TOR THE TODNQ FOLKS. Tha Ortajla f Ike Jamplnar-Jack. Something like twenty years ago, miserable brick house in a back alley was the home of Archibald Ramsey, a Bootoh carpenter. He worked down town in a shop, making oornices, mold ings, mantels, and a variety of the more elaborate parts employed in finishing houses. Every evening he took horn" pocketfnls, and often handfnls also, of bits and ends from the shop. These oddly shaped fragments of soft, sweet-smelling pine furnished amuse ment for poor little Aleo, Mr. Ramsey's hunchback boy ; and when they had served this purpose, they were used as kindlings in the kitchen stove. There was a houseful of little Ram sevs. of whom Aleo was the oldest, and when he was amused, so were the others, thus giving the overworked mother time for other duties. Aleo was sixteen years old, and not taller than an average boy of ten. He was very mroh deformed, and had he lived in an age and country of kings seeking dwarfs and human oddities fc ? oonrt fools " or "jesters," he would have been a prize to same iron-handed tyrant. His shoulders were almost as high as his head, his arms hung out loose and dangling, and the rest of his body was shrunken ana slender to a most pitiable degree. But whoever, with a tender heart, looked into his great. Questioning eves and noted his broad, fuir forehead and his clean, deli' cate hands, would soon forget the sad share in the nobilitv of the faoe. I need not linger to speak of his studies, which, all unaided, he pushed along with success; nor of his constancy in the Sunday souooi, where he was universal favorite. It is about his pla; with the bits of pine from the shop wish to tell you. Manv a droll pile he built on the kitchen floor: many a funny thing he whittled out to amuse the little ones; manv a comical toy he made and gave awav to neighboring children. Often he said, and oftener thought, " What can I whittle that will sell ?" For only money seemed likely to bring him the changed life for which he longed, unce, when he sold for a few pennies a queer little pine trinket, his father stroked his silken pair and said: " Ah. me ptiir bairnio, I dinna ken but ye may mak' your fortoon wi your knife. How that little piece of encourage ment rang in his ears and stimulated him to think and whittle, whittle and think 1 One genial afternoon in May, Alec crept out to enjoy the balmy air, and, by the noise of a crowd of urchins on a vacant lot at a little distance, was drawn in that direction. Here he saw a color ed boy, named Jack, attempting, for the amusement of the party, all sorts of pranks in imitations of circus perform' ers. Bareheaded and clothed in striped red and yellow garments of coarse qual ity, the negro lad almost seemed made of India rubber. Aleo watched his capers in amaze mint. Never before had he seen such antics, or even thought them possible, It was no wonder that the frail, stiff- jointed little hunchback dreamed it all over again, as be did that night. The next morning his whittling genius took shape from this event, and before noon he had produced a rude pine image of the negro head, arms and legs loose' ly hung with bits of broom-wire, and the whole curiously arranged, so that by working a string, it would jump, nod, turn somersaults, and go through quite a series of contortions, with colored pencils, of which he had some cheap speoimens, he blackened its head, neck, hands and feet, reddened its lips, white' ened its eyes, and rudely striped in yel low and red the body, all in imitation of the little negro gymnast. Before it it was completed, his younger brother, who bad been with him the day before, named it "Jumping-Jack." And in the afternoon, when he went to the vacaut lot and exhibited it to the youngsters there, it wa not only universally but boisterously naued by tne same name, When he returned home, he broncmt instead of the Jumping-Jack, a silver half-dollar, for whioh he had sold the the toy to an eager, well-dressed lad of his own age. And not ouly this, but he had orders from the boys for hull dozen more ; to be made as soon as poi- sib e. Oh, what a proud, glad heart beat within that deformed little body of Alec's ! How his temples throbbed I How elastia his step I What flashing eyes I What a skein of wild and hopeful talk he unwound to his mother? So muoh money for his whittling, aud a chance for more aud more I Uastles, Bky-high and star-bright I But I have not told you all. That evening he whittled, and the next day he whittled, and before night had added to his capit al three more shin ing half-dollars. The next day he doubled his money. The demand for jumping -acks increased. Boys came to the door, silver in hand, to get what he had no time to make. His grave Scotch parents began to hold serious counsel over the matter. If Aleo could find such sale for these pine images in that neighborhood, why, the whole city would require thousands; and what would sell elsewhere also. If they eould supply the market, a fortune might readily be made. Scotch blood, once aroused and chal lenged, is sanguino and venturesome. But it would be uninteresting to re peat all the details ; so the rest of my story shall be brief. Alec's Sunday school teacher, who was a lawyer, procured for him a patent on jumping-jacks of every description ; a rioh old uucle of Aleo's mother built him a factory and started him in busi ness ; and, within a year from the after noon when the poor lad wondered at the pranks of the colored boy, jumping- jaoks from the Ramsey factory were selling in great numbers all over America. Truly Aleo did "mak' a fortoon wi' his knife." To school he went ; into a better house, all their own, the family moved ; easier circumstances, better health, less weari ness, and ample means for doing good, came to the Ramseys. But the best point in my story is that a flue asylum and school for hunchbacks, free to the poor, is one of the noble en terprises to which Aleo has been chief contributor. I. L.

