u.derstood English Wei, Enough.

A North-sider Of musical turn OF
| mind was starting down town recently
when the strains of hand organ
played by an Italian across the street
reached his ear. He recognized the
music as popular aria from ''Semira.

the impresario at the crank was con-
Quoting the performance with excellent
Judgment as to tempo.
Startled at hearing music of such a
class from the much abused hand organ
the North side citizen stopped and lis
tened. The organist finished the aria,
made some change in the interior adj
justment of the machine and started it
again. The selection this time was from
''Lohengrin," and the performance was
equally good.
When the music ceased the listener
crossed the street, took a coin from his
pocket, gave it to the organ grinder,
and said:
do you understand English?'
"Yeh, replied the impresario, pocket
ing the coin and grinning delightedly.
Then want you to play that last
piece again"
The organist grasped the handle OF
his machine, turned it with renewed
vigor, and the suffering atmosphere for
blocks around vibrated with the ago
nizing strains of AFTER the Bali.

MATCHMAKING MOTHERS,

A matchmaking mother is generally
regarded as an aoomination, either In
fact or fancy. She is looked upon as a
sort Of human spider, snXiousiy waiting
10 lure masculine flies into the matrl-
mouial net, and once d woman gets such
a reputation all the eIigi5les steer clear
OF her aud the daughter wishes that
mamma would not be quite so palpaoiy
active 10 her behalf
Though the type Il not a pleasing
one, yet it is only natural for the mo-
Their heart TO long for Injuries and love
as well for the child whom she must
part from some day. Though dubbed
mercenary, she may De only overanI-
ious for the daughters welfare.
Is there anything very strange In a
mother wishing 10 sea her child marry
well? asks the Philadelphia Times.
Wouldn't il DO verv much more peculiar
III she did not care what became OF her,

sort OF future she was preparing Tor

advocate marrying for money alone,
but she is certainly very wise and moth

Doesn't a mother always seek her
child's good from the time her baby
gives it's first feeble wal up 20 the time
thew are separated by death? Doesn't
she sacrifice her own pleasure TO give
enjoyment to that child? Doesn't she
work for 60, weep for 10, and, IL need
be, die for it2 M0therlove is the great

SEWING CIRCLE GOSSIP.

Mrs. Twiggs was quite late az the
meeting OF the Leuten sewing circle last
week-so late that after looking care

BELFAST, March 81, 1894.
For many years Of my sxistsncs l
have had a strong desire TO ride on
haunting car. The intensity OF the
wish was the outcome no doubt OF the
innumerabe graphic accounts OF this
picturesque two-wheeler by travellers
journeying through Ireland. Mydesire
has been granted. NY first experience
was anticipated with delight. But
alas! am now prepared TO believe that
this mode OF transportation Is the In
vention OF the prince OF hades. Let
any LADY OF Wheeling imagine herself
riding horseback for the first time in
her life, while the animal takes TO
lively trot. and she rigidly holds on 10
the pommel OF the saddle, then she has
my idea OF riding ou Jauntlng car.
There is no rest for the back; the vehl-
Gle is pulled over the stopey streets OF
a spirited horse driven by deal-of-may-
care sort Of iehu, whose delight appears
to be intensified in proportion TO one ).
discomfort and terror. | remember my
first ride distinctly. l have had but one
other siuce, and that under the most
violent protest, but il was either ride 10
"car" or walk. | an now prepared,
however, to do any penance rather than
again subject myself to q ride on the
vehicle of the country. As the reader
knows, the two seats Of the car arc back
to back. -Four passengers are full
complement, bat rare occurrence.
When it is so ladened the driver sits on
his small dais Immediately behind and
somewhat above the horses tall, or
where il ought 10 be, as all the horses
in this country are "stu6-tailed." Gen
orally there are but one or two passen-
gers. In which case the driver takes his
seat on the side opposite his customers,
as it balances the heft. The feet OF the
passenger rest upon a swinging foo:-
board, something like they might in the
stirrup of a saddle. Thus one sits
without protection from the wind or
weather or gaze Of the public, aud as

selves and leave any woman who might
be under their protection 10 their own
devices. Galantry is virtue imagined
by old-iashioned poets and writer's OF
romance"
"Do hear her!" cried Mrs. Boggs.
"What she says is only TOO true, SAID
Mrs. Twigqs, gravelY, and l think
each of US could tell some experience
Illustrative OF this fact. II you choose
! will begin. u was several years ago,
when we we're stationed in Boston, that
CAPTAIN Twisgs took my younger sister
and me to see a baseball game. He In
vited two gentlemen also TO be OF the
party, remarking that with man on
each side of US and one between us any
chance ball that came our way could
easily be caught by one OF them. A
ball cid come our way; 1t went right
through my hat, in fact, nearly taxing
q bunch Of plnk roses with II, and hit
man sitting just behind me. Did some
body ask what the gentlemen wera DO
ing? They had all three OF them
crouched down so low that their heads
nearly touched the floor. OF course
they apologized proiusely, but the next
time saw game IL Wss from behind
the wire screen"
II was In horse car once" said Mrs.
Smith, who sat next, land we were
crossing some railroad tracks, when a
man rushed through from the front
platform, shouting, we shall all be
killed: the locomotive is almost on us!
I had the baby in my arms, having
taken her from nurse, and so could
scarcely move. There were two other
women in the crowded car, all the rest
being men. Do you suppose the men
helped US out? II never occurred to
them. The two women CHANGED to sit
near the door, and they were knocked
down and stepped upon by the gallant
creatures, but as the locomotive stopped
just before humping into US, we were
not killed"
Mrs. Boggs said, "How very strange"
but the sentiment found no echo.
when l was engaged to be married, "
said Mrs. Johnson, as she turned up the
hem OF the sheet she was making, II
went 10 the theatre once with my hance.
In the middle Of the second act there
was an alarm of fire, and panic burst
forth at moments notice. / looked
around for my companion, but, alas! be
had disappeared.
And yet you married hIm?"
Indeed, yes; and he has proved a
great success as husband, but l do not
go ont 10 sail boats since with him with
out life preserver. and when l go to
any crowded place Of amusement nova
DAYS ALWAYS sit very near to an exit. "
"There was one class Of men 10 whom
used to place perfect confidence"
said Mrs. Tibbs. They were those
magnificent specimens OF humanity
who stand in polcemen's garb to help
one across the crowded crossings OF
New York. There was particularly
handsome giant, upon whose bravery l
would have staked my life, and upon
whose arm 1 leaut in perfect confidence,
until one dreadful day when four horses
suddenly turned and pranced toward US.
Then my policeman ran away, and 1t
was a nero accident | was not killed. p"
"Dear me, how dreadful" cried Mrs.
Boggs. II know Mr.. Boggs would
never behave so badly; bat then ne has
not been married very long"
