cHILDREN's VOICES.

Oft when the twilight comes, with song OF
bird,
And CLEANS OF sunlight dying In the west,
Sweeter than any music ever heard,
The children's voices calm my heart to
rest
| hear thom singing in the grassy lane
The songs / sang in childhOods sunny
hours,
Sweet as the summers sound of dripping
rain.
Or winter dreams Of springtime's earliest
flowers
| see again little childish face,
feel the soft touch Of little hand,
And in the dark ming lane againssI trace
The vanished sweetness of another land
l wonder where the little feet have strayed
That wandered then through summers
pleasant ways.
Where the light grasses, by the west wind
swayol,
Bent low and murmured Of the passing
days.
Where still Their voices fall, though day is
done,
And darkness folds the valley in the west;
Bringing sweet memories OF days long gone,
The children's voices calm my heart to
rest

wonder how the men who live in some
of the uptown flats get home late at night,
or do they all go homo early The chances
of a stroll took me last evening among some
streets on the west side almost solijly lined
with apartmenthouses Of the modestly
handsome order. They seemed to be built
by dozens together on the same plan, out OF
the same material, with the same porches,
the same finish from basement TO cornice;
and am ready TO make my affidavit that
became bewildered by merely superficial
survey Of their prevailing Siamese-twin
likeness Do their wives hang signals out

marks by which their doors may be identi-

Mummy of an Egyptian Princess.

The mummy of an Egyptian prince is one
of the most interesting objects in the col
lection 1t was obtained by Mr. Book
walter from Brusch hey, Of the Boulak mus
cum, Cairo. So wonderfully preserved are
the features of the princess, that it is
thought that any one who knew her in life
would be able to recognize her as embalmed.
The old girls body and face are as black as
night, and look tough and leethery. The
features are sharp and the head narrow.
The flesh is considerably shrunken, and the
chin is very sharp The row Of front teeth
are exposed to view and look like circle Of
pearls Tbs tongue protrudes slightly, and
looks like piece of thin black sole leather
In the case is a gilt mask, something like
those worn at masquerade bal 6, which were
put over the faces Of the embalmed bodies
The 300 layers Of cloth used in the en-
balming process, and making a covering
about three inches thick, are cut from one
,ide Of the body TO show the embalming pro-
cess The mummy is placed in a magnifi-
cent sarcophagus, wrought in gilt and col
ors, and with designs showing the royal asp
On the cover. The age Of the princess
is over $500 years-Cor. Cincinnati Com

wholesome Meat for London's Poor.

An English clergyman, the Rev. Freeman
Wills, vicar Of St Agatha's, Finsbury av-
enue, has set going three butcher shops in
London, TO supply the poor with good and
wholesome meat at reasonable prices, and
has demonstrated that he can make profit
upon selling not only American beet and
New leland mutton, but even English beef
and mutton, at figures averaging 20 per
cent less than those demanded by the regu-
lar butchers for the same quality Of meat
Local butchers in competition with his shops
have had TO make large reductions In their
prices -Eew York Sun

The Late Prince Of Orange.

BY the way, there is an amusing anecdote,
which is not generally known, concerning
the manner in which the prince Of Orange,
grand viyeur, passionate frequenter OF
all-night restaurants, and the original of
the immortal type in Daudet's kings in
Exile" got his name Of Citron or Lemon.
IL is said that in the early days Of his dis
sipation in Paris, when he was surrounded
by host Of brilliant and wealthy French
gentlemen, they manifested certain awe
Of his title 10 royalty and inheritance 10 a
throne, and used rather too much form In
addressing him; 30 that one night when
they were all engaged in a tremendous lark
he said 10 one OF the laading spirits Of the
French gay world, gentleman who had
inherited a glorious name and an immense
fortune "For heavens sake do not Prince
me 80 IIuch. Give me a name that will be
more familiar Whereupon the gentleman
lifting his glass Of ice-cold champagne said,
with an accent OF mingled scorn and famil.
iarity, "A la tienne, citron;" and citron

Hard struggle to Obtain a Hearing


1t is useless for any one to deny that
writers unknown in literature have a hard
struggle at first TO obtain a hearing. Still,
believe that any one who has a story worth
telling or original ideas worth recording
no matter ON what sub.ect--can eventually
find some publisher with sufficient discern
ment TO recognize the fact In literature,
as in everything else, people are like water
sure to find Their level sooner or later.

a good one for all yo1ng writers anxious to
have their productions soc the light Of day.

robacco-ChewIng In California.

The assertion is frequently made that
thsre is less tobacco chewing than there used
to be, but this is not the case in California
Inquiry among leading dealers in San Fran
cisco developed the fact that the consump-
ton of the weed has kept pace with the in
crease in population. II is estimated that
there are about S0o, 900 tobacco-chewers in
he state, and that they use usually $780,

The Cantata of 1.-THE Haymakers"
rendered ut the Town Hall, on We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday nights
by local talent was in every way a sue
cess, and considering that the most of
those who took part in it were unac-
customed to facing audiences, and more
or less for this reason constrained in
their full voice and manner, was de-
cided success. 1t is only those who
are accustomed to the stage and who
frequently come before the people that
can acquire that ease and independence
that gives them full command of their
capabilities This was manifest in the
above entertainment, the singing and
acting improving with each night, the
third night though they were tired and
there was less in the audience to in
spipe them than on the two preceding
nights, was the best of all. The Hay
makers was constantly brought in COM
parisOn with Queen Esther rendered in
the same place month previous, but
they were hardly comparable from the
fact that the latter is. so enriched by its
scenic display with certain sacredness
because of its Scriptural connection
though with all Il drama of great inten-
sity, deeply impressing itself on the
hearer. The Haymakers though hav-
ing some diverting episodes makes no
pretensiOns for anything beyond what
it really Is, musical production OF
great force and beauty: In its music
simply, critics concede a higher degree
Of excellence to the Haymakers.
In the pleasing rendition on the
nights above named there was not a
single character that was not taken
with credit while the choruses which
formed so much the larger part of the
singing arose to the dignity Of great
excellence, such as the soul that loves
music could not tire Of. Farmer, Wal
ter o. Holfecker, who Us master of the
hay field had much to do, was well
adapted in voice and manner to his
position as leader, William, First As
