IN THE DARK.


o, in the depths of midnight,
What fancies haunt the brain.
When even the sigh of the sleeper
Sounds like a sob of pain.
A sense of awe and of wonder
Imay never well define,
For the thoughts that come in the shadow
Never come in the shine.
The old clock down in the parlor,
Like sleepless mourner grieveS
And the seconds drip in silence
AS the rain dvips from the caves.
AndI think of the hands that signal
The hours there in the gloom.
And wonder what angel watchers
Wait in the darkened room.
And 1 think of the smiling faces
That used to watch and wait,
Till the click of the clock was answered
By the click of the opening gate,
They are not there now in the evening
Morning or noon-not there;
Yet I know that they keep their vigil
And wait for me somewhere.

Edible FLOWERS.

The flowers of an Indian tree, the
Mohwa, are mentioned by Mr.. P. L.
simmonds, F. L. S., as being most re-
markable on account of their large pro-
portion Of sugar, which reaches 63i per
cent. They fall off and cover the ground,
a single tree yielding many hundred
weights of corollas. These form-both
fresh and dried-a staple of food in many
places, and, as a rule, are eaten once or
twice day by the poorer classes Of the
wild tribes of Central India and in parts
of RajpoOtana, Bombay and Bengal.

PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.

The most dashing figure on horseback
that one sees in Washington is the wife of
Senator Davis, of Minnesota. She is tall
and perfectly proportional, with COM
plexion of pure red and white, dark curl
ing hair, and big hazel eyes trimming
over with fun. She would attract atten-
ton anywhere, but on horseback she is a
feast for the eye.
Mrs. Davis is out early every pleasant
morning, and has explored the country
all about the Capital. She has no horse
of her own, but rides Senator Plumb's.
She has modelled for herself an original
riding habit 1t is of jersey cloth, cut
princesse, with a double skirt. She
wears high boots and rides at any gait,
but likes pacing horse best.-Courier-

Riding a Bicycle Under Water.

The Boston Globe Is responsible for the
following story: The recent sinking Of
of the little steamer Carlotta in the Mer-
rimac River, Just below AIitchell's Falls,
was marked by a wonderful feat of BIZ
cyclist. James Webb and several other
wheelmen were on the deck of the
steamer Webb was mounted on his hi
cycle doing the ''stand-still' act. The
Carlotta, under full head of steam, made
a rush to ascend the rapids, but before
reaching them little rope broke and the
boat was thrown out of her course. Co
ing at a high rate of speed, she struck on
the smooth ledge which rises out of the
water at the foot of the falls with such
force that the boat was carried half her
length on the slippery surface. The pro-
peller then broke on the rock and the Car
lotta sank like bar of lead. Webb's
friends all managed to swim ashore with
no more damage than thorough wetting.
But Webb and his bicycle were thrown
over the side of the vessel and sank i'm
medistcly Webb is thoroughly at home
in the water, and when he went over
board he did not think of letting 90 of his
bicycle. 1t was too valuable to lose.
The wheel must have slid down between
two stones, for when the machine struck
the bottom it remained upright. In
stinctively Webb's feet sought the pedals.
and putting forth all his muscle, he ac-
tually propelled the bicycle over the
hard, sandy bottom, and up the ledge for
a distance of sixty feet. 1t can be easily
imagined what a cheer greeted the ap-
pearance of his head above the water.
There have been some people sceptical
enough to doubt this performance, but
when shown through Il water-glass the
wheels track in the sand they have been
promptly convinced. Webb has become
enthusiastic over submarine cycling, and
SAYS that as soon as he csn devise some
way of keeping up the supply of air he
will try for a one-mile bicycle record un-
