A Boston physician was called out o a sound slumber the other night to an swer the telephone. "Hullo 9 What is it ?" he asked, lit- tle pleased at the idea of leaving hi comfortable bed. " Baby is crying, doctor ; what shal I do?" came across the wires. " Oh ! perhaps it's a pin," suggester the doctor, recognizing the voice of young mother, one of his patients. "No," came the reply; "I'm sure i can't be that." '' Perlia-ps he has the colic," returne the doctor, with well simulated selici tude. "No, I don't think so," replied th anxious mother; " he doesn't act in Mt way." " Then perhaps he's hungry," said th doctor, as a last resort. " Oh ! I'll see," came across the wires. then all was still. The doctor Wren back to bed, and was soon fast aslee again. About half an hour afterwart he was again awakened by a violen ringing of his telephone bell. Jumpinr out of bed, and placing the receiver tc his ear, he was cheered by the followin n Lessage : " You were right doctor; baby wa hungry." - - Saved by Kindness. . John Roach, the famous ship -builder believes in the law of kindness in deal ing with erring men. Out of the twen • ty-five thousand meo employed by Ith first and last, there were seventy fouxu guilty of .criminal eonduct. He _save sixty of them. This is his stor of the way he reformed a " con- firmed drunkard." . The man was " master workman." " He had terrible sprees, and ha them pretty often. He would coal raving into the shops, disgracing him- self and disgusting everybody. W he ober he was penitent, and I forgaa, hira and took him back again and again. I appealed to him tilt there Seemed to b. nothing left to appeal to. One mornin he came in after oneof his sprees an said : Mr. Roach, I want you to di.s- clutree maa N.:ou can't make anythin of me. 1 have•hroketi luy promise an abused your trust over and over.

He promised solemnly that he would. He stayed in my employ for years, and was never drunk again.' • , A City Incident. Two or three years ago, one hot Sun- day afternoon, a gentleman was walking with his wife, who was aneinvalid„ in the great park which stretches for six- teen miles along the shores of a beauti- ful river just outeide of Philadelphia.. They were comfortable, middle-aged people, long past the period of romance. 13ut.they were childless, and as is often the case, their hearts were tender with keen sympathies, and they gave to the poor aid hurt of God's creatures the love which they had never been per- mitted to spend upon a child of their Own. As they, passed.. through the thick woods and cool grassy slope's by the river, Mr. Severns carelessly spoke of the tens of thousands of poor peoPle shut up in stifliog cellars and alleys, and wondered why they did not come out, as the Saviour did, to "walk in the fields on the Sabbath day." His wife did not answer, but seemed lost in thought. Presently she said: "Music would bring them !---saered music. If there could be an orehestra, here every Sunday afternoon, a good orchestra, that would play the old, fa- miliar hymn -tunes, which carry every- body's soul up to God, how much good it might do !" • Her husband looked at her, and saw that her eyes were full of tears. "It shall be done, wife !" he said. • I hope it will be done soon," she said. "1 should like to hear it—once, before I go." The next morning Mr. Severns headed a subscription for the amount required. The best orchestra in the city was en- gaged, and on the next clear Sunday afternoon was stationed in one of the most beautiful glades of_ the park. An hour before the time appointed crowds began to pour out from the city; men and women; old, bent creatures on erutches ; children and babies in their mother's arms; die poor, the ragged, many of them bloa,ted from drink; the very guests whom the Lord bade us find in the highways and byways,- and com- pel to come in to His feast. There were many thousands,- more than any church would have held, and of a class who, conducted as many of our churches are now,will not enter their doors. 