June Roses.

Three little sunbopnets all in a row,
Under the hedxe where the June roses Blow
Under the sunbonnets three little faces,
Where dimples and smiles leave their own sunny
traces;
M little rosebuds all playing together
Under the roses in sweet Juny weather.
Gayly the robin his morning song sings,
Pluming and stretching his feathers and wings;
Ga,ly the bees seek their favorite red clover
While sunbeams spreading the green meadows
over:
And sweetest of all the sweet sounds that hear
Is the musical laugh of my little ones dear.
Six little hands that are twining the roses
With daisies aud buttercups natures sweet poses,
Making wreath, Just as bright as can be,
For a certain mamma. Ills secret. you see;
But wee little butterfly. flying this way.
Told mamma the secret, IL truth she must say.
Oh fragrant June rosesl not sweeter are We
Than the rosebuds the Father has given to me-
God grant they may grow meath the sunshine of
love
Into all that is pure for the garden above;
Their dear hearts be guar led from evils sad power
Till the buds blossom out in the full perfect flower
Three little sunbonnets all in row
Under tire hedge where the June roses blow;
Three little faces, all laughing, | see,
Throwing sweet kisses so gayly to me.
Dearly love them, my blossoms so fair,
My children whose joys and whose sorrows share |

in that same heaven, even more kind and
loving, was waiting for His tire, tort
ured little one.
Even Francois could understand this,
while Henri lay very still, soothed and
comforted. All ut once the little hero
raised himself, and in firm voice ex-
claimed, Francois, you must take care
of my dicky-bird."
They were his last words, and, with
this innocent expression of solicitude
for his one plaything, the spirit of the
little Due de Nemours passed away, be-
yond the bars of the cage, beyond the
firm Bastile. The bird flew from the
hand OF the dead master to that of the
living brother. 1t had been pet of
both, feeding out of their hands on
prison crumbs, and coming at the call
of either.
Henri was right in thinking that lit
tie Francois would be restored to his
family. The death of Louis TX. few
years later accomplished this, though
the poor little lad remained lame and
sickly to the end of his days, owing to
his suffering in captivity.
At the taking of the Bastile, in 1789,
two iron cages were discovered, their
shape identifying them as those con-
structed for these unhappy children.
They were broken to pieces by the pop
ulace with cries of horror. So ends the
pitiful tale of the little Princes in the
Bastile.

THE iron king of Wales is dead.
Robert Crawshay came of family which
had already accumulated great wealth
in the development of immense iron
and coal works, and he leaves fortune
estimated all the way from five to ten
million pounds. His title of the iron
king was well deserved, for when his
works were in full operation he en-
ployed in them 5000 men, and not less
than 10000 people were dependent upon
him for their daily bread. His enjoy
ment of his wealth was sadly curtailed
during his last years by his entire loss
of hearing, which was the greater de-
privation as he was very fond of music.
Nevertheless he continued to cultivate
the art to the last, and developed among
his workmen, and largely for their ben
eft, a brass band that always used to
win the first prizes at the Crystal Pal
ace musical contests. The iron kings
wife, Rose Mary Crawshay, is as notable
person in her way as was her husband
in his, one of the leaders in the agita-
ton for women's rights, and the Baron
ess Burdett- Coutts of the provinces in
her wide and wise benevolence.

AN old book in the Lenox Library,
New York city, printed in 1907, speak
ing of the Western continent, says !;
" But now that those regions have been
more extensively described and another
fourth part has been discovered by
Americas Gas will appear in the sequeD,
/ do not see why it should not be named
America, that is the land of Americas,
after its discoverer, Americas, man of
sagacious mind, since both Europe and
Asia took their names from women"
This is believed to be the first sugges-
ton that the new continent should be
named America, but it appears to have
been favorably received and subsequent
ly adopted.

AN enterprising young man was en-
ployed by San Francisco firm to adj
vertise their condensed chowder. He
hired an upper box in Baldwin's The
alter, and placed across the front big
transparency, inscrib I'd: Try Con-
densed Chowder" The ushers ordered
him to take it down, but he locked the
door of the box and proceeded coolly to
light the candles in the transparency.
The manager ordered up his forces for
an ejectment, but first sent for the
young mans employer, who had the
advertisement removed just before the
commencement of the performance.

AT a late meeting of the Juridical
Society, in st. Petersburg, the chief
topic of discussion was the Punishment
of criminals to Siberia. From official
data it was proven that from $4,000 to
$4,000 poor wretches are annually draft
ed off into the northeastern part of the
empire, and that in many districts,
therefore, the number of convicted ex-
lies far exceeds that of the ordinary
population, and is a great drawback on
the welfare of the latter. The smaller
towns of Siberia in particular are over
flowing with these outcasts from Euro
pean Russia, and the society came to
the conclusion that a great number of
prisons ought to be built as soon as
possible.

