THE CHILD SPY.
Hi* name was Stgpuc. little Stenne
He was a " child of i'aris." thin and
pale, and was ten. perhaps liftiin y.ar

A siege! Nothing is more amusing
for such urchins. No more -olio--.. :

The child ran about all dav till night
fivll. He followed the battalions ot the
quart- r t<> the ramparts, chousing tin -
that hal a good band. Little Stenn
was well postol n that sub,:--ct. If
woui-i tell \ou very glibly that th
Nitf y-sixth band was not worth much,
but the Fifty-fifth had an excellent one.
'Vomctinn- he would watch the rnobik

iriUf nc • • • With his tmskct un
der his arm he would join the long tin
that were lomied in the dark cold win: r
mornings, when there was no ga-. lu--
fore the butchers' and bakers' shops.
There, with tiieir feet in the wet.
the people would make acquaint
ances and talk politics, and. as he wa
ll r. St- nne's son. everybody would :n
--him his opinion. But the most amusing
of all were the afternoon games >p* - ; -
ally the famous game of galoi he. which
the Breton mobiles made the fashion
during the siege. Vt hen iitt stenn
was not at the ramparts or baki r's diop
you would be sun* to find him at the
square of the Chateau d Eau. He did
not play, however; it needed tiMi mut h
money: he was -ativfied in watching th
players with all his eyes.

workman's blouse, who only pLnyeii

One day as he was picking up a jfi-

low tone: "That makes you wink,
hey? Well, if you wi-h. I'll teli you
where they're to be found."
The game over, he took him to a
comer of the square and propo-ed that
he should join him in selling newspap<-r
--to the Prussians —that he wouid niak
thirty francs for every trip. At first
Stenne wa- very indignant and refu- o.
and what was more, he remained away
from the game for three days—three ter

deserted road, "Go quickly, said lie t<>

Confusedly, as though in a dream, lit

melting before dying fires. The large
fellow knew the way, and would take
short cuts over the fields in order to es

came upon a large body of sharpshooters
too late to escape them. They were in
their little cabins, liiddpn in a ditch half
full o r water, and encamped along the
Soisso. s railway. This time, though
the large fellow' recommenced his tear
ful story, they would not let him pass.
As he was lamenting, an old sergeant,
white and wrinkh i. and who looked
like old Father Sb ne, came out of the
post guard's cabin
"Well, little < ies. don't cry any

Whilst he was eating, the old soldier
looked at his gun hung on the wall and
he said to the loy. with a hearty laugh:
"Hey! my son, how you would go after
the Prussians, if you were old enough!"
About eight o'clock tliey heard the
sound of a cannon. "Itis at Aulx-rvil
liers; they are fighting at Bourget!" said
the old man. who knew where all the
forts were situated. Little Stenne grew
pale, and, feigning great fatigue, went to
bed, hut not to sleep. The cannons were
thundering continuously. He pictured
to himself the sharpshooters going at
night to surprise the Prussians, ami fall

, What the Kjrcs See in Reading.
M. Javcl lias lately published oh-erva
tions on the mode in which the eye
"takes in"' the -ueeessive letters
on a printed page. We :ir,- no! to sup
pose, tie says, that in reading a Sine one
passes successively from the lower part
of a letfi-r to the tipper part, tln n down
the next letter, up the next, and so on,
the vision describing a wavy line. The
fixation takes place with extreme pre
cision along a straight lin". traversing
the junction of the upper third of the
letter with the lower two-third- Why
is this line not in th niidd.e? Because
eharaeteristic parts of the 1, -tiers are
more frequently above than ln-low. in
the proportion of nlsiut secnty-five per
cent. That this i-no. we can see by aj>-
piying on a line of tyjiographie charac
ters a slp et of pajw-r covering the Hue in
its lower two-thirds, and leaving tip
upper third exposed. We can then read
the letters almost as weil as it they had
not been concealed in greater jeirt. But
the ease is n ry different if we ,-over the
tipper two-thirds of the line; th" lowest
third alone does not furnish sufficient for
rcaignition. The eharactepstic part of
the letters, then, is chiefly in their up
jn-r portion. M .lavel n- xt eompan -
the ancient typographic character- with
tlios,' of modern books, and maintains
tliat the latter have too much uniftirm
ity. so that, taken in their upper part
alone, many o! them may I*- confounded
in reading. The oil letters, on the
other hand, had each a particular sign
by which they could Is- easily dis

