Xlie Contentious Liip. The compressed lip beloved by the novelist is a sign of weakness rather than strength. The strong man has every feature, every physical attri bute under control. Assured of his men's obedience, the commanding ©lliccr does not habitually keep his lip muscles in a state of tension. Look at the sea captain, the most ab. •eo.utc monarch on earth. lie carries •authority and power in his .face, but 1t resides in his eye and the contldcnt •assurance of his easily set mouth. Every spar, shaft, and muscle in his floating realm must obey him, aud he knows it. This is probably a reason why the sea captains and the engine drivers show a certain simi larity of type. The engine driver can make his captive giant, strong as ten thousand men, obey the pressure ©f his linger, ilis lips are usually calm, like those of the statues of the wicldcr of thunderbolts on Olympus. Who ever saw a man commanding a man-of-war or driving a locomotive with the contentious lip of a school usher? Many elections are carried by 6tay at-home votes. Iltiril Times. It ia not meroly tho fact that a million men aro sai l to bo out of work with conse quent loss of timo, placs and money, that makes tho times sooni so tough, hut thero nro other aggravations superadded growinv our of the willful nugloet of so many, that 'make tho times seem hard, in<loel. lr bet ter times were at linud ami good places open •to all that are now idle, there are thousands who would he totally unfit to go to work by (reason oi the neglect of some infirmity "which totally uullm them to uccept a prof ffero.l chance. What better opportunity could there he to got their physical condi tion in good shape than the enforced Idle ness gives t hem? To do so is making profit out of misfortune, not to do so is making hard times so inucu harder. It is poor logie to make anything had grow wore-, and it is no economy at all to save expense by sacri ficing health. A man wants brawn, muscle and brain in as nearly a perfect condition as Is possible, to gain a victory in the battle of life. Jt Is mostly from a beginning iu little things that the greater ones accumulate anl finally overwhelm u*. There is hurJly ono man who labors witu his muscles, from the skilled mechanic down to those who work with pick and shovel, but has soma bodily ailment neglected. What costly trilling it is, looked at troni results. For example : the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons an t mus oles are all uuder constant strain Jrom the nature and demands of their work. Aches and pains must ensue. These, neglected, soon roach the chrome stage of stiffened limbs Irom contracted muscles. How many old mechanics huve bent backs and back niches wo know.

IT.IZE STOEY BY JOHN A O. HAI.Ii. JT was a rapturous spring clay. I had yah)/ accomplished my K™ errand with an ease pP*| and facility which £o?put me on the best ~ jgjH possible terms with frjSsSfw myself and all sales " man-kind, and was sauntering home- Itfll jlßal'l Wllr d up Eleventh mi§ !-n I street - My lagging Bte P s were not from languor, but a J *' mere reluctance to going in-doors aud again putting, architectural barriers between me and tho free airy undulations of the sea son's breath. "Please, muiu, can ye fell me where St. Patrickscs Church is?" The voice had iu it some of the clear rustic jubilant ring of tho sleigh-bells under the star-lights. It was liquid with laughter ns the bob-o-liuk's ec static twitter over meadows of butter cups aud daisies. The face of the speaker was of the Irish-American type. The curves of her mouth rip pled into Biniles; her limpid oyos re minded mo of the eddying pools of a trout-brook in their fascinating un certainty of depth; and the warm rich color came and went in her plump cheeks like the liashes of tlasao in a midwinter aurora. "Please, mum," she began again. I must have gazed in her face too loDg, for the question was repeated. "St. Patrick's!" I replied, medita tively. "Do you know what street it is on?" "Oh, yes; they tells me it's on Tenth, between 'F' and 'G,' but I don't know how how to Cud any of these streets." A perfect trill of laughter followed this confession, as. though her own ignorance of Wash-i ingtoa topography were tho rarestl joke in the budget. "Ah, I remember. I can show it toi you from tho next corner," aud I. turned in upon "H" street and sig-| nailed to her to follow. "But the trouble I'm giving ye,i mum." A little touch of alarm shaded) her face for an instant. "You can't have been long in Wash-) ington?" "Ob, yes! It's going on two years.