HumOr at Harrisburg.

Mr.. Quay has said some interest
ing things in his day, and has Psrpe-
trated an epigram or two of national
interest, but, says the Chicago Post.
he has never posed as humorist
either in the senate or in private life.
Yet the development of the conven-
ton at Harrisburg would indicate
that he knows humorous situation
when he sees it, and enjoys it too.
if he is the principal actor. There
was an element of humor in his ac-
ton in publicly shaking hands with
Gov. Hastings, and the governor,
who is not very humorous, blushed.
To this moment he cannot decide
whether Mr.. Quay was compliment
ing him for his services at Johnstown
or showing the world that he is
above kicking a man when he is
down. Then Mr.. Quay walked over
and borrowed light from the lieu
tenant of his arch political enemy.
and the convention would not have
been the least surprised had he
pulled out a cinar and given it to
Chris Magee, though the chances
are that it would have been loaded.

Tho Ball Nozzle.

According to Chief Bonner, the ball
nozzle which has excited so much inter
est throughout the country is destined to
work radical and highly beneficial
change in the system of fighting fire
Instead Of working ut distance with
straight streams, firemen, by using the
ball nozzle, can enter burning buildings
and work ut close range, thus not only
dong more effective work, but avertins
to q considerable extent the serious dam
age to interior property. and i'll many
cases this system will enable firemen to
save the lives of inmates of burning
buildings. The man who has given the
world an appliance of such value is Ger
tainly entitled to the gratitude Of hfs
fellow men.-New York Tribune.

CHINESE GORDON.

The Famous Enslishman's Resignation and
Prophetic Message to the kkedive.
A correspondent writing to The Scot
fish American says: One chilly morn
ing at Suez, III the winter of 1S79-sO,
l received message from Colonel Cor
don. He had just landed from Suakin,
and wished to see me. found him Seat
ed in q room at the old Suez hotel, with
his black secretary and trusty factotum,
Mohammed Ell Tohamy, and a few
friends, including the governor Of the
town.
Poor Mohammed Ell Tohamy, who was
destined to see his master fall at khar-
tum and probably shared his fate, was
looking cold and miserable. and no.
ticed he was slipping some hot mixture
of which the aroma did not seem fam
liar.
On my entering, Gordon exclaimed:

eralship of the Sudan and am return
ing to England. The khedive's ministers
dared to send me instructions, and so
have resigned Now, tell me honestly,
what will the world say of my work
in the Sudan after the years I have
spent there? What is the apparent re-
sult?'
said something to the effect that his
name would live and be remembered.
"Aye," he rejoined, ''but what visible
trace remains of my exile and labor? It
is now God s will that should abandon
my task, and there is absolutely moth
ing to show-nothing for the world to
gaze ut except"-he added this with n
curious smile and pointing to the shiv-
ering son of the tropics at the other side
of the table-''except, perhaps, that I
have taught my Mohammedan secretary
TO drink hot toddy at 10 in the morn

Certainly Gordon's work was not i'll
tended for show. At Alexandria he had
an audience with the late >khedive,
Tewfik Pasha, at which he rendered his
resignation, and then, removing his fez,
the badge of allegiance, addressed some

it was ever dispatched from Malta. In
any case, it was curiously prophetic

STRAIN ON THE EYES.
Children at School Arc Inclined to Have
"thc Academy Hcadache."

"thc Academy Headache"
One of the common causes of pain
above the brows is the overuse of the
eyes and the strain of accommodation
in constantly looking at near objects.
In its transient form it may be famil-
lar to some as the result of a visit to
a picture gallery, but in more senses
than one this may be known as "the
academy headache, - for if it is Temporal
rily developed in a morning spent at
Burlington House it is even more
readily excited and permanently estab.
lished among the children at the board
schools and the girls of the high schools.
Seventy-two per cent of the children of
today are said to be sufferers from de-
fective eyesight, generally in the direc-
ton of difficulty in seeing near objects
clearly. Headache is almost always pres
ent in the cases Of the poor little crea-
lures, whose bodies are starved while
Itheir minds are overfed in the scramble
for educational grants.
The ocular headache is often cock
istent with tho an@mic headache, espe-
cially IN growing girls. Here we find
frontal OF supraorbital pain due to eye
strain. associated with the vertical pain
felt all over the top Of the head, which
is characteristic ofbloodlcssness. Plenty
of wholesome food, fresh air and out OF
door exercise will help to combat the
an3mia, while the practice Of looking
at distant objects, and, alas TIE use Of
appropriate spectacleS may relieve the
headache Of eyestrain, but reading,
writing and sowing will permanently
damage the sight, SO that for the SAKE

