Two Women.

A grandma sits In her great arm chair;
Balmy sweet Is tie SOFT spring air
through tho lattfced, lilac shadowed pane
Che looks to the orchard beyond the lane.
And she catches the gleam OF woman's dress
That child 10 glad as the day is long
Her lover is coming, her ife's a song"
Up from the orchards lowery bloom
Floats FRO france faint to the dark ming room
Where grandma dreams, till tender grace
And softer light steal into her face.
For once again she is young and fair,
And twining roses in her hair.
Once again. blithe as the lark above,
She is only girl, and girl In Lowell
The years drop from their weary pain:
She fs clasped in her lovers arms again;
The last faint glimmers OF daylight die:
Stars tremble out Of the purple sky
Ere Dora Tits up the garden path,
Sadly afraid OF the grandma'S wrath.
With rose-red cheeks and flying hair
She nestles down by the old arm chair.
.Grandma, Dick says, may we-may-I-"
The faltering voice grows strangely shy,
Bnt grandma presses the little hand;
"fe es, my dearie, understand
"He may have you, dariing!s Not all in vain
Did grandma dream she was q girl againi
She gently twisted a shining curl
"Ah, mel the philosophy Of a girl!
'.rake the worlds treasures-its noblsst, best
And love will outweigh all the rest!''
And through tho easement the moonlight cold
Streams On two heads-one gray, one gold.

The Device of Jersey City Boys For Climb
b ing Telegraph Poles.

The practice of Jersey City boys of
climbing telegraph poles by means of an
ingenious continuance made of piece
of wire has become so common that the
police have been instructed to put a
stop to it. Who invented the idea of
using q piece of wire as a means of as
cending telegraph pole nobody seems
to know. but it is claimed that the in
ventor was Jersey City boy. A piece
of wire about four feet long is made in
to a running loop around the pole,
leaving about foot and half of each
end of the wire hanging down. These
ends are fastened about the right foot
of the boy. When the foot is raised in
going up the pole. the wire is carried
upward. A slight pressure with the
foot on the wire draws it tight about
the pole so that it cannot slip down. Af-
ter the boy has gone up us high as he
dares he 3rasps the pole in his arms,
lifts his foot, thus loosening the wire,
and slides easily to the ground. Al
though the plan is simple it does not
always work. This was the case with
boy at the corner Of Monmouth and
Mercer streets recently. After he had
reached height Of fifteen feet he
found that he could not get down again,
and he was force to lang OH TO tho
pole for nearly half an hour. Finally
another boy fastened his wire about
the pole. climbed up. and freed the 9th
cr's foot SO that he could get down.
In the meantime a large crowd hail
gathered about the pole expecting To
see the boy fall. s..u,- .5l

4 Touching Incident,

Over the hills. not three miles from
Whitehall. says the Times, reside a
family who have = little two-year old
prattler. The family have box of rat
tlesnakes that are quite docile and
tame. The little chubby hands,of the
two-yeor- daily drops little morsels
of food in the box, and tho reptiles
have become 30 accustomed to her Wis
its that they will raise up their tails
when they hear the pit-a-pat ct her APP
preaching footsteps. The child's moth
er. during the hot days. has the cradle
brthgh: out, and the little one quietly
takes its afternoon nap within few
feet Of the box; and as the mother
sings sweet lullaby to her precious
darling, the snakes always join in the
chorus, and the weird and musical
noise Of the rattle resembles the soft
monotony Of the snare drum Of the or
chestra.
Often the mother rocks her child to
sleep while she fans its face with palm
leaf, which she keeps always on the
foot of the child's couch.
One Sunday afternoon the child had
become tired of feeding the snakes,
and the mother did not SEQ the little
one rs she quietly moved away the COW
or. The child became sleepy, it is sup
posed, and then it crawled into the era
die, as it was often accustomed to do.
The mother was engaged in doing her
housewori1, and therefore paid little at
tention to wee Katie. She was sudden
ly attracted by the rattling of the
snakes, and she walked to the door,
where sight met her eyes that at first
caused her great alarm.
The child was in the cradle, and at
each rocker was snake, rocking it
gently with their tails, while four more
large specimens stood near by, produ-
cling the music which was so soothing
to the child's ears.
But the most remarkable of all was
large rattlesnake perched upon high
chair at the child's head, with its tail
coiled about the handle of the PALM
leaf fan. gently swaying it backwards
and forwards over its face.
1t was picture for an artist, and
showed that the Creator of all things
had even put in the breast of reptiles
that greatest of all virtues, love and
gratitude.
The mother stood and watched the
reptile nurses for a few moments. when
all feeling of fear entirely left her bo-
when the. music ceased. the fan was
gently laid upon tho cradle. the four
snakes uncOiled their tails from about
the rockers. and In less than thirty see
onds the whole tribe were in the box
again. having returned voluntarily.
They behnli the ohild's mother, and
knew that their services were no longer
required, therefore they reiinquishcd
their precious charge into the mothers
keeping.
The little story is. alas. too true. and
Is another evidence that all the intelli.
gence Gf the snake kingdom was not
monopolizsd by that traditional reptile
that psddled apples in Eden.

Left-handed on Both Sides.

