And I shall go with her where she gis'S."

"For the poet passed along

And 1 shall live forever In his lay."
Bill the violet beside them only bent Its heart

For It knew a Utile ehilil
Hail stolen to the comer where It grew.
Bhe had named It best nf all
And fairest, though so small,
And crowned It with a kiss. But no one

of ImkiiiR tins tied to it 80 long ns the
door slnyH shut iiotliintr Imppeus, bnt if
it is pushed open the lenst mite of a
crack down conn's the tinware with a
olntter fit to wake up everybody in the
ward."
"Thnt'i all well enonh for yonr
doors, bnt how about the windows? A
thief can open one of these new fnngled
catches by poking a table knife np be
tween the sashes, as easy as you'd any
scat,"
"Bat that wouldn't opon our win
dows. John has bored holes slanting in
through tho window casing into the
saNhes and pnt long iron pins in tiiem.
It is just na if every window was nailed
fast, and a burglar, to get in, would
have to out away the whole sash. "
"Did any of yon ever try newspa
pers?" asked anothor. "No? Well, lot
me assure yon, from my own experience,
there is nothing better. Lay one or two
dry newspaper sheets in the lower hall
and pin a couple on the stairs. It is im
possible to step on them without mak
ing a noise that, in the stillness of
night, would surprise you if you never
tried it before. And you can't pick them
up or fold them or slide them out of the
way or step over thorn without more
noise. As for (he ones on the stnirs,
they are simply the thief's despair. My
husband Inughed at 1110 when I firt put
them down, but within a week, as it
happened, their cfllchcy was proved. 1
was awakened one night by tho rustling
of paper in the hall below and awoke
my husband. We lay quiet and listcnod.
Presently there was another rustle.
Then a long silenoe. Then more rus
tling, and as the sound of it died away
we could hear somebody swearing in a
whisper. It was so funny that my bus
band burst into a roar of laughter, and
the fellow down stairs Jerked the front
door open and fled. "
"I don't think scaring a burglar
away ia enough punishment fur him,"
oommcnted an eldorly woman. "He
ought to be hurt somehow. Mr. B.
thinks so, too, and his 'warm welcome
for the uninvited' if something that, as
be says, 'just about fills the bill ' The
bolts on our front door and the aro light
before it free ns of all apprehensions of
attack from that direction, bnt twice
our house was entered by petty thieves
through the back door, which faces a
dark garden and is in the shadow of a
Tine oovered porch. The second time
inspired Mr. B. with an idea. At one
side of the door, about the height of a
man's faoe, he fastened to the wall a
springy bamboo cane, with a tin cup
wired to its free end. During the day
it can be turned up on the wall out of
the way, but at night, when he sets it
for business, it is sprung out about 1
feet and held there by a short stick and
a figure 4 trigger so set that opening
the door will trip it The tin cup, I
omitted to mention, hold a good ounoe
of cayenne pepper.
"For a month after Mr. B. rigged
that oontrivance np nothing happened,
and he was getting low spirited over
the neglect of th burglars to take note
of his new invention. Then, one night,
the sharp 'spang' of the oane against
the wall rang sharply all through the
house and woke us up. That was fol
lowed immediately by language on the
back porch fit to make yonr blood run
oold. We got to the window in time to
see two men in the garden, one leading
the other, who was howling and swear
ing terribly. We fancied that some of
the pepper had got into his eyes. Before
Mr. B. could get his pistol they had
disappeared in the shrubbery, and we
have not been troubled since. "
"That trigger, set to go off when the
door was opened," remarked another
woman, "reminds me of a horrid thing

