HELLIE's EYES.

fweet NeIlie's eyes are twilight born,
The eyes 1 love to greet;
They never opened first at morn,
Or mid the noontide heat
But when the sun was sinking low
Before the stars began to glow,
Where southern jesamines sway and blow
They caught their shadows sweet.
O Nellie's eyes, sweet Nelie's eyes
IIlumined with celestial dyes,
They haunt my dreams
With gentle CLEANS
Wistiul.
Tristfu',
Twilight eyes.
Sweet Nellie's mouth is summer-kissed
To grace beyond eclipse;
One eve a ruby rose was missed
And blossomed on her lips,
And softer thar the coo Of dove
OF southern winds that fit above
Are all her words, and naught but love
From out her rose mouth slips.
O Nelue's lips, sweet Nellie's lips,
Their dulcet tone like honey drips
Upon the ear
Serenely clear
Slender,
Tender,
Summer lips.
Sweet Nellie's locks are sunset crowned
Der ears Of sea-shells mold,
And mid their lissome loops are found
The cleaning tints of gold.
No locks more fair in trancing lure
We're ever clasped by hllet pure
To wake the lay of ~troubadour
Or fire a bard of old.
o Nellie's hair, sweet Nellie's hair
My heart lies in its silken share.
Nor time nor art
The bond shall part
Twining,
Shining,
Sunset hair

ODDS AND ENDS FROM ABROAD.

The report of the Victorian (Austra-
lia) Tariff Board shows the feeling of
the colony to be in favor Of moderate
protection, but opposed to high or pro-
hibitiye duties. The board found that
the duties levied to foster industries
have failed and have become great
burden on the community. Desiring
to promote federation, the board aimed
at recommending similar duties to the
other colonies. They proposed that
wine-making appliances should be free,
and that reductions should be made in
the duties on woolens, wine, spirits,
sugar, boots. hats. soap, candles, car
riages, biscuits. jewelry, BICYCLES, farm.
ing implements, stationary and other
articles.
Herr Won Kotze, the Master of Cere-
monies at Berlin, who was recently ao-
quilted by military court of the
charges of writing libelous letters
which had been brought against him,
was obliged, nevertheless, in order to
clear his character completely, to ohal-
lenge his accusers. He fought his duel
with the first among them recently,
and was shot in the thigh. The radical
newspapers denounce the system which
compels an innocent man thus to haz-
ard his life without reason.
King Oscar is said to take gloomy
view of the N orwegian crisis, and to
entertain fears that it may develop into
dangerous conflict, in which case he
would probably abdicate. The Crown
Prince, who in such case would as
cend to the throne. does not entertain
friendly feelings toward Norway, and
would certainly not give way. The
Swedish General Staff asserts that a
military occupation Of Norway could
be carried out without difficulty. In
Stockholm it is acknowledged that the
real difficulties would begin after an
occupation had been successfully accom-
plished.
Not long ago Polish lady, a refugee
named Nine. Rostowska, said to be 112
years old, appeared at the Prefecture at
Lille to receive her pension from the
French Government. Her history is
extraordinary. She followed the
French army in the Russian campaign
as canteen woman, and took part in
twelve campaigns in all. She was
twice wounded, and wears the order Of
the Silver cross. In 1881 she acted as
surgeon to the Tenth Polish line regi-
ment. in which her husband was q
captain. For the last twenty years
she has lived at Aniche, where she is
known for her philanthropy. She
brought up fifteen children, though
her last surviving son died several
years ago, aged 80.

LHIEF OF THE SHOSHONES.

