MARCH OF THE CHILDREN.

List TO the sound of the drumming!
Gayly the children are coming!
Sweet as the smile of q fairy;
Fresh as the blossoms they carry;
Pride of the parents who love them;
Pure as the azure above them;
Free as the winds that caress them:
Bright as the sunbeams that bless them
List to the voice-echoes ringlngi
Sweeter than birds they are singing;
Thoughts that to virtue invite them
Wed unto airs that delight them;
Truths that their future will cherish.
Soul-planted. never to perishl
Only to senses completer
Heavens choicest music were sweeter
Virtue. unconscious and pretty,
Walks through the streets of the city;
See the gay bannerets flying!
Notices and titles undying;
Truths. dearly hAllowed and oldeu.
Braided In strands that are golden;
Words for the spirits desiring;
Sentences sweetly inspiring.

Fences.

A Maine farmer says of fences: "If
had my way / wouldn't have fence on
the farm. In the first place, there are
over GA, 900 farmers in Maine. Now
their farms have in the aggregate oven
42,O0O,000 rods of fences, or
rising $4,000 miles. This is out
side ornamental fences, and does not
include some 1900 miles or more of rail
road fencing. There are IL, 900 rods OF
highway fences, 100000 rods of par
tition fences, and some $1,000, 900 rods
of division fences. Estimating the cost
of these fences at 81 per rod. and that
would, think. be a fair estimate, ana
the total cost of fences in Maine is over
S42, zoo, 600. This is nearly as much
as all the farms and their buildings are
worth. 1t is more than twice and
half the value of all our live stock. and
nearly as much as the entire capital Of
the State invested in manufactures"

TRICYCLES.
Especially Adopted For Women - A
Healthy Amusement

Especially Adopted For Women A

Although tricycles have been ridden

deserves to do. Lawn-tenn S, into

spite the numerous cases in which in.
jury has resulted, and one explanation
of this may be that whereas good
racquet costs at most 81. yet good tri-
cycle can not be obtained under twenty
times the sum. and this item, to very
many in these hard times is a consid-
erat on. Another cause is the excess
We d sfavor with which large section
of society still regards the exercise To
hear the OPP mons of some people. it
would appear to be almost criminal for
a girl to appear on one of '.those We
locipedeS." and the most unfOunded
charges are trumped up. For example.
one wise person asserts it I'M ures the
spine. In very many cases. persons
suffering from spinal affections have
been able to ride tricycles when the jar
of a carriage was insnpportable. and,
moreover. have derived great benefit
from it.
Another object on Is that tricycling
woman must be fast" The reason
why is not very clear. Tenn s-plavers
are not considered so. neither are all
who ride on horseback. The reason
for this opinion must e in the fact that
some fast" girls have been very ready
to adopt this mode of travelling. being
rapid; and so their steady sters who
adopted the exercise for the good of
health are given brevet rank as such.
Another objection much urged most
cordially indorse. They are all very
we'll in the country. but not in tho
streets of the city. The advantageof
tricycle. consists in the long country
rides in quiet lanes. inaccessible to the
walker. A trip of twenty OF thirty
miles-an impOssibility to the walker
IS mere bagatelle to tire tricyclist.
Luggage to limited extent can be
fastened behind. which would be sim
plv intolerable if carried.
The foregoing are some of the more
common objections to the use of the

Cheap But Valuable Advice.

1t is not easy for American women
to resist the influence of pretty things.
and the only way is not to pay much
attention to mere novelties of dress
and fashion, but adhere to certain fixed
and well defined rules. By good
materials, avoid. cheap trimmings,
select always such cOlors as will 90
well together, and usually have them
dark. Never wear your best on a
secondary occasion. or when it is like
ly To be subject TO severe wear and
tear. Have best dresses cut or made
by best dreSs-maker, and employ your
own efforts on your house dresses and
washable materials. Use best black
kid gloves, ecru or beige tints. They
wear better than fancy colOrs, and the
black are better made and can be worn
with all dresses. Never buy cheap
gloves or cheap hosiery-they are a
deluSion and snare. Always have a
plain black walking dress and hand
some black dress, and depend upon cut
and material more than upon ornamen-
tation. If you can embroider yourself
a dress, you can make a thing of
beauty with but little cost; but other
wise content yourself with the neat
ness that is the best evidence of refined
taste. Ladies Home Journal.

GLASS CLOTH.
1t Fails to Become a Popular Fabric at
Twenty Dollars a Yard.

1t Fails to Become q Popular Fabric a,
Twenty Dollars a Yard.
Several years ago quite furore was
created by the announcement that a
Pittsburgh glass manufacturer had dis.
covered method of spinning glass SO
fine and pliable that it could be woven
into dresses. outside wraps and gar.
ments of all kinds. The statement was
received with incredulity, and lead
ing foreign scientific journal, which
published the statement of the discov-
cry, felt called upon to apologize to its
readers for having endeayored to dupe
them. Several months later the manu-
fscturers of the article caused the jour-
nal to acknowledge the receipt of a
piece of the wonderful cloth. The
eagerness TO see the material was I'M
bounded for months and letters by the
hundreds, from every cline, were re-
ceived inquiring the cost of the novelty.
The reply, twenty dollars per yard,
never brought back any answer and
put an effectual quietus on the anxious
correspondent. FANNY Davenport
visited the factory in person and viewed
the material. Emma Abbott placed a
shawl made out of the cloth on her
shoulders at the company's office, anG
talked of purchasing it when she pre-
sented her new opera, but that opera
has never been presented or else shs
has changed her mind. p. I. Barnum
brought the late Tom Thumb and his
wife to the works and inquired the cost
of preparing them with an outfit Of
glass. The veteran shawman, how
ever, was not disposed to effect pur-
chase. For months persons visited the
factory by the hundreds. A sample Of
the glass was sent to q popular dry
goods store in New York for inspec-
ton. 1t was returned with the state
ment that the rush of people to see the
cloth retarded business. Genius had
tTiumphed. but only partially. II Uas
