The official register Of the organized land and
naval forces Of the state OF New-York has just
been received at the Adjutant, Generals Office from
the printer and is one OF the best books OF the
kind ever compiled by the Department Inc changes
in the composition OF the National Guard were
never so sweeping during The last year, and
II required much more time 20 revise correct and
amend the former register. The work was done
largely under the direction OF Colonel Horalio P
StacpoIe whose many years service II me De-
partnent htted him for the task
Among the changes the hrst one 20 be noticed IS
that records in the NatiOnal Guard and in the
Army Of the United States stand to the credit OF
the commander in chief The first name in the

than one thing at a time, and have

pose of carrying their handkerchiefs,
to the great detriment of the former

latter. Some enterprising manufac-

Observation-Disclosures (this word
need not be pronounced very often,
else there might be some trouble) ,and
an article meant for this double pur-
pose is now on the market. It is made
with the last compartment open at one
end to admit of the handkerchief or
the gloves or both being slipped in
and not necessitate their being rolled
up into a ball, bulging out the purse
and wrinkling the handkerchief so that
it is mussy looking. AS the sides of
the purse were apt to be torn down
under the old style, women will hail
the innovation with delight. These
pocketbooks come in pretty styles and
can be bought at a price to suit any
purse. They are shown in the shops
from so cents to the amount of sew
eral dollars.

with her. Then she showed me the

tainted then. I had to sit down. And
I had to help her into bed and send for
the neiglbors. That's all I can tell
you"
The worst Of it was it was all true.
Deacon Pritchard had called repeat
edly and prayed for her; old friends
hocked to the house and filled it from
the porch to the sickroom-or, rather,
the dylng-room, as it was now called.
The leading druggist pooh-poohed
the story. He had a theory. He i'm
aglned he could see somebody expert
menting with chemicals. But if the
experimenter was wise he'd "sing low"
But he ought to write a letter confess
ing how the trick was done-it was
nothing but a chemical trick of some
sort.
Meanwhile Miss Saline Jones was
surely but certainly failing. She could
not live week, in the doctors opin-
ION, II she fell away at the rate he had
reckoned. However, he would adhere
) TO MS original plan. He would give
her enough to insure sleep for four or
i've hours. Meanwhile he would "over-
maui his log He had served before
the mast when in his teens. The sailor
lingo still found utterance when he
was puzzled.
Ills thoughts turned toward the
melon patch. AS far as he could learn
NOBODY had visited the melon patch, a
circumstance that did not surprise a
man who argued that not one man or
woman in ten could see two inches be-
yond their noses.
On his way out to his buggy he
asked for Tommy. Tommy had been
taken in by friendly neighbor. The
doctor sat upright in his buggy when
Tommy made his appearance.
He was very much alarmed when
the doctor asked him to take a little
ride with him-as far as the end of
the lane.
Can you show me near where you
got the melons for your aunt, Tom
my?'' the doctor asked in kindly
voice. Tommy thought he could.

old Colored Woman Who Knows Some-
thing About Fossils

thing About Fossils.
A scientific gentleman of Washing
ton, who is greatly interested in fos-
sll remains, recently received a very
me specimen, purporting to be of the
DeVonlan or some other old period.
He was delighted, and he called in all
his friends to decide on what manner
OF thing the animal was during it's
lifetime. They were not able to de-
eide, and they were on the point of
appealing to some of the government
geologists. The great trouble was that
the specimen had no head, and the
absence of that member combined to
make mystery of the missing link
variety. Meanwhile the skeleton was
Kept carefully guarded in cabinet es-
.pecially made for it. One day, after
a short absence from the city, the SCI
enlist opened the cabinet and found
that the fossil had been provided with
a head. He was delighted. When he
made inquiries his son told him that
the friend who had sent him the trunk
had found the head and forwarded it.
to him while he was away. The pro-
fessor called in his friends, and they
decided that the head fitted perfectly,
and that it belonged to the fossil.
When thus equipped it looked for all
the world like one Of the dogs one
would imagine the cave men to have
kept as their pets. The professor felt
that he ought to write treatise on
the CANNES of the paleozoic ages. An
old colored woman who takes care of
the office came in one day and saw
the fossil, with it's recent addition. She
went up to it and deliberately knocked
the head off with her duster. "Foh de
Lawd's sake, puffessah!" She exclaim-
ed, "what yo' doin' wild OF chicken
carcass on yo' skellington?' On min
ute investigation the professor found
that the old woman was correct; but
he does not speak to his son now.-

