THE FENCING BELLIES OF BOSTON.

The Boston girl more graceful grows.
Her blood in healthier heart beats flows,
Because the arts of foil she knows.
Dressed in becoming fencing clothes,
Her broadsword ready for her foes.
With the new exercise she glows.
Far from the envious eyes Of beaux,
A mask upon her pretty nose,
She bushes like a sweet June rose.

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will b5
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb creepy sensation thatexisted in my
arms. hands and legs. Ihad to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in "a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, i had q
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist. together with an indeScribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said It
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing Il their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they
say. it continues its insidiOus progress until
il reaches "A vital point and the sufferer dies.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

Where broad fields hold the summers gold,
And the sunshine giaGs the day:
Where the boys and girls in the swathes and
swirlS
Are raking the new -mown hay,
There are tender signs, there are melting eyes,
And a thrill at the touch of hands:
For doves will COO and youth will WOO
As long as the old earth stands.
Where the spinGle's song the whole day long
Through the factory ward is whirled,
Whose slaves ne'er see fields glad and free,
Nor list TO the voice OF bird,
There are tender signs, there are melting eyes
Ard q thrill at the touch OF hands;
Fo. doves will COO and youth will WOO
AS long As the old earth stands
And land or sea, or slave or free,
1t cocnts not where nor when:
And veal or woe this truth we know,
Where er there are maids and men,
There are tender signs, there are melting eyes
And thrill at the touch OF hands:
For doves will COO and youth will WOO
AS long as the old earth stands.

Full Instructions How to Mount and
A,isht from \ Street Car Safely.
More accidents are attributable to
the ignorance of people in not know
ing how to get on and off a street car
than any other cause. A motorman
says that to do this with perfect safe
ty and ease is not difficult to learn if
only a little attention is bestowed
upon it. The ladies are particularly
careless in getting on and off street
cars, and it is to them more than the
gentlemen that he commends the fol-
lowing suggestions. The perfect ease
and grace with which some people
board electric and cable cars while in
motion can be seen every day. They
simply carry out the rules appended:
When you wish to take car, stand
on the right-hand side of the street, on
the far crossing, in the direction the
car you wish to take is going. Look
toward the motorman or gHpman of
the approaching car; raise your hand
with a slight inclination; the signal
will be understood and the car stopped.
Before attempting to get on transfer
anything you may be carrying to the
left hand or arm; stand close to the
car: grasp the hand rail with the right
hand, step on the lower step with the
left foot, give light spring with the
right foot and you will find yourself
safely and speedily on board. AS you
approach the corner where you wish
to alight. signal the conductor, move
toward the rear of the car. holding
tight to the platform or side of the
door so that you will not feel the sud-
den jerk made in stopping; step on the
lower step: face the way the car is
going: hold on to the rail with the
left hand: stepping of. alight with the
right foot. bending the knee slightly;
bring the left foot in front of the
right. and you will find that you have
acquired an accomplishment that win
be useful to you. Never get off back
ward or straight out from the car

man followed, and the man who had
first spoken went through the cere-
mony of Introduction.
This is Mr.. Monk, sir. Mr.. Monk,
this gentleman is Mr.. Lightwood, of
the firm of Lightwood & Lightwood,
solicitors, Chester"
''And you-who the devil arc you?''
demanded Monk, with his old savagery.
MY name is Marshall, Christian
name, John, though my friends call
me Jack" answered the other, with
airy impudence. ''John Marshall,
governor, of the detective force"
Monk now went pale indeed. But,
recovering himself, he cried: Il know
neither of you. I warned you that 1
was in haste. What do you want? Out
with it,"
The little man now took up the con-
versation, speaking in prim business
like voice, and occasionally referring
to a large notebook which he carried.
''Mr. Monk, you are, l am informed,
the sole heir male of the late Col.
Monk, your cousin by the fathers side,
who was supposed to have died in the
year 1862"
Eyes, that's true. What then?"

being included in an official list of Off
GERS killed and wounded in action, and
it being understood that he died with
out lawful issue, you laid claim to the
demesne of Monlshurst, in cheshire
and that of the same name IN Angle
sea. Your claim was recognized and
in 1865 you took possession"
well, have you detained me to hear
only what already knew?"
Pardon me, 1 have not finished. I
have now to inform you that you in
herited under a Misconceptions first,
because Col. Monk was married and had
issue; second. because he did not die in
India, but reached the shores of Eng
land, where he persisted in the ship
wreck of the vessel Trinidad on Christ,
mas day, 1864"
Monk was livid. At this moment
Jones, who had been watching the
scene from a distance. came over pant
ing and perspiring in ill-concealed ter
rOr.
"Lor', Mr.. Monk, what is the matter?
Look We now. we shall be late for the
wedding"
As he spoke, Marshall, the detective,
clapped him playfully on the shoulder.

Liam Jones father, whose costume wa
nautical, like his sons, but more dam
aged, and who also sported a chimney
pot hat and white rosette.
The crowd gave . feeble cheer. Mat
looked around and smiled, but mingled
with her smile there was q kind O.
vague anxiety and expectation.
It was arranged that Monk should
drive Matt in the dog-cart, while Viii
liam Jones and his father followed il
the commoner vehicle. At Pencroes
! where the ceremony was to be per
formed, they were to meet with one
Mr.. Penarvon, country squire and
kindred spirit of Monks, who had
promised to be "best man"
Monk took the reins, while Matt got
in and seated herself beside him, the
groom getting up behind, and away
they went along the sand-choked road,
followed by Jones and his father.
The day was bright and merry, but
Matt never thought of the old proverb:
''Merry is the bride that the sun shines
on;' she was too busy examining the
prospect on every side. All at once,
as the bridal procession wound round
the edge of the lonely lake. she ut
tered cry of delight. There, stand
ing in its old place by the lakeside, was
the caravan.
Monk looked pale-there was some
thing ghostly in the temperance even
of this inanimate object. He was a
man of strong nerve, however, and he
speedily smiled at his own fears.
AS they approached the spot they
saw Tim standing near the vehicle in
conversation with two strange gentle
men-one a little man in black broad
cloth, the other tall, broad-shouldered
fellow wearing light overcoat and
wide-awake hat. Directly the process
sion approached, this group separated,
and its three members walked several
ly to the road, he with the wide-a wake
hat standing in the center of the road
quietly smoking cigar.
AS the dog cart came up he held up
his hand. Unable to proceed without
running him down, Monk pulled up
duSTAy.
What is it? Why do you blcck the
road?" he cried, fiercely.
Excuse me, governor" returned the
other. coolly. ''Mr. Monk, of Monks
hurst, believer"
That's my name"
"Sorry to trouble you on such day,
but should like few words with YOU"
Il cannot stay-I am going to be
narried!''

MS hat and bowling with grin to Matt.
Glad to see you miss. How do you do?
But the fact is, Mr.. Monk, my business
won't keep. Be good enough to step

ng, inspired partly by the strangers

Weather clear, crisp and dry; fine for pick

fallen TO less than Al cents per pound for the
best. The year has been very unfayorable for
farmers and stockman, and the price of their
commodities continues to decline.
Light crops and low prices caused much
discomfort, and during the campaign Just
ended by the election, politics ran mad. The
election passed off peaceably, and the Popu-
