NO. it: 11 ii I I ii i ii i Dr. lir.iest La Place, of the Philadel i.Lii M'-dico-Chirurgiea! College, says that WlTUill !i vcrv Miuri mm: iu: vson wil! heir again, from Dr. Ivoeh.

Tlie important';; (Jf this statement is due to the fact that Dr. La Place keeps himself fully informe 1 of ail tint in done in the studies and- la boratories of European scientist". The curious fact has just been brought t t light in Kentucky, learns the New York ' tint from IS 3 7 to H'Jj the S'at" loried money to individuals. Tiio 'e'erest from t ii source amounted to D; va in isr.7, to 31fi 7.1.32 in 1S3S, t vJ '.r.is.lO in 1S.V.), and in lBG'J to 1,:;'-.;.:;S. The State Auditor's report for few v...- i.-s shows that rnauy promi nent Iv-ntackiaris availed themselves of :his ui'' ins uf relief from "the stringency o." tl ni .iy market." The loins were ail ( i 1 in 1 Sol, and singularly enough, loth pr.iici 1. 1! a:;d interest were paid iu ever, instance. Tli Illinois Legislature found it easy a u ,' i t o pus the la v providing that ".no per- n, firui, o; corporation shall envoy 'any child under the ae of thir teen in aay store, shop, factory or mai uf f luring establishment by the day, or jay period of time greater than one iiy," without a certificate issued by tha i5)i:dof H lucati')n t!iat tha labor of the j-hil 1 is the only ma ins of support of "an "1 or infirm relative." The enforce u "uf, of tlie law has not, ho wever, been f o in 1 so easy, h-.irus tli3 New York Pjst. , N.j one appears to be charged with this important matter, au i as a coriiejuenca t'i .e .npioym -at of 'chil I re a undr the prohibit l;.1 age goes n the same as ever. Bis; figures are reached iu official ifhir.s in the city of New York, exclaims the Boston T'.i'iicript. The Comam iioacr of I'uijlic Works reports that his ;x:V.!iiditures for ths last threj months wt.ro nuirly $l,50f),0:)0v and contracts C'.ai vyill ro piiro a much more money rvcx1 nn 1'j with various parti3. There vru roouive.l aa 1 distributed daily 153, 000.OJ0 gallons of Crotoa. South of the Harlem Iliver the city has 36,753 miles of. paved streets and 44,019. miles of evver. The streets are lighted by gas lamps and 1103 electric Uaips. It is -encouraging to know that in the course of the quarter the Comrais sixaer's una took do.vu 5.7 telegraph I'o'.es and ?(. miles of wire. Ciri MUMati's tirst year's experience with t.-.e Trmnt Law, requiring all children fourteen years old and under t attend S'.iool, "is said to be satisfactory. The e:if. r."c!iiut of the law has increased the -'.: oi .attend nice by more than a thoti pupils. Fines to the extent of wsily l.ivMi ire been collected for the i'lfrs tions that have been detectod and .pnaMied. Nevertheless this uji does si 5t represent all the cases of the employ-' lu.nt of children who should have been ia school. The Truant OiUcer charged .fi the enforcement of the law finds r.inv parents so avaricious or so iudif to the education ot their offspring tfiHt theV have not hesitated to falsify a and detection has not ahvayi been V'jssib'.e.

Tbt thre are millions in pecan nuts is firm belief of F. A. Swindeu, of rjnAood, Texas.

Some years ago he becatn-i Evinced that pecan culture could be ii-' a success.

