She stared Calmly Ahead.

A Young girl, tall, with wide blue eyes,
still innocent of evil, got into a Madison
avenue car at Eighty-hfth street Sunday
morning. She carried in her lap prayer
book and in her hand novel-one of those
paDer bound novels with the title standing
out in bold relief. Her expression was so
demure that the three men in the car
would have sworn she cared more for the
prayer book than the novel. At Eightieth
street a severe looking man and his wife,
both gray haired, took the car. The older
woman looked across at the young girl, at
her novel and prayer book, frowned little
and turned and whispered something to
her husband He was little deaf, the car
made good deal Of noise, so he put his
hand to his ear and said, "WhatW His
wife repeated her remark little louder,
and still he could not hear. Finally she
shouted in thin treble SO that all the car
could hear; II think it is a shame to see O
young woman with a Bible and a novel
Her thoughts are all on the novel, and she
would better have left the Bible at home. u
Everybody looked at the girl with the
novel, but she stared calmly ahead and pre-
tended to have heard nothing York

About two years ago they presented a
complete miniature railway to the emperor
through Ii Hung Chang, and the line,
which is about three miles long, is laid
down within the imperial city. The young
emperor is very much interested in its
workings, and spends great deal of his
spare time in riding to and fro in the beau
tifully appointed little carriages. He was
greatly struck with the toy railway, and
its influence upon the recent DEGREES has
been very considerable. The old reaction
airy party amongst his advisers were adverse
to the miniature line being laid down with
in the precincts of the sacred city, and it
was very near returned to the donors.
But the government was afraid lest 1t
should give offense to the French, who are
greatly feared and respected since they
burned and sunk the Chinese feet at Foo
chow, and inflicted such disastrous de
feG&s upon the Chinese legions in the south.
In the end the present was accepted, but
the high authorities would not allow any
foreigners to have hand in laying down
or working the model railway. The result
was when they started the little engine
they could not stop it, and great consterna-
ton was occasioned to the occupants in
the palace by their inability to control the
strange continuance of the foreigners,
which dashed along the line till it was
pulled up by coming In contact with a
mound of earth. Since then, however, a
Chinese driver has been procured, and the
emperor is a frequent traveller upon the
cars. -Shanghai Letter

pERperoATloN OF LOVE.

When am dead, my love.shall be a flower
That blossoms in thy pathway, pure and white;
A gush of bird-song, or ray Of light
That Sits across thy darkest saddest hour;
A violet gemmed by some sweet summer shower
dream that steals across thy longest night,
And thrills thee with the oid-time pure delight
That only Weakened at my tender power
A silver wave laughing along the sand,
Stirring sweet memories OF my vanished voice;
A gold mist trembling from the sea to land;
A tone or glance, recalling thy hearts choice;
The grieving night-call of lonely dove
These things shall all be rife with my lost love.

= Lesson from an Old Fire,

DR.. George NJ. ockford, of Lexington,
Ky, says that the fire of London in the
Seventeenth century dispelled the old illu-
sion that the plague was unavoidable.
That fire involved London in enormous pc
ouniary loss, but it proved blessing by
stamping out disease, and upon the ruins
it left behind there was built up a sanitary
system which had since been improved up-
I'll II was now the very finest in the world,
Old World epidemics were largely the re
suit Of the accumulations Of filth for ages.

Henry M. Stanley says that one of his

his meeting with the dwarf tribe of the

centuries. Their queen was very kind tc
the explorer, and consented to accompany
him to Europe but became so exhausted
by the hardships of the journey that she
had to be sent back. These dwarfs are

We agree with the old poet who
said that low, soft voice was an ex.
cellcnt thing in a woman. Indeed we
feel inclined to go much further On
the subject and call it one of her
GROWING charms. No matter what
other attractions she may have; she
may DO as fair as the Trojan Helen,
and as learned as the famous Hypa,ia
OF ancient times; she may have all
the accomplishments considered req
uisite at the present day and every
advantage that wealth may procure,
and yet IL she lack low, sweet voice
she can never be really fascinating.
How often she spell is broken by loud j,
coarse talking. How often you are
irresistibly drawn to q plain, unas.
Stunning woman, whose soft, silvery
tones render her positively attractive.
Besides we fancy we can Judge Of
the character by the voice the bland =,
smooth, fawning tone seems TO us to
betoken deceit and hypocrisy az in
variably as the musical, subdued
voice indicates genuine refinement.
In the social circle how pleasant it is
TO bear woman talk in that low key
which always chsracterizes a true la.
dy. In the sanctuary Of home how
such voice soothes the fre'fnl temper
end cheers the weary husband. How
sweetly such cadences float through
the sick chamber around the dying
bed with what solemn melody do
they breathe aprayer for departing
soul.--[N New York Telegram.
