uses his brain makes little noise. 'Tis
the brass that is sonorous: and when a

noise he makes is largely echoes from

Money, which is the ''root Of all evil"
is perhaps used less and less every year.
Checks, bills OF exchange, etc, are
gradually taking its place, to a consider
able extent. Vast amounts Of money
are thus transferred from one pocket to
another, and from one part of the world
to another, without single genuine
dollar leaving its place.

river Death. Mrs. Lyons was a chris
tian lady and kind and sympathizing

Telcgraphing by Telephone.

1t was monday in busy down town of
flee, and reporter was awaiting the re-
turn of the manager, when the pretty
stenographer went to the telephone, and
after the usual parlcy with Central, called
Hello Charley! Are you busy just
now"
Apparently Charley was not, for she con-
tinued, "Oh, yes, had II lovely time, but
don't you think"-
Here there came a strange pause, and
with pencil she tapped idly on light
piece of board which she had taken from
her desk and was holding before the trans
mitter
"A case of wait q minute" thought
the cavesdropper alphabetically; but the
pretty girl spoke again, with a laugh:
81 don't believe it, for heard"-
Then she began tapping on the board
again. Then the reporter caught on. She
was telegraphing. So when she returned
to her desk he remarked, 81 notice you
have an original method of telephoning."
"Oh, did you see that? Well, I'll tell
you about it, but you must not give it
away. You see | can't use the telephone
here without every one in the room hearing
what | say, and they do say that those
girls in the central Office listen to the con-
veTsations over the wire, and, as Charley
and | are both telegraphers, we invented
this method of conversing by telephone.
Isn't it great scheme? Not one in the
Office understands it,"
But young man at an adjacent desk
worked a sounder in pantomime and
winked at the reporter. He, too, under
stood telcgraphy. Herald.

The "NIiracuIous" or ''Holy Thorn"

At Glastonbury abbey in Somersetshire,
England, once stood a thorn tree which it
is said bloomed every Christmas morning.
The first authentic account of it ever writ
ten was in 1I72 by Mr. Eyston, who tells
of it in the account of his visit to the alb
hey. The keeper assured Mr.. Eyston that
ST. Joseph Of Arimathea landed not far
from the town, at a place where there was
formerly an oak that had been planted to
his memory; that he and his companions
marched to hill and rested themselves,
and that Joseph stuck his staff in the
ground
Now, this staff was common dry haw-
thorn stick, but it grew and first came into
full flower on Christmas day. Afterward
the tree, which had thus grown and budded
like Aaron's rod always bloomed on the
day of Our Lord nativity and upon no
other day, the flower, like that of the night
blooming cereus, lasting but few hours.
Many queer stories have been told of the
miraculous Thorn of Glastonbury" 1t
was said that if the chips from it were
planted they would sprout and grow like
potatoes; that the leaves cured all infam-
nations, swellings, etc, and that rods"
cut from it would never leave marks on the
children corrected by their use-St. Louis

A Cry That Nwoke Lament.

1t was my privilege, never to be forgot
ten to be shown as wildly as in a mirror
II glimpse Of Washington on the morning
after Lincoln's assassination; in the graph
iC, burning narrative of one who at dawn
took up his station at a street corner, a
block or two from the house where Lin
coin lay. The whole city, he said, was
under such u strange and awful spell of
silence that it might have been the dawn
of the great last Dies Irip, with mankind
crOuching for sentence before its Judge
There was no sound of wheels or traffic:
no uplifting OF any human voice. footsteps
moved with that faltering lightness they
know in the chamber of the dead At the
long last there came Il mutfled tramp
tramp-tramp-eve step of which seemed
to tread down mems hearts Among it's
guardian soldiery, wrapped in the flag,
Lincoln's body was borne along, and still
that awful, lowering silence; no breath;
no cry. And suddenly one voice-a mans
voice, with II wall in it of wrenching agony,
cried so loud and so clear that it seemed
the cry rung out to the confines of the
word-"Dead! Dead! And the American
flag around him! Godl Cod"
And with that cry it seemed the city
awolo from it's frozen silence, and was
vocal with the sound of one vast lament

range an encounter On the stroke of M

THAT 5ROTiER OF MINE.

