Empress Frederick's Diversion.

The Empress Frederick is rapidly re-
gaining her spirits. She has again
become interested in her estate and
contemplates making permanent
home at Cronberg. The inhabitants of
Homburg are collecting money for the
erection of monument to the late EN-
perorFrederick. Aconcert was held in aid
of the fund and the Empress Frederick,
accompanied by her two daughters,
honored the occasion with her presence.
Victoria, who is at Balmoral, hoped to
have the pleasure of entertaining the
Empress for few days, but the latter
has given up the idea Of going to Bal
moral this year and will instead remain
where she is,

The Brilliant student with Memory
One inch Long.
A Harvard student once told me an
amusing story about himself. 1t seems
that recently his mother had young
lady guest at their home on the Back
bay. and when he came from college
in the afternoon he was introduced to
her. At dinner. also. she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten-
ton to the fair visitor as his mind was
engrossed with problem in his les
sons. However his brothers were as
assiduous as possible in entertaining
her. As it happened. the latter had
engagements out that evening, and. as
Mrs. A. had promised Miss b. to have
one OF her sons take her to the thea
ter. it fell to the lot of my friend
George. the Harvard man. He accept
ed the situation gracefully and in due
time the young couple set off for the
theater. Arriving. George left his
companion at one side Of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box-otfice
and purchased the tickets; then. turn
ing about he looked toward the place
where he had parted from the young
lady, and was surprised to see half a
dozen there, and-ye gods! is it posi-.
ble?-he could not tell which was his
precious charge! Here was dilemma.
George said he Immediately decided
that rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person. he would stand still
till the young lady spoke TO him. Sc
he gazed at his tickets for what seemed
to him an age. but was probably only
a minute. when Miss b. came up ant

A wee mother is carefully putting her
favorite doll to bed. With tender solic-
itude she carefully removes each dainty
garment and fastens on the tiny night
gown. Then, with fond kiss, She hugs
her treasure to her and places it in It's
little cradle. After patting it gently
she tiptoes out of the room as the twi-
light peeps curiously in.
A fair MAIDEN stands before her look.
ing-glass adding the last touches to her
evening toilet. Her lover will soon be
here! Her eyes are full of inocent love-
light! She looks eagerly at her refiec-
ton in the glass! How glad she is that
she is pretty! She frowns little at a
crimp that will not stay just as it should.
A ring comes at the door and she has
tens away to meet her beloved.
A young wife sits anxiously watching
for her husband. At each approaching
footstep her heart beats rapturously,
and then grows heavy with disappoint-
ment. She will not go indoors, it is so
sweet out there! The creeping shad-
ows cheer her trembling soul; SO she
lengthen into darlxened night.
A mother is rocking her baby to
sleep. He looks at her gravely while
they move to and fro, as II asking how
the bright sunshine must leave and the
ugly shadows hide her dear face from
him. There is wealth of wisdom in
his great, sweet eyes. He holds tightly
to her dress, as If to keep her near him
When at last his eyes are closed she
disengages the loving hand, kisses him
lightly-as he must not be awakened
and arises to put him into his crib.
= Then she sinks back into her chair and
begins to rock again. 1t is so pleasant
to rest in the twilight, and he is so
sweet TO nurse!
A woman kneels by a fresh-made
grave. The headboard stares coldly at
her and seems to say over and over
again the words inscribed upon it: ''He
was heronly child and she was widow.
With tear-laden eyes she bends down
lower ano lower, till her lips rest upon
the earth. She longs so to kiss the
quiet form it is hiding from her! And
the twilight seems to hurry past and
lose itself in the darkness.
A careworn old woman sits watching
the shadows come-they are friends to
her-friends that she welcomes, for
they always sing the same song to her,
Zone day nearer home" And she
smiles on them her thanks. She, too,
repeats "One day nearer home" And
SO life-woman's life-goes on in the
twilight till rest comes to her weary
body and JOY to her aching heart-till
her spirit reaches its home, where never
shadow can fall upon it.

The New Southern Girl.

The girl of the new South is not the
indolent, dreamy, impassioned creature
of ante-bellum days. Something OF

of the North has been infused into her

new product is q most enhancing

vancement of practical progress is

branches of industrial art, from cooking
to stenography and from dress-maklng
