savage anger. Nothing daunted, the
young man returned his stare with

ress the leaves that took its fancy.
He was thinking of his last visit here.
I'VE came here, and l begged that
might put her in my picture. She con-
sented, and soon it was done. But she
was the picture. This beauty was =
mere background. She had taken pos
session of the canvas. and all else was
secondary to her there.
''And SO it was in my life! She was
all She had come. Naught else was Of
consequence.
I'VE never met again. Three long
years ago. All, wonder did she care d

4 Game Hunters Last Effort.

N. de Cherville had dog which had
become wholly deaf and almost blind
with old age, as we'll as most helplessly
lame with rheumatism. The dog slep;
almost all the time, but he retained a
keen passion for the chase, and it was
impossible for his master to get away
from the house with gun on his shoul-
der without the old dog unless the ami
NAL WAS locked up.
On one occasion when NJ. de Chervillc
thought he had eluded the old dog he
found when i'll the field that the faithful
creature was limping after him, whining
with the pain of moving his old limbs,
but keenly on the alert, as well as his
eyesight would permit, for game.
Presently the master saw the dog
pointing at a partridge. De Cherville
could not resist the temptation to kill
one more bird for the veteran. He fired.
the partridge dropped, and the dog, with
the one-quarter of an eye which remained
to him, hunted ii out and brought it t,
his master.
Bringing the bird at limping. lum-
bering Sallop. the dog did what he had
never done before in the field: he got upon
his hind legs planted his forepaws on De
Chervilles shoulders and dropped the
bird on his breast. Then the dog fell to
the ground, rolled over two or three
times and was dead. His last supreme
effort in his masters behalf had killed
him.-Y outh's Companion.

two, a desert without salt" This is
rather an exaggeration, but the general

There is sort of summer school of
temperance reformers at Point of Pines
in Massachusetts. and the wittiest and
hveliest man ii 1t is General Neal Dow.
General Dow is II his nipetieth year ac-
cording TO the books, bat he has the pug
nacity and the gayety of 10. The rum
sellers are not so many as we are" he
said in his speech Tuesday, ''but they
pull together, while we go like a team of
kamchatka dogs" He attacked the vot-
ers OF Massachusetts, and the church
members. THE liquor traffic" he said,
''exists by the permission of the mem
bership of the churches" Altogether
he seems to have been i'll the very best
of form.
We wish 10 compliment General Dow
upon his condition, not to find fault with
theories which he has honestly bred and
advocated vigorously for SO many years.
Here is a man who has always enjoyed
himself and enjoys himself at go AL
though of Quaker blood, he has always
been a fighter, and his service in the war
was only an incident in n life of soldier
ing. Extreme III opinion. strong ot
speech, he has been in motion ana activity
constantly and has taken labor like an
exercise. Some persons live an inert and
cabbagelike existence to extreme old age.
The oil lasts long because the wick uses
so little. General Dow has always been
in the thick of things, and it agrees with
him.--New York Sun.

Emblems of the Apostles.

Tbs medieval artists, having no idea
OF tl,e personal appearance of the Sa-
viours followers, adopted set of signs,
or emblems, for each, which soon be-
came familiar to all. The emblem of
Peter was either large key or two keys
crossed, which is readily explained by
referring to the words of Christ (Matthew
xvi, l9), And | will give unto thee the
keys of the kingdom of heaven" The
emblem of Paul was sword and book
the latter to remind the beholder that
he was teacher of men; the former tc
indicate that he was beheaded with a
sword. st. Andrew was usually figured
standing by cross shaped like a letter
y, that being the form of the cross upon
which legend says he was crucified. The
emblem of st. James the Great was
either a sword-referring to the fact that
he was also beheaded-or a pilgrims
staff, he being Il great traveller.
St. Johns emblem was a caldron, re-
ferring to his experience in the boiling
oil. St. Philips emblem is an enigma
1t was a spear and Il cross, yet it Is
known that he was hanged. ST. Bar
tholomew. who was ''fayed alive" is
represented with knife and his skin
hanging over his arm. Matthew's en-
blem is a square, supposed to have some
reference TO Christ's calling. St. Thomas,
having been pierced with dart" is
pictured carrying a spear. The emblem
of James the Less was club. he hav-
ing been "beaten to death with a fag-
got" 81. Matthias an AK, he having
been beheaded. Simon's emblem was a
saw. eThe legend says ''he was sawn

Songs Sung to Children Nowadays.

The egeneracy of the present age" said
Mr.. Greathead softly, sis to my mind nc
better eXenlplitied that in the songs sung
to the children. Now. when ] was % young
ster such melodies as 'G~reenville,' Come
Where the Lilies Bloom We Will Gather
by the River and 'Hush-a-by, Baby, In the
Tree Top were considered to be the proper
Iullabies. You can imagine my surprise,
my dear sir, when, in course of a little out.
ing, l heard some of the songs which are
used nowadays to surerinduce a feeling of
sleepfulness in the young. l was walking
in one of the parks when / heard a young
mother grooming to her infant child. The
strains seemed strangely at variance with
the low, sweet and dreamlike notes of the
conventional lullaby, and l drew nearer.
Sir, you have never had occasion before to
question my veracity, and I trust in this
ease that l shall not overtax your powers
OF belief.
"As am standing here, sir, that youun
woman, with the brow of a Madonna and a
complexion that would have held the ad-
mlratlon OF a Titan, was singing to that
child a topical song from a trifling bur.
lesque which had been running for the last
two years. 1t was q maudlin song of the
Bowery.
"Then the young woman sang of q dimin.
utlve person named William who had been
so deeply STEPPED in vice that he was in it
every minute. To cap the climax the last
strains which greeted my ears as ! hurried
from the scene were the notes of a weird
song made popular in this country by an
English concert hall singer. 1t is no won
der, sir, that the younger generation are so
prematurely old when at an early period
their brain fibers are infiltrated by the vi.
clous tendencies of a degenerate age.n-
