Americans whose daughters marry

not much difference between the aris

One of the problems that confront
the modern civilization lies in the faet
that nothing of importance can hap
pen without having poetry written
about it.
The latest town seal, devised by a
Kansas man, represents a large horn

By living a useful and industrious
though unostentatious life as an Amer
ican citizen, the late Benjamin Harri
son did much to efface the perplexity
over wttat shall become of former
Presidents.
"The prime secret of my success,"
declares Mr. Charles M. Schwab,
President of tile great steel trust, "is
loving my work—loving it for its own
sake." It ought to be an easy matter
to get stuck on one's job—at $1,000,000
a year.
The Justices of the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts have donned black
gowns. The judicial wig Is not yet in
evidence, but it may come. The de
cisions are not, however, expected to
be any sounder because of this out
ward Old World display of dignity.
One of the big English transatlan
tic steamship lines has decided here
after to purchase all its table supplies
in the United States. This means
that the company proposes to save
money and also to feed its passengers
on the best that can be obtained.
Lord Salisbury's latest question of
privilege should be disquieting to pes
simists who pretend to see the British
Empire at its last gasp. It has result
ed in permission to take his daily
bicycle ride in the Buckingham Palace
"rounds. The throne does not totter
while the Premier rides his wheel.
Japan is rapidly becoming an im
portant market for the American
horse. That country is rapidly in
creasing her cavalry, and lias very
recently decided to add forty field bat
teries to her military equipment. Not
much danger of there being a surplus
of horses in the United States for
some years at least.
Two more little ones have been add
ed to the long list of children burned
to death because left locked up alone
in a room when the house caught fire.
Tot thoughtless parents keep on turn
ing the key on their little ones and
"taking chances." No child Is thus
left without risking its life and it is
hard to understand how parents can
continue the practice.
"Man's best friend" is beholden to
the automobile for some slight favors,
despite the faet that the latter is
steadily hut surely ousting the erst

