Where He'll is Popular.

A patron of the Windsor re>
peated a good story last evening
that was originally related by
DR.. Hayes, the Arctic explorer,
who died several years ago. DR..
Hayes told the story as an Incl
dent that occurred during his
voyage to Greenland in search
of the north pole. According to
the narrator, DR.. Hayes used to
sit at one end of his boat, and as
he sat there reading he often
raised his head and by looking
out through a little glass that
was used to admit light, he could
see a small village of Eskimo
clad in their furs and skins aud
living in their little huts. Al
though not particularly a religi>
Gus man, the more DR., Hayes
thought about the poor, benight-
ed inhabitants of that dreary re-
gion, the more he thought some
thing should be done for them,
and they should be told what
Christianity was doing for the
world, and what it would like
wise do for them. So, one day,
The concluded to address them on
the subject, and going ashore he
gathered them around him. He
told them that if they were good
they would 60 to heaven, where's
as if they were bad, and made
holes i'll other peoples canoes, or
stole their paddles or blubber, Or
did something equally as bad
they would 60 to the other place.
| The natives asked him repeat
edly what kind of place heaven
Twas, and he at last told them that
it was place where there were
lgolden streets, and where they
could play on their harps, and
"tom tons" all day. They shook
their heads at that, and then
wanted to know what kind of a
place the other was. "Oh," said
the doctor, otis a place where
the fire is kept burning all the
time, and where" But before
he could say anything further
the freezing natives shouted
"That's the place for us" The
doctor did not attempt to do any
more missionary work among
the natives ofGreenland.

Fishing Made Easy.

The New Orleans Picayuuf
tells of patent granted to a
Chicago genius on fishing pole
that is calculated to cause the
disciples of Isaac Walton to shed
tears of joy. This great labor
saving device, according to the
description given it by our COM
temporary, consists of a rod and
holder cooked and poised upon a
strong spring.
In this position it may be left
upon the shore by itself, after
the owner has baited the hook
and cast it into the water. When
a fish sees the bait the tug it
gives the line opens the trigger
and the fish is jerked ashore aud
landed high and dry by the I'M
coiling of the spring. This is a
great invention, and at once re-
moves fishing from the list OF
laborious occupations, and makes
it nothing but pastime. 1t will
commend itself to those who
want to fish and sleep at the
same time. With the new patent
Chicago pole, after they have
baited and set the pole, their duty
will be done. The pole and the
fish will do the rest.

CONVERTED THE OLD MAN.
lust A MADE UP YARN WITHOUT
A WORD OF TRUTH IN 1T.

"What are you crying about
noW7" asked old man Buster, as
he came upon his daughter
stretched out on a couch, reading
from a book, as the tears poured
down her cheeks. "That's one
of the most threatening evils
among the girls of the rising
generation. Got their noses in a
novel half the time, narrowing
up their feelings, inaaming their
imagination, getting false views
of life aud filling their minds
with false sentiments. If l had
my way I'd lease some remote
of prairie land and make a bon
fire of all the novels in the civil
lied world. 1t would be the
grandest OF reforms and the offer
ing of sweet incense Stop that

are reading"

give heard tell of it. Just q
made up yarn and without a
word of truth in it. and yet you
lie there crying over it. Haven't
you mind enough of your own to
realize that you're fascinated
about something that never hap
pened and weeping over people
that never existed Let me see
the trash"
Buster took the condemned
novel, which happened to be
open just where Lizzie Hexaln
was having the Stormy scene
with the schoolmaster and part
ing with her angry brother
Charley to be led away by the
good old Riah. The pathos en-
bodied in this part Of the story is
by no means the best sample OF
that article offered by Dickens,
but it wrought strongly upon
the susceptible nature of Buster.
"Oh, that cur, Id like to get at
that young cub with horse
whip. Confound the rascal; has
he no heart, no gratitude7''
These were some of Busters ex
carnations and there were other
things said under his breath that
it is just as we'll not to repeat.
Then his, handkerchief came in
to requisition, his nose became
red and his eyes watery. When
his daughter laughed at him he
told her that her levity was en>
tirely out of place in connection
with such outrageous treatment
of a noble woman. He kept the
book, went to his room, and
when Buster was called for break
fast next morning he did not
have to dress nor did his bed
have to be made,

GIVE THE BOY LAND.

