MISS PAPA. nvery morning when the miners employed in the mines at Berard assembled around the shaft to answer to the roll call there could be seen, arriving last of all, a tall, sturdy look- ing fellow, who led by the hand a little girl '7 or 8 years old. They were Michel Pierron and his daughter. 5‘ Before setting foot upon the platform of the car to descend the man took the child in 7 , his arms and kissed her, and then replaced her on the ground. The little one cried, “Good- by. papa!" When he was upon the car she gazed at him with two little anxious eyes, and re- peated. “Good-by. tiara!” When the signal for the descent was given the clasped her hands and kept repeating the single word “pupa,” until she was sure that papa could no longer hear her. Then she went on to the school house close by, where :he spent. the day. When evening came she was always the first at the opening of the shaft, and Michel Pierron was always the first man who came up. As at his departure, he lifted the child in his arms, and she threw her arms around his neck, crying, “Papal” The miners had heard her repeat these two syllables so often, and had been so struck by the strange passion which she put into them, that they gave her the name of Miss Papa. And certainly no name was ever more ap- plicable. Her father was everything to her. Her mother had been dead along time; she had scarcely known her; she had only him. All the memories of her childhood were filled with him. To her his great rough hands had been as gentle as a woman’s. For his hard, grimy face had always worn a tender smile. For her this man had become a woman and child at the same time. Ah! how she loved her father, and how terrified she was every morning when she saw him descend into that great black hole, of which no one could see the bottom. One day a miner held her over the mouth of the shaft, and she had gazed down into the dark depths. Uttering a cry of terror, she drew buck. “Papa goes down there,” she thought. “Oh, if he should never come up i” ‘ And that day, when Michel took her in his arms as usual and kissed her, she clung more tightly than ever to his neck. and said to him: “You will come up, won’t you f” “Of course, my little one." “Is there any danger, tell me, papa?" “Why no, little coward." “Does any one—cat: any one—die down there?” “Have no fear,” replied Michel, laughing; “I will not die without letting you know." “Ah! good-by. rape” All that her father said was gospel truth to her, and site went to school completely reas- shred. But the memory of that black gulf into which her eyes had plunged could not be ef. faced, and from that time she was afraid every morning and trembled every evening; she feared that her father would never re- turn from those mysterious depths into which she had seen him descend. Was it: a presentimentf Who knows? One day the report suddenly spread that an explosion had occurred in the mine. In t: moment’s time a crowd had gathered at the shaft. From all directions people, wild with terror, came flocking to the spot. Of all those buried for below there how many would ever see the light again! Michel’s daughter was at school. . She . knew nothing of it, and, besides, if any one had spoken of it; before her would she have comprehended! Could she know, poor little one, what an L’explosion was! No. But at her age one knows already what death is; one under- stands, at her age, when one sees inanimate, mutilated bodies extended updn; the ground; and the approaches,” the shift were strewn with them when she arrived that evening to meet her father. . V - She was stupefied fer i: moment, and then the truth suddenly flashed upon her; shelled seen those men go down living, than man whom she know well, who had kMed ‘her many a time, and now they were brought up dead. Would they bring up her father like them? - 7 This thought distracted her. ., She began to run wildly among the debris, which they had brought up from the mine, crying: “Papal papa! papa!" There were, it is ‘true, many others Who cried and who called “Papal” but not one in such despairing accents. The others they drove back, but no one could be found to push her away. They let her run, poor child, from one body to another, sometimes stopping before a. disfigured face, hesitatlng for a mo- ment as if she feared she might recognize her father. ' , , , N 0, he was not among the dead. _ She grew calmer, and sought * amongthehvmg , He was not there. . She qu‘p‘e'tioued' every one, but no one had seen him. ~ " ’Of the sixty miners who; _entmdown in the morning forty-five had come, up'alive; four- teen were dead. There remained but one to be accounted for; that one was Michel. She had made them explain all that to her, and she understood ' She clapped her hands joyonaly, as if they hadsaid to her: “He is all right. You will see him again.” Ah! how she hoped to'see him. Then she suddenly recoilected the;morning on which her' father had said to her: _ “I will not die without letting ybu know.” It needed only that to give her the cer- tainty that he was living. _ A child’s faith is strong. . .It Is not easy to drive out an idea which has once taken root in their minds. So, whenlthe next morning —she had remained there all night-'41:” tried to make her understand that there was no hope, that aha would never again see her father; that theyhad explored, all the gal-' Ieries, searched every corner and had not found him, she shook her curly head. and be- gun to weep, saying: “Seek for papal" They paid little attention to her. For forty hours had they not exhausted every means! There was doubtless something strange in this disappearance. Living or dead, Michel ought to have been found, and they had not found him. The chief engineer .had himself directed the search, but all in vain. In the opinion of all nothing more co'uld be done, and it was pomible that, by the force of the explosion, the unfortunate man had been buried by the falling debris, and itwas impossible to ten where or how. For forty-eight hours little Miss «Papa waited anxiously, .but ' without manifesting the slightest uneasiness. At every human form which appeared at the opening she started forward and, not recognizing him whom she awaited, she sank backupon the ground with a deep sigh. They tried toitoak‘ her “95:, and "she uttered such piercin crises that they considered it best to lea her there. Th.

I Will find him I" They bore her away, and left her with the schoolteacher. An hour later she was back at the shaft, and, clinging to the engineer’s knees. she kept repeating: , - ‘ “I want to go down! I will find himi” He was a tender helix-ted man, that en- gineer, and he took pity on lter. "are: all.” he said to himself, “that will," perhaps, be the best thing. When she has seen with her own eyes she will believe. This excitement, if- it lasts much longer, will kill her." And, taking her in his arms, he bore her to the car and gave the signal to descend. She shuddered when she felt beneath her that yawning pit from which arose a. foul air which almost sufiocated her. The engineer felt her little arms inclose his neck, and her WEI! hens! was pressed useless“: own- i l i i i When they reached thi ‘b'o'ttoii: she’ disen- gaged herself, sprang to the ground, and rushed straight forward, calling: “Papal Papal” The engineer, who could hardly keep up with her, was tired of explaining to her twenty times what he had already explained - -—how the explosion had taken place, where it ’3 had occurred, and what they had done to find the victims, and the child kept questioning him, and repeated: “He is livingl Seek for him i" She would have remained down there in the mine three days, as she had already done at the surface, if they had not taken her by force and carried her up. The engineer gave orders that she should be taken back to the school teacher, and also orders that if she reappeared at the shaft ahe should be prevented from going into the mine. - All his measures had been carefully taken, and the next day, no longer thinking of her, he was inspecting one of the galleries when hefelt himself seized by the arm of his cost. It was Miss Papa. ,, She had escaped from the school a second time. Repulsed at the shaft, she had slipped into an empty coal car and had thus do- scended info the mine. She told all this to the engineer and ob- tained his pardon. Five minutes later she again began her search, still full of undimin- fished faith. The miners followed her with pitying eyes, shrugging their shoulders, say- mg: “Poor little Papa l” . Little Papa kept on seeking with unbated courage; Suddenly they saw her running to- ward them, pale and excited. “Down there!” she gasped. Papal” “What? Down there?" said the miner. "His blousel” “Bah! Where!” “Dr‘vn there!” -_ . In a moment every one had heard the news and the mine was in a tumult. The child de- “Down there! clared that she had seen a piece of blue cloth - in a hole, which she could not raise, because it: was held down by an enormous block of coal. - “Where?” they asked her again. She turned, followed, by the crowd, of miners. Then she stopped and hesitated. She could not find the spot. All the blocks of coal resembled each other; all the cavities were alike; all the galleries were the same. And yet’sbe was sure she had seen that piece of blue. cloth. Where the blouse was the man must be, living, no doubt, and that man was her father, and she could not find him! One by one, tired of the uselm search, per- suaded that the poor little girl was crazed by grief, the men withdrew and returned to their work. But they had hardly taken up their pickaxes when t: loud cry recalled them to the child. _ “I have found it! I have found it!” They pushed her aside and looked. Yes, it was a piece of blue flannel. It was a blousel There was a man there! They set to work with a will, and, in the twinkling of an eye, the wall was beaten down, and in a deep excavation they saw a man extended; it was Michel Pier-rob. He had been there three days and four nights. Loud cries arose on all sides, and, ringing loud above all the others, a cry escaped from the lips of the child. She threw herself upon the body and clasped it in her arms, half mad, weeping and crying: “Papal papa!” ' He was nearly dead, poor Michel! Ex- hausted by lack of air and nourishment he recovered consciousness only to sink back fainting; but: he was alive. Miss Papa had told the truth. The man would not die without telling his child, and the thought of her had sustained him and given him the strength to conquer death. A week infer he was out and ready to re- commence his work. . 