CONFESSION.
Believe me, dear, unyielding though I be,
Ambitions flourish only in the sun-
In noisy daylight every race isrun,
With lusty pride for all the world to see.
When darkness sinks the earth in mystery,
When eye, or ear, or sight, or sound is none
But death, a tide that waits to hear us on,
And life, a loosening anchorin the sea,
When time and space are huge about the soul,
And ties of custom lost beyond recall,
And courage as a garment in the flame,
Then all my spirit breaks without control.
Then the heart opens, then the hot tears fall
To prove me wholly woman that I am.

MESSENGER BOYS’ HARDSHIPS.
Extracts from Joe Howard’s Letter.
Hard Work, Long Hours, Temptations.
We complain of their laziness. Perhaps
they are tired. Let’s look at that for a mo'
ment.
A day’s work is supposed to be ten-hours,
but the boys are compelled to remain until
they are “let off,” and in many cases these
little chaps work from fourteen to Sixteen
hours a day. For the extra hours he re-
ceives extra pay of five cents each, so that
assuming fourteen hours to be the limit, in
addition to his regular pay he would re-
ccive five cents an hour for four hours, or
twenty cents, for which he gives up his rest,
his sleep, his recreation—pretty tough. .
TVe little know the temptations to which
they are subjected. I have seen little fel-
lows on the streets at midnight and in the
early hours of the morning, sometimes on
legitimate errands, often not. I overtook
one not long since and questioned him for a
mementos we walked along. He said he
had been runningr for several hours in the
service of a. sick man. He had been to the
doctor’s two or three times, to the drug
store several times, for a nurse and to the
postofilce, and he was literally fagged out.
The companies are as readyto place their
instruments in a barroom as in a church, in
a house of ill fame as in a. private dwelling,
and the boys, according to their turn and
not according to their ages or experience,
are sent to these places at all hours of the
night, and tosporting-houses, dives, all man-
ner of infamous rendezvous, where their
eyes are greeted with orgiecal developments
of various nature, where they acquire hab-
its of drinking and smoking, where they
mect men as bad as the women with whom
they consort, who drink and make them
drink, who solicit them to indulgence _in
every possible vice and subject them to in-
dignities and outrages which would para-
lyze, one would suppose, the society organ-
ized for the prevention of cruelty to chil-
dren, if by an accident they should ever
know of the beastliness to which children
are exposed in this Christian city.
Little chaps are forced to buy beer by
the big boys ill the office, and good boys who
never drink are expected to put money in
toward paying for it as much as bad boys
who want the drink. They think it is great
fun at times to badger each other and not
only to tempt but to force boys to all man-
ner of dirt and evil.
As a rule, the offices are contracted and
crowded, overheated and badly ventilated.
A boy may be out in the rain or the snow
for hoursand on returning seat himself
near a heater, whence, after steaming for
half an hour or so, he is called and starts out
again with shrunken clothes. He rides in
the heated elevated cars on a winter day or
walks in the biting blast.—Joe Howard in

lIabcrton-‘s “Budge” and "Teddy.”
The following anecdote of “Helen’s Ba-
bies” has not heretofore been published:
The babies went with their mother to, visit
her father, D. If. M. Hastings, of Hartford,
whose brother, a missionary in India, mar-
ried a sister of President Cleveland. The
doctor at that time lived in a house with
high steps, having his office in the basement.
There was an inside passageway through
the cellar from the office to the living
rooms, and during the visit of the little boys
to their grandfather the cellar stairs were
one day found sprinkled with little pieces of
paper. When questioned as to their object
the children explained that they put the bits
of paper there in order to find their way back
from the office by their aid. Their mother
had evidently been reading Grimm’s fairy
tales to them. One of the boys is now 0.

still young, and his parents, although they

of their lost boy—Buffalo Courier.

Labouchere’s Glass of Champagne. '_
When at Frankfort I had the honor of
serving under the late Sir Alexander Malet,
and certainly a Inore kindly chief was not to
be found in the service. His legation was
accredited to several of .the minor courts,
and at one of them I was even more appre-
ciated than my chief. This was why. Oc-
casionally there was a ball at the court,
which we were expected to attend. At my
first ball supper I found myself at a table
next to a grandee, gorgeous in stars and rib-
bons. Tho servant came to pour out cham-
pagne. Now, I detest this wine, so I shook
my head. The grandee nudged me and said:
“Let him pour it out.” This I did, and he
explained to me that the potentate whose
hospitality we were enjoying never gave his
guests more than one glass, “so you see, if I
drink yours I shall have two,’ and be suited
the action to the word. After this there
used to be quite a strugglo to sit near me at
court suppers—London Truth.
\Vinter Roads in Norway.
In riding along the roads you see at fixed
intervals stones with inscriptions on them
more or less extensive, sometimes simply
initials and sometimes names with numbers.
These are placed there to show who is bound
1."; the owner of the land to keep the road in
repair and to keep it open in the winter, and
for what distance his obligation extends.
This duty, so far as keeping the roads in re-
pair is concerned, is fulfilled most admir-
ably. From the snow plows which you see
turned up along the road at intervals I ap-
prehend that keeping it open in winter is
equally well attended to. This isaduty im-
posed on the farmers, and only in excep-
tional cases is any compensation made for it.

Society in llIexico.
Tho habits of good society here are quite
the same, with a little more dash of aban-
don, as any where in the world. The ladies
wear imported Paris hats entirely. The
scvillaua, or modern small mantilla—o. most
delightfully graceful headdress which ought
to be the fashion in the states ill the sum-
, mor, so universally becoming is it to all
women—is not at all displaced by the French
hat. The sevillana is entirely permissible
in the forcnoon hours, and no lady wears
a bonnet to church. The church costume is
ablack silk or woolen dress and sevillana,

ish types among the ladies go to the cathe-
dral or to the Santa. Brigida or Profesa
churches of a morning—where, among the
hundreds of kneeling worshipers, you will
sec faces that an American painter would
give much to transfer to canvas. The
Mexican ladies go to church daily in the
morning hours, for her worship is not re-
stricted to one day in the week, and the
Mexican church is not a combination of
lecture rooms, reception halls and'church

>Patlent Audience In Waiting—On tho
Home Stretch.
At 8 o’clock precisely, on consecutive
nights, we stepped on the rostrum at Chi-
cago, Zanesville, Indianapolis, Detroit,
Jacksonville, Cleveland and Buffalo. But
it seemed that Dayton was to be a failure.
We telegraphed from Indianapolis, “Missed
connection. Cannot possibly meet engage-
ment at Dayton.” Telegram came back,
saying, “Take a locomotive and come on!”
We could not get a locomotive. Another
telegram arrived. “The superintendent of
railroad will send you in an extra train. Go
immediately tothe depot!”_ We gathered
up our traps from the hotel floor and sofa,
and hurled them at the sachel. They would
not go in. We put a collar in our but and
the shaving apparatus in our cont pocket;
got on tho sachcl with both feet, and dc-
clared the thing should go shut it it split
everything between Indianapolis and Day-
ton. Arriving at the depot, the train was
ready. We had a locomotive and one car.
There were six of us on tho train—namely,
the engineer and stoker on tho locomotive;
while following were the conduct r, a.
brakemnn at each end of the car, and the
writer.
“When shall we getto Dayton?” we
asked.
“Half-past nine o’clock,” responded the
conductor.
“Absurd!” 1170 said; “no audience will
wait till 9:30 at night for a lectIu-cr.”
AT BREAK MICK srnnn.
Away we flow. The car, having such a
light load, frisked and kicked, and made
merry of a journey that to us was becoming
very grave. Going round a sharp curve at
break neck speed, we felt inclined to sug-
gest to the conductor that it would make no
especial difference if we did not get to Day-
ton till 9:45. The night was cold, and tho
hard ground thundered and cracked. Tho
bridges, instead of roaring, as is their wont,
had no time to give any more than a grunt
as we struck them and passed on. At times
it was so rough we were in doubt as to
whether we were on the track or taking a
short cut across the fields to get to our des-
tination a little sooner. Tho fiagmcu would
hastily open their windows and look at tho
screeching train. The whistle blew wildly,
not so much to give the villages warning as
to let them know that something terrible
had gone through. Stopped to take in wood
and water. A crusty old man crawled out
of a. depot, and said to the engineer, “Jim,
what on earth is the matter?”
“Don’t know,” said Jim; “that follow in
the car yonder is bound to get to Dayton,
and we are putting things through."
Brakes lifted, bell rung, and oi! again.
Amid the rush and pitch of the train there
was no chance to prepare 0in- toilet, and no
looking glass, and it was quite certain that
we would have to step from the train im-
mediately into the lecturing hall. We were
unfittobeseen. Wewerosuroourhair
was parted in five or six different places,
and that the cinders had put our'faces in
deep mourning, and that something must be
done. What time we could spare from hold-
ing on to the bouncing seat we gave to our
toilet, and the arrangements we made,
though far from satisfactory, satisfied our
conscience that we had done what we could.
A button broke as we were fastening our
collar—indeed, a button always does break
when you are in a hurry and nobody to
saw it on.
A msancunn'rion.
“How long before we get there?”
anxiously asked.
“I have miscalculated,” said the conduc-
tor; “we cannotget there till 9:55 o’clock."
“My dear man,” we cried, “you might as
well turn round an go back; the audience
will be gone long before 10 o’clock. ”
“No!” said the conductor; “at the last
depot I got a. telegram saying they were
waiting patiently, and telling us to hurry
on.” . v
The locomotive seemed to feel it was on
the home stretch. At times, what with tho
whirling smoke, and the showering sparks,
and the din, and rush, and hang, it seemed
as if we were on our last ride, and that the
brakes would not fail till we stopped for-
ever. ,
A 9:55 o’clock we rolled into the Dayton
depot, and before the train came to a halt
we were in a carriage with the lecturing
committee, going at the horse‘s full run
toward the opera house. Without an in-
stant in which to slacken our pulses, tho
chairman rushed in upon the stage, and in-
troduced the lecturer of the evening. After
in the quickest way shedding overcoat and
shawl, we confronted the immense audience,
and with our head yet swimming from the
motion of the rail train, we accosted the
people—many of whom had been waiting
since 7 o’clock—with the words:
we
gentlemen, you are‘ the best natured audi-
ence I ever saw.” When we concluded what
we had to say it was about midnight, and
hence the title of this little sketch.--T. De

