Tlie tVurnry two papers entitled "Trib-1
nlatinns of a Cli-rful Giver." pvuiR
his cKiTieuces with the begjriug frattT
Eirr. Tlie following is takeu from the
first ja-r:
Soiimj months as I was passing
thrush a down tou stmt on uiy way
to the elevated station, I saw a man
eittiiiR on the stops of a house. He
aoonit-d to be renting his elbows on his
knows and holding out both his hands.
As I came nearer I perceived that he
had no hands, but only stumps, whore
the fingers had been cut off close to the
palms, and that it was these stumps ho
was holding out in the mute appeal
which was his form of bogging. Other
wise he did not atk charity. When I ap
proached him he did not look up, and
when I stopped iu front of him he did
not sitoalc. I thought this ratlier fine in
its way; except for his mutilation,
which the man really could not help,
there was nothing to offend the taste,
and hi9 immobile 6ilcBce was certainly
impressive.
I decided at once to give him some
thing, for when I am in tlie presence of
want or even the appearance of want,
there is something that says to me,
"Give to him that asketh," and I have
to irive or eh go away with a bad con
science a thing I hate. Of course I do
not give much, fir I wish to a good
citizen as well as a good Christian, and
as soon as I oliey that voice whic h I cau
not disol-ey I hoar another voice re
proaching me for encouraging street
beggary. I have boon taught tliat street
beggary is wrong, and when I have to
tinbutton two coats and go through three
or four pockets lief ore I can reach the
small coin I mean to give in compli
ance with that imperative voice, I cer
tainly feel it to 1 wrong. Si I o'nipro
luise, and I am never able to make sure
that either of those voices is satisfied
with me. I am cot even Kitisfiod with
myself, but I am better satisfied than if
I gave nothing. That was the selfish
reason I now had for deciding to yield
to my lietter nature and to obey the
voice which bade me "Give to him that
r.tkoth," for, as I said, I bate a bad con-b.-ieuee,
and of two bad consciences I
ulways choose the least, which, in a
case like this, is the one tliat incensed
political economy gives me.
I put my hand into my hip pocket,
where I keep my silver, and found noth
ing there but half a dollar. This at once
changed the whole current tif my feel
ings, and it was not chill penury that
repressed my noble rage, bet chill afflu
ence. It was inanifest;y wrong to give
half a dollar to a man who had no
hands or to any sort of beggar. I was
willing to commit a small act of inci
vism, but I had not the courage to flout
political economy to the extent of oO
0 uts, ::rA I felt that when I was bid
den "Give to him that asketh" I was
never meant to give so much as a half
dollar, but a cent, or a half dime, or at
1 he most a quarter. I wished I had a
quarter. I would gladly have given a
quarter, but there was nothing in my
pocket but that fatal, that inexorably
indivisible half dollar, the continent cf
two quarters, but not practically a quar
ter. I would have asked anybody iu
night to change it for me, but there was
no one passing ; it was a quiet street of
l.rownstoue dwellings, and not a
tlironged thoroughfare at any time. At
that hour of the late afternoon it was
(i.KTtcd, except for the beggar and niy
s If. and I am not sure that he had any
business to be sitting there on the steps
of another man's house, or that I had
t be right to encourage his invasion by
giving him aaythiug. For a moment I
d'.d not know quite what to da To be
6ure, I was not bound to the man in
any way. ' He had nut asked me for char
ity, and I had barely paused before
him. I could go on and ignore the in
cident I thought of doing this, but
then 1 thought of the bad conscience I
fchi.uld be certain to have, and I could
not go on. I glanced across the street,
aud near the corner I saw a decent look
ing restaurant, and "Wait a minute," I
said to the man, as if he wore likely to
go away, and I ran across to get my
half dollar changed at the restaurant.
I was now quite resolved to give him
a quarter, and lie done with it ; the
thing was getting to lie a bore. But
when I entered the restaurant I kw no
one there but a young man quite ct the
end of a long room, aud when he had
come all the way forward to find what
1 wanted I was ashamed to ask him to
change my half dollar, and I pretended
that I w:uted a package of Sweet Ca
IKjral cigarettes, which I did not want,
and which it was a pure waste for wo
to buy, hince I do nut smoke, though
doubtless it was bettor to buy them and
oneonrage commerce than to give the
half dollar and encourage beggary. At
any rate, I instinctively felt that I had
tolitical economy on my side in the
transaction, and 1 made haste to go hack
ro the man on the ht-s atid secure ny
elf with Christian charity too. On the
way over to him, however, I decided
that I would not give him a quarter, and
I ended by poising 13 cents on one of
his outstrctehod stumps.

