0--? Sandy's Bessie ?-? One beautiful aiternoon a few days after Davie Gillespie's visit i turned into Second avenuo from a cross street to see Sandy MacXab about some committee business for a Caledonian club picnic. Just be fore I reached the shoo shop, howev er, a little girl emerged from the throng of passersby and entered tho door. She was a thin, pale, puny child of the kind the cities breed stoop shouldered, narrow chested- ill nourished, almost untaught exe ?pt in the hard school of experience. I lingered outside a moment, waiting for Sandy to dispose of his custom er before entering, but as the little girl did not appear I opened the ?00F. "Fifty cents; 60 cents/' Sandy was shouting as 1 stepped inside. "Canna ye understan' that, ye puir heathen? Fifty cents." He was standing before his bench, gesticulating, with & pale of newly soled shoes, two sizes too email for tho girl, who stood in a mutely sub missive attitude/before him. Sandy has always resolutely disdained learning any foreign tongue. If the* "braid Scots' deealect" isn't good enough for his customers, they can go elsewhere. "Meine mutter ist todt," began the child's gentle, uncomplaining yoice, "und" "Come hither, Owen," cried the .old man impatiently. "Can ye tell what is't the lass wants ?" The girl told me her story. Her mother was dead. She was the old oat of four children and had seen ?eighteen years, though she looked but fourteen. She and two other children had got work-^-tailor's piecework-and they were all living somehow, hut it was very hard. She ?had the money for mending the shoes, but the neighbors had told ber that "der Herr MacNab" was such a kind hearted man and so" - The look of puzzled inquiry in Sandy's face changed to tender re gard as I translated. Before I had finished he was nodding his head ?energetically in token of compli ance and wrapping up the shoes in j a sheet of newspaper. Then he put them into the girl s hands and gent lv pushed her towajd the door. ^Ach! Du lieber Gott!" said the child, and, dropping a reverent old ?world courtesy, she turned to go.. "Whaur are ye leevin, lass)"' said Sandy, following her to the door. I explained the query, and she gave Mm an address near by. Sandy tucked a crumpled bank note into ber hand, and as he put a pinch of Maccaboy to his nostrils a moment later I thought I saw his hand dodg ing suspiciously about his eyes. The -girl looked at the bill in a dazed sort of way for a moment and then .dropped another courtesy, this time to the door of the shop, and waa gone. "Puir mitherless bairns," said Sandy as lie began a loud rat-tat on the sole of a shoe. Presently he paused and inquired, "What said she os she gaed oot?" "She said, 'Ah, thou dear God!*" I replied. "It was a prayer of thankfulness." "Puir bairn, puir bairn 1" said Sandy, stopping his work to take another pinch of snuff. "She pits the proud an' michty to shame wi' her simple faith. An' I ca'd her a heathen! Hech, Owen, lad, ifs a sair wari for bairns desertit by_their [ ain kin. Think ost, moni in o'j this great ceety four little anes fech lin wi' want air* poverty an' hunger by their lane in a garret, the prey o' the evil an' designing scorn'd by them that's no their betters, neg lects by the powerfu', except by way o' robbery, wi' ne'er a sieht of the fiels an' wavin' woods o' the bonny country or the wash o' the sea; withoot time or strength for childish play-eh, Owen. What if my Janet-na, 'na, better as she is, puir little one, unner the sod i' the kirkyard that leevin' sae beset." And Sandy dropped his head into his hands. I Ead never heard him al ude before to bis wife and daugh er, long dead in Linlithgow. "If 3 an owre lang tale to tell," aid Sandy after a momeut'a pause, eeming to find ir gentle comfort in (peech of his loved and lost ones, 'but I'se cut it short i' the tellin'. ?e'ara mon in a' Scotia was so lithe aa Alexander MacNab the day hat made bonny Bessie his bride, ?io! for mony a year after. Thu airni?s cam'? two o' them, but wee andie deed in infancy an' ainly fess was left to cheer, the little ame an^ malf bright xhe ingie |e?k. " Yet still we were happy, sae appy,- till Bessie-she was ne'er Irong, nor her mither-seemed to eaken day by dar an' fade oct an' aste awa'y till .Her face was .pale ?