A Patriotic Daughter.

A young lady, the daughter of west
ern farmer, whose heart overhowed with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home, off her beautiful hair, donned
male a - :, enlisted in company and
went directly to the seat of war.
During the home life she had been the
milkmaid, and her kind treatment Of the
bovine tribe of the farm had made her a
special favorite. But one of the tactical
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting was always
demonstrated. When mustered out Of
service, she returned to her paternal
home, her habiliments being those of the
heroes of the war, and politely requested
permission as stranger for entertain
ment over night, which was readily
granted by the kind host to a returning
soldier.
On the following morning she arose,
and still regarded by the entire family
as a perfect stranger she proceeded In
her soldier garb to her old milking quar-
tiers, and she had not entered the gate
way till she was at once recognized by
her pet COW, which proceeded to meet
her and greet her with all demonstra-
tons of loving animal to dear friend
Then the soldier returned TO the house
hold, and instead of possessing the recog-
nizing powers of COW it was hard work
to persuade them that she was really
their daughter.-Cor. Pittsburg Com
mercial- Gazette.

A Man Sleeping In the Street.

A well dressed man leaning against
lamppost and apparently sleeping the
sleep of the just created great deal of
interest in busy London street the
other day. He sat on box which he
had been carrying.
Evidently, being suddenly overcome
with drowsiness, he had placed the box
on the curbstone, and sitting down upon
it had fallen asleep. To those who sue
ceeded in getting close enough to the
man his gentle. restful snore dispelled
the fear that he might be dead. The
side of his face was exposed and be-
trayed no sign of intoxication. 1t was
the Judgment of every one that he was
sober, in good health and simply taking
a quiet snooze.
When the crowd became so deep as to
threaten blockade, the supposed sleeper
suddenly jumped to his feet, mounted
his box, and hourishing couple of bot
ties over his head exclaimed:
Now, gents, seein that you are all
here, rise to a question of privilege,
and after thankin you for this most cor
dial reception, which l assure you will
long remain upon the tablets of my
memory, wish to call your attention to
my world renowned corn and bunion
eradicator. Exchange.

1.-Two Worlds Should Meet.

Our world is spin uing through space
at a speed OF over 200 miles per min
ute. Should it come in collision with
a globe OF equal size going at the
same rate of speed, what would be
the result? The very best thinkers of
the age tell us that heat enough
would be generated by the shock to
transform both OF the collidiDg bodies
into gigantic balls of vapor many
times their present circumference.
Some have thought that in case the
center OF the earth is composed of
solid and colder matter than is the
generally accepted belief this might
not be the case, but after searching
all the leading authorities / must ad-
NIT that cannot find a more appro-
pirate ''finis" than the following,
which is from an eminent scientist:
SHOULD such an unheard OF event oc-
cur the heat generated would be suf-
ficient tn melt, boil, and completely
vaporize mass Of ice fully 700 times
the bulk Of both the colliding worlds
in other words, an ice planet $50, 900
miles in diameter"

DAYS GONE BY.

Oh, the days gone byl oh, the days gone byi
The apple In the orchard, and the pathway
through the rye:
The c6irrup OF the robin, and the whistle OF the
quail
AS he piped across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale,
When the bloom was on the clover, and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over, In the
days gone by
In the days gone by, when my naked feet were
tripped
By the honeysuckle's tangles, where the water
lilies dipped.
And the ripple Of the river Tipped the moss
along the brink.
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle
came TO drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of the tru-
ants hayward cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer. in the days
gone by.
Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days gone byl
The music OF the laughing lip, the luster of the
eye,
The childish faith in fairies, and Aladdin's
magic ring,
The simple, soul reposing, glad belief In every
thing,
When life was like story, holding neither
sob nor sigh,
In the olden. golden glory Of the days gone by.
James Whitcomb Riley.

Reading of tho schoolboy.

