The Home of MY Heart.

In the playhouse or mart,
Not here In the ways gray and brown,
But afar on the green swelling down,
Is the home OF my heart.
There the hillsfae slopes down to deli
| Whence a streamlet has start:
There are woods and sweet grass on the swell
And the south winds and west know IL well
| lis the home of my heart
There's cottage o'ershadowed by leaves
Growing fairer than art,
Where under the low sloping caves
No false hand the swallow bereaves;
lis the home OF my heart
And there as you gaze down the lea,
| Where the trees stand apart,
| Over grassland and woodland may be
| You will catcn the faint CLEAN of the ses,
From the home of my heart.
And there in the rapturous spring.
| When the morning rays dart
Ger the plain, and the morning birds sing,
| You may see the most beautiful thing
In the home of my heart;
For there at the easement above.
| Where the roSebushes part.
| Win blush the fair face of my love:
| All, yes! IL is this that will prove
| Il Is the home of my heart.

People generally will be glad to know that
charcoal has been discovered to be a sure
cure for burns. By laying a small piece of
cold charcoal on the burn the pain subsidies
/ Immediately. By leaving the CHI rcoal on
for an hour the wound is healed, as has been
demonstrated on several occasions.
The latest at weddings is to have the main
aisle thickly strewn with flowers At the
marriage of Mr. Milliken to Miss Outhout,
in New York last week, the bride walked
| over a mat, stretched from the door to the
altar-railing fashioned of evergreens and
filled in by lilies, roses and violets
A curious experiment with the magnet
was recently tried in London. boy had
broken needle in the calf of his leg, and
| before resorting to surgical Instruments it
was decided to try the effect of powerful
magnet in withdrawing the steel. After a
number of experiments III different poso-
| tlons the needle was drawn near the surface
on the opposite side of the leg from which it
entered and was easily withdrawn.
Mr.. Richard Grant White says in the Gal
axy that England is the paradise of men.
An Englishman who is the head of family
is not only master of his house, but of
the whole household. His will is recog-
nized as the law of that household 1t is
not deemed unreasonable that, in the house
which he provides and keeps up, his comfort
| and his convenience should be first consid-
cred, or that, as he is responsible for his
household both to the law and to society,"
authority should go with responsibility
The consciousness of this acknowledged or
rather unquestioned superiority shows itself
in the mems faces, and in their bearing,
| simple and unpretending as their manner is
Speaking of the crisis in the silk business
in France, a correspondent writes: lone of
the chief causes of the crisis appears to be in
the change of fashion. Ladies prefer now
closely fitting dresses, requiring material
which, technically speaking, gives Such
material silk is not, while wooden stuff is
peculiarly suitable, being at the same time
much less costly. This change in the taste
of ladies has been further attributed to the
greater cost of silks consequent on gigantic
silk-buying speculation of two years or so
ago, which resulted in an arbitrary price
with small supply, to which the manufac-
turers yielded because they could not help
themselves. Much, then, depends on
whether this change of fashion is of a per-
manent character. There does not seem to
be much evidence warranting a conclusion
on this point"
All over the entire world, wherever relig-
ion has foothold, will celebrate the Dist of
the coming May as day of general rejoicing.
1t will be the 50th anniversary of the episco-
pate of Plus TX; and the 18th of June fol-
lowing, which will likewise be observed as a
| great day by the Roman church, will be the
| 31st year of his pontifcate. The latter event
is one as yet unheard of in the annals of
Catholicism. Plus the Ninth ''has seen the
days of Peter" as bishop of Rome, IN spite of
the old saying and, in the present pontifss
case, mistaken prophecy, mon vide6is amos
| Petri." Plus the Ninth has not only been a
bishop longer than st. Peter, but has sur
passed his years of episcopate. The fact
| strikes the Catholic world with wonder.
The bishops of the Catholic church in Amer
| lea have issued circulars calling, upon their
| followers to celebrate in an especial manner
| the two events which are of such moment
and importance in the history of tie church.
One of the late General Changarnier's pc
| culiarities was a horror of tobacco. He has
been seen at home, where he was otherwise
| the kindliest of hosts, pursuing unfortunate
| smokers even into remote corners harassing
them, reducing them, partly by pleasant
| banter and partly by serious expostulation,
| to sullen submission, and bringing them up
| in triumph to the drawing room. In fact,
| in this particular respect he seems to have
| treated his guests as a stern but fatherly old
| colonel might treat a parcel of subalterns
| An odd story is told of him in the time
when he himself was subaltern. He and
two comrades had been dining together, and
they had dined so well that one of the COM
rades overcome with wine and the heat of
discussion which ensued, lost his head and
struck Changarnier, who turned deadly pale
and felt that he must fight somebody. But
he was far too generous to fight his intoxica-
ted friend. He left the room without say
| ing a word, went into a neighboring coffee
house where the students of the place were
wont to assemble, and administered couple
of cuffs to the first unoffending student he
ca me across, and. when swords were drawn,
| followed this outrage up with severe
| wound in the shoulder He then returned
to his friend, who had no recollection of
anything that had occurred, and said to him,
What bore you arel You've obliged me
to run a poor devil through the shoulder
who never did anything to me. It's perfect
| ly ridiculous" And so the two embraced,
