Twelve Sets ot Twins.

| Seme years ago a storekeeper
in Weedsport, N. Y., was aston-—
ished at a most singular sigkt in
the strest in front.of the store. A
large wagor drawn by a horse
and an ox had halted there, ana
clustered about the vehicle were
24 childre,a—all boys. In the!
wagon was the mother, and by the
animal steod the father, who ex—
plained tothe astonished store-
keeper that they were on their
way from Connecticat to Indiana,
and were having a tamily mov-
ing.

“Is this your family ?” asked
the merchant.

“Yes,” answered the man.
“twenty four boys, twelve sets of
twins, and we have noe children
dead. At night what can’t get
into the wagon, bunk under it on
the ground. We are all here,
stranger.

The merehant was so pleased
at the sight that he formed the
boys inte line and presented each
with a straw hat.— Harrisburg

Talk of Putting Fourth.Class Pest-
masters Under Civil Service.

 

President Cleveland has in con
templation an order placing all
the fourth-class post-offices under
the protection of the civil service
law. There were on Jaly 1 of
the present year 70,064 postmas-
ters in the United States, of
which number 66,560 were in the
fourtr-class list, and will be pro—
tected by the proposed extension
of the civil seryice rules. The
peculiar character of the service
will make it necessary to devise
special rules for the appointmen:
of these pustmasters, and the
President, the officials of the
Postofice Department and the
Civil Service Commissioners have
had the matter under considera~
tion for some time.

 

One peculiarty of the Hoosac
tunnel, four and a half miles long
gear North Adams, Mass., is that
no telegraphic message can be
sent through it. They all get iost
although the attempt kas been
frequentiy made and with all
kinds of wires. Electricians are
puzzied over it, as they have

Sloct ma tonight wheed Sie pees
Wave over the the rushing stream,

And the scent of the sackie

And the rosex swoon by the iiiice white,
Where the palms are rustling the date beside,
And the lemons are gold in the silver light.

By the cypress wall wherc the pepper bends.
The eucalyptus will say, ‘‘It is late,
But love is coming to you, sweet friends.”’

And down the walk in the moonlight giow,
As it filters its arrowy glints to me,

We will talk of the love of the long ago,
By the murmuring waves of the sunset sea.

Meet me tonight and your heart shall thrill
In the rapturous calm with s tender spell.
You ask my svuul for ita answer still,
I will give it tonight if you meet me, Will

The way has been long and I missed you so,
I need you sv, as I hope and wait.

But will it be ‘‘yes’’ or will it be no “no?”
I wiil tell you tonight by the garden gate. -

We will look at the rocks, at the sandy sweep,
How it glistens and moves at the waves’ ca-

ress,
At the bridge of moonbeams over the deep,
Will I tell you ‘‘no,’’ will I tell you “‘yes?”’

Your eyes will shine as they bend to mine,
And your voice, as the waters, will plead

with me,

But you never can know till I tell you so,
What the quivering cry of my soul will be,
Vill together we stand by the sunset sea.

Colorado Moose.

A curious physical formation
which has separated animal life
from the possible approach of man
is one of the Flat Top mountains in
Garfield county. This mountain
stands up like a gigantic cube. On
one side is perceptible the places
where the connecting link with its
broad and level summit was centu-
riesago. Marks of a hog back, which
once ran out and down to the other
mountains, can be plainly seen.
From vantage points some miles
away fieldglasses will disciose ona
clear day moving animals on the
great mesa. ‘(u0se wo have been
there prouounce them as beyond
doubt species of the moose, bearing
the flat, broud hurns and having the
sbambling actions of these animals,
now unknown to tle gume seekers
in this section of tne United States.
The animals on the top of this mesa
are extremely suy of hunters, and
two or three schemes have been
tried to capture them, but always
failed.

Several parties of Indian hunters
who make the Book plateau their
hunting grounds have attempted to
climb the rugged. steep that leads to
the top, and one Indian who suc.
ceeded in scaling it for 40 or 50 feet
was killed by falling from his perch.
‘The Indians describe the animals as
strongly resembling the moose, al-
though of larger irame and antlers.
A party of scientific tourists who

with the aid of a glass could give
no logical reason fur tue presence of
the remarkable tenants between land
and sky. A thin stream of wate
trickles down one side of the plateau;
and gives evidence that the animals
have water as well as food. ee

The Most Crowded Spot en Earth.

The most crowded spot on: the
earth’s surface is that portion of the
city of Valetta, island of Malta,
known as the “Manderaggio.’’ In
the wholé of Valetta the proportion
is 75,000 human beings to the square
mile, but in the Manderaggio there
is one locality in which there are
2,574. persons living on a plot of
ground less than two acres and a
half in extent. This would give 80) jection
less than 636,000 to the
square mile, or 1,017.6 to the acre.
In Liverpool, the most crowded city
in Britain, the most densely popu-
lated portions have only 116.4 to the}:
acre.—St. Louis se public.

 

 

A Ready Answer. ‘
The editor of the Public Men of
Today Series when a little boy at
Uppingham was detecked at a Greek
Testament lesson with a Bible on
his knee, from which, of course, he
was cribbing. His class master stalk-
eduptohim. ‘‘What have you there,
my boy?’’ The boy, seeing that no
escape was possible, brazened it out
with, ‘‘A book, sir, of which no one
need be ashamed.”’

A good drink for persons troubled
with prickly heat is made by pour-
ing a pint of boiling water on two
teaspoonfuls of cream tartar and
adding sugar to suit the taste. If
this agrees with the system, drink
frequently of it.

Most of the bookkeepers and cash-
iers employed in Japanese business
houses are Chinamen, who are giv-
en the prefcrence for such positions
because of their honesty.

I dislike an eye that twinkies like
a star. “Those only are beautiful

bent light, are luminous, not spar

The Story of a Rose.

Only a rose!

It lay between the faded pages of
an old book.

A man, beholding it, looked down
the distance and the dark, dreaming
of the past years.

A woman paused, and bendix:
over it pressed with quivering lips
its crumbling petals.

Only a rose! °

tling the silence:

- Off on a Hunt,

There was a jolly crowd that
weut down to Ayden, Friday right
to engageina bighunt. The par-
ty consisted of G. P. Fleming,
Ola Forbes, R. Hyman, Earnest
Forbes, Alf. Forbes. R. W. Cren-
shaw, R. M. Moye and Lit Mad-
dux. They foun it “a night mort
opportune to cateh the *possuni
and the coon,” and they brought
| back with them cne ’*possum and)

‘|31x coons. The boys say they never

had a bigger time. The best fan
of the tr'p was had at tue expense
of Lit Maddux. He was strutting
along pretty lively in advance of
the crowd when he suddenly
droped out of sight and raised a
cry for help from down “in a
hole.” The boys gathered around
and found him floundering about
in a 10 feet marl hole. Maddux
was just “out of sight” aud the
only way they could locate him
was by the light of bis cigar
which he never lost in the -falt.
He was fished outand though
pretty wet contined the hunt.

Why. Vermont is Not Democratic.

A young preacher, the pastor
of the _vongregational church at
Vermont, is abvut to
loose his salary because he voted
for Mr. Cleveland in 1892. He
was not then liviug at Hart ford,
and only a few days ago the ricb-
est member of his church asked