Elzevirs the n, for example, had no re
semblance to o. the r collid not 1M- eon

typographic characters should 1M- cor

A I'igmy Fainter.
In a recent exhibition of old and cu
rious paintings in Holland was a por
trait of Oliver Cromwell. It was by no
- means a masterpiece of art, (wing a
somewhat feeble imitation in style of
Sir l'eter b lv. the court painter of
• Charles Lof England. Hut it was a real
curiosity in its wav.
1 Its painter was Richard (libson. other
wise known as the "dwarf artist."
(libson was three feet two inch*s high.
He was born in 1015. While serving as
I a page for a lady at Mort.lake, sli<- no
ticed his talent tor drawing, and caused
" liim to be instructed by I)e K'-eyn. the
superintendent of the famous Mortlake
• tapestry works. The little artiiu tieeamo
- very skillful as a copier of Sir Peter
I Is-ly's pictures, and attracted the atten
■ lion of Queen Henrietta Maria. She
made him her husband's page, and tnar
< ried him to a dwarf young lady ot ex
• aetly his own le-ight. who waited on
1 her. The wedding of the dainty little
t pair was honored bv the presence of the
- king and queen, and Edmund Waller,
' the poet, commemorated it by a poem,
t ' When Charles lost bis scepter and his
• head, and passed with bis queen out ot
i I English lines, his little protege lived and
t ■ throve. He had painted the king's por
, | trait, and now was called upon to limn
f that of the protector. Cromwell re-
I garded him with particular and kindly
r favor. On the restoration he agaiii
i changed coats, and entered the service of
1 Charles 11. He was drawing master to
s the Princesses Mary and Anne. But the
i- wild court of the son ofdiis old master
1 | did not suit the tastes of the pigmy
1 ; painter, now grown old. He retired to
private life, and died in lfifiO. His wife,
1 after giving birth to nine children, all of

the ' bus. .and .Ntr. Leonard followed.
" Where nri' you going, Mr. Leon

" I don't know. Mrs. Davis. Isn't it
strange we should both go hy the early

Mrs. Davis did think it strange. She
said she thought -he would take a trip

"Well, noxv. tli it's odd; lin going to

Mrs. Davis went all the way to Pue

A Romantic Marriage.
A gentleman doing buaincasat Button,
California, waa married recently at tin*
Oiiusbfc House, in Carson, to a hsnd-
Mtme and i harming young lady from
Boston. This alone would naturally
be considered a ii commonplace alitor

I lie marriage referretl u herein, how
ever, turns out to I** a very happy one.
to which some real romance i allttelusl.
A prominent government official who
ix-ci ntiy visited this elly was on the
train with the young lady, and from
him the following is gleaned She was
very attractive, pemw-ssing a tutul
of refilled humor and Lo-tfiliating eoll
veisational faculties; everything de.
' noted her to I"' all admirable young
tuly. She slated that she eaine from
Boston, and had no hesitancy about in
forming those who akxi respecting her
destination, that sheexpeeted to meet a
gentleman friend at Wad-worth, with
whom /die would proceed to Carson,
lb-r manners were so captivating tlrst
everylmdy on the train paid her great
:*! tetition; but <ne thing seemed to
puzzle her fellow |i:issetig*t>. and that
was a large bright red fa>t<-ne<i Pi
tjie left side ot her bat. which was so
far from harmonizing with the n*-
mainder of her modest and tasteful at
tire. When the train reached Wais
worth a gititieman boarded it. He *
neatly attin-d. with om exception, ami
that wiu> a iLutiitig nd silk Imndker
, chief enveloping his m-ck Tin* young
lady from Ikatun ixrdially greeted the
gentleman, as if they hail been life-long
friends. The odd ooin< id-nt features
in the attire of both the lady and gen
deman M-t the |iasawrs on the train to
• •oitjeeturing as to what they signilh-d,
and one gentleman who hail bn-n
; specially kind and attentive to the
young laily was taken into her confi
dence. to whom she revealed the tact
that the gentleman with the ri-i handker
chief wax 111 he her hu-Umd. Neither
the lady or gentleman had ever met
1 le-fore, in fait, lint not even exchanged
pictures, but corresponded with each
other for a long while, untii their ap
parent intellectual aitaininent- liad
i irtiied a IMIIUI of affex-tion (which re

