"Sav, -what you pot in your mouth, i
Imse hall?" asked the groceryman of tho
bad boy, as ho came in t ho store with both
chocks stickinoutnndlookinTnd. "I'll
bet you have pot your mouth full of ben
zine, or somcthintr, and you are going to
play somo joke on mo, by squirting it on
the stove."
"No, I ain't got nothing in my mSJ(h,"
said the boy, in a voice that sounded as
though ho was trying to talk with a hot
potato in his mouth. "This is my Sunday
school lesson. I was smote on one cheek
and I turned the other, and nearly had
my neck broke. Xot any mora turning
the other cheek for Hennery."
"Oh, go 'way," said the groceryman.
"You wasn't such a blamed fool as to
turn tho other check, when you got hit,
was you?" And then, examining the boy's
cheeks and finding them swelled up he
added, "by jingo, I believe you did. How
was it, anyway
- "Well, it was in tho lesson," said the
boy, "and my teacher said it tvus the
greatest triumph in tho world for a per
son to be able to turn the other cheek
when smote on ono cheek. I asked him
if peoplo ever did that, and he said our
best citizens did. He said it required a
great deal of patience, but a person
should always turn tho other cheek also.
I asked pa about it, and pa said the
teacher was right, and that it was the
duty of every citizen to turn tho other
cheek when smote on ono cheek, and he
should always do so. Well, sir, I want
to bo good, and I just longed for some
body to smite me on one cheek so I could
turn tho other also, but it seemed as
though tho sraitcrs were not on tho war '
path, and for two days I had to go
around without being smote. But Wed
nesday afternoon I was down by the
theatre, where they were having a mati
nee, and there was a lot of boys slid
ing on a smooth piece of ice in the
gutter, and I rushed on to slide, and
I run against a boy, and he
hauled off and lammed me on this cheek.
Oh, gosh, but I did see stars. Um ! But
didn't he smite. I was going to pick up
a froze cat that was in the street, and hit
him, -when I happened to think of turn
ing tho other cheek, and I turned my
face toward him, and ho gave me
another, right hero. Oh! ohl But it was
ten times bigger than tho other smote,
and I guess it made me crazy. Anyway,
I shall plead insanity to get out of it."
"Get out of what?" asked the grocery
man. "You don't have to get out of
anything. If ho hit you a couple of
times, and you stood it, you don't havo
to get out of anything."
"Yes, but I didn't stand it," said the
boy, as ho felt of his swelled cheek.
"When ho hit me that last rap it knocked
all the meekness out of me, and I went
at him, and we had an awful fight.
He wouldn't turn his other cheek,
so I turned it for him, and I warmed
him so ho hollered enough. But I
was sorry afterward, and felt a9 though I
would bo ashamed to meet "pa or my
teacher. So I thought I would see how
those good men would stand being
smote, and I found a feller who wanted
to earn two shillings, and I hired him
to smote pa and the teacher, just to see
how they would turn tho other cheek.
The teacher keeps books in a store, and
goes to lunch in a restaurant, and when
he camo along tho fellow I had hired
went up to h'nn and slapped him on the
cheek, not very hard, but just hard
enough to make him feel as though he
was nit. I looked for the teacher to turn
the other cheek, but, gosh, he turned
pale and run down the alley back of the
store, and his coat-tails stuck out so you
could play marbles on them. I yelled
to him to turn tho other cheek, but he
run faster, and tho next morning tho
paper told about a .dastardly attempt
at highway robbery and assassina
tion on the street, in broad daylight, one
of our most respected citizens being the
victim, and only for his presence of mind
tho attempt would have been successful.
Well, I thought I should 'die when I read
that. Then I had my hired man try it
on pa. I knew pa would turn his other
cheek, because he said that was the riht
thing to do. But when the fellow hit
pa, pa turned and lambed the fellow
right in the ear, and then yelled for a
policeman, but my hired man got out of
the way. That night pa said he had a
narrow escape from being sand-bagged,
and I asked him if he turned tho other
cheek also, and he said not if he knowed
it. I don t think this is the right kind
of a climate for turning the other cheek
when you are smote, do you?"
"Well," said tho groceryman, as he
looked at tho boy's swelled cheeks, "it
is hard to make a rule that will apply in
all kinds of cases. The idea is a good
one, to turn tho other cheek,
but wo are apt to forget, especially
if, on a casual inspection of tho smitcr
we think we can whip him, or if he is so
small that his smiting docs not hurt, lint
when a man deliberately belts me in the
jaw, and dislocates it, I immediately
think that one jaw is enough to have
fractured at once. I guess when thar.
smiting business became the custom, and
peoplo turned the other cheek, thev
didu't strike from tho shoulder the way
they do nihv days. I think tho best way
is to put up your arms and ward off the
blow, and try to reason with the smiter,
and if he insists on smiting, sort of ac
cidentally cull' him in the nose. That
brings u smiter to his senses about as
quick us anything. And so your pa
didn't practice what he preached, eh?"
