THE LOVE CHASE.
Though oft pass her on the street,

Though oft pass her on the street,
! seldom seem to catch her eye;
She rarely let's our glances meet,
Although she knows I'm passing By.
But though to me she does not speak,
Nor give a look my heart to cheer.
The furtive blush upon her cheek
Tells me she knows that am near.
TTis true she's full of girlish art,
A trait that's common to her sex,
But she is no coquette at heart,
Though oft her tricks my mind perpiex-
know she's partial TO the rose
I've sent her some, both red and yellow
Yet out upon the street she goes
With violets from some other fellow
And still this love chase pursue,
Twixt hope and fear continue woofng
One day o'erjoyed, the next so blue
scarcely know what am doing.
But one thought l take comfort in,
And gloomy doubt gives place to rapture
The harder she may be to win
The dearer yet will be the capture.

An English Boys knowledge of Literature.
Every one who is not schoolmaster is
aware that young Englishman knows
| almost nothing of the literature of his
| own land, and what little he does know
he dislikes, because he has had at school
to translate it into Latin. 1t is most hui
initiating to hear an American youth
discourse upon this matter while our
own sons sit mum and glum. Efforts
| have been made of late to find out what
our boys do read for their own pleasure,
and the result of these inquiries seems to
be that they read the accounts of prize
fights.
One headmaster tries to prove that
this is derived from the influence of
Homer, but it is much more likely that
it comes from. perusal of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever cause it arises,
it is certainly true that while there is. no
deficiency of good poetry and good fic-
ton among US the rising generation
cares for neither.-London Illustrated

The dogs Of Paris are giving a good
deal of trouble to the police as we'll as to
their owners, who scarcely dare let
them go out of their sight lest they
should be pounced upon and taken off
to the Fouriere to be forthwith destroyed.
There can be no question that in the
very hot weather stray dogs constitute
a certain danger. 1t appears, however,
from all that is said on the subject,
that the new police regulations concern
ing dogs are rather heedlessly severe,
the consequence being frequent COLI
sions between dog owners and the police.
The other day, for instance, an almost
serious scuffie occurred In Paris, the
cause of which was a dog. The animal
was noticed by policeman in the street
to be without the regulation muzzle.
and was at once arrested" II the ex-
preston may be used.
A woman claimed the animal as her
property in presence Of a crowd Of SOC
people. The affair took such lively
turn that the police officers were com
pelled to draw their sword bayonets in
their own defense. The upshot Of the
matter was that one OF the officers was
rather severely injured, and that had II
not been for the arrival Of q party oi
constables on the scene 1t Is probable
there would have been serious fighting
In the course Of the scuffle the dog, the
original cause Of 1t, escaped.-Lsvani

A Sad Plight.

A very difiident young man, who is strug-
Cling with his first faint signs of mus
tache and lovesckness, went down to the
quiet little village of Berlin, on the Cam
den and Atlantic railroad, ON Sunday. His
visit to certain fair one was so pleasant
that the evening hours wore away with as
tonishing rapidity. He came to his senses
at an hour long past the movement of the
last train for the city. The fair ones fam
lily made him comfortable for the night,
and he passed into dreamland full of hap
piness.
When the family awoke the next morn
ing, it was thrown into CONSERVATION.
Burglars had invaded the house during the
night and carried off lot of things The
diffident young man was awakened by the
confusion, and vainly he searched for his
trousers. Cold perspration broke outu upon
him, and he sat down upon the bed and
walled inwardly. He managed to acquaint
his sweetheart's relatives of his predica-
ment, but as paterfamilias was the only
man in the family, and he weighs close to
300 pounds, the trouble was only accentl-
ated. There is not a pair of trousers on
sale in Berlin, and the unfortunate love-
lorn youth was compelled to remain prs-
oner in his room while his sweetheart came
to the city, got pair of trousers at his
home and took them down at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. n.-Philadelphi Record.

THE NEW CHINESE BILL
The Photograph Provision and the Decll
ration Concerning Merchants.