0n the evening- of. the day before that on which hewastoreturnto themlnea grand banquet was given by all the minors to Mi- Papa. The place of honor was reserved for her. A loud hurrah and wild applause greeted her when she entered, holding on to Michel‘. hand. There were kimes given, shouts of bravo! and wild huzzas in honor of the little queen. And do you know what she replied to all this, smiling and clapping her little hands? She replied, “Papa.” It: would be difficult to describe how and in what tone she uttered that one word. But all those brave fellows, whose eyes had hardly ever known n-tear, wili'lell' youthat ‘ they wept that night. NOT A MAN AROUND. A Wedding at Which the Ceremony Wu Satisfactory to the Ladies. It. was at L.B. Snow’s. “let's see—two, five, six, seven, eight girls, andthree, five, nine boys,” counted a maiden with a musical .voiceas a reporter reached the house last evening. The proportion held good so far as ralmeut was concerned, but if the pretty forms in the garments usually reserved for the maleeex were those of “boys” the young men"might~fiud it. profitable to pose for art; ’ists. .Cneof the “boys” had sought to dis- guise' .f‘himself" with a stage mustache and gqafoe of cotton, but the clear complexion lead sparkling eyes were not those of aCleve- .land' young man. There were dudes and '?handsome, clever young fellows, who ap- pmntly earned a livelihood in intellectual occupations, nudthey were witty and clever beyond the usual standard of dinner parties. The “girls” ranged from a. prim, plainly clad old maidto attractive _young ladies who are probably unmarried, because they would be content with nothing ehor’t‘of presidents. It waszfio‘clock when the party fell in line and proudly marched to, the flower decked library. A young lady at the head of the line rendered on a mouth organ Mendels- sohn‘s wedding much with great fervor and enthusiasm. The happy bridnl couple took their station under the traditional floral piece, andthe ofiiciating young lady, assum- ing the solemn tone of an ofllcial', conducted the ceremony. After fitting introductory re- marks the groom. was naked: f‘Dnre you promise that you will love, honor and obey this, your future wife; earn by the sweet of your brow her clothes and board, get in the coal, chop the kindling, light the fires, hang out the clothes line, beat the carpets at house cleaning time, wash dishes if newssary, and rock the baby (not my half but your own way as well) while she, your better half, is resting quietly in the arms of Morpheus?” It was a startling inquiry, but the bridegroom ventured an affirmative response. The bride was asked: “Dare you promise that you will properly govern (us all sensible women are supposed to do) this, your future husband-,3 keep all the buttons on his clothes, remember-2 where and when he left his but whoever; grumble or growl when he chews his pipe in; the house, and be always willing to‘ndminc; later soothing syrup should he be out’lafo and: come home with snakes in his boots?"

The Chinamnn and His Gods- The Chinaman uses his gods chiefly to, drive away bad luck. He has at: imageof Mun. GunChong Howa Pore, or the grand- . mother god. over his bed, that nothing may ' happen while he sleeps; a god in the kitchen to keep evil out: of the cooking—gods every- where. ‘But his real everyday guardians are not gods'nt nil. They are the spirits of his ancestors. Ho appeals to them in every mat- ter of everyday life. . To be sure, he believes that; his ancestors“ souls have passed into other beings. and are living in human or ani- mal form at the moment; still he stretches his imagination to conceive that enough of their mential spirits float around to pervade their images and give did when invoked. These spirits are supposed to occupy the space between earth and clouds. Above the clouds the territory all belongs to the gods. Tho ancestral spirits and Jess are the super- natural aids that the Chinese in Ameriencall upon. J 085, many centuries ago, was a great human dignitary, who was deified, upon death. The bad spirits are those of men who were wicked i'nlife or had some spifo against tun-tam man still living. No one knows whether a. man’s soul was good or bad while he lived, so his death, which sets another spirit free, scares Chinameu mightily—New York Sun Interview. The Price of Gas in London. Under the operation of a commendable. law, the price of gas in London has ’fallenx steadiky. Two weeks ago the directors .of the Gaslight and Coke . company, by far the largest of the metropolitan companies, re- solved to reduce the price on Jan. 1 to .‘zty— one cents per thousand; At the same time this company is paying dividends of abort 13 per cent. The law permits the companies to raise their dividends in return for u reduc- tion of the price to consumers. ‘ Elena. . . Trained fleas .are- exhibited from timeto time.

