NIGHT.

Come with thine unveiled worlds, o truth
OF night.
Come with thy calm. Adown the shallow
day,
Whose splcndors hid the vastcr world
~ away,
, wandered on this little plot ofiIght,
a dreamer among drcamers. Yelled or
bright.
Whether the gold shower rooted me or
the gray
strove aud frctted at LIES fcverish play,
And dreamed until the dream seemed In
finite.
Dnt now the gateway Of the all unbars;
The passions and the cares that beat so
shrill,
The giants Of this pretty world dis
band;
On the great thrc3hold Of the night
stand
Once more scnl selfcognizant and still,
Among the wheeling multitude OF stars.

He Finished the Prayer.


The Rev. w. Fl. Holmes, of the Meth
odist church of South Evanston, was
notified while conducting prayer meeting
Tuesday night that q burglar was ran
sacking the parsonage next door, but he
did not let it disturb his devotions.
He had left his 5-year-old son alone in
the house, and the boy was lying on a
sofa when he saw q strange man enter.
He maintained his presence of mind and
pretended to BIO asleep until the man had
passed out of the room and gone upstairs.
Then he jampedup and rant the church.
Mr.. Holmes was in tho middle of q
prayer when no was startled by the ex-
cla1nation:
papa, there's n strange mar in the
housed"
The minister hesitated for q moment
and then calmly finished the prayer, be-
traying no sign of excitement. Mrs.
Holmes, however, hurried out of the
church, followed by three young men OF
the congregation. They fastened to the
house, but the thief evidently saw them
coming, for he departed by the back
door rs they entered the front. The
young men gave chase, however, and
overlook him, but failed to hold him.
He broke away from them after a strug-
gle and succeeded in making his escape.
The party then returned to the prayer
meeting aud continued the service.
The thief was interrupted before he
had secured anything of value, although
he had gone through some of the draw
ers of a bureau that contained many val
liable articles.-Chicago Tribune.

A Satisfied Man.

Did you ever see him! 1t seems us
if the search for him would be more
hopeless than Diogenes' quest. One
man is saving money to build Il house;
another is trying to sell his for less
than it cost. This young man is
spending all the money lie earn in
theatre tickets, bouquets, and livery
hire. to persuade Il girl to marry him;
that middlc-agcd man is paying law
yers zig money to get IL divorce. The
Eastern man wants to gu West; the
hungry and cr"plcss Western farmer
wishes he could so back to the Old
home in the East. Farmers wish
they had Il soft snap keeping stort;
the merchant with notes coming due
in the bank wishes he could have as
easy a time as "that old Granger"
The children arc in Il hurry to lm
"grown up folks" The old people
would like to be young again. How
ever, the above does not show that
all are dissatisfied. The man who

The Yosemite Valley.

For every hundred persons living west
of the Mississippi river who have seen
st. Peters at Rome hardly ten, l think
it may be safely said, have visited the
Yosemite. Two small hotels in tho val
ley are ample for all who may at any
one time seek accommodations, and or
an average two coaches a day during the
season will carry all who seek convey
ance to that place of grandeur. One
thing is certain, the foreigner ''doing"
the United States seldom omits the
Yosemite; yet many an American tourist
travelling in California leaves the coast
in ignorance of the wonders and beauties
of the famous region. On a beautiful
Sunday in May, out of sixty-fve guests
at tho Stoneman house over forty-fve
were foreigners, most of them on ~ trip
around the world; and that proportion is
not unusual during the season. To the
foreign tourist tho Yosemite ranks with
Niagara, aud from those who have seen
the wonders of nature OIL every continent
the verdict seems to be that the Yosemite
stands pre-eminent-the greatest of all.

The Wandering Jew.

Calmet's History of the Bible has
this to say of the Wandering Jew: He
was the porter of Pontius PLATE, and
was called Calaphilus. When the mob
was dragging Jesus to the judgment
hall Calaphilus struck him. saying: 600
faster, Jesus! Go faster. Why dost
thou linger!" Jesus replied, 81 am in
deed going; but thou shalt tarry till |
come" Soon this man was converted
and took the name of Joseph. He is
supposed to live forever, but every 100
years he falls into a trance, upon awah-
ening from which he finds himself at the
same ago as when the Saviour said these
words to him. The Wandering jew is
grave and stern, is never seen to smile,
and perfectly remembers the death and
resurrection of Christ. No place is his
home for more than a few hours, and
thus does he fulfill his title Of wander.

Druggists Who Disagree.

A correspondent of a st. Petersburg
contemporary has published the results
of an inquiry he made into druggists
charges, and by so doing he has caused
fear and trembling among the apothe-
carries of the city, who dread some gov
crnment order on the subject. The in
quiring individual presented to fifty
nine different ap%othecaries prescription
for Il solution of boracic acid 1000
grammes in quantity and 3 per cent. in
strength. For this he was charged vari-
Gus prices from thirty kopecks up to a
ruble 600 kopecks), and even up to n
ruble seventy-six kopecks. And he made
the solution at home for about two or
three kopecks. This was bad, but worse
follows. There was as great variety i'll

druggists there were eight different ways

Cunid va. Clothes.

When Elizabeth held the fort in Eng
land, and Sir Walter Raleigh used to go
about with clothes on that if he had got
hard up he could have gone around to
his uncle's and put them up for thou
sands of pounds, not to mention a GER
tain pair Of shoes of his which were said
to be worth 5000 crowns, then it be-
came the fashion for q man who vas in
love to neglect his apparel, as if he were
too much occupied to bother about such
trifes.
There was one mark in particular
his carriers were not to be tied. So that
when an Elizabethan dude walked down
the Mall with these useful a%ppendages
hanging on behind him it was equiva-
lent to saying that his heart was gone.

LADY OF THE cLlcKER.
Daily Round and Hcdged Up Dignity OF

Daily Round and Hcdged Up Dignity OF
the Woman Who Telegraphs.
It occurred to a citizen the other day
on approaching the fair telegrapher in
an uptown hotel that a woman in sucha
her fortitude taxed by thoughtless men,
bers Of tho opposite sex.
The young woman in question was
possessed of Il personal makeup that
would attract attention in Il crowd, yet
through all the rush of business and hur-
ry of work she never once seemed con-
scious of herself. Men came and went,
their messages were received, the words
picked off by the lead pencil measurer,
the charges announced, and her seat re-
sumed without, as Francis Wilson has
it, her knowing a muscle or wincing Il
VINCE"
To the inquirer after facts she turned.
and for tho first time raised her eyelids,
that disclosed Il pair of sharp, honest,
blue gray eyes, full of business, yet sug-
gestivo of a happy, laughing temrcra-
ment, if you only knew her outside her
"cage."
"Oh, no" she said, tive arc too busy
for idlers, and always of necessity too
deeply interested in u work to allow
us to pass the conversation lozenge.'
"There are those who fancy VIC IRE
hero only to look pretty and impress the
gentleman guest with the idea that he
has delayed for a whole week to send a
telegram of utmost importance"
"This is not the case, however, and
the man most likely to forget himself
and bother rs is not the fellow who
spends u quarter for al unnecessary teln-
gram as an opener to conversation. We
see him, of course, occasionally, but his
business generally amounts to inquiry
as to tho location of the perfectly visible
hotel desk or of tho nearest postoflicc or
letter box. We mako short work of
him, and in u Discreet way can force the
blush on him that sets him on his gen
tlemanly feet again.
"Others there are, and thank goodness
they form tho great majority that rules,
whose business is transacted promptly,
politely and with an evident sense of the
fact that they are dealing with a lady.

With proper care and attention a good
piano should last q family a lifetime. If
this is not given it the piano will in
time become harsh and "tin-panny," and
afford little satisfaction or delight to its
owner. Ordinary practice, whether by
Il child or Il grown up person, will not
iniure a piano in any way. 1t is not
necessary to be a professional piano
player and to know exactly with what
force to strike the keys in order to keep
the instrument in good condition.
OF course it will not be improved by
humping the case or by striking the
keys with any hard substance. Neither
does this remark apply to schools and
institutions where playing is taught, and
the instrument is used continuously for
ten or twelve hours every day. In the
latter case the felt portions will wear
out sooner than if it was used in a pri-
vatc family.
The matter of tuning should not be
neglected, and should never be intrustcd
to any other than an experienced person.
Incapable tuners very often work irrep-
arabic injury to the most perfect and
costly instruments. During the first
year ii new piano should 10 tuned every
three CT four months at least. After
that it will only DO necessary to have it
tuned ut longer intervals.
Dampness is the most dangerous en-
envy the piano has to contend against,
and for this reason the climate must be
considered. If tho instrument is placed
i'll ~ damp room, or left open in y
draught of air, the result will bc that
the strings, tuning pins and the various
metal parts will become coated with
rust, and the cloth used in the construc-
ton of the keys and action becomes
swollen. 1t is positively painful to play
on such a piano.-Charlcs II. Stcinway
in Ladies' Home journal.

immense interest to readers of Dickens,
and it is for sale. 1t is believed to be

Twist for burglarious purposes. The
house is q good one, and ought to fetch a

Because Willie Went Skating.

Parental solicitudc is natural and
proper, but it has its ridiculous phases.
1t wasn't very long ago since Willie
went skating. His mother was filled
with apprehension, and spent about half
the day standing in the front door to see
whether he was coming home stiff and
cold on n shutter or otherwise. His sis
ter waded through tho snow to tell his
father, and the old gentleman got his
feet wet standing on the edge of tho
pond trying to make his son hear his
command to come homo. Nobody but
Willie had an appetite for the evening
meal. His mother now looks after the
hired girl a little when she can leave her
room; his father has such q cold in his
head that he cannot talk, and his sister
has such a cough that she is afraid to
leave the house, and when any of them
wants any medicine Willie goes out and
buys it.-Washington Post.
