negro woman, was found behind an
old stable in Wilmington, n C. 1t

A Polite Little BOY.

A small boy was sitting quietly in
the cable trailer at Kansas City, when
a very portly woman came in. As
nobody got up to give her seat, she
stood in the aisle at the mercy of the
bumps and twists and turns in the
road. The car had gone about two
blocks, when the small boy got up
and in a whisper, that could be heard
all through the car, said: s'I'll be one
of three men to give the lady a seat. "

From the Baltimore Sun
Fetter's Southern Magazine in its
Christmas number discusses women
in a manner to interest the average
man. Woman, says the magazine,
is "a perplexity to man." and ''she
is disappointed because he cannot
keep up with her." There is a grave,
are told, in almost every woman's
heart. Something is buried out of
sight, and the inscription over it is,
He did not understand" At the
supreme moment of her esthetic life
man has failed to ''catch on" SO to
speak. eff a thing is good today,
man. says the writer, cannot SEE
why an exact repetition oft tomor-
row will not be agreeable, while
woman might change her point of
view." Man moves in a straight
line to a given point, while she makes
hundred circling evolutions." This
deviousness of woman's mental pro-
cesses is cited as the cause of domes
tic infelicity. Sometimes, we are
told, 'people who genuinely love
cause each other to suffer acHtely.
This Gomez sometimes of sensitive
ness and sometimes from selfishness
But the most prolific cause of this
suffering is woman's mood" Thus,
we are brought back to the incom
prehensibleness of woman's mental
processes something no fellow can

LESBOS.
A Paradise In Duodecfmo-The Moral
and Esthetical.

ana ESUneC1caI.
From contemporary accounts, Lesbos
must have been paradise in duodecimo
an island of fair gardens, white temples
blue skies, perfumed hours, mellow
morns, and languid dusks-a land where
religion was more esthetic than moral
where theologians were poets, and where
love was too near to nature to know of
shame. The one worship was beauty.
Nowhere, at no time, has emotional
estheticism, the love of the lovely, the
fervor of individual sentiment, been as
spontaneous and as untrammeled in its
utterances as in that enchanted isle. For
later corners there was little left The
Provencals might turn love into litera-
ture, the Venetians art into color, and
both fancy themselves Greek as thew
posed. But in the pedantic courts of the
Troubadours, as in the sinful anachron-
lsms OF Venice, there is not a trace of
the passion which the Lesbians wove into
the very wool of song, and herewith they
produced what has been justly regarded
the best lyric verse the world has known.
To this Athens of an earlier day-an
Athens with Mitylene for Academe-stu-
dents flocked. a knowledge of geometry,
however, we may be sure was not ex-
acted before admission could be claimed.
Some gracious and unpedagogical famili-
arity with the mirth, magnificence and
melancholy which Homer and Hesiod had
given in fee may have been expected, but
otherwise a vibrant sensibility. a recent
i've mind, appreciative eyes, kissable lips.
and the sultry girls whom Sappho loved
to teach found admission easy. For of
this society Sappho was the center. Even
then her fame was prodigious. At no
period, says Strabo, has any one been
known who for poetry could even in the
last degree be compared to her.

BE CHARITABLE.

Should you meet fallen brother,
Tolling DER LIES weary road,
Lend helping hand unto him
1t will tighten half the load;
Gentle words. in kindness spoken,
OFT will heal a wounded heart,
That through treachery has been stricken
With its merclless, cruel dart.
Should you meet an erring sister,
Do not coldly turn aside
With glance of scorn, so whitening,
Nor with angry words deride;
Though an outcast and forsaken,
Though in sin she stands arrayed,
Kindly words may gently lead her
To the fold from which she's strayed.
If you know friends in trouble,
Go to him with words of cheer;
1t will help him bear misfortune,
If your friendship is sincere;
Friendly words bring consolation,
When the heart is filled with pain.
And LIES storms around us gather.
Bringing sorrow in their train.

OUR BABY.

A tender little soul has come
To make with US her earthly home.
She does not know. she cannot tell.
II she will like this world full well.
Her little feet have never trod
This earth, so nobly planned by God
Her little hands no work can do
But clutch the air-the whole day through,
The dainty mouth-a Cupid's bow,
No evil tho'ts can outward throw.
She has no thought of care or wrong,
Or short her days and nights, or long.
She trusts to gentle hands to feed,
To clothe, and minister to her need
At sound of mothers voice she crows
And smiles as though the face she knows,
The pretty eyes, the dainty nose,
The shell-like ears, the cheek like rose,
The dimpled body. pink and plump,
Combined in one, make sweet lump
OF babyhood, whose little lie
We pray may be all free from strife.

