"Brery one of ng han had sotoo experience in life to prove to tu that there aro men of nnitnpeaclialilo honor. I think the Vioet honorable gcntleninn whom I ever (net wa a man of a1molully infernal luck. I firt aaw him In a frontier town, He had been a cowboy, but he had got caught in a terrible winter buck on the plaina, and at the time 1 flrnt aw him he waa only a wreck of a man, with lew misshapen and weak, and eye that were nearly blind. He neemed to tie jtint clinging to life in Hint little Colorado town, doing what little he could In bar room or going nlow errand, until fnte should be kind enough to take him away from hi misery. "He Mopped me in the street one night. "'Will you lend me ton dollars?-lie mid roughly. 'I am in a bad way and I need it.' "Now ten dollar wa a good deal of money to me at that minute, for In my western experience 1 had my tip tind down, and at that time I waa having my 'down.' " 'Wouldn't a dollar do yon? 1 nuked.for the fellow looked o bad that 1 wanted to do something for liim, but I knew that I should never see my money again. " 'No,' he said doggedly, 'it won't. I want to go to Denver. I am aliont crony with pain and I want to get there and see if I can't find some relief. I haven't a cent in the world.' (There were a good many men in that little town who wert in the samo predicament.) " 'But 1 can't spare ten dollars.' 1 an swered. 'I need it.' " "Yon don't need it so much as 1 do, he said fiercely. 'Lend it to mo. I'll pay it back to you. ' Give me your nnme and address. I'll find you if I live.' "Well, 1 gave him the ten dollars. I told him that hn need not worry aliout paying it back. I expected to get out of ny troubles some day and then I should not feel the need of it. " 'No,' ho said. 'I won't touch it on any other condition. 1 want to pay it back with interest 13 per cent, a year." (Money wa worth something ont there.) "So I wrote tint my name for him. giving him a my permanent address the home of my family in the east. The next day he went to Denver. Shortly afterward 1 cliinlied into a saddle and rode away to 'pnnch cows. I punched them with varying success all over tho Colorado grazing fields for nine years. Hiving had enough of cattle Hiking by that time and my ideasof great fortune having lieen ciuiHiileralily modified. I old out my cutllu and catue Imck. ' "Of course, nfter tho first few month" following my loan of ten dollars to tlx cripple, he never came into my thoughts, though there were times wht n that ter. dollar would have lieen a good friend, but 1 completely forgot lilxmt it. I had lieen cant fur three years, had married and was fne proud father nf the tw. hmiilsoincHt children in New York, when a letter was forwarded to me from my father' home in MiusHiu'litiHctts. It was from the cripple. In it wa a postoffice order fur my ten dollar and interest on it for twelve years, at 1 percent, a month. There was no word in tho letter except thaulc for my kindness and the assur ance that he was now 'doing pretty well for him.' "1 call that man a gentleman and 1 told him so when I wrote him, and I also told him something in the letter which 1 hod would please him that on that day I had made the first bank deposit for ray baby son, and that the amonnt was fJ-4.40, his loan and the in terest, and that thongh the interest for the boy would not be anything like 13 per cent., tho deposit onght to bring him good lack.

For several years she has done duty on the hill, and knowa quite aa much about the business of running horse cars as any other em ployee. She has no driver. After break fast she trudges up to her station at the foot of the Franklin street hill alone, and when a loaded car comes to climb the steep grade voluntarily takes her place in front of it and helps to drag it half a mile to Rockwell stseet At that point the driver relieves the bill horse, and she goes leisurely back to the bottom of the hill. Sometimes she goes clear down to Franklin square, where the cars are started, and exceeds her duty by helping the other horses along the route before the hill is reached. Connecticut Cor.

Ta Mod era Olrl Bettor Off. There Is no doubt that Maude's great grandmother would be shocked at the "goings on" of these latter days. The old lady would faint at tho sight of het descendants' ways: bnt. after all. Isn't the change for the lietter? Certainly the dress is lietter than the terrible lacing of revolutionary day, and it Mamie does go "low neck" to a ball, she sppears on the street In n stout cloth gown. How any woman ever lived to be thirty in ye olden time is a mystery. Why, the way they tramped about in no sleeves and low neck ami fasted them selves then and fed (supposedly) on lilies is enough to make a galloping con sumptive invalid pale with envy. Kvelena, pale and languid, read poetry all day, except when she floated about like a sylph in the rose garden. It is bad to rashly judge, bnt one's private opinion is that tho aforesaid Evelena had her chunk of lieef In the pantry. Why did Evelena spend all (lay in it rose garden? Was she snp)Kised to lie studying the beauties of nature, or had the old man really sent her out to spray the bttgs off the bushes? . Another weakness of Evclctiu's was her relapsing on all occasions Into "floods of emotions" and "tears of sweet sensibility.' In fact, one is tempted to believe that she wandered alxmt clothed in "her regal beauty" and an old palo green calico wrapjier. But one fails to find a reason for her "emotions. " Doubtless theywero kept "on tap," and didn't lose their sparklo by frequent turnings of the spigot. But it must have lieen real nncomfortablo to sit up at night learning how to weep and faint just at the right tiino. But Maude irreverently thinks the "goings on" of her grent maternal an cestor u trifle stupid, and there is no doubt that shu finds the "healthy" fash ion far more enjoyable than the "dying-in-leafy-June" style of lieanty. Then Maude walks, rides, drives, goes boat ing nud plays tennis till the blister on her nose murmurs of "cold cream." Still she enjoys it, and would yon change if you could?

