WAIT A BIT. When Johnny came a-eotirting, I thought him overbold, For I was but a young thing, And he w; s not very old. And though I liked him well enough I fent him on his way, With "Wait a bit, bide a bit, Wait a week and a day?" When Johnny passed me in the lane, And pleaded i'or a kiss, And vowed he'd love me evermore For granting of the b!i»<-: Ai though I'd liked it ovorwel 1 , I ran from him away, With "Wait a bit, biJc a hit, Wait a week and a day!" When Johnny fell a-ranting, With "Jenny, be my wife?" And vowed 1 never should regret, However long my life, Although I liked it best o' all, I turned from hira away, With "Wait a bit, bide a bit, Wait a week an<l a da>!'' Oh, Johnny was a ninny: He took me at my word! » And he was courting another, The next thing that 1 heard. Oh, what a ninny was Johnny, To mind me when I'd say: "Wait a bit, bide a bit, Wait a week and a di'y!" Iltigii-ho, I've met my Johnny, I gin him a blink o' my eye, And then he fell a-raviug, For want o' my love he'd die! I ne'er could be so cruel! So I set the wedding day, With "Haste a bit, nor wasle a bit, There's danger in delay!" BUTLER COUNTY. Her Gas, Coal and Oil. GAS More tban 20 years ago petroleum was found in the oil fields of Venango county, which joins Butler county on the north, and during the oil excite ment which followed and extended to Butler county, gas was found in great abundance, but attracted little attention till within the last few years. The producers however have been using it for running their pump ing wells for at least 17 or 18 years in the counties of Venango and But ler, and for several years farmers have used it for heating and light. The Carbon Black works, loeated a few miles south of Butler, have been making lamp black for 10 or 12 years and about five years ago the citizens of Butler obtained a charter and formed a gas company, furnishing for the people the heat aud light which ever since has taken the place of coal aud artificial gas, at less than one third the cost lor the amount of heat produced, dispensing with smoke and ashes, proving to be one of the great est discoveries of the age, opening within the last 3 or 4 years anew era in the history of petorlium. The cheapness of this product as a fuel gives new impetus to manufacturing in this part of the country because no section without this product can in any way compete with a county whose every hill abounds with this snbstance, which when brought to the surface can be utilized at a mere nominal cost. The use of gas is no new experiment in the Butler oil field; it has been tried and found to far exceed anything heretofore discov ered for heating furnaces and running machinery, and its continuing for at least 15 years shows the durability of it. The pressure iu this region is so great aud the quality to good that it seems to be almost iuexhaustable And while there are perhaps many prob lems with regard to it yet unsolved by the scientific world yet enough is already known to show Its incalcula ble value to a manufacturing commu nity. Closely allied with this subject is that of the COAL FIELDS OF IJUTLER COUNTY. Which ars it would Heem but an ex tension of the vaat coal fields at and around I'itthburg. Though the strata Bcemß more broken and scarcely equal in quality, yet it is of the same for mation, a good quality of bituminous coal. This belt extends northwest ardly from the Pittsburg region through the southern part of Butler, embracing the most if not the whole width of the county, extending clear through to Mercer county, with sur face and lower veins varying from one foot to G or 7 leet in thickness of good marketable coal as free perhaps from Bulphur aud other deleterious substances as most other bitnminous coal mines of our country. Many mines have beeu opened throughout the county of Butler and the majority of them are in working order. lu aud arouud C'oaltown and Ililliards, on the north, large slopes and shafts have been put in working order and this product is shipped to other mar kets in the north and west But of lato years the local coal trade of this county has been some what deteriorat ed by the use of natural gas,produced to such an extent as to render any other fuel for home consumption ot less vaiue. With these great sources of heat and light perhaps no section iu our country offers the same induce ments for the cheap running of heavy machinery, and at a mere nominal cost, aa docs the town of Butler and vicinity. We have substances here sufficient to feed furnaces aud forges for centu ries to come. The S. &A. it. It. with its branches to Ililiiard and Coaltown makes the transportation of coal to its junction with "the**other roads at Butler easy, and if one of these products fail to supply our man ufacturing establishments we have the other iu great