I'm going home tomorrow,
1t fills me with delight;
For there III greet the loved ones.
So far away tonight
With eager, joyous faces.
They'll II meet me at the door;
And from their hearts win give me,
A welcome home once more
I'm going home tomorrow;
To rest beneath the roof,
Where my early years were blended,
Duh warp with shining wool
That spot seems like haven;
l was born and fostered there,
Ny childhood there was nur mred
Beneath a mothers care.
That mother now is aged;
Her hair of silver hue;
Her step is growing feeble,
Her voice is fainter, too.
But every line and furrow
Upon my mothers face,
Is proOfof earnest life work,
And lends an added grace.
So mother, dear, I'm coming,
To nestle by your side;
Tohold your hand once more in mine,
And throw the world aside.
I'll greet my dear old father,
Who's loved me long and well;
But strongest words must fail me,
Ofall his love to tell.
The years are passing DER him
Their marks are on his brow;
My father, oh, my fatherl
Would l were with thee now.
\ sister dear and brothers,
Shall there my thoughts engage,
My heart o'erfows with longings;
Tomorrow seems an age.
Kind friends, 1 leave behind me,
In this dear stranger land,
And often when I'm absent,
III miss each friendly hand.
Some voice of loving kindness,
Some laugh of joyous mirth;
But while muse i'll sadness,
New Joy shall find its birth.
For I'm going home tomorrow,
And I'll dream of it tonight,
And wake to new born rapture,
With to-morrow's dawning light.

The Tribune office and sit for half an hour or

public questions. Speaker Colfaxwas almost a

but the class of people who used to visit the
Row do not go there now. The bays on the
Row to-day are just as bright and just as re-

years ago, but certain it is that public men
now avoid newspaper offices.

a Charming Eear-Tamer.

A writer in The Washington Post, dis
cussing the characteristics of former men,
bers Of congress who were noted for their &C.
centricities, describes transformation in one
of these worthless. brought about by the in
Guence upon him of the eStimable wife of a
well-known member of congress from Ohio
The story is about Gabe Bouck, the brass
buttoned, blue-coated woman-hater, who
served in congress for two terms. He only
distinguished himself in congress by voting
"No" so loud that he could be heard in Alex
andria when proposition was up looking to
woman suffrage Bouck is rich, and now
has only one ambition, and that is to be gov
ernor of Wisconsin.
Bouck underwent a queer transformation
when he came to Washington to serve in con-
gress. He had never white shirt or waist
coat before coming here. His shirt was a
= black flannel, with heavy gold chain
twisted down its front; his coat was a blue
frock, adorned with huge brass buttons His
face was heavy and swarthy, his nose turned
up, a decided pug, while his eyes were black
and viciousiy crossed. Over low forehead
shock of uncombed hair This eccentric
lawyer, man of ability, sworn bachelor,
and bowling hater of women, came to the
Ebbitt house and was seated at the table
where sat Congressman Mckinley and his
wife. Her bright, sunny, ladylike ways sub
dued at once the man who had never men
toned for fifty years a woman's name with
out an oath. Gradually Bouck became trans
formed. He bought a white shirt and
waistcoat, he had his hair cut and combed,
and finally he added the browning stroke by
having his boots BACKED. He was, while
here, the chivalrous and devoted slave of the
charming Mrs Mckinley, who used to be
called by her lady friends 'the bear-tamer."

Tea and Coffee at Night.
London Truth.

The use of tea at night is another verv
mixed question. If your nerves are fatigued,
tea will often make you sleep; but if you are
over-excited, it will keep you restless and
awake. As rule, most late workers are in
the habit of slipping tea Many do not find
that it Injuries their sleep, and suppose that
most doctors would agree that, if this is the
case, tea for the student is far better than
alcohol in any shape These remarks
also apply to coffee. Black coffee in
hot countries seems to be the great
panacea for all the woes of life 1t appar-
emily suits some late students and business
men better than tea in times of pressure and
it is certainly superior to any form of alcohol.
A head clerk in one of the largest offices in
London told me that during a fortnight of
commercial panic, when all the employees were
kept working overtime, most of them took to
stimulants. My friend said: 81 foresaw what

How Pere Hyacinthe breaches.
New York Letter.


