The Crusades were the most calami tous wars in the history of Europe They drained it of its blood and trea sure. The bones of millions whitened the soil. AVhole armies were annihi lated. Of the 200,000 who set off with l'eter, only 20,000 succeeded In reaching Constantinople, and only a small part of these returned to their homes. Of the 500,000 under Godfrey, of whom 150,000 were horsemen the flower of the European chivalry only 25,000 re mained after the conquest of Jeruss leni. Sixty-nine thousand perished in the siege of Antiocli. Only 10,000 out of GOO.OOU ever revisited their homes The second Crusade, formed by Ber nard, was even more unfortunate. Xot a single trophy consoled. Europe for the loss of 200,000 men. The third Crusade, of which Richard Cieur de Lion, I'hilip Augustus, and Frederic isarbarossa were the heroes, was equal ly unsuccessful. Saladlu reaped the real advantages. Jerusalem remained in the iiands of the Saracens, who had retakeu it. And so on, through all these wars, no trophies were gained, no permanent conquests remain. Their immediate effect was wholly evil, and the moral evils were worse than the physical. But it is impossible that such a series of wars, lasting six gene rations, encouraged by the Church and zealously entered into by moiiarchs and Statesmen, and sustained by popular enthusiasm, should not lead to impor t Hit results. War lias dignities, what ever may be its calamities; evils are overruled. Among the ultimate results was the weakening of Mohammedan power. Had it not been for the Cru sades the Saracen might have ad vanced to the conquest of Europe. It was Euroe against Asia. Better for the world that Asia was the battle ground. Again, the Crusades weaken ed Uie power of the feudal nobility; undermined the feudal system, which had became oppressive and tyrannical. The Barons and Knights exhausted their resources. The people were the gainers, who secured charters for their towns and various exemptions. Free cities arose, aud commerce and indus try received an impulse. The arts re- vided, and new fruits and vegetables were imported into Europe. And Eu rope learned some useful lessons that it was not easy to conquer Asia, any easier than it was for Asia to conquer Europe. Five millions perished. But out of destruction came creation. Let no one, however, justify war because it is overruled, because God is greater than devils. The tears and miseries of two centuries of war impress us with this fact it must needs be that offenses come, but woe unto him by whom they come. It is stated that sixteen vessels still remain "high and dry" upon the mea d ws in the vicinity of I'ort Xorrls, X. J., where they were driven by the tide during the late storm.

Carpenters, joiners, and cabinet-makers are frequently called upon to fit glass to window frames or sashes where no glass has been prepared to suit; under such circumstances it would be well to know how to cut glass to answer their purposes, without the aid of a diamond. Many persons may not be aware that glass can be cnt under water with ease, to almost any shape, by simply using a pair of shears or strong scissors. In order to insure success, two points must be attended to: first, and most import ant, the glass must be kept quite level in the water while the scissors are ap plied ; and secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to begin the cutting by taking ofi small pieces at the corners and along the edges, aud so reduce the shape gradually to that required, as, if any attempt is made to cut the glass all at once to the shap, as we should cut a card-board, It will n ost likely break ust where it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass cut better than others, the soft glasses being the best lor this purpose. The scissors ueed not be at all saarp, as their action does not appear to de pend on the state of the edge presented to the glass. When the operation goes on weli, the glass oreaks away from the scissors in small pieces in a straight line with the blades. 