But surely each one Of us when we
read this unfinished story, and think Of
the love which impolled this man to
seek out and care for this degraded
woman, simply because she had given
him birth, must turn back TO our own
homes. and ask ourselves how wo deal
with the woman sitting there, to whom
we owe not only life but mothorly care
and devotion.
Do we repay her in love like TO hers?

Lovers Abstraction.

That the groom of one of last weeks
weddings was so deeply enamored of his
fair bride as to foreshadow the future
happiness of the couple is, perhaps,
augured by little incident which, ac-
cording to the New York Times, he
does not mind telling himself. 1t was
N the early days of their acquaintance,
and he was about mailing his first note
to her. Although the missive was a
comparatively unimportant one, relating
to some intended courtesy, it's writing
Lad been mingled with much absorbing
thought Of what future notes to her
might breathe, and he walked down the
street to mail it, putting some very
pleasant pictures from his meersohaum.
At the box, still absorbed, he dropped,
as he thought, the letter into the receipt
acle and retraced his steps to his apart
ments. AS the door was reached he
found tho note still in his hand. What,
then, had he put into the box? His pipe.
of course, and there he found it few
minutes later, bowl out, the long stem
deep among Uncle Sans mail.

AT last we have found use for home

Each one can perfect tho mode Of fash
ioning these figures as he likes best.
A ballet girl who can lift her foot to her
forehead, rooster which can move its
legs about are pretty easy to make. A
horse with twelve different joints is a
bit too difficult for an amateur. For the
horse each leg is composed of three diff
ferent portions.
Instead of placing the figure on O
plate we can put drop of water on each
joint with the finger or with paint
brush, and the effect will be the same.
The winter evenings are coming which
cause young and old to assemble around

table. and nothing else. This is the
vegetable caterpillar, called by natural
lists HipidFs uircscens. 1t is a perfect cat
erpillar, and a fine one also, growing to
three and half inches. Until it is full
grown it conducts itself very much like
any other insect, except that it is never
found anywhere but in the neighbor-
hood of the rata tree, a large scarlet
lowered myrtle, and that 1t habitually
buries itself few inches underground.
Then, when the aweto is fully grown, it
undergoes wonderful change. For
some inexplicable reason, the spore of o
vegetable fungus, the Sp9hria Robertsii.
1xes itself directly on it's neck, takes
root, and grows, like a diminutive bull
rush, from six to ten inches high, with
out leaves, and with dark brown head.
This stem penetrates the earth over the
caterpillar, and stands up few inches
above the ground. The root grows SIM
nltaneously into the body of the cater
pillar, which it exactly fills in every
part, without altering its form in the
slightest degree, but simply substi-
tuting vegetable substance for an ami
NAL substance AS soon as this process
Is completed, both tho caterpillar ard
fungus die, and become dry and hard,
but without shriveling at all. Tho
thing is then wooden caterpillar, so to
say, with wooden bulrush standing up
from its neck. Papier mache, perhaps,
would better describe it than wood, 1t
can be taken out of the ground entire,
and preserved for any time. Where tho
aweto is found many specimens can be
obtained. 1t is light green when
alive, and the Maoris eat it in It's soft
state, when 1t resembles marrow. When
dry, they powder it for use as flesh
dye in tattooing.

custom which then prevailed at the
military academy. Whiting thought
him at first remarkably dull, but no.
ticed that he studied and worked with
dogged pcrsistency. The class of which
Wilcox and Whiting were members was
graduated just prior to the Mexican
war. Several of the young officers were
in Washington on their way to Mexico,
and on the Eight of their arrival they
were invited to go with Jefferson Davis,
then member of the House, to a rc-
ception given at the White House.
Later both Davis and T. j. Jackson
turned their faces toward the Rio
Grande. At the close of the war jack
son ranked every member of his class
and was a Brevet Major, and was sta
toned on Governors Island, near New
York. Whiting, Wilcox and number
of young officers were visiting New
York, and when several brother officers
from Governors Island called on them
Whiting asked:
what has become of Tom Jackson;
how is he getting on?"
Badly, badly" replied the officer;
"since he has stopped fighting he has
taken to fddling. He came over to
this city a few weeks ago and
bought fiddle, several bows and
4 pile of resin. You will remem-
ber at West Point there was no
music in his soul, no poetry, no relaXa-
ton, nothing but hard application to
his textbooks. So his new fad makes
it awful for us. Every minute he can
spare he devotes to practicing on the
fiddle, and the sounds which fill the bar
racks in his vicinity are beyond descrip-
tion-almost beyond endurance"
"Be patient" said Whiting, with a
smile; ''if Tom jackson is determined
to master his violin you'll listen to a
second Paganini before he gives up"

