The Young People.
A BOYLEss TOWN.

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
The town would be so pleasant, you know,
II only there were no boys"
She sColded and fretted about 1t till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then, OF sudden, the town grew still,
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't boy in view;
The baseball lot, where they used to meet,
Was sight to make one blue;
The grass was growing on every base.
And the paths that the runners made
For there wasn't soul In all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day;
Why should they bark or leap2
There wasn't whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain.
The cherries rotted, and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and the bees.
There wasn't messenger boy, not one,
To speed as such messengers can;
IL people wanted their errandS done,
They sent for messenger man.
There was Ettle, ween, of frolic and noise
There was less Of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since it lacked it's boys
Was the drearieSt place on earth;
The poor old woman began to weep
Then woke with sudden scream;
' Dear mel" she cried, 81 have been asleep;
And o, what hOrrid dream!"

Mason and Dixon Line,

A correspondent OF the Hanover (Pa.)
Record writes: Mason and Dlxon's line.
so much heard OF during the exciting
anti-slavery times prior to 1861, when
the great Civil war broke out, passes
along the southern boundary of Cor
dorus, Mannheim and West Mannheim
townships, York county, and at the point
where II crosses the Baltimore and Han
over turnpike Is seven or eight miles
distant from Hanover: along that pOr-
tion Of West Mannheim township where
1t joins Adams county IL is about six
miles distant.
This line was run by Charles Mason
and jeremiah Dixon, two eminent civil
engineers, who were brought from Eng
land by the heirs OF William Penn and
Lord Baltimore to establish true and
correct boundary line dividing their re-
spective proprietary pOssessiOns--Penn-
sylvania and Maryland-long in dispute.
and was commenced in 1853 and finished
In l767, four years being occupied in
the survey A milestone or marker was
placed at each and every mile along
the entire length Of the line as surveyed.
and at every ten miles a larger and more
elaborate stone was erected, with the
Pennsylvania coat of arms on one side
and those Of Maryland on the other.
These stones were about three feet
high, and many of them yet remain In
their positions, marking the famous
boundary line between the northern and
southern sections Of our country sec
tional line made famous and historic
by the anti-slavery and prO-slavery press
and advocates, and proclaimed and rec
ogniZed as such In the national halls OF
legislation by the statesmen Of the North
and South In their heated discussions
OF the slavery question In the ante-bel-
lum days.
These stones are of peculiar species
of granite, and were brought from Scot
land In vessels at the time the survey
was made and transported the entire
length OF the boundary line by pack
mules, a slow and tedious job, and 1t
is to be regretted that any one should
have been so vandal-like as to remove
any of them, even for relics, or TO utll-
ize them about their premises; but, un-
fortunately, this has been done. and
quite number Of them are missing and
have totally disappeared and their
whereabouts are unknown. The County
Commissioners of York and Adams
counties a few years ago made an effort
looking to the preservation OF these
boundary stones, and passed along the
line Of their respective counties to note
their condition and as far as possible
restore and replace them in their orig
lnal positions. Some were found to be
lying prOstrate on the ground, others
and here and there others re-
moved and carried away, leaving q gap
several miles In the line unmarked.
An effort should be made to discover
he whereabouts Of the missing stones,

legitimate and proper position in this
historic boundary line, which should be

Sells Mice for a Living,

Verify, One-half the world does not
know how the other half lives. Equally
true Is it that never before were there
so many curious ways Of making living
as there are at present. There have been
physicians in Paris for several centuries,
but not until quite recently did any of
them think 1t necessary to make con-
tract by the terms Of which they are to
receive a certain number of mice during
the current year. The general public
was rather surprised when it heard Of
this contract, for the reasons that the
physicians who act in this matter as a
committee Of the faculty of medicine
agree to pay good price for the mice,
whereas there are many persons in Paris
who would only be too glad to make the
doctors q present Of these ravenOus little
animals. The physicians, however, know
what they are about. They want mice,
but they don't want ordinary, everyday
mice. Only cultured, well-fed, dainty
mice will suit them, and they have given
the contract to Nine. Alexandra, because
they know that she Is the only person
in Paris who can supply on demand any
number Of such desirable animals.
Yes, Nine. Alexandre's business in life
is to furnish mice to Richet, Chante-
messe and several other leading spe-
cialists in Paris and elsewhere. She also
keeps rabbits and guinea pigs, but mice
are her specially. 1t is fifteen years
since she first began to supply animals
to the Pasteur Institute, the Municipal
Laboratory and several other such
places She has hardly any competition,
aud she has more orders than she can
well fill. She feeds her mice exclusively
on bread and milk. Her clients insist |
that the animals must be white and
plump, and she finds this diet the best |
for them. When they are three months |
old they are ready for the doctors, and !
she seldom has any on hand after that
age. She disposes Of these hapless vic |
Tins, not only to her regular clients in |
Paris, but also to several persons in |
London and Geneva. The little mice are |
we'll able to stand long journey, and |
they are as fresh when they arrive in |
London as they were when they left |
Paris.
Madam is never short of mice. AT |
present she has about 1000 on hand,
and as these animals multiply very rap !
idly, she will have double that number

STRANGE LITTLE PEOPLES.

The pigmies may boast themselves the
most ancient of all the races of men
extant on earth. On monument of the
earliest Egyptian empire, and there
fore dating some five to six thousand
years back, we may still admire the fig
ure Of pigmy, and by his side the in
scriptiOn "Akka," a name still borne
by very numerous tribe rowing the
forests of equatorial Africa, the pesti-
lent little folk that wrought Stanley and
the Emin expedition more mischief than
did all the full-siZed Africans they en-
countered on their march. Another
Egyptian inscription Gin tomb near by
the First Cataract) records how an ex-
ploring expedition of some 5000 years
ago brought home Denga dwarf that
danced divinely, like another famous
Denga dwarf gotten still earlier from the
Land of Pun, far to the south. Vague
rumOrs Of the little folk, lessened by
rumor to Lilliputian proportions, must
have been rife among the Greeks of the
AsiatiC seabOard in old HOmeT's day. He
relegates them to the furthest limits OF
the world by the ocean stream, where,
poor little bodies, they were every year
hard pressed by the cranes, that, on the
approach Of winter, winged their flight
thither from the north. These are the
"small infantry warred on by the cranes
to which Milton alludes in his first book
OF Paradise Lost" Herodotus, too, tells
us how, some $500 years ago, five Nasa-
mOnians, from the north coast of Africa,
crossed the Great Desert, steering their
way towards the setting sun, and how,
while innOcently plucking fruit in the
woods, they were assailed by a bick-
ering host of black mannikins of strange
speech. The pigmies, by force of num-
ber, took the five giants" prisoners, and
marched them across a country inter
sected by great marshes, into town by
the side of considerable river flowing
from west to /east, wherein the Nasa-
monians saw crOcOdiles sWimming--in
all likelihood the Niger in its passage
by the site Of the present Timbuetoo.
References to the pigmies are also given
by Aristotle, Pliny and other classic
writers.
AT the present time pigmies are to be
found in west Africa, scattered in groups
throughout the wooded hinterland Of the
Loango coast, and thence northwards to
beyond the equator. Under a medley of |
uncanny names-Akka, Atshua, Yiki-
Yiki, Batua, Watwa, etc-these imps Of |
darkness haunt the vast forest of central
Africa. Under the names, again, Of |
DokO, Berikamo Il. e., "two-footers"-
people two feet talD, etc., they lie hid
den in the southern Businesses of Abys-
sinia. In south Africa, before the Dutch
colonization 165O the little race roamed
all the regions from the Cape to the
river and beyond. Under the
general name Of Bushmen (men of the
bush or Ourang- -Outang), they still skulk
about as wandering hordes in Griqua-
land, Namaqualand and Bechuanaland.

This year has been fruitful in all
that grows in the soil of South Texas.
With increasing years this growth will
increase, and there is practically no
limit to the supply the state can put
upon the markets of the country. The
only way to conserve this Industry is to
provide for the surplus, so that it will
not be thrown out as waste. Some of
1t can be profitably fed to chickens and
hogs, but much of it can be turned to
more profitable use. The canning
factory should be planted within reach
of the great truck patches and berry
fields and then will the enterprising
Texas farmer reap his reward
