CaTdied Rose Leaves.

Have you candied rose leaves, you knowa' asked young man about town, of the pretty girl in a fashionable candy store.
 'Yes, sir; how much would you like2'
 "one pound, aw-in nico box, you know"
 "Oh, certainly, sir. We put them up in French bon-bon boxes. Here it is, sir; four dollars, please" "Whata four dollars for one pound of candy. Impossiblc!'
 The young man was frightened into speaking good English. The pretty girl smiled.
 1The candy is only $3 pound. The bon-bon box is $1-that makes four"
 'I-I-don't think I'll take it. You can give me pound box of mixed can- dies at the regular price, if you don't mind"
 "Certainly, sir" and the obliging clerk changed tho order, and the youag g man escaped solvent.
 'There are plenty of young men who do buy them," said the girl ''some take sweet violets, some like the can- died rose leaves, and others prefer pinks done in sugar.
 "What is tho object of eating cau- died fowers9'
 ''To perfume the breath. All young society ladies carry perfumed sweets with them to the theatre and to parties, everywhere they go indeed. Some of these are tiny lozenges put up in fancy vials like these."
 They looked like home opathic medi- cines-small sugar pills in all colors. There were violet bijous of a lovely lavender color. Musk bijous, pink and pretty, and lot of other sweets for the breath.
 ':And the price2"
 "Oh, those are cheap enough; only 10 cents bottle. Then there are the mixed favors for tho bon bonnieres, the little round boxes fastened to the cor sage. Even the gentlemen are begin ming to use them instead of cloves and coffee to sweeten the breath" ."-[Detroit Free Press.

Canine SagacitY.

A pretty little story comes to me from Lond op. says tho ''BibLlc- -Bablle' writer of the New York News, which is such good illustration of sagacity ia ani- mals, that am sure it will bear repeat ing. One morning the porter of Lon- don hospital heard two dogs barking loudly at the door of the out patient dc. partment and. huriying to sco what was tho cause of the disturbance, he found sitting on the stoop sad-locking, long haired collie dog, whose right foro foot had been wounded, and which, as he hold it from the step, was bleeding pro- fuscly. Beside tho poor creature stood two little fox terriers, who, immediately as the porter showed his head, boltcd away in hot haste, leaving their suffer- i2g companion at the door. Tho collie was taken into the dispensary, where it was found that an artery iu its paw had been severed by some sharp p instrument, and in short order the wound was dressed and aaadaged by ayoung at- tending surgeon, just as if the dog had been an ordinary human being. It was evident that the little terriers meeting the unfortunate collie, and having seen people going to tho hospital when any accident had befallen them, determined to show him the way there, and then to bark until he was admitted. A gentle man being told this story became suf- fciently interested in it to make ia- quirics, and to ascertain whether or not these suppositions were correct. He traced tho blood all tho way from tho hospital to spot called Clements Inn, not far distant, where between two of the great law court buildings that arc situated there was found aa opening just large enough to admit tho body of dog. There was found piece of ragged-edged glass, and the adjoining pavement being covered with blood stains proved the place to havo been the scene of the accident. An intimate friend of mine, MT. William Hutt, a book seller, whose store is il Clements Ian, writes mo that one of the littlo terriers who took part in this curious drama was hls, while the other be- longed to his brother. And thus the chain of evidence was established.

Among tho patents granted by {

Among tho patents granted by the United States patent office is one to Mr. E ias E. Rics, O. Baltimore, for a new method of removing ice and moist ure from railway tracks, electric rail- way conductors, etc., by means of elec- tricity. It i, asserted that by this new electrical method ice and moisture can be rapidly. eff actively and economically removed from the surface of railway track in advance of sn approaching train, prom oting safety to tho passen- gers and preventing tho loss of power and time due to the slipping of the To- comotivo driving wheels upon tho rails. An additional advantage in the case ol electric street railway, is, says the Bal timore Sun, that it permits of their suc- cessful operation even under the mos, adverse conditions of the weather, and prevents leakage of the current.

Something Beyond.

 bright. 'It comes from the snn. it comes from the
 soil,
 It comes by the farmers who toll and moil. B So said my father; but on his knees Knew there was something greater than

 Out of my window used to lean. The long shining ribbons bonny and green Fiuttered and floated and through the soft
 gloom
 looked for the wondrous, invisible loom That wove the bright corn. "It comes

 these.
 Down in the corn on midsummer day looked for the years that were hid1en
 away.
 O little green cradles lined with soft silk. Holding the young corn white as new
 milk!
 Isaid to the blue sky, "Where can it be, The heart of this beautiful my stery. In the sun, and the soil, and the warm

The Lion Among tho Fl6N0lA

Here in this garden-nook alone. Lies an old lion of gray stone
 Once, in the longgone golden hourL A lordly lion, proud in state, The guardian of manslon-gate--
 Now he lies low among the iowerA Then, oft he saw the shining doors, Heard light feet fall on festal floors,
 Heard music wake Its witching din; Then danced beneath the torches blaze The knights and ladies of old days,
 While he watched over all within. Now, he lies here; in his old age Cast out, rejected, by the rage
 Of tune down-beaten, broken, scared, An old gray lion; yet not less A lion in his feebleness-
 One thing is left him still to guard. He guards it well, by night and day, In those great paws of granite gray,
 In the strong shelter of his breast; No man shall serve him yet with scorn. Though an old lion thus forlorn,
 And all he guards-a robins nest

 MT. Perkins took out fresh bun llo of quill pens and quire of legal fools cap and began to work in good earnest, when, all of sudden, tap came 10 his office door.
 "Como in," said MT. Perkins, in a voice that sounded considerably more like ''clear out" and a young lady entered, dressed in currant-colored merino, with little plumed hat and a neat-looking flat satchel on her arm.

 'Because there have been at leas three of your craft before you thi morning." said he, "all selling Illus t Vitcd Lives of Great Men'"

 'That is what every body says" sh answered, ''and between you all should starve. You are lawyer. Will you give me some law copyinga"
 "Can you write clear and legibl hand2" Mir. Perkins asked.
 The young lady sat boldly down at desk by the chimney piece.