'This method of cutting glass has often been of service, when a diamond has been laid at hand, for cutting ovals and segments, and though the edges are not so smooth as might De desired for some purposes, yet it will answer in a great many cases. Tbe two hints given above, if strictly followed, will always insure success. Home successful experiments to deter mine the precise nature of the light which is indispensable to growing planets have lately been made in France by Monsieur Bert, lie finds that plants which are covered by red glass will continue to grow, though not so well as wben exposed to common sunlight; but plants which are kept under shades of green glass cuts off the least refrangible three fourths of red rays which form a constituent part of the ordinary light; and the experi ment shows that plant life cannot exist when deprived of those rays. On tbe other hand, tbe fact that they alone cannot Induce the most flourishing growth is demonstrated by the infer iority of the plants grown under the red glass to those kept in the open sun shine. Am an illustration of the meteorolog ical effect of ocean currents, Mr. J. K Laughton lately called attention In a lecture to some estimates made by Mr. (Troll of the heating influence of the Gulf stream. He calculated that toe surface water of the North Atlantic, if deprived of the Gulf stream, would be reduced to a temperature very far below tbe freezing point, and that the heat which this great current disperses into the air above it, it converted into pow er, would be equal to the horse-power of 400.000,000 of the largest iron-clad men of war. It is this heat which, car ried over the northwest of Europe, makes there green fields and open har bors during the winter, while in Labra dor and Newfoundland the earth is buried with snow and the harbors blocked with ice. Jh these days, wben the electric llgli appears to absorb attention, it is inter esting to find that an exhibition Is to be opened at .Bradford on the -i th of t eb- ruary of gas-burners, gas stoves, en gines and other appliances for the econ omic use of gas for domestic and man ufacturing purposes. The rate at which the use of electricity as an illuminating power is advancing cannot De more clearly shown than by the fact that M Carre, the carbon electrode maker, is manufacturing 2.000 metres of rod per day. At a recent meeting of the French Society of Hygiene, Dr. Landeer, in the course of some interesting observations on the 6ul ject 'of small-pox, said that be remarked that it was in bouses ex posed to tbe north that small-pox raged the least, and he suggested that inquiry should be made whether certain winds did not exercise a particular influence on tbe developement of the disease. 1 he Cooper Trade. Divid Justin Strong came to Detroit from Cleveland to work at the cooper trade. All the coops were full of coop ers, and David couldn't strike a job, His heart lost none of its sympathy, however. He was walking up Grand Kiver avenue when he saw a woman before him who tottered as she walked He had no doubt that she was 111, and he rushed forward and presented her his arm to lean on. The woman didn't happen to be ill, she happened to have a wooden limb, and the way she went for the sympathetic stranger made what hair she left on his head crawl down to his shoulders. An officer came up took ber story for it, and the cooper was barreled up. 'How could 1 tell that she had wooden leg?" asked the prisoner as the officer closed his testimony. "I don't know I'm sure," replied the court looking blankly upon tbe man. "That's what ails me I'm too sym pathetic," continued the prisoner as he carefully felt of the top of his head to see if the new hair had begun to grow in. "Then you feel for others woes, do you ? "ies I do. It brings tears to my eyes to hear a baby cry or to see a fat woman fall down. I've actually shed tears to see a horse limp along the street. I wouldn't be one of a crowd at a dog-fight, for all the money you could stack up in this room honest In jun, I wouldn't!" ".Prisoner, sympathy is a great thing, "slowly remarked the court,"but it is a good deal like sour cider good in its season. A man who weeps too often is as bad as a man who never weeps at all. Haven't you .burdens enough of your own to cry over ?" "I weep for all!" grandly replied the man. "Well, they need a weeper at the House of Correction, and I'll send you up for thirty days. The other priso ners will hail your apperance with de light, and you can shed tears and sing sad songs from sun to sun and far into the mystic shades of night." "I never will, Judge! I am but a humble worm of the dust, yet I will turn if trodden on ! If I am punished for feeling sad and sympathetic I will turn and be a demon, aud woe to the human being who gets in my path 1" "That will do, Mr. Strong," caution ed bis Honor. "If the worm wants to turn, let him turn, but he musn't throw any mud around here ! You will please walk in and sit down on the new crack er box Bijah stole somewhere last night." 1 he prisoner went in and sat down, but it could be seen that the iron had entered bis soul. Ere this he may have dauoieu his hands in some one s life- blood. .! Km Trial and von will m ajtinnir.ul ' A n.lrMii. rw 8.

