MRS. SMITH'S PEDDLER'S TRAP.
CIIMSMA8 was a day of rejoicing In
the Smith family. The good lady
of the house httd Just succeeded lu per
fecting an Invention which is ultimate
ly destined to revolutionize the great
branches of Industry known by the
term "Itinerant," and to deprive hosts
of men of a lucrative employment.
The domicile of the Smiths la located on
Mission street, Just between Woodward's
Gardens and the city front. It may be
recognized by the front yard and the
very peculiar canvas apparatus which Is
attached to the fence. This pleoe of
canvas stretches from the top of the
fence to a pair of poles firmly fastened
to the sidewalk below, and forms an in
clined plane, reaching nearly to the
round, which bears a close resemblance
to the netting used, In gymnasiums and
circuses as a safe receptacle for falling
acrobats. This canvas arrangement is
only a portion of the great Invention al
luded to ; the principal port of which Is
located beneath the doorstep. For sev
eral years past Mrs. Bmlth, In common
with her sister housewives throughout
the city, has been harassed by the visits
of peddlers, sewing-machine agents,
medical canvassers, vegetable venders,
traveling tin smiths, Insurance solicitors
and a host of the other gentry who an
noy and render miserable the female
population of the city. Mrs. Smith, less
fortunate than many housewives, Is
without a servant and has hitherto been
compelled to make all the way from 800
to 400 trips a day to the front door. In
fact, the bell rang, tinkled, buzzed and
rattled almost contlnu ally, aud bo great
was the strain upon the tlntlnnabulat-
ing apparatus that a new wire has to be
put In two or three times a month, and
even the knob wore out quarterly. This
state of affairs was not only expensive
and troublesome, but it was gradually
reducing Mrs. Smith to a skeleton, and
she dally waxed weaker and more atten
uated. She calculated, and calculated
very correctly, that she traveled from
six to eight miles a day In her tramps
to the front door. At last Mrs. Smith,
Inspired by desperation, hit upon the
plan which has since proved so effec
tive. A skillful machinist was imme
diately employed and directed to con
struct beneath the front doorstep a com
pact and powerful apparatus connected
with a spring on the Inside of the thresh
hold, which, when pressed by the light
foot of Mrs. Smith, would suddenly
bring into play the great forces of the
hidden machinery and preBS the door
steps upward with such terrific velocity
that its occupant would be hurled into
space. The flying peddler was supposed,
after being precipitated from the door
step, to describe a graceful parabola
which would have its termination in the
depths of the canvas. The receptacle
being au inclined plane, waa expected to
gently drop the involuntary acrobat to
the sidewalk below. At last the ingeni
ous apparatus was completed aud the
mechanic assured the'inventress that her
idea would make a young peddler shoot,
thus unconsciously inverting an, old ex-,
pression. He also expressed his confi
dence that the aforesaid canvas would
invariably be the place of descent. On
the day before Christmas Mrs. Smith
placed a chair near the door and serene
ly awaited the jingle which would Indi
cate the approach of her first Victim.
She had not long to wait. Before ten
minutes had expired the bell gave a pre
monitory tinkle. Opening the door
Mrs. Smith smiled on the outsider with
more complaisance than she had mani
fested for years before. She did not for
get, however, to place her foot in con
venient proximity to the llttl spring be
fore mentioned.-
" Madam," ingenuously asked the un
conscious intruder, may I sell you a
sewing" ' "
He was, however, called away so sud
denly that he had no time to complete
his question, for Mrs. Smith pressed the
spring, the step flashed upward, and lo !
the poor sewing machine man disappear
ed. Alas for human ingenuity, howev
er, he re-appeared at the wrong place,
and instead of falling into the canvas
so kindly prepared for his convenience,
struck against the fence with great vio
lence, Just after completing his third
somersault.
The neighbors thought that an unfor
tunate aeronaut had been pitched from a
balloon, aud flocked to thespot In scores.
The poor fellow had a leg fractured, and
the doctor across the street added anoth
er to his list of patients.
The machine was immediately perfect
ed, and by Christmas morning operated
with beautiful accuracy. During the
morning Mr. Smith advocated the re
moval of the canvas on the ground that
intruders deserved to suffer. In the wee
sma ' hours of yesterday morning, how
ever, he reached his house in acondltion
of seml-inebrlety which made his foot
Bteps uncertain, and while entering the
door he was Incautious enough to place
his right foot on the little spring before
he removed bis left foot from the door
step. The result was a rapid tvrlal flight,
a full Into the canvas, a slide on the
sidewalk and a walk back to the door.