CALIFORNIA vintage has begun.
and trustworthy estimates as to the
production are now available. In
every district the outlook is more
favorable than last year. The pro-
duction Of dry wine in the state will
be about 20 to rs per cent greater
than last year, and will be from
100000 to .1S,OO0,OOO gallons.
About 100000 gallons of sweet
wine will be produced. making a
total wine production in California
this year of about IL, 100000 gallons.
This is far short of the consumption
and much less than the production
OF 1898. so winemakers look for good
prices and prosperous times. The
average price for dry-wine grapes
will be about S15 a ton.

HANDLING BOA CONSTRUCTORS.
The Trick by Which the Serpents Are
Managed without Danger.

Snake dealers in South America have
a fine contempt for their squirming and
venoMous wares, though it is sometimes
difficult to induce ship captains to carry
them as freight. The snake dealers han
die the boa constructor with great deft-
ness This serpent bites, but his bite is
not venomous, so that the chief danger
to the handler is from the serpent's
enormously powerful muscles. The
dealers have learned that the boa, to be
really dangerous. must have fulcrum
in the shape Of something around which
he may coil his tail.
The boa is, in fact, a lever in which
the ordinary arrangement is power,
weight, fulcrum. Knowing this, the
dealers drop soft hat over his head,
that he may neither see nor bite, and
then snatch him so suddenly from his
resting place that he has no Opportunity
to brace himself by seizing fixed OBJ
ject with his tail. After that the essen
tial thing is to see that heis rot brought
within distance Of any such object.
A snake dealer on Q Brazilian steam
CT the other day was occupied in trans
ferring his boas from one box to anoth-
er. He opened the box an instant, drop
ped hat over the head of one of the
creatures, snatched it from its fellows,
and rushing across the deck dropped it
into the ether box. The thing looked so
easy that deck hand, waiting until the
snake owners back was turned, essayed
to repeat the act. He neglected to use
the hat, and with yell yanked a great
snake from the box with its fangs fixed
in his fingers. Not daring to let go, yet
fearing to hold on, he began whirling
the snake about his head, meanwhile
dancing madly over the deck. The snake
man managed to capture the reptile and
box it in security. Then somebody ex-
pressed concern for the rash deck hand,
to which the snake owner answered:
"What, him? He's all right. But
think Of my snake! It's worth 20 of that
mug !'-New York Sun.

licanism who discouraged the con-
struction OF more vessels. A new

THE CITY,.

The iilacs In my garden blow.
Wide meadows ring my garden round.
In that green wood wild violets grow
And pale frail cuckoo flowers are found.
For all you see and all You hear
The city might be miles away,
And vet You feel The city near
Through all the quiet OF the day.
Sweet smells the earth, new washed with rain.
Wet leaves gIeam in the moonlight pale,
And In the wood behind the lane
hear the hidden nightingale.
Though field and wood about me lie,
Soft hushed in dewy deep delight,
Yet can hear the city sigh
Through all the silence Of the night.
For me the slsylark nests and sings;
For me the vine her garland weaves;
The swallow folds her glossy wings
To build beneath my cottage caves.
But can feel the giant near,
Can hear all day his sad slaves weep,
And when at last the night is here
hear him moving in his sleep.
oh, for little space of ground,
Though never a flower should make it CAV.
Where miles of meadow Tapped me round
And leagues and leagues of silence lay!
Oh, for a wind dashed, treelesS down,
A black night and n lonely way,
A silence deep enough to drown
The voice that mocks me night and day!
