She was barefooted, wore a man's straw hat, and it was oasy enough to identify her as a mountain wife. I offered to take the bundle. "It's Baby Sue," she said, as she passed it up. "Ah ! a buby. Well, I'll bo careful of her. . How old is she?" "Gwine on two yers." "She's pretty heavy for such u long walk." "I've dun walked over ten uii'es with her already, but I felt I had to do it. Jim, he's a waitin' fur her." "And who's Jim ?'' "My man, salt. They's dun got him in jail fur mounshiiiin', and the Lawd only knows when he'll bo free. I jest knowed he'd near dis if he couldu't hev one last look at Sue." She lay like a log in my arms, and, 1 supposed, sound asleep. I raised the veil to get a peep at her face. One glance told mo all. "Why, woman, your baby is dead !'' I exclaimed, as I made the discovery. i: Yes, sab; duu died last night," sho rep icd. "And you you " "I'ze got to take her to jail and let Jim see her. 'l'ore old Jim ! He dun loved baby Sue liko his own life. He'd never forgive me if he didn't dun see her afore she was buried." She wiped the tears away as he walked ulongbide. At the jail she took the little body from my hands, tenderly kissed the white, cold face, and said : "Lawd bless ye," stranger, fur yer kindness! Jiui's in yere, and when he sees baby Sue I reckon ho won't care no mo' what they do with him. Poor Sue! l'oor old Jim !" New York Sun. MKC T1IK StVOUl) OV 1) IMOCI.E.

KKJATOll SAWVERS KKTUlt.N TO A I1EOTHKR WHO DID HIM A SMALL FA VOR. Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, accu mulate J an inr.uen.se fortune in the lum- bur regions of the North wt-st. He left New iork State comparatively a poor boy, with 8200 iu his pocket, which he ned by working on a farm His brother was then a well-to do fanner in in native State. As young Sawyer was bidding farewell his brother asked him how much money he had to begin life with in the West. "I've got S10S) in my pocket," said the senator of the future. His brother gave him a dollar lo make it an eveu two huudred. A few years ago Senator Sawyer, re- turning from a visit to Hiiro pe. stopped at his brother's house in Now York State to spend a wtek amid the scenes of his youth. He uoticed a cloud on his brother's face. One cveniug at supper the senator casually inquired into his for- tunes, and, before the conversation closed velopcd the fact that he was troubled over some outstanding notes. They were not exactly pressing, but as a thrifty fir- uier and a couscieutious man generally they troubled him, By adroit question- ing the senator ascertained the amount if each note and the name of the holder, The next morning at breakfast he said to his brother : "I want to use your horse and buggy to day, to take a drive over the country and call on situe of my iViomh. But I 'o alono." The horse and buggy were got ready, and away went the c-eeeutrie old seua- tor. They were sitting together that even- ing after supper, when out of bis insido coat pocket the senator drew a small pack- age of papers aud handed them to Iur brother. They were the notes, representing an gregato of 8 1,300. Ho had paid and taken them up. His brother was at first dumb founded. Still he was not averse to the senator s course. The notes had been scattered among three or four men. In the sena tor's hands they were all together, and then the senator was his brother, and it was only natural that he should prefer hiin as his creditor. "Now, you make out a note fur the whole amount, and I will secure it," he said. "When I went West 'said tho senator looking up at the border of the wall paper "you gavo me a dollar to make up the two hundred with which I began life for myself. Probably you have forgotten it, but I never forget a financial transaction. Every dollar I took West earned me $ 1,450. The notes I took up to day were for only $1,300, and so, iustead of being in my debt, I still owe you $150. Here it is." And he handed him the amount in crisp bank-notes already c )uut- ed.

THE INVKXTOH OK THE SHOT TOWKR WAS TAI I1HT HIS I'RINOII'LK AT NKI1IT. Before Watts, the discoverer of the present mode of making shot, had his notable dream, induced by over-indulgence in stimulants, the manufacture in fines- tion was a slow, laborious and conse- fluently costly process. Great bars of lead had to be pounded into sheets of thickness nearly equal to the diameter of the shots desired. These sheets had then to bo cut into little cubes, placed in a revolvinir barrel and there rolled around until, by the constant friction, the edges wore off from the little cubes and thov become spheroids, Watts had often raked his brain trvina to discover some better and less costly scheme, but in vain. Finally, after spending an eveuing with some boon com pardons at au ale house, ho went home went to bed and soon fell asleep. His slumbers, however, was disturbed by un welcome dreams, in one of which he was out with "the boys," and as they were stumbling home it began to rain shot beautiful globules of polished shining lead in such numbers that he and his companions had to seek shelter In the morning Watts remembered his euiious dream and it obtruded itself on his mind all dav. He began to won- der what shape molten lead would assume in falling through tho air, and finally, to set his mind at. rest, ho ascended to the top of the steeple of the Church of St Miry at llcdcliflu and dropped slowly and regularly a ladleful of molten lead into tho moat below. Descending, he took from the bottom of tho shallow pool scv- eral handfuls of the most perfect ho bad ever seen. Watt's fortune was made, for from this exploit emanated the idea of the shot tower, which ever sinco has been the only means employed in the manufacture of the little missiles so iin- portantin war and sport. SIGN OF DEATH. A FRENCH PHYSICIAN GIVES A FORMU LA FOR TUTTING DOUBT AT REST. Probably ninety-nine people out of hundred have a terror lest they should bo buried alive, aud numberless have been tho cases where a dying person exacted a sacred promise that a vein should be cut, or some means adopted by which death could bo assured. 1 roin time to time we are horrified by learning that souio person has been buried alive after assurances have been given of death. Under these circumstances the opinion of a rising French physician upon the subject become of world-wide interest, fur sinco tho tests which have beeu in use for years have been found unreliable, no means should be left untried to prove beyond a doubt that life is actually ex tinct before conveying our loved ones to the gravo. Dr. Martinot asserts that an unfailing test may be made by producing a blister on tho hand or foot of tha body by holding the flame of a candle to the same fur a few seconds, or until thu blis- tor is forme., which trill always occur, jf (ho i,istL.r contains any fluid it is evi jgugg oflife, and the blister only that projucea by an ordinary burn; if, on tl c,)Iltrarv. the blister contains ouly steam ' " jt w b0 a,Kctt,.J that life is extiuct.

