Taras had obviously returned for fear
his absence might alarm me, and his genial
companion, having accompanied him so
far, had turned in to finish the night over
last pipe. With little hesitation drew
near the house. and hearing their voices in
the front room quietly opened the front
door, entered, shut the door as silently
and then slipped unheard up to my room.
Pm glad you didn't sit up for me last
night said Taras when we met in the
morning. "Kavanagh dropped in with
some startling news from the house"-he
held some official post there-''and staid
out a couple of hours later than in
kended."
Kavanagh called in the course of the
afternoon. He asked if Taras was ut home,
but instead of going directly up to the
workshop he came in to see me. After OK
changing the customary civilities in his or
| binary tone of voice he raised his finger
with significant glance, crossed the room
and opened the door softly, but with such
celebrity that had Mere Lucas been caves
dropping he would certainly have discov
cred her. He stood in listening attitude
for a few seconds; then closing the door
noiselessly he returned to his seat with a
shrug and look of vexation in his face.
Nothing has happenedf" he asked as he
seated himself near me.
| ''Nothing-to him."
ITO any one elsei" he asked sharply.
Nothing of any Importance"
Mere Lucas betrayed no signs of irrita-
ton when he went out last night~
shook my head.
''She was just the same as she always is
! just. II there had been any difference,
must have seen it"
''She did not go down stairs in the night,
you think"
after Taras went up / put my door wide
open and kept a light burning all night.
No one could pass my door without my
knowing it !"
your vigilance may have warned her.
On the other hand''- He broke OH, and
nursing his knee sank his chin in his
hand, knitting his brows in thought. Sud

Residing to tho Children.

A child's tastes for reading and the
style of books he or she learns to admire
are governed largely by the parents
Nearly all children enjoy having some
one read to them Now, if before they
can peruso interesting books for them
selves their taste becomes cultivated
through the selections saey hear, there
will be no danger of their wandering
astray into those bypaths of literature
that are not healthful, mind invigor-
ating resorts. Some skeptic probably
observes that we would advise reading
the '.Iliad" to 4-year-old listener. III
deed no! That would be very silly, be-
ing far beyond the comprehension Of the
infant mind, but there is poetry as
worthy and us pure as Homer's that lit
tie folks learn to appreciate and love.
Then in prose, what child will not de-
light in Andersen and Grimm's fairy
tales, and later on Robinson Crusoe,"
"Swiss Family Robinson" Arabian
Nights" "Gulliver's Travels" "Nicho-
las Nickleby" and David CopperheldY
Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, Cooper. Irv-
ing and Hawthorne are all as delight
full to the youths and maidens in their
teens as to the aged bookworm. Read
ing aloud around the evening lamp is q
family delight that has laid the founda-
ton i'll many youthful minds of a knowl-
edge of the best and noblest works IN
English literature. Philadelphia Times.

Offices Oddly Won.

people sometimes obtain work
from Uncle Sam in peculiar ways, -
says the San Francisco Argonaut.
Not SO very long ago q poetess of
fashion in far western state became
an office seeker, adopting novel
method of pursuing her object. She
appealed to United States Senator,
bombarding him with poetry by
mail Once week regularly he re-
ceived from her a long letter in the
shape of poem. Sometimes he got
two a week. The poetry was proba-
bly, the worst that any poetess of
passion ever produced.
AT first he paid no attention to it,
but at length It began to prey upon
his mind. When this sort of thing
had gone OH for four or five months
he became desperate. SO finally he
wrote to her, saying; Your poems
have proved to Inc that you are unfit
for any public office Nevertheless.
if you will cease writing and sending
them to me will get you u job And
he did. 1t is reported that a man
appointed sixth auditor Of the Treas
ury, subject to examination,
was asked to state the
distance of the moon from the
earth. His written answer was sim
ply: mot near enough to affect the
functions of a sixth auditor" He
passed.

Doleful Women.

