Sbyness ExempIified.

A young lady in a neighboring
town one day last week, went into
a dry goods store and thus unbur-
dened herself:
at is my desire to obtain a pair
of circular elastic appendages, cap

ded by means of oscillated burn

The vender of calicoes was nom
plussed, but not wishing to appear
ignorant, said that he was just out.
After her departure, he rumin-

when a new light broke upon his

with
Shy thuRder!" I'll bet that wo-
man wanted q pair of carriers.

ephants.

On the railroad from Madras 10
Shoranore, as a train was Huhnlng
at fair speed, the engineer Soy a
herd of elephants approaching
him along the line. He whistled
down brakes. Ia an instant, how
ever, they were into the herd.
The leading elephant,an enormous
tusker, was apparently only en-
ragged by the whistle, and charged
the advancing train. There was
a tremendous conclusion. The ele-
plant was knocked off TO one side,
mutilated and writhing, and the
train, after series of jolts that
nearly threw it off into the line,
came to a stand-still against the
hodies of two other animals Of the
herd. The tusker was dispatched
by an English gentleman who was
travelling in the train, and his
tusks were secured, after which
the train proceeded on its journey.
The herd scampered away. and
turned when about mile off,on a
knoll, looking in dazed, stupid
way at the train as it moved off,

Went to His Home.

At the close of his days labor
he went ~ mis- home. So the
morning papers stated, in their
account, recently, of what is called
domestic tragedy.
Went to his home! What did
he find there ? His children. They
certainly helped to make it a
home. And who else was there ?
A woman-his second wife. She
was inebriated and quarrelsome.
He tried to avoid a difficulty, but
in vain. A quarrel insued; then a
fight, during which She threw him
out of window, and, falling upon
the sidewalk, was killed.
He was a laboring man, and this
was in slow society," But in cir
Giles of wealth and standing there
is many a house which is but
little more of home to its pos
SCISSOR than the house of this hum
BILE laborer was to him. There
may be no intemperance; no dis
sipation: no outward strife, even.
But there is no unity of feeling,
no harmony oflife. Husband and
wife, the parties are, under the
law;but there is no union ofhearts
The sumptuousness of the apart
ments serves only as a contrast to
the desolation of spirit, the arid
waste of life which both exper-
ence. Such is always liable to be
the result of marriages of convent
! ence; marriages for wealth or DIES
tin alton; marriages for anything
but love. -,
We advoco late the indissolubility
of the marriage tie, but for the
very reason that il is for life i
should never rest on any other
foundation than matual and de-
voted love.

Dexter is small in the coach

Frequent among the exclama-
tions evoked by the bewilderment
of the Centennial is, 81 wonder
how much money all this is
worth ?" Its intrinsic value is GER
tainly greater than most people
imagine, and cannot be accurately
known until a thorough census is
made by special officers appointed
by the Centennial authorities, a
thing not likely to be dOnO, owing
to the immense cost of such an I'M
dertaking.
The chiefs of the various depart
ments of the exhibition contem-
plate giving each exhibitor blank
report which is to be filed up to
show the value of his ex-
hibit and the number of articles
which he displays. These blanks
are to be returned to the chiefs,
who will complete the statistics.
1t is very doubtful, however,
whether the report made from
these figures will be wholly true,
because many exhibitors showing
goods worth $4,000 have an am
bition to make people believe they
are worth $4,000.
There is little difficulty in learn
Ing the value of every structure on
the grounds, from the Main build
ing down to the smallest popcorn
stand, and in ascertaining that OF
the contents of all of them except
the main building, machinery
hall, memorial hall the art annex,
horticultural hall the government
building, agricultural hall, the
Women's pavilion, and possibly
two or three others. But estimates
of these may be made with suf-
ficient approximation to give q
fair idea of the total commercial
value of the greatest international
exhibition the world has yet seen.
For instance, in the case of ma
chinery hall, when it is considered
that rough calculations of the
value of miscellaneous machinery
are made by fixing its average
price, by the pound, at rs cents, il
Is necessary only to know that
there are upward of 100000 OC
pounds ofmachinery in that build
ing, to estimate its worth at $10,.
100000, which might be taken as
including exhibits there that are
not machinery.
In regard to the main building
1t is said there are $50, 200, 0O(
worth of insurance on its contents
AS these are not insured for their
full value, there being great pro-
portion of articles in the building
that are imperishable and need nc
insurance, the estimate of the to-
tai value of the contents OF the
man building is $65,00O,O00. A

LILIES.
IN MEMoRIAM.

