PARTNERSHIP. Old Josiah.Flegg was by no means ten? derly attached to his nephew Jack. The fact was that, as the /sole trustee and,ex? ecutor of his late brother's ? will, Josiah had been accustomed' for many years to. bully the lad's widowed mother, anuVhad ? rendered the poor lady's life a burden to her by tyrannous interference and un? called for criticism.

The| fact was that," though his deceased broth-' er'3 fortune, was,.intact,; .the withdrawal of so largo a sum. of capital from his busi? ness at themom ent was exceedingly incon? venient. Old Josiah was not so rich as: ?was commonly supposed, and his^-ovr aridous nature had induced him 'to' in? dulge in stock exchange' speculations, with disastrous results. Consequently: he j had found the trust funds more than use? ful, and, Iii fact, almost Indispensable, to the conduct of his business. '.To be called upon to invest this money in an author? ized way was a most unpleasant request, and it is probable that Jock little foresaw; j how, full and complete was his retaliation | "for hi3 unde's harshness. . j. .-y/01d Josiah?-however, where his' pocket ' was concerned, was neyer disposed to. give way easily, and, after a sleepless night, he came to the conclusion that he might safely nut his. nephewjjfE with, promises, and-|or?est*^.money properly at a more (?nveniehTperi?d. " Besides, tie coufd hot ?'heHeve-that-Ms brother "B^scmwtruld-garto law to compd himr tos remedy what was, after all, oi?y^a-techmcal.breach of" ?uty. | He therefore wrote his nephew a brief let? ter, stating coldly that as soon as paying investments could'be found the money should bo applied according to. the .strict . letter of the tar?rts of the will, and ' that, in the meantime, there was no occasion for him to call... " Two' days later, however, old Josiah was dismayed at recdying a writ, issued on behalf 'of 'his- sister-in-law and her -children-in- tho-ohancery division,- praying for an account of investments and other inquisitorial details connected with the trust. The old gentieroan, who, in ;his' calmer moments, hod wondered whether tho demand,.for the reinvestment of the fcjaat .funds was the) full extent of the ven? geance which his'nephew had threatened, now began to fed uneasy about bis ulti? mate intentions.

"Of course the investment of tho money inpohproper security is the main thing," said Jack in a matter-of-fact tone. "But there still remains tho other point. How ttbor^b tho^roflts.jrou have-made-oufcofany; father's rhonoy beyond the 5 oer f*?"'* havo paid my'mother? Every farthing of that has to be accounted for and re? funded.' ' "What!" exclaimed old Josiah, becom? ing positively ashen. "Assuming you have made only another 5 per cent, per annum on my father's money, that will amount to a good many thousand pounds after all these years, Uncle Josiah,'' said Jack, making a hasty calculation on a slip of paper and throwing it across the desk. ? "Poohl absurd! ridiculous?" ejaculated the old gentleman, dropping the paper after/ glancing at it, as though it had burned his fingers. "It is a matter of figures, of course," said Jack, quietly. ' 'A few hundreds one i.3vay of the ?iher: won't materially affect the total. Whatever it may be, the law is clear, and you will have to refund the amount.."; ?; "But surely your mother and all of you don't mean to ruin me, as the whole of your father's fortune is at the present mo . ment -in" consols,r'and 5 per cent, interest has been punctually paid," said old Jo? siah, quite piteously. fj>o "Can't we strike a bargain, uncle!1" said Jack, earnestly.' .''M^-mot'herarid . all of,us consider that, as my father's eld? est son, I have amoral claim to be taken i mto^this business, maintained - as it has ij)ee?L:.all J?hese.. years vdfii-jmy7 father1 s money.

Somo Sunday,, afternoon, take a walk up Fifth avenue and then down again. Make it the afternoon. At noon, when the church goers have just been released from church, the pavement is so crowded that you see no more than a moving mass of colors, which. bewilders tho eye and overwhelms the perceptions. You will sec a hundred people you know on the way up* and another hundred oh the way down. And they come along in a convenient straggling procession so that you can nod .?t?'themif you have a'nodding-acquaint? ance, or stop to shake hands if the rela? tions existing are a little closer and more friendly.

Look- at the-rosy cheeks, tho sparkling eyes, tho shoulders thrown back, the firm and certain step. Notice how well nourished the cheeks are,, how deep and true the inspirations,' and how plump and well rounded the arms which taper down to the well gloved hands. Is it not'h, glorious sight? . There : is no>"hanco for ? paper soled: shoesvhere. Broad, substantially soled button boots cover the har.dsome, muscular feet, and in place of tho tawdry costume whoso likeness is preserved for us by. dozens of old engravings, hero we havo' a neat and well made cloth suit, which .fits the own? er's form to perfection. Can anything bo more satisfactory to the eye than this picture of honest health, of ulert though not> perhaps of Bubtlo intelligence and ?jyomanry beauty? There may be no sug ' gestieh of sentimentality here, nothing of what everyday novelists call poetry, and there is no romantic ? melancholy,?but, without any sacrifice of womanliness, -there--is-? grace, -and, above all, there are life and strength. But what U this? What is this slim, puny, thin faced, toddling, tottering little figure, who emphasizes by sheer force of contrast the strongth.and the color of this girl with the greyhoimd-like movement?