Drinking Run: and Smoking Tobacco for no Years—An Iron Constitution-Never Sick but a Few Months In Her Life—A Tour of the Farming Country. Sylvia Dubois, the famous negress. is dead at last, says The Philadelphia Times. Her death was reported last spring, because the news that came from Sourland mountain, where Sylvia lived, was to the efiect that the ancient negress huddled during the blizzard, having perished in the storm. This was a mistake. ' She survived the great snowatorm and lived through the spring and summer. But that tremendous vitality that carried the woman through a century and a quarter of existence began giving out and a few days ago she died. She had just passed her 125th birthday. There is no doubt Sylvia Dubois was not only the oldest woman, but the oldest person in America. Her memory and the records she had at hand proved this fact. The story of‘herlife in detail hasbeen published sev- eral times. She was born in Hunterdon county, N. J ., on the very range of hills where ahe‘ eventually died. She was the slave of a a man named Dubois, and kept that name all her life. She had a number of children. but they were all illegitimate. While n‘mere child she was taken by her master to Great Bend, Pa, where she was reared. KNOCKED OUT THE PUGILISTS. The tales of her prowess are many. She was a fighter all her younger days, and in fact until she was 100 years old. She knocked out every pugilist she encountered. From the time she was 15 years of age she wants hard drinker, brandy being her favorite bev- erage. Liquor never seemed to affect her. She always said the brandy she drunk: preserved her. It is certain she was never sick until a few months previous to 'her death. At the tavern at Great Bend, of which her toaster was the landlord, she was the great attraction, owing to her tremen- dous strength and feats of endurance and daring. She was as profane as she was pow- erful, and her biography, which she dedi- cated some years ago to uschool teacher in this state, and which was published literally, abounded with oaths. When she was about 25 years of Iage she got angry at her mistress and nearly killed her. Before she could be caught she snatched up her baby and rowed across the Susquehanna: and ran into the woods. There she accomplished what few women in history have even attempted. She made her way day and night down through Pennsylvania and upper New Jersey, caring for the child all the way until she got back toher old home in Sourland mountain. Her mistress recovered, but no attempt was made to or- rest or capture Sylvia. 0n Sourland moun- tain she built a but, where she spent the last century of her existence. She had, as already related, a number of children, but only the youngest survived. She lived with her mother up to the day of her death. Her name is Elizabeth, and' she is over 80 years old. She is her mother over again. There Is not a man on the mountains that can whip her. Her pugilistic feats are almost as numerous as her mother’s, but she never made such a businem of prize fighting. Formative rms 'rwxcn A run. In the little but on Sourlund Sylvia lived through all the cold and stormy winters. She learned to read a. little and her daughter got enough education to enable her to read to her mother. They were always poor, but managed to beg enough to keep them comfortable. Twice a year the mother and daughter would tramp down the mountain, and make a tour of the farming country be- low. Everybody knew them and everybody gave them something. The two women would load themselves down with provisions, coal and clothing and then climb the moon- tain with their burdens. Sylvia. always asked for newspapers and books, and there were few women better posted on the general events of the day. This long and tiresome tramp never seemed to injure the old woman. She took her last trip last spring. Sylvia never made but two public exhibi- tions of herself. She was witness in n mur- der trial at Flemington a number of years ago, and her Opinions of lawyers, courts and people generally growing out of her ex- perience in court were given in her biog- raphy. They were decidedly sensational and emphatic. Her second appearance was at the stafo fair at Waverly, a year ago. She re- ceived money enough for sitting in a tent for four days to last her until death. Her eye- sight grew poor toward the end, but her tongue was as sharp and her memory as keen as ever. , If one could stand the string of oaths that were part of her conversation, the anecdotes that she gave and her recollec- tions of past events were decidedly interesfr mg. . - . Sylvia 5 Dubois