Inc monograph frOElslon ana the Declnr
ration Concerning Merchants.
The senate of the United States on the
day before its adjournment passed the
act for the amendment of the Geary ex-
clusion law precisely as it came from
the house. In view of this decision and
Of the overwhelming majority which the
measure had received in the house, it
must stand as the matured expression Of
the Judgment of the representatives Of
the American people as whole.
1t is rather noteworthy that while the
period of extension granted to the Chi
nese for registration is six months after
the enactment of this new law, the time
will expire during the first week of next
May, or almost exactly one year after
the period fixed in the original Geary
act. That year will have taught much
to our Mongolian fellow residents, and
they may be expected to avail themselves
almost to man of the privilege now ac-
corded by congress.
The new law requires of the applicant
photograph, and this provision has
sometimes been stigmatized as import
ing rogues' gallery methods into its ex-
ecution. This criticism is not sound.
Many railroads. as was pointed out in
the house debate, in giving their most
favored customers the privilege of what
are known rs 1000 mile tickets for q low
er price than ordinary mileage rates, re-
quire that upon such ticket shall be
YN1ona1 p,,1y, tha -
but his photograph. in order that no.
body else may use it. Most of those
persons who had season tickets of free
admission to the Chicago fair were in
like manner obliged to attach their pho
tographs to the tickets. In these and
similar cases the purpose is not humilia-
ton, but Identification, so that privileges
granted may not be misused by persons
who come wrongly into possession Of
them. That is exactly the case with the
Chinese, and there is nothing else in the
requirement of a photograph for the GER
tificate Of protection
Another important new feature of the
amendment act is that which defines the
word merchant" as used in the Geary
law. No one can question that it is bet
ter to have precise description of what
is intended by this term than that it
should be left to conjectural interpreta-
ton outside of the lawmaking power.
A merchant is now declared to be, for
the purpose of this act, "a person en-.
gagged in buying and selling merchandise
at fixed place of business, which busi-
ness is conducted in his name, and who,
during the time he claims to be engaged
as a merchant, does not engage In the
performance of any manual labor, ex-
cept such as is necessary in the conduct
of his business as such merchant" This
does not appear to be an unjust definition,
or one unduly strained for the purpose of
excluding persons from the status of
merchants who are fairly entitled to it..
But however that may be, the words
thus used in the amended act are direct
ly drawn from similar definitions, either
in preceding Chinese exclusion acts or
in existing treasury decisions interpret
ing those acts and establishing rules for
their execution.--New York Sun.

However, it was the dress which at
tracted and held your attention, for the
little cavalier was in full Scottish dress,
with hose and kilt of the gayest tartan,
the latter rolled down to show q glimpse
of dimpled and sunbrowned sturdy
knees. The coat was of black velvet,
the bonnet of hunters green, and the
plaidie thrown over his shoulder, which
was to be thrown down over the sand in
a couch for the little maid, had the color
OF tho autumn mOoTs il its CheCkings.
And the tiny lady wore a coat of the
dull soft green that lichens show, with
a brocade of darker greens and paler
grays. This coat was laid in deep tuck
about the edge, and had huge mutton
leg sleeves tucked to the elbow, the
whole finished with a yoke of Irish
point lined with green. The little bon
net of Quaker gray had a big white satin
bow on the outside and fine lace bor-
der inside the broad brim, and was tied
with broad white satin strings under the
chin.-New York Sun.

Jim.

Sometimes, when the scent of early May
Sits through my window, a soft spring day,
shut my eyes and can seem to see
Little lame Jim in the apple tree,
Playing umpire, lust for funl"
In the races he never might hope to run,
And can hear him laugh as he shouted, gay
"One-to make readyl
Two-to be steady
Three, and-Awayl"
Never a race was there for Jim,
Never course marked out for him,
But always the boys with tender care
Bore him out In the soft May air
And bolstered him up in the tree In state,
With "There, old fellow, amt that great2
Now give us start; that verse you know
One-to make readyi
Two-to be steady!
Three, and-Gor"
Over the brook and down the lane,
Through the meadow and back again
And Jim would forget his dignity,
And lean far out from his perch to see,
Watching the boys as they leaped the wall.
Hi! Run, Bill, run!' could hear him call
And his clear voice chant as the victors came
"The flrst's the best,
The seconds the same,
The lasts the worst of all the game"
Dear little Jiml His race is run,
His walls are cleared and his vict'ry won,
And the boys rub their eyes with grimy paws
1--WE can't run races" they say, because
Jim's not in the tree to start us fair.
It's no fun playing with Jim not there.
Nobody else knows how to say
'One-to make readyl
Two-to be steady!
Three, and--Awayr"