abundance which iu our opinion insures for Butler a better out-look than other loealities less for tunate in their natural resources, and the one great barrier, viz: the expense to manufacturers in creating motive power to a very great extent taken away. PETROLEUM, The oil production of JJutler coun ty, while not as large as pome other sections, stands nevertheless among the large and productive fields of our country. Oil was discovered iu aud around l'etrolia, Greece City and Millerstovvn several years ago, of good quality,at an average depth aud while the wells in this county may not be as large as a rule as in some other territory, they are reputed to hold out much longer than in most of the other oil regions. Some of the wells have been pumping for 10 years and still said to be paying. Many of the small wells that produced but lit tle 8 or 10 years ago have kept up to nearly the same standard till the pre sent time. The oil fields of this county have ever since the discovery j of oil here offered fair inducements to ! operators, So that even iu the pro duction of oil Butler county takes no mean place iu the record of produc tion but presents a creditable page ia the history of petroleum. D. She Found Her Mamma The northbound train had left Austin, and Conductor Hughes was making his usual round collecting tickets. He stopped in front of a lit tle girl who was crouched iu u corner near the stove. Notwithstanding that a cold northwester was blowing, she was thinly ciad in torn ca i.-o dress, and her feet were destitute of shoes and stockings. .As she appeared to be alone, the conductor asked: "Have you a ticket, little girl?" "What is that?" "Pidu't whoever put you cn the car give you a ticket?" "Nobody put us on the car. We came all by ourselves, didn't we dolly," she said, hugging a dilapidat ed old doll. "Didn't your papa put you on the car?" "No, we didn't tell him we were coming, did we dolly." The conductor took the little girl's hand in his. It was burning hot. Her thin features were flushed and her eyes were glistening with fever. "Your clothes are tin. Don't you feel cold sometimes?" ' Yes, we ffel so cold, but we hug up close together, don't we dolly. VVhen 1 find mamma she'll give us some new clothes and some new shoes." "Where is your mamma?" "I don't know, but I'ii find her. She told me to come to her. She came into my room last night and put her hands on me and kissed me just as she used to before she went to sleep iu a lon# box and went off on the railroad " The conductor was puzzled. Hid the fever aff-.cted the child's head t "I think you are lost little girl. What is your name?" "My name is Fanny, but mamma used to call me 'little pet.' " "I'll send you back to your papa. You iiave got a pnpa, haven't you, in Austin?" A look of terror was frozen on the little pinched features. Two thin anus were thrown around the conduc tor's neck. "Please don't send me back to pa," she said in piteous accents. "My new mamma will whip me and lock me up in dark closet. Oh, please don't send me back! I'll be so good, I'll give you dolly. No; I can't give you dolly. Mamma gave me dolly, but I'll let you play with her. Please let me slay with you till I Gad n<y mamma." "This is a bad case of step mother," gaid the conductor to himself. "This ia some poor, neglected little creature. I've a notion to take her home aud leave her with my kids. One more won't muk3 much difference." ' I'll not sead you home. Just lie down here," he said, fixing her up a place tc lie on one of the seats. The little'fvaif was contented and happy. She laid down and the con ductor covered her with his overcoat. Once or twice as he passed by, he heard Lis little dead-head passenger talking to her dolly about what thsv would do when they found mamma. At Taylor the north-bound and south-bound trains meet, and the pas sengers got supper. As soon a3 Con ductor Hughes stepped on the plat form the operator called to him: "Here, Bill, here is a telegram for you." He opened the envelope and read "Put runaway child iu charge of conductor of south-bound train for Austin." "Poor little creature," he muttered; "she has a hard time of it in this world; but I'll wake her up and give her some supper before I send her home to her folks." He turned back into the car and threw back the overcoat from the sleeping child. She was hugging her dolly to her breast. There were tears on her pale thin cheeks, but a happy smile on her pinched features. "Little pet" had found her mamma. —Alex fiweel in N. Y. Mercury. Starvation in Labrador. Rev. F. W. Colley, missionary at Labrador, has written a graphic ac count of heart-rending destitution pre vailing there. He has traveled the whole coast and declares that words cannot describe the sufferings of the poor, lie tells of families of helpless old people