ANGEL AND CHILD.

Beside cradle for space
An angel paused, and bent to lool,,
And seemed TO see his own pure face
AS In the mirror OF brook.
Dear child, that so resemblest me-"
= He sweetly said, 'ah, come nwayi
Together we shall happy be,
Thou nrt too good on earth to stay.
."There Is no perfect bliss below,
For even pleasure has its sting;
Each song OF gadncss chords OF woe,
Each Joy Its sigh of sufferingl
"oh, then, must trouble and must fears
Impair the beauty Of thy browg
Must sorrow dim with bitter tears
Those eyes, where Heaven is shining now
"Nol MOI The flowery armament
The fields Of glory for us wait;
Tow'rd thee doth Providence relent
And saves thee from an earthly fate.
@Let none wear mourning in thy home,
For all should be as glad, dear child,
This day that bids thy spirit roam
AS when thy blue eyes earliest smiled.
"Let no face there show sorrows sign;
Let no one deck the house for death,
For when the soul Is white rs thine,
The latest is the happiest breathr
And speaking thus, the angel wide
His snowy pinions waved and fed
To where the pure for aye abide.
Poor mother, see Thy babe is deadl

cago Herald.

LEARNING A LESION.
rwo Women who Thought IL the Proper
Thing to Find Fault.

Thing to Find Fault.
Two well-dressed women hustled into
one of the numerous ladies' restaurants
Of the shopping district day or two
ago, and after rejecting several tables
that were offered to them as they passed
through the room, finally found salts.
factory places in well-lighted conner.
They were important and finical from
tho first At the beginning OF tho meal
ono found her spoon sticky and the
other thought her napkin damp, and 80
on-all valid ground for complaint, per.
haps, except that the manner of crit
icism and the general effect Of the
critics were OF nature to arouse the
suspicion that the restaurant table and
service were equal If not superior, to
those associated with the homo ma
hogany.
A very civil and patient waiter, how.
ever, managed to smooth the frequently
wrinkled rose leaves of the repast until
its end. While gloves were being drawn
on preparatory to departure one of the
pair, the larger and presumably the
more belligerent, signaled to the waiter
with portentous nod. He was at her
side in an instant, tearing off check
as he approached.
"Yes," the diner said as he reached
her, 81 want my check, but i want also
to ask" and her voice was easily heard
two or three tables distant, "where the
chef of this establishm ent gets his gar.
nish leaves-out of the refuse pail?"
The waiter, amazed, followed the di.
rection of her glance, and Sure enough,
there on the croquette dish, with the
small wisp of green remaining, was a
bit of potato pairing.
Seeing the effect she had produced,
the speaker continued: "Send the SUI
| perintendent to me, please" with a
really overwhelming air of reserve
force. But the waiter was forestalled.
The superintendent, who had already
taken observations, approached. lie

Afew words from her majesty put him

ceptions were making some accurate es.

ready.
'I am very sorry" he began with a
bow, "that the kitchen should have
been so careless. Madam may be sure
it will not 60 unreprimanded. But
he added with a lower bow, his glance
just indicating the we'll swept table
before him, 81 am very glad that Madam
has not allowed the blunder to interfere
with her appetite"
So he moved away. 1t was imperti'
nent, of course, but "Madam's" pom
posity and tardy complaint had rather
invited it, and the subdued smile on two
or three faces as the pair withdrew
without further comment, was not un
pardonable. Undoubtedly, however
that restaurant has lost a patron. N

ENTERPRISiNG WOMEN.
They Put the Houses OF the Rich In Or
der and Keep Them So.

