This espresiic j had its birth in the days when people relied more on their legs us a means of locomotion than they do nowadays. When a man started to foot it from cue town to another, he rsually cut a etick or a sapling to help bim along on his journey. This habit was particularly common in Ireland, aud it is more than probable that the expression found birth in that country. About the year 1820 a song re lating the adventures of an Irishman was very popular in Glasgow. It began: "Oh, I creisbud my brogues aud I cut iny stick." The pbrate took hold of the American mind in the days of slavery. A runaway black would generally cat stick to help him on his travel to pos sible liberty, and the advertisements concerning runaway slaves we're nearly always headed w ith a crude -woodcut of a negro with a stick and a Vundle over his ehonlder.

His captors then proceeded to noo6e his feet and draw tbem through holes bored in tbe floor cf the cage, aud a black smith was directed to draw bis claws. The tiger's legs having been secured by ropes, tho royal sportsmen had a sliding door in tho cage openetj, and when tbe captive put his head out. they shut the door down on his neck wbjile the black smith, with mallet aud chisel, broke off his teeth.

The two men met, there- fere, on the fieH attended by their sec onds and the surgeons. A look over the field was enougn to convince any oue present that there would be no occasion for the doctors s-virL A thick November log over hung the scene so thick that oue could hardly see his hand before bis face. Ine arraugorneuts for the duel required uias it khoGld be fought at S3 paces. Nor was the fog the only thing which tended to put the combatants out of sight of each other. On the way to the field M. de Fourton said: "M. Gambetta has but one eye, and I am shortsighted, so the gams will be about even." It was rendered fill more "evtn" by the foir. Neither man could see the oth er, and tbe sole danger was to the sec onds and tbe doctors. Almost miraculously tbe two bullets which were exchanged missed the per sons in attendance, tveryooay nonor was satisfied, and the whole party went home. "Tliat." said M. Gambetta on the way, "was as near to being a skirmish in the daik as anything I ever aaw." Youth's Companion. A Bowery Boy la Philadelphia.

When yon havo to play football and go in fur bouso runs and do prep., to say nothing of spending some hours a day in form, you don't get very much time fur reading. Besides, it's ratber smuggish to read much out of school. Tho thing to do is to read in form, which is quite easy when your form master is shortsighted. Just stick your book in the lid of your desk, under your construe, and yon can read away as much as yon like. Only it has to be a thin book. The best for this purpose is the "Red Rovers of Mexico, '.' because it is printed on very thin paper and has a paper cover. Besides, it only costs a penny, and even this expense may be diminished by tearing out the pages and passing them round as you read them, Every chap in tbe tipper fourth has read tbe "Red Rovers of Mexico."

It is not unusual at tbe aquarium to see in a tank the fiahes all together side by tido and heads in a line, like a pla toon or section of men. They remuin thus for a considerable time. Most fishes are gregarious, they keep together in schools in the water, and here they seem to keep together for company's sake. Sometimes all tbe fishes iu a tank but one will be lined up in this way side by side and headed in oue direction, whilo the single fish will be back cf the others aud headed tbe other way. Then tbe suggestion of soldiers conveyed to the mind by the fishes in line is strengthened. For tbe eiuglo fish seems to bo a rear guard, looking out for the enemy in that direction. New York Sun.

The Italian correspondent of Litera ture, in discussing Signor d'Annunzio, alludes to the fact if it is a fact that in epite of "his putridity and morbid secraality" he "compels even those inost averse from his standard of tasta to acknowledge his power as an artist" Well, suppose he does com pel this ac knowledgment What of it?

We are well aware that this kind of proposition always wakes a shrill yelp of protest in certain quarters. To deny the right of "art" to defrauytbing it pleases is, we are told, to write one self down not only a Philistine, but a gibbering idiot Nevertheless, the great shining fact remains that a man like D'Annunzio never got anything like s permanent foothold upon Parnassus, and all this talk about his "art" might just as well ceaso.

