The GOSSiDs

thought 1t might make matters worse; But all of the gossips had "guessed' it Whenever they chanced to converse; There wasn't much use in pretending To give 1t no serious thought The gossips had ''guessed d." and the ending k Of that was, os0tt. And now consider it duty To publish the actual truth: I'd offered my heart to a beauty, Concerning whose wisdom and youth The highly inquisitive people In Gossipville talked themselves hoarss Until 1t was cried from the stee pie: EngagedF Why, of eoursA So out with the secret so precious, And bankrupt the wealth of heart! The loss of it-let 1t refreah us With myriad sorrows that start. And here's to the gossips that "guess"it AS much as they please, for they show They've settled her answer as "Yes"-tt Was only 8 '.No."
 P. Mederst, in Harper's Bazar.
 Ny Sweetheart.
 Oh! my sweetheartl
 Not coy is she.
 Each morning She gets in bed with me.
 She makes 8 little dash, And, though sleep as sleep the dead, she wakes me as she pounds my head
 And pulls at my mustache, And gives me many shake. "You dear old uncle, waker Then move slightly, with 8 great pretense Of drowsiness and dull indifference
 And then she gives another shake "You dear old uncle, waker' And then make 8 sudden, mighty start And laugh and draw her down beside my heart (Gulp down the thought that comes that I'm alone Try to forget that one Hfe's had its wreck), And feel a soft cheek laid against my own, And small, warm arms wound tightly round my neck,
 And it's "Oh! and ohl
 Hove you sor' And then cuddle her and say how sweet Sho is, and that I've half a mind to eat
 Her bodily, and still it's "Oh, and ohi Hove you sor' And thus we make great love-
 Oh, my sweetheart

CuriOsities of Art,

The failure of the great copper syndi-
cate ruined NJ. Secretan, of Paris, last
spring; consequently his vast picture gal
lery had to be put under the hammer.
The collection brought over S1,124, 900.
Foreign art galleries were represented at
the sale. but the bulk of the pictures was
bought by Frenchmen. Itshows that, in
spite of so called hard times, debt and
mutterings of revolution, there is still
vast amount of money in France.
A strange instance of the malignity of
fate is that of Millet, the great artist
who painted The Angelus." This was
the gem of the Secretan collection, and
the one the French government pur-
chased for $4,000 to be placed in the
Louvre. 1t just missed coming to Amer
ica, and the contest over it was most
lively. But if the spirit of poor, modest
Jean Francois Millet could have looked
down from the heaven where good
painters go upon the bidding, very
grim smile indeed must have fitted over
the angelic features. For Jean Francois
MiIlet's life was one long struggle with
poverty. This very painting of "The
Angel,ls" he himself sold thirty years
ago for $500 Once he sold himself and
all the work he could produce for three
years for an allowance of 81, 400 a year.
And even now, when miIlionaires and-a
government contend for the possession
of his great picture, his widow Is fight
ing poverty still, too poor to keep a
home. the cottage he left her, over her
head. It is to be hoped that there is not
anywhere else in the universe a world
like this.
There were sold 191 pictures in all.
Next to the Millet the pictures that
brought most extravagant prices were
those of Meissonier, of which there were
81. A painting the size of ones two
hands sold for $4,000. It was called
"The Wears Wine" Another Meisso-
onier, ''The Bowl Players at Versailles =
81 BY 79 inches, brought $4,000. Bowl
Players at Antibes," A by inches, sold
for $4,000. A number Of other Meis-
soniers, ranging in size from 4 by 2
inches to 5 by 9 in size, brought prices
ranging anywhere from %, ,oOs to s18, 600

A Very Black Republic.

The Hon. Frederick Douglass has been
appointed minister to Hayti. But which
Hayti? Which "concourse of idle mig
gers" as Carlyle called them, will re-
ceive his credentials? If he presents
them to Legitime, as he is instructed to
do, the followers of Hyppolite would
not hesitate to blow his stately and
handsome white head off if they got
hold of him. International comfy is
rather hazy down there. If Fred goes
to Hyppolite, then Legitime's captains
will "hoodoo" him sure enough if they
catch him outside of home with valua-
bles about him. Black enough is the
"Biack Republic just now, certainly.
The mission of Mr.. Douglass is one re-
quiring more delicate diplomacy and
genius than is the case with all the rest
of the foreign appointments put together.
We extend to Minister Douglass our dis
tinguished commiserations.

Illiterate PHYSICIANS.

DR.. Horatio G. Wood, of the Pennsyl-
vania university, comments sharply on
the ignorance Of the average American
physician. He does not believe that 20
per cent. of the graduates of medicine in
America could pass the examination re-
quired for a license to practice in Ger
many. Consequently an American di-
ploma has no meaning. 1t is quite true
that some of our N. D. 8 do not know
how to spell very well, and the grammar
they use would make schoolmistress
howl. It is also true that we are turn
ing them out at the rate of thousands
every year, so that there promises pres
emily to be a doctor to every ten men.
But there is no way to stop it, no way
to elevate the standard of American
medical learning, unless the different
states pass laws fixing a more extended
and thorough school education before
the medical studies are begun.

