Death Of Eminent Men.

There IS one advantage IN being a
humble, unlmportant individual in this
world, one Is permitted when i'll to re-
main In peace and retirement IN his
chamber, and II compelled to die he
as divorce lawyers say, without pub
llclty. 1t Is not often that he IS dis
turbed by the presence of more than
one doctor, and his calls are usually
brief. There are no hourly bulletins
sent out concerning the patients con-
dltlon-how he sleeps, what he eats,
now often he rolls over In bed, how
long he sits up, and what he says. Nor
Is there mob OF newspaper reporters
on the sidewalk eager to interview any
servant or other member OF the house
'front.' door And no considerable num-
Der OF the cnrlous public stand In the
street watching the feeble night lamp,
speculatlng as to what is going on in
the sick room and whether or not the
patient Will survive until morning. All
this Is spared the humble individual,
and In cities 1t IS possible for him to be
dead and buried for some time before
his neighbors or even many of his
friends are aware that he has been ill.
Herein the person aforementioned has
great advantage over the man who
occupies a position of renown. The
latter is never allowed to be sick in
peace or die quietly. The most trihing
lndisposition is mentioned in the news
papers, and If his illness be at all of
a serious nature it is Immediately tel
egraphed all over the world. AS the
danger increases the doctors multiply,
a danger IN itself, we are led to think.
When the distinguished patient opens
his eyes he cannot see his sympathizing
family on account of the number of
doctors who surround his couch. And
while the ethics of the profession will
not allow any OF these NJ. DIS to adyer

The next day he was surprised by
visit from Madame Malibran. She
laid her hands on his yellow curls, and,
turning to the sick woman, said: "Your
little boy, madame, has brought you a
fortune. I was offered this morning,
by the best publisher in London, 9300
for his little song! and, after he has re.
allied certain amount from the sale,
little Pierre was to share the profits.
Madame, thank God that your son has
a gift from Heaven!"
The noble-hearted singer and the
woman wept together. As to Pierre,
always mindful of him who watches
over the tried and tempted, he knelt
down by his mothers bedside, and ut
tered simple but eloquent prayer,
asking Gods blessing on the kind lady
who had deigned to notice their afflic-
ton.
The memory of that prayer made the
singer even more tender-hearted, and
she who was the idol of England's no.
bility went about doing good. And, in
her early, happy death, he who stood
by her bed and smoothed her pillow,
and ightened her last moments by his
undying affection, was the little Pierre
of former days-now rich, accomplished,
and one of the most talented composers
Of the day.

NEW YORK coRREspoNpENcE.1

Midsummer balls are remarkable for
old and new toilets A majority of the
women wear dresses from the previous
winters festivities in town, freshened
up by new trimmings, perhaps, but
sometimes plainly showing the usage
which they have had. 1t is the minority
who appear on these rare occasions in
brand-new outfits. The perfectly fresh
ball gowns of August are apt to be
loudly pronounced in material. That
is their distinguishing feature as COM
pared with last winters fabrics. The
picture shows one in which the satin
ground work of the waist is white, but
its surface is half covered by big, bright
red stars. Another fact regarding these
pretentious summer toilets is that, al
though the hustle is greatly diminished
for ordinary times, in these particular
cases it is just about as large as ever
In other words, the August belle is not
quite ready to cut down the preten-
tious outlines of her skirts On cere-
monious occasions. She may come to
it by autumn, but as yet her tournure
for stylish evening dance remains
practically intact. While she thus
maintains fullness of material in her
skirt, she abates none of the scan
tiness of clo.h in her bodice, which
is quite as low as ever in
front, and rather more so behind. The
picture shows what the present fashion
is in that respect. Another character
istic of ball toilets is that the shoes and
hosiery both match the dress in colors
and partly in materials. Neither high
CATERS nor low slippers are in vogue for
this purpose, the correct thing being a
low shoe tied with a bow. The leather
portion is dyed the same hue as the
satin which is set into it, and of the
silken stocking above, as we'll MS the
dress overhanging them. In case there
are two or three distinct colors in the
gown they are also reproduced in the
hose and shoes. OF course, l am writ
ing about those bellies to whom expense
means nothing. To arbitrarily order q
pair of stockings and pair of shoes
carrying tints the same as the samples
of the dress submitted means reckless
ness as to cost, for the market will have
to be hunted over in vain for the right
stockings, and eventually they have to
be woven to suit this exquisite demand.
The shoes are easier to procure, because

An Unknown Knight.