Every boy that lives on a farm
and every girl too, for that mat
ter, should have the use of a
piece Of ground. 1t need be only
small, out-of the way corner at
first, a place for the child to dig
and make plans, increasing grad
ually to the acre of corn Or pota-
toes or turnips or whatever it
may be, as the child grows older.
There are few farms that could
not spare it, and few children to
whom it would not be a benefit.
Books and magazines and
games are good but they are for
the mind, and the leisure hours;
and while they may keep the
children at home, they can
scarcely roster taste tor farin>
ing without something to sup,
pliment them.
A child early learns the mean
ing of possession, and a few
square rods of his own will be
more to him than the broad acres
of his father. Many a boy has
grown to manhood On the farm,
and left it at the earliest possible
moment after he became of age
because he had been made a mere
machine-a laborer without a
laborer's waSes.-EaeAaxge.

DRINKS WERE SOLD IN RAINES LAW DIN
ING-ROoMs WITHOUT EVEN A SANDWICH.
There has been no lack OF interpretations OF the
excise law. Every Distrct-Attomey Office In
the State is responsible for at least one luminous
and vouminous construction OF the statute whereby
We may eat drink and be merry on every day OF
the week There Is striking unanmlty, too in
these legal opinions. From Buffalo TO Albany and
from New-york to Ogdensburg It seems be de-
cided that hotel proprietors may serve any sort Of
beverage to their guests at any hour OF any day In
the week. provided they also serve II meal with II.
Notwithstanding this apparent ucldty there has
been a grave doubt in the popular mind as 20 what
constituted square meal within the meaning OF
the statute. and through wha; kind Of ceremony
initiation one must needs pass to make him
struc;vcly a hotel guest
In tie hope OF solving these questions two report
ers started out Sunday night ct 1880 o'clock and
visited six hotels between CITY Hail and the Bridge
entrance. The first entered entirely dark

which had lately been lettered: Hotel entrance.

away In two minutes he was back with the bev-
erase, received his % cents and hurried away
TO another table. In the fifteen minutes spent In
tails place at least one hundred drinks served
and less than half dozen sandwiches seen.
In the next hotel visited the same pantomme was
enacted. Nothing which by any stretch OF the
imagination could be called a meal IN sight or
served In the quarter OF an hour spent there. But
there were drinks galore In only OF the hotels
visited were sandwiches necessary. and in that
place nothing except Decent drinks were served.

and whiskey were sold at the same price.

SAYS HE WAS FALSELY ARRESTED.

The action brought by John II. Hurst against
Herman Sacks. optician In lower Fulton-st. TO
recover 5000 damages for alleged SANDER and false
Imprisonment tried in the Supreme Court yes
terday before Justice Clement and jury. and
sealed verdict Will be given this morning. Hurst
alleges that he and plumber named Napier worked
together but tina. In June. 1894. they had nothing
TO do. Napier went to Sacks and asked him for
work. Sacks told him that he could give him moth
ing to do but that he had junk which he would
dispose of for 81. Anything more than that which
Ma pier could get ne was welcome to keep. Hurst
says ne called In to help dispose OF the junk.
He and Napier and Sacks's janito- started of to-
seher. The Janitor went along to be sure and get
the 81. All three men went into a saloon 10 get
drink and while Hurst and the janitor were drink
ing Napier went Off with the junk When the
janitor learned that. he insisted that Hurs. should
go back with him to Sacks. When the optican
heard the story. Hurst alleges. he became very
angry and called him various unpleasant names.
Then ne called In a policeman and had him arrested
and charged with the larceny OF the junk. He
released on $3.50 ball. and the next morning when
he was arragned before Justice Walsh az Sacks
did not appear he was discharged. Sacks says that
Napier was a myth. and that II he was not a myth.
then he and Hurst conspired TO rob him OF the junk.