proud position. In Boston the other

I Half a minute before the Riverdale
express was to pull out of the Grand
Central station, a cab dashed up to
the entrance, a tall, atheltic young
fellow leaped out. handed the driver
a bill, grabbed his suit case and
' rushed to the ticket office. He had
barely time to run down the long sta
, tion to his train, for &s he swung
• himself up the steps the engine slowly
pulled out with its heavy load. The
four-twenty for Riverdale generally
was crowded, and this particular day
1 was no exception. As the young man
x passed through car after car not a va
. cant seat was to be seen. Finally he
. stopped by the only place left in the
whole train. Next the window sat a
remarkably pretty girl of about 20.
, Chic was written all over her. from
the folded Persian scarf on her little
traveling hat to the perforated tips of
1 her jaunty Oxfords. For the rest
there was a brown skirt—short, of
l course—a white waist, with scarlet
belt and butterfly tie.
, The young man hesitated a moment.
She glanced up with a pair of brown
eyes in which contended mischief
and demureness. The young man
gave a little start, but the girl straight
' way looked out of the window again,
i. so said nothing and sat down. She
! appeared tc find the landscape of cob
j blestoned streets and Harlem flats ex-
I tremely interesting for she gazed at
j them intently. Once she turned and
f glanced at him, but finding his eyes
t I —frank, blue eyes they were—fixed on
. her, she turned away with a little
, toss of her curly, brown head, and he
j could see the red blood mount in her
i tanned cheek.
i I "Hang it," he said to himself; "T
am sure that it is."
I I Which remark, though not clear to
an outsider, was full of meaning to
' | him. For this same brown-eyed face
I was fixed in his memory; he had seen
those same brown curls under vastly
: : different circumstances, and had
. , thought of them more than i 3 deemed
J consistent when a man is engaged
,to some one else. Richard Madison
r I was a young man of some wealth,
' | nominally in charge of a fine old es
j tate, but the lifelong friend and law
yer of his late father attended to the
. business so well that the young man
I was only too glad to leave it entirely
'| In these hands and enjoy himself
5 ; traveling. The past 15 months he had
' spent abroad with several friends, and
he had but that very morning stepped
I off the fleetest of modern ocean grey
hounds.
I His first thought was to run up to
. Rose Hill and see Helene Cary, his
fiancee. She did not know he was
coming, for their correspondence of
1 late had not been very spirited.
i Helene had been at Newport, and
, yachting a good deal. She was a fav
orite socially, as she was rich, and
j more amiable than clever. Their en
gagement had never been announced
j but it had been an understood thing
between their families for several
years. From a social standpoint it
, was an excellent match, but Madison
had often found himself wishing that
Helene was—well, "different." He
1 could not exactly define what he
i meant. "Since that idiot Morris told
her she looked like Eames she has
! been colder than ever." ho had said
. to himself savagely. He thought now
of Helene's placid eyes and smooth
hair.
1 "Now, If it only curled, like—
like "
! His eyes wandered again to the J
, brown curls so close to his shoulder, !
, and he thought of the time he had
seen this same pretty head dripping
; wet and the small face very white.
It was just six months ago. With two
chums he was steaming along the
Thames in a launch, between the beau
tiful green banks and picturesque
homes of which the English are so
justly proud. Suddenly they heard a
shriek and a splash and turned to see
a white dress disappear into the water.
Madison sprang out and swam toward
her; missed her the first time, but
j when she next came up grabbed her,
I and in a moment's time was rolling
' her most unromantically on the grass,
, while the people of the house came
, rushing down with restoratives and
thanksgivings in the usual incoherent
1 jumble. He remembered how he broke
: away from them as soon as she opened
those brown eyes, and many times
since he had groaned inwardly at his
i idiotic remark when she looked into
; his eyes and murmured some words
of thanks. And now. after all these
• months, here he was sitting in the
same seat with her—on the way to
see Helene.
They were just entering the tunnel
' now, and the girl struggled to close
J the window. Before she could make it
work, however, in they dashed, and a
. whiff of the ill smelling smoke swept
. In. Madison reaching over to the ob
stinate window, which, recognizing the
1 masculine touch, obediently closed.
• Somehow In the process his hand met
• hers.
"Thank you ever so much." said a
small, sweet voice, when he had re
sumed his seat. He raised his hat.
"Don't mention it."
She turned now and looked straight
1 Into his eyes, while an amused exprea
j alon danced in her own.
"Do you always say that?" she
, asked.
"So you have consented to recognize
me," he replied. "Awfully good of you.
No. I have a few other phrases at my
command if I only have a chance to
show them off."
1 | "Why did ycu run away?" she d*-
| manded.
( "Why—er—you know I had to go
1 after my hat—it was floating down
j the river, you know."
The last part of his sentence was
lost in her burst of laughter.
| "How perfectly absurd!" she ex
claimed, and laughed again. "But if
that isn't just like a man —to save a
girl's life, and not stay for thanks •■sd
I introductions because his precious hat
is gone! We tried and tried to find
i you, but we only had that place for
j the season and left in about a month
] afterwards."
| "We?"
j "The aunts I always travel around
with. They have been ready ever
since to fall on your neck with grati
tude and tears."
"Oh," protested the young man. on
whose brow the laurels of life-saver
did not rest easily; "it didn't amount
to anything."
| "Oh. of course not," she answered
! quickly, with exaggerated politeness;
"but you needn't lay such stress on
It."
"But, I " he began. Then their
eyes met and both laughed.
; "Your c; cs arc brighter than ever,"
he said.
"And you've shaved your mustache."
"Why, I haven't worn a mustache
for a year. That's another rescuer
you are thinking about. Is it a habit
of yours to fall into the river when
a young man happens to go by in a
boat?"
She flashed a scornful glance in his
direction.
"I never forget anybody or anything,
though that is more than some people
might say. You wore a mustache in
the fall '99 going up the Nile. It shows
in the picture."
"So it was you who took that snap
shot of me from the stern of the Sil
ver Sail?"
"I was photographing all the funny
things I saw." Another smile danced
in the brown eyes.
"To think," said he, addressing the
plush-backed seat In front of them,
"that I have known you more than a
year, and this is our third meeting—
and I don't know your name yet."
"I don't know yours."
"It is Dick."
"Mine is Dolly."
"Then my other name ought to be
long to you, too, for it is Madison, and
that combination would just suit you."
They were out of the tunnel long
ago.
"Open the window please., now,"
said Dolly. "It is getting a little close
don't you think?"
He obeyed silently.
"Where are you going now, Dolly?"
She looked out of the window, ab
sorbed in the spectacle of a black dog
chasing a yellow one across the field.
"I am going to Riverdale—Mr. Madi
son."
"Do you live there—Miss Dolly?"
"Miss Seymour," she put in.
"Not Dorothy Seymour—l-Sarvey's
sister?" he cried.
"Yes," she cried. "Why not?"
"Why, he used to blow about you
until wo were all crazy to see you,
and then you never did show up at
commencement or anything and we de
cided you were a myth."
"There!" she exclaimed. "That ex
plains it."
"What?"
"Why, your face being so familiar.
You are the one with the banjo sitting
in the window-seat of Harvey's room
at college. He has a picture at home
of his den, with half a dozen of the
boys in it."
"Oh, I remember that picture. Well,
isn't it all strange? Miss Seymour, do
you believe in fate?"
"What do you call fate?"
"Well, sometimes I think that you
are destined to do a certain thing
or meet a certain person, and fate
acts as a sort of a conductor, you
know." Here he stopped rather con
fusedly. He had just thought of
Heleno for the first time.
"Possibly," said Miss Seymour.
"Where do you think fate is taking
you now?"
He gave himself an inward shake.
"I am going to Rose Hill," he said.
"Oh. d 4 you know people there? I
spent a few days last week at Rose
Hill. I didn't know many people there,
and they say that nothing happens
there in an age; but we had at least
one exciting event during my stay."
"What was that?"
"Why the beauty of the place—let
me see, what was her name?—
eloped. Her family was terribly
shocked. My friend says they are very
proud, and that the girl was tired of
society. Cary—that was her name—
Heleno Cary. Why, do you know
her?"
"I have met her," replied Madison,
whose heart was thumping violently.
"Perhaps that was an illustration
of the fate you were talking about,"
she went on. "Love is a curious thing,
isn't it?"
"Rose Hill!" called the conductor
from the end of the car.
"Why, this is your station!" ex
claimed Miss Seymour. "You will
have to hurry."
But Madison sat still, though he
kept the little hand she had held out
to him for good-by.
"I think." said he, "if you don't
mind, 1 will go on with you to River
dale." —Waverley Magazine.