They came slowly along Lafayette
Place-a tired, bony horse, drawing a
: wagon with an old body with the
paint worn off, the wagon filled with
kiptlling wood. On the wagon seat sat
BOY about fifteen years old. He had
no overcoat, felt hat with the brim
more bent and dented than the most
extremely fashionable hat you ever
saw. The old, tired horse drew up
close to the curb, and seemed to be
glad of the opportunity to rest. The
boy on the wagon seat jumped down,
and soon was shoveling the wood into
barrel, which he delivered into q
nelghboring basement. He presently
returned with his empty barrel, whistl-
ing. AS he threw his barrel into the
wagon, a lady started to cross the street,
over the snow but, when she reached
the middle of the street, she found
broad, deep puddle of soft slush. She
stood perfectly still, and apparently
very much puzzled. The boy took in
the situation at glance. He ran to
the back of the wagon, got his shovel,
and with n bright smile to the lady,
began shoveling the slush up onto the
snowbank. He made q clean path to
the stones, and then, without giving
the lady an opportunity to say q word,
sprang onto the seat of his wagon,
threw the shovel into the bottom of the
wagon, gatherd up his reins, and, with
CHEEKY "Get up" drove away. Now,
did not that prove that boy gentle
man? The picture of Sir Walter
Raleigh spreading his mantle at the
feet of Queen Elizabeth came into
mind; but at once the thought came,
"Why, this boy is greater knight than
Sir Walter Raleigh, for he knew that
it was the Queen at whose feet he laid
the elegant cloak; but this boy did not
have the faintest idea who the lady was
that lie served so nobly, and did not
permit her even the opportunity OF
thanking him, but acted throughout as
if there was nothing else to be done. >
He had only his muscle to help lady,
and he laid it at her service. 1t takes
more than handsome clothes, pair o.
kid gloves and fashionable hat to make
a gentleman.-Christia11 Union.

importers had stocks on hand which
they almost despaired of selling.
These goods have come into q quick
market. A visit to Newport, perhaps
the SWEETEST of all the watering places,
disclosed great number of bellies
wearing the English blouse waist al
most without exception in the mor~ing,
of flannel, silk, satin, rs the case may
be, with skirts of any material, yellow
shoes and neglige hats. The Tam-o'
Shanter has had its day, and the ten
nis-playing girls have taken to the
jockey cap instead. In fact, they look
very mannish with their blazers and
shirt waists, loosely tied at the throat
with soft scarf, and belted snugly at
the waist. Moth 'ng is too conspicuous
or outre to be worn. Any costume
which causes bystandCrs and passers-
by to look and stare is considered
great success, and the frills and flu, Be-
lows, puffs and sashes that some of
these enterprising damsels affect be-
wilder the adept in millinery. Every
body wears the popular yellow shoe.
Everybody wears at least one huge,
tapping leghorn flat, crushed and
uenteu ana turnei up mere, there, any
where, at the wcarer's own sweet will,
and bedecked lavishly with flowers of
every hue. Everybody has an India
silk and tennis dress, even though
they never take racket in hand from
one end of the summer t. the other.
The huge figures of print dresses
this summer are tax upon the ingen
uity of the dressmakcrs, who try hard
in putting together the waists to bring
the severed patterns together in some
thing like slightly manner. Rows of
broken circles, or severed leaves or
fragments of any design, have an mar
tistic effect, but it is not always posi-
BILE to surmount this difficulty. Go in
to dressmaking establishment and you
will find the employees at work on these
Chinese puzzles. They aim to make
conjunction of the parts of the figures

How Ants Live.

