I have just returned from an evening at the play, or rather from visitiug my friends the Robinson's, which is much the some thing, if you don't mind my pipe, I will picture you the drama. Robinson, an amiable Juan except when his shoe -lace breaks, eat alone and glurn is the study. His teeth were clinched, his face was pale, and ho stared hart st the fire. He welcomed me with an effort, and then forgot me. He is a business man, and lam not ; so I concluded thot etock3 or debentures had fallen or risen (or whatever it is these things do to plcnge those whoknow what they are in despair). I tried the drawing -rooms, and there found the two little girls crying, and Mrs. Rsbinson on tha couch with her face to the wall. This was serious, aud seemed to me to mean, at least, a "corner" in stocks. It. was not stocks, however, my hostess told me from behind a hand- kerchief, it was Bobby. Had not her husband shown me "the let- ter"? Bobby is the heir, aged seven, and I concluded from hie another's tragic tones that he had run off to be a pirate or an engine -driver, leaving a written stitemeut to that effect on bis dressing -table. I softly wthdrew "from the drawing-roorn, and returned to Robinson, who, with trembling arm, handed mo "the letter." It was from the pm - ter of a school to which Bobby goes by train daily, except during the birdnesting season, when otner mat- ters claim his attention. The letter read thus : "DEAR Stn,—I regret to have to apprise your of the fact that I had to day to cane your son severely. Ho is the youngest boy I ever caned, but his delinquencies have of late been so frequent that no other course was open to me. This com- munication will doubtless cause you pain, but the punishment will have a beneficial effect not only on him, but on the other boys of his age whose loader in mischief he has been. They will uo longer make a hero of one whom they have seen publicly chastised. The disgrace of the punishment, indeed, is greater than the punishment itself. That Robert may feel his shame more . keenly I have read this letter to him, and ho shall be the bearer of it to you.'' "And where is Bobby at present 1" I asked, when I had road this let- ter. "Crying his eyes out in the nursery, no doubt," answered Rob- insou. "Of course I should have him here, but I can't face him—I can't face him -1 can't face Lim. I don't blame his master, but—My dear friend, think of it ! The marks won't tvear off his hands for a week, and think of his agony of mind every time he looks at them 1 'Bobby is a sensitive boy, otherwise I should not take it so much to heart," "Why not bring him here," I said, "and tell him that if he turns over a now leaf all will be forgot- ten 1" "Forgotten 1 How can I expect him to believe that 1 I know that if I had ever been caned in my school -days I could not have got ever the shame for years.

If they began to brag, Bobby stopped them short with. "That isn't nothing; you didn't never get caned." "Yes, I did, though," insisted one. - "Let me see your hand,' retorted Bobby. "Oh ho ! he won't; and 'cause there's not no marks an it." "Let us see your hands again, Bobby." Bobby held out his hands as proudly as if they contained a dia- auond. "By gum ! I say, Bobby, come and play with me to -morrow." "Let me walk beside you, Bobby; and I'll give yon my crossbow. It's broke, but—" "Bobby, I'm the one you like best, ain't I?" "I'm the youngest he ever lick- ed !" cried Bobby, in a transport of delight. He began to strut up and down the stable. "Weil, then, you needn't bounce about like that." "So would you bounce if it had been you." "I'll be caned to -morrow." "So will I, and then I'll be as good as Bobby." "No, you won't," thundered Bob- by. "Though you was all caned twelve times twelve is a hundred and forty-four, I would always be the first, I would. I'm the youngest he ever caned ." "But, Bobby—" "Look here, you chaps," broke in the hero of the day, "I amn't not to be called Bobby any more. You'll have to call me Robinson now. He called me Robinson when he caned ine." "Gnm !" "And, what's more, I'm the youngest he ever—" . The other Robinson here retired with a hopeless loop on his face. Mrs. Robinson seemed less humbl- ed. I came home reflecting.—J.M.

They never in any case do so, and for the beat of rea- sons. The wholesale tiade of the coun- try have a distributing machinery which handles the "Myrtle Navy" without any addition to its permanent expenses. If the manufacturers were to undertake that work, as they would by selling to the retail trade, it would require an in- dependent machinery, the whole coat of which would have to be borne by the proceeds of the tobacco sale., and of course it would fall upon the consumer. Selling to the wholeaale trade alone ie, therefire, for the consumer's benefit, and is a convenience to the retail trade, be- cause every traveller who calls—in the grocery line—can take orders for"Myrtle Navy." —Rain has only fallen twice in twenty-nine years in Aden, Arabia.

