Evidence Of the most direct variety places
the blame for the destruction Of the British
battle ship Victoria on the admiral who went
down with his ship. All the witnesses who

Tryon confess the responsibility. In all great
catsstrophies there il generally an effort made
TO place the burden on q corpse, and when Adj

Princess and Little Boy.

A fellow guest at the Savoy with the
Princess Eulalie tells of the satisfactory
achievement of the full measure of one
small boys ambition. The little fellow
greatly admired the Spanish woman,
but always at a distance until one day
he took his place at the end Of the cor
rider leading from her rooms with the
avowed intention of at least waving his
hands as she passed. When his patience
was finally rewarded by her approach,
the child's speaking face at once arrested
the infanta's attention.
Stopping, she said, reaching out to
her delighted admirer: what a dear lit
tie boy! Unjust have a kiss!" and she
got it at once, with a hug thrown in, an
enthusiasm which S % pleased the royal
woman that she asked the name and
residence Of the young hero. Finding
he was living in the hotel, at her next
leisure she sent an invitation to his par
ents to come with him to her apart
ments, where they were received with
great cordially and the small boy pet
ted by the child loving princess to his
hearts content.-New York Times.

some brush in a thickly wooded r%avine,

This was after midnight, and the child

search and retired for the night long be-

Peanut Candy.

Some gloomy day, when young folks yawn
And wish the weary hours were gone.
Go to your storeroom and there get
Brown sugar, heavy, almost wet;
Send some one to a peanut stand
A quart, fresh roasted, you'll demand.
Set all the children Smelling these,
And make them whistle, if you please.
When these are shelled, chop, not too fine;
Butter some piepans set in line;
Then take a pound of sugar, turn
Into a pan and melt, not burn,
But add no water. When it's done,
And like thick sirup, quickly run;
Your chopped up peanuts lightly salt
And turn them in. If there's no fault.
Stir just a minute, pour in tins
And cool-and then the fun begins.

The Real True Way to Catch Bullfrogs.

When we were at Chattanooga, we
learned how to catch bullfrogs where
they inhabit ponds. Just take a light
and wade in around the edge after dark,
and they will sit on the edge and look at
the light until some one on the bank can
catch them. Mr.. Saunders, near Ring
gold, was the man to try it, and he
caught SO the first night.-Walker

Quiet WAYS Are Best.

uANs DtS
What's the use of worrying.
OF hurrying
And scurrying,
Everybody hurrying,
And breaking up their rest?
When every one is teaching us,
Preaching and be~seeching us
To settle down and end the fuss,
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers;
Sweet fragrance from each trimming CUP
The gentle zephyrs gather up.
There's ruin in the tempest's path;
There's ruin in the voice of wrath;
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.
Nothing's gained by worrying,
By hurrying
And scurrying,
With fretting and with flurrying
The temper's often lost.
And in pursuit Of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
IT'S better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along.
Reluctant they to raise a fuss
Or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength is always in reserve,
And nobly stands each test!
And every day and all about
By scenes within and scenes without,
We can discern with meier a doubt
That quiet ways are best.

In the Dollroom.

I'm going out a little while,
And you must promise, Dolly,
To sit as quiet as a. mouse,
And not go romping DER the house
With pussy cat and Polly,
For pussy's claws are very sharp,
And they are sure to scratch you,
Or if you get in Polly's reach
She'll give an awful, awful screech,
And with her beak she'll catch you.
And don't go missing up your things
Or get your dress in creases;
Don't put your hands up to your hat;
Your bangs are loose-remember that
And they may come to pieces.
Don't pull the buttons off your shoes
Or laugh when Polly chatters;
You mustn't mind her talk a bit,
But only shut YOU eyes and sit
And think of other matters.
And promise, Dolly, not to pout,
1t makes you look SO simple,
For every time you frown, you know,
1t makes the horrid wrinkles grow
And spoils your pretty dimple.
You'd better go to sleep. for then
I'll have no cause to scold you.
By by, my dear-now try and see
How good you really can be
Remember what 1 told you.

GE MS IN We
sIan's Best Friend.

o thou whom men call death, but angels life,
Thou com'st in varying moods and various
shapes,
In battlefield and carnage, blood and strife,
Or to the somber couch that friendship
drapes.
A terror and a dread thou meetest some,
A chilly fear, a vague and startling cry.
With altered form thou dost to others come,
Who welcome thy approach without a sigh
To younger hearts thou oftenest art a dread.
To those whose sun beyond the middle sky
passed, and who have laid to rest their
dead,
With glad and welcome sound thou contest
nigh.
Man in his bondage often feareth thee,
But thou his best friend art to set him free.

The Water Trick.

The trick I will explain calls for two
glasses, one of which must have water
in it. Put the one containing the water
at your left hand and cover it with a
piece of cardboard. Beside it, at your
right hand, is an empty glass just like
the first one in shape and size. You now
invite some person on your side of the
table to make the water glass appear on
the right and the empty one on the left

Rather Sour For a Little Girl.

Midget was such a very busy little
person that she could never see anything
lying on the table in her reach without
handling and sometimes tasting it. One
day her mother had left an open pack

sooner did she turn her back when
Midget put a large lumpin her mouth.
When her mother turned around, the
little girl said, with a very wry face,
"That is awful sour ice. mammal

without touching or moving either glass
or allowing any one else to do 80. After
they have given up this problem you
hold your hands near the glasses to show
that the water is on the left, and by
simply passing around the table and fac
ing the glasses from that side you have
the water on your right. This is simple
and easy, but it will cause a laugh. Big
bets have been won and lost on more
trivial tricks than this little one.

Once on a time there lived a maid
Who never was of mice afraid,
A perfect game of whist she played,
This maid enhancing.
OF gowns and styles she never talked,
Attempts to compliment she baked.
For exercise she only walked
She hated dancing.
She wolI 40 loud, queer colored glove,
She yet had been in love,
Her bureau held no picture of
The latest actor.
And, furthermore, she never went
To matinees, nor never spent
Her change for soda; roses sent
Could not attract her.
OF slang she never used d word,
OF flirting she had never heard,
Society-it seems absurd
She did not care for.
At gay resorts where men were not
She never seemed to care a jot,
Until the mothers wondered what
The girl was there for.
No one will know from whence she came,
She left no record but her fame,
Not even can we learn her name
Or what her station.
When did she live? How did she die?
She lived in fancy. It's a lie.
I've only tried to practice my
Imagination.

The Golden City.

Have you heard of the Golden City
Mentioned in the legends old?
Everlasting light shines DER it,
Wondrous tales of it are told.
Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its cleaning wall.
Wrong is banished from it's borders,
Justice reigns supreme DER all.
We are builders of that city;
All our joys and all our groans
Help to rear its shining ramparts;
All our lives are building stones;
But the work that we have builded,
Oft with bleeding hands and tears
And in error and in anguish,
Will not perish with the years.
1t will be at last made perfect
In the universal plan;
1t will help TO crown the labors
Of the tolling hosts of man;
1t will last and shine TRANSPORTED
In the final reign of right;
1t will merge into the splendors
OF the City of the Light.
