1t is related of the famous Spanish
banker, Don Jose de Salamanca, who
died recently, that in 1858 he gave a
single dinner that cost $4,000.

"A Cincinnati young lady, whose
vanity is largely in excess of her common
sense, has partially destroyed her sight
by the use of preparation for coloring
the eyelashes and ''tinting" the eyelids.

There hasn't been meeting of the
Concord School of Philosophy for over
four months, and it isn't to be wondered
at that Columbus wagon-maker de-
clares that the hind wheels of a wagon
should goin front.-DetroI Free Press.
A pleasant reflection for young
people affected with neuralgia is state

When college students cease putting
wagons astride the ridge-poles of gym

about putting up fire escapes for them.

An exchange announces in a tone of
surprise, The Gar and Czarina have
been dancing at ball" We fail to see
anything very strange about this. Even
in Chicago married people sometimes
dance together if absolutely necessary

William Walker, aged twenty three,
was killed by a blast at Readsboro',
Mass, recently, while walking on the

tells of the effects of the so-called sting
ing tree. The sting of single hair of
it on the hand of victim gave rise to
severe pain over the whole of one side
of the body, followed by numbness and
partial paralysis. A sensation of losing
the senses or becoming insane" was
experienced, and the severe symptoms
lasted for two hours. The punctured
spot remained painful for nearly month.
The elaborate patchwork quilts, so
dear to our grandmothers and still oc-

misapplied industry. There is at Red

-Berlin's Jumbo" the pet elephant
which carried children on its back in the
Geological Garden, recently killed its

John Jones began at the age of if
teen to build a monument and finished
it at fifty. He worked night and day,
often all night long, and on the Sab
bath. He seemed to be in great hur-
ry to get it done. He spent all the
money he earned upon it--some say
$4,000. Then he borrowed all he
could; and when no one would loan
him any more he would take his wife's
dresses and the bed-clothes and many
other valuable things in his home and
sell them to get more money to finish
that monument.
They say he came home one day and
was about to take the blankets that Law
over his sleeping baby to keep it warm.
and his wife tried to stop him; but he
drew back his fist and knocked her
down, and then went away with the
blankets and never brought them back.
and the poor baby sickeped and died
from the exposure. At last there was
not anything left in the house. The
! DOR, heart broken wife, soon followed
the baby to the grave. Yet John Jones
kept working all the more at the monu-
ment. | saw him when he was about
fifty years old. The monument. was
nearly done; but he had worked so
hard at it that L hardly knew him, he
was so worn; his clothes were all in tat
tiers, and his hands and face, indeed,
his whole body, were covered with
scars VIII CHI he got in laying up some
of the stones. And the wretched man
had been so little, all this while he was
building, in good society that he had
about forgotten how to use the English
! Inn C,
come very thick, and when he tried to
speak, out would come an oath.
That may seem strange; but have
found out that all who build such monu-
ments as Johns prefer oaths to any 9TH
er word!
Now come with me and will show
you Johns monument. 1t stands in a
beautiful part of the city where five
streets meet. Most men put such things
in the cemetery. But John had his own
way and put it on one of the finest lots
to be found.
"Does it look like Bunker Hill monu-
ment?" asks little Amy Arlott by my
side.
Not at all. John didn't want to be
remembered that way. He might have
taken that $50, 900 and built an asylum
for poor little children that have no
home, and pc pie would have called the
asylum his monument.
But here we are at the front door. It
is grand house! II is high and large,
with great halls and towers, and velvet
carpets, elegant mirrors and piano,
and l know not what all; so rich and
grand.
This is John Jones' monument and
the man who sold John nearly all the
whisky he drank lives here with his
family, and they all dress in the richest
and nest clothes.

~ o WIND THAT BLOWS OUT OF
la . THE WEST"

o wind that blows out of the West,
Thou has swept over mountain aud sea;
Dost thou bear on thy swift glad wings
The breath of love to me2
Hast thou kissed her warm, sweet lips1
Or tangled her soft brown hair? FL
Or f1uttered the fragrant heart
Of the rose she loved to wear2
o sun that goes down in the West,
Hast thou seen my love to-day, ,tt guig
AS she sits in her beautiful prime
Under skies so far away?
Hast thou gilded path for her feet,
Or deepeued the glow on her cheeks,
Or bent from the skies to hear ..
The low, sweetwords she speaks?
o stars that are bright in the West
When the hush of the night is deep,
Do yesee my love as she lies ...
Like chaste, white flower asleepp
Does, she smile as she walks with me
In the light of happy dream,
While the night winds rustic the leaves,
And the light waves ripple and gleam2
o birds that.hy out OF the West.
Do ye bring me message from her,
ASsweet rs your lOve-notes are.
When the warm spring breezes stir2
Did she whisper a word of me
As your tremulous wings swept by,
Or utter my name, mayhap
In single, passionate cryr
Ovoices out of the West.
Ye are silent every one,
And never an answer comes
And the ~ the birds come and 40
Through the boundless fields of space,
As reckless of human prayers
AS If earth were desert place,

Uncle John was Harry's ideal of 8
great and noble man. And it was nota
mistaken ideal. Uncle John hair was
white with the passing of over eighty
winters, but his eye was bright, his step
firm an his voice earnest and kindly

world calls success.

Don be too sure about what you

'When | was boy, good deal
smaller than you, l lived in a small

Reaching gu tie across the creek, dis

water, was bridge spanning the

boarded up some four feet high These
