EDITORIAL NOTES .

There must be refuge! Men
Perlshed In winter winds till one smote fire
From nint-stOnes, cOldly hiding what they held
The red spark treasured from the knding sun,
They gOrged on flesh like wolves till one sowe&i
corn,
Which grew a weed, yet makes the life Of man,
They mewed and babbles TIL some tongue struck
speech,
And patient fingers framed the lettered sound.
What good gift have my brothers but 1t come
From search and strife and loving sacrifceo
Miss ELLA WHEELER WILCOX says:
When the average woman loves, all is
changed. Absorbed in passion, she ceases
to desire miscellaneous admiration and
lives only for the one.

The people of prosperous town have
faith in the virtue and truth Of God, and
they forge ahead as though they were
going to live forever and then have new
lease of life. The doubter and the growl-

Great 30 aparse-s Bones.

One of the most interesting sights in
Paris Is Napoleon's tomb, situated I'M
der the dome of the Invaiides, the
gildcd top of which may DO seen from
all parts Of the city. The emperor's
tomb is open for public inspection on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
This splendid mausoleum was con
structed by Nisconti and is twenty feet in
depth and thirty six feet in diameter.
The sarcophagus rises up from the cen
ter of the mosaic pavement, which
represents wealth of laurels;
twelve marble caryatides surround
the pedestal, between which are
stands of flags taken during
the NapolcOnic wars. Above the en-
trance to the tomb, which was in tho
rear. is the following inscription: $50

square in front Of the building.

He Could Make a Great Speech.

Senator Blackburn Of Kentucky, Is
not only peppery in speech, but is also
at times exceedingly grandiloquent,
though he Is not now so much given to
this falling as he was In the days of
his youth, as the following story shows:
One day when he was only Captain
Blackburn, he was engaged In arguing
case in Lexington, and his speech
was so full of high faluctin that it
rather bored his legal opponent, who
sought relief from it by going out on
the green surrounding the court house.
as be stepped from the door an old
hemp.raiser, who had followed him out
said:
.'Cap'n Blackburn is making great
speech"
"Oh, yes," sneered the bored attor-
ney. captain Blackburn is always
making a great speech. If you or l had
occasion to announce that two and
two made FOUR we'd be just fools
enough to blurt 1t out. Not SO Captain
Blackburn. He would say: If by
that particular arlthmetical rule known
as addition we desired to arrive at the
sum of two integers added to two inte-
gers we should find-and / assert this
boldly, and sir, without the fear Of
successful contradiction-we. repeat,
would find by that particular rule Of
arithmetic. properly applied-and sir,
hold myself perfectly responsible for
the assertion am about to make-that
the sum of the two given integers
added to the other two integers would
be four.'

Encyclopedias.

A correspondent of the Spectator
writes in support of the suggestion
that the twenty-four big volumes of
the Encyclopedia Britannica" should
in a future edition, be transmegri6ed
into a hundred OF proportionately re-
duced size. AS 1t stands, the work oc-
cupies an abnormal amount Of room
very much more than the ordinary
householder is able readily to afford.
And why. indeed, should encyclopedias
be made 80 elaborate as to admit Of be-
ing split up into a hundred volumes.
however smallp 1t may be said of al
most all our works of the kind that
they contain too much. They deal
with too many things, and deal with
them too fully. Dip into their pages,
and you come across, at nearly every
turn, not mere articles, but disserta-
tions-long-winded essays upon sub.
iects often recondite in the extreme,
and of interest only to a class. Now
encyclopedias should not be for the
few, but tor the many. They should
not be handed over bodily to the
specialists, who are notoriously bad
Judges of the place their particular set
of subjects occupies In the public
mind. They are apt to think it of con-
siderably more Importance than it is,
and to expand accordingly. 1t is the
business of the editor of an encyclo-
padia to keep his team in order, to
guard against their fans, and bring the
contributions within proportionate
limits. But how often has he the
knowledge, or the courage, requisite
for the duty? He shrinks, not un-
naturally, from curblng the eloquence
of writers whose assistance is too valu.

The Blindman's Dog.

Broadway and Twenty-ninth street is

night. having become interested in

heard the man ask the time of gentle
man who stopped to drop something In
the box. He was told it was 10 O'Clock.
The gentleman walked on and the man
called out to the dog: "Come, Tom. II
is ten, and time for US to 60 home. d
The little dog gathered himself togeth.
er, held up the box to the man, waited
until he took the money out and put It
in his pocket, buttoned his old coat
and then stood on the curb and exam
ined the cars coming along. Finally a
green one came In sight and the dog
drew the man out into the mud and
stood until it came along. The driver
evidently knew them, for when he came
to where they stood he pulled up and
they got in. I was assured that 1t was
a regular thing, and that the dog has a
remarkable faculty for faces. 1t Is said
that he even knows the people who give
aims to the old fellow, and never fails
to greet them with demonstration of
pleasure.

The Object of on.

That the main object Of conversation
ought to be pleasant companionship
would seem obvious enough; but the
fact, simple though 1t is, is often for
gotten, says the London Globe. Serious
people sermonize, scientific people lee
ture, and prosy people prose, as if the
end in view was moral improvement,
or education-or a quiet nap-all of
them certainly excellent things in their
proper place, but that place is not con-
versation. In these days, when intel
lects are more upon level, it is dill
cult to imagine one person holding
forty of his nelghbors, say at an after
noon call, with solemn airs and affec-
tations of superiority. The modern
drawing-room does not say unto the
prophet, ''Prohesy unto us, or to the
philosopher. "Give me Of your knowl-
edge;" it asks only for pleasant talk,
for small talk. for talk il which all
may share.

A Story About Sheridan.

Richard Brlnsley Sheridan, the bril-
liant author and dramatiSt and auda-
cious manager, was what the beaks Of
Scotland Yard would call q downey
cove. He was dining at a friends
house one evening and found himself
much beset by one of his fellow diners
of the giddy old maid variety.
"Ah, my dear Mr.. Sheridan" she
said, "I should so love to take walk
with you this evening""
The willy Sheridan was appalled, at
the prospect. ooh, dear me,' he re-
piled, with well-feigned regret, "my
Gear Lady Blank, II is raining cats and
dogs. I'm afraid shall have to forego
the pleasure until it clears off,"
Fifteen minutes later the alert spin
ster, who did not trust entirely to
Sheridan's sincerity. detected him in
the act of sneaking out by side door.
s'Oh, Mr.. Sheridanl" she exclaimed,
has it really cleared up? How delight.

The Gift of fDisagreeableness.

No one, we take it, enjoys being
hated. The sternest cynic cannot help
feeling something of pain when it Is
forced upon him that he is regarded
with distrust and aversion by his fel-
low men. The most phllosophic Of
temperaments do not rise above thrill
of pleasure at being greeted with un.
mistakable marks of popular esteem. Yet
there are those who seem to take so
small pains to avoid hateful ways that
they have small objection to being
hated. We have known men and wo-
men who, having natural aptitude for
being dIsagreeable, cultivated the gift
with assiduity and success-by tone of
voice, by word and act they were
continually giving offense to those with
whom they were thrown-as if they
found pleasure in it.
That the cultivation of such a dis.
position is most unwise, the persons
themselves would be ready to admit.
The trouble is, they do not recognize
it as their disposition. They fail to
perceive that what they say and do is
calculated to give offence, and are sur
prlsed that others should regard them
with dislike. Indeed, they are apt to
suppose that the failure to be on good
terms with those about them is due to
lack of pleasantness on the part Of
others. Like the juror, who pro-
nounced the eleven whom he kept hung
for many hours, the contrarlest men he
had ever known, they do not at all ap-
prehend that any of the trouble lies
with them.
A very large portion of the misery of
life arises from the rnwill1ngness or
inability of some persons to be agree
able. A disposition TO please and a
determination to do so, even If that
determination have no better founda-
tion than sel6shness. will greatly lessen
the friction of social intercourse. The
best tempered people have to exercise
self-control and self-sacrifice if they
would be always pleasant. The smile
and the soft word have often to be the
results of much repression. Much Of
the spontaneous feeling of the heart
has to be kept out of the look and
tone. BY such self-discipline it is
possible to gain, not only the reputa-
tion of being agreeable, but actually to
be 80. This culture of agreeable man
ners will increase the happiness of the
individual as well as that Of those
about him.

How Boulanger Made a Nuisance OF
Himself at Baltimore.

When Boulanger was In this country
as oone of the Yorktown guests was
the hero of a characteristic incident by
becoming enamored with a Washington
lady at whom he saw at a Baltimore
banquet. He could speak no English.
the lady could speak no French, but a
look may carry an acquaintance
league. Before the evening was over
the Generals devotion was in possess
sion Of the room. He followed the
lady to Washington, and there his at
tentions became so assiduous that the
lady became frightened and retreated
to an upper chamber, from whence she
plead illness. Nothing daunted, the
brave General planted himself at the
door with persistent regularity.
madame, has your daughter doc
tor2 Get one, get two. get threel''
:General Boulanger, rest assured my
daughter shall have all the medical at
tention her illness demands," replied
the intrepid mother, parleying on the
doorstep.
The general continued to make
fool of himself until his time for leav-
ing for Paris came. "Now that every
thing is over,', he wrote to the lady,
who was unaware that anything was
begun, Il beg you to remember that 1
am gallantman." Gun gallant hommel.

Twilight.

A single star burns in the blue
A star of pallid radiance, soft and fair
That dying sun kindles, enflames the West
ern air
With an aureola OF roseate hue;
The distant spires fade from view,
And evening shakes DER earth her raven
hair.
The nimhle shadows with light feet
Give chase to their own shadows, as they
fall
Among the trees or by the church yard
wall,
Or steal like culprits through the busy
street,
Bidding the worker think how sweet,
How very sweet is Home, blest spot of all.
Alb, Twilight with thy single star
Thy fair, pale star that wrinkles in the
blue.
And thy efulgent cIrclet of warm hue,
Thou are the portal to the Land afar,
The entrance to the Gates Ajar,
And fancy sees white angels passing
through,

Frank WINGED under this lash, but all
the same he was resolved to bear 1t in
silence. and the scales had fallen from
his eyes now, and he remembered tri-
fling incidents in their lives-Helen's
and his own which led him to believe
that he had thrown away a pearl.
He would seek to recover it again, and
was glad that the impediment Of money

And so Helen thought when the old
lawyer told her about it, and made her
understand how difficult 1t would be to
keep Frank long ignorant Of the pro-
visions Of his uncle's will.
Three months are brief measure
Of time as the ages roll onward. and
yet three short months are sometimes

upon our lives that years-aye, an age

Three months of penitence, of un-
obtrusive devotion to Helen, of evident
shame for his past conduct. and an un-
mlstakable determination to atone for
it If possible, on the part of Frank
Duncan, won the callous old lawyer to
believe In his sincerity.
And, better than all, it began to tell
upon the hard wall of reserve that had
grown up between Helen's unquenched
love and her pride till it fairly crumbled
away.
you forgive me at last, Helen; but
can never forgive myself for being so
stupidly blind and for having caused
you years Of pain besides,' said Frank
tenderly.

but let us who now live again live only
