young niece, Miss Susan Dirk, ac-

which time he fell to the ground with
a rebel bullet in his body, and was a

back. Since then he received SIS a

cruel treatment by his wife and family,
he left them in Columbia county to
end his days in Trevorton. Numerous

A SMART WOMAN.
How She Frightened Away Persistent
Tramp,

While a woman of New Brunswick
was alone in her house recently, a
tramp knocked insolently at the door
and demanded refreshments.
I'm looking for work." he said, "anC
i want something to eat at once or
there will be some trouble"
II have fed three big, strong fellows
like you to-day and 1 think that is
sufficient" she answered.
We'll. IL you don't give me some-
thing l will stay here all day." and the
hobo coolly sat on the stoop.
The lady got an alarm clock and
wound 1t UP. Then she went into the
front room where her voice could be
heard by the tramp. Causing the alarm
to ring she shouted
Hello. centrall Give me police stat
tion. please"
The tramp was all attention. Then
he heard the following counterfeit con-
versation:
rs this the police station? Please
send an officer to my house at once.
There is a tramp here who refuses to
leave the yard. What7 Yes; he ought
TO be In prison. All right"
The tramp started for the street in
double quick time.-Jewelers' Review.

Electricity for Women,

A new electric device for women's use
is an artistic little heater by which
crimping irons and curling tongs may
be heated without the dangers that
often result from using kerosene or alco-
holic lamps. Electricity is also soon to
displace the hot water.
The means employed will be flexible
wrap of silk that can be applied to any
part of the body and heated at once
with a current of electricity to any
temperature desired Instead of the hot
water and steam Turkish baths, we are
to have a down comforter charged with
electric heat, and a Turkish towel
charged In the same way, with which to
dry the hair after II has been washed.
In any house where electric lights are
Ssed these conveniences are available.
Inside of each is an arrangement OF
extremely flexible wires that will con-
form to any folds given the material in
which they are placed. They are cons
nected by a silk-covered wire, also flex-
ible, at the end of which there is a
metallic plug to make electric contact
with the lights In the room. There Is
Baid not to be the slightest possibility

Those Who Are Always With Us.

Once more the cities, great and
small, and the country townships and
districts have on their hands those
who must be subsisted on charity.
The number is not diminishing, but
rather increasing, from year to year.
All, both those who must give in
charity and those who must be sup
ported, will have to be provided for
as may be tie present winter.
The ever increasing number of
these unfortunates and the ever in
'creasing burden they entail on com
munity will be apt to commend to
charity authorities next spring the
plan inaugurated by Mayor Pingree
OF Detroit-namely, that of asking
property owners to donate vacant
city lots on which men and women
who have no means of support can
plant gardens and raise vegetables for
sale or for their own use, as they may
choose. In Detroit, in New York
city and elsewhere this system has
been so successful that it will doubt
less be more and more widely adopt.
ed. Some charitable aid is needed
in the beginning to carry out the idea
successfully, such as buying seeds
and tools, but this expense is not
great and can easily be met by appro
priation from the public charity fund.
One of the best results of the sys
TEN is that it very quickly draws the
dividing line between the poor who
will work and those who will not.
Among those who raised garden vege-
tables on the lots donated by William
Steinway on Long Island last summer
were numbers Of men who had been
once well to do, some of them being
college graduates. .-Ec.

Gen. Clusters Check.

The tragic death of Gen. Custer and
his gallant men at the hands of the
Sioux Indians in the massacre of Lit
tie Big Horn was recalled the other day
at Bismarck, N. D., says a recent dis
patch from that town, by the forward
Ing to Mrs. Custer of check for 81, 500
drawn to the order of Gen. George A.
Custer, in 1876. The check is dated
June 20, and Is signed by B. L. Smith.
at that time assistant paymaster of the
army. 1t was on June 25, 1876, that the
massacre took place. The check is still
unpaid, and soiled and tattered though
1t be, constitutes q valid claim against
the government for the amount repre-
sented on its face. which was no doubt
intended as part payment of Gen. Gus
ter's salary as an officer of the United
States army.
Where the check has been all these
years no one knows. least of all Michael
Francis who found it in the street at
bismarck. last February, and who has
retained Ii in his possession until now.
When Francis picked up the bit of pa
per 1t was almost as legible as when
II was drawn, but three heavy creases
in 1t showed that 1t had been worn
through. The parts were Joined togeth-
er by narrow strips of paper pasted
on the back, and the edges were some
what soiled, as though the paper had
at one time been dropped in the mud.
No endorsement appears upon the
back of the check and the face shows
the mark of no cancellation stamp,
demonstrating that the check has never
been presented for payment. The check
was, no doubt forwarded 70 the north
west before the news of the Custer mas
sacre reached Washington. Had it
reached those in charge Of the dead
soldiers effects 1t would have been
sent back at once in order that one
payable to the heirs could have been
sent in its place 1t has evidently been
under shelter somewhere, and the
chances are that it was lost last Feb
ruary and swept out into the street
where it was found by Mr.. Francis.

