It is estimated by the American Ag riculturist that there arc 75,000,00:) horses in the world, Europe being I credited with 38,0 ) ),030, North Amer ica with 17,000,000, and Asia with | 9,000,000. The mules and asses in the world are said to number 9,000,- 000. A good deal of discussion has been called forth by a new order of the Chicago board of education requiring city teachers to live in the city. This order it is charged was made in the interest of local butchers, boardiug house keepers and other providers. Iu any event it cotne3 as a great hardship to many teachers who prefer to live outside the city limits, aud an agita tion for its repeal is being made. Bishop Cheshire (Episcopal) of North Carolina, who is at present in the North to secure funds in his work iu the South, says: "It would probably astonish a groat many north ern people to know that the only town in North Carolina where no negro may either live or own a foot of ground is settled entirely by New Engend ers, au l that there is not a Southern born adult among its citizens." General Henry's order prohibiting the foreclosure of mortgages on Porto lticau plantations is a good illustra tion of the beneficent despot so nec essary to do things while others are wrangling as to how they shall be done. We are finding in our new pos sessions some fine illustrations of a doctrine only discussed academically among ourselves. Our experience, I however, shows the use some of these rusty doctrines may be put to on oc casion. This is not the country in which to repeat Carlvle's assertion that a wise, beneficent despot is the best kind of a government, if you can enly fiud him; hut, all the same, we have given three or four of such rul ers to subject populations, aud are getting good results from them. That the new bankruptcy law is do ing well is testified hv the fact that many petitions in bankruptcy already filed iu New York state l o'.ate to fail ures that occurred from two to 10 years ago. These failures may have been entirely honest, as doubtless most of them were; but this made no differ ence, says Christian Work. Bo long as judgments hung over them it was impossible for bankrupts to enter business except under the name of another person. They did not dare to invest a dollar they could call their own. In this way their creditors as well as themselves often suffered. As a result there was little incentive for a bankrupt to attempt to to get ou his feet again, and creditors, for whose protection the state law wns especially intended, received nothing. Instead of the law being to their advantage it was just the reverse. This state of things the new federal bankruptcy law removes. It is now possible for hon est debtors to secure discharge from old debts and to make a fresh start iu business. The law bids fair to prove n leal blessing, and the only wonder is that the statesmanship of the coun try could not have produced an ade quate measure lo'ig ago. More llrlti.li Perdilv.

JV i B come- I |'A .5 j J was the reason \ Beth looked over |\ wall. II \' 'I shall go into the highways and hedges for guests, A because Angle basn't come," she * thought. Under the wall crouched a bleary looking man. Beth hadn't really been looking for this kind of a guest, but he was in the hedge, that was cer tain, so she said: "Won't you please come to my tea party?" The mau looked up, surprised. "Hey," he asked. "N-u-no," said Beth, "not exactly hay, hut mud and water tea, iu aeorn cups." This time the man grunted and made no reply. "There's more coming," Beth hast ened to say. "Bridget is baking cookies and lot 3 of good things; and there's always bread and milk, but Augie and me pretend first aud eat second." "I'll come when yon aro through pretending," said the mau. "But Augie hasn't come, and I have come into the highways and hedges aud found you. Father preached to do it, and he never told us what to do if the hedge people would not come, either." It was a perplexed face, framed in a pink sun-bonnet, that looked down on the man. He got up at once, and then Beth saw that he limped, and was very much dirtier than tho people she was accustomed to eat with. "I'll go right up to the house, now, and get the real tea," she said, "and —aud if you Hhould want to wash your face aud hands, there's a brook in the hollow, hud I'll bring a towel." The mau was dripping aud much cleaner when she returned, loaded with things to eat and with a white towel over her arm. After he had emerged from his rubbing he had lost something of the bleary look that Beth wondored at, and he sat gravely down opposite her and in front of the flat rock, whereon their feast was spread. "Will you or I ask grace?" she asked. "You'd better, I reckon; I'm out of practice," said the man, grimly. "Make us good aud thankful, please Lord," said Beth with folded hands. Then she served her guest. He ate like one famished, aud when the end of the bill of fare was reached he heaved a mighty sigh. "That's good," he said; "first I've eat since yesterday." "Do you live near here?" asked Beth timidly. "Yes, I did," said the man. "I don't now." "Have you moved?" "Goin' to," he replied, pulling his hat down over his eyes. "I've met with bad luck," ho con tinued. Beth waited patiently. "You see, I've got a pard, a boy, my nephew really, au' him an' rne's been keepin' switch over