"BEAR    ft    ONE   ANOTHER'S   BURDENS."
It ia ahown by the annual report ot one of the largest mining companien in Colorado that since tbe organization uf the company the average eont of producing (1 in gold has been thirty- seven oenta.
It says much for the recnperative pover* of St. Louis, Ho., when the fact is realized that already 8000 of tbe buildings blown down or damaged by the great tornado have already been either re-erected or repau'ed.
Massachusetts has eHtalilished eighty-five free libraries since the public library comniission was ap¬ pointed in 1890; Connei^tiyut forty since 1891, New Hampshire 130 since the same year, and Vermont fifty-nine since 1894.
Bays the Baltimore American: To the honor of ex-Librarian Hpofford be it said that he was tbe father of the plan to build the new Congressional Library, at Washington, which is pro, notinced by competent judges to be the finest structure of its kind in the whole world.   	
Another idiotic exhibition of shoot¬ ing backward with a rifle at a womau, tife aim taken from a lookingglass, haa proved fatal, this time at Berlin. An expert named Kruger, after shoot¬ ing various objects from the hands and shoulders of his sister, put a bul¬ let throngh her bead in the presence of 4000 persons.

Obaerves the Crookston (Minn.) Times: "Within the past year 150 private savings banks have failed in the country and tens of thousands of depositors have been swindled out ol their earnings. Countries as backward in civilization as Bnssia and Japan have government postal savings banka, bnt it seem* that the bankers have too mnob to say about the government of the United States for the reform to be adopted here."
The London Chronicle calls atteiv tion to the remarkably low death rate in many of the model dwellings in that city. In particular thero is fonnd iu the house* of the Metropolitan Asso- oiatiofi for Improved Dwelling* of tho Working Olasse*, which is now in its fifty-third year, a death rate of only 0.64 to 1000. The inmates of these houses number 6430, and are housed in fourteen blocks in different parts of the city. This rate ia only half the rate for the whole of London.
An attempt is being made to galvan¬ ize into new life .the mediieval city of Bruges, Belgium, and to shake olT the rust and dust of its long ages of quiet by converting it into a seaport. A great canal is now being ent from the seashore at Ostend to Bruges, a distance of twenty miles. Electric power is being extensively -uliiired, and this is the flrst application on n grand scale of this agency in Bel¬ gium. Not only are the huge 250-ti)n cranes operated by electricity, bul electrio power is being applied to the brick-making machinery, and during the present year will turn ont about 18,000,000 brick* for the sluice works and docks.
The widening market for fruit and the action of the railroad companies in giving the growers facilities for reach¬ ing the market in the great centres ol populations have led to more serioiif attention lieing given to horticulture in many parts of the country, some of which are more or less remote from the large cities, notes Ihe New York Hun. Tha conditions iu tbe central West, the Southwest, and ou the Pacific Slope have beeu rellecteil friJiu time to time in these paragraphs. Just now grape-growiiig, which for some time has lagged in Florida, has reached a»i prosperous an activity about Orlando that grapes are beiug shipped from the Niagara vineyards at tho rate of a carload a day.
In exploiting its resources Kansas is now directing attention to its min¬ eral dep(^sits and their possibilities. It produces coal, bnilding stone, zinc, oaii, gypsum, oil, gas, cement, min¬ eral water and clay, the output of all theae in 1806 being worth about $5,- 000,000. This was triple the output ot 1886, and is regarded as promis- ing mnob fur the future. The State aland* first in the production of gyp¬ sum, ita output being more than dou¬ ble the combined product of all tbe other States,   Michigan  excepted.    It