and equally helpless chil dren enduring the rigors of the late winter with the thermometer 38° be low zero, living in huts, sleeping on bare grounds, covered only with old sails and subsisting on rock cod, the poorest kind of codfish known, and on hard-tack supplied by the Govern ment. To catch the fish the perish ing people had to travel five miles over bare rocks. Bread, tea, molas ses, flour, meat of any kind or any of the necessities of life are unknown to them. Slow starvation had driven the father of one family mad and the poor wretch had brcn trying to eat his own boots. The puny cod for breakfast, dinner and supper, weeks upon weeks and mouLhs upon months, while keeping the poor wretches from actual death, only served to be a daily torture to them, and was of itself en ough to drive the whole population into raviug maniacs. Missionary Colley declares that he was implored for help at every sec ond house visited in all the vast re gion. The inhabitants were driven to such desperate straits that wives and mothers even had to sell their wedding rings lor bread. At Grady's. Stable Bay, llocky Bay, Spotted Is land and Seal Island whole families were slowly starving in January. llow they existed through the iviuter God only knows. The scanty aid sent by the Newfoundland Govern ment was distributed before half the winter was over. Mr. Colley declares that only fear of a repetition of the ter rible sufferings induces him now to make the terrible facts public. The missionary concludes a three column narrative by demanding in the name of humanity that the New foundland Government immediately send relief to that district and also provide means for transporting the wretched people to some other coun try. —The charge of f»0 ceuts udrnisaion to one of Sam Jones' meetings in Baltimore cut his audience down from 5,000 to less than 100.

Abigail Stork, a yonng and prepos sessing girl of the Fifth ward, is a somnambulist, and a most thorough one a;, that, says the Toledo Blade She has been known to walk a dis tance of two miles at a stretch with out wtikiug up, and on one occasion she frightened a sleigh load of people, who were returning late at night from a party, half out of their wits. It was some time before Miss Abigail's parents learned of their daughter's peculiarity, and ever after they kept close watch of her. Xow, Miss Stark was courted by a young man from the Third ward, John Derby, a likely fellow, but for some reason he and the old folks could not get along to gether, and the upshot of the matter was that he wa3 denied admission to the Stark mansion, a proceeding which quite disgusted the youthful lovers. But they were not to be outdone so easily, and from the time of the estrangement between the young man and the old folks the girl seemed to lake a certain fancy lo an aunt who resides in Lower Town. Strange to say, the coincidence in time did not manifest itself to the Stark elders, and they merely expressed delight that their daughter should take pleas ure in visiting her aunt, who was Mrs. Stark's favorite sister. One night, while John and Abigail were returning from a party, John proposed that they should get married without further delay. He said there was no prospect of Abigail's parents ever liking him, aud so long as the climax had to be reached, he wanted to reach it by the shortest way. He did not believe in long courtships. To all of which Abigail replied that it would be impossible for them to get married without thev eloped, for her aunt would never sanction their marriage unless her parents gave their consent. "Let's elope, then," said John; "I am heartily .sick and tired of the sub terfuge which we are practicing upon your parents. Let us get married, and then if they do not care to see us, we can live without them." Abigail hesitated before taking so important a step. She wanted time to think it over. Of course she ex pected to marry him, even if her par ents did object, but the proposition was so sudden that she would a.-ik him to wait until the next evening for her answer. "I have already engaged the min ister," said John, as he bade her fare well at the gate, "and he promises to marry us, if he has to get out of bed at midnight to do it." When he had left Abigail be walk ed slowly up town, picturing in his mind the happy home he would have, wiih Abigail aa its mistress. The bright fire, the cozy chair, the com fortable slippers, aud all the etcetera? that go to make up the picture of a perfect home came up before him. Suddenly it occurred to him that he had promised to call upon his chum, who lived near the aunt's residence, and close up a business matter of some importance. Although it was late he knew his chum's penchant lor late hours, und therefore had uo scruples. 