HE KNEW JERSEY EGGS.
Tli WIm Printer Could Tell by Ttw-tr
Mm and Shape.
Two printers lunclied at a Park row
restaurant the other day. One ordered
"beef and" and the other two bcilod
eggs. When the eggs were placed before
the one who ordered them, he said to his
companion, "Why, those . are Jersey
eggs."
"How do yon know thoy are Jersey
egg-.,? They might have been laid in
1'ennsvlvania or Kentucky for all yon
know.""
"Well, I guess not Thee eggs came
from Jersey, and I know iL"
To prove it the proprietor was called
into the discussion, aud whn asked he
said the eggs were Jersey eggs.
Then the egg eater explained: "Over
ia Jersey the farmers, or eoine of them
at least, use a board with holes, large
aud HnalL bored in it All eggs that
will go through the small holes aro sent
to market, and thve which vill only go
through the lurge holes are reserved for
lrine cmtsnmptiou. "
Auothtr printer deviled a scheme i.t
Iffucuring good butter at bis boarding
l.t!e table. The landlady had two ta
bles fur Ler guests ranged one each side
jf a largo room. At one the women
Jioanlers and married conpIos sat, whih)
ut the other tablo the bachelors were
placed. At the women's table there was
always good butter, but at the other the
butter was emphatically inferior. A
lisiuter boarder suffered long and pa
tiently, but at last h rebelled. He went
to tho dining room Just before dinner
one evening and changed the butter
from cno table to the other. A howl
from the women's table shortly lifter
had the desired effect.
The liuttor was of equally good qual
ity at b;ith table thereafter. Xiw

THE NEBULAR THEORY.
Bow, Aeeordia- to It, tho Sua aad tha
I'lanrU Wore Formed.
The finite mind can hardly conceive
of a time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and sci
ence teach ns that such a state of affairs
ou-e actually existed. We have all road
the Biblical account of creation, and not
few of ns have spent valuable time
reading learned essays on the condition
of things in the time of "the begin
ning." It is not the object of this
"note" to discuss the origin of the sun
and the plauets from a Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give a resume
of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall confine our re
marks to what is known as the "nebu
lar hypothesis," or nebular theory of
the origin of worlds and suns.
According to the opinion of the most
learned astronomers, the "beginning" is
nshered in with the existence through
out all space of an nndefinable matter
of substance called "nebula." This raeb
nla was of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions of miles of
it could have easily been compressed in
to a common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat of the two latter be
ing due to the clashing of their compo
nent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center of the mass.
The nebula origin of the 6un and in
cidentally of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in a recent artieley a
well known Brith-h writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
gun, was once spread rat to the farthest
orbit of the outermost planets of our
prstem that is, to tin planet Neptune.
From the orbit of Jveptune this incon
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
aud smaller as it gradually approached
its existing dimensions. As it con
densed, revolving upon its axis, the so
ist left liehind it at iuta-vals tor
tious of cloudlike-matter cast off from
its equator.
These masses of Eras, nudergoiug
similar evolution to that of the sun, or
central mass, have, with great slowness,
hardened into what is now Jupiter, Sat
urn, the earth and the other planets.
Mennwhile the main central mass, al-
w.ivs retreat iuir. eventuallv formed the
sun itself, the present chief luminary of
our system of worlds. St. Juis no

Mark Twain once wrote a paper point
ing out the appalling danger of going tc
bed as exemplified in hills cf mortality
For one person who died out of his bed
several hundred succumbed in bed, and
now we have Mr. Ashby-Sterry drawing
attention to the same thing. Hithertc
he has hymned in graceful verse panta
lets, frills and the tempestuous petti
coat, aud now, quantum mutatus at
illo Hectore, he lands the pyjama. Iu a
recent number of The Graphic he says :
"I have a theory that most peop.e
catch cold at night after they are in bed,
and it is to this fact that I attribute a
great deal of tho violent colds, the brou
chial catarrhs and influenza which have
receutlv been so prevalent. The temper
ature goes down suddenly in the night,
and people catch cold when they are
asleep without knowing it This evil it
to be counteracted, not by piling on a
lot cf heavy blankets, but by wearing
thick, close fitting garments cf a py
jamalike nature and warm socks cu the
feet If this system were adopted, I am
unite certain that it would be found
beneficial"
There is common sense in this. Peo
ple unquestionably may catch cold ia
bed, especially if there aro at all rest
less and so kick the bedclothes off. Ia
that event if only clad in a thin cotton
nightshirt they are sure to catch cold,
whereas if clad in pyjamas, not necessa
rily thick, but made cf sonic woolen
material, the chance cf a chill is much
lessened. London Lancet

A. T. Stewart'. Whim.
A story 1st told illustrating the deter
mination of the late A. T. Stewart not
to allow any tender consideration or
any sympathetic influence to interfere
with the accomplishment of his ambi
tion, which was to build up the great
est Irtisiness house in America. Stew
art was for many years the merchant
prince of New York; he exerted an
influence that was felt in every part or
this country and was rewgnized abroad.
What he achieved was not more by
means of the genius of shrewdness than
by means of the genius of iertinacity.
Stewart cultivated the germ of selflsh-
nes that was in him; cultivated it
calculatingly and determinedly, as we
see by this little story that is told of
him:
Upon entering the store one morning
he sought out the man having the hir
ing aud discharging of the cash boys.
"Mr. Libby," said be, "who is that
hands une, lright-eyed little boy stand
ing by the counter yonder"
"His name is Mason, Charley Mason,
sir," answered Mr. Libby. "He is, in
deed, a handsome little fellow, and he
is as bright and as welj mannered as
lie is handsome. He is the most at
tentive and most promising boy we
have in our employ."
"Yes, I thought as much," said
Stewart gruffly. "Discharge him at
nee.
"Why, Mr. Stewart," exclaimed
Libby, almost paralyzed with astonish
ment, "you surely can not mean it!"
"Discharge him at once, I say," re
peated Stewart sternly. "I'm getting
too much interested in that loy. 1 find
myself stopping and talking with him
as I come in or go out of the store. His
personality interests me his candor,
his intelligence, his enthusiasm, his
beauty. I find myself thinkingof him
after I reach mv desk ami when I
should lie busy at work. I have no
time and no right to become interested

liking to distract me from business.

Seen on a Train.
Thirly-two women got on the train
at Tacoma. They had lieen attending
the water works convention and were
on their wav to Portland. It seemed
that one of their number had shied the
track and had stayed behind. Thirty-
two tongues roa.sted this woman from
one station to another until she was
pretty well done. They kicked on
what she ate and what she wore and
what she didn't wear. Her shoes were
too small; her feet were too big and
she didn't know how to comb her hair
and it wasn't her own, anyway; and
the brakeman and conductor would
hurry through this car as it they were
afraid of something. Two of the dele
gates went into the dining car for some
thing to eat, while the rest ate out of
Imskets and sacks. After they had got
out the thirty remaining jumped onto
them without mercy; the stutl" was off
alioiit the track-shier; the- ran their
ng? up and their characters down; they
aroused them of having their hired
girls' dresses on, and said one of them
tried to make a mash on a I aroma jks
liccman and the other spoke to a cigar
sign. Then we went Into the dining

