And all unchanged; the water sighs
Still in that bay. and still the breeze

And birds chirp love with bill to bllL
That rude old hridgt BRU -pans the stream.

The boat is there—it doth meseem
The sailors sleep—mayhap forget-
For ne'er \vu* sail sines furled or saC-
Tho bay spreads out—clear, placid, orient-
A summer sea, fringed round with green;
Afar some isle, mayhap, in sight
Rising from out It* breast is seen.
And bouses mirror in it* sheen
And all is still—nor voice, nor song.
Comes the enjoyment to abate
Of that fair scene—fair, though a wrong

Revolution In Printing.
To the Man Aliout Town an old priutet
remarked the other day: "We are on the
eve of a great revolution in the typo
graphical appearance of printed matter,
especially newspapers, that is, the use of
black paper printed in white letters, in
stead of white paper printed in black
letters, as now. The change is one to be
desired by the public, for the reason that
a white letter on a black ground pos
sesses greater contrast and distinctness,
and is, consequently, easier on the eyes.
The change will give at first an odd
enough appearance to printed matter,
but the merit of it will eventually result
iri its general adoption, and in time the
black letter will be as rare as the white
letter now is. Sign painters and show
card printers recognize the superiority
of the white letter, and are rapidly
adopting it, as is evidenced by the nu
merous white lettered signs now to be
seen on the streets and in the shops.
The change would be comparatively in
expensive to publishers, and as black is
cheaper than white paper, a saving could
be effected. With our newspapers thus
printed reading on cars and in dimly
lighted places would be not only prac
ticable. but easy."—St. Louis Republic.
Propositi of a Madman.
When Lee, the poet, was confined in
Bedlam, a friend went to visit him, and
finding he could converse reasonably,
imagined that lie was cured of his mad
ness. The poet offered to show him Bed
lam. Tliey went over this melancholy
prison, Lee moralizing philosophically
enough all the time, to keep his com
panion perfectly at ease. At length they
ascended to the tup of the building, and
as they were both looking down from the
perilous height, Lee seized his friend
by the arm, and exclaimed: "Lot us
immortalize ourselves! iSt us lake this
leap. We'll jump down together this
instant." "Any man could jump down
(said his friend coolly): we should not
'immortalize ourselves by this leap; but
let us go down, aud try if we can jump
up again." The madman, struck with
'the idea of a more astonishing leap than
that which he had himself proposed,
yielded to tliis new impulse, and his
friend rejoiced t see him run down
stairs full of a new project for securing
immortality. It is needless to say they
did not again ascend together.—Montreal

Composition of Col Tee.
Coffee is the seed of the coffee plant,
which is a shrub that will grow iu any
„ part of the world where the minimum
yearly temperature never falls below 55
degs. Fahrenheit. One pound of un
roasted coffee beans or seeds contains:
Of water, 1 oz. 407 grs.; of sugar, 1 oz.
17 grs.; of fat, 1 oz. 402 grs.; of caseine
(flesh forming matter), 2 oz. 85 grs.; of
gum, 1 oz. 192 grs.; of woody matter, 5
oz. 262 grs.: of caffeine and caffeic acid
(or stimulating principles), 400 grs.; of
aromatic or odoriferous oil, about 2 grs.,
. and of mineral matters, about 1 oz. 32)
grs. The caffeine of coffee is exactly the
same, both chemically and physically,
'as tlieine, the stimulating principle of
tea. Both substances are alike com
posed of 10 parts of hydrogen combined
with 10 parts of carbon, 4 parts of nitro
gen, 4 parts of oxygen and 2 parts of
water.--Grocers' World.
The New Walter.
"This coffee is so poor 1 can't drink
it," said the guest.
"Just shut your eyes, put it out of
sight, and don't say anything about it,"
was the reply of the new waiter, who
was a humorist. .
The guest did not make any reply, but
when he came to pay he handed over to
the proprietor of the establishment a
solitary cent.
"Where's the rest of the money?"
"Just shut your eyes, put it out of
sight, and don't say anything more about
it. That is what your new waiter told
me when 1 said the coffee was weak."
The new waiter tendered his resigna
tion.—New York News.
Touching Dancing.
I differ with the professor who thinks
that he can teach pupils the art of danc
ing by mail, using printed instructions.
No person will ever become a dancer by
that mode of instruction. You might as
well try to learn the shoemaking trade
in a similar way. Many pupils who wish
to acquire the art of dancing are quite
shy at first, nnd the bashfulness can only
be overcome by going into company.
Good instruction and plenty of practice
iB required to learn dancing, and no one
will ever become an adept in the art who
follows instructions sent by mail.—Danc
ing Master in St. Louis Globe-Domocrat.

