Bemuse They Wero Men.
IXere is a conversation between
two men that I heard yesterday
morning. It they had been women
X wonder what would have hap
pened.
"Have you met the new partner in
that firm yet?"
"Yes."
"Is he a young man?"
"No; not very young. About your
age, I should think."
"Do you think I am old?"
"Oh, not very old, but you are con
siderably older than I am."
"I doubt that, but how old are
you?"
"I'm 3fi. How old are you?"
"Thirty-seven."
"Then I am younger, but I thouaht
you wero even older thau that. You
look older."
"Oh, you think so?"
"Yes. Maybe it's the bald spot
that makes you look older. Then
you have an old Ilgure, too."
All this was said in perfect earn
estness, and yet the men parted
friends.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER,
It matters littlo where I was bom,
Or if my parents wore rich or poor;
Whether they shrank at tho cold world's
scorn,
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure.
But whether I live an honest man,
And holds my integrity firm in my clutch.
I tell you, brother, plain as I am,
It matters much I
It matters little how long I stay
In a world of sorrow, sin, and care;
Whether in youth I am callod away,
Or llvo till my bones anl pnto are baro.
But whether I do the best I can
To so.ten tho wolght of adversity's touch
Ou tho fndol cheek of ray fellow man,
It matters much!
It matters littlo where be my grave,
Or ou the land or on tho sea,
By purling brook or 'neath stormy wave;
It matters littlo or naught to me.
But whether the Angel ol Death comes down
Aud marks my brew with his loving touch,
As one that shall wear tho victor's crown,
It matters much!

//J know her name!"
_ I j —il said Mrs. Rou-
Xl I l\ wick. "My dear
Kenneth, there
1 never was snj
thing so ridic
ulons?"
—=-^' lo Cft l'tain of
artillery shifted
his feet to a more
comfortable position on tho sofa, and
looked longingly at a box of cigars
which was placed just boyond his
roach.
"Of course I know her name," said
he; "and a very pretty one it is.
Perry—Miss Perry."
"But who is it you aro talking
about?" said pretty Joyce, who had
been preparing a mustard-paste for
Uor brother's cliest.
Captain Ronwick answerod prompt
"My sweetheart I"
"Kenneth, doa't bo ridiculous 1"
said his mothor, somewhat tartly.
"The sweetest, pruttiost blossom in
all tho Adirondack wildemessosl"
pursued Keuuoth. "Tho fairest of—
Catnip tea I I doolaro, Joyce, I won't
drink itl What do you tako mo for?"
"Its tho host thing 111 the world
for a cold ou tho cheat," said Mrs.
Ronwick, wringing her hands. "Oh,
if you had only kept away frcm that
eampiug party."
"I mistook her for tho boatman's
daughter tho iirst time," Haid Captain
Ronwick. "bho—"
"Kenneth, don't talk—pleaso don't
talk I" urgod his mother. "It's tho
worst thing you ooald possibly do,
with your lungs all congostod, and—"
"Rut I must talk!" said tho captain,
"Consider, molhor, Joyco hasn't
heard a word about it. Sho only cumo
last, nigbt. Fancy, Joyce, my being
fool enough to mistake her for a boat
man's daughter I"
"Why, nreu't boatmen's daughters
ns nico unit la lylike as any one?" said
Joyce, readjusting lier apron ribbons.
"Oh, but this boatman lives in a
perpetual stato of shirt-sloovos I" said
Ronwick ; "aud ho is a living fountain
of tobacco juice, aud talks abominable
grammar through his nose. Aud his
wifo is a low class of Meg Merrilios,
who takes too muoh bad whisky when
ever she has tho opportunity. How
I ovor made such a blunder I cau't
imagino. But Jenkins sent nio up to
tho Imko lie.id to hire a boat, and
when I saw lior sitting there among
tho water-lilies, I jumped at ouco to
the conclusion that this was tho boat
to hire. 'My good girl,' says I—
fancy my idiocy!—if you will just
row me up io Needle Point, and oall
for mo again in the evening, I'll givo
you a dollar.'"
"Ami hIio?" said Joyce.
"Rowod me up, of course. I wish
you could have soon the way iu which
she handled tho oars. But it was
Dolpb, tho tobacco-soaked old boat
man, who called for me at sunset.
4 Why didn't you send your daugh
ter?' Hays I. 'lt warn't my darter,'
says he; 4 it was Miss Perry.' Well,
then I met her at the picnic. Wo
waltzed together half tho evening.
Sho is as beautiful as sbo is graceful,
und as intelligent as she is beautiful."
"Did you apologize?" asked Joyce.