I.aso 1 ngrst it title or Mil Orlol.,
The oriole, it seems, had tumbled
out of Its swinging nest and was
picked up by a lady. When the lady
attempted to put the bird back in the
nest the bird objected. His little whim
was respected and he was taken into
the house. A diet of worms was fur
nished, but Mr. Oriole soon showed a
taste for the things that human be
ings eat, and bread, boiled eggs and
sugar took the place of the worms.
He developed a fondness for candy,
and that also was supplied.
While he was very charming, he was
also a very determined little autocrat.
He had away of waking up his mis
tress in the morning and demanding
his breakfast of bread and water.
After he had been fed he would take
an after-breakfast nap on his mis
tress's pillow. He was full of fun and
enjoyed nothing better than to get
hold of and tangle his mistress's hair.
In consequence, while the combing
process was going on, this small,
fluffy creature had to be put out of the
room.
When autumn came and the rest of
the birds began to get ready for the
winter trips southward the oriole be
gan to get restless. One morning he
was seen hopping on the window
ledge. The next instant there was a
flash of yellow—and he had gone hack
to his own people and liis own ways.
His experiment in civilization was
over. —Baltimore Sun.
Seen Through n Stereoscope.
When you look at an ordinary pic
ture all the figures in it appear flat,
but when you look at a picture through
a stereoscope the figures appear solid,
and stand out from their surroundings,
just as they do iu life. Comparatively
few persons, perhaps, understand how
the stereoscope produces this effect,
but the prinieple is very simple. When
we look at an object, say the trunk of
a tree, each eye sees it differently, the
right eye seeing the front and a part
of the right side, and the left eye see
ing front and a part of the left side.
In other words the right eye receives
one image of the trunk and the left
eye another, and it is the union of
these two images that makes the
trunk appear solid instead of flat.
Now, if two photographs of the
tree trunk he taken, one from where
the right eye sees it and the other
from where the left eye sees it. and
an arrangement be made by which
they can be united, so as to come to
our eyes as one picture, precisely the
same effect will be produced as if we
looked at tho object itself, and it will
of course, appear solid.
The stereoscope accomplishes this
perfectly. Every slide used in the in
strument bears two pictures. They
seem to be exactly alike, but they
are not, for one of them is for the
right eye and the other for tho left,
and the lenses are so adjusted that
they bring one of the pictures over
the other and make them form a single
image in our eyes. That is why the
object appears solid, for in looking at
the two pictures of it through the
stereoscope we see it exactly as v;e do
when we look at the object itaslf.—
Philadelphia Record.
A Helpful Ktibit).
One evening recently, while lying
In my hammock, I noticed a wounded
robin fluttering and hopping across
the lawn. It was making its way to
ward a maple tree in which I knew
a pair of robins had their nest.
Having reached the foot of the tree,
it made several futile efforts to fly
up into the branches, but only suc
ceeded in fluttering around in a circle
near the ground, as one wing was
broken. It seemed to be a hopeless
struggle, and I wondered how it would
end.
I had recently been reading "Wake
Robin," and these words of John Bur
roughs came to my mind: "One may
go blackberrying and make some dis
covery. Secrets lurk on all sides.
There is news in every bush. What no
man ever saw may the next instant
be revealed to you."
The repeated efforts of the bird to
reach its nest attracted the attention
of its mate. She soon flew down be
side him, emitting piteous little notes.
After hopping anxiously around him
for a few moments, she flew away,
and the wounded robin settled quietly
down in the grass.
In three or four minutes the mate
returned with a large worm In its
bill, which It deposited by the side
of the sufferer. The worm was eager
ly devoured by Mr. Robin, who then
again rested in the grass, his mate
meanwhile having returned to her
nest.
Presently the robin, having appar
ently regained some strength, began
to chirp, and was answered from the
branches above. His mate again flew
down to his side, and now tho robin
made a desperate attempt to fly or
spring up; his mate, with outstretched
wings, got under him, and by their
united efforts they gained the bran h
s and their nest.
I heard them chirping for Quite a
while, evidently trying to find a com
fortable position for the wounded
bird, and then as it had grown dark,
I ceased to watch them.—Cincinnati

