As O. Sullivan and James Campbell of
Minneapolis, were working on an electric
light mast Saturday, the ropes holding the
600 pound bal.ing, weight siippéd. The
men had hold of the rope and thought that
they could hold the weight in place and
prevent accident, but they began to ascend
slowly, and Campbell, whose feet became
disentangled, fell to the ground. Relieved
qf his weight. the equalizer shot like a bolt
of lightning to the ground, jerking Sullivan
to tn; top of the mast, 275 feet, in an instant.
He reached out and seized a small wire cable
on which he slid to the ground uninjured.
Campbell, who fell about fifteen feet, says
that when he struck he glanced to the mast
and saw Sullivan getting ready to come
down, so that Sullivan must have ascended
250 feet in about the time that it took Camp-
bell to fall 15 feet.

Treasure Hunting.
Searching among the street sweepings of a
great city like New York for lost treasure is
not so romantic as digging for pots of gold,
but it is probably a more profitable employ-
meni. A boy who has run about the crowd-
ed streets of New York for half adozen
years without ever picking up a penny or a
dime from the pavement must consider him-
seif very unlucky. Men who clean the
streets often find coins and pieces of jewelry.
Even around the ferry slips-men and boys
manage to pick up considerable treasure by
waiting until the tide is out and then crawl-
ing under the bridges and ferry houses. In
the country where people are pretty care-
full of their pennies, an old house is seldom
torn down or removed without the finding
of small coins or other lost articles, which
hed fallen through cracks or been dragged off
by rats. We have even heard of the finding
of diamonds and gold coins in dust heaps,
but a $10,000 bank check is indeed a singu-
lar thing to be found among street sweepings.
The interest aroused in the'discovery ofa
laborer who picked up such a check in an
uptown street quickly subsided, hcwever,
when it was learned that payment of the
check had been stopped.

The Child’s Love.
Some children are singularly dull at the
very moment when they are expected to
make the best showing. A nurse in a pious
family who- took occasion to put her little
charge through‘ a'sort of catechism every
night, called in her mother on one occasion
t03let her see how nicely her pupil was
getting along. “ Come, now, darling," she
said, “who is it that you love better than
father, .or mother, or brother or sister—better
than all the world put together ?” With a
look of innocence that might have been bor-
rowed frcm the angels, the Christian cherub
responded-r“ Pie." '

130ng Treatment, j
A young man of Providence has returned
from‘ a two years’ trip in the West. The
peculiarity of his travel was that'he invaria-
bly refused to pay fare. He usually rode on
the express trains, because they make fewer
stops, and he rarely found a conductor who
would delay to put him off between stations.
. His appearance was rather effeminate, and
he made it a strict rule never to talk back,
so that he escaped the rough usage which
most men would have received. Occasion-
ally he would have to journey in freight cars
and even on the trucks underneath; but
generally he suffered no discomfort, and was
able to save all his money for food and lodg-
ing. But on a Mississippi steamboat 'he met
with less success. Resolutely refusing to
buy a ticket, he was made to walk a plank
which be supposed would hear him to the
shore. On one end sat several negrces, to
hold it in place, but when he got to the
other end they arose, and he dropped into
mud and water at the edge of an uninhabi-
ted island, from which he escaped after two
days of starvation.
There is a young editor wandering on the
face of' the earth who formerly published a
paper at Storm Lake, Iowa. He left there
the day after the issue of his last paper and
is supposed to be crossing the state on foot
to get away from an infuriated female popu-
lace.“ It seems there was a concert given by
young ladies of the city and the gallant
young editor wrote it; up in splendid shape.
The same day he had visited a herd of short-
horn cattle owned by a farmer in the vicinity
and he wrote up the cattle also. The cross-
eyed foreman of the office got the articles
mixed as follows: "The concert given last
evening by sixteen of Storm Lake's most
beautiful and interesting young ladies was
highly appreciated. They were elegantly
dressed and sang in a most charmingmanner,
winning the plaudits of the entire audience,
who pronounced them to be the finest shori-
horns in the county. A few of them are of
a rich brown color, but the majority are
spotted brown and white. Several of the
heifers were fine-bodied, tight-limbed ani-
mals, and promise to prove good property.—

The feat of George Hutchins, aBoston fire-
man, will bring him a medal. It was per-
formed at the burning of a gun store, de-
scribed the other day by telegraph. It was
impossible to keep the people far away from
the building, although they were told that it
contained explosives.
just where the stock of powder was kept and
Hutchins volunteered to go in after it. He
climbed through a window, got down on his
knees, and crept toward the spot to which he
had been directed. The smoke was‘ stifling
and blinding. His hands touched one huge
copper box continuing powder, and he car-
ried it out. Then he went back after another
box. The copper burned his fingers, and as
he sprang out the flames follomd him, but
the powder was safe under the effect of a
powerful stream of water.

What it Did for an Old Lady.

In one case a lady of over seventy years had
been sick for years, and for the past 10 years
had not been able to be around half the time.
About six months ago she got so feeble she
was helpless. Her old remedies or physicians,
being of no avail. I sent to Depost, forty-~
five miles, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters.
It improved her so she was able to dress her.
self and walk about the house. When she had
takhn the second bottle she was able to take
care of her own room and walk out to her
neighbors, and has improved all the time
since. My wife and children also have de-

Uuily of Action, concord, sympathy
and goodfellowship are admirable traits in
human character: but they will not heal cur
physical infirmities. Catarrb, for example;
stubbdrnly resists their effects of influence.
In fact this malady withstands all .of its
would-be destroyers, except Ely’s Cream
Balm. “Solitary and alone" this Balm stands
as the only recognized and infallible specific
for Catarrh. “For fifteen years," says J. B.
Chase, St. Denis Hotel, B’wy. and 11th St.,
N. Y., “I have been greatly annoyed with a
disgusting catarrh. My sense of smell, not
to mention other troubles, became much im-
paired. A thorough use of Ely‘s Cream
Balm has cured me of these troubles.” It is
not a liquid or snufi", and is easily applied.
