Conductor Sold Fish.

the following is taken from a New
York paper published in 1883: 1t is
we'll known that the Portsmouth rail-
read has to turn everything to account
to pay running expenses, and many are
the jokes they perpetrate upon the
conductors in reference to their shifts
to get a living. 1t is said that one of
them last year was accustomed to
bring fish from Portsmouth and peddle
them out at the stopping places ON the
way to Concord. One day he brought
along smelts, dealing out to customers
at every station till he got to Suncook,
where he blew his horn, and an old
woman came out and wanted six, "just
a pattern-all I've got left, you're in
the nick of time" said he, and he be-
gan to count them and found only
five. "How's this? I should have SIX

a little while, Il have it; hold on a lit
tie while and I'll be back" said he, and
he ran the train back seven miles to a
place where he let a woman have one
more than she paid for, got it, came
to Suncook, and let the old woman
have tne six she wanted, and then the
asmelt'' train went to Concord. As.

Biue-Eyes and Brown-Eyes.
Brown-Eyes sleeps In an attic cot,
Blue Eyes dreams In q dainty bed,
Brown-Eyes goes hungry as often as not,
Blue-Eyes has butter and jam on his
bread.
But I'd rather be Brown-Eyes, I tell you
true,
And 50. / am sure, would you-and you'll
For whenever Brown-Eyes Is tired or sad,
He has only to climb the attic stair,

In the handsomest garments that gold can

But no mothers kiss has his whole life
blessed
He longs for one, yainly. as days go by;
Brown-Eyes, he knows, Is his mothers de-

She kisses him morning and noon and night.
So Blue-Eyes wears always a wistful smile.
(He tries to be happy, but how can 1t be?)
While ~Brown-Eyes grows happier all the

Rollicking, joyous and gay is he.
So I'd rather be Brown-Eyes, tell you true,
Now answer me honestly! Wouldn't you?

ORIGIN or COFFEE.


Dervish Discovered Uses or the Berry Gem
turtles Ago.
AS to the history of coffee the legend
runs that it was first found growing
wild in Arabia. Hadji Omar, a derv.
ish. discovered 1t In 1885. GIT year,
ago. He was dying of hunger In thu
wilderness. when, finding some snhat
round berries, he tried to eat them, bul
they were bitter. He tried roasting
them, and these he finally stepped IL
some water held in, the hollow Of hit
hand, and found the decoctfon as re
freshing as If he had partaken of solit
food. He hurried back to Mocha, from
which he had been banished, and, in
viting the wise. men to partake of hfi
discovery they were SO well pleased
with 1t that they made him a saint. $
The story is told that coffee was In
troduced into the West Inudies in 172i
by Chirac. a French physician, wis
gave a Norman gentleman by the namt
of De Clieux, a captain of infantry, OF
his way to Martinique, a single plant
The sea voyage was a stormy one. thu
vessel was driven out of her courst
and drinking water became so scarct
that 1t was distributed in rations. d.
Clieux, with an affection for his COFFEE
plant, divided his portion of water with
1t, and succeeded in bringing it to Mar
Unique, although weak, not in a hope
less condition. There he planted it IL
his garden. protected it with a fence OF
thorns, and watched it daily until thu
crop matured, yielding several pounds
of coffee, which he distributed among
the inhabitants of the island to be
planted by them. From Martinique
coffee trees in turn were sent to Santc
Domingo, Guadalupe and other neigh
boring islands.
The coffee tree is an evergreen shrub
growing in its natural state to a height
Of fourteen to eighteen feet. 1t is usu

The most successful climate for pro
duction is that found at an altitude OF
about 1000 feet. Anything much above
this is in danger of frost, which is ia.
tai to the tree, and when coffee is
grown much below this it requires arti
fetal shade, which materially increases
the cost of production and does moi
produce as marketable berries. 1t is
owing to this particular requirement
that coffee has never been successfully
produced in the United States.-Suc.

Victims Of Ak In London.


