"Got a chance for me, sir?" he
asked, timidly.
''No, my boy" answered the Secre-
tary. mo one wants boys ye."
The lad made no answer. His weak,
dragging footsteps carried him out of
the building and down the hot street
for few blocks. Then he staggered
a few steps, threw up his hands weak
ly, wavered blindly and fell in a
heap on the pavement.
"Another sunstroke," said the po.
liceman who picked him up.
Next day another boy came to the
Secretary's Office with the question,

remarkable deposit of sodium in some

1t has been learned by experiments
made at the gypsy-moth station at
Maiden, Mass, that the Paris green,
London purple, and arsenic with which
the trees and bushes have been sprayed
does not kill the moths, but, on the
contrary, they thrive and grow fat
upon it. 1t would appear from this
that the work of the Massachusetts,
commission during the last years has
served to propagate moths instead Of
exterminating them.

One of the strangest cofflns ever
told of is that for which the British
War Department is said to be respon-
sible. The story is that workman
engaged il casting metal for the man
ufacture of ordnance at the Woolwich
Arsenal lost his balance and fell into
3 caldron containing twelve tons of
molten steel. The metal was at white
heat, and the man was utterly con-
sumed in less time than it takes to tell
of it. The War Department authori-
ties held a conference and decided not
to profane the dead by using the
metal in the manufacture of ordnance,
and that mass of metal was actually
buried and a Church of England
clergyman read the service fer the
dead over it.

The hanson cab will, in the opin-
ion of members of the cab fraternity,
eventually give place to the bicycle,
except that in this case the bicycle is
to be a tricycle., states the Chicago
Times-Herald. The vehicle will have
two seats, one for the driver and one
for the passenger. This will save the
expense of keeping a horse and give
tho cabman needed exercise. 1t is
conceivable that two sets of pedals
might be provided and reduced rates
given to sturdy passengers who would
help push themselves.

Knucks had sat down, and for a mo-

"Hang tickets! !" cried Mr.. Joplin.

which surmouuts the tower OF the
Philadelphia City Hall faces the old
Penn Treaty Park. This displeases
the citizens who get only a rear or

has proposed to put the statue on a
revolving pedestal, which will be
turned around once every twenty.four
hours by means of clockwork.

And winter skies are gray.

Unto the poor dispenseth bread
And bids their hunger cease.

A FAILURE.-Henry Jackson, the
colored man who undertook to fire an
engine on the Virginia Midland Rail
way Thursday night, proved a failure
in that capacity before the train had
proceeded twenty miles from this city.
At Manassas Junction his inefficiency
WAS so apparent that it was necessary
to telegraph to this city for another
man. Jackson, for some reason, was
unable to keep steam on the engine.
The attempt to replace the white fire.
men with colored men is the subject OF
much comment, especially in railroad
circles. Some contend that the move
ment is intended for a menace to the
white firemen and to prevent strikes,
while Others believe it is the policy OF
the present management to employ
colored fremen and brakemen on all
the lines of the Southern Railway
system. On most of the roads south OF
Danville colored men are now employed
in such work. Another colored man was
sent out this morning as fireman. He
sucoumbed before the train reache q
Burke's station and his place had to be
filled by brakeman.
