OVERHEAD TILE 'BLACK FLAG, " Your tickeb, please." Away over in the east the firat faint red glow presagesthe coming dawn, Out in the maples theearly rising sparrows begin to twitter. But the hush of night is still upon the streets. As the official on the lauding at the head of the great stone steps holds high my pass to catch the rays of the dimly burning vestibule' lamp, the clock in the distant steeple strikesthe hour of four. All right; pass on." The huge door swings open to admit me and shuts behind me with a clang which reverberates along the wide corridor with its double row of grated theirs and bare sepulchral walls. There is no mis- taking the way ; there is but one way open to me. Far down, where the walls seem to coeverge, there is a light. I advance. Ugh 1 What a tomb -like struc- ture ! The echoes of my own footsteps strike on my ear like a knell. Ah ! At the light I turn abruptly to the left. There is an open door ahead, and through it I see in the imperfect light figures moving about. It is the jail yard. Early as I have come scores have preceded me hither. A seat ? No; I will look about me; I will see what is to he seen. Already a square of aeats made of planks resting on blocks is filling up, and even as I looked around, men continue to steal in guiltily and with the silence of shadows and take up their positions on the benches. • Tables, too Yes ; over in the corner there are four of them, and •on'• each a set of telegraph instruments — key, sounder and relay. And • there are the wires trellised over the wall fifteen feet above me. Just a pulse -beat from the world. Yes, and here are some of the operators. And those men gathered about the lamp, writing ? They are reporters, each busy over a notebook. And -- What is that tall, dark framework, dimly outlined against the north wall, and at which these men on the benches glance as they whisper to one another ? That is a gallows ! Ah 1 I have a curiosity to see a gallows. Wby should I hesitate ? Why should that creepy feeling come over me ? Tut, man ! it's but a piece of woodwork—a crude one at that ! I will see it. Yes, it is simple enough. Just two tall, strong uprights braced strongly ; a long crosspiece extend- ing over one end ; a rope hanging through a hole in the middle. But, see ! Look at that chain looped up high and held by a slender cord that passes down alongside the post ! See the murderous weight of iron at its end 1 And harming beside the cord see that long, thin -bladed, keen -edged chisel 1 This man beside me? Oh, yes ; he is the sheriff 1 I know him by his cocked hat and his official sword. I even withdraw myself from the contemplation of the gruesome in- strument of murder before me, long enough to indulge in a democratic sneer at the ridiculousness of the official toggery. Poor man ! Ile looks disgusted enough with the hat ; but he seems really afraid of the sword, But, then, how could the law be enforced if he did not wear them both ? The other man? No, I don't know him; but he's about as mean looking a s, ecimen as outraged nature ever bore since Judas— " Everything is ready, sir ; there'll be no bungling, sir." That's the hangman—the Men of Blood ! He's the sheriffs hireling ; but what a look of disgust and loathing bis employer gives him as he turns his back on him and enters the corridor again—as if his very presence in the yard polluted the air ! Why do these amen on the benches curse the Man of Blood as he carefully examines his machine? Why blame him ? He is only the hand of Society which for a few miserable dollars strangles their fellow -man to death at their command, What a huge satire it all is 1 The hours pass ; the crowd increases ; the telegraph ' instruments click on ; the distant clock strikes seven. Hark ! Voices are heard in the corridor. All eyes are on the:door. Here they come ! First the sheriff, his three -cornered hat in his band ; then the bare -headed, surpliced priest, who as he steps from the stone door -sill upon the greensward raises his voice to be heard of all : " I am the resurrection, and the life ; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yetshall he live." I hear no more. Behind hien comes the Victim, bareheaded, his arms pinioned by his aides, pale but firm, walking between two warders with tear -streaming faces. And behind comes the Man of Blood. No waiting now. Time is short ; the steps are few. The priest reads on. The warders kiss the victim and step aside. The Man of Blood straps the Victim's legs together. He slips over his head that snaky coil. Has he anything to say ? Nothing ! Never again shall he gaze on the bright sun just peeping ovor the eastern wall. His last look has been cut off by the ugly black cap drawn over his head, down to his chin, by the Man of Blood. And thepriestprays on. It is the Lord's Prayer he is repeating now. What ! "Forgive us our tres- passes as we forgive those who trespass against us"? What mockery 1 How does Society forgive the poor wretch who has trespassed against it ? Strangles him to death. Aye, and as if it would fain follow him after death with its vengeance, it puts fancied indignities upon his poor, inanimate body ! " As we forgive those who trespass against its " indeed 1 Ah !