| But I don't step my foot in the street! but once a mouth, and I'm that stupidl I don't just git on to how they go." . "Your mistress ought to give you a. holiday ottener than that," I said, with a sudden stir in tho blood that quickens the indignant puljo of there former when a new case of tyranny comes to his ear. Again she laughed, setting all the mirthful possibilities of her faco into brisk concerted action. "She's me own mother, mum, but she's sick iu her mind, daft like, since she got hurt. Why, she's wild if I'm out of her sight, so I almost never leave her." "How could you get out to-day ?" I asked, not without iuward remon strance at my own inquisitivoncss, but I felt myself to be iu touch with a rare character and longed to deter mine its constitutional elements. "You'll laugh when I tell you, but sho's havin' another weddin' day and thinks I'm after the priest" Indeed, I would huve laughed long and loud if anything could have infused the music into my tone that echoed through hers with such inCnity of sweet variations. "You speak us though she'd had wide experience in wedding days. She 11 know how to muko her daugh ter's a brilliant ono later," I said, with most reprehensible familiarity. lho sleigh-bell ring in her voice deepened to the dignity of a cathe dral chime as she answered: "Ho, mum. It s likely I shan't never get married myself. I can't leave her while she lives. Larry, he's promised to wait, but something may happen. Yc can't tell." I should have looked in vain for a blush on her already rosy face, but she went on simply with the story of her mother. "It's the loth of the mouth and Ann Ryan's always at home when they stop tho mill to eloau it. She comes in to with mother. She looks like my mother's bridesmaid, they say. Somo way she always puts mother in mind of that day. Tho minute Ann Ilyau comes in mother gels out her old wed din' dress and puts it on. We stick up the old paper Bowers over the mantel and pin sheets over the chairs to make everything look nice for the bride. She kind o' forgets about me then, and while Ann sings 'The Bride of Killarney and 'lho Eour-Leaved Shamrock Jo' Glenore' I slip out for an hour. That's how it is, mum." "Doesn't she get impatient for tho guests to come or for the service to be read? I asked, feeling tho intense pathos of this dried-up aud withered mind clinging so tenaciously to its one supreme memory. "How does it all end?" "Elegantly, always, She always gets tired trying to think of j/tliingsi gone by and just falls asleep iu her chair and sleeps till it's almost dark. She's sort o' dazed like, when weajive her her supper and get liar to bed I put away all the weddin* things, i and next day she'j forgotten it^all." At that instant a boy with flowers in his hand passed us on the other side. Only a gleamof 'the \yel low daflodils reached our eyes. "Saints be praised!" exclaimed) the girl, as she stood stock still 'with her hands clasped rapturously, together; "Be they merrygools, mun^?" "I'm afraid not. Did {you want some:" I asked, wondering what this new burst of emotion couldfnean. "I've wanted somo for years and years," she said, and her tone were muffled now, and fa tear drop rolled down her cliaek. "They aro hard to find, I'm afraid. Florists do not raise them. Few peo ple want them. You might 'perhaps find them in somo country garden," I might as well have suggested her picking a celestial nosegay of i ama ranths and asphodels. All were equally out of her reach. "Mebby ye think I'm daft'too," she said, with a return oi the ohhsuushiue to her face. "Mother's always talk ing about merrygools. There's-some thing she wants to tell us—dlauuy and me. She begins, 'Listen, my chil dren. It was a great time. I'd picked all the merrygools'—and * there she gets crazed, like, aud you caui't under stand any more." "Does she mean the dark velvet ones, or the daisy-like ones?" "Just like velvet, mum. I saw some when I was a little girl." Wo had reached St. Patrick's and, even been standing by the steps of the terrace. She had thanked mo for? my guidanco with warm ebullient) gratitude, but I 6till detained her. "Come to see me on your mother's) next wedding day," I said, giving her my address. "Somo ono will helpi you find the place. I'll go this minute) to Twelfth street to see if I cau not* buy some marigold seeds. My'garden er shall plant somo to-day. We mayi get somo blossoms in that way before] the season is out." She caught up my hand impulsively* and gave a resonant smack to the backt of my glove, and vented the surpluti of her overflowing joy at the autioipa-t tion in smother clear ripple of laugh-- ter a little solemnized by our prox imity to the §acred walls, along whose! gray surfaces she slowly raised her eyes heavenward. A moment later' she disappeared within the wido door-' way. I found with delight that fashion inij flowers had not exterminated all the! antique pets of the garden. I accom-t plished my purpose with no other hin-j dranco than a little amiable homo ridicule at the eccentricity of this mild philanthropy. During the entire month that fol lowed I watched the tiuy sprouts, un fold into deeply incised or palmate leaflets, and the morning of the fif teenth found tho littlo plants tall enough to wave at the touch of the gentle breezes. Early in the after noon my new friend appeared looking more blooming than