THE CITY OF THE DEAD.

They do neither plight nor wed
In the city of the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the hours;
But they lie, while DER them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And hundred happy whisperings Of howers
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision Is Of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In the burRh of by and by,
Where the streets have grasses growing, cool
and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song.
No. they neither sigh nor sing,
Though the robin be awning,
Though the leaves of autumn march milion
strong.
There is only rest and peace in the city of
surcease
From the failings and the wailings meath the
sun;
And the wings of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the biers,
Making music to the sleepers. every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them II seemeth best,
For they lie at ease and know that life is done.

THE TABLE NAPKIN
How Its Careless Use Mnrred the Career
Of Great French Critic.

How Its Careless Use Marred the Career
of = Great French Critic.
The law of the napkin is but vaguely
understood. One OF our esteemed
metropolitan contemporaries informs
an eager inquirer that it is bad form to
fold the napkin after dinner; that tho
proper thing is to throw it with negli-
gent disregard on the table beside the
plate, as to fold it would be reflection
on the host, and imply familiarity
that would not befit an invited guest.
But the thoughtful reader will agree
with us that this studied disorder is
likely to be a good deal more trying to
fastidious hostess than an unstudied
replacing Of the napkin in good order
beside the visitors plate. The proper
thing is to fold the fabric with un-
ostentatious care, and lay it onthe left OF
the plate, far from the liquids, tea and
coffee, and thus testify to the hostess
that her carein preparing the table has
been appreciated. The napkin has
played famous parts in the fortunes of
men and women. 1t was one of the points
admired in Marie Stuart that, thanks
to her exquisite breeding in the court
OF Marie de Medici, her table was moro
imposing than the full court of her
great rival and executioner, Elizabeth.
At the table Of the latter the rudest
forms were maintained, the dishes were
served on the table, and the great
Queen helped herself to the platter
without fork or spoon, a page standing
behind her with silver ever to bathe
her fingers when the flesh had been
torn from the roasts- At the court Of
the empire, Eugenie was excessively
fastidious. The use of q napkin and
the manner Of eating an egg made or
ruined the career Of a guest. The great
critic. Saint Beuve, was disgraced and
left on the visiting list because at q
breakfast with the Emperor and En-
press at the Tuilleries he carelessly
opened his napkin and spread it over
his knees and cut his egg in two in the
middle. The court etiquette prescribed
that the half-folded napkin should lie
on the left knee to be used in the least
obtrusive manner in touching the lips.
and the egg Was to be merely broken
on the larger end with the edge Of the
spoon and drained with its tin. = House.

A TARIFF LESSON.

People on Protection.
Mr.. Blaine says the present gener-
alton must be taught the benefits of
high protection. An excellent idea
If a young man buys suit of clothes
for $23, the amount of protection he
pays for it is 90. The clothes without
protection would cost $14.
If he buys a 81 hat he gets 40 cents
worth of hat and 60 cents worth of
protection.
If young couple just beginning
housekeeping buy yard of brussels
carpet for 81 they receive 45 cents in
carpet and IS cents in protection-or,
say, for q whole room, $l2 worth of
of carpet and $18 worth of protection.
With free wool $l8 would be saved.
If the young woman pays 50 for
shawl she gets IS worth of shawl only;
the other s. she presents to the manu-
facturer to protect him.
If she buys a dress for $l8 she gets
$12 worth of dress and $6 worth of
protection.
II, however, she wants pair of
shoes, which formally cost $3.50 to
$3.50, she has only to pay 81. so or S.
80, according to the quality, because
some of the protection has been taken
of hides from which the leather in the
shoes is made.
II she pays so cents for an iron pot
or pan she gets 80 cents in goods and
20 cents worth of protection.
If she buys clock for s. she re-
ceives 81 worth of clock and 81 worth
of protection.
If she wants sewing machine and
pays $50 for it, she gets I'll worth OF
sewing machine and 80 worth of pro-
lection.
If she pays SIC for a watch, $12
represents the timepiece; the other a
60 to protect somebody.
If she buys lamp for 81, there is
So cents in lamp and As cents to
keep the pot boiling" for some ''pro-
tected'' individual.
II she has to buy range or stove
for $25 she gets $17 in goods and IS
worth of protection.
If she buys dozen steel knives and
forks for $3.50 she gets about q
in knives and 81. so in protection.
If she buys dozen glass tpmblers
for 81 she receives in glass IS cents
and IS cents in tariff.
II a young farmer buys 500 worth
implements to start out in farming he
gets $55 in machines and as in tariff
wind pudding.
If the farmer purchases barrel of
salt for 81 he gets GA cents in salt and
pays s. cents in protection to COM
panies in Syracuse, Warsaw and Sagi-
nav.
Mr.. Blaine and Field Marshal Matt
Quay are at liberty to use these facts
in their new politieaf catechism for the
present and coming generations.

The Northwestern Miller publishes q
review Of the condition of the winter wheat
crop, compiled from extensive reports.
Following is portion Of its summary:
There has been a very decided change in the
weather conditions OF the winter heat district
since Feb. 10. With the exception OF some small
areas In Michigan and the States Of Pennsylva-
MIA and New York the entire crop IL now bare
of snow From the 18th until the 10th inst
there was more or less freezing and thawing
weather, from the 10th TO the 18th beautiful
spring like weather, followed by a very sudden
and severe freeze. The prospects now are that
there Is an entire difference in the coming out
Of the early and the late sown wheat, and
this season this will cut much more imporl
tant figure In the crop than usual, for the rea-
son that a very large percentage oi the crop
was sown late We are now IN the midst OF
the first critical reriod OF the trials and struR.

The movement Of winter wheat while IL has
been small so far during February out OF
