Too Polite for Him.

A brave, active, intelligent terrier
one day discovered monkey belong
ing to an intinerant organ-grinder
seated upon bank within the grounds
and at once made dash toward him.
The monkey, who was attired in a
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with
such undisturbed tranquility that the
dog halted within few feet of him to
reconnoitre.
Both animals took a long, steady
stare at each other. but the dog evil
IDENTIFY was recovering from his sur
prise, and about to make a spring for
the intruder. At this critical juncture
the monkey, who had remained per-
fectly quiet hitherto, raised his paw,
and gracefully saluted by raising his
hat.
The effect was magical; the dogs
head and tail dropped, and he sneaked
off and entered the house, refusing to
leave it till he was satisfied that his
polite but mysterious guest had de-
parted. His whole demeanor showed
plainly that he felt the monkey was
"uncanny;;" and not to be meddled
with.

Singular Plant Of tho East.

The Rose of Jericho is one Of the
most singular forms of plant life. It
is an annual and is found in Syria,
Africa and Arabia. During the grow
ing season 1t presents no strange char
acteristics, but as the pods begin to
ripen on the approach Of dry weather
the branches drop their leaves and curl
inward, presenting the appearance Of
dead twigs. When completely ripe, the
whole plant looks like ball Of Curl
ously-constructed wicker-workeat the
top of short stem. The roots die,
and the plant is carried to great dis
tances by the wind. When the ap-
parently dead and worthless ball
reaches the sea or any other water, or
becomes wedged in some place where
rain falls on it, it unbends and the
branches resume their former position.
The pods then open and discharge
their seeds hundreds Of miles from the
place of original growth. The monks
in Palestine call it "Mary's Flower"
from their belief that it expands each
year on the day and hour Of the birth
of the Savior. It is also known as the
resurrection plant.

Why Doctor Temple Had q Restless Night
Archbishop Temple was once taken
home by clergyman in the absence
of the latter's wife. Next morning the
host politely expressed the hope that
when his lordship again honored the
house Mrs. Temple would accompany
him.
mo, thanks" the archbishop lacon-
ically replied: "Mrs. Temple doesn't
at all like roughing it,
The clergyman's feelings were deep
ly hurt, for the visit had meant some
expense and much anxiety to him. He
unburdened his soul to his wife on her
return.
"why, my DEAR" she exclaimed, you
didn't surely put the archbishop in the
pink bedroom, did you?"
II certainly did"
ooh, then, that's it. I put all the
plate in the bed for safety while 1 was
away!"

now able to cross his chamber, by the
aid of clutches; and was rapidly re-
gaining vigor and strength.
The strange melancholy that so dark
-ened his fine countenance only vanish
Cd when Lady Violante came to while
away, with her bright presence, the
tedious hours of confinement. Then a
new existence dawned upon him, an
other temperament to Danish his old
self. and he was gay and sparkling in
his conversation as the most light
hearted of the cavaliers who sought
her favor.
81 have come to scold you," said she
merrily one afternoon as she entered
his apartment, and was greeted with a
Frightening eye. "Why did you so sud-
denly vanish from the window, as we
rode up the avenue! Count German is
Iauch interested in you and longs to
.see you. Why do you so obstinately
refuse to receive any visitors? He
might so much enliven these dreary
hours. Promise me I may bring him
here tomorrow"
Bernard was gnawing his lip fiercely.
@'Never!" exclaimed he. in 80 deep a
tone It startled her. Have patience,
Lady Violante, am fast growing
stronger, you will soon be rid of me-

lieves in Expansion."
The Goodyear Rubber company
came to St Paul in 1885, locating at
191 East Third street, subsequently
moving into the stores Nos. SO, 100
and 1O2 East Seventh street, the build
ings having been extended on the first
floor In order to give them facilities for
their wholesale business.
The jobbing business of the company
in st. Paul has increased steadily each
year for the past four years, and they
have now rented the upper part Of the
adjoining building, giving them two
floors of Nos. 80, "a and 96-size of
rooms 5Ox90 feet-which really adds
80 per cent to the space they formerly
had for carrying stock. The variety
and quantity Of goods necessary to
meet the demands Of the trade in this
section Of the country made it neces
sary for the company to have more
room. Their brands of goods have be-
come we'll and favorably known; so
that in many instances dealers are
seeking the agency for the sale Of the
goods.
Any dealers who have not had busi-
ness relations with this company can
obtain by sending for it, one Of their
catalogues of overshoes mackintoshes,
mechanical goods or sundries. Their
catalogues are furnished only to deal
ers. Ninety-five per cent of thesbusi-
ness Of the company at st. Paul is
wholesale.

Fair Collateral

A soldier in the guards came to me
in Queens Square to swear to his hav-
ing lost his duplicate. I looked at the
affidavit to see If it were military ac-
coutrements. etc.. that he had pawned.
when, to my surprise found that he
had pawned a2 bank note for los
Cd. On asking an explanation Of this
odd circumstance he said he received
the E2 note and was resolved to PASS q
jolly evening but not to spend more
than . half guinea, and to insure this
he pawned the note for that sum, and
destroyed the duplicate afterward that
lie might not be able to raise money on
It in case his resolution should give
way while he was drinking with hia
companions Cornhill MasazinA

Everything comes to him who

Carnegie's notices. Waiting. hut
working meanwhile, he began laying
up his first $1,000 while making $1.2O
a week as "bobbin-boy" in a cotton
mill in Allegheny City. His father,
mother, younger brother and himself
the family-had just come from Scot
land, and had hardly got their two
room house Ito rights" when candy"
brought in his first contribution to the
family earnings. But the lad of twelve
was doing grown mans work. find
ing his way to the mill and beginning
on his bobbin while it was still dark
outside, every morning except Sunday,
and working until after dark every
evening, with only forty minutes in
terval at noon.
Seven steps above this, eight steps
in all, he had to climb before he finally
put that thousandth dollar in the bank.
The second step was made in his
thirteenth year. He became dummy
engine tender in a bobbin factory, also
in Allegheny City. But his work there
was even harder than in the cotton
mill; for he was put to firing the boil
er in the cellar, as well as to tending
the little engine which ran the ma
chinery.

