"I'll write to Aunt Grizzy at once, and

In the course of time an answer came
from Wild River, stiffly written in pale

the general impression that Aunt Grizzy
had wrestled with it as if it had been a

The Game of Rights and Lefts.

John Debois took a great deal of
trouble to get a good pair of boots in
st. Louis for nothing, but he achieved
success. He was traveller staying at
the Grand Central hotel. He went to
a store and ordered the finest pair that
could be made. He was exact in his
stipulations as to the material and style,
and wished them sent to his room at a
certain time. Then he gave the same
order in another store, except that the
delivery was to be made half an hour
later. The boy who brought the first
pair was sent back to have the left boot
stretched, and the boy who carried the
second pair was sent back with the
right one. Debois then put on the rem
nants. for which he had NOT paid. and
caught the next outbound train,

Mrs. Symington's Bargain.

All women we are told have their
weaknesses, and Mrs. Stanhope Sym
ington was china maniac, as are most
people to some degree in this aesthetic
nineteenth century of the world. But
Mrs. Symington excelled in the matter.
She would prowl in secondhand stores,
penetrate into the cavernous recesses of
tenement-houses, drive long distances
into the country to old homestesds
where she had heard vague rumors con-
cerning "fiaring blue" sold green
glaze" butterfly yellow" and genuine
old India wares" She would remorse-
lessly turn the choicest pieces of mod
ern bric-a-brac from her tables to make
way for spoutless tea-pots, cracked
bowls and noseless jugs. She crowded
her drawing-Toom with brackets, shelves
and cabinets for the accommodation of
ancient plates, which she called
''plaques," and pitchers, which she re-
christened ''vases."
Mr.. Symington, meek little man
with limp yellow white hair, fiat nose
and colorless eyes like dim glass mar
bles, began TO tind it no slight task to
make his way through his own house
without breakage or misfortune.
81 wish there was not such thing as
old china in the world" he lamented
upon one particular occasion, after he
had knocked q handleless cup from a
tripod draped in olive velvet.
"Stanhope," reproved his wife, not
without severity, "would you retard
the progress of modern civilization
This cup, fragile as it may seem, repre-
sents an era in decorative history"
"Well, it won't represent it much
longer" observed Mr.. Symington, as
he gathered up the fragments with
something very like vindictiveness in
his faded eyes.
"But, Stanhope." cried his wife,
"what are you going to do with those
pieces?"
"Throw 'em into the ash barrel, Jo
course, said Mr.. Stanhope, spiritlessly.
But Mrs. Symington rescued them
from his grasp with a shrek of appre
hension.

lated. g can mend them with a LITTLE
cement and a great deal of time; anC

Cloves,

Gloves grow on trees from twenty to
thirty feet high, having a handsome
pyramidal shape, with leaves that are
large, glossy and evergreen. 1t is q
native of Malacca, but is now grown in
nearly all the spice islands of the In
dian ocean, the larger part of the crop
coming from Amboyna, in the island of
Ternate. Many years ago the Dutch
undertook to control the production of
this spice and to confine its growth to
this island; they, therefore, destroyed
the Glove treesin the other spice islands,
but the high prices which they de-
manded gradually led to its cultivation
in territory outside of their jurisdiction,
and they afterward abandoned that
policy. Still, most of the cloves now
produced are grown in Dutch territory,
and the high prices which. have pre-
vailed during the last year or two have
been attributed partly to failure in
the crop at Ternate and partly to the
Acheen war, which has considerably
interfered with the supply usually
derived from Sumatra. The cloves
of commerce are not, as many suppose,
the fruit of the Glove tree, but are the
flower buds. The ripe fruit in shape
resembles a small olive; it is of dark
red color, with one or two cells contain
ing as many seeds, and it is also aro-
matte to a certain extent, and som O.
times appears in commerce in dried
state under the curious name of
"mother of olives" 1t is not nearly
so pungent, however, as the flower
stems. Indeed, the whole tree-leaves,
bark and wood seems to be impregna.

tinctive Glove flavor; but the flower
buds are the principal commercial prod
uct of the tree. When first gathered
they are Of reddish color, but in the
drying process, which is generally
partly done by wood fires and partly in
the sun, they turn a deep brown color,
as they are when they reach us in
America. Although the tree grows
wild to some extent, it is regularly cul-
tivated in plantations, the plants being
some ten or fifteen feet apart and care

Graves in China.

