An ArchbishOp's Wit,

The stories that are told of Arch
bishop Ryan's wit would fill small
volume. A we'll known priest called
upon him one day to ask for a vaca-
ton on the ground that his health
required it. AS he was noted for his
frequent absences from his parish,
the prelate could not let slip the OPP
portunity. He granted the leave of
absence promptly, with a recon-
mendation. 1.-The physicians say

The True "Gallopins Dick"

Robbing alone, Hind could. afford
to despise pedantry. Did he meet a
traveller who amused his fancy, he
would give him the password C'The
fiddler's paid" or what not,, as
though the highway had not its
code of morals, and he did not scru-
pie, when it served his purpose, to
rob the bunglers of his own pro-
fession. By this means indeed he
raised the standard of the road and
warned the incompetent to embrace
an easier trade.
While Captain Hind never took q
shilling without sweetening his dep
relation with q joke he was, like all
humorists, an acute philosopher.
Remember what I tell you, " said
he to the foolish persons who once at
tempted to rob him, the master thief
of England. Disgrace not your
self for small sums, but aim high
and for great ones. The least will
bring you to the gallows. s." There,
in three lines, is the theory of thiev-
ing, and many poor devil has leap
ed from the cart to his last dance
because he neglected the admirable
counsel Of the illustrious Hind

Insomnia.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the
expert on brain diseases, holds that
insomnia is not attended with such
disastrous consequences as is COM

airy men, who are the most frequent
victims, acquire the trick of the
heart, which takes dose of frac-

SO manages to get hours rest in "a.
Some brains, in cases of insomnia,

FEARLESS IGNORANCE.
Illustrated by Tourist Who Insisted
Upon Going Into a Crater.

i Upon Going Into Crater.
Captain Basil Hall tells one o.
those stories which are always com.
ing up to prove that the man who
knows nothing about danger is
the one to fear it least and to neglect
salutary obedience toward those
who have trodden a path before.
The incident was narrated by an old
guide at Vesuvius.
"A few years ago, said Salvatore,
II came up the mountain with a
party OF gentlemen, one of whom
insisted on going not only around
the cone, as we are doing now, but
actually into the crater, though I
told him that such an adventure
was attended with more danger than
the thiIg was worth.
Pooh! Pooh! Danger?' said the
pigheaded gentleman. what do /
care for danger? Am I not SOL
der? Why, man, have faced the
foe before now!' Lead the way, I'll
follow.
Il merely said that to face a hu.
man enemy and to face an active
volcano were two very different
things.
Are you afraid to go?' he asked.
II don't much admire it, an
swered; but as I think I know
how to evade the danger when it
comes, having been at the work for
nearly half a century, I'll go into
the crater if you are determined
upon the adventure. Only 1 warn
you again, the danger to an mex
perienced person is very great.

went, he fourishing his stick like a

Now, sir, I said to him, the
only plan by which we can hope to
accomplish this expedition in safety
is to be perfectly steady and if a
shower OF stones comes about our
ears to stand as cool and collected
as II nothing were happening. ]

From wir;lt could he learned from both

The circumstances which were made the
excuse for the strike in New York and

not in any way influence employees else

one of the employees said he had no fear
of the trouble spreading to this city
In fact, he said he felt confident that all
differences between the company and the
employees would be amicably settled within
the next few days. There could be no or
ganized strike at this place for the simple
reason, he said. that the employees are not
banded together in any way except through
sympathy, and consequently any action
taken would be purely sympathetic aud
indi vidual.
The whole working force, including