Mosquitoes and Tlielr Ways.
The department of agriculture re
cently printed a little pamphlet on
"The Mosquitoes of the United States,"
compiled by Dr. Howard from infor
mation gathered last summer. In the
first place, the doctor found that the
insect Is native in every part of the
globe; that he thrives quite as well
in Lapland as in South America and
Africa —somewhat more vigorously, in
ffcct and that he is scattered over
Uncle Sam's possessions from Maine
to Alaska and from Washington to
Porto Rico.
Heretofore it has been thought that
the mosquito could breed only in
water, loving stagnant ponds and
streams above all other nurseries, but
Dr. Howard finds that immense
swarms of them live in dry prairie
districts, miles away from all water.
While some scientists believe that
this proves that the insect can breed
away from pools and ponds, the doc
tor is inclined to hold that the hardy
little torment lives from one rainy
season to the next.
Adult mosquitoes sleep through the
winter like frogs and toads, but they
very quickly die when confined under
glass in summer. Without food they
will thrive in a closed glass jar about
eight days, but when provided with a
ripe banana, renewed twice a week,
they have lived thus for two months.
The doctor also finds that, contrary
to the general notion, mosquitoes do
not require blood for food. There is
a wide difference between the mouths
of male and female mosquitoes. The
males can live a long time without
nourishment of any sort, and the fe
r.iale does not absolutely need the
blood of living animals. The females
are evidently natural plant eaters,
while both sexes thrive in great
swarms far from animals which form
their usual prey. Potatoes and water
melon rinds are food for both, and
they sometimes attack fish and other
cold-blooded creatures.
Railroads play an important part in
distributing them to new localities,
and, though they cannot fly in strong
breezes and generally take shelter in
trees during gales, they have been
known to travel surprising distances
in the suction created by a railway
train.
Awkward Johnnie.
There was once a little boy who met
with so many dreadful accidents that
he was called Awkward Johnnie.
He was always getting bruises and
cuts, tearing his clothes and being car
ried home half drowned or with his
bones broken. The family got tired of
pitying him. and on such occasions
only remarked:
"What an awkward boy Johnnie Is!"
Once he went to pay a visit to his
grandmother. She felt somewhat ner
vous about Johnnie's visit. But she
had always declared that if she had
charge of him he would not be so
troublesome. So when his mother
begged her to try Johnnie, she could
not very well refuse.
When he arrived his grandmother
said anxiously:
"I hope you will be a good boy,
Johnnie."
"Why, of course," replied Johnnie.
You don't think I'm awkward, do you?"
"No, Johnnie. I'm sure you are not
awkward," answered the kindly grand
mother.
But the first day Johnnie caught his
leg in the reaping machine. His
grandmother was glad when he was
safely in bed.
The second day he tore his best
jacket to pieces among the gooseberry
bushes.
"Did your mother say she would
come for you tomorrow, Johnnie?"
inquired his grandmother.
"Yes-um!"
"I'm afraid you're too old for me
to begin to cure you of your awkward
ness now, Johnnie."
"Yes-um!" said Johnnie, from the
bed-clothes.
The next morning there was a slight
shower.
"But it will clear toward night,"
said Johnnie's grandmother. "Sit
down and keep out of mischief, for if
anything should happen you won't
have a suit of clothes fit to go home
in!"
Johnnie sat in the parlor, reading
all the morning. His grandmother's
heart was quite softened by his good
behaviour, and after luncheon she
gave his permission to go out on the
porch.
The rain had stopped. Andrew had
dug a trench along the road to drain
the garden, and the water was begin
ning to rush through it in a stream.
What a charming place to sail boats.
A half hour later, while Johnnie's
grandmother was dozing peacefully in
the parlor, she heard Johnnie open
the door.
"Is that you. Johnnie?" she said.
"Yes-um," answered Johnnie. "You
don't think I'm awkward now, do you,
grandmother?"
"Oh, no. Johnnie; I think you have
improved very much since you have
been here. lam sure you will become
a very well-behaved child."
Then Johnnie stepped around in
front of his grandmother's chair, and
when she saw him she said:
"Good gracious!"
Johnnie was covered with mud from
head to foot. The streams of water
ran down into little pools all over the
carpet!
And Johnnie's smartness did not
save him from the spanking he de
served! —Brooklyn Es.gle.

