The Wreck of Heaven.
I had vision; nought for miles and miles
But shattered columns, shattered walls of
gold,

had a vision; nought for miles and miles
gold.
And precious stones that from their place
had rolrd,
And lay in heaps with litter'd golden tiles;
While here and there amid the ruined piles
OF gold and sardius and their 9fttering
Wild fits of amaranth had taken hold,
Scenting the golden desert like sweet isles.
And not one soul. and not one step nor sound
Until there started up haggard head
Out of the gold, from somewhere under
ground.
Wildly he eyed me and the wreck all round;
"Who'rt thou?" Quoth !. He shrilled laugh
and said:
''The last of souls, and this is what fonnd
Aye, aye, the gates of pearl are crumbling
fast;
The streets of beryl topple stone by stone;
The throngs of souls in white and gold are
The Jasper pillars lie where they were cast,
The roofess halls of gold are dumb and vast;
The courts o. jacinth are forever lone;
Through shattered chrysolite the blind
winds moan;
And topaz molders into earth at last.
And earth is the reality: its hue
Is brown and sad; its face is hard to till;
Upon mans brow the sweat must hang like
dew,
But grain takes root in valley, plain and
hill,
Tho never here the amaranth yet grew;
And grain breeds grain, and more and more
grain still.

OF WOMEN AND THEIR WAYS.
Some Instances Where Bookkeeping I
Somewhat at Fault.

The lesser financial affairs between
husband and wife present many cur
ious phases of connubial life. The
woman who possessed the historic
quarter of dollar of whose expendi-
ture she was always called to account
long since died. Wives are the most
exacting of money-lenders. The in
terest on their loans outclasses that of
any usurer known, and the scFupulous-
ness with which they exact payment
exceeds any method known to the law.
Every woman up to date has her allow
ance of money in gross sums. These
are hers absolutely, as if she had earned
them. Out of these she can practice
enconomies, and thus lay by, or she is
in position to loan money to her hus-
band. When this is the case she in
variab1y has the best of it. It is the
most difficult thing to remember money
spent in car fare and stamps. But the
tenacity of women's memory to reA
tain the trifing sums she loans her
husband, and the expertness of her
addition seems to show that she only
lacks the opportunities OF modern
finance.
When a woman overdraws her allow
ance, or borrows from her husband
small sums, he is by no means so
clever in his bookkeeping. There is q
| great deal of petty swindling of which
the law knows nothing, and in any
case is covered by the connubial of two
in one. Some women adjust their ac-
rounts and make their economies by
means of their bills. The most gener-
GUS of men, who never falters when
presented with one of his wife's bills,
probably never saw an absolutely cor
rect bill made out in her name, which
is always less or greater than the
| tradesman is aware. A bill she con-
ceives is too extravagant masquerades
| at a lesser sum. The over amount she
makes up on innocent smaller bills.
The rationale of this maneuvering and
| Juggling with accounts she alone
knows; in any case it furnishes life
with a zest and risk that occupies
her mind when there is nothing else at
hand.
There are husband and wife who
have the fashion of putting bills be-
tween books, under pincushion covers,
and places that each regard as unlikely
of suspicion. These caches are for
emergencies and exempt from the de-
mands on the general fund. When the
wife runs short of her resources she
goes out on still hunt until she sur
prises one of her husbands caches
When he is unprepared for new en-.
terprise he takes quiet rammage
among her bookshelyes, perfume bot.
ties, and toilet trinklets. The wife re
lates privately how one ten-dollar bill
changed hands in this manner foul
times before either had chance to
spend it. The matter is never alluded
to between them.-M Y. Sun.

afternoon she caught him talking

Height of Clouds.

The clouds vary in height according
to class. The nimbus clouds, from
which rain comes, are usually the low
est, and range in height from few
hundred yards to a mile or thereabouts.
The cirrus clouds, which are leathery
in appearance, are ordinarily the high
est, and are sometimes six or eight
miles high.

was being made "Bud" West, a noto-
rious character, rode up. "Those
boys shall no. be taken to JAIL" he

fired twice at Rector, both balls strik-
ing his forehead. The young man
fell dead in his tracks. West put
spurs to his horse and escaped to the
mountain. The community is greatly
aroused.

Some persons, with nothing else to

three deaths had occurred from chol-

to be from several immigrants who
had been put off here with cholera.
The report was absurd, as the city new

false, as so far only six deaths have oc-
