IN LITTLE FOLKS EYES.


How strange it would be if the pixies came
down,
And set ups shop in the midst Of our town:
And sold to us spectacles, through which the
guise
OF all things would seem as in little folks eyes.
An little folks eyes, oh, what dreams will come
true,
How long is a lifetime! What things one will
do
How wealthy one is with purse of small size;
For pennies are dolars-iu little folks eyes.
How easy II is from all danger to flee
To a harbor Of safety, on somebody's knee.
How quickly soft kisses and low lullabics
VIII clear away irouble-in little folks eyes.
Such wee clouds Of darkness make everywhere
night,
Such wee gints OF sunshine make everything
bright
And birthdays come slowly, for time seldom
flies
But craws toward the future-in little folks
eyes
What a great world Of singers we'd have before
long
II these magical glasses were sold for a song!
Oh, clowns are SO funny, and sagcs so wise,
And hearts are so honest-in little folks eyes

PLEASURES OF ANCIENT ROME.

The Theaters and the Actors-Condition
j For the delectation of the Roman MO-
pie there were theaters and amphi-
theaters Gibbon says that there were
sometimes 100000 spectators at the
amphitheaters alone, The coliseum
could easily seat 100000. There were
others. The earliest was built by Curio.
and was of wood The first amphi-
theater of stone was that built in the
Campus Martins by Statalius Taurus
Another was built by julius Caesar, and
another by Nero. There were three
principal theaters-called after Pom
peius Magnus, Cornelius Balbus, and
Marcellus-the last built by Augustus
in honor of his favorite nephew. MANY
thousands of gladiators were employed
at the amphitheater; so many that at
one time they rebellei and carried on a
serious war against the republic Three
thousand dancers and MS many singers
daily amused the public. If there
were seats at places of amusement for
100000 people at once, Gibbons estimate
of the total population as l, 75O, 900 is
absurd.
''Such, then, was the condition of the
Roman poor. Food, and wine, and oil,
baths, theaters, and amphitheaters
We're provided either free or at ex-
tremely low charges. There was no
union worllhouse, no labor test. News
papers were circulated regularly, not
only in Rome but in all the camps and
provinces per provincias ct per exer-
citus." 1t may safely be inferred that
both in population and in wealth the
City of Rome under the empire was
fully equal to modern London, while in
the magnificence and beauty of its pub
lie buildings, in the splendor of its
gratuitous entertainments, and in the
profusion of its liberality toward the
poor it was much superior
1t may, perhaps, be objected to these
conclusions that they affect the capital
cities only, and that, after Rome, Italy
had no cities or towns to compare with
Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Bir-
mingham But even this would not be
the exact truth. There were very large
and opulent cities in Italy besides Rome
cities such as Venice. Milan, Naples,
Tarentum, Pompeii, Baiae In fact,
Italy, when the last recorded census
was taken, contained about 1000, 900
citizens-all adult males Adding the
wives and children we have a popula-
ton of $4,000, 900. Adding the libertini,
the foreign residents and the slaves
we have total population of more
than go. 600. 600 National Review

STRUCK IT RICH.
How Luckless Wanderers Have STUMBLED
Upon Gold Mines

Upon Gold Mines.
Gold was discovered in California in
lS4S, and in Colorado in 1858. The dis
covery was accidental in both cases.
and the fact created the impression that
mines were lying around loose" Ad
venturers drifted about in hope Of
stumbling upon a mine" Mr. Thayer,
in his "Marvels of the New West. :
mentions several instances of lucky
stumbling" Three men, while look
ing for gold in California, discovered
the dead body of man who evidently
had been prospecting. Poor fei.

passed in his checks Lets give him
decent burial" said another. "Some
wife or mother will be glad if she ever
knows it." They began to dig a grave
Three feet below the surface thew dis.

was buried in another place, and where
they had located grave they opened a
gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted into
Leadville awoke one morning without
food or money. He went ont and shot
deer which, in its dying agonies,
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
OF gold. The poor man staked out
claim and opened one of the most
profitable mines ever worked in Lead
vile.

to another rich mine in Leadvillee was
discovered by a broken-down miner

A miner died when there was several
feet of snow on the ground. Hiscomrades

a man for twenty dollars todig a grave
The grave-digger, after three DAYS alb
sence, was found digging mine in
stead OF grave. While excavatinc he
mad struck gold. Forgetting the corpse
and his bargain, he thought only of the
fact that he had struck it rich.'
An unsuccessful Australian miner
went up and down in Colorado for sew

