LIZZIE.
I wonder ef all wimmin air,
Like Lizzie is when we go out
To theatres an’ concerts where
Is things the papers talk about,
Do other wimmin fret an’ stew
Like they was bein’s crucified,
Frettin’ a show or concert, through,
With wonderin’ ef the baby cried?
Now, Lizzie knows that gran’ma’s there
To see that everything is right;
Yet Lizzie thinks that gran’ma’s care
Ain’t good enuff £'r baby, quite,
Yet what am I to answer when
She kind uv fidgets by my side,
An’ asks me every now an’ then
“I wonder ef the baby cried?”
Seems like she seen two little eyes
A-pinin’ {'r their mother’s smile;
Seems like she hearn the pleadin’ cries
Uv one she thinks uv all the while;
An’ so she’s sorry that she cum,
An’ though she allus tries to hide
The truth, she’d ruther stay to hum
Then wonder if the baby cried.
Yes, wimmin folks is all alike,
By Lizzie you kin jedge the rest ;
There never was a little tyke,
But that his mother loved him best.
An’ next to bein’ what it be,
The husband uv my gentle bride,
I'd wisht I wuz that croodlin’ wee,
With Lizzie wonderin’ ef I cried.

A NEW GALLEGHER.
The Newsboy Who “Got There.”
BY HARRIET CARYL COX,
Joe was no saint, In fact he was as
dirty, mischievous, sly and lock-out.
for-number-one a youngster as you
could find anywhere in the streets of
Boston.
He had a round, bright little face,
when it was clean enough to be seen,
an energetic little body, and enough
genuine, Yankee spunk and cuteness
for a man of 40 ; aud he was only 11.
And be knew, dear me, he knew as
much of the world, its shadows par-
ticularly, as any man, and the amount
of facts and information he had man-
aged tostow away in his head was
truly remarkable.
Joe was an omnivorous reader. No
other word half expresses it, for every-
thing in the shape of printed matter
that came beneath his quick brown
eyes he devoured, regardless of his age
or subject. And co his mind was a cu-
rious mixture of facts and falsities,
gathered from all sources, from patent
medicine almanacs to tracts on “The
Drunkard’s Fate” and “Why Work.
men Should Vote for Prohibition,”
not to mention standard literature.
He didn’t patronize the Public Li-
brary and the Athenzum to be sure,
but he had a library of his own, a
small, select, yet very genuine library,
packed away in a big shoe box in the
corner of the attic which he with six
congenial spirits hired for a dollar a
week, and where they “kept house.”
There was in his library all the lit-
erature hie had ever possessed. Sev-
eral paper covered novels he had
picked up at railway stations, a lot of
pamphlets advertising quack medicines
several copies of the Union Signal and
Women's Journal, more of the Police
Gazette and Fireside Companion, three
copies of The Twentieth Century, a
book On the Care of the Teeth, one of
the five-cent editions of Pickwick Pa-
pers, Robinson Crusoe, a volume of
Our Dumb Animals, Paradise Lost,
several pages from the Psalms, a halt
of a Franklin's Fifth Reader. some
ragged copies from Harper's, Scribner's
and Babyland, a copy of the Forum,
countless dailies, a box of clippings, or
rather tearings, tor their ragged edges
betokened no contact with the shears,
and apart from the others, carefullly
covered by a bit of clean calico, a pret-
tily bound copy of Dickens’ Christmas
Carol. This of ali hie library, Joe
prized most, though there were some
stories in Harper's and Scribner's he
was never weary of reading, and then
telling to his room mates in his own
manner. .
And the boys, though they made
fun of Joe's literary taste, always
looked out for any additions, they
might make to the library, for Joe was
willing almost any time to forego his
supper for a volume, or his weekly
turn on the only matiress the room af-
forded, if the book were a very desira-
ble one.
Joe was not an ideal beok-worm,
nor an ideal anything, but he man-
aged to get along pretty well.
Joe wanted to be a newspaper man
—he was already a newsboy—and he
hung about the buildings along news.
paper row, gave valuable information
to the reporters as they rushed in and
out, and in tact he felt himself quite an
important part of the nfachinery.
His pet paper was the “Plaget,” and
about the Planet Building, on the side-
walk outside, on the steps, or in the
lobby he was a familiar figure.
There was one “Planet” reporter in
particular whom Joe had singled out
for his admiration. He was a young
man, just entering journalism and very
mueh in love with it, and determined
to rise.
At various times he had given Joe |
odd pennies, once a nickel and once a
quarter, for his suggestion of and infor-
mation about a certain subject that he
had worked up as a two column spec-
ial. Joe himself had figured init, to
his great satisfaction, and since that
day he had been the reporter,s devoted
slave.
Then Joe had another protege, a
young woman on the “Daily De-
seriber.” She was a little thing, girl-
ish in appearanee, but bright and suc-
cessful in her work. “She’s got spunk
enough for a man” was the way Joe
put it.
He found it out the second day she
was there.
She had come in from the sidewalk
hurriedly, but found the etairs blocked
by no less than ix newsboys and boot-
blacks, engaged in a most interesting
disenssion. 4
She had hesitated a moment waiting
for them to move, but they were a sol- |
id phalanx and entirely stopped the!

