is constructed on land that was once the
site of such a mansion, and on ground that
was once covered by a monastery. Ceson
de Vendome, the legitimate son Of Henri
", became the owner of the Hotel de Mer-
cour through his marriage with Mile. de
Louraine, and he at once gave the house his
own name. 1t remained in his family until
1880, when Louvois bought it for 1000
francs. His plan was to erect there an
equestrian statue of Louis XIV, and as the
Capucine monastery interf9red with his
plans he had it pulled down, and then he
commenced erecting extensive buildings to
be used as private library for the king,
and as a hotel for foreign ambassadors.
The statue represented Louis Quartorze
dressed as an ancient Greek, his head COW
cred by flowing wig, and on his shoulders
a sort of beggar's wallet.

The truth Of the matter is the boy has
position of tremendous responsibility and
the fact that he does it modestly and well is
probably not observed by one out of a thou
sand. He begins at IL o'clock in daytime,
and his life is simply one whirl of anxiety
as to the safety and welfare of others. He
is always on his feet, with the exception Of
an occasional rest on his high stool at the
corner, and from II until 1880, a straighta-
way II hours, he does his duty persistent
ly, honestly and well. On toward mid
night, however, as the streets become more
and more deserted, his voice is not so loud,
nor his legs so nimble, and as traffic grows
less and less he becomes quieter and quieter,
and finally, as the 1880 owl car sinks over
the hill, the last figure to swing silently,
sleepily on board is that of weary and worn
out and manly Harry Wynne. NULL.

In comparison with the $36,00O,O00
worth of imports from Great Britain in
1887, the imports from the United States
to the Argentine Republic only amounted
to Sc, 364, ,545.
Ireland in 1879 had 5,265,625 inhabi-
tants, and the population just made up for
1889 is but 4,777,53 A decrease like
this is true of no other civilized country
in the world.
From the general results of the Swiss
census of December l, 1887, which have
already been worked out, it seems that the
total population is 1884 055, against 1885,
102 in 1880.
The school census of State is a fair in

numbers. Alabama shows three-and-a-half

per cent. for decade.
Statistics prepared by the Railroad Com
missioners Of Iowa show that in that State
alone, with 5000 miles of railroad, 352
brakemen were killed or injured in 1888,
because of the use of the common link and
pin coupling and the mandrake on freight
cars.
Out of $4,000 Federal offices only 81

gregate salaries of the appointive places in
the United States civil service.

rHE sHoREs OF GALILEE

The Sabbath morn was sweet to see
Upon the shores of Galilee;
Betwixt white clouds like lakes of blue,
The sapphire OF the sky shone through;
Where Magdalah once tlourished tair,
A falcon poised in languid air;
Mist fashioned into strange design,
Far mountains loomed in purple line;
sweet strains that swelled 10 choral close
From orleander copses rose,
And through the calm heG: doomed the bee
Upon the shores of Galilee.
Beneath stirred leaves along the marge,
The swelling fig grew ripe and large;
Perpetual summer seemed to rest
Upon the waters tranquil breast.
No white sail swept the lake along,
There rang no soaring worship song;
Bethsaida's razed walls were dumb,
And silence sealed Capernaum;
Gray old Tberias alone
Upreared its parapets OF stone;
And yet what joys II was to be
Upon the shores Of Galilee
Here trod his ever-patient feet
In twilight cool and noontide heat:
Perchance beside yon fountains brink
He paused awhile TO rest and drink,
And blessed the children at their play
Before He took His onward way.
These are the waves He bade be still,
That even now obey His viii;
1he same sky throws its arch above
AS when he taught His creed of love;
The same winds blow their blessings free
Upon the shores of Galilee.
And though wild desolation now
Rests on the shores and mountains brow,
The living words that here had birth
Have zoned with glory all the earth.
They dwell in prayerful hearts afar
Beneath toe New Worlds zenith star,
And spread where blue Pacific smiles
Upon her peaceful palm girt isles.
And When in years TO come. with men
The lonely land shall teen again,
Revered Of all His name shall be
Upon the shores of Galilee.

As Wise as a sernent.

A marvellous but well authenticated
snake story comes from the old town of
Guilford, Chenango county, n. Y. Mrs.
Enos Barrett, wife of well-known farmer,
was at home the other day alone and at
work in the kitchen. Suddenly she heard
the front door of the house open with a
click. On investigation she found Bis
black snake of the vicious white-throated
species making tour of the hall and par
lor. Mrs. Barrett pluckily tackled the
snake with broom, but soon found that
she had undertaken too risky task. and
she sailed out for help. The reptile was
killed after making desperate fight for
life, and was found 10 measure six feet and
two inches in length. 1t had opened the
door and obtained entrance to the house
by tie neat burglar trick Of eoiling around
and turning the knob Of the door lock.

DIFFERENT PRONUNCIATION.
Tom is old enough to appreciate occa-
sional chances for earning his own pocket
money, but never buys anything without
bringing some home to mamma. That
lady was suffering with nervous headache
when her 10-year-old boy whooped into the
house with bag of peanuts. She declined
the proffered feast, but Tom coddled her
long while before he could be induced to
withdraw his attentions. When fairly
started munching peanuts his mamma said:
"You better go on the porch, Tommy
Those shells are annoying"

EVIL BE TO HIM WHO EVIL THINKS"
Little Lily is innocent as the flower
whose name she bears, and has that sera-
phic countenanee of gentle little blondes
which makes her dearly loved. The babe
has, however, one dropping eyelid that on
an upward look gives her face a comical
expression. Uncles Ned and Hal were
discussing the date of Aunt James last
visit. Ore claimed it was before, another
after Lily was born. Mamma was called
in to decide and said it was after, as Aunt
Jane had nursed and named the baby.
Gazing upward with one blue eye half
shut, Lily solemnly asked, Mamma, did
Aunt Jane born me?"
A FUTURE FLIRT.
In the San Francisco boarding-house
where Eva lives she is popular little girl
owing to her affectionate, cheerful DISPOSE
ton. When other children are "raising
old Ned" with their racket, "We-we,' as
she calls herself, will be seen wandering
alone through the halls singing to her doll
and happy in herself. All the bachelor
boarders pet "We-we," but that may be
because her handsome young "Auntie
Grace" is belle and heiress.
Among them is a tall, -whiskered
lawyer, the acknowledged ladies' favorite,
who makes a point of sitting beside
"We-we" to wait on her at table. One
day while dining the child kept up con-
tinual chatter and in the absence of the
mother "Aunt Grace spoke rather
sharply: EVA, be still; you talk too
much" Usually the child would cry un-
der reproof, but this time to everyone's
astonishment she laid down her spoon,
looked straight at her aunt, and delivered
this shot: 'sIf was drate big man vii