1 1 • At first there was cdfrfusion, but when the first notes of the solemn music Were heard, the vast audience sat down on the grass and listened in reverend sil- ence. • The dusky aisles of trees, the quiet, bright river, the blue sky overhead, and the straihs which brought some old sacred memory to almost every heart, stilled and awed them. "Old Hundred " was played, "Jesus, Saviour of my Soul," and then "Near- er my God, to Thee." A woman, an old feeble black woman, began to .sing the words, in a trembling voice. Another and another joined, and then, with one impulse, the whole mighty audience saw,. together. The sound rose like roiling°thunder towards heaven. There were tears on many a hard face that day. The woman who had planned this good work was not there. She had been laid in her grave the day before. But is it too much to hope that in her happy home she was, permitted to hear that hymn? , The California Dried Fruit Crop. It is but a few years since California fruits of any description were an exceed- ingly rade article in our markets, while now the sale of carloads does not excite much comment. The development of the California fruit industry has practi- cally occurred within the last ten years. California gfeen fruit is shipped by the carload to the western cities, and oc- casional lots of it go as far east as Bos- ton. There is room for great develop- ment in this green fruit business, as with the adoption of careful methods of packing and with low freights, there is no reason why the California fruit pro- ducers cannot lay down their fruit in the western or eastern markets in successful competition with foreign fruit. The quality of some of the California, fruit is not so good as that of Some classes of foreign fruit, but this ,is prob- ably mainly due to lack of the years of cultivation necessary for the .fullest de- velopment. That this is probably the case may be seen from the fact that the Florida oranges, which, when they first came upon -the mark -et about ten.years ago, were inferior in quality to the foreign fruit, are nowthe best oranges in the market. California fruits are best known in the eastern markets in their dried form, and they hold a de- servedly high place. There has been a steady improvement in them in many ways during the past five years. The quality of the fruit has Improved, but the greatest change has been in the packing. and I first:goes to a timer on -Wylie avenue, named Schaefer, and 1, gets him to make me a rouhd, air -tight tin, just like a big tomato can. I didn't tell him what I wantei it for, but goes to an- other tuner and gets him to make me a couple of tin pipes." . "What did you go to the second tin- ner for ?" "Why, you. see, I was afraid he might find out what I was doing. When I got "these pipes I got some more, and then one night, when the folks at home goes to bed, I -just put them pipes WO things together, and I emptied a tub of water with it in one minute, and I tell you that made me shiver more'n it did when I drawed it out on the stone. Then- I went and got an axe, and I chopped that there pump into little bits, because I didn't want anyone else to know what I was doing. I went on saving up enough. I told a man named Reilly, whose boots I used to shine, that 1 want- ed him -to get me a patent. Why, says he to me, It will cost money, I just told himl had it, an' I gave him $42, and he got me a patent. I tell you it was a mighty pretty thing, with a great red seal an pretty ribbons on it, and then I knows I was all right." Your correspondent furnished Jimmy with pencil and -paper, with which he furnished an illustration of his inven- tion, displaying it wonderful mechanical knowledge. Jimmy's parentage is un- known. When a.wee boy he was found in the Alleghany parks, and was -adopt- ed by -a Mrs. Armstrong. IMPORTANT NOTICES. A. HOUSE TO LET.J—A Brick House and 1-X_ Stable --in Hayfield to let on easy terms.

