A TOUCH OF KINDNESS.
The Tramp’s’ nuESES Impulse Brought.
Him No Reward.
He sat slouchingly upon the end of
the park bench, his head hanging list-
lessly over his breast, says the New
York World. There was -complete de-
jecfition in his attitude. An old hat re-
sembling a piece of “culls” inarag
shop lay on the ground, where it had
fallen from his head. On one foot was
an old felt slipper and on the other an
old riding boot, with the top out off.
His trousers and coat were of a dull,
mottled" gray that comes from hard
wear and dust. ‘
Twice he had been moved on by the
“sparrow cop” and he had made his
way to a bench that was secluded and
shaded by a tree. He had gone to
sleep.
Iri’the tree the sparrows hopped and
twittered in the shade of the foliage.
Suddenly through the branches came
twisting a tiny featherling, striving
hard to make its tender wings bear up
the weight of its body. It failed and
fell on the graveled walk at the old
tramp’s feet, stunned and breathing
with difficulty. Something caused the
tramp to open his eyes and they lit on
the little sparrow. He looked at it
stupidly for a minute, then, drawing
his hand across his forehead, he leaned
over and pickedit u‘“ tenderly. He
gazed at it in a wondering way and
then glanced up at the branches of the
tree. where the mother bird fluttered
and chirruped in fright.
He drew the bench a little closer to
the tree and climbed upon it. That
put him within reach of a lower limb.
He laid the little bird carefully on a.
forked branch and, with a strength
surprising in one so feeble, he drew
himself up and sat on the limb. Above
him, within reach, he saw a nest. It
was tipped over so that he could see in
it two downy bits of birds like the one
he had. He gently placed the bird he
carried in the nest, let himself down
to the ground, drew the bench back to
its original place and turned to go just ,
asa “gray coat” called out to him:
“Come, now, get on. You’ve been
around here long enough!”
A VALUABLE PEBBLE.
The Accidental Good Fortune of a Hun-
ter in India.
Precious stones are still numerous in
certain districts of India, and occasion-
ally afine gem is found byasports-
man or traveler. A young English of-
ficer, returning from an unsuccessful
hunt on the estate of a petty chief,
picked up a stone which lay in his
'path, and idly threw it against a rock.
It.broke in a dozen pieces and out fell
a brilliant pebble. The Englishman
picked it up, looked at it, and was
about to throw it away, but changed
his mind. “I’ll keep it,” said he, “as
a memento of a day’s hunt when ,I
didn't shoot so much as a rat.” Some
days later, in Bombay, while having his
watch repaired, he showed the stone
to the jeweler, and asked its worth.
“I’ll give you twenty pounds for it,”’
said the jeweler, after a careful eXami-
nation. Had he ofi‘ered {a shillingrhe
might have been told to take the stone
and keep the shilling, but the-offer of
twenty pounds aroused the officer’s
suspicions, so he responded, with a
laugh: “I dare say you would give me
that and a trifle more, but I’m going
to take it to England.” He did so, and
sold his “pebble” in London for $15,000.
A WONDERFUL AUTOMATON.
It Took Its Inventor Twenty-Seven Years
to Build It.
In the year 1770 the most wonderful
automaton that has ever been con-
structed was exhibited at Exeter ex-
change, London. This automatic
wonder represented a country gentle-
man’s house, and was of such intricate
and elaborate construction that no one
disputed the claim of the exhibitor
when he declared that he had worked
twenty-seven years in perfecting it. It
showed the regulation English country
house, with parks, gardens, cascades,
temples, bridges, etc., besides over one
hundred appropriately clad human
figures in the gardens,lon the bridges,
chopping wood, and at various building
operations. In the park were several
deers moving naturally about arid four
horses and a coach following the me-
andering road. Besides the above the
‘ figures of boys were seen fishing from
the bridges, while a boat load of ladies
and gentlemen regularly rowed ‘across
an enlargement in the brook, much to
‘the consternation of the natural-look-
ing figures of geese and ducks which
were paddling about in the water. The
whole of these animate and inanimate
figures were inclosed in a space only
four and a half feet square.
I
Old-Time Football.
Football has never been a very gen-
tle game, to judgefrom what Master
Stubbes says about‘it in his “Anatomie
of Abuses,” published in 1583. For as
concerning football playing, I protest
unto you , it may rather be called a
friendly kinde of fight than a play or
recreation; a bloody and murthering
practice thana sport or pastime. For
dooth not every one lye in waight for
his adversarie, seeking to overthrow
him and to picke him on his nose,
though it be on hard stones, so that by
this meanes, sometimes their necks are
broken, sometimes their backs, some-
times their legs, sometimes their
armes; sometimes one part thrust out
of joynt, sometimes another; sometimes
the noses gush out with blood, some-
times their eyes start out. .
The Cayuse as a Post.
The Indian cayuse is the worst pest
that inflicts this country. The Indian
horses spread all over the ranges, and
are not confined within the reservation
limits. It is estimated that fifteen
thousand worthless wild ponies range
unrestrained over the hills of this coun-
try and devour the good bunch grass.
These cayuses each eat enough good
fodder to fatten a four-year-old steer,
and one steer is worth more than ten
glass-eyed broncos. If we could enact
a law to declarevevery pony of an as
sessed ‘value of less than one dollar a
public nuisance, it would add material-
ly to the prosperity of this country
. c
FOR TH E CYCLIST.
A cycle cleaning brigade is proposed
for London, the boys to be stationed at
street corners like the bootblacks.
Bicycle fashion item-Falls hurt just
as much this year as ever. No changes
have been made in them. They are
worn principally on the elbOWs and
knees.—Argonaut. _
Briggs—“What! A new bicycle suit!
And so different from the one you had
on the other day.” Griggs—“You bet
it is! I ran over a. woman who lives in
the next block and I don’t want her to
recognize me."-——Truth.
One curious effect of bicycling in
England is the elimination of chaperons
out of doors. Young women, who would
not have dreamed of riding horseback
unattended by a groom, now go wher-
ever they please alone on their bicycles.
“Did you ever see a worse Anglo-
maniac than Wabbles?” “Is Wabbles
one of them fellcrs?” “Is be? He has
a tank of English atmosphere shipped
to him every week to fill his tires with;
he claims he can’t ride without it."-——
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The bicycle has now reached the dig-
nity of being the theme of a novel. “‘A
. Widow on Wheels” is the title of a story
about to be published in London, and
if all who ride wheels buy a copy of it
it will have a success that will put
“Trilby” in the shade.
The fatalities in England and Wales
during 1894 attributed to cycling num-
bered 30, and this included riders and
pedestrians. In the same year perem-
bulators killed four perspns, steam
rollers 15, tram cars 55, and other road
vehicles, 1,166.