A Supreme Court Yarn.§ Speaking of graveyarda reminds the of a story which Justice Harlan, of the Su- preme Court, has been telling, but whether it is a personal experience of his own, or, as he gives it, that of a Judge in Ken- tucky, I do not know. Tho iocident oc- curred in a Kentucky court room, where the Judge on the bench at the time was -the soul of dignity and pomposity. An 'Lash - man had been arrested for assault, and his language during the trial was such that the Judge fined Hint 810 for contempt of court. The Irishman pulled out $10 and handed it to the Judge. The Jude re- fused to take it, and said that the Court did not accept money, and that, he must give it to the sheriff or clerk. He did this, and as the sheriff took it. he said : "But, Your Honor, I must have a re - sate," "But you can't have a receipt. The Court never gives receipts. You will not be asked for the money again and the books of the Court will be a receipt. What more do you want ?" "Why, you see, Your Honor, I'ma good Catholic and I expect to go to heaven, and when I come to the gate I will find St. Peter there with his keys to let me in or keep me out. And St. I'eter will say, `Yat, are you fit for heaven?' And I will say, 'Yes, Your Honor.' And St. 'Peter will say, 'Have you paid all your debts, Pat?' And I will say, 'Yes, Your Honor.' And then he will ask me for my resates, 'and when he looks over them he will want to know how alseht this $10, and when he finds I haven't got The resate for it he will send me back to get it. And,Your Honor, I don't want to be running all over hell after you to get that resate." Whether the Irishman received a second sentence for contempt or not Justice Har- lan does not state,—N. Y. Herald. Poetry and Boarding. "Poetry, thou sylph divine," he rhapso- died in his seven -by -nine hall bedroom, when there came a law- but distinct rap at his door. "Oh, dearest, may I call thee mine," he concluded his rhyming measure as he open- ed the door and fell futo the arms of his landlady, who was a widow. "Then this board bill is canceled," she said as she tore it up and flung her 250 pounds of too, too solid flesh into his arms, which were aghast at receiving her. [That may not be the right word, but it sounds better than agape.] "1.o more board bills," he murmured blissfully, as he took in the situation, like- wise the widow. "And no more impecunious boarders in the hall bedroom," she said in a tone that made him wince ; "this room shall bring in a weekly income of seven trade dollars." "It shall, he said, "and we will collect in advance, for you can never toll when a boarder will skip out." And late that night he acted cn his own suggestion, and the landlady is minas a border, a board bill and a prospective hus- band. The poetical youth had eloped with his muse. A Slight Change.

