PLAYING SOCIETY.
Tho Little Girl's Interpretation of
What the Smart Set Do.
The small girl yearned for things be
yond her environment and, with true
feminine adaptability, was making the
most of the resources nt command.
"Reginald," she said to the youngster
who was trying to give a tight-rope ex
hibition on the tongue of the grocery
wagon, "c-more."
"Who ye talkln' to?" was the indig
nant Inquiry.
"Youse."
"My name ain't Reginald. My name's
Tommy."
'We're name's Reginald."
"Why Is It?"
"Because I eay It Is. Do you see my
right hand?"
"Yes."
"No ye don't, nothing of the kind, cos
I've got It behind my back, an' there's
a brick In it, an' wot I say goes, an'
yer name's 'Reginald.' "
"All right. Wot're ye goin' ter do?"
"Play society."
"I don't know how."
"It's easy. Yo come up ter me an'
ye say, 'All, howduhdo, howduhdoo.
Ye'rc looking chawmlug this evenlnk,

"An' wot do you do?"
"I say, 'Do you reeyully think so?'"
"An' den I s'pose I gitß baek at yer

"Sure. You jes' kinder duck yer
head over yer shoulder an' squint down
at me an' say, 'Pon honor.' An' den I
sorter gurgles, 'So good of you ter say
so.' After wo gits t'rougb wit dat, we

at de same party."
"An' say somet'lng different?"
"Naw. We says de same t'lng. An'

"An' you've got do brick In yer han'

A FARM SON O.
• E stir and wako when the dawn is gray,
When the sparrows twitter along the
eaves,
Ere the sun has smiled on a summer day
And lit the dew on the dripping leaves.
I rise from my pillow of ponceful r ost
With strength renewed, with a hoart care
free.
And out on the quivering poplar's crest
A robin is singing this song to mo:
Plow it, sow it, reap it, mow it,
Plow it, sow it, reap it, mow it. i
All morning bsside the sun I toil
That jolly old farmer who, from the sky.
Showers his blessings upon tho soil
And marks my labor with kind eye.
And at noon, when my shadow's a pace to
the north,
My patient team from tho traces I frc-
Aud I hear the robin carolling forth,
To a hearty tune, this song for mo:
Plow it, sow it, reap it, mow it,
Plow it, sow it, reap it, mow it,
Whon tho evening oomes with its droning
sounds
And the idle gnats iu the still air play,
Of the barns and stable 3 I make my rounds,
Till the chores are done at the closo of
day.
And all tho while, like a spirit blo3t,
My robin is pouring sweet and strong,
From tho tall, dark poplar's sunlit crest
Tho tinkling notes of his sago sweet song:
now it. sow it, reap it, mow it,
Plow it. sow it, reap it. mow it.

