Going Home.

Kiss me when my spirit flies;
Let the beauty of your eyes
Beam along the waves of death
While draw my parting breath,
And am borne to yOnder shore
Where the pillows beat no more,
And the notes of endless spring
Through the groves immortal ring.
am going home tonight,
Out of blindness into sight,
Out OF weakness, war and pain,
Into power, peace and gain,
Out Of winter gale and gloom
Into summer breath and bloom;
From the wanderings of the past
am going home at Last.
Kiss my lips and let me go:
Nearer swells the solemn flow
OF the wOndrous stream that rolls
By the borderland of souls;
i can catch sweet strains of songs
Floating down from distant throngS,
And can feel the touch of hands
Reaching out from angel bands.
Anglers frown and Envy's thrust,
Friendship chilled by cold distrust,
Sleepless night and weary morn,
Toll in fruitless land fOrlorn,
Aching head and breaking heart,
Love destroyed by SANDERS dart,
Drifting ship and darkened sea,
Over there Will righted be.

Eccentric Mrs. Ashton.
THE WOMAN WHO ATTENDED SIX HUNDRED FUNERALS
DROPS DEAD AT A GRAVE.

A telegram from Montrose, December 21, says:
Mrs. Margaret Ashton, OF Factoryville, who was
widely known because OF her eccentric fondness
for attending funerals, she having been present at
the burial OF every person but three who had died
in that part OF this and adjoining counties during
the past forty years, died suddenly on Saturday
while at the funeral OF a neighbor. She was
seventy years old and wealthy. Besides being
present at so many local funerals, she had been
among the spectators at the obseqries OF all the
noted people Of this country who have died In the
past half century, including Daniel Webster, Abra-
nam Lincoln, Horace Greeley, Gen. Grant, Presi-
dent Garfield and stephen A. Douglas. She was
prevented from being present at President Ar
thurs funeral by the death or a relative who was
buried on the same day.
Mrs. Ashton could give the dates OF the death
and burial OF every person who had died within
circuit of fifty miles OF Factoryvflle since she
was child. She dropped dead while the body
OF the person whose funeral she was attending
was being lowered into the grave. Mrs. Ashton's
husband died suddenly last Christmas, and OF
thirteen children but one survives her. She had
attended over 800 funerals.

Theatrical ssFloral Tributes,

LAbouchere in Truth.
am glad to see that there is prondnciamento
in Vienna against 'noral tributes to artistes on
the stage Occasionally they are spontaneous, but
as q rule they are got-up affairs. I remember
being behind the scenes some years ago when a
lady, who was then (and deservedly SOY '.stage
queen" was acting. Her husband arrived with
some twenty or thirty bouquets and huge basket
Of Mowers. The former he distributed amongst
the door-0peners, the latter he placed in the
orchestra. AT the end OF the first act the bouquets
were thrown, but no sooner was the curtain down
than they were picked up and taken back to the
d0or-0peners to be thrown again at the end
of the next act. When the play was
over the basket OF flowers was solemnly
handed up from the orchestra. This same
actress was once playing the part OF q boy.
A bouquet waSthrOwn to her whilst the heroine OF
the piece was on the stage and she had to hand 1t
to the latter, in accordance with stage etiquette
No sooner, however, had the curtains fallen than
she asked her for the bouquet The heroine declined
to give 1t up, and said that perhaps 1t had been
thrown to her. "But there is Hing in n, I" cried
the boy. "Well," said the heroine, aperhaps the
ring, too was for me-" In the end the boy had to
explain that the bouquet and the ring were both
throw them to her. She had contemplated draw
ing the ring, coram publicO out from the bouquet
with grateful surprise. But her husband had mud
died 1t, and thrown her the vOttve Offering when
the heroine was on the stage.

