He was a day nan and waa going homo about 11 o'clock with his foar-wheeler Mid stopped for a last drink at a public house, when a man who was at the bur spoke to him. The man said he was In trouble. He had lost a child and, being oat of em­ ployment, he had no means of burying it, and of all things he was anxions to avoid the disgrace of having it bnricd by the pariah. He had man­ aged to buy a coffin, he said, and his idea was to take it at night time to some cemetery and buy it himself in consecrated ground. " 'And If yon are agreeable, to take me and the little box as far as cemetery,' he says, 'I will willingly give you a crown for your trouble. I'd carry it there myself, only it might be awkward if I was stopped with a coffin in my possession.' "It was a queer kind of a job, but the cabman had bad luck ail! day, and it was five shillings easily earhed, and he agreed on 'condition that the coffin was only a little one.' M 'She was only 9 months old when she died, pretty creator,' said the chap, wiping his eyes with his coat cuff, 'and small at that.' "So the cabman stayed at the corner, and presently the chap came back with the little coffin in a black bag, and with a garden spade under his coat They drove to the cemetery and round to the back part of it, and the chap having put th$ coffin over the pailings, climbed over himself. He wasn't very long gone, and when he returned he gave the cabman a crown. " '1 shan't ride back with you,' says he. The job has upset my nerves, and I shall be better for a walk.' "So he went off, and the cabman, be­ ginning by this time to think there was something wrong about the business, took one of his lamps and looked into the cab, and there on the mat was a lady's gold necklace, new and with the shop-ticket still on it, and an odd ear-ring as well, which was also new. He was sure now that there was some­ thing wrong, and, after having a bhort drive round while he thought it over, he came back to the cemetery pailing and got over at the same spot the chap had, taking a lamp with him, and found, as he had expected, that it was easy to trace the footsteps in the soft earth from the place where the lad had jumped, and he traced it on till they came to an end, and then kicked up the loose soil, and hardly a foot deep was the little coffin, buried in the bag. As soon as he lifted it he waa made aware by a clinking sound inside that he was not far out In his suspicion, and with­ out staying to open it he drives with it straight to the police station, and there it was found it contained more than £700 worth of jewelry that had b9en stolen from a shop in the west end a few nights before; and the chap got took on the cabman's description of him and received seven years, and the cabman, who was ever afterward known as the 'resurrectionist,' he got £100 from the jeweler; and there is no doubt that the money was the death of him," said the narrator, the meeting breaking up, and we all rising to take our leave. "It got him into drinking habits and he never got out of 'em till the} settled him.* f*fv; Recent Inventions.

The doctor to this dying chief was pleased to say that the missionaries had traded with him for !>»• soul. People continued to die in that town, and they were sure some one was stealing the souls of the people, so they called the doctor again, and the richest man in town was found to be the witch. Of course the man had to die. He ordered all his slaves out and armed them and declared himself ready to meet the new chief's party. The rich man being the stronger, they ended it after a quarrel. We heard the noise and went over to the town, and the face of the uganga was something fearful. He was dressed and painted until he was quite dis­ guised. That matter did not satisfy the superstitions of the people, as peo­ ple continued to die. The next we knew they had taken to the valley poor helpless woman, a wife of the de chief, and killed her.

