THE HADING VEIL.

In softest, sweetest lengths it trails
Ger budding charms and fading,
This arch coquette of all the wells,
The one they call the Hading.
Its quaint and pretty dots may blur
Eyes merry, sad, persuading;
A mystery is the plant shirr,
That makes mask of Hading.
It falls below the rounding chin,
A flounce of lace parading,
And gathers dancing dimples in
Its folds, the jealous Hading.
No rude spring winds can chap the face
Of beauty promenading;
Some other chap, and time, and place,
Must dispossess the Hadingl

Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is a good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when she is
young she never will 1t takes a great
deal more neatness to make a girl look
well than it does to make a boy look
passable. Not because boy is better
looking than girl, but his clothes are
of different sort-not so many colors
in them; and people don't expect a
boy to look as pretty as girl. A girl
that is not neatly dressed is called a
sloven, and no one likes to look at her.
Her face may be pretty and her eyes
bright, but if there is spot on her
cheek, and her fingers ends are stained
with ink, and her shoes are not laced
and her apron is dirty, and her collar
unbuttoned or her skirt torn, she can
not be liked. Learn to be peat. and

The chickens scratched my pretty beds, the
dogs upon them ran,
The cats pi ched battles on them fought, the
cows ate all my corn,
And q hog that tried to bite me always rooted
there al morn.
Then came a drought that burned to dust my
garden; then food
And pelting hail and hurricane turned every
thing to mud;
Then, like the plaques of Egypt, swarmed upon
me flies and bugs,
Inch worms, moles cut worms, locusts, cater
pillars, crows and slugs.

And got myself so dirty that always missed

All summer long wrestled, while my perspir-
alton drops
think would fill the barrels / had ready for my
crops.
And though wasn't able to supply one dinners

took the prize of champion for raising famous

But afterwards my troubles and experience be-

NEW NAVAL TERROR.
England's Latest supply Ship Quick
Fighter and Fast Sailor.

England's Latest supply Ship Quick
Fighter and Fast Sailor.
A new acquisition to England's navy
was launched recently and christened
the Vulcan. She is designed as twin
screw torpedo-depot ship, but is a fast
protected cruiser and formidable
fighting craft as well, and represents an
entirely novel type.
The construction of the Vulcan was
begun on June 16, 1883. She is of 6, 620
tons displacement-lar short,
than any of the large Indian troop
ships and three times as large as many
a cruiser. She is built of steel, her
hull alone weighing 3, 40 tons, and her
principal measurements are as follows:
Length, $50 feet; beam, 6S feet; mean
draught, % feet. The vertical keel is
of an unusually heavy and substantial
character and is 8 feet and inches
high. The cast-steel U-shaped stern
post is extra strong, weighing five tons.
The vessel is divided into numerous
water-tight compartments. and is pro-
tected by a continuous steel deck 6
inches thick in the slope and p inches
elsewhere. The engines are OF the
triple expansion type and will give a
collective indicated horse power under
forced draught of 10000. They will
drive the ship at speed of 20 knots
(23 miles) and Is knots COZ miles) at
sea. There will be storage for LOCO
tons of coal, an amount sufficient for
5000 miles at IL knots an hour. She
will have balance rudder similar to
that fitted to the Spanish cruiser Reina
Regent and to the lnman steamer City
of New York. This will enable the new
war ship to turn a complete circle of
not more than 400 yards in diameter in
little over three minutes.
AS a torpedo-depot ship she will be
admirably adapted for the work. She
will be a floating factory, full of forges
and workshops for the repair of torpe-
do boats and torpedoes. She will
carry an immense supply of torpedoes,
submarine mines, and all the necessary
gear for submarine work on large
scale, and she will also have upon her
decks a small fiotilla, probably eight in
number, OF second-class tOrpedo-boats
of the largest size. These she will be
able to hoist overheard and dispatch in
all directions at few minutes notice.
The Vulcan will also have a torpedo
armament of her own, consisting of
six launching tubes, some of which are
to be under water. Regarded more
particularly as a cruiser, she will pos
sess qualities which entitle her to rank
among the most formidable unarmored
cruisers of the world She will have
weapons which at close range will
be capable of penetrating armor up
to nearly sixteen inches thick. The
quick-firing armament will be the most
powerful of any ship in the world. 1t
will enable her to discharge on each
broadside a storm of eighty to one hun
, dred and fifty projectiles minute; and
should she ever be attacked by unar-
mored cruisers or topedO-boats, she
would be able to give them a warm re-
ception. N. Y World.

POINTS FOR SMOKERS.
How to Carry the Fragrant Havanas With
out Breaking Them.

How to Carry the Fragrant Havanas With
out Breaking Them.
Here is a point for smokers: 1t IS
given BY a man who not only smokes
cigars very frequently, but sells them.
He says if you will carry your Gig
ars in your waistcoat pocket with
the mouth end down there will be
less likelihood Of the tobacco becoming
broken or the wrapper being unrolled
than if YOU carry them with the match
end at the bottom. Here is a second
point: If YOU are billiard player, don't
put them in the pocket on the right
side. for the constant moving Of the
arm in the manipulation of the cue will
wear upon that side, and, if it does not
result in crushing the tobacco, will so
loosen the wrapper that the smoking Of
the cigar will be an annoyance rather
than a pleasure.
And here is third point: If there is a
slight feeling OF nausea, take a drink
of water to clear the throat, and if you
would be sure absolutely of preventing
any serious sickness, throw your cigar
away and stop smoking altogether for
an hour or 50. Another point which a
gentleman who heard these three ad-
vanced suggested is that if by any
cause it becomes necessary to let a
cigar go out, it will be a good scheme
not to take final puff, but to make a
blow and expel the smoke from tho
burning end. This clears the roll Of
tobacco from the smoke, and, even if
the fire dies out, it will be found upon
relighting that the cigar is of good fla
vor. In fact, an expert has said that
if a really good cigar will be improved
by letting it go out, following this plan
and then lighting it again. Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

A Hint That Was Understood.

The story is told Of Rev. Canon Mel
vile, who has just resigned the rectory
Of Great Whitley, Worcestershire, which
was presented to him by the late Earl
of Dudley in 1857; that at the time the
living became vacant Mr. Melville was
attached to the household of the de-
ceased nobleman in the capacity of
chaplain, and having to preach at Wit
ley before his noble patron, he boldly
declared his desire to become rector OF
the parish in a sermon founded on the
text: Lord. remember David" (Da-
vid is the Canon's Christian name.
He repeated that text again and again
with much JUNCTION. There was no mis-
taking his desire expressed in it; and
Lord Dudley gave him the living. N.

American Indians use rising smoke
to give signals to distant friends. A
small fire is started, and, as soon as
it burns up, grass and leaves are
heaped on the top of it. Thus large
column of steam and smoke rises. BY
covering the fire with blanket, the
Indians interrupt the rising of the
smoke at regular intervals and the
successive clouds are used for convey