110 retraced his steps, and was about to ring the bell of his friend's house when ho happened to see a woman coming up the street. The figure was so familiar that he invol untarily sought the sidewalk. As the figure approached the belief that it was Abigail became a certainty, and he hastened forward to meet her. He \7as not aware, so absorbed had ho been in making family pictures, that one hour had passed since he had left Abigail. In his impetuous way he had but one thought, and that vva.s that Abigail had concluded to accept his proposition and had come out in the hope of overtaking him. Hut he was surprised at her silence When he spoke to her she answered in quite as endearing terms as ho had used in addressing her; then she took his arms, and the two walked rapidly away. JIo asked her if she had real ly decided to marry him that night, and was sure she said yes. Anyway he was so overjoyed that he nearly forgot the way to the minister's. AH was dark when ho got there, but a vigorous ringing soon brought the divine to the front door. John was not long in explaining the situation, and the minister soon had the front room in order for the couple's recep tion. lie also pressed his wife into service as a witness, and in a very brief period the knot wa3 tied aud John wa3 happy. Abigail bad answered all questions properly, and was apparently as hap py as John over tha result. She had not withdrawn her veil during the ceremony, nor had John in his rapt ures thought of asking her to do so. They decided that she should return to her aunt's house and remain there for a day or two until the final prep arations should be made, when they should go into their own home. When John loft Abigail for tho second time that night ho felt that he no longer held the uncertain position of a lover, but that she was his wife by divine decree. Visions of tho per fect home, of the comfortable slippers, cosy chair and warm fire followed him home and became a large part of bis dreams when he dropped off. And all the next day they still occu pied his thoughts. In the evening he was at Abigail's side. His first words were: "My wife now, in spite of every one." She looked at him as though she thought him crazy. "Your wife, John?" she exclaimed. "But I have not accepted your proposition yet. You presume too much, sir," ami she drew herself up in a mock defiant manner. "You are a Dig tease," said John, "but I could scarcely believe my senses." "What are you talking about, Jobu?" looking at him seriously. "Why, our marriage," replied he, also serious. "It seems to me that I did dream something about getting married," said Abigail. "Dream about it! You amaze mo. If 1 remember aright, we had all the paraphernalia for a genuine wed ding," said John. ''There was the minister, his wife as a witness, and we two, who were married. And here is the certificate, if you do not believe it," and he drew that precious document from his pocket. Abigail was astounded. To think that she had *boeu married without being cognizant of it, was too much even for her strong mind, aud she was more than half inclined to cry. Thea the ridiculous feature occurred to her, i and she was for some time in midair I between laughing and crying l . When she hid calmed down and her mind became settled the true stutus of af fairs began to dawn upon her. Hith erto she had never mentioned to John her somnambulistic escapades because she had been half ashamed of them, but now that she was married she thought it her duty to explain. She told hiui all about it, and how on the that he had left her at the srate shd had to her room, and beiug unusually tired, had laid down upon the bed without undress ing, and bad fallen nsieep. The cir cumstances of the marriage had all come to her as a dream, and when she arose that morning she hud not given the matter a second thought. But now that he had recalled the mar riage, she remembered all the detrils. Overreached Himself. Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, was conversing in 0. street car not a#o with Seuator Cockrell,of Missouri,when the judge re marked, falliug into a reminiscent mood, as the Boston Journal's corre spondent tells the story: "It is singu lar what shrewd plans are resorted to to ascertain the way the Court is in clined to decide cases. Some years ago we had the silver mine case before us for decision. At that time we bad not our own marshal. The district marshal was the marshal of the court. An immense amount was involved in the case, and there was naturally a good deal of anxiety to know how the court would decide it. The marshal went up to Brother now dead—as pure and honorable aud unsuspicious a man as over lived —aud said: "Well, judge, I presume we will have a decision soon in the silver mine case?' 'Yes,' sr»id Broth er , 'very soon ' 'I suppose Judge Clifford will write the opin ion?' 