MSS POLLY ROSE.

wish you knew Miss Polly Rose, who lives
across the street,
She Is the most unlucky girl ever chanced 10
meet;
To see it. you would think it must have stood
some fearful bl9cS;
And then she got fractured limb when visit
By falling from hewagon when the horses ran
away.
She has most asthmatic wheeze whence r she
tries to cry.
And when she wants to cough or sneeze, out
falls her only eyei
One day. when she went out to walk, her nurse
quite angry grew,
And punched the other optic out, and left this
one askew.
So. with her badiy-battered nose ana sadly
squirting eye,
since passed her by
Her hair is getting very thin; she cannot wear
There's not enough 60 braid or curl, aud SO,
when she's az home,
She twists it up as best she can and ties II with
They talk Of getting her wig if wigs are
cheap next spring.
She's kept her bonnet on of late whenever she
But doesn't mind it if we laugh about her get
ting bald.
For all she has a broken nose, for all her hair
is thin.
For all one eye is gone, and she can't keep the
other in,
L think they love her just as well as in the days
of yore;
Because of her unluckiness, perhaps they love
her more.
1 know she is a favorite, no matter where she
goes
This most unluclxy dol of dolls whose name is

Inherited Criminal Instincts.

"He is a thief and will always con-
Time to be a thief, as his father and
grandfather were before him." is what
was told Blanchard Jerrold when, with
Gustav Dore, he was making the tour
of London, as the accompanying Police
Superintendent flashed his bull s-eye
upon the face of well-dressed and par
titcularly agile young man, who was do
inc his best to escape this unpleasant
publicity. Here the descending line
was clearly shown and whilst such direct
descent for three generations may not
be often met with, it is a fact that the
thief and vagabond poison is found by
close observers to faint the blood as
widely and far more surely than does
that of insanity. New York has in a
measure become the rendezvous, the
entrepot of European scum. London
receives comparatively few additions
from elsewhere; its dangerous classes
are of home production. Efficient as
the metropolitan police are those who
will not work and who, whether by IN
clination, force of example or family
tradition. will not live honestly, are the
pest of London society. The Migrants,
the tramps, the beggars, the cheats,
the finished rogues are formidable
race amongst a population of more than
100000. They have been combated
with, repressed and investigated. but it
is an acknowledged fact that the dam
gerous classes of London are the des-
pair of social reformers. In 1851 a
Minister of Education for the first time
took his seat in the House of Commons.
Stringent measures for the education OF
the lower orders were adopted, and II
figure are to be relied upon sehool-work
in London has done much good. lgno-
rance and crime were found to have
gone hand in hand and in number OF
instances the dissolution of this partner
ship meant a cessation OF evil practices.

Interesting Relies Ofthe Mound Builders.

Yesterday l examined collection of
relics-not exquisitely beautiful, but
exquisitelv old-from various points
along the valleys of the San
Pedro, the ella and the Rio Grande.
They were mainly broken potteries, a
few sacred NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. from old
estutdS, rude arms of 18th, and the ia
miiiar flint arrows, such as have been
discovered in every portion of the globe
where there are graves of men. Among
many trinkets offered, chose little
looking-glass of iztli and an amulet of
chaIchaGits from the ruins of a prehistoric
city near FL Paso. 1t was close to the
Texas line and within the limit of the
mound-builders' region. l selected
these trifles because they were feminine
belongings, and brought me nearer than
the pipes and hatchets could bring me
to my dead and gone sisters. The
mirror, about half the size ofyour hand
is made of iztli, or obsidian, an exceed
ingly hard, vitreous substance, plentiful
in volcanic countries, of smoky tint and
capable of high polish. The art of
working this intractable material is
practically lost in our times, but when
wrought by the Indigene was useful as
iron or tempered steel.
The amulet and twenty heads of chal-
cbuits were hidden in a black glazed
jar, of the shape made by natives to-
day, buried in cave many feet below
the surface of theground. 1t was acct
.dentally opened in 1873 by party of
miners digging for silver. Probably a
treasure-house abandoned at the last
moment, when the besieged inhabitants
fed before a victorious army. Stone
hammers were found near the cave, ar
row-heads, hatchets, serrated swords
of iztii, like the Aztecan and half a hui
man skull, evidently broken by blow
of the Ratchet or tomahawk.
The amulet is perhaps half an inch
long, one-eighth of an inch thick-an
irregular square. rudely carved and
smoothed. probably by rubbing with
another stone The veining on one
side gives the semblance of star. A
hard tool and patient hand must have
been REQUIRED to drill hole through

rudy warm compilations of the village
beauties of the old country Clear COM
plexions are-nOt the strong point-of
Australian bellies.
Far more freedom is accorded to
Australian girls than mothers in En-
gland would ordinarily think consistent
with propriety. The Australian beauty
is quite able to hold her own in railway,
omnibus OF steamboat. 1t is not con-
sidered at all uncommon or remarkable
to see her 90 shopping, travelling or
visiting without male escort or female
chaperon. Whether the girls are inn
proved by this, or the reverse. may be
mooted point; opinions vary. Aus
tralians are certainly quick, intelligent
and self-reliant. Their detractors, who
may not have had the same degree of
liberty accorded them in their own
youth, will occasionally hint that they
are Just little too strong minded, i'm
pulsively forward, and free spoken. Let
us assume that this is pure jealousy.--

Australian Women.