It was not a "pitch dark' - night, though there was neither moon nor star-, 'i'iie road lay white and glim meiing, as roadswill lie even on such nights. v Perhaps the moon was soine v here behind the clouds. Peg, the toll-keeper at the gate, had often seen the pike appear just so; and ao had Jim Wagner, plodding along the road. ( One might keep .. safely along, or might instead, by accident or a sudden tightening of the rein, turn square down the Silver Thread, thinking it was the pike especially if. one. were dreaming. Dul Jim had pa-sed the Silver- Thread safely. In soothing tones he was be seeching Mack Pan to "go it keerful and not to clank-her hoofs, as ef she couldn't make enough noise. For answer, Black Fan iu a senseless and provoking manner clanked her hoofs louder than before, and lifted her head and whinnied. There was no light in the toll-house nor sound o( life about the place; every thing was quiet and dark as it should be at almost twelve o'clock at. night. Hut as Mack Fan clanked her hoofs almost in front of the little porch, the door of the house (lew open c-aad Peg came out to take the toll. It was the rule rf the' pike that, after ' nine o'clock at night, the gate could be left untended, or the keeper, if she choose, might keep for herself the few coppers that c;$he. . "I b'lteve she'd set up watch hi' for a feller till mcrniu1," grumbled Jim, a3 Mack Fan rattled on toward home. "She's the stingiest woman in these parts." liill Wulsh, Peg's husband, had his blacksmith shop close by the toll-gate. If, ten years before, he had not gone to the Pastern Shore and brought back the chills and fever, he would have got on well enough. But the chills and fever and the blacksmith trade were never meant' to go tbgether. "He'll set an I shake day after day, mebbe for weeks at a time, and then not be over it," said Josh Bernet, explaining this curious disease to a neighbor; "an' his face about the color of them there jia.ies." There were four'chiidi en at the toll house. (),:e was a little girl who had a way of leaning out at the garret window and shaking her fist at people wdio, she im agined," were planning to keep her mother waiting :fter dark. She was such a very pretty little girl that, people only laughe 1 when they s$$her shaking her list. There were the two boys who weut to school whenever they were sent; and then tlie bad little boy who generally sat on the porch in tine, weather, wearing his Sunday shoes every day. lie was his mother's pet. None of Peg s children were sent to school regularly. T.'iey went when their clofhes were new; and when tb.es? gar ments were old, faded and patched, tlie chihiieii stayed at home. For Peg was proud. Her iivighb ts O were aware of it, and shunned her ac cordingly. Poverty was. in their minds, something sent by the Lord, an 1 noth ing to be ashamed of. Sickness was a trial sent from heaven; but pride was a crime which they could not forgive. Peg did not love her neighbors any more than they loved her. Perhaps there was a little jealousy intermixed with the feeling she bore them. Most of them were not nearly so poor as she. Some were farmers, with well-cultivated acres. There were Mr. Joue?, the drov-! er, aud Mr. Ed Coou, who had set up a rival blacksmith shop on the other side "of the creek, aud got plenty of work. "Ef Bill warn't sickly, we might hev a house like his'n," Peg had ofterj thought, as she sat .lion- in the dark j with a bitter feeling creepiug about her f erirr' i If Peg had sent the children to school j jha oh clothes as well as new; if she had ! Itllowel Bill to buy on credit just a bit ; olown at the store, to show he . could be : trusted; it sae tia-l sometimes let people slip through the gate iu the evening without paying the coppers that made the pike no richer; and. above all, if i: hadn't been reported that she'd said, "if her or any o' hern was sick, she didn't want '.an to come with their custards and their gelatine," things might lav- be,u UilT.-r-ent.

Then she - stalled up and said " )h !" and clasped her bands togeilier and laughed, as she might have done wiieu she was down on the' Kaste'n Sho'." She tiptoed. softly out throu .'h the oar row passageway and un the .steco little steps to where the bad little boy lay asleep in his Sunday shoes ; for he would not take them gIT for all his mother's beggiDg. She knelt be9ido him, and began to un tie the strings. She had lorgotten that she felt "sick and tired and most worn- out. Her black eyes were laughing still, as she stooped over and kissed her pet. But when she kissed him, the laugh ter died out of her eyes, and there came an anxious lo,ok iasteaJ. S'.ie put her little, hard brown hand on his forehead, and then on liis cheek, and then oa his chubby .wrist; and as she listened to the irregular breathing, John Wynn drove past, and wriggled vith delight to think that be had cheated the toll for the secoud time. The drivers were not kept waiting the next day. Dan Toomey's fast mare was obliged tot pause an instant. John Wynn tried it again, was trapped; but Peg s pet did not sit on the doorstep that sunny Tuesday and swing his Sabbath-shod feet as if there were nothing in the world so tine. "Has Walsh's children stopped a-goin' to school altogether?" inquired Mrs. Coon,. as Mary and Belie cime bouncing iu with their satchels. "Some "n's sick, I s'pose," said Belle: "I L-ecn the doctor's horse tied to the tree a paw hf like he'd been there a long tinu." " 'Hum!

