A Striking Presentiment.

It is curious how future events are &C.
c~asionally prefgured by some antelope
tory token which, unlike presentiments
and premonitory dreams, makes perhaps
no impression at the time On those whom
they concern.
Here is a striking example. One of
Charles Dickens sons, from some childish
oddly of expression in his large, won
dering eyes, was given by his father the
very unique sobriquet of the ocean
Specter," by which he was always called.
The great novelist never knew of the
weird significance his p~layfully bestowed
a%ppellation was to bear, for he himself
had been nearly two years in his grave
at the time his little ocean Specter,"
then lieutenant in the royal navy, died
and was buried at sea.-London Tit-Bits.

Victoria Snubbed the Duke,

The late Duke Ernest Of Saxe-C oburg
and Gotha was on cold terms with his
relatives in England long before the
death of the prince consort. The duke
was offended because his brothers con
fdential correspondents were the late
king of the Belgians and the late Emper,
or William instead of himself.
He was indefatigable in addressing
prolix dissertations upon political affairs
to Prince Albert, who had no disposition
to receive instruction either from his
elder brother or from any one else. The
duke expected to be regarded as the head
of the family and wished to play that
part de facto, but his attempts at inter
ference were d~exterously bafled by
Prince Albert, who at an earlier period
had succeeded, but not without difficulty,
in putting a stop to the meddling of
King Leopold, who had intended to act
as his nephew's P~rospero.
When Prince Albert died, the duke
fully expected that the queen would
constitute him her principal adviser,
and that he would be able to play an i'm
portant part in our court, but her maj
esty did not consult him about any
thing, and when he volunteered his views
she paid no attention to his letters

How to Learn Music.

Do not fail to take advantage Of the
library. Begin a course of good read
Ms. Music is notorious for narrowing
oDo's mind, SO resolve to counterbalance
your practice with library work as well.
AS to your practice, I would give you
this maxim, 1.-THE essential thing il
practice is to see exactly what is to be
done in all its details, and then do it
again and again with the greatest clear
ness, precision and energy"
you take up a new piece, notice
the key, the harmonies, chords, scales,
lingering and general effects. One Of
IL" 5~st necessaries is Concentration"
Develop self criticism. "The thing you
cannot do is the very thing you should
make yourself do"
In practice begin where you left off
the day before. Connect your days
work. Apply all your knowledge. Do
not try to do more than one thing at a
time. Spend a good deal Of time every
day thinking about what you are doing
and what you willdo.-Edward d. Hale.

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 entire
ly different species, and as a matter of
fact the shells of the SO called pearl oys-
tiers are of far more value to those en-
gagged 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 $4,000, and every year
since that time many pearls have been
taken from the beds in the California
gulf valued at over $500 each.-Chica-
go Herald.

Small Fortune Between the Cracks.

Ah nv koS
A cigar dealer was recently compelled
to move from his down town stand,
which he had occupied for So years, be-
cause Of the demolition of the old build
ing.
He packed his belongings with many
a sigh of regret. When he had got his
things all out, he turned to the work
men, who were waiting to begin tearing
down the building, and remarked in a
rather sarcastic tone:
well, boys, you may have all you
find in this old trap"
The workmen began on the old floor,
which had been worn into hollows by
age. It had not been replaced since it
was originally laid.
One of the men ripped up a board with
his crowbar, raising a cloud Of dust.
When he GIT it out Of his eyes, he saw
something shiny in the crack.
He picked it up, and it proved to be a
dime. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the crack was lined with
silver.
This was an incentive to the workmen.
They piled their crowbars with remark
able energy for men poorly paid. In this
instance they were amply rewarded.
In every crack of the floor silver dimes
were found. Some of them bore dates
of nearly half a century ago. The men
gathered the coin in handfuls.
The cigar dealer, in speaking of the oc-
c%urrence, said that he hadn't the slight
est idea that so much money could be
lost through carelessness and a poor
floor even in IS years.
But it won't happen again." he said.
when I heard Of it, I Immediately gave
orders to have my new store refoored
with hard wood, and no cracks, at my
own expense."-New York Herald.

