THE NEW YEAR'S ERRAND.
"What are those children doing?"
usked the clergyman of his wife a Yew
days after Christmas.
"I really cannot tell you, James,"
was the reply, as his wife" peered anx
iously over his shoulder, and out of thc
window. "All that I know about it is
this: I was busy in tho pantry, when
Rob put his head in, and asked if he
could have tho Christmas tree, as near
ly everything had been taken off of it;
ko I said 'Yes,' and there he goes with
it, suro enough. I do hope tho wax
from tho candles has not spotted tho
parlor carpet."
'Don't be anxious, wife; 'Christmas
comes but once a year, and when it
comes should bring good cheor.1 "
"Yes," said the careful housewife,
"I suppose I do worry. But there! it is
snowing again, and IJertha perched up
on that tree on Rob's sled, and she so
subject to croup!"
"Tho more she is out in tho pure air,
tho less likely she is to take cold; but
where are they going?"
"I really do not know, James. Did
you ever see a dog more devoted to any
one than Jip is to Rob? There he goes,
Untieing beside him now; and 1 see
Rob has tied on the scarf IJertha knit
for him: that is done to please her. She
Oid work so hard to get it finished in
time before he came homo for the holi
days." "Sho is very like her own dear little
mother in kindness and care for oth
ers," was the reply.
Tho molher gave a bright smile and
n kits for the compliment, but a little
wail from tho nursery hurried her out
of the room.
Christmas at the parsonage had been
delightful, for, lirst of all, Bob's return
from boarding-school was a pleasurablo
wont; ho always came homo in such
good spirits, was so full of his jokes and
nonsense, and had so many funny things
to tell about tho boys. Then there was
the dressing of tho church with ever
greens, and tho decoration of tho parlor
with wreaths of holly or running pine,
and the spicy smell of all the delicacies
"which were in course of preparation,
for Sally was a famous cook, and would
brook no interference when mince-pies
and plum-pudding were to be con
cocted. But the children thought tho arrival
of a certain box, which was always dis
patched Irom town, tho very best of all
the Christmas dolights. This box came
from their rich aunts and uncles, who
seemed to think that the little parson
"ngo must be a dreary place in winter,
and so, to mako up to its inmates for
losing all the brightness of ncity winter,
they sent everything they could think
of in the way of beautiful pictures, gor
geous books, games, sugar-plums, and
enough little glittering things for two
or three trees. Of courso the clergy
man always laid asido some of these
things for other occasions, lest tho
children should be surfeited.
And so Christmas had passed happi
ly, as usual. The school-children had
sung their carols and enjoyed their
feast, the poor had been carefullv
looked after and made comfortable, tint!
there had come tho usual lull after a
season of excitement It was now tho
day before the first of tho now j'ear,
and the parson was writing a sermon.
He was telling people what a good time
it was to try and turn over a new leaf;
lo be nobler, truor, braver, than they
had ever been before; to let the old
year carry away with it all selfishness,
all anger, envy, and unloving thoughts;
and as he wrote, he looked out ot the
"window at the falling snow, and won
dered where Rob and Bertha could have
gone. ,
Dinner-time came. Aunt Ellen,
mamma, and the parson sat down
alone. "Where arc those children?"
repeated mamma.
" I do not think yon need be worried,
Kate," said Aunt Ellen. "Rob is so
thoughtful, he will take good care of
Bertha. They have perhaps stopped
in at a neighbor's, and been coaxea to
stay."
"Very likely," said the parson. And
then the baby came in, crowing and
chuckling, and claiming his privileges,
such as sitting in a high chair and feed
ing the cat, and mamma had enough to
do to keep the merry fellow in order,
orhis fat little hands would have grasped
all tho silver, and pnlled over the
glasses.
After dinner, while the parson let the
baby twist his whiskers or creep about
his knees, mamma played some lovelv
German music, and Aunt Ellen cro
cheted. The short afternoon grew
dusky. "Baby went off to the nursery;
the parson had lighted his cigar, and
was going out for a walk, but mamma
looked so anxious that, he said:
"I will go look for the children,
Kate."
Really, I think j'ou will have to
give Rob a little scolding, my dear. He
should have told us where he was go
ing. " Yes, I suppose s," said the par
son; when just then there was a glee
ful cry a merry chorus made up of
Rob's, Bertha's and -Tip's voices, and
there they were, Bertha on the sled, and
Rob was her horse.
"Where have you been, my son?"
said the parson, trying to be severe.
"You. should not have gone off in this
manner for the whole day without ask-

