Ben was one day when he left him in
Maverick square. Ben was never
hitched, and, attracted by the smell of
fresh paint on a brond ney tree box
sign, he walked over and began to nib
bic at it. The doctor turned him away
from it and left him again, telling him
to leave it alone. But that paint was
very good, and in a few minutes Ben
was back at it again. Once more he
was turned away, scolded and left ON
his honor. Once more the fascination
of the flavor overcame him. And then
the doctor laid the whip over him good
and hard, full length, to the astOnish-
ment of a bystander who knew the
horse we'll. Ben accepted his punish
ment without moving. You take des-
perate chances" said the bystander.
He knew he had it coming to him."
was the only reply the doctor deigned
to make.
All East Boston knew and loved Ben.
The insurance agent who came to ad-
just the Doctors claim after the fire
found this out. DR.. O'Shea declined to
set price on Ben, but referred the
agent to one man after another whom
they met in the street. He was worth
a thousand, and you can never replace
him. was what every one of them said.

Is 1862:

about high prices in iron. in fOodstuffs
and in many manufactured products.
Temporarily these prices are injurious
to the consumer, but On the whole this
is Offset in part by the more general
employment of the people and the
greater prosperity Of farmers. of rail-
roads and Of manufacturers than We
have ever seen in the past. But natu-
raj causes, which have brought about
these high prices. must gradually bring
about in most cases lower prices. In
foodstuffs, where we have high prices
largely by reason of last years corn
shortage. We shall have somewhat low
er prices by reason of the enormous in
crease in our corn crop this year over
last.
What boots the loss Of a few mil
lion dollars In the volume of our eX-
ports or a few million dollars in the in
crease of our imports when our whole
foreign trade is less than a per cent. of
the trade of the country, when the de-
crease on the one side and increase on
the other are due to our very prospect
ty? England, Fance and Germany inn
port vastly more than they export, but
nobody ever imagines that this means
poverty to either of these countries, nor
do we hear of their bankers becoming
unduly alarmed at such temporary and
comparatively trifing changes in for
eign trade as we have recently had.
Might it not be better for our bankers,
while discouraging the speculation and
overcapitalization gathered around
some of them in the great financial CEN
tiers of the country, to recognize the
fact that if our prosperity should break
down when based on such conditions as
now prevail. it will be due to their in
ability to measure up to the opportuni-
ty and responsibility which rest upon
them as the controlling powers in
financing the business interests of the
country? '-New Orleans States.

An Extraordinary shower.

Daniel O'Conneli. the Irish agitator.
once complained in the house OF COM
mons of report of speech in Lon
don newspaper which, he said, put into
his mouth opinions he had never ex-
pressed. He vowed that IL the editor
did not apologize he would move that
he be brought to the bar for breach
of privilege.
Next day the reporter of the speech
waited upon O'Connell and gave most
remarkable explanation. He stated that
during his walk from the house to his
Office in Fleet street the rain strea med
into his pockets and Obliterated the
notes OF his speech.
II accept the explanation" said
O'Connell. good humoredly. but let
me say that 1t must have been very
extraordinary shower of rain. for 1t

The neaf MutA'a story.

"The most pathetic story ever
heard" said Senator Hoar once, was
told by Professor Gallaudet. The pro-
fessor had a favorite pupil, little
deaf mute boy, exceptionally bright.
Mr.. Gallaudet asked him il he knew
the story OF George Washington and
the cherry tree.
with his nimble fingers the little
fellow said he did, and then he pro-
ceeded to repeat it. The noiseless ges-
ticulations continued until the boy had
informed the professor of the elder
Washington's discovery of the mutilat-
ed tree and of his quest for the mutt
lator.
when Georges father asked him
who hacked his favorite cherry tree.
signaled the yoiceless child, George
put his hatchet In his left hand
"'Stop. interrupted the professor.
Where did you get your authority for
saying he took the Ratchet in his left
hand"
why responded the boy, he
needed bis right hand to tell his father
that be cut the tree"

Holy Coat of TreYes.

The holy coat preserved at Treves, In
Germany, is claimed to be the seamless
garment worn by Christ and for which
the Roman soldiers cast lots during the
crucifixion. 1t is tunic about FIVE feet
long. cut narrow at the shoulders and
gradually widening toward the knees.
Many miracles are said to have been
performed by this robe.
Its history for the last 700 years Is
clear enough. but darkness shrouds
the story of the relic prior to the
twelfth century. The Catholic church
relies for proof of its authenticity upon
a tradition that it was one OF chest
full of relics sent as gift to the
church at Treyes by the Empress Hell
ena. She is said to have found the
coat at Jerusalem while In search Of
the true cross.
A legend says that in the ninth Gen.
tury the holy coat was concealed from
the Normans in crypt Of the cathe'
Gral There 1t remained forgotten until
1896 when 1t was rediscoyered and
placed In the high altar.

A..uminw Husbands Namss.


The practice Of the wife assuming
the husban and's name. at marriage, ac-
cording to DIR. Brewer, originated from
a Roman custom and became the COM
mon custom after the Roman occupa-
ton. Thus Julia and Octavia, married
to Pompey and Cicero. were called by
the Romans Julia Of Pompey, Octavia
Of Cicero, and in latter times married
women In most European countries
signed their names in the same manner,
but omitted the 'of" Against this
view may be mentioned that during the
sixteenth and even at the beginning OF
the seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful, since we find Catha-
rine rarr go signing herself after she
had been twice married, and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey (not
Dudley, Arabella Stuart mot Sey-
nour), etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
rs Rracton (died 126S,, and it was de
cided in the case of Bon versus Smith
In the reign of Elizabeth that woman
hy marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus
band Altogether the custom Is involV-
ell in much obscurity.

How 20 Light q SOLID Body.

Cadogan Morgan was the first eIec-
trician to experiment with electric light
in solid bodies. This was in 1856. He
first inserted two wires into n stick of
wood and caused the spark to pass be-
tween them. This had the effect OF H.
Illuminating the stick beautiful blood
red. An ivory ball, an orange or an ap-
pie may be lighted in the same manner.
Some experimenters prefer the lemon
for this purpose, it being very suscepd-
BILE to the electric discharge, flashing
forth at every spark as spheroid Of
brilliant golden light. The wires used
within about half an inch OF each other
inside the lemon.