drank hard and smoked t: strong pipe all 'her' life pretty nearly. She said she was better for both rum and tobacco. She had no religion to speak of,’ and was un- questionably one of the oddest and most in- teresting characters that the Nineteenth cen- tury has produced. JOHN AND HIS TEACHER. Good Cltlnnmen and Pretty Girls at: Sun- day School. The Sunday school room of Dr. Deems‘ Church of the Strangers is on Mercer street, backing up against the church itself, which fronts on Winthrop place. It is alarge, airy roomon the second floor. The services are held in the morning. In the afternoon the room is given up toChinamen and young Indies. The ladies teach the Chinamen to speak and read English, and as soon as they can understand enough they inculcate the principles of Christianity. It is a flourishing school. On pleasant afternoons it is filled to overflowing, and the mingling of the soft English accents of the teachers with the gruff but melodious jargon of the Celestiala forms an unintelligible murmuras musical as it is odd. The eye alsohas its curious treat. Each Cbinaman has his own teacher. They sit in pairs all over the room, bending over the same book or slate. The unshapely and often coarse blue tunic of the Chinamen con- trasts oddly with the trim figure and tailor made suit of the teacher. The guadily em- broidered Chinese shoe looks the more wooden and ungainly beside the neat, tiny foot that peeps from under the teacher’s skirts The Chinamen’s pigtail, rudely wound about the back of his head, apparently dis- torting its shape, often brushes against the - flowers and feathers of that dream which the teacher calls her best hat. The most curious, of all contrast is when the pretty features of the American - girl, her peachy akin, eager, winning smile, and laughing, bright eyes, approach close to the yellow, wrinkled face, impassive gaze, almond eyes, and dis- torted grin of the Chinamau. Long looked at, the effect is a. little bewildering. There is . no missionary labor that requires so much tact and patience as managing a Chinese school. Chinameu won’t be taught in cm Each one wants his own teacher. In the second, plhce, Chinamen don‘t like male teachers. , Men overawe them, and, be sides, they have an eye, for beauty. They like pretty girls, and. won’t pay much atten- tion to any others. Teaching Chinamen is not the field for a. homely girl, no matter how great her missionary real may be. To see that each Chinaman has the teacher of his choice is the hard duty that Superinten- dent Krug tackled. He carried a book with all the Chinumen’s names in it and the favor- ite teacher opposite. He approached the corner near the door. Every seat was filled with Chinamen. , _ It makes no difference how long a China- man has attended a Sunday school, how well he knows his brother scholars and his teach. Mlot'howflimiiinnbe iswlth the place and its surroundings, he is at once overcome with modesty the moment he enters the door. There are no more self conscious creatures than Chinnmen, and this it is that makes at once the charm and difllculty of teaching them. They are never eager, but always grateful. They never take ofiense, but are sensitive to the faintest appearance of a slight. They are like house dogs in their do- cility and affection, but like children in sen- sitiveuess. The work of teaching them can- not bo carried along sucmssfully-bythe avers. age man. Men, conscious of their kindliness of intention, often oficntl unknowingly by brusqueness. Teaching Chinamen is woman‘s natural mission field. Her sensitive nature is quick to read the delicacies .of the China- man’e temperament, and her tact easily en- ables her to avoid the rocks and quicksands on the road to his confidence.-—-New York Sun. , 41,de In Solid Coal. The correspondent of The Colliery Guar- Clan reports ncuse which, if true, must be interesting to geologists.

It-was adjusted in the basement hall, and during the hot weather saved the heating of the house by the range on several ironing days. But it was rather near the wooden wainscoting of the ball, and the lady’s husband being amen of an observing and mechanical turn of mind, noticed this dan- gerous proximity. As a precaution against fire be obtained 3 large sheet of asbestos, and fastened it securely wherever the heat of the stove would strike. The asbestos looked ex- actly like a sheet - of pasteboard, and very poor pasteboard atthat, and the next time she made the fire the cook observed its very inflammable appearance, and hauled out from the cellar an old fireboard, which she put be- hind the stove to protect the asbestos.

