A GENTLEMAN at Poona (Lndia) re-
Gently received a letter that had been
posted at a station twenty miles away
two years and four months before, ac-
companied by the explanation from the
postal authorities that the delay was
owing to the fact that it chad been
posted by the wrong train" Instead
of being grateful for the explanation he
is mean enough to insinuate that the
train the letter got on must have had
an uncommonly long run.

OF General Sheridan's children
Washington correspondent writes: Al
three are pupils Of the Convent of Visi.
tation, on Connecticut avenue. They
are day scholars, living in retirement
with their mother in their plain, quie,
home on Rhode Island avenue. Mary,
the eldest, is about fourteen, and rec
sembIes her father, both in face and
figure. The twins, Louise and Irene,
are twelve years old, and look very
much like Mrs Sheridan They arc
dressed in plain black frocks and coatl
so exactly alike that their best friendq
cannot tell them apart. They wear
their brown hair in demi-length that
admits of neither plat nor curl. They
have the pretty convent-bred manner
of paying instant attention when
spoken to, and are as serious as little
nuns. But there is a naive originality
about them that is charming.

A New YORK shoemaker suggests
that if men would adopt the English
fashion of keeping boots on trees they
would get ten times the wear out of
them. When the shoes are taken off
they should be put on a tree at once.
The leather is stretched to its full ex-
tent then, andall the wrinkles smoothed

leather to crack, as it does if the
leather is allowed to remain in one
condition long.

HER GODFATHER.
How Hester Wright Was Kept
from Starving.

''Two dollars and forty cents" Hes
ter said, bitterly. 1t lay upon the ia
BILE before her in pile Of pennies and
small pieces Of silver, and over 1t bent
two faces, Hester Wright's and her
mothers; faces that had been fair and
beautiful, but were pallid with sorrow
and tho privations OF two years Of grind

Not all at once had they fallen down
the slope from wealth to want, although
the first crushing blow had thrown them
far along the road. From luxurious
home to a small one; from that to q
boarding-house; from one to another,
each poorer than the last, to room in
a tenement house. until they were OF
last in a bare, cold attic, so scantily
furnished that tho very emptiness was
chilling. They had, at last, reached
the point where actual begging or star
walton stared them in the face.
''If we invest the forty cents in char
coal" Hester said. in the same low, bit
ter tone in which she had first spoken,
''two dollars won't pay our funeral ex-
penses"
Hester! Don't, dearw her mother

Which all through ones life bears charm;
And though We were oil sturdy men,

The days when we halloed and hooted,
And ran down the pasture barefootcd;
We stole out OF childhood day,
And filed II up brimful OF play.
The pond ana the swift skimming swallow;
The wood where the owl used to halloo-
Who.oo! who.oo!
The barn full OF hay,
Where many q day
We tumbled down over the mows;
The grass In the meadow was growing
The cows in the meadow were lowing
Mo-oo! mo-oo.
All, life has no Joy
Like that OF q boy
Running barefootcd after the cows!
We ate Of the apples that fell
From the harvest tree over the we'll;
For never In life could We meet
With apples that seemed half so sweet;
Nor water had we ever tasted
Like that which the spring ever wasted;
For God made the vintage TO flow
From the wineprcss Of pebbles below

The chipmunk, who travels by rail.