Habits are contracted and characters
formed early in life, and it is probable
that the color of PERSONS reading is
mainly determined during the time Of
hobbledehoydom, when he is in process
of passing from the limp and lanky
schoolboy to the set and rigid man. Just
at this time is a most critical period in
his career, for now it is that he obtains
a new outlook into life. Previously he
has been concerned with the miniature
world of school and looked at the great
er world only with the eyes of school
boy. But now, entering business or
profession, lie enters into larger life and
begins to look about him with an air Of
deeper inquiry. And the more he reads
Of contemporary literature the worse
does he become, for the air is thick with
controversy. Nothing is too sacred to
be contradicted, and the spirit of "sweet
reasonableness" seems to be dead

The Shell of the Pearl Oyster,

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we eat. 1t is of an en-
tirely different species, and as a matter
of fact the shells of the so called pearl
oysters are of far more value to those
engaged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf of California, and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those wa
tiers. In 1881 one pearl-a black one
was sold for SIC, 900, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over 81, 800 each. But such finds"
are very rare, and as a rule the pearls
which are brought up are of very little
value. The shells, however, are very
valuable. Most of them are shipped to
Europe, where they are manufactured
into ornaments, knife handles, buttons
and the hundreds of other articles for
which mother of pearl is used.-Har-
per's Young People.

s.n.rS,s Points xbout Tips:

The greatest abuse of the tipping sys-
tenn in New York is in the fees to JAM
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. 1t has become Gus
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the janitor, bell
boy. elevator boy, etc., certain amounts
every month or fortnight-this without
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service or not.
The result of this indiscriminate tipping
is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not few tenants of apartment houses
have had an experience with janitors
which makes blackmail preferable to the
risk of the repetition of these expert
ences. AS in the case Of walters, there
are a good many annoyances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cured with a club and which do not
even form a substantial basis of COM
plant. And they are not less aggravat-
ing because you can't get away from
them or resent them. But to simply pay
a man unfortunately just because he
is there is plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.
make it rule and can recommend
it after some experience to pay with
reasonable iberality for any special
service-that is, any service above and
outside of that which the man is en-
ployed to render to every tenant in COM
mon. And l never tip such men on gen.
eral principles-that is, unfortunately.
If an understanding to that effect is es-
tablished at once upon going into new
fat, you will avoid all the ills to which
others are subjected and have at call
those who are not only ready and will
ing, but eager to serve you. Begin at
once to compensate literally every per-
son about the place who renders you
special services and pay nobody else a
cent. Follow this rule, and you will in
variably get excellent service and plenty
of attention. This rule will work equally
well with the waiter if you are regular
customer.-New York Herald.

Climb Rule In New York.

l was somewhat shocked last week
while sitting in the Knickerbocker club,
where 1 was busily engaged in alternate
ly gazing on those tiresome wall paper
bouquets and garlands and in keeping
up a desultory conversation with the
only two men of my acquaintance left
in town, to see man whom we all
knew nod to US as he passed the club
window, although accompanied by his
wife. This is certainly very bad form.
A man should show more Difference to
his wife than to any other woman. OF
course he knew better than to bow.
One is supposed never to recognize a
woman acquaintance from club win
dow. Otherwise we approved Of him.

Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty of making complete col
lection of American specimens. The
United States coinage of 1893 is very rare
and dollar of the year 1894 has often
sold for as much as 800. A 1896 half
cent is so rare as to sell readily for $15,
and half dollar of the same year is
worth go times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 is common enough,
all the other coins of that year are rare,
the dollar of that particular date being
the rarest of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out of the
1850 that were coined. The lowest
price that one of these now changes
hands for is $S00.-London News.

Sweetheart Abbey.

There is in Galloway, Scotland, an

balmed upon her breast. Lovely in
their lives, in death they are not divided.
The crumbling masonry is still and must
ever be romance in its symbols Of
death and decay, telling every day, as it
has for 900 years, the thrilling story of
woman's tender love and devotion.-Ex-

rangement, at the same hotel and the
same table. During the interval each
had travelled around the world, one east
