The Handkerchief fin Public.

It was not until the reign of the En- press Josephine in France that the pocket handkerchief was tolerated at all as an article for public use. No lady would have dared use one in the pres ence of others. Even the name was carefully avoided in polite conversation. An actor who would have ventured to use one on the stage would have been hissed off the boards. It was only in the beginning of the present century that Mile. Duchesnois, famous actress. dared to appear with handkerchief in her hand. Having to speak of it in, the course of the play she could only sum- mon courage to refer to it as light tissue"
 A translation of one of Shakespeare's plays by Alfred de Vigney was acted, and the word was used for the first time upon the stage, and provoked storm of indignant misses from all parts of the house.
 The Empress Josephine, although real ly beautiful woman, had very bad teeth, and to conceal them she was in the habit of carrying small handker- chiefs. trimmed with costly laces, which she raised gracefully to her lips to con- ceal her teeth. The ladies of the court followed her example, and handkerchiefs rapidly became an important part of the feminine toilet.-New York Herald.

 Asleep in Jesusi Far from thee
 Thy kindred and their graves may be-;
 But thine is still blessed sleep
 From which none ever wake to weep.
 A Scotchman was dying. His daughter Nellie sat by the bedside. It was Sun day evening, and the bell of the church Was ringing, calling the people to church. The good old man, in his dying dream, thought that he was on the way to church, as he used to be when he went in the sleigh across the river, and as the evening bell struck up in his dying dream he thought it was the call to church.
 He said, "Hark, children, the bells are ringing; we shall be late; we must make the mare step out quickr' He shivered, and then said: 'Pull the buffalo robe up closer, my lassi 1t is cold crossing the river, but will soon be there, Nellie; we will soon be there" And he smiled and said, "Just there now." No wonder he smiled. The good, old man had got to church. Not the old country church, but the temple in the skies. Just across the river. How comfortably did God hush that old man to sleepl As one whom his mother comforteth, so God eemferted him.

Floating a Scheme.

Over table in room No. of the Astor House, where so many political schemes have been matched, l had long talk with MT. Davies, the premier of British Columbia. He was here osten- sibly in the interests of his government, but certain railroad scheme also occu- pied good deal of his attention and time. The scheme is to use Hudson bay as waterway by building a railroad from each of its shores respectively to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and thus save many miles of construction. He drew imaginary lines on the table and mapped it all out so that any one could see with half an eye that it was not only good but a great thing. And yet good, great and sure, as he told me everybody admitted it to be, he said that New York fnanciers had advised him to float the stock in the English market. He seemed to think that money was rather scarce article in New York.

 GOD TEACHES BY PICTURES.
 God wishes to set forth the fact that h tho judgment the good will be divided from the wicked. How is it donep By picture; by parable-a fishing scene. A group of hardy men, long bearded, geaEed for standing to the waist in water; sleeves rolled up. Long oar sun gilt; boat battered as though it had bean playmate of the storm. A full net humping about with the fish, which have just discovered their captiv- ity, the worthless mossbunkers and the useful founders all in the same net. The fisherman puts his hand down amid the squirming fins, takes out the moss bunkers and throws them into the water and gathers the good fish into the pail. So, says Christ, it shall be at the end of the world. The bad he will cast away, and the good he will keep. Another pic ture.
 God, our Mother, wanted to set forth tho duty of neighborly love, and it is done by picture. A heap of wounds on t40 KOf10 O . 00LlCuO. A tl ldNClCA AdC DOCn fighting 8 robber. The robber stabbed him and knocked him down. Two min isters come along. They look at the poor fellow, but do not help him. A traveller comes along-a Samaritan. He says "Whoar' to the beast he is riding and dismounts. He examines the wounds; he takes out some wine, and with it washes the wounds, and then he takes some oil and puts that in to make the wounds stop smarting, and then he tears o6 piece of his own garment for 8 bandage. Then he helps the wounded man upon the beast and walks by the sids, holding him on until they come to . tewsrn.

 THROUGH GREAT FERTILIZATION.
 When l see God especially busy in troubling and trying Christian, I know that out of that Christians character there is to come some especial good. A quarryman goes down into the excavar tion, and with strong handed machinery bores into the rock. The rock says, "What do you do that forw He puts powder in; he lights fuse. There is a laundering crash. The rock says, "Why, the whole mountain is going to pieces" The crowbar is plunged; the rock is dragged out. After awhile it is taken into the artists studio. It says, "Well, now have got to good, warm, com fortable place at last"
 But the sculptor takes the chisel and mallet. and he digs for the eyes, and he cuts for the mouth, and he bores for the ear, and he rubs it with sandpaper, un- til the rock says, "When will this tor ture be ended?" A sheet is thrown over it. It stands in darkness. After awhile it is taken out. The covering is re- moved. It stands in the sunlight, in the presence of ten thousand applauding people, as they greet the statue of the poet, or the prince, or the conqueror.
 "Ah," says the stone, "now l under stand it. l am great deal better off now standing as 8 statue of a conqueror than 1 would have been down in the quarry" So God finds man down in the quarry of ignorance and sin. How to get him upp He must be bored and blasted and chiseled and secured and stand sometimes in the darkness.

LET'S SEE INSIDE.

Now that the court house is finished and
in few days will be occupied by all the
county officers. THE TRIBUNE desires to
see the commissioners name date to
throw open the doors and invite the peo-
pie to visit it and examine its finish and
furniture. There is scarcely citizen in
the county who would not avail them
selves of the opportunity. 1t should be a
kind of housewarming. something like a
Methodist love feast or an old fashioned
corn husking. The ladies of this city
might be induced to furnish coffee and tea,
with sandwich, and everybody be made
happy. This building to be fully appre-
ciated must be seen from within. Let the
board act in this matter and we know that
the citizens win be glad to examine the
new court house.

MINISTER EGAN believes that President
Harrison will be reelected, but says that
he should be sorry to see the Irish vote go
solid for either party in November. "They
never received, p he said, ''any considera-
ton from the democrats, and do not de-
serve any from the republicans" The
minister brings with him from Chill pro-
posed treaty providing for arbitration of
all claims arising between the two govern
ments, or the citizens or corporation there
Of. The plan is extremely simple. Three
commissioners are to be appointed to hear
and settle such claims, one by the presi-
dent of the United States, one by the pres
ident of Chill and the third by mutual
agreement; or, if that should fail, then by
the president of the Swiss republic. That
is an entirely sensible way of disposing Of
claims or disputes of any kind between
two friendly nations, and there will proba-
bly, be little difficulty in having the treaty
ratified

TEE public will be glad to learn through
the olympian, that "Vice President N H
Owings, OF the Tacoma, Olympia & Gray's
Harbor road, is going to Chicago in his pri-
vate car" Perhaps it means that he will
hold session on the rear platform, of the
car provided for Washington's representa-
tives. Nick once happened to be at the de-
pot when President Oakes passed through
the city, and had a few minutes conversa-
ton, through the car window His "im-
portant interview with the railroad presi-
dent previously arranged by telegraphic
adVices," was given wide spread publicity
1t is to be hoped that Nick will like the
city of Chicago well enough to make a
prOtracted visit.

WHEN General R. G. O'Brien reaches
Chicago as chief representative of Wash

host of old friends. General O'Brien is an
old resident of Chicago, and was first lieu
tenant of Ellsworth's Zouayes, of that city,
during its palmy days. He came to Wash
ington in 1870, and was organizer of the
present national guard, and has been its
adjntant general for eleven years.