"Of courso I apologized," said Cap
tain Kenneth. 4 'And wo had a good
laugh over it. She h:ul been after
water-lilies, she baid. {She paints 'em
in water colors. I am to have one
when they are finished. Joyce, you
must know her. She is a perfect
beauty. And she dauccs like a sylph,
and sings liko Patti, and —"
"Nonsense!" said Joyce. 44 A farm
er's duughter, seen through tho big
end of the opera glass! Yoti wore al
ways a victim to delusions, Kenneth."
"My dear Joyce, I assure you—"
"Childreu, children!" roinoustra
ted Mrs. Renwick, piteously, "Jo
have a littlo common sense. Kenneth,
you know you ought not to talk.
Joyce, don't you hear how hoarse your
brother is?" If pucumonia should set
iu after this exposure—"
Captain Renwick made an expres
sive grimace. Joyco lookod a litle
apprehensive.
"Mamma," said she, "you always
were a pessimist. It's only a cold that
ails Kenntli."
"But it is settling on his lungs, ray
dear," saul Mrs. Ronwick, plaintively.
"And out here in the wilderness there
isn't even a drug store short of fifteen
miles. Oh, doar ! oh, dear ! why did
I ever allow myself to bo persuaded to
come to tho Adirondacks?"
"The scenery, mamma !"said Joyce,
soothingly.
4 'But ono can't eat and drink
scenery. And this woman kuQtvs
absolutely nothing about omelettes
and French coffee, and she never
broiled a beefsteak in her life until I
showed her how. As for her soups,
they are simply uneatable. And the
beds are as hard as tho neither mill
stone, and the mosquitees are unen
durable !"
"All these are trivial annoyances,"
Haid Captain Renwick, skillfully con
triving to tip over tho catnip-tea on
the current number of a popular maga
zine, in his reach after tho cigar box.
'To mo, the Adirondacks are the gar
den of the world! I shall never bo
willing to go anywhere else in the sum
mer. And she says it is even finer
hero in winter, with the trifling ex
ception of a litfclo solitude."
"Kenneth," cried his mother, in
agonized accents, 4 'you must not talk 1"
"My dearest mother, I am all right
if you only won't fret!" declared this
prodigal son.
Rut Captain Renwick's eyes were
unnaturally bright, tho hot flush of
fever burned on his cheek, and his
breathing was alternately hurried and
laborious.
It was undoubtedly tho fact that ho
had taken a severe cold during tho
camping out expedition from which
lie had just returned, and that this
cold had been proof, so far, at least,
against all tho remedies Mrs. Renwick
had used.
4< Oh, dear! oh, dear!" sighed tho
mother. "Why don't tho doctor
come? Joyce, look out of the win
dew ! Sec if there aro any signs of
him."
"The doctor?" ejaculated Captain
Renwick, raising himself on ono elbow
among his pillows. 44 You don't say
you have sent for a doctor?"
"Why, of course I have!" said Mrs.
I Renwick— 4< for Doctor Barton, from
Nylesburg."
44 A snuff-taking old fiend, who will
doeso mo with calomel, and experi
ment on me with every ono of the hun
dred-year-old drugs in his suddlo
bags!" cried the captain. 44 1 won't
see him!"
44 Dear Kenneth!" ploatod Joyce.
"My sou!"sobbed Mrs. Renwick.
"No!" ejaculated Ivonnetk. 4 'l'll
jbo hanged if Ido ! I dospiso doctors,
anyway ! And what sort of a medical
I man do you imagino would perch him
[ self up hero on tho boughs of these
i everlasting pines?"
"Kennotb, you must eoo him!" said
Mrs. Renwick.
*'Mother, I won't," stoutly declorod
tho rebel.
<4 But what will ho think?"
4 4 What ho pleases. It will matter
littlo to you or me what ho thinks,"
said Kenneth. ,4 AII I know is, that
ho shan't cross this threshold. Give
him his fee and toll him to bo gono 1"
Mrs. Ronwick and Joyce looked de
spairingly at each other. Undoubtedly
tho captaiu was master of tho situation.
If ho chooso to set tho doctor and his
gallipots at defiance, what was to be
done?
All that moment, liowovor, tliero
was a slight rustle down stairs.
4 4 Tho doctor has como !" cried Joyce,
cxcitodly, 44 with such a pretty littlo
liorso and phaeton. Oh, Ken. I'msuro
lie isu't old, and ho don't take snuff.
Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't catch a
glimpse of him."
"Ho has como, has he?" said tho
captain. 4 'Then tell him to go about
his business."
Mrs. Ogden, tho fat landlady, put
in her head at this juncture.
"Please, mem, tho doctor," said
she.
4 'Tell him—" hoarsely shouted Ken
neth, flinging tho pillows right and
loft.
