Councilman John Mc Waters and Mr.
Charley Jones had perhaps the rarest ex
perience of any of the gentlemen who
were engaged ia the work of distributing
help to the poor. Sunday afternoon
these two gentlemen had charge of a
wagon together, and msny loads of pro
visions and clothir-g did they deliver to
deserving poor. The name of John
Jones of 56 McDonnell street was given
them, and thev started for the place. They
tad some difficulty in finding the num
ber designated and inquired of some one
near by where they could find 5&,
"It's rite down di re," said a youth,
pointing toward the place, "an if you fel
lers will hurry up youTl see a weddin,
'cause John Jones U gettin tied up ter
day." They stopped in front of M, and John
Jones, a white man who follows the oc
rupation of carpenter, came out. He
iras not richly dressed, but he was net
a the extreme ragged edge by any
means.
"What about getting married, JohnT
kf ked Mr. Jones.
Tve been a-thinkin about it," replied
Mr. John Jones, "an Tm mighty glad to
see you people come, 'canse I need help."
Mr. McWaters and Mr. Jones deliv
ered a liberal allowance of provisions to
the groom, and after they had done so he
said:
"Gentlemen, if you had been here
about 10 minutes sooner you could have
been st the weddin. I got married be
fore you drove up."

The schema for cutting a canal across
the isthmus of Corinth has had its peri
ods of trouble and depression, like other
and greater enterprises of the same char
acter, but it appears to bo now rapidly
approaching completion. The concession
was originally granted by the Greek
government ia May, 18S1, to General
Turr, with whom was associated M. de
Less ps.
After the original capital had been ab
sorbed and the operations for some time
suspended, the operations were taken up
by a new company, who in l'.O entered
into a contract with a firm who under
took to complete the works on March 10,
liti3, under a penalty of i,000 per month
for any delay after that date, but unfor
tunately about this time lat year a wa
terspout passed over the works, flooding
the excavations.
The disaster necessitated a slight ex
tension of the term, but the contractors
now promise that a large steamer will
go through the canal on the 23d of April
next. Great efforts are being made to
render the system of lighthouses ade
quate. The Corinth canal, which w-ill
have cost from first to last 2,7.'VO000,
will be lit by electricity, with two pow
erful lights at each end and a row of
lights through its entire length. London

An invention, which would be a for
tune to the inventor and manufacturer,
is a pc tablo piano that is, a keyboard
of six octaves, inclosed in a plain case
41 inches long, IS inches broad and 8
inches deep; each note to be very faint,
but pure, distinct and as correct ia tone
as the bot pianoforte manufactured;
jtart of the top of the case to open and
ohow the keyboard, with a small folded
easel for the mur-ic to rest upon, the
other jiart of the top to open to allow of
the instrument being tuned.
5?uch an article would be invaluable,
as it could lie placed on a writing table
or dressing table in a bedroom, and the
tone being faint its use could not annoy
other people when the amateur ws 3 prac
ticing. It could bo carried about in a
leather ca--e as ordinary luggage, and
when not ia use could stand in a corner
of a sitting or bedroom. The price
should bo moderate, as snch an instru

Our Leaaeuing Trade With Spain.
An old export house with European
cotinections, doing a Largo business in
Great Britain and cu the continent, has
called our attention to the large falling
off in trado between the United States
and Spain. About a year ago the Swin

demanding tliat a certificate of origin
sliould accon:iany nil goods entering
that country, which practically ki6 re
sulted ia discriminations against goods
from the United States. Heretofore
orders taken by European travelers for
German or other Louses could be exe

