K fsses on Interest.

A father, talking to his careless daughter, said, sI want to speak to you about your mother. It may be that you have noticed a careworn expression upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours; still, it is your duty to chase it away. l want you to get up to morrow morn. ipR and get breakfast, and when your mother comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth
 You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of a mothers kiss the little dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with the rough old world. And then the midnight kiss with which she routed so many bad dreams as she leaned over your restless pillow have all been on interest these long, long years. Of course, she is not so pretty and kisssble as you are; but if you had done your share of the work during the last ten years, the contrast would not be so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours, far more; and yet if you were sick that face would appear more beautiful than an angels, as 1t lowered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort
 and. every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright waveiets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear face. She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. Those rough, hard hands that have done so many necessary things for you will be crossed upon her breast. Those neglected lips that gave you your first baby kiss will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will be open ed in eternity, and then you will appreciate your mother but it will be too late" |"

 were obliged to remain outside the prison

 complaint to make as to his diet or treetment.

 port lately current of his having been put fn
 irons, he said to his son Roger, pointing to
 the good-conduct badge he wore on his arm, 'sI could not wear this and irons too." On Mir. Pearse wishing him many happy returns
 of the day, and expressing a hope that its
 next anniversary would be passed in differ ent place. the claimant said Hear hear I
 hope so too." He was pleased with the in- formation that his eldest son, Roger, had gained the first prize at his school at Rom sey, and his second son, James, having been equally successful in obtaining one for good conduct When asked if he had any objec-
 tions to his sons coming to see him, he said 1.-Two years ago told MT. Guilford Onslow that should not like them to see me in the
 prison dress, but then thought I should
 never live to serve out my sentence. Now that feel well again have no such objec- tion-" He also said that he approved of his
 son Roger writing to the Home Secretary and asking for remission of his sentence the ground that he and his brothers and sis ters were growing up and ought to have a fathers anxious care and supervision. He rejoiced that the cloture bill had been passed, as now Parliament would be able to give l more time to domestic Legislation, and so might reconsider his case. Toward the close ! of the interview the claimant, who desired 1 to be remembered to all those friends who
 had so kindly helped him in his trouble and still stuck to him, told his sons to value their consciences and immortal souls more than wealth, and that although his imprisonment had come through his speaking the truth, he
 never regretted having done so for mo
 ment. He reiterated that he had no fault to find with the prison officials, who discharged disagreeable duty as kindly as they could. As his sons were leaving him he told Roger that well-known firm of solicitors had of fered to compromise the Tichborne case while it was on, but he had refused to be any party to a settlement for his son Rogers sake, the estates being entailed

Cleopatra and Her Nose.


 Pascal says somewhere that the history of | the world would have been different if the ! nose of Cleopatra had been shorter From ! this statement we may gather that Pascal supposed Cleopatra's nose to have been just the right length. Otherwise she would not have enjoyed those social successes which did affect the history of Egypt and of Rome MT. Alma-Tadema has just added his vision of Cleopatra to his collected pictures in the Grosvenor Gallery. The painting is admira- ble, we may almost say of course, and noth- ing can be finer than the reflection of the water of the Alexandrian harbor on a shield of bronze. But we are chiefly concerned with MT. Tadema's idea of Cleopatra. She is dark beauty, with rather bright com plexion, and she leans back luxuriously in her cushions, with pleasant sense that she can sway fthe current of mems blood" and especially of Mark Antony's, whose boat is just approaching her barge. The length of Cleopatra's face in this picture recalls faintIy the very long -nosed efhgies of this lady on medals. The Cleopatra of coins must have won mems hearts by her wit rather than her beauty. Mir. Tadema's is 8 more probable Cleopatra than the good-humored grinning mulatto whom MT. Millais drew to represent MT. Tennyson's Queen with swarthy cheeks and bold black eyes" But we venture the suggestion that the daughter of the Ptole mics, Greek by blood, may have been fair beauty in the style of Becky Sharpe and Blanche Amory. This sort of Cleopatra, all unlike the Cleopatra described in Flaw thorne's Marble Faun," would have the charm of novelty.

Murphy of Albany went to Indiana in 1880, at Hon. w. H. English's personal so- lioitation, as he ayers, to make sps ehes. for the Democratic cause He made twenty-five | speeches, and charged Mr. English $1 900 and expenses. which Mir. English refused to pay. Mir. English answered in court, first, | that he did not engage MT. Murphy; second, that MT. Murphy's speeches were poor stuff of no value; third, that Murphy spoke not for hire, but for his own glory and for the sake of the cause; fourth, that making speeches for pay, with purpose to influence and determine political action of free and in dependent citizens, is immoral and contrary to public policy, wherefore the contract, if there was one ought not to be enforced. The Court took another view and decided for the plaintiff, the defendant, however, receiving permission to amend his answer. If Mr- Murphy has not lied, MT. English does not show to good advantage in this affair
 It has been noted that at the recent con ference of Ohio Republicans the speech es which were the loudest and most frequently applauded were those which counselled no surrender to the liquor saloons. prohibition was not advo  cated, but as the party had undertaken to reg
 ulate the traffic. it was declared to be coward ice to stop until this had been accom- plishsd
 The sentiment appeared to be unanimously in favor of submitting an amendment to the people placing the whole subject in the hands of the LegisIatura. It was plainly intimated also that one cause of Republican defeat last fall was the failure of the party to deal hon estly with the people on the question. There was said to have been an evident design to catch the prohibition vote and at the same time to save the German vote, and it was recommended that whatever stand the party took in the future should be at least an honest

The DscayinR Art or Writing College
From the Harvard Herald.1


 The writing of college songs seems to have become one of the lost arts. With every year the appearance of new songs that have any distinctive college stamp and flavor Is becoming more rare. It is difficult to assign any satisfactory reaeon for this condition of affairs. It cannot be that taste and talent have seriously deteriorated. It is possible indeed that college students have become so much more critical and exacting in their de- mRnds in this kind of music that it is difficult for amateur composers any longer to com mand sufficient spontaneity and self-confi- dence for the production of lively and 'stak- ing" college songs. The most plausible ex- plantation of the change, however, is found in the recent growth and widespread popu. larity of comic opera and similar music of the day. It is suggested that these light and popular melodies are coming to take the place in college life of the older class of distinc- lively college songs. And so, with the rapid abandonment of all the more prominent characteristics of student life that is taking place, we are now to see the decay of the art of writing college songs. However sat- isfactory or however insufficient this expIa- nation may be, it seems to be an undoubted fact that this art is fast disappearing from our rnidst--the art of writing songs with all the old nerve and swing of s.Bingo, or s'Co- caehelunk," at lsast--a fact truly to be re- gretted and melancholy to contemplate