FROM PLENTY TO POVERTY.
A Sixteen Course Dinner at Delmonico's.
A_Manager’s Career.
When Charles Bradlaugh visited this
country the Lotos club gave him a dinner.
The feast was eaten in the old club house on
Irving place. It was an elaborate aflair,‘
winding its boa constrictor-like way through
sixteen courses or so, with wine enough to
float a three decker. Opposite me at table
sat a then prominent theatrical manager;
He was jocular and he was hungry. He
ate his way through the courses and drank
his way down the card with scientific exacti-
tude. Normally a corpulent man, his dis-
tension assumed such proportions as were
alarming to behold. The elasticity of his
tissues was, I am convinced, tested to the
uttermost point. of tension. When I left
the table he was still nibbling crumbs and
washing them down with deep droughts of
punch fiery enough to put the Sun cholera
mixture to the blush.
I strolled up Broadway to cool 01! and
dropped in at the Park theatre. After an
act of Oakey Hall’s “Crucible,” or some.
thing equally diverting, I went over to the
Palette club restaurant with some friends.
As we chatted at the bar a suffocated voice
behind the screen, which separated the res-
taurant from the front of the house, called
out: “I say, waitah, nevah mind these
chops; give me a portal: house steak and
mushwooms instead!”
It was my theatrical manager; my de-
vourer .of sixteen courses, with trimmings,
and for half an hour I stood and covertly
watched him, in honest admiration, top-
ping off the Bradlaugh banquet with a des-
sert of beef and Burgundy. I had once
heard him estimate the daily expenses of a
gentleman for meat and drink at$25nnd
considered them extravagant. I now won-
dered, how ho could get enough for such a
ridiculously trifling sum. Ho got along
with a much less before he'droppcd dead the
other day, for he was the William Stuart of
whom the papers had a good deal to say the
other morning.
The first time I met Stuart ho wastho
acting manager of what is now tho Star,
and was then Wallack’s theatre. The last
time was a few weeks ago, when I went
into the shabby saloon attached to the
house to write a few lines about a first per-
formance. Tho manager, the gourmand,
tho jolly adventurer of two continents, was
snoring in a chair tipped back against the
wall, with half I: mug of sour, flat beer be-
side him. Ho was old and gray and by
no means savory of aspect. Ho breathed in
his sleep with hollow rumblings and cxplo~
sions of choking snorts. How far ofl’ Del-
monico’s was that night! How many years
away was a. porter house garnished with
mushrooms! Tho saints shrivo thee, sinner,
with the golden tongue. Thy life carried
its own punishment—Alfred Trumble in

Foiled \Vlth a Silver Brick.
M. W. Brown, of New Mexico, said to a
reporter: “Mining now is not what it used
to be. In early days there were incidents
without number. When I first went to Sil-
ycr City, N. M., to open the mine which I
have recently located here, the railroads
had not entered that territory, .. and the
stage robber flourished in all his glory. It
was not infrequent for them to make good
hauls of bricks or dust, both in that and
other sections of the mining country. I had
some trouble in that line and finally con-
cluded that I had the remedy in my own
hands, and put my bullion into a 500 pound
brick and sent it to the Philadelphia mint.
The stage was attacked, and the robbers got
all they could, but when they came to my
brick they stopped short and remarked:
“Well, it looks mighty pretty, but it’s too
much for us,” and went. I was notified
from the mint that they would not again re-
ceive such a large brick. I had not antici-
pated this, and was rather put back, but I
wrote to the people 'at the mint, explaining
the situation very clearly, and they replied
that under those circumstances they would
receive 500-pound bricks, but no larger.—