This little incident removed the objec
tions which Mr. Smith had formerly to
the canvas, and yesterday he watched
fifty or sixty pedlers and canvassers
practice muscular contortion during their
flights from the step to the canvas,wtth
out feeling the slightest regret that they
were uninjured. It will be proper In
conclusion to inform the publlo that
Mrs. Smith has reserved the patent right
of her wondeiful invention. (Van Fran,
clsco Chronicle.
A LITTLE GIRL'S SECRET.
THE first day of the New Year, and
the children were quarreling 1 A
bad beginning 1
"Alice, and Harriet, take your knit
tlngwork. John and Henry, you may
each bring nine armfuls of wood into
the wood shed. Mabel you may take
your slate and write, and I guess If, they
are let alone, the two babies will take
care of themselves. Now for half an
hour, let us have silence. If any body
speaks let it be in a whisper."
So there was silence In the kitchen,
except the noise the mother made
with her pie-making aud the occasional
prattle of the two babies. There was
generally a good deal of noise at Num
ber Thirteen ; anil sometimes pretty
often it wasn't pleasant noise. The
children were all young, and all wanted
their own way. Hut they had learned
to mind their mother.
Little Mabel sat with her slnte on her
knee, looking thoughtful. She wrote
and erased, and wrote again with much
pains-taking labor. At last she seemed
satisfied, and going to ber mother said,
in a whisper:
" May I have a little piece of white
paper and pencil ont of your drawer Y
I want to copy something."
"What Is It V let me see," said her
mother.
Mabel hesitated and blushed, but held It
up lo her, saying, " You wont tell, will
you, mother1"
Her mother read It twice over ; tears
gathered in her eyes.
" You won't tell anybody, will you?
entreated little Mabel.
" No, no, certainly not 1 It shall be
a little secret between you and me."
She got a nice piece of paper, and
sharpened the pencil anew for the child,
although she was pie-making.
Mabel copied It very carefully, and
laid It away in the bottom of her hand
kerchief box, saying!
" I shall see it often there, and nobody
goes there but mother and I."
But it happened one day that Harriet
was sent to distribute the pile of clean
handkerchiefs from the Ironing into the
different boxes, and as Mabels was
empty, she saw the writing. It was so
short that she took It in at a glance :
Resolved to Alwasspek pleasant when
Enybody speks cros.
Madel Ford.
Somehow it fixed itself in Harriet's
mind,and that evening she was busy with
pen and ink. The result was a writing
in Harriet's handkerchief-box, with a
resolution written more neatly, but the
same effect ;
Resolved : that I will try this year
to return pleasant words for cross ones.
Harriet Ford.
It made a difference that was easy to
Bee, when two of the children began to
practice this resolution. There was less
of quarreling.
" That's mine I You better mind
your own business I" said John to Har
riet one day, when she took up his top
and was putting K in his drawer.
" But, John, mother wants me to clear
up the room," said Harriet.
" Well I want the top to stay there !"
Bald John, obstinately.
" Well, perhaps it's no matter. A
toy isn't much litter," said Harriet,
pleasantly.
John was fully prepared for a contest.
I'm afraid he would rather have one.
He stared. Then he looked ashamed.
Then bespoke.
" What made you say that, Harriet V"
Harriet laughed and colored a little.
"Tell me! what made youV" John
insisted.
" Come here, and I'll show you,"
said she.
She took him to the clothes-press,
where was a row of pretty handkerchief-boxes,
each labelled.
She opened little Mabel's and took
cut the clean, soft pile of handkerchiefs.
" Look there !"' said Bhe. John read.
"The good little thing! She never
does quarrel, anyhow," said John.
"Sol thought I better put one In
mine, too," said Harriet, aud showed
hers 1 'outh't Comjmnion,
Worklngmen.

A Darkey Preacher on Walking.
BKOTIIF.H Bell, of the Colored Beth
el Congregation, a few nights since
at a prayer meeting, took occasion, In
the course of an exhortation, upon the
duties of life, to fire a passing shot at
the walking inanln, now so prevalent,
and development some facts, In relation
to pedestrian feats that seem hitherto to
have escaped notice. He snld :
" My beloved bredren and sisters, dur

What Is Ina Nlckla.
It may not be generally known that
we have, in the nlckle five cent piece of
out coinage, a key to the tables of linear
measures and weights. The diameter of
this coiu Is two centimeters and the
weight is five, grammes. Five of them
placed in a row will, of course, give the
length of the decimeter, and two of
them will,weigha decagramme. 'As the
kiloiter is a cubio meter, the key to the
measure of length is also the key to
measures of capacity. Any person,
therefore, who is fortunate enough to
own a five-cent nlckle may carry in bis
pocket the entire metric system of
weights and measures.
