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?

to make anything had grow wore-, and it is
no economy at all to save expense by sacri

"MEIUtYGOOLS."
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.

hotel clerk, "out I heard a story the

"One of those rich fellows there,"
continued the drummer, "had a close

country place, and during the evening
tho friend dropped a quarter iu the

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. At an al fresco tea in the
Berkshlres not long ago a well-known
authoress comment el tilling her pock
ets with "rubbish," as she laughingly
called the collection she proposed to
add to a trunk full of 0.1d9 and ends
which, as she explained, she Intend
ed taking back to town for occupa
tion for her small boy during the
winter. Dried mosses and curious
insects, preserved in alcohol to ex
amine with the microscope; pressed
wild llowers and grasses for a herba
rium, and various seeds from inter
esting plants to start in the spring,
etc.
"You can raakealovely experiment
with an acorn or chestnut," she said
byway of illustration, "by suspend
ing one by a thread within half an
inch of the surface of the water con
tained in a hyacinth glass, and
leaving it undisturbed. 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. Object lessons
such as those teach many things
which the inquisitive intelligence of
early childhood imbibes without ef
fort, but which cannot fail to de
velop and enlarge the mind." Moth
ers who, like Martha, are careful
about many things and worry per
petually over the physical well-being
of their children should consider
whether they are careful to supply
nutriment to tho hraiu as well as the
body.

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."