Tillie's    sister Alice     was    the "f a sh i o nab 1 e" dr(*R8inoker        i n Knselieiry    row, ami Tillie was her assistant.    Hhe cut I lilt ton holes, sewed straight seams ou tli(>      machine, pulled out basting threads,  helped to cook    the    uieiils, washed dishes, swept floors   ami read the   news to   her   brother   (icotfrey. There   hud   been   ii  lime   when   the Hlttter   girls hiid   looked    upon   (leof- frey   os   a    helper    and   a   jirotector in  the   stni^'ule with   poverty,   which was the only legacy thoir parents bad left  them.    But that   was  before the accident   ou   the   new    schoolhouse, where he was working.  After thot  his arms were limp and   lifeless, his back was bent and his  eyes wero bad, and the   poor  boy,   with   the    hope   and strength  of   his   seventeen   yeors   all blighted, became   nothing  but   a bur¬ den to his faithfnl sisters.
There were o good many tiinei) when Tillie worked herself into the belief that she was a niiirtyr. Then she secretly rebelled against the hardness of her lot; but, with the exception of commenting on the condition of her finger tips, she considerately refrained from complaining in Alii^e's presence. But when they took the baby ta raise she felt that she was justified iu open rebellion.
"It's a downright shame," she cried out, bitterly, when Alice brought the little fellow home with her from Iho funeral and announced her intention of keeping him. "I declare, I won't put up with it. Just as if we haven't hod a hard enough time already with out this happening. It's been noth¬ ing but work, work, work, all my life I've never hod Ihe tilue nor the money to go to places and do tbiugs like other girls. I've never said anything about liow I felt, for I supposed you and UeolTrey were suffering just as much as I did. But when it comes to saddling ourselves with other peo¬ ple's children, I won't stand it."
"But he's 6ur own nephew," per¬ sisted Alice, gently. "Onr own sis¬ ter's child. Just before Clara went sho called nie in and nsUod mo to tiike him and bring him up, und I've got to do it. llemember, he is an orpliaii as well OS ourselves, Tillie. If we dou't care for him, who will'i'"
"I don't know," said Tillie, stiffly. "I suppose you i^on put hini in on asy¬ lum or an institution. Tlint is where other hollies go when their fathers and mothers die, nnd he's uo better than the rest of theiu. There's one thing sure, we cnn't hove him. One more mouth to feed und one more body to clothe means a good denl lo poor folks like us. And we need so many things, now, too. Besides, who's going t<i toke careof him'/ .\ t« o yenr-old boby cnn't very well shift for himself."
"Yes, I know." r(»tnrnod .\lice. "1 thought yon conld take him out for an airing sometimes nnd look after him o little nights and mornings. Ocof- frey and I cnii nioiinge to g*t along some way duri(% the dny. 'rhen va¬ cation will soon be here nnd you will have lots of time to give him."
Tnke core of him nights nnd morn¬ ings and haul him aronud during vo¬ cation I Yes, indeed, I see myself do¬ ing it. I'll strike, that's what I'll do, Alice Slater. I won't turn my hnnd over to help nbout one solitary thing. If you're going to burden yonrsolf with Ironblesome babies you'll bnve to get along the best wuy yuu cou. I iilfan't help."
.\lice sighed and commenced to pare the potntues (or su]ipcr. Tillie took np her Latin reader and tried to study, bill somehow she could mil concen¬ trate her thoughts on the lesson. Through the open door she could see th* baby sitting by the sewing-room window in the midst of some flowering plants that Tillie had cnrofiilly nursed throughout the winter. Me was oboii- nie child, aud he looked so sweet and pretty iu his jiiuk dress and white ruf¬ fled apron tlmt even Tillie's hardened heart was touched, and tho thought was Kirue iu on her mind os she watched hiiu thnt of all tbo flowers blooming there the ilaiutiest und fair¬ est was her little nopliew.
"Why don't you kiss tho bnbv, dear'/" said Alice, as she began to set the table. "IXm't m-t thnt wny. Poor little thing, he has boon so lonesome yesterday and to-day witbout his mother. Clnrn olwnys spoiled him, I guess. He'll get over it sikhi. but it's pitiful uow to SCO how his heart is ' grieved for hor"

Th* system of vertical handwriting adoptetl by the school boards of many ot the larger cities is held to have scored a triaiuph in Boston already iu toruing ont pupils who write rapidly aud legibly, the two prime qnaliflca tiona in ohirngraphy. The paramount virtue in handwriting ts legibility. N, ¦natter how pretty aud artistic hand writing may lie, it it rann,>t lie read easily it falls short of its purpose. This is secured in a conspicuous de¬ gree in the verti.<al syBieui, «hile a majority o( pntnN a>l.l to it ln«th i-Tm- metry and grace. With such results it will not lie necessary for graduates of the public schools to take a course in |>enm*n»hip after they have en- t«.red a store or ollice. as they have frcineutlT l^een re,|iiire,l to do in cities Ihat l>oast the th,.roughness and •0ei*Dc^    uf    their     public     »ch«o.'

