There vas i:o reason why he should go to the .ld homo. His father ay;is dead. Lis family scattered and poor. It had all happened like a devastating rtorm of the prairies while ho was crossing the sea. Even the funeral lc;d oe currcd before he reach gd Now York. Ten years Lad passed sine? he had learned that ho was an orphan, a pauper, an outcast of fortune. Raoul was a very commonplace man. lie had done the best ho knew, anil was quite sure that it was very had. After a decade o precarious adventure ia a dozen trades ho was now so poor that the anticipation of breakfast was almost as remote and fantastical as hi;; boyish dreams of Leaven. lie went ln:o a cheap cafe near the depot and bought a meal of bacon and eggs, with had. coffee and faded lettuce as tokens of the prodigality of the menu. When he came out the rain was falling in cold, smiting sheets, thcupdi it was May. lie turned up his coat cedni and edged along by the walls toward the old house. . Ten years make a mighty change in the average Ameri can city. Kaoul found outbuilt, one story store fronts in some of the old mansions where the elite of the older day had lived and triumphed. The old comer church, whoso chime of bells was yet fresh in his memory, had been transformed Into a barroom, with wine parlor and a gayety whore once' had been sanctuary and auditorium. Yards which he remembered as green, breath ing spots of Lis boyhood, were black and slimy with the grime of smoke and moisture. He recalled with a bitter smile the stories he had told his cousin Mar guerite in Lcipsie of the glories, the freedom, the opportunity, the repub licanism of his heme. Of what lie Ids there were for her young genius as a musician; of what hope there was for her uu-(orman yearning for personal recognition. "How lucky," thought he, "that she had sense enough to forget my invitation to visit us to visit the Delislcs and know at first hand the splendor which I then thought to be real." Ho slunk dewn the street, bending his thin face from the slanting rain, lie began to wonder where he would, pass tiie night. The wind blew keer. ar.d chiil against Lis tattered front. His heart, warm yet Avith the unbidden memory of Marguerite, Lis yellow haired cousin of the far laud, was not cast down. "I shall pass by the old homo," he thought. Ami th.cn he looked into the gray, ashen, rain-swept lot Avhore he Lad played marbles and flown his kite when' a boy. There was frost in the whipping Aviud Avh'eh swept across it. and Kaoul, alert, now, and yet oblivious of the years, hastened, along till he stood in the wet shadows cf the old house the heme that had been his father's and might have been Lis ow::. The old iron paling that had separated its narrow lawn, from the sidewalk was batten il and rusty. lie looked up at its foggy Avails and felt the tweak of pity at his heart Avhen ho saw that some of its blank, unlight-ed Avindows Avero b: ken.

Dark as it was, he wandered up and back into the old nursery. To the room that had been his mother's. To the library, where his father, in stern but yielding aloofness, had Avritten his journal ol the Avar; to the third story .the guest chambers, where once old Casper Y.'it field, the father of Marguaite, had been a guest of honor.

Wesrsng X O'KELL said a sensible thing not long ago, when he ox plained to the public that the ostentatious mourner is not neces sarily the one who feels the most deeply. Tins has Let a said before', but it is worth saying several times. It is salutary to remember that there is no real merit ::i a long face. There is nothing more heathenish than the way in Avhich mourning is conducted in certain cities of American so ciety. Whether genuine sorrow i.s felt or no., epaantities of crape must bo ay or :i, the house must be darkened, and grief, the mole emor.onal the better, must be displayed, regardless of the pres ence of children or Avorking people avLo need all the pleasantness they can get in their lives. And it is a lr.nieidabie fact that in some cases this sort of thing is more a matter of parade than anything else. It seems hearth ss to say it, and cue could not venture to comment on any particular case in this Avay, but there are people Avho go th. rough all the -outward ceremonies of grief, not so much bace.use they really feel that they have met with a terrible bereavement, as because they like the importance of the occasion, ami feel that people will think that they are noi showing proper son fcitivcuess unless they behave in the tradhional manner. One finds these people saying, Avhen others depart from th routine of mourning: "Well! I don't see how she hears v.n ;-nder it. Sh seems ro cheerful site can't have cared much for her husband. Hut, then, some have so little feeling." It may be that the apparently cheerful person is forcing herself to eudrae without outward sign a crushing Avcighc of sorrow, in order that the lives cf others may not be darkened by her continual tears and lamentations. The woman avIio does this for the rake of her children is re adoring them a service tor wiuea uiey w.a live to tmr.'o: tier. i.;ere is no danger that tney i wiil think she does not care. Children have their own Avays of finding out 1 these things. Mew York e'ewti, Country Trsklog for By President Sliot of HEX a child groAvs up in the country, it gees a natural trr.ir ing in accurate observation. It wants to lind a four-leal clover; it runs to see Avhere the green snake Avent to; tracks the Avocdehue-k to its hole and gets It out; it learns the songs of the birds, and knows Avhen the smelts run up the brooks and Avhen the twilight is ;just right for finding the partridges. In short, the country child gets naturally a broad training in observation. It also has on the farm an admirable training in 0 manual labor. From ire of animals, the successful to oral -welfare of the family. 'In the city all this natural trailing is lacking, and substitutes for it have to be artificially provided. This necessity lias brought i.l to our schools nature-study and manual training, to teach the child to use Its eyes and its hands, and to develop its senses and its muscular powers; and there new beneficent agencies in education, ah ady well in play, arc ia the near future to go far beyond any stage at present reached. We fin not yet see how to replace in urban education the training Avhich the farmer's tioy or theseacoast boy gets from Ids habitual contest with the adverse forces of nature. The (lotts Island boy, on the coast of Maine, goes out with Ins father in the early Avinter morning in a half-open sailboat to visit their lobster traps and bring home the entrapped lobsters. They start with a gentle breere and a quiet sea, though the temperature is Ioav. The boy knows just how to steer the boat live or six miles to sea, where the trsns are sunk on seme rocky spot which the lobsters love. The father is busy pulling the traps. The boy watches the weather, and suddenly he says, "Father, there is a northwester coming. See the clouds driving this way over the hills." The boy knows 1'ust as Ave'd as the father Avluit that means. It nieaur; a fearful beat to Avind Avard to get home, facing a savage spray and a falling temperturc, the spray dashing over the vessel and freezing to the sails and ropes and loading down the bow Avion ice. It means a life-and-death struggle for hours, the question being, Shall we got into liar her or not before Ave sin!:? Nov,-, that is a mag nificent training for a boy, and the sheltered city offers nothing like it. The adverse forces of nature, if not so formidable that men cannot cope Avith the::, are strenuous teachers; hut-in modern cities avo hardly know that the witiel biows, or that the iiocd Is coming, or that bitter cold is imperiling rdl animal life. "TIip Kinr.'8 I'liviile Jlantl." King Fd ward has given orders for the disbandment cf his private band, one of the ancient features of Ids court. In its present form it was established by Charles II. and some authorities assert that a "state" hand existed in tin days cf Queen Elizabeth. It is composed of thirty-four musicians, un der the dire- tion of Sir Walter Fa.r ratt, "master of the musiek." Its mem bers are the best theet can be secured in England, and this is the real cause of its dissolution. Unlike his mother, King Edward dees not care uracil for state concerts bv his oven musicians.. and since his accession the duties of tin band have been confined chiefly to the playing of light music, including ragtime, durins royal dinners.