Though tbe harness is an article of every-day use there are few who know bow to care for it so as to insure Its dur ability, and to keep it looking clean and neat. A harness that has been upon a horse's back several hours in hot or rainy weather, becomes wet, and If not properly cleaned, the damage to the leather is irreparable. If, after being taken from the horse in this condition, it is hung up in a careless manner, traces and reins twisted into knots, tbe saddle and bridles hung askew, the leather when dried retains the shape given It while wet, and wben forced to its original form damage is done the stitching and the leather, Those who use harness are not altogether in fault for this; they would take care of it if they knew the extent of damage that would result from their carelessness, and that they do not is the fault of the manufacturer. It is a mistaken policy that leads tbe manufacturer of any line of goods to neglect giving needed infor mation to the buyer. Every harness manufacturer would study his own in terests by accompanying each harness sold with printed rules for preserving the same. Tbe first point to be observed is to keep the leather soft aud pliable; this can be done only by keeping it well charged with oil and grease; water Is a destroyer of these, but mud and the sa line moisture from the animal are even more destructive. Mud, in drying, ab sorbs the grease and opens the pores of the leather, making it a ready prey to water, while tbe salty character of the perspiration from the animal Injures the leather, stitching and mountings. It therefore follows that to preserve a harness the straps should be washed and oiled whenever it has been moisten ed by sweat or soiled by mud. To do this effectually tbe straps should all be unbuckled and detached, then washed with a little water and crown soap, then coated with a mixture or neatsfoot oil and tallow and bs allowed to remain undisturbed until the water has dried out; then thoroughly rubbed with a woolen rag; the rubbing is important as it, in addition to removing the sur plus oil and grease, tends to close the liores and gives a finish to the leather. In haneinz harnesses care should be taken to allow all straps to hang their full length ; bridles, pads, gig saddles and collars should be hung upon forms of the shape of each. Light is essential in tbe care of leather, and when the harness closet is dark tbe door should be left open at least half of the time during each day. All closets should be ventilated, and when possible they should be well lighted. To clean plated mountings use a chamois with a little tripoli or rotten stone, but they should be scoured as little as possible. Rub ber covered goods are cleaned in the same way, Leather-covered needs to be well brushed aud rubbed with a woolen rag. If a harness is thoroughly cleaned twice a year, and when unduly exposed treated as we have recommend ed, the leather will retain its softness and strength for many years. Watering PxAKTS.-riantsset against walls and piazzas frequently suffer from want of water, even when ground near them is quite wet. Draw away tha soil around each plant so as to form a basin ; fill it with a bucketful of water allowing it time to soak gradually away, and, when the surface has dried a little, draw in loosely the soil over it, and it will do without water for some weeks. This applies to all plants wanting water through tbe season. If water is merely poured on the surface, it is made more compact by the weight of water, and the harder the soil becomes the easier it dries, and, the result is, the more water you give tbe more is wanted. These is onlv one other worse thing to plant on a farm than Canada thistles quack grass and that kind of noxious weeds, it is a mortgage. Once success fully planted itwill soon absorb thefarm If horses are raised for sale, and those are raised that are hard to dispose of at four years old at from 1 00 to $100, when with $15 or 23 additional expense. those can be raised that will sell rapid ly f(-r from $I2o to $loo, there is a leak on that farm that it will pay to stop. Prcnino Fruit Trees. Many or chards are injured by careless or igno rant pruning. If trees are kept proper ly pruned w hile young, there will be no large limbs to remove when the tree become old. It is the cutting o3 of large limbs that weakens the trees and injure theirproductiveness. There fore, watch your trees while small and prune carefully and with judgment. Soils, like silk, are best when fine. A part of the same field (similarly treated) when finely pulverized, will yield fully a third more of every kind of crop than the other part cultivated in a slovenly way. A Hill full of Reptiles. In the extension of the Central Branch road from BjJoit to Cawker City the line passes through the town of Glen Elder, Kansas. A short distance fron Glen Elder on the Solomon River, is a steep, rocky bluff, about fifty-five feet high, si large portion of which had to be blasted away to make room for the road bed. A few days ago, while tbe excavation was in progress, a blast of nitroglycerine caps and giant pow- der tore off an unusully large part of bluff, and down the declivity there come writhing and rolling a bunch of snakes, which Mr. Beeson assures us was almost as large as a barrel. They were of different varieties, rattlesnakes predominating, with racers, adders, garters, etc. When first disturbed from their warm bed they were active and dar.gerous, but coming out in the severe cold they were soon compara tively harmless, and were killed by tbe men without much trouble, or covered up in the dump by earth and stone. But this is a small portion of the story. Every day and every blast, since the first batch appeared, has brought an other huge bundle of reptiles. Every hour, a moving, writhing lump rolls down the hills only to separate at the foot, and what escape the laborer's pick and shovel, crawl off to get covered up in the dump. Thousands have been unearthed and killed, and every blast brings thousands more, far rivaling in number the famous snake den of Con cordia. Not a single case of snake bite has yet occurred, notwithstanding it is many times almost impossible to avoid stepping on them. Mr. Beeson says there are no unusual monsters among them, the greater majority of them be ing as large round as a man's wrist and about three or three and a half feet long. He also says that farmers for five miles around tell him that this is tbe regular winter den for these vene mous creatures, and that during the fall the snalies in that country, which are discovered, are headed In "the direction of the bluffs, and the only way they can be turned from their course is to kill them. It is said to be one of the most remarkable sights to look upon. and hundreds from tbe surrounding country visit the quarries to see the snakes.