Jinks (sadly}—No, 1 can't. 1 was

"Indeed I did. I did my best to make

Parisian Barber Shops.
Long ago a royal decree compelled
barbers and hairdressers to hang at their
door a white basin, so as to' distinguish
them from surgeons, who sheltered
themsolvcß behind a copper basin, and
these basins are still used for sign pur
poses.
They are of oval shape, and a small
piece is chipped out at one end. This is
intended to show that the basin will fit
the neck under the chiiK
But nowadays there are no such basins
inside French barbers' shops. You must
wash the lather off your own face when
Figaro has finished shaving and cutting
you. Then, if you want your hair
dressed, you gut back into tho chair—
and such uncomfortable chairs as they
are too—again, and the fellow recom
mences.
There are some hairdressers who are
not barbers, but all barbers are hair
dressers, and most of tliem are also wig
makers. They put some very queer
signs over their shop doors sometimes.
There is one old man up by the College
of France who has an oil painting out
side his premises which represents Absa
lom hanging by his hair to a large tree
while his horse is galloping away in the
distance, and below the following words
are written: "If he had worn one of our
wigs this misfortune would not have
happened him."
A barber of my neighborhood has a
sign which reads: "Shaving done here
today for money and to-morrow for noth
ing." This "to-morrow" that never
comes, and which the evening before is
so often promised, is it not the most bit
ter safcasm of all the illusions of life
that we are acquainted with? —Cor. New
Orleans Picayune.
Terrible Asian lleat.
The horror of the heat is unknown to
us, or indeed to any part of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are desper
ately trying sometimes. But to the na
tive of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores of
the Persian gulf, the sun of Greece is but
a trifle. The utter helplessness of man
under this infliction adds horror to his
sufferings.
There is 110 hope and no resource when
the red hot air penetrates to those under
ground chambers in which the summer
is passed in Central Asia. "The inhabi
tants," we learn, "are shutting them
selves up to escape"—probably closing
all the apertures of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below,
under such circumstances, cannot be
imagined by one who has not a touch of
experience. Houses of good class are
solidly constructed under ground, with
chambers and doors and "corridors, but
the mass of the people inhabit big holes,
roofed over, with no kind of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost nnd
snow and rain play mischief with these
rough pits, and tho damage is not always,
nor often, repaired by the following sum
mer. Fancy thousands of Mongols in
these dens, pursuing their filthy habits in
semi-darkness, suffering the awful tor
ment of heat, children wailing, adults
raving, always in want of water and gen
erally of food, in an atmosphere beyond
conceiving.—Loudon Standard.
A Singular Community.
The valley of Gressoney is one of the
most beautiful localities in the Italian
Alps. It also has a curious history. In
the Eleventh century it was colonized by
German soldiers, to whom it had been
given by King Otto in recognition of
their valiant services to him. The de
scendants of these soldiers, though in a
strange land, have stuck fast to their
German traditions. They still speak
German and keep up the closest connec
tion with Germany, which they consider
their fatherland. Their daughters are
educated in the best German schools and
seminaries. When the young women
come home from the big cities of the
north, however, they pre compelled by
their parents to lay aside their fine Ber
lin and Frankfort garments to dun the
curious customs of their forefathers, and
to learn to hake, and scrub, and wash as
their mothers and grandmothers did be
fore them. The cleanliness of the
"Grpssonari" has made them famous
throughout Italy. It is a proverb that
their barns are cleaner than oMier peo
ple's houses. German is spoka> in the
family, French in the church.-**, and
Italian in the schools. Consequently all
the Gressonari know at least three lan
guages.—New York Sun.
Hung It L'p.
An awkward young countryman, from
Vermont, some years ago entered a Bos
ton warehouse and asked for employ
ment. He could do any kind of "chores, ,f
he said, and boasted of his strength.
"Stout as you are," said one of the
clerks, "I'll give you ten dollars if you
will carry that bag of salt twice across
tho store and never lay it down."
The Veruionter stood for a moment,
thoughtfully eying the bag, and then
shouldered it easily enough, carried it
twice backward and forward, walked up
to a rope with a hook at its end, which
hung through a scuttle, aud hung the
bag on the hook.
"Mister," said he, "I guess I'll trouble
you for that air ten. I didn't lay it
down —I hung it up!"
The clerk rather unwillingly joined in
the laugh which followed, and handed
over the ten dollars.
"That's better than chopping logs,"
the young man remarked, as ho deposited
the money in his wallet.—Youth's Com
panion.
How the Heart Works.
A curious calculation has been made
by Dr. Richardson, giving the work of
the heart in mileage. Presuming that
the blood w:is thrown out of the heart at
each pulsation in the proportion of sixty -
nirie strokes per minute, and at the as
sumed force of nine feet, tho mileage of
the blood through tho body might be
taken at 207 yards per minute, 7 miles
per hour, 103 miles per day, 01,320 miles
per year, or 5,150,880 miles iu a life
time of 84 years. The number of beats
of tho heart in the same long life would
reach the grand total of 8,869,770,000.

