He was not more than five minutes in getting into it.
 According to statistics compiled by the Phila aelpha Mint and published in the {aqmrer of that city, the production Of gold has stead llv increased since 1881, while the production of silver shows decline. The total yield Of gold the world over in 1887 Is given at s97, ls9 795 and of silver sll6, 769 947. Should the present. rates of production eontinue-and there is no apparent reason why they should not-silver will grow relatively more valuable and gold less SO. which is exactly what the financial condition of the country demands.
 Talk of originality. says the San Francisco Chronicle. 1t was original and pretty. and an astonishing idea for an unsentimental man to conceive of. A lady up town was showing to her friends a very handsome ring her hus' band had given her.

Cancasian Pigtails.

One of the funniest fashions to us moderns was the pigtail of tho last century. whch some old people in this country clung to well iu the present century; but people were, al the period of their vogue. as much ashamed to be seen without pgtail as fashionable gentleman of to-day would be to go through the streets with one hanging down his back.
 There was one time and place. during the period when pigtails were go- ing out of fashion, N heio 0 tho DO sess.on of them was a genuine advantage, and saved the life of more than one man.
 This was at Naples in 1799, when the Italians took possession of the city, driving out the French Republl- can army and taking vengeance on all who were supposed to be in sympathy with Repubieanism or 'Jacobinlsm !"
 The counter-revolution was effected in tue name of the king of Naples and of the Church. and the revolu- tionsls called themselves the" Men of the Holy Faith" {SantaledstO. They went about putting 10 death all whom they suspected of being opposed to them in polit cal sentiment. and as they were mostly brigands from the country and knew nobody in Naples, they decided the question of man s politics by looking to see fl he had a ? gtail.
 The old-faslioned people of the country wore plgtails. but the French had discarded them. and the new fashion of dispensing with them had come in with the French. If the men of the hol faith found a man with out pigtal no protestations of loyal ty to king Ferdinand could save his life. A
 Soon after, however, the pigtails went quite out Of fashion in Naples, for Ro, al sts and all the rest; but the old Neapolilans continued to wear them. and concealed them under their coat collars.
 There is no telling.' they said; "they may come in handy some time?' They remembered the massacre of 179s and shook their heads.
 As for King Ferdinand himself, he wore his pigtail. not in secret like the rest of the ultra-Roy yalists, but hang ing boldly down his back. Nothing could induce him to remove it until in ISIS. when. an illness havng affected his head, his phy ysic ans, with great difficulty. induced the King to sacrifice his queue
 An Englishman who was in Naples at the time tells the story of the excite ment which this act of the King pro l duced among the Neapolitans. The Englshman was at public hall. where musical performance was in progress, when the Prince di -. one of tho Chamberlains of the King, arrived from the Royal Palace in a great state of ex. | citement.

Tired Eyelidls.

A young father in Port Huron im- provsed song with the above title while rocking his baby to sleep. and s Detroit music firm set it to music. and now all the babies in our block are singing fl. says The Free Press:
 "Iittie tired eyelds
 Now can scarcely peep
 Youfve played all the live-ong day
 Without a bit of sleep
 Hush my baby;
 Little tired eyelids now can scarcely peep" There is something the song that fills tired eyes with tears. We want someone to kiss the tired eyelids down. Mother ah, what pang the memory brings of when last we kissed her tired eyelids, after God had closed them with the white impress of infinite peace.
 Will the shut eyelids ever rise?
 70. friend no proof beyond this yearnlng
 This outreach of our hearts we need, God will not mock the hope He giveth,
 No love He prompts shall vainly plead. !" Happy hearts give expression 10 the song. Merry lips sing it's chorus and there is much babbling of talk and an underenrrent of silvory laughter, but back where no one sees her. sits a woman with head bowed down as she hears the lullabt:
 sAt eventlde when day is done,
 Her little toys aie laid away"
 An her tile tired erelids are closed her little day is done, Not all the passion tears and kisses of mother love could bid them open as once they did. fresh and dewy from the haven of a baby's dreams. Now on their marble whiteness ''the finger of Gods silence lies." and the mother weeps for the happy child whose siumbers need no lullaby:
 While angels fair their yigils keep"