This is how Pere Hyacinthe preached to
the French Huguenots in New York: cat
times he looked calm and dignifed, utterine
dogmas which needed no argument. At other
times his face flushed crimson, he leaned half
over the pulpit, and his eyes seemed to search
eagerly through his audience. His gestures
were, like those of most Frenchmen, exceed
ingly numerous. His hand was often placed
on his heart, sometimes stretched out nenac-
ingly in front of him. and frequently al
lowed to drop, as though exhausted, to ris
side. A remarkable attitude was attained
when he drew himself up to his full height
raised both hands over his head, and spoke
while looking upward. Another peculiar
motion was that of apparently recoiling
from the pulpit and clutching the side of
that structure close to the stains. After his
lecture Pere Hyacinthe was completely ex
hausted. The amount of nervous energy re-
quired to improvise the address, with its
sequences, had taxed his powers of endur-
ance to q great extent

Total Depravity of the Tame Ostrich
Cor. San Francisco Bulletin.1

lCor. San Francisco Bulletin.1
Ostriches have many peculiarities which
will interest the watcher who keeps far
enough away from the fence to prevent be-
ing kicked. An ostrich is apparently about
the most ill-tempered bird in existence. They
never acquire fondness for any one. They
have no particular preference ordinarily as
to mating. They are always on the lookout
to kick some one, and if the kick has the in
tended effect it is pretty sure to be fatal. A
man can be disemboweled at one kick. The
blow is aimed forward and is accurate. For
this reason the person who pulls the stocking
over the oStrich'S head at the time when the
feathers are to be cut, must be wary and ex-
perienced.
As DIR. Sketchley walked along by the
corrals, of which there are about q bakers
Dozen the Ostriches, with few exceptions,
followed along with an evident desire to get
kick at him. A Cinnamon carrying scythe
along by one of the corrais, was at once an
object of provocation to the ostriches in that

side to side, beat their bodies with their heads
with all their available force, which, from
the sound, seemed to be considered 1t was
such a sound as might come from muffied
drum. Having INDUCED in this outburst for
while, they stalked about with that peculiar
gait, which seemed to be their property in
common only with the camel OF dromedary
then they again laid in the dust and repeated
the drumming operation.
DR.. Sketchley succeeded in catching one by
the neck, but did not hold it. He also put his
hand into the mouth of one to show that it
had no strength in its jaws Their diet is
mainly alfalfa and barley, with cabbage,
turnips and potatoes thrown in as a sort of
ostrich dessert. The diet would alone indicate
the lack of strength in the jaws Before they
reach that elimination of anger which re-
suits in the prostration and drumming, they
emit a loud hiss like a goose, opening the
mouth to such an extent as to look like a let
ter V, lying on one side and stretched very
wide apart. The danger is all from the one
toed feet, with the obviously prodigious
muscle of leg and thigh to propel them.

People in New England eat cold food much

universal diet. Housewives bake weeks
pies at time and use them every meal.
Cold sweet doughnuts and coffee are gen.

used than with u.s. cold bread being eaten in
stead. The staple dishes for dinner are roast
beef, boiled potatoes and squash. Very little

why Woman Throws AwkwardIy.
Clara Bellies Letter

''The absence of adipose tissue" the doctor
said, "reveals the action of her spinal column
beautifully. Observe the articulation of the
top rib with the vertebre as she lifts her arm.
That member shows, now that she uses it in
adjusting a stray lock at the back of her
head, the jointing of the single bone of the
upper arm to the two bones of the forearm.
The ulna has the shortness characteristic of
females; and the reason why she reaches I'D
awkwardly is the same that prevents a
woman from throwing a stone gracefully
the thinness of her scapula and the shortness
of her clavicle. See the movement of her ex.
tensor muscles. Now she shrugs, and you get
an idea of the arrangement of the bones and
muscles in her shoulders. Ali she'd be a rare
subject for dissection"

that the simplest and easiest way OF solving