'Oh, yes,' said Brother , 'Brother Clifford will be the organ of the court.' This was all the marshal wanted to know, for Justice Clifford's habit was to break in upon an argu ment with queries which clearly in dicated the drift of his mind on the questions under discussion,and when the marshal heard that Justice Clif ford was to write the opinion he knew a3 well as if he had been told in as many words that the decision would be in favor of the mining com pany, so he went to work and bought up all the stock he could on a margin. 'And made a pile of money, I sup pose?' Seuator Cockrell asked, 'Well no he didn't,'replied Judge Miller with a hearty laugh. The re sources of the mine had been so ex aggerated in the course of the argu ment that the stock had risen on the maiket beyond its real value, and after the decision of the Court it fell instead of advanced, and the marshal lost all he had put up. 'Upon the whole,'added the Judge, 'I am inclin ed to think very highly of the purity of the American bench. There are cases we decided last year, which would have enabled any member of the Court by simply taking advan tage of the knowledge he had of the views of the majority—' 'Or hinting them to his wife, or some confidential friend,' interrupted Seuator Cockrell. 'Yes, in that or any other way,' con tinued Judge Miller, 'he could have put a million dollars in his pocket, but here we are just as we were last year, and no whisper of anything of that kind has ever been heard." Another Land Ruling, WASHINGTON, July IS.—A general principle of long standing and consid erable importance in the administra tion of public matters is reaffirmed by Acting Secretary Muldrow in his rul ing upon the case of James Young, a homstead entryman of Salt Lake City. Its purport is that no amount of cul tivation and improvement and no showing of good faith in other re spects can atone for the lack of actual residence upon the land sought to be secured, and that actual residence does not give validity to the claim ex cept in so far as it shows an Intention to make such residence permanent beyond the acquirement of title Young had cultivated fifty acres of his claim, constructed irrigating ditches and constructed a house in which he personally lived. Ilis im provements were valued at from SI,OOO to $1,200. Ilis family, how ever, the place c wnedby him half a mile distant, and it was in evidence that he designed abandoning his new claim as a place of residence as he had made his title secure, A contest was made by one Van Os trum, a professional contestant, who purposes gaining some preference righLs and selling them out. The lo cal officers and commissioner decided for Youag and against Van Osti um. The acting secretary orders a notifica tion of this decision. He says that while Van Ostrum caunot acquire any rights in the matter the govern ment is not estopped from acting up on the information it has gained, and thatjjjhe directs the cancellation of Young's claim. The geueral princi ple influences the decision in the ease of Frank Youag, a homesteader, of Huron, D. T. lie has three yoara of military service to his credit and was, therefore, not required to live more than two years upon his claim. He left his family in Illinois and only spent about half of hi 3 time on the claim, rendering it a matter of doubt whether he ever changed his resi dence from Illinois, The local offi cers held his final proof sufficient, but the commissioner reversed the find ing and held the entry for cancella tion. The acting secretary gives the claimant the benefit of the doubt, in asmuch as there is no adverse claim, orders that he be given another op portunity to furnish final proof within the lifetime of his entry.-* A Farm Laborer's Estate. Robert S. Frazier. Esq., of Pitts burgh, has filed his report as deputy escheator of the estate of Jacob I)ietl, of Wexford, Pine township, Alle gheny county. Dietl was a Bavar ian, u njjjiarricd, and 52 years old. For many years he worked as a farm la borer, and accumulated $1,400, which he invested in judgments. When he died he left no will, and had no rela tives to tuke his property. 