CHAPTER T..

We left Elite Burns weeping over
the grave of her grandfather-her only
friend, But little time was given Ell
tie to weep. The hard hand of neces-
sity, with its very rough pocket hand
kerchief, wiped her eyes.
Old Captain Fuljoy, in the midst of
his W bitter griefs, lost no time in
discharging the trust left him by his
deceased friend.
He had personally directed the flu
neral, and from the grave he would
have led Elite to his own house. But
the weeping girl begged that she might
be permitted to return to her old
home and remain there until the last
moment, before departing for the dis
tant abode of her grandmother. The
farm and farmhouse were to be rent
ed out, and the rents to be devoted to
Elites support, or left to accumulate
for her benefit, as her grandmother
should prove to be able or willing to
keep her OF otherwise. The stock and
furniture were to be sold at once, OF as

A Famous Pistol,

Capt. VIM. P. Hogarty, of Kansas
City, Kan, has in his possession an old
dueling pistol which was originally
owned by Josef Maria Graf Won Damn,
who was commander-in-chief Of the
Austrian army during the Seven Years
War, and n of Austria's greatest
heroes. The pistol is in an excellent
state of preservation, although it has
been little used since its owner ~ 1857
drove Frederick the Great from
Prague and forced him to e~vacuate Boz
hernia.
Josef had two of these pistols, and
after his death n passed to each
branch of his family. William Theodore
Maria o Damn, a grandson, who was
banished from Austria in 1S4S, brought
one of them to America, and before his
death at Quindaro, a few years ago,
he gave it to Capt. Hogarty. Il is in
laid with gold and silver and artistic
ally carved. Capt. Hogarty prizes it
very highly. He is himself something
of a military hero-having been decor
ated by Congress for his distinguished
bravery in the battles of Antietam
and Fredericksburg-hence it Is a
pleasure to him to own a pistol which
was carried by such a great military
character as Josef Maria Graf Won

Smallest Dogs i'm the World.

Over in Japan, where the people are
fond of everything in miniature, the
smallest breed Of dogs in the world has
its home. They belong to the family
of spaniels, and are black and white or
yellow and white in color, and the
smaller they are the more money they
will bring. A pup Of 1 year weighing
five pounds is worth 5000. If the breed
er Is fortunate enough to raise a span
lei weighing only three pounds or less
he can get almost any price he wants
for it. Sales have been made to the
sum of $500. One Of these queer little
dogs a easily lie on a mans hand or
find a comfortable nook for sleeping in
a bootleg. They are very delicate and
tender, and they have to be watched
and cared for like a baby. If given
proper attention they will sometimes
live to the G of 10 years.

The first day. The tide in the affairs
of the teacher, which, taken ut the
flood. leads on. not to fortune, unfOrtu-
nately. but to success III the work or
the school room. You look out over
your little republic-our school rooms
are too thoroughly republican in o
to be called kingdoms any ~lOnger-and.
no matter how much you may be
scared by the prospect of unlimited
mischief. you don't let the children see
it. On the contrary you smile pleas
ant.y. talk easily in Il quiet. firm voice,
and direct their activities by getting
them to work us quickly as possible
Then you are at liberty TO put the
schedule of classes on the board ana
attend to the multitude of duties that
claim your attention at this opening
session.
If this is not your first year of teach
ing. you have learned by experience
not to talk too much. Those acute lit
tie readers of human nature. your
pupils, will find out Oon enough; ana
they will stand more in awe of you If
you do not attempt to tell them all you
know, the first day. You also know
better. now. than to read to these fu-
ture American citizens Il set of cast
iron rules, which upon hearing they
will straightway feel impelled to
break.
You will not say to the first offender
against law and order: IF you do not
keep still | will keep you in a half hour
tonight" for experience or good peda-
gOgical training has taught you that
this, to the pupil is equal to "a dare"
that it takes away the element of
threatening uncertainty as to his fate,
and you will soon be furnished with
occasion to make your threat good. TX
you are one of those wise teachers who
allow the children to help them in the
minor details of their work, you will
do away with the nuisance of granting
or refusing permission to many daily
applicants, by appointing each week,
al aid committee.
That sounds fine, and the little IDS
can be very pleasantly trained to make
themselves useful. Each member Of
the committee will have his or her
special work to do, such as cleaning
black-bOards, collecting number work
or written exercises, distributing copy
books and pens, or any of the other
things the children a do lor the
teacher, and do them easily and well,
if they are tactfully directed. And
first, last and always, even to the last
day Of In" term, you will be kind, but
firm. If you make it clearly under
stood, by your even, un~failingly just
discipline that you insist upon good
behavior and good work, your pupils
will see the justice of your course and
respect and obey and work for you

PO1ly's Mirrors.

Every Saturday Polly has to scour
the spoons. That is all that mamma
askes her to do, and it does not take
much time, but Polly has always dread
I'd it so long beforehand, and grumbled
SO while she rubbed them, that it seem
cd like very hard work indeed. Every
week it was the same old story, and
asked to clean the family plate in some
old mansion.
But last Saturday mamma heard her
laughing all by herself in the kitchen,
and asked what she was doing.
Making mirrors, mammal" shouted
Polly, gleefully.
So mamma came to see. Polly was
rubbing away on a spoon, and when it
grew quite bright and shiny, sure
enough, there was a little mirror in the
bowl Of the spoon, and such a funny
Polly reflected there, with very fat
cheeks and very small eyes, and no
hair. When she moved her head her
cheeks grew thin, and her eyes as
large and round as an OWLS. How
Polly did laugh!
Then she secured another spoon, and
soon there was another tiny looking
glass, and another queer little Polly, as
funny as the first.
When she had twelve of these droll
little mirrors her work was done, and
she vas surprised to find that it was
only play, after all.

