She Did Not Quite Explain.
Even in a business so grave as the under-
taker’s ludicrous situations often occur. Here
is a’good story told of an undertaker in our
neighboring city of Indianapolis.
This~ undertaker, whom we will call Mr.
Z, is a very sympathetic man, and one
who sincerely mourns when it becomes his
painful duty to take charge of the obsequies
of his friends or acquaintances.
One freezing cold day last winter a young
lady whom he knew well and whose family
he was much attached to entered his office
and seemed to be at once so overcome by her
feelings that she could not speak. Mr. Z,
much shocked to think that some member of
her family had fallen a victim to the death
angel, drew her near the grate and placed
herin achair. He then thought it best to
let her take her own time to tell him the sad
news. The young lady sat for some time
with head bowed and unable to retain her
sobs. Finally she drew a note out of her
muff, handed it to Mr. Z and went sob-
bing out of the office. The note was addressed
toMrs. Z, but the affair seemed so curious
Mr. Z resolved to read the note It ran like
this:
“My dear Mrs. Z: Asyou are in our section
in the church, I am going to ask you to
contribute boiled ham for our social next
Tuesday evening at the church parlors.
Yours, in haste, Mrs ———."
Afterward, when asked why she wept so
copiously, the young lady said: “In the first
place I cried because I was so cold, and then
just as I went in I happened to think how
dreadful it would be if any of our family
were dead.”—Chicago Times. -
An Old Game Revived.
“One of the neatest tricks I have heard of
insome time was perpetrated by a pair of
burglars in this city lately,” saida police cap-
tain yesterday. “The younger of the two
had entered a private residence while the in-
mates were at tea, and the elder stood out-
side on watch. The rifier was discovered and
was soon chased from one floor to another by
two gentlemen members of the household.
Somebody called ‘police,’ and the outside
burglar, drawing his revolver, responded.
‘There, there, ladies; don’t make any fuss.
I’ll take care of this fellow,"he said, and,
making a rush, he grabbed his mate by the
collar and gave him a cuff on the neck as he
led him down the stoop. The family breathed
more freely, and the gentlemen prepared to
go to the station house to swear out a com-
plaint. When they arrived there nobody
had heard of the case. The burglars had
vanished. It’s an old trick, but I haven’t
heard about it in this neighborhood in many
years.”—New York Graphic.
Pointing Out the Lions.
An undergraduate of Oxford university .
_' you givin’ us?
was taking a detachment of strangers round
to see the sights and, when he had exhausted _
the chapels and the cloistered shades, he .
brought them into the quadrangle of his own :
college.
“There is only one thing left for us to see,”
he said. “Look there; that is the window of
my college tutor.”
As the young man‘ spoke he picked up a
pebble from the path and sent it crashing
through the pane of glass. An elderly gen-
tleman, in cap and gown, put his head out
and shook his fist.
“I thought that would bring him out,” ex-
claimed the undergraduate in‘ triumph.
“That, ladies and gentlemen. is my tutor him-
self.”—Time. ,
Tired Nature’s Swoet Restorer.
Statistics of sleep may not prove anything
of importance, but they are interesting. Ac-
cording to statistics prepared in Russia, the
need of sleep is greater in women than in
men, the duration of sleep being longer and
the percentage of tired morning and evening
and of not tired being three to two and two
to three respectively as compared to the men.
Students sleep longer and are less tired than
other men. The time needed to fall asleep is
about the same in all three classes—20.8 min-
utes for the men, 17.1 minutes for students,
and 21.2 minutes for women. In each case,
however, it takes longer for those who are
frequent dreamers and light sleepers to fall
asleep than persons of opposite characteris
tics—Exchange.
How to Make Ice at Home.
The following recipe for home made ice
may be found of use: Take a cylindrical ves-
sel and pour 3% ounces of commercial sul-
phuric acid and 1% ounces of water into it,
and then add one ounce of powdered sulphate
of soda. In the center of this mixture place
asmaller vessel containing the water to be
frozen; then cover the vessel, and, if pos-
sible, revolve the whole with a gentle mo-
tion. In a few minutes the water in the
small vessel will be converted into ice. The
same mixture can be used a. second or a third
time for making a block of ice. The opera-
tion should, if possible, be performed in a
cool place—in a cellar, for example. —Colliery

A Suggestive Contrast.
A minister and a wealthy member of his
congregation were walking along the beach
admiring the shells that had been cast up by
the sea. .
“Can you tell me,” said the minister, “why
this ocean is unlike—very unlike—my con-
gregation i”
“I couldn’t tell; no, sir. I am disposed to
look upon conundrums as frivolous"
“Sometimes they are, but this one isn’t. ll:
is based on a sad, solid fact. ”
“Well, I give it up, anyhow.”
“It’s because the sea shells out.”
And the wealthy member was wrapped in
thought for several minutes—Washington