A QUEENS SEA DOGS"
The Voyages of the ElIzabethan Seame,
Extended to Every Part of the World

The Voyages of the ElIzabethan seamen
Extended to Every Part of the World.
During most of Queen Elizabeth's
reign there was no open war with
Spain. On the contrary, there was nomi-
nal friendship. But the privateering
captains were not slow to perceive that
the queen and her council had no OBJ
lection to their expeditions, provided
they did not so openly violate the law
OF nations as to create great embar-
easements for the government.
The voyages of the Elizabethan sea-
men extended to almost every part of
the world. In the last days of Ed
ward vi. Sir Hugh Willoughby had
persisted in the northern ice, and Rich
ard Chancellor had made his. way
through the White sea to the country
and the court of the car of Muscovy.
Ellzabethans followed in their wake
Under Frobisher and Davis they ex-
plored Meta Incognita and Greenland
and Hudson's straits. With good Sir
Humphrey Gilbert they attempted the
planting of Newfoundland; with Lane
and White they went out to Raleigh's
colony of Roanoke. They followed the
Portuguese and the Dutch to the East
Indies, and with James Lancaster's
wonderful voyages began the English
trade with Java and Sumatra and Ma
lacca. They went with Hawkins in the
Solomon or the Jesus of Lubbock to
gather slaves upon the African coast,
or lay off Flores and Corvo to inter-
cept the annual silver fleets that
brought to the King of Spain the
wealth of Mexico and Peru, or burned
his ships in the harbor of Cadiz. But
most famous of all were the adven-
lures that marked their freebooting ex-
petitions to the Spanish Main, lured
on by fabulous tales of Ell Dorado or
by knowledge of the more substantial
wealth which the Spaniards had de-
rived from their rich and abundant
provinces in the new world.

Miss Wizards Childhood.

What sort Of a looking baby was
Frances Elizabeth anyhow" asked an
interested friend of Madam Willard.
Very pretty, with sunny hair, blue
eyes, delicate features and fair COM
plexion. She was called the doll-baby
of the village"
Was she brought up by hand?"
Yes, she was bottle baby, or one
brought up by hand but I ought to
add for her present reputation's sake,
she had no affinity for the bottle-put-
ting it away when ten months old,
with no regret. She always slept with
both hands on my face. She was a
very affectionate little creature. She
could talk some time before she could
walk. speaking quite wisely at four
teen months, but not walking until
twenty-four months old. AS little
girl she was very confiding and fond
Of her childish friends.
Her father used to say when walk
ing to and fro with her at night, 4
declare, this young one ought to
amount to something, she gives trouble
enough
She dearly loved her brother Oliver
and her sister Mary. They were very
much to one another always. She was
mentally precocious, but physically
delicate beyond any other of my chill
dren. She was inventive and original
in her amusements. She early mani
tested fondness for books. She be-
ltQvQ6 tr
when she was two years old we
removed from Churchville to Oberlin,
o. 1 held Frank all the way. 1t was
tiresome journey, for we went by
carriage. She often put her little arms
around my neck, laid her head upon
my shoulder and said, Mamma, sissy's
dress aches!' It rejoices me to be-
lieve that she intuitively recognized
the fact that it is not ones real self
that is ever tired, but only this dress
of mortality that aches sometimes.
She used to see the students re-
hearsing their speeches and would get
up an amusing imitation of them, when
but three years old. Many a time 1
have seen her standing on the we'll
curb or on top of the gate post initial
ing the gestures Of some bright young
sophomore who stood there, laying it
off for her amusement"
The first religious teaching that 1
can call to mind" says Miss Willard
herself, "is the learning of that sweet
prayer Of every little child: Now
la; me down to Sleep
my first appearance on the stage
was in Oberlin, O., at the age of TREE
or four. when my father used to stand
me up on a chair and have me sing
for guests in my queer little voice,
especially after dinner. AS 1 remem-
Der, the song was always this:
They called me blue-eyed Mary
When friends and fortune smiled"

How tn. orr.n,.. spoiled tn. s.r.o

How the organist Spoiled the Sermon.
Rev. Simon J. Mcpherson preached
on Hell" in q Presbyterian church in
New York recently. He pictured in
burning words the terrors awaiting the
unrepentaut wicked in the next world,
His sermon made deep impression
on the congregation. The organist had
not known the subject Of the sermon
when he selected the response. and
thought no more about It.
The organist began to play the air
pianissimo, and broad grin spread
over every face. Doctor Mcpherson
looked appealingly upward to the or
ganist, and then turned over the
leaves Of tho hymn-book with desper-
ate eagerness. The organist left his
pipes, ana hurried down 70 the pastor.