Who is it comes in like a whirlwind
And closes the doors with a slam,
And, before he has taken his hat off,
Calls out for some bread and some jam?"
Who is it that whistles so loudly
AS he works at some taugle of Irvine
That will send Ills kite up into cloudland?
Why, Of course it's that brother of mine
Who is it that, when am weary,
Has always a hole in his coat.
A button to sew on in hurry,
A sail to be made for boat?
Who is it that keeps in my basket
His marbles and long fishing line,
And expects, undisturbed, there to find
them2
No one else but that brother of mine.
Who is 1t that tiptoes about softly,
Whenever I'm sick or in pain,
And is every minute forgetting
And whistling some head splitting strain?
Who is it that when he is trying
To be just as still as he can,
Is always most terribly noisy?
My brother, of cOurse-he's the man.
Who is it I'd rather have by me
When in need of a true, honest friend;
Who is it that l shall miss sadly
When his bOyhood has come to an end?
And when Lie is far from the old home,
And long for a glimpse Of sunshine,
Whom then do you think | shall send for2
Why, of course, for that brother of mine.

POROUS ELEPHANTS HIDE.
The Big Creatures Suffer Terribly fro
Attacks of Voracious Flies

The Big Creatures Suffer Terribly from
Attacks of VOracious Flies.
The elephant is formed for dignity and
in his wild state his every motion expresses
it. He holds his head up, so that his trunk
when dropped at full length does not touch
the ground; his ears are particularly ele-
waited and move freely, and he looks every
inch monarch; but humbled by captivity
he hangs his head so that he has to curl
up the end of his trunk to keep it off the
ground his ears hang limp and listless,
and he has Il way of gathering up straw
Gn.i j'C and spreading it over the top of
l. - HNd back till he looks perfectly
IT, '..H numbering fool, very king of
r.@,.,.3.
"'ia.i silly looking habit" said keep
er, has its cause. Elephants are subject
to sunstroke. That may seem untruthful
to say about an animal which lives in the
hottest part of Asia and Africa; but re-
member he lives there in leafy forests, well
shaded, and when captured and made to
work in the sunshine or stand in it for eX-
hibiton his head should be covered or he
suffers from headache; so he generally COW
ers it himself
Files bother an elephant" continued
possible when you consider the thickness
of his skin. Did you ever examine an ele-
plant skin closely? | dare say not. You
are like the Sunday school boy whose
teacher asked the class if they had ever
seen an elephant skin. Yes said one boy.
: Where, Johnny asked the teacher, in
credulously 'On the elephant yelled
Johnny in triumph. You, too, have only
seen it on the owners back at a distance.
"But if you had examined one closely
you would see that the pores are as big in
proportion as the hide is thick, and big
mosquito can run his saw into one of these
big tunnels as easily as hummingbird
can run his long bill and tongue into the
funnel shaped honeysuckle. | have seen a
big elephant all dotted with his own blood
and mad as IL hornet from these tiny pests
and from flies which lay their eggs under
his skin. That's why elephants like to
roll in the mud and fill up their pores with
it."-New York Tribune.

Settling family quarrcls in a household
like that Of Bidel, the French lion tanner,
was no trifling matter. One day i'll the
midst of an exercise by the wild animals
the polar bear became angry and attacked
an inotfensive elephant.
The elephant showed no surprise, but
prepared to destroy his assailant. Bidel,
however, FASTENED to interpose. The bear
released the elephant, and hugging Bidel in
his long arms began to strangle him. But
for his wonderful self possession Bidel
would have been lost,
He had stout, solid fists, and he pounded
them on the bear's nostrils until the animal
relaxed his grip. Then he wrcnched him
self free and gave the bear vigorous beat
ing with u stout stick. In II few moments
all was quiet again.-Youth's Companion.
