Blazon Columbia's emblem,
The bounteous golden Corn,
Eons ago, of the great suns glow
And the joy of the earth, t was born.
From Superior's shore to Chile,
From the ocean of dawn to the west,
With its banners of green and tassele1
sheen,
1t sprang at the suns behest;
And by dew and shower, from its natal
hour,
With honey and wine It was fed,
Till the gods were faiu to share with men
The perfect feast outspread.
For the rarest boon to the land they loved
Was the Corfu so rich an fair
Nor star nor breeze Ger the farthest seas
Could find its like elsewhere.
In their hottest temples the Incas
Offered the heaven-sent maize-
Grains wrought of goll, in a silver fold,
For the suns enrapture1 gaze;
And It's harvest came to the wandering
tribes
As the gods own gift AMI seal;
And Montezumais festal bread
Was made of its slcrel meal.
Narrow their cherished fields, but ours
Are broad as the continents breast,
And, lavish as leaves and flowers, the
sheaves
Bring plenty and Joy andre
For they strew the plains and crowd the
wains
When the reapers meet at morn,
Till blthe cheers ring and west winds sing
A sbng for the garnered Corn.
The rose may bloom for England,
The lily for France unfold;
Ireland may honor the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield of the great Republic,
The glory of the West,
Shall bear stalk of the tasseled Corn,
OF all our wealth the best.
The arbutus AMI the goldenrod
The heart of the North may cheer,
And the mountain-laurel for Mar yland
Its royal clusters rear;
And jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the South adorn:
But the wide Republics emblem
Is the bounteous, golden Corn!

All humanity has had to creep before 1t
walked, both literally and metaphorically,
and the progress on all fours has always
been attended by more or less destruction
of the dainty raiment in which fond
mothers love to clothe the baby. For pre-
serving as far as possible the pretty frocks
and fiannels various creeping skirts have
been devised. The latest OF these inven-
tions is from a young mother, the wife of a
prominent artist, whose pictures show the
influence of residence in India. The
saHae influence crops out in the baby
creeping costume
The garment is on the plan Of the loose
trousers worn by women in India Itlooks
like bag gathered into a waistband, and
it has four hemmed strings two inches wide
and half yard long that serve as braces.
In each corner of the bottom of the bag the
seam is left open for about four inches and
hemmed around for the foot holes. When
baby's plump little legs have been thrust
through the openings, the waistband buS-
toned in place, the strings tied in bows on
each shoulder and her frock and skirts
smoothed into the envelope, she is pro
tected effectually against the soiling Incl
dent to wiping up the floor with herself,
and is cushioned for the inevitable falls
she is likely to suffer in trying to stand
alone.---New York Sun.

The Art Of reIephOnio Converuation.

The Art OF Telephone Conversation.
ut is singular fact" said Manager
John +. Casey, Of the Bell Telephone COM
pany's exchange, that people had to be
educated to use telephone properly. Not
one person in ten goes at it correctly. Some
people think they have to scream and bawl
Others go to the other extreme and drop
their voices almost to a whisper. Some
stand TOO far from the transmitter and
others speak too rapidly or indistinctly.
Then they get mad and blame the girls or
the telephones. In nine cases out of ten
the fault lies with the person speaking"

can talk from Washington city to Port
land, Me-, in that way and make myself
plainly heard. The best position is to
stand with the mouth about three inches
from the transmitter. Most people stand
farther back, but it is better to stand even
nearer. 1t is almost impossible to get too
near the instrument, provided a distinct
conversational tone is maintained. There
are forty-two girls at that switchboard.

The girls were as busy as hello girls al
ways are, forty-two of them constantly re-

the room was comparatively quiet and con-

The Boston type Of woman.

I had friend from New York with me
In Boston who was a much disappointed
man because he did not meet the Boston
girl with glasses, of whom he had read so
much, or the literary woman dressed in
classical gowns. The fact is, that Boston
girls do not affect eyeglasses any more
than do the girls of New York or Chicago
Nor does one meet the literary woman
with the proverbial classical gownili either
Boston or Cambridge parlor. The liter
ary woman of eccentric dress or manner
ism is as much "back number" in Bos
ton as she is in any other city.
Atfectation of superior knowledge or &c
centric pronunciation forms no more II
part of Boston literary woman's conver
sation than it does of the New York WON
an. Her grammar is, Us a rule, always
perfect; her answers are sometimes models
of evasion, but in this she is not the supe
rior of the cultivated women of any other
of our large cities. The Boston type of a
literary woman is, in fact. more a creature
Of the funny paragrapher's imagination
than a reality. She is not distinct in any
sense from her sister in other cities. She
is simply an American gentlewoman, and
as such she is perfection. Cor. New York