Upholstered In Red I.eather.
Red leather is the newest color tone
for the seat coverings of dining room
or library chairs. This has been
brought about by the vogue of the
darker toned oaks with which it har
monizes better. Green was better with
the light oaks in style several seasons
ago, with which red would look just
as out of place as the green does with
the more sombre tones used now.
Sandwich SiiKSCitlnni.
Use wheat bread, rye bread, "kim
melbrod," "pumpernickel" or salt
water crackers.
For filling use thinly sliced cold
meat, fowl, cheese, eggs (hard boiled),
sardines or caviare.
Slice the bread thinly, and have the
butter soft enough to spread evenly.
Sandwiches should not be over three
quarters of an inch thick nor more
than three and a half inches square.
Woodwork Flnißlten.
Wood stains are entering more and
more into the artistic composition of
the modern home. Exclusive designers
nowadays consider the tint of the
woodwork in relation to the wall ami
floor coverings as much as the hang
ing and the furniture. The variety
and beauty of the colorings given the
woodwork is very effective. Dark
green woodwork with yellow walls is
one of the latest schemes that is very
fashionable. There is a light sage
green tint that is stunning in a dining
room, too.

A breakfast and a luncheon are
similar, but not identical; one is given
at twelve o'clock and the other at one
half after one, in the first place; then
a luncheon may or may not begin with
fruit, but it is imperative that a break
fast should do so. The final course of
a luncheon, before the coffee, is a
sweet, usually, an ice cream with cake,
while a breakfast may or may not have
this course, hut it must have cheese and
crackers with the coffee. The ar
rangements of the table, however, the
doilies or elaborate cloth, tho flowers,
the cards, and favors are the same in
both meals.—Harper's Bazar.
To Clean White Ostrich Feathers.
Dissolve into two quarts of rather
hot water four ounces of white castiio
soap cut into small pieces. Make the
solution into a lather by beating it
with a stick. Introduce the feathers
or boa and rub well with the hands
until they are quite clean. If neces
sary renew the solution, but this will
not he essential unless the feathers
are very much soiled. After the soap
ing wash in clean water as hot as the
hands can bear. Shake until dry and
when entirely dry curl by taking a few
strands of the feather at a time and
drawing them firmly and quickly over
a strip of whalebone. The curl
should be very loose.—American
Queen.
LRWH of Health.
Reading aloud is conducive to

Coarse bread is much better for
children than fine.
Young people and others cannot
study much by lamplight with impu
nity.
The best beds for children are of
hair, or in the winter of hair and cot
ton.
Children should sleep in separate
beds, and should not wear night caps.
Children should he taught to use
their left hand as much and as well as
their right.
Sleeping rooms should have a fire
place or some mode of ventilation be
side the windows.
The best remedy for eyes weakened
by night use is a fine stream of cold
water frequently applied to them.

The Care of face iiirtU.
Cage birds require a good deal more
attention than they get, and many
people, though devoted to their pets,
are thoughtless in this respect.
Green food is as necessary for our
little feathered friends as it is for us,
and they should have some daily.
A lettuce leaf will be greatly appre
ciated, the succulent mid-rib will be
eaten voraciously. Groundsel will oc
casionally find favor, and can be
varied with cliickweed and apple, but
it will generally he found that lettuce
is best liked.
A little hemp may be given, but it is
heating and should be only given when
the bird will come and take it 'rom
the hand.
A spray of millet should always be
in the cage, besides a glass of mixed
rapo and canary, three parts of the
latter to two of the former being the
right proportion.
While on the subject of our feath
ered pets, let me remind my readers
to remember the daily uath, which
should be attached to the cage and not
laid on the floor, for in this way the