But these ''stumblings' are the ex-
ceptions to the rule that mines are

called out a merry voice.
And there was Eleanor Carter,
mounted on fine new Thoroughbred,
and smiling upon him. He came mp to
her at once and greeted her cordially.
He liked Miss Carter-she was so intel
ligent and original. They had ex-
cha nged books and thoughts. He was
glad to meet her again. She was a
stately, fair girl, with golden hair and
deep gray eyes. Nathaniel thought her
beauty. He longed yet feared to ask
about Hetty, but Eleanor replied to his
unspol1en wish: THE Walls came with

men saluted; Miss Carter nodded gay
goodbye and was gone.
Should he'go-and see Hetty? No, he
would stay at home and count the cost
of cultivating those new acres. 1t
would be much more sensible than
joining that gay party of city people.
Yet. in spite of his resolution, Nathan

with Miss Vail and Miss johnson and
Eleanor Carter. He asked for dance

him her card was full. 1t was only
another excuse, he felt sure, yet Hetty
| had always. been so truthful, so frank.
He went home early, cursing his folly
in not obcying his reason and staying
at home.
The next few days were full of hard
work, and Nathanie's labors were
never half done. He felt grateful for
his unusual strength, his large, we'll
proportional body, his perfect health.
What more could man ask for than
to be the owner of so many broad
acres, a pleasant home, and plenty to
do, that he must be signing for willful

usual, with ointment and linen. The
legs were treated and bound. He
picked up the trembling creature in his
strong arms and climbed the steep as

sharp wrench. He tried to put the
lamb on shelving rock, then lost his
footing, and, slipping and falling, help

A THOUGHTFUL WOMAN.
She VIII Not Disregard the Comfort Of
Her Servants.


The thoughtful housekeeper will not
forget the consideration due to her
servant during the extremely hot
weather Even with every care the
kitchen is an almost intolerable place
with the average temperature of the
day among the nineties; any woman
who does not realize this has only to
walk from her cool, darkened sitting
room to the cooks domain to be glad to
hurry away.
The meals should be planned to de-
mand as little heat as possible and an
arrangement ought to be made to give
the cook an hour or two out of the
kitchen in some cool spot during the
day. In a morning call a day or two
ago the hostess excused herself a mo-
ment to call over the basement balus-
ter: rs the door closed into the base
ment hall, Ellen. from the Sitchen?"
No, ma am, came up stairs.
Close it at once, please, the heat
from the kitchen comes up through the
house, and it was further explained to
the visitor on the return to the parlor
that ELLEN" was ironing, and with the
discretion usual to her kind, persisted
in keeping the kitchen door open"
That the girl over the ironing table
needed the circulation of air possible
only by the opening of the door in ques-
tson and the lower area door did not
occur to the mistress. Iel she was a
kind-hearted woman, for she told her
caller few moments later that she had
shopping to do, but it was really too
warm to take out the horse,"-N, Y.

day his thoughts ran on. though his
work never faltercd. If only the VIM
throps hadn't turned their place into
summer resort last year, everything
might be as it was in those delightful
days. which seemed now like past Ar
cadia. Never had the meadows and
orchards looked so beautiful-never
had the wild flowers and ferns grown
as they had when he and Hetty, free
and unconstrained. wandered together
to the woods, or, mounted on their
feet horses, dashed down the road for
a canter. Every day was full of
Hetty. His work was planned to give
the evenings to her, and he had hoped
that She. child as She was. was learn
ing to care for hun. The Stantields
lived the simplest of lives, and
Hetty had been brought up to
lend a hand to all kinds of domestic
duties. But now since summer board
ers invaded their beautiful country side
all was changed. Innocent industrious,
simple-hearted Hetty no longer cared
for such quiet, even round of duties
and pleasures, as had hitherto been her
lot. How soon she had become intl-
mate with the Carriers and Walls. How
quickly she had learned new ways and
those coquettish turns of her pretty
head, and that little trick she had of
dropping her eyes and raising them,
she had learned to dance, And what a
belle she had been at the parties at
Wmthrops" And here it was June
again, and already the seasons raid

Arthur Vail was he supposed, her
faithful shadow, and in the same city

much attention. He supposed they

ache and maddcning doubts and con-
slant pain-oh. why couldn't he give

penses of Single Trip.
In view of the fact that in few
months the Cunard company will have
two vessels afoat which are expected
to reduce the passage between Queens
town and New York to five and half
or five and quarter days, some Stats
tics given by Arthur J. Maginnis on the
ships, men and working of the Atlantic
FERRY are of great interest In ship
like the Teutonic, to begin with, a sum
OF about $1,000, 900 is invested, and the
working expenses are proportionately
heavy. In the sailing, engine and pas
senger departments the large number
of 322 hands are required-47 in the
first, 16l in the second and ia in the
third. The wages paid to these hands
amount to say, $1,000 for the sailing de-
partment, $4,000 for the engine and
81, 800 for the passenger, making total
Of IS, $50 month. When these figures
are considered, together with the other
expenses of maintenance, office ex-
penses, insurance, agency commission,
shore staff, works, port charges. in
terest on capital, and depreciation, it
may be fairly taken that at least the
sum of $4,000 must be realized trip
before any profits can be counted on; so
that some idea of the enormous sums at
stake in the working and management
of an express transatlantic line can be
formed Mr.. Maginnis holds strongly
to the belief that when these vast fg-
ures are considered, together with other
equally extensive requirements, the
chimerical nature of some of the schemes
proposed from time to time for forming
new lines which promise three and four
days passage across the Atlantic can
easily be discerned. He regards them
as overwhelming proof that insur-
mountable difficulties are in the way Of
any company or firm without shipping
experience who can create all at once
service more luxurious and having
higher speed than that now afforded by
the existing lines which would at the
same time prove financial success
