HAPPENINGS IN j..
PLEASANT ALLEY:
BY H. F.. jGETHEN

When Joe Robins was*7little over 20
he decided to bring home wife, and
with doubts and fearsHhis mother con-
sented, for the girl was a young crea-
ture living in PLEASANT" alley, where.
the domestic arts OF needlework and
cooking were held ofHYery small ac-
count. |s
The wedding took place one Sunday
morning, and many ot#the Inhabitants
OF the alley went to look on. They con-
sidered flowers and rice the CHIEF cs-
sentials of the CEREMONY, and when
Joe and his bride emerged from the
church a shower of rice overlook them,
singing painfully on hecks and ears;
another and another handful followed
until the couple fairy started of to
run, and by sheer speed they distanced
their pursuers and ook}refuge breath
lessly in Pleasant" alley.
Joe's mother, Mrs Robins, thought OF
her own wedding day midst sweeter
surroundings than those, for she'd been
married down in tho country on a
lovely morning in May. But she
brushed OF tue riceAfrom her new
daughters fine hat, and smoothed down
the pretty woollen goRn->her own gift,
of which the girl was inordinately
proud. The/two actions were typical
Of Mrs. Robins, for she brushed aside
small annoyances and smoothed down
every difficulty she could, making their
rough lives more endurable.
/ Her grandchildren were a great Joy
to Mrs. Robins, and her favorite was a
second little Joe, who took after his
father" she said. But, alas! there came
one bitter winter when work was very
scarce, and strikes had so far only
made the wages lower.
Even the weather is agen u.s." said
hollow-cheeked men Ito each other,
whilst the hungry-eyed women hpt in
doors. IT
And then Mrs. Robins fell i'll, and
her son and his wife had no work, and
the children grew pinched and poor
looking. though they Jared better than
most. y.

ance when the wolf was not far from
the door.
Yes, I'll go there now, DOCTOR" she
said, meekly, "but not for the chance

for myself, sir; but twill be easier for
Joe and his missis and the children.

The Age Of Lead.

We are wont to speak Of this ers
as the "age of iron," and there IS no :: !
gainsaying that, industrially speaking:
iron is a precious metal" !;
Nevertheless, few people realize;
how useful, If not absolutely neces-.
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quali-
ties are what give it such prominent ]
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistfngs, but withal
tight joints, Would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs,' monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what field Of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty Inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts Of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
"white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are "just as good as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal. lead, corroded and
ground to fine white powder and
mixed with Hnseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
"Red lead" is another product OF
metallic lead and is what is known AZ
an oxide of lead. being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron.
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many. other products Of
the metal lead, such :>as litharge,
orange mineral, etc., which are es-
sentia1 to many of the arts In which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as we'll as Of iron.

PRICE OF"CATS.
Quotations Which Show the Value Of

Quotations Which Show the Value Of
Felines.
The price asked for the pedigree
kittens which a member of the royal
family has for sale is not excessive,
says the London Evening Standard
They would probably command high
er figure if sent abroad. There must
be an export trade in cats, for statis-
ticians who look into these matters
find that there is great scarcity of
these, creatures in seaport towns, and
point to overseas marts as the destina-
tion of the missing ones. Southey has
placed it on record that first settlers
in Brazil paid $1,50O for cat, and for
kittens their weight in gold dust. This
is more easily to be credited when it is
learned that a. sum of $4,000 was re-
fused for a Persian cat at the tSyden-
ham cat show some years ago. =

had proved to be more OF strain than
she could bear, but she was quiet and
contented, and, the nurses did their best
to pull her through.
One day when she was feeling little
better she told the nurse who was sit
ting near her at work about her life
in the slums, and how she disliked it
at first; and about little Joey (the
father she meant, not the child), and
of his innocent, successful appeal to
: the neighbors to take care of his

And they've done it. You would
never believe it, my dear; but the
roughest and rudest among 'em took
care OF my Joey and me. They are
very good hearted at bottom and they'd

willing and cheerful they would. But

In response the man put his hand

says you've got his grannie, and he
wants her."
And looking closely at the. tiny fig

his rain of tears and pretty wistful
face, and by him knelt the nurse, her
arm around him, holding his cold
hands towards the kindly blaze. The
solemn porter looked annoyed and puz-
zled at this departure from all printed
rules. The patients, aye, the patients!
The tears were falling down many a
deeply furrowed cheek.
Then the doctor, stepping forward
with that keen bright eye which noted
all things, said:
I"What's all this about, boy? What's
your name?"

walked up from the alley to look for

"How far is that, wonder? Sim

why, sir, it's three miles sure and

"and he's baby to be out alone"
Then the doctor, still as brisk and
quick as ever: Nurse, l shall admit
