The Everlasting "Why."

There is an ocean Of the unfathomable
In every raindrop, and God says today as
he said in the time of Job, ''If you can
not understand one drop of rain, do not
be surprised if my dealings with you are
inexplicable. Why does that aged man,
decrepit. beggared, vicious, sick Of the
world and the world sick Of him, live
on, while here is man in midlife, con-
secrated to God, hardworking, useful in
every respect, who dies? Why does that
old gossip, gadding along the street
about everybody's business but her own,
have such good health, while the Chris
tian mother with flock of little ones
about her whom she is preparing for use
fulness and for heaven-the mother who
you think could not be spared an hour
from that bousehold-why does she lie
down and die with a cancer? Why does
that man, selfish to the core, go on
adding fortune to fortune, consuming
everything on himself, continue to pros
per, while that man who has been giving
10 per cent of all his income to God and
the church goes into bankruptcy? Be
fore we make stark fools of ourselves let
us stop pressing this everlasting "why."

commencement Days.

Commencement days are with us once
again. Along the streets go closed car
riages, through the drawn curtains OF
which one catches glimpses of smiling
young faces, dainty diaphanous gowns
and veritable forest of blooming flow
ers. In all the colleges and seminaries
parents and friends are gathering to wit
ness the graduation exercises of those in
whom they are interested, and to the fair
participant the day is one that marks a
new era in their lives.
AS we look upon such sights, how WV
idly our own commencement day comes
back and with it all the hope and prom
Use of the future that was budding in
our breast that day! School days over,
our greatest troubles left behind be-
tween the closed covers of "VirgiP and
"Sallust," we looked forward to days OF
no more study as to dream OF bliss
about to be realized.
Dear graduates, you will find, as we
have done, that there are lessons to be
learned after the college doors have
banged to behind your retreating forms,
and the great halls cease to echo to your
wonted footstens. 17ioy will be hard or
easy, as you yoz-.--se-ves mako them. 1t

Spohr and the Kings.

All are not kingly who wear a crown.
At court concert the Duchess of Gotha
expressed in the curtest style her disap-
proval of the loud playing of Spohr, the
great violinist and composer. While he
was playing she sent a chamberlain to
request him not to make so much noise.
The king of Wurtemberg was in the
habit of amusing himself at court con-
cert by playing cards. Spohr, being in
vited to play before the king, informed
the chamberlain that he must decline
the honor unless the king abstained from
card playing. The chamberlain was hor-
rified, but the violinist insisted, and the
king conceded the point But in order
that the royal time might not be wholly
occupied in listening, he stipulated that
the two pieces set down in the pro-
gramme for Spohr should follow each
other.
Nevertheless his majesty showed that
the violinist's demand had ruffied the
royal temper. Etiquette prescribed that
the king should give the signal for ap-
plauding. At the conclusion Of each
piece the king gave no signal and SOL
emn silence reigned in the salon, The
king had his small revenge.
The king Of Bavaria was gentleman.
At court concert he noticed that the
usher had neglected to place seat for
Nine. Spohr, an excellent harpist, who
was to accompany her husband. The
king placed his throne chair on the plat
form and with the mild insistence of a
gentleman compelled the lady to sit in it.

pep.edations I'D a Coon.

That coon Of Rueger's, which has
been sauntering around the lamppost
on the corner of Ninth and Banks streets
from ti.>e to time during the past three
months, made things lively Sunday after
noon at Mr.. B. A. Fox's bird store on
Broad street.
Mr.. Rueger got tired of the quadruped
and wished to dispose of him. The coon
was accordingly turned over to Mr.. Fox,
who was to sell him. He was kept at
the bird store Sunday afternoon, when
everybody was away, there began gen.
eral havoc on the part Of the animal.
Climbing over partition in show win
dow, he proceededto chew up five Abys-
sinian rabbits. Only one of the pets was
left to tell the tale. His coonship then
dined upon handsome Brahma cock in
the rear of the establishment and after
ward proceeded to deprive a beautiful
tropical song bird of his plumage.
He next made an attack on q number
Of goldfish. and when his appetite was
satisfied there wasn't single representa-
tive of the piscatorial tribe left in the
aquarium. Several other depredations
were committed, and his coonship was
making preparations to exterminate ev-
cry valuable bird in the establishment
when two festive coppers crawled over
the transom and put an end to his calcula-
tions. He was carried back to Rueger's,
but soon effected his escape and made it
lively for the squirrels in the Capitol
square. A small regiment of small boys
were in pursuit of the animal, which
with an all important air mounted the
Washington monument and soon sat
complacently on the topof Georges head,
eying his pursuers with an expression of
mingled defiance and curiosity. He was
finally captured Times.

A Brides Jewels.

"The jewels of the youthful Countess
Craven" says an English newspaper,
twill probably excite some envy among
our society ladies. It is not often that a
bride of 1S can boast the possession of
three such superb pieces of jewelry as the
magnificent tiara Of diamonds, dupli-
cate Of the Empress Josephine's, given
to her daughter by Mrs. Bradley Martin;
the exquisite and very valuable necklace
of three rows of perfectly matched pearls,
which was the present of her grandmoth-
er, Mrs. Sherman, the widow of the
founder of the family fortune, and the
beautiful old diamond collarette, taken
from her own wedding presents OF 80
years ago by the dowager Countess Graz
ven as a wedding gift to her sons bride.

session Of an amber cigarette tube set
about with diamonds"
