Sitting in my office one hot July morning, intensely absorbed in a case, I neither heard steps on my stair nor a knock at my door, so I was startled when a boy's clear voice said: "Mis? ter, would you like to have your room oleaned up?" Looking up I saw a small boy of 11 or 12 years old standing in my door. "What is it you want, my little man?" "Would you like to have your room cleaned?" "Why is it not clean?" I asked, looking around. "No, sir," answered the lad; "look at the windows; you can't see through 'em, and the floor is powerful dirty " . "Well^go^ ahead.f I said. "The ^windows ^e dirty,'but do not talk to ?meV~*I amverybusy." The little worker was very quiet, The splash of water and the sound of scrubbing reached me occasionally After awhile I looked up and the boy asked: "What time do you go to din ner?" "Dinner? | Why, I gueBS it is time now." "Well, I will "scrub the floor while you are gone to dinner. I did not want to bother you moving things." When I returned to my office every thing was clean and bright and shin ?ing.. .-I gave the boy 50 centsJor the job and was going.to. my work when T 'noticed "a troubled' l?ok~?n the lad' face. "Is that not enough for the job? I asked in some surprise. "Oh, yes, sir; but would you just as leave give me a recommend as the money?" "A what?" I asked, not understand ing him. "A 'recommend,' just a bit of paper saying, 'This boy knows bow to clean up,' with your name signed to the bot torn of it" "Ohl a 'recommendation,' " I said laughing. "Are you a stranger in town?" ' "Yes, sir; came this morning, and want jobs." J I gave' the bit. of paper and he thanked me as he laid the money down. "Keep the money, too," I said '' You*ear ne& ' "NbVsir," ho answered emphatical ly,; "I db not take double pay for one 4pb?and this paper is worth more to peihan.the money." Thaihilding in which I had my office was soon transformed into "the house,cleanlujess>"4if, ^not^'the house beautifuE?? ??S?ap$ water vand a small boy went from room to room, leaving their shining marks behind them "My recommend," as the l?d called it "had been his open Besame. ' I could not help' feeling interested in the boy. He had such an honest face and such a firm, resolute mouth that ho looked as if he intended to conquer the world. So, meeting him on the stairs one morning, I asked him where he stayed at night. "Well, I mostly sleep in the park The policemen there is a good fellow, and he said he did not mind a little chap like me sleeping ou the benches When it is raining I climb into some barn and sleep on the hay, but I never feel like it is right, sleeping in folks' barn es without asking 'era, but if you do ask 'em they mostly Bays no." "But, my boy," Iinquired, "do you not make money enough to rent a room?" ', "Yesi'sirpimaker enough, but have to save it. I have, a family to support." "A family to support!" I exclaim? ed in surprise. . y . "Just so, sir. A little brother and sister, and I saves my money for them. ' 'Is your father dead ?'' j The *bdysb eyes ^fillecLwith tears, but he said.nothing, and I naturally sup? posed the mother dead. I could not work that day! I was haunted by the picture of a little boy. sleeping on the hard benohes of the park, of a little boy's climbing into a barn wjb^^t,raine.d.,,and having his. cpnscienoe.troubling him for trespass? ing ^-Theioxeschave holes and' the birds of air have nests, but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head" kept going through . my headJike an old song that will-not be stilled. .One' of Gods little ones was, even as jhis Master, with no place to lay his,head. I Went from office to office that day telling the story simply as the child had told it to me. Many a rough old lawyer's eyes filled with tears as he thought of his own little ones at home, well fed and well housed, while this little one lived, as the birds, out of doors. Many a miser's hand went in? to his pocket that day; grumblingly the hand's master gave his money, but the quiver of the hard lip showed that he was glad to give. Before night we had fitted up an old lumber room in our building with bed, bedding, chairs, groceries, wash? ing utensils, etc. I hardly thought the hoy in need of the groceries, but L. said if he would cook his own meals it would be cheaper than buying them. On this economical hint "our dude" bought the child an oil stove for cook? ing. Have you ever seen a plain, freckle faced, two-headed boy so radiant with happiness that his face was beautiful to Bee? That was the picture that we looked at that night as Tom was intro? duced to his new quarters. A week had gone by when Tom came to my room, leading a shy, handsome boy of ten. "This is my brother, sir. I sent for him as soon as I got that beautiful room. A boy likes to have his family with him. After shaking hands with the little stranger I asked Tom whether his brother would be much help to him. "I don't expect him to do any work. I am