In four months the blrd-songs had deep
ened In color and odor until an imaginative
person might find them vivid as scarlet and
bursting with fragrance. Summer spread
up from the tropics Transforming the North
ern world. The yearly miracle, which new
er ceases 10 be marvellous, was nearly COM
pleted; not spear OF grass was lacking 10
the wide fleece Of yerdure; the leaves were
at their darkest; stalwart rag-weed grew
In the fence corners; the roses were long
ago tired Of blooming al their freshest, the
corn stood as high as a mans shoulder, and
only yellow stubble showed where the wheat
had been. Mrs. Barkers garden was rank
with onions late beans and cabbages. The
potato vines had even begun 20 droOp In

Holmes farm swarmed with tireshers,

across tho hay fields, noticing the second
growth, and specializing in unison with Mrs.

might happen before another year
But II summer merely triumphod other

IN balmy days when skies wcro fair
And summers sunlight 0ilcd the air,
And nclds we're fr--h with flowers rare,
dainty nest
Was swung among thc waving green

Where happy birds might brood unseen,

And soon, within It's grassy wan,
Was heard thc cooling chlrp and call,
And twittcrlng note OF birding small
With downy breast,
and tiny throats sweet carols trillod,
That through the waving treo.tops thrilled,
Aud love and M and beauty filled

But years grow old and seasons wanc.
And frosts fell on the fiowery plain.

Thines IL Hnsntet's kingdom, That Are De
cidedIy Rotten.
King Christian, Of Denmark, is a
nice old gentleman In many respects
And he really ought to be. In common
gratitude TO Providence. He was a
ono-horse German Prince, with nobody
TO rule over, and hardly q nickel With
which 10 buy glass Of cool. refreshing
beer. All Of q sudden he was given
the Danish throne, and since his Access
sion to sovereignty he has got good
places for all his sons and daughters in
the crown and scepter line Of business.
But with all his good points, he is
wrong-headed in some respects, and
extremely pig-headed in his wrong
headedness. He not only wants to
have his own way in every thing Qa
which regard he does not differ much
from most Of us); but he has strong
ideas about the Divine rights of Kings
Ideas that do not seem very unnatu-
raj when dro, cd from the altitude Of
n Hohenzollern Kaiser, but which cer-
tainly do appear ridiculous when puffed
up from the low level of q pumper-
nickel kingling. The difficulty into
which his royal nibs Of Denmark has
plunged himself by his mulish abso-
lutism is thus explained;
The rejection Of the Danish Minis

rupt closing Of the session of the Rigs.
dag by royal decree is only one more
repetition of n performance that has
been going on at intervals for several
years. The Folksthing, the popular
body, regularly refuses to grant the
appropriations demanded by the Es-
trup Ministry. which. alike by its arbi-
trary methods and by insisting on large
military expenditures, is in great dis
favor. The King as regularly there
upon dissolves the Rigsdag and votes
himself provisional budget by procla-
nation. as he may lawfully do under
an eXigency clause in the Danish con-
stitution. Then when the Parliament
reassembles it refuses to approve this
resort to the exigency provision. and
also rejects the regular annual budget.
This performance has been of late fire.

the autumn Of 1886, again during the

and the present these parliamentary
crises have occurred. il is strange
struggle that goes on in Denmark
King Christian persists in his methods;

Why Men Worth Having Never Think OF
Marrying Them.
There are girls who. instead Of max
ing themselves useful and calmly rest
ing in their maiden dignity. think only
Of getting married, and use questiona-
bic means TO achieve their purpose.
Forgetting the proverbs "The more
haste the less speed" this sort Of girl
not !nfrequently assumes a fast"
style Of talk, manner and dress in
order 10 make herself attractive TO the
opposite sex. Fish may nibble at her
bait, but they will not allow themselves
TO be caught A loud girl may attract
attention and have half an hour Of
popularity, but she Is a type Of the
shOrt-sightedness OF some Of her sex.
Men Of the baser sort may amuse them
selves with her, but no man worth hav-
ing would think Of marrying her.
There Is a liberty that makes us free,
and liberty that makes us slaves, and
the girls who take liberties with mod
esty Of speech and manner, and who
cross over the boundary into mascu-
line territory. are not more free but
more enslayed than before. And the
appreciation Of men. which is the end
in view, is lost by the means TO gain
It, Whatever men may be themselves
they like gentleness, modesty and
purity in act and thought in women.
They want their wives TO be better

Russian millionaires spend their
money lavishly on whims. One at
Moscow built private thester for the
production alternately Of Italian and
Russian operas. Another. who spends
most Of his time at Nice, keeps his
own orchestra, which compares with
the best. A merchant Of Odessa main
tains a magnificent theater at enor-
nous expense. This is a much better
way Of spending money than that fol-
lowed by many wealthy and titled

expose the spenders to the scorn Of the
