HAVE QUEER GIFT
SteepIe Jacks Must Be Men Without
Neryes-Only Those Who Are Born
to the Work Make Good i'm PerilOus
OccupatiOn-CaIls for Infinite Cool.
ness and Resource.

Its a good business-a pretty good
business, if nothing happens" said a
steeple-jack, speaking of his calling,
which obliged him to repair a Chin
ney-top" 200 or 300 feet from the
ground.
The steeple-jack's ability to keep
his head and his feet, while working
on a top" which is a ledge, three
feet wide, between abysses 500 feet
deep, is a gift. Like the poet the
steeple-jack is born, not made. Charles
WatertOn, the naturalist, had the gift,
and would have adorned the profess
sion-the only one into which men
do not drift.
When on a visit to Rome, Waterton
determined to rival the feats Of the
Italian climbers who yearly scaled the
dome Of st. Peters and the pinnacles
OF the castle Of st. Angelo, to illum-
mate their SUBMITS on the feast of st.
Peter. Eighty men used to climb. the
dome on two successive nights, and
the boldest completed the spectacle by
browning the cross with waving
torch of fire. Each nights show was
said, on the average, to cost a mans
daylight, and left his glove upon the
vane.
A steeple-jack employed entirely
alone to mend tall chimney-top in
Pennsylvania, used to ascend leisurely
every morning about ten o'clock, at
an hour when merchants most do
congregate; and when up, after sur
veying the gathered spectators, would
further crafty them by standing on
his head on the bare top Of the $50
foot shaft.
The GOODNESS and resources of these
men were never better shown than in
a case which happened in upper New
York state a few years ago. A steeple-
jack had flown his kite over chimney,
and subsequently drawn himself up to
the top. He was just beginning his
inspection Of the work, when by some
mishap he dropped his rope, and was
left, like st. Simeon Stylites, alone
on his pillar
Attempts were made to fly another
kite over him, but the wind had
dropped. There were iron ladders in
side the chimney, but the fires would
have to be drawn, and the chimney let
cool for hours
The steeple-jack was then seen to
unlace one Of his shoes, take off the
long blue stocking worn by workmen,
and set to work carefully to unravel
it, knotting the pieces of yard togeth-
er when necessary.
He then fastened a stone to the end,
plumbed the depth, picked the other
stocking to pieces, and added it to the
first length of yarn, and let it down
far enough to meet a tall ladder, from
which he drew up, first a piece of
strong string, next rope, and then,
after completing his inspection of
the chimney-top, lowered himself to
the ground.

Mary Jane Petry, aged II years, 10 months and q

A loving mother from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Day by day we saw her fade
And slowly sink away;
Yet in our hearts often prayed
That she might longer stay.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the we loved so dearly,
In her lonely silent grave
BY HER CHILDREN.

HOG WAS FED ON SCRAP IRON
SO Nails i'm Stomach Explained Pork
er's Astonishing Weight.

LeWistown, Pa, December Is
Dory Hummell, of Beaver Springs,
killed a hog that had the most con-
sentative authorities guessing bad on
its weight. The scales registered sos
pounds. All were puzzled as to where
the animal carried it's weight. When
the hog was cleaned 50 10-penny nails
and six pieces of hoop iron, four to
six inches long, were found in the
stomach.
Hummell says this method of feed
ing has the New York poultry dealers
who feed their birds on shot and
sand to make them weigh heavy,
beaten to the wire.
