inquire OF FrED."
GREAT SINGER AND A DYING BOY.

The great singer stepped from her
carriage into the swiriing snow and
hurried up the steps of the poor little
Washington. A woman, dim-eved
from tears, admitting her stopped and
kissed passionately her fur gloved
hands.
The good God bless you,l mad
ami" she cried. In here-he is in
here!"
She pushed open the door of a small
bare room-propped on high pillows,
lay a young face, framed in waves of
black hair lit by eyes of blue flame,
a spot ofscarlet on each sunken cheek.
A swift smile flashed over his face
as the singer, throwing off her furs,
came to the bedside.
AT last!" gasped the boy. "Now
| shall get better, mother-better"
The beautiful stranger smiled sadly,
moved back a few steps and looked
into the adoring eyes.
Then she sang.
Low, slow, the round, pure notes
fell from her lips, each perfect as a
fawless pearl. They came lighter,
gayer, sweeter, till one might fancy
them lustrous with color like ruby
sapphire, mounting higher, pulsing
quicker, to spend themselves at last
in one joyous burst-a rainbow
shower OF brilliants.
The singerceased a moment, smiled
into the blue eyes, dilate, imploring,
and began again.
She sang a prayer-a simple, sad,
little melody of her faraway native
land. On its last minor notes her full
voice trembled, and tears of longing
hung on her shadowy lashes.
The blue eyes, too, swan and gilt
tired, but they were imperious in
their b%eseeching, and she sang again.
This time it was a love song-a
rushing cry of primal passion that
swept the soul up on mighty waves
of melody, and left it poised breath
less and quivering on the last high,
fierce note.
She ceased abruptly.
The face on the pillow kept the
mould of the song. The blue eyes
were fixed, the lips parted in ecstacy;
but all the color had left the cheeks,
and a light film glazed the wide eyes.
The mother rushed forward with a
cry.
But the singer smiled as she pressed
down the white lids and kissed the
paling lips.
"Better!" she murmured.

and not the husband, who really un-
derstands about those expenditures.
My Helen is moving along week by

DOWN WITH HER HIGH HAT.

At last the judicial status of the
girls high hat at the theatre is to be
determined. A Minneapolis man
ager has been sued by a drummer
whose view of the stage was OBJ
structed by two enormous hats, I'M
der which were women sitting in
front of him. The usher wouldn't
give him another seat, and his i'm
perial highness in the box office
wouldn't give him his money back,
SO he has gone and asked the courts
whether going to the theatre is neces-
sarily a jug handled scheme, all on
one side, with the handle of the jug
toward the manager.
The metropolitan public will watch
the Minneapolis court news for the
next few years with feverish interest.
We say wears" ~advisedly, because
everybody knows that Justices heel
is made of lead; but her slowness
will be forgiven if, when she raises
her iron hand to do the shifting, she
smites the high theatre hat off the
head Of the woman who sits in front
of everybody at the play.-[N N. Y.

WHAT WOMAN CAN Do.

Miss Marcia A. Douglass has a fine
apiary at Shoreham, Vt. She makes
a speciality of white clover honey,
and ships it to order to any part OF
the country.
ANY one who has followed Miss
Amelia B. Edwards in her marvel
ously entertaining accounts of the
finds" in Egypt, will have his inter
est in the subject q%uickened by the
accounts of the recent discoveries at
Abukir, about thirteen miles from
Alexandria. At four to six feet be-
low the surface were found three
statues of ose granite ten feet high,
with columns and flooring. The
statues are supposed from the in
scription to be Rameses II. and his
queen, the former in two different
positions. 1t is surmised that the
temple and statues were overthrow
after the edict of Theodosius, A. D.
$50, abolishing the Egyptian re-
ligion. Much excitement has been
aroused among scholars by these ex-
tr~aordinary finds" and it is be-
lieved that ere long, if the money for
the work is provided, many contribu-
tions to the education of ancient his
tory will be the result.
An exchange says: LESS than a
year ago the editor of that bright
little magazine, the Dolls Dress
maker, who conceals her identity

PIANO

A good piano is not an instrument
Of a day, but rather of a lifetime.
But this durability is only secured by
giving 1T proper care, says the St.
Paul Pioneer-Press. If a piano is i'll
treated, it DOR rewards the owner
by becoming tin-pannv and harsh in
tone. But all ordinary practice on
this instrument, whether by agrown
person who understands how to
touch the keys, or by a child who is
learning, will not harm it in any
wise. A piano can be kept in daily
practice IN a private family for years
without becoming worn out, if it be
of good tone and make to begin with.
No piano can be thumped or pound
ed upon with impurity.
A piano should be frequently tuned
and by a competent tuner. An in
capable workman can easily work
irreparable injury to the most
perfect and costly Instruments. For
the first ear a piano should be very
frequently tuned, after that the
intervals may be long or short, ac-
cording as the instrument is in
constant use or occasional use.
Dampness is the most dangerous
enemy to contend against in the care
of the piano. If it be kept in a damp
room, or a draught of air be allowed
to play upon it, any instrument
would be ruined, the tuning pins and
the metal portions becoming rusty,
and the cloth used in the construc-
ton of the keys and the action be-
coming swollen. Such a piano is an
aggravation to temper if one at
tempts playing upon it.
If the keys of d piano become dis
colored or dirty, they can be whiten-
ed or cleansed by removing the front
and the slip of wood over them then
lifting each key separately, wipe off
with a damp rag which has been wet
in clean cold water. Dry with a soft
cloth. If the keys are sticky from
fingers, the cloth used in
the beginning can be d%ampened with

AN -UNDERvALUED SISTER.

A boy OF i've or SIX years, accord
ing to story in the Chicago Herald,
was made happy by the arrival of a
baby sister. He had been the only
child in the family, and, being a good
and obedient boy, had been humored
till he was, perhaps. in some danger
of being spoiled. Before the new
sister was many weeks old, however,
Master Fred began to feel that his
own position was sadly altered.
The stranger had supplanted him.
Father, mother and servants were
all the time talking about the baby.
There was no mistake; Fred was no
longer king. The boy began to be
unhappy. and just then he remember
ed a placard which his father had
put up in a conspicuous point on the
premises some months before
ashes to give away. Inquire with
in" Fred had taken great interest
in this notice, and had inquired
minutely into its meaning.
He remembered now that very
soon afterward a man called and
carried away the ashes. He had been
to the kindergarten, and could spell
and print after a fashion. So, with
such helps and hints. as he was able
to get slvly from the servants, he
sign, which his astonished father one
day found posted in a slightly posi-
ton as he came home to dinner:

We are late by an hour or more;
We sway and swerve on the ringing curve,
And the bridges reel and roar.
Look how the engine lurches-
And out of it's window cranes,
With gray eyes wed to the track ahead,
A fellow in greasy jeans.
Scarcely looks like the fellow
To trust with so grave a care
In that grimy face t were hard to trace
The metal that should be there.
Faster we roar and faster
The hand at the throttle shows
Steady enough, if the face is rough
And the landscape melts and flows.
Into the cut-and horror!
There death has the right of way!
The whistle wakes to a shrek for brakes,
And what does the swift brain say?
Jump, for Mol and the babies,
And for dear life's love supremei
Jump from the doom of a crunching tomb
And the hell of the bowling stream.
Stay, for the hero's duty,
The trust of a hundred 1ivesi
Stay, for the sake of the hearts would. break
And for other babies and wivesl
He staysI with white teeth gritting
And with hands that snatch amain,
The monster ruts on reversing wheels,
And the air-brake chokes the train.
