THE BEAUTIFUL.
Wrinkled anil old are those hands of
hers,
Hard and full of the seams
Of labor and the years,
Knotted the knuckles
And creased and crinkled
Tko skin on tie backs of them,
Dark veined and large.
With splotches of brown
Between the drawn tendons.
As if seared by tears,
Thick the nails and blunted.
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length of them,
Callous the palms
And lacking ail p inkness and prettifies*.
Old are those hands of hers,
Wrinkled and hard.
But, oh, what a story of
Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell,
Those hands of a woman
Whose threescore years and fen
Have been passed in doing the good
That women do!
—W. J. Lampton in New York Sun.
NEW YORK'S GROWTH.
The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes a paper on the
Greater New York, entitled "Reasoning
Out a Metropolis," for St. Nicholas.
Mr. Ingersoll says:
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearly north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York. It embrace.-, till
square miles of territory and includes a
population of nearly 3,400,000.
Besides these at least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes a population of nearly 4,7)00,000
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter
ests in America, but, excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands?
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is its position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement hero was merely a trading
station that gradually became a small
seaport, like a dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 1700 these were
so nearly alike that he would have been
a wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to bo the two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people iind it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. Y ou cannot force
a city to grow in an unnatural or unsuit
able situation, and it is no easier to pre
vent a city from growing in its proper
place. But the conditions that change a
village into a big town and expand the
town into a city or metropolis are not
the same iu difi.-rent parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the cen
turies; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nineveh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing rapidity, after a long his
tory as small and insignificant places.
As for New York, it has iv ver halted
or gone backward for J moment since
It was fairly started on its career in
1623.
Try Holiliug Tour Breath.
The modern ipikk moving elevator,
when it sinks suddenly, gives many
persons an miplensint, qualmish feeling.
Into a well tilled elevator in a big shop
ping Store t!ie other day stepped i rom
one of the doors two women.
"Do you know." said one of them to
the other, "that if you hold your breath
going down in an elevator you don't
hate that unpleasant leelmg; you don't
feel it at all. "
Of cum-.- •'.y iu the elevator lis
tened ni* . ;y, but nui Iv could
help hearing what she said. Conversa
tion instantly c ■!. and everybody
drew a long breath. The elevator shot
downward in silence.
"Ground floor!" said the elevator
man as ho threw back the door, and me
women streamed out from the car upon
the floor, talking now gayly, and there
was one at 1 - nat wlio said that the plan
was effective.—N \v York :Suu.

.Living In the Future*
A popular lecturer, iu estimating th«
number of people who would inhahi!
this globe I,Ufi 0 years lienee, was asketi
by one iu ti o audience how such a vasl
multitude could bo fed. In reply to this
question h< is quoted as saving: "We
know rot what discoveries may be made
to render th 1 earth more fertile* or tc
increase its productive power, but long
before that time enough of the sands ol
Cape Cod and New Jersey may have
been converted into glass to piacearoof
over all th * 1 land devoted to growing
crops, and i > in ath its skelter Ike fann
er, in a climate of perpetual summer,
may grow Ids crops in continuous sue
cession, and with the waters cf the deep
springs and the lakes under his control
may be f:co fro dangers of flued and
drought as well as Lora tho frosts dud
snows. "
Undoubtedly leug beforo the expira
tion of the l.t 00 years gardeners, farm
ing under glass, will be engaged iu sup
plying not what are today considered
the luxuries of life, but tho very neces
sities. Hothouse fruits and vegetables
may then be raised for the poor and
needy as cheaply as the summer prod
ucts are now grown cn the truck gar
dens in the suburbs of ail our cities.
Fast sections of land may be roofed over
with glass, and a- perpetual summer
climate will make the plants and treet
and vines flourish as in the tropics.r—
George Ethel Lit Walsh in Lippiueott'a.
Such a Nice Old Man!
A young lady was on a railway jour
ney up north. A suave old gentleman
sitting opposite to her presently benl
forward and said, with gentle reproof:
"Excuse me, but do you think i<
wise, when there are so many thieves
about, to carry your pcckctbook so con
spicuously?"
As he spoke he pointed to her purse,
which was projecting slightly from hci
pocket.
The girl, considering the strange!
rather officious, thrust the purse down
into her pocket and thanked him with
stiff reserve, perhaps a trifle scornfully.
At the next station the old gentle
man got out. As he did so ho turned tc
his pretty companion with a polite bow
and the mischievous indulgence of his
years:
"Allow me to restore your pocket
book. You see it was not so hard to
lose as you supposed. ' '
Mo saying, he held out to her the
purse she hud supposed safely reposing
in her pocket. She received it, coloring
with childlike mortification, thanked
him profusely, and her old friend took
his leave with a friendly smile.
A few minutes later, when the man
came round to collect tickets, the girl
discovered her purse to be minus ticket
—and cash.—Pearson's Weekly.

Autita: Mr. Banting's Juke.
The late George von Bunsen, the ac
complished and delightful son of tba
baroness whose "Life and Letters" are
well known iu America, once told me
an anecdote of the late Princess Mary
cf Tuck and the celebrated Banting.
The princess became, in her middle life,
enormously stout, and finding her
weight a burden tried several methods
of reducing it. At last, having heard
much of Banting, she scut for him. Sho
was surprised to see that lie was still
extremely Luiky, and aftir a few civil
preparatory remarks she said, "But
your system has not made you very thin,
Mr. Bautiug. "
"Allow me, madam," said Eanting.
And proceeding to unbutton his coat
ho disclosed a largo wire structure over
which the garment fitted. Inside waa
the real Banting, incased in another
coat.
"This, madam," said he, pointing
with pardonable satisfaction to hia
cage, "was mv size before I commenced
dieting. " He then nimbly disembarrass
ed himself of his framework and stood
before the royal lady exhibiting his ele
gant figure.
Apparently the interview led to noth
ing but amusement, for the good Duch
ess of Teck remained very stout to the
end of her days.—Exchange.