* clear wi* the awfu' whiteness o', e great hereafter'shinin' through e vail o' ?esh? Eh, she suld ha* ade a bonny angeli" Here Sandy paused abruptly and r some minutes sat silently brood g over the past. I did not inter? pt him, and presently he began Speak again in a low, tremulous lice:' - ? fSae she went, lad. Better so rhaps in a' the purity o' child od. An' the wife was like a bruis an' broken flow*r that droopts an' Joopt weel. An'.i' the kirkyard ley were sune side by side, an' a' ? jd I come to them, an' sae, as all the Irl' Was the, samejtcMny reft hairt. I cam', an' hore I haie lecYed my lane, waiting till the Lord is pleased o' his iniinito maircy to ca' me to my ain. A' wounds heal i' time, they gay, an* five an' twenty year is lang eneuch, but thc scar's wi me yet, Owen, the scar's wi* me yet, ar?' will be till my docing day, an* I canna see a wee bairn warslin wi' this wicked wari' like the puir Dutch lass but I maun think: lloo, if 'twere Bess? My ain wee Bes sie ?"' And the old man, dashing his hand across his eyes to clear away a mist that was not all of age, drew from his inner vest pocket one of those old fashioned daguerreotype cases that used to be so common on country house center tablea twenty years ago and handed it to me. I opened it and, after turning the caso this way and that to avoid the reflection from the glassy surface, saw two dimly outlined faces, the mother'E and daughter's, looking at each other. It was impossible to get much idea of what they were in life, but I looked at them a<? os? would look at a strange face in a coffin and then handed back the case in silence. Just then the door was flung open, and a number of men entered' the room, their forms but dimly discernible in the dusk which had fallen upon us unheeded. "Why, it's Langdon," said one, advancing with an e.\elamation of surprise. "I suppose you've got everything all arranged for the pic nic, Sandy?" "No," said I, hastily interposing. "We have not been talking about the picnic at all. That's what I come for, but Mr. MacNab has been telling all about the old days in Scotland, and we hadn't really got down to business yet." Sandy bustled about to light a couple of gas jets as I spoke, and when he had finished he slowly re turned, thankful, I was sure, for the moment's respite. 'Tin thinking" said Efl slowly, "that I s'all na gao to the picnic." "Not go to the picnic!" said young MacGowan in astonishment. "Why, uncle, how can that be? What would the picnic be wit*1 "it you?" "Aye, lad, it's kind o' you to speak sae, but I'm owre auld for sic tricks. I canna pit the stane nor hurl the caber nor rin nor loup nor warsle nor step a hielan fling. Young folk ?'uld be blithe an' mer ry, an' auld folk s'uld stay hame. Ninny mind me, lad, but go your ways." "He's thinkin' o' his bairn, puir Sandy," whispered Rob Mackenzie in my ear.-Owen Langdon. Brought Back Life. The London Lancet recalls a number of remarkable cases of re suscitation from apparent death. One of these was recorded by the late Sir Benjamin Ward [Richard son. A medical man had taken 120 grains of chloral. When seen, life seemed to all common observation to be extinct. No pulse or evidence of breathing was perceptible, and it was very difficult to detect the sounds of the heart, while the tem perature had sunk to 97 degrees F. The man had been in that condition for some hours. The patient was revived, however, by raising the tem perature of the room to 84 degrees and injecting warm milk and water into the stomach, and he made a complete recovery. Slaves of alco hol and narcotics run great risks of thia kind. Guarding a Secret. Two Irishmen had been tr.ken ?'risonere in 1798. One of then in ormed the military officer in com mand of the arresting party that he could make important revelations were it not for his fellow culprit. He dared not do so while the otbxr lived. If the other was put out of the way- That was soon arranged. No sooner was the other man dead than the surviving' prisoner quietly remarked: "Now, shoot me as soon as you please. ; It was he that knew the story, and I knew he'd peach!" Leap Year Privilege. In the reign of Margaret-1286 1292-the Scottish parliament pass ed an act saying that "every maiden of both high and low degree shall have liberty'to speak to the man she likes. If he refuse to take her to be his wife, he shall be mulct in the sum of '?100 or less, according to his estate, except and always if he can make it appear that he is be trothed to "another woman. Then he Shall be free." This is the origin of the famous, privilege