FACTS ABOUT TOPS.

Now that the top season is in full
swing it may interest the boys to
know that nearly all the tops they
spin are made in Pennsylvania. In
one town in that state there is n
factory which employs over 200
hands. Tops are made OF boxwood,
maple and lignum vitae. Taking all
kinds of tops together, "A larger num-
ber of maple are sold than Of either
Of the other woods; lockwood comes
next, and next lignum vitae; but in
the aggregate amount OF sales OF each
kind the lockwood tops are first, the
maple next and the lignum vitae
last. Not many lignum vitae tops
are sold, on account OF their cost.
The lignum vitae tops are sold more
in the South and in the Northwest
than in other parts of the country.
1t may be Of interest to note that
most of the iron pegs used in peg
cops are cast in Newark, n. j.

leaves. And all night long the leaves
dreamed OF them.
The children came again next day
but one of them was missing. Then
the leaves said: Where is the little
one of the gold curls and rosy
cheeks?"
The children answered: "She has
gone away and will never play with
us again.
Then the wind, in passing over the
beautiful valley, remembered the
children and the leaves, and it came
down and kissed the children and
took the leaves away.
And "Oh" cried the leaves, as
the wind bore them along, "Oh
that we might have fingered in the
valley with the children, for now We
may never see them again. -
But the wind did not answer. 1t
only sighed and bore the leaves away.
why is the wind SO gentle and so
sorrowful?" the leaves asked one Of
another. But the wind did not
answer. 1t only sighed and bore

to new-made grave. And then 1t
paused and let the leaves fall gently
and tenderly upon it, until it was
transformed into couch OF gold.
Then the wind sang low, soft,
sorrowful song, and kissed the leaves
goodby.
And the wandering leaves were
sorrowful, and they said This is
the place whore the little lost child
is sleeping. The wind stole her away
from us yesterday, and it has hidden
her here. 1t has sung her to sleep.
Let us hide the gold curls and rosy
cheeks forever, away from the wind
and rain -
And all the winter long the kind
leaves lay and dreamed there, until
the spring came and decked the little
grave with violets. s. Frank l.. Stan

The Wives Of Two Noted Painters.

Titian's greatest misery was his
wife, who was a domineering, dicta-
torial woman who insisted that he
should render an account 10 her OF
every item of his expenditures. The
wretched man, who was very wealthy,
was often put TO the sorest straits TO
buy a glass Of wine without letting
his wife know anything about the
transaction. Berghem, the Dutch
painter, had a scolding wife. He was
lazy, and she was thrifty and insist
ed that he should keep at work. His
studio was over the kitchen, and
from time TO time Frau Berghem
pounded the ceiling with a pole she
kept for that purpose. and Berghem
responded by stamping 10 assure her

JACK RABBITS IN A FIGHT.
The Fur Flew I'm Reality and Both of
the Combatnuts Died.

A San Francisco man recently received
two consignments of jack rabbits from the
country. They We're to be used for cours-
Ing purposes. but having come from differ
ent localities. the two tribes were continu-
ally at war. An observer. in telling a re-
porter for the Call about one battle royal.
said:
I'VE were chatting over the prospects of
the next days coursing and commenting on
the weather when a Jack was seen cross
Ing the field in the direction of the escape
with another jack in hot pursuit At first
thought some stray dog had got into the
field at the south end and was driving the
mares toward the breeding paddock Sud
denly hare No. l turned in its track and
dashed at its pursuer They telescoped, so
10 speak, and then the fight was on. You
should have been there to see the fur fly
There was no fake about this match: 1t was
for blood and fur. The rabbits rolled into
the mud after the first charge, and as they
regained their pins they rose quickly on
their hind feet and slashed at each other
with their front paws in a manner that
would have made champions of the prize
ring feel as if they were as slow as a snail
in their movements. | positively never have
seen such fierce fighting. At each stroke
the fur would be seen to fly in punches,
and the blows, if they can be termed as
such. were fast and furious. After a min
ute's contest the pursued hare made an eff
fort to run, but it badly crippled
that it lost its equilibrium and fell in the
slush, where it received still further punish
ment from its opponent. We thought that
the Jig was up with No. l, and moved slow
ly toward the spot where the conflict had
taken place. When within fifty yards of
the fighting quadrupeds the hare we sup
posed was dead or dying leaped to his feet
and fought more viciously than ever. The
contest did not continue much longer, as
the hare which had challenged it's opponent
fell back If hit with leaden pellets and
lay apparently dead on the field of battle.
After driving the successful competitor
away and picking up the PROSTATE animal
we found that both of its eyes were COM
pletely destroyed and its face horribly LAGER
ated. We easily captured the 'conquerng
hero and had the two little puCilsts cared
for as well as circumstances would permit
but they were too severely punished to sur
vive their wounds, and that evening the
proprietor of the park found himself minus
two of his imported flyers'-they had kick

But There Was n Sad Blunder in Her
Arrangements for Charity.
From the Boston Globe.
My journalistic friend on the Beacon tells
this story:
A dignified and elderly spinste- who sits
at an editorial desk in town, was asked by
the manager of her paper the other day If
she knew of any poor but deserving person
who would like pair of his discarded trou-
sers. and replied that her furnaceman
would doubtless hail them with joy. Ac-
cordingly, a morning or two later she found
on her desk a brown paper parcel labeled
plainly: "Old trousers for Miss VS. fur
naceman." At night she carried the parcel
home in her hands, together with another
smaller package.
Sitting in the trolley car between a cou-
pie of gentlemen, she noticed that one of
them seemed to be much amused about
something in her lap.
What was her horror and disgust, on lock-
ing down, to observe that she had partly
covered the larger parcel with the smaller,
concealing the last part of the inscription.
SO that it read in bold black script: "Old
trousers for Miss w" giving her name in
full.