Maaaaehaaetts Official Ink.
There is no longer any nnoortainty in
regard to tho permanency of the official
record ink adopted for use on the state
records and ofiloiul documents. As the
ink stands in the ink well it is of a deop
greenish tinge and looks not unlike a
wri ting Quid. It seems hardly thicker
than a fluid and flows smoothly and
easily from the pen. While still damp
on the paper it shows the same greenish
tinge that is apparent in the ink well,
but as it grows old on the paper it takes
on a deep black and has a smooth and
clean out appearance, without being
glossy. After it has been on the paper
a minuto it is only faintly smutched by
vigorous rubbing with the moistened
finger, and if allowed to become old on
the paper can be wet thoroughly with
out being effaced. The secret is that the
Ink eats directly into the surface of the
paper and oannot therefore be removed
withont destroying that surface. There
is no danger that the ink will become
brown after it has been on the paper or
book for many years, for the brownish
tinge ia given by logwood, and no log
wood ia used in the reoord ink. Boston

PARTICULAM ABOUT HIS FUNERAL.
A Topeka Man's I'rerautlons Against Mor
tuary Chestnnte,
A Topeka man of a practical turn of
mind has inadn a will regulating his
own funeral. A friend who is 11 parson
is to enmo from a tllHtanen mid sity a
prayer. Another friend, who Is not n
parson, not even It church inenilier, Is
to limko n short talk. Aunt her friend,
who is a woman mid n sweet. sltiKer, is
ti reinest thren niunical friends an
other woman and two men lo Join her
in singing npproprintn hymns, while
mint her friend, n young fellow who
learned tho knylionril whllo "on thn
road" for a mnslo luuieo, is to preside
nt thn organ.
Thn undertaker is not to wear a plug
lint, or a big diamond stnd, or a drossy
Prince Albert coat, or In any manner to
nppenr ns if hn hnd si. iteliiid a moment
from a bntin,not to bnry thn dead, lln Is
to lie modest nnd hnmhln, giving the
enrpsn a chance for public attention its
Inst chance. The pallbearers nrn not to
bo labeled. They will 1m distingnlnh
able from the oorpsn by thn fact that
they will bo alive, and their duties will
bo understood withont wearing a print
ed sign. They must be good fellows,
too, bright fellows, nnd Ihey nrn re
quested to begnlln tho wny to thn grave
with cheerfnl anecdotes of their dead
friend.
Noun of them mny wear gloves un
dertakers' gloves nrn so starchy and
stuffy and a man whoso hands sweat
is burred. It tarnishes thn handles of
tho collln. (-trips and signs, swonbi,
feathers and bands are prohibited. Thn
parson who shall say tho first prayer
shall say thn Inst, and "sprigs of myr
tle" or "acacia" are forbidden. The
pnllbenrors are to linn up and witness
the final closing of thn grnvn. All tho
funeral arrangements nro to bo in charge
of another friend, a woman, who shall
comfort the family and see that chumps
keep away from tho house ; that brown
ies bo not permitted to "sit up with thn
corpse." Sho shall recoivo flowers If
any friends may bring in, return thanks
for them in writing mid request tl(
newspapers not to call them "floral of
ferings. " Sho shall also detach cards
from these pretty remembrances and
presorve them for tlio family. The colllu
it shall not be called a "casket"
must not wear the appearance of a floral
bargain counter. That mossgrown title
head, "Tho Last Sad Rites," must mil
appear over the newspupor accounts of
the funeral, and having donn this lust

short sentences city editors are requested
to turn again their attention to life and

A now rider with a now whool is at
airy and imaginative as tho traditional
boy with his first pair of trousnrs. Uns
of the now rider's most langhabln hal
lucinations is that by purchasing a
whool ho haflbooomo economical insteud
of extravagant It is customury to hear
the new rider dofoud himself from the
charges of extravagance in the purchusc
of a bicycle by tho deolurutiou thnt hi
will, by use of it, soon suvo in cur fare;
alono more than tho wheel's cost Lot
no man doludo hiuiNolf with any such
idea. Supposing it wore possible for
him to rido a bicycle to and from his
work ooch of tho 800 working days in
the year und suoh a supposition is
away boyond tho probabilities in the
case he would storo np in carfare sav
ings but t30 per annum, at which rate
it would take just throe yoars and fonr
months for him to garnor tho $100 pile
his wheel bad cost him. Thorefore such
arguments are fallacious, and should at
once and forever be abundonod.
Don't hide behind a subtorfuge to
weak as this carfare allegation. Bo hon
est with yourself and the world. Say it
right out, so all may hear you, that you
have bought a wheel because yon want
to ride one, beonuse of the pleasure it
gives and the widor scope it gives yon
when an outing is possibla If that is
not sufHoient to silonoo those who criti
cise yon, leave them to their ways and
go yours awheel, satisfied that your in
vestment in a bicyole yields yon never
failing dividends of health and happi