“I want to pass,” she said in a quick,
decided voice—but not a boy moved.
She just looked at them, slipped her
note book into her. pocket, and before
they imagined what she was about,
with a quick movement landed them
very emphatically at one side of the
narrow passage, and walked up stairs.
But not before Joe had caught her eye,
and shouted out.
gal,’ at the same time rubbing his
head which had come in contact with
the wall.
And since then the two have been
pretty good friends.
“Joe,” said she one afternoon as she
had paused to watch him relling an
old countryman the “Daily Describer”
when he had asked for the “Planet,”
“what did you do that for?”
#0, cause!” he answered, rolling his
eyes—*‘ "cause he’s a pious old feller!”
“And so you sold him the ‘De-
seriber;’ you'd almost make a second
per,” she answered, laughing.
“A second Gallegher’’— Joe jumped
up and down—that was the highest
praise she could have given him.
Gallegher was his ideal. He had
heard people talking about Gallegher,
and had stolen the reading of several
pages at a book stall, and above all
earthly creatures he admired Galle
gher. *My, wa'n’t he smart” he ex-
claimed, when relating the story to his
room mates,
murderer, and was smarter'n all the
detectives—and he got that copy back
in time, and beat the town!” and his
face shone and his heart swelled with
envy.
The first thing to do was to get that
book and read the whole story. He
must have it for his “library.”
Bat that wasn’t selling papers—he
guessed he'd better look alive or Tom-
my Lynch would get ahead of him,
and he made a dive for Tremont street.
The streets were crowded ; everyone
was going home, the whole line of elec-
trics in front df Park Street Church was
fast filling. Men and women were
rushing to and fro, car after car rattled
away always leaving some tired
woman trying in vain to make it wait
for her,
He sold most of his papers, for some-
how he managed to get ahead of the
others in a most unscrupulous manner,
There was timid little Ted. A big fat
man stopped, asking for a “Trumpe-
ter,” and before Ted had time to even
put his hand on the papers beneath
his arm. Joe handed out one with a
flourish, received the coppers, and
dropped them into his pocket with a
grin. That was business.
But now he leaned back against the
grating in front of the old churchyard
and watched the struggle. He had a
quick eye, and wore than oae scene
trom this spot had been, through him,
given to the world in the columns of
“Seen and Heard,” or “The Town
Pump.” Joe knew a good story when
he saw it.
Here were two girls rushing to take
the Longwood car. It was just start
| ing, but they could have caught it had
aot one of them come in contact with
the heavy cane of a dude, which sent
her bundles flying. Joe sprang to
help her.
“This your’n, miss?” he queried,
holding up a pocketbook and reaching
out for a parasol that was just about to
be stepped on by a passer-by. His ef-
fort was not at all disinterested, be
cause, for among other things a yellow
covered paper book had fallen. It
was now safely tucked under Joe's
flannel blouse.
Of course, the young lady smiled at
him very sweetly, end cailed him “an
honest littie fellow,” aud turned to take
a car, which Joe told her was ‘a com-
ing.”
There was one coming—bhut not hers,
and Joe with a chuckle was down
School street with his hand on the pre-
cious book.
Then he stopped in a doorway, drew
out the hook—and almost dropped it
in his excitement. It was Gallegher.
He could hardly believe his eyes ;
caught two of them by the collar and
“Bally for you, old
‘Gallegher’ in your efforts for our pa-

ished—*'it ia Grallegher sure enough !
Then he started for home, without a
pang of conscience, poor little heathen,
passing the *Describer’” office on the
way, Ino the door stood Miss Tracy
looking up and down the street.
“That you, Joe ?” she exclaimed. “I
was hoping you'd come along, I want
you.”
“You do?" he queried, shutting one |
eye and bumping his head against the
wall—‘well, fire ahead.”
“I have to go up to Marlboro’ street
for an interview, and I don’t want to
come back to the office again, for [|

