An OblfKins: Clerk. A clerk in a' Springfield store had svvteetrevenge the other day on a 'Worn-* -who had annoyed him. She wanted to look at baskets, and for that purpose the clerk took from the shelves a large assortment, until all but two Were scattered over the.counter. The woman did not want to buy, so she turned .way. making tlie excuse: "I only came in to look for one,of my friends." The clerk felt rather exasperated and re plied: "Madam, If you have the'slight est "idea that your friends are in either of these baskets on the shelves I shall be pleased to take them down for you to examine."--Springfield Republican. ' "What an idiot I have been." He turned and walked to the piazza. "What an artificial atmosphere! I am going back by the first train." He turned to go, but before him stood a magnificent woman. Was it her ex pression or was it her face that, re minded him of that one old masters so loved to portray? Her regal head, her beautiful face, had the dignity of a queen. As she smiled he thought of the running streams in the mountains, the music of the pines of the beautiful Western country of his adoption; then her sweet, monotonous voice broke the silence: "Has the paleface forgotten the Rob in of khe .springtime?" His lips could form* no words. He opened his arms and .clasped her to his heart.--Philadelphia Item. liondon and Greater New York. A London paper has been making some statistical comparisons between New York and London which are in teresting reading: London .is double the size of Greater New York and has double the population. We have more than twice as many policemen, but only half as many firemen, a fact which can be easily accounted "for when the character of the New York buildings is considered. We have four times as many pupils in our public schools, but only 25 per cent., more teachers, which seems to show that big classes as we see them in London schools are not approved in New York. We have more public libraries. There are in Loudon only half as many hospitals as there are in New York, and, considering the extraordinary number of accidents in that city Compared with those iu Lon don, the hospitals appear to be needed. The New-Yorker provides a church or chapel for every" three thousand per- souS, while we only provide one for every four thousand. As regards crime, particularly that coming under tthe head of housebreaking and burglary, we are better off:than New York, prob ably because tee-are better polie3d, both as regards numbers and character. If crimes in London under these, heads were in the same proportion as those in New York, we should have two thou sand instances every year, whereas we have only about a hundred more than New York.

The barking bird,"which is common in Chilob and Chinos, islands of the South American Archipelago. It is call ed by the natives "Guidguid," "but its English name," says Darwin, "is well given, Xor I defy any one at first to feel certain that a small dog is not yelping somewhere in the forest." The Toucan, of South America, has, according to Mr. Watertoh, the same peculiarity, and one of the favorite tricks of the mocking-bird Is to imitate tlie bark of a dog, which it does to sa^i perfection as to deceive even the most experienced ears.

So it is with those other ocean wander ers, the Stormy Petrels. Like the alba tross, they have no distinct circle of distribution. They wander over all the seas, and cover such enormous dis tances in a day's flight that no distinct limits can be assigned to their habita tions^ They are at home, and brave the storm in every latitude and in every sea. A shark's egg is one of the oddest- looking things imaginable, and has no more resemblance to an egg, strictly speaking, than it has to a paving stone. In one variety it< is pillow-shaped, and has a long "horn" or "feeler"' at each corner. The average size is about two inches by two and three-quarters, and the color almost pure black.. It is un provided with shell, as we understand that word, but the contents are protect ed by a thick leathery covering, which has almost as much elasticity about It as a covering of India-rubber would have. The feelers mentioned catch hold of and wind themselves round pieces of seaweed and other floating objects (just as a grape-vine tendril would do), and hang there until the egg is hatch ed, providing it does hot get destroyed. One variety of shark lays eighteen eggs during the month of April. These float about until early in December, when the little sharks emerge, the period of incubation having been about nine mouths.

