An Old Story, but Still True.

Timothy Ruggles was six feet six
inches in height and had a fine and
stately bearing, and was man of ''in-
finite jest" 1t is related through ira
ditional sources that the coming in ofthe
SupremeCourt of Iudicature at Barnstaz
BILE, about the year 1742, headed by Chief
Justice Lyme, an old woman came into
the Court House as a witness, and not
seeing a seat at hand she was directed
by Ruggles to take the Chief Justices
seat, and so she innocently took it.
Soon the Court, in all the provincial
pOnp and circumstance, entered with
the accompanied officers and announced
"The Court y whereupon the Chief
Justice, with no small degree of indig-
patton, inquired of the old lady ''why
she was there" She Immediately
pointed to Ruggles and said ''That
man told me to take this seat" The
Chief Justice ordered her to leave his
seat, and after the Judge had taken it,
turning to RuggleS with a aproper degree
of indignation and firmness, said ''Mr.
Ruggles, why did you give this woman
my seat ?" Ruggles replied 81 thought
it good place for old women"

the sand for four-and-twenty hours, and
then skinniDg it, after which its flesh is
said to make tolerable soup, in flavor
happily combining fish and fowl, the
former predominating. There is some
thing very weird about these solemn
black birds (scarts, as they are called,
which haunt the dark caves along the
rocky coast. In the innermost recesses
they heap up pile of dry seaweed,
selecting, with merring instinct, spot
where the highest spring tide cannot
touch them. There they lay their eggs,
and sit guarding their nests, or else
stand solemn and immovable on the
rock lodges, never stirring till we are
well inside their cave, when sudden
flap of dusky wing startles us, and they
dash past us with piercing cries. Well
does the seaman recognize the voice
of these birds of ill-emen, whose shrill
notes invariably herald the coming
storm.
1t is very pretty, however, to watch
them fishing, as they pounce on their
silvery prey and gluttonously struggle to
swallow it alive, though, perhaps,
twice too big for comfort, and, more
over, wriggling piteously all the time.
In olden days, some of our ancestors
imported fishing cormorants from
France and from Holland, and enjoyed
their sport as fully as do the Chinese
cormorant-fshers of the present day,
fastening a leathen strap round the
lower part of the throat, to prevent the
birds from actually swallowing their
prey, and training them to return to
their masters and disgorge their spoils.
Wonderful is the amount and variety of
bird-life to be seen ON some of the out
lying rocky islets, where birds of
every sort and kind congregate in count
less multitudes. Thousands of pufiins
burrow in the turf like rabbits, while
on every rocky ledge sits closely packed
rows of sea-gulls, guillemots and kitti-
wakes, black-headed gulls, stormy pc
trels, eider-down ducks in short, all
manner of wild-eyed beautiful birds
guarding their precious blue or green
eggs, which lie in millions on the bare
rocks or half hidden among the grass
and rushes, while feathery clouds float
in mid-air, lowering near their mates,
and appearing in the distance almost
like shower of drifting snowflakes,
cleaning in the sunlight. For all low
ers of such beautiful, wild bird-life,
can conceive no greater enjoyment
than yachting cruise in the Hebrides
in the early spring-time. An the Year

ARE ALL THE CHILDREN IN 2

The darkness falls, the wind in high.
Donse, blsck clouds fill the western skyi
The storm will soon begin;
The thunders roar, the lightnings flash,
/ hear the great, round rain-drops dash
Are all the children ina
Theyr coming softly to my side;
Their forms within my arms l hide
No other arms are surel
The storm may rage with fury wild,
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near,
They II 90 from this warm shelter here
Out in the worlds wild din;
The rains will fall, the cold winds blow,
I'll sit alone and long to know,
Are all the children in1
Will they have shelter then secure,
Where hearts are waiting strong and sure,
And love is true when tried2
Or, will they find broken reed
When strength of heart they so much need
To help them brave the tide2
God knows IL all his will is best,
I'll shield them now and yield the rest
In his most righteous hand;
Sometimes the souls he loves are riven
By tempests wild, and thus are driven
Nearer the better land,
If he should call us home before
The children go, on that blessed shore
A far from care and sin,
know that shall watch and wait
fill he, the Keeper ofthe gate,
Lets all the children in.

An italian in America.

Landing at New York by ferry-boat
is the first impression l get of Ameri.
cans. To us who have no estimate of
hurry, and live longer than these people
exist, the scene is very attractive-in
one sense ! The ferry-boat is crossing
early in the morning and is full of bust
ness men-that proud term of country
which recognizes the dignity of labor
and condemns our dolce far niente. No
one waits for the chain to be lowered !;
this chain Oftimes protects free peo-
pie from going overheard. They all
jump over it, and frequently before the
boat touches the wharf. That is pro-
gressive Young America. And from
that early hour until the evening, when
they go back on this boat, they are
jumping over endless chains of COM
merce and coins. The great nation of
jumpers The republic of hurry
Young men in the prime of life jump
into graves; middle-aged men hurry
into cotfins l live on, type of retro
gressive Italy Oh, progress, progress |
On thy altar are the sacrifices of mil
lions of lives, millions of luxurles, and
millions of happlnesses. am hurried
off the ferry-bOat and hurried into a
cab; am hurried into hotel, bath,
dining-room where dinner is hurried
into me, and then told that this is prog
ress. / am hurried in and out of bed
and down Broadway, the veriest gulf
stream of all hurry, Yes, II is prog.
gress ! So is locomotive on the Hud-
son River Railroad at eighty miles an
hour. So is cabling messages for the
daily dress under the Atlantic, when
the messages are worth cabling So is
lobbying at Albany on appropriation
bills Progress here is to me paradox,
because l have not yet lost my Italian
peouliarities. The American girl is
champagny, She is glittering, foamy,
bubbly, sweet, dry, tart-in word,
fizzy She, has not that dreamy, magi-
cal, murmury l0veliness of our Italian
girl. And yet there is a cosmopolitan
combination in the American girl that
makes her a most attractive coquette
in her frankness, in her pardonahle fri
yolity, In her being a phenomenon OF
of verbal intrigue You may lose your
head easily with her in a week, and in
the way Of recollecting what you had
said to her yesterday, for she is gifted
with memory, but your heart-jamais :?
1t takes longer time for that But he
sure she will have both sooner or later.
| don't believe she Is half as mercenary
as she talks, in the vein of what female
heart can gold despise, Yet she gives
you a strong impression that the alpha
and omega Of life, is modiste and a
millionaire. My impression of an
American girl is one never to be for
gotten. She is bright, brisk and busi-
ness=like, To I've conoiss, 1 would call
the American girl q sort of social cate
chism-full of questions and answers.
In many instances she omits the answers
and becomes an incarnate questioner.

