The Ticket Seller Surprised Him.

4 man whose views on human nature
are a trihe cynical received an agreeable
shock the other evening. In his haste to
catch a train on the elevated road a few
nights before he had forgotten to get his
change from the ticket seller. He had
laid down a dollar bill, called for ten
tickets, received them, and dashed or to
catch his train. He had travelled some
distance up town before it occurred TO
him that he had cone away without his
fifty cents. An examination Of his peck
cts made him certain that he had not re-
ceived the money. The man was in a
hurry to get home, however, SO did not
90 down town again to see if he could
have his mistake rectifed. Anyway"
he thought, sit serves me right for my
carelessness. The lesson is worth fifty
cents to me.
Several evenings afterward he was
mounting the steps of the same station
of the elevated road when he recollected
his loss. Going up to the ticket seller,
whose face he did not remember having
seen before, he asked, "Were you here
last Saturday night at 7:a0 o'clock"
The man, a stony stare on his face, re-
piled with another question, Why
81 forgot to get my change then"
'sOh,n the stare grew stonier, show
much was it,"
II laid down q dollar for ten tickets
and didn't get back the fifty cents"
"Oh, yes, l recollect that. Here you
are, SIR and the ticket seller, smiling,
showed out two quarters to the mans
great surprise. Since that time the Gym
les views have received another bad set
back, for . conductor on q Broadway
car actually apologized to him for hav-
ing to give him five coppers in change

~iNFELlX-SED VICTOR

Freed from the strife of this world and the
scoFn Of it,
Sweetiy he sleeps in the emerald plain.
Never Ambition, nor Sorrow that's born of it
Scepter or cross-ean af1ict him again.
Ali that he lived for was Truth and the fight
for it;
Now all his battles are over and done.
Death gives him slurnber, at last, and the night
for it
Trials all ended and victory won.
They that reyilei him may mourn to recover
him,
knowing how gentle he was and how brave.
Nothing hell reck, where the wind blowing
OVER him
Ripples the grasses that dream on his grave.
Though to our vision this dust be the last OF
him,
Low in tho ground and deserted N lone,
Time will aYenge all the woe that is past of
him,
Fate will remember and Justice atone.
After the fray and the heartbreaking pain
of it,
Aliened affection and honor betrayed,
Here is the end, and the crown, and the gain
of it
Cold in the earth where the victor is laid.
STARS will watch over him, silence lament for
him.
Soft woodland whispers re-echo his kneil-
Bird note and leaf murmur tenderly blent for
him
Comrade and brother and friend, fare the
we'll.

Properties of Aluminium.

Before dealing with the many proc
esses now in the field for the cheap pro-
duction of aluminium, we may briefly
glance at the properties and special char
acteristics of the metal under considera-
ton. Aluminium has q white silver like
appearance, is both malleable and ductile,
and from its sonorous properties is much
used in the manufacture of bells. An
exceedingly important feature is its
lightness, a property which favors its
employment for many special purposes.
Aluminium has a specific gravity of only
2.56-that is, is two and a half times as
heavy as water, and IS four times lighter
than silver.
Heat and electricity are conducted by
aluminium as well as by silver, while it
does not oxidize in air even at red heat,
has no action On water at ordinary tenn
perature, and preserves its luster where
silver would tarnish, being thus specially
remarkable as the lightest metal capable
of resisting the action of air VI in the

The salon Of Nine. Recamier was
not in any sense philosophical or polit.
ical, but after the cruel persecution Of
La Harpe, the Punishment of Nine. de
Stael, and the similar misfortunes Of
other friends, her sympathies were toe
strong for her diplomacy, and it grad
uaLyfell into the ranks of the opposi-
ton. 1t was well known that the en-
peror regarded all who went there as his
enemies, and this young and innocent
woman was destined to feel the full bit
terness Of his petty ~displeasure.
We cannot trace here the incidents Of
her varied career, the misfortunes Of the
father to whom she was a ministerine
angel, the loss Of her husbands fortune
n her own. the years Of wandering
n exile, the second period of brief and
Elusive prosperity, and the swift reverses
which led to her final retreat. She was
at the height Of her fame in the early
days OF the Restoration, when her salon
revived its old brilliancy, and was a
center in which all parties met on neutral
ground. Her intimate relations with
those IN power gave it q strong political
influence, but this was never a marked
feature, as it wa mainly personal.
But the position in which one is most
inclined to recall Mime. Recarnier is in
the convent OF Abbaye-aux-Bois, where,
Invested of fortune and living in the
simplest manner, she preservedfo for nearly
thirty years the fading traditions of the
old salons. Through all the changes
which tried her fortitude and revealed
the latent heroism of her character, she
seems to have kept her sweet serenity
u%nbroken, bending to the passing storms
with the grace of a facile nature, but
never murmuring at the inevitable. One
may find in this infexihe strength and
gentleness Of temper q clew to the subtle
fascination which held the devoted
friendship of 50 many gifted men and
wemen long after the fresh charm Of
youth was gone.-Amelia Gere Mason
in Century.

