Plucky Children

A Trenton dentist stopped at the house of Mrs. Duffy, at Lambertsville, a few days ago, to extract some teeth for her. When her children saw the blood Í3suing f rom their mother's mouth they attacked the dentist, supposing that he was doing her severe bodily injury. The boy seized a poker and threw it at the doctor. The doctor dodged just in time, and the poker struck the window, breaking the sash and demolishing the pane of glass. The little girl grabbed the dentist by the coat tail, and nearJy tore it off. So hot was the flght that the dentist had to get out and leave the job unfinished. - PhiladelpMa Times. - ■ ♦ ■ ■ Mr. John Roach, the eminent ship-builder, employed a large number of boiler makers iu New York city who are now out on a strike. Mr. Roach being interviewed on the subject said: "The men who are on a strike in my shops did not ask me for an increase of pay before the strike, but I received a letter f rom some 'headquarters' in the Bowery which was signed by men not on my pay-roll, and men who had never worked for me, telling me what I must pay to the boiler makers in my employ, and threatening a strike unless I acquiesced. "Well, the strike came- wholly directed by the men who had their 'headquarters' in the Bowery- and I requested my foreman, Mr. Quinn, to see some of the leading men. He saw and conversed with six or eight, and they stated emphatically that they were anxious to return to work, but they were afraid of riolence." This is not an isolated case by any nieans. The strike comes f rom outside the shops more frequently than inside. And it is enforced by violence in far too many cases. i m i Adaughterof Ex-Secretary Evarts made herself a favorite in Washington society, not alone by her snowy complexion, gray eyes and golden hair, but as well by her cups of chocolate.

A fellow-student endeavored to help the delinquent youth by prompting him in a whisper, which, however, was so loud as to be keard all through the room. The professor did not interrupt, but when the student stopped of nis own accord, remarked quietly: "Your recitation reminds me of a Spanish theatre, where the prompter is more important than the actor."
