MINOR MATTERS OFJHTEREST The extent to which a little ohild may be indulged by austere men who apparently have no time for anything but business is well Illustrated by the following pleasing incident: Recent ly Mri. W. W. Gulick, of South Dau ville, took a trip to Philadelphia. She was accompanied by her little five-year old son, George. When she purchased a ticket at Sooth Dauville the little fellow begged for a ticket also. To satisfy the boy, Station Agent Clark drew oue of his cards from his pocket and stamping it. handed it to the youthful passenger. Nothing more was thought of the matter by the Station Agent until tie little boy with his mother returned home from Philadelphia. Mr. Clark was then shown the card, which had taken the trip to Philadelphia and back. It was a marvel to look at and oontaioed no less than sixty conductor punch marks. Every time the con ductor came through the oar the little boy, who has pleasing wiuning ways, presented iiis card and was never turn ed down. Each of the six conductors met with on the trip as shown by the pouch marks paid his respects to the little boy aud how often they punched the "ticket" is revealed by the face of the caid, which is nearly "all hole*." « « « A flue dig stone pavement is being laid in frcnt of J. H. Cole's hardware ■tore on Mill street. The stones are of the largest size aud the pavement as far as completed is a beauty aud shows off the sidewalk, which is un usually wide,to a splendid advantage. Mr. Cole's example in potting down the new pavement is worthy of imita tion, as there are a large number of the sidewalks in town that ueed relay ing. The work has beeu postponed too long already. )• la to Easter programs are being arranged and the choirs an completing their rehearsals this wee!;. Especial pains are being taken and at several of the ehurches the Easter music this year will be finer than ever heard in the pa»t. « « m The schools will be closed ou Good Friday, which will give teachers and popils three days off in succession Some of the teachers will embrace the opportunity to take a short trip oot of town. RADIUn WILL CURE BAD CANCER CASES NEW YORK, April 19.—Exjeri meuts onder way at Flower Hospital indicate that by a certain app ication of radium cancer can be cur.'d. The effective method of applviug radium has been discovered by Hogo Lieber, a no'ed chemist of this oity. Mr Lieber has succeeded in dissolv ing radium aud the solutiou exerts all the activity of pure radium. Io order to test the curative power of the solu tion it was decided to give a thorough test at the Flower Hospital. There was an old woman among the patients of the hospital who was slowly dying of cano<-r that had attacked the instep of her left foot. She was Sarah Oliver of New Canan. Conn. Realizing the almost hopeless character ot her mal ady she eagerly consented to undergo experimental treatment. Two weeks ago shereoeived her first treatment with the solution, or coat ing, as it is technically known. Six days later, the great tomor that menac ed bar life,literally dropped off,show ing the healthy flesn underneath. Dr. Harvey King, head of the Flow er hospital clinic conld scarcely be lieve his eyes. Dr. William H. Dieffen baoli who p-rsonally conducted the treatment, was equally amaaed. But there was no disputing the facts. The balk of th l cauuer had beeo removed, ieatiug a mere rim of disease tissue thtt presents absolutely no ob taile to treatment. de»t r»l p.tients now at Flower ho*- plfal bar* nnl-ijoiie the treatment and are showing marked i>npiove me n Tom irrow aimt ier t«>-t #ill he bog an.

SECURING JURY TO TRY ACTRESS NhA Y< IRK, April iy.—Tlireejurors fvere iu the box this morning when tho trial of Nun Patterson, the chorus girl,charged with murder, was resum ed before Recorder Goft ami counsel expressed the opinion that the surpris ing expedition with which the ex amination was proceeded with yester day save ground for tin hope that the jury box will be filled by tomorrow night. Conn-el on both sides have restrict ed their questions to the narrowest point and no time is being lost in use less quibbling. Nau Pattorstin pays the same Keen, eager attention to the selection of the jurors that site did on the two pre vious trials.