Ira Sampson, his'wife and eight chil- dren, all bound from Maine to Califor-. nia.—this was a party I saw in the Maine Central train one morning this week. Mr. Sampson was eating a doughnut, -two of his children Were eating oranges, two others had hands full of peanuts, the oldest boy wasinhausting tobacco. in the smoking -car, -while the baby was , crying and Mrs. Sampson Was adminis- tering comiert to hint. It was an un- usual •spectacle, and when the other passengers ascertained that this long journey had been undertaken by. Mr. and Mrs, Sampson, with such a brood, they were a magnet for all eyes and all hearts. There were two little girls of 10 and 12 yearsain new straw pokes decorated with red ribbons, just alike. There were two more little girls of about 8 years, twins, with blue eyes and sweetly turned -up noses and black straw hats trimmed with blue, all just alike— eyes, noses, hats and ribbons. There must have been a mark of some 'kind to distinguish those twins from each other, but I could not see it.- Then there were two little boys of 6 or 7 years in pretty, new knickerbocker suits and nobby round hats about as big as the buttons worn by the Great Panjandrum. At one 'end of the line was the strong and brown young man of 23, six feet in height and a stout esquire for his father and mother in the fight before them. At the other end was that red bundle in Mrs. Sampson's arms ) the baby, in its red Mother -.Hubbard gown and red tur- ban, with its red protuding cheeks, red lips—and red fire flashing from its troubled eyes. Mr. Sampson is a good- natured, hard,- working and calloused farmer from Turner. He told me he had sold his farm for $2,200-100 acres of land and a nice set of buildings for that price !—and was on his way to Los Angelos; he did not know what he Might do after ' his arrival, but would look around and buy some land if he could ; he had once visited California, and liked the climate better than that of Maine; it would cost about $500 to get his family and household goods out there; five of • the children went free, on account of their youth. "Those two little girls are twins," said Mr. Samp- son, indicating them With his finger, "and those two little boys come so near it that I'm agoing to call 'em twins, al- though they're a year apart. That wo- man.there, my wife, has had eleven children. One of them is dead, and we've left two behind. Doesn't look it, • does she? Yes, she rather hated to leave the old place, but was willing to do what's best. The neighbors didn't do just the right thing. They took on too much." Mrs. Sampson had pro- .vieled about three bushels of provisions, packed in baskets and boxes. Every- body in the car marveled at her -fresh, young face. She did not look more than 40.—Lewiston, Maine, Journal. -Lucky Jimmy Costello: Jimmy Costello, a fourteen year old bootblack ewith light hair and blue eyes, whose field of labor is the lobby of the Monongahela House, has invented a pump which combines the vacuum and siphon principles, and has sold it to a Washington man named Moorehead. Jimmy wanted $:30,000, and the Wash- ington man offered $25,000. They com- promised on $28,000. A guardian has been appointed for Jimmy, and he will retire from shining and live on the in- terest of his money. Jimmy told this story to the Boston t:lobe correspondent. Re said : " One day last summer I was down on the wharf here, and I see some men pump- ing water out of a barge. I thought it took them an awful long time to pump that water out, and I got to thinking. By and by I thought I eould make a pump, and -drew on a stone what I thought. I tell you, mister, when I looked at it I shivered, and the more I looked the more I shivered, as I knew I could pump out that water better than those men could.

We never ought to envy a recipient. Pity the boy 'who never had anything that he earned! 'Tis a great disadvantage for a lad to have started out in life on it capital stock of gifts. that which costs nothing is lightly held. It is a sign of great 'genius for a boy born to readyrnade privileges to amount to anything. To be helpless, and to have done int' seri-help all that one can, is to deserve pity and to receive bene- factions. The world owes no man a living save him who has done his best to get one. He is 110 beggar who receives what he intended to earn but for misfor- tune un foreseen. He who most deserves help' often is helpless. But even the most helpless must be helped with judg- ment and unto judgment. Sometimes the thing a man most wants somebody to do for him is the thing which, if he did but know it, he might do for him- self.. The best help is to show a man how to help himself. If you already have an angel to get your slippers_ and dressing gown, please give the angel no more chores. She is probably over- worked already. Some husbands are spoilt, and some wives possibly (I add the ,last clause with fear and trembling), because of too much help. Helplessness is bred by being helped. Just enough help for help, but not enough for paraly- sis of generosity and self-help, is the golden mean. • —The cut of logs on Androscoggin waters in Maine the past winter is some- thing above 60,000,000 feet. Of this amount about 50,000,000 feet, will pro- bably reach market the present season. —Prof.Bell, inventor of the telephone, was one of the witnesses before the Pan -Electric Investigating Committee at Washington the other day. The Pro- fessor, it will be remembered, married a deaf and dumb lady, and he told the committee that he had so much faith M her business ability that he had handed her over the whole of his stock in the monopoly except one share. The value of the stock held by Mrs. Bell, he said, Was ten million dollars. This is a great deal of money to make out of an inven- tion that has only been turned to ac- count for the short :period of ten years. .F011, SALE. .

There are only tw from which spectacle lenses can be inaunfaetured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by a name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, its from Nature's own manufacto 11 in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and natural cry and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately lover the centre of the grain found in all pebble.