THE RAGPICKERS.
ONE ELEMENT OF THE POPULA-
TION OF A GREAT CITY.
Blue Blood Owners of norm and
“’ngons-Aflltocnta of the Band Curt.
Rummage" of Morning and Night.
Life Near the Dumps.
Ragpickers form a very important ele-
ment of the busy population of a great city
like Brooklyn, and a careful observation of
their methods will reveal some curious and
interesting facts. They are properly di-
vided into four distinct classes, each having
a. separate field of action and seldom in-
fringing upon the territory of the other divis-
ions of the fraternity. The first class, who
could quite properly be called the upper ten
of ragpickerdom, includes the itinerant deals
are who conduct their business by means of
dilapidated looking horses and wagons. They
would undoubtedly indignantly resent their
classification with ordinary ragpickers, but
candor compels me to name them as such.
They pay an annual license fee of $3 for the
privilege of buying the city’s rubbish.
They pay a. higher price for goods than
the men who propel the handouts, and fre-
quently hire shops of their own for assort-
ment and storage of their purchases. They
generally carry on a thriving business, and
from long expericnm and acquaintance
know where the choicest rags are found.
They have regular dates for calling on small
tailoring establishments in order to secure
the cuttings and trimmings which are too
small to be used by rag manufacturers.
They also get the pickings of small shirt
factories, printing houses, book binderieI
and a score of similar establishments.
ran HAND CART Am. .
The second class comprises the army of
hand cart dealers who can be seen every
day pushing their trucks, adorned with
from one to a score of motley shaped, sized
and toned bells, along in front of them.
They are avarlcious in their dealings, man-
age to live in moderate circumstances, and
am willing to purchase a number of articles
which most people classify as rubbish. But
what is. rubbish to some people-iron and
other metals, bones and old 0 u'pets and a mul-
titude of similar articles-is thus bought by
the thousands of pounds daily. This class
.is always well posted in the tricks of the
trade, and have certan streets which they
have drummed for years. By long experi-
ence they learn which of their customer:
will sell his ragset any price, and which
will haggle with them over the last penny.
They often find unexpected treasures in
their purchases, and rarely return anything
valuable that thus comes within their clutch.
We now come to the third clan of rag-
plckers, who are by far the most aggressive
in their methods. I refer to the rummagers
who are abroad early in the morning and
late at night, overhauling our ash cans and
ash barrels. They are mostly Italians, an
unlike a stove poker. They are numbered
by the thousands, are almost unacquainted
with the laws and customs of this country,
livein the poorest class of tenements, and
by the most stringent economy and indus-
try manage to save up quite respectable
bank accounts. The inborn passions of the
Italian race are but little modified by our
climate, or by contact with our people, and
fatal ~afi'rays are of frequent occurrence
among them. They are clannish, preserve
their national customs, subsist on the cheap-
est food and endure privations and hard-
ships that would kill nine out of ten of our
native population. This class take every-
thing' from a. barrel that their hookswill
drag forth—old boom, shoes, hats, raga,
fragments of carpet, bottles, corks, horse
hair, feathers, paper, wood, coal, cigar
stubs—indeed everything except ashes and
clinkers. Often the barrels of brown stone
fronts yield rich finds to these delvers.
A nurnomo BUNDLE.
One day I saw a swarthy fellow stop be-
fore half a doen bamls grouped on the
sidewalk before a. Clinton avenue house, and
haul forth article after article, among
which were the following: A Turkish rug,
which was not in shreds by any means, and
which undoubtedly saw subsequent service
in the finder’s bedchamber; an old but
which was immediame substituted for a.
dilapidated cap on the ,finder’s head; old
shoes, rags and articles of tin ware, which
were thrust into his roomy bag, and an ap-
ple and a crust of bread, which, after 0. few
preliminary polishes on milord‘s soiled coat
sleeves, were ravenously devoured. He
had arrived at that spot with a bag having a
decidedly emaciated appearance, but left
with a plethoric bundle, under whose weight
he could hardly stagger. .
Harvest time with all rag pickers comes
in the spring. For then itis that houses
are cleaned, families move, old carpets are
.. _ ,‘ cartedmto
, “Lens ~vu£erlng 1m: "patient "Rifles , a‘iid "
thrown away, old garments are discarded
and thousands of articles find their way to
the teeming ash barrel. Brooklyn pays about
$65,000 annually forthe removal of its
ashes, and last year over 260,000 loads were
. tglelow lots w ch abound—in
'sbutn Broo yii aud‘iL-fi' era.“ It is near
these dumps, in miserable hovels, that the
last, but by no means the least, class of this
great family of ragpickers dwell. They are
up betimes in the morning awaiting the ar-
rival of the ash carts like as many vultures
would await the coming of prey, and no
carrion crows ever plunged their talons in
the cur-case of a dead cow with more vorac-
ity than these people settle down to a frenzy
examination of the ash heaps. A person
would suppose that little remains in the
ashes after the rummaging of the Italian
street pickers. But men, women and chil-
dren by the hundreds work there with bag
and basket from sunrise to sunset. Old
coal scuttlos, pots, kettles, pans, broken
crockery, hats, caps, bonnets, cast ofi gar-
ments, feathers, coal, wood and multitudes
of similar articles are taken to the finders=
shanties and cleaned and repaired for per-
sonal use. Old metal, raga, paper, bones,
bottles, tin cans and scraps of tin, heir,
corks, bits of leather and rope are carried
away for assortment and sale—Brooklyn

