" Six weeks from te-day." ' That's time enoagh," said Chester, as he pnt on his cap and went eat. He fennd Tom Barker and two or three •f his other cempanions playing baae-ball, bnt they were tired, and glad to have a chat aa tiiey strolled home. They all entered heartily into his project, and promised aa- â- latance. "I tell yon what, ' said Jim Nixen let's have an editor. My big brother will do it, and we'll get tiie fellows at lohoel to send in thbgs, and the best atery shall have the anthet'a name on the title-page, and we'll print ever so many copies. " ' All right," waa the response all arotmd. And then hours for meeting Were appointed, and they resolved to call themaelves " The Steeple-ohaae Printing Club." The way in which pens and pencils danced aboat at the Webster School for a few days was something remarkable. Snob knitting of brows and biting of nalla and twisting of shoulders might have frightened parenta had they seen it but they did not, and so there was no suggestion of nervous mialadiea. Some lessons suffered, and much paper went into the waate-baaket; bnt the editor soon announced the chosen mannsoript, and the boys ceased their literary efforts for the more agreeable task ef printing. But, strange to say, the editor had prcmiied not to reveal the •othor's name. The story was called The NtiB Noah's Ark, and the only name ao- oempanylng it was to be Chester Drayton's, theibeys having voted that aa he waa the donor, thia henor should be awarded him. The rest were contented to see " Printed by the Steeple-chase Club " in very small ^pe down at the bottom ef the last page. Iiere were a good many difBonlties to be oreroome, and the boya worked like beavers under the direotion of a competent bookbinder, whom Chetter's father employ- ed for the purpose. Perhaps the volume waa a little rough, a trifle less beautiful ^M« the finbhed worka of experienced hands, but how prendly did the makers Burvey it 1 Oepy after copy waa turned off, until a goodly little pfle was ready in brijBhtest scarlet and gcfd and never was bey better satisfied than Chester. The Steeple- chase Printing Club went in a lody to the fair â€" a handsome, valiant set of lads, full of fun and nonsense, but of oenrteeus manners and gentle, address. The book waa prominently placarded, and at the table where Blanche Drayten waa aorving, everybody waa saying what a Iffight idea it had been, and how clever and funny the story waa, Have yon read it How do you like H?

Ohestor had a little atruggle with himaelf. So the best of the book waa not hia, after alll This waa indeed an nnwelooBu 'aarpriae but hia batter natare prevailed, and aa soon as he had the dianoe he took Beade'a hand, and said " Yon'ra a perieot briok â€" I beg pardon but there Isn' a boy I knew who could have done it. Baoidee, the not toll- ing waa aplendid, and I jaat wiah my name waa off that cover." " Oh, no, no," said Bessie, laoghing "it is twice tko fun to be anonymons bnt when Blanohe told me that no gbl'a finger waa to be in the pie, I oonld net resiat the temp- tation, and my brother Oeorire waa only too glad to lot me toy.

Portsmouth members of the crew of the famous war- ship Kearsarge at the time of her battle with the Alabama are planning to celebrate the 22d anniversary ef the fight at Boston, Jane 17. Telephone lines are being extended from the towns to the rural hills of Berkshire, for the convenience of summer boarders, whote entertainment ia one of the most prominent industries ef that region, The anappiiiff of a dog at her legs, though no bite waa inflicted, ao frightened a little girl in New Haven the other day that she became ill, efiusion of blood to the head en- sued, and she died in convulsions before morning. The so-ddled peanut factories of Noriolk, Ya., handle and put on the maiket a mUllon and a half dollara' worth of peanata each year. The faotory la sitpply a cleaning, pol- ishing, and sorting estabUshment, and the work is all dene by machinery. Two young women and one yonog man went beat ruing on a recent Sunday, and the boat tipped ever. The young man was tall, and by standing on tiptoe waa able to keep his head out of water, and the girls hung to his hair and ears, and were saved. A three-year-old youngster near Appo- mattox, Dakota, was lost, and, after a search of twenty-four hours, waa found near his heme in a biukier's hole, into whiohhe had slipped feet foremost, and which was deep enough to quito conceal him. While a young womui waa being taken in an exproM train from Beaton to a reform school the other day she eladed her guardian and jumped through a window while the train was at full speed. The train waa stop- ped, but no girl was found, nor has been yet. Until very lately only one oepy ef the first edition of "The Pilgrim's Progresb" was known, but recently two oopies more have been picked up in London at sixpence each. One was immediately sold to the British Museum for £65, and the other to a London publisher for £25. The Kansas City Times does not hesitate to say that the conJng mateh between Sul- livan and Mitchell will be a hippodroming fizzle for gato money, and remarks with con- siderable wisdom that " standing up against Sullivan for thirty per cent, of the gato money is much safer than facing Demnsev for blood." *^' It appeara from a recent book on sea le- gends that their are many ways to raise the wind. You may suspend a he-goat skin at the mast head, you may flog a boy at the mast, you may bum a broom and let the handle tarn toward the desired quarter, you may blow out to sea the dust from the chapel floor, you may stick a knife in the mizzenmaat or soratoh the f eremaat with a nail, and so on. A small Waterbury lad said to a police- man the other day "If you see a ladder up to my bed-room window to-night pleate don't say anytiiing, or take it down. A lot ef us boys are going to sleep together to- night and get an early start to see the circus come into town, and I want to get out ef the house en the sly."