"Hey?"
, Kearno ?
w il u u M v a trumpet of his
hands. "You might have sung out."
"You'd have thought it was a hot
box squeaking."
"Thero was no necessity whatever
for giving warning, captain."
"Thanks, Miss Kitty. I'm pleased
to hear it."
"Won't you come and sit down?"
Kitty's treble shrilled above tho
rumbling, rattling, bumping of the
wheels.
Tho captain bent over her, steady
ing himself by the brako. "No," be
soreamod, "j'm not the man to be
number throe, even on the back plat
form of a train. But I'm a bringer of
bad news."
Miss Foster gavo an effeotivo start
which resulted in bringing lior tiny
hand fluttering down upon Kearney's
shoulder. "Oh! what?" she cried,
"Only that your good mother suyel
am to tell you that it is not nice for
little girls to stay out ou back plat
forms at 11 o'clock ou a starry night,
and that yon must come in."
"But it's so hot and smoky in
there," she nnswered, demurely, fold
ing her hands and settling hack
against the car. "I can't possibly
stand it; I've a most dreadful head
ache." Who closed her eyes and threw
bnok he. head. Tho oaptain and
Kearney got the full benefit of the
length and curve of her lashes and of
the curls blowing across her brow.
"Miss Kitty, Miss Kitty, I fear you
I are a slippery young eel."
"No, I'm not. ltially, my hoad
does ucho. Nobody ever believes that
I enn feel badly or be in earnest."
Her round eyes rested ou tho starry
sky at an angle which allowed Kearney
to seo that they were tilled with tears.
"Oh, come, captain, don't tease the
child. She has a headache, and the
i air's good for her. Tell Mrs. Foster
I that I'll bring her in directly."
Captain Muson shook his head and
went away. "Appleton is looking
iicrco," he called hack over his shoul
der.
"What did he say about Lieutenant
Appleton?" asked Kitty. Kearny re
peated the captain's words. "Fierce7
I wonder what about?"
"You, perhaps."
Miss Foster smiled frankly. "I
don't boliovo so," sho said,
j "Doesn't ho still hope?"
"Dear, no!" aud this time there was
i a ring of unmistakable truth in her
tones.
"You threw him over rathor sudden
| like."
"I didn't; ho threw mo over—truly,
j It was a stupid muddle about—about
Mr. Saxo, and a rose, aud—things."
| "The 'things' leaves room for imag
j inatiou."
| Miss Foster ignored this with a
i smile, and sat silently looking ut the
j plain as it unrolled before them in the
i night, like a wide bale of dark cloth,
brocaded with greasewood hushes.
Now aud then the train rumbled over
a small trestle, and the white post
numbering it shot past. The telegraph
I poles whisked by, and tho wires rose
j and fell like tho swells of tho sea. Far
I off ncross tho dnrk prairie a light
i gleamed, at long intervals, in tho wiu-
I dow of a houso that was invisible; but
for them it was always, minuto aftor
minute, hour after bonr, the whirling
monotony of the plain in the night,
tho steady arch of tho gray bluo sky
glittering with stars. Humble, thump,
rattle, rattle, rumble, thump, aud the
l ground whizzed past, uud the telegraph
| poles darted by, and the cool wind,
i heavy with tho greasewood odor,
' whistled around them, but Kitty sat
! looking straight bcloro lior, and bcr
tiny hands were still folded on her
knees. She know that Kearney was
wild over every moment she was making
him waste.
| At last sho sighed. It was a mighty
sigh, which cost Miss .Foster a severe
physioa] effort, but sho meant it to bo
heard above the rattle and the wind.
It was heard; aud a baud slipping
woarily and carelessly from her knee
! touched the lieutenant's palm. Tho
hand was canght—and held. There
Mas silence again.
Then Miss Foster struggled properly
hard to releate her fingore, but she
failed. "You mustn't hold my hand,"
she remonstrated.
"Why?"
"Because."
"Is thero any other good reason?"
Miss Foster nodded.
"Tell mo."
"An engaged girl shouldn't let her
hand he held."
Kearney dropped it as if it burned.
Kitty took of tho noise of
the wheels to speak her mind aloud—
but not so loud that it could reach her
companion. "Big chump!" she
breathed.
"I didn't know you wore ongaged,
or I shouldn't have done it."
Miss Foster, in another aside, said :
"Well, 1 like that!"
"I know you wouldn't," sho replied,
with the voice of a forgiving deity.
"May I ask who it is?"
"Well, I'm not exactly engaged yet,
but I'm afraid I shall be."
"That's curious."
"Isn't it?"
After a lapse of somo moments, Miss
Foster resumed; "You know when
Mr. Lowell wns down at the post ?
Well, ho—he liked me a good deal.
I liked him, too—somo; so ho thoaght
it would—would bo n good thing if
wo woro engaged. Ho was dreadfully
cross. Not cross exactly, bnt—well
—storn. He said I needed to be
bound. Did yon ever? I need to be
bound I As though I hadn't a bit of
prinoiple. Boside3 i's easy enough to
break an engagement; at loast I should
think so, isn't it?"
Even the infatuated Kearney found
this child-like appeal for information
overdone, coming from Miss Foster.
"Come off! Miss Kitty," he said.
Miss Kitty smiled blandly. "Per
haps it isn't, hut I thought maybe it
was. Is it wrong to break an engage
ment? Well, anyway, ho wanted me
to promiso, and I didn't seo tho uso
jußt then; so I told him that I'd not
really bo exactly engaged until the
next time wo met. I thought I'd havo
time to think about it by then. Well,
then, when the order came for us all
to move, he wrote dowu that ho and a
lot of tho others from Grant would be
waiting for thoir transportation at
Wilcox when our train would go by—
at least, ho hoped so. He said he'd
seo me thero at the station when wo
stopped, even if it were only for a
minute, and that then I must keep my
word, and bo engaged to him." An
other great sigh escaped her.
"But surely, Miss Kitty, if you don't
earo for him, you won't promise to
marry him."
"I don't know."
"Do you lovo him?"
"I—l guess so."
"Don't you know?"
"I suppose not; I suppose I don't
know."
Kearney waxed exceeding wroth at
a man who would bully a trusting
child into an engagement. "Why
are you permitting yoursolf to bo
brow beaten into this?" ho asked,
angrily.
"Oh ! pleaso don't bo cross—please."
She was on the verge of tears.
He took her baud again. Sho was
