To her of love I chanced to sigh, “Tie spring," she whisper’d in my ear; “You’ll feel much better by and by.” And when, in summer's goldcD hours, I said my heart was all aglow. She smiled as sweetly as the flow’rs And murmured. "Bummer, don't you know." And later, when the leaves fell down. And I rehearsed my heartfelt tale. She said, but with a little frown, "The day Is dull, aud you are pale.” I sadlv waited. Christmas came. And with the hells my love I told. Said she, “This wintry night’s to blame; I’m sure you’re Buff’ring from the cold." Oh, grant, ye powers of destiny, That she and 1 may meet together. In some strange land that’s fair to see. But wholly destitute of weather! —A. C. Gahun iu New York Suu. Absence of Real Children In Literature. The wise mentors in conventional lit erature virtually tell you that child liter ature wants no real children in it; that the real child's example of defective grammar and lack of elegant deportment would furnish to its little patrician pa trons suggestions very hurtful indeed to their higher morals, tendencies and am bitions. Then, although the general pub lic couldn’t for the life of it see why or how, and might even be reminded that it was just such a rowdying child itself, and that its father—the father of his country—was just such a child, that Abraham Lincoln was just such a lovable, lawless child, all—all of this argument would avail not in the least, since the elegantly minded purveyors of child literature cannot pos Bibly tolerate the presence of any but the refined children—the very proper chil dren—the studiously thoughtful, poetic children—and these must be kept safe from the contaminating touch of our rough and tumble little fellows in “hod den gray,” with frowzy heads, begrimed but laughing faces, and such awful, awful vulgarities of naturalness, and crimes of simplicity, and brazen faith and trust, and love of life and everybody in it.—James W. Riley in Forum. Two Kinds of Pears. It is remarkable that although new fruits come to the front every year there is not a pear yet that has been able to take the place of the Bartlett or the Seckel. The Bartlett is a European sort, originating in England and named there William’s Bon Curetien. It was intro duced into this country, and its name getting lost it was named Bartlett, after the man in whose garden it was when its excellent qualities were discovered. The Seckel is a native, a chance seeding, found growing near the Schuylkill river, Philadelphia, and the original tree still stands and bears fruit. The Bartlett is in season throughout September, the Seckel from the close of September and through October. These two kinds are no exception to the rule that the quality of all pears increases in value as the trees get older. The fruit from a full grown Seckel pear tree, for instance, is far superior to that from a tree fruiting for the first time.—Practi cal Farmer. A Small Legal Fee. The smallest fee'ever taken by an Eng lish counsel was sixpence, that fee hav ing on one occasion been taken by the late Sir John Holker. Barristers’ fees were in olden times much less than those now paid. An entry occurs in the church wardens’ accounts of St. Mar garet’s, Westminster, for 1476, showing that a fee of three shillings and eight pence, with fourpence for his dinner, was paid to Robert Fylpott, counsel, learned in the law, for his advice. In Nare’s “Glossary,” a barrister’s fee was stated to be an angel, or ten shil lings. These are somewhat different figures to the 600 guineas paid to Sir Charles Russell three or four years ago at the Leeds assizes for less than three hours’s work, or at the rate of over three guineas a minute.—London Tit-Bits. Remarkable Unanimity. The remarkable unanimity that is so pleasant to observe between man and wife is nicely illustrated by the follow ing two letters of the same date: Country, Aug. 20. Dear John—1 am going to stay another week. Am haying a splendid time. Affection ately. Julia. City, Aug. 20. Dear Julia—You can stay another week. Am having a splendid time. Affectionately. , John. For some reason or other she concludes to pack up and start for home immedi ately to see about his “splendid time.” —Exchange. Best Flowers for a Sickroom. The best flowers for a sickroom are growing flowers, but cut flowers are more often obtainable. As to these lat ter they should first of all be fresh. They quickly decay, and then they com municate to the water in which they are placed vegetable juices which undergo putrefactive fermentation and render the air impure. Bright colored flowers are desirable.—Boston Globe. Some one has noted the fact that July has been a fatal month to presidents. Jefferson, Monroe, Taylor, Van Buren, Johnson and Grant died in that month, and Garfield was shot in that month. Robinson Crusoe’s island, Juan Fer nandez, is inhabited by about sixty per sons, who attend to the herds of cattle that graze there. Somebody says that “snoring is the spontaneous escape of those malignant feelings which the sleeper has no time to vent when awake.” The game of football played in Ameri can colleges and schools is not nearly so harmful and dangerous as that which is played in England. Among the recent inventions in elec tric heating devices are hand stamps, curling irons, coffee urns and branding irons. The South Sea islanders are claimed to make an intoxicating drink from corn and decayed fish. Didn’t LUu th« Weapons. “I came very near having a dnel once,” said the congressman to a group of auditors. “Tell us about it,” said they as one mun. “When I was about thirty,” he con tinued, “I hung out my