SWEET Copyright, 19W., by fVunA 11. Suvet When the Southern Palm Limited drew out from Jacksonville, north bound, there were two young men on board under widely different circum stances. One was crouching upon ihe second step of a Pullman, forward, with his eyes tixed grimly upon the iloor through which the conductor would pass on his round of ticket col lecting. The other was In the ob servation car at the rear of the train, two seuts from the end, staring at an open letter with eyes widened In despair, horror and desperation. This train made few stops, but at the llrst station, In obedience to a sig nal from the bell cord, it slowed down sufficiently for the conductor and brakeman to thrust the man from the second step of the Pullman; then It shot ahead at full speed to make up the few seconds lost. The tramp remain ed standing where he had dropped, his face now keen and alert, and his right arm upraised. As It swept by the train brushed his clothing and the wind of It stirred his rough, unkempt hair and beard. Three cars passed; then came the observation car. Sud- THi TBAMI-'H BIGHT ARM CLOSED I.IKK A STEEL BAND ABOUND THE OTHER. denly his hand closed like a vise upon the rear railing, his body swung out and writhed for a few moments In midair, then his feet caught, and he drew himself In by Bheer force of mus cle and nerve to the same crouching position he had occupied on the Pull man forward. Inside the car the other man was now tearing the letter into the most minute fragments, as if striving to annihilate Its contents. When the pieces were too small for further re ductlon they swept through the open window and were scattered thinly I over a half a mile of the roadbed. The man rose and glanced about the car. It was almost empty, and the other passengers were burled in papers or book 9. He turned back quickly, open ed the door, and with a light spring threw himself from the train, but not to the ground! Just as he sprang, the tramp flung himself out suddenly, with nouiing but his left hand grasping the rail. As the two bodies came together the tramp's right arm closed like a steel band around the other, while the weight of It bore them down, down, until their legs almost swept the mock lng rails of the roadbed. Not many men—not one in a thou sand—could have sustained such a weight in such a position, swinging from side to side under the motion of a train going at fifty miles an hour, but gradually, little by little, the left arm contracted and drew them up, up and In until finally, with a last desper ate effort, they were both crouching upon the rear platform, white, gasping, too exhausted to stand or speak. The well dressed man recovered first. The horror was sun In his eyes, but with it was something more. Perhaps that instant in midair, with death In front, had made him see more clearly; perhaps his miraculous rescue had made possible the greater rescue from himself. As he rose staggeringly the tramp's arm went out In feeble protest, but a hand fell upon the arm gently. "No need of that now, my friend," the still white Hps whispered. "I am awake and in my tight mind. I shall never attempt anything like that again." The train began to slacken, and at that moment the door opened and the conductor came out. They were pass lng over a short piece of road where repairs were being made, and slow speed was necessary. The conductor nodded to his passenger, but seemed surpftsed at his disheveled appearance. Then his gaze fell upon the tramp, and his face darkened. "You here," he exclaimed, "after be ipg put off once too? And, from the looks of this young miin, you have been up to more than stealing a ride this time. I" There was a sudden jerk, which in tlmated that the train was about to In crease its speed The conductor caught the tramp by the shoulder and with a yulck twist sent him from the train. The passenger uttered an angry cry of remonstrance and tried to stay the act, but too late. As the train gath ered headway they saw the tramp go •dunging and staggering down a stewn embankment, at me oottom oi tvnii'h he righted himself and waved hi* hand cheerfully at the receding train. live minutes later the young man was back In the car. two seats from the end. still dazed and white. Sud denly the door at the forward end opened, and a girl entered, holding a paper in her band She came straight to him. "Robert, what does this awful thing about you mean?" alie exclaimed. "1 suppose you have seen tl/* paper." He was holding to the bark of the •eat f«r support, his face drawn and haggard. "No. you needn't show it to me, lfei eu." he answered. "I have not seen I In paper. but 1 know what it contains. It ts true.

