"a CASTLE IN NEW ENGLAND

Upon the torrents brink there stands
A castle, dark and old,
W ith drawbridge, barbican and keep.
With turrcts manifold,
And banners, floating IN the sun,
Like bands of FURNISHED gold.
High up, above the graded arch.
The embrasured easements irown,
And there lady. young and fair.
For many day looks down
The roadway, winding DER the bridge,
Into the ancient town,
Upon the nelds of waving gniu
Her mourutul glances rest.
She watches every cloud that roats
Beyond the hills blue crest.
ntil at last an srmored knight
Rides down from ont the west.
| The vision fades, the scene is changed
In one swift magic whirl,
| A homely gabled house succeeds
| The castle of an earl,
The princess In the tower becomes
fair New England girl.
She sits beneath the porch al eve,
| The time, unreckoned, flies,
| Her little ha uds are clasped, her book
Unread before her lies,
| A ftnciful and far-off look
Is in her tender eyes
Across her taintly dimpled cheeks
| The lights and shadows glance.
Her sweet and thoughtful face IL raised
| She seems as In = trance.
| Their is an aureole round her head
| or glory and romance.
And this was all a dream of hers,
| Her thoughts fantastic flight,
| a dream which made her homely house
Into castle bright,
dream which made of Farmer Smith
| A handsome armored knight
By homely tasks and trivial cares
Her life is compassed round,
Her dreamy knowledge of the world
| In quaint old books Is found
Beyond those blue New England hills,
'ris all an unknown ground.
Yet, often in the air strange,
Mysterious music seems,
Old towns and lordly castles rise
In her romantic dreams.
The glow of knighthoods golden days
Across her pathway streams.

AMONG THE WARNING BIRDS.

Blue says Who Acted the Part of Peace
InaIkers-A Curious Story.
A resident of Memphis erected on his
lawn large bird house, intended as the sum-
mer house of flock of martins. 1t was a
three story affair, and three varieties of birds
inhabited it-martins, bluebirds and spar
rows. The numbers were about equal The
mixture of breeds did not appear to cause
discomfort for a long time. Each bird nation
gathered sticks and straw and other material
for nests, and harmony prevailed for weeks.
One day, however, the gentleman's family
discovered that there was something wrong
with the inhabitants of the airy house on the
lawn. There was unusual commotion, a
squealing, pecking and futtering which de
noted trouble in the hitherto happy family
A close watch brought the further discovery
that the martins and bluebirds had Joined
forces and were making mighty effort to
drive the sparrows off the premises. The
sparrows battled plucllily for their home, but
were in the end doomed to defeat and an ig-
nominious flight.
Oppos.ts the lawn in a neighbor's yard
stood several large oaks. A small colony of
bluejays had pre-empted homes there The
sparrows on being forced from homes and
nests took refuge in the oaks. Their advent
was followed by bird chatter, and chirp and
Equall, participated in by both sparrows and
jays. The noise attracted the family, and
now two households We're watching with in
terest the actions of the winged tribes.
Shortly the spaIrows, seemingly escorted
by a number of the jays, returned to the
lawn and house. This was followed by a
convention of bird music, IN which the jays
took the prominent part. By and by the bed
lam of voices ceased, and the jays did the
talking or chirping. They soon returned to
the oaks, leaving quiet and peace on the
lawn. The three bird colonies worked all
summer without further jar or disagreement,
Did the jays act the part of peacemakers?-

An Artists Awful Realism.

Concerning the awful realism of
Titian's anatomical drawing and color
ing this story is told: When he first
painted his "John the Baptist" the Turk
ish ambassador urged him to go to Con-
stantlnople to sell it. He followed that
advice. The sultan admired his work,
and declared the neck of the decapitated
apostle was not correctly represented.
@Now," said the sultan, Il will show
you" Calling a slave the royal despot
drew his own blade and severed the vas
SAILS head from his body. Over his
ghastly remains the sultan argued the
Justice of his criticism. Titan is said to
have profted by this horrible experience
and thereafter depicted the drawn mus
cIes and severed arteries with frightful
intensity in the copies of his original
study.-Chicago News.

Tho rire ads Magic.

There is perhaps no excitement TO
which the average New Yorker is moro
susceptible than that which arises from
a burning building. He viii leave his
business, his dinner or any other ocou-
patton which he may DO engaged in at
the time, to run to a fire, and whether
he has stopped to put on his bat or pick
up his coat will be with him an after
consideration. A fire engine drawn by
a pair of infuriated steeds, tearing
the arms out of the sockets Of the hat
less driver, with its sparks flying and
its gong beating, can draw IN its wake
a perfect army of small boys and turn
the most peaceful neighborhood at any
hour Of the day or night into a perfect
bedlam.
a fire can gather together a bigger
crowd in shorter space OF timo and
hold it longer than q political meeting,
a brass band, or Barnum's circus, Tho
nero whisper of the word fire" in q
crowded hall or theatre will suffice to
bring an audience to its feet at once,
and will cause women to Shrek and
faint and men TO turn white as their
own shirt fronts. The widest tempest
at sea could scarcely give moro alarm
to the passengers of an ocean steamer
than the information that the ship
was on FIRE. However great may DO
the excitement consequent upon q
condagration at the time, it soon
dies away after the cause has been re-
moved, and it takes but few hours for
the matter TO be forgotten by all except
those who have suffered the loss.