The west has LOST its golden glow,
The tall white lilacs stands arrow
Behind the beds of musk /;
The woodbiue climbs the ga.den rail,
And in the copse the nightingale
Is singing through the dusk.
We stand beside the cedar tree,
We mark, as far as eye can see,
Our gardens utmost bound;
The level lawn, the beds of bloom,
The elms beyond the edge Of broom,
And all is halowed ground.
We pace the bordered garden walk,
Where best she loved to play and talk
About the bees and flowers
Among the lilies she would fit,
Or. lilly-lika, beside them sit,
The long sunshiny hours.
Full oft we wove them for crown
To deck the rinfll Its chestnut frown,
Tat Oh her shoulder strayed;
All heaven! how fond how blind we were
We thought her more than earthly fair,
And yet we were not afraid.
We might have known a soul so white
Was Gods, was heavens by holy right,
And never could be ours
Wemigbt have Known we couldnot keep
A child whose tho'ts were grave and deep
And pure as lilly flowers.
Too good, too pure, too fair for US,
But when keen anguish pierces thus
The bleeding heart will faint;
And we must madly wish awhile
That she should barter for our smile
The palm branch of the saint.
We cannot say we feel it best,
That she was taken from our breast
Wereh such hot pulses stir;
And thinking of the new turned sod
We cannot, all at once, thank God
That he has gathered her.
We can but look with bitter tears
Backward and forward Ger the years
Gods will our life has crossed.
We can but let that will be done,
We can but pray that she has won
Far more than we have lost.
God may be good to US, aud give
Such comfort as will let us live
In peace from day to day;
But JOY will only dawn that hour
Wherein we see our lilly flower
In regions far away.

Clean MILK.

Clean, pure milkis one Of earth's
choicest luXuries-One which the
peasant mayshare with the crown.
The COW, ofall animals made for
the sevice of civilized man, is
least liable to disease and sick
ness, and the product other udder
is best adapted to his wants and
needs. Milk, as it comes from the
udder Of the COW, is comparative
" pure if the animal is kept on
wholesome, clean food; but a
large per centage of filth and i'm
purities gets in the milk through
the carelessness Of the mixer,
and because the COWS are kept in
places of filth and untidess. "A
Jew holds the flesh Of swine in
abomination, but he will sup dir
ty milk with a relish.
If milk was translucent it would
reveal the carelessness drinkers
and the influence Of housekeep-
ers in regard to keeping it clean
and pure as it comes from the
COW. 1t usually contains an
amount of filth and dirt for which
there is not the least reason oreX-
cuse, but being Opaque the dirt
is invisible until the bottom
of the pail or pan is reached.
No people in the world are
SO neat in all their dairying
operations as the peasant farm
ers of Holland. The stables
are kept scrupulously neat and
clean, and the udders Of the COWS
are washed before the milk is
drawn. In this country our cows
are yarded at night, usually in
the barn-yard with no regard to
cleanliness. The milking is done
by hired men and boys who carry
with them neither brush nor cloth
with which to remove dirt or filth.
Of course some, more or less,
goes into the milk pail and lavors
the milk to a certain degree and
renders it impure and unclean,
Fine, sweet butter never is made
from such milk. 1t would seem
that a reform in the manner Of
keeping cows at night might be
brought about without much ado.
Then let house-keepers require
that the men and boys provide
themselves with some means Of
removing all dust and dirt before
bringing their pals near the cows
