''The spiders appeared bringing elegant lace
Woven in patterns of beauty and grace"
Not often, however, are such exhibits
shown in bulk, yet reliable accounts
furnish instances of showers of gossa-
mer webs, as seen in different parts OF
the world, presenting an appearance OF
wonderful beauty. One such, mentioned
in Whites Selbourne, had webs strong
Of texture, in the meshes of which heavy
dew-drops hung in abundance, making
in sunlight very brilliant show; one
such fall continued all day. In Wis
consin such showers have fallen in sew
eral towns at once; the aerial tourists
having charge of this singular visitation
of beauty were supposed to have come
from the lake. The webs varied in
length from sixty feet to mere speck,
and were seen as high up in the air as
the power of the eye could reach. Oar
win observed similar shower of Cos
samer webs from the deck of a vessel
when sixty miles from land.-Harpers

PENSIONS FOR CONFEDERATES
How the Southern States Provide for
Their Veterans.

Their Veterans.
Georgia's confederate pension system,
under which disa bled veterans receive
from 81 to S25 per month, according to
the disability, is highly creditable to
our state, but it should accept and
maintain the home near this city, in Or
der to complete the good work. 1t will
| be of interest to review the situation in
other southern states. Virginia led in
the movement and established a con-
federate home at Richmond, for the sup
port of which the state expends $4,000
year. Pensions to amount of $1,000
annually are also paid.
Alabama has no home, but pays $125,-
600 year in pensions.
Arkansas has home at Little Rock,
built by private subscription, supported
by state aid.
Florida has no home, but pays $50, 00C
year to disabled confederates who
have resided in the state fifteen years.
Mississippi is without home, but has
made liberal provision for her INDECENT
and disabled confederates.
Nhlooouti poJo nv PShoiOho, DuG d
movement is on foot to raise 500, 600 to
endow home without state aid.
Maryland has a $4,000 home near
Baltimore, aided by the state to the ex-
tent of $4,000 annually.
Louisiana has home near New Or
leans, and the state grants it $4,000 a
year.
North Carolina not only pays pen
sions, but has appropriated 81, 900 for a
home.
South Carolina pays about $4,000 in
pensions, but has no home.
Texas has home established by sub
scription. 1t costs $500 a year, and
state aid is expected shortly.
Tennessee has established home at
the old home of Andrew Jackson, 1.-THE
Hermitage" the state donating 475
acres of land and giving $4,000 for i'm
provements in 1889. The legislature
which recently adjourned appropriated
S35, 900 for building and $1,000 year
for its support, and in addition, $50, 600,
or so much thereof as may be necessary,
for expenditure annually in pensions,
which range from $3.50 to S25 per
month. 1t is thought that $4,000 per
year will cover the pension list.
OF all the southern states Kentucky
alone has made no provision for her ex-
confederates.-Atlan Constitution.

Judge Reynolds shook and swayed with
uncontrolled emotion. He and his lit
tie daughter were that night the guests
of Col. Wallace.
The following day the remains of
Harry Reynolds were placed in tas-
ket and started north with Judge Rey-
nolds and Col. Wallace accompanying
them. The children sat with arms en-
twined during most of the journey.
Three days later, Col. Wallace, in gray
regimentals, gave the command Fire"
to the company of union soldiers as
they fired the military salute over tho
last grave of Harry Reynolds.
Three days still later, Charley Wal.
lace was laid in his new grave at Bar
rett. Cora wrote a description of the
funeral to Lila, who said, as she fin
ished the letter:
He got home to Tennessee at last. :"

People sometimes ask at what age
can we seat a child in chair, when put
him on his legs, how old must he be be-
fore we teach him to walk? The an
swers are easy. He must not be made
to sit till he has spontaneously sat up
in his bed and has been able to hold his
seat. This sometimes happens in the
sixth or seventh month, sometimes
later The sitting posture is not with
out danger, even when he takes it him
self. Imposed prematurely upon him
it tires the backbone and may interfere
with the growth, so the child should
never be taught to stand or to walk.
That is his affair, not ours. Place him
on a carpet in a healthy room or in the
open air and let him play in freedom,
roll, try to go ahead on his hands or
feet, or go backward, which he will do
more successfully at first. 1t all grad
ually strengthens and hardens him.
Some day he will manage to get upon
his knees, another day to go forward
upon them and then to raise himself up
against the chairs. He thus learns to
do all he can as fast as he can and no
more.-Popular Science Monthly.

The English Language in Mexico.

1t is most significant fact that En-
glish is largely replacing French as the
first foreign language to be learned in
the schools and colleges. Travelling as
have recently done in South America
and Cuba as well as in Mexico, i have
been impressed with the contrast in
this respect. Many times when l have
put questions in the streets to shop
keepers and police officers, the answers
to my Spanish have come in clear,
straightforward English such as is
never heard in the countries of the
South from natives. Mexican children
are learning English in the schools, and
their fathers are picking it up whenever
they have chance to learn a new
word. There is a very strong prejudice
in the country against the incoming
horde of Americans, but the natives are
learning to speak English as they have
never mastered French. This is one Of
many signs showing that the United
States and Mexico are destined to have
closer and more harmonious relations
with each other in the future than in
the paSt.-MeXican Letter.

