When skies are so wan and cold.

So h*H""" and eajm—I would ask, And defy them, to guess your fear. OUbert la solemn and wise, A wonderful role for him, But eight of bis happy eyes la your own grow dim. Ah! roses of red and white, There's love and innocence, too he pale ones I choose to-night, And lear* all the red for you D'Anglee la waiting the while, I think we are dressed to go Sweet Jessie and Junie smile Through masks of carmine and snow. And now the winds are still, And the skies are at their beat, Well goto the dsnee on the bill- Too andl and the rest masked for the night, Whirl in confusion around Smi log and Jesting and light, Music snd revelry's sound. Flowers and ftmr.ands so sweet Scatter perfume ae they pass. And vice and innocence meet Alike In the Blare of the gas. Hearts with their burdens of cam, Souls with their burdens of sin. Masted, with their faces so fair, Wait for the dance to begin. And you, with your fear-tossed soul, And the roses overyour heart, Flay out your pitiful role, And dance till the sad notes part With eyea so serene and calm, You stand where the redflowersflow, And I hold the blossoms of balm With petels of perfumed snow. But a mist is before my sight, Ard I turn myflower-wreathedhead From glimmering blossoms white, And flashing of rosea red. For like to the laughing lips That under the rouge are white.

But OUbert tires of the dance, Jessie snd Junie are here D' Vnglee ia ready, perchance. The music is ending, dear. So let ua go with the word. The masqueraders are through, And the eyes of the stars are blurred With tears of the perfumed dew. Ah, see how the planets stare I There's Saturn all white and cold. And Mara with his reddish glare, And Venus of xanthic gold. They smile with a questioning light To tBrow down the roses red, Tear off the blossoms of white, While fragrance and beauty are dead. Sonau. Crrr. MO. SUCH IS LIFE. Away back in memory's halls hangs a pictureyet undimmed, thoughyearshave come and gone since the days long ago when I first knew the reality. An old brick school-house, formerly a church, with its broad doors and great arched windows, their buff curtains fluttering lazily in the summer breeze, forms the principal feature. A back-ground of hazy, purple-green hills, and just to the right a group of grand old walnuts, where daily we held our noon picnics, and wove wonderful garlands to decorate the yellowed walls of the old school room, and in front the great gaping ditch, which in a marvelously-short space of time would swallow up the whole school after the bell tapped for recess but to me the dearest feature of all was the broad old Mississippi in the distance, rolling along in majesticgrand eur, its sparkling wavelets catching the sun's brightest beams, and throwing them back into the old school-house with redoubled brilliancy. From my seat near the window I think I never tired of watching its bright waves glim mer and gleam through the swaying E trees. Here, gentle reader, it was 11 first knew Ethel Raymond, tiny, fair-haired girl of perhaps my own age, always clad in the same pure-white dress with its marvelous number of tucks, and blue silk waist, with low neck and short sleeves setting off her fair childish beau- Suaty r, though sadly out of place in the old school-room, as was the gen eral opinion from the numerous up turned noses and suppressed titter of the little calico-clad damsels whose manners were not nearly so respectable as their somewhat-faded garments. How long it seemed till recess that first morning, sad when it came how we all bounded off to "our grove," as we called the wal nuts, to surround Mat Bronson, who, with an air of superior knowledge, had informed us that the new-comers lived just down by her house," consequently was supposed to know all about them. I pects they must be awful rich to dress so fine at school," timidly sug gested little Kitty Edwards, as soon as we were settled. Rich, indeed!" sniffed Mat "poor ss Job's turkey live in an old shanty Just down below our house ain't got anything in but two or three old chairs, a table snd a stove awful stuck up, too. My ma went over there, the other day, just to see what kind of people they were, and, my land! Mrs. Ray. mond was so high and mighty she hard ly asked her to sit down. She said un der the circumstances she couldn't be very sociable, which means she's too poor ain't going to send her boy to sohool, with her present arrangements she can't, which means he ain't got any thing to wear, you know. Pity he oan't wear the family white, with about half the tucks ripped out it would be just kingenough forhim with all, you know, it makes quite a stylish Sunday dress (or their mother." "Well, I'd be ashamed, MatBronson. to tell such stuff ss that," interrupted 'sue of the girls. WelL you know Tm never ashamed to tall the truth, sad this is solemn fast she's got one of these sewing ma chines. Ton just pull the thread and away goes the tucks it's got a draw string in the waist, and when it'swashed and done up who knows the difference? Row, my dear schoolmates, don't look so horror-struck I tell you all this as a secret, wouldn't tell everybody for any thing as there are only about forty of you, of courseit will neverget out," and, giving her curls a wicked toss, Mat bounded away. Mat Bronson was the acknowledged leader, and I fear the new scholar would have been sadly neglected but for the ever-thoughtful kindness of our teacher, who seemed never to weary in hisEthel efforts entertain and amuse ner during the long recess time. I can see them yes, his dark boyish beauty contrasting with hers so fair and childlike. Ernest SmenoBg our teacher, had come to us lromaneighboringacademy, and,though scarcely more than a boy, had won his wayboth amongparents and pupils. A model of perfection and beauty he seeped to us children. The jetty curls lying in damp rings about his white brow, the great lustrous black eyes and faintly-tinted cheeks made up for his only drawback, a lameness, which al ways made it necessary for him to walk with a cane but we soon grew to look upon the little rosewood cane as apart of our teacher, andprobablywouldnever have associated it with pain and suffer ing hadhe not one day told us of a boy whose reckless propensity for fun and daring exploits had made him a cripple at the ageof 14, and a disappointed man for life. This told in a sad, agitated tone of voice convinced us that the wild, reckless boy was no other than our gentleteacher. Fromthathour wewere not only his admiring, but his warm, sympathetic friends, and when he took little lonely Ethel under his especial can we felt a silent rebuke from one whose good opinion we all coveted, and in a short time all hearts were opened to the little stranger, and when the teacher pitted her in the seatbesideme we grew inseparable, and those long, brightsum met days seldom found us apart Ethel's mother, a delicate, tie woman, seldom went out. Missing Ethel from school several weeks after the commencement of the fall term, I begged permission to go and see what was the matter. This I readily ob tained and, as it was the day before Thanksgiving, also permission to invite my little friend to spend the morrow with me. The dead November grass may have writhed and crackled under my flying feet, but you may be assured none grew as I sped to Ethel. How the bright eyes shone when I told her! though speedily followed by a shade of disappointment ss she said: "Oh! if I only could, but I can't Mamma is sick and, anyhow, I haven't anything to wear." Oh, well soonfixthat. You know that red polka dot of mine? I just hate it, because I can't breathe but what a hook flies off, and I believe it will just fit you. because you ain't as fat as I am, and I know mamma is tired of sewing on hooks, and will be ever so glad for me to give it away, so you're all right there.,r "Oh. but mamma, you know she's real sick! She just coughs all night, and is so hot Sometimes I wake up and hear her moan. Then I almost scream, I'm so 'fraid she's going to die!" and the great eyes dilatedwithhorror. Si Oh, Ethel yon always get scared so easy. Everybody gets sick sometimes, you know. Yon oome to-morrow, ana when everybody's gone Til get myand mammatocome over and see ner and bring her something nice—a Thanks- 'ving dinner, you know. Won't that nice? Now run and ask hor I must go.* Remember, the dress '11 come to night" The next morning, among the first arrivals, was my little friend. How proud and happy I felt when I saw how universally petted and admired she was by the other guests! Thatwas a bright day to us, but when my mother re turned, after accompanying Ethel home, she threw a shadow into our hearts by the sad information thatMrs. Raymond's was a hopeless case of consumption, and the probability was that Ethel and her brother would be motherless before the spring. "Poor, poor children," she went on that Harry of hers is a noble boy as kind and gentle a nurse as a woman. They are a very refined family, though so oppressed by poverty. Poor Mrs. Raymond!