Our hostess is q specimen of the. rare
Ivomanly beauty which ripens into such
perfection beneath the ardent Australian
sun. Indeed, the traveller cannot fail
to be struck with the general appear
ance eff the Australian women. / think
they possess greater charms of face and
figure and more delicate, refined style
OF beauty. rs a rule. than their Northern
sisters. The Australian-bOrn woman is
generally tall. well-proportioned, agile,
1.-the of limb, and has all her features
cut i'm a classic mold or rather a Grecian
or aristOcratic type. In plain words,
think Australian women are more gen.
orally graceful in figure than English
women. The climate has doubtless
much to do with this. but beauty is not
. s1v any means confined to the Weather
classes. The free out-of-dOor life, the
abundant fare. the freedom from many
foolish kinds of conventionaEty which
handicap The English girl, all go in favor
of the Australian. One is surprised to
ind so many really beautiful faces and
faultless figures in all ranks; and the OBJ
servant student of = the human form
divine must come to the conclusion
that SO far as outward beauty Is con-
cerned. the race has not deteriorated
bv its transportation to the antipodes.
The Australian, however, must strike
her flag to the fresh rosy cheeks and

Six Girls Ride Sixty Years Ago.

In 1916, sixty-four years ago, six lit.
tie women of Waterford, Vt, rode on
the same horse and at the same time,
some miles over the Waterford hills.
Their names and ages were as follows:
Lois Rowell, twelve; Nellie Caswell
and Rhoda Pike, eleven; Polly Caswell.
and Lois Pike, eight; and Anna Caswell
four. Lois RoweH sat on the saddle
and held the reins and small Anna Cas-
well and the other four misses rode be-
hind her. They had a nice time which
they all remember, for they are all still
living. Lois Rowell, now Mrs. Chas.
S. Gregory, lives with her son-in-law,
Caswell, on a beautiful farm on the west
bank of the Connecticut in Concord,
VT. She has been totally blind some
five years, but is intelligent, cheerful
and social. Nellie Caswel is now Mrs.
Giles Jones, of Victory. Vt. Rhoda
Pike is Mrs. Nelson Millen, Polly Cas-
well, now Mrs. Horace Buck and Lois
Pike, Mrs. jefferson Hosmer, live in
Littleton, n. H., and Anna Caswell,
Mrs. Wilson Buck, in Charleston, Vt.
They are all now widows except Mrs.
Millen, and Mr. Millen is her second
husband. Who knows of six other
women who together enjoyed lark
sixty-four years ago that has been a
pleasant memory to them from that
time to this ?-BOStO13 Journal.

Dem s. Tornadies.r


81 wants to fin some white man dat
knows sumthin' bout tornadies," said
an old colored man, as he sat down in
Griswold Street tobacco store the
other day.
..Well, what do you want to know
about them?" asked a smoker.
WAL, sab, lie hearn dat dey am
caused by wind. Am dat faek?'
ssYes, tornadoes contain more or less
wind, believe"
''Some folks say dat dey start in de
woods, an odder folks say dat dey be-
gin in de cl'arin's. Kin you tell mo
which am de case?''
Il think they begin anywhere where
it happens.
$50 do |, sab. Dey is iist as likely to
begin in my back yardas anywhar' else.
Dat settles dat point, an now want
to AK you bout de signs. How kin we
tell when tornady am comm ?"
81 don't think you can tell"
"No, sab, nor doan' either. Some
folks say dat pusson has roarin' in
de he'd bout and hour fore de tornady
gifts along, but l doan beliebe it. If L
see one comm what am it best to do?"
"Well, hardly know"
"Nor + doan' either, sab. Some
folks say you should take de train an
git outer town, but l dunno bout dat.
Odder folks say you should tie yerself
to lamp-post wild a clothes-line, but
dar aim post widin' half a mile O.
my house."
az think l should go down cellar"
$50 should /, sab, but l hasn't got
any cellar. De man who owns de house
doan' seem to car two cents if de hull
of us git blode sky-high."
"Then you might dig hole in the
yard large enough to hold the family"
Say, OATS he ideah, suah' 5 yer BON!
lie talked wild ober fifty pussons on de
subject o. tornadies an not one o. dem
ever struck dat ideah. How large a
hole will it take fur family O 'leven
pussons?'
80, pretty large one"
$50 it will, sab, but lie terror on
diggin' up de sile; I'll have it all ready
in less'n week, an whild de rest O. de
folks in this town am bein' blode sky
high by tornady my family will be
holed up as safe as taters. One mo-
queshun, sab. what sort o shovel would
YOU advise me to git to dig de hOle?'
81 should say any sort would do"
$50 should l, sab, you seem to hit il
cherry time. Now, just one mo- queshun.
Do you fink, from what you have seen
of me, an from de advice You has been