Coarse salt sprinkled over the floor occasionally is said to keep the moths out of the carpet. It is a good idea to keep a supply of ironing holders made up; take old cloths, fold as many thicknesses and cover with new piece of heavy cloth, tacking in the center; then you can have a clean holder when neoessary without having to stop and make one. When your dish-towels begin to wear out, fold them together, the bast out side, as small or large ss yon like, and run together around and across through the center with ooarse thread, then when yon require a new dishcloth yon will not take "any old rag."

Value of P.nttrv and Baa. The Town and Country remarks Almost fabulous are the estimates given in various quarters, of the intrin sio value of Amerioan poultry to the people 01 this country. At the same time, a large majority of those who read and consider themselves well post' ed as to details of the natural wealth of this land either conceive this item of poultry to be a very insignificant mat' ter, at the best, or else they know noth ing of it at all. Yet onr farmers, the suburban resi dents of cities, and thousands of men and women all over the United States, are at the present time engaged, in greater or less degree, in the cultivation of and traffic in good fowls, and in the sale of dead poultry and eggs. Millions of dollars are invested in this business in one way or another. And estimates are made by competent au tnoriry in recent years, based upon computation, that the total annual value of poultry in this country and the eggs produced by our yearly aggregate of domestic fowls, reaches an approximate value to that of either cotton, grain or slaughtered beef. As au isolated sample of the large consumption of eggs in one city, we quote from the Boston Herald : " The trafflo in eggs carried on by Boston commission houses, and the immense quantity annually consumed in this State, assumes a' magnitude which, at the first glance, may seem improbable if not impossible. The approximate re ceipts of eggs in this market (or the year 1878, have been as follows : 107,627 cases, containing 49 dozen each, 43,000 cases, containing 100 dozen each, and 17,783 barrels, containing 70 dozen each These figures, give as a result, 168,410 packages, containing 6,513,653 dozen eggs, or 78,187,836 single eggs. It is estimated that fully 95 per cent of all receipts are consumed in Massachusetts, and that about 80 per cent, are oonsum ed in and near Boston. In nearly all small towns and villages enough eggs are raised to supply the local demand. The number of eggs consumed in this State, when computed, is found to be at an average of 5'2 eggs per year to every inhabitant, or ope egg per week. When the immense quantity of eggs used for cooking purposes is considered, the figures appear quite reasonable. Only a small proportion of the receipts; in this market are ' limed or pickled for future salesay 21 per cent. All these egs come to Boston from various sec tionsm about the following proportions Eastern eggs (mostly frc m Maine by boat and ran, at au seasons of the year.) 'ii percent, of total receipts; northern eggs (from northern isew Xork and Canada) 37 per cent.; P. E. I. eggs (from Prince Edward Island, between months of April and November), 17 per cent Western eggs, 19 per cent.; and South era eggs (from Virginia during a few weeks in the spring) 3 per cent. Of the Northern eggs, the greater part comes from uauada, and this trade is constant' ly increasing." A Sad Case. As the overland tram was passing u Doyenne, the attention of the passen gers were attracted by the lamentation of a poor Irish emigrant, whose berth had been robbed during the night, and every penny of his scanty savings stolen aud whose family would therefore ar rive beggars in a strange land. The charitable passengers at once began subscription which finally amounted to something over $250. When the money naa Deen nanuea to tne Batterer, a pious, plausible-looking man, dressed in black and adorned with a white cravat, drew him aside at one of the stopping-places and said: "My poor man, I am truly sorry for you. lour sad fate touches me deeply, I am myself well provided with this world's goods, however, and so will give yon $250 more. Here is a $500 gold note. Qive me the $259 yon have and keep the rest. May Heaven bless yon I The poor Irishman did as requested with many blessings on the generous stranger, who insisted that the gift should not be made known. When the passengers reached this side of the bay the pious-looking philanthropist was no where to be found, he having evidently gotten off at Oakland, for reasons of his own. The next morning the emigrant re paired to a bank to get his note changed, The teller picked np the bill and began narrowly examining it. " There there is nothing wrong with the bill, is there 7 ' gasped the poor fellow. Now, the olever reader has seen all along what was going to happen. He has read lots of just such incidents as this.

Acute Rheumatism. This is sometimes called rheumatic fever. Its medical term is polyarthritis. It is mainly a disease of the temperate regions, and prevails mostly from Oc tober to May.