were rtbilled by German merchants, for
instance, was sufficient to enable them

WOMEN GET OFF CARS BACKWARD.
Thry An I aally Thinkls; ut Walking
Bark Over Uim Rente
After the woman had rolled over two
or three times in the dust and made a
voluminous display of lingerie, she strug
gled to her feet. Her face was very red,
her back hair was terribly mussed and
her draperies in most inartistic disorder,
fche scornfully refused to give her name
to the conductor, who rushed to her as
sistance, and would not say whether she
was hurt. As she turned to walk away
the conductor whistled "go ahead," and
f mi Its began to show among the passen
gers. "She's like all the rest of 'em," was the
contemptuous comment of the couductor
as Le jumped on the car.
"I never knew a conductor who
topped his train at the right place,"
sneered a fat woman who overheard the
conductor's remark. "It's the greatest
wonder in the world that more people
are not killed by the carelessness of them
conductors. They haven't a bit of ac
commodation in their souls."
"Did you hear tliat woman?" inquired
another passenger. "She blames the
conductor for that woman's tumble and
will in oil probability alight from the
car backward when she reaches her
destination. I have been a close ob
server of this perverse habit of women
who ride on the 6trect cars, and believe
that I have solved the problem.
"Why do they turn their faces -the
wrong way? I saw a theory advanced
the other day in a newspaper that left
handed women were never seen to take
a tumble because their stronger arm
aided them to retain their balance when
alighting. But it really makes no differ
ence whether a woman is left or right
handed. She gets on a car and tells the
conductor to let her off at Twenty-first
street. She has been down town shop
ping and is in a hurry to reach home.
"All the time the cable is pulling her
homeward she keeps thinking of how
much she will have to do when her jour
ney is ended. The conductor yells
'Twenty-first streetf
"She is aroused with a start from her
studv, intent only on getting off the car.
You have noticed, no doubt, that a cable
train always passes a crossing before it
steps. There is the whole secret of a
woman's many tumbles. She would be
safe and happy if the conductor would
only stop the train so she could step off
at the right spot exactly. But the car
pa-sses tiie crqsning, and unconsciously
she turns her face in the direction she
wishes to go. If she would wait until
the car stops all would be well, but the
thought that she is being carried post her
destination makes her hurry. Before the
car stops, she thinks of the few extra
steps she will have to take if she is
carried anv farther and jumps off.
You know the rest, and there is the true
reason why 89 women in 100 get off
street car backward. The 100th woman
is on the rear seat of the last car and
steps off at the right place," Chicago
Herald.
A Valuable Team
The man from Saginaw was visiting
the national capital to see the sights.
One day, on Pennsylvania avenue, he
saw a heavy, close, dark wagon, more
like a black maria than anything else.
and asked his guide what it was.
"It's rather strange about that," said
the guide in the slowly didactic style.
"You've been talking about the salaries
of ofiicials here, from the president'
l.-0,GtX) a year down, but do yon know
the horses to that wagon beat them all!"
"That soi" said the Saginawster.
"They don't look like they could earn
more tlian f j a day anyhow. I've got
better horses than that to hire at (5 a
dav and feed."
The guide looked at his charge with
pity.
"Why, my dear sir," he explained.
"those horses draw millions from the
treasury every year."
The Saginaw man wouldn't have it
and said so with profane empliasis.
"But it is true nevertheless," inskted
the guide. "That's the wagon they haul
the gold and silver in. and the Sagi-

fiiclling- Cornea hj Nature.
In confirmation of the saying that
"spelling comes by nature" the case may
be cited of a certain little girl, 6 years
old, whose parents are both good spell
crs. At school recently she was given
to write but a list of 78 words, which
contained many rather hard ones, such
as "hatchet," "receive," "neighbor" and
so on. She spelled every word correctly
snd was the only scholar in tho school
who did so.
Xow and tken it happens, however,
tliat the child of a famous rpcller breaks
its parent's heart by proving an incor
rigibly bad speller, in such a case the
lisapxjinted parent may console himself
with the reflection that the child inherits
:iis bad spelling from a grandparent, or
;ven from some more remote ancestor.

making one of that number; the refusal
to start a journey or undertaking on
Friday; all sorts of ghosts uid spectral
warnings, with second sight, etc., have
my supreme contempt, I Lave known
men to shudder upon seeing two mag
pies at the same time; a friend of mine
left my table not long ago because one
of my children spilled some salt while
moving his plate; one of the firm in our
house would rather suffer fine and im
prisonment than to put on his left shoe
first when he gets up in the morning.
And in mcst respects these people are all

"Stop! Don't walk in front of me;
there's a pin on the floor right therewith
its head toward me. Yon sav what of

On Chance Left.
A decade had elapsed.
In that period vast changes had been
wrought, women wens admitted to all
fields of human endeavor and tho avoca
tions formerly considered to belong to
the sterner sex exclusively were open to

