THE SONG THE KETTLE SINGS.
Sweet are the songs by lovers sung
As they the old, old story tell,
And sweet the croon of bees among
The clover blossoms and asphodel,
And glad the notes the skylarks trill
At dawn upon their buoyant wings,
But dearer, softer, better still
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
How strangely come to us again
The pleasant scenes of other days;
The happy golden moments when
We went our simple childish ways
When all life's journey lay before
And gayly beckoned us with smiles,
Ere we had left our father's door
To go the many weary miles!
There by the broad, deep fireplace sit
The aged ones with silvered hair:
Across each face the flashes flit
And faded cheeks grow flushed and fair,
And strangely mingle smile and tear
As memory in fondness brings
The old, old (lays the while they bear
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
The embers throw their ruddy gleam
On childish figures blithe and free
That watch the changing glow, and dream
Of wondrous things that are to be.
The future one glad chime of bells
Of golden bells, hope ever rings.
And through their music strangely wells
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
Oh, all the joys my heart has known
And all the hopes of those to be
Within the kettle's gentle tone
On gracious wings are borne to me,
And gladness which my care beguiles
Comes bubbling up from youthful springs.
And whispers from the peaceful isles
Are in the song the kettle sings.
Would you become a youth again
Back in that dear old home once more?
Trade all the wisdom sorry men
May have for childhood's happy lore?
Oh, would you feel the morning dew
Of rest upon life's tired wings?
Then dream with nhe and listen to
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.

Dressamakers and Their BIills.
"I wish," said a dressmaker of tnxd
est means, "that the state legislature
would pass a law making it obliga
tory on rich people to pay their
debts to p)ersons who have to work
for a living. The fashionable wottl
an who lives in a palace and has
every luxury that money can buy
seldom, if over, gives a tho-ught to
the necessities of those who work
for her. The modest bill which at'
c'mpanies the new dress ,or the elab
orate laundrywork which she has or
dered is thrown carelessly to one
side and probably forgotten in a few
minutes. Yet that neglected hill
may mean much to the lperson to
whom the money is due. It may
mean the loss of food :antid wttrinth to
an entire fanily. Take my own
case for instance. I have a good
trade and a liberal class of c(ts
tomers, but I began without any
capital, and my earnings have been
the sole deplendence of a family of
four, and one an invalid. But I
have been forced to turn and twist.
to economize and pinch myself, sitm
ply because some of my customers
insist on taking from one to sLx
months' credit. It seems wrong that
those rich people should force tme to
carry them along on my meager
earnings, and yet I am afraid to re
monstrate for fear that I will lose
their trade altogether." --New York
Times.
Clilnese Notlin. or Color.
The philoso)hy of Chinese house
painting is truly tuiious. though per
haps the interest which attaches to
this subject lies more in the restric
tioins imposed upon thle manl with pot
and brush than in the free exercise
of a decorative art, for among Ce
lestials art is eminently utilitarian.
We enjoy our colors: the Chinese put
theirs to work. More, in house paint
ing green and red are, so to speak. de
rigueur; other (olhors would be un
propitious, unlucky. ill omened. And
even if the average Chinaman (bal
ancing himself as best he can upon
the superstitions and practices of
ages) is ignorant of the precise
grounds of his belief, he adheres none
the less rigidly to the canon.
As Pythagoras taught, that music
was the first cause of tL e universe,
so the Chinese have pinned their faith
to the absolute efficacy of color, en
dowing it with powers quite beyond
the laws of chemistry or physics. In
deed, poor John may be said to live
and die by the color scale. -Henry B.
McDowell in Harper's.
Eighty-eight Degrees Below Zero.
The coldest known sl;ot on the
earth's surface is on the Eastern
slope, a shelving mountain that runs
down to near the water's edge. on
the eastern bank of the Lena river,
in northeast Siberia. The spot in
question is nine and a - fourth miles
from Serkerchoof, about latitude
67 north and longitude 134 east.
Dr. Woikoff, director of the Russian
meteorological service, gives the
minimum temperature of the place
as being 88 degs. below zero. It
is a place of ahnost perpetual calm.
In the mountains near by. where
windy weather is the rule, it is not
nearly so cold. -St. Louis Republic.
A General Favorite.
Whether plainly boiled, like the
humble potato, served in a snow
white napkin, and eaten with shav
ings of cold butter, or inlaid in tiny
blocks like miniature black dice into
goose liver, turkey's breast or pigs'
feet-or, again, shreded delicately
over the creamy surface of supremes
de volaille-the truffle, despite its
costliness, is deservedly a favorite
esculent throughout the civilized
world.-London Telegraph.