to the bend. He's got n thing the matter with his log, not just now happened, like mine, but growed so from trouble with his hip. That boy is smart an' all that, but he'd ruther walk 'en anything. So wo found out what it 'ud take to fix him np, an' we saved fur it. scrimped aud saved on every corner, an' tho boy he trapped some animals aud got some birds and staffed 'em, an' it brought him in right smart, so at last we had enough, au' Diek he fixed it. I was to go to town—'cause he's lame—an' get the money put to gether in a note or something like that, an' he'd keep switch till I eome back. Then we'd go to the city to gether aud I'd leave him with the doctors an' I'd come back and wait till he'd git well. "So I took the box, with it all in, an' I started." There was a pause. Then he went on slowly: "You see, miss, I used to drink, but Dick— Dick's his name—never thought I'd do it again, and I wouldn't, I reckon, if so be I hadn't turned my ankle down tho road there close to Bob's half-way house, an' I limped in, an' the smell an' all made me wild, beside the pain. Bob filled me up with whisky, an' I never knew nothin' more till I woke up this morning with the box clean gone an'my boy wMtin' an' trust;: l ' me—that's why I'm go in 1 to move. I ain't never going back to face his big bine, trustin' eyes again" "Hotv did you lose the box?" asked Beth, much interested. "Did you spend it all?" "So. I don't recollect opening it, or even seeing it, after I got to Bob's, but I rechon he or some of 'em that uz there 3eeu it, 'cause it's gone," "Might be it's lost," suggested Beth. "I've joggled things out of my pocket stubbing my toe, somotimes. i Did you look?" "No, miss, if you knew Bob's place an' the men that's there, like I dc, you'd not look either." "Where did you fall?" "Out in the timber right ues,v Bob's; might 'a' been a trap. Old oak with roots just a sprawlin,' an' me a lookin' kindy longin' an' kindy dreadin' at j 3ob's windows, so I fell like a plumb gawk over them trip-ups." "If father was here he'd help you, 'cause he knows Bob and everybody. Father' 3 a minister, but everybody likes him, only he's away this after noon. I'll ask mother if I can go on my wheel down to the timber and I'll try nud find the box. You wait here while I go." So Beth went up to the house. "I've got some highways work tc do, mother; can I go on my wheel to the timber?" she asked. "Highways?" "Yessum—an' hedges. I'll be good and not be gone long." "All right, dear," said her mother, I who was used to what they -called Beth's queernesses, but knew she was to be trusted. The man lying on his back beside ; the flat rock saw the pink sunbonnel flash by on the other side of the hedgs and knew she had Btarted on her er rand. It was not very far away—Bob'i place—or the poor fellow with ths lame ankle could not have reached their hedge. She rode straight past it to the old oak with sprawling roots and there, sitting quietly reading, was 1 Bob's only treasure, his young son, | Bob junior, a delicate-looking lad. who seemed too refined for such s home. He looked up and smiled as the ! small figure, bent over the handle i burs, came flying up, for he knew J Beth, as almost every one did whe lived about there. "Oh, Bob, I'm so glad you're hers —you'll help me, won't you?" she ' said, and then she plumped down be side him and told her story. Bob junior looked sober over parts of it, but when she got through he said: "You were right, Beth, he losl it out here, and I found it and have il 1 upstairs in my room. I know Dick and his uncle right well, and—and ; I'm awful sorry about his getting things to drink here. "Wo are going away soon. Father has promised. 1 am going to school, and I'm so glad. Father isn't so bad, Beth; he wouldn't steal or anything, and he is good tc j me. He hadn't even thought about it being wrong to sell such stuff, till your father came down when I was sc sick and talked to him. He thinks lots of your father." "Fathers as fathers." remarked Beth, wisely, "are good any way you find them, aren't they. Bob? But I'm so glad yon found the box." "So am I; and I'll tell you one thing," said Bob slowly, "I'm afraid Dick's uncle isn't to be trusted with it. He intends to do right, and does, when Dick is around. But you tell him it's all safe, that I have it and will give it to your father, who will fix it all up for Dick. Don't you think that is best?" Yes, Both thought it was, so she rode toward home again to tell the man and to wait until her father had come in from the country. She heard her father's buggy wheels rattling down the road before she reached home, however, and she stopped to wait for bim. He was somewhat surprised over the outcome of tho highways and hedges sermon, but he said nothing about that, only to the man when he met him he stretched out a friendly hand, and after supper the three drove out to where blue-eyed Dick was anxious ly waiting. "Must you tell Dick 'bout this?" asked the man anxiously as they neaved tho bend. "No, not now," said the minister, "for I think yon have learned a lesson that for the sake of your nephew, and my little daughter, if for no other, you will try to keop." The mau stretched out his hand and tho minister grasped it. Behind the 1 tears in the man's eyes glowed a reso lution that this time was going to be 1 kept.—Chicago Becord.