though he was their enemy.
A torrid afternoon in July of 1868 was
dragging slowly along toward night,
The little Indiana town, that for many
days had been disquieted by martial
sights and sounds was deserted by
nearly all the male population. Nor
gan, the raider, had whirled through it
four days previously, after scattering
the bands of citizens and militia who
had gathered to oppose him. The next
day Hobson had followed him, and was
joined in his pursuit by the reunited
home guards. Several of Morgan's
wounded who were too severely injured
to take along had been left in the care
of the ladies cf the place, who had
hastily changed church into a hos
pital.
The nurses were now gathered around
this boys couch, awaiting the arrival
of the death angel. He was delirious,
but his poor homesick heart could
prompt one thought that seemed some
what coherent; the thought that many
a brave lad, southern and northern,
voiced with his latest strength: Take
me home"
Little Lila Reynolds stood in the
group surrounding the dying confeder-
ate. Her tears were falling fast, while

SCATTERING FLOWERS.
Scatter your flowers alike to-day,

Scatter your flowers alike to-day
Over the graves of the blue and gray
Time has healed all the nations scars,
Peace has hushed all the noise OF wars,
And north and SOUTH and east and west
There beats but one heart in the nation:
breast;
The grass is green and the flowers bloom
Alike upon soldier and sailors tomb;
So scatter your flowers alike to-day,
Over the graves of the blue and gray.
All! each was gallant and brave and true,
Whether he wore the gray or the blue;
Alike each sought for soldiers fame
Alike each won him soldiers name; g..
Yet what the guerdon each soldier found?
A dreamless sleep meath grassy moundi
let US forget what coat each wore.
Let us scatter our flowers freely DER
The sacred spots where sleep to-day
The dead who once wore the blue and gray
Alas for the tear drops shed like dew
Over the gray and over the blue;
Alas, for the eyes that sought in vain
For the soldier dead on the battle plain
Came death alike to friend and tofoe.
To wives and mothers like grief and Woe!
And the bitter sorrow our sad hearts knew
Was felt for the loss of both gray and blue;
Then scatter your flowers alike to-day,
Over the graves OF the blue and gray.
Oh! by the bitter tears we shed
Alike DER our lov'd ones lying dead,
Oh! by the common grief we knew
Whether we mourned the gray or blue;
BY the drops scarce dry on the widows cheek,
By the common language our children speak,
We have bid all malic5 forever cease,
We have blessed the land with a lasting peace,
And scatter our flowers slike to-day ts
Over the graves OF the blue and gray.

AS the sun was setting he died. The
next morning early his remains were
buried in corner of the village grave
yard. Lila visited the grave in the
evening 9th flowers from her mothers
garden. She tenderly smoothed the
mound and tastefully arranged her
floral tribute upon the fresh-turned
earth.
AS long as there was so much as a
chrysanthemum in bloom Lila placed
fresh flowers upon that lonely South
ron's grave. She saved her pocket
money and had cedar plank painted
white Then she had the painter to place
upon it the inscriptions:

Lila whispered:

''How much like my Yankee that lit
tie girl looks!'

Eyes, sir; this is it," was the low
sweet reply.
knelt reverently by the grassy mound.
Cora drew back a few PAGES, and
viewed the scene. She understood tho
case, and was in thorough sympathy
with it. After the judge could control
his emotion, he asked:
"Who has cared so tenderly for my
boys grave?' '.'.
Il, sir" again came Cora's low sweet
voice.
And what is your name, my child? '
he asked, arising, and taking her hands
in his.
Cora Wallace, sir"
Here Lila eagerly inquired:
did you have a brother Charley in
the Morgan raid through Indiana?"
Yes, he was killed on that raid"
"And have been keeping his grave
up, in the same way you've done for
Harry's,"
The two children here flew into each
others arms, and clasped each other in
a long embrace of subdued Joy, while

Crude entertainment as it is, the cir
Gus is gradually replacing in Mexico the
wanton brutality of the bull fight. In

hibited by law, and in Mexico City and
the largest state capitals the revolving
exhibitions are becoming more and
more infrequent. The reputation Of

ly increasing. 1t is the most
popular American institution in
Mexico. There may be deep.
rooted dislike of the invading host of
American railway operatives, mining
engineers, contractors, spectators and
tramps, but the prejudice does not ex.
tend to the American clown who can
crack jokes in tolerable Spanish. Let
him be careful to avoid wounding ma.
tional susceptibilities and he will be the
most popular American in Mexico, but
if he once gives occasion for offense he
will be Kissed whenever he reappears
in the town and never forgotten. Mex
leans have tenacious memories when
their dignity is compromised. They
love those who fatter them. They re-
sent unnecessary and wanton affronts.
The successful American clown of the
evening could give diplomatists, if he
would, useful hints for regulating their
dealing with the Spanish race. His
keen wit leaves no sting behind it. His
merry jests keep the audience in a
tumultuous state of merriment from
nine until midnight Then the cafes are
filled with loungers for another hour

"wHY DON'T YOU TAKE HIM HoME?"
the ladies were trying to hide their
emotion. These mature women felt
ashamed to weep over the death of a
foe, when only few days before they
had assisted in every way they could
to bring about that death. Lila's little
sympathetic heart could feel only how
horribly wrong it was for this beauti-
full boy to die so far away from home.
The feverish glances of the dying youth
fell upon her, and he piteously begged:
Little girl, make these people take
me home"
The child was so overwhelmed that
she turned upon the ladies and said:
"Why don't you take him home?"
Mrs. Reynolds here stepped forward
and led the little girl away. The last
words she heard Charles Wallace utter
were:
Little girl, they're cruel; they won't
take me home"