The appearance of rust on the tuning
pins and the steel wires of a piano it a
sure indioation that the piano has been
exposed to moisture or dampness. The
time of year or the age or quality of the
piano has nothing to do with it as rust

heating in the morning would be likely

Corrosion of Metals by Water.
The peculiar statement is made by

Oolouiale that corrosion of metula by
water may be oaused by the action of
mloro-organismt present in particular
harbors, but absent in the ocean. It ap
pears that the fuot, at ascertained, of
pure aluminium plates immersed in
Norfolk Roads being badly corroded at
the end of three mouths, while i
France commeroial aluminium subject
ed to the same test was practically un
touched, and two plates attached to the
bottom of a ship were uninjured after f
voyage around the world;sid him to in

places, with the following results, at
stated : If introduced into boilers, the
Mediterranean water, which contains
more salt than the Atlantlo water,
causes more damage ; to does the wate

whioh contains a larger proportion of
nitrates from fermenting organio mat
ter. The destructive power of the shore
water ia much reduced, however, if ii
be sterilized by means of boiling.
Costly Society la tho Mary. ,
A commander in the United States
navy says that the heaviest drain on the
resources of the officers comes from so
cial obligations, especially in foreign
ports. They are invited to dine with a
king, a prince, a governor, and as a rep
resentative of this nation they have to
go. Then in return they must invite the
potentate to diuner with them. Thoy
must decorate the ship brilliantly and
provide a sumptuous "spread" not only
for the king, but for as many miuiktcrs
and hangers on as be chooses to bring
with bim, and every time this is done
each officer must go down into his
pocket for $25 or more. San Francisco

Tho Lawyer's Two Cigars.
A down cast lawyer hud a tough case
ou bund ut a recent term of court, and
before it came on laid his forefinger to
his uoso and evolved an Idea. Tho pre
siding Judge loved a good cigar, and tho
lawyer's happy thought was to propiti
ate him and make him friendly to his
case by troutiug him to tho best the
market afforded. Tho disciple of Black
stone was not in tho liubit of smoking
good cigura himself, so when ho bought
a 25 center to offer the court ho bought
a cheroot for his own use. Armed with
these, ho sauntered into tho judge's
room, and after a littlu chat passed out
a cigar, asking the judgo if he smoked.
The court accepted gracefully, but be
fore many whiffs were drawn tho horri
fied lawyer discovered he had given the
judgo the cheroot mid was puffing the
Havana himself. The judge politely
tried to look pleased as the smoking pro
ceeded, but the lawyer hat since made
no attempts to bribe the court. Lewis

"I have a dog," said a minister who
had just hoard a precocious story, "who
is very sagacious. One Sunday he fol
lowed me to church and sat among the
people and watched my movements in
the pulpit "
"That afternoon I heard a tonible
howling in my back yard, and of course
wont to see what it meant I found my
dog was in a woodshed, standing on his
hind legs in a dry goods box. - He bold
down a torn almanac with one paw and
gesticulated with the other, while he
swayed his bead and bowled to an audi
ence of four other dogs even more sadly
than I had done in the morning."

Marrlago by Proxy.
In Holland, says a Scotch paper,
marriage by proxy is allowed. This is
tba so called "marriage by the glove,"
and is usually put in practice by m
Dutchman who ia sojourning abroad and,
wanting a wife, is too poor or too far off
to return home for one. In such a case
he writes home to a lawyer, who selects
one comf ormable to the requirements of
his client If the gentleman approves,
he next sends the lawyer a soiled left
hand glove and a power of attorney,
which settles the business. A friend
marries tba woman by proxy, and she it)
thereafter promptly shipped off to bes
hew home.