In spite of the multifaIious duties
and tasks that are imposed on these
tiny burghers, they still find time to
clean and adorn their worthy little per-
sons. No spot, no atom of dust or any.
thing else uncleanly will they tolerate
on their bodies. They get rid of the
dirt with the brushy tufts on their feet
or with their tongues. They act for all
the world like domestic cats when they
clean and lick themselves, and they as
sist one another at the toilet precisely
like monkeys. Their sense of clean
illness goes so far that the NATURAL It
often finds, to his unpleasant surprise,
the colored marks that he had applied,
with so much care on his trial ants"
removed by their officiating friends.
They keep their dwellings Just us
clearly.
But the conveying away of their de-
ceased brethren, whose bodies they APP
pear to regard with the greatest antip-
athy, gives them more trouble than
anything else. When some members of
an ant community which Mr.. Cook
kept imprisoned died and could not be
removed, those remaining seemed af-
fected with the greatest horror. For
days the insects ran about seeking O
way out, and ceased only when COM
pletely exhausted. The ants belonging
to the camponorous species seized the
dead and threw them into the water
pail, which they converted into sep
ulcher Ordinarily, though. tho ants
are said to treat their dead with more
reverence. They even possess their
own graveyards, which lie in the vicin-
ity of their nests. They convey their
deceased companions thither, whera
they lay them down III orderly little
heaps or rows.
1t is only the corpses of their fellows,
however, that they treat III this man
ner Dead strangers they throw ont
like something unclean, or tear the
body in pieces. Even between the mas
ter, and slaves of the same community
Miss Trent says she has observed dis.
sirlillr mode of burial. While the
masters find their last repose in spe-
cial graveyard, side by side. the slaves
lie like heaped up refuse near the nest,
despised equally in death as in life.
The ant cemeteries arc often thickly
populated, for their life is short. Tho
male lives only through one summer;
the females live somewhat longer; and
the workers die of old age in the eighth
or tenth year.

Money Made Keeping Hens

money Muue AeepinK hehn
Hundreds of farmers who never kept An &C.
count, would kill every "pcsky hen" on the
farm, If it was not for the women folks" The
women intuitively know that the hens do not
"eat their heads off every six months" but
properly kept pay better than any other farm
animals.
This is true. A record, simple to keep, so It
would be used and show the facts in detail
would prove thrt every hen paid profit. They
could be made to pay, from one to three dollars
each. Mr.. James l.. Burgess, Nashua, N. H.,
reported to the Neshau Telegraph that his
wife made clean net profit last year, CT $3.50
for eggs alone, from only sixteen hens. He
thinks her success was largely due, to using
Sherdan's Condition Powder, n much adver-
tised preparation to make hens lay.
Do your hens pay like that? Do you want
to learn how to mako them pay better?
Are you in delicate health, and want to COM
mence poultry raising, for the sake of open air
employment? II So get some reliable advice
how to do it. A new, enlarged, and much i'm
proved edition of that valuable book. the Far
mer's Poultry Raising Guide, has just been
printed. 1t contains much very practical in
formation.
Among the many new features which every
person who keeps hens should have is blank
records and accounts for eacn month Of the
year. II also contains long series OF very

which the publishers, |. =. johnson Il Co., =,

There is really no way that persons on a
farm or near q large town can secure a cash

able. Send to johnson & Co., for testimonial

Pin Factories i'm New Eny,ani.