going to send him to school and educate him as a gentleman. Our father wasagentlcman," hesaid, hold? ing his little head high. Then his delight in his brother broke forth. "I bought him some new clothes, sir, and some underclothing," he add? ed softly. "These are the first under? clothes he has had since he was a baby." He pulled up Jack's cuff to show me the new gauze shirt. I felt a queer tightness about my heart, and some difficulty in keeping the tears out of my eyes at the boy's unselfishness. His own clothes were ragged and I was sure that there were no underclothes under his tattered jacket. This small hero was getting very close to my heart. I got in the habit of dropping in on the boys in the evening before going home. The bright wood fire, the spot? lessly clean room and the boys' happy faces were very inviting. ? They would frequently persuade me to take some of their hot cornbred and a glass of milk just to be sociable. "We always have lots of milk," Tom said. "I milk Mrs. Smith's cows and she gives me a pitcher full every morning and every evening, and when I have time I churn for her and then she gives me a little pat of butter." "Don't you let Jack do any jobs?" I asked. "No," said he, "only waiting on the table Sundays at the Chinese res* taurant. Sam Wing said that he would give us our dinners for helping Sun? days, and Jack is so fond of good things to eat that he begged me to let him go, too. "We both help Sundays and we have ice-cream, and cake, and turkey," put in small Jack, his eyes big at the thought. "Yes, but it ain't any work for a gentleman, and as soon as I get regu? lar work, he shant wait on the table, but sit at the table and pay for his dinner like other folks," said Tom. A boy was wanted at the bank, an honest, reliable boy. The lawyers drew up a strong paper recommending Tom. He carried it to the president. Something in the boy's honest blue eyes appealed to the president, as it had to mo. He was given the place, though 50 applied with him. "The boy had the right stuff in him to make a man," the president re? marked. Then the little sister was sent for and placed in the neighboring convent. The boy paid very liberally for her keep. "Flossie shall be raised as a lady," he told me. "The sisters take mighty good care of her." The little girl spent her Sundays with her brothers and a happier trio it would have been hard to find. I often met them in the fields in the afternoon gathering wild flowers. The girl her? self looked like a wild flower, with her ' sunny curls, blue dancing eyes and rosy cheeks. My wife and I often spoke of adopt? ing her, but we knew that the small head of the family would never give her up. . _? Months, laden with busy hours, flew by. One cold, damp day in March ,1 was sitting before an open fire, and was trying to read, but my thoughts kept traveling back to the little spar? rows who lived in the lumber room. A ring at my door bell, then a small, wet and thoroughly frightened figure entered. It was Jack. "Oh, Mr. D?, Tom is awful bad off I Please come to see him!" I sent the child for a doctor and hastened to Tom's room. I soon Baw that the poor fellow had pneumonia. The doctor confirmed my fears. Then he questioned Jack. What did they live on? "Milk, bread, potatoes, meat some? times but not often, it costs too much," said Jack. "The doctor took me aside and said : "It will go hard with the boy because of overwork and underfeed . ihg.'' We did what we could' -for the child, but there never was any hope and the end came very soon. I Was sitting : by his bed the. last night when he'opened his bright, shining eyes. -"Mr. D.," ho- said. - "You have been so awful good-to me that I want to tell you all about it. You asked me once if my mother was dead and I never said nothing, so you thought she was because I cried. But she is is not dead. She smoked hop (opium) with a Chinaman and went off with him, leaving us all." I suppose that I looked horrified, for he immediately exclaimed: "She could not help it, sir; when anybody smokes hop with a Chinaman they always do what they tell 'em, and I never blamed my mamma." Then after a pause, he added in a bitter tone, "Pa beat her every time he got drunk and took all the money she made washing whenever he could get his hands on it. He beat us, too, Jack and me, but mamma had been a lady and rich. It did not matter about us boys, but it made me just sick to see him a-beatin' her." I tried to quiet him down and pres? ently he went to sleep, and 1 heard him mutter in delirium, "I did what I could for the children, mamma. Jack goes to school and is going to be 'educated as a gentleman and the sis? ters are raising Flossie at the convent. They take such good care of her aud are going to raise her as a lady. I never blamed you for going off, but we did-.get 10;lonesome,, without you." Suddenly the boy's -bright, fevered eyes'opened. '"Oh, Mr. D., I can't die and leave the