OUR KIND OF A MAN.

Not IN Apollo with snow-white hand,
A trifie austere, nor yet too bland;
But a heart of gold all through and through,
And tender and sympathetic, too
Our kind Of man!
All, one who, walking the worlds broad
ways,
Sees little to blame and much to praise;
Has cheer and smile for the weary throng
And bold contempt for the bitter wrong
Our kind of man!
Yea, one who, ignoring baser ends,
Liveth for home and the good Of friends;
Where, self forgotten, broad manhood lies,
A star in the glory of the skies
Our kind of mani
Who not for theories but for deeds,
Christ's own apostle, with love for creeds.
The worlds brave prophet, after Gods plan
In healing and teaching he leads the van
Our kind of a man!

LOBBYISTS In England.

In England lobbyists are called parlia-
mentary lawyers, and they are upheld by
some people who really do not know
much about them as class infinitely SUI
perior to our lobbyists. Maybe they are
as class better than some of our lob
byists, but there are some of them a
great deal worse than our lobbyists are as
class. They are supposed simply to
argue before parliamentary committees,
but what is to prevent them from argu-
ing with the individual members of the
committees2 In the House of Commons
of Great Britain are some of the most
disreputable scamps in England. They
frequent the gambling houses and the
low saloons, and they are just as pur-
chasable by an unscrupulous "parliamen-
tary lawyer" as any member of Congress
is in this country by lobbyist. If
there were statistics in existence they
would show, without shadow of a
doubt, greater percentage of corrupti-
BILE members of the House of Commons
than of the House of Representatives.
The British lobbyist is at any rate a
luxury fully as expensive as one of ours.
A number of years ago it is said, that the
enormous sum of $410, 900 was paid the
parliamentary solicitors" for one rail.
way bill that never got into the House of
Commons at all. There is story of an
other British ''lawyer," s'who being re-
tanned to appear before number of diff
ferent committees at the same hour OF
the same day, having received a num-
Der of guineas for each attendance, was
found by friend reposing under
tree in the park, in order, as he said,
that he might do equal justice to
all his clients" Perhaps the cunning
of our lobbyists was an inheritance from
the old country. If the truth were
known it would be found that many lob.
byists prey upon the credulity of their
clients and that they pretend to do
great deal of bribing, where in reality
they do but little Washington Star.

pointed and even shocked their we'll
wisheIs in this country, admits the New
York Tribune. But the trouble seems
to have sprung not from the lawlessness

patriotic course of few politicians,
especially Senior Balmaceda. The Chill

civilization to make it either possible or
probable that they will revert to the
state of chronic insurrection which has
characterized so many countries of Latin

About Glass Eyes.

"Then there is good deal of differ
ence2"
I. "Oh, yes. They range all the way
from fifty cents to $50."
'Is there such big demand for
thems"
Larger than mat people suppose.
The fact is that many people get along
so we'll with glass eye that not one per-
son in ten suspects the fact.
"Some of our friends may be wearing
one of these solid visual organs and we
do not itW
Precisely. I'll bet that several peo-
pie in this city with whom you are ac-
quainted are wearing glass eyes and the
fact has always escaped your attention"
"Tell me something about the bust
ness, doctor"
''In the first place the greater share of
glass eyes, so called, are not glass. The
best quality of artificial eyes is manufac-
tured in America by a process which is
kept absolutely secret. These are the
lightest and best and will last longer.
The Germans also make fine artificial
eye. The best eyes are made of stone.
The German article is cheaper than the
American. The veining in the foreign
eye is not so we'll Marked"
"What makes the trade profitablea"
"I'll tell you. One-eyed men are
likely to be rather scarce, and one would
think that having once stacked up they
would buy no more. But this is not the
case. An artificial eye gets to be nuis-
ance after 1t has been on duty for two or
three mopths. Another one has to be
purchased. This explains the reason for
the lively trade in these articles. There'll
always be trade in them, and a good
one, too"
"How is 1t we don't notice glass eye
| in some men2"
because they know enough to keep
still about the matter and wear the best
eyes obtairable. In this way, If you no.
tice anything at all peculiar about their
optics you imagine they save squint or

The United States has now become the
greatest iron producing nation of the
world, having produced 9,202,70 gross
tons of pig iron in 1890, against about
5000, 900 gross tons produced in Great
Britain, an excess of about 1900, 00G
tons, or fifteen per cent. 1t has been at

development of a vast industry which the

built house In my youthful dreams
In sunny and pleasant nook,
Where might listen the whole day long
To the voice Of gurgling brook;
A cottage with wide and airy rooms
And broad and shining floors
A house with the hidden charms Of home
And the freedom of out-of-doors.
Fair morning -glories climb and bloom
At will by the eastern caves,
And on the doorstep and window sill
The roses shake their leaves;
And fair old-fashioned lilacs toss
Their purple plumage high,
While honeysuckles drop their sweets
On every passer-py.
Down at the end of pleasant path
Is group of evergreen trees
Pine and hemlock, and spruce and fir,
With their spicy fragrances;
And, sweetest picture of calm content
That mortal ever saw,
Under low-boughed apple tree,
Is bee hive made Of straw.

shall do 1t a hundred more
But never shall own the pleasant home
With the roses over the door.
Never dream of mine came true;
1t is Fates unbending law.
never shall see the apple tree,
Nor the bee hive made Of straw.
But yet, in the airy realm Of dreams
Where all my riches be-

Which Is else denied to me;
have but to close my eyes to find
My Eden without flaw
The home, the garden, the apple tree
And the bee hive made of straw.
