They all climbed up on high board fence
Nine little goblins with green glass eyes
Nine little COLLINS that had no sense.
And couldn't tell coppers from cold mince
Aud they al climbed up on the fence and
And asked them what they were staring At
And the first one said, rs he scratched his head
With queer little arm that reached out Of
And rssrcd his claws in his hair so red
"This is what this little arm is fer.''
And he scratched and stared and the next
slow on earth do you scratch your head."
And he laughed like the scrccch of rusty

And there were no lids on his eyes at all
And he ctucked one eye, and he says. say he,

And he clspped his heeis-and sighed to see
Then bsld-isced goblin gray and grim.
Bowed his head, and saw him slip
His eyebrows on. as looked at him,
And paste them over his upper lip:
And then he moaned in remorseful pain
"Would-ah, would I'd me brows again."
And then the whole of the goblin band
Rocked on the fence top 10 and fro.
And chung, in long row, hand in hand.

singing the songs that their grandsires sung
In the goo goo days of the goblin tongue.
And ever they kept their green glass eyes
Fixed on me with a stony stare
Till my own grew glazed with dread surprise,
And my hat wheored mp on my lifted hair,
And felt the heart In my breast snap TO,

When the question of money steps in

true love steps out, and the whole system

comes un-Americanized. To the orthodox
American mind moneyed marriage is .
nice thing. and when the maiden brings
wealth to her husband it is mighty nice

American mind the consideration of
money fades into nothingness when COM

Unless she were possessed of physical
and intellectual sympathy for the man
whom she was about to marry, our regula-
ton American girl would feel as if she had
been bought for price, or bartered for the
dowry which had been set upon her.
Sooner than place herself voluntarily

Why Humanity Is Dwarfed.

Woman has not suffered alone from
the denial to her of political equality.
The human race is like man who
through infancy, youth and manhood
has compelled his right leg to bear the
burden of his body, regarding the left
merely as an ornamental appendage, to
be swung up by supports and tricked out
with ribbons, lace and jewelry. The one
would be nerveless and feeble, the other
lame and overworked, and the progress
of the whole body would be halting, I'M
even and slow. So with the body pol
itic. All who are interested in public
affairs feel how lame, unequal and i'm
perfect is the advance of society, and
how heavily drag the mighty interests
of the great republic.
1t will be no better till complete JUS
tice is done to woman. With her en-
franchisement there will come a nobler
era. Then, with interests that are iden-
tical, with humanity common to both,
the masculine head married to the femi-
nine heart, wisdom supplemented with
love, man and woman shall together
work out the great problems of life, and
a nobler and better civilization shal
come to the waiting uture.-Mrs. Mary
A. Livermore.

The food Of the people consists chiefly
of black or brown rye or barley bread,
SOUP, milk, coffee, and fish, either fresh or
dried. Almost every dwelling possesses its
own kiadlur, or wind house, for drying
purposes, the four sides of which are COM
posed of laths, set some half inch from one
another, to allow free passage to the air.
Here, for months together, mutton and
whale flesh hang uncooked, and are then
considered fit for human food. Whale
flesh is very supporting, but the dark,

Often rows of little fish hang outside the
wind houses, appealing to the noses of the
multitude of unowned oats which meet
YOU at every turn in TEorshavn, and are
encouraged as necessary to keep down the
similarly attracted breed of rats. The
pretty Faroese name of musabrouir, the
mouse's brother, has, moreover, been given
to the northern wren (troglodytes borealis
Fischer), not for siza and color merely, but
because, mouselike, 1t creeps through the
chinks of the kiadlur to feast on the dried
meats.-Good Words.

A Cinch for the M. d.

A good story comes all the way from
San Francisco. It is said that lady ap-
piled to her physician in that city for ad-
vice and prescription. He had long at
tended her and her family, and on this
occasion he recommended that she go to
popular watering place in that part of
the country, giving her letter of intro
duction to a physician who resided at
the springs.
On the way there the lady remarked
to her daughter that as long as her doc
tor had been treating her he had never
stated just what was her ailment. "Pve
good mind to open this letter and see
what he says of my case to the other
doctor" Acting on the impulse she tore
open the envelope, and, taking out the
letter, read, "Dear Doctor-Keep the old
lady four weeks, and then send her back
to me" Detroit Free Press.

Heavier Engines Bound to Come.

The demand of the time is to move
weight over distance at the least posi-
BILE cost to it on slow freight or fast pas
senger trains. There are hundreds of
locomotives in service of about forty
tons weight, capable of hauling train
of 100 tons at the average running rate
of sixty miles an hour. But that is not
the kind of fast train that our railroad
managers want They are required to
make money for the companies employ
ing them, and they realize that it pays
much better to use locomotives weigh
ing sixty tons that are capable of haul
ing fast train of 800 tons.
1t is a curious study, and one that is
interesting to some minds, to investigate
the rapid speed that might be made with
safety with locomotives having abnor-
mally large drivers, but as far as the
bearing on American railroad operating
is concerned, it is just as practicable as
speculations or calculations respecting
the time it would take a balloon Of GER
tain proportions to reach the moon

o, Time and Change, they range and range
From sunshine round to thunder!
They glance and go as the great winds blow,
And the best of our dreams drive asunder;
For Time and Change estrange, estrange-
And now they have looked and seen US,
O we that were dear, we are all-too near
With the thick and the world between u.s.

Like bells at sunset falling!
They end the song, they right the wrong,

MADE A CONFESSION.
The Convicted Cashier of the Keystone
Bank Unfolds the Methods Pursued.

Bank Unfolis the Meth DDS Pursued.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 90. - Charles
Lawrence, the assistant cashier of the
keystone National bank, who is under
going a sentence of seven years imposed
by Judge Butler more than week ago
in the United States district court, has
made full confession It sets forth that
from 1880 down to about the time of the
closing of the bank in March, 1891,
methods were adopted to deceive the
keenest officials. From what is said of
the document state of affairs existed
that was marvellous, and that the means
employed for deception could only be
suggested and the fraudulent trans
actions carried on only by shrewd men.
The confession, 1t is said, fully describes
everything, and when made known will
be read with interest by every bank Of
fetal Nothing has been held back, and
the revelations, while astounding, were
of such a character as to show that ID
was possible for the guilty parties to
continue their operations for series of
years without being detected. The con-
fession was voluntarily made, and was a
surprise to the ex-bank examiner.