There Shall Be Ne Mere Knights. Queer ideas we nineteenth-century people have about names and titles. Take this great organization of work- ingmen, the hard-working, industrious toilers of our land--the Knights of La­ bor. Could inspiration suggest a name more misleading and inappropriate? If there was anything in the world that the plumed knight didn't do, it was work. If there was one thing he con­ sidered degrading, it was honest toil. If there was a creature in all the world for which he had a profound contempt, it was a workingman. He called the honest laborer a hind, a churl, base borne, ignoble, a clown. He believed that the workingman was made of coarser clay than the knight of gentle blood; I think he even doubted if the laborer had a soul. A cowardly, quar­ relsome, hard-drinking, bragging, thieving, "high-born" knave, who bar­ ricaded himself and his horse in a ton of armor plating, and with a lance twenty feet long rode into a mob of half-naked wretches armed with bows and arrows, and called it war. Why the honest, brave, toiling workers of to­ day, free-born men, should want to call themselves "knights," rather than yeo­ men, I don't know. Ah! brethern, the English isn't the only man who "dearly loves a lord." We seem to love even the faded reminiscence of one. Why, out in Emporia, Kan., while I was waiting for a "thunderbolt train" that was six hours late, a voice called into the waiting-room, "Sir Walter 1* and "Sir Walter" said "Hey ?" and got up. I observed "Sir Walter." The grim old knight wore a sword-belt three sizes too small for him, and his rapier hung down between his legs. His boots wore the ruddy hue of boots that shuddered at the scent of blacking; large, roomy, many-wrinkled boots they were, and the soil of the Kansas corn-field clung to them in gouts and patchea His black .pantaloons, scant in the lean pattern of a bygone day, bagged fearfully at the bunched and bony knees, and his black frock-coat was a night-mare. But Sir Walter's hat was the hat of a Plumed Knight, and it lent to his grizzled face and bony figure the genial aspect of a soare- crow that had gone through a nyflkery store. "Sir Walter" looked a ^Haent for a convenient corner, but iKling none, turned his face toward the stove, projected his underlip a scant half- inch, and with one sibilant, well- directed shot put out the fire, tossed his now useless quid in after it, and without pausing to gaze upon the ruin, followed "Sir George" out of the door. They were knights of something-- omniscient Providence only knows wliat--but they were knights, and pos­ sibly, barons. They looked barren.-- Burdeite. A Long Look Ahead. They were sitting together in the warm parlor saying little, but thinking much. But lovers do not need tit say much to be companionable. "There's a language that looks And a silence that speaks t A fomothing that cannot be told." ' The little dock on the mantle for a Considerable time had been the only speaker. Its tick, tick, tick, tick, seemed to the youth to say, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her. To the maiden it said leap year, leap year, leap year, and its reiteration of this phrase moved the maid to break the silence: "How funny some people are?* she said. "Funny?" "Yes, some people who are going to be married." «Oh!" "Yes, some want to be married in balloon, some on the middle arch of a bridge, some in a boat, some in a rail­ road train, some on horseback, some on the edge of a precipice, some down in a coal mine--" "Yes, I have notioed it" i "What is their object I wonder?"' • "Marriage, of course." . "Well, I'll tell you what I think. They get married in this way so that they can tell their .children and their grandchildren they were married uifder peculiar circumstances, as for instance, your mother and me, children, were fnarried in u coal mine, or your grand­ mother and me, children, were married in a balloon." "I'll bet that,s just the reason," said the maiden. "Of course it is the reason." There was a pause. Then the maiden with a glowing cheek said: "I've been thinking, John." "Yes ?" hejsaid, interrogatively. "I've been thinking how funny it would be " (a pause and a deeper blush.) "Well, Bella, you've been thinking what?" "I've been thinking how funny it would be if " X. "Yes." "If when the subject marriage comes up thirty or forty years hence you can point to me and say: 'Why, children, your grandmother proposed to me in leap year and we were married a few weeks after.' " John is very busy these days furnish­ ing a nice little cottage and Bella is superintending the making of her wed­ ding dress.--Boston Courier. The Lady, the Burglar, and the Dog. A dog fiancier declares that a watch dog is of no use to a lady, because if he barks and arouses her she is more frightened than is the burglar; while a dog that will attack without barking is sure not to be a social companion, such as a lady likSs to have in her boudoir. "I once sold a fine bull-terrier to an elderly lady, who, distrusting servants, and living all alone in her house, thought she needed such a protector. Coming down to light the fire one morning, she was horrified to find her dog grimly watching a burly ruffian in the kitchen. ' *If you please, marm,'said the man, touching his cap as she entered, 'I ain't took nothin' yet That 'ere beast o'yourn would a tore me to small bits if I had. He's been a-keepin' his eye on me, marm, and if Pd stirred a step he'd a been at me. I've put in a most uncommon nasty night, marm, and I do hope you won't be hard on me.' "She was not hard upon him. She gave him his breakfast and allowed him to go unmolested. Then she came round to my place with the dog and sold him back to mo at half price, say­ ing that if I had told her he was so re­ morseless brute she would never al­ lowed him in her house at all.*--Kan­ sas City Time*.

