THROUGH THE WHEAT.

Sweet roscs-not so sweet, know.
As she was-Mary!

Or tinkling music from the ground
That thrilled the winds that whisticd round
With sweet carcsses,
And on her forehead. white and sleek,
The rarest blossoms fell to wrea.S

In her gold tresses.

Few persons can understand what
time and words are wasted over the
etiquette of royal mourning; whether
it shall be worn seven days or fourteen
for the prince Of = neighboring state,
and whether . court may wear mourn
ing concurrently for two or three
princes, or whether each must be
honored with separate term Of mourn
ing. As nearly all the royal families
of Europe are more or less related, the
custom of cumulative mourning has
been adopted, otherwise they would
never be out Of black. Nowadays no
official notice is taken Of . royal death
until the formal announcement has
been made by an envoy. Then, II sew
eral deaths have occurred, It IS ar
ranged that they shall all be announced
on the same day, which is rather an
ingenious way Of reducing the length
Of time necessary for indulging in such
a ridiculous bit Of royal tomfoolery.-

specimen Of Nicaragua is from
fifty to one hundred feet high
and about two feet in diameter. The
bark is white, and the leaves oval, with
. slight inclination downward. The
cuts are made about two feet apart,
and generally extend from the ground
to the first branch, channels being
scored in the sides to lead the juice
into bag. The average yield Of tree
is from five to seven gallons of the

Juice Of the ''wisth," which hastens

M0dern Building.
Architecture must be studied rs liv-
ing thing. not rs dead language. Tho
Gothic renaissance has done its work.
With all its faults and extravagances h
has been the parent of all that is good
In our modern architecture. 1t formed
An inevitable stage in our re-awalxing
from the state of coma into which all
art lapsed under the regency. No re-
vival of art has ut any period come
about except in this way; il has always
begun by the attempted revival Of q
bygonc and dead style. It was 80
with the attempted renaissance
Of the dead Roman art bv
Charlemagne and the Lombards,
which failed in its prime object
but resulted in the new and living
Gothic Of the Middle Ages. 1t was SO
again with the Italian Renaissance of
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,
which again began by servile worship
of the antique, but ended by filing
Europe with q neo-classic art almost as
far removed from the vitruvian model
Is Gothic itself. And 30 il viii Be with
MS II we turn our opportunities to good
account.
We began by careful and even slavish
reproduction of Gothic architecture,
hoping and believing that we should
breathe new life into il and make it
rise up and walk. We have tried Il
with Tudor. with fourteenth-century
work, with early French, with thir-
teenth-century geometrical. with all
the phases of Gothic-English, French,
Italian. German and even Spanish; and
yet, though we have managed to
get our figure ON its legs and
prop IL upright, it refuses 70

coNsoLED THE WRONG MAN.


Horse.
A rather rakish-loOking fellow occu-
pied the second seat. with . horse
shoe scarf-pin and . long mustache,
which he chewed spitefully as he
looked over n veterinary surgeons
bill and frowned. Just ahead of him
good old Presbyterian preacher sat
with a mourning man, who had just
buried his wife. And, as the B. 4 o. S.
w. express moved down its west-bound
time-card, the minister spoke soothing
words of comfort to the bereavcd hus-
band and sought to console him in his
grief by hopes Of future life and les
sons to be learned by bitter trials hero
below.
''She was q good woman-a very
good woman, Henry. but the Lord had
need of her, and we must bear it brave
ly."
The husband choked. but said moth
ing.
The minister arose. passed down the
car and took cool drink of ice water;
then. with bended head and heartful
mind still deep in sympathy, returned
and sank into the seat.
There may be yet some now un-
known lesson in this loss, " said he, soft
ly. to his companion, not staring ut him
in his grief.
"Ycs." was the reply. tinged with ILL
temper; I'm know dern sight better
than to hire such highwayman for .
doctor again.
Somewhat surprised. the minister ex-
claimed: But then, my friend. what is
all that compared to her worth to you?"
"But you see I had her heavily in
sured. and wasn't . red cent in the
hole; but this chump flung the stinger
into my pocketbools for all he's worth,
because he knew had the stuff. And
she amt becn worth SO much to me
after all-she's lost me more than she
was worth from first to last I'll never
take mp any of her blood again-thcre's
. bad streak in it."
Shocked beyond expression at the
heartless words, but knowing that deep
grief often unseats reason, the minister
sought to soothe the unsettled mind:
II never knew her family, but she
was good in her ways. and always did
her best"
''Oh, yes, she's good enough in her
line, but. confound her skin, she never
did her level best Why, blame it,
man, she'd lay right down and give it
up when she had everything her own
way, hands down. by Joe, you ought
to . seen her slap the mud in Nancy
Ms face at Sabina last fall!'
"What?'' gasped the raralyzed min
lister.
''Why, she knocked her eye out in a
jog trot till she reached the finish. and
let down thsre-give up. dogone her!
But I've entered her on the kite track
at Chillicothe for the summer meet,
and il she don't pull down third money
in the four-vear-old .:25. I'll knock a
knot-holc in her neck with u fork
handle.'
With an articulatc gargle Of horror
the minister turned and looked At his
companion.

seat with the Kentucky horseman, who
had just received the doctors bill for
attendance upon his trotting mare dur
ing q siege of pneumonia.-Cincinnati
