Sunday a Holiday,

In Germany, Sunday is a l.oognized
holiday. Work is forbidden, but all
are free to enjoy themselves after their
own fashion. The shops are open be-
tween church services. The postal
service is limited to shorter hours let
tors and parcels are not delivered as
often as on other days, and there are
similar restrictions on the telegraph
service. On the other hand, the rail
way traffic is left quite free, and not
only do trains run as on other days, but
by almost every line there are also extra
trains for the convenience of the holi-
day-makers. Indeed, in many places,
especially in Austria, companies choose
Sundays and holidays Tor uneir great
excursions; extra trains are put on, es-
pecially in the morning, and arrange
ments for dancing for the people, popu-
lar concerts, ETC., are fixed almost ex-
clusively for these days. This is es-
pecially the case in places where the
population is chiefly Catholic. The
inns and taverns do most of their bust
ness on Sunday, because the people are
at leisure.

THE MAIDEN's PRAYER.

She rose from her delicious sleep,
AND put away her soft brown hair.
AND IN a tone as low and deep
AS loves first whisper breathed a PRAYER
her snow-white hands together pressed,
:, Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
Inc folded linen on her breast
just swelling with the heart it hid
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and snowy, foot.
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like new snow flake white and mute;
And there from slumber, soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and matchless form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
0 God! ifisouls unsettled as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne
II she upon her Bonded knees,
Our loveliest and our purest one
She with face SO clear and bright, p.
We deem b er some stray child of light,
Il she, with these soft eyes in tears, VI
Day after day in her young years,
Must kneel and pl ay for grace from Thee,
What far, far deeper need have we?
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgivens

AnecdOte Of n Soldier.

Your true soldier never forgets that
wise commander always keeps force in
reserve to fall back upon for support.
This was well illustrated in Baltimore
during the war, when private soldier,
evidently little the worse for liquor,
stepped up to group of gentlemen in
front of the Eutaw House, and announced
that he placed his trust in Ulysses
Grant" No attention was paid to him
at first, but he persisted in his assertion,
and in loud voice repeated, Gentle
men, I place my trust in Ulysses Grant"
At this one of the party, clergyman
and good friend of the soldiers, felt
bound to reason with him, and said:
cts all very well to have faith in your
General, my boy, but your trust should
be in higher power. Now I have the
utmost confidence in Gen. Grant, but I
place my trust in Cod"
"Thats where you're erring, old man."
SAID the soldier, "and I'll tell you why.
I put my trust in Ulysses Grant. If he
fails me fall back on God. Suppose
God fails you, where's you're reserve?"
The good clergyman did not stop to
discuss the question further, but the
answer was noted as curious illustra-
ton of how far the teachings OF the camp
will carry an ignorant man in affairs
spiritual.

How AN Owls HEAD REvoLvEs.-A


How AN Owls HEAD REvoLvEs.-A
contributor to the american Nat
a1rGl5st, who had read a funny story
about an owl wringing his own neck by
looking at man who was walking
around him, tested the matter by ex-
pertinent. He obtained fine speoi-
men and placed him on top of a post.
It was not difficult" says the writer,
ito secure his attention, for he never
diverted his gaze from me while I was
in his presence. Ibegan walking rap
idly around the post, few feet from it,
keeping my eyes fixed on him all the
while. His body remained motionless,
but his head turned exactly with my
movements. When I was half way
round his head was exactly behind.
Three quarters of circle were COM
pleted, and still the same twist of the
neck and the same stare followed me.
One circle and no change. On I
went, twice round, and still that watch
full stare and steady turn of the head.
On went, three times round, and be-
gan really to wonder why the head did
not drop off, when all at once I discov-
cred what 7 had failed to notice before.
When I had reached half way round
from the front, which was as far
as he could turn his head to follow my
movements with comfort, he whisked it
back through the whole circle so in
simultaneously and brought it facing
me again with such precision that I
failed to detect the movement, although
I was looking intently all the time. I
repeated the experiment many times
afterward on the same bird, and I had
always to watch carefully to detect the
movement or the readjustment of his
gaze"

SILVER DIMES.
81 MRS. MAMIE STEELE xoo1D.

Poets may sing of pleasures rare,
And pen their lays in blissful rhymes,
But give to mo that good old fare,
A pocketful of silver dimes.
love to read their works complete,
And hear them sing of sunny chimes,
But give to me that music sweet
Of hnkling, ringing silver dimes.
love to hear good old song
There is sweet magic in it's lines,
But give me magic t1at belongs -.
To bright, glistening silver dimes.
I'm fond of flowers, rich and rare
For all things pure my spirit pines
But yet my heart, I do declare, -
Is set on pure old silver dimes.
Numerous friends will crowd your way
That would not read your simple rhymes;
but Jet them go or let them stay,
Hold fast unto your silver dimes.
While others climb the sleeps of fame,
And from its lofty summit shines,
Just plod along all the same, -
And gather in the silver dimes.
lllove their Ginning, tinkling sound,
Friends tried and true, in these hard times
Tho heart is light when the purse abounds
With good old friendly silver dimes.
Then here's a toast for all to-day, -..
Home or abroad in distant climes, -..
Let the wide world wag as it may,
Give me pocketful Of Dimes"