ever, tier hap piness touched into even deeper (dim ples all the angles of her mouth and eyes, but her laugliter was reserved until 1 took her into tho garden and showed her the thriving growths. "Sure they bo merrygools, mum?" "Oh, yes? Tho gardener knows the I order of the plant, he says." She was down on lior knees in.an in stant, burying her face in the dark green mass. When the exuberance of her delight bad expended itself we sat down under a magnolia near 1 by, and it was then I heard another part of the family history. "Yes, mum, my father died six months before his father did. Then mother and Uncle Mike had to go over to tho old country to see about the property, for grandfather was a rich man, bnt close, like, with his chil dren. Something dreadful happened to mother whilo theyiwere gone. They say how something hit her on the head. She can't telbnud Uncle Mike wouldn't. Mebby heiwns iu drink and don't know any more than we. Bnt they came home worse off than ever. Couldn't get a cent. And now Uncle Mike's gouo off and wo don't know whether he's dead or alive." Tho hour of our chat was short and tho month that followed was long. That flower bed was my clock and my calendar. Every forcing process known to horticulture was used and the best results followed. A week be fore the loth, velvot buds began to unfold, and when tho longed for day arrived there were scores of rich, cheerful looking blossoms, sending out their strong, pungent odor upon the hot, sultry air. The sun had scarcely beguu to settle into its after noon decline before tho supremo mo ment had arrived, and my guest and I went down the steps with scissors and basket. The birds hovered and seemed excited by the metallic click of the steel, and almost burst their tiuy throats with song. Perhaps they felt in their downy breasts that tho young girl's laughing notes as they melted upward into the sunny air blended with their own wordless "Te Denm." AVhen the basket was filled aud the moment of departure had arrived, she turned her lnmiuous face full upon me and said: "'Twould be mighty queer if I should ask you another fa vor still, when 1 ought to be down on my knees a tliaukiu' the Lord for what He's made ye do for mo already." I implored her to speak out her wish frankly. "If only ye could come with mo and see the old mother when she gets them." It was the dearest wish of my heart, though I would not have suggested the intrusion for the world. We proceed ed far out toward the higher grounds to the north and turned into a little street quite too narrow for vehicles to pass each other. Up the stairs wo climbed, past Ann Ryan's door, and entered. There, sure enough, sat the perenuial bride in the midst of the ghostly or nnptial array of white draped furniture. She was fast asleep in her old arm-ohair, and was still crooning the last strains of "Kathleen O'Moore." "Mother, dorlin'! Wake up. I've brought ye something," said the girl, giving the wrinkled brow a kiBS. The old creature started up wildly and gazed about bewildered. "Yes, I do!" she said, with a slow, 6tern voice, "l'ou never believe me, but I do smell merrvgools." "I do believe ye this time. See here, and here, and here!" and the jubiluut maiden tossed handful after handful in her mother's lap. The poor dazed creature rubbed her eyes and pressed her head with her bauds and sat for a long time in silence. Then she began turning over the flowers as though seeking something underneath. "Where did I put that paper? 1 hid it in my lap under the merry gools. ' "When was it, mother, aarlin'i" asked ihe daughter, calmly, but with an intensity of eagerness hard to sub due into such magnificent quietness oi manner. "Before the fight began? Then he hit me. Oh h!" She looked around the room in terror of the shadow; memories that eanio back to her. Her weak mind was strained to its utmost tension. Suddenly she got up and went to the little trunk which usually contained the weddiug dress, and part ing a little slit in tho lining with her finger pulled out u yellow paper and almost shouted in the intensity of her delight. Of course I did not know tho significance of the document thus curiously brought to light. I slipped out quietly and came away. It wag not till mouths later that I learned the outcome of it all. One bright Btarry evening in Octo ber, after my return iroin a long mountain sojourn, I was summoned below to lind my old "merrygool" friend, who was waiting upon tho sitie verandah to seo me. We sat down un der tho flaming woodbine, in its gor geous autumnal hue, and had a long talk. Great changes had come to the little household. The mother's vi tality ha.l declined from that trium phant moment when the paper had been found, and she died a few weeks later. My friend and her brother had both been to Dublin, and the violent dealings of o wicked lawyer had been brought down upon his own pate so far ns to dispossess him of the estate ho so unrighteously held, and to turn the current of monetary transmission into its legal channel again and make mv Irish friends comfortable for life. "And now I want to tell ye one thing more," added the girl as she rose to go, "and I musu't keep Larry awaitin' too long," sho said, point ing out tho tall figure that had cast its shadow over us many times as it had pasted up and down outside the gate. "We're go ing to be married iu n week. He's foreman of the mill now and Danny's got a shop of his own, but he'll live with us till he gets a home for him self." This combination of happy circumstances called out one of the old peals of laughter. Even the katy dids stopped their harsh dispute to listen. "Wouldn't you like a bunch of marigold's to-night?" I asked. "It's kind indeed you are," she said, with a smile that showed her dimples evon in the dim light from the street, but I've got a little garden of my owu now, and there are three buds of mer rygools in blossom yet. Ye'll think it's queer, I'm afraid," she added, with a soft organ-stop modulation iu her voice, "but I've got 'em growiu' on my mother's grave. Sho thought so much of 'em, you know." I assured her that other flowers than white roses and day lillics might bo made a sacred tribute to tho dead. "And maybe its queerer still," sho added, in a half whisper, "but I'm goin' to trim up tho house with 'em and wear 'em myself when I'm mar riod."—Washington Pathfinder. The Chicago Style. "Maybe it's a chestnut worked over," remarked the drummer to tho hotel clerk, "out I heard a story the other day which illustrates tho kind ofmeu some Ckicagoaus are." "Let her go," said the clerk en couragingly. "One of those rich fellows there," continued the drummer, "had a close fisted friend of his with him at his country place, and during the evening tho friend dropped a quarter iu the glass ami immediately weut dowu uu his kuces to find it.

Told Tliem To Help Themselves. A queer story of anarchism comes from Italy. Not long ago tho laborers on the estate of a rich proprietor named Mai, living near Milan, came to his house with the harvested graiu. They were met by his son, a youth of twenty-three, who made them u speech, telling them that tho graiu they had sown and cut was theirs by natural right, and bidding them t:> take it home and shout "Long live anarchy !" After some pressure they obeyed, nnd ou the father's return the help of the police was required to make them give up the coru again. The son thought it prudent to leave the country.—Picayune, EDUCATION IN GROWING THINGS How Children Can lie Kept Interested by Well-Selected "Rubbish." Give a little child congenial em ployment, and he will almost lnvarl ably be happy and good-natured. Toys alone are not all that he re quires—his active little mind de mands the stimulus of Intelligent oc cupation, even at ihe early age of 3 Dr. 4, and it behooves a mother who has the responsibility of his mental growth at heart to provide the where withal for development. There Is something very touching and beauti ful in seeing an intellectual woman of real ability eagerly interested in the rudiments for the sake of her little child, says the New York Tribune.

In a month or two it will throw a root into the water, and shoot upward a straight little stem, from which will develop tiny beautiful green leaves. You have no idea how such experiments delight very young children, and how It awakens their intelligence. An other interesting bitof growth for tho nursery Is to take one of these pine cones, place it in a wine glass half tilled with water, and after It has imbibed the moisture for a few days sprinkle it with canary seed. In a week's time the seed will sprout, to the intense satisfaction of the tiny gardener. Or an old sponge may be kept wet and completely covered with living green.

Is British Tratlo Prospering. In au article under this head the Loudon Spectator thus sums up the situation: "There seems to us to be, on the whole, little justification for either optimism or pessimism as re gards trade piospects. The nation is doing a great trade—greater than, with small exceptions, it has ever done before—but not so great in pro portion to its rapidly increasing popu lation. There is an immediate pros pect of still further decline in the yield of our agriculture, and as yet no immediate prospect of a compcn rating rise in the producing powers of manufacture and trade. Still, such prospects are never visible from afar, and they may appear at any moment. There is no excuse for pes simism, but there is not much foi optimism, for any optimism at least would render us insensible to the duty of prudence, of forbearance, ol moderation in treating the difficulties between class and class. In the meantime we can rejoice that the laboring class is securing more of its due than it has ever yet secured, and yet for the present the pinch falls upon those classes which are not without resources, though their re sources are rapidly dwindling in their hands."
