-Clara Louise Kellogg. whose sweet
voice once charmed two continents, Ia
living in New York in comparative
poverty. Once she was worth nearly
81, 100000. but 1t has all been swept
away by unfortunate business ventures.
The once famous woman has lost her
voice entirely, and has no way Of re-
coupling her shattered fortunes.
Senator j. c. Pritchard, of North
Carolina, says that his father was a
Union man, but was drafted into the
confederate army. Senator Pritchard's
last recollection of him is seeing him
mounted on a horse, his feet and hands
bound, on his way to the front, where
he died, an unwilling conscript in a
cause in which his sympathies were
not enlisted.
I'll Hang My Harp on Willow
Tree" has attached to II a bit of royal
romance. 1t was written by young
nobleman. who became deeply enam-
ored of Queen Victoria a year or so be-
fore she assembled the English throne,
which event destroyed his hopes OF
winning her hand. The words first
appeared in an English magazine, and
were set to music by Wellington Guern-
sey.
Not very long ago the duke Of Nor
folk, while walking through the
streets of London, happened to see an
old lady in evident distress. She want
ed cab and could not attract the cab
mans notice. His grace called We
hicle and saw her into it safely. To
his surprise he found three coppers
slipped into his hand, and the old lady
said: There you are my man; go and
get yourself a glass of beerI'
MIR. Wilcox, the husband of the
poetess of passion, is a common sense
business man, with one big piece of
sentiment in his disposition-that is
his love for his wife. On one occa-
sion, when he was travelling, he placed
six or seven photographs of his wife
on the mantel of his room in the hotel.
The pert chambermaid, whisking them
off with her feather buster, electrified
the loving spouse by exclaiming: "My!
What lot of girls you've got!"
Prince Henri of Orleans, son of the
Due de Chartres, who was in Madagas-
car and is now travelling in Asia, was
recently provided with a conseil ju-
diciare by Paris tribunal, on the APP
plication of his father. This is the
French method for saving the property
of prodigals who spend their money too
fast; it puts the administration of the
princes property in the hands Of the
guardian appointed by the court.
Prince Henri is twenty-seven years old.
Edward Everett Hale's remark that
there has not been a good Phi Beta
Kappa poem at Harvard since Oliver
Wendell Holmes in 1885 is gener-
ally Endorsed. The Boston Herald
recalls Bret Harte's extraordinary
performance, approaching the ridicu-
lous, in this line, when, fresh from the
applause of Truthful James and All
Sin, he read some very frivolous verses
before his august audience. To ac-
centuate the absurdity, the poet wore
green kid gloves on the occasion. In
those days Mr.. Harte inclined to gor-
geousness of attire.

DRAGGING is FOOLISH.
It Is Far Better to Let Other People Sing
Your Praises.

It Is Far Better to Let Other People Sing
Your Praises.
In some paper lately Dragging" was
spoken of as ''sin," and the especial
sin of the American people. But this
is charge which is not entirely true.
Dragging is by no means confined to
the American people. And Dragging is
scarcely ''sin," although it is pro-
nounced form of Stiffness. For many
reasons, all sin is foolish. Of course,
just as there is no boy so great a fool
as the boy who docs what he knows to
be wrong and who expects to gain
something by doing it. That can't be
done, and no one knows it better than
the boy who has tried it.
In the first place the braggart is fool
ish who brags of what he is going to
do or going to have or going to be.
What's the use? People don't want to
hear you tell of what you are going to
do" All they answer is: ''Well, do it!
Have it! BE it! Then TALK There
fore, don't talk beforehand. That is
foolish. Wait! People don't believe
you. They will laugh at you.
And again, the braggart is foolish
who talks of what he is, of what he
has or what he does, in the present. 1t
is foolish because it is unnecessary. If
he is noble or great or brave he has no
need to talk about it at all. People will
know it. If he is doing great deed he
adds to the greatness of it by letting
his deed speak for itself. BE sure If the
deed is a grand one it will speak for
itself. People cannot help hearing or
seeing. So don't boast of what you are
or have to do. Let your actions speak
for you.
And once more the braggart is fool
ish who boasts of what he used to be
on to have or what he used to do. Why?
Because If people do not know what
you have done or been they will only
laugh ut your loud boasting. And if
they do not there is no need for you to
speak of it at all, and you belittle your
own act when you boast of it. The
wise way is to make what you do so
great that it speaks itself, for that is
what actions do If they are great
enough. And then all you have to do
is to sit quiet and let other people sing
your praises.
If Dragging is ''sin" it must be the
silliest sin there is. And that is saying
q great deal.-N. Y. World.