telling him what she thought of him. Even in the midst of her niiger Tillie involuntarily pn-nouiiceil him the pret¬ tiest baby in the wLole world, with his soft brown hair, long dark lushes nnd beont if ally molded face, but the thought dill uot cause her to relent.
"Do you know whut you hove done to me, Hirnm Htewnrt?" she wont on. "You've maile me work my lingers to tho bone." Tillie could not forbear using her favorite expreesion, in spite of tbe fact thnt she hod been do¬ ing compnrnlively little since his com¬ ing. "You kecji me from hnviiig nuy fun. I cnn't go visiting with the girls, but have to lug you aronud every bright day instead." "
()r««it tears were coursing down the baby's cheeks, nnd his Inenst braved with the storm of sobs thnt was nbout t<i brenk. Tillie sow his grief, bnt she went on mercilessly.
"I hnd completed plnns for baring a little pleasure this summer (or the flrst time in iny life, and you hod to come in and knock them all in the head. Hiram Htewnrt, you're the pest of my existence. I'm not going to put up with you auy longer. I'm—going —to—lose—you."
It seems as though the child under¬ stood the import of the words, for he set up o cry thot echoed through that port of the park ond attracted the at¬ tention o( everybody who chanced to be lounging neor there.
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" lamented Tillie. "I've done it now. I ought to hove known better than to get him soared. I must try to (|uiet him some¬ how. There, there, boby," and she assumed o coaxing tone, "don't cry. Tillie didn't mean it. Como on, darl¬ ing, and go to sleep, Tillio'll sing for you."
She took him iu her arms nnd snt down in his corner of the bench. Then, swaying herself gently bockwnrd and forwnrd, she murmured a lullnby with which her own heart hnd often been soothed when henvy with infan¬ tile woes. Tho nftornoon sun was sinking low, and its lost rnys fell athwart the fair toco nestled against her shoulder, when Tillie ceased sing¬ ing and ossiired herself thot tho boby was sound asleep. One littlo hnnd was closed over the ond of the looe scarf at her throat, but she deftly loosed his grasp, and with a dexterity Imrn of a settled determination she slipped him from hor arms to the bench.
Theu she stood up and looked round. That corner of the pork was inomenlnrily deserted. The only per¬ sons in sight were three boys iu o boot, (piite a distance ont on the lake, and o fl8herniau,whowas just returning from the end of tho pier. She watched the Hsherman until he struck int<i a path¬ way leading aputh, then turned to tho bnby once more. One tiny hand was doubled np nnder his head and the other nestled beneoth his chin. There were toor stoins on his cheeks, and even in his sleep his breathing wns convulsed now and then, as though dreaming of Ihe sorrow he hod just liorne.
Tillie gove oue more iiuiek, fright- ene.l glance ot the child on tho bench, theu turned and ran, with the swfft- iiess of o young gazelle, through n deeply sluidod path that brniicbed off from the wide carriageway. Twilight had already settled (lown in the tree- lined walk, nud thero wus no one to watch her flight. Hho hnd nliiiost reached the street, where tho cable cors were running two and fro, before any one crossed her poth. Theu she slacked her speed and wolked out into the wide drive with oppnrent uueon- cern.
Tbe clock in the tower of the railroad depot ot the heod of Kosebcrry row- was striking seven wheu Tillie walked into the kitchen -alone. Supper bail been standing (or hnl( on hour, on.l .Mice olri ..dy hod grown uervoUa   uud
lay there was coustontly before her, nnd she cried out that her heart was breaking. It wns her first grent sin, nn.l the punishment wos terrible.
On the eighth day after "losing" the bnby Tillie walked dejecte.lly through the pork toward the (ntedil sjHit. Her bead wns beni, nml she dill not raise her eyes from the ground till near the fnmilinr bench. Then she Bto]ipeil short with n cry of nlnriii and rubbed her eyes to moke sure she wns nwake. Yes, she was right; she had lost ber mind indeed, for there on that self-snmo bench, dressed in tho snme pink frock, nnd lying in the samo attitude, in the same corner, was the despised bnby.

"He's dead, ami that's his ghost," she cried, faintly; "but I'm going to look at hia pretty (uco once more, anyway."
A moment later she stood beside him, and iu another instant Hirnm Htewart, in flesh and blood, not in sjiirit, was clasped in her strimg young arms.
"My darling, dnrling baby," she sobbe.l.     "I  love  you; indee.l I  do."
There wns a note pinned to his dress. It wns addressed to her. She opened it nnd rend ns follows:
