It was gathered about a little girl and a dog. There were a couple of policemen, a half-dozen women and a dozen men. The little girl was lost. The policemen knew it, the women knew it, the crowd knew it, and the little girl her* self knew it. Now the problem every* one was trying to solve was where the little girl belonged. Neither the policemen, the womem-tho crowd nor the little girl knew. “Where do you live?” asked a policeman. The little girl looked up in a fright ened way and shook her head. “Poor little dear—where does your mother live?” asked one of the wo men, thinking to get at the problem in a round-about way. Still the little girl shook her head. Finally a news boy appeared on the scene. lie eyed the assemblage contemptuously. “Here,” he said to the dog, “go home, sir.” Off started the dog, the little girl hanging on to his shaggy coat and the crowd following behind. Down Fourth avenue a few blocks, around the corner straight into the arms of an anxious woman who looked half frightened to death, and who took the little girl in her arms and hugged and kissed her. The dog went quietly into the house, the newsboy disappeared, the policemen and crowd went away, and it was all over. TOO ARTISTIC TO HAGGLE. Worth's Haughty Reply to a Patron Who Questioned His l’rlees. Every man has his price, though it is, in the case of renowned persons, occasionally high. No one under stands this better than Worth, the man milliner, as any person who wears his creations can vouch for. A good story is told of how one misguided woman ventured to remonstrate with him because he charged her #000 for a dress, which at first sight seems to ordinary people an expensive gown. “The goods,” said the lady, “could be bought for $100, and surely the work of making up would be well paid for with $25 more.” “Madam,” replied the outraged tailor, “go toM. Constant, the painter, and say to him: ‘Here is a canvass and colors, value $1. Paint me a picture on that canvass with these paints and I will pay you thirty-three and a third cents.’ What would be the answer? ‘Madam, this is no pay ment for an artist.’ No, but I say more. If you think my terms are too high keep the dress and pay me nothing. Art does not descend to the pettiness of haggling.” History does not record the lady’s ••eply. ____ Truth Spoken In Jest* Baron Ferdinand Rothschild tells an tmusing story about the late Lord Hertford. He lived in Paris during the last twenty years of his life, and as he usually went to bed very late, his valet was under the strictest or ders not to disturb him in the morn ing. “You may call me at 8 if there is » revolution,” was the command, “not itherwise.” 15y this his lordship probably meant that he was not to be iroused at all. On the morning of the 24tli of February, 1848, however, le was called at 8. “What’s wrong?” le grumbled; “is there a revolution?” ‘Yes, my lord, there is,” the valet re plied. This was the fact. It was then that Louis Philippe, the citizen ting, fled from Paris ana found refuge n England, where he died. Hadn’t Guessed the Right Name. Kathleen had been nut out to ser rice, and Mrs. Berry liked the rosy 'ace of the young Irish girl. One day Catlileen was sent on an er rand to town. She was longer than isual, and Mrs. Berry stood on the porch as she came through the field. Kathleen was happy, and Mrs. Berry •bserved: “Why, Kathleen, what a osy, happy face. You look as if the iew had kissed you.” Kathleen Iropped her eyes and murmured: “In lade,mum, but that wasn’t his name.” Tired, Weak, Nervous Could Not Sleep. Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston, Idaho, says? “I was all run down, weak, nervous and irritable through overwork. I suffered from brain fa tigue, mental depression, etc. I be came so weak and nervous that I could not sleep, I would arise tired, discouraged and blue. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and now everything is changed. I sleep soundly, I feel bright, active and ambitious. I can do more in one day now than I used to do in a week.

( THE ONE-HUNDRED-TON OUN. The Nolle of Its Firing Is s Source of Danger to Those Near It. "The man who has never been In close proximity to a one hundred tou pun when it is fired can have little conception of the noise and vibration,” said Lieutenant John \V. Leigh, a re tired naval officer. “Partly by court esy and partly by chance X was on the Thunderer at the siege of Alexandria some twelve or thirteen years ago. Two sets of advice were given me as to how to act when thb big guns were fired. Old experienced seamen can stand the shock by raising on their toes the moment tho word is given to fire. The majority of people, however, find it necessary, in order to preserve their ear drums from perforation, to lie down, resting most of the weight on their hands and toes. Even with this precaution the sensation is most unpleasant until one gets used to it. Even with the comparatively small guns in general use in our navy tho concussion on board a ship when a shot is fired is very annoying, but the enormous guns used so generally in European navies are a source of ter rible danger to the crew as well as the enemy, and I doubt if they could possibly be used in a hand-to-hand en counter, useful as they are for de stroying distant ports.” A Smallpox Cure. Some years asro there appeared in several newspapers in different parts of the country a prescription for a remedy for smallpox and scarlet fever which was vouched for by responsible parties as efficacious in both diseases, allaying in twelve hours all danger ous symptoms. Later, during the epidemic of smallpox in Philadelphia, it was stated that the superior of the convent in that city had administered the remedy with distinguished suc cess to crowds of people who came to the convent for the medicine which she prepared and gave out. The prescription is here given for what it it worth: Sulphate of zinc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis), one grain; half teaspoonful of sugar. Mix thoroughly tvith two teaspoons of water, add four ounces of water. Dose, teaspoonful every hour. Disease will disappear in twelve hours. J. H.