Washing the Face. There are sev eral wrong ways of washing the face, and but one right. Towel, flannel, sponge are all out of place where the face is concerned. Tbe hands only should be used: Dr. Wilson's direc tions are : "Fill your basin about two thirds full with fresh water; dip your face in tbe water, and then your hands. Soap the hands well, aud pass the soaped hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Having performed this part of the operation thoroughly, dip the face in the water the second time, and rinse It completely; you may add very much to the luxury of tbe latter part of the operation by having a second basin ready with fresh water to perform a final rinse. But the care of the complexion requires that not only tbe face, but tbe whole body, shall be daily subjected to the bath. The sponge-baths, perhaps, are the best, and the temperature of the water must be regulated by the sensations of the bather, and by the season of the year. No one can deny the charm of clear.soft color in the cheeks and lips, and it must be an Incorrigible complexion, indeed, that will not yield to the measures 1 have recommended. Cocoas ct Cake. Four cupfuls of flour, three cupsful of sugar, one smail teaspoon ful of milk, five eggs beaten separately (leaving out the whites of three for the frosting), one-half cupful of butter, one small teaspoonful of cream Of tartar, and half that amount of soda, (or use Koyal baking powder, which is much nicer). Bake In jelly- cake pans. hen the cake Is partly cold, put between the layers a grated cocoanut, mixed with tbe beaten whites of three eggs and a large cupful of powdered sugar leaving out enough of the cocoanut to sprinkle over the top of tbe cake, with nothing but sugar mixed with it. If eggs are scarce, take two or three for the cake, and mix the grated cocoanut with half a sheet of Cooper's isinglass, melted with half a small cup ful of boiling water, and then stir thick with sugar; pour it over the cocoanut, mixing it well together, and spread be tween the cakes. Verbenas. Verbenas, to live and flourish in tbe house, must be raised from young shoots, not from layers from old plants. They require a cool room, heated to only about fifty degrees in tbe day, and falling to forty-five de grees at night, or even less than this. Give them plenty of air when there is no frost in it, and place them so that they will get all the sun possible. They like best a sandy soil, fertilized once a week with ammonia. This will cause them to grow rapidly, and put on dark, green foliage. Shower them every week to keep them free from tbe ver bena, mite and the green aphis. Finch them; back them well to keep them from growing straggling. They may be raised from seeds In tbe house, and the seeds must be soaked over night. Give them a great deal of sand, and plenty of moisture. Household Weights and Measures. Wheat flour, one pound is a quart; Indian meal, one pound two ounces is one quart; loaf sugar, broken, one pound is one quart; white sugar, pow dered, one pound one ounce Is one quart; best brown sugar, one pound two ounces Is one quart. Eggs, averasre size, ten are one pound, Liquid meas ures, sixteen tablespoonsful are a half plat. The Sleep of Children. The Herald of Health cautions parents not to allow their children to be waked up in the morning. Let nature wake them; she will not do it prematurely. Take care that they go to bed at an early hour let it be earlier and earlier, until it is found that they wake up themselves in full time to dress for breakfast. Stewed Cabbage. Shred a small cabbage as for cold slaw; bail it in water for twenty minutes, then drain thoroughlv and cover with sweet milk. Cook until tender, season to tate with butter, pepper and salt, and just before serving add the yolk of a beaten egg, mixed with a little sweet oream. To Clean Carpets. Shake and beat them well ; lay them upon the floor and tack them firmly; then with a clean flannel wash it over with one quart of bullocks gall, mixed with three quarts of soft cold water, and lub it off with a clean flannel or house cloth. Any par ticular dirty spot sucuid De rubbed with pure gall. For Burns. Strong, fresh, clear lime water mixed with as much linseed oil as It will cut ; shake the bottle before applying; wrap the burn In cotton wad ding saturated with the lotion; wet as often as it appears dry, without remov ing cotton from burn for nine days, wben new skin will probably have formed. - A Queer Electrical rhenomenon. A Nevada City lady of high social standing presents a singular case for the consideration of scientists. For many years past she has been afflicted with acute neuralgic pains in various parts of her body, aud some time since, hoping to find relief, resorted to the use of an electrical battery. She used the apparatus for six months, but found re lief. At tbe time nothing was noted of unusual character as the result, and al tuougn several months