Why, are the young girls 30 pleased with the daisy as school flower? Ia it not be- cause of it's beauty aud purity? There is
 many maiden would ask no more taste full adornment than bunch of daisies in her belt. The little children delight to gather them by the armful, and return from their botanical excursions with huge bouquets of this simple flower. I have of- ten seen such bright-eyed foragers half hidden by. the miniature forests of the daisies they were bearing home. And then consider, too, how maidens and matrons alike encourage the jewellers of all nation, alities towork up our field daisy into inf nite varities of ornamentation for brace lects neeklets, earrings, breast pins, sin gle and double pendant and fixed, in lines oblique, direct, square and curved in every possible form in all the richest minerals, in every color and even the diamonds are called in to add their sparkling lustre as centers in tribute to the daisy. Beautiful mosaic work employs the daisy as it's sub- ject. The carvers m wood and metal de- light to labor upon the daisy in their en- riching work. z In less mechanical pre- sentations the artists and engravers give us their reproduction of nature in the daisies of the field. Mgrever, it is flower which grows by the wayside and is equally con- mon as a hothouse plant prolific as a weed and yet choice enough to bring flor ists' charges in its season.-Hev. F. f.

Great credit is due the New York Fri bune for the work of charity 1t has been doing each summer for many years. Its fresh air, fund has been the means of giv- ing thousands of poor and wretched tene- ment children in the great city opportuni- ty to spend at least two weeks of their lives in the country where they could breathe pure air and exercise their little bodies in fields and highways. Up to the close of last week 2, ,294 children had been sent into the country this summer, being 1,259 more than during the same period in 1888. The manager of the fund has no trouble to find homes in the country for the. children, and greater number would be benefited if the subscriptions to defray travelling expenses were more numerous and generous. The money contributed is used for travelling expenses only, and there is no leakage or waste in the operation of the fund. This is charity that quickly disposes of the money given, 1t is product i've of health and happiness, and the Tri- bune's appeals ought 10 meet with a prompt and hearty response from every benevolent person.

New York Sun: Gen. Pryor tells an amusing story. When he was in England defending the Irish patriots he was quite desirous of spreading his views before the British public. It is much harder to get at an English editor than at an American,
 but finally communications were establish ed, and one evening there was subdued knock at the door of his room in his hotel.
 "Come in," said Gen. Pryor. The door opened about six inches, and through the aperture sidled dilapidated specimen of humanity. Softly closing the door the di. lapidated specimen put his dilapidated hat on the floor, and, lowing humbly, uttered, ssGen. Pryor, T believe. stYes, I am Gen. Pryor; .whatsca do for you? ?" "I am 8 reporter, sir, and Twas sent to ask you if you would give your views on the American aspect of the Irish question ?'
 Everybody who knows Gen. Pryor we'll knows that he is one of the most affable of men, and in this case he meant to be par ticularly pleasant, for he wanted to be in- terviewed. But, forgetting that he was not in New York, he followed the usual practice of statesmen in this country, and began with, "My dear fellow, I really haven't any thing to say,'' intending this, of course, as prelude to long converse tion. What was his iastonishment when the specimen grabbed his hat, genuHected still more humbly than before, eiaculated, 'sThank yon, sir thank you, sir. and dis appeared. To have a.reporter give up the struggle so quickly so surprised the gen. eral that he really sat in hisc chair paralyze for the moment, and before he could re- cover the Englishman had gone and the interview was lost.

nNOW LAY ME.n

The Wichita tKan) Eagle says the following poen as left at the office by an unknown man, who cam ask for work.
 Near the camp-fre's flickering light, In my blanket bed I lie, ,4s .s Gazing through the shades of night At the twinkling stars on high. Ger me spirits in the air
 Silent Ygils seem to keep. As breathe my childhood's prayer, Now l lay me down to sleep" Sadly sings the whippoorwill In the boughs of yonder tree, Laughingly the dancing Till
 Swells the midnight melody. Foemen may be lurking near In the canyon dark and deep- Low breathe in Jesus' ear:
 ''I pray the Lord my soul to keep" Mid these stars one face sse- 6 One the Saviour turned away Mother, who in infancy Taught my baby lips to pray. Her sweet spirit hovers near,
 In this lonely mountain brake Take me to her, Saviour, dear,
 If I should die before wake" | Fainter grows the fickering light, As each ember slowly dies; Plaintivsly the birds of night
 Fill the air with saddening cries Over me they seem to cry:
 "You may never more awake" Low lisp: "n I should
 Ipray the Lord my soul to take" ''Now lay me down to sleep,
 pray the Lord my soul to keep; If should die before I wake,
 pray the Lord my soul to take"

The Now Haven Register tells how James Kane, New Haven saloon proprie- tor Oil State street, near Mill river, was ar- rested for violating the liquor law in sell ing on Sunday. He paid the penalty of $50 and costs. It has been a great wonder to his friends and perhaps to himself how he happened to be captured, and this is the way it was accomplished
 ssThe police had long suspected he was violating the law. But they couldn't get 8 case on him. He was as clever as the po- lice. They watched him and set all the usual traps by which they are ordinarily successful in enterprises of this character. On this occasion they resorted to new dodga Before daybreak, on Sunday morn ing, detail of police took position in a house near the saloon. They could not obtain view of the saloon there, but could distinctly see the top of East Rock near the monument. Not far from the monument was stationed Policeman Col. lett. He had spy glass and with it com handed an excellent view of the saloons Sunday entrance.
 | s'Thd detail watched the top of the rock in hopeful expectation. Finally white handkerchief was waved in the air. The detail saw the signal, left the house imme l ulcUtttOIy hlu AAuiOhSu tO kAO oC curing all the evidence necessary for sure case against the proprietor. It was tre mendous surprise.
 "The spy-glass which was used by tht rock D. policeman was borrowed from tho East Rock restaurant. It was loaned gra tuitously in the belief that the policeman was anxious to see the sights in the harbol and to look far over the Sound.

WHAT 'sSAND" WILL Do.-The saloon keepers association of Cincinnati voted to defy the law requiring them to close their places of business on Sunday. Imme- diately on reading it Gov. Foraker wrote to the mayor of that city
 Do not tolerate any defiance of law. No man is worthy to enjoy the free institutions of America, who rebels against duly enacted statute and defes the authorities charged with it's enforcement. Snite every manifestation of such spirit with swift and heavy hand. I do not make these suggestions from fear you need them, but only that you may have any assurance they may afford you in the dis charge of the duty to which you are called by the action of the Turner Hall meeting of yes terday, the proceedings of which have just read in the papers J. B. FoRAKER.
 Three days later at another meeting the saloon keepers voted unanimously ''that we hereby rescind our former resolution, and will keep our pieces of business closed on Sundays so long as the Owen law is in force"
 A Hartford druggist says that in his opinion the frequent poisonings resulting from the eating of ice cream are caused by the Tonka bean, which is used as flavor ing instead of vanilla, which it resembles. lQo IOlka Doan COSLS aDOuG QOllar pound, while the best vanilla bean costs from fifteen to twenty dollars pound The cheap extract of vanilla is, in his esti- nation, what does the mischief, and he is sustained in this theory by his examina- tion of the e-cream which occasioned the poisoning at Glastonbury recently, and which he found to have been favored y the Tonka bean. Moreover, he says, with referel co to this Glastonbury case, ''there was one lot of vanilla cream made in the same freezer, but favored with another make of extract, which did not cause sick ness. This Tonka bean business will have t. be looked into. If poison turks in cheap 'svanilla" favoring, then there is good reason to shun that article for ice cream or any other domestic uses. The best is always the cheapest.

 We have had printed a list of Summer Reading with their prices Aere; sent free to those who write.
 The book trade of summer mostly runs upon those easy killers of time that while away dull hours of waiting between the inevitable driving and bath ing and meeting of husbands trains and other more stimu- lating pleasures. What if there were no broad piazzas and lounging chairs and hammocks and grassy lawns? What if no mountain view of distant hills and valley below? What if no cooling breeze and dash of spray? The summer book gives an added zest to their exhilara- ting breath and sight and feeling. It takes one into the clearer air of the mountains of thought by the open sea ofspeculation. An ounce or two of fblackened paper between two lids of a book what wonders of unexpected revelry are in them!

In the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Ia ble," O. w. Holmes shows that in "the person named John" there were, for all practical purposes, two distinct entities, ''John as he thinks himself" and "John as we regard him." outside of the third problematic individual, "John as he &C., tually is." A singular counterpart to this idea occurs in the use of the photograph. It is found that few persons, if any, know the sound of their own voice. When sev. eral persons in succession have spoken into the machine, each may recognize in repro ductlon the voice of friend or acquaint. ance, but does not identify his own, which often sounds to him harsh, unnatural and ''uncanny."
 Very few persons can hold their own or their first sea voyage.