BY ItEV. D. D. BABCUCK. [This story wins the prize of 530 offered by the Now York Voice for the best true tale of heroism submitted by a preacher.] A motherless boy of eighteen ob tained the reluctant consent of his fnther—an advocate of the peace prin ciples of the Religious Society of Friends—to enlist for the war to liberate Cuba. Being a fine shot and something of a "rough rider," he joined a company of cavalry. Not long afterward ho made application, and was transferred to the navy and given the appointment of assistant electrician on the cruiser Buffalo, named after his home city. He had worked himsolf through the various departments of an electrical manu factory, and had served some time in the adjusting room for the finished products of the factory. So, as assistant electrician, he had charge in his watch of the electric lights of the six decks and of the great flash light. i His boyish imagination hadpicturod a patriotic company of young men, the ship's crew with whom he should find noble fellowship. When he found them all given to the use of intoxicat ing drinks, tobacco, profanity and obscenity, he suffered keen disap pointment, and was much inclined . to let down his standard a little to find sympathy and fellowship. He had smoked cigarß for a week, when one day ho stood alone with a cigar in his mouth, thinking of his brothers and sisters and the sainted mother whom he could scarcely remember. He took the cigar from his lips, and, as he wrote his father, "I throw it away and made up my mind to go thru alone." On November 0, 1898, the Buffalo left New York with a crew of 350 men and 400 extra sailors for Dewey's fleet at Manila. When about 600 miles out, the great November gale struck them, anil about midnight "all hands" were called out, and the assembled men wero informed that the ship had received such damage that she was filling, with the prospect of founder ing unless some means oould be de vised to stop the leakage. Most of the men fell into a panic, and with cries of childish terror many ran to provide themselves with life preservers and to secure control of the ship's boats. A few heroic men set | resolutely about the work of plugging the leak and repairing the damage. The young electrician looked for a moment at the strange conduot of the unthinking mass, and turned away to find something to do in the dynamo room. As he reached the hatch the chief electrician rushed past him cry ing frantically, "The ship is Binking! The ship is sinking!" aud disappeared among the life-preservers. In the dynamo-room he found the machinery deserted, and devoted him self to the task of keeping up the ship's lights. For twelve anxious hours he worked on without seeing a human being, or hearing from the workers who wore trying to save the ship. Some time after 12 o'clook the executive officer made a visit to the dynamo-room to thank the electrician for the splendid service of the lights which had made it possible to save the : ship with the human freight. Then he learned that a hungry and sleepy boy who had determined "to go thru alone" would like to be relieved. The electrician was found hiding in one of the ship's cutters, surrounded by a pile of life-preservers, not yet free from the terror of the night. He was court-martialed and dismissed from the service in disgrace. The Buffalo returned to New Y'ork, and after repairs in the dry-dock, started again for Manila. Drawing Water Under Fire. The following breezy anecdote of the Santiago campaign is sent to the Youth's Companion by a Rough Rider. He was wonuded in the blockhouse fight, but lives to tell the story. A fruitful source of suffering, and one of the principal causes of the dis ease which later assaulted ' our ranks was the lack of good drinking water. During the lurid first of July the San Suan River, roiled and muddied by constant fording, furnished our only means of liquid refreshment; and in deed it continued to be our chief source of supply throughout those weary days spent in the trenches be fore the surrender of the city. On the night of the first, under cover of darkness, Spanish sharp shooters took up commanding posi tions in trees near all the principal fords, and made the task of filling canteens extremely dangerous. However, we of the Rough Riders discovered u well near the blockhouse on the hill we had taken and were holding, and from it we drew our supply of water during the days we remained in this position. The loen j tiou