given to wo men in leap year". < -1- ? - ?. ; - A womat) always looks OD the bright sid?r-of a rnirror.. - Chickens that come to roost have more sense, than some people? .. - A hero must die at the right time in order to acqniro a monument . - Mankind is divided into three classes-rider?, walkers and strap hangers. ; - A ten-pound baby can make more noise than a 250-pound man eau sup press. - When an old mao pro'poset'to a girl '?tis up to him to lay his heart at her foot and his checkbook in her hand. : - Being president never made a man insane, bat being kept ont of the presidential ohair has made moby a man hind. - Three men were killed, another fatally wounded.and a fifth shot twice in a street, fight, tho culmination of ? faed, at Br* au ta v ii lo, Ind ABSENT TREATMENT. The Mother, a Hundred Miles Away, Knew What Baby Needed. A young mother left her baby tvith her obliging mother-in-law one night iu order to attend the wed ding of a relative who lived in a town about a hundred miles distant. The young woman, apparently free from ali family cares, spent un en joyable evening, but just as tho newly wedded couple were preparing to depart on the midnight train an expression of acute anxiety Hashed across the young mothers counte nance. "Oh, George!" she exclaimed, clutching her husband's arm. "There was one thing that I forgot to tell your mother to do for tho baby, and he'll never go to sleep without it. You must go right out and send her a telegram." "Nonsense!" said George. "This isn't the first baby she's taken care of." "Eut, George, she'll never think of doing just the right thing, and the baby is so perfectly trained that he won't accept any substitute. I know he's crying hard at this Very minute." She was right. A hundred miles away a weary grandmother was at her wits' end because sh<; could think of nothing that would pacify a wailing infant who was most wretchedly sleepy, yet utterly un able to go to deep. She was pacing wearily back and forth in the nurs ery to the accompaniment of her grandson's howls when the doorbell rang and her daughter-in-law's tele gram arrived. Tearing it open, the tired, perplexed grandmother read: "Lay baby on his stomach in tho crib." Two minutes later the baby, ad justed to his liking, was sound asleep.-Leslie's Monthly. Her Developing Proeeaa. A small Brookline maid, aged five years, developed a propensity for climbing a tree near her home, the ascent being accomplished suc cessfully. But once up there she stuck, shouting lustily for help un til rescued by one of her big broth ers. Two or three times this expe rience was repeated, until the pa tience of her rescuers was exhaust ed, and her mother was obliged ta threaten punishment if the feat was not discontinued. "But, mamma," remonstrated the child earnestly, "I really have to do it!" "You have to do it?" repeated her mother, in surprise. "Why do you have to do it?" "Because," was the answer, delivered with much dignity, "I be long to an athletic association, and I do that to develop my muscles !" Boston Transcript. An Old Compliment. One of the neatest and most adroit compliments ever turned out was probably that of Croesus to Cambyses; That harebrained mon arch once, when the Persians and Croesus were sitting with him, asked what sort of a man they thought bim compared with his father, Cy rus. The Persians of course, like food courtiers, replied that he was etter than his father, for he had all Cyrus' possessions and Egypt ?nd the sea as well. Thus spoke the Jgyptians. Croesus, however, not being pleased with their opinion, spoke as follows, "Now, to me, O son of Cyrus, you do not seem equal to your father, for you have not such, a son os he left behind him in you."_ A 8erlouo Question.

"Would you mind te?incr, me how much you haye put away ?*r De Quinoey'e Books. Burton in his "Book Hunter" gives an amusing account of De Quincey's famous collection of books. "Some legend there is of a book collector having forced his way into the Cacus den and there seen a sort of rubble inner wall of vol umes, with their edges outward, while others, bound and unbound, the plebeian sheepskin and the aris tocratic Russian, were squeezed into certain tubs drawn from the wash ing establishment of a confiding landlady.'?_ Useless. "I (don't see much use of teaching the giris to play the piano now," ? said Mr. C?mrox. "What do* you mean?" inquired his wife'ominously. .