IVIiAYBODY'S BUSINCSa
Several Attempt* to Start a Hone WMIa
the Driver Was Looking for a Hrtek.
A bay horse drawing a heavy express
wagon balked on Dearborn street, near
Washington, about noon the other day.
The horse was a vicious looking animal
with a sinister eye, reeking nostrils, and
i long, reclining ears, and he balked with
such determination right across the cable
track that the cars werfe stopped as far
down as Monroe and La Salle streets, and
the gripmen all swore as gripmen will.
A crowd of young clerks, old business
men and jolly little typewriter girls
gathered ,on tho sidewalk, and all the
office boys in the block took front Beats,
after their- habit, and awaited develop
ments. The driver, who was a tall, thin
youth with a red neck and freckles, left
his seat, and byway of opening business
kicked the horse rudely in the abdomen.
A member of tho Humane society caught
the boy by the collar and shook him, and
everybody laughed except the boy and
the member of the Humane society, who
glared at eack other.
"Has anybody got a lump of sugar?"
the member of the Humane society asked
after a while, the boy having gone to
look for a brick.
"I have," a typewriter girl replied,
diving into her haudbag.
The member of the Humane society
said, "Thai 1 you, miss," bowed, rolled
back his cut Is in the manner of the gen
tleman whe is just about to make a
nickel disapp sir in his ear, and then at
tempted to thrust the sugar into the
horse's mouth. The horse's ears flapped
oack, his eye reddened and he grabbed
it the Humane man's arm with his pink
jaws. The Humane man yelled,"Whoa!"
and jumped away; the young men in
the crowd laughed hoarsely and the girls
shrieked.
Banker George Schneider had been
•jtanding in bis window watching the
performanet , and he now came down
stairs and w *tked through the crowd.
"In the old country," he said, "we
used to make balky horses move in this
way," and the sot on his tiptoes and
threw his arms [.round the horse's neck.
The animal snorted savagely and shot up
its angry head till its neck looked like a
stand pipe, and of course Mr. Schneider
went with it. When lie had gone up so
high that he could almost see the roof of
the Tacoma building he let go, and, fall
ing. struck Tailor Joe Day. Hr. Day
changes his trousers every hour, and he
now wore a pair of gobelin blue trousers
with white flecks. When he jumped out
of the way to avoid Mr. Schneider he
rubbed some axle grease oil a wagon hub
with his trousers and swore softly. Mr.
Schneider blushed under- the taunts of
the crowd and withdrew to the bank.
A red faced man with a sandy mus
tache, who wore a checked scarf around
his neck, then came forward and re
marked: " 'Ere's the hdnly wove to do
the bloomink think." 110 took a hitch
ing strap from a horse attached to a
buggy near by and passed it behind the
balky horse's right front leg.
Then he began to pull and haul, uud
Assistant Postmaster John Hubbard,
who has a good voice, started to sing
"Saw my leg off." Everybody in the
crowd knew "Saw my leg off," and
the chorus was large and enthusiastic.
Officer Lavin paused on his way home
to dinner, saw the unhitdhed horse, and
calmly drove off witli the buggy, accord
ing to the ordinance regularly made and
provided. The owner, a little uijpi with
a plug hat, came out of the Grannis
block at this juncture and assaulted the
Englishman, and somebody began welt
ing the balky horse with a barrel stave.
This was the signal for a combined at
tack, and everybody who could get near
enough took a hand in hammering the
poor brute. While this bombardment
was at its height the driver came up.
He inquired for the member of the Hu
mane society, and limling that he had
gone lie climbed into the wagon, glared
contemptuously at the crowd, kicked the
horse in an ungentlemnnly like manner,
yelled "G—ee—t—eo—ftpp," and drove
away —Chicago Tribune.
Stealing ft Chilil.
A remarkably intelligent elephant
working on a new bridge in Ceylon, says
Murray's Magazine, had a young one to
whom she was perfectly devoted. It
died, and she became inconsolable. For
merly the gentlest of creatures, she grew
Irritable and even dangerous. One morn
ing she broke the chain which confined
her and escaped into the forest.
One night, about ten days after her
escape, the officer who had been in
charge of bar went out to lie in wait
for tears at a pond in a jungle at some
distance.
As he and his native attendant were
returning, early in the morning, the na
tive silently nudged him, and they saw
in the dim, gray light an elephant with
her calf making their way toward the
camp. They both sprang behind trees,
and when the elephants had passed the
native insisted that the older one was
their old friend.
When they reached the cauip they
fotur/1 that the truant had indeed re
rurr/ed, and hud gone from one person
to another, touching each witn her
Crank, as if she were exhibiting her
adopted child, which she had evidently
begged, borrowed or stolen during her
absence.
Iler good temper and usual docility
returned at once, and her owner blessed
the good fortune which had enabled her
to steal a child.