of the well was au exposed one, and was commanded by the fire of the sharpshooters posted well within the Spanish lines, where it was difficult j to dislodge them. Already several men had been hit while drawing water, so that when, on the morning of the third, I was \ ordered to take a pail and aeoompany n colored trooper from the Tenth Cavalry to the well, I knew I was setting out on a lather hazardous un dertaking. In the army, however, orders nre orders, so I took my pail and started. | My companion was a big, burly fellow, blnck as ebony, but a brave soldier withal, as were all the men of I that famous regiment. We walked along under oo.ver of the hill until we . had come to a point opposite the well. when my comrade stopped me for a consultation. "Der haint no use both we-uns gwine up ther' and gittin' shot at at the same time," he remarked, and I readily assented. "Well, den, I'se gwine up firs' and get my pail of watah, and den you git yours." I agreed to this arrangement, and we both started, crawling forward on our stomachs and trying to keep the stone coping of the well between us and where we thought the Spaniards were posted. By going slowly and keeping down in the grass, without, so far as we knew, exposing ourselves to view, we gained the well. Then my companion sprang to his feet, grasped the rope, lowered the pail into the well, and began drawing it up, filled. From the moment he leaped up he was exposed to the plain view of the sharp eyes across the val ley, and in a moment a Mauser whistled past. Nothing daunted, the brave fellow kept at his tnsk, despite the fact that another bullet whistled by still oloser to him, until he had filled his pail. Then he dropped down beside me, and my turn had come. Without waiting for the second thought which always weakens a man under fire, I sprang to my feet aud lowered away. "Z-s-s-s!" sang a Mauser, and I leaned a little lower down the well. "Z-3-s-s!" hissed an- i other, and I was tugging at tho rope | like mad. With hands trembling ! with excitement, I filled my pail and j dropped down just as the third bullet went over my head. We had got our water, and all that now remained for us was to crawl off with it. This was no easy task, but we accomplished it, and the men from troop D had hot coffee for break fast that morning. Cliaiod YVltli 8100,000. "There died in Kansas City, Kan., the other day," says George Martin, "a quiet, unobtrusive, modest and never-boastful citizen. He cattle from a Pennsylvonia regiment in 1864, and he became a messenger for the Holli day Express Company, running from Leavenworth to Santa Fe, W. H. Bridgens, the messenger referred to, on one of his trips had SIOO,OOO in greenbacks strapped about his person and secreted in his clothes. There was no one but him and the driver in charge of the coach, and for days they proceeded along their lonesome jour ney without seeing a human face. When yet mauv miles from Santa Fe they were overtaken by a howling band of Indians and a fierce battle was fought. Bridgens and his companion exhausted their ammunition and con tinued tho fight with their knives. Finally they succeeded in unloosing their horses from the stage, and, quickly mounting them, fled through the timber. The savages gave chase and succeeded in separating the two men, but did not capture either of them. Mr. Bridgens still retained his treasure but he lost his way among the crags and canons, and it was more than two weeks before he found his way to the house of a white man. During all this time he subsisted en tirely upon berries and herbs. His long absence caused his employer to believe that he had been robbed and killed by the Indians, and before his return they had made good the money they had given up as lost. When Mr. Bridgens returned with his precious burden still intact they were amazed,and so grateful were they that they presented their young agent with a handsome token of their apprecia tion." A llclglitn Hero. The Belgian State Railway possesses a brave hero in the person of Jules Campion, a porter. On January 11 he suddenly observed that the signal light at the Auvoriat-Namur Junction was extinguished. As he hurried to the post to rekindle it, he was seized by two men, thrown to the grotftid, and stabbed in several parts of his body. His assailants then made off, leaving their victim helpless, as they supposed. But Campion, knowing that tho international express from Paris was nearly due, in spite of his wounds, managed to make his way back to the station, and roused his colleagues, urging them to examine the line, as he suspected mischief. It was found that the two escaped scoundrels had placed a huge bar of iron across the line, with the evident intention of wrecking the international express. The passengers in the train, as it dashed past the juuotion, never dreamed that they owed their safety to the wounded man lying in the sta tion.