MASQII>,TT15, 'ROMANCE OE THE STREET.. A. Young Couple Who Successfully Blended Love and Business. .A. little ovor ten years ago a quiet young man of 18or19 was engaged by a Wall street firm of brokers as a clerk. One day the office boy became ill, and this clerk generously volunteered to take a message to another office for him. In that other office was a pretty typewriter, in petti- coats. They became interested in each other immediately. Her employers were three of the biggest speculators in the street. They thought nothing of dealing in 50,000 or 100,000 shares a day, They had branch offices uptown, and in Baltimore, Chicago, Boston, London and Paris. The typewriter was also a telegrapher, and all telegraph orders she filled. She knew just what stocks to go long and short of. So did this quiet young clerk, after a while. Whenever that firm went long of Wabash, Lake Shore, New York Central, Topeka, St. Paul or Manhattan, the clerk would take a flyer in that stock in the bucket shops, In a little while he had enough money to buy stock in the Stock Exchange. Whenever his girl's firm sold stocks lie was carrying, he immediately got from under, too. When they bought 5,000 or 10,000 shares of any stock, ho bought from 100 to .1,000 shares. In no time he -was' worth $10,000. In less than that ho was worth $50,000. Then he stopped making money long enough to marry the girl, and then, keeping the marriage secret from that firm, he pile 1 up considerably over $500,000. All the time he worked as a clerk for $12 a week. He never lost his head. He never paraded his wealth in fine raiment and gen- erous jewels, but went right on until he had built one of the finest mansions in the suburbs of New Jersey, to which he escorted his Little Blessing. He is now telephoning his orders to his brokers from that mansion and taking life as easy ae it took him. -117. Y. Advertiser A Letter from the Late Cardinal Simeoni.

It's a go as far as I sin concerned. My yoking dad seems to be tickled half to death and his breath smells of beer. When he heard I was a boy he went out 'back of the house and jumped on his hat for loy. If I don't make him jump for some other cause before I get ovor this redness of complexion then you may play marbles on my bald head ? Second week—Nurse is here yet and I'm on my good behavior. She looks to me like a woman who wouldn't take much sass off a youngster, and I don't want a row until my muscle works up a little more. Several parties in to see ire, and I bad to listen to the unusual congratulations. Some talk of bringing me up on a bottle, but I'll have something to say about that later on. I'm laying low and taking things easy. Dad is stili walking around with a grin on his face, and there was a smell of gin cocktail in the room last night. When he remarked that I was just the quietestand most good-natured baby in all New York I came near giving myself dead away. There's a surprise in store for that hayseed, and it'll hit him like a load of brick. Third week—Everything se -so. Nurse goes Saturday night. She brags about what a little darling I am, but she's talking for wages. I'm quite sure she mistrusts me. People keep coming in to paw me over and look at my •feet. The general verdict is ahern 1 that I'm just the euteat, handsomest young'un ever born, That's all, bosh, how- ever, and I'm not at all stuck on my shape. They allowed dad to carry me around for a few minutes last evening and you'd a -thought he owned the earth. He said he could walk with me for a week and I just gurgled. He'll drop to something before he is a week older. I haven't said much thus far, but I've done a heap o' thinking just the sante. I don't propose to take advan- tage of the baby act much longer. Had a row with the nurse and had to give in. Beaten but not conquered. Fourth week : I told you I'd do it and I did ! The night after the nurse left I took up that unfinished business with dad and along about 2 o'clock in the morning he was the sickest man you ever saw. I didn't want to kill him in one night and so saved some of him over for the next. Colic, you know. All babies have it and I wasn't going to be left out. Kicks, squirms, wriggles, yells, with dad trotting up and down until be finally shook his fist under my nose and hoped I'd die. Then I iet up a little, but I've got a lot, more colic saved up. The happy grin has quite vanished front his face and they say he has lost five pounds. That's all right. I propose to take a hand iu from this time on. If the old man gets.out tolodge or a checker party again this winter you just ask me how it happened. I'm keeping the run of things under the proper dates and now and then I'll dish you up half a column or so, and let you know who's running the house. Dad may go any day next week, but as for me I've come to stay.