not engaged yet. "Answer mo, Kit
ty."
"It wouldn't be right not to, would
it?"
Then Kearney went boldly to work
to prove that it certainly would .be
right not to.
"But bo loves me," protested Miss
Foster.
"So do--wbat if he does? You
don't lovo him."
"But I ought to; maybe I shall."
Aud that was all that eould be done
with Kitty.
Her mother came to tho door of tho
ear. "Kitty, you must como in right
away. If your hoad aches, you can
go to bed."
"My bead's better now," she said,
rising. "Can't I just stay up until wo
get to Wilcox? I think maybe Car
rie, or perhaps Mr. Lowell, will bo
down there."
They went hack into the slooper,
whore the officers uud their wives sat
talking and trying to keep awako one
half-hour longer until Wilcox should
bo reached. The companies from
Grant woro oxpeeted to bo waiting
thero for tho next train oast, and
many pleasant meeting might be
crowded into tho short delay at the
station.
Miss Fo.sler got a pillow and curled
lip on a seat. "If I fall asleop, Mr.
Appleton, will you waken mo at Wil
cox?" sho requested.
"Certainly, Miss Foster," he an
swered.
Kitty closed her big, dark bluo eyes
and thought. Sho thought how i'uuuy
it is when a man who has called you
"Kitty," and has been awfully in love
with you, says "Mis 3 Foster," and
pretends ho is a mere acquaintance.
She thought that Appleton was nicer
thau Ferris, or Saxe, or Lowell. But
he wasn't so nice as Mr. Kearney— not
quite. She thought she had done very
well with Mr. Kearney. Sho distin
guished iu tho matter of -conlidouoes,
did Kitty. Kho knew that nothing ro
duces a promising situation to mere
friendship so quickly and successfully
as an open, frank, whole soutod con
fession. Such a thing was clumsy;
aud Kitty loathed clumsiness m these
matters. She had had withheld enough
of her plaint to turn it cleverly to ac
count. She had madu Kearney sorry
for lior, and had rofnsed his advieo
with prostrated grace.
Then Miss Foster foil asleop and
dreamed rosy dreams until Appleton
touohed her arm with a book bo lfad
been reading. "We are at Wilcox,
Miss Foster."
"Oh! dear. What did you hit mo
with that hard tliiug for?" she oried,
jumping up. "It hurt." Her lips
trembled and her eyes filled.
"Kitty, child, I didn't mean to hurt
you. That is—really, I beg your
pardon, Miss Foster."
"Certainly, Fr—Mr. Appleton,"she
replied, rubbing her arm, with a
ohuekle whioli passed for a sol) sup
pressed.
Tlioy drew up at the station, where
lights twinkled from tho blackness all
about them. There was no one on tho
platform, thero wero none of tho
shouts of welcome expected.
Kearuey rushed into the car. "Say,
what do you think? They've left—-
evory last ono of thom—on the train
ahead. They've got a big start of us."
Miss Foster cried, "Oh!" and
beamed with delight. She began to
believe that heaven cares for its own.
"We've only throe minutes here,"
Kearney called back over his shoul
der, as he rushed out again.
The truin had begun to move when
Kearney re-appeared. He brought
with him a can of oysters whereof the
top had been hacked open. "They're
all I had time to get, Miss Kitty," ho
explained, as he 6et them before her
on tho window-sill.
Kitty was the daughter of the plaius
and knew the worth of an oyster.
She clapped her little hands iu high
glee.
Suddenly Kearney's face fells "By
Jovol I've no fork or spoon."
"Wo might use a jrencil, if you'd
sharpen it," suggested Miss Foster,
"Or a hatpiD."
"No. I like the pencil idea better."
Then Miss Foster took the pencil and
the Can, and wont to spearing the bi
valves.
"They wero nice, but they've made
my head ache agaiu," murmured Miss
Foster. "It's so close in here."
"Perhaps another breath of fresh
air would ilo it good," Kearney sug
gested.
"Maybe," assented she, and they
slipped unnoticed out ou tho back
platform once more.
Kitty drew iu the night air with de
light, Bho trilled a bar of a song.
"Oh! I'm so-o-o happy," said Bho.
"do am I," said Kearney, as he held
her steady, with his arm half about
her.
"Why?" quoried Miss Foster, tilting
back her head tu look iuuooently into
his oyes. The fluffy head was so near,
the parted lips wore so childish, tho
round eyos were so lender. Kearney
bent over her.
"Why, do you think ''.at, Kitty?"
"Oh! Mr. Kearney, yog mustn't,"
she cried, pulling away.
"But you're not engaged," ho sug
gested.
"That's so," auswrrjd Kitty,
thoughtfully.
"Unless yon will bo to me?" He
caught both lier hands and tried to
force her to look him. "Willyou be?"
he insisted.
"If you think I'd bettor," said Miss
Foster.—The Argonaut.
A Wonderful Clock,
Two years ago a South Chicago
jeweler calculated ho would in all
probability live forty years. Ho knew
it takes at least two minutes to wind
the ordinary house clock. At that rate
he figured ho would, during tho rest
of his life, spoud about sixty days of
his valuable timo winding the clock.
Then bo deoided to mako a clock that
would have to be wound but once in
forty years.
Ho spent his odd miuutes at tho
task nnd has sucoeeded iu producing
a wonderful piece of mechanism—
the only one of its kind, he says, in
the world. It is fifteen inches in diam
eter and weighs seventy-live pounds.
The movemont is geared so that the
barrel wheel containing the main
spring revolvos once in two aud a half
years. When this wheel has made
lifty-six revolutions somebody will
have to givo the key seventeen turns.
Tho clock will thou be wound for an
other forty years. Tho lirst wheel
from the barrel wheel crowds around
at tho rate of ono turn a year. The
dial plate is six inches in diameter.
Every part of this near approach to
perpetual motiou wa3 made by Mr.
Campbell, work took most of
lus leisure for two years. The move
ment is full jeweled. The clock will
be put in [a hermetically sealed glass
ease, aud it will work in a vacuum,
thus lessening friction aud preventiug
tho oil from dryiug. It will be impos
sible for dust to get into tho works.
So, if no accident oocuis and Mr.
Campbell's calculations are correct,
this clock will bo telling time, with
out any hand having touched it, when
Mr. Campbell's looks are white, whon
tho kuiekerbockered schoolboy of to
day is President of the United States.