GRANDMOTHER SAID.

always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle Of the room or
standing carelessly."
This Is what grandmother said. as often, when
a boy,
l jumped up and ran out of doors a reckless
hobble-de-hoy.
always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle of the room or
standing carelessly."
These words, repeated long ago., come ever
fresh to mind.
When little duties are o'erlooked or left to lag
behind
In the daily walks Of busy life. when We think
we haven't time
To be orderly and almost look upon politeness
as a crime,
We are quite too apt, from carelessness, to
think, il not to say,
That it matters not if we forget to set our
chairs away.
But it will be found that daily life will be
more worth the living
If we blend, in harmony, the precepts Of re-
ceiving and of giving;
II we heed the tender chidings dealt out in
childhood's day,
And always ''set our chair back when we are
going away"

ADAMS NAlVETE.
A Woman Defends the First Man From
Charges Of C~oHardice.

A Woman Defends the First Man From
Charges Of Cowardice.
And the Lord said, Hast thou eaten
of the tree whereof l commanded thee
thou shouldst not eat?' The man said.
"The woman whom thou gavest to h.,
with me-she gave me of the tree and I
did eat" This, it has been held for cen
turies, wa Adams great sin, for which
he was driven out Of the garden and
his descendants, ever to the present GER
GRAFTON, compelled to work for d living.
In addition to bearing the consequences
of his error Adam has been denounced
through all succeeding centuries for his
cowardice and lack of gallantry in try
ing to throw the blame uponthe oma
who had been given to be with him
Goods first. best gift to man."
We are glad. therefore, that even after
5000 years of unmerited condemnation
which the memory of our great pro-
genitor has had to bear there has arisen
n person who dares to speak for him.
And it is all the more fortunate that
the sex whom Adams words, by q
wrong Interpretation, were held to have
maligned. This person is Mrs. Caroline
F. Corbin, a distinguished authoress. In
her latest book she says of Adams plea:
":This is not the expression of cow
ardice, but of the innoc@t and native
belief that anything which this lovely
being, fresh from Gods hand, proposed
must be right, and right Or wrong
must be done. 1t is a trait which has
come down in unbroken continuity of
inheritance to the latest born of Adams
sons"
The thought is a new one, but there is
not a man alive and capable of appreci-
ating Mrs. Corbin's argument who will
not indorse it. Where is there a man to-
day, barring a few crusty old bachelors,
who wouldnot have done the same thing
under like circumstances? The woman
was beautiful, the apple was good, and

A Wonderful TimekeepinS Automator

A Wonderful TimekeepinS Automaton.
One of the most wonderful timekeep-
ers known to the horologist was made
in London about 100 years ago and sent
by the president of the East India com
pany as a gift to the emperor Of China.
The case was made in the form Of a
chariot, in which was seated the figure
of a This figure was of pure
ivory and gold and sat with her right
hand resting upon a tiny clock fastened
to the side of the vehicle. A part of the
wheels which kept track of the flight of
time were hidden in the body of a tiny
bird, which had seemingly just alighted
upon the lady's finger.
Above was a canopy so arranged as to
conceal a silver bell. This bell was fit
ted with a miniature hammer of the
same metal, and although it appeared to
have no connection with the clock regu-
larly struck the hours and could be
made to repeat by touching a diamond
button on the lady's bodice. In the char
lot at the ivory lady's feet there was a
golden figure Of a dog, and above and in
front were two birds apparently flying
before the chariot. This beautiful orna-
ment was made almost entirely Of gold
and was deliberately decorated with pre-
cious stones.-St. Louis Republic.

A GOLDEN HOUR.
field of golden flowers she stood

Amid = field of golden flowers she stood
Blithe outtercups that met the wooing breeze
With mods and becks and W wing courtesies.
Where the broad river flowed beside the wood.
The sun made golden laughter with the food.
And airy whispers rustled from the trees,
Where bees and birds and squirrels dwelt al
ease;
Love and the year were young and life was
good.
With daisies in the shining fields were rife
White petaled daisies with rich hearts were
they,
And in each simple flower ! could behold
An image of the empress Of my life,
Whose beauty lent new brightness to the
day
A snow white maiden with a heart Of gold.
