END OF PET DEVASTATION.
New Yorker Finally Rid Of the Dis
pissed High Hat.

Ihere is certain man in New York
whose pet detestation is high hat.
In his journey through life he has &C.
CURED many dislikes, some prejudices.
and few hatreds-but his feeling
toward high hat goes far beyond the
limits implied by the mild word
hatred" '...... @.,-.
However, family influences were
brought to bear on him when he had
reached the proper milestone in his
life, and these influences were so
strong and insistent that eventually
the man In question purchased high
hat; what is more. he actually
donned it, :-... =
But his hatred abated not jot. In
fact, 1t grew. He used to open his
Eatbox and eye the hat viciously, MUIR
derously. But thoughts of what the
family would say If he should adopt
violent measures always deferred him,
and every time he shut the Box again.
leaving the thing unframed, and
vented his rage in profanity. -:
Once he and his family went to
live at hotel in the country. And
1890 AA6NNI Wall dpp1AAA65
that hotel caught fire.
Fortunately, everybody in it was
able to get out In safety. The young
man of the hat, after counting heads,
and seeing that his people were out of
danger, decided to dash into the burn
Ing building once more-there was
still a bit of time-in order to see
whether he might rescue a few more
things from his room. In the excite
ment attendant on the discovery of
the fire the hotel guests had been
obliged to look to their personal safe
ty, without thinking overmuch of that
of their belongings. Z
Well, the young man, plunging gal
lantly through flame and smoke,
reached his room. There, the first
thing which caught his eye was the
high hat.
With a look of diabolical glee he re.
garded it for few seconds. Then
with an exclamation of delight-he
kicked it into the inmost part of the
room, into cracking flame and eddy
ing smoke, far from all possible
means Of escape. .....
Then, diabolical glee still illumining
his features, he emerged happy
man.

His Mind Was Made Up.

1t was during trial in an Alabama
city more than 20 years ago that one
Of the jurors suddenly rose from his
seat and precipitately fed from the
court room. He was arrested in his
flight before he had left the building,
and brought back.
What do You mean by running off
in that -&ay?" asked the Judge, who
knew the man to be simple, honest
farmer.
Its like this, your honor" said the
man, earnestly. when Mr.. Hobbs
finished talking my mind was all clear,
but when Mr.. Clayton began l was all
confused again, and l said to myself
I'd better leave at once, and stay
away till he's done for to tell the
truth, l didn't like the way the argu-
ment was going, your honor

seaauIl. Of Auehmlthle.

In the fishing village OF Auchmithie
you may frequently witness seagulls
flying into the houses Of the fishermen
and partaking of food from their
hands. One Of these sea birds was in
the habit Of staying in a fisherman's
house all the5year round except at the
breeding seagon, when it left. About
fortnight ago, while the gull was
away, the fisherman removed his home
some 3% miles from the former place.
The fisherman never expected to see
his old friend the gull again. 1t was
therefore much to his establishment
that he beheld on recent Sunday the
sea bird come walking into his new
residence with stately steps to resume
his old familiarities and household.

Brazilian cocoanut palms live from

that the date palm frequently reaches
the age Of 200 to 300 years. Wallan's

to be more than 700 years old, and
there are eight olive trees on the
Mount Of Olives, near Jerusalem,

The Dirtiest Stream.

The dirtiest stream in America Is
the Youghiogheny river at McKees-
port, Pa, according to a bulletin Of
me United States geological survey,
says a reviewer in the Municipal
Journal and Engineer. I'm the stream,
according to the report, the average
quantity. of dissolved mineral matter
Is 1928 pounds per 1000 gallons, or
$4,000 tons year, and of suspended
matter 2.12 poGndB per 1000 gallons;
or 1,O2S,00O tons year. For each
acre Of tributary drainage area, there
fore, the stream carries past McKees-
port every day 7.97 pounds of mate
rial, or about rs rer cent more than
any other .stream examined. Over
two-thirds Of this material, however,
is doubtless derived from the mills
and factories that line it's banks for
the last few miles of it's course"

Painless Death for Animals.

How to destroy surplus kittens or
puppies in a painless way, without
calling into use the old-fashioned
method of bag and pail of water is
told In the annual report Of the Lon
don Institute for Lost and Starving
Cats. The directions are as follows:
Take a dish cover, place it where it
can be pressed into the mold Of the
garden, or, in default of this, on an
old cushion, SO that the latter bulges
out all around and makes the cover
air tight. Place the animals beneath
and pour four ounces Of pure chloro-
form on wadding. Push the wadding
under the cover, hold the cover down
for three or four minutes and then
leave undisturbod 70" ono hour. The
body must be stiff before burial"

FIND COMFORT IN THE NIGHT.
Small Sorrows Qr' ~" Vanish in Its
Friendly shade.

And yet 1t seems so full Of comfort
and strength, the night. In its great
presence, our small sorrows creep
away ashamed. The day has been
full Of fret and care, and our hearts
have beef so full of bitter thoughts,
and the world has seemed so hard and
wrong to us. Then, night, like some
great loving mother, gently lays her
hand upon our fevered heads and
turns our little tear-stained faces up
to hers. and smiles; and though she
does not speak, we know what she
would say, and lay our hot, flushed
cheek. against her bosom, and the
pain is gone. " .s..g
Nights heart is full of pity for US;
she takes our. hand in hers, and the
little world grows very small and very
far away beneath us, and borne on
her dark wings we pass for a moment
into mightier presehce than her own.
and in the wondrous Hight Of that
great presence all human life lies
like bark before us, md We know
that pain and; sorrow are but the
angels of God.-Jerome K. Jerome.

BOSTON WAR IS
NEARING CLOSE

Boston, Mass, Aug. 17.-At the
conclusion OF today's maneu7ers in the
war game in which the army of the
Red under Brig. Gen. Tucker Bliss,
is striving to defeat the army of the
Blue, commanded by Brigadier Gen
VIM. A. Pew, Jr., and capture Boston,
the army of the Red made material
advance, and unless Gen. Pew, of the
defenders can concentrate his troops
tomorrow, to meet the attack of the
troops which Gen. Bliss has massed
heavily on the Blues left, Gen. Pew
faces defeat.
The two armies tonight are less
than a dozen miles apart. Pew's
quarters are still at Robins Pond, six
miles from Bridgewater, while Gen.
Bliss has made a material advance
from a point eight miles southeast of
Midd1eboro, where his headquarters
were last night at Eddyville, which is
eight miles northeast of Mtddleboro.
