Old Joe, the Night Waterman.

tFrom the Pail Mall Gazette, London)
How often on returning home late on
dreary winters night has our sympathy
gone out to the poor old night Waterman
as he sat huddled up over his cage fire,
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or other
WISE allow the different water companies
to make so frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under all
climatic conditions, the poor old night
Waterman is obliged to keep watch over
the companies property, and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What a
life, to be sure; what privatons and hard
ships; no wonder they have aches and
pains, which nothing but st. Jacobs Oil
can alleviate.
"Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lam
beth Water Works. He has been night
Waterman for many years, in the course
of which he has undergone many eXperi-
ences. What with wet and cold he COLI
tracted rheumatism and sciatica, which
fairly doubled him up. and it began to
look Il serious matter for old Joe; it look
ed extremely doubtful if he would much
longer be able to perform his duties, on
which his good wife and himself depends
ed for a livelihood; but as it happened Il
passerby, who had for some nights no.
ticed Old Joe's painful condition, present
ed him with a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil,
and told him to use it. Old Joe followed
the advice given; he crawled home the
next morning and badc his wife rub his
aching back with the st. Jacobs Oil "a
gentleman gave him. and undoubtedly
his wife did rub. for when Old joe went
on duty at night he met his friend and
benefactor, to whom he remarked:
Them Oils YOU gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me doing. they was like pins and
needles for time, but look at me now"
and Old Joe began to run and jump like
Il young colt All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gonc, he had been telling
everybody he met what st. Jacobs Oil
had done for him. Old Joe says now he
has but one ambition in life, and that is
to always to be able to keep a bottle OF
st. Jacobs Oil by him, for he says there
is nothing like it in the world.
St. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and the
poor, high and low, the same way. II
has conquered pain for fifty years, and il
will do the same to the end of time. Sim.
pie facts like the above tell an honest tale
with which nothing on earth can com
pete.

Before the Flood.

Washington Star: why" said the
mar who does not believe in a large
navy, should We go to the expense of
building more ships?"
Well answered the man who does
not jump at conclusions; you know
that is what Noah's neighbors said
before the flood"

When the Sweet Sap OrIps.

Once more they're making ready for the
drip, drip, drip,
OF the sugary sap that trickles from the
bare-imbed maple trees;
Ere long the farmer boysl turn the buck
cts up and sip
wishes most to please:
f5$s can Sc the wood smoke curling:
I can hear the brook that's purliDS
4 Past the sugar house that's standing on
the little grassy knoll;
~ In my fancy can hear
az The first robin singing near,
And an old, delightful longing takes pos
session CT my soul.

THE LUCK OF ECENHALL.
Sir Richard Muserave's Fairy Goblet
In tho Bank Of Enaland.

London Telegraph: Many things OF
priceless value are stored in the strong
rooms and vaults Of the Bank of Eng
land, but it is doubtful whether they
have ever before. contained an article at
tributed to the manufacture of real fairies
like the glass beaker,'' known as the
Luck of IIdenhall,'' which, it is report
ed, has been irtrusted for safe custody
10 the authorities in Threadneedle street,
owing to Sir Richard MusgraVe having
let for a time his residence in Cumber-
land. 1t is composed Of very thin glass,
oriiamented on the outside with a variety
of finely executed colored devices, and
the fact that the leather case in which it
is enclosed bears the sacred monogram
Tbs" mas led to the belief that it was
originally intended for a chalice. Its his
tory is unknown, but the tradition is to
the effect that one of the servitors at
Edenhall surprised at nighttime a band Of
fairies disporting around ST. Cuthbert's
we'll in the grounds Of the mansion and
took the cup from them. As they flew
away one of them plped:
If this glass do break or fall
Farewell the luck of Edenhall.
Since then the supernatural article ha:
remained an heirloom of the family.
Longfellow, in one of his poems, allows
the beaker to be broken, but this was
merely fight of poetic Imagination. 1t
is intact in every particular, and is likely
to remain so in the keeping of the bank
The only other vitreous article extant al
legged TO be of supernatural origin is the
glass 'chanter" of the Clan Citation at
Cluny castle, which is supposed to have
come from the skies while a great battle
was going on.