In a quiet resort, somewhat removed
from the busiest thoroughfare, one inn
chanced to ask another for a chew of to
bacco. Thence the conversation turned
by easy stages upon the evils of the day.
"Bill"
The man with a look of settled despair
in his dark brown eyes was subdued in
his address.
'-it's getting so a fellow without a
wife has jus; about got to starve."
"Yes."
"It's a shame the way tho women have
crowded us out of business.
"True."
Beth remained in silent meditation for
a moment.
"But then"
The look of settled despair was some
what less pronounced for a moment.
"we should be grateful that Prov
idence has left us pre-cniinent in one call

with us in dressmaking.
It was a comforting thought, to be
sure. Detroit Tribune.
Among the Boaea,
Bags full of roses, baskets heavy with
roses, carts laden with rose-s; roses, roses,
a feast of roses, a surfeit of rosea, if that
is possible. The women stick roses in
their long, braided hair, the men in their
belts, the children pull then and play
with them and leave them on the road to
die.
There is rose-leaf jam to cat very
fresh and sweet it is and there is rose
leaf sirup to diink. Every vase and ves
sel is full of roses; they drop e.n you
from unexpected places; great bunches
of bright pink beads lying ou the ground
admonish yon as you walk; yon can
make a bed of them if you will; go to the
granary rosary, I supiose it should be
called and there you will find r.s soft
and sweet a couch as was ever laid in
the "Arabian Xights" for eastern princes
to dream upon.
This is how it came about that I saw
such a multiplicity of roses. We ful
filled a long cherished scheme and went
to Kezanlik, the Valley of Roses, in the
Balkans, once the faniouse rose garden
of Turkey. Blackwood's Magazine.
The Iboa on the Niger.
Ivory anklets, often very heavy, are
only worn by the Ibo women of wealth
and importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may 1 many pounds ia
weight, and some ef tiietn wear Lug-3
brass plates, perhaps a foot in diameter,
which, once fixed to the ankles, arc never
removed. The men wear a single strip
of cotton cloth, but those who coin.1
much in contact with the Europeans are
now learning to wear trousers. Their
weapons are flintlocks, bows and spears
the latter both for hurling and thrust
ing.
The huts are built of mud and mat
ting and are quadrangular in shape. The
center is an open courtyard, at one end
of which is the apartment of the Lead of
the house, while the wives and family
are accommodated in other rooms on the
right and left of the courtyard. There
is no furniture or ornament, and but a
few household utensils and weaiious.

"When I used to travel about the
country lecturing," said a retired tem
perance talker. "I carried with me as a
frightful example a man with a brilliant
red nose, and during my remarks I would
call upon him for testimony. On one
occasion we struck a small town where
we had an audience of about a hundred
lople. I was making fine headway with
my lecture, and at the proper time I
glanced over the crowd and said, "Will
the gentleman with the re-d nose please
rise to his feet?" Of course my man got up,
but liefore he could do so thirty-seven
men had risen slowly to their feet, and I
don't think I was e ver more embarrassed
in my bfe." Toledo ELide.
Stan Terras Flea.
A flea can jump straight upward and
vault over a barrier 5o0 times its own
height. If a man conld dkplav as much
agility he conld clear a wall a mile high
et a single bound. If he could jump as
far forward according to his weight as a
flea can he could make 2 trips around
tho world at one leap. St. Louis Repub

"Eow do von 1 renounce the name of
the island kingdeni whie-h wants to be
annexed to the United States!-" is a ques
tion frequently projioundod r.nd various
ly answered nowa.lavs. The most com
monly accepted pronunciation, and the
one authorized by Lip; incott's, Worces
ter's, Wel-ste-r's a:: 1 the Century dic
tionaries, is, for the n-;..e of the princi
pal island or the group, "Hah-wi-e," the
second syllable accentr-d. and the -."
pronounced as in "pine." The same ques
tion was once aiiked e.r a high caste Ha
waiian lady, well educated in her own
and tho English laugu.-.go. She answered:
"The proper pronunciation is Hah-
vah-e-e. There is co 'w' in our alpha
bet, and no letter nor combination of
letters which take the sound of w" aa
in English. The missionaries who first
translated our language found it difS-
cult to pronounce or express the sound
which is, to my tar. correctly conveyed
by the letter v.' softened end made full.
Our 'a' is pronounced broad, as you pro
nounce it in 'fail, and cur i" is like the
English 'e.' The rule is to pronounce
every vowel, r.nd as the exception to tho
rule does not affect the double i' in Ha
waii, you will see that the word is 'Hah-vah-e-e.'
"
The insistence upon tho "v" instead of
the "w" sound is considered, even bv somo
of the well educated and all of the uned
ucated, as something of an affectation.
and one hears "Hah-vah-e-e" on the
islands, instead of "Hah-wah-e," about
as often as "valine" instead of "vase" in
American society. Xew York Sun.
