THE SONG OF THE MARKET PLACE.

Gay was the thtong that poured through the
streets Of the old French town;
The walls with bunting streamed, and the flags
tossed up and down.
'sVive lroil yive lroi!' the shout of the people
rent the air.
And the cannon shook and roared and the bells
were all ablare
But, crouched by 81 Peters fount, beggar with
her child,
Weary and faint and starved, with eyes that were
sad and wild,
Gazed on the passing crowd, and cried as it went
and came
"Alms, for the love of God! Pity in Jesus namel"
Few were the coins that fell in the little cup she
bore,
But she looked at her starving babe and cried
from her heart the more:
"Alms. for the love of God Mother Of Jesu
heart"
The steeples shook with BELLS and the prayer was
drowned in q cheer
But see! through the thoughtless crowd comes
one with a regal face.
He catches the besgar's prayer, and turns with a
gentle grace:
"Alms thou shalt have poor soul!-Alas, not a
sou to share
But stay.'-and he doffs his hat and stands in the
crowded square.
Then from his heart hesang little song of the
south,
A far off cradle song that fell from his mother
mouth
And the din was hushed in the square, and the
people stood as mute
AS the beasts in the Thracan wood when Orpheus
touched his Lutte
Tho ,,,altincr tanor ceased and sob from the
lSt'ners came
''Mariol' cried a voice, and the throng caught up
the name.
"Mariom and the coins rained like shower ol
gold,
Till the singers hat o'.rfowed like Midas chests
of old.
"Sister" he said, and turned to the beggar
crouching there,
''Take it; the gold is thine; Jesu hath heard Thy
prayer
Then kissed the white faced child, and smiling
went his way,
Gladdenod with kindly thoughts and the joy Of
holiday
That night, when the footlights shone on the
famous tenor's face,
And he bowed to the splendid throng with hl'
wonted princely grace,
| Cheer after cheer went up, and stormed at will
flowers, he stood
Like dark and noble pine, when the blossoms
blow through the wood.
Wilder the tumult grew, till out of his fine de
spar
| The thought of the beggar rose, and the song he
had sung in the square.
| Raising his hand he smiled, and silence fllet
the place,
While he sang that simple air with the love light
on his face
Wet were the singers cheeks when the last nott
died away
Brightest Of all his bays, the wreath that he wor
that day!
Sung for the love of God, sung for sweet PHYS
sake,
Song of the market place, tribute of laurel take

DER ALTE CHAPERON.

They all thought he was fool; but
then they often make mistakes like that.
Kangaroos can't jump like women when
the women are jumping at conclusions.
You see. the trouble was that Coils
Beattie-Collie they called him when
they wanted to be funny-did not have
much to say. He used to lie about the
hotel veranda in big steamer chair and
read novels He wore a yachting suit
and cap and silk shirt. He did not
look a bit salt, because the skin of his
face was as white and as smooth as a
baby's. So they laughed at him for
wearing yachting suit. All the other
fellows wore them, because it was
yachting port upon the sound, and pretty
much every one went in for sailing,
which was about all there was to do at
the place. Collie went sailing once or
twice when some generous fellow took
pity on him and invited him. Then the
women laughed at him more, and in
strange German called him Der Alte
Chaperon-the Old Chaperon-because
he always went down into the cabin,
stretched himself ON locker and fell
asleep. They said he was afraid the
spray would spoil his complexion.
Collie didn't seem to know that he
was being laughed at. If he did know
| it he did not mind it. He never said
anything, but went on reading novels.
German novels too; and he read them
in the original. 1t was most exaspera-
ting. What business had a man at a gay
| active summer resort to wear nautical
toggery, have skin like queens baby
and read German novels? Once some
one said to him.
Come and play game of billiards" "
Thank you," he replied, ''it's little
too much for me you know"
He certainly was fool-and a lazy
one, too. They tried him on several
things, but he lay in the steamer chair
and read German And there were at
least six beautiful girls in the hotel,
And every one Of them had been piqued
into trying to interest him. But he just
staid in the steamer chair and read Ger
man, or went to sleepin the cabin of the
yacht.
He didn't get seasick. They remem-
bered that after he was gone, as one of
his good qualities. They had him out
one day when it blew fresh and there
was lively sea on, but he went to sleep
like rocked infant He certainly was
the most torpid man that ever lived

A Museum of Decorative Art.

1t is proposed to establish in the lower
part Of New York city a museum of
decorative art, where artisans and de-
signers for the various manufactures can
find specimens of the best work of all
ages, together with suggestive books,
charts, designs, etc, that will help them
to produce something out of the beaten
track. It Is proposed to connect with
the museum a school that will teach
drawing and give instructions by letters
and recitations. Such museum as this
would contain models of the best work,
goldsmith's work, enamels, ivory, leather,
and wood carving, silverware. art work
in iron. bronze, brass and other metals,
pottery, and designs in silks, cretonnes
and other textile fabrics, wall papers,
painted tapestry, etc.-in fact, examples
of every possible form of art as applied
to the industries. Speaking of industrial

True as the Needle to the Pole.


