If then notice might be served dsy at 12 o'clock midnight and returned the next day came in. If both these days counted there would be notice in fact while two days would be claimed.

Home Talk.
sale

A good many men and women covet,
and perhaps have the reputation Of be-
ing charming conversationalists," vino
never appear in that role in their own
homes. There their talk is confined to
humdrum topics, to mere gossip, or to
enforcing quiet while they cultivate their
precious intellects, or settle their nerves
to fit them for amiability in public. Yet
aside from the pleasure which cheerful
and worthy conversation difusos over a
home circle, its educative force can hard
ly be over-estinated. The bright and
interesting girls, who surprise and de-
light you with their ready fund of in.
formation quite outside at the conven-
tional topics, and the "well-posted" boys
who know much more than books could
have taught them, will be found in gen
eral to have a father or mother who is
wise enough to visit with them, and who
do not keep their best mental and social
gifts for outside friends.
Show us q ia .her who saves his new
stories or Jokes to delight the family cir
Gle after supper-who has an eye out
for new facts of travel, discovery, science,
literature, art or religion with which to
stimulate conversation at home-who
talks with the little chaps about their
studies and plays, and the older ones
about their duties, ambition and labors
who keeps before his daughters an
ideal of gentleman who treats ladies
with sincerity, reverence and as equals,
and doesn't carry his "small talk in a
separate package from the rest of his
knowledge, strictly for their use, and

Museums of Art.

1t may safely predicted that at the
present day even America, if her IN
bounded wealth were freely drawn upon
for the task, would find it impossible 70
create one single art museum on the
level of those CT even secondary rank in
European countries. Doubtless time
was, and that not long ago, when the
annual expenditure Of money by our
several imperial art administrations
greater it is true, than the pittances
which have been titfully disbursed, but
yet ludicrously small by comparison
with the untold millions which have been
lavished in other ways, with absolutely
nothing to show for the outlay-would
literally have drained Europe Of its art
treasures for the benefit OF the English
race. The myriad treasures which
slumbered, and indeed slumber unseen,
although in ever-waning numbers, in the
cabinets of wealthy amateurs, or which
pass trop hand to hand among dealers
and spectators as symbols of pecuniary
value, surprising in their exorbitant
price even the widest dreams Of the I'M
initiated, might then have have been
gathered almost as grain in harvest time
and in the possession Of the State, have
furnished forth hundred museums and
galleries--but these chances have for
ever passed away. The great European
war Of the early part of this century,
threw into England an enormous vol
ume of art treasures, and the exhaustion
and impoverishment of continental coun-
tries for a generation afterward, still
further enriched us. During all this
time fine works of art were drug in
England, and the rarest and most ex-
quisite things were often banded about
for shilling even As a people we
were ignorant, apathetic and tasteless;
the pearls, alas! were cast before us in
vain. Now, however, this is all changed.
Within very few years even, the tables
have been completely turned on us-6ne
works of art no longer gravitate in this
country, but, on the contrary, they are
being eagerly sought for in our midst by
host of wealthy explorers, spectators
and dealers from all parts Of the Cont
nent. We are outbidden in our own
field, and things of the highest art value
are now, in fact, being as rapidly taken
out Of this country as they were at any
time brought into it, 1t has, indeed,
become automatic that public museums
can no longer contend with wealthy pri-
vate individuals for the possession Of
the finest works of art which occur for
sale

Dead Child's Saving Fund.

The superintendent OF the mlssien for
sick children in New York city tells a
most affecting history of special fund
that was some time since placed in his
charge, and which has been expended in
paying car fares and ferriage for poor
mothers applying to obtain relief for
sick children. 1t was brought to the
superintendent by an officer in the army
who had lost his little son. He said the
little fellow had been all the world to
him, as well as to his fond mother. The
latter was IN the habit Of putting in a
little savings bunk all the loose change
she found in her husbands pocket at
night for the baby After their darling S
death they determined to dispose of the
fund for the benefit of other sick chill
dren. The superintendent then told him
that many poor mothers were daily com
ing to him, and being compelled TO
walk, carrying their infants, were SO
wearied that is would be great charity
to use the money in paying their car
fares home, or providing ferriage money
for convalescent children, to give them a
breath of cooling air on the river in the
evening. When the first box was ex-
bausted second one was brought, aud
that is nearly emptied. The poor
mothers whe have been benefited from
this fund have been told that it was
from the savings of dead child, and
many . prayer has been uttered and
many blessing called dow n from heaven
on that soldier and his wife and son

Literary Reputation.

