One of the Delights OF Life.

When old Kaiser Wilhelm was still
Prince of Prussia, he had one day at
Babelsberg, near Potsdam, his beautiful
and ever favorite residence, visit from
that prince among landscape gardeners,
Furst Hermann Won Puckler-Muskau,
who somewhat bluntly expressed his
disappointment at the slow rate of prog
ress in certain improvements in the
grounds-improvements which he had
himself suggested on the occasion of a
previous visit. The future emperor plead
ed his limited means. "But does your
royal highness never borrow money!"
queried Prince Puckler, evidently much
amazed. Never, my dear prince" was
the smiling reply. ''Then your royal
highness has never tasted life's greatest
delight-to wit, the pleasure Of finding
yourself able to pay your debts, after
aur'-Chicago Tribune.

The Oldest GranaYine.

The Oldest grapevine in the country
was indeed interesting One growing
near this, which was known to be more
than so years old, died finally of good
old age and was purchased and trans-
ported in it's entirety to the Chicago
fair. This one is AZ to 80 years of age
and hale and hearty yet. At the base it
is so inches in circumference. 1t grows
straight up for about 3 feet, then di-
vides into six branches, and at this
point is feet in circumference. At a
height of perhaps feet it spreads itself
in all directions over an immense arbor
covering space by actual measurement
of 70 by 66 feet 1t bears in one season
6, 500 pounds Of the purple mission
grape, of which no use is made except
as it is eaten and given away by its
owner to any one who will take it

THE CROCUS.

In sheltered corners and shady places
The wasting SHOWS of the winter lie,
But there Is token of coming roses
In the tender pink of the sunset sky.
Above the dusk of the windy forest
The young March moon is silvery cold.
Come. love, and lean on the gate beside me,
And will tell you a legend old.
A jealous wizard with whitened tresSes
Beheld maiden with yellow hair,
And seized her form In his frosty fingers,
And bore her far 10 his icy lair.
He bound her fast in sleep enchanted.
And hid her deep in a grave OF gloom.
Till over the purple seas came sailing
A slender prince. with a pale green plume.
From the withered grass and earth above
her
He brushed the wreaths OF the sDow aside
And slew the wizard, whose name was Win
ter,
And she rose from the tomb to be his bride.
Looki There she stands by the broken trellis,
Where budding sprays OF the ivy cling,
For the captive maid was the golden crocus;
Her gallant lover. the prince. is Springl

SHAVED HER HUSBAND.
How a Baltimore Lady Raised Money to
Assist In Improving Church Property.

How a Baltimore Lady Raised Money to
Assist In Improving Church Property.
The ladies Of Memorial Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter
are industriOusly working to improve
the church property. Some time ago
they got together, and after discussing
ways and means each pledged herself 70
raise certain sum of money within two
months. The time having expired, a
meeting was held Tuesday night to re-
late experiences and TO learn the result
Of the various undertakings Each lady
returned her card with a larger sum
than she pledged herself for.
The methods used 70 raise the money
were almost as varied as the numbers
Of the cards One lady made and sold
soup, the profit from which supplied
her with money to redeem her pledge.
Another sold cakes, another candy, and
another made and sold dresses. One lady
adopted novel plan to raise the prom
ised money. She has not only strong
nerves and steady hand, but husband
who has great faith in her, for he has
allowed her TO shave him and paid
her the price which he usually paid his
barber. The report does not say any
thing about the condition of his face
after the two months had passed. By
the united efforts of the ladies large
sum was realized, which will be used
to renovate the church. Baltimore Sun.

Venetian Mirrors.

The beauty and almost absolute per-
lection characterizing the mirrors pro-
duced in the manufactures Of Venice
are mainly due, it is said, to the pecul-
lar solution applied to the surface. Pre-
liminary to this application the glass is
thoroughly cleaned with wet whiting,
then washed with distilled water and
prepared for the silver with sensitiz-
ing solution of tin, which is we'll rinsed
off Immediately before its removal to
the silvering table, and the latter be-
ing raised to the proper temperature
the glass is laid and the silvering solu-
ton at once poured over it before the
heat of the table has time to dry any
part of the surface of the glass. The So
luton used is prepared as follows: In
one-half liter Of distilled water 100
grains of nitrate of silver are dissolved,
to this being added 60 grains of liquid
ammonia of 0.88 specific gravity. The
mixture is filtered and made up to eight
hters with distilled water, and 5-10
grams of tartaric acid dissolved in 80
grams of water are mixed with the So
luton. About $40 hters are poured
over the glass meter to be silvered, the
metal Immediately commencing to de-
posit on the glass, which is maintained
at about 104 degrees F., and in little
more than half hour continuous coat
ing of silver is formed After careful
wiping with chamois the surface is
treated a second time with solution
like the first, but containing a double
quantity of tartario acid--New York

English AriStocraoy.