shinglo in n small town in a southern state, and be ing from the north I did not receive at first the agreeable recognition I expect ed. In fact there was one blatherskite of a fellow who made himself so ob noxious that one day I slapped his jaws. This brought all the respectable people of the community over to my side, and I was feeling pretty good for three or four days, when the bottom was knocked out of it all by my receiving a challenge from Mr. Blatherskite. If thero was anything more than another that I didn’t want to do it was to fight a duel, and 1 tried to get out of it some way, but couldn’t, and finally accepted his chal lenge and chose doubled barreled shot guns at ten paces. I didn’t hear any thing from my man for twenty-four hours, and then I bad a personal call from him. “ ‘I have come in,’ he said after a few preliminary remarks, ‘to make a state ment about this duel. W hat I’ve got to say is that shotguns are too doggoned mortuary for me, and if you have no ob jections I’ll apologize and call it square.’ “Then I became very brave and blus tered some, but 1 accepted the situation very gracefully at last, and ever after Mr. Blatherskite was most respectful, and stood about as well in the town as he ever did.”—Detroit Free Press. Why Milk Differs in Quality. Milk is more susceptible to changes from the normal condition than any other food product. The first class of changes has been brought about by the action of breeders. By many years of attention to breeding for fat production, it is now possible to get milk which may be twice as rich as the normal. On the other hand, other breeders have paid especial attention to production of large quantity, even at the expense of quality, until pure milk is sometimes produced having as low as 10 per cent, of solids, when the normal is 13 per cent. A second set of causes which influence the quality of milk grows out of the ig norance or carelessness of the producer or seller. Where the persons held the exploded idea of the value of one cow’s milk for children anything in the treat ment of the cow which affects its nervous temperament may unfit it for food for very young children. Uncleanliness or neglect is often a grave source of trouble in the handling of milk, not only on ac count of the possibilities of the addition of visible filth, but because milk is pe culiarly susceptible to odor, various kinds of bacteria and disease germs. Epidemics of scarlet fever and typhoid fever have been traceable to the milk supply, unclean cans and other utensils, and particularly to propagating bacteria. —Boston Transcript. The Vanishing Couple. A fashion safe to stamp a young girl in general society as but ill equipped with knowledge of good form is that of “vanishing” in company with her at tendant after a dance and remaining in unfrequented corners until remark is thereby created. Such is the young wo man whose chaperon is in continual spec ulation as to her whereabouts or else in active exercise to find her. She is no doubt often innocent of intention to of fend, but at large and mixed entertain ments the better part of wisdom in a wo man is to keep in view of her fellows. A witty Frenchwoman, Mme. de Gira din, once wrote: “Amuse yourselves, O young beauties, but flutter your wings in the broad light of day. Avoid shad ows in which suspicion hides.” The “vanishing woman” act should be lim ited in performance to a platform in full view of the audience. The prompt re turn of a young woman to the side or vicirUy of her chaperon after dancing is not only a graceful and well bred action, but affords an opportunity to the man, who too often is embarrassed in this re spect, to withdraw and fulfill some other engagement.—Ladies’ Home Journal. — Monday and Friday. Those of us who like Friday for vari ous reasons,.but chiefly because it leads up to Saturday, upon which day schools are closed, will be pleased to hear that it is not half so unlucky a day as Mon day, the day school opens again. A Ger man statistician, feeling that Friday had been a much maligned day, determined to make a scientific investigation of the matter, and found that it is not Friday but Monday that is the most unfortunate of the week days. According to his investigations 16.74 per cent, of all accidents occur on Mon day, 15.51 per cent, on Tuesday, 16.31 per cent, on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent, on Thursday, 16.38 per cent, on Friday, 16.38 per cent, on Saturday and only 2.69 per cent, on Sunday. So you see Friday isn’t so bad a day after all.—Harper’s Young People. Raphael’s Theological Virtue. It is vain to accuse Raphael, as did certain of his contemporaries, of not having sufficient theological virtue, in asmuch as he painted virgins that were too humanly adorable. Raphael con formed his painting to his ideas and his sentiments. He expressed his soul, just as Lippo Lippi, Botticelli, Mantegna, Bellini and Perugino expressed their souls, each one differently, and in a man ner characteristic of his more or less complex personality; and, as regards each one of them, the degree of our ad miration and sympathy depends upon the temperament and culture of our own souls.