children ! Who will take care of them ?" I promised the dying lad to take them home.with me,'and that I would always' care for them. My wife, I explained to Tom, had wanted Flossie for some time to take the place of a ..little >?irl that -we had. lost. And I wanted Jack and would educate him and adopt hmf as my own'son. Such a look of sublime peace and happiness came on the dying face as awed one to look upon the beautiful, unselfish soul Had illuminated its house before leaving it, and the little hero's soul had gone to the God who made it. Nancy Lee Hill. A Refrigerator for GUIes. The study of the cold storage prob? lem promises to result in some unex? pected conveniences. Becently, oommon carbon dioxide has been substituted for ammonia in the freezing process, and, as it is much cheaper, it will doubtless continue to be used. The gas is produced by heating together soft ooal and lime? stone. The by-products are lime, car? bonate of lime and coal tar, which nearly pay the cost of generating the carbon dioxide. When the carbon dioxide has been cooled and reduced to liquid form it is conveyed in pipes wherever it is want? ed. It would be possible to lay con? necting pipes through the streets of a [ city, and supply cold air just as gas is" now furnished. A house with one of these pipes would have no need of ice. The temperature could be easily regu? lated by an instrument attached to the discharge pipe. This convenience can be utilized for any room in a house, and different members of a family can regulate their apartments to suit themselves. On a hot night in August, when a person retires, he can turn on a faucet aud have almost a polar climate, if he de? sires it. With this new convenience, the ice? man will have to go. He will be no longer needed. After the projectors experiment a little more with it the cold air pipes will be as common in cities as telephone wires. It will be a godsend to the large cities where sum? mer heat is excessive, and when its use becomes general there will be no exodus of people from the South to a cooler climate. A year or two ago a company was organized to introduce the cold air pipes in every State, but the organization failed to materialize. It is now believed that the invention ir on a more substantial footing, and it is predicted that it will be a success. ?Atlanta Constitution. ? A dispatch from WebBter City, Iowa, to the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "This section of the State is becoming honey? combed with telephones, and every town within a radios of fifty miles will soon be connected with Webster City. The scheme is something new and surprising even to old telephone men, bnt it works like a charm. An inventive genius here struck upon the idea of making direct connections with the barbed wire on the fences that run along the prairie. He tried a line first between here and Bun? combe. It was a success, and now be has an incorporated com pan v which has just sprung into existence and is rich A line was hitched on to the barbed wiro fence between here and Williams, twenty miles away, in one day, by two men who used only eight or ten rods of insulated wire under the road crossings that pass over the railroad. He is laying a line to Boone, forty miles away, to-day and if the barbed wire fences hold out he will push on to Des Moinea or Missouri." I SARGE PLUNKETT. A Joyful Trip Through the Mountains of Northeast Georgia. Atlanta Constitution. The Constitution has a great big traveling man by the name of Wood liff, and the nearest you can get to old times and old-time ways is to go with him on one of his trips through north? east Georgia. Starting out from Gainesville you are soon in a land of plenty and of good cheer. It is a land where they make everything at home; where neighbors visit in the good old-time way without a feeling that they should not eat enough when they sit down to the table, and where great big ears of corn are tumbled into the horse trough without counting and fodder thrown out of the loft as long as the horse will eat it. Early rising is the rule in this sec? tion, and as I would lay and listen to the old mountain fathers rousing the boys in the mornings it brought up many memories of my own experience. It always was hard to get boys up in the mornings, but after you are up and get your face washed and jump around a little to take the stiffness out of your joints, it is delightful and healthy and one feels well repaid for being disturbed in his slumbers. It does not take the old mountain fathers long to have the place all astir. Smoke soon curls from the kitchen chimney, the squall of two or three frying chickens is heard for a moment before they lose their heads, the old smokehouse door swings back with a squeak, and visions of ham and red Savy fill your mind. Everybody 9m Gainesville to Cartercay seems to understand that Mr. Woodliff is a big man, and that it takes a heap to feed him. At