The Battered Hobbyhorse.
A scarred and battered hobbyhorse,
with one eye missing, its tale and mane
reduced to ragged wisps of hair and a
little leather saddle worn almost to
fragments on its back, formed a part
of the baggage carried by an aged cou-
ple in the Union station waiting room
at St. Louis the other evening. Tt cap-
tured the interest of a crowd that gath-
ered. The old man listened to the com-
ments, some of them unkind jests.
Then he spoke, almost in a tone of
apology. “We're goin’ to Texas, and we
couldn't leave it behind,” he explained.
“You see, it belonged to our little boy
that's dead. He used to set a might 0’
store by that old horse, and now it's all
we've got to remember him by, We
kept it all these years back in Indiana,
and then when things got bad and our
daughter down in Texas sent for us,
why, we just packed up and started.
Had to leave lots of things back there,
but not that. We couldn't leave that,
could we? He turned to his wife.
“No; we couldn't leave the horse,” she
said.—St. Louis Globe-Degocrat. .

Buying Clothes.
“I suppose everybody has some plan
of making purchases,” said a man hold-
ing a list of wearing apparel that he
was about to buy. “Do you see those
two articles I have crossed off? I am
not going to buy them till the end of
the season, when the price will be cut.
For the same reason I am not going to
lose a day in securing the articles not
crossed off. The two articles I eut out
I can wait for without much inconven-
fence. As for the others, since I have
to buy them in season and pay the
regular price, I will buy them at once
and have at least a month and a half’s
extra use of them. That makes me
break even with the end of the season.
I save by purchasing early and late,
though the early purchases I deem
most economical, particularly in things
where style is a consideration.”—Co-
lumbus Dispatch,
The Seat of Authority.
It is an unwritten law on shipboard,
and especially on men-of-war, that the
quarter deck is for the exclusive use of
officers, and all good seamen remems-
ber it, in spite of their ambitions. It
once happened that an ancient mar-
iner, a “five striper,” while on shore
leave captured a mule. Not without
difficulty he mounted the animal and
perched himself as near the tail as pos-
sible. The mule objected in every way
known to a mule and in ways several
and unexpecied.
“Jack, sit more amidships,” called
out an engineer officer who happened
past; “you'll ride easier.”
“Captain,” grinned the old salt, “this
is the first craft I ever commanded,
and it's a pity if T can't stay on the
quarter deck.”
Stanton Could Swear.
One day President Lincoln saw Sen-
ator Fessenden coming toward his of-
fice room. Mr. Fessenden had received
the promise of some appointment in
Maine for one of his constituents. The
case had been overlooked. As soon as
Mr. Lincoln caught sight of the sena-
tor he saw Fessenden was angry and
called out, “Say, Fessenden, aren't you
an Episcopalian?’ Mr, Fessenden,
somewhat taken aback, answered,
“Yes, I belong to that persuasion, Mr.
President,” Mr. Lincoln then said: “1
thought so. You swear so much like
Seward. Seward is an Episcopalian
But you ought to hear Stanton swear.
He can beat you both. He is a Presby-
terian.”
An Odd Mistake,
Captain Amundsen, having lost sev-
eral dogs in his expedition to the arec-
tic regions, told some of the Netchillie
tribe that he would purchase one from
them. The suggestion caused conster-
nation and was promptly refused. An
explanation was demanded. The man
applied to returned next day with a
chubby, laughing boy on his back.
“Such we do not sell,” he said. Amund-
sen was astonished. “You wished to
purchase one,” said the man, seeing
Amundsen’s perplexity. Finally it was
discovered that the Greenlandic term
for “dog” was equivalent to “child” in
the Netchillie language.
His Last Chance.
“Did you ever notice,” said Mrs. N.
Peck, “that about half the pictures in
the photographers’ windows are of
bridal covples? 1 wonder why they
always rush off to the photographer
as soon as the knot is tied.”
“lI guess the husband is responsible
for it,” said Mr. Peck. “He realizes
that it is about his last chance to ever
look pleasant.”
A Word For Herself.
The young widow of an old husband
inscribed the following words upon
her dear departed’s tomb:
“To the memory of Mathurin Bezu-
quet, who left this vale of tears at the
r.ge of ninety-nine years, eleven months
and twenty days, deeply grieved at
having to leave behind him the most
charming and faithful of wives. "—
Pele Mele.
Professional Ethics.
The acquitted woman (young and
pretty) kissed her lawyer.
“Madam,” said he, with an attempt
at firmness, “my stipulation was that
there should be no fee in this case.
You must permit me to return it.”—
Philadelphia Ledger.
Three Sick Men.
It is a curious fact that three of the
men who did most to revolutionize the
world had always bad health. These
were St, Paul, Julius Caesar and Ma-
rat, the real originator of the French
revolution.
O Fortune, what a jade you are to
distribute your favors at haphazard as
you do!—Le Sage.
Properties of Gold.
Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos-
phere either at ordinary temperatures
or when the meta] is heated. It is also
proof against the action of common
acids when used singly. Moreover, it
confers its properties more or less upon
copper and silver when these metals
are alloyed with it. Thus, for example,
twelve karat gold will withstand the
action of nitric acid and the atmos-
phere at ordinary temperature, but
some of the copper will be oxidized
during annealing. Nine parts of gold
may be alloyed with ten parts of plat-
inum in an ordinary crucible and fire,
but such an alloy will not be uniform.
A larger proportion of platinum will
‘free itself from the gold on solidifica-
tion, and a homogeneous alloy of the
two metals cannot be obtained.—Jewel-
ers’ Circular-Weekly.
Before the Bar.
The terms “admitted to the bar” and
“before the bar” are of English origin,
The “bar” in question is the barrier
or railing which separates the judge
and the other officers of the court from
the rest of the courtroom. In earlier
days the parties to a suit presented
themselves before this bar, accompa-
nied by their counsel. A lawyer, after
keeping the required number of terms
at the inns of court and passing a sat-
isfactory examination, was then en-
titled to appear before the bar on be-
half of a client, or, in other words, he
was “admitted to the bar,” The Eng-
lish word “barrister” suggests the tech-
nical meaning of this wordk—Scrap
Book.
Snake Worship.
Python worship or the worship of
snake gods is still practiced in parts
of the west coast of Africa. In Da.
homey and Ashanti there are temples
where pythons are kept to receive the
adoration of the people. The snakes
are not confined to the precinets of the
temples. Small holes are left in the
inclosing wall, through which they
pass and sometimes make themselves
very much at home in the houses of
the people. When a stray snake is
found word is sent to the temple, the
priests come and with many apologies
to his snakeship pick him up and car-
ry him back home,
Cold Blooded Animals.
The so called cold blooded animals
vary from the warm blooded in the
particular that their blood changes
temperature in accordance with their
surroundings. The temperature of a
fish will be almost exactly the same as
that of the water around it, possibly
one or two degrees higher, A snake's
temperature is higher in summer than
in winter, the average being 82 de-
grees. A bird's average temperature is
107. The average temperature of the
mammals is 101 degrees,