Moral hygiene expresses the state be tween the mind and the condition of the body. It is only charitable to assume that the condition of the body must leave much to be desired iu the case of those who deliberately lay themselves out to hurt the feelings of others with perfect iudifference aud without a ves tige of compunction. As regards the na ture if such people, it must be on a par with those who pride themselves upon their "bluutness" usually a brutal way of saying singularly unpleasant things and which some are wont to dig nify by the term of frankness. It will usually be found that these persons are wanting in any of those finer feelings of our common nature and particularly in that delicacy and refinement which mark all tbe difference between the gen tleman, properly so termed, and the boor. Those who are cousiderate of the feel ings of others may undoubtedly at times inadvertently hurt the feelings of others, but to do so deliberately would be us impossible for tbem as to commit intentionally one of the cardinal sins.

The Nev York Central railroad runs under Park avenue, and then is a succession of openings in the top of the tnnneL Finding that the policeman was gaining on him, tbe bnrglar took a desperate chance and leaped down one of these openings at the risk of break ing bis neck. Now the bnrglar wa running for his liberty, and it was the part of wisdom for him to imperil life or lim but the policeman was merely doing bis duty, and nobody could have blamed bim for not taking the jump. However,, he jumped, and in this par ticular caso tho hand of the Lord was heavy upon the unrighteous.

Of course, as before, this exposed us to wild outcries from the local political bosses and heelers and much sneering at "civil service reform, " but all th3 outcries and sneers meant was that wo were doing our duty as de cent men and as public officials, with soino slight appreciation of what was implied by the words honor and up rightness. Political organizations are eminently necessary and useful, but when they are seized by professional spoils politicians of low morality, who run tho "machine" in their own inter ests, who clamor against honesty aud defy decency anil rail against that de vice for obtaining clean government which is known as civil servi reform, then it is time for all citizens who believe in good citizenship to rise in re volt The Toposcope. In tho loftiest tower in tho city of Vienna there is a novel instrument, known as the toposcope, eon-stantly at tended day and night, for the purpose of locating lires. It consists of a good tele scope, which is solidly a'.tached to an arrKgeuicut of levers, whilo graduated sections of a circle are arranged horizon tally and vertically in enclx a way that the moving of the telescope sideways or np or down results in a change of posi tion of the hands attached to the levers in reference to the graduated scales. Thus, tho stability of the apparatus be ing assured by the firmness of the f:is tening, whenever the telescope is focus ed upon the some object the hands will point to the same figures on the hori zontal and on the vertical sextant, and sinoo an index of the whole city has been mado it is but a matter of a few seconds, when a glare is discovered at night, to direct upon the spot the to po se po on the side, to read off the num bers, to look np the object and to tele graph to the central station the details observed. Local conditions arc, of course, necessary for the successful oper ation of such an apparatus, but in this case they are said to bo almost perfect The tower is over 500 feet high, and an uninterrupted view of the great area of tho city is thus posttiblo to the watch man if the atmospheric conditions are favorable. A MsDSflsc Widow. A certain young widow of Indianapo lis, who has just changed her weeds fit brighter hues, gave a dinner party no, long ago, says tho Indianapolis Sentinel Tho rooms were decorated with a grct profusion of flowers. Roses in masses were on the mantels, and the dinner table fairly blossomed. In fact, lis abundance of tiowers was unusual One of the pr cs could restrain her curiosity no longer, and when the dessert was brought in said: "Well. Mrs. Blank, you'ro rather spreading on the flowers tonight " "Yea, " replied the fair widow bright ly, "but tomorrow I am going to take them out to Crow Hill and put them on poor Tom's grave. " A regular "18" shiver went round the table, Sahara Oaeia. French experts in tho 'desert of Sahara are expressing apprehensions at the gradual diminution of the fertile oases. It is known that the large oases wero much larger in the time of the ancieut Romans and that they are being con stantly reduced in size by tho encroach ments of the sand dunes. The problem is how to stop thesa Sore Sign. "Barber's wife Is rather tho boss of tho outfit, hm't she? "I would not like to say so positive ly.