The Errors of History.
One by one our Illusions vanish.
Notwithstanding the fact that Captain
Kidd had been held up for nearly two
hundred years in songs and ballads as a
bloodthirsty sea-robber, and that he was
actually convicted of murder at the Old
Bailey In London and hung lu chaius.it
Is now alleged by a gentlemen who
has carefully examined the whole mat
ter, that Kidd, so far from being himself
a pirate, was a brave and loyal seaman,
who faithfully endeavored to suppress
freebooters in the East Indies.
SUNDAY LEADING
Little Duties.
A letter carrier In one of our large
cities, a few months ago, found on
reaching the post office, after a long
round of delivery, a letter In his bn
that he had over looked. It would have
taken him half an hour to return anil
deliver It. He was very tired and bun
gry. The letter was an ordinary unim
portant looking missive. He thrust it
Into his pocket and delivered It on hU
first round next day.
What consequences followed t For
want of that letter a great firm had fail
ed to meet their engagements, their
notes had gone to protest; a mill closed,
and hundreds of poor workmen were
thrown out of employment.
The letter-carrier himself was dis
charged for his oversight and neglect.
His family suffered during the winter
for many of the necessaries of life, but
his loss was of small account compared
to the enormous amount of misery caus
ed by bis single failure in duty.
Another case: a mechanic who had
been out of work a long time In New
York went last September to collect a
small sum due to him. The gentleman
who owed It, being annoyed at some tri
fle, Irritably refused the money. The
man went to his wretched home, an
maddened by the sight of his hungry
wife and children, went out to the back
yard aud hanged himself.
The next day an old employer sent to
offer him a permanent situation. Here
was a life lost and a family left paupers
because a bill of a dollar or two was not
paid at the right time.
The old Spanish proverb says, " There
is no such thing as a trifle in the world."
When we think how Inextricably the
lives of all mankind are tangled togeth
er, it seems as If every word or action
moved a lever which set In motion a
gigantic machinery, whose effort is
wholly beyond our control. For this
reason If for no other, let us be careful
to perform promptly and well the duties
of life even the most trivial. Youth's
Companion,
Not as It Was.
Thereis a creed abroad that a young
man is better alone, free from all Incum
brance of wife or children ; but In the
old times it was not so. Then children
were esteemed " a heritage and gift that
cometh from the Lord j" now, selfish
luxury, worldliness and the love of out
ward show have brought our young men
ay, and some women too to such a
pass that they feel, nay, openly declare,
every child born to them is a new ene
my; and marriage, Instead of being
" honorable " to all, Is a folly, a deri
sion, or a dread. ' Why Is this t And is
it the men's fault, or the women's?
Both, perhaps; yet I think chiefly the
women's. Feeble, useless, half-educated;
taught to believe that ignorance is
amusing and helplessness attractive ; no
wonder the other sex shrinks from tak
ing upon itself, not a help, but a burden
charming enough before marriage but
after t The very man who at first ex
ulted in his beautiful ornamental wife,
his sweet, humble Circassian slave, will
by-and-by be the first to turn around
and scorn her.
Ye Are My Witnesses.
" Ye are my witnesses," saith the
Lord, " Ye shall be witnesses unto
me," said the Saviour on Mount Ol
ivet in his last utterance before the
ascension, "both In Jerusalem, in
all Juda, and lu Samaria, and unto the
uttermost parts of the earth." This ev
idently applies to believers, and through
all time and in every part of the earth,
" till none shall know him." Now a
witness must testify to facts as he know
them "the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth."
ISF The clergy of various denomina
tions in Minneapolis have taken up the
movement against extravagance at fu
nerals, of which there have been a few
sigus recently in various parts of the
east. A circular was prepaied, sent out
and signed, which sets forth that there
has often been observed in funerals need
less confusion and pain owing to the
unwise action of well-meaning friends,
and that custom has inclined to make
them more and more expensive, until,
in some cases, the desire to render lov
ing tribute to the dead or to conform to
what is thought to be required, involve
a burdensome out lay. Accordingly, it
is recommended, that so far as may be,
funerals be from the house and Siat the
services be separated from the inter
ment. -
0The soul that is full of pure and
generous affections fashions the features
into its own angelic likeness, as the rose
which grows iu grace and blossoms Into
loveliness which art can not equal.
There is nothing on earth which so quick
ly transfigures a personality, exalts, Ir
radiates with heaven's own impress of
loveliness, as a pervading kindness of
the heart.
