Irish Love Songs.
Exchange.


Without an exception, they are per-
vaded by a spirit which, so far as we
know, we could not find in any English
l0ve-songs whatever-a spirit of graceful
and, to our minds, charming playfulness,
so expressed that you never doubt for
moment that the light, sometimes even
derisive, words cover an affectiOnateness
not passion, mind-so deep that but
for the laugh it might give way in tears.
English poets have many moods in their
love-songs, but not, we think, exactly this
one--nOt this union of sincere feeling,
sometimes even Of wOrshiping feeling
with an inner sense Of a certain comedy
in the situation, as if the poet would not
suffer himself to be quite serious. We
could produce from English collections
specimens burning with passion, alive
with worship, saturated with affection ate
ness, full of longing, of rapture, or that
melancholy "want," that sense Of some
thing missing and never to be replaced,
which is the distinctive note of the Eng
lish poetry Of love. But for the special
tone OF these Irish songs, this love-making
by man whoris dancing the while, yet in
dancing is full of the wish to win his
love, and fearful lest in his highest jumps
he should ever cease to seem as admiring
as he feels, we should, we fear, in English
poetry look IN vain.

Tne Power Of the Red Flag.


An auction sale has strange but ire
sistible fascination for the average wO-
man. Only the female suffragist Of long
experience can resist the attractive power
of a red flag hung out in front OF resi-
dence. 1t may be ''washing day." and
she may have sternly refused to 60 in town
on such day of manifold duties, even to
follow the pleasing pursuit of shopping.
But the auction viii lure her from all
household cares. 1t doesn't matter at all
whether the furniture and carpets and
s'fixingsv to be sold are what the average
woman of a family really needs, IN whole
or in part. She goes to see, catches the
infection of the hour, waits breathlessly
upon the ssquar-quar-quar0 cry OF the
auctiOneer for awhile and then joins reck-
lessly in the bidding. The average wo-
man generally buys some damaged piece
of bric-a-brac at twice its value when
new. and is rewarded by contemptuous
remarks concerning ssbroken back by
her unappreciatiYe husband. But she
doesn't care. She rests in the calm conf
dence of having bought a bargain. And
the man of the house is fortunate If the
good wife has not sold off all his old
clothes to a ragman in order to satisfy her
craving to ssbuy largely'' at the auction
sale and fill the abode Of welded bliss
with a heterogeneous collection OF second
hand articles, summed up most concisely.

A Thrifty New-srade widower.

An eccentric character living in West
ern Massachusetts had the misfortune to
lose his wife, and all arrangements were
made for interring the worthy Iady's re-
mans with fitting solemnity. When the
hour for the ceremony arrived, however,
the bereaved husband was nowhere to be
found, and CONSERVATION fell upon the
funeral guests as the minutes passed with
out his appearing. Just as suspense was
becoming unbearable the widower came
striding in from the back yard, putting as
if from violent eXertioD, his clothes COW
cred with mud and his shirt sleeves rolled
to the elbow. sWell. now," he exclaimed
in loud tone, as he came upon the silent
company awaiting him, sis everything all
ready? l thought as it was kind of a
broken day I'd take time by the forelock
and clean out the well. won't be more'n
two jiffies fixin' up, and then If you hurry

grave full as quick IS if I'd been sittin'

Watch and the Minister.
Youths, Companion.


A student from Dartmouth spent the
long winter vacation in teaching on Cape
Cod. The minister kindly furnished him
with board, and as he mad charming
wife and a cosy home, our school teacher
declared that he had but one trial and that
was on the Sabbath.
The minister's pew was a large square
one, very near the pulpit and exposed to a
raking fire of eyes.
Mr.. TYLER, the minister, owned a large
dog named w atch, and Watch was bent
on going to church with Mrs. Tyler. She
in her turn was much opposed to his going,
fearing that he might excite the mirth of
the children.
Every Sunday a series of maneuyres
took place between the two, in which
Watch often proved himself the keenest.
Sometimes he slipped away very early,
and Mrs. Tyler, after having searched for
him to shut him up, would go to church
and find Watch seated in the family pew,
looking very grave and decorous, but evil
IDENTIFY aware that it was too late now to
turn him out.
Sometimes he would hide himself until
the family had all started for church, and
would then follow the footsteps of some
tardy wOrshiper who tiptoed in during
PRAYERS with creaking boots, and then
didn't Watch know that Mrs. Tyler would
open the pew door in haste to prevent his
whining for admission!
When Mr.. Tyler became earnest in his
appeals, he often repeated the same word
with ringing emphasis and a blow on
the desk cushion that startled the sleepers
in the pews.
One day he thus shouted out, quoting
the well-knOWn text, watch! Watchl!
Watch, l say!!r' When rustic, rustic,
bounced! came mis- big dog almost into his
very arms.
You may be sure the boys all took occa-
sion to relieve their pent-up restlessness
by one uproariOus laugh before their as
tonished parents had time to trown them
into silence.
Honest Watch had been sitting with his
eyes fixed, as usual, on the minister. AT
the first mention of his name up went his
ears and his eyes kindled; at the third he
obeyed and flew completely over pew rail
and pulpit door, leaps that did equal honor
70 his muscular powers and his desire to
obey. After such a strict Interpretation
of the letter, rather than the spirit, Watch
was effectually forbidden church-going.

The Girls and Tight Laclng.

CEfFE hette IL CalctAltalt enquirer
A girl who has just returned from Lon
dOa tells me that. in the Health EXhibi-
ton there, one of the exhibits was meant
to depict the horrors of tight lacing. A
waxen figure was subjected, for the pur-
pose of divulging the secrets Of the ladies'
torture chamber, to a compression TO the
girth which a woman may with proper
self-respect measure around the waist.
The sufferings Of the dummy, inaudible,
save for the creaking of the machinery,
which in the fOrcible compression OF the
waist might well be mistaken for groans,
were quite terrible in their realism, but
the female spectators laughed instead OF
being instructed. The fact is that the
old curmudgeOns who take cOrsets as
a text for sermons against rs are left very
far behind. Injuri0uslY tight squeezing
of the waist is rare, indeed, nowadays.
''Fhe coming man and WOmaD,N says
Die Lewis, 'Will be Just as large at the
waist as at any other part of the body"
What an old fool! Did he ever see a
Fiji Island womans / have. She had
never been compressed by so much as
calico wrapper, and yet her waist had a
goOdly taper to it. Pretty soon Lewis will
be demanding legs as big at the ankles as
at the calves. And when that sameness
Of outline is produced by bigness Of ankle
rather than smallness of calf, hope he
viii be satisfied, for surely the owner
won't.

Welded Among Tombstones.

One day last week a Denver preacher
received notice to repair at once to Bill's
marble yard, at the corner of ArapahOe
and Seventeenth streets. Instead of a
funeral he found a marriage service in
waiting. The bride and groom We're there
with the witnesses, and the ceremony was
performed at once. There was naturally
a little curiosity about the affairs, and in
quiry elected the main facts. The couple
had not seen each other for seventeen
years until few days before their mar
riage. They knew and loved each other in
the East, but the fates were against their
union. The man came West and married
another lady, who is now dead. His first
love came to Colorado recently, and was
reclaimed. Directly after the ceremony
was over the groom gave an order for a
tombstone to be placed at the head Of his
first Wife's grave.

of the United States has been drained

A Bad Character.

In the fall of 1882 man named
Frank Anderson, in resisting arrest,
shot and severely wounded the sheriff
at Superior, Wis, and also a banker
of the same place who endeavor to as
sist the officer. Anderson then escaped
into the woods. Yesterday Officer
Quinlan learned that Anderson was
in the city to secure his trunk, which
he had left at the Hanson house on
Third street. He at once informed
detective Hoy. The two repaired to
the house indicated, and Officer Quin-
Ian informed Anderson that he was
under arrest, when the latter remark
ed: "You can't do that" and level
ed a French revolver on Quinlan,
when he was grappled by both officers
and the revolver secured. The pris-
oner then attempted to use a knife,
but he was again disarmed and taken
to the lookup. The sheriff at Supe-
rior was notified of the arrest later in
evening, and will probably reach Min
neapolis to-day or tomorrow. Ander-
son Is said to be desperate character
and those acquainted with him felt
confident that officers would be maim-
ed or killed whenever an attempt was
made to arrest him.
Sheriff Thompson went Tuesday and
identified his man and brought him
to Superior, arriving here Wednesday
evening. The banker alluded to in
the above clipping from the Pioneer
Press, is Mr.. S. E. Tubbs, our present
post master, but at the time of the
shooting was acting cashier of the
First National Bank of Superior, in
the absence of Mr. Alexander. The
prisoner is evidently hard customer
and quick to use the revolver or knife.
He will be first tried for shooting the
sheriff, which will no doubt be suffi-
cient to send him over the road for a
term of years.

A correspondent writes to the Soion-
tifc american; In my business it is
sometimes necessary to ascertain the
number of gallons in square tanks or
cisterns, and in, circular. What do
you consider a convenient rule for
determination of contents in gallons ?
And what species of gallon is under.
stoods | am confused by certain
tables in my possession, which state
that "the wine gallon must contain
231 cubic inches" and in another place
a gallon is said to contain "27715 cubic
inches" although the bushel in the
same table is put at "2150.42 cubic
inches" The following answer is
given: The United States legal gallon
contains 23l cubic inches. To com,
pute contents in gallons of round
tanks: Square diameter in feet,
multiply by 0.7S55, and again by the
depth in feet, multiply by 7.4S, this
latter being the number of gallons in
one cubic foot. For tanks of square
or rectangular outline, multiply to-
gether tie length in feet Of both sides,
and multiply result by depth of tank
in feet, and again, as above, by 7,4S.