A little white conva was carried out from the toll-house one day, and old Mrs. Lisle fell to t rying and sobbing as the burden was carried past the store. "A;f -ie verso much as a cracker," she moaned, 'au' tio milk nor n thin"! "The proudest woman in these paits," cried Josh Bernet, thrusting his hands dtep into his trouper's pockets, m.d ve- henu-ntiv pacin-the floor. -Bv Geo-r-e!" exclaimed Colonel Qroen, purSng and blowing. "JJiU Walsh is down himself; taken in the - '. . , -i . i . . t waiethiag must be done. "' There was a light in the toil -h jus Ujw ; it stetued as if it had been there a long time-a steady,, mellow light, that fell across the road and lost itself in the grassy field, - But tle door tlew open as usual when Will Smith's wagon drove up, and Peg catue out. foothe toll. Thinking of the unhippiness nud pov- erty within. Will timidly held out a si!- j ver quarter. "Three ceuts." said Peg, sharply, ud handed him back the change. The humming-birds whizzed away sud denly from the great clustering honey suckle at the end of Col. Green's front porch. They had dipped their bills un-di-'.urbed into the sweetness of its h aey, though the Colonel's voice came big and blustering wit through the open sitting room window. B it this disturbance was more than a i voice; it was-a girl who came rushing to the bench uuder the vine and threw her I arms on the railing, wiflfher head inner arms, and began to weep, . , , , , , , , ... r irst eh.e soo;ed vehementlv, as if she , , , t, ' 4 , na i lucn keeping back the tears and c-cill do so no longer. Then she wept more softly, and at last stopped alto gether, and fell to wondering a little in dignautly why her grandfather aud the rest of the people did not stoo talking and set to work to do something instead. "If 1 were only- a man," said Hetty Green, hopelessly, "I should think, of some way." She pressed her face deeper among fhe fresh leaves ami sighed, thinking. Then she began to wonder what she would think of if she really were a man. As she, puzzled her brain she stool so bilently that the birds came whizzing about -again, only to be started off on another tour as she jumpel up and ran back into the house. If they had remaine l and peeped in at the window, they might have seen Hetty performing an ecstatic dauce across the sitting-room floor to where the worn-out Colonel rested iu his leather chair. Tney might have seen -her lliug herself upon the arm, arid whisper in the Colonel's ear "exactly what he and all the other people must go and do. But the birds must have bec-u soraHy piuzded, for -why should a whisper fro a girl who va9 always whispering make such an impression upon a gray-haired, -sensible man pke the Colonel? He did not wait until she was done whispering before he was tapping his feetoa the floor and nodding his head, and exclaiming, "By George!'.' in ap proval. Whether or not she was really done they could not have known, for the Colonel suddenly put on his hat and left the room. All around the country for miles and miles drove Hetty's grandfather, the Colonel, pausing for an instant at every house on the way, rushing in and out cf Dilltoa's livery stable, and exclaiming and gesticulating to every man ne met. "When Colonel Green reached home ; j.hat night he was ready for be 1; but he J did not go to it. He ate his supper in i desperate hurry, and ordered out hi tired horse. John "Wagner and Will Smith did an outrageous tiling... Bill Walsh, as every body knew, was down with the scarlet fever, and three children lying ill in the next room; but these two young fellows - drove through without paying, right under Peg's nose. She did not cad angrily at the n, as she would have done a week before. She turned about in the doorway an. 1 put her hands over her fa.re.- Some one uo-tairs tossed and ninsie l, . , ' nr-d a child's voice screamed for water . .w she let her hands fall, and ran ubuv ' fat as she c i" . i :f..t ,i -i !..... .... . 1 - . n livr s ( tv ones, u,(l 'viiit. i. v it "iu.i"- to her.' hat had the uoctor b"eu s ly ing?

She knew -he must do this. God had puai-hed her sin of pride, surely. "I-ii ust, I must !'' muttered Pe. Then ,he llarte.i down the stair,. juiek a a dash, and stood at the irate waiting for her own and the Company's mom-v. John Wstgner cried out: "Wert caught," and W.U shoutr-d: "ll ro it s. fast'." but it was no il-e. Peg took the money hers and the Co opa iy's. The old clock inside. th door struck ; nine. "What was that do vu the dim roadway? Another buggy. She stood and waited for her iuonv this time. Why, there was a doable- turn com ing, and another! Wa- tiirre a party some a here f She ha I not beard. One after another carriges cam-' p) ir- iug iu, thr one-horse wagons, two-horse wagons, six -horse teams and eight-horse teams; there were little limping ponies, whose t rotting day had long been over, and carts and sulkies and horsemen, and mules, dotikt ys and goats. Peg dropped her money fio-.n her hand to her apron, and stood there holding it up. Tir lamps from a liverv. stable carriage threw thef light upon her tare, j showing tlie great, wo-Menng niac.v eyes and the kinks of tlie brown hair. Some laughe. 1 softly as iiiey jingled the toll into the apron; some reproached her for sitting up s late to catch a p irty ; some declare I vehemently that they weren't going to pay at this time iu the night, but they piid just the s,t ne. One voice an old man's near the end of the cavalcade cried out triumphantly , "By George'.' aud the 'last of the train passed through.. "Did you catch 'em, Pegf" Thin and weak cam" the voice from the bed, with just a tremor of humor iu it. Peg looked at him. She could see that he was much better. .1 I t Peg held open her apron so that he might see that it was full. Theu she went down on her kuee.s beside the bed. "They done it a-purpose, Bill!" she laid, and could say no more. Youth' Companion. Blunders of Good Writers. A writer recently said of Dr. Johnson: "Invariably late down for breakfast, he did once happen to be so soon as to have to wait for others."' Tnis fairly rivals George Saintsbury's "constantly" right in general," and surpasses, if possible, the characterization of a politician as "rather radical in the extreme." Treating of the French, an author ob served that "the decline of the material comforts of the working classes had now reached to an alarming height." A phy sician once boasted "I was the firt to discover Asiatic 'cholera and to com-n i nieate it to the public." The buyer of a horse was ouce warned "that he might find himelf saddled with a worthies animal." , Many of the mistakes that oc cur in newspaper otlb-es arise from faulty chirograph)'.
