The conduc tor, on seeing the stuation, pulled pulled the cord and stopped the train, which mule soma think th child was in dang r or under the cars, but the boy know what he was about and doubtless already realizes that if he don't blow his ov.r. horu no one will blow it for him.

Nov. 26, 1885, "Oil Korrect. Moses Folsom, of Port Townsen-i sends the- following sketch of the origin of the use of the letters "O. K." which. he states, was furnished him personally by James Parton While at Nashville in search of mate rial for his history. Mr. Parton found among the records of the court of which Gen. Jackson had been judge a great many legal documents indorsed "O. R., which meant "Ozder , recorded," but often so scrawlingly written that one could easily read it as O. K. If "Major Downing noticed a bundle of legal pa pers thus marked upon President Jack 60ifs table, documents, perhaps, from his former court, in which ho still had interest, it is very easy to see how a pun ster could imagine it to be "O. K.," or "oil korrect No doubt Seba Smith, who wrote under tho nom de plume of "Major Jack Down ing," had much to do with creating the impression that President Jackson was unlettered and illiterate, whereas many existing personal letters, military reports court opinions and state papers 6how to tlie contrary. lie lived before the day of stenographers and typewriters, and yet carried on a vol ummoua correspondence. Hundreds of his personal letters to old soldier friends aro still preserved as heir looms in the south, and his handiwork ia numerous in Washington. Ue was evi dontly a rapid penman, and made greater use of capital letters than is the present custom, but misspelled words and stum bling sentences were few and far be tween. Portland Oregonian. A Famous IJetrotlial Over Forty Year Ajjtv "I wonder how many people know that Victoria the Good, as it has been suggested the queen of England shall be called, when she fell in love had to do tho proposing for herselfr" said an Amer icanized Englishman the other morning. "I was much interested in reading re cently tho account of her betrothal. It had always been expected that she and her cousin Albert would eventually make a match of it. When they were both about 18 years old he visited England, but did not make uiuch impression on tho newly crowned queen. However, three years later he made up his mind to a 'now or never game, and witn im brother visited her at Windsor castle. Like more humble lovers, he was placed in a rather embarrassing predicament by the non -arrival of his luggage, and wa thus prevented from dining with her majesty on his first evening as her guest For live days did Victoria etudy hini, and then after first telling her adviser, Lord Melbourne, what she had decided to do, she sent for Albert, saying that she desired to see him particularly. One ac count of the affair, certainly valuable for its brevity, reads as follows: 'What the queen told him wa3 that she Joved him with ner whole heart, ana that she de sired to bo hi3 wife.' She was accepted without hesitation, as any good looking sovereign of 20 might have hoped to havo been, and 60 they were married." Pliila delphia Press. Tito Weight of ItiUividuais, The average weight of a boy at birth is toven and that of a girl a little more than six pounds. When they have at tained the full development of man or womanhood they should weigh twenty times as much as they did at birth. Tlus would make a man's average weight 140 and a woman's about 125. The height rf a male at birth is 1 foot 8 inches and that of a female 1 foot G inches. Fully grown, a man's height should be about three and a half times greater than at birth, or 5 feet 9 inches, while a woman should be 5 feet 3 inches. The weight of individuals who are fully developed and well formed, however, vanes within ex tremes, which ore nearly as 1 to 2, while their height varies within limits which at most are as 1 to 1 3. Taking 200 pounds as tho maximum of man's weight and S.l as the minimum vo would have the average of I42i pounds. Placing the maximum weight of woman at 185 pounds and the minimum ct W pounds, and we get an a erago cf 12 pou-iius. PliiladcJjliui Rcord.
