A BLUE RIBBON.

A ribbon of the softest blue
The sweet June sky's most lovely hue,
When youth and hope made all things fair
l bought it to bind up my hair
To all my life it held the key,
Yet never was 1t worn by me.
my own my own ~ thought him then.
The handsome, blithe Young sailor Rem
His last ..good-by" on leaving shore.
His gladdest greeting home once more,
We're always mine. Twas with thought
OF him that ribbon first was bought.
My heart beat high. always knew
Just when the Bonny Bride was due.
18th foot on land you sail the sea-"
Light laughed my cousin Jane at me.
Oh, shallow-hearted, weak and vain,
But full of arts was Cousin Jane
She spied my ribbon fresh and new.
She snatched the length of shining blue,
And knotted il upon her breast.
1T is the shade that suits me best:
Oh, let me wear it once" she said.
l bit my lip, but bowed my head.
When, looking up, within the door
Stood Ben, my Ben, at home once more;
But, oh, his gaze-why should it be?-
Was turned on Jane instead of mel
She'd never looked SO fair before;
Twas that blue ribbon that she wore!
With jealous pang / knew it then
Forever lost to me was Ben.
When Love attempts his wings TO try,
IT'S vain to stay him; let him hyl
But, oh, knew need not mourn
Had myself that ribbon worni
Well, let it go. Sore Heavens grace
Needs she who is not fair of face.
But tits its red robe makes the rose;
The garments charm for beauty goes;
And that blue ribbon held the key
or all my lonely lite for me!

A CULINARY CRITIC.

John Bull, he loves his beef and ale,
His pudding fun of plums.
The Frenchman likes his fricassee
And frogs legs with bread crumbs
The Scotchman eats his meal OF oats,
Like horses in paddock.
His haggis weird, his hodgepodge strange
And toothsome finnan haddock;
And-tell it not in Gath. my boys
In whispers be il said:
He sometimes even longs to eat
His marna-lade on bread.
The German fayors saurkraut.
And ripe Limberger cheese
HOT ana cold siaw, and other things,
That he'H digest with ease.
You join band OF Muscovites--
They wish you at the deuce.
Because you cannot make meal
Oh candle q Ia R'tSSe.
Within q Chinese restaurant
You hear waiter halloa
Nice birds nest soup; roast rat quite hot
And puppy dog to follow" 5u
You dine with a Sea Island chief,
Where all the dishes vary,
From yarns on rice, to babes on toast
And roasted missionary.
The Esquimaux's sarcastic smile
Pronounces you a lubber,
Because you nave no appetite
For walrus oil and blubber.
And thus you find in many chimes,
Wherever you may roam,
The cooking is not quite the same
As that you get at home
And often in your wanderings
You drop tear and sigh
For oyster stew and succotash,
Ice cream and pumpkin pie.
But the one dish of all tho ract
TO which my fancy leans
Is my New England's greatest pride
My Yankee pork and beans.

The Curfew.

AS in Old England, so in New England
is the curfew still heard. In Boston the
O'Clock bell was rung from time imme-
mortal up to within very few years. So,
also, at s O'Clock in the morning and /
O'Clock in the afternoon. Many Bostoni-
ans regretfully miss this good old CUSTOM;
old, as is witnessed by Joseph Josselyn,
who visited Boston in 1868, and in his
description says: ION the south there is
small but pleasant common, where the
galiants, little before sunset, walk with
their marmalet madans, as we do in
Moorsfield, ETC., till the 8 O'Clock bell
rings them homo to their respective habi-
tations,. when presently the -Constables
walk their rounds to see good order
kept and take up loose people,
In many of our towns the clIrfew still
rings out DER hill and dale. In South
America it is called the ''Stay- beli''-
toque de Ia gueda-and after it was rung,
at 10 O'Clock, the use of the streets was
forbidden by municipal ordinances to the
Inhabitants of Quito and other Peruvian
towns.-NeaO England 1Nagazize.

Large Bells.

Most large bells are old bells. Although
England has so many bells and chimes
that it has been call 1.-THE Ringing
Island" and Belgium's bells have caused
her to be named 1.-THE classic land Of
BELLS" yet Russia, perhaps, exceeds all
other nations in its fondness for bells,
having an immense number of them, and
many very large ones. The "King of
Bells" the largest one in the world, is in
Moscow. 1t was east first in 1851, and
recast in 1734. It remained in the pit
where it was cast until 1886, when Mich
olas /. caused it to be raised and placed
upon stone pedestal near the tower of
Ivan in the Kremlin, where it now stands.

WoMAN's DANGEROUS AGE.
Most Fascinating at Thirty Because
She Uses Her Brains Then.

She Uses Her Brains Then.
Balzac has said that woman of thirty
is at her most fascinating and dangerous
age, and it is, indeed, true that all the
women famous for power over the hearts
OF men. from Cleopatra and Helen down,
were nearer forty than twenty when at
the zenith of their power.
Perhaps the secret lies in the simple
fact that the woman of twenty must be
pleased, while the woman of forty tries to
please, and the elder woman's power con-
sists, not, as has been so often said, in
understanding and making the most of
her own charms, but in comprehending
and with happy tact calling out and max
ing the most of the good qualities of the
man whose favor she seeks.
A man admfres clever woman, but he
enjoys himself better with a woman who
makes him feel that he is clever He
likes being entertained for little while
by a well-informed woman, but he enjoys
much better the happy tact which makes
him believe that he is entertaining the
well-informed woman, and telling her
great many things she never dreamed OF.
And the woman a man likes best is not
always the one who is the most brilliant,
but the one who has the happy knack of
discovering the subject he takes best on
and is well enough informed to listen in
diligently and draw him out with happy
queries until he is astonished at his own
brilliancy.

