and oats have been made abroad
for many years, and it is now said that
these efforts have been crowned with
success. = New York World.
