Remember The Orphans.

But few people know there is an
orphan asylum in this city. where tor

have been open TO orphan children who
have been carefully trained and given a
home. and not one cent OF State or city
appropriations have helped along this
worthy charity since its inception three

good people interested in this work of
the orphan asylum have lost money

ORNAMENTS STATION GROUNDS.

Officers of several of the big railroad
systems are considering plans to induce
agents and others concerned to make
stronger efforts to beautify station
grounds and buildings. During the
past year or two particular attention
has been given to making the stations
more attractive. The Burlington has
accomplished great deal in this direc-
ton. Last year it issued orders to all
employees that the grounds and build
ings adjacent to the companys right-of-
way must present a neat and attractive
appearance. The company's gardener
gave his especial attention to beautify-
ing the suburban stations for forty
miles out of Chicago. Before last sum-
mer closed, switch shanties, tool houses,
yard offices and round houses had been
prettily covered with running vines and
the grounds about each building con-
verted into fine lawns over which shrub
berry had been planted. During the
coming spring and summer this work
will be greatly extended, and in time
the Burlington expects to have the
most ornamental station grounds in the
west.

A TIGREss WITH A GRUDGE.

She Gets Furious at Sight of n Keep
Who Once Beat Her.
There is lean tigress in the Central
park menagerie who spends part of
the day beating her head against the
iron bars of her cage in a vain attempt
to spring upon one of the keepers.
Ordinarily the animal is quiet enough.
1t is only when this keeper passes
that she ceases to be Il purring cat and
becomes Il fiend incarnate. The other
morning the tigress was in an extreme
ly bad temper. When her fancied en-
envy stuck Il mop in through the bars
to clean her cage. she sprang at him,
growing in thunderous bass. Nearly
everybody i'm the crowd stepped back
involuntarily. The keeper placed an
iron bar in the cage at the great cats
feet and went on with his work, while
the animal snarled in impotent rage
and drew back her upper lip over two
cleaning white fangS.
"She doesn't seem to be fond of you,"
ventured n bystander.
mo, there isn't much love lost be-
tween u.s. replied the keeper. Her
tantrums show that animals treasure
grudges just like people. That tigress
came here eight years ago. \ day or
two after she arrived had to punish
her, and she has never. got over it.
She watches me all day out of the cor
ner of her eye, and every time L go
by the cage she makes jump. 1 sup
pose she thinks she'll get me some
time. II she does, 1 might as well say
goodby."
While the man talked the tigress
looked at him with hate plainly stamp
cd on her face. When he went away,
she watched him until he was lost to
view. Then she resumed her nervous
tramp. tramp.-New York Mail and

Profit. In Fraction. of Cent.

1t is most astonishing that trade
In these days is making its enormous
profits in the fractions OF n cent. In
one of the cities of the country there
was Il bank president who gave his
millions for philanthropic purposes.
During his life, even on the days when
he was almost too intirm to walk, he
would trudge sadly and brokenly to
his home. One day a man met him on
the street and said:
'NNhy don't you take the street carr"
He instantly replied, My dear
friend, do you appreciate the fact that
n hundred dollars would have to work
half n week to pay that fare?"
And yet he gave two millions to a
library and another million to a hos
pital. That is the spirit of modern
money making. On the one hand it
gets the millions through the fractions
OF cents, and with the other it spends
the millions without regard TO deci-

great many do. When an invalid

great Importance should be carefully
considered. No system of treating
diseases will cure all cases, but it is
wise to select the one that makes the

treating are painful and embarrass-

would surely be preferable. The OPP
