WATCHING THE WORLD GO BY.

BY Meredith Nicholson.
swift as "A meteor and as quickly gone
y train Of cars darts swiftly through the night.
ScorninS the wood and field it hurres on
thing Of wrathful might.
There, from a farmers home wOman's eyes,
Reused by sudden jar and passing fare,
Follow the speeding phantom TIL it dies
An echo on the air.
Narrow the life that always has been hers.
Tie evening brings a longing TO her breast;
Deep IN her heart some aspiration stlrs
And mOcks her souls unrest.
Her tasks are mean and endless as the days,
And sometimes love cannot repay all things:
An instrument that rudey touched. obeys,
Becomes discOrdant strings.
Tie train that followed In the headlights fare.
Bound for the city and a larger world,
Made emphasis Of her poor life of care,
As from her sight 1t whlrlcd.
Thus from all lonely hearts the great earth rolls,
Indifferent though one woman gricve and die,
Along its iron track are many souls
That watch the world 90 by.

The folk who lived in Shakespeare's day
And saw that gentle figure pass
BY London Bridge-his frequent way
They little knew what man he was'
Tho pointed beard, the courteous MEN,
The equal port TO high and low,
All this they saw or might have seem
But not the light behind the brow.
The doublet's modest gray or brown,
The slender sword hits plain device,

Few turned, or none to scan him twice.

An Englishman who Knew on Which Side
His Bread was Buttered.
William Paulet, first Marquis of Win
chester, who died March IS, 1872, was a
remarkable man in several wavs. He
was born in humble life, but entered
into court service and gradually rose
from one post of honor and trust to an
other. He was comptroller and treasurer
of the household to King Henry VIII,
while under the boy king who succeeded
he was Lord Treasurer, the Office being
considered the highest in the State. In
recognition of his services, the King en-
nobled him, and finally made him Mar
quis of Winchester. 1t has not been
claimed for him that he had great
ability; he is described, however, as
possessing unusual sagacity. Through
the bloody reign of Mary he held his
high Office, and when Elizabeth and
Professionalism succeeded, he contrived
to still retain his place. In fact, while
every body about him met with misfor-
tune and disaster, Paulet was undis-
turbed and prosperous up to the hour of
his death. He left an enormous fortune,
but also many and voracious descend
ants, and it was not long before they
had dissipated it. When Paulet was
asked how he managed to keep on the
good side of so many and severe mas
ters, he replied significantly that he
was born Of the willow and not of the
oak. The shrewd old man had a habit
of saying pithy things. One of them,
''that there was always the best Justice
when the court was absent from LON
don," is not altogether inapplicable to
the present day. Paulet was ninety
seven years old when he died.-Chicago

rye toiled and tried and worried,
I've gone the cook books through.
Till my brain is tired and fiurried,
And my hands and patience, too.
I've had the best instruction
From the ablest cooks in town,
And my pies are crisp and dainty
And delicately brown.
But apple, mince or pumpkin,
OF any form or shade,
Are nothing to my husband
Like the pies his mother made,
So I'll give the struggle over,
And throw my pride away,
But as sure as I'm mother
I'll be avenged some day.
Ny bonnie lads are growing,
And they'll not be afraid
To tell their future spouses
What pies their mother made.

Fad That Is Taking Strong Hold on
People of Means.
Of late the fad of collecting odd silver
spoons has taken a strong hold On
people who have plenty Of money to
spend. Lots Of people who have re-
Gently returned from Europe are show
ing admiring friends the collections
they made while abroad. No two spoons
should ever come from the same town,
and each should have as much Of a
story as possible connected with the
place where it was bought and the man
ner of getting it. It should be marked
with the name of the place and the
date. It is rather a pretty idea and the
spoons make pleasant mementoes OF
one's travels and experiences. Wash
ington jewellers have noticed the de-
mand and are not to be behind in an
swering the call. One of them has
something quite original in this line.
In answer to the question: Haven't
you something novel in spoons, some
thing characteristic of the city, you
knoW?" the would-be-purchaser is shown
a lot Of Washington spoons. These are
rather large and heavy and have a
medallion head of the first President set
into the bowl. The head is good one
and is much prettier setting for
spoon than one would at first suppose.
Then there are others that are exact
SMILES of teaspoons that belonged to
Mrs. Washington. These ara odd and
decidedly popular. Others still have
genuine coins of a century ago set in
the bowl, and set Of a dozen punch
spoons have set Of small gold coins
from as many different countries All
these different kinds Of spoons have
Washington and the date OF purchase
engraved on the back. These Wash
ington spoons are especially popular
with foreigners and almost every one
stopping for any length Of time in this
city takes something of the sort home
with him.-Washingto Star.

She Knew tI1e Name.

To show how history repeats herself,
let US repeat bit of history. John
Quincy Adams being President, George
M. Dallas (who used to tell the story
with great gusto) was one evening re-
lieving the boredom of a ball by talking
over things with Charles J. Ingersoll.
"A political career" exclaimed Mr.. In
gersoll, why it's chasing the will o. the
wisp. You wade the bogs and then, when
you succeed, what have you got? Moth
ing; absolutely nothing. And as for
fame, why look around you; in all this
brilliant assemblage, among all these
beautiful creatures, dare wager what
you please that you can not find one
that knows who is President Of the
United States. No sooner said than
done" Next to agree upon the lady
oracle. She knew, o, dear, yes; of course.