"flush, Bertha!" said Rob; and red
as his cheeks were, they grew redder.
"lam sorry you are offended sir. 1
did not- mean to be so long. We were
detained."

"No, sir," said Rob, frankly.
"now. papa, you Mail not sa

laud
Rob," said IJertha, puttins her ha.
In his. "Come into your study. Go
away, Rob; go give "Jip his scupper.
Come, mamma;" and Bertha dragged
them both in to tho fire, whore with
sparkling eyes and cheeks like carna
tion, bhe began to talk: "Mamma, you
remember that scrimmage Rob got into
with thc village boys last Fourth of
July, and how hatefully they knocked
him down, nnd how bruised his eye was
for a long time?"
Yes, 1 remember, and I always
blamed Rob. He hhould never have
had anything to do with those row
dies." "I didn't blamo him; I never blame
Rob for niryth ng, except when he
won't do what 1 want him to do. Well,
the worst one of all those horrid boys
Is Sim Jenkins at least he was; I
don't think he's quite so bad now. But
he has been punished for all his bad
ness, for he hurt h"s leg awfully, and
has been laid up for months so his
mother says; nnd she is quite nice.
Sho gave us our dinner to-day. Some
how or other Hob heard that Sim was
in bed, and had not had any Christmas
things, and that his mother was poor;
and she says nil her money has gone
for doctor's bills and medicine. And
so it just carne into his head that per
haps it would do Sim good to have a
Christmas-tree on New-Ycars's Day;
and he asked Mrs. Jenkins, and she
was afraid it would make a muss, but
Rob said he would be careful. And so
he carried our tree over, and fixed it in
a box, and covered the box with moss,
and we have been as busy as bees try
ing to make it look pretty. And that
is what has kept us so long, for Rob,
had to run down to the store nnd get
things nails and ribbons, nnd I don't
know what all. And Sim is not to
know anything about thc tree until to
morrow." And please give us some of
thc pretty things which were in our
box, for we could not get quite enough
to till all the branches. Rob spent so
much of his pocket-money on a knife
for Sim that he had none left for candy;
for he said the tree would not give Sim
so much pleasure unless there was
something on it which he could always
keep."
Here little Bertha stopped for want of
breath, and looked into the face of her
listeners.
The parson put his arm around her
as he said, "I hardly think we can scold
Bob now, after special pleading so
eloquent as this; what do you say,
mamma?"
"I say that Rob is just like his father
in doing this kindly' deed, and I am glad
to be the mother of a boy who can re
turn good for evil."
The parson made a bow. "Now wo
are even, madam, in tho matter of gra
cious speeches."
So Sim Jenkins woke up on New
Year's Day to see from his weary bed a
vision of brightness-a little treo laden
with its fruit of kindness, its llowers of
a forgiving spirit, nnd as tho parson
preached his New-Year's sermon, and
saw Rob's dark eyes looking up at him,
he thought ot the verse,
" In their young hearts, soft and tender,
Guide my hand irood seed to sow,
That its bhwomiiiK may praise Tbco
Whercso'er they go."

