When Aunt Belinda opened her door
the next morning and looked out upon
the dew-besprinkled landscape, spark

sun, she saw Moses Lipscomb standing
In front of the house. His hands were
In his pockets, his soft old hat was
stuck on the side of his head and near
him was black and white COW, con-

1t was nearly sunset, when, looking
toward the road that ran at the bot
tom of the little hill on which her
house stood. Belinda saw the tall form
of Aaron, driving a black and white
COW before him. He had discarded his
high silk hat for a straw one, but other
wise he was attired as in the morn
ing.
Now. denw he exclaimed, ten min
utes afterward ''wot Yer. tink of dat
keow, Sister Tinsley?, OATS a mon
stous fin keow wot l fotches yer"
Aunt Belinda looked approvingly at
the animal. How much milk do she
guv?" she asked.
Bout three gallon, 'jes' like cream"
"Whar you buy her, Brudder Aaron?"
'Didn' buy her." he answered. Il
done raise her. Had dat keow when
she were a littr cah'f. Lemme go put
her in de shed. Den we kin talk more
bout de bisness of de mornin'."
'S'ose you milks her fust, Brudder
Aaron, III go fotch pail. It's bout
milkin' time, an wants ter tas' her
milk" ~.
Involuntary Aaron glanced up and
down the road, and then he said:
dunno bout milkin' in my bes'
breeches, Sister Tinsley."
''Oh, you kin be keerful," said she,
sam wants ter tas' her milk" and she
went into the house for a pail.
Aaron was not a very rapid milker,
but in, the course of time he finished
and brought the pail to Belinda.
, "'Dat's not much milk" said She,
''look like yer keow done guy mos her
milk in de mornin."
Oats So" said Aaron, "jest' wait It'll
mornin' and yer sees de milk"
''All right" said Aunt Belinda, "you
kin tuck her to de shed an tie her up"
When Aaron came back he wanted
to sit down and talk matrimony. but
Belina would have none of it.
Use busy now," said she, Use got
ter iron Captain Cramps shirts. You
come in de mornin', Bruder Aaron,
arter ibreakfas' an den I'll talk bis
ness"
Got one job o. mill<in' out of yer,
anyway said she to herself as he de-
parted.
When Aaron was entirely out of sight
Aunt Belinda took the COW from the
shed and led her down to the old field
and left her near the fence which ran
by the road side. where there was
some grass growing in among the
bushes in the fence corners.
Very soon Moses Lipscomb appeared
upon the scene, dressed in his ordinary
clothes, tarnished, torn and easy of fit.
He was very warm and very much eX-
cited.
Look hyar, Aunt Blinda" said he,
dat ar long-legged brsck Aaron was
down at de stor' at de cross roads an
braggin dat ne was goin' ter marry

TIE SHADY SIDE OF 1894.

Some Statistics About Crime and Its In.
crease That Almost Takes Ones Breath
Away. "a.
From the Philadelphia Press
The mine of facts that the Chicago
Tribune includes in it's annual record
or lynchings, murders, suicides and en-
bezzlements for 1894 will furnish the
student of social subjects a century
hence with some of his most valuable
material. The statistics for the year
just past have a more than ordinary in
terest, as they make it possible to esti
mate in a crude way whether times of
depression in business are an induce
ment to crime. So far as the record Of
1894 has weight it will go to prove the
theory that adverse times are more fer
tile in crime than prosperous times, for
the number of murders, suicides and
embeZZlements all show a startling in
crease not only over last year but also
over any previous years record. This
would seem to strengthen the belief
that 1.-The devil finds some work for idle
hands to do"
Either past records have been incom-
plete or else the crime or murder was
unusually prevalent in 1894 There were
$500 murders reported, an incrase of
almost exactly so per cent. over the
previous year. This is a startling rec
ord. In 1898 there We're 6,615 murders
reported, 6,791 in 1892, and 5,9O6 in 1891.
Allowing for the increase in population
and the greater care taken in gathering
information, there is still a larger in
crease in the number of murders than
can be accounted for except by grow
ing propensity for this crime. The
causes of these murders appear in the
following table, quarrels maintaining
the lead, as they probably always have,
and the large number due to strikes

Number of Legal Executions.

The number of legal executions in the
year looks ludicrously small in compari-
son with the number of murders. There
were only 1872, which, while an increase
of six over the executions in 1893, bears
no comparison to the increase in mur-
ders. The doubtful honor of having the
largest number of hangings belongs to
Alabama, which had thirteen, Texas
and Missouri followed with nine each.
and Pennsylvania comes fourth with
eight hangings, while New York cleo
trocuted only two. Forty-one legal exc
cutions occurred in the North and 81 in
the South. Judging from the small pro-
portion that the legal executions bear to
the murders, that crime appears to be
one of the safest to commit. A mur-
derer had about one chance in seven
four of being legally executed, while
calculating the population of the coun-
try at 65,000,O00, every man, woman
and child ran one chance in 6,653 of be-
ing murdered, greater chance than H.
is comfortable to contemplate.
1t is not encouraging to know that
the lynchings exceeded the legal execu-
tions by nearly so per cent. The latter
numbered 1872, and the former 19O The
colored race furnished the lynchers
with more than two-thirds of their VIC
tins, 134 negroes having been lynched
and Sc white persons The South
lynched 166 persons, and the North "a,
or in the proportion of about seven in
the former neighborhood to one in the
latter Georgia saw the largest num-
Der of lynchings, twenty having oc-
CURED in that state, while Alabama
and Kentucky followed with nineteen
each. Mississippi had sixteen lynch
ings and Tennessee and Alabama fif-
teen each. Pennsylvania, to its shame
be 1t said, had one lyncfping. Only about
one-fifth of the 1ynchings of colored
men was due to the offense which has
been held up as an excuse for taking
summary vengeance on the perpetratOr.
A large number We're for such offenseS
as stealing and barn burning, showing
how rapidly the violation of the law In
one instance leads to other violations.
The total lynchings number ten less
than in 1893.
The Statistics Of Suicide.
Another proof that idleness leads to
crime is furnished by the increase in
the number of suicides. The total sui
oides in the country in 1894 were 4,912,
as compared with 4,4S6 i'm 1893 and
3, $50 in 1892. The causes were the same
and bear nearly the same proportion to
each other as in past years. They are

Some Of the First.

ne first boat was a log bestridden
by the navigator, who padded it with
stick. following the log with a
stone celt was tho next step.
The first tool made By human
hands was celt. or handleless axe
Of chipped stone. With ita man can
kill or skin game, hack wood or spike
an enemy
A handle put upon the celt trans
yersely makes it an axe; handle
longitudinally makes an arrow. The
bow, according to Prof. +. y. Cush-
ing, came long afterward.
The first house was a cave. Oh
that there can be no doubt. The
buildings Of to-day can be traced
through Greek and Roman sources
back to the Egyptian originals, which
again grow from the forms Of the an
elent rock temples.
The first horse had five toes and
mds about the size Of q fox. The mid
ile toe Is left. The others have per-
shed ffom lack OF use, though traces
or them are to be found in the
"splint" on the side Of o horse S leg
The first bridge was a footlog. A
handrail came next, then the rude
braces which made a larger span pos
sible. By the time Of Caesar, as
every schOolbOy knows, bridges had
become formidable structures.