LAWYERS Prosecutions.

A good example of lawyers persecu-
tions is furnished in the Mellow murder
trial at Charleston. The ordeal to which
the ''Swiss maid," who was the cause of
the quarrel, was subjected, is enough to
make every honest man and woman flush
with indignation. Mary Burdayren was
examined closely and told the simple
truth. Nothing was brought in evidence
against her. In her sphere in life she
was an honest girl of good character. It
was not her fault that the free and easy
DR.. Mellow cast his eyes upon her favor
ably. She told the whole truth in a
modest, self possessed way that deserved
praise. Yet the lawyers browbeat and
insulted her and worried her with their
impertinence for two or three hours. It
was simply shameful the way the girl
was bullied and scolded. Is it a neces-
sity of the practice of the law that an ex-
amining counselor shall forget all the
common rules of courtesy, if not decency,
that govern him at ether times?

Tho Guise Familistere.

Attempts at profit sharing with en-
rloyes are being made here and there In
large industrial establishments, with a
view to ascertaining how far this plan
would so towards settling the question
of capital and labor.
At Guise, in France, In 1860, was
founded the Familistere, profit sharing
factory. 1t was an establishment for
the manufacture of heating apparatus.
At its head was NJ. Godin, who wrought
out the plan of it on the socialistic model
of Fourier. About the same time enthu-
siasts in America sought earnestly to put
Fourier's theories into practice. The
millennium was to descend on earth bod
lily through living together in associa-
tions holding property in common and
performing labor share and share alike.
Hawthorne, Horace Greeley, Charles A.
Dana and Father Hecker were some of
the powerful intellectualities fascinated
by Fourier's shining schemes. Fifty
communities were formed, one place and
another, in the United States. Every
one of them failed. Father Hecker,
however, profited sufficiently by his ex-
perience to turn Roman Catholic, which
he was not in the beginning. and found
the great and influential order of Paulist
Fathers in the church.
The one establishment that made a dis
tinguished success financially was the
profit sharing factory at Guise. The plan
is this: Weekly wages is fixed at sum
which will enable workingman to live
and maintain his family decently. The
workmen receive higher wages than in
similar establishments elsewhere and the
hours of labor are shorter. When man
is i'll he is supported by the sick fund;
when too old to work he is pensioned.
At the end of the year per cent. on the
capital invested is deducted from the
profits. Certain other amounts are de-
Quoted for four funds-education, sick,
poor and pensions. What is left is called
benefits" and it is distributed among
the employees. One-quarter goes to the
manager and heads of departments
three-quarters to the workingmen.
NJ. Godin has been at the head of the
enterprise during the nearly forty years
of its existence. He says the scheme has
paid handsomely from the financial
point of view. His salary as manager
is very large one, but the factory pays
that and all expenses, and yields good
profit. A great saving is effected in the
waste and wear and tear of tools and
machinery by the profit sharing method.
When workmen know it will add di-
rectly to their profits to take care of
things and be economical, they will do

Still it comes booming-English CAPT.
tai into America. A British company is
now trying to buy up the dry goods
business of the United States. A capi-
tai of not less than $50 ,000, 900 will be in
vested, it is said. Our protection laws
will thus be got around by John Bull in
dry goods, as they have already been so
largely in the book trade and in thread
manufacturing. One good result Of this
vast investment of British capital in
America will be that the two nations will
become so inextricably bound together
they will never dare to go to war with
each other. They will also be forced to
uphold each other against other nations
They will stand or fall together. There
is something not altogether evil in this
commercial brotherhood of the two great
English speaking peoples. It might be-
come the most tremendous alliance of
modern times

Of the two champions before the eyes
of the world, John L. Sullivan is said to
be the most magnificently developed
specimen of physical manhood now on
the earth. But he has bad temper and
loses his head, which puts him often at
q disadvantage. Kilrain, on the other
hand, has not the magnificent physique
of Sullivan, lat makes up for it by an
angelic temper and "an air of inteli-
gence that almost bellies his profession.
He has so much control that during his
training he was left to take care of him
self as to his eating and drinking.

The 4OOth anniversary of the discovery
by Columbus of the New World will
come in 1892. 1t is proposed to celebrate
the occasion by worlds fair. 1892 is
the year, and New York, Chicago and
st. Louis each thinks it is the place. The
preponderating sentiment favors New
York, however. The idea is a noble
one. Let us have an exposition such as
the world never saw before And while
we are about it, for very shame's sake,
let some millionaire cause heroic statue
of Columbus to be made and unveiled
then. 1t is burning disgrace that in
the world he discovered there is no mon
ument to Columbus.

The trouble between the British and

The trouble between the British and
French in Canada becomes more and
more serious. It is contest alike of
race, religion and politics. When the
French provinces were joined to British
Canada they received the promise that
their language should be preserved of
ficially. They have insisted on this even
to the point Of making speeches in French
in the Dominion parliament. A bitter
contest for political supremacy is going
on. There is one way to harmonic these
two warning elements. That is the union
