Pedestrians on Chestnut street, Phil

very pretty young woman who Is
attended by a fat, ugly pug dog.
The young lady would attract more

Is of some use besides being an orna-

Drawn from oceans cool depths by the
alluring music of the waves, glorious
nymph lightly rises on foam capped bill
low, pauses on its crest with an alluring
toss and smile, softly gldes into the shadow
from whence anon she springs, foam
crowned and sparkling, to sport with the
breeze, while her coral bells ring chimes to
Neptune's pulsating heart.
Rising on the crest of a wave, suddenly
enamored ocean clasps her to his bosom,
from whom she springs, wrathful and
frowning, only to be caught and flung, al!
smiling and radiant, to the caressing sun
light, but all mermaid and water sprite,
she firts with the spray and wells herself
with its liquid sheen, and leaping to meet
the flying zephyr's kisses shakes showers
of sparkling diamonds from her floating
tresses.
With a threatening toss at the too IA
miliar sunbeams she pauses for an instant
on the topping height of billow, then,
tossing kiss to admiring nature, again
plunges into the green shadows, while the
music of the waves softly woos her back.
Clothed in q mantle of foam she allows
herself to be charmed to return, and then
scolding the familiar waves and softly ca
ressing the sunbeams she floats and bounds
in the music's wild undulation, until with
joyous bound and farewell kiss to the
breeze, followed by Offering stream OF
light, she sinks into Neptune's enchanted
caves and leaves all nature sad and sigh

A Chinese Laundry Mystery.

"Curious thing about Chinese laundries
the Chinese laundry. whether the work
ing force is one or many, refuses no work,
and it is always finished at the time speci-
fed
This remark was made by a we'll known
clubman during a conversation with some
friends few weeks ago, when the CONVEX
sation had drifted to shirts There were
some fifteen gentlemen present, and some
one of the party suggested that it would
be good fun for the crowd to look up all
their laundry that week, personally de-
scend one at time on some Celestlal
and engulf him with custom unexpected.
A solitary Chinese laundryman was hard
10 find. But after some search there was
found in basement one who sprinkled
clothes through his teeth. All that day
long line of customers dropped down and
in. each loaded down with his washing for
the week.
1t could be seen that the exile from the
Flowery Kingdom had already a very large
business connection in the neighborhood.
But he said no word at the influx of new
custom, but took the packages one by one,
tore his paper checks in two, handed a
half to the customer and blandly re-
marked, "Slateday," and resumed his
ironing. He seemed unconscious of the
fact that the place was crowded SO that
moving around was difficult with the
accumulation of new work.
And promptly Saturday afternoon 1t
was all DONE A watch had been set upon
the place, and though the gaslight cleaned
day and night until the weeks end, no
other hand save his own had rubbed a
wristband or polished collar And the
clubman said, 81 told you So" and took
the dinner that friend was foolish enough
to bet the other way.-St. Louis Post-Dis-

Watt and the Steambo

James Watt, who did so much to make
the steam engine of practical use, did not,
so far as can be learned, take any deep in
terest in the subject of steam navigation.
Yet incidentally he did good deal to adj
vance it. In his old age he paid visit to
his native town of Greenock.
On Aug. 10, 1912, small steamboat had
begun making regular trips between that
place and Glasgow, and gradually the
service was extended to other points, sew
eral boats being put into commission. The
old engineer went OH one of the new YES
sells to Rothesay and back, the trip then
occupying the whole day. Mr.. William
son, in his Memories Of James Watt, :"
tells this story of the voyage:
"Mr. Watt entered into conversation
with the engineer of the boat, pointing out
to him the method of backing the engine.
with foot rule he demonstrated to him
what he meant. Not succeeding, however,
he at last, under the influence of the ruling
passion, threw off his overcoat, and put
ting his hand to the engine himself, showed
the practical application of his lecture.
Previous to this the back stroke of the
steamboat engine was either unknown or
not generally acted on. The practice was
to stop the engine entirely a considerable
time before the vessel reached the point of
mooring, in order to allow the gradual and
natural diminution of her speed. Chi

A knights Way of MARRYING,

OF all the matrimonial trafficking-in
the age Of chivalry-the ways of widows
are at once the boldest and most compre-
hensive. AS rule, their methods seldom
resort to Establishment; it is remarkable
when tenderness is an item in their bar
gain. Speed was their maxim; it was one
King John honored, for he profited by it.
Yet one of the rarest exceptions in the
way of delicacy to these commercial nego-
tiations has evidently been prompted by a
widow who had quite an exceptional
lover. In 1905 William de Landa-either
one of the most famous of the Crusaders
or his son-offers fifty marks and palfrey
for having to wife Joan, who was the wife
of Thomas de Aresey, "if he may be pleas
ing to the said Joan;" the sheriff is in
structed to ascertain the widows wishes,
land if the said Joan shall be pleased to
have him for husband, then the sheriff
shall cause William to have seizin of Joan
and her land"-both of which he obtained
in the name of gentle love and the faith of
true soldier. 1t is fitting that the name
of one of the men who led the assault of
Acre should be preserved in such record
as the above. He was in truth very per-
feet observation-disclosures Magazine.

Italian Rings.

Rings of Italian workmanship are re.
markedly beautiful. Venice particularly
excelled in this art. In the Londesborough
collection is fine specimen. The four
claws of the outer ring, in open work, sup
port the setting of sharply pointed pyra-
midal diamond, such as was then coveted
for writing on glass. The shank bears a
fanciful resemblance to serpent swallow
ing bird, Of which only the claws con-
Meeting the face remain in sight.
1t was with a similar ring Raleigh wrote
the words on window pane, "Fain would
rise, but that l fear to fall" to which
Queen Elizabeth added, IF thy heart fail
thee, do not rise at all" an implied en-
couragement which led him ON to fortune,

Agony.


The music ceased; the curtain rose;

But gazed upon her lovely face
She sat two seats away.
Her cheeks like tinted apple bloom,
Her teeth like cleaning pearls,
Her eyes as blue as summer skies,
A wealth Of golden curls.
And as gazsd upon her face
There came look of pain.
Like cloudy shadow DER the land
1t passed, then came again.

The rose tint fade away,
And that fair cheek grow deathly pale
In speechless agony.

Then slowly went away.

He soon returned and took his seat;
gazed in great surprise.

Flash from my eager eyes.
And as the music died away
His lips this answer bore;