11. S. Siil then notified the Attorney General of the effects, and Mr. Frazier was ap pointed to take testimony, and, if he found no heirs, to escheat the eatate to the Commonwealth, Theescbeater finds that Dietl has no relatives in this country or in Bavaria, and, if this report is sustained, the estate will be confiscated to the Stale, less one-tlurd, which goos to Sill as iu iormer. Dangers ol Baldness. "Bald-headed men die sooner than those who possess a full head of hair," s; id a physician to a New York Mail and Express reporter the other day. "Then, doctor, your life is shorten ed," interposed the reporter, "I have adopted a protector, you see; the skull-cup. If I have no hair to cover my cranium, Ido the next best thing md use a warm cip. I never go bald headed, no matter where I am, and by that means I uever take.cold. The majority of men who have bald Leads wear noth itg to protect the exposed surface, not even a wig. The result is many of them take cold and go off with pneu monia or contract some deep seated disease like bronchitis or consump tion. Yet if I told a bald-headed man to wear something warm on the ex posed spot he would, nine times out of ten, pay no attention to my warn iug. It is a growing cause of increas ed mortality, and deserves great at tention, both from scientists and em pirical layman, liaid heads are the signposts of high testhetical civiliza tion, and at the same time the epi taphs of a physical degeneration. Luxury, ease, high living and heredi tary characteristics have to be taken into ccnsideralion when analyzing the problem of bald heads. If the futu-e race is to be devoid of hair, then it must necessarily be a short lived one, because more susceptible to sickness, I have noted many cases of pneumo nia, aud where the patient is a male over forty years old the proportion is over one-half in favor of his being bald headed. Whenever I have a bald-headed patient I never rest until he consents to wear a skull-cap. If the hair was no protection to a man he would have baen created without any, and his skin mude tough and thick to stand the weather. The wise provisions made to insure perfect physical comfort never contemplated a period it the world's history when man should go about with his head slick as a peeled onion. The man who does it repeatedly sooner or later pays the penalty. "Cesar was bald in his last days aud shielded his cranium by wearing a crown. In those days, when hats were not worn, few people were bald, and those who were attempted to con ceal the fact. It is said that Cie3ar wore the crown to hide his bald head, aud it may be added correctly that he did it for comfort as well. Women do not sufl'er from the exposure of bald beads because they wear false head rigging which generally pro tects the scaip. Then females are not predisposed to baldness as males. Nature has given them an abundance of hair, and those who grow baid bave some kind of skin trouble. Yet there are more bald-headed women than the world imagines. My argu ment against going about the scalp exposed is merely from a hygie nic point of view and not because of any false notions about how it makes a person look, Old men, middle aged men, gilded youths, and unfor tunate womankind, if you are bald, don't grieve over the inevitable, but wear something warm and upon all occasions. Your days will be longer in the land and your progeuy will be leas apt to inherit the hairless tenden cy- Reviving a Bride. Assistant Secretary Thompson, of tie Treasury Department, is said to be aa expert in reviving swooning persons, writes a correspondent of the Baltimore American, but not un til recently did he have an opportuni ty to display his skill in that line for the benefit of his official associates. A party of New England excursion ists were passing through the depart ment, among them being a newly married couple. In consequence of over-exertion or the poor sanitary condition of the Treasury, the young bride fell in a faint immediately in frontjjof Mr. Thompson's office. Hear ing the commotion in the corridor, Mr. Thompson opened his door, and, taking in the situation at a glance, directed that the fainting lady be laid upon the sofa in his room. The young husband was almost frantic, and with an utter disregard for the presence of strangers, ho endeavored to restore her to consciousness by pressing her to his bosom and caress ing her extravagantly. Mr. Thomp son suggested his infallible remedy of stretching the pa.ient upon her back with her head downward, so as to al low the blood to circulate to the brain, The young husband at first remonstrated against what seemed to him to be treatment too heroic for his better half, but he finally consented, and in a few moments the young lady was restored and the happy couple re joined their friends, and continued their sight-seeing expedition. Mr. Thompson says he obtained his expe rience in faintiog cases from old Dr Gittings, of Columbia, S. C. The doctor was called upon to administer to a lady who bad fain! ad. Upon his arrival he found the lady stretched out upon a sofa, with a high pillow under her head. Tho doctor's first instructions were to "take the pillow from under her head and place the family Bible under her heels, and she will be all right in a moment." Mr. Thompson never forgot this remedy, and ho has practiced it repeatedly with great success. Arresting a Man in Church. The worst thin? I think I ever did was to arrest a man iti church. I took him