have since elapsed, it was only when the recent cold weather commenced that any ex traordinary symptoms followed. One night last week the lady had occasion to enter a dark room and picked ud a woolen coat that was lying there. As she did so she was both surprised and frightened to observe a bright light sur rounding the hand that held the gar ment. At the same time tbe electric currents passed along the arm, shock ing her quite severely. Wben her hus band was informed of the fact he dis credited its reality, thinking there was more imagination than anything else in It. So the next evening, to convince the incredulous better half, she turned the gas out in the room where she was sitting, and letting her hair down be gan combing it. a remarkable display of light was the result. The sparks flew in every direction, and there was a sharp crackling sound, as the teeth of the comb passed between the hairs. In laying her hauds upon iron tbe lady does not observe the peculiarities refer ed to; but the Instant she touches wool en cloth the fire begins to fly, and the shocks follow one another in rapid succession. The Rev. Henrt Ward Beeches, in his lecture on "The Wastes and Bur den of Society," claims "man's natural life to be 80 years, and as the average life is but 33 years, there must be a waste of 47 years." There is much of truth in this statement. If a man be unfortunate in business, it is attributed to the violation of some commercial law. Now, if a person be taken off in the prime of life, ought it not to be attrib uted to the violation of some phuaioloai- eal law t If people only knew better. they would live better and longer; but how can they profit by that which they know not of? The only popular work that meets this great want Is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad viser. In it, the great problems of dis ease and health are fully dlscussed.The work contains over 900 pages and 20 colored plates and wood cuts. Price, $1.60 (post paid). Address the author, R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y. YOCTH'3 COLUMN. Johnny's Chanty. The big boys in the block where Johnny lived worked very hard that winter's day in building a snow man. All the nleht before there had been a pitiless nor-easter, which had brought the snow in such quantities that the streets were choked, and all noises and voices had a muffled sound, as If nrsi they had keen wrapped in a blanket De fore they had dared to venture out. Johnny had done very little towards making tbe man nothing more than to roll the two balls that were stuck on for eyes bee fuse be had the strangest feeling of pity for it. Somehow, be felt a great awe as he saw the frozen giant grow into clumsy shape bigger and bigger with each new mass of snow heaped en it, now in the same manner that bav is stowed away in a mow, and now witn the help of step-ladders. He had stood by with his cold hands in bis pockets until bis toes in nis noots were like so manv little lumps of ice. At last It was done, just as tbe blue twllieht came on. and tbe lamp lighter came to light the lamps close by, so that tbe glare might shine full on uie nuge ngure. Johnny turned slowly toward home for bis supper. But he was very grave and as soon as he had finished his por ridge and, he stole softly up stairs to bis mother's chest, took a warm shawl, crept out of the basement door, and ran down to the corner where the neg lected statue stood, like a ghost trozen Into a nest while it walked. Johnny was very afraid of two things the dark, and a policeman. But now be had no fear. He wanted to cover up the Door old fellow, who must be hav ing such a dismal time of it out alone, and without clothes in a cold winter's nlebt. Just as he had reached the spot the watch went by, muffled up in a great coat. Johnny was too small to reach much higher than to the snow man's knees, so he ealled out to tbe policeman : "Say, sir, won't you please to wrap this around lunar" The policeman stopped and Inquired what was wanted, and soon learned how Johnny's heart had been moved te cbarity. His first question then was, "Where dovoulive?" "Only up here" said Johnny; "won't vou Dlease to wrap him upr" "Oh," said the man, "this shawl isn't large enough. Tou run home with it now, and I'll sea that this old fellow don't get cold. I'll keep him company all night, and you'll find him all right in the morning." Johnny was reassured, and let the dreaded brass-buttoned man lead him home to the very basement door, with the heavy shawl dragging at his side. Mamma was up stairs, and nobody saw him when he came in, which was rather lucky on the whole, for they would have feared some dreadful thing had happened if they had seen their little boy led along by a policeman. Don't you think that it must have been a very warm little heart that want ed to cover up from the cold even a snow man r Xevtr Do It. Never reply to father saucily. Never speak te mother unkindly.

