' Barney Has a Boy.
Wahoo , Nebraska , October 12th , 1897. On
hearing that on the 7th of October , 1897 , a
young son had come to brighten the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Barney Lewis of McCook , Neb.
The world has never used me square ,
I've had more woe than weal ;
Folks laugh because I'm lean and spare ,
And run down at the heal.
And as I walk along the street.
And in the shops , alas !
The railroad men and boys 1 meet
All guy me as I pass.
Now as I am a married man ,
I have little cause for joy ;
But I was tickled when 1 heard
Someone say , "It is a boy. "
The world is very changed of late ,
Nature has a smile for all ,
The happy hours go dancing by ,
The leaves sing as they fall.
My hat will scarcely fit my head ,
My trousers are too short ;
And some of the boys say 'on the dead'
I'm becoming quite a 'sport. '
Now this is very wrong , my friends ;
But you do not see the fun ;
The reason why I laugh so loud
Is , "Barney has a son. "
The say my air is dignified ,
And just a trifle gay ;
But do not blame me for my pride ,
I can not help my way.
It's just the old Virginia sign
That we have honor won.
And Lewis feels quite famous now
Because he has a son.
Why the very engine seems to feel
This joy so wholly mine ,
For in response to my slightest touch
It goes dancing down the line.
And as we return to our little town ,
After a hard day's run ,
The bell and whistle seem to say ,
"B. Lewis has a son. "
Some say the "kid" looks like his dad ,
Some think the other way ;
But one thing is sure and that's not bad ,
He's here and come to stay.
And now the nights are growing cold ,
And as I walk the floor
And hold that baby in my arms ,
I love him more and more.
So friends and fellow railroad men
Smde with me in my joy ,
And let your congenial spirits say ,
"God bless his little boy. "
Grant a Natural Bushwhacker.
After looking critically at a map of a
locality it seemed to become photograph
ed indelibly upon his brain and he conld
follow its features without referring to
it again. Besides , he possessed an al
most intuitive knowledge of topography
and never became confused as to the
points of the compass. He was a natural
"bushwhacker , " and was never so much
at home as when finding hia way by
the course of streams , the contour of
the hills , and the general features of the
country. I asked him one day whether
he had ever been deceived as to the
points of the compass. He said : "Only
once when I arrived at Oairo , Ills.
The effect of that curious bend in the
river turned mo completely around , and
when the sun came np the first morn
ing after I got there it seemed to me
that it rose directly in the west. "

Moonlight and Sunlight Compared.
. The brightness of the moon is not bo
much greater than the same area of the
sky , as is shown by Plammarion'a "ta
bles of relative amount of light. " The
total light of the full moon is compared
with the total light of the sun by M.
Flammarion , but in away that it would
be a very hard task to reproduce it in
a readable shape in an article adapted
to this department. However , we will
Eay that the great astronomer's deduc
tions prove that we received as much
light from the sun as conld be emitted

A Philadelphia Mustache.
• "I've seen some peculiar whiskers in
my day , " remarked a Ninth street bar
ber yesterday , "but there was a fellow
in here the other day who simply beat
the. deck for mustaches. They were of
the long , flowing kind , and when in re
pose hung gracefully down over his
shirt front. After I had finished shaving
him he asked me to dress his mustache ,
giving me my instructions how to do it.
First , I gave it a brilliantine bath and
combe 'd it out. Then I waxed iG until
the points stood out on each side of his
face like bayonets. Ho seemed very
proud of it and didn't object when I
asked him if I might measure it. In
fact , he seemed rather pleased. I took
a tapeline and found that from tip to
tip that marvelous mustache measured
a trifle over 23 inches. He next asked
me to curl it. This was a difficult oper
ation , but after exhausting several curl
ing irons I succeeded in heating a sec
tion of gas pipe to the proper tempera
ture and finished the job. " Philadel

The first manufactory of edged tools ,
including axes , hatchets , chisels and
cutlery , was opened in Hartford , in the
year 1826. % Previous to that date it is
said that coarse butcher knives and
hunting knives were made by black
smiths , and the better quality of cutlery
Was imported from England.