“Now, Joe, please, she said—“I'm

Atthe entrance of the Common he
stood under the lamp posts and read
awhile. Then he sauntered across to
the Public Garden, where he stopped
on the bridge for a second reading.
Finally he wandered on to Marlboro’
street,

Joe leaned against a railing and |
wordered where Miss Tracy was, and
how "twould seem to live in one of
those big houses. He could see into
several, and it looked nice there.
He wondered what time it
Just then two men brushed by him, |
and Joe looked after them as they |
passed. “Guess Til follow ’em,” he |
muttered ; “they don’t look like Back |
Bayers.” |
Joe had quite a lively imagination, |
|
i
He fancied he was a detective, and
these men were going to murder some-
body and he would give the alarm, |
catch one of them as they turned to |
fly, wound bim with his knife—he put
his hand in his pocket and took it out |
—it wasn’t very sharp, but he guessed |
he could do something with it,

to treat a feller.
So his thoughts wandered on—but |
his eyes kept on the men. :
They stopped—he stopped.
Coming along was somebody—a see- |
ond seen in the blinding light—the :
next the fizure was in the shadow.
But it was a woman. As she passed
the two men they spoke to her; but
ste made no answer, only walked fast- |
er. :
The men turned and followed her.
This was interesting; Joe on the
other hand turned, too, silently,
Now a shadow was reached again.
The two men caught up with the girl,
one put his hand upon her arni, and
they all stopped.
Joe stopped, too,
“No,” he heard the woman's voice
say, ‘‘you can’t have it,"
“Now look here,” said one of the
men, “we don’t want to hurt you, but
we must have it—we are going to, too,
and you might as well give it np,
peaceably.”
Joe crouched like a cat for a spring,
A passing light was cast on the girl's i
tace. It was Miss Tracy. She was |
trying to free herself from the man’s
grasp—while one hand was buried in
her pocket. There was a struggle, the
girl was pushed roughly to the pave-
ment, her hand wrenched from her
pocket and the roll of paper partially
torn from it, when with a quick move-
ment Joe wound his leg about one ot
the men, sending him to the ground,
at the same time he grabbed the pa.
pers and dug his jacket knife deep in-
to the hand of the man who held them.

“It is needless to add that the ‘De-

Mechanism of a Watch.
A Wonderful Little Machine That Took Hun-
dreds of Years to Perfect.
Open your watch and look at the lj «
tle wheels, springs and screws, each a
indispensable part of the whole wonder-
ful machine. Notice the busy little
balance wheel as it flies to and fro un-
ceasingly day and night, year in and
year out. This wonderful little machine
is the result of hundreds of years of study
and experiment. The watch carried by
the average man is composed of 98
pieces and 1ts manufacture embraces
more than 2,000 distinct and separate
operations.
Some of the smallest screws are so
minute that the unaided eye cannot dis-
tinguish them from steel filings or specks
of dirt. Under a powerful magnifying
glass a perfect screw is revealed. The
slit in the head is 2-1,000 ot an inch
wide. It takes 308.000 of these screws
to weigh a pound, and a pound is worth
$1,685. The hairspring is a strip of the
finest steel, about 9} inches long and
1 100 inch wide and 27-10,000 inch
thick. It is ceiled up in spiral form
and finely tempered.
The process of tempering these springs
| was long held as a secret by the few for-
tunate ones possessing it and even now
| is not generally known. Their manu-
| facture requires great skill and care.
| The strip 18 gauged to 20-1,000 of an
| inch, but no measuring instrament has
: yet been devised capable of fine enough
| guuging to determine beforehand by the
' size cf the strip what the strength of the
| finished spring will be. A 1-20,000 part
of an inch difference in thickness of the
; strip makes a difference in the running
‘of a watch of about six minutes per
| hour.
The value of these springs when fin-
| ished and placed in watches is enormous
in proportion to the material from which
| they are made. A comparison will give
| a good idea of steel made up into hair-
| springs when in watches is worth more
than 12} times the value of the same
. weight 1n gold. Hairspring wire weighs
: less than half a pound.
{ The balance gives five vibrations
i every second, 300 every minute, 18,000
every hour, 432,000 every day, and 157,-
. 680,000 every year. At each vibration
| it rotates about 1} times, which makes
187,100,000 every year. In order that
. dous amount of labor performed by these
| tiny works, let us make a comparison.
Take, for instance, a locomotive with
6 foot driving wheels. Let its wheel
be run until they have given the same
number af revolutions that a watch does
in one year, and they will bave covered
a distance equal to 28 complete circuits
of the earth. All this a watch does
without other attention than winding
once every 24 hours.— Locomotive En-
gineer.