cage Of an old African lion, suppos-
ing it would be torn to pieces.
AS many people were assembled to
sec the barbarous exhibition the
bear placed himself in u fighting pos
ture and flew ut the lion, but to the
Arrangement Of every one the lion placed
his paw upon the bears head as IL to
express his pity, and tried to make
friends with him. Taking the bear un-
der his protection he suffered no one to
approach the cage, and did not sleep
until he was exhausted, SO closely did
he watch over his new friend He al
lowed the bear to eat, but refused food
for himself, and guarded the bear with
the jealous affection of human being.
A clergyman tells the story of once
walking through a meadow late one
evening and seeing great number Of
rats migrating from one place to an
other. He stood perfectly still, and
the entire procession passed by him.
Great was his astonishmcnt to see an
old blind rat holding piece of stick at
one end of his mouth, while another rat
had hold of the other end, and thus
conducted his helpless and afflicted
companion Singleton, in Chi
cago Inter Ocean.

Attacked by n Bull Moose.

Two Maine men were out hunting
for deer, when big bull moose came
into view, and in minute the tables
were turned. The old fellow spied
the hunters, and without hesitation
charged them. His gait was tremen-
dous lope, and the first bullets sent into
him only increased his speed. The
hunters had time to fire another shot,
and then they had to run for their lives.
Fortunately they got to a place where
the trees grew SO close that the prog
rcss of their pursuer was retarded.
This gave them time to reload and tho
next shot dropped the big animal 1t
took eleven bullets in all to finish him.
Both hunters before had been slSeptical
as 20 the courage and fury of this mon
arch Of the woods, but they are now
willing to give him wide berth.

The OAsTLE FAME.

High on Endeavors summit stands
The sastle Fame. not made with hands;
Who're Perseverance, meets renown,
And Patience wears the victor's crown.
Its rugged battlements are high.
Its glittering turrets pierce the sky;
And open wide its portal files,
When Genius worthily applies.
But bold Is he who would assay
To climb the steep and narrow way
That leads DER rocks and mountains bare,
Before you reach the castle fair.
Here giddy youth, with winged feet,
Awhile ascend, most gayly feet;
Till. drawn aside by blooming bowers,
They fold their wings amid the flowers.
Some invincible in conceit.
Neer think OF possible defeat:
But failing In each trial vain,
Deride the heights they cannot gain.
And hateful Folly's lustful brood.
Who plan the downfall OF the good.
Like owls ard bats the shadows see:A
And dread the light that crowns the peak.
But Worth tolls on with steady pace,
The certain winner OF the race:
and natures vain and vicious bands
Are left to tread earth's sinking sands.

Another Question Altogether.

Children are too often little spend
thr:fts. They use up an entertain
mcnt for which their fathers and moth
crs would be grateful, and then look
about them for something now. It Is
said that while Rudynrd Kipling was
in England, during the past summer,
he became very fond of Dorothy Drew,
Mr.. Gladstonc's granddaughter. lie
met her ut q country house, and being
very fond of children, took her about
the grounds and told her stories.
After time Mrs. Drew, fearing that
Mr.. Kipling must have had enough of
the childs society, called her and said:
"Now, Dorothy, 1 hope you have been
good child nnd have not been weary
ing Mr.. Kipling."
''Oh, not q bit, mother replied the
little girl, "but you've no idea how Mr..
Kipling has been wearying me-"