"Xot much. He got hot in a minute,
and acted like a prize tighter. I asked
him more about it this morning, and he
6aid it was all right enough fur boys to
turn tho other cheek, where they had
plenty, but when a man got his growth,
it was dangerous for anybody to try to
smote him. Queer, ain't it?" ani the
boy went out as though he was trying to
think of tsoiui'ihiug real hard. J'ecVt

Ilistorj of the Alphabet.
How many of the millions that daily
use tho alphabet, ever stop to think of
its origin and long history? In the true
spirit of a student, Isaac Tavlor, a well
known English writer on philosophical
and philological subjects, lias recently
written and" published, in London, two
stout volumes under tho title: "The
Alphabet, an Account of tho Origin and
Development of Letters." It is only by
help ot recent discoveries of early in
scriptions and the progress in the art of
reading lost languages and deciphering
hitherto unknown symbols, that such a
well posted history lias become possible.
By careful study of the learned essays and
scientific investigations of the latest phil
ologists, Taylor has set forth in language
of easy comprehension the origin of the
alphabet, showing that our own "Ro
man " letters may bo followed back to
their very beginning, some tweuty or more
centuries ago, as ho esserts. We have
no more letters, according to thuMMmitt,
than those of the Italian printers of the
fifteenth century. These wero imitated
from the beautiful manuscripts of the
tenth and eleventh centuri", the letter
ing of these being orived from the
Human of the Augustan nge. Homan
letter?, in their turn, are traced to those
employed at Home in the third century
B. C, and these do not dilTcr greatly
from forms used in the earliest existing
specimens of Latin writing, dating from
tho fifth century B. C. The primitive
alphabet of Home was derived from a
local form of the Greek alphabet, in use
about the sixth century B. C, and that
was a variety of the earliest Greek alpha
bet belonging to tho eighth, or even to
tho ninth century B. C. Tho Greeks got
their letters from tho Phoenicians, and
theirs are clearly traceable in the most
ancient known form of tho Semitic.
Tho most ancient of books, a papyrus
found at Thebes, and now preserved in
tho French national library, supplies the
ei iii-sl turiiis oi lue letters useu in mi
Semitic alphabet. The stone tables of
tho law could have been possible to the
Jews only because of their possession of
an alphabet, and thus tho Bible and mod
ern philological science unite in ascrib
ing a common oririn to the alphabet
which is in daily uso throughout the
world. The nineteenth century B. C. is
held by Taylor to be the approximate
dato of the origin of tho alphabetic writ
ing, anu trom that timo it grow by slow
degrees, while from Egypt, the homo of
the Jews during their long captivity, the
knowledge of their captivity was carried
in all directions where alphabets are now
found.
The Aryans are thought to have been
the first to bring tho primitive alphabet
to perfection, and each letter and each
sound may be traced, by Taylor s careful
analysis, through all tho .changes that
have marked the growth, progress, and,
in some instances, tho decay of dillerent
letters of various alphabets. It is an in
teresting fact that the oldest known "A
B C" in existence is a child's alphabet,
scratched on a little ink bottle of black
ware, found in ono of the oldest Greek
settlements in Italy, attributed to the
fifth century, B. C. The earliest letters
and many later ones are known only by
inscriptions, and it is the rapid increase,
by recent discoveries, of those precious
fragments that has inspired more diligent
research and quickened the zeal of
learned students in mastering the. ele
ments of knowledge of their origin and
history throughout the world. As late
as 187G there were found in Cyprus some
bronze plates inscribed with "Phoenician
characters, dating back to tho tenth,
even the eleventh century B. C.
Coins, engraved gems, inscribed stat
ues, and, last of all, the Siloam inscrip
tion, found in 1880 at Jerusalem, on
the wall of an old tunnel, have sup
plied new material for the history.
Prom the common mother of many alpha
bets, tho Phoenician, are descended the
Greek and other European systems on
the ono side, including that which we
use and have the greatest interest in;
and on the other, tho alphabets of Asia,
from -which have sprung those of the
East, Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew.
The Brakemnu's Story.
"Was I ever in an accident?" echoed
the brakeman, as he took off his gloves,
readjusted his necktie, and brushed off
imaginary dust after putting some coal
in the heater. "Never had an accident
in my life, sir, but I come mighty close
to it several times. Closest call I ever
had was down near Laporte. We stopped
to fix up a hot-box, and as I knew the
limited was close behind us I skipped
back w ith my lantern in a hurry. Hadn't
gone more'u ten or twelve yards when I
heard her a-comin' about a mile off, per
haps more. There was a curve right
there, and I couldn't see her. Hearin' of
her made ine a bit anxious, and I started
to run faster it was a snowy, blowy
night when I slipped down, broke my
lantern, and the wind blew it out. Here
was a fix me a hundred feet from the
rear of my train, expected to stop No.
20, and her a-comin' down the grade
and round tho curve, and my lantern
out! Now I tell you I did some
pretty quick thinking then. I hadn't
time to get back to the train, get another
lantern, and get far enough to stop her.