About Diamonds.
Colorless diamonds are usually the
most valuable, but a colored stone with
an exquisite tint fetohes as high a price
as any. The famous Hope diamond,
rhich weighs about 144J troy grains,
ilud is said to be worth £25,000. is of a
Siperb sapphire blue color. Large dia
monds of the first water are very rare,
a*d in the whole of Europe at the pres
ent time there are only five of more than
100 carats weight. (A carat is lij grains
troy.l The largest of these is the gem
of tne imperial scepter of Russia, which
came from India.
The others are the Pitt or Regent dia
mond belonging to the French govern
ment (this was the jewel Napoleon used
to wear in the hilt of his sword); the
Tuscany diamond, which is now the
first crown jewel of the Emperor of
Austria; the "Kohinoor," in the posses
sion of Queen Victoria; and the "Star of
the South," which originally came from
Brazil, and is now lying in pawn in
some banking house in Paris. The dia
mond, which can only be cut and pol
ished by its own powder, is either fash
ioned into a "rose" or a "brilliant." In
the former, one portion is made flat,
while the rest of the stone is carved into
a faceted dome. The latter, which is
always made about three times as thick
as the rose, is always cut into facets, but
so as to form a kind of double pyramid,
with a common central base or girdle,—

r.rnt In tlio Open Air.
Dr. Oakmau S. Paine is a great be
liever in rest, and thinks that, next to
sleep, the most beneficial kind of rest
may be taken in the open air. Talking
of rest recently, he said:
"How rest should be taken depends
entirely upon the person who is wanting
the rest. If a busy man can sit still for
a few minutes at odd intervals during
the day and put away all thoughts of
business and just dream for a few min
utes, lie will find that he would be great
ly refreshed by so doing. There can be
no stated time to take rest One should
never get so tired as to be compelled to
take rest, and if tlio rest was taken ju
diciously and at certain intervals, one
never would get so tired as to be com
pelled to go away for rest.
"Literary men, or men who do a great
deal of brain work, require a great deal
more rest than manual laborers. Physi
cal workers only get their muscles tired.
The musclt'3 are much more easily rest
ed than the brain is. Brain workers
should take their rest in the open air.
Any change of thought is a rest to a
brain worker, and after he has been
studying hard and exercising his brain
to any great extent, a walk or rido in
the country will be the greatest possible
rest that he could have."—New York
Mail and Express.
The Turk* mud the Crescent.
The crescent was not originally an em
blem of the Turk. It was first used by
the primitive Christians of Constantino
ple and the eastern provinces of the old
Roman Empire as an emblem of the
growing influence of Christianity. It
was not until about the year 1453, after
the Turks had overrun Asia Minor and
parts of southeastern Europe, and had
captured Constantinople, that the Turks
adopted the crescent as their national
emblem. The Koran prohibits the use
of images and symbols in the religious
ceremonies of the strict Turk, or the in
ternal decorations of their temples and
mosques, the rule being so slrlct as not
to allow the martial or civic decoration
of their greatest generals or pashas, suc
cessful commanders or other distinguish
ed persons. The adoption of the cres
cent by the Turk as a national emblem
is an oddity which has, so far, remained
unexplained. —Exchange.
Artificial Teeth.
The finest artificial teeth are made of
the best ivory, but the great majority of
false masticators now in use are simply
pieces of specially prepared hard por
eeiaiu. The following is ono of the pro