San Franciscc Argonant. Fliynlclana anil Thoir Drugs, The active competition for a living that the physician in New York has tc encounter has resulted in a curious method for stimulating trade. There are doctors in this city, graduates in due form and no doubt in many cases men of ability, who remit all fees for consul tation, relying on the profits they obtain from the medicines they prescribe for emolument. Certain standard prescri tions they have pat np in quantities, and these they sell directly to the patient. Where a prescription has to be com pounded the patient is sent to a certain drug store, at which the doctor has an arrangement for his commissions. Between these two device the prac titioner really captures a reasonable fee, and he gets it, moreover, in cash, where he otherwise might have to give credit, with a strong show of loss, for though patients will not dream of demanding credit for medicines, they make very small bones about leaving the doctor's bill unpaid once he has permitted them to run it np. New York Cor. Pittsburg Bulletin. Confouarata Camp Flaga, The Confederate stars and bars were in 1863 supplemented by the camp flag. This was in size and shape like the other, except that it was white, with no stripes, and the battle flag in the upper corner next the staff. It was found deficient in actuul service in that, displaying so much white, it was sometimes apt to be mistaken for a Aug of truce, and on Feb. 24, lWU, it gave place to the last flag of the Confederacy, the outer half being a red vertical bar. Appearing so lute in the war, it was not so familiar as the ethers in fact, it was comparatively little known. New Orleans Times Democrat. Aluinlulutn aud Old Brass.

PLANTING DEADLY EXPLOSIVES TO PROTECT THE COAST. What a Vaat Amount nt Labor, RhIII, Tlma and Money Is ltooded to Com plete a Thorough Kyatam or Coat Ia fanaa Advantage of tha Torpedo, There is a very widely, diffused idea among people who have not made a -Special study of the subject that torpe does, and torpedoes alone, can defeud any harbor against a hostile attack. The destructive effect of a few tor pedo explosions nnder the most favor able circumstances have caused this branch of warfare to assume nn nndne importance, an importnnce wholly un warranted by the result and created by generalisation from isolated instances,' Mli-alv wtlknnl . 1. - I , nii.nri,. nu iiiMi, irni u ill tno lintlirftl limitations of tho efficiency of any tor pedo system, however jierfcct. It is the object of this article to en deavor to show the actual capabilities of torpedoes, the result attainable by their use, and the restrictions inevitably at tending their indefinite expansion into a complete system of defense. Great gnus must play an Importiint ' part in all harlxir defense, but for the proper and adequate defending of navi gable chennels Ixmyant mines, exploded . by contact, are the mainstays. With their nso, however, a host of per plexing condition arise, the twisting and wearing of tho cables and moorings, the depression due to the current, the danger of sympathetic explosions, the leaking of tho cases, the obstruction of the channel for friendly navigation all these have to be overcome as best they may be. Where a port has several navigable channels, and it is practicable to sacri fice 0110 or more, their closure y moans of self acting torpedoes is easy. Where a channel, however, cannot be entirely abandoned, self acting mines' are useless, for In order to be thorough ly reliable they must lie as dangerous to a friend as to an enemy. Furthermore, . their planting, and much more, their re moval upon the cessation of hostilities is to lie accomplished only at great risk. The limited applicability of ground mines is well known. Torpedo science furnishes two other types for harbor do-, fense; the buoyant mine and the dirig- iDie torpedo, niinougn me lutter proper ly forms a distinct class. Great nicety in planting torpedoes cannot be expected, and this fact, cou pled with tho inevitable shifting of tho mines from various causes, leads direct ly to the conclusion that a great num ber of mines must be relied upon rather thau precision in their manipulation. Despite the number of mines, u vessel attempting to pass tho lines inuy still fail to strike a mine hard enough to work the circuit closer. To meet this contingency a perfect torpedo system must provide means for firing the mines at will in group of three or four. It will always lie possible to accurately lo cate a vessel within a dangerous spacer of thisnumlierof mines, and their simul taneous explosion will have the desired effect. To furnish a passage for the electric current many cables are needed, and to avoid confusion some regular method of pluntiug must bo adopted. It is con venient to plant the torpedoes in groups ' capable of being fired by judgment, these groups constituting tho units, which are combined into the larger unit whose limit is generally the number of mines that can be operated through a single seven core cable. The grand groups thus formed are ar ranged in lines, the latter radiating iu such a munuer from the operating case ments that the separate nnits can be easily located by triangulation. The intervals between the lines are filled with skirmish lines single mines strung on a single conductor cable and exploding by contact only. Many forms of movable torpedoes for harbor defense have been tried in differ ent countries with varying degrees of success. For accuracy of direction and range of destructive power the Sims-Edison fish torpedo is perhaps unexcelled. Extended trials at Willet's point have satisfactorily demonstrated its ability to carry 200 pounds of dynamite to a dis tance of two miles at a speed of about twenty miles per hour. The charge is exploded upon contact with the vessel or by the action of the operator on shore. The dirigibility of the torpedo is per fect. It follows its prey as though endowed with life, swerving to the right or left as necessary, diving under booms or other obstructions, cutting through nets, and nevor slackening its great speed until the end of its cable is reached. At present a two mile radius is deemed sufficient, although this could be increased if necessary by enlarging the "fish" itself. Cosmopolitan. What Ha Didn't Kat.
