Fireside Journeys. Mine Is nn humble, toilsome lot. My home n lowly little cot. And pleasant trips oYr land and sea Nor wheel nor sail e'er proffers me. Day holds nu can-bound, but the night. Cheery with hearthftre's glowing light. Vouchsafes rare journeys with the clvej That bide in covers on my shelves. From open page these curious friends, cone out at rail, with power that send' Me in their wake, at lightning pace, Through storied realms of tfme and space. From frozen fields of Arctic snow To vales where tropic splendors glow. Fast craggy heights, o'er waters wide. Fearless we soar, we glance, we glide. Famed kings and lovely queens we greet; Knights-erinnt In their tourneys meet; With founders and explorers stray. Or talk with scholars by the way*. Sages look on with solemn eyes. Dropping their queries and replies. While mystics breathe bewildering dreams, Till all the air with wonder teems. The sweet hours come, the sweet hours go; Upon the hearth the tire burns low; Then dainty singers, dreamy-eyed, From rhythmic covers softly glide, Crooning their low, delicious runes. And. lulled by cadence of the tunes, I fall asleep amid the elves That hide In covers on my shelves. —Jean Wilson In National Magazine. WOMEN SOLD BY AUCTION. How Damsels of Babylon Were Once Disposed of. An million of unmarried ladies used to take place annually in Babylon. In every district they assembled on a certain daj of every year all tlie vir gins of marriageable age. The most remarkable was first put up, and the man who bid the largest sum of money gained possession of her. The second in personal appearan e fol lowed, and the bidders gratified them selves with handsome wives accord ing to the depth of their purses. But alas! It seems that there were in Babylon some ladies l'or whom no money was likely to he offered, yet these also were disposed of so provi dent were the Babylonians. When all the beautiful virgins were sold, the < rier ordered the most deformed who would marry her wiih a small sum, she was at length adjudged to the man who would be satisfied with the least, and in this manner the mo i . arising front the sale of the hand -to served as a portion to those who were either of disagreeable looks, or that had any other imperfection. This cus tom prevailed about 500 years before Christ. Never before have we shown such a complete line of Mil linery. You are making a mistake if you do not see us before buying. A Muki Lunch Room.