most all of these coun? try homes the small children have to wait at meals as they did in the olden times. The look that comes into the faces of these little fellows as Wood? liff would reach for the chicken dish time after time, and pass his cup for more coffee and then, after leaning back and swiping his mouth with his red bandana, would straighten up and reach again, would have made me feel a little sad, had I not known that I was as much of a small eater as Wood? liff was on the other extreme, and so the children would have plenty. Privately, though, I would advise that Woodliff tone himself down a little on the'eating question. I could not blame the waiting chil? dren for feeling anxious as they watch? ed Woodliff eat, and I admired them for the control they had over them? selves in the matter. It brought to my mind the experience of a good Confederate soldier that failed to con? trol himself as well as these children do- trough such an ordeal. This Confederate soldier approached a house up in Tennessee and, without any ceremony, asked the lady for something to eat. "Certainly, certainly," answered the lady, "but,'' she added, "you will have to wait for the second table, as I have some distinguished guests to dine with me to-day." The soldier said that he would wait, and took a seat on a bench out in the back porch. From where the soldier sat he could see the whole arrange? ments of the table, and his mouth wa? tered as dish after dish of smoking eatables was carried in and placed. As the bell announced the dinner ready and the lady came filing down the hall with her guests the soldier lost control of himself and went in and was. sitting at the table as sober as a judge when the lady and her "distinguished" arrived. This left one of the "distinguished" without a place at the table and cansed the lady much confusion, but the Con? federate held his place with all the dignity he could muster in his dilapi? dated condition. The officer that sat next to the soldier wore a general's stripes and he caught on to the fact that there was something wrong. He turned to the soldier and asked him to what command he belonged. The soldier answered this question, where? upon the officer said: "Do you know who you have the honor of dining with ?" "No, sir." said the soldier simply. "Well, sir," proceeded the officer, "you dine with General Magruder?I am General Magruder." "Oh, never mind," said the soldier. "I used to be particular about whom I associated with, but since the war I don't care a continental cent." All the way along in a trip like this we run upon the old unpainted meet? ing houses and more than apt a little school house near by. There is most certain to be a glorious spring of water pretty close to these old meeting houses and a shady grove of trees to invite the weary traveler to stop and rest. How I diil like to stop and linger around and about these old churches. It is in these groves that the people of these mountains meet and mingle ?in friendly communion, where the good old circuit rider sings his hallelu? jahs and preaches "the word ;" where baskets are spread and the multitude invited to eat; where the young peo? ple pair off and love and court along the path to the spring, in the wagons, under the trees, on the grass and along the shady slope. Just such sweet places used to dot Georgia all over, and just such scenes were com? mon everywhere. The old songs are remembered; the people are remem? bered. As an old man lingers around these places he can seemingly see the pretty girls and the hopeful boys as the strains break from the church to call the congregation together : "Come thy fount of every blessing, Tone my heart to slog thy praise, Streams of mercy never ceasing Calls for songs of sweetest lays," etc. All these things are sweet to con? template by an old man, and I never failed to remember the good old shout? ing women, and a vein of humor was sure to well up as I thought upon what would be the condition of one of these starched-up ladies of this day after she had passed through the rough and tumble, the hugging and tugging, the beating and slapping of one of those happv occasions of a Tevival day at these old churches. But for the' fact that Mr. Woodliff always had his eye on his watch to make it to a certain friend's by mes l time, I would have spent much more time dreaming of the past about these meeting houses. Woodliff is strictly business in most everything, and espe? cially would he feel "short" if he were to allow a little old spring, a few trees and an old unpr.inted meeting house . knock him out of such a meal as one is sure to get among his friends in this section of the country. Along the road our buggy would careen toward a precipice and make the chills shiver over me. In places we could cast our eyes downward and see for hundreds of feet below. A break of the harness or a dash of the horse would have thrown us down, down, down ! In all the wildness of the section one can see the effects of the good sohools of Dahlonega, Sumac, Jasper, McTyeire, Hiawassee, Habun Gap, Cartercay and others. All the time I was looking for the characters from which "M. Quad" drew his pictures. One time we run upon the squalid cabin, the mountain home that I have read of. It was hedged in by a low brush fence and not a living thing was 1 astir. Around the cabin was as deso late as death. "Hello, hello I" I cried. Not a chicken stirred: not a dog barked; not a tow-headed urchin peeped through the chinks. A sal? low, worn-out woman appeared at the door, and stooping low to miss bump? ing her head, she appeared outside. ! "How far to Mr. Blank's ?" we ask? ed, i "Can't tell you," she said. "We have only lived here a short time. We came from town. We are town folks." I My companion clinched my arm with his large right hand and said : "No mountaineers yet?none of the CM. Quad' stripe." And so it is. The mountain people are often disparaged as to their refine? ment, but they can stand it. Only one time did my friend Woodliff relax from his business bent air, and it was in this connection, and should be pre? served. He spouted : And 10 it Is, ray cherished friend, I've learned it in these mountains That not from polished haunts of raon Doth flow the pnrest fountains ; But hid away in wildest wood, Along tho rlneclad bluff, Are crystal streams forerer pure And diamonds in the rough. Saege Pxunkett. To the Women of South Carolina. In view of the fact that we have ac? cepted as a State, Atlanta's cordial invitation to be present at her great Cotton States' Exposition, it now be? hooves us to see that we go properly caparisoned, and make a creditable display. There is no longer any doubt as to whether South Carolina will be there. That question has been definitely set? tled. We will be there in friendly competition with all the other States of the Union. That we have no ap? propriation from our Government, necessitates the greatest personal ef? forts on our own part, and especially on the part of the women who are to be represented by a separate exhibit of their own in the Woman's Build? ing. Owing to the personal good favor of the President of the Woman's Board this room is in the most con? spicuous and important position. It remains with us to make it either an object of just pride for the whole State, or?but we will not contemplate the possibility of failure, as we do not recognize it. The time, however, is growing very short between now and the hour of our trial. I have heretofore judged it necessary as Chairman of the Woman's Commission for South Carolina, to write this appeal myself, to every wo? man in the State, and to personally entreat all those whose eyes may read these lines to do what they can toward the much desired result?that of show? ing that South Carolina, if she has i had perforce to drop behind in the I march of progress, is not behind in brain, spirit and energy, the three essentials of success. In the World's Fair at Chicago the attention of Americans was to a great extent turned aside from their own exhibits to the magnificent foreign displays, but in this Southern Expo? sition the direct gaze of the North, East and West will be directed towards the Southern and Cotton States. We are one of these. Shall we stand ashamed among our sisters ? Let us then bestir ourselves in earnest. Through the proceeds of one enter? tainment which I have just given and a private subscription we have now a little over a thousand dollars in the Exchequer. We should have four thousand to make an exhibit of which we may feel proud and that is worthy of us. Most of the other Southern States have more than this for their woman's department. Charleston con? tributes one thousand from one enter? tainment alone?cannot the other parts of the State raise the rest ? Bazaars, Fairs, Pic nics?all sorts of spring and summer festivities might be made into money-making affairs for the State good?a cause important now above all others?we will have time to benefit our hospitals, churches, etc., afterwards?when the good .the whole State will derive from a fine ex? hibit in each department will inbue us all with new ardor to work for our charities. As for the articles to be exhibited, we wish everything beautiful done by woman's hand. Embroidery, china painting, miniatures, drawings, laces, wood carving, brass work, clay model? ling, anything artistic made by wo? men. The name of the maker and her section of the country must be on each article, and the price, if intended for sale. There will be munificent prizes of money awarded by a compe? tent committee, for the best specimen in each branch of work, part of the money raised will be devoted to this object. Besides which, in order to make the South Carolina room a nota? ble one in every way, there will be an Art Loan Collection, personally super? vised by a committee appointed for the