1t is said that large number of the
English aristocracy, badly hit by the
prevailing agricultural depression, have
arranged to hire horses and carriages
this season instead of keeping their own.
Nevertheless the season is expected to
be exceptionally brilliant Several great
mobiles who for various reasons have for
years past kept the doors of their Lon
don mansions closed or only half open
ed, so to speak, have decided to enter
tain this year upon large scale. Prom
inent among these is the Duke of Dew
onshire, who is spending thousands OF
pounds upon the redecoration of Devon

1t is instructive to compare the Wis
age of the ruler of horses with that Of
the ruler Of men. The horseman's face
shows command in the mouth; the drill
sergeant's in the mouth and the eye.
The last is undoubtedly the most effect
i've instrument in exacting obedience
from our own species Here we get a
hint of the cause of that want of dig
nifty, that element of coarseness, which
is discernable in the countenances of
some men and women who have much
to do with horses. The higher and no.
bier method of expressing authority is
Outweighed by the lower and more ami
nal one. e.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Not So Happy as Others.
/ feel genuine sorrow for man who
has pot of money in bank drawing no

While the man who hasn't anything

is tossing ON his couch of anxiety.
There are no tempting investments
being offered the man who may need
his cash within six months and cannot
therefore salt it down in real estate

one of these concerns to a customer
with a $40, 900 balance. "Why, it is
favor to take care of your money for
you We'd rather not have it so far as
any advantage to US goes. We have SO
much on hand that we can't do any
thing with it. We are just loaded up
with funds at present and nobody look

Capable of Holding 10000, and - No Hu-
man Being Lives In IT.
A party OF arch@ologists just returned
here from the northeast corner of North
Dakota tell a thrilling story of the
abandoned city Of West Lynne. The city
is desolate and going to decay. No
traffic goes ON in its streets or business
tn its stores. No homes are in its dwell
ings. The streets are graded, have side
walks, and trees and shaubbery flourish
In the yards surrounding the residences,
but all is silence and loneliness.
The town is opposite Emerson, just
across the Manitoba line from ST. Vim
cent There, ON two sides of the Red
river and within an area of four square
miles, are four towns-Emerson, West
Lynne, Winston and Pembina =
The history of the place is one Of the
romances of town building in the boom
period, when Winnipeg was the metrop-
oils of the north. Some schemers, with
more fertility than scruples, plated and
exploited city on the river at a point
where they claimed the Great Northern
was TO cross Eastern capitalists were
becoming interested, and money was
plenty. There was no sham about the
actual construction of that town, but a
substantial reality.
A man named Murray of Chicago was
the agent. He sold lots at auction for
So, 900 each. While he would be sell
ing, telegram would come notifying
him Of the sale of a certain plot, and it
would be withdrawn. Then he sold ad-
joining lots at advanced prices That
was the broker feature Meantime build
ing was progressing.
No board shanties, wood walls nor
canvas shells, but handsome structures
of brick or lumber, thoroughly finished
in approved style, were erected, and to-
day the town is a handsome but useless
monument to the credulity of some and
the hardihood of others.
1t has buildings which cost from S5,-
900 to SO, 900, and the bridge, which
cost $500, 900, and is capable of holding
a population of 10000, and yet no hu-
man being lives in it.-Philadelphia

Carnegie's English Residence.

Buckhurst park, Earl Delawa1r's
place in Sussex, which Andrew Carne-
gle has taken for the season, is a charm
ing spot near the south coast, only an
hour by rail from London. The house,
although modern, has many associations
of antiquity. 1t stands in the midst of
beautifully timbered grounds, and the
vast park is stocked with red deer Mr..
Carnegie will probably find the estate a
pleasant change from his usual retreat
in the far north of Scotland. He may

Lee interpreted this as the silencing OF our
batteries. and ordered Pickett to charge with
his 10000 Virginia veterans, who had not
been in action. Lee intended to support them
with his artillery, but discovered too late to
remedy the defect that ammunition was lack
ing.
"Pickett's division moved down the slope
and across the valley. only to be met with a
fatal fire from our batteries all along the line.
Never did men show more intrepidity. They
went steadily on in the face of certain death.
They were entiladed; great gaps in their
ranks were made by the awful fire. They
gradually melted away. Enemies as they
were, l pitled and honored the gallant fell
discriminating to the last. They charged
over low stone wall, behind which Gibbons
men lay into the mouth of our batteries. and
fought for some time with pistols and clubbed
muskets. But our troops concentrated upon
them and drove them down the slope, COM
pletely commanded bv our fire. Unable
either to advance, retreat. or stand still, the
poor fellows threw themselves down and held
up their hands as sign of surrender. Very
few escaped. 1t was Il piteous sight, a hor-
rible carnage. l forgot myself in that dread