right of! his knr?e*. It was a fuiiuy case. I was chief of police of Oil City, and there had been a sys tematic series of burglaries from the cars of the I'ennsyl vania road, tho robbers doing their work in such a manner that it baflled the detectives. A whole car load of fine shoe 3 had been side-tracked at Oil City, and while there a case of fiue shoes had been stolen from the car. There was no clew to the thief, and although wo suspected the members of a pretty tough gang there was no proof. One morning I saw ODO of this gang walk ing along the street, aud I thought I'd get close to him, for it struck me he had a new pair of shoes on. He got on to me aud popped into a church. It was Sunday morning, and the church was crowded. Ho went in and knelt down near tho door, and I saw tho bottoms of his shoes, with the nmrk of the company whq had shipped the stolen articles Uruuil ed in the shank. I clapped him on the shoulder and took him outside. Thou I placed him uuder arrest, and he gave the entire gang away, so that we had no difficulty in breaking it up for Q<)o<l,—Qlobc l)emo<:ral. Of a Very Inquiring Mind. Oje day we sat in a car seat on a southern railroad behind a pale, care worn lady, who was talkiug to a lit tle boy. As tha little buy was of a very inquiring mind, and everything seemed to attract his attention, I I could not help listening to some of his questions. "What is that, auntie?" the little boy commenced, pointing to a stack of hay. "Oh, that's hay,defr," answered the careworn lady. "What is hay, auntys"' "Why, hay is hay, dear." "But what is it made of?" "Why, hay is made of dirt and water and air." "Who makes it?" "God makes it." "Does he make it in the daytime or in the night?" "In both, dear," "And Sundays?" "Yes, all the time." "Ain't it wicked to make hay on Sunday, auntie?" "Oh, I don't know. I'd keep still, Willie, that's a dear boy; auntie is tired." After remaining quiet a moment Willie broke out: •'Where do stars come u'om aun tie?" ■'l don't know; nobody knows." "Did the moon lay 'em?" "Yes, I guess so," replied the wicked lady. "Can the moon lay eggs, too?" "I suppose so. Don't bother me." Auother short silence, when Willie broke out: "I think a whale could lay eggs— don't you auntie?" "Oh yes, I gues3 so,"said the shame less woman. "Did yon ever see a whale on his nest?" "Oh, I gue3s so!" "Where?" "I mean no. Willie, you must be quiet; I'm getting crazy." "What makes you crazy, auntie?" "Oh dear! you ask so many ques tions." "Did you eyer see a little fly eat sugar?" "Yes." "Where?" "Willie, sit down on the seat and be still or I'll shake yon. Now, not another word." And the lady pointed her finger sharpely at the little boy, as if she were going to stick it through him. If she had been a wicked woman she would have sworn. There are eisjht million boys like Willie in the Unit ed States, and half as many in Eug lana.—Texas Ski/tings. Does Labor Produce All the Wealth? Rev. Dr. G. M. Steele, in Work and Wages : "Is it really tjue that labor produces all tho wealth of the world? Of course, by labor here is meant the putting forth of physical energy, otherwise the succeeding sen tences have no meaning. Does any one who thinks at all about the sub ject believe that the great factories, the docks, the vast buildings of stone and brick and iron in our great cities, the railroads, the mighty steamships, the complicated machines and innum erable other structures are the result of manual labor alone? Suppose there is a line of railway fifty miles in length to be built, and five thous and steady, and reliable laborers are told to go and built it. Will they be able to built the bridges, to make the deep cuts, to construct the cause ways through treacherous swamps, to calculate the grades, and do other equally difficult parts of the work? How many ordinary wage laborers would it take to produce a Corliss en gine, the first of its kind? No; there must be much besides muscular effort in order to attain these results. There must be toil of brain, long and pro tracted, aud often exhausting thought, sometimes accompanied by great hardships. In order to extensive production there ure required great mental qualities, some of thorn of a rare kind. There is needed puwer to contrive, to invent, to organize, to di rect, or little can be achieved. Tho man who blows the organ might claim that he produces all the music of the instrument. It isjtrue he is generally an essential condition, but not by any means the only or the most essential condition, No more is manual labor the only or the most essential condi tion of the production of great wealth. She Sat in His Lap. It was a hot perspiring crowd that found its way to the President's re ception at Washington on Friday. One of the newly married couples seemed to afford tho President consid