THE formulation of a superior court,
says the Harrisburg Patriot, amounts to
a political crime There is no necessity
for it. 1t is useless and extravagant
There has never been any combination
of circumstances which could be con
strued in a demand for an additional
court. No set of men have ever made
themselves so valuable to the state as to
be supplied with such fat berths at the
expense of the people. The superior
court is NEARLY a treasury parasite. 1t
was created essentially as such, and if
approved at all as such, it will be consti-
tuied and such it will always remain.

A QUEER HOUSEHOLD PET.

Is fed by the children of the household,
and the ugly monster takes great pleas
ure in sleeping in his tank at the top OF
the house, for it must be known that
the alligator is safely lodged in an iron
tank whose top is heavily Gagged over
with steel wires.
just how long Mr.. Alexander will be
able to keep his monster pet the people
in his neighborhood are trying to guess.
If Mr. Alligator should break loose
some fine night there would be plenty
of excitement in that New York fat,
you can be sure of that.
But up to the present moment both
the alligator and Mr.. Alexander's fami-
ly of boys and girls are doing nicely
and all goes well. One thing is certain:
when the clumsy pet of this home dies
or is killed, there will be fine, large
piece of alligator skin to be made up
into chair seats and slippers for all who
are interested in the big animal on the

Real bravery shown by Them In vsrv
Trying Circumstances.
A very interesting tale of devotion N
told of two storlSs, birds that are noted
ly fond of their young. During q
storm barn in the village of Lowen.
berg was set on fire by lightning, and
a nest containing two baby storlSs was
threatened by the flames. The par
ents viewed the scene from q distance
In great CONSERVATION, and after lit
tie deliberation the motherhood took
wing, darted into the nest, and selling
one of the little birds in her beak, car
ried It off to a neighhoring field.
The father flew down to the little one,
and mounted guard while the mother
returned for the other. When she ar
rived the flames were enveloping the
nest, and the young storlI fell through
the charred wood into the burning
barn below. Nothing daunted, the
mother dashed through smoke and fire,
and returned bearing her second little
stork in her beak. and then she few
away.
The next day some people in an ad.
jacent village discovered a wounded
btork. She was unable to stand, and
on examining her, both legs were
found to be badly burned. This was
the brave storlx which had rescued her
children. The bird was removed to
the Rathaus, and the burgomaster
provided a bed for it, and called In the
physician, who attended the wounds.
In the meantime the male stork ascer-
tanned her place of refuge, and paid
her daily visits to inquire for hex con-
dition, and to bring reports, after his
own fashion, of the young. The school
children brought her food, the physi-
clan treated her every day, until she
recovered. Finally, one bright morn
ing, she flew away with her devoted
husband.

up the conversation, much to the sur
prise of the little shopkeeper, who had
thought it finished. that in one corner
there was Marie, Roma, Do you know
anything of that signature?"
''Oh! Most certainly! The piece was
from Rome" he answered; but
Marie! No, do not know that Per-
haps the wrapper it came in would be
some aid. Did you notice it. sir?"
mo, did not" said Frederick, as if
ready to take himself to task for a
complete stupid. II will look it up.
Thank YOU" And he hurried out of
the shop just as the next customer en-
tered.
Once more in his library, he fumbled
in the waste-paper basket till the
screen wrappings came to hight. Yes,
there was the importers address, as
clear as crystal, on the quadrangular
bit of blue paper ia one corner: &C.

1t was an easy thing for this wealthy
young bachelor to leave his home to his
mother and make one of his quick
trips to Europe. Nobody questioned;
nobody commented. and everybody
wished they could do the same. Three
weeks later and Frederick was in

lete little byways and looking up the

Doc Transfers His Custom.

A Philadelphia dog used to be sent by
his master every morning with a penny
in his mouth to purchase a bun for
breakfast He had continued to do this
for some time, when the baker, having
changed his helper, the dog was I'M
needed. The dog thereupon ran to the
baker, laid the penny at his feet and
barked loudly at the assistant. The
baker explained matters, but the assist
ant. surly fellow, took it in bad part,
and next time the dog appeared he Sc
lected a very hot bun and gave it to
him. The animal, as usual, seized the
bun, but finding it too hot to hold, no
dropped it. He tried it again; again it
burned him. At length, as if guessing
the trick, he caught up the penny and
ran off to another bakers shop in the
neighborhood. No amount of coaxing
could ever get him to return.

emperor were wont TO remain after his

CANINE LIFE SAVER.
How Newfoundland Dog Rescued Eight
Shipwrecked Mariners.

How a Newfoundland Dog Rescued Fig hit
shipwrecked Mariners.
Some years ago a vessel was driven
on the beach of Lydd, in Kent, Eng
land. The sea was rolling furiously.
Eight poor fellows were crying for
help; but boat could not be got off
through the sea to their assistance, and
they were In constant peril, for any
moment the ship was in danger of sink
ing. At length a gentleman came
along the beach accompanied by his
Newfoundland dog. He directed the
animals attention to the vessel and
put short stick in his mouth. The
intelligent and courageous dog sprang
into the sea and fought his way through
the angry waves toward the vessel. He
could not, however, get close enough
to deliver that with which he was
charged; but the crew understood what
was meant, and they made fast rope
to another piece of wood, and threw it
toward him. The noble animal at once
dropped his own piece of wood and inn
mediately seized that which had been
thrown to him, and then with a degree
of strength and determination scarcely
credible, for he was again and again
lost under the waves-he dragged it
through the surge, and delivered it to
his master. A line of communication
was thus formed with the vessel, and
every man on board was rescued.-Our

NOTES FOR WOMEN.

JOHN HUNTER, the famous anetomist,
once said that the feminine love of con-
versation was consequence of a pecul-
iarity in brain tissue.
AS ARTISTS, women have shown moro
taste than originality. They paint
landscapes and portraits beautifully,
but rarely achieve great pictures.
The brain of woman is absolutely
smaller than that Of man, but is stated
to be somewhat larger in proportion to
the weight of the body.
A WOMAN with a military nose and
prominent chin is certain to make her
mark. All female society leaders have
had such facial peculiarities.

Blossom is big gray cat. She has
been in the family for seven years, and
her mistress thinks she was fully ten
when she came unlimited and took pos
session. Her char .nN made her welcome,
and visitors, as a run, pet her to her
hearts satisfaction. Still, she shows
her loyalty to her mistress by many fe-
line felicities. One day a young man
came for short visit. He was an in
veterate tease. AS there was no one
else for q victim, he took Blossom in
hand, in spite Of pleadings and protes-
tations. Her ears were greeted with
the strange terms, "Old rascal. Escape
grace" Tramp" and kindred names,
until the astounded cat did not know
what had come to her. Her pretty
ways disappeared, she fled from his ap-
proach, and hid whenever she could till
he was out of the honse. One morning
she was missing for some hours, and
was not to be found in any of her hid
ing places. A loud cry from the cham
berlnaid revealed her whereabouts.
Blossom had revenged herself on the
visitors nightshirt, which lay in tatters
on the floor. Pussy was scolded, and
everyone was cautioned to keep the
door shut. In .vainl The cat would
find her way in and hide till the cham
bermaid was through for the day, and
then the claws went to work, first on
the visitors own clothes if any could be
found, and then on the pillow cases.
The young man tried to soothe her feel
ings, but she would have none Of him,
and he was glad to cut short his visit.
Blossom quickly recovered her usual
demeanor, and has never been known
to destroy anything from that day to
this.-Boston TRANSCRIPT.