We are boarding with a lady who saves remnants of food for her washer­ woman's hens. My little girl came lb to my room the other afternoon and with quite a serious look on her face said to me: "Mamma, 1 shouldn't think Ellen's hens would be a bit healthv." "Why not?" I asked. "Why, Miss gives them all her old swill" WHERE THE GOLD FISHES W£NT. A little 3-year-old boy wished to bury his gold fishes that died. His mother gave him a spoon to dig a grave in the garden, and watched him while he buried them and marked the place. The next morning he wished to go out and visit the grave of his fishes, but soon came in saying they were gone, and he thought the devil had got their bodies, but he knew God had got their souls.

HARD ON THE V. D.'a. While making a professional call on a child, the grandmother, who has great faith in doctors, as I know from past I experience, was telling of a remedy used | as a poultice by some lady twenty-five ; years ago with success, and then added innocently: "I guess she did not doctor I much any way, for she is alive yetl" I A PRACTICAL TEST. I Johnny, who is 4 years old, was playing in the yard one day, and A lady who lives close by wished to have the , eggs, if any were laid since her last ! visit to the hennery, brought in. She said to the little boy: "Johnny, will you go to the hennery and see if there ; are any eggs there?* Don't bring in the ohina ones; leave them there; but if there be any others bring them in." Johnny started to do the bidding, and soon returned with two or three broken eggs and his pinafore soiled. The lady seeing hii&ooming, exclaimed: "Oh, Johnny; how did you break the •gffs?" "Johnny looked at her in surprise, and said: "How could I tell whether they were china eggs or not if I didn't try them?" ^ Hie Pagodss of Bsmak.^:, One feature of the picturesque, how* ever, was ever wanting--the pagodas. They were always in sight, and oftentimes scores of them would be seen. They were a,ll sizes, from twelve feet up to twenty and more. Some were in ruins, with shrubs and trees growing out of their debris; others were white and well pre­ served, with glided umbrellas in their pinnacles and ornamentations of mirror glass Hashing back the sun's rays, and of late evenings looking like light-houses; sometimes they were on little eleva­ tions in the plain, then were mounted on almost inaccessable hill tops. Some were single, others were in groups. Some had kyoung attach­ ments and were monasteries in the neighborhood of villages; others were miles away from any habitation. At Pagahn, once the capital of the kingdom, on a space along the river oi eight miles, by two miles deep, there are said to be 9,999; many of them of great size and gilded from top to bot­ tom. The gilding, however, is much tarnished. There are several here totally different from the ordinary pat­ tern, having the appearance of noble cruciform cathedrals, with windowsand great halls within, and surmounted with lofty domes and conical spires. Both on our upward and downward voyages we anchored opposite this old town. It was a strange sight to look upon, this city of beautiful buildings in every stage of decay, in which no living people dwelt As the sun dropped down its rays were caught by the mirrors, now on one and then on another lofty spird, aa if the spirits of the long since dead were revisiting the scenes of their pious deeds. After nightfall, when the nearly full moon lighted the whole tip with her pale face,the thing was wonderfully weird and touching. Centuries have gone by since a great population lived close by. Superstitions --not cruel and revolting--superti tions whose aliment was a beautiful and dreamy philosophy, caused this strange profusion of vain offerings. The centuries have been laid by with those of the mighty past, and the de­ scendants of the builders of these edi­ fices are just as their forefathers were, governed by the same blind supersti­ tions. Their faculties, naturally bright and joyous, have bsen numbed, and their energies repressed by a religious philosophy which teaches that a life of dead tranquillity and an eternity ot slothful dreaminess is better than an eternity of active joys aud singing de­ lights. The tradition is that an old prophecy taught that if 10,000 pagodas should be erected at dynasty would be eternal But when new ones were erected and a count was had, it invariably turned out that as many old had crumbled into deoay as new ones had been erected. The ten- thousandth pagoda could never be counted. One of the' kings became alarmed. He thought the demons had conspired against the then capital, and so moved it away. But the pagodas remain, and Pagahn is to the Buddhist as sacred as Jerusalem is to the Christum.--Carter H. Harrison, in the Mandalay, India, Dietetic Piety.

