A QUEENS THOUGHTS.
Scrap. From the Autobiography of Queen
Elizabeth of ROun,ania.

Translated by tine st. James Gazette.
Coquetry is not always a bait; it is some
times a shield.
forgiveness is almost indifference; while
love lasts forgiveness is impossible.
Often the virtue of woman must be very
great since it has to suffice for two.
A woman is stoned for an action which may
be committed by man of perfect honor.
Men study women as they study the barom-
eter, but they only understand the day after
ward.
Women seek TO counteract in their children
the defects of their husbands and those Of his
family.
A woman enits sometimes daring opinion
but she retires shocked if she is taken at ner
word.
Man destroys with horns like bnl or with
paws like bear; woman. by nibblirg like a
mouse, or by embracing like serpent.
An excellent housewife is always in state
Of despair; one would often like the house less
perfectly kept and more peaceful.
In matters Of science women are so much
accustomed to be treated as OF no account that
they mistrust savans who treat them seriously
From selfshness men make severer laws for
women than for themselves, without suspect
ing that by doing SO they raise them above
themselves.
A woman who is unhappy is flower ex-
posed to the north wind; she remains for a
long time bud, and when she ought to burst
into bloom she fades.
1t is because men are wanting in artistic
sentiment that women paint themselves; if they
had any feeling for the picturesque, rice pow
der itself would disappear.
The man loves above all the women: the
women above the children. (Here, of course,
the fuller meaning, belonging in French to the
word femme" is in the English lost.)
The savage woman is beast of burden; the
Turkish woman is an animal of luxury; the
European wo ran little OF both. Un the
French, ''une bette deux fms" horse for
either saddle or shafts.
The idea that WON m must embelish the
hnery she puts on ind be the ornament of her
own ornaments is thus happily expressed d:
LA toilette n est pas une chose indiff-rente,
ellie fait de vous un otj &C dart anime condi-
ton que sous soyez la parure de votre pa
rure."

Collecting n Dividend.


Oil City Derrick.
In the early days Of tairoading in Missouri,
a six-foot stranger, with bad look in his eye,
one day entered station on the line of the
Blank and Dash road, pulled out ten shares OF
stock in the company, and inquired of the
station master If there were any dividends on
the stock.
"Never heard Of any," was the reply.
"Didn't anybody ever try to collect any div
idends ?"
"If they did. they didn't get anything?' .
"This stock ought to pay ten per cent, -
continued the stranger. "Here's thousand
dollars Ten per cent. year would be ) 100.
I've held these shares three months, which
would be SIS Partner, | want my dizzy -
..But I've nothing to do with it. You must
90 to St. Louis"
"Too fur away. Pm going to collect here
and save time. Pilgrim. count out my dizzy -
The above perora,ion was followed by the
sight of six shooter, and an expression
which meant business, and the agent didn't
lose three minutes counting out the money,
which the stranger took and walked out, with
the remark L at he never invested in stock pay
ing less than ten per cent and didn't believe
in cumulative dividends. This was the only
dividend paid by that road for thirteen years.
and the agent, On a salary of $40 month,
had TO stand that.

Another Entertainment

A foundation is being prepared north Of the
Houston street bridge for some kind of bu Ids
ing; it is in the old bed of the river and in day
gone by we have had many swim in that lit
bend, now made land. 1t is certain this land
does not belong to any private owner-it is
nude land and properly belongs to the river,
or the public. and should be kept free from
encroachment In trying to get foundation
the workmen have reached the river water in a
foot or two of the suriae and cart loads OF stone
are being put In for foundation. This work
ought to be stopped until it is ascertained how
the party claims it. We don't blame people
for taking all they can get, honestly, but thus
encroaching upon the public property is slip
ping up.

A Terrific Accident.

One of the heaviest old "aunties' in the
city "Old Liz" weighing between 400 and
500 pounds fell into privy vault this morn
ing, west of the San Pedro. taking the whole
concern in with her, The accident caused
the widest excitement and merriment al
though 10 laughing matter to the victim to
corpulency. Many ways were tried to get
her out, and it is actually said that horse
power, block and tackle had to be resorted to
get the poor thing out. A broken leg is re-
ported as the extent of the injuries. That
particular vault will not require any further
attention this season.

Death aud Life.

q Death! how sweet the thought
That this worlds strife is ended;
That all we feared and all we sought
Are in one deep sleep ended.
No more the anguish of to-day
To wait the darker morrow;
No more stern call to do or say,
To brood Ger sin and sorrow.
o Death! how dear the hope
That through the thick est shade
Beyond the steep and sunless slope
Our treasured store is laid.
The loved, the mourned, the honored dead
That lonely path have trod,
And that same path We too must tread,
To be with them and God.
o Life ! thou too art sweet;
Thou breath'st the fragrant breath
OF those whom even the hope to meet
Can cheer the gate OF death.
Life is the scene their presence lighted;
Its every hour and place
Is with dear thought of them united,
Irradiate wi h their grace.
There lie the duties small and great
Which we from them inherit
There spring the aims that lead as straight
To their celestial spirit.
All glorious things or seen or heard,
For love or justice done,
The hopeful dead, the ennobling word,
By this poor life are won.
o life and Death like Day and Night,
Your guardian task combine;
Pillar of darkness and of light,
Lead through Earth's storm till bright
Heavens dawn shall shine