of his buggy and entered the old melon

or more.
Had anybody passed that way he
would have heard gurgle like that

rose and fell, his head shook con-
vulsively, his eyes were cast upward
very much to Tommy's alarm. Then
he wiped his eyes (Tommy said after
ward, ''The doctor c'ied"), and, placing
Tommy carefully outside the dilapi-
dated fence, drove rapidly away.
He returned later in the day, and,
summoning the neighbors who had
seen the last warnings, closeted him
self with them in room. There he
displayed to their wondering eyes fac
SMILES of the picture they saw on the
melons. The pictures the doctor ex-
hibited were made on putty, curved
to resemble the surface of good
sized watermelon.

est tone, II want you all to come to the

said she was sure was the wings of

CITY MAKES THE PROFIT.
How Ownership of Street Railways
Operates in Glasgow.

Operates In Glasgow.
From the beginning Glasgow owned
it's own street railway lines. It was
too careful of it's streets to allow any
company to control them. Though the
conditions under which q company
leased the lines for 81 years were high
ly favorable to the city, at the expir-
alton of the lease it was decided not
to renew it. An offer was made to take
over the company's rolling stock, sta
bles, etc., on an arbitrator's valuation,
on condition that the company should
not put on rival line of buses. AS
this was declined the council started
car shops and equipped the line with
new material entirely. On the day Of
the transfer the competing omnibuses
appeared, but the citizens had long ex-
perienced the advantages of loyal sup
port of their own government All
the Establishments of the omnibus con-
ductors were unavailing; the omni-
buses ran empty, while the street cars
were crowded, and soon the chagrined
rivals withdrew from the uneven con-
test. Scotch shrewdness has been jus
titled of her children. For short dis
tances system OF 1-cent fares has
been introduced; the cars have been
made more elegant and comfortable;
electric traction is being installed. In
one year the number Of passengers was
doubled; and after paying interest on
the capital and providing an adequate
reserve fund, a surplus of 100000 is
left to pay for open spaces, baths and
wash houses, river. ferries, art exhibi-
:tions, music and improved sanitation.

The Earring Again Becoming Popular.
Earrings are coming in again, and
while fashions slaves are merely pro-
testing that they will not wear the
barbarous things, they will undoub bted-
~ submit in the end. The edict has
gone forth that earrings are to be
worn again, and the jewelers. are pre-
pared for an immediate demand for
that article of jewelry, which was rele-
gated to oblivion ten years ago. One
drawback to the revival is that nine
out Of every ten women will need to
have their ears pierced again, and ev-
cry woman has an acute remembrance
of that painful ordeal in the past
When OR mothers were young it was
the custom to pierce the ears by put
ting cork behind them, stretching the
lobe Of the ear tight over the cork, and
then piercing with a needle, afterward
drawing a silken thread and a gold
ring, made especially for the purpose.

Miss Jones craned her head-she waf
not sure she was not dreaming. But
there were nearly a score Of familiar
faces. She sat up and gazed at the
doctor. The doctor laid down a parcel
where she could see it. Opening it, he

A Riddle.
Which Of the twain did the woman love?
To one she stopped and sighed;
TO the other she turned with hand and
smile;
And they lived and loved her, and died.
And the woman grew, as the flowers do,
In the vale of a holy pride.
The one brought hither a glorious dream
of the pure, and the good, and the
great,
OF a nobler race than the commonplace,
And a selfess law in the state.
But the gay dream broke, and the man
awoke,
And then he learned to hate.
And the other knew not but the law Of
self,
And the windy desert of scorn,
I'LL he saw there grew flower or two,
Oh! a rose in the patches of thorn;
And he learned to feel that he needs must
kneel,
And found mirth in the morn.
Which of the twain did the woman love?
Now sighs and smiles be sped?.
Which of the twain, in the sun and rain
Was after her heart-or head?
Or hath she lied, in the valley of pride,
That both her lovers be dead?
