Mr. Fly nt write: We appeared nt the door of the wuril sbont half pant 7 in tho evening. A lit tle window wax rained, nml I stepped forward to tnte my lmsiijeSN. Uncoil aciouHly I lenned iiKainut uo will of the window, which offended tho innpeotor in charge considerably. "What's your lmmef" ho thundered. Still leaning on tho Mill, I garo him my bame honed tly vuougli. He then remark ed to tome pornou inside that we wore not aonuHtomed to Much pliuvs evident ly, and called out, "Htand bwk, will you!" Back I utood. Ho cried out itguin, "Take off your hut I" My hat came off iiutantcr. Still agnin: "You como in here an if you was a meeleeoimry. You're not You're a caKual. " I wan ax meek as could well be. Ryborgwaa itching to grab the inspector with liia long nrniH. The next question wan na to whore wo had slept the night before. "Straw stack," I replied. "None of your impudence ! You nlept out Why don't you nay so? Have you got any money?" "A hap'euny, nir. " "Hand it in." In it went Then I had to tell my trade, which wan that of a sailor, and naturally the next question was an to wlioro I wan lxinnd. "To Aruoriky, sir, if I can ever get there." " Y'ou'regoin to trnnip it, aren't yon?" "Yes, sir; that's my intention." Hut for the lifo of me I con Id not aee how I wan to reach America that way. I wan so frightened that I would have told him anything he wanted When ho wan through with us, a kind hearted attendant took us in hand, gave us somo gruel and bread, a bath, clean .night shirts, and then a cell apiece, in which we slept very well. As there wero only four inmates that .morning we wore needed for tho denn ing np, and so escaped stone breaking, which I dreaded exceedingly, and wero put at various light occupations or rather I was. Ryborg was the victim of his strength. Our breakfast consisted of the same dish as onr supper of the night before. I was soon busy as general fire man, scrubber, knife cleaner, coal car rier, dish washer and helper of my sin ter sufferer, Mrs. Murphy, as she wash ed her task of towels and shirts. At noon we had pea soup and bread. I en joyed it, but Ryborg did not. Tho poor fellow was feeling badly. Ho had had to scrub nearly 20 cells, and tho bend ling over incident to such a font hud nearly broken his Imck. At dinner he said plaintively, "Flynt, I want to go homo." "So do I," I replied, "lint I ' fancy wo'ro wanted hero till tomorrow morning. " Thin proved to bo Iho case, .font ho felt better in tho afternoon anil got through comfortably, wheeling nenr ly a ton of stone from sumo of the cells to the goneral pile. Ho earned his "keep," if ever any poor prisoner did. I fear I was moro shiftless, for about the middlo of the afternoon tho attend ant who was with nio at tho furnace said: "Yon might unwell rent. Just ! keep yonr eye on tho fires, that's nil. " It was kind of him, and as I hud at ! least earned my pea soup mid gruel I took his advice. Ho was kinder to me, I think, because I gave him a corncob 'pipe which he hud had to take away from mo tho night before. During the day ho hud asked me several questions about it, and I said, "It's a very decent art of pipo coolinlike, yon know. " "Doesn't Mark Twain always smuke one o' them pipes?" suid ho. i "Blest if I know, " said I, "but I can well think It." "I'm n great friend of Mark Twain, " ho pursued, "an I'm a-thiukiu o' Renin one o' thorn pipes, jest out of respect for Ihim." "Well," suid I, "permit mo in the nanio of your resjieot to present you ;with my pipe. Besides you 've got it auy .how." Ho thanked me profusely, and promised to keep it forever. Later in the day he reported it to be just as I hud aid, "sort o' coolin like." And ho was ja good friend to me all the rest of my stay in the Notthig Hill station. I On Wednesday morning we were turn ed loose with our two ha'pennies. We Were both so happy that we decided to get off tho -road that very day. ' We bad been tramps for three weeks, and had walked most of this time fully ,15 miles a day. So we looked up my friend at the Temple, and in a few hours were respectable again. Thut same day I took my tramp clothos out to the casuul ward and presented them to my friond the attendant I had told him the day before that I expected to got new "togs" poon, and ho had put in a plea for my old ones. Good luck to him and them. Tho Kranon Why. New Parson Which do you like best, gillie, your day school or your Sunday school? WillieMy Sunduy school. New Parson I am glud to hear thut.

