They had been married for several
years, and had gradually risen from
poverty to affiuence. One evening
Joe settled himself back in his chair
with a self-satisfled air and said:
Things have changed some since we
were married, haven't they, Nary"
"A great deal, joe" she replied
quietly. "The first year was pretty
hard, he went on. 81 didn't make
any more than enough to pull us
through But l told you then I'd
get up; and have" "Yes,' she adj
mitted, "you have. You've made it
much easier for me, financially. p"
And I've worked hard TO do 1t, he
said with some pride; Il have toiled
night and day; and | will do better
still; you shall be even more comfort
able than you are now" you are
very kind, Joe. said Mary, with a
faint smile; nevertheless, I've some
times wondered il you quite under
stood the clergyman who married us. !"
Why, what have | done?" he asked
suddenly, Strengthening up in his
chair. Nothing wrong, L suppose,
joe" she replied in the same quiet
way, "but it has seemed sometimes
Just a fancy of mine, perhaps-it has
seemed as though you thought you
had married the Office. 1t sees more
Of you than-than-" She stopped.
1t wasn't necessary to say any
more. 1t was only necessary to
kiss him to show that it was not in a
purely faulttlnding spirit that she
spoke, and she did that. And the
lesson that moncy-well, the lesson
WAS not lost on him.

The City Of FInMers.

There is probably no town in tho
United States so devoted TO the hold
ing of flower and fruit festivals as
Los Angeles, California. No sooner
is one fair over than another COM
mences and the same spirit is observ-
able in all the smaller towns. II is this
spirit which encourages tho growth
and culture of flowers, and undoubted-
ly there are few spots where flowers
are given so much care. Everybody
seems TO possess garden, and the
consequence is that flowers can be
bought more cheaply in the shops of
the San Francisco florists than they
can in the Los Angeles fower-stores.
What strikes the stranger as most
singular are tho floral displays in the
offices. There is not bank In town
upon whose high desks great lunches
of roses do not rest. The paying and
receiving tcllcrs' desks, the cashiers
desk, the managers desk, the presi-
dents desk, in fact, nearly every desk
has bunch of exquisite roses. = San
francisco Chronicle.

Relics OF the War.

Mr.. William S. Wells, of the firm
of William S. Wells & Co., has some
very interesting war relics, collected
by himself during the late war. Mr..
Wells was naval officer on the fri-
cute New Ironsides, and served from
November, 1862, until 1870.
Among his curiosi les is fragment
of the frigatc's iron deck pla ing
which was torn out by tcn-inch shot
in the second iron-clad attack on
Sumter. This shot furnished good
illustration of the old saying that
CAN is fair in war;" etc. In the first
iron-clad attack on the fort. the
Keokuk was sunk. Afterwards the
Confcderates obtained possession of
her ten-inch guns, and turned them
effectively against the Union fleet.
One of these guns was particularly
offensive TO the frigate New lronsides.
and ripped her iron plating consider
ably. The fragment of the deck
plating referred to is two inches
thick, four or five long, and about
three wide. The impression of the
shot was made in such way that lis
size and kind could be calculated.
Another bit of rusty iron, smaller
than the one described, is fragment
from a gun on the deck of the frisate
Congress. 1t was clipped of by Mr..
Wells eight months after the Congress
had been wrecked by the Merrimac.
A relic which Mr.. Wells praises
most highly is the twisted piece of
wire which was used by the Confeder-
aics to explode the mine under Fort
Fisher, where so many of the Union
men were destroyed.-[Ncw Haven

Armies in fiction are much moro
interesting ard consistent than they
are in reality, the Listener thinks.
In the first place, officers of the Same
grade always have the same general
characteristics, so that one can see at
a glance the part they are destined
to play in drama or story. Here,
for instance, is your general of fiction.
He is always very grand; hasn't very
much to say, and generally wears
mustache and white sde-whiskers.
He is not, however, so strongly indi-
yidGalized as your colonel. A colonel
in story-is always very tall,
spare, elderly, and generally stiff in
the knee-joints. Sometimes he is i'll,
naturcd, but is capable of great mag,
nanimity and generosity. Always
bestows his blessing on young people
at the right placc-and is frequent
~ imposed upon by them. He inya.
rlably has resources outside of his
pay, and is Fever dissipated. Your
major OF fiction. on the other hand
there are no lieutenant colonies in
novels-is a bad egg in a harmless
way. lie is much given to the flow
ing bowl, and always has a fiorid
countcnance as a result. He is short
of stature, and given TO strutting. Is
q terrible talker, brags a good deal,
and says "Egad!" on all occasions.
He fights, but in a comic way: he
nf pfNffli0nC nr1 &c nj, -,
need of money. Captains are of two
sorts, in novels. One sort is the
somewhat elderly captain, who does
not get on very well in the service.
He is always bluff, generally good
looking and frequently dissatisfied
with things. He is of medium stat
ure. The other kind of captain is a
dashing young fellow, sort of glori-
fed lieutenant. The rank of lieu
tenant is the most important in flc-
ton. Economically, heroically, the
lieutenant outranks the field mar
shall. In point of physical beauty he
6urpasses all the rest of the army. In
battle, the duty of 'leading charges"
falls upon him in special way, He
is generally poor, but always wears
good clothes, of course. In horse
manship and magnanimity he excels
all other grades in the service. Wom-
en- seldom fall in love with any officer
but lieutenant, though the major is
the prey of designing widows. AS
for the non-commissioned officers,
there are great differences between
sergeants and corporals. Sergeants
are III. ,;-witted and solemn and cor
porals efficient and witty. Armies
could not get along at all without
corporals. One gets the impression
that they rather run things, and that
commissioned officers are merely for
social purposes and for leading
charges. Thus the army in novel
and DRAMA pretty picture on the
whole.

The great ocean steamers are all
trying to break the record for speed
IN the voyage across the Atlantic.
Hence unusual care is taken in keep.
ing the exact time.
The British government has a man
stationed at Rochc's Point who is paid
to record in a took the exact time
these steamers pass his signal station.
both inward and outward bound.
Since the acute rivalry between the
feet ships of the White Star and In
man lines has sprung up, this man
has been more than ordinarily careful
in carrying out his Instructions In
passing Rochc's Point the vessels go
through chennel hardly three miles
wide, and, as general thing, they
pass within an easy mile OF the gov
eminent signal station.
Since fast ships began to reckon
their speed so carefully, this signal
officer has timed them from the mo
ment they were exactly abeam Of his
station. The outward bound vessels
usually go past him at full speed.
What becomes OF them after that is
no concern to the s!gnalman. lie
Immediately telegraphs his record to
the steamship agents in Queenstown,
where it is forwarded to the main
Office at Liverpool. Both the Inman
and White Star lines have a man of
their own at Roche's Point to make
observations and figures. Sometimes
they differ. But if, by any possible
chance, the question of a vessels act
ual time came up in a British court
of law, the Government signalman's
figures would stand.
In similar way the Official time
on this side is taken the moment the
vessel is abeam Of Sandy Hook, just
| outside New York. The line is set
by the compass and the telescope does
the rest. The moment of crossing is
almost as clearly defined as in the
case of the running horse on the track.
Passengers on the transatlantic
steamers date the time of their pass
age either from Lands End or from
the time the vessel starts until She
comes TO anchor. The steamship
companies do not take this into ac-
count at all in their Official records.
They know the time, OF course,
that vessel leaves Liverpool, and o.
her arrival at Queenstown. But this
is not considered in the record of her
passage. The subsidized mail boat:
