Making . etstns.

 When the artist has conceived in his mind fairly definite Idea for statne he sets about his businsa In the following manner: He takes piece of board about e large e an octave book, and upon this he sets up miniature for his intended statue in mod cling wax ese n soft clay This sketch, as it is called, design, which Is usually from six Co ten inches high, he builds up bit by bit, mAnip7lating 1t with his fingers and with small carefully formed tools of wood, called "modeling sticks" These ere to the sculptor almost what brushes are to the painter
 In making this design 1t is usually necessary, if the statue s to be in erect position or not sup ported by solid masses, to arrange that copper or lead wire runs inside the body and limbs of this miniature figure to support the soft clay or wax. This wire support, or skeleton" as 1t h called is in Its turn held up at . proper distance from the board or ground by piece of thicker wire or thin iron, sufficiently rigid to bear the weight of the miniature figure, that all the limbs be moved about independently, and are in fact as in nature, suspended from the trunk.
 In modelling this sketch it is not desirable to attempt great accuracy subtle detail of any kind but rather to compose the work, that Is to gay, to arrange the direction of lines and % that the work may eventually prove to be properly bal anced and intelligible from every point of view. This supposes that the statue is to be seen from all sides but If 1t Is intended for niche this of course will not be necessary, and the back view may be sacrificed in favor of parts which will be seen. The making of this sketch model can be accom- plished at an ordinary table any where else where there Is good light. 1t requires not more than three or four hours to complete 1t, if the idea be already clearly formed in the sculptors mind since Is merely the fixing Of that idea in tangible form SO as to secure its presence to be referred to the set ting up of the ull-sized statue.

IEdustrious. Exchange.

The industry of an old lady in a west bound railroad train greatly amused the other passengers On coming aboard, st a small town, she hastily seated herself and making her shining knitting needles fly half finished blue and white stock ing before the train had left the station
 Seated at her husbands side, she knitted on and on. needless of her surroundings and the bits of charming scenery of which one could get glimpses from the windows. Just before sunset the train came to the place where neeting vieE of Niagara Falls can be had.
 "Look mother look !" cried the husband of the old lady, as he threw up the car window.
 With her eyes fixed steadily on the stocking, the old lady knitted on, while her husband rugged ct her sleeve and again cried out:
 "Look mother, quick, or it'l be gonei Why don't you look? Pshaw it's gone, and mebbe you'll never have another chance to see Niagara Falls! Why didn't you look?"
 With her eyes still fixed on the stocking the old lady calmly replied;
 "Just because was turnin the heel of this stock in, that's why. never could turn heel neatly am look about at the same time, an this heel had to be turned !"

ana mAko fortune for himeelf For months he had met indifferent mccess.
 His letters came more rarely and told of only disappointed hopes Then they ceased altogether The lady told how her agony grew to be almost greater than she could bear. Then came e letter which changed everything. Her som had met . friend-the best man, the old lady asserted, that ever lived-and he had lent her boy a helping hand and since then he had been successful and every month he had sent his old mother money, until she had been able to save enough to come and take him by surprise. It was to thank this mAtchle@ friend that the old lady had come vest we'll As to see her boy.
 The letters spoke of the stranger only as Jim, and 1t was on this Jim that the strongest feelings of gratitude were lavished by the mother miles away. He not only saved her boys lhe but he cared for him when he got well took him into partnership and enabled him to satisfy his ambi- tions. When this good mother had finished her story she found the eyes Of the gentlemanly look ing man fixed on her with almost terrified ex- pression. When he saw, however that be was ob- served he restrained himself and sank back into his corner In the same old listless attitude
 That night the stage with Its four passengers, reached the very heart Of the mountains But . change had apparently come over the travellers. For the first time the old lady and the two pros- pectors slept peacefully, and the gentlemanly man in black gszed eagerly into the dark mig ht from the window at his side. Suddenly 6 number of figures sprang into the road, 6 voice commanding and stern ordered a halt, and dozen pistols were pointed at the driver and through the windows of the stage. For 6 moment the traveller In black seemed surprised, then throwing the door open by which he sat, he sprADg into the roai and before shot could be fired at him his voice rang out above every other sound.
 "Stop!" he cried "Its me It's Captain Jim T" For a moment he stood by the side of the stage surveying the masked men who at the first sound of his voice. had lowered their weapons. His eyes finally rested figure taller than the rest stand ing near the horses heads. In A few peremptory words he ordered the two prospectors who had been his fellow travellers to alight. When they had obeyed Captain Jim strode to the figure he had singled out, and seiziDg him by the arm dragged him to the stage door. Then he tore the handkerchief from his struggling companions face lifted him bodily into the stage, saying be did SO: "Sid, get in there and hug your old mother !"
 As Captain Jim led his men and the two pros- pcctors away from the stage the lady's voice from inside followed them, crying "My boy my boy ! Thank Godl"

A Rustic Bridal Couple.

Here Is the way the editor of the Thomasville (GA) Enteyprtse describes a common everyday wedding: "I pronounce you man and wife," said Judge Mitchell In his office Wednesday morning to Miss Ssllie Stephens Dellie Myrick, couple who had stepped into the judges to be made one. And they walked down stairs, up the street and out into the glorious country, where the birds were sing ing the golden harvest being gathered and the lit- tie rils singing on their way to the sea where the sky was blue and the air pure; where the wild flowers were blooming; where the gentle breezes were whispering through the pines; where the aroma of new mown hay permeated the surround ings; where the song of the reaper was heard ; where the grazing herds were seen where the sum- light danced through the overhanging boughs where the green grass-natures carpet-was spread out where field and forest and hill and dale alter hated where the husbandman titled his fields where the flower -bordered paths ms.ndered through wooded lawns, and where Dame Nature opened wide her arms to receive her children.
 Happy rural couple Happier they than many who go from Hymen's altar to gilded halls where wealth glitters and fashion sways; happier they than many who start on the untried journey of matrimony from flower -bedecked chAncels hap pier they, in their rural simplicity, than many bridal couples who tread Brussels carpets hap pier they, in their rustic country home, than many who dwell in stately mansions. Their vents are few and simple. A glittering diamond would have special attraction for the bride and the groom cares not for 6 swallow tail coat. They are satisfied with their lot and in this the secret of their happiness. Better 'tis 'tis 90.

To loves embalmed in tears. my friends,

Wen drink the loves of other days

We'll drink to the dead and absent ones

Beloved of loug ago.
We know not which shall fall asleep
The first; whose call the first shall be,
Whether my tears for You shall fall,
Or you bend over me;

Here sleeps heart truth called it's own
God keep it pure and happy still,
In sight of His white throne.

Greene, the wife of the only negro
who voted the Democratic ticket in
