Wit and Eloquence.

/ Where the travefe now encounters
one beggar in Ireland, fifty years ago
he would have met with fifty. The
towns and villages swarmed with them.
A tourist in those days was alternately
moved to tears by sights OF misery, and
to laughter by bursts Of genuine wit.
The wit was mixed with blarney which
so delicately fattered, that oflense was
out of the question. Mr.. 5. G. Hall il
lustrates the perfection with which an
Irish beggar used what we Americans
call .soft-sawder, by an incident that
happened while he was visiting Maria
.Edgeworth, the popular Irish writer.
He was driving with her one day, and
the carriage, as soon as it stopped, was
surrounded by beggars.
sYou know / never give you any
thing she said to one, who was plead
ing for a gift. As quick as a flash
came the answer
30, the Lord forgive We, Miss Edge
worth! that's the first lie We liver told.
"Good luck to your ladyship's happy
face this morning. said another of the
group. ..Sure you'll lave the light
heart in me bosom before ye go?''
20, then look at the poor who can't
look at you, my lady" pleaded q blind
man; .sthe ddrk man that can't see if
your beauty is like your sweet voice. y
20, the blessing of the WILDLY and
five small children, that's waiting for
your honor's bounty, be wild YOU on
the road!'' called out mother to MIR.
Hall, as she led forth her fatherless
children.
30, help the poor craythur that's got
no children to show, yer honor!'
shouted another woman; ''they'rc down
in the sickness and the man that owns
them at sea.
won't your ladyship buy dying
woman's prayers-chapepn moaned .
sick female.
They're keeping me back from the
penny you're going to give me, lady
DEAR" walled another, on the outskirts
of the crowd;7 "because I'm wake in
myself, and my hearts broke with the
hunger"

Little spInners and Viewers.

Did YOU know that all the silk in the
world is made by very little worms9
These creatures have machine for
spinning it. They wind the silk, too,
as well as spin it. The curious cocoons
the worms make are wound with the
silk. Men take them to factories,
where they are unwound and made into
the beautiful silks you and your mother
wear.
The spider is also spinner His
thread is much finer than the silk
worms. 1t is made up Of a great many
threads, just like rope Of many
strands. This is the SPIDERS rope, that
he walks on. He often swings on it,
too, to see how strong it is. Did you
ever see spider drop from some high
placer How his spinning-machine must
work!
The wasp makes his paper nest out Of
fibers Of wood. He picks them off with
his strange little teeth, given him for
the purpose, and gathers them into
neat bundle. ~
When he has enough, he makes them
into soft pulp in some strange way.
This pulp Is very much like that used
by men in making our paper. Very
likely the wasps taught them how, be-.
cause they are the Oldest paper-makcrs
in the world. W
This pulp he weaves into the paper
that forms his nest You must look for
one, and see how much it is like the
common brown paper we use TO wrap
bundles in. The wasps work together,
so that it takes but very little time to
build nest Our Little Ones.

In the Boston Globe appears his
tory of the Harvard annex, which
shows that in spite of popular prejudice
women are slowly but surely gaining a
footing in Harvard University. The
movement was begun several years ago
by the institution of evening readings
in the university, which were free to
members of both sexes. Then an en-
thusiastie young lady took up regular
classical course under one of the pro-
fessors, thereby showing what women
could do.
"A Judge in ST. Louis has dis
charged master Of public school
who was prosecuted for whipping u
boy after milder punishment had been
of no avail. The Court found that, in
order to preserve discipline, the teacher
must determine the necessity, the ma
ture and extent of punishment, his acts,
like those of a parent, being subject to
judicial review. The Judge also said:
"Four years experience in the admin
istration of criminal law convinces me
that the boys who become criminals are
boys who don't get whipped; and when
it is remembered that large per cent
age Of the bolder crimes known to the
law is committed by youths ranging in
age from fourteen to twenty years, the
question arises, Is it better to whip first
or iimprison afterward?'--6. Louis

SOMEBODY'S SECRET

Went down where the golden-rods grow;
he told me a beautiful secret,
That nobody ever viii know;
For I'll keep it we'll -
never will tell
The secret he whispered so low.
he told the sweet story so softly,
1t did not cen waken a bird;
The katydids kept such chatter,
do not think they could have neard
But they'd never tell
know very well,
No, not If they knew every word.
The moon and the stars heard the secret,
know by the smile Chat they wore;
They winked at each other 50 slyly,
I'm sure they had heard it before;
But they'llnever tell,
/ know very well;
They've heard 1t too often before.
For, It's said the story's an old one;
Byttlldt will never confess;
Ii old, 1T keeps up with the fashion,
And oftentimes wears a new dress;
And III keep it we'll
