The Modern Girl.

The last quadrille l ever saw well
danced (and would have given half my
wits to have Joined hands in) by Jessie
and Victoria Vokes, with Fred and Ro-
sina. was in truth not quadrille, but
beautifully flying romp. But Joanle
(Mr. Ruskin's cousin) could always
dance everything rightly, having, not
only the brightest light and warmth of
heart, but a faultless foot-faultless
in freedom, in its swiftest steps rising
and falling with the gentleness which
only Byron has found words for

The Dinner Pail Brigade.

At eventide, when all the tasks are over for
the day,
When saw and hammer, pick and drill have all
been lain away,
When daylight hides bemnd the gatherlng
shadows in the west
And night lets down its curtains 'twixt the
worlds of toll and rest:
Then in the din and hurry of the ever-crowded
street -.
That puisates to the treading of a million
weary feet,
In broken lines and numbers and in homely
There bastes to- friends and fireside the dinner
pail brigade.
At early morning, ere the fainting starlight
scarce had gone, ,.,,,z
Or blushing sunbeams climbed the deW-"asheo
stairway of the dawn,
The kindly hands whose loving deeds the eafGh
shall not reveal
Provided from an humble store the slmple
Again before his going did he linger at the
door
To saw the fond good-by and feel the kiss of
love once more,
| As memory called back the day when she, a
trusting maid,
Was mated to member of the dinner-pail brl-
| gade.
With saw and plane and hammer, and with
lathe and mold and drill,
The workers all are toiling at the factory and
Where each is daily striving with an earnest
hand and head
To win the peaceful battles where the victory
is bread.
A modest, cozy cottage is their coveted do
| main, +,
Within the hearts of loved ones is the realm
where they would reign,
And fair and happy pictures are the ones pS
Within the hearts of those who form the din
ner-pail brigade.

Where the Apostles Are Buried.

All that now remains of the Apos-
ties of Christ are in the following
places: Seven are in Rome-namely:
Peter, Philip, James the Lesser. Jude,
Bartholomew, Matthias, and Simon.
Three are in the Kingdom of Naples
Matthew at st. Salerno, Andrew at
Amalfi, and Thomas at Ortona. One
is in Spain, James the Greater, whose
remains are at St. Jago de Compos-
tella. OF the body of st. John, the
evangelist, the remaining one of the
twelve, there is no knowledge. The
evangelists Mark and Luke are also
buried in Italy, the former at Venice
and the latter at Padua.
St. Paul's remains are also believed
to be in Italy. Peter is, of course, buried
in the church at Rome which bears his
name, as are also Simon and Jude.
James the Lesser's remains are ii
the Church of the Holy Apostles. Bar
tholomew's in the church on the islanC
in the Tiber which bears his name.
Matthias remains are said to be un,
der the great altar of the renowned
Basilica Little faith, however, is
| placed in the legend.

She Remembered.

You never can tell what will fix itself
in woman's memory, but most of the
time she remembers only what she
wears. l called at the house the other
evening where several ladies happened
to be calling, too, and the conversation
turned on opera. Somebody said some
thing about Mime. Albani. Il am so
sorry" said one lady, Il did not hear
Albani sing" "Yes, you did," said
another. mo, 1 couldn't 60, and l
was quite brok6n-hearted." Indeed
YOU did hear her, because was there
the same night, and L saw you sitting
in the dress circle, and you had on that
pretty little hat with the pink feather
- "Oh!-so l did. L remember
now. Certainly. heard Albani."

The Coolest Spot.

The coldest region in the United
States is the stretch of country on the
northern border from the Minnesota
lakes to the western line of Dakota. At
Pembina. which lies near the 49th par

in the great storm of the winter of
1873 was 56 degrees below zero. This
is believed to be the lowest tempera-
ture reached in the United States.