so much that we rle in another car

Sold 'em Three for a Nickel.
The business World of the village of
Johnstown, in the western iiart of
Licking County, O., had succumbed to
the heat and had lain down for its sum
mer siesta. Plainly things needed
stirring up, and it was Postmaster and
Editor W. A. Ashbrooke who did it.
His humble instruments were merely a
piece of white pasteboard and some
black paint, the latter, however, mixed
with a shrewd quality of brains.
When his prewration was finished,
a large placard challenged the notice of
all passers-by with the startling legend:
"Postage stamps, three for five cents."
The first response to this alluring state
ment was from a drummer. He ac
costed the postmaster: "Do you mean
to say that you actually sell three post
age stamps for a nickel?" The post
master replied that this was undoubt
edly the case. "Well," said the drum
mer, "I never saw a reduction in stamps
liefore; I'll take (2 worth. I don't
need 'em, but it's the best bargain in
stamps I ever heard of."
He waited with a gratified smile
while Mr. Ashbrooke put his 2 bill in
the drawer and counted out the stamps.
By this time his expression of com
placency had given place to one of
chagrin, and as he pocketed the stamps,
he remarked: "Well, that'soneon me."
Presently a winsome girl came trip
ping up with a letter to her sweetheart.
When she read the placard her eyes
sparkled with pleasure to think that
the stream of coin she was steadily
pouring into Uncle Sam's coffers was

laid down a nickel with a confident
air and said: "Give me three stamps."

Essay on Pants.
A lioy in a Western school has been
suspended for reading the following es-
sav on pants: "Pants are made fo:
men and not men for pants. Women
are made for men and not for pants.
When a man pants for a woman and
a woman pants br a man they are a
pair of pants. Such pants don't last
Pants are like molasses; they are thin
ner in hot weather and thicker in cold.
The man in the moon changes his
pants during the eclipse. Don't you
go into the pantry for pants, you might
le mistaken. Men are often mistaken
iu punts. Such mistakes make breech
es of i iron use. There has been much
discussion as to whether paiits is sin
gular or plural. Seems to us when
men wear pants they are plural, and
when they don't wear any pants its
singular. Men go on a tear in their
pants, and it Is all right; but when the
jwnts go on a tear It Is all wrong."

Plan for a Vacation Trip.
"I wonder why a farmer does not
set aside 7i0 each y-ar for use in travel
ing," writes a level headed contribut
or. It will be money well expended.
during a couple of weeks, seeing the
sights with the gool wife. IVrhajisyou
"can't afford" any vacation, let alone
spending fciO on it- Well, perhajis you
"can't afford" to live ! What's life for
if we are not to enjoy it? Get a neigh
bor to care for your stock and work that
must bo done during your aIseiioe, if
you have no one to leave ou the farm,
nd do as much for him. A little
neighborly co-oicration will make a
vacation possible that otherwise might
seem out of the question.
Some seasons it would lie wise policy
to spend a week in a busy city, not
visiting friends, but paying for each
privilege. Such a change would be
beneficial alike to mind and body. The
show of poverty aud suffering of those
who cannot or will not forsake the
city for the freedom of country life,
will be as opportune as the glamour aud
show of fine horses and equipages, and
the many attractions. Every city is
overcrowded.
Make the change of scene in your va
cation as pronounced as possible.
Change is rest, as Abe Lincoln used to
say when, after splitting rails all day,
he went to sawing wood. If you live
inland, go to ocean or lake; the sight of
the water, the air, the baths, will do
you wonders of good. If you live by
the water, go inland or to the moun
tains. Wherever you go, take life easy.
IlesL Don't try to see everything.
Take your comfort. The farmer is a
typical American when he travels; he
wants to do everything aud see every
thing for the least possible time and
money. Do less ami see less, but lie
more thorough. Olwerve how the peo
ple live and work. Note that all is not
gold that glitters and that ever' sec
tion or business has its disadvantages.
Such a change, even if only fora day
or two, lifts the farmer and his family
right out of the rut. And they usually
return to the farm not only refreshed,
but better satisfied with the homestead
than ever. This is a big, bright world,
but there's no place in it like home. A
report in a grange or farmers' club
from two or three who have spent va
cations aud small sums in this way
would make a meeting of great at
tractiveness and interest. Aimriran