Bill Nye on Education.
“Tutor,” Tucson, Ariz., asks “what
do you regard as the best method of
teaching the alphabet to children 2?”
Very likely my method would hardly
receive your endorsement, but with my
own - children I succeed by using an
alphabet with the name attached, which
I give below. I find that by connecting
the alphabet with certain easy and in-
teresting subjects the child rapidly ac-
quires a knowledge of the letter, and it.
becomes firmly fixed in the mind. I
use the following list of alphabetical
names in the order given below ;
A is for Antediluvian, Anarchistic and
Agamemnon.
| B is for Bucephalus, Burgundy and
| Bulhead.
{ Cis for Cantharides, Confucious and
| Casabianca.
{ D is for Deuteronomy, Delphi and Dis-
hubille.
| E is for Euripides, European and Effers-
vescent,
| F is for Fumigate, Farinaceous and
| Fundamental.
G is for Garulous, Gastric and Gangrene.
H is for Hamestrap, Honeysuckle and
Hoyle.
I is for Idosyncrasy, Idomatic and
Iodine.
J is for jaundice, jamaica and jeu d’es-
prit.
K is for Kandilphia, Kindergarten and
Ku Klux.
L is for Lop-sided, Lazarus and Llano
Estacado.
M is for Meningitis, Mardi Gras and
Mesopotamia.
N is for Narragansett, Neapolitan and
i Nixcomaronse.
0 is for Oleander, Oleaginous and Oleo-
margarine.
P is for Phlepotomy, Phthisic and
Parabola.
Q is for Query, Quasi and Quits.
Ris for Rejuvenate, Regina and Requi-
escat.
Sis for Simultuneous, Sigauche and
Saleratus.
T is for Tubercular, Themistocles and
Thereabouts.
U is for Ultramarine, and Utopian.
V is for Voluminous, Voltaire and Viv-
isection.
W is for Witherspoon, Woodcraft and
Washerwoman.
X is for Xenophon, Xerxes and Xmas.
Y is for Yadle, Yahoo and Yellow-
jacket.
Z 1s for Zoological, Zanzibar and Zaza-
tecas.
In this way the eye of the child is
first appealed to. He becomes familiar
with the words which begin with a cer-
tain letter and before he knows it the
letter itself has impressed itself upon his
memory.
Sometimes, however where my child-
ren were slow to remember a word and
hence its corresponding letter, I have
drawn the object on a blackboard or on
the side of a. barn. For instance, we
will suppose that D is hard to fix in the
mind of the pupil and the words to
which it belongs as an initial do not
readily cling to the memory.
I have,only to draw upon the board a
Deuteronomy, a Delphi, or a Dishabille,
and he will never forget it. No matter
how he may struggle to do so, it will
still continue to haunt his brain forever.
The same with Z, which is a very dif-
ficult letter to remember. I assist the
memory by stimulating the eye, draw-
ing rapidly, and crudely perhaps, a Zo-
ological, a Zanzibar, or a Zacatecar.
The great difficulty in teaching chil-
dren the letters is that there is really noth-
ing in the naked alphabet itself to win a
child’slove. We must dress itin at-
tractive colors and gaudy plumage so
that he will be involuntarily drawn to it.
Those who have used my method say
that after mastering the alphabet; the
binomial theorem and the rule in Shelly’s
case seemed like child’s play. This goes
to show what method and discipline will
accomplish in the mind of the young.—
