A Ktory or the Late A. T. Stewart. I was a young lawyer at the tune, about as poor ns a home missionary. 1 Lad to go ti the late A. T. Stewart's to take hia signature to an affidavit. lie signed nnd 1 swore him; then he wished to know how much there va Jo vay. In view of what took place afterward. 1 am justified, I think, in saying that what .Ir. Stewart extweted me to say when he asked "How much?" waa "Oh. that's all right." Dut 1 didn't say that: I said. "Seveuty fivo centH." "What?" shouted M r. Stewart. "Seventy -live cents," I answered again. "I won't pay it," said he. "You've no right to ask so much. The price is o shilling, and that's all I'll give you." "But, Mr. Stewart," I replied, "a shil ling ia the price wheD you come to my office. I've come to your store and I've a right to charge for my car fare and a reasonable amount for my time. Seventy-live cents ia really a very small charge, Mr. Stewart, a very small charge." "I won't pay it," he persisted. "If you want a shilling you may have it. but not one cent more." I got angry then. 1 gave him one look, with which I intended to convey the idea that I held him in contempt. Then 1 said: "Mr. Stewart, you are a poor man ami I'm a rich one. Tweuty tive cents ia nothing to me and seventy five cents ia a fortune to you. I'll make you a present of that seventy-five cents that you owe me." Then 1 made my best dancing school bow and walked off. Interview in New York Times. The Kfrectlvenesa of Modern Guns. The prominence given to a lecture by the German doctor, Dr. Billroth, on the wounded in war, has induced Mr. Archi bald Forbes to write on the subject. Dr. Billroth estimates that of tne cas nalties'at Weissenhurg and Worth dur ing the Franco-German war, 80 per cent, of all the wounded were caused by rifles, 15 per cent, by the large guns, and not quite 5 per cent, by the lance and sword. Mr. Forbes, however, says that the sta tistics for the whole of the war on the German side prove that over 90 per cent were due to rifle fire, about 9 per cent, to artillery, and about 1 per cent, to cold steel. The smallncss of the mortality from the French artillery is explained by the fact that their artillery was notoriously badly served. Dr. Billroth believes that the future will see a still greater pro portion of deaths resulting from rifle fire than from shell. Mr. Forbes points out that, in doing so, no account has been taken of the probable use of highly destructive explosives in the shells of the future. Army and Navy Gazette. The First Protestant In Japan. The first Protestant Christian in Ja pan was one Murata, a military retainer of the Lord of Saga, in the southern is land of Kinshiu. In I860 he went to Nagasaki, by order of his chief, and one evening, as he was crossing the harbor in a boat, he picked up a book that was floating about in the water. The writing ran from side to side, "like the crawling of crabs," and upon sending it to one of the Dutch tnen settled at Nagasaki, he learned that it was the Christian Bible, then a proscribed book. Curiosity spur red him on, and he had one of his as sistants learn the language of the book and translate it for him, sentence by sentence. His study was continued in secret. with a few friends, after his return home. When a difficult passage was found, a messenger was sent to Dr. Ver beck, a well known missionary then in Nagasaki, for its interpretation. Murata was afterward baptized, and his name now stands first on the roll of Protes tant Christians in Japan. London Times. Women Taking the Places of Men. In Holland men can no longer be trusted to work the switches on the rail ways, and women now fill their places. This is a slap in the face indeed to the male sex, and a great triumph to the ad vocates of female labor. But we have yet to see how the thing works. The men say that there will now be looking glasses in the switch boxes, and that the women will never leave them till they have smoothed their last hair and settled the bow of their last ribbon, and that in the meantime there will be collisions; that when left to themselves they nver have been in time for the train as pas sengers, and will not be more punctual as pointswomen; and, finally, that if they hear their lover's whistle anywhere in the neighborhood they will pay very lit tle attention to that of the locomotive. If these objections are not valid, con clude the men, "we are not Dutchmen." London Queen. An Old Fashioned Phrase. There is an old fashioned phrase cf hospitality which consists of only two words, and I find it a parallel to the Greek salutation, and like it. a com mand. "Sit by," says the comfortable New England farmer to his guest be neath his roof. Now compare this com manding phrase with the more modern polite question, "Will you partake of refreshments?" which is as empty and void as a Chinese invitation, and throws the choice of acceptance on the guest One is the living soul of speech, the other a mere dead formality. Detroit Free Press. The Death of Christ. In a book entitled "The Physical Causes of Christ's Death," the writer Btates that Christ died from a broken heart, so th?.t, when the soldier pierced his side, blood and water flowed out. which whould have been an impossibility if no rupture had taken place. The Wisdom of It. Cora Don't you think that law pre venting one from marrying his deceased wife's sister was a very f-xlih one? Merritt On the contrary, I've always considered it a wise one, because there's seldom more than one pretty girl in a family. New York Epoch. ifejow to Care for m Trotter. When the horse comes in from his work rub him all over from his