A Good Suggestion-
Kk iii-tkk, N. Y. John Davis of
this city, took a severe cold and suller
ed pain through the luck and kidneys.
His physician pronounced his ease
gravel, and failed to help him. Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite ltemedy
was recommended, and after taking
two bottles he was cured. It has never
failed in gravel or urinary troubles.
At Niagara Falls.
Here is a somewhat new story of the
Niagara Falls hackmau :
Two tourists, a lady and a gentleman,
stopped off at the Falls lietweeii trains.
A hackman engaged them for a brief
tour of sight-seeing. And the time
actually consumed was fifty-five min
utes. The hackmau said he must have
$10. The gentleman remarked that it
was an outrage. The driver explained
that he had been of great assistance in
pointing out the places of interest and
stood firm. The gentleman prepared
to pay under protest.
Unfortunately for himself he handed
the man a (20 bill.
"Do you iay for the lady also?" ak
ed the hackman promptly.
"Do I pay for the lady also?" re
pented the mail iu astonishment. "Of
course I do. What do you mean?"
"Then there will lie no change," re
plied the hackman. "My charge of f 10
Is for one person; $20 for two jiersons.
The amount you have handed me is
exactly correct. Thank you sir."
Iluffiiln Kxiift .
' For earache, put a couple of drops of
Thomas' Eolcctric Oil on a bit of cot
ton and place it in the ear. The pain
will stop iu a few moments. Simple
enough, isn't it?
"Surelv." said the parson, "angels
visit us in our sleep. Who has not
seemed to hear the vibration of their
wings as they lie at rest, and the soft
soothing symphony of their music?"
Before he could proceed, he was inter
rupted by a bueolic gentleman in tho
back seat, who allowed that he had
"heard them durn nniskeetcrs, con
found 'em, lots of times, but he never
thought of callin' 'em angels."

The Medical Press tells a story of a
gentleman who went to visit a friend
who was au in mate of a lunatic asylum.
When he hail been there aliout an
hour he looked at the chick and asked
if it was right. The lunatic gazed at
him with a look of compassion on his
fitce for a minute or so, and then said:
"Do you think it would be here if it
was right, you lunatic?"
What He Admired.

"Yes ni' impudence."
Hay Fever, Catarrh and Deafness.
Hay Fever has not the same cause in
all cases. It is positively certain, that,
iu many cases it is from over sensitive
branches of nerve in the nose. Dr
Sadler, 804 Penu Avenue, Pittsburgh,
has found some cases where a touch ou
a certain portion of the inside of the
nose caused a cough instantaneously,
with watery discharge from the nose
and eyes. Last season several cases
buffering from severe hay fever were
relieved immediately, and remained
free from all the symptoms upon ap
plication of electricity to the sensitive
jiarts. Catarrh of the nose aud throat
predisposes to an attack, aud iVufnoss
s caused in three out of four cases by
Catarrhal inflammation of the nose
jand throat. It is very rarely necessary
to remove the bones from the nose, as
being practiced by a few specialists of
the radical class. Obstruction of the
nose and mouth in breathing is most
frequently caused by thickening of the
soft tissues and not deformity of the
bom's. Consult Dr. Sadler lk-fore su'
mittiug to such unnecessarily severe
and expensive operations. Dr. Sadler
is conservative and thorough in his
work, and his 20 years ex erhT.cc make
his methods reliable ami. safe.
Dob By Dynamite.
Waco, Tex., July 2i.-At Mart, a
small borough a) miles from here, five
negroes were instantly killed this morn
ing and one seriously injured, as tho
result of a dispute whii-li began sever 1
mouths ago, when Alio Phillips, a ne
gro, and Phil Arnold, white, both farm
ers, were killed. Since then the fooling lie
tweeii the friends of liotli men has been
very bitter, and the negroes have fre
quently lieen threatened with destruction.
At 2 o'clock this morning the entire
town was awakened by a loud rciwirt.
Investigation showed that the house oc
cupied by Mrs. Phillips, w idow of the
negro killed by Arnold, was in flames.
The house had been Mown up with a
stick of dynamite thrown into it, and fire
finished the work.
Of the six negroes in the house at the
time, five were, killed by the explosion
and one burned to death. One person
who escaped is so badly injured that he
will die.
Owing to the inaccessibility of the
place, particulars are meager, but
enough is kuowu to show that the
tragedy is the result of the Arnold-
Phillips killing.
Kecently meats kept in the house have
been found to contain poison, and when
fed to dogs immediate death ensued.
A nearby house was also demolished.
and fragments of the houses were thrown
iu every direction and at remote dis
tance. The Sheriffs of the three counties
havcgoiij to the place to investigate.
No arrests have yet been made.
Lost by Smut.
Wasiunotox, July :3'. The ravages of
the grain smuts are reviewed and the
means of prevention outlined in a rcjiort
of the Agricultural Department. The oat
smut, which is found throughout the
United States and is known on every
continent, prolmbly ha the widest distri
bution of any of the species. The of
ficial estimate of the direct loss from it
is aliout 8 per cent, of the crop or aliout
?18,00iv"0 annually. Smuts in wheat
fields cost the country many millions of
dollars annually. Sometimes o) or even
". per cent, of the heads are smutted,
and the sound grain is so contaminated
with the fetid spores as to be nearly
worthless for flour and worse than useless
for seed. The disease is often spread from
farm to farm by threshing machines.
When ouce introduced, if left unchecked,
it increases year by year until a large
percentage of the crop is destroyed. The
loose smuts usually cause a loss of 10
per cent, or more of the w heat crop and
has even lieen reported as destroy ing over
iio per cent, of a crop in Michigan.
Wheat growers are urged to try to se
cure seed wheat from fields known by
careful examination at flowering time to
be free from loose smut, ft can, however,
be comlmtted by treating enough wheat
to furnish seed for the following year.
Oat smut can lie completely prevented
by two newly discovered treatments of the
seed by use of MiUissiiim sulphide and
hot water. Hot water is also advocated
for eradicating loose smut of wheat and
barley smut and coiht sulphate for
w heat smut. The hot water and pot.is
siuni seed treatment results in an increase
in the yield, averaging double or treble
what would result from suppressing the
visible smut.
A Graisiopper Diet.
Pom- Jkkvis, X. Y., July V. A queer
old man is Levi Layman, who owns a
small farm in the liechwiods, I Kick of
Callicoou leH-t, m Sullivan County,
Some years ago his wife died, and several
mouths after he says she appeared to
him in a dream and told him to prepare
to meet her, as he would die on the 7th
of November, lVl't
Layman believed In the dream and re
fused to put in his usual crops, saying
he had enough to last until tho time set
for his tleallu Hut when November 7
arrived he was astonished to find him
self in the tlesh, and since then has tie
sired to live, fjitely he has lost flesh
aud strength rapidly until he now weighs
only 113 pounds.
His appetite has gone, and he felt he
had not long to live; hut grasshoppers
put iu their appearance in that hs-nlily
rei-ently. . Layiuau said to a neighlior ho
could relish a mess of grasshoppers, but
was too feeble to catch them.
The neighbor was astonished, but to
gratify the old man's will gathered a
quart of the insects. Layman fried anil
devoured them all ut a single meal. He
said he never tasted anything liettcr,
and lielieved if he could dine ou gra-vs.
hoppers every day he would sioii regain
his health and prolong his lift).
His friend has since kept the old
dreamer's table supplied with the insects,
and Liyman is getting stronger in con
sequence. I'rnest was four years old w hen he
saw his first monkey, which was on
the street with a "hand-organ man."
He rushed into the house, saying,
"Mamma, mamma! Him looks like
a man, but him am a kitty."

Whet's the difference between a state