—hers is a sad story. She told me to-night a good deal of her past history. It seems she was very young when married, as was her husband!. He had a nice little sum of money to put into business, but all hisbusiness qualifi cations at that time consisted of a di Sloma from a leading business college, ust then he received what he consid ered a very brilliant offer, in the shape of a partnership with an old, experienced business man, who had more business reputation than eithermoneyor honesty, as it afterward proved. Tothis arrange ment an older brother of Mr. Ray mond, who was very wealthy, and their only living relative, was violently op posed did everything in his power to prevent what, he insisted, must prove only a disastrous experiment, but all without avail the offer seemed so very flattering, considering Mr. Raymond's limited practical experience, that it was accepted without hesitation. So thefor new firm started, and everything was highly satisfactory for a time. Peace and plenty smiled upon their home, and when little Harry and Ethel came they thought their bliss complete. But the cloud burst unexpectedly. One morn ing they wakened to find the new firm bankrupt, themselves penniless, the partner having sailed for Europe the night before, takingwith him all surplus funds. What to do the young husband and wife knew not, but, after numberless unsuccessful attempts to find employ ment, Mr. Raymond decided to appeal to the older brother, and received in re ply a few words, stating that, as he had offered advice before only to be rejected, he certainly would not have the im pertinence to offer more, but would sim ply say, as he had furnished the capital and his partner the experience, it was to be presumed the result was satisfactory to both, as he couldnow boast of the ex perience while his partner was doubt less enjoying the capital, and in conse quence of that experience was far more competent to take care of himself than several years ago. Hence interference on his part was entirely unnecessary. Justafterthisyoung Raymondreceived an offer to go to Europe onrather a mea gresalary. Hoping to find his miscreant partner he accepted, but in a few days after sailingthe vessel was wrecked and the young mother with her two little ones was thrown on her own resources. She struggled on, and with a few music scholars succeeded in keeping wantfrom her door till, on account of failing health, she was forced to seek change of climate, but too late as the winter days wore on she grew worse, and one bright morning in the early spring there flut tered from the door in the soft, balmy breeze the heavy black crape, which told the sad news thatdeath had entered the little cottage and left Harry and Ethel motherless, but not without a friend some one, whom we afterward learned was no other than Eugene Em erson, ever onhandwith somekind, deli cate attention for the invalid, had writ ten to the brother, and at the funeral the little mourners were led by a tall, stately-looking gentleman who, it was whispered, was their rich uncle, come to take them away, which proved true. The next morning, our childish hearts almost bursting with grief, Ethel and 1 said our good-bys over and over again ere the great lumbering old stage coach carried her away to be the daughter of her rich uncle, who expressed his inten tion of adopting both the children, he being childless and entirely alone in the world. Years glided by and an occasional let ter from Ethel descriptive of the new life, speaking at first kindly, and then affectionately, of the uncle, whom she soon learned toloveandwho, sheassured us, throughnnselflsh kindness snd affec tion, was endeavoring to make amends tojjthe children for neglect of the par- Sinoe that bright spring day when I bade Ethel good-by had rolled twelve years, when one morning a letter from was placed in "my hand—still Ethel Raymond, but instead of the lovely child of poverty a brilliant, beau tiful and accomplished woman, an heir ess and the pet of society. Just having returned from Europe, she had written to me to come to her. It was an affec tionate, merry letter, descriptive of the gayeties of society life, containing a full account of the last conquest ©*©., and finally ending up with an imperative de mand for my presence at her home Thanksgiving, saying her uncle had given her full liberty to invite what guests shechoseforthat day, "whichwill be yourself, uncle, brother Harry and myself. You see I want only those whom I love for my first Thanks giving at home after so long an absence —kind of a family reunion, you know. And now, dearest "she added, "unless you wish to entail a lifelong misery up on your old friend you must be sure to oome." I handed the letter over to mamma with a smile, who, after reading it through, quietly remarked, "Well, my dear, I think you can go." Oh, mamma!" I cried, "go! when I haven't a thing fit to wear." For the same years that had brought wealth and luxury to Ethel Rapmond had brought poverty to me. My dear, I think you speak rather sweepmgly, do you not? I seems to me that you have a very nice black cashmere which will do very well for streetandchurchwear. I know,ofcourse, that your wardrobe is not what a young lady would wish on entering fash ionable society, but, my dear, it is all you have and, you know, a lady will appear a lady under all circumstances. Go, child, and enjoy all you can. You remember Ethel once spent a Thanksgiving with you under similar circumstances, only you were children then and I presume she hasnotforgot ten it, and a week or twolaterfound me domiciled with my friend, Oh, thehap py days lived over again within -the sacred precincts of our own room! It was here, the morning of that memor able Thanksgiving, that we had both suddenly subsided into silence after one of our extended conversations. Ethel, seated upon a low ottoman, just opposite my favorite perch on the sideof the bed, was busily engaged in undoing the long, heavy braids of her hair, which, when loosened, fell ingreat golden wavesabout her shoulders. Suddenly turning, she merrily cried: "Why those piercing orbs of midnight darkness fixed upon, this innocent countenance, as if topierce the very depth of my inmost soul "Don'tbetragic, dear, I wasonlyoccu pied with my own thoughts," I inter rupted. A penny for your thoughts, then." "Well, my dear, I was just wonder ing how soon that ardent admirer of •yours, Col. Blackwell, of the million and mustache, is to claim that little, white hand the symptoms are quite alarming-, it is time the case WAS reported." Marry Col. Blackwell, is that what you mean? That will never be. .No,rope never I she added, with a little shiver. I presnmeyouhavediscovered theColonel's standing with my uncle, who hasbeen anxious for years for an alliance be tween the two families. The Black wells, you know, are a very aristocratic and wealthy family. The Colonel is handsome, intelligent, good, everything in fact that theworld would unanimously vote a good match but, my dear, she added, with something of a bitter smile, I am so fooliBh as to think that there is another requisite to happiness which the world usually leaves out of consideration, and that is love, and as I possess none of that (to my happiness, necessary) commodity my uncle's ambition must be sacrificed and my expectant friends disappointed." "Well, Ethel, pray inform us what kind of a man is to succeed, when the elegant, accomplished and fascinating Colonel fails." Well, I am sure I don't know. I sometimes think that necessary little or gan called the heart was left entirely out of my composition, and, consequently, doubt a capability of any unusual amount of affection and, under the cir cumstances, it were better for Ethel Raymond to tread life's pathway alone than to be an unloving wife, a handsome husband and elegant establishment to the contrary. Do you know I some times think," she added, musingly, "had the gentle voice and tender smile of Eugene Emerson, our boy teacher, been known to me in maturer years, things might hav«— "Ah, indeed!" I interrupted, with a merry laugh. "So, after all, it is not the lack of affection that is so disastrous to our friend, the Colonel. Only in the wrong direction that's all. Come, now, confess. Confession, you know, is good the soul." "No, no you are too fast. I was only a little child in those days, you will remember." WeD, then I am to understand the only serious effect then was to destroy any germ of affection whichmight spring up in after years." "Well, perhaps I believe you al ways did possess the faculty of tracing things down to a fine point/' Where is he I inquired. Do you know anything of him "I have heard nothing for a long time. He used to write to me occasion ally in my childhood days, and once when in the city had the audacity to call, as my uncle expressed it, of which fact I was not informed for some time after. Then my uncle told me that he thought it best that our acquaintance should end, and, I presume, gave him to understand the same, as I have never received any letters since. He is now editing a country newspaper somewhere in the West, I believe, and I occasion ally find articles from his pen in our leading scientific journals, which even uncle is forced to admit are very fine. But come, my dear if we gotochurch this morning we must hasten our pre parations." In a few moments I was ready, wait ing for Ethel, who, in her navy blue silk, velvet cloak, ermines, and jaunty hat with its