Apostles Differ.
William Morris, the h, a' Socialist, does
not seem to like Mr. ellamy’s “Looking
Backward.” He says that, though the author
“tells us that every man is free to choose his
occupation, and that work is no burden to
any one, the impression which he produces in
that of a huge standing army, tightly drilled,
compelled by some mysterious fate to un‘
ceasing anxiety for the production of wares
to satisfy every caprice.” William Morris’
"Dream of John Ball,” by the way, is a
much more satisfactory bit of Utopianistic
literature than “Looking Backward.”—Bos-

HOWHE RUNS THE RANCH. -'
LARGE PART TAKEN BY THE OFFICE
BOY OF A DAILY PAPER.
1115 Well Developed Nerve- Is Calculated
to Carry Him Through Life a Winner.
Other Positions of Some Importance, Yet
They Shrink When Compared with His.
Among all the attaches of ‘a big newspaper
there is one who imagines himself the head
and front of the concern, the pre—eminent
manager of the office, but for whose untiring
energies and indomitable will the paper would
never find its way to the subscribers’ front
doorsteps two hours before sunrise, rain or
shine, every day in the week, including Sun-
days. This self important individual on whose
shoulders rests so great a responsibility is no
less a personage than the office boy, the
much abused, greatly maltreated, and ever
underrated youth who spends many sleepless
nights worrying about the editorial conduct.
of the paper.
The office boy is not, properly speaking, a
marvel of probity. He is a nearer kin to the
devil. He may think he gets up the paper,
but he doesn’t. He only assists, and he as-
sists in his own peculiar way. He is always
in the way when one doesn’t want him, and
is never around when there is an urgent case
on hand which requires his immediate atten-
tion. He is slower than his brother of the
district {messenger service, and chews gum,
keeping time with his jaws. to all his move-
ments. But he isn’t aware, or pretends not
to be, that there is anything in his general
make up which tends to detract in the least _
from the many excellent qualities he thinks
he possesses.
Johnny thinks he has a hard struggle for
an existence, but Johnny is mistaken. It’s
true he has to run back and forth a hundred
times in the course of a night between the
local and telegraph rooms and the composing
room. It is also true that everybody wants
him at the same time, and on such occasions
he has to bring his fine judgment as a news-
paper man into play and decide on the spur
of the moment whom to serve first. The
copy in the local room must be carried into
the composing room immediately; likewise
a big bundle of news that has just arrived
by the lightning process over a copper wire.
The foreman, too, has some proofs which
must be taken at once to the proof reader,
but Johnny, if he is as bright as the average
office youngster, knows just whom to serve
first. Strange to say, he doesn’t attempt to
run all three errands at once. He doesn’t go
to the nearest place either, but hurries, after
his own fashion, to the room where he would
stand the best chance of getting a blowing
up if he didn’t answer the call promptly.
Ten minutes later he shuffles into the local
room.
“Did you ring?” he asks. .
“Ring? Why we’ve been ringing for you
for the last half hour.”
“No you haven’t, either. I’ve been sitting
out by the elevator for the last ten minutes
and you haven’t rung once during that time.”
“W'ell, here now, take this copy out and
hurry up about it. Tell Mr. Jones that this
leads the South side murder with a display
hear .”
“IVho was murdered?” asks the boy.
“Peter Brown. Hurry up. now.”
“W'ho killed him?”
“Oh, Sam W'illiams killed him in a saloon
row on Clark street. Now take that copy out
and hurry up about it for the first edition.”
“All right, sir. Did he shoot him or stab
him ?'"
“Will you take that copy out?” asks the
copy reader, losing his temper.
“Well, ain’t I taking it out? “That are
Do you take me for a streak
Of lightning?”
This is more than the copy reader can
stand. He jumps up and makes for the fiery
headed youth, but on these occasions Johnny
displays his latent agility. He invariably
reaches the door first and slams it in the
other’s face with the parting admonition that
he’s “gettin’ too fresh.”
Johnny starts out with the copy after this
little episode, and as he couldn’t get the in-
formation he wanted verbally he stops on
the way to digest the contents of the copy.
It is important that he should know every-
th'iilg that goes into the paper, but he hasn’t
educated the employes of the local room up
to a. recognition of that fact yet. He hopes
to do so before long. He hopes also to get a
raise of salary soon, for he is tired of “work-
ing himself to death” for a dollar a week and
car fare.
Johnny has one sympathizing friend into
whose willing ear he pours all his woes. This
is the elevator man. He gives the youngster
all the free rides he wants down to the street
floor and back and thereby incurs his ever-
lasting friendship. Johnny swears by the
man who manipulates the Wire rope that con—
trols the movements of the elevator cage and
that individual is the only person whom he
recognizes as his superior. For him he will
do any service. He is the only person about
the office whom Johnny envies his position
and the only one on whom he won’t play
tricks.
After Johnny has had one of his frequent
rows with the copy readers in the local or
telegraph room he seeks consolation from his
friend.
The office boy is the only person in a news-
paper oifice who does just as he pleases. When
the circus comes to town he takes his day off
without asking anybody‘s permission. On
the Fourth of July he touches off a big fire-
cracker under the proofreader’s desk and
sticksa crooked pin in the night editor’s chair
to get even with that individual for sending
him out after his midnight lunch. He never
means to do any of these things. They and
a hundred other annoying little tricks that
he is responsible for are accidents, and when
they happen he puts on his most sorrowful
look and seems so genuinely repentant that
. one doesn’t have the heart to strike the lad.
These woe begone looks are all on the surface,
however, and as soon as he gets a chance to
slip away he hies himself to an unfrequented
spot and has a good laugh all to himself. His
vacations generally come whenever he gets
“sick,” which he does on every holiday and
about once a week besides.
The office boy, in fact, is probably the
sickliest person living, but the redeeming fea—
ture of his sickness is that it always comes
over him at the most opportune time for his
own convenience. The office boy’s position is
not a sinecure, after all. He is everybody’s
property and ever . one takes a kick at him
when he chooses. e is eternally kicking up
a fuss in some department, but he invariably
pays up for it by running his legs off on im-
possible assignments about the office, but if
the fellows “on the desk” do get the best of
Johnny in the long run he remains in blissful
ignorance of the fact, so the victory is only
half a one after all. and it is probably better
for the copy readers that this is so, for if the
boy could read the thoughts of some of them
he would make it so hot for them that in self
defense they would tender their resignations.

Yale’s Wooden Spoon Celebration.
A correspondent wishes to know “in what
year the wooden spoon celebration of Yale
college ceased.” The last wooden spoon,which
was originally intended for presentation to
the most popular member of a class, was con-
ferred upon a member of the class of 1871.
The first was given to a ’52 man. The pres-
entation was elaborately gotten up, and was
followed by a promenade dance, which was
attended by the parents and friends of the
celebrating class. Each class strove to outdo
the one preceding it. The event grew mOre
and more elaborate in' design, and more and
more expensive. In time the college societies
took a. class interest In the elections, and pre-
' sentedutheir favorites as candidates. This
naturally led to wire pulling and the adop-
tion of electioneering methods, which are
familiar to those who today take a hand in
the conduct of political campaigns.
Bad blood was engendered, and not infre-
quently the harmony of the class was seri-
ously disturbed, and in at least one instance
has never been healed. Things were in this
condition when the feature was eliminated
from the social life of the college. We are
not sure, but we are of the opinion that the
faculty took the matter ill hand and made
itself responsible for its overthrow. Outof
the wooden spoon celebration grew the pres-
ent magnificent junior promenade. For
several years the significance of the wooden
spoon was supposed to attach itself to the
student who was elected chairman of the
junior promenade committee. He retained
the copper plate from which the hand-
some invitations were printed. Since the
memory of the wooden spoon affair has been
entirely obliterated, we believe no such sig-
nificance is attached to the honor, though it
still remains the highest social honor con-
ferred by each successive clam, and the strife
for it is hotly, though thus far in every case
generously, contested. ——New Haven Register.
Early Rising.
All the talk about early rising is moonshine.
The habit of turning out of bed in the middle
of the night suits some people; let them en-
joy it. But it is only folly to lay down a
general rule upon the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day after
they have risen early every morning. Their
energies are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed.
It is said you can work so well ill the morn-
ing. Some people can, but others can work
best at night; others, again, in the afternoon.
Long trial and experiment form the only
conclusive tests upon these points.
As for getting up early because Professor
All Gammon has written letters to the papers
proving the necessity of it, let no one be
goose enough to do it.
IVc all know the model man, aged 80: “I
invariably arise at 5; I work three hours,
take a light breakfast—namely, a cracker
and a pinch of salt; work five hours more;
never smoke; never drink anything but bar-
ley water, eat no dinner, and go to bed at 6
ill the evening.”
If any one finds that donkeyfied sort of a
life suits him, by all means let him continue
it. But few people would care to live to 80 f
on these terms. If a man cannot get‘ all
withered and crumpled up on easier condi-
tions than those, it is almost as well that he
should depart before he is a. nuisance to him- 2

oughtto get up early, for it isfound that
nine-tenths of them can stand it, and it does .
them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice as
goodamau as he is if he had risen every
morning at daylight. The habit would kill
half of us in less than five years—Medical