Lost and Won at Shiloh.
Many an amusing incident of army
life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi-
ography. For example, he writes thus
of a tented “paradise” which was lost
and won at the battle of Shiloh: “With-
in our lines there was a drinking tent
on which was written ‘Paradise.’ It
was taken by the Confederates in the
first day's fight, and the victors wrote
beneath its name ‘Lost’ By Beaure-
gard's order all camp furniture was
left intact, as he expected to possess
the whole field in the morrow's strug-
gle. The Union army recovered their
ground by the second day's battle, the
pleasure tent was retaken and to the
two names was added the word ‘Re-
gained.’ ”
The Violin's Scroll,
The “throwing” of the sercll, or head,
of a violin betrays the master's style
the same as handwriting. To an ama-
teur all violin heads may appear the
same, but the connoisseur knows a
“Strad,” Amati or Guarnerius at once
from the physiognomy of the scroll.
This has been likened to the painter's
touch—that is, difficult to imitate so as
to deceive one who is thoroughly con-
versant with the individual work of
the great masters.—Circle.

tor Oil, Paregorie, Drops and Soothing
Syrups. It is Pleasant, It contains neith-
er Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic
substance,
There's a story of a despondent Sultan of
Torkey whose seers told him he could be
cared if he would wear the shirt of a per-
fectly happy man. His envoys searched
the world for the man, and found
him at last in Ire . But when seized
on him to get his shirt, he was shirtless.
His happiness was caused by perfect health.
All bappiness has its basis in health. Peo-
ple who “‘feel blue,’”’ who are discouraged
and despondent will find their spirits rise
and their courage come back with the use
of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
It removes the clogging impurities from the
blood, strengthens the stomach and cares
diseases of the orgaus of digestion and nu-
trition so that the body becomes healthy
through an increased supply of pure blood
and perfect nourishment.