But before he could eompleto his
sontenco the door opened and a tall
young lady, in a blue cloth ulster and
a pretty plumed hat, came in, with a
flat morocco caso in her hand.
"Miss Perry!" ho exclaimed, star
ing at her from the sofu, with a face
suddenly lighted into new brightness
and enthusiasm. "How kind of you
to remember mo! You aro acquainted
with my mother, are you not? Joyce,
this is Miss Perry."
The tall young lady looked com
posedly around her.
"I am sorry to hear of your illness,
Captain Renwick," said she. "We
must see what we can do for you."
"But," added Kenneth, stretching
his neck to net a look at tho door,
which was still slightly ajar, "wliero is
tho doctor? They told me ho was
coming up."
The beautiful blonde sat down and
gently took Kenneth Renwick's wrist
in her delicate fingers.
"I am tho doctor," said she. "Have
tho goodness to remain quite still for
a few moments while I ascertain tho
pulse and temperature."
Captaiu Renwick was struck dumb.
An electric thrill seemed to dart
through every pulse aud vein. But
Joyce's eyes sparkled, and tho dim
ples came out around her mouth.
"You !" she cried. "A doctor?"
Doctor Barton nodded, still intent
on tho enameled faco of her watch.
"Pernolla Barton. They call mo
Perry for short. Captain Renwick
always called mo Miss Perry. I don't
believe ho know I had any other name."
"And you are really a doctor?" said
Joyce. "Oh, Kenneth, how fortun
ate !"
Doctor Barton examined her pa
tient s tongue, listened at his lungs
aud made some abstruse hieroglyphics
in her notebook. Then she measured
out some gray powders iu infinitesi
mal papers, and left her directions in
tho most business-like way in the
world.
"I shall look in again this even
ing," she said. "It seems to be noth
ing more than a severe cold. But I
do not intend that it shall gain any
headway."
44 1 put myself entirely in your
charge," sai l Captain Renwick, with
a contented air. "I'm perfectly cer
tain that I shall get well."
"I thought you were going to scud
the doctor aliont his business." mali
ciously whispered Joyce.
"But I didn't know what sort of a
doctor it was," retorted the captaiu.
Pneumonia did not sot in after all.
Doctor Barton proved a true prophet,
and soon dispelled the heavy cold.
But Captain Ronwick had yet another
ailment—in the region of the l^eart.
"Mother," he said, coaxingly,
"wasn't I right? Ain't she lovely?"
"The sweetest girl I ever saw," Mrs.
Benwick wnrmly answered: "and the
most talented and self-reliant."
"And if, mother—"
"You will be the most fortunate
man in the world," said Mrs. Ben
wick.
Captain Bcnwiok mado the best use
of his time, and, although Dr. Bar
ton's summer vacation was over, and
she lingered and lounged at pienies,
and in the pearly shndow of water
lilies, ho still continued to make many
appointments for seeing her; and,
when he returned to tho Hundred-and-
Forty-seventh Artillery, he was an en
gaged man.
"And after tho first of November,"
ho says, "Doctor Barton will bo phy
sician advisory to but one patient." -

A Much Traveled Cat.
"I have got a pet kittoa at home,'*
Haid W. L. Slocum, of Manchester,
N. H., last night, "which, I think, has
traveled about ns rapidly and as fur
in one day as any other animal in the
world. One morning, about a month
ago, the kitten strayed into my fac
tory a short time beforo tho machin
ery was started up. It got playing
around tho floor, and soon took up its
position in tho big fly wheel, where,
without being noticed, it nestled down
and went to sleep. Boon the machin
ery was put i:i motion, tho wheel
moving so rapidly that the poorkittoD
could not escape. Indeed, it is prob
able that puss was soon unconscious
from dizziness. A litfclo computation
shows the distanoo tho cat traveled.
The wheel moves at tho rote of 251]
revolutions a minute, and at every
turn pussy woDt sevontoen feet. As
the wheel was kept in motion 390
minutes without stopping, tho kitten
must have travelled during that time
a little over 300 miles. When the
wheol was stopped the kitten was dis
covered and taken out, more dead than
alive, hut it shortly recovered, and,
although it has remained about the
factory ever since, it is observed that
it always gives tho fly wheel a wide
berth."—-St. Louis Globo-Democrat.
Chinese and Music.
Tho Chinose have some extraordin
ar.v superstitions relating to music.
According to their queer notions, the
Creator of the universe hid eight
sounds in tho earth for tho express
purposo of compelling man to find
them out.