—Theodore Child in Harper’s. A Father’s Suggestion. Jack—I hope you’ll consent to a mar riage between myself and your daughter Alice. Quiverfull—Can’t do it, young man— weddings are too confoundedly expen sive. No, sir, I refuse my consent, but of course—er—if you and Alice should take it into your heads to elope-. —Kate Field’s Washington. Wonderful Inneet Illuminations. The secretary of the Smithsonian in stitution. Professor Lan-'ley, has been experimenting with Cuban fireflies with a view to discovering the manner in which the illumination they emit is generated. He says that the light they give is the “cheapest" in the world— produced, that is to say, with the least heat and the smallest expenditure of energy—and he believes that a success ful imitation of it would prove a most profitable substitute for gas or electrici ty. The insects are beetles two inches long and belong to the family of “snap ping bugs,” so called because when one of them is laid on its back it snaps Itself into the air with a clicking sound. The secret of the light this firefly gives is as yet undiscovered. Apparently it is connected in some way with the mysterious phenomena of life, and chemists and physicists have sought in vain to explain its origin. On each side of the animal’s thorax is a luminous membraneous spot, and these flash at intervals, so that the Cubans put a dozen of the insects in a cage together and obtain a continuous illumination bright enough to read by. This light i3 accompanied by no perceptible heat, and is seemingly produced with no expendi ture of energy. How great an improve ment it represents upon all known arti ficial lights can be imagined when it i3 stated that in candle light, lamp light or gas light the waste is more than 99 per cent.—American Analyst. A Chronic Case. Known, chiefly by correspondence, to many persons is a certain invalid who spends her days in studying her “case” and writing about it. Her letters are long, full of unpleasant details and so burdened with inquiries and requests that they have to be answered at almost equal length, and most of them are ad dressed to men and women to whom time is precious. Sometimes the invalid asserts that the use of a typewriter would relieve unfa vorable symptoms, and asks a hundred questions about the different machines. Again, she finds it necessary to divert her mind, and turns to literature, rely ing on an author to tell her what and how to write. Then she resolves to make an experiment in treatment, and can vasses by letter for a worthless subscrip tion book that she may gain the money to do so. But always her “case” is directly or indirectly the theme of the many' closely written pages. All things past, present and to come are related to her various afflictions. In the words of a Persian proverb, “The sun shines that the world may see her wounds.”—Youth’s Com panion. On Collecting Autographs. The most elementary form of the stranger’s letter is of course the applica tion for an autograph. This application is now reduced to such a system that it causes little inconvenience and should not be refused. There is usually sent with the request a blank card on which the name is to be written, with an en velope stamped and addressed for its re turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive or mechanical, though the line of pro priety is at once passed, we may say, where two cards are sent, the second one being obviously for exchange pur poses or perhaps for sale. The wary author never, I suspect, writes on both cards, since he does not aim to help out a mere business trans action. Where any applicant goes far ther and asks an original letter or copied passage, the affair becomes more serious, and some authors and public men ignore such requests altogether, as being much more serious consumers of time.—T. W. Higginson in Harper’s Bazar. Aunt Scinda’g Four Hundred. “An old negro woman has established anew theocracy at Grenada, Miss.,” said J. H. B. Miller, of Coffeyville. “Her name is Scinda, and her followers are called ‘Scinda Band.’ They number about 400. Scinda is their queen, and rules her flock with an iron rod. They use no Bibles at their meetings, for each member is supposed to know it by heart. If Scinda asks them a Biblical question they are supposed to have an answer at once. They have their meetings every Sunday evening and they are interest ing to observe. The congregation—men and women—are decked out in costly ribbons and beads. Their chants are as weird as the sobs and sighs of graveyard trees. They dance to the music of the banjo and tambourine until they are nearly exhausted, and then they go home.”—St. Louis Republic. The Rag: Doll. The rag doll, dearer to the heart of childhood than any other sort of doll, is quite the fashionable doll par excellence at the present moment. Unlike the one our grandmothers made for their little ones, the one cherished by the little folks of today is of flesh colored silk jer sey cloth or of cotton balbriggan of the same color. Its body is filled with cot ton, and its hair is in many rings of yel low single zephyr stitched on in loops. The face is painted, and when it is nec essary to clean it this face can be re painted after the rest has been washed, as it can be without injury.—Detroit Free Press. Aii Important Appeal. Advertisements, especially of the per sonal kind, will frequently reward the searcher for unexpected anticlimaxes. The following appeared in a New York paper not long ago: “Willie, return to your distracted wife and frantic chil dren! Do you want to hear of your old mother's suicide? You will if you do not let u3 know where you are at once. Anyway, send back your father’s colored meerschaum!”—New York Tribune. Indian Blood Is Prominent. People of Indian blood predominate in Para, Brazil, and are found in all classes, from servants and peddlers to capital ists and high government officials. There are very few Portuguese or Africans, and the descendants of both these races show a large admixture of Indian blood. —Philadelphia Ledger.
