Meerschaum Pipes, ,violins and Poems.

Meerschaum Pipes, ,violins and Poems.
 Certain things are good for nothing until they have been kept long while and some are good for nothing until they have been long kept and used. Of the first, wine is the illustrious sEd immortal example. Of those that must be kept and used I will name three meerschaum pipes, violins and poems The meerschsum is but poor affair un- tl it has burned thousand offerings to the cloud compelling deities.
 Violins, too-the sweet old Amati!- divine Stradivarius! Stained, like the meerschaum, through and through with the concentrated hue and sweetness of all the harmonies which have kindled and faded on it's strings.
 Now, I tell you, a poem must be kept and used like a meerschaum or a violin. A poem Is just as porous as the meer- scbaum; the more porous it is the better. I mean to say that genuine poem is capable of absorbing an indefinite amount of the essence of our own human itv, it's tenderness, it's heroism, it's re- grets, it's aspiration so as to be gradu ally stained through with divine sec- ondary color derived from ourselves Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Verdict Against c. N. E. & w.

On Monday of last week, verdict for Sl5, ,OOO was rendered for plaintiff in the suit of Charles H. Gross vs the C.N. E. & w. R. R. Go at Newburgh, N. Y. Gross was an engineer in the employ of the Go and was crippled for life in its service at Campbell Hall. He had to go for water for his engine onto the main line. He asked the operator to get orders, to proceed, from the train dispatcher. The operator told him to go ahead and flag up" He then pro- ceeded, after sending man with red light ahead. The red light vent out, and Gross seeing train coming jump ed from the engine and became para lyzed. There was no collision as the train was stopped in time. The de- fense was contributory negligence and that the orders to "fag up" was the un- authorized act of co-employee. Judge Barnard seems to have charged in favor of the company, but the jury looked at the matter differ n'ly. It is said the case will be appealed.

Some Lace Collections.

Perhaps the largest and most valuar ble collection of faces in the possession of any one is owned by Mrs. Robert L. Stuart, the widow of the old time sugar refiner But some very rare and beau. tiful faces are owned by New York women. These treasures have come into their possession either by inner itance from their ancestors or by pur chase during trips to Europe. The day for wearing real and valuable faces, except on extraordinary occasions, is past, however.
 Fashionable women rarely allow their precious faces to adorn their gowns nowadays. A rich dinner toilet may be sometimes trimmed with profusion of genuine old lace, but the ornament is removed from the gown when the owner takes the garment off.
 For ordinary wear the imitation faces have taken the place of the more costly kind. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Will liam D. Sloane, Mrs. Astor, Mrs. New bold Morris, Mrs. Prescott Lawrence, Mrs. Charles A. Post, Mrs. Frederic Goodridge, Mrs. John Ewing, Mrs. John Warren, Mrs. Royal Phelps Car roll are among the society women who have real faces, which, however. they seldom use to embellish their gowns
 Mrs. Marshall G. Roberts and Mrs Bradley Martin possess some rare and very choice faces, and it has been said that the old faces owned by Mrs. Whit ney and Mrs. Levi P. Morton are col lectively worth over $1OO,OOO The Belmont faces were also once famous collection of rare examples of artistic handiwork of great value and beauty. New York Sun.

Editor of Ne,cs:
 Incidents that transpired in our youth are ever at our command, while those of yesterday are forgotten. Old Salisbury has not forgotten the dark days of the Rebellion. The erecting and dsdicating of soldiers monument "long promised with none to oppose, has been realized. Though placing in granite large sum of money, but in an l" Iron bound Town" with Iron men, and an Iron Bank, almost anything can be done.
 Four score and six 'young." The anecdote of Silas Wells under the cap tion of handling" brings wildly to mind little quick work in that line, done by s6 ''young" some thirty-fve or forty years ago. It was in Salisbury. The school (academy) were having an exhibition iu the old town hall. The room was we'll filled. The exercises were going on when disturbance was noticed. The principal being near at hand, raised his cane to punish the offender. Just then Silss Wells thought fast" standing near by, step- ped up and said, "I will take charge of him." Suiting the action to the word, he collared him, handled him lively, though he was 8 stalwart young man, with very dusky complexion, and in a jiffy he landed him down stairs and out into the street. Every body said ''good for Wells" and felt like giving him three cheers.