First Used, A Tike county Missourian is cred ited with having lirst used the ex pression, "If this court knows her self, and she think she do." Long before the discovery of gold in California n Pike county boy named Blackburn, BO it is said, ran away from homo and went to the Hooky mountains, whero ho grew to manhood as Indian fighter, hunt er, trapper and mountain guido. He became six feet four inches tall, pro portionately thin and marvelously awkward. Ho had many encounters with grizzlies and Indians, lie was scarred from head to foot, ono eye had been partly gouged out, his hair was thin and coarso and stood straight up on top of his head and hung in every direction from the sides. Blackburn, as might bj sup posed, was not an educated man, but he was not lacking in keen wit and sound sense. When gold was discovered, Black burn went to the mines, and the miners, as a 6ort of joke, elected him alcalde, an office similar to that of justice of tho peace. Tho first case brought before the alcalde was that of a gambler, who while drunk and on horseback hod run over a young Mexican woman, knocking her down and seriously injuring her. The trial took place in the largest cabin in tho neighborhood, which was packed with roughly dressed, much bewhiskered men. Tho gam bler, who was rich, hired able coun sel to defend him. Alcalde Black burn called the young woman, who told her story in broken English, but frankly and honestly. When she finished, the alcalde peremptorily ended the trial. The attorney for the defendant protested vehement ly, but tho alcalde ran his hand through his hair until it stood up straighter on top than ever and re marked : "If this court knows herself, and she think she do, I fino you $500 damages and assess upon you tho costs of puttin* this yere gal in good condition." When asked what he meant by "good condition," he replied that the "gamblin' chap" must pay the doctor's bill and all other costs of the woman's illness. A moro learn ed judgo might have made a more formal ruling, but scarcely a juster one.-Kansas City Journal. Do ttl It has been said that tho main difference between insignificant men and great men is energy, which re mark being interpreted means: If you've anything to do, do it, and if you haven't anything to do, find something. This is not intended to apply to labor, as conventionally ex pressed, but means simply the gen eral qualify inherent in the individ ual which makes action necessary . to comfort. And it should find ex pression in the child before the time comes when amalgamation into the great body of workers makes the in dividual a unit in the great question of labor versus capital. In childhood, while the mother is still the motive power of the forces that go to build up character, this quality, or the lack of it, begins to snow, and then is when the mother can do much toward making her boy either an insignificant man or a great one.-Exchange. Jarrad the Head Waiter. ' A western millionaire was dining with a New York friend in the most fashionable restaurant in the me tropolis. Summoning the head wait er, the western man, who is very fond of joking, said : "I presume everything in this Elace is the best that money can uv?" "Most assuredly, sir," replied the waiter, with a dignity that might have aroused the envy of a United States senator. "Well, that's all right, but when you run short what substitute do you use for terrapin?" For once in his life that head waiter was "kit at the post" and never tried for an answer. Measuring Eternity. ''Eternity !" The voice of the preacher sunk to a horrified whis per. "An eternity of torment I" he repeated. "Do you bethink you what eternity is? I tell you, it is as long as it would seem to you if you were going to the theater and were waiting for your wife to get ready and she had eight or nine heads instead of one!" Hero several men rose, haggard, and tottered for ward to the anxious scat.-Puck. Gripped Him. Their courtship had lasted two years. "I suppose," he ventured timidly, "that if I were to ask you to marry me you would promise to be a sister ito me." "Well, I should say not," she re plied, with ?ome spirit.