Do you know the doleful person?
She (for the doleful person is always
a woman) isNalways a good neighbor
in good health, and tries to be neigh
borly in sickness. But she makes
miserable failure at the latter. You
know how she acts.
Don't you remember the last time
the baby was sick? After you had
watched by the little ones bed day
after day and night after night; had
watched the roses fade from the low
ed ones cheeks, and saw the little
form waste away? And don't you
remember that just at the time when
you had about given up hope the
doleful neighbor came in? And
don't you remember how she tried to
cheer you up with q one sided con
versation something like this:
"Why, Mrs. how much worse the
baby looks this morning She looks
just like Sarah Jones' baby did the
night before it died. Gracious! |
never saw child so wasted away as
Sarahs was, except yours. We just
done everything for that child, but
it WANT no use. | never forget how
Sarah took on at the funeral
And then the doleful neighbor
suddenly remembers that she has to
run back home to "set the SPONGE"
and when she goes you hope that she
will never return. You look again
at the suffering babe and feel that
your heart must surely break. But
suddenly there is a knock at the
door and in comes the-well. sun
beam neighbor is as good name as
any. She was over the evening be.
fore and quietly and unobtrusively
helped to do SO many needful things,
and when she left she left word of
of cheer; and when she comes this
time she she says something like
this:
why, how much better the baby
looks this morning."
And don't you remember what
bright CLEAN of hope crossed your
mind?
81 never saw a child improve so
much in so short time before.
ain sure the baby will soon be well.n
And then the sunbeam neighbor
rearranges the bed, adjusts the
blinds, tells you she will call again
III a lcM 1louIS dllet HQlI1CS iIOlHS-
Honest now, didn't she leave a con-
tident feeling behind her?
You feel better and more hopeful.
Baby even seemed to rally under the
words, and when at last the little
one was playing round your knee
again, didn't you think of the words
; of the sunbeam neighbor?
The doleful neighbor has frighten-
ed more mothers to death, buried
more babies and caused more tears
than all the plaques combined. She
should be suppressed.

An Inexousable Folly.

One very important lesson is to be
learned from the destruction of the
Calumet clubhouse, and that is the utter
folly of intrusting valuable relics to the
care of club organizations. Many of the
rare old treasures which had been gath
cred together in the Calumet club had
no right to be there, and their loss is one
which the public can with propriety de-
nounce as an outrage. for there are GER
tain relics in which, no matter whose
money has purchased them, the public
has proprietary right.
Mighty cold comfort is it now to hear
that the Calumet clubhouse was "a YER
liable fretrap," and that it is 'surpris-
ing that it did not burn up long ago."
Can it be possible that, cognizant of this
danger of fire which is now SO naively
confessed, the Calumet club solicited the
loan of curios which can never be re-
placed?
4 much more magnificent clubhouse
can DO erected, but no money can restore
the art and Historical treasures wantonly
sacrificed. We hope to see an utter
abandonment of the silly practice of do
mating and lending valuables of this
character to the gratiication of the pass
ing vanity of social clubs. = Chicago

Winter usemcnt In Boston.

The most intellectual amusement of

with hard 6, not a soft one.) Small
boys and girls engage in it chiefly, and
it is great education for the mind as
we'll as for the body. It trains the per-
ceptive faculties beautifully. You see
an elegant pung coming along, with a
projecting runner behind, which you can
easily stand upon. You have only an
instant in which to look at the driver
and guess whether he is the sort of man
who will let you catch on" You guess
that he is: he has a whip, but he looks
mild and gentle.
You scramble onto the rear of his We
hicle. Swish! slash! whack! Git off o
there! Git off, durn ye!" Swish! whack!
You find out that you have made a ter
rible error of Judgment. A few expert
ences of this sort. with whacks from nice
loo,.ing men and, on the contrary, some
beautiful rides on the pungs of men Of
very dark and forbidding countcnances,
teach you that things are not what they
seem and make you much better judge
Of human nature than you would other
wise be.