The fatal accident at st. Paul 70 q
Mrs. S. S. Harris, who claimed to be the
authoress of Rutledge" and other
novels, recalls the propensity of many
men and women throughout civilization
to transpal absurd literary preten-
sions. The name of the Western wo-
man who, until recently, had resided at
Hudson, Wisconsin, seems to have been
Harris-it may have been S. S. Harris
but she appears to have been unrelated
and indeed unknown to Mrs. Sidney S.
or Marion Cole Harris, the real writer
OF the story named She had the repu-
tation of an eccentric, and one of her
eccentricies was plainly to lay claim to
writing books which other persons had
written. She was thought by many to
be on the border of insanity, although
her foolish literary assumptions would
not Of necessity show her to be Of un-
sound mind. Literary pretensions would
seem to be form Of monomania to
which many people are subject. These
monomaniacs, if they are such, are COM
mon in every country and in every city.
Only now and then do they gain any
MOTORCYCLES when the work claimed
has wide reputation, and its author
ship creates controverSy-but they are
always active and inventive somewhere.
Every considerable town has its literary
and journalistic humbug, fellows who
will declare that they have written any
article, happening to b. anonymous, pub
lished in magazine, or any editorial,
letter, criticism, CIR communication print
ed in a newspaper Their falsehood is
soon detected but they do not know Or
care if it is, since it serves their purpose
for the time, and they can tell fresh
falsehood to take the place of the old
one. Whenever a poem, or story, or ar
ticle of any sort, appears without name
in a periodical and rivets attention,
scores of people without intellect or cul-
ture either openly declare or strongly in
innate their connection with it, Every
body must remember the claimants to
Rock Me to Sleep, Mother" and
Beautiful Snow" When the first OF
the Waverly novels won fame, divers
men in London, Edinburgh and Dublin
intimated that they had a hand in the
remarkable stories "Juniuss Letters
had score of would-be authois, so had
Thomas Hopes "Anastasius;" SO had
George Eliot's "Adam Bede;" so had
several Of the No Name tales SO will
any anonymous effort have which draws
public attention. Literary pretension
appears to be the weakness of many
folks possessed Of literary ambition dis
proportional to literary car ability. 1t
is an idiosyncrasy that de6es analysis or
explanation. Sometimes it seems as if
the pretenders had told the lie so fer
vently and frequently that they had
grown tobelieve it themselves-one Of
the phenomena said to accompany long
continued misrepresentation Of any
kind New York Times.

Alas poets and dramatists have very

and morally, the less do we admire
In general they have oval faces, clear

beautiful esnds, soft as velvet and white

They lack the natural grace and pretty

A Substitute for the "Gcm'
Puzzle.

Students at the Boston Institute
of Technology have designed q
rival TO the gem puzzle, which is
beginning to excite considerable
interest about town. Given two
words OF an equal number of let.
ters, the problem is to change one
to the other by altering one letter
at a time of the first so as to make
a legitimate English word, continu-
ing the alterations until the desired
result is attained. The conditions
arc that ouly one letter shall be al-
tered to form each new word, and
that none but words which can be
found in English dictionaries shall
be used. Here are some examples
of the changes:
East to West-East, vast, vest,
West.
Boot to Shoe-Boot, SCOT, shot,
Shoe.
Dog to Cat--Dog, dig, pig, fit,
fat, Cat.
Milk to Hash-Milk, mile, male,
mate, hate, hath, Hash.
Road to Rail--Road, rood, root,
coot, coat, coal, coil, toll, tail, Rail.
Soup to Fish--Soup, soul, soil,
foil, fowl, fool, foot, coot, cost, cast,
fast, fist, Fish.
The game is becoming popular,
says the Springfield Republican, in
railroad Offices las well as in family
circles and at firesides, and seems
to furnish instruction with amuse-
ment.
