Kind Heartedness.

The gingham-shirted boy had made
a break to pass the ticket seller at the
circus entrance, but that gentleman
had caught him and rudely thrust him
back.
Poor little beggar," said a seedy
looking man in the crowd. 'If had
the money I'd buy him q ticket my
self"
The crowd looked sympathetic, but
said nothing. while the boy sobbed as
If his heart would dissolve.
"I've only got nickel, little feller,"
went on the seedy looking one, IAN
that won't do you no good. Say" he
continued, turning suddenly to the
crowd, "let's buy him a ticket"
It looked for minute as If collec-
ton was to be started, but a benevol-
ent looking old gentleman nipped it
in the bud by slipping a half-dollar
into the hand Of the boy, who prompt
ly disappeared into the tent.
II thank you a thousand times for
that kind act, sir" said the seedy look
ing man.
"You seem to take quite an interest
in the little fellow" remarked the
benevolent one.
"Well, I should think I ought to-"
answered the seedy looking man
proudly. "That's the only son I got"

Need of Education.

DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler says: Our sue.
cess during the new century will depend,
in my humble judgment, on the following
methods and measures. () Unless peo-
pie are educated and influenced not to use
intoxicants, all legal attempts to prohibit
their sale can achieve only very limited
success (2) Pulpits, parents and schools.
(Sunday and secular) must do most OF
this educating. 81 The Church of Christ
must fight the drink evil (Which often
means the damnation of souls) just as it
fights theft, profanity or adultery. "a
The license system, a clumsy attempt to
regulate a public mischief, ought to be
abolished altogether. (5) Corporations and
all employers ought to require abstinence
from intoxicants as essential to secure
employment. (6) "Cofee-taverns" and
other social resorts where ardent spirits
are excluded are available antidotes to the
rum saloons among the laboring classes.
CD Every State should give to every town
the right to close up by popular vote every
drinking haunt within its borders. If the
twentieth century works these seven lew
ers it will give mighty lift to the temper
ance reform"

Skeleton of Eight-Foot Dane

The skeleton Of man Of large size
and development has been discovered
near the Trent bank at Gainsborough.
In the neighborhood of Chapel Staithe
the Urban Council are widening Silver
street, and some old property is under
going demolition. Human bones have
been found in large quantities in the
neighborhood of Chapel Staithe, and
the general supposition is that they are
the remains of Danish marauders, who
fell in fight, the condition of some of
the bones that have been discovered
from time to time in savage warfare.
One of the thigh bones must have be-
longed to q man eight feet high.

LOVE AMONG sAvAGEs.

Among the Arabs Of Upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to girl must sub
init to whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives; and, says dry mar
rator, IF he wishes to- be considered
worth having, he must receive the chas-
tisement which is sometimes exceed
ingly severe, with an expression Of en-
joyment."
Not infrequently 1t is the maiden her
self who imposes the test The Sakala-
va girls Of Madagascar make their low
ers stand at short distance from a
clever spear-thrower and catch between
the arm and side every weapon flung at
them. If the youth displays fear or
fails to catch the spear, he Is ignomini-
ing and the spears are caught, he is at
once proclaimed an accepted lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongolowee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits Of two rivals, the young
lady fastens sharply-pointed knife to
each elbow, then, seating herself be-
tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs; and the hero
who takes the greatest lengthof steel
without a murmur wins the bride.