PaDer Carnats.

This has been called a paper age and
quite justly, perhaps, when even cart
wheels are made from paper. but it was
poverty and not science that led to the
following invention: Carpets were need
ed, and there was no money for their pur-
chase, so the pine floors had the cracks
filled with putty, and every inequality
leveled with the plane. Common, stout
Manila paper, that costs but a few cents
a pound, was pasted down smoothly;
then heavy. dark, inexpensive wall
paper, conventional in design, was chosen
and firmly pasted to the brown paper.
When this was dry it received a coat of
sizing and then one of floor varnish.
Rugs were laid here and there, and al
though this was several years ago, the
paper carpet, which receives a yearly
coat of varnish, is still in good order

Cures Others

Will cure You, is true statement of the
action Of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as ''just as good az
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need q blood-purifier
and would be benefited permanently
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed a reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Salsaparilla eradicates the faint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence OF the people.

the relief 1 have obtained from the use
of AYERS Sarsaparilla. L was afflicted
with kidney troubles for about six
months, suffering greatly with pains in
the small of my back. In addition to
this, my body was covered with pimply
erupJions. The remedies prescribed
failed to help me. 1 then began to take
AYERS Sarsaparilla, and, in a short
time, the pains ceased and the pimples
disappeared. 1 advise every young man

flowers on every possible occasion, is set
forth humorously, if with rather free
play of Imagination at certain points, in
the following story which was written by
the lamented Mary Fiske. She says: Il

her sister Joe with the florists bill in
her hand. Now said Joe, in case the
cholera comes here shall break up and

Observation-Disclosures"

Lucinda woke with start and sat ND
in bed, rubbing her eyes. The dim.
gray light of new dawn was lust bepin
ming to illuminate the small square win
dow, showing only the faint outlines of
the furniture in the room. The child,s
mother lay by her side fast asleep: and
Lucinda, rubbing her hands through her
curly wool, tried TO remember why she
had wished to wake so early. Suddenly
the fact that it was Easter morning, and
that she had promised Mrs. Anthony to
bring the Easter flower to her before
breakfast, brought into activity all her
latent faculties, and she sprang from her
bed. Taking her shoes in her hand she
crept softly across the room to where
| few Goals were still smoldering in the
fireplace; the air was chilly and Lucinda
| bent over the Goals to warm herself. Then
she hurried into her clothes and stepped
! into the next room. She crossed to the
window and pulled aside the coarse white
curtain. The dull gray of the dawn was
| paling into day, and the furniture of the
room was fast assuming it's everyday
| form and shape. But where was the
| lily? Not on the window-sili, where she
had left it the night before. She rubbed
her eyes and looked about her. Then she
| got down upon her knees and felt upon
the floor, thinking, perhaps, her mother
had removed it before going to bed. But
| no; it was not there. She was wide
awake now, and caught her breath in
sob, then gave one scream, which
brought her mother frightened to her
side.
"Great day in de mawnin', chile, what

will sing at the Metropolitan Saturday,
April I'D, has broken all records of
American opera, and even made a close
contest for honors with the most popular

ship. Competent musical authorities de-
clare that it will endure so long as opera
comique lasts, along with such standard
pieces as The Bohemian Girl" Gar
men," Fra Diavolo," "Fatinitza," ETC.,
and this position seems to be well taken.
1t has longevity in its every fiber. The
old legend of Robin Hood and his merry
outlaws of Sherwood Forest is in itself of
lasting quality. Mr.. Smith has care
fully preserved the romantic flavor at
taching to these amiable robbers and
their exploits, has given them the bright
est of character-painting and has CO.
herently put together so many of the
lively incidents connected with their dep
relations that the book of the opera
stands self-established classic. The
music, by Dekoven, is even in advance
of the exceedingly clever work of his
collaboration. Never since the writing
OF comic opera was first essayed on this
side of the Atlantic has so much of genu-
inc melody, so much of harmonious and
at the same time catchy orchestration, and
SO much of whimsicality been expressed