fjOTcrnnient Bund Paper.
A Boston special to tho Chicago
Tribune says: Considerable comment
having been made relative to tho libor
paper being found in possession of tho
forger Brockway and gang, tho officers
in charge of the mill where the bank'
note paper has been mado for over a
year past were interviewed this morn
ing. The mill is located at Coltsville,
in the east part of tho town of Pittsficld,
near tho Dalton line, and tho paper is
manufactured under a contract with
the Messrs. Crane, bond-paper makers,
for several years. Officers represent
ing the Government and Treasury De
partment located in Coltsville say that
the paper captured is not even au imi
tation, or at least a very poor ono, of
the distinctive paper used ten years
ago. Tho paper now made contains
fiber, but also has threads running
through tho sheets, so that each bank
bill has a red silk thread running down
one side and across the onds, and with
the precaution taken at tho mill nnd
shipment of tho paper It is impossible
for outside parties to obtain it, or for
the officers or watchman to bo in col
lusion with' the counterfeiters. None
but the best-posted of tho operatives of
Crane & Co., and those who have been
in their employ a long time, arc em
ployed in tho manufacture, and espe
cially from the time the pulp receives
the silk fiber every process of manu
facture is under the closest inspection
of the officials. The sheets are counted
and inspected by ladies omployed by
the Treasury Department, nearly all of
whom have been in that branch of tho
service lor a long time.
Coming to Berkshire County when the
contract was transferred from tho
Pennsylvania contractor, each sheet is
examined and passed through ten other
operatives for inspection. Every sheet
is accounted for. spoiled ones being
carefully watched while being again
torn up and mado into uulo. Eaclfem-
ploye is searched on leaving or enter
ing tho mill. Tho- mill itself is care
fully guarded by Government employes
nig&t and day. A detective stationed
at Pittsfield constantly visits the mill at
all times, day and night, when least ex
pected. When shipments are made the
paper is placed in iron-bound packages,
sealed. A guard rides on the wagon
from Coltsville to Pittsfield Station,
where it is delivered to the American
Express Company in a car under Gov
ernment inspection. A dotectivo rides
in the car to Bridgeport, Conn., where
another Treasury officer takes charge of
it, taking it to New York, where it is
delivered to the Sub-Treasury, and from
there sent to Washington to be printed
upon. No visitor is allowed in tho mill
under any circumstance and every pre
caution possible is taken to prevent even
the smallest piece from getting into the
hands of outside parties. Nor has such
a thing ever occurred. So they are
emphatic in tho denial of the report that
counterfeiters had the distinctive paper
used by the Government, or even a fair
imitation.

An EplMfe T Br4er Life.
"Wake up. Ramsey!" called out a
companion of mino one morning at an
early hour; " wake up or you will miss
tho lynching." I had gone to bed at
an early hour, tired anil sleepy, and had
heard nothing of the murder which had
been committed during tho nibt.
"Hullo! Jim, is that von?" said L
"When does thc thing take place V
"Pretty quick now," answered my
friend.
So hurriedly donning my clothes I
sauntered out and found ray "bunkv"
waiting at thc door of thc shanty. Wo
walked up street a thort distance, and
finding a crowd of rouzh-looking miners
around the door of a gambling hell, we
pushed through and entered the saloon,
where we found a Coroner" s jury im
paneled and about to begin their in
vestigation. Two tables, used for deal
ing faro had been pushed together, and
on them was stretched the dead body of
a police officer. I had known him welL
He was a splendid specimen of man
hood, tully six feet mx inches in height,
and built in proportion, a quiet, inof
fensive citizen, but a thoroughly good
officer. On the top of the body lay a
coil of half-inch rope, neatly rolled up,
with a hangman's noose at ono end. As
we entereu the Coroner called the first
witness, who, having been sworn, stated