The following is an exquisite portrait
in miniature of one of T~alleyrand's
early friends:
Nobody ever appeared to me to pos
sess a conversational charm compare
BILE to hers. She had no pretentious-
ness; her words never bore, if 1 may
say so, any striking color; she spoke in
delicate standings; no witticism ever
fell from her lips that would have been
too violent. Witticisms are remem-
bered, whereas she only sought to please,
and to let the words be forgotten. An
abundant stock of facile, new and ever
delicate expressions supplied the varied
requirements of her intelligence.
This lady has inspired me with a
thorough aversion for people who, in
order to speak the more accurately, use
none but technical terms. l have no
faith in the brain power, or in the
~soiAnne. of persons who are ignorant of
equivalents, and go on f0re~oB defnin1:
it is to their memory alone they are in
debted for what they know, and &C
cordingly they know it badly. 1 am
sorry that this remark should have oc-
CURED to me during NJ. de Humboldt's
stay in Paris, but now it is penned let
it remain. -Talleyrand's Memoirs in
Century.

1 see some queer antics among spar
rows. Looking out through the open
door nj day l saw a song sparrow on
the concrete walk sitting on her tail,
which was turned under her. Some
thing seemed to be wrong there. She
was picking at the tail feathers, and
either the tail would not stay under
her or else she was too uncomfortable
to sit still more than a moment at a
time. The tail seemed to be continually
getting away from her. She went
through these gymnastics many times.
Finally a white throated sparrow came
on to the walk and began initiating
her, whereat she flew at him and drove
him away. At another time / saw one on
a fence, trying to scratch her ear and
keep her balance, but she did not sue
coed in giving more than one hasty
scratch at a time. 1 have seen young
sparrows dancing near the river hedge.
At my approach they slid under the
bushes like rats.-Forest and Stream.

rHE WORN IN A DOCS TONGUE.
The Practice of Extracting 1t Is Pro-
nouneed Useless and Cruel.

The Practice of Extracting 1t Is Pro-
nouneed Useless and Cruel
George Fleming, a noted English
veterinarian, in his work on hydro
phobia, says that the poet Gratins
Faliscus, of the First century of our
era, speaks of the fable of the worm
in the dogs tongue being the cause of
rabies Pliny, who lived in the same
century, writes, IF the 'lytta,' or small
worm, be removed from n dogs tongue
he will never become mad or lose his
appetite, - and IF the worm be carried
thrice around a fire and then fed TO a
person who has been bitten by a mad
dog that person will never have hydro
phobia-"
Most surgeons, as well as veterinari-
ans in general, caution their readers
against resorting to such a cruel prac-
tice, especially when the worm" has
no bearing whatever upon the dogs
ability to transmit hydrophobia, the
N dreadful of all diseases. That
standard work, Rabies and Hydro
phobia,' by Fleming, London, 1872,
gives the following sound argument in
opposition to this cruel and useless
practice.
Removing the worm from the
dogs tongue, or 'worming,' as it is
popularity termed, has been practiced
from the days of Pliny to our own
time, and is, as might be expected, a
perfectly useless. nay injurious and
painful operation. This so called
worm lies beneath the tongue, in the
middle, and is a somewhat loose, tendi-
o looking fold of membrane. 1t
constitutes what is called the 'franum'
in technical language, and is in fact
the bride of the tongue, and Is de
signed TO assist the animal in tapping.
When in its ordinary relaxed condition
his frenum looks like a small worm,
N the resemblance is perhaps even
more complete when 1t has been torn
out
Hence the name Of the operation,
which is a cruel one, giving the poor
dog n very sore mouth and rendering
the tongue less capable Of performing
its Important functions. The suppose
ton that this procedure will prevent a
dog from becoming spontaneously rab-
id, or liable to Infection If bitten, Is e1-
cessively absurd, as the presence of the
imaginary worm has no influence what
yer in the production of the malady,
while its absence must be a source of
Inconvenience to the dog, and far more
likely to produce rabies than to prevent
its occurrence. DR.. Samuel johnson,
who was never at a loss for a definition
when abiding to the opinion prevalent
in his time with regard to this worm,
called it a substance, nobody knows
what, extracted, nobody knows why

Nearly fifty years ago l was n two
months guest in a London family who
prided themselves on their gentility in
general, and being a young man who
was anxious to learn l noticed that
whenever a single cup of tea suflced
the spoon was placed the neal side of
the cup in the saucer If otherwise then
the outer side. Not until all the guests
had signified their wants did the lady
commence to replenish the cups. The
five pronged silver plated forks were
then coming into use, and were substi-
tuted for the knife in conveying food
to the mouth. When 1 returned home
with this new table accomplishment,
and was dining at n popular suburban
hotel one day and using my fork as
above, | was amused to notice the at
tention l created among the lady
guests, and the waiter in particular,
who supplied me with several knives
OF the occasion. Cor. Boston Trans
