Of widows in the woman's suffrage

giving it to II widow, especially with
Il family. If she has property, she
needs the ballot to project it. II she

There lives in Pawtucket man
whose whole existence seems to be con-
Quoted similar to piece of machinery.
His movements and transactions are
always ION time;" in fact, his great
hobby is time. "Be on time and save
time" is his motto. AT the same hour
every morning he gets out of bed. A
few seconds later his right boot is on
and then his left, breakfast is finished
in separate time, ard he is seen at his
place of business just at the stroke of
7. He is constantly enlarging on the
immense quantity Of time that is
wasted and thrown away by every
man and woman every hour. He illus
trated his hobby the other day in a
rather amusing and indisputable man
ner. A friend presented him with a
very Gne-looking cat. Calling the
next day, he found the cat without
any tail, the tail being cut off as close
to the body as could be without cut
ting the tail off behind the cats ears.
When asked why he had done this, he
remarked: 81 have to let this cat in
and out Of this store good many
times Il day. Now, if that cat had a
long tail, don't you see l would have
to lose so much time waiting for the
tail to go out and in, whereas now |
have only to wait for the cat A tail
is of no earthly use to cat, and es-
nccally to this cat, so you will see
have the cat just the same, and only
the time in letting the cat in and out,
thus saving all that time that would
be lost in letting the tail in and out"

Better than Gold,

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles thousand fold,
Is u healthy body and mind at ense
And simple pleasures that always please
heart that can feel for anorher's woe,
With sympathies large enough TO enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better thnn gold is conscience clear,
Though toing for bread in IN humble sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the usts and cares Of wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn md ennOble poor mans cot,
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the genu ne tests OF a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
Ofthe sons of toll when the nbors close,
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep
Bring sleeping draughts on the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
The toiler simple opate deems
A shorter route TO the land OF dreams.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That in the realm ofbooks can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore,
The sage's loro and the poets lay,
The glories OF empires passed away;
The worlds lr at drctm will thus UNFOLD
And yield pleasure better tImn gold.
Better than gold is peaceful homo
Where all the fircside charlc cri come,
The shrine Of love, the heavcn Of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife.
However humble the home may he,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens dcc:ec,
The blessings that never were bought or so.d
And center there are better than gold.

How Ono Novel was Written.


Willie Collins writes most of his
novels with his own hand, but now
and then rheumatic gout gives him
such pain that he cannot hold pen,
and then he employs an amanuensis.
The greater part of "The Moonstone"
was dictated, and Mr.. Collins says it
is the only one of his works which he
has never read. The recollection of
the agony he suffered while debating
it deters him. "For a long time,
while that book was writing" he says,
Ihad the utmost difficulty in getting
an amanuensis who would go on with
his work without interrupting himself
to sympathize with me. lam much
like a beast in many ways--if l am in
pain, I must howl and, as lay in the
bed in the corner yonder, I would Of
ten break forth in ayell of anguish.
Then my amanuensis would urge me
to compose myself and not to write
any more. Between the paragraphs
| would go along nicely enough, hav-
ing in my mind just what l wanted to
say, and these Interruptions would
drive mad. Finally young girl, not
more than seventeen, offered to help
me, and l consented that she should,
in case she was sure she could let me
howl and cry out in my pain while she
kept her place at the table. She did
it, too, and "The Moonstone' finally
came to an end. But | never read it
never"