—M Quad in World. To Business Men and Commercial Travel- lers. The Travellers' Circle of Canada wish to call your attention to the system of treating and being treated to intoxicating liquors when transacting business. We are pleased to note that this custom is now by many entirely avoided ; yet some are led to con- tinue it, perhaps fearing that to discontinue a practice they have followed for some time might affect the success of their business. We believe no merchant will allow himself to be biased in the placing of an order by a treat from the traveller who visits him ; but we feel the practice in the past has sometimes been adopted in the hope of so influencing the customer, and some travel- lers who have practiced it have been gradu- ally led into the use of intoxicants to such an extent as to injure themselves, while iu some cases it has resulted in the loss of their situations and suffering to their families. In these days of keen competition a travel- ler sometimes finds his sales not equal to his anticipation, a spirit of despondency is apt to take possession of him, and if he is susceptible to the influence of alcohol, has taken some with his customers during the day, he is likely to indulge further at night when he meets his fellow travellers, after his customers have gone home. We ask retail merchants to give this matter their careful consideration, remembering that many of these young men have come from homes where parents, sisters and brothers are anxious abort their welfare, or perhaps a young wife who has confided her all in him, has high Tropes of his success on the road, trusting he may soon secure promo- tion or establish a'busiaess for himself, and continue for her a comfortable and happy home. Kindly abstain from being a party to any course which, if indulged in, will wreck all these high hopes, and leave the victim a nuisance to society. It is indi- viduaI effort that counts, and every man should recognize that he has a responsibility on this. question. Signed on behalf of 'the Commercial Travellers',Circle of Canada, R. M.

Some weeks ago we gave a description and illustration of a horse with phenomenal growth of the hair of the mane and tail, the rest of his coat being quite normal, • In the present issue we give an example of the op- posite extreme, from a life study of the curious animal portrayed. This is a horse absolutely destitute of hair. Neither neck nor tail nor any part of the body shows the least hirsute growth. The texture of the skin is silky and smooth the color is almost a full black. The animal is of rather heavy type, and with his delicate surface does not produce any unpleasant impression. There are said to be two such horses known to exist in the country. One of them was foaled in the west ; the other is credited to Australia. The akin in one of these animals is affected curiously, the perspiratory func- tion seeming to be absent. The horse does not sweat when exercised, and the mouth or nose seems to provide the escape for what would otherwise be true skin perspiration. —Scientific American. • The Boons of the Young Man. One-eighth of the population may be put in this category—that is, that there are 7,500,000. young men in America. Only 15 in every 100 go regularly to church. Out of each 100 some 75 never go. Only 5 per cent. of the total number are Christians, viz., 375,000. In our jails there are 150,000 prisoners, 70 per cent. of 'whom are young men, Only one-fifth of the active criminals are ever; in Jail at any one time. This would make our criminal population number 750,- 000, of -which total 500,000 are young men ! These are appalling statistics.—St. Lords Republic. Gilbert's "Opbelia.' In "The Mountebanks," W. S.

Here is the song : • Ophelia was a dainty little maid Who loved a very melancholy Dane, Whose affection of the heart was, itis said, Preceded by affection of the brain. Whp was born to the crown, Ile thought lightly of her passion, Having wandered up and down In an incoherent fashion When she found he wouldn't wed her, In the river, in the meaddor, Took a header, and a deader Was Ophelia.