They Put the Houses OF the Rich In Or
der and Keep Them So.
IN very quiet way two New York
women have set up q partnership busi-
ness that promises to grow into hand
some proportions before another twelve
months shall elapse. They are house,
cleaning contractors, and, although the
firm has neither advertised nor been in
existence quite one year, yet their or
ders are steadily increasing. They have
engagements ahead. The idea was first
started through hearing the constant
complaints of the householders who
leave town for the summer, and after
the tiresome process of swathing their
establishments in camphor and linen
are called upon to spend the pleasantest
of autumn days in unbandaging again
and airing their belongings.
This spring and fall cleaning is as
much dreaded by the Fifth avenue resi-
don't as by occupants of Harlem cot
tages. The more extensive and valu-
able their possessions the greater the
necessity for personal supervision. So
from the demand for exemption from
this duty has risen the supply of two
clever, capable and entirely reliable
women, who for a consideration offer to
relieve the burdened chatelain. Their
qualifications are given in the shape of
high reference and enthusiastic endorse
ments from those they have served.
They prefer to have house turned
over to them in the summer, in order to
get a clear idea of the mistress's taste
before bric-a- brac, draperies, and so on
have been removed. Fortified with this
knowledge, the contractors begin at the
garrett and guarantee to put every thing
in apple-pie order to the last load of
coal il the cellar. Under them work a
corps of carefully picked and trained
paiut and window cleaners, with others
whose solo business it is to wipe fres-
coed ceilings and walls, brush and polish
furniture, wax floors, turn mattings,
freshen oil-cloths, and put pictures, mir
rors, and ornaments under cover during
the hot weather. They arc personally
responsible not only for the quality OF
their work, but the honesty of those
they employ and breakages that may
occur Every shade in the house Is
taken down, cleaned and rehung; drap-
cries busted and returned to their re-
spective places. Chimneys are swept,
beds undergo thorough inquisition,
carpets are laid, and every piece OF
brass in the place reflects the integrity
of tho workers. Those who gave the
partners a trial last spring, and were
satisfied of their ability are having
them put affairs in order against theil
return from Europe or country cottages
Indeed, so we'll were they liked thai
one OF the young women has visited
Newport with several of her assistants
and closed two Of the great houses
there. They represent luxury, 1t II
true, where ladies have high priced ant
trained servants, but when the wear ant
tear on ones temper, the accidents ant
delays attending the opening and clos
! ing of house are taken into considera
tion, the Arm stands chance OF hbera

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Claimed by an Hystcrical Young Woman
as Her Husband.

rs Her Husband.
A well-known young bank clerk, who
resides not thousand miles from Wal
nut and Twenty second streets, had q
fright yesterday that will cost him sew
eral years growth. He left the bank
ut the usual hour and arrived home as
the family were sitting down TO dinner.
Just as he was about to take his place
at the table the door was thrown open
and young and handsome woman,
neatly attired and lady-like In appear
ance, burst into the room and rushing
forward, threw her arms about the
young mans neck, crying hysterically:
my husband! / have found you at
lastp'
The young man gasped for breath and
would have fallen but for the support
Of convenient chair. His father, mother
amaze. For few moments chaotic
silence brooded over the tableau, punctu-
ated only by tho strange young woman's
sobs deep down in the young mans
waistcoat. Pater familas rapidly ar
rived at the conclusion that his son had
either married the young woman and
deserted her, or ought to marry right
away, but before he could put his ideas
into sentences, the young man found
his tongue and pitifully protested that
he didn't know any thing about 1T; in
deed he didn't. Whereat the young
woman clung closer and sobbed more
wildly, emphatically announcing the
while that he was her dear husband, and
she would not give him up--no, never!
Then she became further excited and at
tempted to remove the young man from
the room bodily, vie ct armis.
But here parental authority came to
the rescue and interposed, and after a
short, sharp struggle the young man
was delivered from his tormentors
arms. They were separated by the
width of the room and explanations de-
manded. At first the young woman de.
clared that the bank clerk was her own
and only husband. But gradually, as
her eyes cleared of tears she began to
detect certain features not entirely in
consonance with those of her lost hus-
band, and she finally confessed that this
was not he. In explanation of the
dramatic incident she stated that heI
husband had been from home for three
days, and that while looking for him
down town she saw the young man afore-
mentioned, and mistaking him for her
husband she had tracked him to his lair
and cast herself upon his bosom without
further ado. She offered profuse apollo,
gies, but positively refused to divulge
her identity or any other fact in her
singular case.
1t was narrow escape for the young
bank clerk, however, and now whenever
any good looking young female displays
more than the most casual interest in
him he shys violently.-St Louis Re-
| nuhlic.

