Full half a hundred mellow rays
Upon as many shining gowns.
Bright sparkling eyes. and dlmpled check:
And rosy lips that parted now
And then with merry little peols
or laughter ochoing through the room.
Grace Beauty. Fashion Chivairy
With one another mingled free.
While low sweet strains OF melody
Stole softly through the coterie.
Played hide-and-seek amid a bower
Cf biushing roses. spreading palms,
And delicatcly-fas ferns.
And, laden with the rich perfume
OF tiny modest, half-blown buds,
Touched secretly a sensitive chord.
And reused anew the sleeping hope
That months had failed to smother.

The Meeting Of the CITY Democratic Com
,nitsee VIII he Important.

From present indications, the meeting
Of the City Democratic Committee, on
next Tuesday night. will be one of great
er interest than the two previous ones,
as il is said that questions which We're
considered settled viii be reconsidered,
and probably decided differently.
Ever since the committee voted 10
submit the Epps resolution 20 the peo-
pie in the shape Of query as TO whether
they favored a change in the city charter
or not there has been considerable COM
plant, many of the people of Richmond
saying that they wished TO have the
names OF the city officials printed upon
the ballot. and 10 be allowed 10 scratch
those whom they did not wish elected
by popular vote. IL is said that this
question will be re-opened Tuesday night
and again discussed. and the result may
be that the committee may revise its
decision and adopt the aforementioned
plan.

The Dead OF the ssa.

An inquisitive Frenohman has
thought it worth while to ask what be-
comes of the bodies, after death, of the
numberless fish and other living crea-
lures that fill the sea. OF course they
all die. sooner or later. and yet it is an
occurrence so rare as to be practically
unknown for anybody who lives beside
or on the ocean to come across the ''re-
mains" of even single victim of the
fate that awaits all things mortal. In
the profounder depths putrefaction can
not take place, SO If dead fish once
reached those calm, chill abysses he
would be preserved until the end of
time. Probably, however, no such
peaceful repose awaits more than an in
finitesimally small proportion of the
finny folk, and no great accumulation
of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom of
the sea. The living eat the dead before
they can make the long, slow journey
downward. AS matter of fact, ex-
tremely few fish, and perhaps none,
ever meet what is known as natural
DEATH" Almost always they are slain
and devoured, and SO put definitely out

Flowers In Northern Russia.

An English traveller in northern Rus
sia writes to The Gardeners Chronicle
that nothing surprised him more than
the universal presence Of well grown
towering plants in dwelling rooms.
Even In the cells of monasteries and in
the studios of city photographers farther
north than Archangel he found such
plants as oleanders, crotons, pelargoni-
INNS and fuchsias in almost every room.
The double windows, so necessary to
keep out the cold, have draft tight
space between them filled with flower
ing plants, and it does not seem neces-
sary to open them for air during the
short hot summer. From September TO
June the country is buried in snow and
shut in by ice. The average temperature
for January is only 10 degrees. Tho
July temperature, however, has an av-
erage of go degrees f., which is hardly
to be wondered at when it is remem-
bered that tho sun shines % hours out

SEA ANEMoNE AND BARNAcLE.
An Odd Pair of Chums to BE Seen In the
Aquarium at Castle Garden.

An Odd Pair of Chunla to BE Seen In the
Aquarium at Castle Garden.
The sea anemone is very sensitive
It closes at a hostile or thoughtless
touch, not rapidly, for it can't do any
thing very rapidly. but as rapidly as it
can, curling its tentacles inward and
covering them over with its outer skin
and fiattening ii down upon the rock
But it is not disturbed by its friends
In one of the smaller glass tanks at the
city's aquarium at Castle Garden there
are several little sea anemones taken
from spiles and stones about the Bat
terry. In the same tank, almost within
reach of these anemones. are some COM
mon barnacles-little ones. half an inch
or so in diameter. Lacking in beauty
as the barnacle may be, it is provided
with a most wonderful handlike men,
Der, which it throws up from its shell,
with which it sweeps the water for
food, the minute animalcul@ upon
which it feeds.
One of these barnacles is so close to
one of the little anemones that when he
filings his net it almost or quite touches
the tips of the anemone's tentacles,
which spread like the most delicate and
feathery branches of the tiniest little
tree. But the anemone doesn't close mp.
Not bit. Here down deep in the tank
its branches wave in the gently agitat-
ed water, as, delicate as they are, they
might do in the gentlest zephyrs on the
land, and they wave and wave as the
barnacle throws its net. Perhaps the
sea anemone has its own benefit in mind
through all this. for it is quite probable
that the agitation of the water brings
to it food that it might not otherwise
receive; but, however that may be. the
fact remains that the little anemone
that would close at the slightest touch
of an enemy is quite undisturbed by any
thing that its friend and neighbor the
barnacle might do.-New York Sun.
