Housewives read with joy that on

among them were 700 Irish lassies.

Why One Should Not Sit Down In The
Dark On A Commuters Train,

Why One Should Not Sit Down In The
Dark On A Commuters Train.
The train had just pulled out of the
Erie station in Jersey City. A large,
stout man, who had seated himself in
the smoking car, changed his mind as
the train entered the tunnel. and he
started to get seat in one OIL the
other coaches.
In the coach he entered were many
commuters carrying home household
supplies in packages, says the New
York Sun. The majority carried their
purchases in their arms, but some of
them had laid their bundles beside
them.
The stout man did not hesitate a
moment as to where he would sit, and
ic being very dark in the tunnel he
just took chance and sat down any
where. When he did sit down a crash
ing sound was heard throughout the
car.
Just as the train passed out of the
tunnel the passengers in the coach
were much surprised to see the stout
man standing in the center of the car,
his trousers spattered with broken
eggs. He was in rage and was
swearing.
A glimpse at the seat beside an
elderly man who was loaded down
with parcels told the tale. The stout
man had sat on couple of dozen eggs
that had been placed on the seat
All the passengers sympathized
with the stout man. The elderly man
next to the broken eggs just looked
on and never said a word
The stout man stared hard at him
and evidently suspected him of being
the owner of the eggs. He approached
him and said:
Who owns those COMPOUNDED eggs?
Do you own them?"
No, sir Know nothing about
them" answered the elderly man.
This answer left the stout man
nothing to do but keep cool, as he
could not prove that the elderly man
was the owner of the eggs. The con-
ductor came upon the scene at this
juncture and cleaned the seat as best
he could. The stout man decided to
stand up for the rest of his journey,
and when he left the train at Pater-
son he shook his fist at the elderly
man.

The Beautiful Elder Duck and it's

During the summer months much of
the land becomes free from snow and

dust PARTICLES. In this season the an
birds have, by way of change, less

their presence if the white dress of

makes it possible for the foxes, ducks,

a natural vanity by putting ON, for a
time at least another coat. In win
ter, white is again worn. The back
ground is now snow and ice, and the
only chance which the Arctic chicken

SAD AFRICAN CHILDHOOD.
Slight Pleasure in Land Still Cursed
by Slavery.

Rev. F. Coillard in Sunday School
Times.-Children' life among the ma
tive tribes north of the Zambesi is as
unlike as possible the children's life
in Europe, or, dare say, in America.
The curse of slavery in blighting
human existence has not spared the
children. They are the richest part
of the booay Of a raid. They are
wrenched from their mothers arms
despite their tears, and often, when
they prove too troublesome on the
road, their heads are mercf1essly
smashed with club. Those who have
fortitude enough to swallow their
grief, and to endure the hardships of
the journey, are like so many head of
cattle, and, allotted generally to their
captors, become the slaves of other
slaves. Little girls 5 or years old
carry babies on their backs almost as

OIL ON BLooD-soAKEp GROUND.

Operations will shortly begin in a
new field of the Kentucky oil pet.
Captain S. d. Bottom, who owns the
noted Perryville battlefield, ten miles
west of Danville, has contracted with
New York syndicate for the boring
of wells on the field, which is claimed
tc be rich in surface indications.
Here in 1868, a well was drilled to
the depth of 500 feet by New YORK
parties, who leased many thousand
acres in West Boyle for development
purposes. On the morning preceding
the bloody conflict between the forces
of Buel and Bragg, the expert drilers,
who were boarding with Colonel Sam.
uel Bottom, father of Captain S. D.
Bottom, as usual went to their work.
During the day the soldiery of the
north and south met, and by O'Clock
in the afternoon the soil around the
prospective well was soaked in human
blood, and more than 1000 men who
had been cut down in the bloody fight
lay in heaps around the hole in ths
ground. Six hundred of the bodies
were buried on the spot and nearly
500 were brought to Danville and IN
tered in Bellevue cemetery.
From that day to this, nothing what
ever has been heard of the drillers OF
the head promoters, and it is sup
posed they joined the army or were
killed in the conflict. Repeated letters
addressed to their former place IN
New York we're returned to Colonel
Bottom by the postal authorities.
Portions of the old machinery are
still on the ground. The well showed