purpose. In this, paintings, val? uable old steel plates, framed auto? graph letters of great men, historic arms, clothes, battle flags, pieces of colonial furniture, silver, miniatures, laces?in fact any objects of art wor? thy of exhibition are desired. The State teems with such objects, so we ought to have a most interesting col? lection. To owners who wish to dispose of these relics or curios, this will proba? bly be a golden opportunity, as no? where else could they be so well dis? played and to such large assemblies. The prices and histories of each arti? cle must be attached, and they will all be catalogued by me and my com? mittee ; personally removed to the room destined for them; the small objects kept in glass clases, under lock and the room guarded night and day. It will therefore be seen why we have such urgent need of money, for the expense of the cases, the proper plac? ing of the exhibit, the paying of the guards, and the awards?the money over and above our expenses can bo added to the award-fund j for which at any rate a special portion will be reserved, besides what Atlanta will give. [ Mr. Roche, the State Commissioner, will later on publish a statement about transportation. All objects for exhibition must be sent to me here at my address below, and any letter of inquiry will be promptly answered. For the time being, I am the willing servant of the State of my adoption. Let all who feel a like enthusiasm be co-workers in the cause. Mes. Andrew Simonds, 4 South Battery, Charleston, S. C. ? "Hold on dar I" said a colored man, hailing an acquaintance.

One of the brightest editors of our day, Mr. Edward K. Bok, of the La? dies' Home Journal, recently gave one of his ireasons for total abstinence. He says: ''Another thing that \id me to make up my mind never to touch liquor was the damage which I saw wrought by it upon somo of the finest minds with which it was ever my privilege to come-into contact, and I concluded that what had resulted in? juriously to others might prove so to me. I have seen, even in my few years of professional life, some of the smartest literary men dethroned from splendid positions, owing to nothing else but their indulgence in wine, have known men with salaries of thousands of dollars a year come to beggary from drink. "Only recently there applied to me for any position I could offer him, one of the most brilliant editorial writers in the newspaper profession?a man who two years ago easily commanded one hundred dollars for a single edi? torial in his special field. That man become so unreliable from drink that editors are now afraid of his articles, and, although he can to-day write as forcible editorials as at any time du? ring his life, he sits in a cellar in one of our cities writing newspaper wrap? pers for one dollar per thousand. And that is only one instance of several I could recite. I do not hold my friend up as a 'terrible example.' He is but one of a type of men who convinced me, and may convince others, that a clear mind and liquor do not go to? gether. "I know it is said when one brings up such an instance as this: 'Oh! well, that man drank to excess. One glass will hurt no one.' How do these people know that it won't ? One drop of kerosene has been known to throw into flame an almost hopeless fire, and one glass of lipuor may fan into flame a mouldering spark hidden away where we never thought it existed. The spark may be there and it may not be. Why take the risk? Liquor will never do a healthy boy or young man the least particle of good; it may do him harm. The man for whom I have absolutely no use in this world is the man who is continually asking a young man to 'just have a little; one glass, you know.' A man who will wittingly urge a young man who he knows has a principle against liquor, is a man for whom a halter is too good. "Then, as I looked around and came to know more of people and things, I found the always unanswerable argu? ment in favor of a young man's absti? nence : that is, that the most success? ful men in America to-day are those who never lift a wine glass to their lips. Becoming interested in this fact I had the curiosity to inquire person "Mothers'M" Cures Rising I have been a midwife for many years, and in each case where "MOTH?

I made up my mind that there was some reason for this. If liquor brought safe pleasures, why did these men abstain from it? If, as some say, it is a stimulant to a busy man, why do not these men, directing the largest business interests in this country, resort to it ? And when I saw that these were the men whose opinions in great business matters were accepted by the leading concerns of the world, I concluded that their judgment in tho use of liquor would satisfy me. If their judgment in business matters could command the respect and attention of the leaders of trade on both sides of the sea, their decision as to the use of liquor was not apt to be wrong." ?