He is learned in technical, terms arid-fs educated asVcritic/but'as a: performer ho is nowhere. His enthusiasm; for the athletics is the enthusiasm which arranges and. supports private slugging matches. He pays $25-apiece for them. And when ho expresses, disappointment, that tho mill has not been lively enough, the slugger replies: /'I 'know what yonse-young fellers .jyaak--,Yer_.want blood, .and yer .can't have blood for less than ?50." This is tho kind of entlmsiasto for athletics which is.rampant It is the land which prompts the youth with no chest and legs to stay up all night and pay $25 to discover at dawn the next morning, thirty.or forty miles away from his warm lit|Je~fbed, that the .great fight between Jack and Jill for $5,000 a side will not take place, information which ho can buy [? with his evening- paper-for-, two cents. .'Aud.it is'this enthusiasm which keeps the . membership of the athletic clubs up to j high figures.

Those who have carefully observed tho management of wild animals in men? ageries, zoological gardens and in the pens of the animal dealera must at times havo been astonished at the easo with winch hired men, comparatively unarmed, sub duo beasts which wo havo been taught yield only to the blazing rifle, and fight gamely until death. A hon escapes from his cage and crouches at tho darkened end of the menagerie. Remembering the stories we have read of the ferocity of this beast and of tho terrible scenes at the Hon hunt, wo can imagine only one mode of action. The keepers should arm themselves with rifles, hide behind barriers, and open a rapid fire upon him. To our surprise, they don't do this. They simply wheel d great cage up to him, fall upon him with clubs, and thrash away ?until he enters it. A few weeks ago an anaconda seven? teen feet long broke away while being carried across a public park in New York city. With vivid- pictures of the exploits of this. reptilo in the. Amazon watershed before our eyes, we expect to seo him fall upon tho nearest human being, enfold him in his toils and crash him to a jelly. Surely it will take armed and resolute men to capture him! No; on the con? trary, this is not required, and it must have been with a feeling akin to disap? pointment that those who had read of the ferocity of the anaconda saw oho man armed only with a blanket, advance and seize him by the throat, while two others, also unarmed, grasp his tail, and then tho trio, still holding on, carry him through the streets and thrust him back into tho den whence he had been taken.' Not long since tho writer. saw Mr. Thomson, a dealer in live animals, Open a box containing art anaconda, (mite as. long ae this one, take. the reptile by the'' throat and calmly examine his mouth, opened though it was in rage, to look for cancer? ous humors. Then from adjoining shelves he took python after python, each about ten feet long, and examined them in like manner. At the place of another dealer (Reiche), a big, powerful Syrian.bear, a type known for its ferocity, was subdued without the firing of a shot.' The bear .broke through iron bars half an inch ?thick," and, standing up with his back against a cage of monkeys, thrust Iiis ter riblo' paws threateningly toward three keepers gathered about him. He didn't haVo a chance to uso them, however, for he was belabored with clubs until glad to get back again into his cage. On-a pedestal near tho gate of the Cin? cinnati Zoological gardens there recently stood tho stuffed figure of a donkey which, when alive, withstood-tho attack of a lion and beat him off. The lion, it seems, had broken out of his cage and escaped to a -wood near by. On a grassy hillock, ad? joining, a donkey lay stretched in placid slumber?a slumber that was rudely dis? turbed by the lion, who, in a few bounds, was upon him. When the - donkey felt the great mass of flesh descend upon him as if from the clouds, he was stuimed and indignant, but not frightened, perhaps be? cause he had never .read any of the won? derful stories about the Hon. ' He quickly .recovered from the blow, and, rising, shot out both hind feet at tho same time, and caught tho lion squarely in the forehead. Badly hurt, the hon skulked off,-and later the donkey died of the wound he re? ceived at the onset.?Scientific American. Tho Blizzards In Dakota.

Craig, master of roadway and transportation for the Charleston and Savanuah Railway and president of the Roadtnasters' Association of Ameri? ca, in a letter to the editor of the Rail way Service Gazelle, expresses the follow? ing excellent sentiments: "The time is not far distant when tem? perance will be a requirement of all grades of employees in railway service. The demand for the reform is growing greater each day; the necessity for strictly temperate men to control the lives and fortunes travelling on railroads is eo apparent that no other alternative is left. There is no disputing the fact that liquor is a poison benumbing all the faculties, and utterly unfitting the drinker for any long continued service. This being the case, there is no such thing as "bracing up" with liquor. Slowly but surely it becomes a man's most bitter enemy. Railroad companies are entitled to the full benefit of tho abilities of their em? ployees. No mau can be intemperate, and still be clear-headed and possessed of steady nerves. Intemperate men arc not competent to have charge of the lives and property daily entrusted to their care. The railway service requires the noblest and best qualities of man, and to possess these in the fullest he must ab? stain from the use of intoxicating liquors. To say a man only occasionally takes a drink is not sufficient. In an unguarded moment he will yield to the tempter. Middled, and with iin*tcady nerves and stnjjgerin;.' slop, he goes to his duty, placing hundreds of lives in danger. -The sentiment in regard lo temperance I reform is growing daily' hi favor with employees themselves, and it can be .iaid to their honor that they stand foremost in the rnnks of. the reform movement, and to railway employees belongs the glory of giving it the most energetic assistance." ? j_'-. ?
