The Modern French Girl.

There are no French grisettes nova
days. The sunny, trim little maid who
has done such admirable service in play
and romance has disappeared. The race
has given way to another-one more
worldly wise, more mercenary.
The grisette had illusions. She be-
ieved the student she loved would be a
great man some day. So she worked for
him, earned two or three dollars a week
making artificial flowers, passementerie
or the like.
But the young person who has taken
the place Of the grisette is of an alto
gether different class-more modern,
more practical. less given to illusions
and romance and with tolerably well de-
fined notions as to the value of money.
Her ideas Of dress are always expressed
in the very latest fashion. She has per-
feet taste in the combination of colors
and the arrangement of drapery.
If the conversation takes personal
turn she will let ytu know, with the
most charming amiability, that she is
the daughter of a colonel-generally a
colonel in retirement-and that she has
been only short time out Of such and
such a convent, where she was educated.
She is almost always pretty. of agree
able manners and rather intelligent,
though she firmly believes that man
with a hunchback is sure sign of good
luck.-lrish Times.

Animals Eyes Flag Traia-.

"Yes, we have good deal of expert
ence with wild animals" remarked an
engineer, 'tbut not so thrilling as that of
the engineers on western roads when the
buffalo was common on the plains. But
there is enough still left of wild animal
life to make it interesting. The eyes of
the wolf. coyote, wildcat, jack rabbit,
polecat and other animals look like red
light when facing the headlight. Did
not these animals quickly undeceive us
by turning their heads, an engineer
might think his train was being tagged
and stop his engine. The wolf, wildcat
and coyote are quick and jump from the
track, but the jack rabbit is less fortu-
nate. The headlight has strange fas-
cination for this animal and often it is
killed. d."-Denver News.

The Wise Lady of Kalamazoo.

She had come down from Kalamazoo
and was seeking quarters in a Detroit
hotel. She was about fifty and the
years had taught her great conserva-
tism and caution.
"Is this safe tavern to stop imp she
inquired of the chivalrous clerk, who
was at that moment wearing his dia-
mond pin on his back, or rather the coat
for whose value the pin was collateral.
"In what respect, MADAME" he asked.
Fire, of course" she said suspicious
ly. "Ain't anything else to be afeard
of, is there?'
"Oh, certainly not, madam; certainly
not" he hastened to assure her. "And
as to fire, our house is absolutely fire
proof. and even if it was not, we have
fire escapes everywhere"
Fire escapesr' she exclaimed, with
gasp, reaching for her bundles. "Well,
if your drafted house is fireproof what
have you got escapes for the fire for?
s'pose you've got burglar escapes TOO.
guess don't want to sleep in no taverns
like this. Good evenin," and away she
went, leaving the clerk in a perfect halo
of despair and disappointment.-Detroit

Only One Poisonous Snake in England.

Of the 1900 different species of snakes
which are now known to naturalists, the
great majority are not poisonous, and of
the four kinds of snakes, or snakelike
creatures, which inhabit England, only
one is venomous. This distaste for ser
pents which most persons experience,
gives way in many instances to feeling
of interest rs soon as, without risk OF
danger, they become better understood.
The collection of animals at the London
Geological gardens has now for many
years included considerable number OF
snakes, and SO has greatly helped to diff
fuse more rational sentiment in theil
regard. But much yet remains to be
effected before that admiration for ser
pents, which their beauty and the many
points Of interest they possess really call
for, is felt by educated persons in gen.
eral.-Quarterly Review.

Patti,s Wonderful Castle.

The house In which Patti lives is one
of the most interesting of homes. Craig
y-Nos castle, as the songstress has chris
tened it, is hidden away in the wild hills
of the Swansea Wiley Of Wales. 1t
would be one of the most inaccessible
spots imaginable were it not for a little
railway which runs within four miles of
1t. In pleasant weather it would be diff
ficult to find a prettier bit of landscape,
but in wet and wintry weather, when
storms sweep through the valley and
transform the tumbling little Tawy
river into a foaming torrent, it is good
place to keep away from. PATHS rea-
son for choosing a home there wss a
good one. The peculiarly moist atmos-
phere of the place suited her voice better
than any other locality she could find on
the English side of Dover straits. Hav-
ing once determined where she would
live, Patti began to build home con-
sistent with her ample ideas of comfort
and luxury.
The most remarkable thing about
Craig-y-Nos is that such an establish
ment is to be found in such remote
part of the country. 1t is very much as
though Jay Gould had built his Irving
ton palace in the heart of the Adiron-
dacks instead of on the slope of the
Hudson river. In point of architectural
beauty or extent of acreage it would be
absurd to compare Craig-y-Nos with any
of the great ancestral estates of the Eng
lish aristocracy. The castle takes its
name from a huge, i'll shaped hill called
Craig of the Night. To get around this
hill and make her house moderately ac-
cessible from the railway station Patti

Exercise and Pure Air.