her with all her baggage. Hed dropped
the letter book style and just spoke plain.
If l don't disremenber he said, I've got
the snakes, and I'm the first man that
ever found them payin' property and
growed rich by it.
"You see, he jigt wrote plain that
away. Then he went on and said. I've
got a regular snake trust and the people
never mistrust it, and it's the kind Of
trust what, SO far from causing me to
bust, would just make you bust with
laughter If you saw the peculiar way
I've growed rich. l had to give other
people snakes before they'd come down
with their cash. If you Will come out,
my dear, we will have the snakes to-
gether.' bespoke all through just plain,
that away. Then he inclosed a check
for a thousand dollars for her to come
out with.
"Now you'd say she'd never come
after that. Well, that's just where
you're off. Bein' a woman what thought
marriage was a failure, Of course she
was as full of notions as a river is of
drink, so she seen she had a mission, and
that mission was to save him from the
snakes. It's the delight Of that kind of
woman's heart to get a husband who oc-
c~asionally has the snakes, so she can
hold him up to himself as a shinin' ex-
ample of evil, and point him out to him
self as a burnin' illustration Of intemper-
ance.
"She wrote to him when she started,
and on the day she was to arrive he n
loaded the other bottle Of gin into him
self. 1t was one of the luckiest things
he ever took a notion to do and done.
When she arrived she had the pleasure
of seein' that her theory was correct,
and when a woman has a chance to see
that, she's as happy as a game cock is
when you put IN his spurs for to fight,
and with unbounded pleasure she gave
him a witherin' look that she thought
would make him shrivel up like a green
leaf in a red hot fire, and after maxim
inquiries with intense politeness about
the snakes, she took him off to church
and married him.
when after that she found him to be
a total abstainer, with nothing to re-
form, and she came to know which
snakes he meant, she slowly faded away
with disappointment and died Of grief.
Joe then went east. and when last heard
from had married a young dudine out
there. That was all, as far as I've
heard" ne said, and the labors of the
day being thus ended, he departed and
left me alone to those solitary medita-
lions which the ants were now arousing
within me.-Adam Welckerin Washing

Unforgotten.

As some sweet scrap of an old poem strays
Back from oblivion and gladdens me,
SO steals upon my heart the memory
OF you and the old days.
An echo echoes back a song unhcard,
Telling unwritten romances to me;
Idylls u~nsyllabled in poetry
OF dates unealendared.
A-maytime lilac blooms and hum of bees,
And birds and breezes' myriad carolings,
And all the springtime's fugitive sweet
things,
C~ommingling ecstasies
That once we shared, but ne'er again sha
Save in the vague. mysterious realm of
dreams.
Where heart keeps sacred tryst with heart,
and seems
Threading the long ago,
Today I know not where your footsteps wend;
The world is large; our ways, ~meandering
However OBVIOUSLY, yet never bring
Our paths to the same end.
Wherever you face your way winds to the
heights
Beyond my reach; l keep the valley path,
And CLEAN the sweet late summers aftermath,
Fragrant with dear delights
That you would scarce count worth your gath
ering;
You, who must win upon your upland ways,
A hero's laurels and a poets lays;
Yet, while | try to sing,
l wonder if, perchance, some fedgling song
OF mine may. one day, iuttering TREMENDOUSLY,
Marble in love spun lays ecstatically.
The words u~nyoiced so long,
And reach your heart, like a dove messenger.
And rouse regret and waken memory
That song should be my dearest song to me,
My hearts interpreter.
Sometimes | think of you as one who passed
Beyond the shadows to a bourne unknown.
And then | dream you are my very own.
My very own at last.
In the dream realm there are no laws, forsooth,
And happily, lest in some wilding mood
The yagrant dreamer should o'erbend its
code,
Or break it without ruth.
But from the trysting place in fairy lands.
The dreamer's yearning heart no trophy
brings;
Not e'en the memory of a kiss that clings,
Or touch of loving hands.
And SO I joy in thus remembering yet.
And sending after you this raveled strand
OF song, half honey sweet with memory and
Half bitter with regret.

Behavior at Table.

Keep your mouth closed when eating.
Never play with food. nor minee your
bread, nor handle your knife and fork or
the glass or silver nea you u-nnecessar-
iiy. If a ishbone, ETC., should mad
vertently get into the mouth, the lips
must be covered with the napkin while
removing it. Never pick your teeth at
the table. Do not put Large pieces OF
food IN your mouth; if you are addressed
when your mouth is so flied, you are
obliged to pause before answering until
the vast mouthful is masticated, or run
the risk of choking by swallowing it too
hastily. To eat very fast is a mark Of
greediness, and should be avoided.
Never soak up gravy with bread or
scrape your plate. Never, if possible,
cough or sneeze at the table. Do not
lean back in your chair.
The hostess or host should not insist
upon guests partaking Of particular
dishes, nor ask persons more than once,
nor put anything on their plates which
they have declined. It is Ill bred to urge
a person to eat anything after he has de-
clined. 4 half ladleful Of soup is enough
TO serve, unless it is a country dinner,
where a full ladleful may be given; but
do not fill the soup plate. Avoid the
appearance of self engrossrnent when
eating, unless you wish to be considered
entirely devoted to your food. Never
overload the plate Of a guest OF any
person you would serve. If you are to
serve anything Of which the supply is
limited, use discretion that all may en-
Joy some of it.-Mrs. S. H. Snider in
Housekeepers' Weekly.

And white and plump within,
And juicy gourds are passed about, :

And reaps and nothing leaves. !

Wheels rumble; up the road a cart is seen;
White in q whirl of dust it numbering shows:
