Faded and grown musty in th ip years, they reposed at tho "jdccuoi of tho detk drawer. "This lily," said Leonard, siRhing, "was the flower given mo Ly Blanche, my first love, when I took from her lips a timid kiss. She was as white as its impeccable petals, fragrant as its pure corolla, graceful as its drooping Ftem, and who knows what might have happened had she not died in the blc-i of youth?" "And the rose?" asked Bayard. "Ah, that wus later 1" Baid Leonard, with a burftof laughter. "Koscttogave me that when fhe first brushed my lips with her own.

Blackwood's Magazine. County mud Country Crop. For, say, CO years tho fashion of the wearing men's and boy's hair in Eng land hna been to cut it shorter and shorter, so that today hair is shorn in many cases as closo as tho barber's shears can get. A closely cropped head, 50 years and less ago, wa3 in country places lookod upon with somo suspicion, for then only prison birds just out of du rauco appeared with closely Bhorn heads, and this cut was popularly known as the "county crop," indicating that the wearer of tho short hair had been bar bered at the expense of tho county. If any man was bold enough to ap pear with his hair cut short, the words "county crop" were thrown at him from all sides, and in tho same manner the school lad who came to school with his hair cut shorter than was the conn try fashion had his life made miserable in tho same way, until such time as his hair had grown again. Tho "country crop" was a different matter altogether. Barbers' work was done on men and boys in many instances at home by moth ers and grandmothors, and their modo was to put a large basin well back on the crown of the head and then shear round the edge of tho basin, making a clean sweep of all tbe hair which pro jected below it This was tbo "country crop." Notes and Queries, Troubles on a Tenement Street. Improvidence works sad havoo with the family exchequer, and tho havoc, cruelly enough, is as great when caused by inculpable ignoranco as by wanton extravaganco. Wasteful cooking, buy ing on installments, mortgaging furni turo at exorbitant rates and other equal ly disastrous practices aro far too com mon. When John Gorman of No. 40 died, his wife received a $100 death benefit. She indulged in the luxury of a $110 funeral and within a year was in want. Overproduction of children is another source of trouble. Whether tho children live or whether they die, they aro about equally expensive. Tho more desporate tho fruni!r circumstances the faster tho childn .i come. And yet nature seems to smile on this form of improvidence in tho long run. Children are transformed to breadwinners by time. Thus tho fam ily, dragged down at first by its surplus of children, is ofton exalted by this very thing at tho end. Comfortable old ago comes qui to as often to tho heads of tho largo families as to tho childless cou pies, siuoo the latter have no breadwin uers to call on when they themselves cease to win bread.

It tells of tho trained horses that play such a prominent part in tho modern lire de partment. Mr. Dellenbaugh says: Mankind loves tho horse, for tho horso has been ono of man's most valuablo nidi and companions in nil countries and in all ages. But there are preferences nmong horses. Some aro prized for their steady working qualities their ability to draw heavy loads. From time immemorial tho quality of speed has thrilled humanity and found an echo In many a stirring poem.