A DREAM REALIZED - igj O H N OVERTON n sat alone, smoking ' llis P'Pe- could 4 j, hear the men as y IW° tlley iausiied aud poked' around the I campfire, but he / 4 could not join in /{ their merry-mak- JimllC' I \ ItjL 'ng. Five years ago he had left his Eastern home fo endure the privations of a mining en gineer in a new country: A scheme carried out successfully placed his namo permanently before the scientific world. He felt elated that night, yet his thoughts would turn to her. Iu the years that had gone by much of the bitterness of that quarrel had passed away. After all, she was only a girl then, sweet Prlscilla Grey. His mother had dreaded to see him go away so far. She had enough for both, but when he and Priscilla quar reled the course of his life seemed changed. His mother had died since, and he had come Into her fortune. Yet still he tarried. " He had grown to love the West. "Why is the paleface brother sad?" "Why, you naughty little girl, why did you stray so far from home at this time?" Overton exclaimed, as lie look ed upon the dark, sweet face so neat his own. "Father came to see you, and I came, too. 1 am going away, Overton. The heart of Robin aches within her. She loves the mountains, she loves her la ther, she loves Overton. When he is sad she is sad. When he is gone the winds sigh more deeply in the pines; the brook, as It leaps over the stones, is not so gay. Even the sun shines not so brightly when Overton is not here." As her sweet, monotonous tones ceased Overton looked into her face. Her mother had been the daughter of a noble chief of a tribe of Indians, and her father was an officer at the fort. She was, perhaps, 15, and carried her self with the dignity of her race. She had her father's classic features, but the sadness of her mother's people shone in her great black eyes. When Overton came to the North west country he had some work to do at the fort where she lived. He had killed a huge snake one day. An in stant later and it would have been upon her. Since then she had loved him with the unreasoning affection of an animal. Her father joined them as they sat there. Taking Robin's hand, he drew her to him. "Poor little one! I am going to send her East, Overton." "No better plan could suggest Itself. You should have sent her some time ago. Be a good little girl, Robin. I-^ara a I0t, but don't forget your old friends." "I shall never forget," "and turning quickly, she glided away. Unusually bright, her constant com panionship with her father had deep ened her intellect. They learned to love her in the school. With careful treatment her skin grew fine-grained and fairer. Her hands were small, soft, and dimpled. She did not look like an alien, and few could guess that Indian blood ran in her veins. Her-habitual sadness never left her, but her smiles were ready and often. She combined the best of the two races from which she sprung, and a more charming woman was never introduced into the gay world than Robin, daugh ter of Captain Strathmore. Overton had made rapid strides In his ! profession. The years seemingly left no impression on his haudsOme face. To his heart he still clasjied his dream of, Priscilla. She had been married, and was uow a widow, still as lovely and as fair as in her sweet girlhood, so rumor had it. For the first time in many years he decided to go home, back to the old haunts, the old friends, and Priscilla. Alas! He found them changed. The old house was the same, but his mother had gone away. At the club uj^sfaces greeted him. Selfish, narro^v, aimless men stagnated in the little town. He felt then and there like taking the next train back where he could breathe the, pure, sweet air and feel the freedom and ambition of the plains. p A relative was to entertain that even ing. and he was the guest of..honof. He came in a little late, and pa.ysed a; moment in the corridor. Looking across the room, he saw the object of his dream, the Priscilla of long ago. She was certainly lovely, but--^ _ . ,. .. Accustomed as he waf to read human nature, he saw in that face everything, which he left out of ^hls ideah, She had thrown him over for a rich man. He ha"d thought that she had been forced to it by her parents, and had | pitied her so mtMH She looked so complacent, so' self- satisfied, so worldly.

Under Sealed Orders. ~~The custom of having warships sail "under sealed orders" has arisen from the desire of nyiritime powers to pre vent their plans from becoming known to the enemy. In the American navy such orders come from the President, and are de livered to the commander of a ship or squadron by a confidential messenger, who knows nothing of their contents. * Sometimes they are in cipher, but they are, always sealed with the official seal of the Navy Department, and the package cannot be opened until the time marked on it, which is usually several hours after the hour of leaving port By this precaution the newspapers are prevented from disclosing, prema turely, movements which may be of the greatest importance, and the spies of the enemy are rendered yseless so far as their ability to discover the se: cret of such movements Is concerned. Sailing under sealed orders is now the common naval practice in time of war. . The Spider'aJ'Thread.