Rose Perfume.

The Weekly Hdlrkeye says: "Gather
all the fragrant roses you ean-no mat.
ter if you are week gathering-and
when you get good many, take an iron
mortar and pestle, like druggist has,
till the mortar and pound the leaves to IA
pulp. 1t will be quite like "a lump of
dough. Then take your thimble and
use it for measure-fill it full of the
mixture, empty out in to your hand, and
between your palms roll and roll, until
you make compact little ball round
as marble. Make up all your rose
dough material this way, place on
plates and dry in the sunshine. They
will be dark and brown looking, but
The scent of the roses will cling to them
STILL" These are to be put in drawers
and trunks and band-boxes, and among
your table and bed and towel linen,
and they will be just as fragrant for
years as when you plucked the short
lived beauties and buried your face low
ingly drawn into their glowing red
hearts. have made beads Of them by
making them a trife smaller and dry
ing them with pins stuck through the
centres. Then they can be strung.
Again, l have made them into little
thin cakes the size of crackers. They
are nice any way, for the great charm
remains the same. Instead of pestle
and mortar you can take your stew
kettle and potato masher in a pinch. y

Birds of the Hebrides,

Curiously enough of all the birds pro-
hibited by the Levitical law as unclean,
the only one ever eaten is the cormo-
rant, which is certainly one of the least
tempting of fowls. 1t is such satanic
looking bird thas the very look of it
always suggests Milton's legend of its
having been the first creature whose
form was assumed by the arch-fiend,
when, perched on the tree of life, he
overlooked with envious eye the fair
Garden of Eden, plotting how to work
mischieffor the blissful pair. The fishy
taste of this repulsiye-looking bird is
considerably diminished by burying itiu

"Oh, give me herself also," cried
Abel Grimes with powerful emotion, as
he seized the lady's hand and drew aside
the veil from the calm sweet face of his
old love, Mary Albright.

Restoring Plants $500 Years Old.
A curious experiment hasrecently been
tried with wreaths and yotive offerings
taken from the tomb of an Egyptian
king, where they had been drying for
$500 years, Under judicious manipula-
tion in hot water the dry cells swelled
into their original plumpness, and the
leaves, attached to card board and treated
like recent specimens, We're sent to Sir
Joseph Hooker at Kew and exhibited at a
late soiree of the Royal Society. Not only
were the form of the leaves so far re-
stored that they could be botantically
identified but the intricate venation of
the flower petals could be plainly trac-
ed the eoloring of lilies, larkspurs and
other flowers was displayed, and even
the distinctive orders of some speei-
mems were preserved. In general,
these old leaves and grasses We're
the same as of similar species to-day.

Horticulture.
Grasses.

Just bank of towering grasses,
Lightly swaying TO and fro,
As the summer sOuth-wind passes
In the noon tide glow
In their diverse beauty fashioned,
Turning often to the sky,
Whence a glare of light impassioned
Answers to the sigh.
Gaily greeting each wayfarer,
Shyly bending to the breeze,
Surely earth's great Burden bearer
Careth much for these.
All, the quantity Towering grasses
As again we pass them by,
Lie in brown and dropping masses.
Gathered but to die
Is their murmur complaining
For their day so quickly passed.
Do they mourn its heetness-claiming
1t should ever last2
Such wealth of sweetness granted,
As had never graced their bloom,
Fills the air till we are haunted
By the rich perfume.
In their fragrant stiffness lying,
Where so lately they counseled faith,
They in every act of dying
Whisper love in DEATH

Justice.

Buffalo, 3I.-The jury in the case
of Thomas WaldrOn, better known
as the brother of Frank, resident
of st. Joseph's College. on trial the
past week on a charge of raping a
little girl six years and a
half old, after delibera-
alton of twenty-four hours. rem
dered a verdict Of guilty on the sec
Ond count of attempt at rape. The
prisoners counsel requested a sus-
pension of sentence until o'clock,
which was granted by the court.
At that time the court was again
crowded and the prisoners counsel
made an eloquent plea in his behalf
for mercy. Judge Halt, in pro-
nOuncing the sentence, said the
jury had been pretty merciful in the
case, and the parents of other chill
dren had informed him of similar
attempts by the prisoner; he there
fore sentenced the prisoner to the
full extent of the law, five years.