WAS NOT A SUCCESS.
An Idea iu Rapid Transit that Ones
Made a Hit.
Several years ago a stranger with
ideas worthy of Colonel Sellers located
at Mount Holly, N. J. Ho talked of
many inventions which he had under
way, but the greatest was the bicycle
railway. The rails could be laid on
brackets extending over the street, on
awning posts and froiu telegraph poles
and trees in the country, and, having
nothing In Its way, great speed could
be made over It for loug distances. Tlio
machines were very much like an ordi
nary bicycle turned "upside down,"
split up the middle and placed upon
the track like clothespins. In front
and back of the rider were grooved
wheels about nine Inches in diameter,
both resting upon a steel rail, wedge
shaped like a knife blude, and almost
TIIE FUNNIEST BICYCLE OF ALL.
as sharp. This was fastened to a Bx3
Inch plank, securely fastened to posts
at frequent Intervals. There being but
little friction or weight, propulsion was
easy, requiring but slight expenditure
of energy, and this latter and very Im
portant element was generated from a
ratchet gear and clutch levers instead
of pedals.
The scheme made a hit. A company
was formed and the road put in opera
tion. It passes over ujood aud farm
land. The scenery is t*squieite. For
n quarter of a mile from Mount Holly j
the road Is double-track. During the I
remainder of the distance the Ran cocas I
creek gets in the way eleven times and
Is crossed on pilings driven "single
flip." Rut when the farmers want to
get into Iheir fields and let down a
strip of fence, the next luckless rider
that comes along is dumped. There
has been endless wrangling over right
of way. The employes of the big ma
chine shops at Smithvllle go on the
"bike" railroad to and from their homes
In Mount Holly. But the scheme has
never paid even the cost of operation.
The track is getting rickety and sadly
3iit of plumb. The inventor, disgusted,
!ms sold out his interest and gone to
Florida.
Effect of High Altitudes.