Upon just and unjust, innocent and
guilty alike, the headsman's ak used
too often to fall in the bad old days
when the Tower was the state prison
Of London. Poor Lady Jane Grey and
gallant Sir Walter Raleigh were among
its victims. The last to be beheaded in
the famous fortress were three Scots
men who had played a prominent part
in the Jacobite rising in 1745. These
were the Earl of Kilmarnock, Lord
Balmerino and Simon Lord Lovat.
The last was the last to be executed
Tin 1747). Before he was put to death
a wooden structure. with some specta-
tors, tumbled down.. and some of the
people on it were hurt. The old man
laughed at the accident, and said: 1.-THE
mair mischief, the mair sport" He is
described as the greatest rascal of his
day, but died game anyhow. Be
fore the ak fell he quoted Horace's no
BILE line, which runs in English: Sweet
and glorious it is to die for ones eoun-

GROWING OLD.


Ia II parting with the roundness
Of the smoothly nodded cheek?
Is it losing from the dimples
Half the flashing joy they speak?
IL it fading Of the luster
From the wavy, golden hair?
o it finding ON the forehead
Craven lines of thought and care?
Is it dropping, as the rose-leaves
Drop their sweetness overblown.
Household names that once were dearer,
More familiar thar our own?
LIS it meeting on the pathway
Faces strange and glances cold,
While the soul with moan and shiver
Whispers sadly, Growing old?"
is it frowning at the folly
Of the ardent hopes of youth?
Is 1t cynic melancholy
At the rarity of truth?
Is it disbelief in loving?
Selfish hate or miser's greed?
Then such blight of natures noblest
Is a growing old" indeed.

A chiIdren's Farm.

Last summer a children's school
farm was opened in one of the most
crowded districts of New York. An un-
improved site on West Ffty-third
street, reserved for a future park, and
long used as a dumping ground, was
chosen for the experiment. The story
of this farm is told by Miss Fannie G.
Parsons in The Outlook:
'"The question of how to control an
unruly mob of children of various ages
promised difficulties, but as soon as the
children ceased to be onlookers and be-
came workers, there was no trouble.
The park department gardeners who
prepared the ground were Swedes, and
as in their own country they had en-
joyed school gardens, they entered in
to the spirit of the farm and let the
children help.
1.-THE farm grew to perfection from
the SUGGESTIONS of these men, the pa
rents and police; one of the latter say
ing, These children win never obey
until the tent is made more beauti-
full than anything they have eve
seem Following this suggestion, a
floor was laid and a box of blooming
plants was placed around the whole
tent, rs feet by 35 feet. The effect was
magical.
"Once a week in the tent a round
tub was filled with water, ON whose
bosom fioated a mass of water lilies in
all their rich, cool, native beauty.
Their subtle influence seemed to reach
all. Making a beautiful park or maxi
ing a beautiful garden with the Don't
touch sign is like eating luscious
fruit before hungry children; they
want some, too. So at stated times a
basketful of cut flowers was distribut-
ed in the tent, SO satisfying the whole
some longing aroused by the boxes of
plants, which were to be respected"

But the silver thread THAT shineth
Whitley in the thinning tress,
And the pallor where the bloom was,
Need not tell of bitterness;
And the brow's more earnest writing
Where it once was marble fair,
May be but the spirits tracing
Of the peace of answered prayer.
If the smile has gone in deeper,
And the tears more quickly start,
Both together meet in music
Low and tender in the heart;
And in Others JOY and gladness,
When the life can find its own,
Surely angels learn to listen
To the sweetness of the tone.
On the gradual sloping pathway,
AS the passing years decline.
Cleans a golden love-light falling
Far from upper heights divine
And the shadows from that brightness
Wrap them softly in their fold,
Who unto celestial whiteness
Walk, by way of growing old.

self i'll enough to go to bed, but she is far
from being able to do her work without
the greatest exhaustion This is a very
common sight, and is almost always due TO
pelvic catarrh.
II is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a dis
ease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as well as q slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length Of time that it should be taken to
effect a cure.