LONG DISTANCE RIDES.
A Fai orite Subject with Poets and
Writers of Romance.
Long distance rides have always
been a favorite subject with poets and
writers of romance. There is some
thing that seizes the imagination in
the idea of a solitary horseman spur
ring on his steed in a race with time,
spurred on himself by terror, by ha
tred or by devotion to duty. But al
though they willingly treat of him it
cannot he said that they often succee: 1
in making him very real. We all know
how Dick Turpin rode to New York.
We also know how Mr. Browning
brought the good news to Ghent
after a fashion almost as apocryphal
as the news itself.
The recognized method, both in
poetry and fiction, generally pro
duces much the same picture. The
gallant, generous healted animal
gallops on and on with no abate
ment of speed, for the' rider is al
ways apparently injudicious enough
to force the pace the whole way.
Soon after the accomplishment of
some hundred odd miles at full gal
lop we learn that the noble steed be
gins to show signs of distress-as
well he may-his "heaving flanks
are wet with foam," his "blood red"
nostrils are wide spread, and his
labored breath comes in great gobs.
One might imagine from the de
scription that the'horse had stopped;
but no, he is still galloping, heaving
flanks and all. One might also sup
pose that the rider, perceiving these
symptoms, would pull up and give
the horse a chance; on the contrary,
at this juncture he makes a passion
ate appeal to the horse's better feel
ings-an appeal which is ccuched in
language too beautiful to be unavail
ing. And so the poor boast gallops
on for another hour or so until he
arrives at his destination and drops
dead with a broken heart.
Even men who have ridden their
horses to a standstill in the hunting
field at the same irad pace will fail
to recognize the accuracy of the de
scription. In the case of a long dis
tance, where it is the course and not
the pace that kills, the picture is
ludierousy' incorrect. Well, it must
be confessed that the reality is
rather ugly and does not lend itself
easily to the uses of romance; the
sight of a man and his horse crawl
ing painfully onward, the former
still wearily persisting in the us .less
cruelty of the spur, while the latter,
painfully dragging one foot behind
the other, droops his head miserably
on the hard jerked rein, is not one
to inspire pleasurably the readers of
romance.-London iSpectator.
Spread of lhe English Language.
In 100 years the United State's will
probably have as many inhabitants:
as China, and it is not likely that
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
the Cape will fall much short of half
their total, especially if England be
reckoned with them. Some have in
deed been found to maintain that
English will not be the lan.,;a nuae of
the whole even of the United St-ates,
while others point to thoe vi';orous
vitality of the French spoken iby the
French Canadians and the recru les
cence of the Wel'h in the British
islands as hints that languages die
hard. But it is implossible to sup
pose that such considerations can of
feet the main question.
There are already signs that Eng
lish is beccming the literary lan
guage of Europe. Professor Vam
bery, a Hungarlan, published his au
tobiography first in English dreiss.
The Dutch author cf '-The Sin of
Joost Aveliig" wrote his novel, "An
Old Maid," in English, and the author
of "The Crhustac a of Norway." him

obtain the largest possible circulation
for his book it will be issued in the

Two Wiomen Who Live Together.
Cynical people who like to talk
about the meanness and general in
humanity of women to each other
should take notice of the case of
Eleanor Kirk Ames and Catherine B.
Le Row.
These two women have lived to
gether in peace and harmony for
nineteen years. Mrs. Ames is the
editor and proprietor of Eleanor
Kirk's Idea, a weekly paper for wom
en, and Miss Loe Row is the principal
of the girl's high school in Brook
lyn.

"You sit on your horse like a
butcher," said a pert young officer,
who happened to be of royal blood,

"it is because all my life I've been:

Blor'dless Italian li:attles.
As a rule the art of war was prac
ticed in 1420 with a little too much
regard for rules; it was hide and
seek behind specific bulwarks rather
than warfare. As Voltaire says, the
soldiers of the land were distributed
between such and such condottieri as
if they \:wee I ;"fc:::icnal harvesters.
The ca:,tai:in f lmercenaries upon
one side tried his est to outmaneuver
the (antai:, o" merncenaries on the
other side. if he nucceeded in getting
the enemy it:i,: a corner from which
he couhll n:t escape, except by a
desperate engagement absurd to
think of, he sent off a bombastic tale
of victory to his employers and
asked for an increase of pay. And
to make sure that his success should
furnish no excuse for a cessation of
hostilities and the signing of treaties
of peace (which meant dismissal) he
straightway shook hands with the
captive general and set him and his
army at liberty, so that the campaign
might be continued.
This was the light in which the
condottieri viewed their responsibili
ties. Nor was it difficult to live
through a career of battles without a
wound at a time when such counsel
as the following was esteemed sage
enough to offer to the stripling sl
dier: "You must know that to secure
yourself against artillery you mue.t
be either out of its reach or behind a
wall, or behind a rampart. And,
moreover, see that the wall be thick
enough," etc. -Macmillan's Maga
zine.
What a Farmer A'eomp!ished.
From a farmer in Virginia some
years ago I received a request th-tt
he might send me a package of col
ored sketches of wihl flowers and
that I would verify or rectify his de
termination of their names.
Inquiry developed the f:at that he
had reached adult age as a furmCr
when he began to feel the need of
some subject of thought and interest
outside of his daily work.
Without any scientific help or
knowledge he set about coilcting
and naming the birds of the Shenan
doah valley. Not satisfied with
stuffed specimens he conceived the
idea of painting the birds he collect
ed. With no artistic knowledge or
instruction he ordered paints and
brushes and set himself at work, and
today there are very few artists in
the country who can paint birds
with so much of artistic grace and
scientific accuracy as he.
After a few years. having trans
ferred to paper all the birds of the
region, he procured a 'Gray's Man
ual" and began to study the plants
of the valley, first determining their
names and then painting them. He
accordingly sent on a package of
colored sketches, artis tically attract
ive and so true to nature that theren
was not the slightest doubt as to any
of the 750 species representedi, while
his own unassisted determina tions
were so accurate that not a dozen
names needed to Ihe altere:. -Pro