The Farmer and His Money. King Frederick of Prussia, when he was out riding one day, saw an old farmer who was plowing his field and singing cheerfully over his work." "You must be well off, old man, cried the King. "Does this acre be. long to you on which you so industri ously labor?" "No, sir," replied the man, who of course had no idea that he was sjieak ing to the King; "1 am not so rich as that; I plow for wages." "How much do you earn each day ! asked the King. "Eight groschen," returned the man. That would be about ninety-five cents of our monev. "That is very little," said the King "can you get along with it?" ''Get along! yes indeed! and have something left." "How do you manage?" "Well,".said the farmer, smiling, "1 will tell you. Two grocshen are for myself and wife; With two I pay my debts, and two I give away for the Lord'ssake." "This is a mystery which I cannot solve," said the King. "Then I must solve it for you," said the farmer. "I have two old parents at home, who kept me and cared for mc when I was young and weak, and needed care. Now that they are old and weak, I am glad to keep and care for them. This is my debt, and it takes two groschen a day to pay it. Two more I sjiend on my childrens' schooling. If they are living when their mother and I are old, they will keep us and pay back what I lend. Then with my last two groschen I sup port my two sick sisters who cannot support themselves. Of course I am not compelled to give them the money, but I do it for the Lord's sake." "Well done, my man," cried the King, as he finished ; "now I am going to give you something to guess. Have you ever seen me before ?" "No," said the farmer. "In less than five minutes you shall see me fifty times, and carry in your pocket fifty of my likenesses." This is indeed a riddle which I can not solve," said the farmer. "Then I will solve it for you," said the king; and with that he put his hand into his pocket and pulling out fifty gold pieces, placed them in the hand of the farmer.

Ax English lady of high rank and exquisite taste, haviag read an adver tisement of a London silversmith, in which it was said that by the electro plating process waiters and other arti tides might be plated so that by no possible means could they be distin guished from real silver, sent her three foctmen and page to be electroplated by the advertiser. A person who was recently called into court for the purpose of proving the correctness of a surgeon's bill, was asked by the lawyer whether "the doc tor did not make several visits after the patient was out of danger?" "No," re plied the witness, "I considered the pa tient in danger as long as the doctor continued his visits." Tne property advertised in to-day's paper at Oiney, 22d ward, Philadelphia, is finely located just outside of the built up portion of the city, and will soon be wanted at a large increase of price, for building lots.

Another natural history fact one swallow doesn't make a spriug, but one blacksmith can. Man appoints, but woman disap. points. Tall Maa. Just after I left Honecoye Falls, a tall man sat down in the seat in front of me. I had noticed him standing; wearily about on the platform, and 1 pitied him. My heart was full of sym pathy for hiiu. I am always sorry for a tall man. Sometimes, when I gut before an audience, and have to stand on my tiptoes to look over the footlights, 1 wish 1 was a trifle taller than I am. But this longing is only momentary. It passes away as soon as I see an unu sually tall man. You see, a very tall man is always pursued, haunted by one unvarying joke. Every short or ordi nary sized man that approaches him throws back his head, affects to gaze up into the heavens with a very painful effort, and asks, "Isn't it pretty cold up where you are?" Just watch the next short man you see meet a tall one and see if this conundrum doesn't fol low the first greeting. Just watch and see if you do not ak it yourself. And this must be dreadfully wear-in on the tall man. I have observed that as a rule big men, tall men, are good-natured. It is we little fellows who have waspish tempers. So the tall man never resents this venerable joke by sitting down on the man who gets it off. He smiles drearily, and with a weary effort to appear interested, and tries to look as though he had never heard it before. It must be a perfect torture for the tall man to hear this question fifty times a day for thirty or forty years. Some times, when I hear a dozen men ask a tall man of my acquaintance this ques tion, in direct succession, and see him endure it so patiently, I wish I was the Colossus of Rhodes, and a little man four feet eleven inches and a half would come up to m: some day when I felt right good, and stare up at me with a grin longer than his body, and ask me If it wasn't pretty cold up there." and I would hold him up by the neck, and I would swing my brazen leg until it got the motion and impetus of a walk ing beam, and then I would kick the little fellow so high that he could read the name of the streets on tbe street lamps in Uranus, and I would sarcasti cally shout after him, "No, it's red hot !" Have tail men no rights that we, who live eight or ten inches nearer the earth, are bound to respect?