I have known you ever since we went to school together, and you are utterly incapable of a thing like that. Vou have not read the paper, so you do not understand. Why, Robert" her voice quivered with in dignation—"the paper says you stole half a million dollars, and from poor people, mostly people whose means of support it was. It's absurd. You have been with us the last three months, and this has all happened within that time." "But don't you see it's just the same, Helen," he said gently. "The money was Intrusted to me. and I am the sole one responsible. If I neglected the trust and allowed my partner an op portunity to do the rest I am really the one to blame." "I say you are not." she interrupted emphatically. "Maybe It was unbusi nesslike and maybe you are legally re sponsible—l do not know about that. But I do know you are no more guilty than I am in the way the paper puts it. Of course you will let every cent of your property go toward paying tbeae poor people, and if it isn't enough we will pay the rest off just as fast as we can earn it." "Helen, Helen!" he remonstrated sharply. "You must not talk like that. You do not understand. We cannot be married now. Why, dear, I may be ar rest ed." "All the more need you will have for my help, then." she replied quickly. "If I am to be a helpmeet there will never be more occasion for It than now. We will be married just its soon as we reach Washington, just as we planned, and then we will work together to live tills thing down. Why, Robert!" For the young man's heftd had sud denly dropped to the back of the seat, and his shoulders were heaving convul sively. She sank to the seat'beside him. slipping one of her hands Into his, stroking it softly until lie should regain control of himself. And miles behind them on the'.track sat a tramp waiting for the' next freight. Wanted Jsdße to Be Overruled. Up in Maine there is an old custom of opening the courts with prayer, which custom in one instance, describ ed with considerable gusto by ex-Judge Henry E. Howland, led to a petition with which the judge couldn't exactly sympathize. The minister who was to officiate at (his court was;one of the good old fashioned, simple J living, long praying kind who flourish, in countt-y churches. He prayed for'the 1 welfare of the nation and its executive*and his cabinet; he prayed for the stateiofßcials and for mankind in general. Then. "O Lord, give to this presiding judge the wisdom he so much needs.* besought the dominie with fervor. "Overrule his decisions to thine eternal honor and glory." The presiding judge, appre ciating the spirit of the petition, while hardly relishing his diction, had to live down tlio reputation which his asso ciates tried to confer on him in-accord ance with the "•haracterlzation. of the prayer.—New York Tribune. lllntlnoM nml Coun. The Hindoos, or natives of India, worship idols of wood and stone.. They also worship animals and plants. The cow is considered the mo=t sicred an imal: still they worship the ox and the bull, the fish, tortoise and bear; also serpents, monkeys, demons and spirits. They believe that when a per son dies the sos:l passes into someiani mal er plant and lives another life, continuing to do so until it has lived millions of lives. They think that'per haps some one <>f their ancestors may be living in the cow or some other animal. For that reason they are very kind to animals and dare not allow them to be killed. When the cows be come old. or for that reason become helpless, they are sent t.i the "asylum for animals'* in Pnnjakole.

"Millions of the frisky little bark ers must have been in quest of new pastures or perhaps feared the ap proachiug legi..;is of home seekers would surely exterminate the dogs and plow up the dog towns. The prairie dog migration from the north to th<> southwest lasted six days during the month of July, 1874. I'he traveling dogs while crossing the Ited river In terfered to a great extent with the cattle that came to that stream to quench their thirst. Some cowboys that were on the banks of Red river during the time when the prairie dogu swam across say that the stream was chock full of the little rascals for many miles tip and down the river. The thirsty cattle were either uuable or unwilling to stick their mouths into the water through the moving maas of living prairie dogs. The cowboys were getting ready to drive the famishing stock to a distant stream, but the Ked river became clear of the repelling swimmers after blocking the useful drinking place for about a week. It was generally supposed that the dogs halted when they had reached the staked plains of Texas." Kansas City' Times. Flc Sunday.

ELY BROTHERS, 50 Warren Street, »w York THE BELTED PLAID. tkl> Wua thf Orlfflual Drria of thr Scott INII Highlander. The original dress of the liighlander was the belted plaid. This was a piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad and four long, which was drawn around the waist in nicely adjusted folds and tightly buckled with a belt. The lower part came down to the knees in much the same manner as the modern kilt, while the upper part was drawn up and adjusted to the left shoulder, so that the right arm might be perfectly free. This upper part was the plaid, which was used as a covering for the shoulders nnd body m wet , weather, and when the use of both arms was required It was fastened ' across the breast with a brooch, often curiously enriched. A brooch was also used to fasten the plaid on the left shoulder. To attire himself In the belt ed plaid required on the part of the highlander no small amount of dexteri ty. The usual way was to lay It on the floor and after carefully arranging the folds to lie down ui>on it and then buckle It on. The lower end was fas tened at the right hip. The utility of such a dress in the highlands is ob vious, for the plaid rendered the man Indifferent to storms and prepared to pass a night in the open air In the most Inclement weather, while the loose undergarment enabled him to wade rivers or ascend mountains with equal ease. It was thus peculiarly adapted to the warrior, the hunter and the shepherd.—London Mail. PROFITS OF THE DUMP. i»ood Money In Muny Old Thinira That Are Throwu Away.
