When Old Ae Recall the Dream, of the I'ant m VUlnna, There I. Tragf-cly. Tlirco ncuerntionaant in tho "oft glow of tho (loop crimson lnmp slimlo tlmt mellowed everything lu the little pnr lor. Thore wns ono dnulitnr contort nt the pinno, Ringing awect nnd low. She most of nil was glorified by the rndily rny from the translucent pnpnr t!:nt foil over hor. Thore was the motlvr, nnd bosldo hor Mt tho niothor's mother, near the oironraforence of the halo, the one listening with n glow of pride, tho othor, to whom the girl's voice was new the grandmother was a visitor at tho honse listening ns one who bears n voice calling in a lonosomo plnoe. Blie sat thore thinking, thinking, thinking, did this doar old sonl, of a day when she, too, bnd Bit at the piano herself, so proudly, nnd bad sung the tondor bal lads of that bygone day with a voice full of passion, a dcop contralto voice, one tbnt touohod the heart in its most sacred dopths, whon the strong, olear notes wore stmck and tben broke into a pleading tremolo in the upper register. Fifty years ago that gramlnm's voice bad thrilled hearts now dust, or worse than dust hearts that wero numb to tender things and there was borne in the burden of bur songs one message, that of love oven before hor heart bad known its uioauing her voioe bnd spok en love. The voice of the girl sitting nt the pinno was like her grandmother's hod been. It hunted chords in the henrts of those who hoard ber nnd set tbom pulsing in eoho to hor own sweet long ing that oould find no words. God only knows what long, silent, rusted chords she touched with hor resonant voice, did this ohild, in bor grandmother'ssouL She snug the simple ballads of the day "Last Night," "The Clang of the Woodou Shoou," "Marguerite" nd ns she sang ber mothor, to whom the singing was an old story, slipped oak of the room taking nil her years with ber perhaps nud left thorn togother, ti gothor even in youth that soos visions. The young shnll see visions, nnd the old Bhnll dream dreams, saith the prophet Dut when, by somo mngio of a voice or some alchemy of tho soul, old ago, which has dronmod dreams, seos in one vivid flush of light tho drenius of the past as visions there is tragedy. The girl under the crimson lamp shade turuod Idly from leaf to leaf iu bor portfolio and sang by plooemenl. The elder woman only askod that she keop on singing. She only asked to bear that voioe, her own voioe, to the vary quaver on C. And her dreams were all but visions, and life was all but youth again. Tboro had been a wild song, one that the benrer did not know, and the chorus sobbed out: Oh, la It forever, Lovo, that we must sever, O lovo, will yon nevor Oome back afainf And the story tbat the song told of was of two lovers who had met under the roses and bad known "the love of a day, the love of a life. " What a twirl of fanoies the singing of the obild tent eddying through the aged brain I Tbe musio did not cease. The girl recalled a tweet old song, a peaceful, sorrowful ditty our grandmothers tang: Ooold y. oome back to me, Douglas, Dooglaa, In the old liken eta I knew, I'd bo so faithful, so loving, Dooglaa, Dooglas, Douglas, tender and true. The girl sang on until she thought tbe bad tired ber grandmother, and tben whirling around on the stool the laid gaylyi "Well, grandma, bow do you like it? Haven't I Improved In ten years?" She rose as the said this, and without even waiting for a reply, at it tbe way of careless, thoughtless youth, tbe left tbe room bumming: Now all men bealde are to me like ahadowa, Douglas, Douglas, tender and true. The girl went to ber mothor, who, the knew, was attending to tome duties of the household. The words "all men like shadows" ran through tbe aged woman's bead when the girl left tbe room, and she was thankful for the child's thoughtlossneea whloh bnd loft her alone for a moment The spell of the pleading soug was upon ber. Ilor life was turuod backward. Young faces smiled at her. Slio seem ed as bold as youth, this shy old wom an, who two hours bofore bad boon afraid to protest against the overcharge of a oahman. She heard her daunhter's steps and the child's In the room above her, nnd, thrilled with the mnsinorio en chantment of the song, she became wrappod in a consuming longing to try if she conld not sing the old song ngnin. Bhe tiptoed about the room, and clos ing the doors nnd looking ever behind her, she circled to the pinna Bhe wished to sing out loud something thnt was in her heart, to put it into words and let it come from her lips. She believed thnt to say the aching words would ense a throbbing in her heart Bhe con Id not at first bring her self to begin tho song, so she fumbled among the koys, pretending to hunt for the nir, nnd said the words of tho first stanza to herself in silence.

Who Raka Them Out of the A.h Heap.. On every dumping ground where the city contractors of Hrooklyn plaoe their ashes one may see coi stautly Italians working bard lovcllnff the heaps, as load nftcr load its dnpisited, nnd care fully placing tha t-jinnt) vans nnd other enstoff pleoes of tinware in piles by themselves. The contractors do not ob Joct if the householders pnt old cans among the ashes, for this Insures a care ful leveling by the Italians nt the dumping grounds at no expense to the contractors. The revenue from these enns thnt are ool looted by the hundreds and thousands is a matter of surprise to most porsona. A two horse load brings from $0 to 8. It takes several days of bard work to get a big wngon load, but the Italians don't soem to mind the labor of it, fur there is money immediately in sight ns tho piles of tin cans grow. They wntoh Jealously their picking grounds and sometimes make special arrangements with the contractors for tbe privilege of tornpiug and raking the ash bonps over. The tin cans are told to men with fumnoes, who plaoe them in a big cal dron, nnd under a slow Are molt the tin and solder and run thnt part off for fu ture use and sale Almost all the tin and solder Is saved by this process and is salable for use iu mnkiug more cans for preserving vegetables. The boat Is then mado intense, and the iron that re mains is molted nnd cast Into sash weights. Tho demand for theso old cans is said to be greater than the supply, and ono of tbe most valuable of the sonvouger privileges that tho Italians in largo oities nssumo Is thnt of working over nn ash dump. The Italians also oolleot odd bits of lonthor in honps. Old shoes of a large size are always a special dolight to thom. A wagon load of them is always sal nolo for use in making lampblack. There are other sources of profit in ash heaps, but the chief sources of revonne to those who pull thorn topiocos nro tbe eant and tho shoos. Now York Bun. Personal Expenaea In Vienna. A singular diarist recently died at Vionna. His dinry is an ncoouut book of bis personal expensos from the ago of 17 to 70. During this poriod it npponrs he smoked 028,713 cigars. Of these 43,039 were gifts. The rest cost him 9,600. Ee wore 85 pairs of trousers and 74 coats and waistcoats, and his total tailor's bill wat close upon 1,000. His hosior's bill showed 63 pairs of very ex pensive looks, costing about IS shil lings per pair; 808 shirts and "fronts," and S00 oollars, all of whloh must have been cheap at 00.

A Japaneae Teat For tho A.plrlug Brido. In Japan it appears tbat one faotor entering into tbe ohoioe of daughter-in-law it her skill in raising silkworms. There it more to this than appears on the surface of the statement, for it seems tbat the thread spun by a silkworm is regular and even in proportion as tbe worm bat been regularly and oarefnlly fed. Tbe prospective mother-in-law oarefnlly and minutely examines the garment! of tbe aspiring bride, judging of her qualifications by their condition. Tblt seems even more absurd than the woman who said hor son should nvr marry a woman who oould not keep W top bureau drawer in order. New York Times. Chleago Win Comes Cheap.
