He Wanted to Come.

A Boston schoolteacher arranged a
little maple sugar party for few of her
friends last winter, and wishing to dec
crate her rooms appropriately asked her
boys if they would not bring her some
evergreen boughs. This they did with
good deal of pleasure (the school is in
one of the more rural quarters of the
city, and the grateful teacher by way of
expressing her gratitude gave her pupils
little description of what she intend
ed to do.
She had spent some of her vacations
in Vermont, and being familiar with
the process of sugar making was able
to make her story not only instructive,
but decidedly interesting.
She described the grove, the tapping
of the trees, the running of the sap, the
boiling of it, and so ON. Then she told
what she proposc7 doing at the party.
She was going 10 boil some sirup and
then pour it upon bowls of snow to cool,
and so serve it to her guests.
The scholars listened with the deepest
attention, but the teacher noticed espe-
cially one little fellow who sat leaning
over his desk with his hand all ready
to be raised, as if he could not wait for
her to finish.
AS she paused, up came the hand.
"Well, Peter?'' said she, and the little
fellow broke out.
"How much are the tickets?" he
asked. -Youth's Companion.

wired steam Pipes.

The interesting fact is noted in En-
gineering of the adoption in the Ital-
ian navy of the plan of reinforcing
steam pipes with wire, the practice
consisting in serving the tubes over
with one or more layers of closely
laid metal wire, wound on under ten
sion. Up to about eight inches in di-
ameter drawn tubes are used without
reinforcement, while above this di-
ameter the tubes are made out of
copper sheets by the usual brazing
operation and are then wrapped
round with close spiral of copper
or delta metal wire.
- This method of reinforcement is
only considered applicable to straight
tubes, and accordingly these only
are used, gun metal castings being
employed at the elbows and bends.
The wire is of sufficient section to
carry the full steam pressure indie
pendently of the strength of the
tube, though the latter is made
strong enough to stand the usual hy-
draulic test before the wire is put ON.
The reinforcement is made up with
two or three independent spirals, so
that if one wire breaks the tube is
still held up to its work by the 9TH
ers. The ends are fixed independent
of the fanges.

Love-.

Love-A nervous disorder affecting
the entire system and sometimes even
the clothes and food of the victim. Pc
culiar to both sexes of all ages, from
childhood to second childhood. Always
fatal in age, seldom in youth.
Symptoms-Loss of appetite and in
terest in mundane affairs. Anxiety as to
personal appearance Longing for fiow-
ers and poetry. Sudden affection for chill
dren, especially babes that the victim
has formerly despised. Demented belief
in the absolute perfection of some being
of the opposite sex Vacant expression
of the eyes and cerebral cavity. Patient
speaks in monosyllables and takes an
especial interest in the monosyllable
Eyes. "
Treatment-One dose of the monosyl-
liable mo" and good nursing, for males.
For females new sealskin sack,
diamonds and trip to Europe are
sometimes efficacious
An application of stern parents is
sometimes of use, but more often merely
excites the malady.
Marriage is an absolute specific. But
it is so dangerous that it is never used
except in extreme cases.-Truth.

enthusiastically. "Why not, when you

the train was on time. Then he rushed

He went into the sitting room, and
the train presently came in. The hus-
band lodged about as if he was walking
on glass, and the passengers came out
one by one until the coaches were
empty. There was no wife. 1t was 10
minutes before the husband could give
up, and when he did and started out

One OF the Many Queer Characters to BE
Seen In London Streets.
AS it isnow morning, writes Lon
don correspondent of the Boston Her
aid, we shall see some Dickenslike
characters What American fails to
find such of interesti Listenl A
strange cry bursts on the ear. Pres
emily we make it out. 1t is Dust
hoi Dust-hoir Then a man ap-
pears, walking beside huge cart and
plodding horse. He is one of the reg
tllar parish collectors of dust and
cinders. He has his rounds in this
particular vestry twice a week. He
comes to your side house entrance
door, which is also your servants or
tradesman's door, and removes your
refuse in big baskets.
The tradition is that you pay him
nothing, as you are entitled, being a
householder and ratepayer, to have
your dust bin cleared at such times as
you wish. Ordinarily this is about
once in three weeks. You must not
empty green vegetable parings in the
bin. These must be burned Like
most traditions, it is honored better
in the breach than in the observance,
for the fact is you pay the "dust-hoi
man" twopence gratuity for beer. If
he invested his daily takings thus, he
would go home fairly inebriated.
When Christmas comes, he will per
haps ask for his Christmas "box, :"
which is a few pennies, whatever
you like to present.
Why "hoi," / don't know, as the
cry is dust" But once when l in
quired the man replied: "Well, I'm

The "dust-hoi" is serious person.
He never jokes with the scullery
maid, who regards him as being quite
lower in class than the cook, but
much above herself in social rank.
I wonder if dustmen usually marry
scullery maids. But am not able
to get statistics on this head.
Having collected my dust and pock-
eted my two nimble- pence, ''the

not unmusical call growing fainter