lated that the gentleman should meet

The lairk or Home Training.
it The convict,Barrett.who was shot dead
o in Smg Sing prison, is described by bis
s j father as a 'high strung" youth. It
appear* that he bad lecn a iKirkeeper,
h bad fallen in with dissolute companions.
:i and was arrested and plead guilty to a
■s charge which was support's! mainly by
I, the fact that he was wearing a stolen
I. shirt. His father now says that the
s young man 11:w! lioiTowcd tins shirt from
c one of hi* worthless friends, and tlmt it
-. was upon bis own advice, in oilier to
i- secure a short sentcni-e, tliat his son
is formally admitted that lie was guilty.
II riie boy's high temper and unregulated
o disposition finally led to bis death. It
d seems a hard thing to say. but the
d chances are that young Barrett would
. have Ix-en a curse to the community as
i- long as he lived. He appears to have
n bad no home training; lie had neither
n learned a trade nor adopted any useful
•i occupation; lie had lieoonic intimate
d with evil associates: lie was like an un
p trained colt, and although be may not
a have become absolutely vicious, yet his
-r unregulated natureand physical strength
•- made his acts as dangerous as they
r. would have been if they had sprung
y from deliberate malevolence. - It is
i, | obvious that all the evil which befell
ie liim later in life came from the idlen*ss
i, and lack of training of his younger
-s years. Many other IMVS are growing up
y ! in this and our other large cities in pre
g ; cisely the same circumstances. It is
li fronj this class that our criminals mainly
n come. If these boys could be set _to
i- work at learning a trade or at farming
rs tbey might be saved; hut without some
y thorough and habitual discipline of this
- : kind tliey are pretty sure to come to
seme bad end.— New York Evening Pott.

The Whistling Tree.
In the vegetable world there are many

curious i- a species of acacia, which is
found in Nubia, where groves of the
trees may be seen over 1(H) square miles
in extent. The Aralis call it the sctffar
('. r.. flute or pipe), in allusion to a pe

Tlie practice of " weighting" silk* haa
I legun to excite serious at tenlion. Some
idea of the extent to which qjlk adultera

cent statement* by Justus Wolff, lie
says the public is made to pay the ful
price for a material containing only one
third of siik and two-thirda of sub
stances which are not only of little
value in themselves, but injurious to the
small quantity of genuine silk. "I
know F.ngiiah manufacturers who send
their silks to France to be dyed black
and then returned for working up. be
cause in France they are abb* to increase
the weight of silk while dyeing it black
much mow thsn they can do in Kng
land. The result of such practice is a
Iwautiftil black silk fabric, changing into

A balloon with Taddle Wheels.
T ion* is a balloon man up in Cannda
ram *d Cowan. His principal obiect in
j fe is to steer s balloon and make the
air navigable like water. He hasn't got
quite to (hat point yet, but he lias made
a step or two toward it. His balloon ia
called the Canada. It i* fitted with tafo
paddle-wheels, which are worked by a
rr.uik and which can be turned in any
direction. There is also a sort of helm.
Tlie balloon made an ascension in June,
hut a storm nearly wrecked it. A second
trial was made at St. Hyacinthc. and. as
to the suf cess of the enterprise, accounts
differ somewhat. The puddles work
something iike oars. and. after a stroke
has been made, featlnrand offer no re
sistance. When the crank was set in
motion it was found that the network
interfered, and the cords wen* broken in
spots, consequently a fair trial could not
be given the paddies. When the wind
blows strong it is not claimed that the
machine*** will amount to much, but
several times during the trip the balloon
was made to ascend and descend by
m an* of the crank for a few hundred
leet. The speed wa* also considerably
accelerated whe*n going witli the wind.
The aeronaut* at one time undertook to
i lia* ge the direction of the balloon by
means of the rudder—" tacking" they
call it. They inanagetl to." tack " for a
couple of mile's, then the helm swung tlie
great gas hag around and it forged ahead,
rudder first. The balloon men. how
ever. claim that they have achieved a
triumph, and expect in time to run the
machine with a e*onslderable degree of
success. Some improvements will now
he made and another trial had in a short
time.— PhtituUiphia Times.
Do Monkeys Swim!
A correspondent of latul and Water,
in reply to a question whether monkeys
swim, says: I was always under the
impression that they did not like wetting
their fur or hair, but at Sangur, Central
India, when I was stationed there I had
a little monkey that was exceedingly
fond of swimming and diving. One day
on taking him to the pond at the bottom
of my compound, lie jumped off my
shoulder and dived (like a man) into the
water, which was three or four feet
deep; he had hiß chain on at the time
and when he dived in the chain caught
iu some grass or root at the bottom and
kept tlie monkey down; he was just able
to come to the top of the water. Feeling
his chain had caught, tie dived down,
undid the chain, and continued his
swim with the chain in his hand. He
swam just iike a man as far as I could
oee from the motion of his arms.
Several of my brother officerß came to
see him swimming, of which he was
very iond, swimming very quietly, and
cunningly trying to catch the frogs that
lay floating on tne top of the water.