Giving a li(ok a Name.
One couldn't very well l: .e ai'
arithmetic or a geography alhiuring
by a title or introduce a work on
conic sections with a catchword, and
histories iandl scientific bo,(ks gniicnr
ally are best descrilbed by the plain
est sort of title. It would be foolish,
for instance, to send a grave account
of the wars between the Y1orkists
and Lancastrians out into the world
as "The White Rose and the Ped."
It would be unfair to the Iatrinis of
circulating libraries, for one thing,
who would probably take the book
to be a now story by FRita or Tr.e
Duchess. And yet such dignified
tomes as "A Century of Co-nflict" or
"The Holy Roman Empire" gain
something from the splendor of their
baptism. In philosophy, too, a tak
ing title has sometimes been origi
nated. Darwin's "Descent of Man" is
a case in point; Schopenhauer's "'Die
Weltals Wille and Vorsteilung" is
another, although it is hardly so
captivating as the "Philosophie des
Unbewussten" of Eduard you Hart
mann.-Blackwood's Magazine.
Looking for His 'Money's Worth.
In Dundee on one occasion a little
gallery in the hall where Mr. Max
O'Rell was lecturing was thrown
open to the public at sixpence. He
warned the manager that he was no
attraction for the sixpenny public,
but the manager would have his way.
,"The hall was well filled, but not
the little gallery, where I counted,"
says Mr. O'Rell, "about a dozen peo
pie. Two of these, however, did not
remain long, and after the lscture I
was told that they had gone to the
box office and asked to have tieir
money returned to them. 'Why,'
they said, 'it's a swindle; it's only a
man talking!' "-London Tit-Bits.

THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THE HAIRPIN.
Every Woman Knows Her Own, Just as
She Knows H-er Own ieaby.
Five hundred millions of hairpins
That is what the women (f this
land do annually buy, beg or borrow.
Now a hairpin never wears out. It
sometimes becomes pale and bent
with age. but its avoirdupois is all
there. What therefore becomes of
these successive millions?
During the past ten years 5,000:
000,000 of hairpins have been miade
and sold. Ati present there are only
about 100.000, 000 in circulation.
Now where-where are the other
4,900,000,000? They have been sown
broadcast from Maine to California.
and have left not a trace behind.
Of course some of them are picked up
and restored to their sphere of use
fulness, but most women are as shy
of adopting strange hairpins as they
are of accepting an unidentified
toothbrush. The hairpins therefore
go to make up the flotsam and jet
sam thrown out by the tide of hu
manity and duimpned into the v.-aste
places of the suburbs to form new
town lots.
And, speaking of ha'irpins becomn
ing pale with age, why is it th:=t
when a package of new ones can i.1
bought for a few cents tmost wo:aen
cling to their ola ones until ove yv
vestige of color h:as gone, a:d he
who runs may easily count theiri
gleaming heads?
And, again, can any one exnlain
how it is that every woman knows
her own hairpins just as she kows
her own baby, no matter how en
meorous and similar its ccminatotn.
And, furthermolre, all women have
at least one pet hairpin. It is re
garded with reli ious c-are frm
year to year. It is the keystone in
the construction of her coiffure.
Other generations of 1,aipi:'.s come
and go, but that particular one isi
looked after too zealously to Ibe lost.
Generosity, fiepcdship, filial dvo
tion-nothing is strong enough to-r
induce a woman to iart with hir
treasure. She will laugh and oi ffer
you her entire stock. but will reserve
her pet. Every boar'ding sachool girl
San tell how she has rescuel her par
ticular hairpin joy from the htreau
-nay, from the very locks of some
friend who had abstracted it.
There are a great many points ol
resemblance between a l'airpin ian' :
a man. A hairpin, for instarce, is a
sort of a liped. So is a man-some
times a very bad sort. Some ha:r
pins are straight, some crooked-a
resemblance to men whichl need not
be pointed out. Extreme sharpness
and extreme bluntness are equally as
disagreeablle in hairpins as in ma.-u
line marnners. B,,th are very unre
liable-not likely to stay where they
are put. And last, but by no means
least, both arec mate for v-women. It
is the reason for their existence, and
but for her they woulth la gui-; on
the top shelves of utter negccet.

As like affects like, so it is with
misers, and gold will go where g;old
is. This is strikingly illustrated by
the act of a celebrated Greek, on:e
Dichmus Dilchinus, a descendant of
the Bizantine emi;er)ors. This man,
by the exercise of extreme niggardii
ness, managed to amass the iumn of
£10,000--an immense fortune in those
tdays. Then came the question, to
whom should he leave it? One day
a distant relative sent him a letter
written upon a square inch of papler.