AN EXCELLENT BARGAIN.
The Purchase of Louisiana from the Gov
ernment of France.

ernment OF France.
Bonaparte, on behalf of France, to
which country the territory belonged,
sold Louisiana to the United States in
1903, during the presidency of Thomas
Jefferson, because Q) he was aware that
if he attempted to retain it it would be
wrested from him, either by the United
States or by England, and because (2) he
needed the Sl5, 900 which the United
States paid him for it to aid him in his
war against England and her allies.
The United States thus came into pos
session of about 900, 900 square miles of
territory, or about $4,000 square miles
more than the domain of the original
thirteen States. That is to say, the ac-
QUESTION of the Territory OF Louisiana
more than doubled the national area.
OF course. the present State of Louisiana
formed only small part of this terri
tory. 1t extended from the Gulf of
Mexico north to tho Canadian line, tho
Mississippi river being its eastern
boundary, while it stretched along tho
Gulf westward to the Spanish possessions
ut the Sabine river, and along its north
erly end it reached westward to the Pa
cific. The territory included the pres
ent State of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis-
Souri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Ne
braska, South and North Dakota, part
of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, all
of Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and
the Indian Territory. There was a dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain as to the ownership of
what is now Oregon and Washington,
but British claims to those regions were
eventually renounced. The territory
added to the United States in 1S4S, as a
| result of the Mexican war, was about
523, 900 square miles in area.-St. Louis

HINTS FOR COLLECTORS.
More Particularly for Those Who Do Nc
Have Too Much Money.

More Particularly Tor tnOSe VINO 10 MOI
Have Too Much Money.
A few hints of general character may
be useful to the collector whose knowl-
edge has not yet been bought in the
market of practical experience. Let
him avoid in the first place, servile
following of the fashion. Let him avoid
giving an extravagant price for any
thing. Tho shortness of his purse is
often an actual protection to the col
lector. 1t makes him use his wits and
gain that knowledge which his wealthy
competitor never attains to. Take
pictures, for example; the rich buyer
fills his gallery with what he is pleased
to consider masterpieces of art. lie be-
gins in ignorance, and the dealers-the
whole crowd of those whose business it
is to minister to his vanity and extract
his gold-take care that he shall never
learn more than they choose to teach
him. When he dies he leaves his col
lection to the nation, in the firm conf
dence that the buildings in Trafalgar
Suuare will be forthw with enlarged to ac-
commodate so priceless treasure in its
entirety. There would be little rest for
HIS oplllb SOuAN hS ANhA ~ NHN
the trustees have selected three or four
works out of many hundred as alone
worthy of place in the national collec-
tion.
The poorer collector, having devel-
oped faculty which stands him in the
stead of gold, builds up his fabric in a
more humble and tentative fashion.
Recognizing that great works of great
men are not for him, refusing to look at
Raphaels or Correggios at any price, he
secures good works by unknown men,
contenting himself with slight sketches
studies and unconsidered trifles from
the studios of artists whose reputation
| is established. Such works give him
nearly all the qualification that can be
derived from pictures, and, viewed as
investments, have constant tendency,
as the auctioneer says when he tries tc
elicit bid for some atrocious daub, tc
grow into money."-Blackwood's Mag

GRACE IN FORGETTING.
No Virtue In Continually Bemoaning the
Misdolngs of the Past.

NO Virtue In COntInually beinoanlnE 0he
.Misdolnes of the Past.
There is grace in forgetting as well
as in remembering; there is genius in
knowing what to discard rs we'll as what
to keep; and both these are the invari-
able possessions of q successful and
efficient life. No man of conscience
can forget his sins; no man of judgment
can forget his mistakes; but he does
not carry them with him. What he
does carry is the experience which has
como to him through them-the
strength, the wisdom, the grace of char
acter which have been developed by
what they have brought or what they
have taken away A mans real life is
always before him; the past is only
valuable for what he can learn from it.
The days fade from all distinct recol-
lection because these artificial divisions
of time are of no consequence except as
character has grown or degenerated in
them. A mans greatest achievement,
on CO accomplished, begins Immediately
to recede, and becomes less and less in
his eyes. No really great man has ever
reposed or any thing which he has
done; there has always been the con-
seriousness that he was greater than any
expression he had given of himself, and
that the real satisfaction and joy of his
life lay, not in the work, but in the do
ing of it. One task succeeds another,
one experience follows another, in end
less succession; mans work is never
finally done because his life is always
expanding, and the time vii never come
when this law of progression will cease
to operate. There can be no Heaven
which is not heaven of development.
1t is = great waste OF strength to make
ones faults and blunders and sins i'm
pediments in the onward march. There
is no virtue in continually bemoaninR
the misdoings OF the past Real repent
ance is not lamentation, but girding ur
the loins for the work of expiation. Lei

Imnsrtlnence Punished.