They made considerable noise, and in
the midst of it the officer came in and
quietly said: 'Boys, less noise; this must
be stopped.' He had no sooner said
this than one of the gamblers jerked out ,
his 'gun' ind hot the officer through ,
thc heart." The witness had proceed
ed thus far, when a strapping big fel
low, clad in a red flannel shirt and with
Eantaloons stuck into his bootlegs, a
road-brimmed hat half hiding his dark
eyes, quietly walked up to the dead
body, and taking hold of the coil of j
rope, said: "Boys, llyit's enough: come '
on," pushing his way out through tho
crowd, followed by fifteen or twenty of
his companions. Without a word they
walked down to the "cooler," where
the prisoner had been incarcerated, and
coming up to the six men on guard,
demanded the keys. They told them
that tho keys were not in their posses
sion. "Hold up your hands, then," cried
thc leader; " let's examine you."
The guards hold up their hands and
quietly submitted to the examination.
The lynchers, finding that tho ke'S
were not in their possession, went to a
woodpile, and, picking up an ax speed
ily demolished the door. Thc leader
then entered the room, and. in a few
minutes came nut with one end of tho
rope over his shoulder, and at the other
end was tho murderer, the noose tightly
around his neck. I had taken my stand
on tho opposite side of the street, and
could plainly sec the poor devil as he
came out. Ho was richly clad, a largo
diamond stud glistened on his shirt
front, on the little finger of his
left hand was a large solitaire,
and a heavy gold watch chain
dangled from his vest pocket His
countenance did not betoken fear; in
fact, to look at tho man ono would
have thought the whole performance
was but a joke. Aftor reaching tho
street the crowd seized hold of the rope
and led thc victim down to an old
building, where a beam jutted over the
sidcwnk. When they reached .this
point ono of the number climbed out
over the beam, and the end of the rope
was thrown to him. After pulling the '
slack up he slowly let it down
on thc other side, and then
leaned his elbows down on the
beam, and took a deliberate look at thc
crowd below. The leader of thc com
mittee then approached the gambler
and said: " Well, Jim, yer time's short;
want to sa anything?"
Jim replied, ami said: "Now, look
here, can't you jist as well put a few
bullets through me: what's the differ
ence? I've got $1,000 in my pockets,
and you can divide the whole thing
among you if you don't hang. Will
you do it?"
"Not by a blamed sight," said tho
leader. "You murdered a good man,
and you've got to swing for it."
"Well," said Jim, "go on; I suppose
I must swing; tlrs is the third man I've I
put awav, so I suppose my time's up."
He hadlio sooner. said the words than
the rope was quickly pulled up. and
Jim was dangling in a horrible manner.
His hands not being tied, he reached
up over his head and grasped tho rope,
and thus released the strangulation.
"That won't do, Jim." cried tho
loader, nnd they let the dangling vic
tim down again and speedily tied his
hands behind him, aud again elevated
him, where he hung for nearly an hour.
After it was ascertained that "their vic-
tim was dead, the "committee" sent
for a photogranher, and had a photo-1
graph taken of thc entire " gang." In
tho foreground the committee could bo
?een ever' face easily recognized
while just behind them was the dang
ling dead man, his diamonds and jewel
ry shining ip tho early morning sun,
and above him sat l he assistant hang
man, evidently proud of his station.
The entire proceedings were as quiet as
could possibly be; not a word or shout
could bo heard. The companion of the
murderer was given six hours' time to
get out of town,' and was met some two
miles away by some of his fr.ends, who
asked him where he was going.
" Oh, the boys gave me six hours to
get out of town," said he, "nnd lam
now live hours ahead of time."

Financial Education.
Such a recent occurrence as the fail
ure of the Women's Bank, in Boston.
i Mass., is too suggestive a social fact to
be trivially dismissed with a sneer, as it
has been generally by the prcs.
Though the entire scheme was con
' ceived and inaugurated as a swindle,
' this fact alone is not so unusual an in
cident n3 to make it specially note
worthy. Enterprising financiers, both
male and female, have before this in
our financial history terminated brill
iant careers in the vulgar reality of a
jail. But it is a matter of very pro
found interest that so many victims
should have been found, belonging, evi
dcntlyt to the so-called educated class
es, who could have been taken in by so
transparent a swindle as a promise to
pay eight per cent, a month. It stig-
gsts a profundity of ignorance con-
cerning the actual facts of business and
industry that is ghastly for the student
of sociology. Nor because the dupes
were generally women is its signifi
cance lessened jn any degree, it is
only a more brilliant success, as brill
iancy is measured in financial concerns,
than is constantly going on in railroad
management, as was recently exempli
fied in thc Reading and otherconccms.
It is not thc payment of interest taken
from new loans that makes an indus
trial enterprise successful, whether it
is a railroad or a woman's bank that
pursues this policy. Tho rate of in
terest paid is a small matter in consid
ering the common sense or thc morali
ty of such a course. And it shows quite
ns decidedly how mistaken tho business
world is concerning tho reality, that it
is only the disaster that comes inevita
bly from such a course, in a railroad
equally with a woman's bank, that puts
a stop to thc continuance of such a
financial career.
That such proceedings aro possible
shows the need there is for financial
education in all classes; for the prom
ises of such schemes arc as absurd as
ever those of the old alchemists to
transmute by some jugglery any cheap
material into gold were. And yet in
their day the alchemists found nlentv
of dupes. When it is remembered that
the average increase of wealth produced
by labor of all kinds tho only- real pro
ducer ot wealth there is is only about
three per cent., and tends rather below
than above this, it is evicUnt that any
scheme, whether it is a railroad, a
woman's bank, or any other financial
operation that promises to pay absurd
dividends, is as evidently tending to
failure as would be an attempt to raise
a crop upon a poor soil without the use
of any fertilizer. But yet. if we may
judge from the number of dupes which
schemes obtain that aro as manifestly
impossible as is a lottery to give prizes
to every one, the need of financial edu
cation is as great as it has ever been.
The spirit of greed and speculation,
which has been raised by the modern
activit' of life, is probably destined to
run its course; and promises, as alche
my, even b' its follies, prepared the
way for chemistry, to aid so much in
the financial education of the communi
ty, as to lead eventually to a recogni
tion of thc fact that no "one is entitled
to that ho does not earn. N. Y.

Pickling Children.
Ax English author, writing of Orient
al matters, among other curious Arab
practices, says: "A strange domestic
practice prevails among the Bedouins
not those in villages, but those of tho
wanderingclass. They pickle their in
fants, after three days old, in strong
brine. I learned that it was a habit
consecrated to them by a long antiqui
ty, and it is based upon the notion that
tnc process, which extents over several
hours, imparts a hardness to the tender

sin. inu iimuursum iwm iu ue m--
to delicate babies. Be the effect of the
pickling what it may, however, no la
bor is wasted on the children in the
way of washing them afterward. They
are suffered to grow up in utter ignor-
ance ot tne cieansinsr virtues ot water,
the superstition being that the Evil Eye
might be attracted to their cleanliness.
Accordingly, I have seen them with reg
ular crustsj thick deposits of dirt on
the tops of their heads, and their eyes
fuU of flies."
The phrase, " It takes nine tailors to
make a man," though used in con
tempt, has an origin that does honor to
the knights of the goose. In 1742 a
homeless orphan lad applied for assist
ance at a fashionable London tailor's
where nine journeymen were employed.
The boy's condition stirred the benevo
lence of the nine who each gave him
one shilling. With this slender capital
the youth started in the flint business,
and in time became very rich, and re
tired from trade. Then, fnstcad of

Red, brown and gendarme blue satin
petticoats have appeared for fall and
winter wearing.
Muffs to match hats promise to be
popular. The match is most successful
when tho articles are of dillerent gend
ers. Long pins of jet, shell, or gold, and
tiny Japanese fans every thing indeed
that is littlo and pretty are worn in

Large sleeves form the conspicuous
feature of the now cloaks this season,
fur-trimmed garments taking prece
dence in that respect.
Street costumes are now generally
made up with warm linings, to that a
supplementary wrap may be dispensed
with as long as possible.

