With the down of the crow's-foot, with tow,
and with straw,

Ihls little brown wren has the brightest OF

Her tail is as {. ig as the sail OF a ship;
She's demure though she walks with hop and

And her voice-But flute were more fit tLan

And cast at The wrens hOus4 an enyious eve;

says Phny, sthat Archimedes, while
| intent OF some figures which he had
| described in the dust, although the
confusion was as great as could posi-
bly, exist in captured city, was put to
| death by a soldier who did not know
who he was; that MarcelIus was grieved
at the event, and that pains were taken
! about his funeral, while his relations
| also, for whom diIigent inquiry was
made, derived honor and protection
from his name and memory" So per-
ished the greet day-dreaming mathe-
matical Briareus. He was spared the
lgnominy of Roman triumph, and
one likes to think that OF his death he
was only made conscious by his awsk-
ening in the light of pure knowledge
beyond. Well might his cry on that
awakening be the exclamation which
has been remembered through twenty
centuries, Eureka, eurekal"
Nearly century and a half later,
during his questorship of Sicily, Cicero
sought for the tomb of Archimedes
outside the Achradina gate, and no.
tIced among the briars a small column
with the figure of sphere and cylin-
der upon it. The ground was cleared
at once, and "when we could get at it
found the inscription, though the last
words in all the verses were almost
etfaced. Thus one of the noblest cities
of Greece, and one which at one time
had been very celebrated for learning,
would have known nothing of the
monument of its greatest genius if it
had not been discovere for them by a
native of Arpinum."
Modern science has accorded him
more lasting and a more conspicuous
monument. Almost in the centre of
the northern hemisphere of the full |

POPPIES.
"sleep, quiet, with his poppy coronet"

"Sleep, quiet, with his poppy coronet"
KEATS
The poppy has always been consid.
cred an emblem of sleep amongst al
| nations. The ancient Greeks were
| we'll acquainted " th the somniferous
! qualities of the Juice and Dioscerides
| mentions Il variety with white seeds.
| The Romans cultivated the poppy be
fore the republic, and mixed its seeds
with their flour in making bread. The
anecdote of Tarquin and the poppy
| heads is historical. The people of
| Egypt used the juice of the plant as a
medicine in PlIny's time, and it is still
one of the principal objects OF cultIva-
| tion for the manufacture of opium.
1t was employed by the Swiss lake
dwellers and, even now, one variety
grows wild upon the shores Of the
Mediterranean.
The name "Opium" gwen to the
drug, Is derived from the Greeks, who
called it OPiOs. The Arabs converted
this into dfun, aud from then it
spread eastward and into China. The
Chinese author OF the Peqt-SaO- Kaag-
mOu, who W ote about 1860, speaks of
"the a GfOU-yOng (tnat is 4 fOul Cpium)
a foreign drug produced by q species
of yilg sou with red flowers in the
country of Tien-Fang, (Arabia), and
recently used as medicament in
China" In England, the common
corn-poppy is troublesome weed in
the fields of grain, which Keats weaves
into humorous satire in the follow
ing lines:
"A field of dropping oats.
Through which the poppies show their scarlet
coats,
So pert and useless. that they bring TO mind
The scaret-coars that poster humankind"
There are many varieties of our cul-
tlvated poppies; among these there
are none more gorgeous than the per
ennial PapdUer OriCntalc, with it,
deep-red, blsck-hearted blossoms a,
largo as saucer. The fsiry-liks
shirley peoples are great favorites, and
the new Tulip poppy, Paparer gta"-

lar. A marked peculinrity OF this
flower Is the method by which the two

ELEVATED RAILROAD ETH
QUETrE.

The fact of the matter Is that there
i prevails peculiar etiquette on the
elevated railways an etiquette that
! reverses all that Is customary in polite
life everywhere else in the world, saws
Har71er's Bdsar, except perhaps In
Africa, where Hottentot lover wooes
his mistress, by reducing her to insen-
sibiIity by blow on the head with a
club. A New York man leaves his
well-appoia;ed home, gently bidding
his family goodbye; on the street as
he walks to the elevated station he is
the pink of courtesy and salutes his
acquaintances with graceful punctil-
iousness-his whole bearing is that OF
a kindly and considerate gentleman.
Aud this manner he preserves until
the train he means to board approaches
the station. Then ell is changed, and
the man of dignifled port and courteous
bearing, elbows his way to the gate OF
the train very much as the stock
brokers do on the floor of the Ex-
change when prices are fuctuating
with alarming quickness. In the train,
II there be one vacant seat, this man,
who at home would offer a chair with
the air of Chesterfield and refuse to
sit while any lady IN the room remained
standing, rushes ahead for that seat
with as little regard for consequences
or appearances as a bull IN a china
shop. In his eyes and in his mind, to
get the seat, is the one thing of the
moment. Ii he miss getting a seat he
scOwls the elevated railway scowP'
on the more fortunate man, who scowls
In response. Then till he reaches bis
destination he shOves and pushes and
scOwls and scowls. But he really
means nothing by 1t, for before he has
taken ten steps in the street his face
resumes its placid expression, and he
Is his amiable self once more. And
the women are not much different from
what has Just been described, except
that they do not scowl; they only stare
stare with a panied look of disap.
provaL The primary cause of the
adoption by polite people of this
strange and contrary etiquette, is the
over-crowded condition of the railway
trains, which both IN the morning and
the evening of every day, are packed
with four times as many people as they
can hold in comfort aud safety. When |
there shall be happy solution of the
rapid-transit problem in New York, this |
etiquette Will no longer prevail, and in |
that tOo-far-o off time, we may e,pect |
that even on the e evated railways, the |
courtesy of New York |
irawing-rooms will be resumed, and |
New York men and women will display
1t all times that polite consideration.
which now never forsakes them except |
when in or about to enter car of the
Railway.