long, waving white plume, was indeed a fair picture to look upon, as she caught up the long train of her elegant dress, preparatory to starting. Little we thought of the disaster that was to befall that same train ere our return. When service was over we started home in a great hurry, as it was very late. I had just landed safely on the other side of the crowded street when, hearing a terrific whoa from the car driver, I turned just in time to see Ethel caught from under the very horses' feet. She had hurriedly crossed the track just in front of the car when her dress caught and jerked her back, and in another moment she would have been trampled under the horses had not a strong arm caught her while the car passed on, tak ing almost the whole of the soft, shim mering train with it And, as soon as Ethel was released, I was surprised to see her turn and joyfully extend both hands to the stranger who had so gal lantly rescued her. Retaining one of the hands, he placed it in his arm. and in a moment they were beside me. A glance at her escort assured me that he was no other than the subject of our morning discussion. Of course wo took possession of our old friend, and, calling a carriage, were soon solely deposited at home. It was, indeed, a happy little party that gathered around the dinner table that day. Even Ethel's haughty uncle was very gracious and grateful, and gave our friend a warm welcome. Ah, a merry party we were that evening —Ethel, Eugene. Harry and I—as we sat in the warm glow of the bright grate fire, whose flickering light we would not suffer dimmed by lighted gas how we laughed, chattered, and finally drifted backtothe days of yore. A regular ex- Eis erience meeting we had, each relating or her own varied fortune. But another story I read in the eyes of our friend Eugene as I slipped awav, soon followed by Harry, who found his pres ence sadly ignored. That old, old story, which I afterward learned he had come from his far West ern hometotelltothe blue-eyed Ethel, whose image his heart had ever held and a few weeks later I stood beside my friend that snow-clad Christmas morn ing in the softly-lighted parlor, fragrant with the breath of the lovely white blos soms peeping out from every niche, and nestled down among the holly and ever green, silent witnesses of that short, im pressive ceremony which gave Eugene and Ethel back to each other after the many days when each had thought the other lost—Chicago Ledger. AN Ohio paper of a statistical bent publishes the following item descriptive of an incident which might well have taken place even if it did not: There was so much spitting of tobacco juice at hishouse lecture in Hamilton, Ohio, that Profes sor Proctor took notice of it and made a mathematical calculation in regard to it. "Let us suppose," continued Professor Proctor, "that the moisture extruded in this unpleasing way in Ohio in the course of year would, if uniformly distributed, correspond to the addition of a film of moisture no thicker than a postal card over the entire State. Then if there are but 800 postal cards to the inch there would in 1,000,000 years be formed a sea about 110 yards deep over the entire State. And as in the course of the lec ture I had occasion to speak of the earth's future during 3,500,000,000 years, it would seem tofollow (dreadful thought!) that the sea would rise over Ohio and neighboring States of equal salivary po tentially to a height of nearly 900 miles! Noah's flood was nothing to this." S Arctic CosBBaeres. Prof. Nordenskjold recently lectured before the French Geographical Socie ty, "On the possibility of Naviga tion for Commercial Purposes in the Siberian Arctic Ocean." He summed up his discoveries as follows: "1. The route by sea from the At lantic to the Pacific along the north em shores of Siberia ought to be fre quently navigable in a few weeks by a suitable steamer having aboard ex perienced mariners but it is not very probable, from the knowledge that we actually possess of the Ice sea of Sibe ria that this route will become in its totality of great importance to com merce. "2. It may already be given as a thesis that there exist no difficulties for the utilization as a commercial route of the way by sea between the Obi-Jenisei and Europe. "3. According to all probability the route by sea between the Jcnisei and theLena and between the Lena and Europe can be equally utilized as routes of commerce, but the going and returning between the Lena and Eu can not be effected in the course of the same summer. "4. Ulterior explorations arc nec essary to decide on the possibility of maritime commercial relations be