SELECT STORY.
TAKE THE HINT.
Whene'er an anxious group is seen
Around some monthly magazine
Or paper that is daily whirled
To every quarter of the world,
And merry peals of laughter rise
As this or that attracts the eyes,
The smiling crowd, you may depend,
Above'some illustrations . bend
That advcrtise'the strength and scce
And purity of Ivory Soap.
But while they smile or praise bestow
And wonder whence ideas flow,
The fact should still be kept in mind
That people of the knowing kind
Will need the hints or lessons laid
In rhymes and pictures thus displayed,
And let no precious moments fly
Until the Ivory Soai- they try,
And prove on garments coarse and fine,
The truth of everv sketch and line.

friends It gave evidence ot dramatic tal
ent ot high order, and sbo could doubtless
make a great reputation suouiu sue ucciuc
to go upon tho stage."
Miss BtBBiu Williams had nover bad
a thought of going upon the stage until,
a day ur two after having taken part
iu tho private theatricals, sho read this
complimentary notlco of her perform.
anoe in the column of tlm local newpap
er. But now sho was fired with a new
ambition, sho cut tho notico from the
paper, nnd read It again and as she did
so, sho began to riso abovo the common
place things with wtiicii iio nau uoioru
been fully satisfied. She began to take
great interest in actors and actresses.
One day, when her mother eutered her
room and unannouucod, Bessie was
discovered nttistically draped in a
trailing scarlet blanket, her long, dark
hair hanging down her back, her bare
white arms folded on her breast, und
her head thrown stiffly back, as sho
stalked back and forth before the small
mirror on her bureau.
"Yo do hot know with whom ye
have to deal!" sho was declaiming, in
the tone of a queen of tragedy, as Mrs.
Williams softlv opened the door.
"Well, what on earth! Why Eliza
beth William?, what do you moan!" ox.
claimed her motbor.
"O ma." cried Bessie, turnlnc quick
ly around in great confusion, her face
almost as Bcarlet as her blanket, "I
I was only practicing!"
"Practicine what?"
"Oil, a a piece I saw played once,'
replied Bessie, s she unpinned the
blanket and began binding up her hair.
"Well 1 think you had better leave
suoh things to those who can't find any
tliin, belter to do" said Mrs. William?,
in her direct, sensible way. "I supposed
you were np hero working on your
crazy quilt, which you'd better have
been doing than wasting your tinio and
getting foolish ideas into your bead by
such ttiliy performances ns this."
But the crazy-nuiit anil the omuroiu-
ery and th other little ioininiue occu
pations that had previously given ner
pleasure in her spare momentc, no
longer had any interest for Brssie.
Sho began to havo a feeling of disgust
for practical dutic", and a' senso of
supiri rily over tl.o.JO who could be
satisfied with what she called the "nar
mwn eb'' and "stupidity" of life in
Eld.rton.
Iler mother's rebuke did not change
her mind or htr conrse.
Bessio know that many famous
uciiesses had entered tho "profession''
in opposition to the wishes ot their
paionts, who had, in after years uoen
proud of thosuceees ot tneirunngnters,
and sorry tor the opposition mat naa

IN lliU, WUKliU. A few weeks after what sho regarded
Ask ycur dealer for I as her awakening to the consoiousnoss
that sho possessed dramatic Renins, an
nouncement was uiaue that madam
B ."a world renownud" actress, with
a talented company, was about to visit
lounctori. UesBio resolved that sno
would call on madam B , confide to
the fatuous actress her hope?, recite
some of her best passages as a specimen
of what sho could do, nud, it on
couraged to do so, that she would join
tho company, and begin her glorious
career as an actress.
She kopt this resolvo to herself, for
sho knew well lliat her paronts would
forbid her carrwnu it into i fleet. Sho
was really n diililul and ODeiiient

