To a Tired Mother.

little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee which has so much to bear,
A ehild's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch OF tangled hair;
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF fwarm, moist fingers holding yours so tight
You do not prize this blessing overmueh;
You almost are too tired TO pray tonight.
But IL is blessedness, A year ago,
did not see IL as do to-day.
We are so dull and thankless, and too slow
20 catch the sunshine. till il slips away
And now il seems SURPRISING strange to me
That. while l wore the badge of motherhood
l did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought Inc only good
And II. some night when you sit down TO rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee,
The restless curly head from OF your breast
The lisping tongue that chartered instantly
If from your own the dimpled hand had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again,
II the white feet into the grave had tripped.
wonder so that mothers ever fret
Al little children clinging to their gown.
Or that the footprints when the days are wet
Are ever black enough TO make tOwn.
II could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber hoorI
III could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear IL patter in my home once more.
II could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite TO reach the sky
Ihefe isuo woman in Gods world could say
she was more bllssfully content than l.
But. OH the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rlrapled with shining head.
Ny singing birding rom its nest has flown;
The little boy USED to kiss is deadi

What Women Can DO.

She can do more in a minute than q
man can in an hour, and do 1t better,
Six of them can talk at once and get
along first rate, and no two men can do
that.
She can throw store with a curve
that would be a fortune TO a baseball
pitcher.
She can sharpen lead-pencil if you
give her plenty Of time and plenty OF
pencils.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her
dress while he is getting one under hi,
thumb nail.
She can-but what's the use? a
woman can do anything or everything
and do it well.
She can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-ive years after tie
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can come TO a conclusion without
the slightest trouble Of reasoning on it;
and no sane man can do that.
She can dance all night in a pair OF
shoes two sizes too small for her, and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can walk half the night with a
col cky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire of numbering the
infant.
Size is as cool as a cucumber in half
a dozen tight dresses and skirts, while
a man viii sweat and fume and grow
in one loose shirt.
! She can talk as sweet as peaches anL

The Lieutenant Was a Little Bit
Too Clever for Him.
y General, with plenty of time on
his hands, one day stood in the window
to watch the people passing in the
street While thus engaged he noticed
one of his officers who was without a
sword-a grave misdemeanorl
"I'll make him smart for thisl'' the
General exclaimed. Ten minutes

The Lieutenant meanwhile approach
ed. all unconscious of the impending
storm. When he was within earShot,
the General called out:
''Sir, come up here; 1 want 90 speak
to youI''
The officer looked up and perceived
his superior; he remembered that ne
had left his sword at home, and knew
what to expect. Unfortunately there
was no means of escape, and he had To
face the difficulty as best he might.
| The Generals face was beaming with
delight. lie had found an opportunity

his weed. The Lieutenant stepped IN
to the house, and, i'll passing through
the ante-room, he espied the sword of
an orderly hanging on the wall. THE

ling the sword, he assumed AN air of in.
nocence and opened the inner door
saying:
"You have done me the honor to cal

The General started at his unwilling
visitor in speechless amazement.
"Then there is nothing else you have

"Na toi, nol' the General answered
''Only never go out without your swor,

The officer promptly avaIled himsel

AND now the guns of the Vesuvius-
about which there has been more
OF less doubt, have more than met
contract requirements, and It Is
expected that the vessel Will
be accepted and at once put into COM
mission. Her destructive power Will
be enormous. Each of the 30 shells
she is to carry will contain 200 pounds
OF dynamite, and il has been demon
strated that she can throw all OF them
or GOOO pounds of dynamite "a distance
OF one mile in three-quarters OF an
hour. Full caIibre shells may be made
TO carry 500 pounds Of explosives each,
and 20 of them may be fired IN haiI an
hour. 1t is believed that with llttie
practice the guns Of the Nesuvius may
be trained more accurately than those
loaded with powder. The trajectory Is
determined not by elevating or depreSs-
ing the gun, the charge or powder being
d1ed, but by regulating the air pres
sure back of the shot, the guns on the
Vesuyius being fixed in position ne

a Negro VINO Handled Millions.

Few If any persons in this country
have handled more money, and checks
bonds and other representatives OF
money than Uncle" Henry Logan,
the messenger of the Register of the
Treasury. He is a colored man past
10. as punctual as the hands OF clock, :,
and as trustworthy as burglar-prooi
safe. His principal function Is TO carry
checks, warrants, bonds, ETC., to and
from the Registers Office, where they
have to be signed He has been doins
this for twenty-five years, with scarcely
a days absence during all that time.
lie has handled a large part Of the
bonds and currency issued by the Gov
ernment. and the warrants that have
been drawn upon the Treasury. The
aggregate IN dollars, If it could be fig
ured out, would go up high into the
billions. Express companies are paid a
fixed sum per mile for every thousand
dollars they transport for the Govern
ment, and if 'Uncle Henry? had been
paid at the same rate he would now be
rolling in wealth. He receives a salary
of STD year, and on this modest in
come he has been able to buy home
and raise large family
Uncle Henry held his place all
through Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
tion. and bids fair to remain until the
indrmities of age compel his retire
ment. His black face and white halr
are in striking contrast. His pleasant,
grandfatherly ways make him a gen
eral favorite in the department. He
SAYS he hasn't any politics.