GRANT’S CALMNESS. The Only Time Be Ever Showed More Than Ordinary Concern. “I met," said Gert. iHayes, “at an army dinner some time ago Col. Bowers, a. favorite aide of Grant’s, and asked him during the evening, ‘What was the most striking exhi- bition of fear, anxiety or a sense of responsi- bility that you ever noticed in Gen. Granti’ ‘Well,’ replied Bowers, ‘if there was one in- stance above all others where he seemed to be affected by the stress of care it was during ' the five days’ fight dOWn In the Wildernem On one of the days, I think the fourth, the fighting commenced early in the morning and continued all through the day. At the end of the day there Ind been great slaughter on both sides, and we had not carried a point; we had been repulsed on every side. There was not an absolute defeat, but we all ' felt that our army had been shaken, and that poulbly a severe, determined return attack by Lee’s army might be disastrous. “ ‘Just at dark that night,’ Bowers con- tinued,” said Gen. Hayes, “ “we were all gathered about a log fire that was built on the green award at Grant’s quarters. All Grant’s staff were about the fire, and as the flickering flames lighted up their faces it could be seen that they were all oppresed with the greatness of the losses of the day and the preceding days. Nothing _was said. The log crackled and sputtered in theflre. Grant stood by, looking at the bright flames, this -hanus,.pgpinu'hn back,- a. cigar in his _ mouth, saying. nothim.

The Lower St. Lam People. While conversing with the people I was in . the habit of taking notes, as I had done else- where ix‘: my travels. ' But here this custom appeared to excite suspicion, so that often I was received with. coldness audconstraint. After mass on Sunday'l knocked at the open door of t: benignant old man whom I had met the day before. There were other old men inn row, seated in severe and comical re- serve; no one spoke at firstin reply to my knock, but at last the woman of the house in a questionable way bade me come in. For half an hour I used all the persuasiveuess at my command, even when helped by curiosity and inward amusement; but all my efforts to thaw them were yain; even the genial old man was now as dry as the others; only the woman, true to the superiority of her sex herein education, intelligence and percep- tion, became a little softened, and looked upon me as one of the human kind. But my advent among them had amazed in some way the national suspicion, and conscious that evenifIlabored for a month I could not remove their mistrust, I withdrew and returned to my canoe. The explanation was subsequently given me, partly by acquaintances who knew the people, and partly by knowledge of the peo- ple’s history, traditions and superstitions. In early times ofiicers of the government went about the parishes and took the names of those liable for military duty, who were afterward often called out; and even to this day the ignorant inhabitants have a great unwillingness to give their names; even the census officer isoffon much annoyed unless the cure tells his flock to give him informa- ‘tion; moreover, many of‘ them believe that; any man who has their names or their por. traits can commandtheir persona through oc- cult forms.

They both sign all theirchecks, and both at- tend to the details of their businem. Nearly 60,0m cases of Pomery are sold in the United States every year. Mme. Pomery’s trade is enormous. She pays her buyer 50,000 francs a year. He goes among the peasantry and buys up all the wine necessary to restock tho cellars, and he is a man absolutely above sue picion. It would not do for him to be other- wise, for upon him depends the continued good reputation of the Pomery champagne. But the largest champagne house 1: France is Most 8:. Cbandou’s. I do not know why it is that so little of their wine is sold in this country. It took me just one week to go through their cellars. When I was there the last: time ,they had 16,000,000 bottles and 80,000 hogsbend's of wine. You will see, then, that there is no immediate danger of ex- hausting the champagne supply."—Intcrview Gold Field Under Philadelphia. The ground on which Philadelphia is built is one of the richest gold fields in the world. This is a fact. The only difficulty is that the field cannot be worked. Nearly the whole city is underlaid with clay to the depth of about ten feet—an area say ten miles square. Acubic foot of clay, weighing 120 pounds, takefi from a depth of fourteen feet when the cellar of the Twelfth street market house was excavated,..\vas practically demonstrated to contain seven-tenths of a grain of gold, or one pound in 1,234,003. The experiment was repeated with about the same results with clay taken from a brickde in the suburbs. Supposing the whole mass of clay to be 4,180,000,000 pounds (and it is really much greater), the amount of gold would reach in value the enormous sum of $126,000,000. The gravel is much richer in gold than the clay, but'tbero is not so much of it. Undoubtedly $200,000,003 worth of gold lies within fifteen feet of the surface and still it cannot be used. ano speed-er meteors. I The velocity of meteorites is something wonderful.