Odd Things on the Head.
In Norway a high hat shaped something
like a flower pot is worn, and the Cossack
wears a hat like a stovepipe, without a brim.
Today among the Swiss a hat is worn simi-
lar in form to the old Puritan hat. It, how-
ever, is often ornamented with gay colored
ribbons about it.
A Fish Story.
An account of a strange occurrence comes
from Sodus bay. While some of the facts
connected with the event may appear in-
credulous, yet the high character and stand-
ing of the parties witnessing the abnormal
occurrence entitles the narrative to consider-
ation. Three men, whose names shall not be
mentioned, were fishing last Friday night in
the placid waters of Big Sodus bay They
pursued their sport in a skiff of ordinary size,
aided by a friendly light, reflected from the
bow of the boat. At a. late hour in the night
the occupants of the boat were startled by a
peculiar sound proceeding from the hgavens
It resembled the flapping of wings. Imagine
their surprise when the trio of men suddenly
beheld a fish lying at the bottom of the boat.
It apparently approached from the cloud re
gion, and at an angle of 45 dogs. After
recovering from their surprise the men pro
ceeded to a critical examination of their
nocturnal visitor. It was found to be an eel
and weighed 5% pounds. In place of the or-
dinary eel fin was a short, stout member,
part fin and part wing, about five inches long
and four wide. The tail of this monster,
which evideuflflerved as a rudder to guide
it in its aerial flight, was also supplied with
semi-formed quills.
Local scientists who have examined this
curious creature are inclined to believe that
it is in a transitory stage from the fish to the
bird creation. The evidence is further em-
phasized by the fact that when supplied with
different kinds of food the creature ate near-
ly a quart of corn, using its head much in the
manner as a goose does when eating corn.
There are also well defined legs and toes
forming upon the belly of this undefinable
creature—Lyons Republican.

A Case of Death Following Suspension.
In the Lyon Medicat, No. 20, we read of
‘ the following case of death following suspen-

was a man, aged 40, who for five years previ-
ously had been suffering from tabes, and
who, after reading of the excellent results
obtained by suspension, bought an apparatus.
The disease had taken a very rapid course in
him, paraplegia being almost complete. He
was suspended two or three times daily by
his man servant. The first seven suspensions
were followed by most marked improvement,
and the patient was able to walk a. few steps.

A Convict’s Canes.
A few days ago I noticed some sole leather
canes for sale by a street fakir. They re-
minded me of their origin. They were first
made by a convict in the Wisconsin state
prison at Waupun. The poor devil had had
trouble with his first wife, and after being
separated for a long time he understood that
she had obtaineda divorce. Meanwhile he
had become acquainted with a woman who
seemed to be more congenial to.him, and
when he learned he was free they were mar-
ried. Soon after he was arrested for bigamy,
and found that his carelessness would cost
him several years in prison. He endured his
sentence patiently, and the woman of his
second, choice remained faithful to him dur-
ing his incarceration.
While there he was employed in the shoe
department and originated the leather cane,
samples of which were put in the visitors’ re-
ception room and sold as curiosities. Of
course they were made by hand, the bits of
sole leather being put on a steel core and
scrapedfo the desired shape with pieces of
glass. The demand for them led him to pat-
ent the cane, and upon his release he started
ashop near the prison, where be employed
several hands in their manufacture, the shap-
ing being done by lathes. He also obtained
a “sure enough” divorce this time and mar-
ried the woman who had been so faithful to
him—St. Paul Pioneer Press. .
The Sailors Needed Them.
_ Somebody writes from an American Vessel
in China that a missionary had scattered sev-

which the sailors sadly needed to learn and

Lulea’s Great Elevator.
The great elevator built on the quay at
Lulea, by the Swedish-Norwegian Railway
company, for loading ore direct into ships,
has now been finished, and its operation is
reported to be a success, the elevator raising
three trucks simultaneously in two minutes,
the same being then moved along the rails to
shoots leading into the hold of the ship, and
emptied. The whole arrangement is said to .
be so perfect that a ship of some 2.500 tons
may be loaded in a day. In the engine room
are two engines of sixty horse power each,
steam being supplied by three boilers. The
engines pump water into two accumulators,
whence it flows through underground pipes
to the elevator, which it will raise with a
load of 120 tons on it—the hydraulic pressure
being equal to twenty atmospheres, or at the
rate of 300 pounds per square inch-New

Ills Way of Putting It.
“Do you know what an oath is, my child I”
“Yes, sir; I am obliged to tell the truth.”
"And if you always tell the truth where will
you go to when you die?” “Up to heaven,
sir." “And what will become of you if you
tell lies?” “I shall go down to the naughty
place, sir.” “Are you quite sure of that?”
“Yes, sir; quite sure.” “Let her besworn.

to their mother. Pretty soon he wanted_to