BONES, HORNS, ENTRAII.t EVERY- THING GOBS To Swell the rr0Ats of ti*e Stook Nara Poker — w e a ti Ifo Cattle Are Slaughtered Tor Market—Theruugh Economy and ingenutty Characterize the Caginess, Some railway traoks are crossed, and the sight -seer stands in the thick of a cluster of tracking -houses. ''From out of a doorway under a phenomenally long porch come huge sides of rod and white beef, shot out as if from a multiple cannon. These great weights of meat hang from pulleys that run upon a track overhead, and they swing along one after another as boards are turned out of a saw -mill, and with force enough to toss the men who are paid to guide them as if the men where jackstraws. These junks of meat wore moving in the pens a short while before ; now they are being loaded into refrigerator cars. In this building the cattle are being turned into butcher's meat. I saw two fat and comfortable steers coming out of ari alley, and was told that they were trained to load the other cattle to the foot of an inclined and enclosed gangway, there to turn and leave thein, while the other brutes went on and up the walk to the slaughter -pens. That is earning their living—and an honest one—with a sten. geanee ! I saw that £he beeves were driven into pens, and that men ran along or stood over thein on planks laid across the tops of the pens. I saw that they jabbed and prodded the poor beasts into the right position for their purpose, and then that they fulled them with crushing bialys from hammers upon their skulls. Tlien the doors of the pens were thrown open, chains were fast- ened about the hind legs of the unconscious beasts, and they were swung up so that they hung upon a trolley running on a single overhead rail. Silently and methodi- cally the slaughterers walked along and gashed their throats, and the mysterious red essence of life was flung with drenching volume on the slippery floor. Rapidly, far more rapidly than the reader would believe unless he had seen it done, the carcasses are sent back to the next and the next and the next set of operatives to have their hides taken off—so skillfully that they fetch more than ony other hides discarded by any other butchers in the world—to have their entrails removed, to have their heads and hoofs taken off, to be split and washed, and to be sent swing along to the cooling rooms. Si- lence, skill, expedition,these were the char- acteristics of all the labor in that murderous place. Everything—without particularizing too closely—every single thing that appertains to a slaughtered beef is sold and put to use. The horns become the horn of commerce ; the straight lengths of leg bone go to the cutlery -makers and others ; the guts become sausage castings; their contents make fertil- izing material ; the livers, hearts, tong res, and tails, and the stomachs, that become tripe, all are sold over the butchers' count- ers of the cation ; the knuckle bones are ground up into bone flour for various uses ; trio lltood i dried and sold as a powder for commercial uses ; the bladders are dried and sold to druggists, tobacconists, and others ; the fat goes into oleomargarine, and from the hoofs and feet and other parts come glue and oil and fertilizing ingredients. Oved the slaughterhouse I found a series of rooms heaped full of bones and horns. Th): bones had been boiled to get the fat of tht marrow as well as to clean them. Then they had been dried and shaken about .until they were as smooth and clean as cotton spools. The knuckle joints had been cut off them, and one room was filled with the ground -up flour of those parts. The white and pretty bones that retrained were to be shipped to Connecticut, Eng- land, and Germany, to be worked into knife - handles, fan -handles, tooth -brush handles, backs for nail -brushes, sides for pen -knives, and into button -hook handles, shirt - studs, cuff buttons, and so on, ad infinitum. What was to become of the horns was still more astonishing. By heating them and then tapping them skilfully, the operatives had loosened the soft cellular filling which solidifies and strengthens each horn. The substance ttrounrl this, between it and the inner surface of the horn, goes for glue ; the rest is ground up into bone -meal. The horns were then to be sent to the makers of horn goods, who, by cutting each horn skilfully and then pressing it between heavy rollers, manage to spread each one out into a flat ribbon. In this shape it can be used in a thousand ways. The artificers who do this work cut each horn spirally, so that it be- comes a tight curl capable of being straight- ened out. By immense pressure the curve is taken out of it. Good horns sell at $125 a ton. It is by such thorough economy and ingenuity—by losing nothing and wasting nothing—that the great firms in this busi- ness have monopolized their ficldt A small butcher in the east cannot kill his meat and market it in competition with the stock- yard packers, because he must waste what they save and sell. I made a tour of the refrigerating or cool- ing rooms. They are kept at a temperature of 30', I believe. Yet when the meat fresh front the slaughter is railroaded into such a room, the animal heat in it warms the room for a considerable time, and fills it with steam as with a fog. Once it is cowled, the the sides of beef are.firm and haul and al- most appetizing. Everywhere, except at the actual scene of slaughter, these houses and the work in them are clean, and above criticism. While I looked on tlacywere killing four beeves a minute, or 250 in every hour. There were slaughtered in those stock -yards during 1890 no less than 2..'19,- 312 head of cattle more than 1,000,000 sheep, and 5,733,082 hogs. As I passed out of the yards some one handed a card to me. It contained a record of the business of one firm, the lead ng one of the "big four" packing concerns. It showed that during tine year ending April 1, 1891, that company transacted sales of 860,- 000,000 worth of meat and other goods. It killed 712,000 cattle, 1,714,000 hogs, and nearly 500,000 sheep. It employed 7,900 persons, and paid nearly $4,000,000 in wages. It owned 2,250 refrigerator cars and 50 acres of buildings. It made 7,000,000 pounds of glue and 9,500 tons of fertilizer. I suspect that its hogs and sheep and boxes of glue and sides of beef and cans of meat may stretch out, if piled one on the other, from here to the moon, but I leave the cal- culation to others, satisfying myself with the reflection that America is great, and Chicago is its prophet.—Julian Ralph id Harper's Weekly. Christian Science. One of the most remarkable cases on record of dependence on faith cure is that of a Dexter woman who is reported as having become so infatuated with the Christian Scientist theory that she laid away on the shelf her false teeth: that she had worn several years, declaring that she had faith that natural teeth would grow again. She waited patiently for the result for six monthe,but for some tnexplicable rea- son the new teeth yet delayed their ceming. —Lowistres Journal.

But one must not rob a man of his inches to fir a theory. Socrates was stumpy, also St. Paul, and Alex- ander the Great, great only as a wers rior. In stature both he and his far more intellectual father, Philip of Macedon, scarce reached middle height. In this regard we may rauk them with the famous Spartan general, Agesilaus ; with Attila,, the "Scourge of God"— broad-shouldered, thick -set, sinewy, short; with Theodoric 11,, King of the Goths, of whom Cassiodorus writes : "He is rather short than tall, somewhat stout, with shapely limbs alike Lithe and 'strong."

Louis the Great, who, by the by, less his his high -heeled shoes and towering wig, dwindles to about 5 feet 6.

Whereby a tale, if but to break the - jog -trot of this catalogue. When, then, Keppel—a commodore at 24 —was sent to demand an apology from the Day of Algiers for an in- sult to the British flag, lie. took so high a tone that the .Day exclaimed against the insolence of the British King for charging'a "beardless boy" with such a message to hit).

Detroit Free Press. A well-known doctor of divinity had in his congregation, when he had charge in a country town, a most determined old fellow who seemed to be quite zealous in the good work, but one Sunday he did not appear at church, and for three successive Sundays the preacher noticed his absence and then he went to see him. Ile found him at home in his usual health and spirits, and after some general talk he came to the object of his visit. "You haven't been to church,• lately, Brother Ball," he said. "No," confessed the brother. ` "You are falling from grace, 1l! fear." "Mebby I am, parson."