tween the mouth of the Lena and the Pacific. The experience acquired by our expedition shows that in any case there can be introduced by that route from the Pacific iuto the basin of the Lena, in steamers, heavy engines and other effects which cannot be trans ported conveniently on sledges and in wagons. "Many persons will, no doubt, find the views that I have expressed a little too rich in promises. The experience that we actually possess of the parts of the Ice sea situated between the Jcnisei and Behring Straits is in real ity so small that it leaves an ample field for diverse opinions, and it is clear that the question cannot be defi nitely solved except by ulterior ex plorations." How Great Russians got their Names. London Globe. It is necessary to be more careful in the manner that we render Russian proper names, because of the generali ty of them, espcically the more an cient ones, possess a meaning repre senting some characteristic of the founder of the family, or some inci dent in the life of its earliest members. For instance, take the great house of Gledimine, grand prince of Lithuania in the fourteenth century, and which has furnished so many great actors to Russian history. Their patronymic was earned by Michael Ivanowitch Boulgakoff, who was surnamed Golit sa (a garntlet), on account of the gauntlet or mitten of leather he was in the habit of wearing over his woolen «glove9. The origin of the surname of Orloff, borne by so many eminent Russians— among others by Gregory Orloff, the fa vorite of Catherine II. by Mexis Orloff the factotum of the Emperor Nicholas, and by the present Russian ambassador now on leave of absence from his post at Paris—carries us back tothe terrible rebellion of the Russian Strelitz in 1698 at Moscow, and the more terrible re tribution that followed it. The reb els were beheaded kneeling in rows of fifty at a time before trunks of trees strewn on the ground, a good share of the butchery being done by the Czar Peter himself, who struck off scores of Strelitz heads with his own hands.— One of their number owed his life and future fortune to a singular exhibition of coolness and presence of mind. As he was about to kneel before the fatal block he.perceived that it was occupied by the head of a comrade. The story goes that he turned it off with a kick, Baying, "This is my place. Make room for me I" Peter was so struck by his marvelous sang-froid that he gave him his pardon and took care of his future fortune. Walking-sticks. Walking-sticks for ladies, says the London Qlobe, so we are told by an or acle ofJ fashion, are coming into favor again. Thus does the whirligig of time bring round his revenge for a discarded custom. The Empress Eugenie made the carrying of canes fashionable for her sex during the gay days of the sec ond empire. But back in another cent ury we find the women as appreciative of the walking-stick as ever was Sir Plume, of amber enuff box lastly vain, And the nice conduct of a clouded cane. Ladies advanced in life walked with a staff between five and six feet in height, taper and slender in substance, turned over in the upper end in the manner of a shepherd's crook, and "twisted throughout the whole extent." Some times these wands were formed of a pale green glass, but oftener of wood, ivory, or whalebone. A writer of 1762, speak ing of the most fashionable sticks of this period, says Do not some of us start about with walking-sticks as long as hickory poles, or else with a yard of varnished cane scaped taper, and bound at one end with a waxed thread, and the other tipped with a neat ivory head as big as a silver penny It is. indeed, as an appearance of fashion more than as an appendage of personal utility that we regard the walking-sticks of modern times, though in all ages man has made the sons of the forest contributetohis support under weariness and old age. Questions for a Wife. Do you recollect what your feel ings were immediately after you had spoken the first unkind word to your husband? Did you not feel ashamed and grieved, and yet too proud to ad mit it? Thatwas, is, and ever will be your evil genius! It is the temper which labors incessantly to destroy your peace, which cheats you with an evil delusion that your husband de served your anger,when hereally most required your love. It is the cancer which feeds on those unspeakable emotions you felt ou the first pressure of his hand and lip. Never forget the manner in which the duties of that calling can alone be fulfilled. If your husband is hasty, your example of Eim. atience will chide as well as teach Your violence may alienate his heart, and your neglect impel him to desperation. Your soothing will re deem him—your softness subdue him and the good-natured twinkle of those eyes now filling beautifully with priceless tears, will make him all vour own. An Economical Citizen. A Galveston man in his shirt-sleeves, without any hat, and in a condition that showed he must have run about three miles in as many minutes, stopped a po liceman and told him to hurry up and come along, as there was a tramp at his who refused to leave. The po liceman suggested that, owing to the distance and the exhausted condition of the other party, they had better take a street-car. Take—a—street-car! Pay than the trampI Since when have they put highway robbers on the police? T-e-nc-e-n-t-s! For 10 cents apiece I'll furnish the city with allthe tramps they want!" .. WIT A5B HUMOR. Can any one improve his condition by whining? If not, whine not A prima donna, according to cock ney, is naturally a timid creature, for her art is always in her throat. Croquet, says the BostonCommercial Bulletin, will be popular this season, notwithstanding that it is played out. A young man who has recently taken a wife says he didn't .find it half so hard to get married as he did to get furniture. In some respects the gentler sex far surpass us. No man, for instance, can deliver a lecture with a dozen pins in his mouth. A man has invented a chair which can be adjusted to 8,000 different posi tions. It is designed for a boy to sit in when having his hair cut. The small boy's digestive apparatus *s undoubtedly the nearest approach to perpetual motion that the world has yet known. Marriages in May are said to be un lucky but then so are those in June, July, September, and iu fact all thewill oilier months. A young lady up town repels the domestic slander that she is "fluctu ating." "For I'm always at par—to buy me something." "I am very much afraid of light ning," said a pretty lady. "And well you may be," replied a despairing lover, "as your heart is made of steel." "Here's a letter," said Pat Maloney yesterday, "from tue gurrl, and would ye please be readiu' it to ine wid yer ize shut, that ye can't be a-larniu' my secrets."

A Bohemian of the first water was recently turned outof his lodgings and installed iu a miserable little room absolutely without furniture. He met a friend and said to him, "Lend me a chair." "What for?" was the answer. "My dear sir, I should be so ashamed it burglars should come into my room!" On returning from the theatre, the Thompsons find their housemaid in great distress, with her arm bound up in her apron. Mrs. Thompson: What is the matter, Have you hurt your hand?" Ann: "W-w-w-worse than that, ma'am!" Mrs. Thompson "Not broken your arm, I trust?" Ann: "W-W-worse than that." Mrs. Thomp son: "Good heavens!—what is it?" Cook: "The fact is, ma'am the silly girl has been tryin' on your new bracelet, and none of us knows how to get it off again!" A very fashionable lady, who fair ly dotes on her children, and is very particular about their toilets, had a narrow escape last Sunday from losing one of her darlings. It "was leaning out of a third-story window, when it lost its balance, and in a moment more it would have been dashed to pieces on the crowded pavement below. For tunately the mother seized it just as it was disappearing over the window sil1. lasping the saved cherub to her breathless breast, the fond mother ex claimed, as tears of gratitude flowed from her uplifted eyes: "If that child had fallen into the street with that dirty dress on, I would never, never have forgiven myself." And she pro ceeded to dress it up in style, so that, come what might, the family would not be disgraced. Scurvy. The successful expedition of Pro fessor Nordenskjold has proved that the shores of the Arctic sea arc not so inhospitable as has been generally supposed. Perhaps the most interest ing of the minor discoveries made by the learned explorer is the finding of a new remedy against the dread of all navigators and the particular scourge of arctic expeditions—namely, scur vy. It appears that there was not a single case of this disease during the whole voyage and this remarkable fact is due, not to the employment of lime-juice, and other anti-scorbutics in ordinary use, but to the use of a curi ous little berry, hitherto unrecognized, produced by a plant which finds an ephermeral existence in the snow and ice during the short arctic summer.