In June, ik.-J, President ( Jrant removed William Ton- ry from oftiee because Tonry had mar ried Anna II Surratt, daughter of the fa mous Mrs. Surratt, who wa9 hanged after trial for complicity in the pint against the life of Abraham Lincoln. At Chiikamanga a few days ago, when the Fifth Maryland Volunteers were encamped there, they were under command of (.reneral Frederick. I. (rant In that regiment were two men one Reginald I. Tonry, sergeant ia Company C, commanded by Cap tain ThomsonTand the other Albert S. Tonry, corporal In Company L, com manded by Captain Boyden. They were the sons of the man who had loit bis position because he had married ilrs. 8urrat's daughter, and they were grandsons of Mrs. Surratt Mrs Kurratt's two sons, John and Isaac, are both living and both are in the service of the Bay Bine, Balti more. The Btltimore Sun, which makes record of this curious minor fact in history, uhto calls attention to the pres ence of Colonel Marshall's son, Mark- ham, ou General F. D. Grant's stair. Markham's father was one of General 11. R. Lee's favorite aides, and a gallant and brilliant soldier. In a letter to his brother in Baltimore, II. II. OlniHtead, machinist, nays that it was hot work In-low decks during the battle of Manila. Down iu the en gine room of the Coucord, where his duties were, he writes, the thermometer registered loo degrees during part of the day, and the men could scarcely live in the heaL Those not actually engaged at the guns kept their heads out of port holes as much as possible to catch whatever air was stirring, which was very little.

Cows with fiectacIeB are to be seeu on the Russian stepies The steppes are covered with snow more than six months in theyeitr, and the cows must subtiist ou the tufts of grass which ap pear above the surface of the snow, aud the rays of the sun on the snow are so dazzling as to cau.se blindness Smoke-eolored glasses arc worn by the cuttle, to the extent of nearly 4o,0ti0 pairs at the present time. The tomato produces fruit throughout the seitsou until frost d-s;rts the vine. It will have blossoms, green fruit and ripe fruit at the same time, and is con sequently a continuous bearer. To do this profusely, however, it should have alilicral application of fertilizer aj plitd broadcast over considerable ground around the plant, aud the soil should l kept clean, while the vines will lie benefitted by having supports. It is an eld remark that cabbages cannot bo worked too frequently. They stem to take a fresl. start every time they are cultivated aud given a good hoeing between the plants This if particularly the case with late cab bages which have portions of the dry season to contend with. The Pennsylvania Railroad-! New Double-Track Line to Atlantic City. With the new schedule of early sum mer trains iu elFect May Slh, the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad practi cally opens to travel its new double track line from Camden and Broad Street Station to Atlantic City. During the Winter and Spring the line from Camden to Atlantic City has been actually rebuilt. The old light rails have been replaced by new steel rails weighing one hundred pounds to the yard, and an entirely new road has been constructed by the grading neces sary for the double tracks The grade crossing over the tracks of the Jersey Southern Railway at Winn Iow has lveu eliminated by the build ing of au elevated roadway high above the intersecting tracks and thus ena bling the fastest trains to pavs this point without blackening speed. Au absolutely new roadbed has been con structed across tho meadows Upon the magnificent foundation of the old Camden & Atlantic roadbed, which has been building by the accumulated work of forty 3'ears, thousands of carloads of gravel anil, sand lmve been placed to the depth of six feet from the surface up, so that the tracks are elevated above the height of the storm tides In ordt r that the elevated tracks may the lietter withstand the action of tstoru tides, canals have been opened at intervals to carry the accumulated water lMienth Hie roadway, and the exposed sides of the embankment have been thickly coated with the heavy and adhesive soil dug from the meadows The new track is as tirm as the old ever was an(' withe these protections and reinforce ments it will stand firmly the bruut of any ordinary storm. The new road way has been coated with an applica tion of oil so as to free it from the du naturally incident to the new graf Under these improved couditt' West Jersey aud Seashore' tracKeu noes 10 .-iiauiic i v finest and best line oXjfg .C Summer resort ia of trains both frouv '''-fine" wc in tion and Camden Y7nest evcr goW celerated and the j portionatelyreduc'11 soId rc5uIli aud equipment v( (more money thj? high standard ma, j tiem at.