ears to bin tail and down to his knees with wash as near the temperature of his bod' as possible. To make this wash take one Iart alcohol, two parts pure witch hazel and three or four tiinca as much oft water as the combined quantity of al cohl and witch hazel. Cvery muscle should be rubbed thoroughly. Throw a medium weight blanket over the hore now, and let him stand until you have put the bandages on. Use the same wash for tho legs a for the body, but have it cold. After put ting the wash on the legs, rub them well with the palm of the hand, always rub bing dovn, never up. Put the bandages on immediately after tho rubbing. Hub all his heels perfectly dry with cleau, dry rags. Care should be taken in thia, as cracked heels are very stubborn and often lay a horse op for the season. Throw the blanket back from the head and scrape out all wash f,hat mains, most of it will have entered tho pores of the body; cover up his shoul ders and scrape the rest of tho bod; take a clean, dry rag and rub him all over lightly, always rubbing with the hair as much as possible: now put a light hood on him and an extra blanket over his loins, and after looking at his heels again walk him out for about (ivo minutes, then bring him in, and should he have broken out any while walking scrape him again lightly, after which . give him another light rubbing for say four or five minutes, when he should again be walked for about ten minutes, . and again taken in and rubbed slightly, after which put on lighter blankets and continue to reduce the weight as the heat leaves the body. Rider and Driver. , A Care for Laziness. A traveler in the course of a morning walk in Amsterdam camo upon a group gathered around a well, into which a strongly built man had just been let down. A pipe, whose mouth was at the top of the well, had been opened, and a stream of water from it was flowing into the well and gradually filling it. The man below had quite enough to do, if he did not want to be drowned, to keep the water out by means of a pump which was at the bottom of the well. The traveler, pitying the man, asked for an explanation of what seemed to be a cruel, heartless joke. "Sir," replied an old man standing near, "that fellow is, as you see, healthy and strong. I have myself offered him work twenty times, but he always al lows laziness to get the better of him, and will make any excuse to beg his bread from door to door, though he might easily earn it if he chose. "We are now trying to make bom real ize that he must work. If he uses the strength that is in his arms he will be saved; if he lets them hang idle he will be drowned. But look," continued the old Dutchman as he went to the edge of the well, "the fellow finds out that he has muscles already; in an hour we shall let him out with better resolutions for the future." The traveler watched until tne man was liberated from his watery prison. and felt sure that at least a temporary cure had been effected. Youth's Com panion. One Han's Share. The other day a politician of national prominence sat in "the amen corner, as it is called, of the Fifth Avenue hotel, where Republican big guns go in batteries. Across the corridor sat a keen eyed, swarthy life insurance agent. Presently a newspaper man. who make his headquarters at the up town hotel- entered and nodded familiarly to both politician and life insurance agent. They were both under obligations to him. In the most natural way in the world. from talking to both at almost the same time, he introduced them. Soon after ward he strolled on. Now this particu lar life insurance agent had been watch ing for months for an opportunity of making the acquaintance of this particu lar politician. He was not 6low to im prove the opportunity, now that he had it, and he wrote a life policy of $25,000 as the result. The next day the journal ist who so innocently introduced the hunter and his prey received by mail a check for $400. Now this shows a great many things among others, the enor mous profits life insurance agents must make when they can give such commis sions. John A. Cockerill in New York Recorder. When Did the "Glass Ate" I'egin? So far as research has been able to de termine, glass was in use 2,000 years be fore the birth of Canst, and was even then not in its infancy by any manner of means. In the Slade collection at the British museum there is the head of a Hon molded in glass, bearing the name of an Egyptian king of the eleventh dynasty. This is the oldest specimen of pure srlass bearing anything like a date now known to exist. The invention now known as "bleezing," the mode of var nishing pottery with a thin film of glass, is believed to date back to the first Egyp tian dynasty. Proof of this is found in the pottery beads, glass glazed, found in the tombs of the age above referred to. St. Louis Republic. Music That Is Seldom Sang. The raisins: of an umbrella in the theater is a bad omen for the business. Where i3 the man of fearless heart who will 6mg the music of "Macbeth" or "Met; Merrilies" other than at the re hearsal or production of those plays? Should he attempt it he will be "sat down upon" in great shape and very hard by the other members of the com pany. Of all bad omens the singing of that music is among the worst. Chicago Herald. Robert Toombs Adrlce. A lawyer went to Robert Toombs and asked what he should charge a client in a case to which Mr. Toombs had just listened in the court house. "Well," said Toombs, "1 should charge $1,000, but you ought to have $5,000, for you did a great many things that I would not have done." Exchange. PLACES OF WOKSIIIP. Catholic.--t.