In every direction, as far as the eye
can reach, little hillocks Of earth, from
three to six feet high, are scattered
promiscuously over the country. These
being covered with grass, now dried by
the autumn and scattered as they are
over the cultivated fields, makes one
think of haycocks after a harvest of
timothy or red-top in America. They
are the tombs or graves of past genera
tions of Chinese. And, as the leading
religion or superstition of the country
is ancestral worship, these mounds are
never disturbed or plowed over, but
stand for indefinite ages. It would
seem to a stranger that this sentiment
over the resting place of the dead must,
to material extent, reduce the pro-
ductiveness of the land. For there seems
to be no system of cemeteries as in
other countries, but the owner of the
field at death is buried, as have been
his ancestors before him, in his own
soil at some spot at respectful dis
tance fror; the graves of his predeces-
sor. And thus these tumuh go on in
creasing in number and closeness Of
proximity till it would seem to be only
question of time when the dead will
possess all the soil and starve out the
entire nation.-Letter from China.

The Night.Wind.


Once, when the night-wind clapped its wings,
And shock the window-bars and roof,
] heard the souls Of battle-kings
Drive by in clashing proof
Sometimes q runic strife it kept,
OF winter nights in sleeted trees;
Or underneath the caves it crept-
A swarm of murmuring bees.
Or, now, wild huntsmen of the air
In hollow chase their bugles blew,
While swift Ger wood and hilltop bare
The shrill-voiced quarry flew.
Sometimes heard of lovers flown,
Safe, under ward Of storm and night,
To where, in sylvan lodge, there shone
taper kind and bright.
These things the night-wind used to tell,
And still would tell, if might hear;
But sorrow sleeps too sound and well
To lend dreamful ear.

The Priceless Things.

Those are vulgar things we pay for. be they
stones for crowns of kings;
While the precious and the peerl,ss are IN
priced symbolic things
Common debts are scored and cancelled,
weighed and measured out for gold;
But the debts from men to ages, thoir account
il never told.
Always see. the noblest nations keep their high
ost prize unknown;
. Cheronea's marble lion frowned above unlet-
tered stone.
Balaklava--M Marathon andwho shall mete the
worth Of these2
Shall we huckster with our lifeboats that defy
the leaping seas
All tho Greeks knew Game their victors
honored from the sacred games,
Under arches red with roses, flushed TO hear
their shouted names;
See their native cities take them, breach the
wall TO make gate
What supreme reward is theirs who bring such
honors to their State
In the forum stand they proudly, take their
prizes from the priest;
Little wreaths Of pine and parsley on their
naked temples pressed
We in later days are lowerP Ay manful
stroke is made,
And we raise purse to pay it-making manli-
ness trade
Sacrifice itself grows venal-surely Midas will
subscribe;
And the'shallow souls are satisfied when worth
accepts the bribeI
But e'n here, amid the markets, there are
things they dare prize;
Dollars hide their sordid faces when they meet
anointed eyes.
Lovers do not seek with jewels; flowers alone
can plead for them;
And one fragrant memory cherished is fl
dearer than gem.
Statesmen steer the nation safely; artists paes
the bur ming test,
And their country pays them proudly with a
ribbon at the breast.
When the soldier saves the battle, wraps the
flag around his heart
Who shall desecrate his honor with the values
OF the mart 1?
From his guns of bronze we hew "a piece, and
carve II as a cross;
For the gain he gave was priceless as unpriced
would be the loss.

song of life and death,
Making millions cease their weary toll and

When he gilds the mill and mine, inspires the

Lights with love the hopeless garret, tells tho
tyrant to beware;
When he steals the pang from poverty, with
meanings new and clear,
Reconciling pain and peace, and bringing
blessed visions near;