Exercise, as well as pure air, helps us
in our constant struggle against the
poisons that we manufacture within
ourselves. 1t does this by driving the
blood charged with oxygen, by means of
the pressure of the muscles called into
play. more thoroughly through the It's
sue, and thus it would quicken the
breaking down of dead tissue into its
safe and final waste products (water,
rarbonic acid and urea), and shorten the
period during which the dead tissue
was passing through various dangerous
forms which it temporarily assumes.
From this fact we may infer that the
man of sedentary life above all others
requires pure air.-Popular Science

Teaching q Girl a Lesson.

She happened to catch a Greene and
Gates avenue car that was crowded with
business men on their way to the bridge
and sprinkling of women and school
boys. She looked around in vain for a
seat, but the men had their noses buried
in newspapers and possibly did not see
her. She stood almost directly in frae,.
of gallant schoolboy who was studying
'CRsars Gallo Wars" and he arose and
proffered his seat. The young woman.
without even a nod of acknowledgment,
Topped down with an injured express
sion, as though she was just inheriting
her rights, which she should have come
into long ago.
Excuse me- said the youth, mis-
chieyous twinkle Illuminating his eyes,
"but think left one of my books on
the seat"
At this point everybody looked up,
seemingly all at once, and saw the young
woman rise, and the young man reseat
himself, with a very audible Thanks"
That young woman's embarrassment
was painful. Everybody was smiling.
and not few old codgers chuckled. 1t
was cruel thing to do, and, as the
young fellow says, he did it all on the
spur of the moment, and would proba-
bly, not have done it had he thought
twice. However, he has evidently taught
one young woman the appropriateness
of gratitude, even in small things

The sublime.t Poem of ANTIQUITY,

The Sublimest Poem of Antiquity.
The sublimest poem Of antiquity is
impersonal, yet written il the Hebrew
tongue. The book of Job, the life
drama of the Man Of Uz, towers with
no peak near 1t; its authorship lost, but
its fable associated in mind with the
post-Noachian age, the time when God
discoursed with men and the stars hung
low In the empyrean. 1t is both epic
and dramatic, yet embodies the whole
wisdom of the patriarchal race. Who
composed it? Who carved the Sphinx
or set the angles Of the Pyramids? The
shadow of his name was taken lest he
should fall by pride, like Eblis. The
narrative prelude to Job has the direct
epic of simplicity-a Cyclopean porch
to the temple, but within are heaven,
the angels, the plumed lord of evil be-
fore the throne of a judicial god. The
personages of the dialogue beyond are
firmly distinguished: Eiphaz, Bildad,
Zophar, Eihu-to whom the inspiration
Of the Almighty gave understanding
and the smitten protagonist himself,
majestic in ashes and desolation.
Each outvies the other in grandeur of
language. imagination, worship. Can
there be height above these lofty ut
terances' Yes; only in this poem has
God answered out of the whirlwind, his
voice made audible, as if an added range
Of hearing for space enabled us to COM
prehend the reverberations of super
human tone. l speak not now of the
motive, the inspiration Of the symphonic
masterpiece; it is still mortal creation,
though maintaining an impersonality SO
absolute as to confirm our sense of mys-
terry and awe.-Edmund Clarence Sted-
man in Century.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Many persons ciiticise in order not to
seem ignorant.
Howe'er it be, it seems to me It's only
noble to be good.
No fountain is so small that Heaven
may not be imaged in its bosom.
When you talk to man about his sins,
don't stand over him with club.
With women the desire to bedeck
themselves is ever the desire TO please.
The same refinement which brings US
new pleasures exposes us TO new pains.
Polish is given, not by adding some
thing, but by removing imperfections.
Without the ideal, the inexhaustible
source of all progress, what would man
be?
Use pompous personages as you do
fre-always keep them at a proper dis
tance.
Lay by good store of patience, but
be sure that you put it where you can
find it.
No man can get very much of an edu-
cation without going to school to his
lulSIdk6S.
Ambition often pays the wrestler's
trick of raising a man up merely to fling
him down.
There isn't anything but chaff in Civ
ing the devil most of your time and near
iy all your money.
Be deaf to the quarrelsome, blind to
the scorner, and dumb to those who are
mischievously inquisitiye.
Some people would have more feeling
in religion if they would first feel lit
tie deeper in their pockets.
Nothing can bring you peace but your
self. Nothing can bring you peace but
the triumph of principles.
If your religion is only visible on the
Sabbath it will never make your next
door neighbor want to quit his meanness.

Two Views of Children's Training.
"How can you let your children play
In the street, said one New York
woman to another the other day. Even
in the best neighborhoods you do not
know who may live three doors away
from you, and children will fraternize

"Yes, l know" said the other mother,
"but cannot keep the children forever
indoors, nor do l think the restricted
strolls in the park particularly inspiring.
My children have always scorned their
nurses, and can't see that it does them
any harm to race up and down the
block independently. They learn things,
yes, and come to me to tell me of them.
Better they should learn them now and
have their influence promptly counter
acted. find, too, that often the most
vicious little friend they have is the one
who is tied to his nurses French cap."
