y story OF Tom MARSHALL.

Tom Marshall, Kentucky's famous
wit, attended Il p~hrenologist's lecture
one night. Marshall had been drinking,
and when he returned to his hotel after
the lecture he drank more. The drink
gave him belief in his chronological
powers, and he declared that he could

So it Was decided to test his skill upon
some Of the guests of the hotel. Both
ladies and gentlemen assembled in the
parlor, and Marshall, who knew most
of them. furnished an hours uproari-
Gus fun by hitting Off their failings.

The Jan Baby.

How do you suppose the babies in
Japan take an airing? III baby car
riages, you say? OF course not. The
Japanese never do anything the way
we do it. When the baby's about three
days old it goes out for it's first glimpse
of the world strapped on somebody's
back, and that's the Way it goes every
day till it al go on its own feet.
Sometimes it's mother or its nurse
takes it, but very often it rides on the
back Of a brother or sister. who is per-
haps not more than four or five years
old. These little nurses don't seem to
be troubled at all by their charges, as
you would suppose. They play ball
and tag and run races and fly kites in
spite of the heavy loads on their backs.
What is more remarkable, the babies
are perfectly happy and hardly ever
cry, though when their young nurses
run with them the poor babies faces
bang back and forth against their care
takers shoulders till an American baby
would howl with pain and rage.-Ber-
tina Runkle in st. Nicholas.

CaterpiIlars Of Skim,

In the s~al-tree forest Of Skim, in the
tropical gorge of the Teesta. is one of
h breeding grounds of the myriad
butterflies that swarm over the u
try. A famous traveller says that in
May and until the middle Of June the
tender leaves Of the great sal-trees are
literally alive with yoracious caterpil-
lars. The presence of these c%aterpillars
in such Overwhelming numbers is ex-
planned by the fact that they are dis
tasteful to birds. Fowls that were offer
ed them rejected them after a trial
with disgust and went on wiping their
bills for some time afterward. There
are two species, n 4 bright coral and
the other green with stripes. They can

A Legend of the seven stars.

To the naked eye six of the Pleiades,
or "Seven Stars" seem to be Of about
the same m~agnitudes, While the sev-
enth is very dim. The dim star, the
legend says, is Merope, one Of the sew

her paleness is a punishment visited
upon her for having married a mortal.
The other sisters all married gods.
Alcyone and Celaeno married Neptune.
Electra, Maia and Taygeta were we'd

What BECOMES Of pins.

Although we are told when the ques-
ton is asked, What becomes Of pins?
that they fall to the earth and become
terrapins. q gentleman has gone to
some trouble to find out that this is not
so and to give us the correct answer.
He has found that pins are resolved in
to dust. Hairpins which he watched
for 154 days disappeared by rusting
away at the end of that time. Bright
pins took neuriy eight months to dis
appear. polished steel needles nearly
two years and a half; brass pins had
little endurance; steel pens were nearly
gone at the end of eighteen months,
though their wooden holders were still

This is best accomplished by tie

Remedy. This remedy liqnifes
the tough mueus and causes its
expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs, produces a free expectora-
ton, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows. This
remedy will cure a severe cold in

EARLY American rheatrtca1s.

The earliest attempt to introduce
theatrical performances in this
try was made about 1856 in New Eng

spoke SO forcibly in opposition to the
project that it was speedily abandoned.
The first theatrical performance in New

play was Richard Ill., Thomas Kean,