WHEN CORN .IS IN SEASON.
A delicate but almost forgotten way
of preparing corn ’is to roast it. Open
the husks and remove the silk: close
the husks and roast in the hot ashes
of a wood fire. Serve with butter, pep-
per and salt. .
Cut the earn from the cob and put
with an equal quantity of tomatoes,
pared and sliced. Stew for half and
hour and season, adding some sugar.
Stir in some butter and let the dish
simmer before serving.
Cut the corn from the cob and boil
15 minutes in water which was boil-
ing when the corn was putin. l’our off
most of the water. cover with milk and
boil till tender. Pepper and salt are
added and the dish is done.
Sweet corn is best when boiled in the
husks, The outer husks are taken elf.
the silk removed and the corn covered
'ith the inner husks, which are tied on.
I’ut in salted boiling water: for half an
hour and serve on a napkin.
Split the kernels on an ear of corn
wih a knife and scrape out the milk.
Add one-third as much cream as there
is corn and add butter, pepper and salt.
and then bake in a dish for half an hour
or until the corn begins to rise.
FADS, FANCIES AND FASHIONS.
Just now the fashion in book produc—
tion'in London is long, narrow, rough-
edged, paper covered .volumes, each
series styling itself a “library.”
Mrs. Martha Beers, a clever stenog-
rapher in Boston, has invented a col-
lapsible theater hat, which can be fold-
ed into a small and almost invisible
compass while on the head by simply
pulling a string. ~
The “loving cup” of spiced wine,
which is sometimes handed around at
mansion house entertainments, had its
origin in the custom of Saxon forefa-
thers to drink each other’s health in a

One of the women of the Vanderbilt
connection has the last new convenience
in broughams -— a speaking tube —- by
means of which she can communicate

A talking watch is on exhibition in
Paris. It has neither face nor hands;
but when you want to learn the hour,
you place this confidential time-piece
close to your ear, and the exact minute

OF TREE AND FLOWER.
Forests cover] one-third of the land
surface of the earth. ‘
In the Andes there is a wax tree, the
product of which‘is very similar, to
beeswax. .
Roses and orchids are to be the chief
flowers for table decoration during the

Hawaiian honeysuckles grow in clus-
ters on low bushes right on the very
brink of the brimstone beds, and are
so numerous that a bushel may be easily
gatheredin half an hour, In appear-~
once they» somewhat resemble a. Cran-
‘berry, and the flavor is pleasantly sug-
gestive of grapes.

