In George washington,s Arms.

In DR.. Mines volume of reminis-
cences, " A Tour Around New York. 3"
the author devotes a paragraph to the
attractions of Battery park and adds a
pleasing little story of time before his
own:
l remember a dear old lady who
loved to talk about this park and tell of
the people she had met here and the
scenes she had witnessed, and of these
one man and one mornings adventure
stood out most prominent.
A little thing in white, her nurse had
brought her to the park to witness a
civic ceremony, and the crowd prevent
ed her from obtaining good view OF
the pageant.
AS with child's impatience che tried
to press through the throng tall and
handsome elderly gentleman, clad in a
suit of black velvet and with dress
sword at his side, stopped down to her,
inquired pleasantly about her trouble
and then lifted her upon his shoulder
and held her there until the procession
had passed.
Delighted with what she saw, the
child thought little about the gentleman
who had brushed away her trouble, but
thanked him when he released her with
kiss and set her down upon the ground.
As he moved away the nurse in an awe
struck voice asked the child if she knew
whose arms had held her and then told
her that it was President Washington.
The little eyes watched him out of sight
and never forgot his stately appearance,
l think dear old Mrs. Atterbury was
prouder of having been the heroine Of
this incident than of all the social hon
ors that afterward fell to her lot

The leaf and stem of a nettle are lit
erally clothed with erect hollow hairs.
If one of these hairs is viewed under a
microscope, it will be seen that its free
end, after tapering to very fine degree
Of slimness, finishes as little knob,
while in the other direction, after grad
ually becoming more robust, it suddenly
expands into large bulb, corresponding
with the poison gland of the adder.
The point of the hair is very brittle,
and contact with our skin causes the end
to snap off, leaving hollow needle point
which readily pierces our cuticle, and
pressing upon the bulb at the other end
the poison is forced through the central
channel and infames our blood. The
tender handed who stroke the nettle are
stung for their pains, because their gen.
tleness has only served to break the brit
tie points and rendering them fit for
piercing, but the rough handed break
the hairs at their thickest parts, where
they are too stout to prick.-Good
Words.

maine burns more irewood to keep
warm winters than any other eastern
Itate, says a Maine man who has been
In the business. The wood is of better
nuality and makes better ashes than can
be collected in Massachusetts or New
Hampshire, and there's sharp demand
for Maine ashes in the middle and
southern states for agricultural pur-
poses. Great quantities are used In
Massachusetts, also. There are num-
Der of dealers in Boston who make a
business of collecting ashes through
Maine for shipment. Carloads and car
loads of them go out of the state by rail
yearly. and shiploads are sent to Florida
and Georgia, where they want the best
hard wood article. They send north phos-
phate rock, and we send them ashes,
and the trade is benefit to both sec
tons.
There are some parts of Maine de-
nominated prime by the dealers, be-
cause they are in hard wood, maple and
birch regions and do not burn much soft
wood. In some of these localities there
is a sharp competition in the business.
Leached ashes from the potash and soap
factories used to be shipped mostly, but
they've gone out, and dry ashes are
wanted. So much is this the case that
one potash man knew, dishonest fell
low, dried his leached ashes and shipped
them as unleached. The potashes and
local soap factories of Maine are run
under by the demand for dry ashes and
are going out of business. Probably the
day is not far distant when dealers in
Portland, Bangor and other Maine
towns will look after this trade and do
the shipping direct from Maine ports to
the southern states. There is large
profit in it, if l am not mistaken. -

The taste for short stories, in place Of
the ancient three volume novel, has been
cultivated even in conservative England
and has become so widespread in the
United States that very few periodicals
which deal in fiction at all are without
their stories begun and finished in sin
gle issue. The talent required to pro-
duce a fascinating and successful fiction
in this narrow compass is peculiar one,
and while there are numerous failures
there are also a surprising number of
successes. Well written, descriptive ar
ticles, too, are in demand, and special
cravings for personal gossip and lively
sketches of notable living characters are
manifest. That perennial interest which
mankind and womankind evince in ev-
ery individual whose name, for whatev-
er reason, has become familiar supplies
a basis for an inexhaustible series of
light photographic articles.-New York
Journal.