— The berries are found in great abund ance, and are said to be a favorite fruit with some of the natives of the great ice world. Its flavor rescembles that of raspberry, but is more acid. The mode of preparation adopted on the voyage of the Vega was to dry the berries and then preserve them in the milk of the reindeer, which was then allowed to freeze. In this state the fruit can be preserved for an indefinite period. Hidden Harts* Many a babe getsa wrench from lov ing hands that might account for the sudden attack of spasms the day after, or for hours of fretlulness that no coaxing seems to soothe and no medi cine appears to reach. Fall from lit tle perambulators while iu charge of nurses, though they leave no outward and visible sign iu the shape of cuts orbruises,may have inflicted something worse by far than cuts or braises would have proven to be. Cases have occurred, frequently where infants have had falls of which nurses have not told, and no marks from which were visible to the eye, but which made the child unaccountably fretful for weeks, until curvature of the spine told its frightful story. For this rea son mothers cannot be too careful in handling their little ones and looking after them personally, rather than trusting so much to hired nurses. TRANSPDANTTNO IN THE NIGHT.—A gentleman, anxious to ascertain the effect of transplanting at night, instead of by day, made an experiment with the following results: He transplanted ten cherrytreeswhile inbloom, commencing at 4. o'clock in the afternoon. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while those transplanted in the dark maintained their condition fully. He did the same with ten dwarf trees, after the fruit was one-third grown. Those transplanted during the day shed their fruit those transplanted during the night perfected the crop andshowed no injury from having been removed. With each of these trees he removed some earth with the roots. The inci dent is fully vouched for, and, if a few similar experiments produce alike re sult it will be strong argument to hor ticulturists, etc., to do such work at night.—Floral Cabinet. WHEN the Greeks were about to sail for Troy, Menelaus bought a bundle of straw and put it carefully away in his cabin. "What is that for?* asked Agamemnon. To tell us the direction of the breeze," answered Menelaus. "You'recrazy," said Nestor. "Why," remarkedMenelaus." don't straws show which way the wind blows?" Stamping by fire. New York Commercial Advertiser. The Postofflce authorities of this city think they have arrived at a prac tical and thorough solution of the question of prevention of second use of postage-stomps, which is a fraud that has been practiced by washing off the ink with acids after "the stamping of a first use. Persons engaged in this cheating of the Government have been very ingenious in devising modes of doing the unlawful washing. A new process of cancellation has been invent ed, and brought into use in the Post office here. It is to scorch the stamps. Specimens of the new process shown byAssistant-Postmaster Picrson,sho\vs very effective work against the fraud of second use of the stamps, the can cellation mark being absolutely indel ible. The imprint made is just tho .same as that made by the ink-stamp, except that it is slightly burned or scorched instead of being an ink im pression. The new stamp is heated by gas, the new metal being thin, to al low of both quick heating and rapid cooling. It is used the same as an ink stamp but with a saving of time that enable the person using it to do twice the work that an ink-stamp would. It can be used in all offices where gas is burned. An experienced hand with an ink-stamp cancels about 126 stamps per minute. [Allegheny Evening Mall.| A Fatal OnUxwlon. "Do you know that neither of the plat forms suits me," said one of our old sub scribors to us the other day. "As both parties seemtowant health, strength and long lite, more than anything else, they cannot do better than have the Ham burg Drops and St Jacob's Oil planks included. With these they can weather all storms political and domestic as well as dyspeptic and rheumatic." His logic was good and convinced us. She Would Do. A young woman recently answered an advertisement for a dining-room girl, and the lady of the house seemed pleased with her. But, before engaging her, there were some questionstoask. Sup pose," said the lady, "now only sup pose, understand, that you were carry ing a piece of steak from the kitchen, and by accident should let it slip from the plate to the floor, what should you do in such a case The girl looked the lady square in the eyes for a moment be fore asking: "Is it a private family, or are there boarders'?" Boarders, an swered the lady. Pick it up and put it back on the plate," firmly replied the girl. She was engaged. [Allentown, Democrat.
