A JEWISH LULLABY.

My harp Is on the willow tree
Else would sing, o love, to thee
A song Of long ago
PeFehAnce the song that Miriam sung
Ere yet Judea's heart was wrung
By centuries Of woe.
The shadow Of those centuries lies
Deep In thy dark and mournful eyes
But hush and close them now,
And In the dreams that thou shalt dream
The light Of other days shall seem
To glOrify thy brow!
! ate my crust In tears to-day
As scourged went upon my way,
And yet my darling smiled
Ay, beating at my breast he laughed
Ny anguish eurdled not the draught-
Twas sweet with love, my child!
Our harp Il on the willow tree
have no song to sing to thee
As shadows round Us roll;
But hush and sleep and thou shalt hear
Jehovah'B voice that speaks TO cheer
Judea's falnting soul

looking at them that the Egyptians of
5000 years ago were little ahead Of the
New York of today in their devotion to
birds and quadrupeds.
Something of this veneration for the
brute creation has been transmitted to
the Mohammedan of the east, who per-
mits neither cats nor dogs to be slain,
but provides meals and quarters for
them. A learned pundit of that persua-
sion once expressed to the late S. S. Cox,
when minister to Turkey, his surprise
that Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals should be needed in a
Christian country. Our brilliant "Sun-
set" was not usually at a loss for words
either to conceal or express an idea, but
on this occasion he confessed that he
was routed by the unspeahable Turk,
and had to take refuge in the assertion
that this was the work Of the Blavatsl1y

that the gentle Turk believed him, but

Buy a piece Of common factory or
cheese cloth, or as many pieces as may
be necessary to make the desired number
of copies, each the size of the letter book
page. When about to take copies wet
the cloth, or several pieces if necessary,
so thoroughly that there shall be no dry
spots. This done wiring them out as
dry as possible with the hands. Now
place the oil sheet in the book and the
cloth thereon, and the leaf of the copy
book on this. Next lay the letter or
manuscript on this, and if another sheet
is to be copied add another oil sheet, q
wet cloth, the tissue leaf, and so on for
as many sheets as there may be to copy.
By this process as many as twenty
sheets may be copied successfully at the
same time, while the most expert with
the brush, or any similar device for
moistening the tissue leaves, will some
times fail ON single copy. We retired
our hair and felt brushes to make place
for the cheese cloth a number of years
ago. For typewriter work nothing ex.

cured as long as there is enough ink left

A party Of gentlemen were talking in

conversation about men and events.

unusual degree of business tact, nor was
it the case that his Judgment in matters
Of finance was sought by any Of his
acquaintance.
"If he was overly shrewd no one knew
it; if he anticipated any successful
achievements beyond the sphere in which
he moved he did not let any one know
Of this latent ambition that fired his
brain. Finally he drifted away from
these parts. At first he went to Savan-
nah. Soon after reaching that city, hay-

lady who had some means and who as
sisted him in pecuniary matters, he be-

oompressed Air Torpedo

Still another torpedo, this one the in
vention of an Austrian count, Buona-
corsi by name, has made its appearance
in the European naval and military
world. According to official and private
reports of the trials of this instrument
they were eminently successful, giving
results superior even to those obtained
from the Whitehead. The motive power
is compressed air, acting directly from a
reservoir upon the propeller without any
assistance or Intervention from machin-
cry. The propulsion is effected by twin
screws working inversely and giving a
velocity greater and more continuous. it

Some men are born for trousers. 9TH
ers achieve trousers and others have
trousers thrust upon them. Who that
ever saw President Arthur can forget
the beautiful folds of his trousers?
Neither large nor small, with no bag
ging at the knee, but falling gracefully
upon his shoe they were indeed beautiful
to behold Such trousers were not sim
ply due to the tailor's art. They showed
his natural affinity for trousers, and
while the experiment might have been
attended with danger, there is, neverthe.
less, strong probability that Mr. Ar
thur would have made pair Of Bowery
'hafd-me-downs' look quite respectable
OF all the presidents of modern times he
was the best clothed as to his neither
garments.
His great predecessor, Gen. Garfield
achieved trousers. His tailor was good
the cloth was in good taste, but the
wearer gave little attention to the mat
ter, and even appeared in public once in
trousers frayed at the heel. Hayes
trousers were barely respectable, while
Gen. Grant was utterly Indifferent to
his. Trousers were thrust upon him
He really had no taste for them.
President Harrison's trousers are re.
spectacle and good always, but they are
full Of wrinkles and of so conservative
a color as to be nonentities in the trouser
world, and President Clevelands legs
were incased in broadcloth of a stiffness
and newness of appearance that showed
a woeful subordination of the wearer to
the tender mercies of the tailor. This
Is fatal mistake. A mans trousers
should show the combined thought Of
the wearer and the tailor Neither can
accomplish them successfully alone

Tho Fly Too Big a FnnI.

Put fly on the window and up he
goes toward the top; he can't be made to
walk downward. A st. Louis inventor
hit upon an idea Why not use that
habit against them2 Forthwith he made
a window screen divided in half. The
upper half Tapped over the lower, with
an inch of space between. AS soon as a
fly would light on the screen he would
proceed to travel upward, and would
thus walk straight out Of doors. On
reaching the top Of the lower half he
would be outside. Not being able to
walk down he had no way to return to
the room. By this means a room can
be quickly cleared of flies, which always
seek the light.-New York Journal
