I dined With some Englishmen the
other day. English gentlemen who are
perusing this country and have got q
barrel or two of pounds, shillings and
pences at home. They are not lords, but
they are gentlemen. That is a very sig
nifcant and comprehensive word. The
king can be gentleman, but not every
gentleman can be king. Some say that
the Prince of Wales is gentleman, and
some say not. One of these EDglishmen
WAS telling me what sport was had in
London over the exposure Of the princes
gaming propensities, and his fondness for
the game of baccarat. A Leading tobac-
conist advertised his goods by sending o
fancy wagon around with an illuminated
sign which read as follows:
Where do you get your 'baccar" at,
Why at Thompson's, Of course.
But the Prince is to be pitied, they
say. He is now fifty years old and all
these years has had nothing to do-noth-
ing but to wait and wait for his mother
to die and then be would be somebody.
He dosent want her to die, fot he la "sry
fond of her and fealIy yety smart, and
would make good king, but as it is he
is not much account. Our General Dick
Taylor had splendid time frolicking and
sporting with him and says be is the soul
of honor and punctillious gentleman.
And 80 it seems settled that man can
gamble at cards and bet on horse races
and be gentleman. Andrew Jackson
did both, and so did Henry Clay. Away
back ia the centuries gentlemen were the
land holders and ranked the yeonenfys
They were the aristocracy. They lived
we'll and kept open houses, and gave roy
al welcome to other gentlemen. Itwas a
great compliment to say "He is a fine
old English gentleman"
But, over here, in this land of liberty,
a poor man can be gentleman. If he
has good education, good manners, and
is kind, truthful and sincere, he is q gen.

neadinr the human Face.

Every one knows that mems passions,
propensities and peculiarities as well as
their callings are reflected in their faces,
but it is only the few who have made
the study Of physiognomy an especial
pursuit who are gifted with the power
of reading those faces. Judges who have
served long terms on the bench, lawyers
in large practice and doctors Of emil
nence possess the power Of Interpreting
physiognomies more largely than other
people, but any one can acquire the
rudiments of the art by dint Of hard
study.
1t is as impossible to disguise face
(without putting on mask as it is to
disguise ones handwriting. When the
expert comes the disguise is torn off and
the face tells the true story Of the spirit
inside the body. One only needs to visit
the penitentiary to realize how undenia-
bly, vice writes its sign manual upon the
features. 1t Is not the drunkard only
whose red nose, fabby cheeks and
watery eyes betray him; it is the sensual
ist whose vice is read in his lips, the
knave whose propensity is revealed by
the shape Of his mouth, and the man Of
violence who has been betrayed by his
eyes.

jailer seldom asks the crime Of which a

Remarkable Ghestlr Actions.

One of the most remarkable modern
instances of supposed ghostly disturb
ance occurred in the home of Rev. DR..
Phelps, Of Stratford, Conn. Upon re-
turning from church one day be found
that all the doors Of his house, which he
had carefully locked on his departure,
were wide open and the contents Of the
rooms on the first floor in the widest
confusion. Nothing had been stolen.
In room in the upper story, however,
eight forms were found, each one with
an open Bible held close to its face. On
examination these were found to be
bundles Of clothes, cunningly and very
skillfully arranged to represent living
beings Everything was cleared away
and the room locked, but within five
minutes the same scene was repeated,
although the clothing had been carefully
put away.
For seven months the house was dis
turbed BY extraordinary phenomena
The most unearthly noises were heard
day and night. Furniture and kitchen
utensils were mysteriously moved
Glassware and window panes were
broken by unseen hands before the
startled inmates. and once the eleven
year-old son of the doctor was lifted
bodily and carried some distance. The
most diligent research discovered moth
ing. and not until he applied to some
spiritualists in Boston did the disturb
ance cease.

Charles Emory Smith, United States
minister to Russia, speaking Of Incl.
dents of his residence abroad, said:
81 should say that the Russians were
a contented people, and may add, from
what saw, the stories of the nihilistic
societies are greatly exaggerated. Of
course, it must be remembered that

100000, while the total population Of the

'Did you find any difficulty with the
language?" he was asked.
Il did not have to try" said Mr.. Smith
with smile. Russian children general
ly have German nurse, an English gov

time that they appear in society they
are masters of these languages. The
czar himself speaks English remarkably
well. ."-Philadelphia Times

A Bull right with Fun in It.

In ordinary accounts of bull fights you
hear Of the sickening sight of disembow-
eled horses and bleeding men and butch
cred bulls. This went on with ever
changing fun, shouts and laughter, but
no one was either hurt or got the CO.
cardes. Whoever thinks 1t is merely a
joke to go down into one of these enor-
nous arenas and snatch the tiny rosette
from between the horns Of q beast who
has been trained all his life to keep him
from getting it, will find that he has a
large piece Of work cut out for him. For
fun a Provencal bull fight beats panto-

"What is the use of rearing daugh-

long ago of an inquiring Englishman.

