A Brilliant Fraud.

A small weekly magazine was started here 1 years ago by two hustling young men. One was editor, the other "writer and paster." They clipped, extracted and rewrote. An advertising agent was employed on a commission of 25 per cent, and it was caution the way he filled up the pages with black type and cuts. Some contracts were made for 8 month, some for three months, some for 8 year. The only cash in advance was half of the commission, which was paid as soon as the contract was turned in.
 Prosperity peeped from its pages. The magazine rapidly grew fat. In the sec, ond week the American News company ordered 14,000 copies. Money flowed out like corn from 8 hopper and not 8 cent came in. The writer and paste1 went around at the end of the month to collect from the 80 day advertisers and what do you suppose happened? He fail. ed to find onel Every advertisement was a fraud. There were no such names, nc such businesses, no such addresses as the agent brought in for publication. He happened to have an engagement iI New Jersey on that fateful day and never has been seen since. Contracts supposed to be worth $10,000 were not worth a cent. The magazine died.- New York Press.

When Baby came home in the even- ing, she found the entire household in an uproar and the two helpless parents missing. The police were communicat- ed with, descriptions of Mrs. and MT. Corfield wired everywhere and an air ship dispatched in search, provided with blankets and spoon food. But the night passed, and still the wanderers had not returned. Baby was obliged to go into court the following morning without her anxiety having been allayed. There were number of cases to be disposed of, and the necessity of attending to her official duties helped to distract her mind. An amusing assault case, in which the occupants of a balloon and 8 flying machine had come to blows in the air, even caused Baby to forget her fam fly troubles for a brief space.
 The next case in the sheet was a charge of two minors being at large without any visible means of support. Baby had barely glanced at the list, and when her parents entered the dock in the custody of two policewomen she was completely paralyzed for the moment with mingled astonishment and conster- nation.
 Then when she had recovered herself dignity and etiquette were alike forgot ten. She scrambled down from the bench, knocked over couple of forms full of spectators in her eagerness and rushed into the dock.
 My poor little parentsi" she cried, clasping the frightened woman and man alternately in her arms. "I thought you were lost! Oh, how glad am to have found you again."
 Many of those present in court shed tears at this touching scene. The Cor fields were, indeed, objects of pity. They had been out all night in the cold and rain, having been ultimately dis covered in a suburban ditch, into which they had crept for shelter and then cried themselves to sleep.
 Of course Baby gave them good scolding on account of the escapade when she got home and dismissed the nursery tutor. But she was very thank. full to have got them back safely and made up her mind that they should be better looked after in future.
 In spite of all her care, however, she soon found herself all orphan. Papa was choked at a parents kindergarten party through swallowing a sweetmeat whole, while Mrs. Corfeld, few weeks later, succumbed to a sudden attack of croup.
 Baby, warned by her parents fate, resolved to remain a spinster. She thus selfishly retained her ripened faculties for herself instead of aiding the world $ progress by allowing the law of heredity it's natural operation of instantaneously transmitting their developed maturity to 8 succeeding generation.

The Birth of the Prince.

Paris was in all uproar. The whole city was as if insane. Church bells rang joyful peals, great guns fired equally joyful salvos. happy announcements were posted up at every point of van- tage, and excited crowds besieged every entrance and avenue to the palace ill a perfect delirium of joy.
 Now, after many years I find it diff cult to understand-or indeed almost to realize-that many of those then shout ing so enthusiastically for joy are the same people who lately yelled with sav- age fury: "A bas l'empirel A bas limperatricer'
 Equally mad was the enthusiasm, equally mad the delight, when the prince imperial was baptized, and equally mad were the howls of fury against the whole imperial family when the sad news came of the reverse the imperial army had suffered when battle after battle had been lost.
 Some of the noblest, the most gener- ous, the most self devoted men I have ever known in the course of somewhat long life have found among French men-men quite worthy to be classed among the grandest heroes of antiquity. But there is a reverse side to the medal, and when the tigerish nature of the ex- citable Frenchman is reused he is capa- ble of a savage cruelty very near akin to that of the wild beast to which he has been compared. ed.-Cornhill Maga- zin6

I'm Q Buddhist Nunuery,

Sir Charles Gordon's "Recollections of Thirty-nine Years In the Army" contains this anecdote: "In 1860, at Tien-tsin, the two Gordons, when seek. ing for hospital sites, came across 8 Buddhist nunnery. Despite the warn ings of one of the inmates, who appear ed in boys clothes, they entered the building and found that the inmates all wore male clothing. The Buddhist women were greatly shocked at the in, tFpsion.
 "fOuF regret says Sir Charles, twas real Explanations were exchanged. We were informed that the community within adopted male costume as an ip. dioation that they not only renoupced the world, but with it the eInblems pi theiF sex. We were received by the lady superior, tea and cakes offered te and partaken of by us. We were then permitted to visit the private chapel, and finally we parted from the ye' Hgieuses on the best of terms.

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
 And day and night are the same one. The year grows green, and the year grows
 brown.
 And what is it all, when all is donef Grains of somber or shining sand, Gliding into and out of the hand. And men go down in ships to the seas.
 And hundred ships are the same as one, And backward and forward blows the breeze,
 And what is 1t all, when all is donef A tide with never a shore in sight, Getting steadily on to the night. The fisher droppeth his net in the streams
 And a hundred streams gre the same as onev And the maiden dreameth her lovelit dream. And what is it all, when all is donef The net of the fisher the burden breaks, And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes Harriet Prescott 6pofford.

P. E. BUTLER, of paok-train No. writ ing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, says: We all had diarrhga in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammuni- ton and rations, but thanks to Chamber lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, sincerely be- lieve that at one critical time this medi- cine was the indirect saviour of our army for If the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way oi getting supplies to the front.

An Army of Dragon r1ie..

A professor of zoology at Lille, M. Charles Barrios, was making a toul through Morbihan, in France As he was walking along the road he noticed that 8 multitude of dragon flies were alighting on the telegraph wires. The singular thing about it was that they all rested,at an equal distance from each other, and all occupied the same posi- tion, with head turned toward the west.
 From all sides the dragon flies arriv- cd and always placed themselves in the same position and at the same distance from each other. They remained :.., if glued to the wire, motionless and para. lyzed. Each new arrival flew over the fixed bodies of the others and took its place ill the line.
 This chain stretched itself out toward the west and turned toward the setting sun, Professor Barrios followed the route for long distance and found the same strange phenomenon. He estimat- ed the number at 60. 900. at least. At an abrupt turn of the road to the south the telegraph line turned also. There not dragon fly was in sight, The wire was absolutely free from theml With

 Was this chance? Did the electric currents running from the east to the west exercise any influence upon these insects? Was it the solar reflection? Ex- plain it, who can. In any case it would be interesting to know whether this phenomenon be an isolated one or not.
 Was that man ever farmer?" in quired Mrs. Corntossel.
 "No," answered her husband very positively.
 "But he's always talkin about the delights of Twin ill the country"

Some kind of a medicine outfit is

concerns drop in and rent building
for few days and $50 into business
they sell a lot of their goods and

they pay nc license and no taXes;yet

Why can't our city council levy an
occupation tax on all business men
and require that it be paid in adj

when the firm pays taxes to an equiv

travelling concerns come into town
and carry away money and not help
bear the burdens of carrying on the
