Sir James Thornhill, a distinguished painter, was employed in decorating th iuteriur of the dome of St. Paul's Cathe dral. Oue day, to observe the elf et oft certain part of his work, he moved back wards fmm it along the scaffolding, until be hud reached the very edge; anoth step would have dashed hitu to pieces on the pavement below. His attendant at this moment observul hi" danger, and ill an instant tlir w a pot of paint at lie picture. Sir James immediately rushed forward to chastise the man for bis a parently unjustifiable in t, but when the reason was explained, could n-t ive bin sufficient thanks or sulhciciitly admire bis ingenuity. Had the man called out to apprise him of his danger, he would have probably lost bis footing and been killed. The only means nf saving hini was to create a motive for his involunta rlly returning from the edge ol the scaf fold. For this purpose an injury to the painting was a good means. All these calculations, and the act itself, were thu work of an instant, for this attendant possessed the inestimable quality of pres ence of mind. Ilurklen'e Arnica Naive.

NOTA HEN-COOP EDITOR Fred Carrutli, in tho Chicago Ttihuuc, tells the following : "Have you a newspaper hen ?" I asked of a man who came over to where we were camped on the edge of a little I'a kotah town. "Yes, got one; did have two. but the other feller pulled out last week." Didn't it pay?" "Naw, he wan't no good get out the weakest paper you ever situ." ' What was the trouble with it?" "''No news, or at least none to amount tu anything. Course, if something big happened that he couldn't help scein' he'd get it in, but ev'ry week there'd be a lot o spicy things that he'd keep still's mouse about, an' stick in a lot o' pieces on free trade, or protection, or inebby sometimes the tariff.