The old saying, "True as the needle to the
pole" is quite misleading. explains The
Geographical Magazine, because three per
sons in five who use il are thinking of the
north pole, while the fact is that the ter
mini of the earth's axis are not coincident
with the magnetic poles. 1t was OF great
Importance 10 nayigators in Northern lasi-
tudes to determine the exact position Of
the north magnetic pole, in order TO make
the needle a perfectly Trustworthy guide.
One day nearly sixty years ago, while The
famous polar traveller, Sir John Ross, was
sledginz over the ice hummCcks north OF
this continent, he found a place on the
western shore Of BOOthis Felix. where the
dipping needle wholly lost its directive
power and stood within one minute Of the
vertical The discovery enabled Greedy, at
Lady Franklin bay. when he found his
needle pointing nearly southwest, 70 de-
termiDe the true north by few minutes
calculation. The position OF the south
magnetic pole has also been approximately
determined. and not a sea captain sails the
ocean today who is not greatly indebted
TO these discoveries These magnetic poles
slowly move back and forth across the polar
area They have probably changed their
position since they were found and scien-
tifc men awhile ago were urging the i'm
portance Of sending out expeditions % re-
locate them.

The Unpopular Half.

There is one unpopular coin issued By
Uncle Sam. It is the haif dollar, and II
has a tendency to work its way back
into the treasury vaults, where it ism (
wanted. AS money nobody objects to
the half, but the popular fancy is for the
same value in another form. That is,
the average citizen prefers to have two
quarters. They are a trife more con-
venient. IF he wants to pay out half a
dollar he can use the half or the two
quarters with equal convenience, but if
twenty-five cents Is to be paid out the
quarter is far the handler coin.
This may not seem to be a very i'm
portant matter, but it counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find
their way back to the government vaults,
and there they stay, like poor relations.
In fact. so far as coming home IN dis
grace goes, the half dollar is the prodigal
son Of the minis.
A very large proportion Of the SEQ, Co.,
600 of fractional silver on hand at Wash
ington IS made UP of halves. This is the
lot which Secretary Foster was so anx-
ious to get rid Of, and about which he
talked with the New York bankers when
he made his visit here. Nobody then
manifested any wild desire 10 take the
secretarv's load of his shoulders.
It IS probable that a good many Of the
halves stored UP IN Washington will be
recoined into quarters and dimes. In
that way they viii be more convenient
for popular use.
OF course lots Of halves are used, and
will continue 70 be used. Their coinage
viii be kept up, and nobody viii have
any more difficulty in getting them than
usual But the proportion OF other coins
viii be increased because the people like
them better.
The New York subtreasury has its
share of halves on hand, and the other
day it tried 10 work off some Of them.
1t was a day when pension checks were
being paid. and nearly every one was
cashed partly in halves Before the
close Of the day a good many OF the
halves were back in the subtreasurv.
And they are there yet-New YORK

Many examples are known of women
dressing as men, but until lately no case
has been known Of a man going about
disguised as a woman. A man named
Signol, seventv-two years old, employed
as a cook. was taken to the hospital Of
Saint Antoine, Paris, suffering from gas
tritis. Mistaken, on account Of his
dress, for a woman, he was taken 10 the
ward reserved for members Of the weak
Ct sex. When they found out the mis-
take he was put into another ward.
The straugest thing about the whole
case Is that Signol says that he never
wore male attire excepting on the day
he was examined by the conseil de r.
vision in order TO determine whether he
was fl for military service. When he
was seventeen years old he want az .

A Horses Walk or a High TrestIe.

A strange scene was witnessed recently
on the Northern Pacific trestle at the
water works. The trestle is about 800
feet long and 50 feet high. Under it i8
the Union Pacific roadbed The ties are
about eight inches apart and are evenly
distributed the entire distance.
At an early hour the attention of
dozen people was attracted by large
s0rrel horse which had walked along the
trestle from the south and was unaware
Of the danger ahead. He was unable to
turn around and had fully 500 feet yet
to travel The spectators were struck
with awe, expecting every moment TO
see the animal dashed to atoms by fall.
Now fully mindful Of his danger, it was
remarkable TO note the instinct with
which the animal stepped cautiously
from one tie TO another.
He had Just reached that part of the
trestle above the Union Pacific roadbed
when ne became daZed and missed his
footing. His mind feet caught IN the tie
and threw him, 80 that the rear portion
Of his body overhung the framework Of
the immense bridge, while he held him
self By his fore feet. The scene was
sickening one. and the spectators looked
every moment for the fatal fall. Sud
denly. with a powerful lunge, the animal
threw his body toward the trestle and
managed ID regain his feet.
Again he started on his perilous walk,
and when within q few feet Of the end Of
the bridge fell again and was caught in
much the same manner. Martin Scully
started TO the assistance Of the animal
with rope, but the horse was 50 close
to terra frma that he made an effort TO
regain his feet and fell TO the sloping
bank, Just = short distance below. He
then rolled down the bank for about
twenty-five feet HIS mouth and hoof
were badly bruised in the struggle. but
otherwise he was UninJ ured.-Olylnpic