breathing animal shot in among the
assailants and fastened itself on the
chief.
z The wolves for an instant relaxed
their fury; Henreich reeled giddy to
his feet, and recognized his brave dog.
For moment he stood bewildered,
when he saw the wolf retreating, and
the other two attacking his dauntless
dog. He turned to help him, and q
bright object caught his eye; it was his
Ratchet lying on the snow within an
arms length Of TIE last terrible strug-
gle. Henreich snatched It up, and was
himself again.
His arms were bleeding, but their
giant strength remained. The next in
slant he had split the skull of one of the
wolves, and now he turned, like the
mailman that he was, upon the fierce
animal that had borne his faithful dog
to the ground.
The first blow laid bare the gaunt
backbone, the next gave his throat q
terrible cash, and the third loosened his
fearful grip upon the dog. Still he
struggled iercely, when Henreich sprang

and slashed until the wolf was mince-
meat.
As he arose, hand was on his
shoulder, and, turning, hand vas on
his bosom.
Henreich!"
"Mary!"
Long did the young people stand in
speechless embrace; but the weaker
supported the strong; for Henreich's
manly nerves were gone, and he leaned
upon Mary, like helpless child.
The arrival of the frightened horse
aroused the wife, and the moment she
opened the door the dog rushed forth,
led by his kindly instinct. Mary fed
wildly after him, not pausing to bring
the rife. But this, it has been shown,
was not needed.

Not to Be Tl,ifled With.

The stage from Santa Fe, rolling
gently along through the clouds of dust
which belong to that region, pulled up
suddenly to allow traveller in, long
mustard-colored buster to ascend. He
was, of course, an English tourist, and
observed to his neighbor: Rum place
| stopped at for refreshment just now.
Woman they call Ax-hand1e Fan. She's
got a big ax-handle, and, if the unwary
traveller objects to the hash, she Laws
him out with it. I didn't grumble
much myself, for I noticed that her
husbands head looked like prize
pumpkin.

"a Segend-H Hand Pulpit. ;,

Mr.. Barnum, the Snowman, once said
that it was work of genius to write an

About the same time an Italian.
named Bonafanti, started in New York
city the original variety store. He, too,
thought that Pegasus might be har-
messed to an advertising van.
Two "sweetsingers," Med CLARK,
the mad poet, and Woodwork, the au-
thor of "The Old Oaken Bucket" wooed
the public in verse to buy fans, opera
glasses, gloves, card-cases, pocketbooks,
and anything in the fancy goods line, at
Bonafanti's. Verse and variety made
him favorite with the city's fashiona-
BILE. =
So remarkable was his variety of stock
that an enthusiastic New Yorker once
boosted to Southerner:
"You can't name an article that Joe
Bonafanti don't keep"
"I,ll bet you $40 that I can" said the
Southerner, to whom wager was the
usual though foolish way of settling q
difference of opinion @..,>.
'Done!" said the New Yorker. ssLet,s

MIR. Bonafanti greeted both gentle

said: '.>,&

answered Sam.
"Here, Bob, take this ten," said the
Southerner. I've lost. Now, Mr..

Bonafanti was delighted, when the
Joke was explained, at the compliment
thus paid to his variety store" ~

10 Sweep and Dust a Room Properly.

10 sweep and Dust Room Properly.
This Us an art, and like all fine arts
has right method. Well done, it reno
Yates the entire room, and the occupant
takes possession feeling that all things
have become new. It is not merely q
performance to be done by the hands,
but a work into which taste and judg-
ment, in other words brains, must enter.
Are there closets opening into the room
to be swept? Arrange the shelves,
drawers, or clothing preparatory to
sweeping day, then let this be the first
to be swept. Cover the bed with soiled
sheets, as also all heavy articles that
cannot be removed, first, however, hay
ing carefully busted and brushed them.
Remove all the furniture that can easily
be set in the hall or adjoining room,
having first busted it; then, taking q
step-ladder, begin to sweep or brush, or
wipe the cornices and picture cords and
pictures. Draw the shades to the top
OF thh window, or, if there are inside
bindf, dust them carefully. Open the
windows. All the dust left in the room
now is in the carpet or air, and the cur
rent of the windows will soon settle it.
Now begin to sweep, not toward door
or corner, but from the outer edges OF
the room toward the center, where the
dust will be taken up with a small brush
and dust-pan. Go over the room once
more, this time with dampened broom:
that removes the last bit of dust, and
gives the carpet new, bright appear
ance. Replace the articles of furniture
as soon as the air is entirely free from
dust, and the room is new and clean.
All this seems an easy thing to do, but
there is not one in hundred who will
follow out the detail. Some will sweep
the dust into the hall or from one room
to another, and then wonder why their
house is 80 soon dusty again. Others
forget cornices and pictures, and thus
leave seed of future annoyance; while
a third class will do all but use the
dampened broom, which is as finishing
touches to a Dictnre- .. ...t-s

Disadvantages Of Being a Gentleman.

glish commercial inn, such as is re-
served for commercial travellers, or

such inns are patented to this nomadio

parlor empty, and sat down in it and
ordered glass. In few minutes q
man entered, tipped his head, and said