erable amusement. The husband oc cupied one of the easy ctairs. His bride sat in his lap. There they bill ed aud cooed during tho entire recep tion. They were apparently oblivious of their surroundings, but none of those present seemed oblivious of them. Every few minutes the Presi dent glanced in their direction, and each time their amusing antics caus ed a broad smile to illuminate his countenance. Finally, when all the visitors had paid their respects and the room was deserted, with the exception of a few newspaper men, the President cross ed over to their corner and disturbed their dream of love by suddenly ask ing if he could have the pleasure of shaking hands with them. The young husband was so confused he nearly threw his bride to the floor in his effort to gain bis feet. The Presi dent without apparently noticing their embarrassment chatted pleasant ly with them a few moments. When they took their departure the Presi dent gave them a cordial gra3p of tho hand and invited them to call and see him again when next they visited Washington, an invitation they wero not slow to accept. They Never Caino back. "I don't believe in feeding tramps, at the door,"' said Mrs. Crimsonbeak; "you feed them once and they are sure to come back. i "Well, I don't know," replied Mrs. Yeast; "I always give them bread when they como to iny door, and I can't say that 1 ever know a tramp to come the second time." "Oh, well, Mrs. Yeast, you make your owu bread, do you not;"' This was all that was said, and yet Mrs. Yeast went down the street like a straw hat on a windy day. —There is no Suuday law able to keep all nature from smiling. The Toothpick Business. I "Are you aware of the extent of t!ie toothpick business in Maine ?" Mr. .1. C. Bridguian, who represents the National Toothpick Association. u:-ked :i representative of the Portland (Maine) Press the oilier day. "That seems to be a pretty big name for snaall business, I suppose you think," !ho continued. "But you will be sur pised wliau I tell you that our asso -1 ciation have contracted for enough toothpicks to be made iu Maine the coming year to load a train of fifty ; cars with nothing but toothpicks. I We shall take out of Maine before next J line five thousand million tooth i picks. A pretty fair sized wood lot, yon see, will be slit up to go into ■ the mouths and vest pockets of mill ions of Americans. Maine furniabes the larger portion of all the toothpicks used in the country. Our association controls the trade. It is something like the Standard Oil Trust, the Cottou Seed Oil Trust, and the lately formed Rubber Trust. It regulates the price and output of toothpicks as the big trusts regulates the prices and OIK put of oil or rubber goods. We hare not adopted the name Tooth pick Trust yet, however. We have a mill at Belmont, X. Y. ; Harbor Springs, Mich. ; and Fond du Lac, W is. Besides these, all our mills are in Maine ; one at Strong, one at Furruington, one at Canton, and two at Di.ifield. There is a small mill at Mechanic Falls, aiso, but it has not joined our association. In Mass achusetts, there is one small mill not in the association. So you see Maine is the great center of the industry of toothpick making." The Public Road Law. It is a general doctrine of law in the country that the land in the high ways belong to the owners of land on each side. The farm generally ex tcuds to the middle of the road, and the public ha 3 only the right to pass and repass in orderly manner, and kecp the road in repair. The farmers owu the highway, the soil, grass, trees, stones, gravel and everything else upon the surface or under it, and may use them in any way that does not effect the public right of passage, and ihe law will protect his owner ship in them just as much as if it lay iue.de his own fence* Notwithstand ing the fact that the farmer owns the laud of tho road, he cannot use it himself for any purpose which at all interfered with the public right there to* He cannot put his wood-piles, wagon or pig-pons thereon, and if he does, and the traveler runs into them at night and is injured, he would not only be liable for the private damage sustained but he may be indicted for obstructing the public highway. No person has a right to pasture on the side of a farmer's highway any more than in the enclosed lands, nor can he hitch a horse to a tree there without beiDg liable for trespass, especially if the horse should knaw the tree or do other damage. If a person let his cat tle go into the highway he is liable for trespass they commit by simply being their unlawfully; for the injury tbey occasion to the sod or barking of the tree, and for any other damage they may do. If while there they hook or kick, or bite any person, law fully using the way, he would be lia ble for tho injury.— Ex. A Hateful Man.