This is the power, special to lteelf, possessed alone by Warner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption remedy. This is no new-fangled notion of narcotics and poisons, bnt an old-fashioned preparation of bal­ sams, roota, and herbs, audi aa waa used by our ancestors many yean ago, the formula of which has been secured exclusively by the present manufacturers at great trouble and expense. It is not a mere cold dryer. It is a system-ieacher and npbuilder sad a consumpthm expellant. Where others fail, it wins, because it gets at the constitutional cause and removes it from the system.

On the mainland shore at Hong Kong are large docks, barracks, an observa­ tory, and other solid evidences of En­ gland's firm grasp and power, and comparative quiet reigns; but at the water's edge of the city the whole din and uproar of a Chinese city assaults the ears, as the same old Chinese smell ! deals the nose a blow. The Praya, that runs along the water's edge, with high stone houses on one side, swarms with barefooted coolies with poles and burdens over their shoulders, and sedan ehairs carried by more coolies spirit an occasional foreigner along above the common heads. The fronts of the high houses have open arcades at each story, and are covered with signs, among which the vermilion paper of the Chi­ nese shows everywhere. The conveyance one rides in is not Italian, nor are the common people by the roadside like the fascinating inhab­ itants of the peninsula. The cheapness of human labor is shown when one can be borne aloft on the shoulders of two men, like an idol in a procession, at the rate of fifteen cents an hour, and the contrast between the leisure and work­ ing classes is most apparent when the ono leans back in h 's ease and the other pants under the poles of the chair. Nearly all the coolies are barefooted, loose, flapping straw sandals being sometimes worn to save the feet from the fine, sharp atones with which the cement roads are set. The slip-slap muffled sound of bare feet being set down flatly and in a steady mechanical beat, as regular as machinery, has a curious effect on one. At first it seems as though the regularity of the tread was enough to soothe one to sleep, but afterward, especially if coming home late in the evening through these still avenues of trees and high stone walls, there is something in this methodical foot-fall that gives one an uncomfort­ able sensation, as of being carried off by sogio unknown power suggestive of evil and the supernatural. The chair coolie wears only the two cotton gar­ ments, unless the weather is chill enough to call for a second coat, or hot enough to remove the first one. The trousers are of the universal Chinese cut for the coolie class, each leg in a flopping petticoat of cotton a yard wide, reaching below the knee. No race of people have designed an uglier dress and stuck to it without change for so many centuries.--Hong Kong correspondent e. Death s Welcome Batoaw. ; J Must it not be to thoae who endure lift-long bodily suffering? From childhood to old age many persons are tormented with rheumatism and neuralgia. Ordinary medication and topi­ cal remedies are of slight, and always of tem­ porary efficacy. To escape the extreme tortures of these agonizing complaints, they ahould be annihilated at the outset with Hoatetter'a EStunach Bitters, which expel* from the ayatem the acrid impurities that beget them. The evidence as to its efficacy as a blood depurent in this particular is very ample, and strongly concurrent and convincing. In violent forms of these diseases the nerves are terribly racked. A wineglassful or two of the Hitters before the boar of retiring usually brings a rospite from pain, and enablea the sufferer to secure much needed repose. For kidney troubles, malarial complaints, indigestion, liver complaint ani constipation, the Bitters ia likewise beneficial. The Finger Kails. The growth of the nails is more rapid in children than in adults, and slowest in the aged. It goes on more rapidly in summer than in winter; so that the same nail that is renewed in 132 days in winter, requires only 116 in summer. The increase for the nails of the right hand is more rapid than for the left; it also differs for the differ­ ent fingers, and in order corresponding with the length of the finger. It js most rapid for the middle finger; nearly equal for two either side, slow­ er for the little finger, and slower $&t the thumb.--Exchange. Tossing with the 014 Man.
