He was a little fellow, about seven or eight years oM. and lie low the nsria) size for hiH ag. After he had etood there long enough to coit.it all the packs of firecrackers and im agined the grand time he could have with even a dozen of these noisy red sticks, he turned away with a tiny, wist ful eigh, and walked up to a fruit stand that was close by. "Gi'ine one yer hestestest oranges an a peach," lie haul The Italian looked at him: first at the dirty little face, then down at the bare feet, blue from the cold pavement and blackened with inn i The little fellow felt flie contempt in W;i- look given nun. and drawing iiim-ieji mi with all the dignity worthy of u perfee ly dressed gentleman, extended a silvi i ten cent piece and said: "I got the nn uev.

Foote. piv-i dent of the National Secular social j-rformed a ceremony which has of liecome almost obsolete among Fret thinkers '-the naming of inCants." tu wit: The parents ajipeared on the plat turin with their child, a baby of three mouths Mr. Foote brieiiy explained that the custom of publicly naming chi! dren, which had been frequently oil served by Mr. Uradlangh. Mrs. Besant and other Secularist lecturers, was in n sense intended to be a travesty of any n ligious function. If parents desired then offspring to be pnblicly identified wnli the Freetliought party, there was no rea son why this should not be done. Then Mr. Foote, having kissed the baby with due solemnity, named it Carlile Uridlaugh Owen (iolding." Ti;. first of this portentous string of "given names" is derived from Richard Carlil -who suffered ten years of imprisonment early in this century for asserting the right of free publication. Mr. Foote ex pressed a hope that, when the child be comes old enough to understand the sur nificance of the names he bears, be may prove worthy of them. Cor. Public Opinion. Conl in a River. During the several freshets which hnvt occurred in the Susquehanna river fly past spring a vast amount of "culii:' from the anthracite coal fields floated down the river witli the debris coming out of the North Branch and its tribti taries. Large quantities of this culm ot coal dirt, which was washed from tin huge banks of that material at the co t! breakers, lodged at the heads of the sev eral islands opposite and above the city, and recently parties have secured tons of it by digging it out of the sand and screening it. producing a good quality of pea and chestnut coal for boiler use. A considerable quantity of egg ot larger sized coal is also gathered fron the bottom of the river, where it lias lodged among the gravel, and is removed in a perfectly clean state. All the larger sizes of coal have become more or ".- rounded by the action of the water Tons of this material are gathered din ing the summer when the river is low. Harris burg Star. A Dojj's Sympathy, Saturday afternoon a case of remark able sytnpathy on the part of a dog was witnessed on Church street, near the postoffice. A small dog strayed out into the street and was run over by a passing vehicle. He was not permanently crip pled, but appeared hurt across the bac; and at first lay howling and squirmi'i-.-in the street. Another dog of an entir ly different breed was standing on tin sidewalk when the accident occurred Promptly he went to the assistance his injured companion, and by pushing him with his nose aided him in rising, and then escorted him to the sidewalk with ever' possible demonstration of mute sympathy, and stood by him until the partly paralyzed animal was able to hobble off. Persons who witnessed it expressed astonishment at the unusual spectacle. West Chester (Pa.) News. To Keep In sorts Off from Tree. The tying of a piece of wool round a tree stem to keep down the bugs and vermin is a poor idea, because it is based on the supposition that ail these nui sances ascend from the ground, whereas in most instances, the eggs are laid in the foliage above the supposed gnard The only actual preventive involves ; delicate toleration, which, however, can be successfully performed by a man win: a steady hand. It consists in boring a small hole in the tree near the ground and filling it with sulphur. The s;. carries this over the tree and there v.-ii: be few insects settle or crawl on auy part of it. The spring is the best tini to do this, but with a 6troug healthy tr-t it can be done now witn perfect safety St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Seat a tin ml red Franc.

A Trwiibl im Juetloa. riie boundary line between the United states ami the British jiossessions in North America once more threatens to become the subject of international dis pute, conference and arbitration A hrdf century ago "Fifty-four Forty or Fight" was a campaign cry, and the coming controversy begins at that line, from which President Polk retreated, the once northern boundary of Oregon territory being the southern boundary of our ter ntory of Alaska. The discussion of the ownership of Kevillagigedo, Pearse and Wales islands, ami of the line of the Portland canal, will rival the content over San Jnau island and San Kosario oi De Haro straits, decided in favor of the United States, by the emperor of (it-r many as arbitrator, in 172. Each year that the boundary line tween Alaska ami British Columbia t mains in question increases the difficulty of determining it. Each year settle ments are increasing in numbers, mop private interests are involved, arid ti region in di.-pute becomes more valu;.i.. to each claimant. There is great in!i: ference to the question on our side of tl line, but in Ihe Dominion it is well un derstood, and parliament and publ:i opiuion have taken their stand, ('ana dian maps now differ from the Unii .i States maps of that northwestern region and this boundary question proinis.-s in provoke more international bittern-.-- than the present Behring tea dispute. -Century. Itt-t nrned After Tliirty Years. The return to Milwaukee of livr!- . Sidley after an absence of forty-one year is to his relatives almost as if the -. .1 had come to life. The father of Mr. SH ley was a physician and druggist in M.i waukee in the forties. Kyrle Sidi -v spent most of his youth in the east. U--.t was in Milwaukee during the year lxi. The next year ho went east and ship; as a sailor. In 1SU1 Mr. Sidley went to Austral! t For some time his relatives heard fin;, him regularly. Suddenly tin. ni,;v spomlence ceased, and for thirty year. he was mourned as dead. As was after ward learned Mr. Sidley lost everythi; : by fire, the addresses of his relative.-- be imj destroyed. The families had moved and his letters did not reach their proper destination. Likewise Mr. Sidley ha moved and the letters sent y his fam ily failed to reach him. Three year ago he employed a lawy--to find his relatives, and after a f months he was in communication wirii them. This year Mr. Sidley, now sixtv two years of age, decided to visit In. relatives in Milwaukee, and he arrived there this week from Australia, li found two of his sisters living there, a.i : a brother came from New York to m-i i him. After his visit Mr. Sidley will re turn to Australia. Chicago Tribune. Mosiiitocs in Paris. Mosquitoes are, 1 venture to say. for the first time within the memory of li.e oldest inhabitant, a plague of man;, parts of Pari.-?. The dampness of ih. spring is said to be the reason why t'n-y nightly buzz, bito and leave faces ami hands covered with hard, red blolcn.v But 1 believe the true cause is the wl; .- sale destruction of Seine fish when i!. icefloes in that river were being dymi mited last winter. 1 never suffered so much in war:-, weather in any part of the south France from mosquitoes as I have do:: this week. If one sits by a lamp n i: an open window along many of the bou levards a swarm of them assails one The mosquito bednet not being used in Paris, one lies down at night unprotect ed, and is liable to rise in the morn in;, with a disfigured face in a state of p-sit: ful itchiness.
