WHAT He TOLD ME At THE
STILE.

at WAS the day before he went
To join his ship, Sabbath day;
The air was fragrant with the scent
That came from fields Of new-mown hay.
When church was out, know not why
paused a moment at the door;
He did not bow and pass me by
AS he had often done before.
But, coming straight to where stood,
He asked if he might see me home;
And Ger the field and through the wood
happy hour we two did roam.
We plucked the peoples in the field,
And in the wood we gathered ferns,
But half his thought he kept concealed
Like hidden fire that smouldering burns
But when we reached the stile that crowns
The hill above my fathers farm,
Even as a sinking man that browns
He seized me quickly by the arm
And as I stood with bated breath,
q Not knowing what to do or say.
He told his love, and said till death
My face would be his star Away.
I wonder if he sees his star
While sailing weary, weary miles
sOVer the southern pillows, far
Away among the tropic isles?
Surely he must for steadfastly
1t shines with light for none but him;
.Ay, everybody seeing me
Says that my eyes are growing dim.
1t is because from morn till night
/ gaze across the treacherOuS deep:
But when he comes they will be'brlght
~ Once more, and no longer weep.

Covering Floors by a New Process.

A new process of covering floors is
described as follows: The floor is
thoroughly cleaned. The holes and
cracks are then filed with paper putty,
made by soaking newspapers in passe
made as follows: To one pound of floIr
add three quarts of water and table
spoonful of ground alum, and mix
thoroughly. The floor is coated with
this paste, and then thickness of ma
nilla or hardware paper is put on. This
is allowed to dry thoroughly. The ma
nilla paper is then covered with paste
and layer of wall paper of any style or
design is put on. After allowing this to
dry thoroughly it is covered with two or
three more coats of sizing made by dis
solving half pound of white glue in
two quarts of water. After this Is al
lowed to dry the surface is given in one
coat of ''hard oil finish varnish, which
can be bought already prepared. This
Is allowed to dry thoroughly, when the
floor is ready for use. The process is
represented to be durable and cheap,
and besides taking the place of mating,
carpet, oilcloths, or like covering. ma kes
the floor air-tight, and permits of its De
ing washed. Chicago Times.

Michael Davltt's Diamond Ring.
London Truth.


Hero worship takes singular forms In
England, but since the Catewayo episode /
have had nothing more comic to chroni-
Gle than the history of the diamond ring
which adorns the efligy of Mr.. Davitt at
Madame fussaud's. A fair and wealthy
admirer of the father of the Land League
wrote him an effusively eulogistic letter a
few weeks since, enclosing a valuable
diamond ring, Mr.. Davitt, who is, / be-
lieve, quite fancy free, transatlantically
speaking, was too honorable to accept a
sentimental offering on false pretenses, and
returned the gem with letter of modest
gratitude; whereon his persevering admirer
went off to Baker street and placed the ring
on Michael's waxen finger, leaving an un-
signed note to the custodians to warn them
OF the valuable and vicarioue offering,
which has necessitated. hear, an additional
amount of surveillance on the part OF

room In which his business as telNRra ph

he had listened In q mechanical sort OF way
10 the messages that were flashing over the
wiree--orders concerning the movements OF
trains, brief commercial messages, telling Ia
terse language the state Of the markets In
all parts Of the world, Christmas greetings
from friends and relatives who sought to
make separation less painful by an inter-
change of kindly words and sentiments
and in the the midst of them all come those
three words TO his office---three little words
that meant sorrow aud desolate hearts In
some household on the morrow, that day
when peace and JOY and good will should
reign everywhere supreme.
And so, as John Heathcote placed the
message in an envelope and sent II by his
Office boy to an address with which he wss
not familiar, there was, perhaps, tbe suspi-

instinctively that the message be was TO 70
ceivs would bring him more bad news. And
he was right.
"Mamie ls dead; will be homo in the
morning." were the words that came to him
over the wires, and then the tears In honesi
John Heathcote's eyes were plain enough
and he was not ashamed that he had wept
at the sorrows of people all unknown u
him.
When the morning train from the wes

fact that the people Of the interior could not

her happiness in being able to please them.

Department Clerk
tPhiladeiDhia Times.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Commissione
Mcfarland of the Land Office is an ex-
tremely decoruus person and praises highly
the preservation of dignity throughout hts
precincts of the Interior Department. He
was shocked beyond all bearanee yesterday,
and the result was that young man named
Dering Fosdick, gentleman Of remarkably
fine physical proportions, was dismissed.
and the office is scandalized. Some months
ago, perhaps not over six, Fosdick married
q very estimable and amiable young lady, q
daughter of Commodore Whiting, OF the
navy. For a while It seems that Fosdlck
has been in the habit Of showing attentions
to pretty young lady clerk Of the depart
ment, and his wife hearing OF it became
very much incensed. The story goes that
she called upon Commissioner Mcfarland
and laid her grievance before the patriarch
of the land office, who called up
the recreant husband and administered some
| sound advice, Fosdick however, made light
OF the fatherly counsel of his superior and
| insisted upon walking to and from the Office
| with the young lady. Yesterday afternoon
| the Land Office was thrown into q whirl OF
excitement by the appearance Of Mrs.
F0sdick, armed with = rawhide, In search
OF the young lady. She went TO the room
where the offender was employed and made
an attempt to assault her, but the pretty
clerk escaped unhurt, Mrs. Fosdick started
to run down the hall, whip in hand, a:tel
| her.
Back and forth, up and down, across the
whole length of the building they flew, tht
pursued one but step or two in advance O.
the terrible rawhide. The chase wat
brought to close by the watehmau and tn,
dignifed Commissioner grayely informed o
the cause of the commotion Having slep
upon it last night he sent for Mr. FosdicE
to-day and announced his peremptory dis
charge.

Tha nIarkct Ordlnance.

City Council passed the market ordinance
last evening and the measure Is now law
Of the city.
The effect of the ordinance will not be
manifest at once, particularly that portion
authorizing a market on Madison street.
This is q project the success of which
will depend in large measure
upon the people living in the west
ern part Of the city, for II they pass the
Madison street market to make purchases
on King street, as usual, the new market
will not last a month. On the other nand,
If they encoura ge those who venture to try
their fortunes IN the new location by a
liberal patronage, its success will be
assured, and the result will be an equitable
division of the market and q great con-
venienee to the residents of that portion Of
the city.
The most Objectionable portion Of the or
dinance-that providing for change of the
market from King to French streets-having
seen stricken out during the early stages Of
Its consideration, but little public opposi-
tion was subsequently manifested, people
looking upon the new departure as an ex-
pertinent worthy of fair trial. The or
dinance contains some additional regulations
but none we believe, that are calculated 10
prove irksOme, or restrict the perfect free
dom that has been the chief charm and
value of our produce market for many
years. We hope the people will fully and
fairly test the new order of things, and
make the division OF the market not only
practicable but highly successful.