overheard some of the talk of the boys
from his hiding place, which had
turned the intended joke of the young
stcrs on themselves.
When the situation became under
stood and the laugh went up, Ted Ban
mister was sicker boy than when he
wanted to get to Jail minute ago, or
expiate his supposed crime on the gal
lows.
you may have chance to go to
Jail yet" said n sympathetic by
stander; 1.-TWO of you, at least, for it
was clear case of burglary, taking
that wire in the way you did. And,
besides, Tom claims it as his, and Mr..
Bannister is as mad as n hornet about
it, It's worth two dollars to say the
least"
What the boys did do was to agree to
pay for the wire themselves, and the
next day Tom came and sold it back to
Mr.. Bannister for dollar and half;
and now there is not n boy in the lot
who would not rather give more than
the price out of his pocket money, than
hear anything said about dead wire.
1--WE ought to have known better"
they say to one another, when the
strongest; ''for didn't we take the
pains to tie it under the cable with
silk cord, instead of passing it over?"
''Yes; but tell you these jokes don't
pay, anyhow"
And it was sure enough this one
didn't.-Golden Days.

STRANGE FRIENDSHIPS.
A Pot Cat and Canary Bird Become In
separxbkc Chums.

| A Pot Cat and Canary Bird Become In.
sepsrzbie Chums.
Cats learn all sorts of antics and some.
times form contradictory attachments,
young, birds mice and puppies being
the peculiar objects of affection. A
story Is told from authentic sources
about n lady who had a pet canary and
an equally well-beloved cat. When
alone she allowed the former to fly
about the room. Chance discovered
that pussy was as fond of the canary
as herself; for, to her surprise, ono
morning she entered the room to find
that the. bird had escaped and was
perched ON the body of the cat, who
was apparently delighted. The bird
seemed to have no fear, and after that
the two pets were devoted companions.
Their mistress had, however, another
fright. One day the cat gave terri
bic growl, and, seizing the bird In her
mouth, leaped on the bed for protec-
ton. Her tail was swelled to twice it's
natural size, her hair stood on end and
her eyes were as big as four ordinary
cats eyes. The bird was given up for
lost The secret was this: A strange
cat had entered the room, and it was
for the preservation of the bird that the
cat had seized him, and as soon as the
intruder was driven away she set the
prisohcr ut liberty.
Another author tells the story of
cat and dog friendship. These two
nntipathetic creatures by nature grew
so unnaturally fond of each other that
they were never willingly asunder.
Whenever the one had choice morsel
Of food he was sure to divide it with
the other. They ate out of the same
plate, slept in the same bed, and took
walks together. Wishing to put the
friendship to the proof, the master
took tho cat by herself in one room,
and gave her sumptuous meal during
which she enjoyed the bones of the
quail and seemed to forget the dog.
The other half of the quail, uneaten,
was put in a cupboard, the door Of
which was unlocked. The cat left the
room, went to the dog, and mcwed
loudly in different tones, being
answered with short barls. Presently
the dog followed his friend, and, going
to the cupboard, the cat pushed off the
plate covering the quail and laid it be-
fore the dog, who devoured it quickly.
A curious circumstance took place
in New Orleans in the year 1889,
when q bear was lowered into the

want to be shut up where l can't see

"And no one would have thought tho
same but pack Of jabbering idiots"
sounded the voice of Mike in the boys
ear. Faith, and why hasn't it killed
the horse? Wake up, Tom!' he shout
ed, in a loud voice. ''And that's a
mighty fine bundle of wire the boys
have been giving YOU"
The people stared at Mike as II they
thought the dreadful calamity had
driven him mad, except few who had
heard and needed his remark about
the horse. They noticed that all the
phenomena did not just accord with
an electrical killing, and some of the
cooler-headed began to shake their
heads, and creep back from the front
ranks, as IL not DESTROYS of being
caught in too conspicuous positions.
And they were none too soon about
it, for that minute Tom responded to
the summons of Mike as IL it had been
a preconcerted signal, and sat up in
his wagon and began reeling in the
new wire, after giving it n stout jerk,
to disengage it from the cable overhead.
Then busy tongues began to fly, and
1t was not five minutes before every
one could tell glibly enough how he
had understood just the nature of the
hoax from the first, und had only
stayed around to help the joke on.
But the truth of the matter was, no
one fully understood it but Tom and
Mike, and it was the pointer the former
had received from the latter, after he
had seen Mr.. Bannister's bundle of wire
disappear from the alley window and