Couldn't strike a match iu the wind, cer
tain, and for a second or two I didn't
know what to do. Then it come back to
me like a Hash, and didn't I hustle! Hun
back to my train, pulled the rope for our
engineer to go ahead, yelled with all my
niijiht to the conductor, who was ahead
where the hot box was, and grabbed the
red bulls-eye from the rear platform,
climbed up on the brake and then on to the
coach, and when I got there held my
bulls eye up high and waved her across
the track. It was as I thought. I could
see twenty's headlight from up there
would she see nit if Apparently not, for
she came along like inad as I felt myself
going crazy. But as soon as she struck
the tangent of tho curve the engineer
looked my wny, saw the red light, and
put her down hard. You see if I had
stayed oil the track he couldn't have seen
the light at all; but even as it was, noth
ing saved us but the fact that our traia
started up in time to get fairly i.oing be
fore twenty saw my bulls-eye. Not a
passenger knew w hat a close cull we'd
had. Neither did the superintendent,
you bt-t. Elkhart! Elkhart! Twenty
minutes for dinner!" Chicaiju HertdJ.

" California?'
Tho origin of ninny of the names given
to old cities and countries hns been lost
in the midst of antiquity, and doubt is
already thrown upon some of those of mod
ern times, says a California letter to the
New York Evening Int. Tho city of
San Francisco derives its present name
from tho bay on which it is situated, but
tho first, and now well-nigh forgotten
one, was Ycrbabuena, as it was called by
tho Mexicans beforo tho inroads of our
adventurous countrymen, who could see
no reason for maintaining it when they
looked about on the sand dunes, and
found scarcely a blado of good grass.
But. they were mistaken in tho meaning
of tho word. Ycrbabuena signi
fies peppermint, an herb to which
Mexican women attach a ppocial
importance iu their domestic economy.
Thus, in tho future, when this fact be
comes more widely known, other nick
named towns may retort upon San Fran
cisco, by fastening upon it the name of
Peppermint city. As to the State of Cal
ifornia, a majority of the people seem to
fancy that it is so called from a combina
tion that deuotes something that is beau
tiful. An eminent authority (Webster)
goes still further out of tho way when he
supposes tho first tillable to bo derived
from Caliph, implying very indirectly that
the country is a sort of Mohammedan par-
adise. Throwing the Greek and -Arabic
theories aside as unworthy of considera
tion, we find tho truth in an old manu
script in tho archives of tho church at
Santa Barbara, written by Juan Rodriguez
do Cabrillo, one of the early explorers,
who, in 1542, followed tho coast
up further than Cortcz did seven years
before. Cabrillo 6ays: "Cortez and his
companions, struck by the difference be
tween tho dry and burning heat they ex
perienced, compared with the moist and
less oppressive heat of the Mexican ticrra
calientc, first gave to a bay, and after
ward to the country, the name of Tierra
California, derived from Calida Fornax,
signifying fiery furnace." What bay it
was does not appear, but presumably it
was La Paz, near Cape St. Lucas, as Cor
tez discovered only the barren peninsula
of Lower California, along the western
coast of which there are no harbors, and
ho must have landed nt tho extreme
southern point. Had he progressed as
far as Santa Barbara, or even not be
eyond San Diego, ho would havo found
some more appropriate name for the love
ly land which is here so unjustly bur
dened with a misnomer.
How to Engrave Eggs.
A pretty process is described in this
way: Write upon tho egg shell with
wax or varnish or simply with tallow,
and then immerse the .egg in some weak
acid, such, for example, as vinegar,
dilute hydrochloric acid or etching
liquor. Everywhere where tho varnish
or wx has not protected the shell, tho
lime of tho latter is decomposed and dis
solved in the acid, and tho writing or
drawing remains in relief. Although tho
modus operandi presents no difficulty, a
few precautions must be taken in order
to be successful on a first experiment.
In the first place, as tho eggs that are to
be engraved are usually previously blown,
so that they may be preserved without
alteration, it is necessary before immers
ing them in the acid to plug up the
apertures in the extremities with a bit of
beeswax, and, moreover, as the eggs are
very light, they must be held at the bot
tom of tho vessel ful of acid by means
of a thread fixed to a weight or wound
round the extremity of a glass rod. If
the ncid is very dilute tho operation,
though it takes a littlo longer, gives
better nsults. Two or three minutes
usually suffice to give characters that
have sufficient relief.

Three Particular Points.
Point the First Brown's Iron Bitters is not an intoxicating com
pound. It is a tonic medicine, not a drink. It is a skillfully compounded
preparation made to restore strength and health; not a beverage to be sold
in bar-rooms and taverns. t
Point the Second. Brown's Iron Bitters is free from everything
injurious. The most delicate ladies and the most enfeebled infants may
use it with perfect safety and with great advantage. While it is powerful
in its remedial agency, it is gentle in its operation, restoring wasted strength
and imparting robust health in the most efficient manner. (
Point' the Third. Brown's Iron Bitters is made by the Brown
Chemical Company of Baltimore, a long-established house, whose reputa
tion is well-known to the business world and the general community.
