It was not positively known Tuesday
night whether any one was drowned in
the dock when Mr.. Lawrence was
knocked into the water or not, al
though q number Of bystanders de-
clared that there was. No effort was
made to recover the body for an hour At
terward, il at all, although there were
suggestions made to send for boat
and drag the water. 1t appears that
the statement Of the bystanders was en-
tirely correct.
Yesterday morning several persons
dragged the dock for the body, and

CHANGES.

Like one who hears with sudden throb of fad
ness
The lingering cadence of an old refrain
Which wakes the echoes of the vanished glad
With tender pain.
So stand 1 now with mingled pain and pleasure
After long absence, at a well-known door,
Which guarded once my darling, my hearts
treasure.
In days of yore
Still bloom the roses with their old-time sweet
Round the dear cottage in my native land;
Trimmed is the hedge with all it's wonted neat
ness;
The old elms stand.
Still slopes the lawn in beautiful graduation,
Like a soft carpet of the richest green;
Still leaps the fountain with its light pulsation
Frightening the scene
Years have not changed it; now as then the
Winds in the distance like a silver stream;
Through the old orchard still the sunbeams
culver
And brightly gleam
All! but no voice of sweetest meditation
Nor ripping laughter greets my listening ear;
All the bright scene but breathes IL desoation,
She is not heren'
mot herel not here!'' the murn2uring elm trees
sigh it,
Her cherished roses mOurnfully replyit
a.. In odors sweet.
Ger the soft lawn the shadows westward creep
Darkly enfoId me at the rose-girt door,
In deeper shadows lies my dear love sleeping,
To wake no more!

Reading Pictures.
Atlantic Constitution.

Can you draw?" asked Judge
| Wright of reporter, as the two sat In
the superior courtroom few days
ago.
Hardly ever" answered the re-
porter.
Draw picture of a woman on the
back of that subpoena, said the jadge,
throwing the document over to the
newspaper man.
I'm not much on drawing the fair
sex, responded the reporter.
Thereupon Judge Wright, took the
subpoena, and with a pencil drew a
lined picture Of a most distressed look
ing female, made little black dots for
her eyes, and arranged a head>dress
that would have shocked a cannibal
The woman's feet looked like roller
skates, and although she was fearful
~ and wonderfully made.
Nov, l want picture Of a doctor, "
said the judge, as he began tracing
lines on the back of another sub
p@na. He made a mans figure and
put high hat on him.
Hold on" observed the reporter.
that mans got four legs"
mo, sir! The thing on this side
that you take for a leg is a walking
stick, and that other is a coat tail.
This three cornered thing you see in
his left haad is a grip sack"
"Ah! 7 see"
The Judge took a third subpoena and
drew murderous looking man en-
gagged in the pastime of knocking a
very docile calf in the head.
What does all that mean?" asked
the reporter Of the urbane judge.
st MEANS" said he, that [ am
going to send these subpenas out by
a colored citizen who can't read. The

to a doctor, and the third goes to a
butcher. The man who IS to deliver

4 GUIDE TO W00ERS.
Valuable Work of Reference Pre-.
pared by n weu-Posted Youth.

A young society man, with more
brains than the general run Of shakers
of the nlmble heel. is preparing a pri-
vate directory for the use of his fellow
toilers In the San Francisco drawing
rooms. It is entitled, "Girls Know,
and How to Interest Them" Looking
over the advance sheets IF this curious
little volume, the San Francisco News
Letter is profoundly affected By the
philosophy its pages evince. An ex-
tract will give an idea of the plan on
which the work is constructed:
LETTIE A.-Read up on flowers. Be
strong on Marechal Mel roses. Dose
her with tulips; anecdotes of early
violets. Bud-destroying frosts highly
acceptable.
MAGGIE Books; novels OF sensa-
ton. Rad up Leavenworth Case"
''House on the March," and "Great
Porter Square Mystery" Hint about
mysterious murders soon to be made
public. Harrow her. Maggie doR't
give a cent for any ore who can't har-
row her. Ghost experience in church
yard always acceptable. Plenty OF
blood and spooks.
SADIE C.-Poetry. Give her Tenny-
son. Compare her to Clare We're de
We're Give her few slanzas of
''Locksley Hall" Goright on MAUD"
and ''Idyls of the King" Stick to the
lyrics Tell her she reminds you of
Elaine, or Vivian, and you wish you
were Merlin.
MAMIE E.-Scandal Don't be afraid
OF going too far. Mamie will stand
most anything. Give it to the widows.
Was cut out once by widow and en-
gagement SPOILED. Say widows ought
to be banished from the society of un-
married people and put on a reserva-
ton. The harder you lean on the
widows the better Mamie will like
you.
ANNIE T. Platonics; Drotherly
love; adherence of Irritation. Layie
on strong. Mourn for sister that
died IN her cradle. Annie will cotton
to you at once. Say you wish you
had sister like her. The odds are
she'll invite you to love her as a sis
ter. Don't refuse invitation to lunch.
Old F.'s claret can't be beat, and
there's always a chance for SMALL
bit of fzz.
The advantages Of this work are sinl-
ply incalculable.

The color and figure of mahogany
are distinctive, andshardly any two
logs are alike. Yet the purchaser who
enters furniture wareroom of to-day
finds all the mahogany chamber sets
and many of the parlor suits, the
tables, the bookcases and bric-a brac
of house furnishing very much of the
same shade. 1t is simply red paint OF
red stains, and the wood used is some.
times cherry, often times birch and
gum wood. A short experience re-
veals the deception. Some years ago
piano manufacturers bought the hand
soonest figured rosewood they could
for piano cases, but a vitiated public
taste demanding darker wood than
rosewood, staining came into use, SC
that many of the cheaper piano cases
of to-day are nothing but maple
stained. The value of rosewood lies
in its figure and color, and these are
ever varying.

THE person who should charge
herself with the duty of keeping home
heaIthful is the woman Of the house,
recently remarked Col. Ludlow in a
lecture delivered in Philadelphia.
''The majority of people who die in
this country are children under !
years of age, and this nigh rate is due
almost entirely to bad food and worse
sanitation. It is the duty OF the
woman of the house to see to the good
sanitation of the dwelling. The me-
cessity should be impressed on women
of studying to enable them to inspect
and put in practice good rules of san
Itation.

living Bees.
fAmerican Agriculturlst. !

Some apiarists practice clipping ore wing
of each queen. Then when a swarm issues
from the hive she can not follow. but crawls
about upon the ground in front OF the hive.
The bee keeper catches, cages ami lays her
aside IN the shade moves the old hive 70 a
new location. and by the time the swarm
has decided to return, because it
he's no queen, ne has nsw
hive similar IN appearance to the old one
upon the old stand and the bees taking il for
their old home enter it, and while they are
going in the queen is allowed to run in with
them. Thus the bees hive themselves with
out being allowed to even cluster. An OBJ
jeciion to this method is that queens are
sometimes lost in the grass. When Swarm
of bees returns ii may enter the wrong hive,
ard If 1t makes 10 mistake IN this direction
it occasionally clusters all over the outside OF
before entering. If the queen is
allowed 10 enter the hive too
