1t appears that the Georgian, believing
in the proverb of the early bird, visited
the hotel at a very immature hour of the
morning to interview the Junior senator
from his state. He had a dim idea of the
situation of the senator's apartments, but
nevertheless went ahead ON his quest.
He knocked at each door az he CROPPED
along the corridors, inquiring for Sena-
tor Gordon and arousing the inmates
from their slumbers, thrilling some of
them with apprehension that the place
was on fire. There might have been a
scene of wild excitement but for the APP
pearance of a Waterman, who took the
early bird in charge rs a suspicious char
acter.
The Georgian protested vigorously,
but vainly. On his way he caught sight
of a friend from his state and appealed
to him to identify him and rescue him
from the p~oliceman's grasp. The friend,

Stocking Ponds with Fish.

Most people are seemingly anxious t.
secure good fishing to themselves, whiei
is very natural, and will expend large
sum in order to stock waters for priv;4t {
use. Naturally they select waters wllie :
are SO situated that they can superyise
them, and therefore these waters are
generally confined or restricted. It i
reasonable to consider waters which az
SO situated that the movements of TIT
trout are hindered, to be in no sense sll-
perior to artificial ponds, and viii in time
surely run out.
Ny idea is that general waters should
always be selected for continuous stock
ing. First find a good stream and test
its qualities, and afterward it should lie
seasonabiy replenished. A great deal OF
money is annually squandered in start
ing artificial ponds and confined streams
which, if properly used, would have
given excellent returns. If you have
money to spend on fish culture do not
waste it, but invest in a proper stociZ
ing of good public stream, and keeE
it up. You will il time find that
you are not obliged to pay out large
sums in railroad fare, and consequent
board at hotels in distant parts, if you
are judicious and persistent in stocking
home streams, Angler.

The Pleasures of Ar1stocracy.

There is a painful seriousness about
the pleasures of the American aristocrat
that makes her (for it is generally the
woman who rules in these matters) a
most inteTesting-nay entertaining
subject for the social philosopher. Sac
must seek her comrades, for example, not
SO much among those whom she likes as
among those whom she must ike, and
she must devote herself to amusement
with all the ardor of her soul and all the
vigor Of her body.
In the countries where an aristocrat is
born, not made, the members of the Sc
lect body have certain public and useful
functions, and the world is interested in
their play because that is part of the
public ceremonies. but in this happy re-
public, where all are equal, the people
whose social affairs are chronicled in the
press are thus talked about simply be
cause they play and insist upon believ-
ing that the public is quite as much in
terested in their balls as in the graver
affairs of state. and that it is much more
of an honor to wear the tab of one of
their coteries than to win a seat in the
national legislature.
They take themselves very seriously.
and they are partly right. at all events
they do the rest of the world very little
harm, and occasionally, no doubt, have
good time.-Harper's Weekly.

Women Renew Their Youtb.

1t is an extraordinary but incontesta-
BILE fact that some women at the age
when most people die undergo a sort OF
natural process of regeneration - the
hair and teeth grow again, the wrinkles
disappear from the skin, and sight anG
hearing reacquire their former sharp
ness. A Marquise de Marabeau is al
example of this rare and remarkable
phenomenon. She died at the age o.
eighty-six, but q few years before hel
death she became in appearance quite
young again. The same change hap
pened to nun of the name of Mar
guerite Verdur, who at the age of sixty
two lost her wrinkles, regained her sigh
and grew several new teeth. When she
died, ten years later, her appearance wa:
almost that of a young girl.-St. Loui:

A Disgrace to the worlds Fair.