Princes and POtentates Are Contributors
 to TeIlo D'Apery's Paper.
 Tello d'Apery, New York's most fa- nous boy editor, is reaping the bitter fruit of success, and has been ordered out of the city by his doctor.
 The lad, now about fourteen years old, is little marvel of acute editorial judgment. It seems to have been born in him. Very early in his editorial ca reer he would be playing with his mar bles or his pet cat when he would say II have an idea. will write to Prince So-and-so and get an article for The Sunny Hour" His ideas always have worked. He has published in his little monthly articles from more kings and queens and princes and war worn gen erals than any three magazines of grownup dimensions.
 Carmen Sylva sent him two poems Osman Pasha, the defender of Plevna, sent him an article for which a maga zine editor would have given much Prince Roland Bonaparte has sent him the manuscript of an unpublished book on science, with full liberty to use ex tracts. The Princess of Wales sent him story. A man publisher hearing of this concluded that he could do as much, and sent blank check for an other. The check was, of course, re- turned.
 Social leaders in New York took the boy up and made pet of him. Their children wrote for him and he was in demand at receptions and fairs, where he was model of boyish department. But all this was hard on a growing boys vitality. Tello will be kept at school in the country, out of reach of city excitements Three days in each month he will have leave of absence to come down and get his paper ready for the press. Next year he will go abroad. and whether he goes to Paris, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Africa, South America or China, he will be able to hobnob with subscribers and contrib tutors of the most imposing and dig nif1ed character.
 The sanctum of this young editor is museum. There are shelves filled WILL CuTlOSlClcS, duu EOWS upOu IOWS OA photographs Most of the distinguished contributors, and some like Queen Vic toria, who have not contributed, have sent him portraits, so that the wall is like gallery of notables. Prince Ro- land Bonaparte is @ splendid looking young man, with slight mustache. Garabed Keshiskian, the publisher of the Constantinople Illustration, is a handsome middle aged Turk, with a fez and full, brown beard.
 Os1nan Pasha's military coat is cov- cred with military decorations. Prince Mavrocordato looks out from another photograph. There is another of Gen eral Sherman and letter, almost the last he ever wrote, and other letters and newspapers in every language. Mir. Keshiskian's Turkish paper has a pie ture of Tello on it's last page, which is it's first, as we would reckon, while the title page was on the back. The type looks not unlike the Chinese firecracker characters. Every number of this young editors magazine has paid from the first. There are few editors who could say as much. The money goes into barefoot fund.- to buy shoes for poor boys. New York | Cor St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The Profession of Beggers Is Overcrowded.
 l met an old man one day who works on lower Broadway and about the City Hall park during the day and in the vicinity of Madison square at night. He has been in the business ten years, and is up to all the tricks of his trade. In consideration of a liberal contribu- tion he consented to talk about the business of professional begging. The old man would not speak of his life be- fore he became beggar, but he used good language, and it was evident he had seen better days.
 ''The business is overdone," he said ''There are too many beggars now, and so many of them are fresh and get caught at their tricks that folks are getting suspicious of all of us. We sui fer from this suspicion more than you suspect. Some people don't give any thing any more, and those who are not sure they are being swindled now give q penny where they formerly gave dimes and quarters. I do not earn half the money did five years ago."
 What particular tale of woe do you find most productive of substantial re- sult2' l asked.
 'l do not conf1ne myself to one story. The old chestnuts of sickness and being out of work for six months with wife and i've children to sup port do not work now. except on coun- try people who have never been to the city before. Folks want something new nowadays, even in tale of pov erty and suffering. often lie awake nights trying to think of some new story of suffering to tell l never tell the same man a tale the second time unless happen to forget his face. have a score of good stories that have used successfully, and am constantly thinking up new ones"
 "How much per day do you average when business is goodp'
 We work for almost nothing now It is good day when we get two dol lars, and we have to work early and late to make that much. The time was when we could collect five dollars in day and not half try. but those good old days are gone to come again no more. Our profession is over crowded, just as the other professions are.

The Baby's Pillow In France.


 France is the country in which the pillow is a necessary complement of the baby. But the attachment of the two Is nowadays characteristically French. It is 8 compromise between the old and the new, between tradition and fash ion, and consequently it is not uni versal. The French baby, especially on gala days is laid upon the pillow, and his fine frocks and gay ribbons, in stead of enveloping his tender body, are spread upon him as he lies. so that he is no more than kind of bas relief In France, however, it must be noted there came earlier than elsewhere in Europe (one of the results of the revo lution) the revolt against mere tradi, ton and usage in the treatment of babies
 Among well to do and aristocratic French folk, in particular, a change in that regard has long been in progress. The French child used to have always it's pillow or cradle; now it begins to lie upon a fresh, wholesome bed, neither of wool nor of feathers, but of hair or straw, or among country or seafaring folk, of sweet dried fern or bracken or pungent smelling seaweed, and gov ernment bureaus circulate among the peasants such directions as these, ''Lay the infant to sleep on it's right side; avoid putting it to sleep in the lap be fore putting it in bed. ."-Strand Maga zine.