Milk I'm Tea.

writer In the Contemporary Repie,v makes
these sensible remarks In regard to the custom OF
putting milk into tea:
''To put milk or cream into properly prepared
tea Is TO commit an objectionable gastronomic sole
cism; not only for the fancfful reason that chem.
teal compound results from the mixture resemb.
ling the basis OF leather, but because the addition
OF milk DISCUSSES the peculiar aroma OF the tea and
makes one KIND taste exactly like another very
much In the same way as French cooks some
times spon the natural favor OF d sh with Their
eternal sauces Till you are unable to tell
whether you are eating salmon or shark, catfish
or d0gash. Sugar, on the other hand may and
should be added TO tea. For It makes the taste OF
the tea more agreeable without in the least inter.
fering with It's fragrance. MIX and tea soon be.
comes very fnap1d to the sense OF those who have
once accustomed themselves to drink plain tea.
Moreover, there Is q special enjoyment TO be de-
uyed nom each kind OF tea; and how acutely the
sense OF smen can be educated In the art OF dis
eliminating tees is shown In the case Of profess
slonal toa-tasterS VINO can distinguish not only
the country and the locality where the leaves were

A special to the New York World from Amster-

over the exposing OF the secret work of the
Knights OF Labor has subsidized as the investtga-
iOn into the origin of the disclosures progressed
The af1idavit made by the editor Of the paper
which first published the secret work is hardly
credited and was made, it is supposed, to throw
the Investigators of the scent. The World CORE
SpOndent to-day interviewed Master workman
McFedries, who explained the matter thus:
sThe secret papers from which the recent expose
copied is an organizers circular in force some
months ago. This fact was established by COM
pairing the published secrets with the ritual. The
two were dfsSim1lar in many respects. Again.
comparing the disclosures with an organizers
manual In the possession OF District Master Work.

were two organizers appointed In this district p
H. CumminS is the first and the other resigned the
office and from the order some months ago. In
July, at the Cleveland convention the secret work
noticed in the Democrats disclosures, and this
clearly proves, in the minds Of the leaders, the
origin of the traitorous acts"
Regarding that AFFIDAVIT, an affidavit that I
itor Knne's. will say that believe Henrietta c,
Fronk, ex-fnancial secretary of the local assem-
bly,, is the traitor who furnished the CODY The
copy may have been posted at Philadelphia, but
Amsterdam was its first source. Several days pre-
viOuS to the expose 1t Is said that Henrietta Fronk
made threats regarding certain secrets in her
possession. These were revived and denounced by
the publication Of letter said to have been sent
Miss Fronk by committee Of twelve" The con-
tents, In bitter hatred, were equal to those COM
Fronk claims to have documents In her possession
which will eXOnerate her.

QUEEN VICTORIA ASSENTS TO AN AMENDMENT TO THE
CANADIAN FISHERIES ACT.
An Ottawa dispatch says the government has re-
cetved notice that her majesty had assented to the
amendment to the Canadian fisheries act, passed
at the last session. and which was reserved by the
governor general for the assent OF the imperial
authorities 1t Will be remembered that when the
Canadian cruisers commenced selling American
fishing vessels for purchasing bait and ice the
question OF the legality of such proceedings under
the Canadian fisheries act was raised, and 1t was
found that the act did not sufficiently cover such
cases, tnasmuch as 1t did not provide the penalty
OF cOnfScatiOn. Prosecutions have therefore been
made under the customs act for infringement of
customs regulations In cases OF neglect to enter,
and similar OfenSeS.
Last session Minister Foster introduced and
passed an act to amend the fisheries act, in which
1t is provided that it shall not be legal for fishing
vessels to enter Canadian ports for any other pu-
poses than those expressly stipulated in the treaty
of 1S1Sthat Is for SHELTER for repairs for obtain
ing wood or for obtaining water" This act was
intended to provide the penalty OF cOnfscatton for
purchasing bait or ice, and will give the Canadian
government much more freedom OF action in deal
Ing with trespassing fishing vessels. This is the
act to which notice Of assent was received to-day

What She Hops Out Of These Days.
From the San Francisco Report
There Is pretty bit of writing somewhere about
beautiful maiden who hoped into bed, leaving
snowy mound OF warm, soft apparel on the floCi
But that was written long time ago. Now when
she does any hopping It's out OF what brute OF
man called a kaleidoscope gone wrong. Instead OF
the snowy mound there are boots Of bronze and
stockings OF inky hue Pale blue flannel or SIX
vests clasp her willOwy form. She sheds an un-
derskirt OF pink flannel, lace trimmed, and un-
hooks yellow cOrsets embroidered in olive. Usu.
ally she does bring her esthetic taste down to 9
white night dress but it's very CALLING to have tC
sleep in such an artistic sort OF thing.