THE SALINE INCRCSTATIOX OF THE FA MOUS I'EIISIAN DESERT. 'Giiltllluniitcx Geiitfraphictil MnrnziM. One of tho natural curiosities of Asia is the Great Salt Desert of Persia, which covers a large territory about 70 miles south of Teheran. O.K. Biddulph, who recently visited this place, says that D.ir-ya-i-Naniak is an exteusive tract of ground sloping on all sides toward the centre, covered with an incrustation of solid salt several feet thick in most places, while some parts it is of unknown depth. As he saw it from the mountain top it stretch ed away lor many miles, appearing like a vast fivzeu lake. It extcuded as far as the eye could reieh toward the south south aud west, and glistened in the sun like a sheet of glass. His party finally approached she mar gin of the salt plaiu and decided to cross it. They found swampy ground fur a mile or so and then entered upon tho sheet of salt itself. Near the edge the incrustation was thin and the salt sheet was sol't, sloppy and mixed with earth. At a distance of three or four miles from tho edge looked like solid ice as it is seen on any pond in northern latitudes during the wiuti r. The surface was not quite level, but resembled that of which had partially thawi J aud then froy.-n again, after a slight fail of tnow, Of the s didiiy of this incrustati-.m there could be no doubt, for camels, horses aud mules were travelling over it without vibration of any kind being pere 'ptible Aftir marching for about tight miles upon tins unusual suilaoo the party halted to examine its composition. They tried, by means of a hammer and an iron t cleg, to break oti a block ol salt to carry away as a specimen. Hie salt however, was so very hard that they could make no impression upon it. They managed at last in another place to chip off a lot of fragments which were of tho purest white. Iu two or three days they had absorbed so much moisture that they became soft and slaty blue ia color. KISSKS NAVHI) UP. A travelling man, who was also the head of a prosperous firm, promised his newly wedded wife that he would give her a dollar every time he kissed her and in that way she could save plenty of money. Things went on in this way for several years, and, as he made plenty of money, he faithfully kept his promise Filially reverses came and the onco pros perous travelling man found that he was virtually a pauper. He went homo to his wife, and told her all. She, however, did not seem to feel worried, and he was somewhat surprise when she asked him to take a ride with her that afternoon, but ho accepted her invitation. Passing a largo block on a well known street she said: "That's mine." Soon she came to, a handsome flat and said "that's miue." Well, she showed him several places with the sane remark until he bogau to be suspicious, mid in quired, "How in the deuce did you aceu inulate so much wealth?'' "Do you re member the contract you made wbeu we were first married? ' she paid. "Yes," replied "I do." "Well, I invested and it has uiaile us ilea. 1 no lrav.-l ieg man bung his head and said nothing. This was kept up thirty minutes until his wife became alarm; d, and site nsketi, "What in the world is thu matter, and what are you thinking about?"

"Yes, I went to tho theatre once, and earned $25 by doing it, too. You see 1 was born and brought up right here in Greenwich village. My folks were all Dutch Reformed and dread ful strict, and my mother thought it was an awl'ul sin to go tho theatre. "My nusoamt was tiilleront. lie was younger and gayer, and ho was alwayi hoggin' me to go to tho theatre or the opera with him, until at last, Washing ton's birthday, he came in and said '.Now, see here. Iheros a-goin to be a big minstrel show here to-night. aud I want you to go. I know you'll mgh yourself sick.' " 'Oh, no, I wouldn't I says. '"Yes, you would,' he ssys, 'Y couldn t help it. I'll givo you $25 it' you'll sit through the show withe aughing.' " 'Do you mean it? 1 says. " 'I meau it,' ho says. '"Then I'll go,' I says, 'and rn g though. that $25, too.' He laughed aud I knew he he was pretty safe not to lose the mono). We were pretty well otf then, and I nev er used to suppose I'd have to keep v thread aud needle shop for a livin.' Well, the eveniti' came and wo went to tue show, aud 1 do say it was the fun. niest thiug I ever see. I thought I'd die I wanted to laugh so, but every time I felt like smilin' I'd think of that $25 and pull my face straight in a hurry. My husbaud kept lookin' at mo whenever they got off the best jokes, as if to say: "Surely you'll laugh at that but there I sat, looking as solemn as a judge. "Towards the end of the time he got kind of uneasy about his mo ney, and he'd point out the jokes and n udgo me with nu elbow, but through it all 1 never laughed once. I thought of all tho bad and dreadful things I'd ever heard of, but even while thiukin' of f unerals aud corpses and all it was all I could do to keep my face s nooth. "And when we got out he says : " 'Well, I'll keep my word aud you shall have tho mouey, but I never would have believed you cou Id have done it never!'

Some time ago, upon the occasion of a visit of tho Lord Bishop of London, Canada, to a friend here, the Chieagoan gave his children a preliminary course of instruction in etiquette. "Now, remember, children," was the last aud most einphatij admonition, "that you me not to speak unit si tho Bishop addresses you aud then you must answer. ' Yes, my lord or 'No, my lord,' but be sure to add 'my lord.' " After uiiiticr ihe Bishop suddenly turned to little !i year old Johnnie aud remarked: ' suppose you area good little by, uivii't on ?