New Method of Speech Recording.

A promising method of recording and re
producing speech is that of NJ Leon Esquille
1t consists in first speaking to diaphragm
having a highly polished surface, from which
array of light is reflected. The record of this
speech is obtained by simply photographing
the ray of light upon a travelling band Of
sensitized paper. After having been devel-
oped, the articulation may be reproduced by
projecting the image of the trace by means
of an electric arc calcium light upon a
sclenium receiver, the well known apparatus
for Transforming light impulses into sound
vibrations, and the speech is then heard
through the telephone connected. This
method is moro troublesome than Edisons
phonograph or Bells graPhaphone, but seems
likely to give better results. -Arkausaw Tray

Perhaps you never stopped to think that in
city like Chicago live good many people
of various sorts who are able to enjoy no
greater comfort, no more delicious luxury,
than warm place to sleep. Thinking the
matter over you will doubtless perceive that
anything like happiness or contentment
without snug, warm place to sleep O. nights
is impossible Given fine raiment, rich food,
good health, wealth and oil of the pleasures,
delicacies and luxuries which money can buy
or youth and vigor can enjoy-all would be a
mockery without warm place to sleep. The
prisoner in solitary confinement, the con-
demned man in his cell, the pauper in a
charity bed, the hopeless invalid on couch
that is never to be left save in death, is
favored by fortune compared with him who
possesses no warm retreat at night, who has
almost forgotten what it is to sleep without
an accompanying nightmare made up of
cramps chills and icy specters. If any living
mortal deserves the pity and charity of his
fellows it is the one whom night makes home
less, who has door after door shut in his face,
who is cast out from the habitations Of man
to shift for himself like wild beast. All
this is what policeman meant to say when
he thus chatted at the west end of Madison
street bridge;
"What are those chaps doing there on the
sidewalk next the flour mill9 Gittin' warm.
Some OF ems tramps who haint got no money,
some's newsboys and bootblacks who'd rather
spend their money goin' to the theaytres than
for lodgin's, and some's fellers in tough luck.
No matter who they be an what brought 'em
hero, haint got the heart to drive 'em away.
You see, there's big steam boilers right under
the sidewalk there, and those CRATES are reg'la
hot air registers. Go stand over there an see
how warm it is. Some of 'em sleeps there all
night, an mighty glad of the chance, too.
Them cold nights we had 'em piled up there

send him home with pail for water and he
would return with it. Two of the men after
cutting wood on one side of the mountain
went over on to the other side. Carlo find

A Farmer Says 1t Promises Open
Winter and a Good Wheat Year.
"You may depend upon it," said Rock
land county farmer to a reporter last week,
Eve viii have open winter and a good
wheat year; the goose bone says So" The
goose bone is accepted by many Rockland
county people as better authority than Wig
gins, or their Haczensack friend, De Voc.
In many farm houses it will soon be found
hanging in the hall, and upon its predictions
some men place the fullest reliance
Thf real prophetic bone, it is claimed, can
only be obtained from a goose that was
hatclsed out in the spring, and the goose must
not be killed until the Indian summer has
passed away. A bone taken from q goose
hatched in May last year has row of dots
around the keel Of it, indicating the tenn
perature; and the darker the spots the
colder the weather. It is claimed that
the marks dividing the bone in
dicate the three winter months De
cember beginning at the front. Those
who have read this years bone carefully say
it indicates mo1e regular weather than that
of last year, and not so severe. There will
will not be many days during which running
water will freeze. The coolest weather will
occur during the first half Of January, and
in that time there will be several days of
freezing 1t viii be the severest part of the
whole season. Near the point of the bone the
discoloration is a little heavy, thus showing
that the first day of winter will give proof of
the seasons change. This will be followed
by rising temperature and falling weather
for Christmas.
January will be ushered in with cold and
the cold will strengthen as the days lengthen,
the coldest day of the winter being Jan. 8.
The severe weather will be brief, followed by
rising temperatures and heavy thaws, and
the last half of the month viii see many rains
and SHOWS. During February there will not
be any very cold weather, but it will be a
rather disagreeable month, with SHOWS and
rains. A few cold days will be all that Feb
ruary will contribute to winter. An early
and decided thaw is among the promises of
the bone. The February thaw viii overflow
the mountain streams, and disastrous foods
may be looked for.-New York Tribune.
