4 Battle with n Rea.

An observer writes US that he Is salts
fed that there is just as much rivalry
between humming birds and bees in
their quest for honey as there is between
members of the human race in their
struggle for the good things of life, and
describes recent qua rrel that he saw
in Portland garden, where humming
bird with an angry dash expressed its
disapproval of the presence of big
bumblebse in the same tree. The usually
pugnacious bee incontinently fled, but
he did not leave the tree. He dashed
back and forth among the branches and
white blossoms, the humming bird in
close pursuit.
Where will you find another pair that
could dodge and dart equal to these?
They were like flashes of light, yet the
pursuer followed the track of the pur-
sued, turning when the bee turned. In
short, the bird and the bee controlled
the movements of their bodies more
quickly and more accurately than he
could control the movements of his eyes.
The chase was all over in half the time
that it has taken TO tell it, but the ex-
citement of pack of hounds after fox
was no greater. The bee escaped, the
bird giving up the whol ) 2 hase and
alighting on a twig.-Portland Tran
script.

Summer Dress of Congressmen.

Visitors to congress are not struck by
the dignity of attire affected by senators
and representatives in these warm days.
True, the atmosphere of both chambers
is almost unbearable lately, but that
need not deter the senators from main
tanning little care in assuming negli-
gee. To see great legislator strolling
around in limp trousers that would apt
ly costume Joshua Whitcomb is not
edifying. The absence of waistcoats is
not a crime; indeed, it is sensible
fashion If proper care is bestowed upon
the arrangement of the garments that
remain. In this connection the fashion
bulletins for congress should advise
gentlemen who lay aside their waist
coats to supply themselves with ample
belts, or even the despised "Gordon
SASH" if they wish to preserve the ad-
miration of visiting constituents. 1t is
very hard to have any veneration for a
body of men costumed with the lack of
care displayed by the senate for the last
few weeks.-Mrs. McGuirk in Kate
Fields Washington.

Another historic house Is in the mar
ket. This is Pope's villa, Twickenham,
which once belonged to the great poet,
and was the scene wherein he composed
many of his works. 1t has been occu-
pied for nearly quarter of century
by Mr.. Henry Labouchere, M. p, and
was some years ago associated with the
performance of "A Midsummer Nights
Dream by company of amateurs and
professionals, which formed quite an
epoch in the history of pastoral plays.
The grounds are extensive and run
down to the rivers edge. The show
place in them is the grotto which is
supposed to have been Pope's favorite
resort. The villa is prettily situated in
a nest of trees and faces toward Ham
house, the residence of the Earl of Dy.

Motors for Hot Weather.

1t is not merely an aggravation when
pedestrian, with pleasing expectancy,
seeks the sidewalk shaded by great
buildings, to find, instead of the cool
ness belonging to shade, outrushing
volumes of hot air through grating and
basement window. How much more
comfortable it would be for the occu-
pants were the hot furnaces and boilers
allowed to go fireless through summer,
and to grow cool, cold, frigid-until the
latter sort of weather came again! This
might be accomplished by bringing in a
cold electric motor or two and a couple
of cold wires. 1t would not only con-
duce to the bodily comfort of all in the
vicinity, but 1be profitable change for
power users.-Practical Electricity.

A Successful Union.

The Pacific Coast Seamen's union,
with headquarters in San Francisco, was
organized in 1885, and its present men,
bership is 1000. The union now main
tains an employment Office, thus doing
away with blood money to boarding
house runners. Before the union was
established the wages of a seaman on
the coast We're twenty-five dollars. The
wages are now from thirty-five to fifty
dollars month, an increase of 25 per
cent. Since 1887 it had been required
of every sailor desirous of joining the
union to be an American citizen or to
declare his intention of becoming one.

GE MS IN VERSE.


We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet waiting singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to number
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them!
Alas! for those that never sing,
But die with all their music In theml
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad story:
Weep for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown of gloryl
Not where Leucadian breezes swept
Der Sappho's memory haunted billow,
But where the glistening night dews wept
On nameless sorrows churchyard pillow.
Oh, hearts that break and give no sign,
Save whitening lips and faded tresses,
Till death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropp'd from misery's crushing
pressesl
If singing breath or echoing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
AS sad as earth, as sweet as heavenl

A Lament.


My brother VIII he used to be
The incest kind of girl;
He wore little dress like me.
And had his hair in curl.
We played with dolls and tea sets then,
And every kind of toy;
But all those good old times are gone
Willis turned into boy.
Mamma has made him little suits,
With pockets in the pants,
And cut off all his yellow curls
And sent them to my aunts;
And Will he was so pleased b'lieve
He almost jumped for joy:
But declare didn't like
VIII turned into boy.
And now he plays with horrid tops
don't know how to spin,
And marbles that ! try TO shoot,
But never hit or win;
And leapfrog-I can't give "back"
Like Charley, Frank or Roy.
oh, no one knows how bad feel
Since Will has turned a boy!
have to wear the frocks he left,
And, OIL they're awful tight;
have to sit and Just be good,
While he can climb and fight,
have to keep my dresses nice
And wear my hair in curl.
And worst-oh. W0rsteSt thing of all!
have to stay girl.
And maybe he'll be president
Or emperor or king;
For boys can do just what they please,
But girls can't be thing.
It's awful dull to sit and play
With Nelly, Lill and Floy;
Why was choosed to be girl
And Will to be n boy2

