Ihe Small Boy"Saew Mora Tbaa tfcai .Crowd and the Two Polleemen. , , A (Trocar's wagon, came out of a nlde street and started across Amsterdam ave nue. In the middle of the avenue the horso slipped and fell. , fie lay across the up town car. track,, and the wagon stood on the down town track. , ; ? : ' The driver jumped out and stood by helpless. --' "-Ay 'r ; "Hold his head down!" shouted a man from the.cidewalk. . . . : '-' ' . Two laborers, big, strong fellows, were passing. . .They sprang forward and held the head of the fallen horse close to the ground. Two othor men came and sat on the animal's neck. " i'; ! An up town car had come tip and stop ped. A moment later a down , town oar was blocked, and both drivers went ior ward to the fallen horse and offered sug gestions. The conductor of the down town car caught hold of the. wagon and tried to liftrtt off the track. He was not: strong enough and swore softly. 4 I 1 A policeman came, and at his. heels a crowd. .The horse was still down, and six men were "sitting on his neck. The crowd increased. ' Two more oars came up, and the four drivers and con ductors swore. So did the passengers. A policeman from the next post came np on a run and attempted to scatter the crowd. That made , the crowd '; larger. They formed a circle about the fallen horse!" ' . " . Every body asked everybody eh7- what it was all about, and the poliooman. said, "Get fell onto' here!" 1 A small boy. with' a cloth "cap over his ears and a roller skate on one foot,' slipped past the policeman and got Inside the cuv oie.

New York Son. , . ' The Ark-Bora Man. i Hundreds of the ancient gleaners of mis cellaneous curios, legends, myths and tra ditions give us to understand that Cnsh was born , oh the ark. Others claim that there was a child born' on the sacred vessel, but that it was sacrificed to one of the wild beasts, , Noah declaring that no person should leave the ark who had not gono on' board in the regulation manner. The weight of the evidence as It is given by. tho Talmudio writers is to the effect that Cush is the person referred to by tho old time mystery gleaners whon they speak of the "ark bornT man. The sacred books, as well as the scores of Biblical encyclope dias, handbooks of, ancient history, etc., are silent on: the subject. In a reprint of ono of the ram old "Saxon Chronicles" I find a clow to the mystery, and another slight hint in an explanatory note in Her bert's "Nimrod. In tho "Saxon Chroni cles" tho following occurs: "Bedwig was the sou of Sbetn, who was the sun of Noah, and he (Bod wig) was born on the ark." Herbert's noto in "Klmrod,' volume 2, page 37, says, "Rybelc is the ark, and as Cush was bcgottonl in the ark his posterity were In a peculiar sense descended from that ship.". Although Herbert' makes no direct reference to tho fact of Cush being actually born in the sirk, be speaks of him in several places as "Cush, tho ark born." The Talmudio writers discredit the Bedwig story,' but declare that Cush was born on the day.that "God's covenant'' (the rain bow) first appeared. St. Louis Republic. ."Slaking a Landfall."

A special lighthouse la usually tho object sought and in approaching New York har bor It Is customary for steamers from Eu rope to first find or "sight" Firo Island ligbtbouso. This is on a little sandy island hoar the coast of Long Island. Besides the lighthouse there Is on this island a signal and telegraph station. When, therefore, tho liner stonins in sight of Fire Island light, she hoists two signals, one of which tells her name and tho -other tho welfare of those on board. The operator then tele graphs to the ship's agent In New York that she haa been sighted and that all on board are well or are otherwise. The ship's course is then laid to reach the most prominent object at slur harbor entrance, in this case Sandy Hook light- -ship. ...She is easily recognised;- big, cradle shaped hull painted red, with two stumpy masts having block boll shaped cages on top of them.

Trade " and Some ef Its FoUowem Xs Entttled t 7 Ree3atfnl Conalderatlon. y.-i- - ' - .; In soma literary journal a'hack". was iafined lately as a man who writes polities on either or any side indifferently. A back might do this, and Dr. Maglnn, a famous hack of old days, Is said to have done It Whether the charge is true or not I have no means of ascertaining, but the definition, In any case, is not good. : It Is too narrow In one sense and too wide in another. " A hack is a hired, person of all .work. A political hack is a wire puller and Intriguer, a busy writer and speaker and whisperer, who, in one shape or an other," is paid for his serTioes. He may serve only one side and serve it steadily, but he Is a hack for all that. He works for pay, not, like the nobler kind of poli tician, for love, ambition, patriotism or ' what yon please. ; v:' -" ;vi'; v Now, by parity of reasoning, a literary rhack is a writer of all work who writes for : pay, and, If, be were not paid, could . not write. As distinguished from a Chester field or Walpoleor Gray, he accepts jobs, not, In the first place, because he .likes 'them, but because he must. A banker ;llke Mr.' Grote, a peer like Lord Mahon, a 'poet like Wordsworth or Keats, or almost any poet, is not a hack, because he only works as he chooses. :He is paid if he is lucky, but he does not primarily write for pay. . - Dr. ' Johnson, Dr. Goldsmith, Southey, Scott (in his last years), Defoe (always), Collins (unsuccessfully), were all hacks, and we of the profession need not be ashamed of them. They wrote ar ticles, reports of speeches, translations, es says, and so forth, because they needed money, not because they were fascinated disinterestedly T by their' themes. The "Life of Napoleon" was hack work;' so was the dictionary;. so were Goldsmith's histories.; so wore Southey 's articles in The Quarterly Review. But Macaulay s essays In the Edinburgh Review, could not be called hack work. They were spontaneous. A great man of letters, now dead one who held a high literary post described himself sadly as "a dependent on litera ture." 1 He was not his own master, but , he defined or described a haok aa one who wrote the some thing over and over again in several places, as hacks are very apt to' do. -Nobody can have more than a certain stock of Ideals, and any one who writes in several Berlals Is pretty certain to conform to this definition of a hack. An author who merely repeats himself in his books, as certain philosophers do, lain a different kind of position. He has no master In the form of an editor to whom he owes, origi nality which he cannot pay. ' I do not mean that reiterating certain ideas, philo sophical, political, religious, is hackwork. They need to be driven into the public head by repeated hammerings. But the. hack repeats not only his ideas, but his il lustrations. , Hazlltt was a hack, and his favorite illustrations, quotations and so forth betray him by their reappearances. In this matter we all sin, but -the sin is one of which we ought to be watchful. The hack has commonly been spoken of contemptuously, because we have not shaken off the old opinion that literature cannot be honestly or honorably plied as a profession. Our ancestors allowed only to disinterested genius a right to ply the pen. Mercenary talont, however honest, was frowned upon and laughed at. - The notions cf Major. Pendcnnis, who had a back for nephew, still exist. . To be a hack, people think, is to be destitute of -genius and mechanical, yet we could easily add to our list men of genius who. were hacks, llko Thackeray in his early career, like Hood, like a hundred others of. honor able names. : The notion is that the artist takes pleasure In bis work, while the hack does not. But tho hack can elevate his' function by doing it with pleasure, with a zest, whatever the work may be. A man may delight, if he be happily tem pered, even in making an Index! To make an Index is really rather enjoyable, and a good Index even will not be compiled without enjoyment. A man may subtly enforce his own Ideas or cunningly in dulge his humor even in this apparently mechanical labor. ' A dictionary offers him still better openings.- No doubt Dr. Johnson enjoyed his own dictionary. I an concelvo a man writing with a sest even sermons at half a crown. They will scarcely be worth the half crown if he does not. Tho lowly estate is also elevated by its motive, which may be the support of a family or may be the desire to find means lor living and writing spontaneously. ,1 Southey wrote his articles and biogra phies, which were well paid, that he might be able to afford to write his poems and histories, which were probably tery ill paid. The hack who.would keep his self respect must ever have on hand some spontaneous Work. It maybe and prob ably will be unremunorativo. Tho world does not want a man's best thoughts. Still less does it want his learning. - Very likely his best - thoughts are not, In fact, -nearly so good or taking as his second or third bob t. But he docs . not easily resign himself to believe this, nnd it is well for him to put what lie thinks the cream Of himself Into epics, and treatises which no body buys, whilo his Eklmmllk finds a ready market. It keeps up a man's heart and solf respect and makes him, If a hack, still not all a .hock, but a soul which has Its hours of freedom. And then there Is al ways the mirage of posterity. Andrew Lang in London Illustrated news. , A CUEER ANIMAL. ' - -: ' ' -.-'t-j .. The AoMtnUaa Dacliblll Carries a Stlns; In Use Lee. Australia certainly holds the palm for queer and uncouth animals. 'Chief among tnese is the duckbill, or ormtho rhynchus, which Sidney Smith described as a kind f mplo with webbed - feet and the bill of a duck, which "agitated Sir ; Joseph Banks and rendered him. miserable from, his utter inabihty to decide whether it was a bird or a beast " It was only recently that it was proved beyond a doubt that this curious animal lays eggs like a bird,' though this had long been reported by travelers. Now: comes the -news that it has a sting on its" hind leg, capable of killing by its" poisonous effects. We quote from The Lancet: T-:'i; ' ;i ; r- (..; - 'For a long time it was considered to be quite harmless and destitute of any weapon of offense, although tho .hind legs -of., the males were armed with a Twwerful spur, apparently ; connected with a gland. Then the opinion was aoV vanced that this might be. a weapon al lied to the poisonous armory of snakes, : scorpions and bees, all of which possess a sort of hypodermic: poison syringe. . Though one set of observers asserted that this Was the case, another Bet denied it, and so Dr. Stuart determined, if pos sible, to solve this question. He received two independent accounts, which coin cided perfectly, and from them he con cludes that at certain : seasons, at all events, tlie secretion is virulently; poi sonous. The mode ef; attack, is not by Bcratching, bnt by lateral inward move ments of the hind legs. . . Two cases are reported in dogs, 'ik One dog Was 'stung' three times, the symptoms much resem bling thoee from bee or hornet poison. The dog Was evidently in great pain and very drowsy, but there were no tremors, oonvulsiona or staggering. It is worthy 'of note ihs.'i a certain immunity seems obtainable, for the dog suffered lees on the second occasion and still less on the third, JTwo cases of men being wounded are reported, in both cf which the ani mals were irritated, one by being shot and handled, the other by being handled only ; the symptoms were the same as in the dog. Ko deaths are reported" in Iranian beings, bat four in dogs.

