The Girl He Admired.

A society favorite who was describ.
ing young woman by whom he had
been much attracted was laughed at
for his extravagant admiration.
According to your own state
ment," said a listener, "the girl
hasn't a single redeeming feature"
NO" was the earnest reply, but
she is the pink of neatness. Her
gowns are always in perfect trim and
speckless. Her skin is fresh and
glowing and shows that it never has
been tampered with. Her hair is not
dry and dandruffy and all elfiocks.
In short, you can't imagine how
fetching this one virtue df she had
no other) makes an otherwise rather
insignificant person.
"Yes, can" answered his friend.

The excuses which are given by chill

tasteful duty are often exceedingly In
genious and even witty. Johnny was
afraid Of the dark. His mother was try

her accompanying him. Johnny was
ayerse to this. The boy was the owner
Of little bantam hen and 10 chickens,

gument to convince him of his folly in
being afraid Of the dark.
"Why, Johnny, just think Of your
chickens, how bravely they 20 off to bed

Johnny was silent for q moment and
then said:

TO bed in the dark is because the old hen
goes with 'em, and SO l think you ought

NEVER TOO MANY POETS.
A Rough Estimate OF the Number That Fx-
ist Upon the Earth.

A Rough Estimate OF the Number That rx-
ist Upon the Earth.
Question-How many living poets
are there in the world at the wind
ing up Of the nineteenth century
Answer-About 100000. That is
our estimate. In making it we allow
100, 900 for this country, 10000 for
England and Ireland, a half dozen
for Canada, 100 for Africa Excluding
the Barbary states and Egypt. 40,
900 or $4,000 for South America,
where capriccioso poets flourish like
mites in an old cheese, 100. 900 for
the powers of the triple alliance, 75,-
600 for France, as many for Spain,
half as many for Portugal, 20, 900 for
Russia, as many for Turkey, a big
lot for Scandinavian countries, 600
for Iceland, bakers dozen for Aus
tralia, small squad for Mexico and
the rest for Asia, which contains
more than one-haf of the human
race.
We have not time to classify the
poets, but three classes are always
prominent, the muscular, the moral
and the morbid, or, in other words,
the bass d1.ummers, the harpists and
the bone rattlers, to which kinds we
may add those who fife for love,
those who fiddle for fun and those
who run the hurdy gurdy for cold
cash, all Of whom fight for a place
in the poetic orchestra Of this period
of the nineteenth century. We hold
that some of our American poetry is
better than most of the foreign poet
ry, though there could hardly be any
worse than heap of ours.
We cannot tell here why it is that,
in these times, less than tenth part
Of the worlds poetry is made by the
gentle sex, which is far more poet
ical in spirit and life than the other
sex, more Jealous in devotion to the
beautiful and even perhaps more
sentimental It may be because wom-
en- have something better to do than
rhyming, or because they would
rather put their poetry into their
lives than verse.
Poetry that is majestic, gentle, in
spring, splendid, dainty, ardent,
pure, beautiful, heart expanding, So
lacing, enchanting, melodious, spar
king, heroic, ionlike or birdlike we
love. The poets who are able to
make such poetry can never be too
numerous. We wish we had 10 of
them, or 10 times 10, to every one
we have now. But out with dog,

Russians Who Never Take q Bath.


In Russia and in the Balkan states
the baths are, as elsewhere, restrict
ed entirely to the upper classes and
may be regarded as a luxury of the
rich. The peasantry in these coun-
tries. aye, and the middle classes as
well, never take a bath, practically
speaking, and yet they seem to bear
up heroically under the deprivation
and to be perfectly oblivious to en-
vironments that can only be de-
scribed as aromatic in the extreme
Baths would be of but little use to
the Russian peasant since he never
undresses, and he could hardly be
expected to bathe in his clothes. He
is manifestly of the opinion that if
he keeps himself hermetically sealed
no dust can possibly get at him, nor
can one quite understand how it does
happen that the dust does get to him.
It is sufficient for me to say that
there is ample evidence in the per-
ception of our olfactory faculties that
the feat is somehow or other accom-
plished. Cor. New York Tribune.

A Fragment of the Moon.

A remarkably fine specimen of me.
teoric iron, which, according to Pro
fessor Tschermel's views, is simply a
piece Of ore projected through vol
canic agency from the face of the
moon, has been sent from Rocking
ham county, S. c., to the state museum
at Columbia. Its greatest length is
not above 12 inches, and its thick
ness through the thickest part is about
two inches. In general shape it is
fat, though somewhat concaved on
one side and convexed on the other,
as if broken off from the outer sur
face of a rounded and larger mass.
It is entirely coated with a thick
crust of dark brown rust and weighs
259 pounds. ST. Louis Republic.

Clearing Land of Small Stones.

In clearing land always haul the
small stones and dump them on one
or more large piles, They can then
be got at when wanted, and few
large piles ARE much better than a
number of small ones dumped here
and there, which assuredly will be
in the way in after years. When
large gullies have to be filled or
drains are needed, these small stones
will be found very handy to get at,
even when the ground Is hard frozen,
for only the bottom layers win
freeze, and with a steel shovel and
pick they may be loosened and