Mr.. Fenwick and Mr.. Wilson are both

"Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Janctte,
Let me tangle hand in your hair, my pet
For the world to mo has no daintier sight
Than your brown hair yelling your shoulders

But warmly and softly 1t loved to caress
Your round, white neck and your wealth of

Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes had swimming glory, Janette
Revealing the old, dear story, my pet;
They were gray, with that chastened tingc of

When the trout leaps quickest to snap the

And they matched with your golden hair. my

Your lips-but have no words, Janettc;
They were fresh as the twitter of birds, my

When the spring is young and the roses are
wet
With dewdrops in each red blossom SET
And they suited your gold brown hair, my pet.
Oh, you tangled my life in your hair, Janette;
Twas a silken and golden snare, my pet;
But so gentle a bondage my soul did implore
The right to continue your slave evermore,
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, my
pet.
Thus ever dream what YOU WERE Janette:
With your lips, and your eyes, and your hair.

In the darkness of desolate years moan,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet.

The uses of sorrow comprehend
Better and better ut each years end.
Deeper and deeper seem to see
Why and wherefore II has to be.
Only after the dark wet days
Do we fully rejoice in the suns bright rays.
Sweeter the crust tastes after the fast
Than the sated gormand's finest repast.
The faintest cheer sounds never amiss
To the actor who once has heard hiss.
And one who has dwelt with his grief alone
Hears all the music to friendships tone.
So, better and better comprehend
How sorrow ever would be our friend.

Life's Pity.

think the pity of this life is love;
For though my rosebud, thrilling into life,
Kissed by the lovebeams of the glowing sun,
Meets his fond gaze with her pure, tender eyes.
Filled with the rapture of glad surprise
That from his light her glory shall be won;
Yet, when into her very heart he sighs,
Behold she puts away her life-and dies.
| think the pity of this life is love;
Because to me but little joy has come
OF all that most hoped would make life's
sun;
For though the perfumed seasons come and go,
The spring birds warble, cen the rivers flow
To meet some love that to their own doth run,
My bud of love hath bloomed for other eyes.
And am left-to sorrow and to sighs.
think the pity of this life is love;
For from our love we gather all life's pain,
And place too oft our heart on earthly
shrines,
Where we would kneel-but where, alasl we
fall
Beneath a shadow ever past recall;
We seek for gold, when tits but dross that
shines.
Then IL we may not turn our hearts above,
know the pity of this life is love.

Under an appropriate heading the New
York Press reproduces the following
paragraph from The New England Mag
azine for the purpose of showing "what
the free traders seek to introduce here"
The English journeyman has an unattractive
life Starting out to his work, perhaps miles
away, at o'clock in the summer morning
with heavy basket of tools and food over his
shoulder, he often works until absolutely
breakfastless; then half an hour is allowed
him for his cheerless meal of cold tea and
bread and fat bacon; at noon he has an hour
or less for what dinner he has brought with
him and at O'Clock ends his days task, he
sometimes taking light lunch in the middle
of the afternoon.
Leaving out the tariff and free trade
claptrap The Press attempts to work in,
What is there in the condition of the
English journeyman that makes him so
much worse off than his American
brother2 He starts to work at o'clock
a. m. and gets through at p. m, with
one hour and half deducted for meals
That is, he works eight and half hours
day. OF course we all understand
that he is not allowed to arise in time to
get his breakfast before o'clock, as
nearly all the workers in this country
do. If the Englishman did that he
would be able to devote that half hour
at s o'clock to reading and resting,
which is not permitted in tyrannical
England. 1t is surprising that the hard
hearted "free traders" allow their work.

Reading for the Young People.

One cannot go into our farmers
homes without noticing the sad lack
Of books for the children tOread. We
mean books which they would like to
read and which are therefore attract
i've to them. The day has gone by
when the only approved book for a
boy or girl was one that had moral
sticking out Of every page. Any book
that is innocent, bright, wide awake,
and at the same time instructive and
entertaining is a good bOOk-a splen-
did book. And the young people
ought to have just such books, both in
city and country.
We are glad to see that the teach
ers of the state have set on foot a
movement in the direction Of suggest
ing most excellent series of books
for young people Of different ages.
They have also made arrangements
by which the books can be obtained
at wholesale PRICES. An admirable
list has been selected from the publ.
cations Of several houses, and a beau
tiful little booklet describing these
can be obtained from the secretary Of
the Young Peoples Reading Circle
Board-Co. Supt. j. F. Maxey, of OF
tawa, Kansas.
This important movement, inaug
urated by those teachers who best
know the needs of such books at home
and in school, will be a great help t
those often desiring to purchase, but
not knowing where to obtain the best
things.