cently that there Is a notable increase
In the proportion of the number of cor
puscles iu the blood In persons who go
from a low to a high altitude. This in

to thirty-six hours. It. Is possible that
this fact may bo oue of the reasons for j

A Lawyer's Testimony.
From the Herald, Potadam, A'. Y.
George Board in an Blaeey, of Niciiolville, j
St. Lawrence County, New York, has for |
many years ranked as ono of tlie brightest !
lawyers in Northern New York and for the
past twenty years has been the acknowledged
leader of polities in the oast end of thiscrent :
county. Mr. Mtncoy was admitted to tho bar j
in 1865, aud up to October, 18U5, continued !
to practice his profession. All this time, I
however, tho strain of active political work !
had been undermining his once iron < onsti- j
tution, and during this month of October he I
buffered a stroke of paralysis which left him j
practically helpless. For weeks ho was ir. a '
terrible condition, the efforts of the doctors
proving <>f uo avail. All at once ho bogan to
recover, however, and was soon seen about j
town again, frequenting his former haunts
and shaking hands with bis old friends and :
acquaintances. His rapid recovery was the
talk of the town, and a reporter hearing of i
the woudorful cure decided to visit Mr. J
titueey and uscortain if possible its cause. i
Mr. Btacey was incline 1 to be coramuuica- I
five, and the following is his story of his ill- j
uess aud euro:
"I was presiding over a political meeting !
and had just arisen to give a friend who was
to address tho meeting a rousing sendolT, .
when to my astonishment I discovered I ;
could not talk. My tongue seemed pnra- :
lyzod. I managed to say a few words, how- J
ever, and took my seat where by shear will
power I managed to sit until tho meeting i
was finished. On arising to go home, how- I
evor, 1 found I could not walk and seemed j
to have lost control of ray limbs. I was as- i
sisted home, but on feeling better in tho j
morning I went down to my office. Ifcro I ;
suffered another shock which loft mo flat on .
my back. I finally rocovorod miffleioutly to
get up, but was left a complete physical
wreck. I could uot half talk or guide ray
soli at all. I could not write or even hold a i
pen, aud was unable to transact any bust- |
nose. I was like a drunken man aud wout j
staggering about.
"The doctors did nil they could for rro but i
still 1 failed to improve. I luid always been j
greatly opposed to patent medicines iu any
form, but on the recommendation of tnv
druggist,lra 11. Smith, I finally decided to
give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
a trial and soo if they would do me any
good. To my groat surprise I begun to no
lice an improvement before I had taken
half a box, and by the time I had taken three
boxes I felt like a new man As nothing else
seemed to help ine I lay my recovery to the
Pink Pills for Palo People. Ou going to
Newark, W Jersey, in April, I gave tip
taking the pills, and have net since returned
to using them, although I am confident they
are a splendid thing, aud I will probably use
them again."
Mr. Stacey's remarkable case is but one of
a thousand others which have been cured by
these magic pills where all else had failed.

Rosin's Many Uses.
It is perhaps not commonly know!)
that the finer grades of rosin are used
in the manufacture of paper. Cheaj)
printers' Ink contains rosin. Rosin also
enters into the composition of scented
toilet soaps, of sealing wax, of putty,
of sizing and of varnishes. It likewise
furnishes by distillation a lubricating oil
for machinery which competes even
with petroleum in cheapness.

With a better understanding of the
transient nat ure of the many phya
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andia
everywhere esteemed so highly by al)
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep*
Utable druggists.
If in tlie enjoyment of good health,
and the system "is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
