The Mounts in Picnics Are Character.

In spite of the alleged materialism OF
our people, it Is plain that the love Of
beauty is stronger in the more ignorant
classes than is common III the European
nations.

people there before him.
Grant that their demeanor is not wholly
asthetic--that they may carry hammer

HOW HE WON THE GIRLS PAPA

A Clever Young Lover Consults a
Clever LAWYER and Succeeds.
Young Toddleby was o true-hearted and
promising youth, says the New York
Ledger. He had graduated with honor at
Yale and was studying law with Mr..
Lofter.
It 80 happened that Toddleby became
acquainted with beautiful young lady.
daughter of old Disby. He loved the
fair maiden, and when lie had reason to
believe that his love was returned he
asked Mr.. Lofter to recommend him to
the father, Lofter being on terms of close
intimacy with the family.
The lawyer agreed and performed the
mission. but old Digby. who loved money,
asked what property the young man had
Lotter said he did not know. hut he would
inquire. The next time he saw his young
student he asked him If him If he had any
property at all.
Only health, strength. and deter.
mination to work" replied the youth.
We'll. said the LAWYER. who sincerely
believed the student was in every way
worthy, :" let us see, What will you taxi
for your right leg1 Twill give you $40, 900
for It,"
OF course Toddleby refused. The
next time the lawyer saw the Young lady's
father he said: II have inquired about
this young mans circumstances. He has
no money in bank but he owns piece
of property for which, to my certain
knowledge, he has been offered and has
refused $40. 900"
This led old Digby to consent to the
marriage, which shortly afterwards took
place. In the end he had reason to be
proud of his son-in-law. though he was
once heard to remark, touching that rare
piece of property. upon the strength of
which he had consented to the match:
II it could not take wings il was liable
at any time to walk of !"

NOT ON SPEAKING TERMS.

Peculiar Domestic Relations of a
Kansas Man and Wife,
There is a married couple residing in
Ottawa, KAN, who have not spoken a
word to each other for more than twenty
years. says an exchange.
The origin of the matter is said to have
cen bitter q uarrel about the correction
of one Of their children-the first and
last quarrel they ever had.
They communicate with each other by
signs and by other members If the family.
Beyond this peculiar action they appear
to be even more loving towards each
other than ordinary married couples and
show each other great attention at all
times.
They visit their neighbors together,
and. in fact. carry on all the usual
amenities Of life as we'll, if not better,
than If they talked.

Don't worry your brain about the

rERRrsrR1AL MAGNETISM.

A well known scientist has just pub
lished new theory to account for the
variation of the compass. He claims
that it is due to an electric. circuit
that is generated by the motion of the
earth whirling between two magnetic
fields, and that the varying intensity
of the current causes the variation of
the needle The two currents, he be-
heves, are streaming to us from the
sun, one being produced by the corona
the other coming direct with the sun
in straight lines In other words, ac-
cording TO this theory, electricity is
generated by the sun. It reaches us
the same way sunlight does, and the
conclusion is that it is akin to, if not
identical with, sunlight itself. The re
volving earth is the gigantic dynamo
which excites electric currents and
makes them manifest.

Silent vigils seem to keep,
As breathe my childhood prayer
''Now I lay me down to sleep"
Sadly sings the whip-poor-will
In the bough of yonder tree
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody,
Foemen may be lurking near
In the canyon dark and deep;
Low breathe in Jesus ear,
81 pray The, Lord, my soul to keep"
Mid the stars one face l see,
One the Saviour called away,
Mother who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray,
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake,
Take me to her, Saviour dear,
"If 1 should die before | wake"
Fainter grows the flickering light,
As each ember slowly dies;
Painfully the birds Of night
Fill the air with sad'ning cries;
Over me they seem to cry,
"You may never more awake"
Low lisp, "If should die,
l pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take"
snow lay me down to sleep,
Ipray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep
If should die before l wake,
pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take"
