THE FLEET.

It was long ago that my dream ships sailed
: Day by day to that shadowy sea;
And watched each one t;llmy vision failed
Z And the ships we're lost in mystery.
Sometimes rose-huei and billowy cloud
= Shut out my view ere the ship went far,
But often the darkness would seem to shroud
5 The vessel before she crossed the bar.
They sailed at the sunset, every one;
They sailed away on the ebbing tide.
Sometimes brave vessel went out alone,
And again two sailed forth side by side.
I left them alone in the hands Of Fate;
Prayed she would make them reality;
And many time did watch and wait
For my feet to return from the sea.
Then my last ship sailed-for my dreams
were done
And grisved that my ships came not
back.
But only last night at the set of sun
I saw mast DER tho wasteless track;
And the twilight mists gave away and made
A pathway lit with tine sunsets beam;
And q ship sailed in through the twilight
shade,
And brought back to me q youthful
dream.

The Art Of Manicuring.

Very few people know how to prop.
erly care for the nails. In cleaning them
sharp knife ought never to be used,
but between the ends of the nails and the
fingers the space should be filled with
soap (this is best done by dragging the
finger nails along the baT, and then re.
moved by brushing with good, stiff
nail brush. The best brush for this pur!
pose is made in the shape of half cyl
inder, the inside of which is furnished
with short, stiff bristles that can never
become soft and useless. It also
fits close about the fingers, securing them
effectually.
Many improperly cut away that part
of the flesh which grows over the nail
from the bottom; they should simply
press it backward sufficiently to show the
white "half-moon," considered by some
to bc mark of beauty.
If the flesh is adherent to the nail the
operation may be facilitated by passing
the sharp point Of knife underneath the
fold of the flesh and separating it from
its attachments. With this done, it can
be pushed back more readily. Scissors
should never be used to cut the nails;
that should be done only with q sharp
penknife. detroit Free Press.

IMAGINATION Killed Her.

A remarkable instance of the hold su-
perstition has upon the mind of even the
educated and religious was recently ex-
hibited in the case of Mrs. Rebecca
Byrnes, of Helena, Ark, lady noted
for her intellectual attainmerts and pious
life. One morning, arising in what
seemed her usual health and spirits, she
summoned her children to come to her.
One son was residing in Topeka, Kan. !;
one in New Orleans; two daughters were
married and living in Sedalia, Mo-, but,
obedient to their mothers call, they
came at once, though ignorant of the
reason of their summons. When all
were about her the lady informed them
that she had had a dream in which her
husband, who had been dead for nearly
fifteen years, had warned her that she
had only ten days more of life. She sent
for her children to bid them good-by,
which she proceeded to do with much
calmness, but with the air of one who
had not the slightest doubt that she was
already dying. Hsr friends attempted
to reason with her and to point out the
folly of placing such perfect confidence
in a dream, but all to no purpose, for
the lady persisted in asserting that she
would depart from earth on such day
and exactly at q certain hour.
Her pastor demonstrated with her, and
even brought the severest censurc to bear
on her superstitious credulity, and al last
Mrs. Byrnes ceased to speak of the mat
ter, so that her family had begun to
think that she had conquered her fancy.
She continued n excellent health, and
pursued her usual daily life, but just be.
fore the hour she had predicted would
be that of her death she sought her chill
dren and bade them good-by; then, seat
ing herself quietly in an armchair, ex-
pired just as the hour was struck. The
physicians declare that her death was
due solely to her imagination.-N. Louis

For His Own Coffin.

George W. Piper, of sebewa, Mich,
formerly q merchant, is dying of con-
sumption, and has developed a queer
mania for economy. He is man of con-
siderable means, and is sane on all other
points but that of his own funeral. A
week ago he took laborer with him in
to swampy piece of woodland and cut
down a lot of red ccdars. He had the
logs sawed into boards and took the
boards-to the best cabinet-maker and sur
prised that workman by ordering him to
build coffin to measure. He said he
did not propose to have the undertakers
make anything out of his dying, and he
made contract with the village express
man to carry that box to the grave. Mr..
Piper watches that cabirct-naker at
work and sees to it that the job is not
sighted. lie is growing weaker every
day, and cannot totter to the workshop
to supcrintend the job more than once
or twice more ChicaQo Tribune.

Remarkable Giants.

The teeth aud bones of the fossil ele-
iphants found in Europe were formerly
assigned to giants, and many remarkable
stories were circulated regarding what
was supposed to have been an extinct
race of men "with teeth weighing from
four to ten pounds" The last of these
finds, which was believed to be the re-
mains of giant of the genus homo, was
discovered during the reign of Louis
XIV, and was referred to as the giant
of Dauphine. These gigantic remains
were discovered by surgeon, who stated
they were enclosed in on enormous
sepulchre, covered with o s!cca slab
which bore the inscription: "Teuto-
bocnus rex;' and that in the vicinity
there was also found coins and medals,
all of which showed the remains to be
those of a giant king of Cimbri, who
fought against Marius and was slain. 1t
was aftcrward proved that the surgeon.
discovercr of these gigantic remains was
as great fraud as tho man who manu-
factured the plaster cast known as the
"Cardiff Giant"
The story of Teutobochus rex is even
exceled by that of another giant, called
the giant Of Lucerne, whose remains,
when dug up, were described by q
learned professor of Basle, who, by the
way, was skilful enough to put the bones
together so that they resembled human
skeleton no less than twcnty-six feet in
height. For some time the deluded
people of Lucerne paid homage to this
clephantine prodigy, until Blumenbach
proved to the learned faculty of the
Jesuit College, where it lay in state, that
their relic was but the remains of q mon
ster elephant, long since extinct.-S.

new collar foot wide, which, under the
circumstances, was very decent thing
for the trader to do. Juliana, as was
said, was very pretty girl. Then Juli-
ana and Peter went to the house of the
native preacher, and in the presence of
all the people were married according to
the Lutheran service, for nearly all
Greenland Eskimos are Lutheraus.
When Julana had married him Peter
went to live with his mothcr-in- law, ac-
cording to the usual Eskimo custom.
Eskimo wits never make jokes about the
mother-in-l law. 1t would not be in good
form. The Eskimo mothcr-in-l law rules
the household. She can even command
divorce, the process being simple one.
She orders her unacceptable son-in-law
out of the house, and when he obcys, as
he always does, she throws any personal
property after him that he may have left
behind. Both the young people are then
free to marry again.
The Eskimos do not marry cousins. A
man could always have as many wives as
he could support before the Danes dis
couraged polygamy, and it was the rule
for man to take one of the sisters Of his
chosen sweetheart. 1t is said that the
old practice is still adhered to, though
without the sanction of any religious
ceremony.
1t occasionally happens that newly
married couple do not begin housekeep-
ing at once-cach instead remaining
home. On the other hand, some young
men set up separate establishment al

He is specialist, and should know more

has the good sense to confine himself to or
dinarv everyday diseases. He leaves to the
physician cases in which there is immediate
danger to life. such as violent feyers. he