His Escape Front jail and Life In a Board " . Jns Hooaa. t ; Big Frank .McCoy, the burglar, exhltn lted great coolness in his escape from the county jail at Now Castle, Del. He had been convicted of an attempted bank bur glary at Wilmington and was sentenced to punishment at the whipping post and a long term of -Imprisonment. His counsel tried hard to save him from the whipping post, but In vain, and the convict took it especially hard that a criminal of his rank should be subjected to so humiliating an ordoal. ' ;; - ' ;. v V r : "-; ? The jail at New Castle was ' oond uctod In a domestic fashion, and the ' prisoners, all idle, since Delaware has no peniten tiary properly so called, gradually came to know -all of the sheriff's family: The sheriff '8 house indeed was part of the jail structure. McCoy made his escape by way of tho domestic apartments, and in doing so encountered the wife of Sheriff Grubb. That lady was of . enormous bulk, and consequently of great deliberajilon In her movements! .; According to her account McCoy said to her: : - - " Goodby,' Mrs. Grubb, I'm going to leave yon, ' and she replied forbidding him and threatening to scream.- . She was too much astonished "and un nerved, however, togive tbe alarm im mediately, and when she finally recovered herself, McCoy, was away : with the pals that awaited bim just outside the jail .with a carriage and a swift horse. One of the most remarkable phases of McCoy '8 life was his residence with his wife at a boarding bouse at New Haven. Tbe pleasant manners of the wife and the ease and suavity of the husband recom mended them to their fellow boarders, and they came to be on friendly terms with some of the best known people in the uni versity town. The occasional absences of i the husband were ezplalnod by the wife as resulting from business engagements and the pleasant relations between the burglar and his distinguished acquaintances went on for months, until It came like a thun der clap to the latter that he was a notori ous criminal, under . suspicion-for recent burglary.

Said That Doctont -Weiw Heartless. in opinion was expressed by a profes sional man tbe other day that doctors wore a heartless lot of people, and the man who : expressed it backed it up with an incident he had witnessed In a hospital. " A patient was suffering from hydropho bia, and the professional man, who was looking at the sufferer, asked the doctor: "Does the sight of water throw him Into . a spasm?" :. - "Yon can see for yourself," replied the doctor, and he produced a glass of water, the sight of which brought on a spasm horrible to witness. - Some time later, when tbe ward where tbe sufferer was lying was visited by two physicians,' one of them asked the attend ing doctor:!. "What by bis condition? Has he got any chance of getting well?" - - "Ha is very low," was tbe reply. . "He's likely to die any minute. ' You'll be at the autopsy tomorrow, won't you?" - "That allocked me, " said the profession , al man.: "It was all right,-1 know. , The patient didn't, understand, but the Idea was shocking. It was oold blooded. It doesn't seem to me that a human belno could ever ; permit:' himself to beoome se- oalloas. But they do. I want to say right now that if I am ever slok I shall protest against going to a hospital eo long as there is breath tn ray body. I'll die at home or In the utreet, but no hospital ever gets me, remember that." Naw York Sun, powm Few tbe Zlsssc'':"1 y - The straight line is an abomination to the Chinese.