Essentials '0: a Good Fighter.
In answer to the quemii: “What are the
essentials of a thoroughly good fighter?”
Sullivan said:
“Pluck, skill, endurance and a good head
ou‘ his shoulders. I tell you, sir, a man
fights with his head almost as much as he
dog with his fist. He must know where to
sendhis blows so they may do the most good.
He must economize his strength and not
score a hit just for the sake of scoring it.”
“What portion of your antagonism body
do you aim at when you are in the ring!"
“I endeavor,” said Sullivan, “to hit my
man above the heart, or under the chin, or
behind the ear. A man wears out pretty
soon if one can keep hammering uwayin the
region of the heart; a blow under the chin
or behind the our will knock out a man
quicker than a hundred blows on the cheek
or any other portion of the face. Now, the
Marine has a. neuron his left cheek which he
received in his fight with Dempsey, and
which he will carry to his grave. He told
me that Dempsey kept hammering away at
that spot. If Dempsey were a. long-headed
fighter he would not have wasted his time
and strength in getttlng in there. That fact
alone proves to me that he is deficient in
gcneralship.”
“You can tell pretty well when your man
is giving in?” ‘
“Certainly I can.” said the pugilist. “I
watch his eyes and I know at once when the
punishment is beginning to tell on him.
And, when I talk to 0 man beforeI stand up
before him at all, I can make up my mind
whether he is a. fighter or not. There is more
intelligence required in this business than
outsiders give us credit for.”-—Saoramento

do Sued for Ills Salary.
I never knew of more than one preacher
who sued for his salary, and he got it. It
was in Franklin county. The leading men
wrote him a. letter guaranteeing that the
church could and would pay him a good
salary—one of these ofihand letters which
churches noted for not paying will write.
He went and served them a whole year we
ceptably, meekly and patiently. In fact,
they were astonished at his patience. Then
he demanded all of his salary that was due.
Again they were astonished to meet a man
who was not willing to take just what the
church had seen fit to give him voluntarily.
But he told them they had caused 'hinito
:ontract debts on the strength of the promo
iscs made by their oflcinl members, and
those debts had to bepaid. He went into
court, produced the letters written by the
official members, obtained judgment and col-
lected it. And he did right—Rev. J. E.

The Contribution, Box.
We have all heard odd names given to the
contribution boxes which are passed among
the pews of our churches with such regular-
ity on all devotional occasions, especially to
the long handled affairs which have of late
taken place of the good, old-fashioned ortho-
dox platter. These names have been
generally strained—like “wooden corn pop-
per,” “undeveloped toy wagon,” “merciles
gleaner,” etc; but I heard a. truly witty
designation givon this useful piece of eccle- .
elastic furniture by a keen clergyman, while
attending a union service recently. He
first said that the collection on that occasion
would be for the needy poor, asking for a
liberal allowance on that account, and then :
added, drolly, as he held out a couple of
long handled concerns with oval-shaped

Gravitation in the Moon. ' -
An ingenious writer treats of gravitation
of the moon in The Popular Science News.
If it were possible, he lays, to take a journey
to the moon We should find a very different
state of affairs existing. The moon having
3 a much
mailer mass than the earth will'
exert its attractive influence lees strongly;
and by the exertion of the same strength a
man could leap into the air to an astonish-
ing distance, jumping over the tallest bulld-
ings with the some easethat he would clear a
low obstruction on the earth. The same
efiect would be produced upon all other
bodies. Horses would travel ata greatly in-
creased speed, and if the rider was thrown
the consequences of his fall would be much
less serious; the elephant would become as
light footed as a deer; a stone thrown from
the band of a careless boy might fall in an
adjoining town before accomplishing its mis-
sion of destruction; armies would engage in
battles at great distances from each other;
and nearly every kind of labor would be
lightened, from the diminished weight of
tools and materials—Boston Transcript.
Advice to Newspaper Contributors.
Write only when you have semethiug to
say and then charge a price for your work.
Not the price that you will: to get but that
which the overstocked market is likely to
pay. And, though Maurice Thompson did
say: “The waste basket is the true cradle of
literary art,” do not cradle your own work
in your own basket miles you aroqulto sure
that its ill sucoem is due to lack of worth
rather thin totheflct that you sent it to
the wrong stall. Vegetables won't do for
boutonnieres, remember, any more than rwes
will satisfy the pangs of hunger. So send
your farm products to the green grocer’s;
your crisp facts to the dailypres, not to the
magazines. It is so true that ignorance of
the section where readers wait to absorb
just what you are waiting to print consigns ,