1t is estimated that pin factories in
New England turn oat 1O,S0o, 600 900
pins yearly, and that other factories in
the States bring the number up to 49,
10000, 600. This is equal to about one
pin day for every inhabitant of the
United States. The question, "Where
do all the pins go to? ?" might be supple.
mented by another, "What becomes of
all the rubber overshocs?' The fac
tories in Naugatuck alone turn out 49,
600 pairs of shoes daily, or, counting
800 working days in the year, 4, 500 600
pairs. Considering what rubber shoes
are made of nowadays, perhaps it is
not remarkable after all.

WILLIAM HASTINGS TooN, of Lon.
don, advertised in seventy English
papers for clerk at salary of $3.50 q
year. To applicants he returned a cir
cular saying that he must have five
shillings as guarantee of good faith
before considering the matter. The
police arrested him after he had re-
ceived many thousand applications and
a goodly number of shillings, and in
court it came out that the whole bust
ness was the result of wager of $500
Toon had made with friend that with
in q month he could get 5000 appli-
cations for situation as clerk, and
that 1000 of them would be accom-
panied by five shillings. The jury
found him guilty of fraud, but the
Judge realeased him under bonds, with
warning and suspension of sentence.

"Is the boy in the field?"
Eyes, he is in the field"
"What is the boy doing in the tield?"
Stealing cucumbers.'
docs the man see him?'
HE does"
But why does he chuckle and grin
instead of driving the boy out?"
Hist He is the man who keeps the
drugstore on the corner!'
LESSON II.
LET us look over the alley fence and
see the piece of statuary in the Widow
McGee's back yard. Is it not beau
tiful thing"
at is 1t is marble dog, and so
life-like that / would declare it alive"
THAT shows the wonderful skill of
man. Human skill, assisted by pa
thence and perseverance, can accomp-
iish wonders"
"Who is that oHing down the
street,"
1T is poor young man whose all IAN
old pair of boots was consumed by the
great Chicago fire, and he now wanders
Droken-hearted and discouraged over
the face of the earth"
why does he wish to enter the back
yard? 2"
"To tell his sad story to the hired
girl at the kitchen door She will listen,
wipe away the falling tear, and fill him
up with the best in the house"
"Ah ha! but did you see that? The
marble dog seemed to raise it's head"
$50 it did. Look! 1t is now making
jumps ten feet apart! See! 1t has seiz-
ed the tramp
Wonderful! Hear him yell Where
is he going now"
HE is headed for Australia, via the
lattice gate and Pine street, and the
marble dog seems to be part of him."
And won't he tell his sad story to
the hired girl to-dGy?"
mo, not to-day. When the soft
shades of evening close in upon the
wicked world he will be far, far from
this"
And the marble dog?'
will soon return to resume its pose
under the cherry tree and wait for
another. Wonderful is the skill of
man."
LESSON III.
do you sec the man and boy?"
eyes, / see them"
"They are father and son, and they
are talking. Can you hear what they
are sayiug?'
Il can. 1t IL Sunday. A circus has
arrived in town and the boy wants to
60 over and see the tents"
nj WON'T Ii, fofhor ,>o,,,,k 1,,,,,
"No. He says it's the most wicked
thing he ever heard Of. and that it may
lose the boys soul. He also promises
him a whaling Monday morning."
"Shall we go over to the tents and
lose our souls 2"
ave will. All! who is this man
ahead of u.s.
"Why, that is the boys father! He
has slipped out of the alley gate and is
making for the circus grounds as fast
as he can 60"
"But won't he lose his soul?"
"Not if the court knows herself"
LESSON ".
"Ah! here is farmer on his way to
town. Can You see what he has in his
wagon?"
ooh, yes. He has bale of hops"
$50 he has. Poor mani
"Why do you say that?"
Because he will have to draw his
bale back home again"
"But he may sell them to the brewer"
Not to-day, my son. There was a
time when brewers didn't know any
better than to buy hops to brew with,
but now they have thirty-two substi-
tutes and are still gaining on it..
"And the farmer will lose the fruits
of his labor"
mot altogether, perhaps. He may
have case of quinsy, and then his
hops will come handy. He should have
taken the papers and kept posted. -
