The Ant and the Lion.

The Ant having heard that the Lion
had killed Hunter and picked his
Bones, set out and journeyed through
the Forest until she met the King of
Beasts. After stating what she had
heard the Ant continued:
'It fills me with Sadness and Sorrow
to know that of you. shall proceed to
make your Future conduct my Special
Mission"
At the Desire of the Ant the Lion ac-
companied her Home. The young Ants
annoyed him and he killed them by the
score The Beetles, who were Friends
of the Ants, came on visit to be
snapped up. Wishing to see how the
Ant Hill was constructed, the Lion in
one moment made wreck of the Labor
of Weeks. Finally, when the Philan-
thropic Ant had several times Narrowly
escaped with her Life she felt to ex.
claim:
''Begone with you back to your
Haunts! As Wicked Lion you NAV
now and then Slay Hunter, but as a
Reformed Beast you will certainly be

The italian Belle.

In lettering through italian towns
nothing strikes the youthful stranger
more than the extraordinary grace and
beauty of the women, and he naturally
desires to express his gratitude to those
who have lent a new loveliness to life.
In the North this is easy enough. ''How
beautiful she is!' echoes wherever
small feet fall lightly on the pavement
of any city from Venice to Florence,
and now even to Rome. Dainty little
ears hear the words not unkindly, and
soft, sweet voices will sometimes argue
not quite kindly as to whom they were
intended for. But in Naples we must
be silent and discreet. The noblemen
have revolvers and the lazzaroni long
knives hidden away somewhere out of
sight of the police, but yet within easy
reach. Let the young man be careful
and, if he must give vent to an admi-
ration too passionate to be silenced, let
him draw his right hand down his face
from the cheekbones to the chin. That
means 30. how lovely she isr' and
the slower the movement is, so long as
it is clearly perceptible, the more deep
and lasting is the impression supposed
to be indicated. Every woman, be she
peeress or peasant, understands the
sign. and will go home the happier for
having seen it. Whether it was of yore
symbol of worship for the old Etrus-
cans. we can not tell. It's certainly one
of the most sincere forms of alteration
that modern Naples knows.-SatWrdGy

THE JUNE CRICKET.

In the Madison Square Park.
Tented in the short green grass,
While the moon shone in the sky
A cricket, close to those who pass,
Uttered the old familiar cry.
Little needed he the noise
OF the crowded city street,
But blew n s flute with strident voice
Unmndful of the tramp of feet.
Hundreds briskly hurry by,
ListlesS to the song they pass
No policeman stops his cry,
Or orders him. keep off the'grass!"
Iwho note the steady tune
That he with such relish plays,
Wonder how this note of June
Came to take the city ways.
Far from native haunts withdrawn,
He sings the old song at my feet
The prelude of country lawn
Sa1utes the curious city street.
Rustic scenes are not at hand,
Norippling rivulet wanderS near:
Hard it is to understand
This voice in such an atmosphere.
Brave little cricket, pipe away;
Let your blitheness melt in songl
TITS the cheeriest roundelay;
I shall thank you for it long.
Torn from spring-time, robbed of Juno,
Shutup to the city street,
Much thank you for your tune
Uttered from this strange retreat.

How q Connecticut Manufactures Sue
ceeded with Imported Cutters.
About four years ago Colonel Frary,
President of the Bridgeport Cutlery
Company, while on tour through Eu-
rope, visited many of the cutlery estab-
lishments in Germany, Hamburg and
England. The manufacture of razors
being in primitive state in this coun-
try, he decided that he could do no bet
ter than to bring over some of the work.
men to the United States. The work
men in Sheffield, England, were as q
rule, members of the trades unions,
and Colonel Frary had considerable diff
ficulty in engaging the men whom he
wanted. A few months later be had
the satisfaction of seeing forty of them
with their families sailing for this coun-
try, accompanied by the secretary OF
the trade union. In Germany and
Hamburg he engaged sixty men, and at
once shipped them and their families to
this country. Separate rooms were fit
ted up for the newly-arrived razor
makers in the shops at Bridgeport, the
Germans being in one part Of the works
and the English in another.
Colonel Frary said: II had great
deal OF trouble with my men at first. /
did not have nearly as much trouble
with the Germans as with the English.
The latter demanded a separate work
room apart from all the other workmen
in the factory. If one of the men in my
employ wanted to enter the room while
thev were at work, they would throw
down their tools and would not resume
their labors until the visitor had closed
the door behind him. was the only
man in the entire shop whom they would
let into the room without stopping
work. A peculiar feature about them
was that they would not work aftel

spent, which was usually about Tues

Of speech. One day he caught two Of

they were horribly mangled. To the

him, he exclaimed: ''By the great and

ago, and he has not spoken since. An.

most intricate problems are solved by
him in the fractions of a minute. The
boy believes that his head is filled with

later the greater part of the family will be
ensnared in the tolls Of the monster.
The use of morphia not only effects the
physical powers, but blunts the moral pre-
ceptions. In confirmation of this we need only
quote the remark of physician who said he
would not believe the oath of man or wo-
man whom he knew habitually used NOR
phia.
The alarming increase of insanity, suicide
and kindred evils is due to the increasing
use of marphia and like narcotics.
The extent Of this evil is only known to
druggists, for those who are addicted to the
habit use great precautions to keep it Sc
cret.
What can be done to check the evil, is
question that will soon force itself upon pub
lie attention. In the meantime tho pres
and pulpit should cry aloud and warn tn,
people against using the drug, under, an,
circumstances, except when ordered by
physician.

in yachting contests.
out of His Sphere.

Much fine writing has been spent upon
woman and her duties. Many men have
had many minds about her proper place, and
as to what would be the consequence if she
stepped "out of her sphere. But so far
nothing has been said, as far as l know,
about man when he does the same thing.
Yet that is even worse. The small world
called home is never SO completely disorgau-
lied as when he, in his ignorance and CON
ceits, forgets his speciality, whether that be
the writing of sermons or the selling of
wool, and maunders about the house giving
insane directions to the cook, ordering pud-
dipgs which would turn out sweet stews,
quarrelling with the nurse-maid about
baby's nap, and overseeing his wife's dress
maker in the delicate operation of hOunciug
Swiss muslin. A woman on the rostrum is
bad; man in the kitchen is worse. A wo.
man daubed with ink is dreadful; man
daubed with flour is hideous. For heavens
sake, il man must take that dreadful long
day at home, let him connne himself to such
innocent amusements as lying on sofas that
need busting, opening the windows to let in
the flies, smoking every where and heaping
burnt matches and cigar ashes ON the piano.
These things woman can pardon, but q
man who desires to become chief cook and
bottle-washer deserves to have dishclotl
pinned to his coat, and is utterly unpardon
able.-''Mary Kyle Dallas"