"I shall be eighteen in May," replied
Bessie.
"Do you livo hero?"
'No: in Elderton, I en milos from
hero."
"You have kind parents and u plena
nnt homo there?"
Somehow tbero came into Bessie's
heart at that moment a cre.it nvd ten
der sense ot how very good and kind
her father and mother had always beon.
nnd of the many sacrifices they had
mado for her comfort nnd happiness.
Sho wondered what ttiev would, think
first, and thought tho horse had run
nwny nnd tbero bad been an accident
lie hurtled back to tne "commissary,'
and getting Alexander McQuinn, an
other boss, returned to the scene.
A Klance showed that tho paymas
ter h id been shot and that ho bad also
been robbed of tho $12,000. Abjut
ISO yards. further down tho road was
found tho body of Hugh Flannagan.
Ho had also beeu shot through tho
body and temple. Tho horso had
been shot soven times.
Tho theory of tho crimo was that tho
point of the attack the robbers stepped
out on either side ot tno road as
thouch to let tho buggy pass. As
they did so they fired threo shots at
Flannagan, tbe bullets entering nis
neck, temple and heart, another rob
ber at tho Bamo time firing at Mo-
Clure. The horse ran away, Flaann-
tho domocratio increase waB 13.G per
cent, and tho republican increaso n
little over 11 por cent.; net democratic
increase 2.S per cent. In Ohio tho
democratio increaso was 8.05 per cent,
nnd the lepublican increase 3.9 per
cent. ; net democratio increaso 4.G per
cent.
Tho election returns of tbo New Eng
land states show somo singular per
centages of loss and gain by tho two
parties. In Maino and Vermont, wbero
tho democrats made no effort to poll
their vote, there is a small republican
increaso and a slight democratio de
crease on the vote of 1884. Iu Con
necticut, Now Hampshire nnd Rhode
Island both parties increased their vole.
In Connecticut tho democratic increase
was 11.5 per cent, and the republican
increase 13.2 percent,; republican net
increase 1.7 per rent. In New Hamp
shire tho democratic increaso was 11.9
per cent, and tbo republican increase 8
per cent ; net democratic increase 3.9
per cont. In Rhode Island the demo
cratio increaso was 41.5 per cent, and
tho republican increase 15 4; net dem
ocratic increaso 20.1 percent. Thcso
figures mo instructive. In tho stntes
in which manufacturing is the ohief
employment of tho peoplo the demo
cratic net increaso is tho greatest.
This is also notably tho case in stales
in which comparatively little money
was spent by either pariy. It is quite
certain that the re was Ipps effort to buy
votes in Rhode Island, Ohio and Penn
sylvania than in any of tho other north
ern states. The net per ccotago of
democratic increase in these throe states
is therefore tho more significant. In
rsew York and Indiana tbo republicans
had n net increase, the percentages
being ns follows : In How York, dem
ocratic percentage, 14, republican, 15.7;
iu Indiana, democratic percentage, G.G,
republican, 10.2. Thtso figures tell the
talo of republican corruption. The
"check" voters in Now York did pretty
well, but tholndiaua "floaters in blocks
of five" double discounted thtm.
The republicans increased their voto
legitimately in some of tho western
states. But the democratio increase in
Borne of tboso states is also remarkable.
In Minnesota the democratio increaso
is 42.2 per cent. ; the republican in
creaso 22.9 per oent. In Nebraska tbo
democratio increase is 50.8 per cent. ;
tho republican 40 per cent. In Cali-

The Oomiac Prohibition Campaign.
There is litt'e doult that the prohi
bition amendment lo the Constitution
will be submitted to a voto of the
people of Pennsylvania cither at a
special election t'i be held next sum
mer or at tho fall election of 1889 at
farthest. Tho Republican party of
tho State is pledged to submission.
Governor Beaver, in his message, not
only advocates submission, but urges
that tho election be held cs 'earlv as
May or June, so that tho voto upon it
may be taken without any admixture
of partisan politics or looat interest to
perplex the voters. Senator Quay has
signed a petition asking tho Legisla
ture to pass tho amendment and sub
mit it to n voto of tho people nnd the
Legislature is not likely to refuse Sen

this.

THE EFFECT OF HEAT AND COLD ON THE
GREAT STONE SHAFT.
Great care is taken to note tho move
ment of tho V a-diington Monument,
for it does move. The law of conttau
tion and expansion of mateml by heat
and cold operates here as well as else
where. When the sun shines full on
tho eastern face in the morning the
stones of that sido expand and throw
tho shaft slightly to tho west. Then

setting in tho evening .he glittering
point on top ol the monument makes a

gradually setting baok to its normal