Inst, if a manuscript is not satisfactory
when completed do not bend it out, but lay
aside until one day you pull it out of its
pigeon hole for reperusal. Then to open it
will prove either a pretty good thing, or
when you come to your well cooled ideas as
to a stranger’s the one thing lacking will be
at once apprehended and supplied. Make it
money's worth and claim your wages—or
leave the field-for those who are living to
work and working to live—Trebor Oil! in

Demand for Gold Coins.
Superintendent Fox, of the Philadelphia
mint, says: “We have incessant demand
for gold coins of this year’s mintage. The
department has authorized me to strike only
a limited number, and we started inthis
week more to keep up the continuity of
years than for any other reason. The sup
ply is not near sufficient to meet the de-
mand. 'Whether the applications are to
meet actual necemities or for speculation I
.do not know. There are anumber of peo-
ple who speculate on the new coinage. The
disposition is to accumulate fine sets of
.cabinet-coinf carry them distances away
and sell them at considerable advance. I
' look upon it as an outrage that this institu-
tion should be used surreptitiously for pro-
' curing coin-to, in a measure, corner the
market, and I am exercising all the care I
' cannotbat the portion I am permitted to
deliver shall go only tonich directions as are
strictly legitimate and not for speculation.”

What the Motto Meant.
_ Years ago one of the masters in the High
school of Edinburgh had the reputation of
punishing unmercifully the boys whose par-
ents were comparatively poor and being at
i the came time very lenient toward the sons
of the - richer classes. One day, after
severely thrashing one of the unfortunatcs,
_ he wound up with the exclamation:
“Now, sir, you’re a stupid follow. I don’t
suppose you even know the Latin motto of
this school. ” ‘
“Yes, sir, I do.”
“Well, what is it?"
“Nisl dominus frustra.”
“Now give the English of that.”
“Unless you are a bird’s son you needn:
come here."
A Congressman": Last Wordl.
The last words of the late ex-Representa—
tive William Kimmel, of Maryland, were,
“I am nearing port, but fear not the break-
ers; tho captainisaboard and all is well.”

A CHILD’S SKIN
EARS AND SCALP COVERED WITH
ECZEMATOUS SCABS AND SORES
CURED BY CUTICURA.
1' little can aged eight years has been amict-
ed with Eczema of the scalp, and at times a
great portion of the body, ever since he was two
yearsold. it began In his ears and extended to
his scalp, which became coverpd with scabs and
sores. and from which a sticky nuld poured out.
causlng intense ltchlng and dlstress, and leaving
his hair matted and lifeless. Underneath these
scabs the skin was raw, like a piece of heelstenk.
Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed,
until but a small patch was left at the back 01' the
head. My friends in Peabody know how my
little boy has sufi'ercd. At night he would scratch
hinhead until his pillow was covered with blood.
1 used to.tle Ills hands behind him, and In many
ways trled to prevent his scratching; but it was
no use, he would scratch. I took him to the hos-
pital. and to the best physlcians lu Peabody with-
out success. About this time some friends, who
had been cured by the Cutlcura Remedies, pro-
valled upon me to try them. I began to use them
on the 15111 of January last. In seven months
every partlcle of the disease was removed. Not a
spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story
of his snfi'erlng. His hair has returned, and is
thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean
as any child's in the world. I cannot say enough
to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure
bv the Cuticura Remedies. and wish all similarly
afflicted to know that my statement In true and
without exaltzcratlon.