In the old time. in Philadelphia. tho
disciples in the faith of William Pom
invariably wore the singlc-breasted
drab or snuif-colored coat, and wero
strict in their notion of having the but
tons thereof on the LETT side OF the coat
aforesaid At 4 dinner given by him.
friend Elias Breasy had secured big
buck darkey TO ''tend table," 10 whom
he gave imperative orders to hand
things to guests at the left side.
..Thee will always know by their coat
buttons, Caesar, whic. is the left side"
Among the guests was French gem
tIen,an who wore dOuble-breasted
coat-a worldly garment. The darkey.
ip handing round the soup. paused be-
hiul the French gentleman. looked at
his coat and stood, for moment. an
ebony statue of despair. struggling with
doubt and n plate of soap.
Presently he yelled out: ''Messa Las
its no use-buttons on boH sides.
and handed the plato to the French
guest over his head. ''Dats de ftist
time I cher seed man dat was 9leif-
handed on boH sides oh his coate''

Bronzing OF Gliding Pine Frames.


Tarnisl the frame with what is
called color varnish, and when dry rub
it down with pulverized pumice-stono
and water; sprinkle it over tho varnish.
and rub it with a piece of chamois skin,
and wet it over with a sponge and wa
ter. After this is done, wash off in
clean cold water, then go over it with
q thin solution of ordinary starch and
water, and let it remain until through
with the operation of brOnzing; then
grind a small quantity of chrome yell
low in warm varnish. and apply with
camers hair pencil OF brush, the same
AS in ordinary stripping. When the size
becomes tacky. proceed to put on the
bronze powder in, the following man
ner: Take small ball of raw cotton.
and inciose it in n piece of cotton or
silk velvet. by bringing the corners up
together. and wind it viii, a piece of
twine. Dip this in tie bronze powder,
and rub it lightly over the work. When
dry, wash with a sponge and cold wa
ter. to remove all the starch and super
nuous bronze.
When the white margins of engrav-
in9s have become discolOred or stained,
cut away all the white part and paste
the picture upon a new piece of card
board the size of the frame. To clean
the glasses over engravings, rub them
with whiting. If there is sand, clay or
any gritty substance in it. the glass that
Is rubbed with it will be scratched, and
that is a very bad result, for pictures
should be seen through glass that is
invisibly clear. Put thu whiting in a
bowl and pour water on it; after awhile,
when it is settled to the bottom. pour
off the water and replenish. Repeat
this process several times; then, when
the substance has become dry enough
to. cake, turn it out of the bowl and
scrape the dirt and foreign particles
from the bottom, put the whiting back
in the bowl, wet it again. and spread it
in the sun. When it is dry it will be
as fine as powder. and can be put away
in covered tin box to keep for use.

Jubal Early.

l saw old Jubal EARLY the other
day, says correspondent, and among
all the queer characters you meet in
Virginia ne is perhaps the queers-st. He
was a union man before the war, and
fought secession with bitterness in
keeping with his intense traits of char
actor. When the ordinance passed, in
spite of his protest. he went homo and
raised company for the war, and he
has never yet learned that the conflict
is ended. He seems to live entirely in
the past. and to find happiness only in
personal conflicts and revival of tho
animosities of the war. l saw him at
his home in Lynchburg. where he earns
his living by practicing law. should
judge his life is not a pleasant one. He
rooms by himself, unsurrounf,ed by tho
comforts of home and family, anil
boards Mt a hotel. He is bent and
bowed like man of 80 years, and yet
He was a graduate of West Point. but
did not remain in the army. Those
who remember him just after his grad
uation speak of him as splendid-look-
ing young man, with almost a perfect
military air and carriage. To-day bis
dropping shoulders. long gray beard.
flowing white hair, and powerful staff
upon which he leans for support give
him an appearance not unlike Joe JEFF
ferson's representation of Rip Van
Winkle; yet they tell me he presents
much the same appearance as when he
was acknowledgement in the confed-
crate army. riding at the head of the
Second army corps, which be COM
manded That he is still vigorous, not
withstanling his appearance. and is full
of fire, fight and vindictiveness, is evf-
dent.
He wears the old regulation gray.
the color still loved and respected by
soutberners. and thus preserves the
memories of the past in his everyday
appearance. as in his words and efforts.
He is rather above the medium size,
and has q massively moulded frame,
naturally capable of great powers Of
endurance. His friends say that his
mind is still clear and vigorous, and
that he is by no means an old man. He
seems 10 have no close friendships, but
to live within himself and upon the rec
objections of the past. His recent as
sault upon Malone seems to have re-
vived interest in him all over the coun-
try. and it has brought him prominent
ly before the people of the state where
he was almost forgotten.

Peculiar Accidents and Incidents q
Theatres.

Theatres.
Sometimes cur heart bleeds for motors
and actresses when we think what they
have to go through with. The other
night at Watertown, N. T., Miss Ada
Gray was playing Camille" and in
the dying scene, whore she breathes
her last, to slow music, an accident oc-
Cured that broke her all up. She Was
surrounded by sorrowing friends who
were trying to do everything to make it
pleasant Tor her, when the bed on
which she was dying. an in,promptu
sort Of bed got up by the stage carpen-
ter. tipped >partly over and tho dying
woman rolled over on the stage, tip
ping over wash-stand filed with tum-
blers and bottles of medicine, and rails
ing deuce of . row. It would have
been all right and she could have prop
ped the bed up and proceeded with her
dying. had not the actress got ratified.
Most actresses get lost entirely when
anything occurs that is not in the play.
and Miss Gray was the scaredest female
that ever lived. She thought it was q
judgment upon her for playing dying
character, and thought the whole thea
ire had been struck by lightning and
was going to fah down. To save her-

and she fell over the base viol and run
one foot through the snare drum. and
grasping q fiddle for q life-peserver
she jumped into the raging scenery

she could be induced to 60 to bed again
and proceed with her dying.