A Desk with a History.

If the thousands who have occasion
to sit in the Presidents reception room
waiting their turns for audiences only
knew it, they might make the time
seem less monotonous by contemplate
ing the chief articles of furniture. Many
Of these visitors are anxious to 60 to
foreign parts. The massive desk which
occupies the center of the room has
Travelled further than any Of the can
didates will. 1t has circumnavigated
the globe by a route which no human
being has followed. The President sits
behind it and writes his message to
Congress. He may use plain words
about Great Britain's occasional lapses
Of comfy and Of good faith. He may
lay down views upon the Monroe doc
trine which will cause British states
men to grumble. He will never write
upon that desk a declaration of wal
against the other great Anglo-Saxon
nation. If he should contemplate such
a thing the desk would creak and rock
like a wooden ship in a grinding ice
pack. With it's m~assiveness and wealth
Of carving the desk gives no indication
Of it's historical origin. Schoolboys
know that Sir John Franklin went to
discover the north pole and never came
back. The good ship Resolute drifted
and drifted in the Arctic ocean cur
rents, spared from destruction in some
mysterious manner, until she reached
the waters of the adventurous Ameri-
can whalers off the shores of Alaska.
She was boarded and claimed by those
who found her. When the Resolute
reached San Francisco the United
States bought her, repaired and reftted
her, manned her with an American
crew and sent her to England with
international compliments. Twenty
years ago the old ship was broken up.
From the soundest Of the timbers was
made a handsome desk by direction of
the queen, to be presented to then Pres
ident of the United States. That is the
desk which stands in the reception
room at the White House, and upon
which the state papers Of six admins
trations have been written. Few of
the Presidents visitors know it.-New

Blanket Men.

A lady, lately of Topeka, has writ
ten from her new home in Ell Red, Cal,
to a friend:
There is a class Of men here called
Blanket Men, who go around the coun-
try in herds, each carrying his load of
blankets, sleeping anywhere. They beg
from house to house something to eat.
They work a few days, then sit in front
of a saloon until their money is gone.
On Sunday they go to a stream and
wash their old clothes. 1 never thought
there was any good in the Coxey move
ment till a number Of these fellows left
the State with him. They say that Cali
fornia is the only State where they can
live in that way. We ask them some
times how they can forget their homes
in the East and live like animals. ooh,
it's the climate!" they say.
Hundreds of these men wander from
one part of the State to another. They
beg for bread and work for whisky.

Spiders as Weather Prophets.

One of the best Of weather prophets
is the spider. If there happens to be a
web in the secluded corner Of the porch
watch it carefully for a few days or
weeks and the spider will unfailingly
predict the coming Of storms.
When a high wind or a heavy rain
threatens the spider may be seen TAX
ing in sail with great energy-that Is,
shortening the rope flaments that sus-
tain the web structure. If the storm Is
to be unusually severe or of long dura-
ton the ropes are strengthened as well
as shortened, the better to resist the on
set of the elements. Not until pleasant
rope be heightened as before. On the
contrary, when you see the spider run
ming out the slender filaments, it Is
certain that calm, fine weather has set
in, whose duration may be measured
by their elongation.
Every tw%enty-four hours the spider
makes some alteration in its web to
suit the weather. If these changes are
made toward evening, just before sun
set, a fine, clear night may be safely
counted upon. When the spider sits
quiet and dull in the middle of it's web,
rain is not far off. If it be active, how
ever, and continues so during q shower,
then it will be of brief duration, and
sunshine will follow. These various In
dications may be witnessed and stu.

air. But you need not always go out
doors to watch the spider barometer.
There are few houses where the crafty
creature does not find an obscure cor.
ner wherein to swing it's signboard:
Files taken in and done for here"
Watch these places, and when you see
the spiders coming out on the walls
more freely than usual you may be
sure that rain is near.

The Sequence Car.

Freight car numbered 12345 of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad passed through Darlington,
Pawtucket, one day last week on the
branch railroad. What that car con-
tanned, where it was from, or where 1t
was going is of no consequence. The
number of the ear 12345, is all that Is
of special interest.
This number on freight cars is the
fortunate number to find. A few years
ago, and perhaps until to-day, CONNER
cial travellers and whoever else was
travelling much, or was much about the
railroad, were all the time looking for
this magic number, in the belief that
to see it was a good omen, and wonder
full were the stories told of the good
fortune which fell to those who were
so happy as to see it. 1t is a simple
matter. and yet it is not often a car
with this number comes into view. It
is very likely that had any other par
ticular number been chosen it would
have been as difficult to find it.
A gentleman who saw this car last
week had been looking for it c~ontinu-
ally for more than half a score Of years,
and during that time had travelled
thousands of miles, but his eye had
never been blessed with a sight of it
until Tuesday. He is not so superstt-
tious as to fancy that his fortune is to
change because he has seen the car
with this number, but his curiosity Is
gratified after so long a search.-Provt
dence Journal.