There is supposed to be no protection
against the rude, open stare with which
a well-dressed lady is so often regarded
when she enters street car whore
men are passengers. The other day a
stylishly-dressed lady entered an ele-
waited railway car at the city hall station
in New York. Half dozen pairs OF
optics were at once directed az her, ex-
amining every part of her costume from
her neat boots to her pretty bonnet.
The lady was evidently annoyed. She
looked out of the window, then read the
signs on the opposite side of the car
in her effort to appear unconscious OF
the attention she was receiving. AT
last she turned upon her tormentors.
beginning with the most obstinate
''starer," she looked with the intense
gaze of connoisseur at his feet. The
experiment worked perfectly. The man
turned red in the face, crossed his feet
nervously, and looked outof the window.
Having disposed of this one she turned
her attention to the pedal fixtures OF
the next man. He drew them under the
seat and began to read his paper Each
one was served in the same manner,
and having routed her tormentors the
lady walked from the car at Fourteenth
street with the pleased expression on
her face of person who had found a
solution to q difficult problem.-N. \.

POSITION FOR SLEEP.
From Lecture by j. III. Kellogg, NJ. DE-.
of Battle Creek Sanitarium.

From Lecture ny ID. He b's
of Battle Creek Sanitarium.
The best position for sleep is as near
q horizontal one as possible. With per-
sons who have tendency to hyperemia
of the brain, it is better to sleep with
the head somewhat raised. On the other
hand, in anaemic conditions, where the
blood supply is insufficient and the
brain with the rest of the body, suffers
from lack of proper nutriment, it is the
best plan to sleep with the head little
lower than tho feet. My attention was
first called to this some years since by
seeing half starved Italian beggar boys
sleeping on the hlllsides around Naples
with their heads downward. Their in
tuitions had led them to adopt the posi-
ton for sleep which the low nu-
tritive tone of their systems made most
desirable-a position which to one very
full of blood would be almost sure to in
duce congestion Of the brain. Over
taxed students or nurses who sometimes
fall asleep in their chairs do not awaken
with normal feeling of refreshment, Tor
the brain has not had fair chance to
recuperate. To sleep with the head
high on bolster is very perincious, not
not only that it robs the brain, but 1t
tends to make the shoulders round and
the spine curved. 1t is better to sleep
without any pillow atall. AS to further
| position, assume that which is the most
comfortable individually. Probably a
| little inclination to the right side is the
most normal position, especially II one
| goes to bed before the stomach is en-
firely empty since the pyloric opening
| is on that side.
AS to sleeping with the head to the
north which some advocate in order to
be in line with the magnetic currents,
there is nothing in it. The magnetic
north pole is several degrees away from
the geographical north pole, therefore
those who attempt to carry out this
theory fail in getting in line with The
| currents.

Strong Points or the Late styles.

The strong points of the dress of the
present are suitability and appropriate
ness. The toilet for the drawing-room
in no way resembles the gown suitable
for the promenade, and the woman who
confounds the one with the other finds
herself greatly at variance with the
canons of good taste and elegance which
happily prevail just now. The extreme
caprice, the luxury and elaborateness of
home and evening toilets are finely
counterpoised by the rich and studied
simplicity of those designed for the
street. The only fault of the latter Co.'S
tunes consists in the tendency to
lengthen the skirt, departure in the
wrong direction which can not be
checked too soon. For the rest, woman's
dress at home and abroad is just now
most commendable. Draperies are easy,
and skirts graceful, the ugly tournure
dead, the sleeves loose, and tight lacing
almost a thing OF the past, for women
now dress to walk, row, play tennis and
even cricket and base ball. They ride,
drive and breathe. Wool Is at a premium
for gowns and underwear, and common
sense shoes are "up head. IN. Y.