—London Daily News. A Brave Woiunn. The trsgio story of the beautiful and talented Scottish woman, Helen Irving, is not, perhaps, well-known, although it has been celebrated in song. She had been for some time courted by two goutlemea whose names were Bell and Fleeming. Bell told the girl that if he ever found her inFleeming's company he would kill him. She, however, had a strong re gard for Fleeming, and one day while walking along the romantio banks of the Kit tle, she observed his rival on the other side of the river among the bushes. Consoious of the danger her lover-was in, Bhe passed between him and his enemy, who, firing, shot her dead. Fleeming crossed the river and killed the coward. A heap of stones was raised on the place where the brave woman fell, aud she was buried in the near churchyard. Fleeming, overwhelmed with love aud grief, went abroad but soon returned, and stretching himself on her grave, ex pired. He was buried by her Bide. A Photograph Restored Itcneon.

First and Probably tho J.ast For Uncle Sam Will lie Tested This Year. The first and probably the last monster gun to be built in this coun try is neariug completion at Watervliet arsenal, and, if nothing goes amiss, may bo submitted to its iiring tests iu tho fall. The finished gun will be five feet three inches at the muzzle. Its total length will be a few inches under fifty feet. The powder chamber will be dighteen inches in diameter by nine feet in length and will hold for a full charge over half a ton of brown powder. The projectile will weigh 2370 pounds. It will leave tho muzzle with a velocity of 2000 feet pel second, and at this velocity the flying mass will have a striking energy of 64,084 foot-tons, or sufficient to lift sixty-four of the biggest freight loco motives ten feet in the air. At the muzzle the shell would punch a six teen-inch hole through an iron plate over a yard in thickness, and at two miles distance it would pass through a twenty-seven and a half inch plate. Notwithstanding its great power Uncle Sam will probably never build another, for while the superiority of this kind of gnu was incontestable eight or ten years ago, it does not compare in efficiency with ordnance of the modern type. For a given ap propriation Uncle Sam can, by build ing twelve-inch guns, secure over twioe as many guns of much greater penetration and effioienoy. A French Pickpocket. There is a dilettantism even in thieving. A Parisian pickpocket who is now enjoying a well-earned rest from the excitements of his profession, has revealed some of his very onrious methods. At one time he donned the uniform of an officer of marines', dec orated with the Legion of Honor, and found his way into the society of naval officers, much to their detriment and to his own enriohment. At an other time, in the guise of a priest, he visited ecclesiastical establishments, and under the pretext of charity re lieved the holy fathers of their little superfluous cash. Then again be would array himself in odinary civ ilian dress, representing himself as a silk merchant, and would have bales of that commodity sent to his address. Then the dealer in bicycles became ' the victim of this versatile swindler. At last, as his ropcrtoire necessarily became limited, and as his fame had preceded him to one of his intended victims, he had the misfortune to bo recognized and handed over to the police.—Westminster Gazette. The Beggars' Queen. Mendicants are to havo their nominal queen at one of the forthcoming carnival masqneiados. The person selected to act as Heine des Gueux is not, however, of the begging fraternity, and her title only symbolizes an old fashioned custom, which is to be re vived. She is a young woman of eighteen, or thereabouts, who, every day, helps her parents to sell cow heel and calves' heads in the central ' markets. Her reign is to begin and end on the Mi-Caroine festival, when she will shut up shop, aud, arrayod in gala robes, will bo carried in triumph around Paris, with an aooompanying king and maids of honor.
