The Difference.

When we would number the brief years
OF some sweet laughing child,
Finding them all unstained with tears,
Unvexed by sorrows Wild
We crown her brow with roses gay,
'Her summers are but ten" We say.
But counting up the sadden.d years
OF pilgrim old and gray,
In view Of trials, tolls and fears
Which he has known, we say,
(And such is aye the speech OF men,,
ellis winters arc threescore and ton."

In a recent lecture DR.. P. H. Car
penter, of Eton College, England,
mentioned the case of Greenland as an
illustration of the manner in which
the earth's history is read from fossils,
those remains of by-gone life which in
the middle ages were regarded as
sports of nature Fossils of four
climates, all warmer than the present
icy one, are found in that country
Remains of the oak and the maple tell
us that the climate was once very
similar to that of England to-day, and
the coal, Spund lower down, shows
that something approaching tropical
heat prevailed at an carrier period.
The fossils of certain sea creatures
appear on the land, and that Greenland
once lay beneath the sea and that its
water was temperate. while the coral,
obtained still lower down, must have
grown when the waters were still
warmer.

The oor Collection.

There are. says Hamerton, in Longman's
Magazine, times of stagnation in the picture
trade which weigh so heavily On all but the
most famous artists that those who have
BEEN in the. habit of making studies and
drawings will part with them for very low
prices. 1t may seem that it is taking a
mean advantage to purchase under such
circumstances, but after full consideration
of the morality of the matter we may feel
assured that it is right. If the painter sells,
the reason is that he finds an advantage in
doing so, the advantage generally being that
he gains time for a work of more impor-
lance, and so far from looking upon the
poor collector as a sort of thief he is more
likely to welcome him secretly as de-
liverer. Nobody who is not intimately &C
quainted with these matters can have an
idea of the extreme smallness of the gains
of artists without celebrity when the COM
merce of art is in thoroughly depressed
condition. An artist of sufficient ability to
exhibit at the Royrl academy told me that
last year he had only earned Is guineas by
the sale of few water colors. A lady,
also an exhibitor at the Royal academy,
reckoned her earnings one year at EDO. A
regular exhibitor at the French salon told
me that his years income for the year 1888
was e2S, but last year lucky sale had
doubled it. fourth remained nominally
painter, but in reality was earning living
by picture-cleaning. Does any one imagine
that it would have been mean or unkind to
90 frankly 10 one of these artists and say:
Il appreciate your work, but cannot afford
to give much. Let me have two or three
studies for few pounds?"

used. The Art Amateur thus clearly describes
the method of procedures: 1.-THE design is
either stitched or traced On velvet it is
best to use perforated pattern and run
brush charged with Chinese white lightly
over the holes, thus securing the outline. In
painting use special lacquered pen ester
BROOKS No. p. The color is placed upon the
point of the pen, which is held quite fiat. Be
ginning with I've outline shoct, firm strokes
are made from the outer edge toward
the center. After each stroke the
color is renewed in the pen which
must be charged with exactly the right tone
each time, as there is no blending or mixing
the colors on the material as in ordinary Oil
painting the colors being mixed on the pa
lette as they are needed. The flowers are
shaded as in embroidery, but all is done by
strokes of the pen initiating the effect of long
stitches as nearly as possible. Fine lines and
details for which the pen may seem too
clumsy may be done with long steel pin.
The point of this is loaded with color, and it
is then used with rolling motion, being
turned round and round while drawing it along
the operator, always remembering to work
from the outline toward the center. No
medium is used with the colors, but any del
icate fabric may be protected by busting the
wrong side with powdered magnesia
or French chalk This kind of paint
ing is very durable, and may be ap-
piled to the same uses as embroidery with
equally lasting results. The best of is that
it is so rapidly done, and requires no special
instruction or skill, beyond the art of shading
and blending the colors. Lustra painting
very properly belongs to the same category,
and will be described In a subsequent article.
One of the newest fads in fancy work is the
making of ornamental pillows and stuffing
them with leaves from the fragrant fir tree.
They are usually embelished with suitable
motto in addition to other characterization. A
very appropriate one runs in this wise:
when you lie down at night by Cares bur-
dens oppressed,
The frs fragrant odor will soothe you to
rest"

Tired of ConiugaI Life.