A Hint to Theatregoera. I notice that in leaving places of evening amusement people almost always wrap up their throats. This is a great mistake, and brings on the very evil they wish to avoid, by making the throat hot and susceptible to cold air, causing the voice to become hard and harsh. When leaving a crowded build- ing the neck should be left uncovered and the mouth kept closed for a few minutes; this will warm the air before it: reaches the lungs, and prevent chest colds.

Some Legal Information Respecting Wafer Rights—m Principles. It is a generous principle, that every owner of land upon a. natural stream of water has a. right to use the water for any reasonable purpom not inconsistent with a similar right in the owners of the land above, below and opposite to him. He may take the water to supply his dwelling, to irrigate his land, or to quench the thirst of his cattle; to use it for manufacturing purposes, such as the sup- plying of steam boilers or the running of water wheels or other hydraulic works, so long as such use does not sensibly and injur- iously affect its volume. But this is a mere privilege running with the land, not a prop- erty in the wafer itself. Where the stream is small, and does not supply water more than sufficient to answer the wants of the different proprietor! living on the stream, none of the proprietors can use the water for either irrigation or manu- facturing, but for domestic purposes and watering stock one proprietorwill be justified in consuming all the wafer. Twenty years’ use adverse to the right of another will give the person so using the stream the right to continue the use. regard- less of the other’s rights. And as to the division of water, every one who owns land situated upon it stream has the following rights: 1. To the natural. flow of the stream. ~ 2.

Here the first revolving pistols were made. Here the first repeating rifles were invented and used; and today, when all military na- tions are adopting magazine rifles, the Brit- ish, after the most careful and protracted trials, have fixed upon an American model as the best. The first machine gun ever made was the earliest pattern of the Gatling, constructed in 1861; a weapon which in im- proved form is now used the world over, and which in rapidity of fire has never been up- Another machine gun, the Gard- ner, also an American invention, and equally of world wide fame. hasqualltiea which make it in some respects even superior to the Gat- ling; it is of simpler construction, more durable, lighter, easier to work andmore ac- curate. Finally, the Maxim, the latest ma- chine gun, which, all qualities considered, is as far superior to the Gardner and Gatling as these to the mitrailleuse used by the French in 1870, is the invention of American. Unfortunately, the want of encouragement he received in his own country compelled the inventor to establish his workshops in Europe, as Hotchkiss, the inventor of the re- volving cannon, had previously to do. Almost alone among American war invetr tions to which government encouragement has been accorded is the pneumatic torpedo gun, first devised by Mr. Mefford, of Ohio, and developed by Capt. Zallnski. It is true that the impossibility of retaining the ex- clusive use of this weapon for the United States has already been shown, the Germans having constructed a pneumatic gun which is apparently capable of equally efficient work—New Orleans TimesDemocrat. The Dog and tho Conductor. Justasthecarwas starting a black dog with immense whiskers, which stuck out like an Elimbethian rufle around his head, jumped on the platform uninvited and slipped under the seat. The dog was a. mon- grel, apparently, and i: waif of the streets. The only person who took an interest in the animal’s movements was the conductor. Re- spectfully and firmly the conductor asked the mine intruder to come out. The dog didn’t show any disrespect particularly unless it was involved in his persistent refusal to leave his refuge :mder the out. When the conductor went to the forward end of the car and clapped his hands and cried: “Sh—sh-—get out i” the dog calmly ran down to the other end of the car, care- fully keepiug under the seat all the . way. The procem was repeated without change, with the positions of dog and conductor re- versed—that is, the conductor stood at the entrance of the car and the dog ran up to the forward end. After asession of this art for about ten minutes the conductor quit, although the dog showed no signs of fatigue. It was very amusing to watch the dog, whenever anyone got out and left him exposed to view, fly into ambush again behind the nether limbs 0 some other passenger. . - The dog rode to the terminus of the line.- Pittsburg Dispatch.