THE swings
The Congress at Edinburgh Gets
Through With Much Work.
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
One Dbmnndn Clemency For Politics] Pric-
oners—Tradee Unions Not to A0-
cept Contributions for Par-
llameutcry Candidates.
‘\
EDINBURGH, Sept. 11.7-When the Brit-
ish trades unions congress resumed its ses-
sions today, the National Union of Gas
Workers and General Laborers of Great
Britain and Ireland presented the follow-
ing resolution: ,
“That in the opinion of this congress,
where grants of public money are given
for educational purposes, there should be
also public control, and that our present
system of state education, based as it is
on commercialism, and being out of har~
mony with the economic forces which are
working toward collectivism, does not sup-
ply the educational needs of the nation,
and, therefore, it is imperative that our
educational system should be completely
remodeled on such a basis as to secure the
democratic principle of equality of oppor-
tunity, and by the introduction into our
state schools of the best results of educa-
tional science to make it possible for Eng-
lish children to obtain such training—
physical, intellectual and moral—as may
tend to make them worthy citizens of a
co-operative commonwealth. We there-
fore instruct the parliamentary committee
to urge on the government the need for
introducing an amended measure on the
lines indicated by this resolution. ”
After the resolution had been amended
so as to leave the parliamentary commit-
tee a free hand to deal with future educa-
tional proposals it was adopted in sub.
stance.
To Pension Municipal Employees.
The National Municipal Labor union
then submitted the following resolution,
which was adOpted:
“That this body of trades unionists of
the United Kingdom instruct their pallia-
mentary committee to consider the advisa-
bility of at once moving the government
to bring in a bill making it compulsory
for all municipal bodies to adopt some
practical scheme of old age pensions for
their employees. ” . '
The Operative Stone Masons’ society
submitted the following resolution, which,
however, was defeated:
“That in the opinion of this congress
the time has arrived when political diner-
ences among trades unionists should cease
to be a barrier in uniting _us on the one
broad platform of the workers’ interests
in the imperial legislature of this country,
and we instruct the parliamentary oom-
mltee to submit the following questions to
the trades unions:
“First—Are your members willingto
subscribe one penny per quarter to a fund
for the purpose of contesting seats and
supporting bona fide trades unionist candi-
dates for parliamentary honors pledged to
neither' of the old political parties—viz,
Tory or Liberal?
“Second—The fund to be under tbejdl-
rect management of and the election ma-
" chinery worked fromthe center of the
parliamentary committee, the payment
of members and other details to beworked
out by the committee.
“Third—In the event of a sufficient
number of replies being received to guar-
antee the raising of funds for the above
purpose as would warrant the committee
taking steps to bring about the result in-
dicated, they are to give notice when the
first subscription becomes due.”
The same organization submitted a res-
olution to the effect that the time for the
duration of the congress’ sessions shall be
extended for a fortnight, but it was also
defeated.
Other Resolutions Defeated.
The Dock, Wharf, Riverside and Gener-
al Laborers' union moved:
“That, upon avote being taken by card,
tellers count only the votes of the delegates
present, and that each delegate shall per-
sonally show his voting card, and in no
case shall votes be recorded or polled by
organizations. .Each individual delegate
present shall himself be directly responsi-
ble for each vote recorded. Delegates or
organizations departing from this instruc-
tion shall forfeit their vote. ”
The motion was defeated.
The Cardiff, Penrith and Barry Coal
Trimmers’ union then moved the follow-
ing resolution, which was adopted:
“That whereas leading coal trimmers
and their mates have frequently to attend
inquiries at Cardiff and other ports in the
United Kingdom into the loss of vessels
and steamers, and give very important and
material evidence that could not be given
by any one else, the parliamentary com-
mittee be requested to urge the board of
trade to revise the present scale of pay-
ments and fix the rate of pay for this, class
of witnesses at 15 shillings per day in addi-
tion to their traveling expenses.”
The congress, upon the motion of the
National Federation of Watchmakers,
Jewelers, etc., afterward adopted a motion
to the effect that the congress give its en-
tire support to the movement in favor of
the total repeal of the plate licenses.
There was a lively debate over the reso-
lution of the National Sailors and Fire-
men’s union on the subiect of political
prisoners. It reads:
' “That this congress calls upon the gov-
ernment to grant a complete amnesty to
all political prisoners, and is of the opin-
ion that tbe time has arrived for a full
and careful .inqulry by the home secretary
into the cases of the three men—Callas,
Charles and Battolo—condemned at Staf-
ford in April, 1892, by Judge Hawkins to
ten years’ penal servitude for being in
possession of explosive substances, with a
view to their speedy release.” ‘
A number of objections were raised to
this resolution on the ground that the
matter was outside of the province of the
congress, but it was eventually carried by
| vote of 88 to 52.
Another New Orleans Bank Closed.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 11.—Th_e Mutual
National bank, 624 and 626 Canal street,
closed its doors today. The capital stock
of the bank was only $200, 000, and its line
of deposits was small. It has been re-
garded as weak for a long time.
A Celebration Postponed.
PROVIDENCE, Sept. ll.—On account of
the prevailing stormy Weather the exercises
incident to governor’s day and all the track
events at the state fair at Cranston have
