The Progressive Talker at Progressive
Euchre.

In playing progressive euchre, of
course you do not have the satisfaction
of always meeting with interesting and
scientific partners. But of all of them,
allow me to mention the tidgety, fussy
little woman who plays euchre after this
style: .'Oh, l can't get my cards to-
gether; thanks! Oh, dear, there's our
I've dropped one for I've only four; see
if it is over there by your chair? thanks
how, what shall I do? Is it my playP
Mercy! what's trumps? Diamonds!
why I haven't a red card in my hand.
Oh, do 1 have to follow suit? There I
played the wrong one-but never mind.
Is that ours? Mop Well, if 1 can't fol-
low suit, can't I trump? How stupid!
did / throw away the wrong cardP
Didn't 1 follow suitP Oh, I'm SO sorry;
lever mind. l do wish you had let me
know you had the right bower. It's all
your fault. Mercy! there's the bell, and
we haven't a point" And the next man
undergoes the same experience and gets
the blame of being badly beaten.--St.
Louis Spectator.

An Island With a Gold Mine.

The little island in the Hardanger
ford, known as Bommelon, which two
years ago was an uninhabited and desc
late spot, is now a busy scene of extern
sive gold digging. Numerous English
artisans and Norsk bricklayers and car
penters have for months been actively
engaged in boring and sinking shafts
into the rock, and in preparing houses
and shelter for the men and machinery
that have been drawn hither by the re-
port of the discovery, in 1882, of gold in
the Storhangen mine. This discovery
had been anticipated in 1862 by the find
of a piece of pure gold, which was at
nee deposited in the Neurological Mu-
scum of Chistiania, where ithas since re-
manned apparently unheeded. The mine
is now worked by an English firm, trad
ing under the title of the Oscar Gold Min
ing Company which is worked under
the scientific direction of MI. Murchison.
Considerable amusement seems to have
been created among Norsemen by a
somewhat ambiguous statement, sci
forth in the company's circulars, which
~oracularly that ''the gold
finds at Bommelon are either natures
greatestsuccess or her greatest Illusion

The Fat in the Fire.

Mrs. Miller is a very stout woman.
At a distance che looks like a water
tank at q rsilroad station. She is the
biggest wc<aan in Waco. She is very
sensitive about her corpulence. At a
social gathering she mentioned incident
ally that she had been suffering from
rheumatism, but, thanks to the skill of
DR.. Blister, she was entirely cured of it.
'Dr. Blister is a very popular doc
tor" remarked Frank Cooper.
Il don't think he has a large prac-
tice." said Mrs. Miller.
If you are his patient he is bound to
have a tremendous practice said
Frank.
When Mrs. Miller gives her next So
cial gathering, it is safe to bet that
Frank will shine by his absence. He
will be the most absent man in the
whole town. Mrs. Miller is so mad
about it that she is falling off at the
rate of twenty pounds a day.-Teres

The Hat.

One of the church-wardens was OBJ
served to cast uneasy glances toward an
individual wearing a sailor jacket and
cap of a seafaring and jaunty appear
ance, which latter surmounted a clean
shaven face and closely cut hair. After
a little while he approached the sailor
laddie and whispered audibly:
Cant you take off your hat? Is
there any reason why you can't take off
your hatp"
By the discounted look of the ques-
toner as he returned to his seat, and
the appearance of the rest of the cos
tune as the wearer of the hat walked
out of church at the conclusion of the
service, it was evident that the whisper
ed reply was, Il am a girlH'-Youth's

The first symptoms of bodily ailments

Try it whenever you don't feel
exactly well. Try it when things

MANS WHITE WORLD

At our window on the hill,
Sometimes talking, sometimes still,
Sat my little girl and /,
Looking on the wintry sky;
While the breath of frosty air
Swung the naples brown and bare,
And across the valley rolled
All the moonlight's wealth of COLA
Touching with \ ~wondrous glow
Hill and valley clad in snow.
Winters two and summers three,
Wise a baby could not be,
SO she whispered there that night:
What makes all the world so white2
of the moOnlights and the cold
And the snowy world l told:
Now the world seems white to you,
Little Nan with heart SO true,
And the rays of wonder throw
Only glory on the
Yet, beyond those mountains tall
Long black shadows eastward fall,
When my darling lies asleep
Der the world t: pse shadows creep.
Soon enough the gold is lost
In the shadow n the frost.
But your fathers arms divide
Warmth within from cold outside.
Long we can not linger still
At II window on the hill;
For your baby footsteps go
Soon enough across the snow.
BY what trouble, at what cost,
Shall your own white world be lost?
Trouble comes-oh, come it will
In some valley deep and chill;
By what mountain, in what spot
1t shall meet you, know / not;
By what shadows overcast
Shall the glory go at last.
When the shadows eastward fall:-
Father, father" you may call;
When the bitter tears shall Iii
You may call n call in vain.
In your trouble. if l hear,
shall come and help you, dear;
Though my lips be sflent-though
Underneath the cruel snow;
Though in vain you call to me
Where yonr straying feet may be-.
Yet your Father watches still
At His window, on His hill;
Warmth within from cold outside
Shall His love indeed provide.

NOT MUCH OF A CRISIS.

= There is small evidence at hand to show
that the President and his Cabinet are at
loggerheads on the Civil-Service Reform
question, or that between the Scylla of Mug
wumpism and the Charybdis of the spoils
system the Administration is parting
seams and going to wreck. All this talk
about serious disagreements and quarrels,
Mr.. Cleveland pulling one way, Mr.. Man
ming another, Mr.. Villas another, Mr.. Lamar
still another, and Mr.. Garlandlofon a tap
gent of his own, and the whole Executive
family in turmoil, is strongly open to the
suspicion of being unmitigated nonsense.
The Civil-Servce Reform law is un-
questionably an embarrassment to the
politicians. The reform, of which the
original idea was simply the suppression
of old machine methods, has spread out,
under the statute, to disagreeable
breadth. In short, it is q reform which
has got away with the reformers, but
being made into law it will have to DO
got along with. 1t is, probably, no more
obnoxious to Democrats than it would
be to Republicans were the latter in
power instead of the former. The Demo
Gratis were the more unfortunate, how
ever, in being first to get caught in q
trap of their own devising.
There are those who believe that the
law is the rock on which the Democratic
party will split, but THE CRITIC cannot
conceive such a catastrophe as imminent.
Even if the Democratic House next winter
should undertake to repeal the law, or
emasculate it, or starve it to death, it
doesn't follow that the party will break up
in consequence. If Mr.. Cleveland gives
the country a good administration his
party will hold together; and the little
clashes and conflicts that occur now and
then about this clerks appointment OIL
that clerks removal, while furnishing the
editors and correspondents with material
for sharply favored paragraphs, are
scarcely to be taken as signs of an earth.
