MAUD MULLER AND TRiLBY. {
Maud Muller had a Trilby foot,


Maud Muller had Trilby foot,
But she was not a Trilby.
A very different girl was she,
And SO her story will be.
Sweet Maud was dressed in tattered gown.
Trilby in altogether
For Trilby posed in studios
And Maud out in the weather.
Poor Maud, ashamed of her bare feet,
Her bushes tried to smother,
While Trilby first put one foot out
And then stuck out the other.
Love came to both of them one day,
Which they both had to smother,
The judge he smiled and rode away,
Billee went with his mother.
Then both these girls were hypnotized,
Poor Maudie by farmer,
While Trilby fell beneath the spell
OF satanic charmer.
Poor Maud she sighed, "It might have
been!'
But Trilby knew it should not,
So bravely tried to let him go,
And sing although she could not.
Alas, for Judge and gifted boy,
The darling little Billee!
Strangers evermore to Joy
Their fate they bore quite lily.
The world, too, signs with secret pain.
And wishes, "Wil1 he, mill he,'
The judge had married rustic Maud
And Trilby Little Billeel

Mcbride told a party of his friend
this story "You know, boys, little peo-
pie have sharp ears, and they are not at
all backward about telling any little

popularity has led a good many parents
to resort to spelling words when their
young children are present. Of course

youngsters learn to spell. Well, Mrs.

A Gurious Custom,

A puriaua custom still prevails at the
coal pits on Hogmanay, in Scotland
The first man to come up the pit after
his work is over is received with

Sir John Franklin,


It was in Warwickshire that made
the acquaintance of Sir John Franklin,
while I was still quite a child. The
stout, good humored gentleman, whose
image appears before me as write his
name, is associated in my mind with an
event in which he took the keenest in
teresa total eclipse of the sun-but the
amusement afforded by a rather absurd
incident connected with it am afraid
engrossed my childish mind more than
all the scientific explanations Of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was SO we'll qualified to give.
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode Of witnessing the OBJ
scuration OF the sun was to watch it
through pieces Of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sailed forth to an open piece of
ground where nothing impeded the view.
The result was that ia the course Of a
few minutes the neses of every one pres
ent were severely blaekened-
seiously to themselves-and the appear
ance Of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic.
Sir John Franklin appeared then so
full of life and energy and high spirits
that it was difficult to think of him aft
erward as the worno4t suffering here of
that lasb fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense as to his fate during
a period cruelty long and trying to his
wife and to all who had relatives among
his companions in the icebound vessels.
One of my cousins was of the number,
and I well remember the sensation in
bis home when some Of the relics Of the
disastrous expedition, afterward brought
back, were identified as having belonged
to him.-Blaekwood's Magazine.

THE cANNY scoTcHMAN.
His Vices and His Virtues Compared wit
Those of Other Folks,

Those of Other Folks.
One is not quite sure that the religi-
Osity of the Scotch makes them SO much
more virtuous than people who pay less
attention to 'tthe means of grace. But
while it cannot readily be proved that
they have more of the positive virtues
than their neighbors there is at least
some reason to believe that they are
freer from few of the ugly vices than
their southern cousins, although when
the Scot is bad he is very bad. When he
gives way to drink, for instance, he
runs to great lengths. But it will be
found that there is much less wife beat
ing (there being nothing in Scotland at
all resembling the frightful practice Of
"clogging" known in Lancashire
towns), much less cruelty to children,
much moro kind]iness and fellow feel
ing among the Scottish people than
among the English, while at the same
time the Scotch are not nearly SO CLAN
nish as the Irish. the Jews or the Chi
nese.
In his poem on "Nothing" Rochester
has classed 'tScotch civility" along with
"French TRUTH and "Hibernian learn
ing" as being nonexistent. Even Walter
Scott causes Mr.. Owen to speak Of
typical Scot like Bailie Nicol Jarvie, as
"that cross grained crabstick of the
Saltmarket, and are we not told that
the term 'sScot'' as well as "Gael," de-
rived from word for "wind, means
"the violent, stormy people?' In spite
of all this and much more to the same
end the Scot, take him all in all, is not
fairly chargeable with being lacking in
courtesy. The word "couthy'' (the op-
posite Or positive of "uncouth, dimin-
ntived by the addition of the terminal
"y"), signifying com bination of quiet
kindliness and sweetness of manner, has
no English equivalent, and thus would
seem to indicate peculiarly Scotch
quality, which, it may be said, tends to
wane considerably with the growth of
commercialism, giving place to brus-
query peculiarly the outcome of the
crush; Of business, and what Carlyle
called the "mere cash nexus'' between
man and man.
Scottish speech abounds in what may
be called pet words, which would seem
to testify that, whether the Scotch be
stormy and sharp tongued or not, they
Gan, upon occasion, be as insinuatingly
smooth tongued as the willy Italian him
self. Westminster Review.

REIGN OF HIGH CARNIVAL
St. Louis In a Blaze of Giory-Seven Weeks
 of Uninterrupted Gaiety.

The name of Ameriea's greatest carnival center-St. Louis-will be blazoned on the skies of gaiety from September 4th to October 19, 1895. The eighteenth annual reign of carni- val will pervade the city, and for seven weeks European capitals noted for their season of mystery and re- gal entertainment will gracefully bow to the superiority of the city on the banks of the Mississippi.
 September vii mark the opening of the Twelfth Annnal St. Louis Expo- sition. This splendid feature of St. Louis carnival period will remain open until October 19. In addition to Sousa's world-famed band, many new attractions will be offered. Sep- tember to l4, the celebrated French

September 30 to October 12, Ivan Tscheroff's celebrated educated mules, the Russian dogs, are carded for series of wonderful performances. October 13 to 19. Price Kokin, the greatest Japanese iuggler alive, will fill an engagement while Buck Tay- Tor and troupe of native Sioux Indi- ans and Miss Cornelia Campbell Bed ford, of New York, Demonstrator Of Cooking, will appear every day dur ing the Exposition season.
 That mysterious parsonage, King Hotu, and his retinue will give day light parade September 27. This one of the most unique attractions of the carnival season in St. Louis, and is grotesquely staged. October to 12, the world-beater, the great St. Louis Fair, will be the attraction. On the evening of October His Majesty, the Yelled Prophet and royal court, will parade the principal thoroughfares of the city, followed by the famous ball which is known throughout the land.
 All the St. Louis theaters, during the season of high carnival, have billed most excellent attractions. Among the number might be men, tioned, 'HTrilby," ''Lysceum Theater Company" Charles Frohman's Stock Company, Hoyt.s "A Black Sheep" DeWolf Hoppar, etc.
 The management of the Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain Route constantly having the inter- este of St. Louis in mind, will sell tickets from all points on the system to the carnival city and return at greatly reduced rates.