The mnd cabin in Ireland consists of two rooms and possibly a nmall semide tached outhouse which in used as a store room for perishablo articles. There in not a chink in the walln or thatch nave a narrow chimney, which seldom if ever annwers itn purpose. The doorway faces the east and emits the smoke. What lit tle light penetrates inside through tho tiny window discloses the deep choco late stain from the eternal turf reek which pervades the atmosphere of tho interior, and literally paintn walln, roof and furniture a uniform color. The fnr nitnre is rough and also scanty, a few stooln atoning for the occasional com plete absence of chairs. The mnd floor in alwnyn more or less wet from the patter of tho children's bare feet or from the animals which have free access to the house. At night there is a goodly company within the walln of this spacious mansion. In the inside room there are two or three Ikix tied or berths, where thechiMren sleep, according to 'heir age and sex. From 9 to 19 is not an uncommon number in a family. In the state berth in tho cnlliogh, or recess at the side of the hearth, the father and mother repose un screened from the live stork of the farm and breathe the same atmosphere as somo eight quadrupeds besides tho ponltry. Pigs, cattle, dogs, rats, and probably a horse or donkey, have their bed space re spectively, and jealously resent any en croachment by a bedfellow. Astonishing as it may appear, there are hardly any disagreeable odors. Tho overpowering smell of the peat smoke evidently acts as a complete disinfectant, and fortunately it is innoxious to the in habitants of the hovel. Equally astonish ing is the fact that the whole commu nity is in comparative harmony, and even tho babies rarely cry. There is plenty of occupation for all tho family who are able and willing to work, the mother doing little else but nurse the youngest infant. Com hill Magazine. Mrt by Chnnce. An amusing story is told of Robert Frans, the f unions Germnn song writer, and another equally celebrated compos er. Tho incident occurred anon after tho publication of Franc's famous "Open Letter to Edwnrd Hanslick," in which ho mado severe criticism upon some musical work of the compose Johannes Brahms. Franz had occasion at that timo to take a Ave or six hours' trip by rail. In the compartment with him was a little man with whom he foil into conversa tion. The fellow travelers found each other delightful and whilcd the hours away in agreeable talk, which did not turn upon music. When the trnin reached Franc's des tination, he took out his card case, say ing to his companion : "You have made mo pass a most de lightful afternoon. Allow me to gi-e you my card. " Tho stranger seemed highly gratified and offered Franc his card in return. Each looked at the bit of pasteboard ho had received in amazement The stran ger's eyes opened wide at reading tho name of his merciless critic, "Dr. Rob ert Franz," while Frnnc himself was equally astounded at reading on tho card in his hand, "Johannes Bruhms." There was no timo for mutual expla nations, but each of tho musicians had discovered that, however their ideas might differ from a musical standpoint, they wero at least ndmirnblo traveling companions and had found much to en joy in ouch other. Youth's Companion. Mas O'Kell as a "SI agger." Max O'Roll tolls many stories about other pooplo. Hero is one that in Mont real ho told about himself. When lec turing in an Australian bush town, he waxed eloquent on tho athletic foats of Britons. "After each assertion camo a doop toned 'It's a lio' from a drunken auditor. Tho interruptions became un bearable 'Give me a stop of five min utes,' said Max to his audience. Off went his coat, down jumped tho lectur er, and in a moment he hud collared tho interrupter and bundled him out 'If I hud known you meant to do that,' said the mauugor, 'I'd have charged double prices.

Pope doomed the "Essay on Man" his most polished production, but was so fond of revising his poetry that the printed copy contained almost one mar ginal note for every line.

When Paderowski was in New York, he was calling at a prominent Wall street man's homo in Fifth nvenun when the broker told him lie would like to have his opinion of his daughter's playing. Tho great pianist courteously replied that nothing would give him greatet pleasure. After the young lady hnrt dashed off several selections Padcrcwski said : "To get tho greatest enjoyment from the piano the tnuste must not only be heard, bnt tho performer should be seen. The performer should therefore be careful of his or her position at the in strument. "I will be frank with yon and say that I preferred to see rather than hour your daughter play. I might better say that I looked more than I listened. She held herself correctly. There in nothing I hate more than a listless, careless pos ture of the body while playing. "Then there was lifo in her touch. Her fingers fairly sparkled an they ran over the board and touched the keys, rebounding from them with a snap that was exhilarating to behold. Her manner of using her hands and her elbowing, if I may so call It, showed proper training also. "I will therefore add that my sense of hearing would have been equally de lighted doubtless if my senso of sight had not been so completely monopolized. I compliment the young lady on her ac complishment" "There is wisdom in that," said the broker in repeating the conversation. "Teachers of the piano should give fur more attention to this matter than they now da "New York Advertiser. An Independent Lawyer. A lawyer, with his client, railed one day at tho ofllco of a gentleman who is considered to be one of tho leading men of the Philadelphia bar. The lawyer hod an important rose, and ho wanted to take tho legal big gun in as adviser. He explained his business and snid he and the client would bo back in tho aft ernoon. "I won't bo hero then," said the legal giant "I have an engagement nt 8 o'clock, and I won't bo hero after that hour. " "Bnt thero is a $5,000 feo in this for you," explained tho younger lawyer. "Can't help it I won't be here, iou will have to como tomor row." "Bnt my client can't como tomor row. " "Well, I can't break my engage ment," said the senior. After somo fur ther talk it was agreed that a meeting be held that night. That afternoon, hav ing nothing else to do, the young law yer and his client went to a ball game, Tho first man they saw inside the grounds was the great lawyer, who was hurrahing for the "Phillies" with all the vigor of his lungs.

We never think of her majesty's sol diery as being attired in other than rod ooats and brass buttons, bnt there was a time when the regulation nuiform of British soldiers was entirely different from what it is today. In the time of Henry VIII tho colors worn by tho urmy were green and white ; later on, white, with a red cross on the breast The first mention of the "red coats," which wero so detested by the American patriots of Revolutionary times, is found in a cir cular letter by Edwurd, earl of Derby.
