George Herbert.

The annals Of English poetry pre-.
sent but few names Of greater distinc.
ton than that Of George Herbert, who
died on the Sd Of March, 1888. He
was born on April 3, 1898, and edu-
Gated at the University Of Oxford. Her
berts fame rests on posthumous pub
LEGATION. At his death he left manu-
script OF poems to be given to his
brother, with the direction that they
be published or burned, as the latter
saw fit. They were published at Cam
bridge in 1888, and in 1870 20, 900 cop
les of the poems had been sold, an ex-
traordinary number for the Seven
teenth century. The present en-
joyment of his verses is marred
by his quaint conceits and fam
tastic imagery, by which his pious
and often profound thoughts are
obscured rather than illustrated.
Herbert had passion for music and
wrote many of his hymns that he
might sing them to his flute and viol.

NOVELTIES IN STATIONERY.

CLARET corks with bronze, brass and COP
per busts and figures are much admired.
PILE of holiday cakes of china, laid cob
fashion, makes an ornamental tobacco jar.
DAINTY sachets in hand-painted satin en-
velopes of bright colors are in good demand.
PRETX stamp box represents cocka-
too's head. Natural feathers are employed,
aud the result is extremely life-like.
NOVELTY in writing sets is one contained
within Brobdignagian cigar. 1t holds q
paper knife, pencil, penholder and eraser.
A NATURALLY colored dog biscuit of bronze,
attached to which is a miniature pointer in
watchful attitude, makes an artistic cigarette
case.
PAIR of worn-out shoes attached to a
cane of the LA Tosca," order, makes a
unique weight. Bronze is the metal em-
ployed.
SMOKERS stands representing minil ure
houses, although not new, are always IN de-
mand. The designs are many, and all are
quaint and pleasing.
ODD paper knives are in the form of fiat
tened fish, in natural sizes. One can have
either mackerel, perch or smelts, according
to the size preferred.
A SILVER bronze ballet girl in airy costume
is unique design in call bells. Turning the
damsel's extended arms produce sharp,
clear ring from the metallic skirt.
NOVELTY in blotters is one designed to be
fastened to the wrist. The devise will
doubtless be appreciated by ledger clerks and
others who use blotter continually.
A POPULAR holiday inkstand represents a
salver holding bottle Of wine and various
fruits. The salver proves to conceal pen
wiper, while beneath the bottle is the we'll.
A MINIATURE billiard table, complete in
every particular, makes an odd inkstand.
The balls are fastened to the baize and the
cues are represented by the long cylindrical
penholder and pencil case. At each end is a
cut glass fount.
ANartistic Thermometer, recently imported,
is Of copper, and gold bronze, in the shape
of an enlongated pedestal topped with bust
OF Silenus. A gilt cupid at the base looks
wonderingly upward, and is evidently pre-
pairing to climb the shaft. The heat measur-
ing scale occupies the front of the pedestal.

Baggage Handled.

In the centennial year the number of pieces
of baggage handled by the Pennsylvania
railroad company amounted to 100000
which was the highest point reached up to
that time, and was then considereda remark
able record for the year. Those figures,
however, dwindle into insignifcance when
compared with those Of the year just closed.
In 1888 the number of separate pieces handled
reached S,200,0O0 representing an aggregate
money value of at least $500, 100000 These
figures only include outbound" baggage or
that which has been checked and forwarded.
The Unbound" receipts amount to about
