man who got mathematically intoxi-

most ideal friendship. The former had
the chivalrous qualities of the man of
birth; the latter startled you by
strokes of genius. Some poets, like
Sainte-Beuve, stop short at the first
obstacle; Alfred de Musset snatched
the sacred fire by his passionate love
and by dint of intoxication. When
he was composing his Nuts he re-
quired not merely the light of twenty
four wax candies, u sun shining al
night, but he also needed this rise and

A Touching Obituary.

The following lines are copied from
the obituary column of a rural New
York journal:
ut is with deep regret that wo
chronicle the death Of Gil M,
of -, New York. He passed away on
Monday morning, March 2oth, after
an illness of little moro than three
days. We had been acquaint-
ed for five years. We began IN the
poultry business at tho same time,
both buying Wyandotte eggs Of the
same man. The writer soon gave up
tho breed and kept only Langshans,
But George kept his Wyandottes,
bought only the best, bred carefully;
and though we have seen many fine
birds, we know of few which lay more
and larger eggs or breed finer chicks
than his do. We have had many
fowls and eggs Of him, and would as
quick trust hIm as ourself TO ship eggs
or TO select stock. ."-Harper's Maga-

working factories taking seventy horse
power and to eighty-six various in

Paris offers specially good field for
this system, as the police regulations
do not allow boilers above the base
ment floor, and there are many indus
tries requiring small power which
could not economically employ sepa-
rate steam engines and boilers. The
gas engines offer many advantages to
the small manufacturers, but when
gas is as dear as it is in Paris it is not
economical.
These facts explain the great sue
cess of compressed air power in Paris,
and in less than two years its progress
has been enormous. In the inter-
val between Oct. 81 and Dec. 90, of
last year, seventy-eight horse power
additional has been supplied for mo

conditions under which alone the au-
thor by trade necessarily lives But
do YOU think he likes theml lncredl-

has had his day of illusion, you may
be sure. There was once time, long,
long ago. when he thought hc might
say what lay nearest his own heart;
might speak out to the world for good
or for evil. the truth that was in him.
Never mind whether the truth was
worth speaking or not; to him at least
it was all important. Hard experience
alone has knocked all that out OF him.
And to the end, for the most part, he
kicks against the pricks. He hates the
sordid, squalid necessity for earning
his bread by lowering himself to the
tastes of the public he must needs
serve with its daily literature. Slowly
and painfully he learns to take his
| place beside the maker of hats and the
importer OF latest Paris fashions, as
unit In trade that lives by pleasing.

ton in life, but he OF any rate must
have other ideals and other interests.

ConsolatIon for the Red Haired.

1t may be consoling to light haired
and red headed people TO read that
out Of 165 patients at tho Nrkbride
asylum only one has read hair,
and only four have light hair and
complexion. We venture the guess,
however, that that red headed chap
makes matters as lively as all tho
other 1C4 put together. II used to DO
supposed that a pale complexion sps-
cially marked tendency 70 mental ex-
citenent and brain disorder. The sta
tistics, however, show this TO be an
error. What Is true Of men Is also
true Of women; they are, with one eY-
hued. It is sometimes the case that
the hair turns white with insanity.
Probably the error arose from this fact.
The reason why dark people are more
inclired TO mental disorder has not
been explained. Medical Classics.

The TROOPER.

Only a common trooper
Firm and steady of hand.
Upon his charger sitting.
Awaiting the sharp command
Drawn up in line and squadron
For the kings parade aad show
And the multitude that gathers
On the wide. wide plain below.
There must the squadron sally,
Near the swaying sea Of life;
,ttacll, retreat, and rally.
As If in battle strife
Only a common trooper,
Unknown to any fame;
He wears the kings own colors,
But the king knows not his name
Tho loud command is given,
Away the troopers fly;
While laundering hoofs OF horses
Raise clouds OF dust on high.
Down past tho thronging thousands
like a whirlwind fierce and wild
When suddenly before them
Out starts little child
There's sudden cry os horror,
There are faces pale with fenr.
IN the awful contemplation,
or the danger drawing near
Straight toward the child the trooper
Oh, madly see him ride
In that mighty rush Of horsemen
None can stop or turn uside.
But the trooper as he gatlops
Bends downward to the ground;
He graspS the child In flying
And he holds him safe and sound.
Erect he dashcs onward,
No moment has he lost,
And with the child before him
Rides forward with the host.
The multitude applaud him
With loud huzzas and cries;
The king looks down upon him
With proud and loving eyes
Only common trooper,
And do not know his rame;
But has noble deed is written
on the scroll of deathlcss fame.