cesses adopted for their manufacture:
Fine calcined or roasted quartz powder,
well ground fluorspar, china clay, and a
very little oxide of tin are very intimate
ly mixed and ground together, and af
terwards made into a soft paste with
water. This paste is poured into molds
of various kinds and sizes of teeth, and
allowed to set. The plastic grinders are
then transferred to a furnace, where
they are "cured"—that is, half baked or
hardened. When this lias been done
they are covered with an enamel made
of paste of spar and quartz, and finally
subjected to an intense heat, until they
are sufficiently baked, when they are
ready for the dentist.—Surgical Reporter.
Spoiled II! Programme.
A thug who was recently imprisoned
in India, having been caught almost in
the actual cotrimission of a murder, com
plained bitterly to an English officer at
having been deprived of the opportunity
to fulfill his ambition. lie had begun
life with the fixed determination to kill
an even thqusand human beings, and at
the time of liis capture was in a fair way
to carry out his design. He had already
killed 700 persons, and if the authorities
would have let him alone for quite a lit
tle while longer lie would have readied
the 1,000 mark. He was willing to agree
to give himself up again if lie were al
lowed to go free long enougli to Lag the
additional 300 needed, and lie thought it
great hardship that so reasonable a re
quest should be refused.—San Francisco

HOW IT WOBKED.
Good morning, Jack ! why 1 haven't
seen you for a month past. What in the
world is the matter with you ? You seem
to have renewed your youth."
" Well Phil, I have. Don't you remem
ber the last time I saw you, how misera
ble 1 was ? Sick and blue, and in that
sort of mood a man gets sometimes when
he feels the most noble thing in life is to
go straight to the devil."
" Not so bad as that, I hope ; at all
events you didn't go that way you arc
looking far too happy and hearty."
" Thank goodness, no 1 or rather, thank
Vinegar Bitters. Do you remember that
day I saw you last, when you recommend
ed that remedy to uric so persistently, and
I was first vexed and then half convinced."
I remember it perfectly, and you
needn't say another word upon the sub
ject : your looks tell me that you took the
medicine."
"No doubt of it: everybody remarks
upon my improved looks and temper; but
I must really tell you all about it. I got
the old style, as you recommended, and
didn't mind the bitter taste at all. I fin
ished the bottle in about two weeks, and
was greatly improved, so much so that
I determined to change off and try the
new style.
" Well, how did you like it?"
" You told me your wife preferred th
new style, I believe;well, I must say I agre
with her. I like the old style very much
but the new is a finer, smoother, more e.\
pensive preparation."
" I believe it is ; in fact, I have heard
so, and 1 wonder the McDonald Drug
Company sell it for tire same price they
do the old style, because it is really a very
costly preparation."
" Well, that dosn't concern us Who
was it said that people fancied themselves
pious sometimes when they were only
bilious ? No matter! I was only going to
say that I believe people often seem wicked
when it is only their liver, or their stom
ach, or some other cantankerous organ of
the body so out of order tliey couldn't be
good if tiiey tried."
" And if all the miserable dyspepsia,
and victims of biliousness, headache and
the thousand and one ills that llesh is heir
to would only take Vinegar Bitters, what
a happy world this would be ! "
"I should recommend the new style."
" I never go back on the old style."
" Well, they can nay their money and
take their choice, for both kinds work ad
mirably."