According to tho Celestial idoa, tho
eight primitive sounds aro hidden in
stones, silks, woods of various kinds,
tho bamboo plant, pumpkins, in tho
skins of animals, in certain earths and
in tho air itself. Any one who has
ever had tho ploasuro of sooing and
listening to a Chinese orchestra will
remember that tho musical instru
ments were made of all those materials
except tho last, and that tho combined
efforts of the other sovou scoinod bet
ter calculated to drivo tho cthoreal
sound away than to coax it from tbo
air, which is really tho objoct ol all
Chinese musical efforts.
AVlieu the band plays the uaivo
credulity of the people, both old and
young, hours in tho thuds of the
gongs and tho whistling of tho pipes
the tones of tho eternal sounds of na
ture that were originally deposited in
the various animate and inanimate oh*
jects by tho all-wise Father. —Phila

Rescue oi a Sand llill Crane.
"The devotion of birds to their
young is ono of the most beautiful
sights of nature," said William P. Bux
ton, of Dubuque, last evening. "I
saw a striking illustration of this char
acteristic while on a hunting expedi
tion up in Minnesota last fall. One
day I shot and wounded p. young sand
hill crane, which with several others,
was resting on tho prairie. At tho re
port of my gun all tho birds took flight
with the exception of tho wounded ono
and one other, which was almost cer
tainly its parent. The injured bird
made several attompts to fly, and finally
succeeded in rising some ton or fifteen
feet in tho air, hut as it could not sus
tain itself it fell again to tho ground.
It tried again, however, and thu parent
bird, seeing tho trouble tho young one
was in, placed herßelf uudernoath it,
allowing it to rest its feet on her baok,
both birds continuing all tho while to
flap their wings. In this way, much
to my amazement, sho succeeded in
bearing it off to a pluco of safety."

Many a love affair which promised
to go on smoothly to the end has been
broken off by a mere trifle, said Mrs.
Botherwell. An unbecoming gown
may wreck a girl's hopes, a hasty
word or act ruin a man's chances of
sucCcss. You remember Fred Clark?
lie is a good fellow, though perhaps
not the bravest in the world. Last
summer 1 introduced him to one of
my guests, and he took a great fancy
to her. Of course I did everything
in my power to throw them together,
and among other things gave a buck
board party. They sat together on
the backseat and were getting along
finely, lie had reached the point
where he told her he could not live
without her, when the road took an
abrupt turn, and the whistle of an
approaching train sounded. It seemed
right upon, us, though it really was
on the other side of the hill. Well,
he flew out on one side of the wagon
and she out on the other, and when
we turned a ound to look for them
they had disappeared. One of the
boys Jumped out and helped her back
into the wagon, and some one res
cued him, but she was so indignant
to think that he had jumped without
caring what became of her that she
hardly spoke to him again. So you
see that match was spoiled, Then
there was Maud Atherton. A young
man who had been devoted to her for
some months invited her to join a
yachting party. She determined not
to run the risk of being seasick, so as
a preventive measure, took any
amount of smelling salts, lemons and
other things with her, and to crown
all. wore several mustard plasters.
She was not seasick, tut presently
she began to suffer agonies from the
plasters, and though she smiled and
tried to look natural she squirmed and
twitched in a manner fearful to he
hold. Of loursc her companion
noticed her apparent restlessness.
He said nothing, but after that day
she knew him no more. He after
wards declared that she was the
most nervous girl he ever saw—
just twitching all the time—and ho
had no intention of marrying a
woman on the verge of nervous pros
tration. So you sco what trifles will
break young love's slender thread.
Levity Out of Place.
One of the national vices of the
American people is levity—the un
healthy quality which, in contradis
tinction to honest and wholesome
gaiety or humor, turns all scrioU3
things to ridicule, and undermines
tiio qualities of earnestness and of
respect for real distinction.
A person reading the debates In
Congress or in the Mate Legislatures
must sometimes wonder whether the
most influential debater is not he
who can make his fellow-members
laugh the oftcuest with humorous
trivialities.
In a recent debate, a member, who
was arguing against the appoint
ment of certain federal officers from
ot er States than those in which
they were to serve, said that hoop
posed such appointments because he
was fond of watermelons, and he was
afraid that if "any more men were
sent West from Georgia there would
not be enough able-bodied persons
left there to harvest the watermelon
ciop."
At this the house laughed. It may
have served well enough as a joke,
hut it was hardly to be accepted as
an argument in favor of the point
which he was urging.
Many donates consist largely of
such Jukes, bandied back and forth
between members. There Is a gen
eral I avor of cynicism and Insincerity
about such contests, not of real wit,
but of idle levity—as if the members
did not choose to take the public
business us a serious matter at all.
■Such a tone on the part of our
legislative debates is a most unfor
t nute matter. The good citizen is
not cynical abut the public business.
Ho knows that seriousness, sincerity
and earnestness are the prime virtues
ot the public servant-

the process of bleaching suaur with