The First Days Of the World.

When geology took up the worlds
history, in early Archaian days, three
hundred millions of years had already
passed since the molten rocks of the
sun like earth had formed from the
condensing nebule.
The cooling of the exterior had
gone forward with remarkable slow
ness, but at last it was hard, solid
rock the thick, heavy vapors had
begun to condense, and waters, hot
and acid, covered the world, or at
least its greater part.
Over the continental region the
sea was more or less shallow, and the
breaking and grinding of the oceans
bed laid the nucleus for future land.
A triangular island slowly appear
ed above the waste of waters, in what
is now the Hudson's Bay region !;
there appeared, too, a narrow strip
which in centuries to come was to be
the Highlands of the Hudson there
was also a coast line in the broad
area covering the Rockies small
Islands dotted the great northern seas
where Norway and Sweden now stand
AS time passed, the waters slowly
became cooler, and at last life, lowly
life, appeared in some structureless
plants and animals.
A warm and equable climate cover
ed the land, and clouded sky,
tempered the rays of the sun but
the rocks were yet bare, and no
sounds filled the air save those OF
lifeless and voiceless nature,-the
surging of the waters and raging OF
the tempest. But gradual change
was taking place the seas adjoining
these primordial islands became
shallower corals and sea-lilies filled
the bays mollusks and crustaceans
had begun, and for ages mollusk life
reigned supreme in this embryo
world.-Harvey B. BaShore, in
February Lippincohs.

just as a Favor.

The man who knows 1t all had been
talking, and in his superior way had
settled every question that had come
up until the quiet little man was moved
to speak.
"Will you grant me one little favor?'
he asked humbly, as became a man
who realized that he was addressing
one who knew it all.
Certainly" replied the other. What
is it?"
well. will you kindly permit me to
know something about one or two sub

that permission had been glven.-Chi-

Remarkable Case.

An interesting fact which will
illustrate how money travels, was re-
lated to Cataract representative a few
days since.
Some seventeen years ago, Mr.. r. A.
Shuyler, at present employed on the
local customs force received in change
a half-dozen bright new Canadian half
dollars. Just previous to the time Mr..
Schuyler had had made a steel stamp
bearing his name and to test it, stamped
on each of the coins the word "Schuy-
ler." OF course he never expected to
see any one of them again, and he
gradually disposed of them until the last
left his possession. After that Mr..
Schuyler entirely forgot the occur
renee, but it was called to his mind some
FIVE years ago by Mr.. Frank Lawson, who
at the time was running an elevator on
the Canadian side of the river One
day Mr.. Lawson asked Mr.. Schuyler If
he had ever stamped his name on a
Canadian half dollar, mentioning the
date, and the latter's mind at once re-
verted to the occasion some twelve
years before. Lawson then told him he
had that day received from an English
man half-dollar bearing the mark
oSiuyiei. he EHSilSHlildII Hdu re-
ceived it at Liverpool and Mr.. Lawson
valued 1t so highly as a curiosity that
he refused to sell II to the former pos
SCISSOR whose name it bore.
Mr.. Schuyler thought no more of the
marked money until some days ago,
when he was quite surprised to find
among the money paid In at the custom
house a half-dollar bearing his name
and without doubt one of those mark
ed by him. This he received and now
prizes it very highly.-Niagara Falls

that James Blair OF PiuOs Altos was a

themselves 10 the county papers