G4O1A OAS \ FdtJ sAuN dLCC-I
The Columbian Exposition as
sumes to be gotten up, not only in
the interest of the United States, but
of the whole world 1t is intended
to bring together people from every
nation under the sun, for the mutual
benefit of all nations and tribes
1t is, therefore, with both pain and
surprise that we learn from the New
York World, oflast Sunday, that the
managers of the Fair have given
their sanction to a scheme which will
rouse the Indignation of every South
erd white man.
1t is pro- osed to lend The use of
the great music hall for the exhibit
ton of a negro opera, a dramatiza-
ton of ''Uncle Toms Cabin" and
the show is to close with the burning
of "Uncle Tom" at the stake, which
is to reproduce the scenes lately
enacted at Paris, Texas.
The whole scheme is one to insult
and outrage the people of one third
of the Union. How the managers
could ever bring themselves to sane
ton SO offensive an exhibition is in
deed a mystery.
The managers of the Fair desire
the co operation of the people OF
every State to make the affair a
grand success. Many of the States
have made appropriations to defray
the expenses of a creditable exhibit
oftheir resources. The United States
Government has appropriated $2,,
100000 ofthe peoples money to aid
the Fair. The people of the South
pay their due proportion of that
money, and yet the South is to be
held up to thousands of visitors
from all the world as an object OF
scorn and detestation.

A Profitable Lent.
From the Moraviao.l

run Lie nAOIoNtdssJ
Rightly employed, the annual re-
currence of the season of Lent may
be used for the promotion ofspiritual
life and the Developments of character.
Forgetfulness OF the lower selfshould
furnish the keynote of the season.
The endeavor to please Christ and to
honor Hin by presenting to Him the
sacrifice of our wi,l-that is what
must be striven for The sacrifice of
mere outward things, personal COM
forts and enjoyments, the manufact-
uring of crosses to order as it were,
merely mechanical Standardization
and all involved in it, are of little
advantage, and sometimes worse
than useless. But if the season is
employed in devout worship and
meditation in order to search out
what conservation to Christ really
means as applied to our lives in their
present coalitions and surroundings,
and the degree of knowledge arrived
at is carried into practice, one may
with reason expect more forceful
pulsings of the Holy Spirit to mani
fest themselves in an added incre-
ment of inner peaceful assurance and
in happy and enlarged usefulness.

The Facts About Free TuiaiOn-OniS
nine Students Receiving TRttioa Free.
An impression seems to exist in
some quarters that large amount
of free tuition is given at the Univer-
sity, and that the UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges are greatly damaged there
by. The facts are as follows:
Until 1887 each county in the State
could send one student free of charge
for tuition; but the Legislature OF
1887 repealed that law, and gave
the University power to confer free
tuition only on the following classes
of young men:
L. The sons of ministers.
2 Candidates for the ministry.
3. Cripples and deformed boys.
A. Young men intending to teach

allowed to wait until they graduate.
These last give their notes with
security, whenever security can be
obtained The number of such notes
given during the present term and
properly secured is fifteen. The num-
Der of notes taken without security
is seven. The young men giving
these unsecured notes are those who
have no property, whose parents
have no property, who are mourning
debts in order to pay for board and
books, and who prefer to give their
notes and repay the University as
soon as they are able, rather than to
receive scholarship. Those who
suspect the motives of such men do
so in entire ignorance of their char
acter and their poverty.

A MOOD.

All the world is wrapped in shadow;
All my thought is stepped in gray;
Sweet and wanton sadness holds me
And enfolds me,
AS the arms of night the day.
Sweet as pulsing of spent music
When the hands have ceased to play.
Ger the sense a longing stealeth,
For what cause it may not know;
AS when evening groweth tender,
And the splendor
OF the sunset burneth low,
Ger the land the white mist silent
Stealeth through the afterglow.
Sad as slanting sunlight falling
On the sails of outbound ships;
Dear as memory that hovers
OF a lovers
Kiss on a woman's lips;
Soft as when thin cloud mantle
Folds the noon in white eclipse.
So the sense is STEPPED in longing,
AS the world is wrapped in gray:
TITS SO much akin to sorrow
AS the morrow
Holdeth thought of yesterday.
'Tis, perchance, the soul immortal
Sad because the heart is clay.