The one wrap which is always in fash

is thc genuine India shawl, and for tho
woman who can afford to buy one it is
always a safe purchase.
A mammoth bow of very wido satin
ribbon is now worn on the left side just

A "lambrequin effect" is where a

A novel dress-effect, called a " bell
pull festoon," is one of the numerous
imitations of furniture effects now aimed
at in toilette. "It is'a bunch of folds re
sembling a bag-bell-pull, which, tipped
off with a tassel, hangs down nnder the
square flaps of tho short dolman front
of the wrap of that style, and makes
another front where these are of medium
length. This imitation of furniture,
which began with the cretonne and con
tinues with the cashmere, is found in
the " curtain effects," which resemble
the division where two sides of a cur
tain fall, and are then caught back by
tassels on each side. This is seen this
season in the lower portion or "siue

Thehe are some merchants who re
gard drummers as a nuisance, and re
fuse to talk to them, or if they say any
thing at all, it is only a request to look
at a conspicuously posted picture of a
man in a coffin, with the legend under
neath: "This man was talked to death
by a drummer." Rnt old Twopercent,
whose place of business is on Galveston
avenue, is not that kind of a merchant
prince. The other day a New York
drummer was passing his place of busi
ness, when he called him across the
street and asked to look at his samples.
The drummer could hardly believe his
senses. lie had never been treated that
way before in Texas. It was hardly a
minute before he had his samples spread
out in anticipation of a $5,000 order.
Old Twopercent got the very bottom
price of everything in his line, bnt when
the New York drummer asked him if
he didn't want to order some of the
goods, the reply was:
"Not mooch. You do not shuppose
dot is vot I called you in for?"
"What did you call me in for then?"
asked the drummer.

Hints on I'utrlNh Composition.
Thk great aim in writing is to tell as
much as possible in as few words as
possible. The age is nearly pat when
through love of the found of words peo
ple care nothing for the .euse.
There is a tendency in words to creep
in when they are not nccdeu. r.very
rank of tif teen or twenty Ls apt to con
tain one unnecessary idicr.
A good plan to find how many unnec
essary words can be kicked out of a sen
tence is to telegraph messages at ten
cents a word.
Some usu quotations with an ease and
confidence as if they had originated
them. It is well to remember that quo
tations are not your property.
Omit the remirk common at thecom
menccment of many letters, "Thinking
that some facts relative to the recent
beer barrel explosion in Ma.shville
might intercut your readers. I take tho
liberty of sending," etc. All unneces
sary and a waste of time, labor, paper,
pen, ink. type and space. If tho matter
you write is to interest any hotly it will
do so without your preface.
Avoid prefaces one-thinl or one-hall
as long as your article. Nobody builds
a hallway half a mile long to get into a
small house.
In long articles the same thing is gen
erally said two or three times.
It Is much more difficult to write a
short article than a long one. An old
editor speaks of "not having time to
write a short editorial." It is harder to
condense than to expand.
The words "but" or "yet" may in
many cases be substituted for tllat
lingual monstrosity "mA withstanding."
and the man who writes nevertheless
notwithstanding" is a wordi-maniac.
A steady practice of writing im
mediately after eating will probably re
sult in " confirmed dyspepsia. Tho
stomach must hare its "time to manu
facture and store up brain force-
The best efforts in composition are
generally realized when the body is in
its best physical condition. You can
not write well when yon are tired, and
writing on stimulants involves a heavy
discount on the morrow s strength
When vou imagine that you have
"just scribbled on something." if that
something- is really clever please re
member how much of your past life,
experience, study and observation it
has taken to produce it. The ripe fruit
which in autumn falls from the tree has
taken manv month to store up all its
richnes?. Trees don't just "scribble
off" apples.
Don t let yonr bravery in print go
ahead of your bravery in a personal
interview with the "subject of yonr
abuse.
Honor the foreman and the proof
reader. They can slaughter yon. and
hardly know how they do it themselves.

A woman at Presburg. Hungary, was
arrested for receiving stolen goods.
She was born a Jewess, but six months
before her arrest had been converted to
Christianity. Her defense was that she
was legally an infant aad not responsi
ble for her actions, as the Hungarian
law reckons one's birth from the date
of hi3 baptism. The court decided that
the defense was valid, aad released the
prisoner.