When the great geyser had ceased
to play, Whirlwind stood beside the
medicine man.
"Where is Washakiep" he asked
"Where is the would-be war chief?'
"There," answered the medicine
man. pointing to an object lying near
the mouth of the crater. HE has
found the tomanowas; but he pierced
the heart of the Fire Spirit with
arrows, and the Fire Spirit has slain
him"
The water had subsidized and fallen
back into the earth. Washakie lay
back upon his face, crushed and smoth-
cred, as far from the crater as the
length Of the lariat to which he was
bound permitted the water to throw
him. In his right hand he still clutched
the quiver, half filled with red, ocher
GUS earth. The medicine man had
taken care that the body should not be
lost, says A. H. Sydenham in Lippen-
colts.
"Here is the secret" he said, tax
ing up the culver. 1t is the blood of
the heart of the Fire Spirit. Whirlwind
shall be war chief of the Shoshones.
He shall wear the tamanowas in his
war bonnet.
Casting the body of Washakin into
the crater they turned their backs upon
the Fire-Hole Basin and crossed the
mountains into the land of the Shos-
homes. White Bull at the council fire
told of fight between the two rivals
and the Fire Spirit, in which Washakie
had been slain, but the Whirlwind had
come away victorious. Then the
crafty deed of the medicine-man was
rewarded by the election of Whirlwind
as war chief.
That summer when he led his people
against the neighboring tribes Whirl-
wind placed the tomanowos in the beak
of the eagle which crowned his war
bonnet. Though foremost among the
failing braves he received no wound.
Bullets struck away the feathers Of his
war-bonnet, his pony was killed, the
wings of the eagle were torn away but
Whirlwind was not touched. And
until the Bad Spirit swept the valleys
of Idaho with plague twenty years
later, Whirlwind remained the in
vincible war-chief of the Shoshones, for
his people believed the tale which
White Bull had told of the power of
his tomanowos.

SUGGESTIVE OF THE SEA.

The very latest and guaintest portiere
is made of small, stransparent shells.
1t is modelled after the familiar Japa-
nese sort made of bamboo or beads, but
is really unique in its effect. The
shells are all of the same size-about
three-quarters of an inch in diameter
and they are strung upon fine, flexi
BILE silver wire. AS the portiere is of
the regulation size, the number of shells
can be more easily imagined than COM
puted, and one is completely appalled,
at the amount of time and patience the
collecting alone must require.
Every woman who has visited the
seashore has gathered few in her
time, but surely there must have been
some scientific method Of gathering
devised, or the price must exceed $50
the very moderate sum asked for
the first one that has been seen.
Some two years ago one ambitious
woman of original mind constructed
lamp shade of these same lovely, trans
lucent shells, which show all tints from
white to deep yellow, but until now no
Ou6 udS dbtSluptCu any SuOh an ploiouo
piece of work as this. The shade was
charming in its way, and is so vividly
recalled by the more elaborate hanging
that it claims its share of notice at this
time. The foundation was heavy cape
net, and to it the shells were sewed in
overlapping rows, each one being
pierced at the point of the hinge. The
labor of collecting sufficient number
for even that comparatively small OBJ
ject was great, and. in view of that
fact, it seems incredible that the por-
there can have been constructed without
some other method than the picking up
of shells one by one, which is common
to all visitants to the shore. liz any
case, the result is charming. Besides
the soft, tender tones and the peculiar
ity, which is always charm, there is
suggestion of the sea that is. in itself,
delight. One could fancy that such
hanging would induce dreams of
the most soothing sort and that close
familiarity might reveal charms more
numerous even than at first appears.

FAMILY SHOES

in America; whole districts of the finest forest land have been cleared, but never replanted, so that we obtain always more rarely really good cedar wood, and the blocks which we are now obliged to use supply only half as many pencils as formerly. Not only does the cost of the production of the pencils rise consid- erably in consequence of the bad wood, but the American industry pours upon the market it's surplus product of thous- ands of gross below cost price, and so de- presses the prices in countries which inn pose only low duties or none at all. The consequence of this is that the German manufacturers can only compete at loss and that the trade in cheap markets, such as India, Mexico, Japan, Australia, etc, is as good as lost. The English mar ket has been literally swamped of late years with cheap American pencils at ridiculously low prices. The conditions in other countries are almost as unfavor- able to the eGrman export trade as in the United States. Italy, Russia and France impose immense duties on pen- cils, and in France the use of German pencils in schools public boards, rail- ways, etc., IS forbidden"