He strobe into the sanctum with tho
tragic air Of man who is determined
that some other fellow shall get the

clenched fist on the table and danced

by his right as an old subscriber, why the
entertainment given by his singing soei-

norantly and ignominiously ignored.
The man at the desk patiently heard
him through, and when the plaintiff

his breath, asked with icy calmness;
"What do you mean by 'ignored?'

nonsense now and then can fashion all
the figures represented by these designs,
which can at any time be set in motion
like mechanical toys.
Take, for instance, clown. First
draw and paint the figure on the back
of q card-the body and head first, then
the two legs and arms; carefully cut out
these five pieces. place the body on a
table and above it the legs and arms in
position of rest.
Now these limbs must be joined, and
this is how it is to be done. Take, for
instance, an arm, mark with pencil at
the shoulder end of the arm the exact
spot forming the axis of rotation; pierce
q hole with q pin at this point and put
it through the shoulder in the body.
Bend match stick at the center as
much as possible without breaking and
drop little melted sealing wax, join
ing the two ligaments to the arm and
body respectively, making the part
forming the joint be in contact with the
pin. Do the same for the other limbs,
remove the four pins and the figure is
complete. Now we have to give it life.
All that has to be done for this is to
place the side of the figure on which
are the matches in plate containing q
thin layer, so to say, of water. The bent
fibers of wood which have not been
broken will swell by means of the mois-
ture absorbed and will try to regain
their rectilineal position. The figure
will then make series of abrupt move
ments, which are very amusing. The
legs and arms will move apart as those

entered then, and by their tact relieved
me from my embarrassment.
The old man told me how much he
and Ben enjoyed each others society,
and he complimented Ben upon his ap-
pearancc. "You are looking we'll, Ben,
old boy, and am pleased to see you in
such good spirits to-day"

went quite often and nearly always
was taken to see Brother Ben, because
he had taken such a liking to me, the
old man said.
/ learned from the ladies that Ben
had been drowned when he was boy,
but of late the hallucination that he
was living and was insane had been
fixed in his brothers mind.
One day my friend told me that he
was worried about Ben. "He seems to

he loses the thread of the conversation
oftener than formerly"
He was right. Brother Ben" was
failing. 1t was pathetic to hear the old
man say: Ben, my boy, you are trifie
pale to-day" or: "You should take
better care of yourself, brother; you
think too much and sleep too little"
/ had n private interview with the
ladies one day, and we decided that
ben" would be better for little trip
away--so the mirror was removed and
we told the old man that his brother
had gone for n change of air. But he
worried about Ben and missed him so
that we had the mirror hung again and
told him that Ben had come back.
He was overjoyed; he fastened to the
mirror. "Ben, dear old Ben, l have
missed you SO. / am so glad that you
came back" he said brolenly, patting
the glass gently as he spoke. "And
you'll stay with me always now, won't
you, Ben? You won't leave me again,
for we haven't long to stay now, you
and l, and something tells me that we
will both go together, old fellow"
He failed rapidly after this snd soon
he could only with difficulty get to his
old scat before the glass.
"Ben, we're almost there" he would
say, and then he would ask us if it
were not pitiful to see Ben looking so
poorly.
Indeed it was, and our tears would
start as we saw the reflection of the
trembling limbs and vacant, wandering
gaze.
The end came at last, peaceful and
calm. He had been in bed some days
in sort of half-stupor. He reused one
night and called: Mother" "Yes,
father, am here" she said, gently. 81

too. l am glad can take him with me,
for he is so feeble and SO tlighty that he
wouldn't know how to get along with
out me, poor old boy, and then he might
bother you, mother, if l wasn't here to
sort of look after him."
He nestled down among the pillows,
looking so happy and contented. "Ye1,
Ben, we are going together, just as we
came" he whispered, and in few min