Uraius lu Farnilug. Texas has largely inore natural re sources than most States of the uuion. The destruction of cotton in South and west Texas has bd the people td develop the hidden resources and to plaut other crops besides cotton. All sections of the grand State arc not suitable for diversification, but rice, tobacco, tomatoes, onions, cabbages, etc., woro unkuown when tho boll weevil struck the State. A sufficiency of oom and hay was not produced. St. Louis and Kansas City were Tex as' smoleeh 0UB68. Not so since the pest como, and every season with thc experimental Btations develops the latent and better paying resources. Yet among the cotton raisers the pri oes received last season caused an increased acreage, but much of it is cow plowed up and other orops sub stituted that pay better. Yet the ignorant ?nd negroes plant cotton just as Adam farmed in Eden and trusted in nature's Qod, until finally they eat of the forbidden fruit, and for their ignoranoe are cast out. Such will remain tho case for all ages, and for the same cause they do not use intelligently the best seed. The land owner goos into politios or religion, and tenants poison the soil, and the brain deserts the farm for labor or ganisations, tho pulpit and learned professions, and the production of ootton grows less per aore. Yet Texas grows in her royal imperialism, sump tuary lawB, free silver, free trade weevil, etc., to the oountrary not withstanding.-Gen. John M. Clai borne in Southern Farm Magazine. The Pace of Progress. It seems impossible to aoouratoly estimate the pace of human progress. People still talk about the invention of the ootton gin and the sewing ma chine, for those things came at an ago of the world when progress was slow and the people had time to think. Marconi's latest achievement, brought to a high stage cf usefulness, attracted little comment. People said, "WonderfulI" and forgot it, or eine they failed to notice it at all. Do you realize that you can oovor tho 3,000 miles of water that separates Europe from Ameriot, and during every minute of the time he in speak ing distance of the world? It can be done, for it lino been done. A news paper is published os hoard the Cu narder Campania. Bulletin boards keep the passengers informed of the big news of the world, and it is now proposed to supply atook quotations and racing results on hoard trans-At lantic steamers. Think what the improved wireless telegraph would have meant in the mat ter of saving lives had it been an in* vention 20 years agol Vessels by the soore have been wrecked, with no message to tell of the disaster. Help might have been within reach had there been any method of sending out an appeal for aid. Supposing the Campania should break down, and the disaster reaoh ouch proportions that it would become necessary to take to the boats, Mar coni's invention would he worth mil i Hons a minute. Messages would tell the news to America and England, I with latitude and longitude of the ohip's boats. Other messages would sweep the sea, to intercept steamers that might he near enough to oarrv hurried aid to the shipwrecked. And a great disaster would beoome merely a property IOBB, and human lives yould be saved beoause of the tireless and wonderful brains of this one man. All tho money that he oan ever reap from his invention will not repay the debt humanity owes him. With wireless telegraph in general use, the Atlantio is no longer an ocean, but a great pond. We can talk across it.-Atlanta Journal. Wouldn't Hiss First Chance. They had \'an talking about Englishmen of title who took up use ful work, says the Courier Journal. Somebody mentioned Lord Ross, who is a good practical engineer, and then somebody else told this story: Lord Ross having once-unknown to the employees-entered the engine room of a large manufactory, the eogineo/B attention was attraoted by his odd behavior. ''Weii, what's up now?,: he growled at the peer.' "What are you shaking your head and pulling out your watch for? What have you got to find fault with anyhow?" "Ohl" replied Lord Ross, "it is all the same to me. I have got no fanlt to find. I am just waiting till the boiler explodes." "The boiler explodes? Why, you are orazy man," exolaimed the engi neer, angrily, preparing to turn the peer out as a dangerous crank. "Well," retorted the Earl, "if you work ten minutes longer with that loose screw there the boiler will cer tainly explode." The engineer, gazing in the direc tion indicated by Lord Ross, paled and jumped to stop the engine. "Why didn't you say so sooner?" he blurted out. "Why should I?" answered the peer. "I never yet have had an op portunity of seeing a boiler explode." A Chinese Dog Story. L'rinco Pu Lun aud the Chinese minister, Sir Sbentuug Liang Cheng, attended the races at Gravesend early in tho month, says an exchange. A number of noted New Yorkers were presented to the distinguished foreigner, and one of these gentlemen told an incident that illustrated the remarkable intelligence of a dog of his. Tho minister said, with a smile: "I am reminded, sir, of a Chinese dog story. "There was a Chinaman who had three dogs. When ho came home one evening he found them asleep on his couch of teawood and marble, whipped them and drove them forth. "The next night when he came home the dogs were lying on the floor. But he placed his hand on the oouoh ana found it warm from their bodies. Therefore he gave them another whip ping. "The third night, returning earlier than usual, he found the dogs sitting before the couoh blowing on it to cool it." o^n^lS Aobltsg Back, Blood Poison, Eczema.
