An Old Woman Singing.

Sweet are She songs that have heard
From green boughs and the building bird
From children bubbling DER with tune
While sleep still held me half in swoon.
And suriy bees hummed everywhere
Their drowsy bass along the air:
From hunters and the hunting horn
Before the day star woke the morn;
FROM boatmen in ambrosial dusk.
| Where, richer than a put Of musk.
| The blossom breath they drifted through
Fell out of branches drenched with dew.
| And sweet tue strains that come to No
When In great memories see
All that full-throated quiring throng
90 streaming on the winds OF song;
Her who afar in upper sky
Sounded the Wild Vaikyrie's cry.
With golden clash OF shield and spear,
Singing for only gods TO hear;
And hsr who on the trumpets biare
Sang angels Ever Bright and Fair
Her voice, her presence where she stood,
Already part of angelhood.
But never have ! heard in song
Sweetness and sorrow so prolong
Their being-as hushed music rings
Along vibrating silver strings
20 "hch- "itu al ucf eiguIY years,
With all her fires long qrenched in tears
little woman, with a look
Like some flower folded in 4 book,
Lifted a thin and piping tone,
And like the sparrow made her moan,
Forgetful that another heard,
And sang till all her soul was stirred.
And listening, oh. what joy ami grief
Irembled there like trembling leaf,
The strain where first-love thrilled the bars
Beneath the priesthood of the stars:
The murmur Of soft lullabies
Above dear unconsenting ewes,
The hymns where once her pure soul trod
The heights above the hills of God
All on the quavering note awoke,
And in silent passion broke,
And made that tender tune and word
The sweetest song / ever heard

Bazaar.

Marie AntoInctse,s slipper.

In an old French household in New
York the most carefully cherished
heirloom is slipper which was worn
by Marie Antoinette in the last days
before the French revolution. II was
one OF the precious relics in the bag
gage OF "a court lady who fled with her
husband to Louisiana when the storm,
broke. She left the tiny. blue. faded
slipper to her daughter. with the in
junction that it should go down in the
family to the eldest daughter. il she
never allowed herself to have corns.
1t is a pretty slipper and has been
carefully kept in the jewel case of ono
French woman after another. so that
it Is perfectly preserved.
1t is short very narrow and very
high-heeled. and is brocaded blue,
lined with soft white silk. The sole
Is of coarse-grained leather and there
are three satin straps over the instep,
fastened with a paste buckle.
The pointed toe is embroidered with
silver threads and the edges are bound
with silver braid.
The condition regarding its inherit
ance has always been strictly adhered
to. The women of the house have
taken great care Of their feet that they
might rightfully claim the unhappy
queens slipper and for loo years
there has not been a pinching shoe
worn in that family.
A relic OF this sort would be a boon
In a good many households. II it had
the effect Of inducing the daughters to
abandon the tight bootA which injure
not only their feet but their gait and
carriage.

SAVING BABY'S LIFE,
A Carrier Pigeon Utilixsd to Send for Ne
Medicine.

A Carrier Pigeon Utilized to Send for ~
Medicine.
An incident occurred recently in thu
family OF G. F. Marsh. the dealer IN
Japanese curiosities at No. 625 Market
street and member of the Pacific
coast pigeon society, says the San
Francisco Examiner, which proved to
him In most impressive manner the
valuable services which may some
times be rendered by the carrier pig
con, and probably explains some Of
his enthusiasm in that direction.
His little baby boy was taken sud-
denly sick with the most alarming
symptoms of diphtheria- The mother
watching by the bedside OF the little
. one. dispatched q message tied on a
carrier pigeon to her husband at his
store on Market street In the mes
sage she wrote the nature OF the child's
alarming illness and made an urgent
appeal !or medicine to save its life.
The bird was started from the home
OF the family near the Cliff House. five
miles from Mr.. Marsh's Market street
store.
The bird few swiftly to the store,
where Mr.. Marsh received it. He
read the message. called DOCTOR ex-
planned tho child's symptoms as his
wife had detailed them in her message
and received the proper medicine,
then tying the little vial containing
the precious medicine to the tail OF
the pigeon. he let it 60.
The pigeon sped away through the
air. straight for the Cliff. II made
the distance-five miles-in ten mir
utes a distance which would have re-
quired the doctor three-quarters of an
hour to cover
In twenty minutes from the time the
mothers message was sent to her hus-
band the baby was taking the uledi-
cine. and thus Its life was saved.
Naturally enough Mr.. Marsh is par
tial TO pigeons. for he considers hat
he owes his baby's life to one.

TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRLS
Who will Create FurOr in Newport
this Summer.

THIS summer.
Newport is to have a sensation
this summer.
1t is automatically stated that the
beautiful and celebrated Daughters
ofLord Defferin, Beatrice and AIDE
laide, are to grace this famous resort
with their presence this coming
season.
1t will be remembered that
Beatrice's beautiful dark eyes have
played havoc lately with the heart
of Albert, the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales. What it will
amount to is as yet matter of
conjecture in England. The young
ladies are acknowledged to be the
most beautiful in all Europe, and
there will be not little excitement
in the hearts of our American bellies
over their coming. They are
exquisite dressers, and their cos
tunes will be marvels of curiosity.
Unlike most lauies, they know
exactly what is suited to them.
Some time ago they sent for the
chief designer of the Paris house of
The New York and Paris Young
Ladies' Fashion Bazaar, and selected
forty costumes each, tile cost OF
which will amount to thousands OF
pounds.
Through the courtesy Of these
young ladies we have been permitted
to copy for The New York and
Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazal
two of their most exquisite costumes
which appear as figures 3 and 4 OF
the colored plates of the June mum
Der of this magazine, just out, ant
for which the publisher has issued
In the name of the American ladies

ladies to. Newport this summer. Thu

right to publish each month at leas
