Waking the Doing Court.

Gambetta, prior to the overthrow of tht
empire, was addressing the court in behalf
IF prisoner when suddenly he perceived
that the presiding judge was visibly doz-
ing. He paused for minute, and then,
bringing down his fist with terrible
thump on the desk in front of him, he
shouted in his most resonant and clarion
like voice, "As l was saying before the
awakening of the court!' This apostrophe
was Immediately punished by the indig-
nant judge suspending the young lawyer
from practicing his profession for period
Of two months.
Less energetic, yet equally effective. was
Maitre Rouse, who, having likewise OBJ
served that the presiding magistrate was
indulging in nap. suddenly stopped talk
ing. The prolonged silence. which lasted
four minutes, had the effect of awakening
the judge, and as soon as he opened his eyes
Naitre Rouse made a profound bow and
resumed his speech as follows: LAS was
saying, Messieurs de la Cour, at your last
audience" laying special stress on the word
last" The reproof was SO delicate that
everybody smiled, even including the judge
himself-San Francisco Argonaut.

Practical Philanthropy.

An excellent steward Of THIS worlds
goods is Augustus Hemenway, a retired
farmer of Canton, Mass. He invited all
the public school teachers of that town,
26 in number, to take 10 days trip to
the Worlds fair at his expense.
This is practical philanthropy of a
kind that warns the heart and increases
confidence in the goodness of human
nature. It is an easy matter to advise
every one to visit the exposition, but
there are thousands Of people anxious to
follow the advice who are confronted
with the perplexing and discouraging
problem of ways and means Underpaid
schoolteachers, struggling clergymen,
men and women to whom the expendi-
ture Of 800 for an outing means serious
sacrifices for the remainder Of the year,
may be found in all parts of the coun-
try, longing to 80 to Chicago, but re-
strained by financial considerations.
They are not suffering or destitute; they
simply can not afford to indulge in the
luxury of a trip to the fair. To this
class, intelligent and appreciative, a
friend like Mr.. Hemenway is friend
indeed.-Rochester Democrat.

Looking at Things.

When Mr.. Hudson was in Patagonia,
he fell in with a gambler, who told him
that always after the first few rounds of
the game he knew some of the cards as
they were dealt. He recognized them
by a difference SO slight that another
man could not detect it even when it was
pointed out to him.
Mr.. Hudson is an ornithologist, and
he says that this same preternaturally
sharp eyed man was greatly surprised
when he was told that half a dozen kinds
of sparrows were feeding and singing
about the house. He had never seen any
difference in them, he said. In size, color,
shape and actions they were all alike,
and they all sang and twittered alike, so
far as he had ever noticed.-Youth's
Companion.

Old Fashioned Southern Homes.

The old fashioned southern houses! Some
IF them are left still. You see them here
and there as you 60 about Houston; splen-
did old places, with such an air of old time
hospitality about them. In the midst of
the modern buildings these lovely old
homes give you a feeling of pleasure-just
such feeling as you have when you meet
gentleman of the old school, with his re-
6ned and courtly bearing. What vision
comes to you of the lovely hospitality which
once made every one of these homes the
:enter of pleasure and culture! You have
but to close your eyes, and you can see again
the merry crowds that used to assemble
there, and up from the past come floating
the light jest and lighter laughter. What
music and song have drifted out from those
spacious parlors! What couples have
promenaded along those wide old galleriesl
Where have they all gone, wonder-the
youth and hope that made these old homes
radiant 20, so, 40years ago?-Houston Post.

The Worm Turned.

A dirty, disreputable looking beggar,
with a bandage around his head and a
black eye, accosted fashionably dressed
individual on Broad street yesterday, say
ing: Say, boss, give me few coppers to
get something to eat, will yer? Him haw
full 'ungry." The well dressed individual
turned on him with supercilious look,
gazed at him a moment and said, in a lord
ly fashion, Come with mep' AS he spoke
he led the way to a high priced cafe. Strut
ting up to the cashiers desk, the mendi-
cant humbly following, he threw down
twenty-five cent piece and said so loudly
that everybody in the place could hear
him: Here! This beggar says he is hun
cry. Give him something to eat. 1t will
stop him from annoying people. He started
to strut out then, but the beggar called
him back.
Pulling his dilapidated coat around his
body, drawing himself up to his full height
and raising his battered hat with mock po-
likeness, he said, as loudly as the other had
spoken: Hi don't see as 'ow Hi can accept
yer hospitality, boss. Him afraid rs low it
would be placing too 'eavy an obligation
on i'm who 'as to pay future rewards for
good acts done ERE" With this he bowed
gravely and started for the door. 4 laugh
went up from the men in the place, under
fire of which the individual who had at
tempted to be so ostentatious in his petty
almsgiving retreated shamefacedly.-

Finding the Page.

lately made the discovery that by tear
ing bit off one corner of my notebook
could put my thumb nail on the corner of
the first page on which wanted to write
and open to it at once without lingering to
separate that page and the cover It fol-
lowed as a corollary that when the first
page was written full the exposed corner of
that page could be torn off in the same
manner and the second page opened to
with equal readiness and SO on. l think
this idea may be found useful where one
turns several times to one page before writ
ing on the next, as on notebooks, account
books, etc. A gentleman to whom l ex-
planned the idea suggested that books
might be made with perforations across
one corner, SO that the tear might be easier

Artesian Wells in the African Desert.

Artesian Wells in the African Desert.
In the year 1857 the French engineer, NJ.
Jus, demonstrated that that portion of the
Sahara desert included within the area of
French Algeria contained large under
ground supplies of water, and the number
of wells bored since that time in the de-
partments of Algiers, Oran and Constan-
tine amounts to more than 1900. These
wells vary from 100 to 400 feet in depth.
and the pressure of the water forces it a
couple of feet above the surface of the
ground. 1t is then led into bitches, and is
carried in this way to the vineyards, date
trees and wheat fields.
No fewer than 1900, 600 acres of barren
land have been made fruitful in this way,
an enterprise representing perhaps the
most remarkable example of irrigation by
means of artesian wells which can any
where be found. Algeria owes to this
method Of cultivation that it is becoming
q most important wine producing country,
as may be gagged from the fact that it
sent to France in 1886 lO,5OO, 600 gallons