What world Of difference there is be-
tween that sentiment and this Of "a
Cradle Song" recent poem by the
young poet, w. B. Yeats, where the
mother addressed her baby thus:
kiss you and kiss you. my arms round my own;
Ali how shall miss you, my dear, when you're
grownl
To us, In these later times, and with
all the sentiments Of Christian civiliza-
ton fostered in us, it is almost incom-
prehensible that any grown human being
could have the heart to extinguish the
first struggling life of babies; most of all
does it seem incomprehensible that the
mother, whose nature is wont to well up
and flow out at the first helpless cry Of
her infant, and the father, whose instinct
is to hover over and protect and ''fend
for" both mother and child in their weak
ness, could ever surrender, or with their
own hands destroy, the creature whom
they have brought into the world. But,
strong as are the natural instincts,
stronger still is many a religious fanati-
cism, stronger il national or tribal ira
dition.
And when we consider that it has taken
ages Of Christian culture and feeling to
bring US to our present height of imagin-
ative sympathy with all forms Of life,
till now we are agreed that no more
beautiful, sacred or divine sight is to be
seen under the sun than that of mother
with child in her arms, then we can
understand that, while it is an outrage,
a sin and crime to destroy child
among the taught Of Christendom, it Is
but hideous barbarism among the un-
instructed of fheathendom. Strand Maga'

A Talk About These BY the ApIariat OF
the Rhode Island School Station.
In bulletin from the Rhode Island
Agricultural school station Samuel Cush-
man, the apiarist, says on the subject Of
hives.
American hives without doubt excel
all others for practical work. But there
is great variety Of kinds. Men equally
successful use entirely different fixtures.
Most hives have excellent features, but
some have more than others, and to ret
the most of them in one hive is the OBJ
ject Of all Hives are often ordered only
to find them worthless or different from
what was wanted Many beginners go
through this. They have no idea Of what
they want. As one is discarded another
IS tried. They are continually trying
hives until no two in the yard are alike,
and the principal advantage OF frame
hive is lost. That is, the adaptability Of
every part Of each hive to any other hive,
thus making possible doubling, dividing,
changing combs of brood or honey, tier
ing up, etc.
Those who commence with a good
hive and stick 10 it are fortunate. Ex-
cept in the matter Of first expense those
who order each kind, study them all,
decide on one and sell or throw away the
rest are more fortunate. This plan, next
to that Of making a tour Of all the diff
ferent large apiaries in the country, is
probably the best, though the money re-
quired for samples and the freight OK
express On them would start quite an
apiary|
Mr.. Cushman suggests that this ex-
pense may be saved to farmers Of his
state by visiting the station where a col
lection Of the various patterns of hives
has been begun and Is designed for per
manent exhibit. Following l. a list Of

it, and then a low fever attacked
him and the medical men assigned
all that remained Of him by anticipa-
ton to mother earth. There was no
pain; life would burn out gently, but
there was no hope, and Georgia would
not believe them. She pitched her tent
against the shadowy foe, and drew out
the spear and buckler to fight for her
love. She conquered. too, and when she
had saved him the doctors declared he
had constitution Of cast steel, and con-
descended to take the credit Of his re-
covery. 1t was not much of a recovery
after all. Only tottering from the
couch to the window, lifting from the
carriage to a bench in the park, but that
was very great deal to her.
With faint touch Of irony all over
wrapped by smile Of good humor, he
had said to her
Never mind, Georgia; you will have
to get substitute now"
And she, brave with a true woman's
courage, wise with true woman's tact,
made reply:
my wedding dress is ready, Edgar.
When shall we be married?'
She kneeled, and he propped himself
upright upon his crutches before the al

THE WEDDING JOURNEY.

We had talked in murmurlng whisper.
And gentle undertone.
Till the day had died In the darkness,
And the stars came out in the zone;
Then my bride, in ladylike calmness,
And with all her accustomed grace,
Leaned back in "A gentle slulnber,
With smile on her well bred face.
As the train rushed on in the darkness.
Like flashing meteor self
took no heed Of the present,
But backward my memory went.
And thought with a feeling of anguish,
And a throb Of sudden pain.
OF the lap Of the murmuring waters,
And the sandy Hampshire lane.
saw ~The Shoals in the distance,
And the blue waves fall and rise,
And passionate face on my shoulder
With love in her starry eyes:
No calm and well bred feeling.
No decorous modern art.
But fond and foolish passion.
A faithful woman heart.
But the strength of her love consumed her
And she sleeps in her early grave
In the scented Hampshire valley,
Near tho sound of the sobbing wave.
But here by my side see her.
Pale with passionate pain,
Too true, too deep for earth's trials,
Oh. love of the woodland lanei
shook Off the strange, odd feeling.
And saw the sweet vision fade,
And my bride awoke from her dreaming.
II thought we were there" she said.
Where was II Oh. on the journey
That took with my calm, cold bride;
And the other was only phantom,
A vision that faded and died.