A very prominent judge in this city has
put bee in his bonnet by offering his wife
"a highly respectable and precise lady of
5O-S25. OOO to ''let him 60" Like An
selma, she loves him and threatens to put
him in lunatic asylum if he attempts to
leave her. Unlike most affairs of this kind,
there is no scandal in the case. The judge
is comfortable looking man, with plenty
of money hosts of friends and admirers.
and. to quote his own words. ''sick and
tired of being tied to an animated fashion
plate.'
I'VE have been married twenty-three
years. he continues; ''have had no chill
dren. no quarreling of any kind and no con-
geniality. Every reasonable wish Of hers
has been gratified and besides paying all
her household and living expenses l have
given her SIS, 600 year for pin money. She
is an easy-going lazy woman, who does
nothing but dress and follow pleasure;
reads the murder scandal and society col
umns of six dailies and manages to keep
posted in fashionable literature, such as
Harper's Bazaar and the modes.
Il am getting old now and I feel the
want of companionship. | want woman
with some brains, who will now and then
find some amusement in my tastes, and
who will give me a rest on club news and
guild gossip. | don't want to do anything
that will disgrace either of US; but would
like to get away, and am willing to pay
half of what l own for freedom"
The conversation was gained from the
lady herself, who would just as soon think
of making mince-meat of her arms as of
treating with the judge on business basis.
Their home in one of the business suburbs
is provided with every comfort and open at
all times to select circle of people who are
both fashionable and cultured. When they
are alone the lady sits in low straight
backed chair always dressed deliberately,
with Skye terrier in her lap, and as she
strokes his shaggy coat, her big, powerful
husband reads history with charts, atlas
and globe at his elbow for reference. At
II o'clock they retire, the wife to sleep and
the husband to recreate with Dickens, which
he reads every night in the year from eleven
to two. He has felt pillow made. which
gives his head the altitude and his body the
support he likes, and attached to a bracket
in the headboard is gas lamp and porce-
lain coffee pot. When he is through read
ing he makes himself a pot of coffee throws
the big pillow off on the floor, turns out the
gas and goes to sleep.-Chicago Letter.

Hog VS.. Man.

New York Sun: To know the American
you must see all sides of him. On train
between jersey City and Paterson, day OF
two ago, poorly-dressed woman, carrying
a baby in her arms. walked through two
coaches and was unable to find seat The
railroad Hog was there. In dozen cases
he had whole seat to himself, and he
meant to keep it. The woman finally found
refuge in smoking car, and by and by the
Hog went forward to enjoy Havana and
found her crying.
Whats the matter?"
''Baby is very ill, sir"
And where are you going?"
''To my sisters Ny husband is dead, and
I have no home now"
Leave you any money!"
mot dollar, sir"
''Umphl Sorry for you. Let me hand
you this"
The Hog has been robbed of his bristles.
Woman's tears had melted his sefshness.
He returned to his car. gathered the other
Hogs about him, and said:
Come down! Poor widow-sick baby
no home. Come DOWN.
The Hogs went down for their wallets.
and in ten minutes the sum of $40 was put
into the woman's hand, and the Boss Hog
observed:
''There-there-t's all right-nota word!
Now come back here!"
And as she followed him into the coach
dozen Hogs rose up and insisted that she
take their seats, and all gathered round her
to voice the sentiment.
Poor woman! Poor baby! Isn't there
something we can do for you?"
The railroad Hog can't be crowded, but
he can be melted.

GENERAL GRAFT AND THE NEWS
REPORTERS.

If the statements Of the attending ply
sicians are to be read between the lines, it
is clear that notwithstanding the improved
condition of General Grant, they have
little if any hope of his ultimate recovery.
The total absence of encouraging words,
the failure to even express belief in a pos
sible permanent change for the better, in
dicates their belief that recovery is impos-
sible and death liable to occur at any
hour. In one respect the lingering illness
of the General is not cause for regret,
for ii gives to him the opportunity to
learn the true place he fills in the hearts
of the people. 1t is evident that this
knowledge is great solace to him,
smooths the rough passage to the inevita-
bic and fast approaching end, and compen-
safes largely for the physical suffering he
endures. While the nation holds the
hands Of lis great chiefain and pityingly
notes his decline, there are those who
offend the sensibiitics and shock ali decent
people by speculations concerning the
after death hours. For instance, dispatche,
have been sent across the continent stating
how many days after death viii eiapse be
fore the funeral will take place; where
the General will be buried; what cera-
monies will be observed, and other equal
" Extensively and ghnuliil data The
demands of ordinary respect for the
family Of General Grant the
requirements Of common decency, to say
nothing of the tender regard due to sick
man, should stay the hands that indite
such enterprising' news. It is bad
enough, goodness knows to print the obit-
uary of the General prior to his death, rs
was done by our evening contemporary,
and to divert attention from which,
it chartered in reply to criticism
about the "history" Of the Generals
achievements totally distinct matter
but it is Infinitely worse to do rs the Asso-
ciated Press reporters have done, and give
the details Of preparations for the funeral
ceremonies of a man who still lives. Ii is
certain that these "euterprising' news
gatherers do not gain their information
from members OF General Grants family,
for self-respecting Americans do not put
the undertaker's tape measure upon liv-
ing body, nor arrange for the burial of
loved one while yet the breath Of life lin
gers in the frame. The news men evolve
such alleged facts fromtheir speculative
fancies. Their employers should have the
decency to reject the offensive paragraphs,
and read the "enterprising" bohemians a
lesson.