half a spoonful Of the mixture (the
batter y, and allow il to boil three
minutes. Some of you may think that
is extravagant. but use the lard over
and over again for different things un-
til it is exhausted, taking care, how
ever, never to use lard again for any
thing else after it has been used for
fish. If the lard is hot enough, there
will be little or no grease 20 speak of
adhering to the mixture when take it
out; but, to prevent the fritters retain
ing any grease on their surface, strain
them on piece of paper lying upon the
plate, and thus they are free from any
thing of that sort"
And the verdict of the audience, as
the perfected fritters were passed
around, was that they had never seen
or tasted anything of the kind that
would begin to compare with them for
delicacy and general toothsomeness.
Miss Dods next proceeded to show
her audience how to make sweet ONE
let, and again were they delighted at
the success of her cooking. She took
the yelks of two eggs, the whites of
three, teaspoonful of sugar, some es-
sence of vanilla, and half an ounce of
butter. The yelks, the sugar and the
vanilla were mixed in q small bowl. To
the whites of the eggs was added a
small pinch of salt, and this was
whipped till stiff. In the omelet-pan
was melted the half ounce of butter.
The yelks and the whites were lightly
mixed, and the whole poured quickly
into the omelet pan, which was put on
the fire and kept there minute, being
then removed to the oven to dry, where
it remained five minutes. On taxing it
out, Miss Dods sprinkled the light and
appetizing product with sugar, and
everybody declared that they had never
seen such q perfect example of omelet-
cooking in their lives.
She then proceeded to make the
sauce for her pudding, which was now
done. In making the sauce she used
the juice of half lemon, one ounce of
sugar, one egg, and tablespoonful of
milk, which she put in saucepan,
mixed, and thickened over the fire.
The pudding was then dexterously re-
moved from the mold, put on a large
platter, and the sauce poured aroundit.
Miss Dods said she preferred this par
ticular kind of sauce because its color
SO closely matched that of the pudding
itself.
The latest product of the lady's art
was passed around the audience and
everybody was profuse in her praise.
The soup also was done about this time,
and as it, too, went the rounds, its
savory odors greeted the nostrils of the
fair and was responsible for many an
increase of appetite.

AND now, to cap the misery of John
Bull, comes the rumor that an Italian
firm is negotiating for an immediate
supply of 1OO,00O,0O0 tons of coal from
America. The rumor caused conster-
nation in London. The first cargo OF
American coal that reached the Medit-
erranean, sixteen months ago, met with
a ready sale, and more than twenty car
goes have been sent over since tina!
time. The London Globe, in comment
ing on this, apprehends that before long
the coal industry of Great Britain will
encounter American rivalry. Why
not? We send cotton goods to Man
chester, and we shall yet send Goals to
Newcastle.

The Nihilist propaganda in Russia is
reduced to all sorts of expedients to de-
feat the vigilance of the police. There
was time when prohibited journals
and tabooed manuscripts could get
across the frontier in cotton bales or in
plaster busts of the Gar. But now
bales of cotton are opened and plaster
busts are smashed by the customs Of
ficers. The revolutionaries have, there
fore, been fain to seek for something
better, and, being men of inventive
minds, have found it in sardines. Sar-
dine boxes may be weighed and charged
for, but they cannot be opened, and
this delightful little fish has become an
instrument of sedition so formidable
that it is seriously question of pro-
hibitory ukase upon them.

AMONG the old officers of the arm

AMONG the old officers of the army
soon to be retired, whose terms of serv-
ice range from thirty-nine to forty
eight years, are Maj. Gen. E. d. Towns
end, Adjutant General; Maj. Gen. Ran
dolph B. Marcy, Inspector General
Maj. Gen. M. G. Meigs, Quartermaster
General; Maj. Gen. Joseph X. Barnes,
Surgeon General; and Brig. Gen. Ben
jamin Alvord, Psymaster General. They
will be succeeded by younger and more
active men, having well earned the
right to retire with ease and comfort
for their few remaining years.

A REPORT read before the Presby-
terrain General Assembly of Canada
stated that about one-third of the en-
tire population of Canada are French
speaking Roman Catholics. Although
the greater number of these are found
in the Province of Quebec, where there
are upward of. l, 100000 to total popu-
lation of 100000, yet they are by no
means confined to the province. In
Nova Scotia there are $4,000; in New
Brunswick, 10000, and in Ontario,
$4,000 French-speaking people. To
these are to be added large numbers in
the provinces of Manitoba, Newfound-
land and Prince Edwards island. The
Presbyterians claim, however, that,
through their missionary efforts, thou
sands of these people have been con-
verified to Professionalism, not only in
Canada, but in the United States. The
figures are not given.

during 1S7S-'79, 24,2l7 German emf
grants. From these points the number
coming to the United States was 2O,373,
the remainder going to Australia ana
Brazil in about equal numbers. 1t is a
curious feature of the German emigra-
ton, as compared with that OF other
countries-and yet readily understood
when looked into carefully-that the
percentage of males predominates great
ly. This is owing to the influence OF
the military system of the Fatherland,
those subject to its provisions taking
advantage of the opportunity to avoid
it. During the past eight years nearly
50, 900 more men than women have left
Germany.

The Anglo-American Cattle Com
pany has advertised for capital in En-
gland. 1t wants $350,000 to carry on
the business of feeding and fattening
cattle on the Western plains. The
Niobrara river district in Wyoming and
Nebraska is named in the prospectus as
the locality chosen for the operations
of the company, and is described as al
together suitable place for the pur'
pose. DIR. Hayden, on the other hand
says in his report to the United States
Government that the Niobrara river is
largely uninhabitable, and has always
gone by the name of "Bad Lands and
that the plains are desolate, treeless ant
waterless, or the streams impure. There
seems to be a discrepancy between thu
statements of the prospectus and thu
facts
