THE OLD eINHousE.

Swaying pines have grown around 1t,
Trumpet vines with garlands bound it,
Yellow jasmines climbed and crowned it.
Laughing down their green and gold.
Tendrils through each crack escaping
Hide the worn roof widely gaping,
Every hole with beauty draping
In the ginhouse gray and old.
In the morn the squirrels peeping,
Ger the rafters lightly leaping,
With bark awake the sleeping
Owl, who blinks up, drowsy polled;
And at night, with sudden stirring
From the caves, the wan light blurring.
Fit the bats with dusky whirring
Round the ginhouse gray and old.
Oh, the days we'll nigh forgotten,
When along the floor now rotten
Waves and waves of snowy cotton
Oft in billowy beauty rolled,
While the toilers wrought a-singing
Mellow lays that yet are ringing
Ger the tide of time still winging
From the ginhouSe gray and oldl
Oh, those songs with sweetness teeming
Chasing care and pain redeemingl
Often still they soothe my dreaming,
By sad memory softly trolled,
And at eve their echoes dying
Haunt me, meath the pine trees lying,
Listening to the wind low signing
Round the ginhouse gray and old.
Lorn is now the old plantation,
Fairest spot in all creation,
Teardrops choke the sad relation
And its sorrow can't be told.
Poets Tilt of ruins hoary
Over sea in song and story,
All must yield in beauty's glory
To the jasmined ginhouse old.

horses understand Cneir business as well
as the men. They never allow run
away to get past them. A stern chase
is often a long chase. Under the regu-
lations riders and drivers are allowed to
move only at certain speed within the
park. A runaway of course always ex-
ceeds this pace, and the policeman's
horse detects the rapid patter of hoofs
as quickly as he does himself. New
York Herald.

It is not servant girl stupidity alone,
for many half educated people will as
sert that sunlight puts out fire. Some
such great potency the sun is supposed
to possess, in power to extinguish any
poor fire made by human hands. This
belief, it is possible, owes it's origin in
sun worship, for of all natures phenom-
ena the action Of the sun must have
been the one which had the strongest
effect on primitive man. We know pos
itively that the sun has nothing to do
with the burning of combustibles on
this earth. Nevertheless to believe that
it does is one Of the popular errors most
difficult to quash. New York Times.

STOPPING RUNAWAYS.

which they are called upon to perform.
This pride in their horses has led to
friendly spirit of rivalry between the
men, which is undoubtedly the cause of
the excellence of the department. The
stopping Of a runaway. in the drives or
bride paths is by no means an easy I'M
dertaking. The comparatively few seri-
Gus accidents resulting from runaways,
which during the greater portion of the
year average more than 30 a month,

while riding at breakneck speed, or

it came to taking their lives in their

boys who never mounted horse until
they joined the squad. I'll warrant that
any of my men will catch any runaway
that ever started in the park. Would
you like to see our system Of stopping
horses?"
Baldwin was called in and the SER
geant gave orders to have his horse sad
died. When all was in readiness, the
two men rode down the bride path to
give an illustration of the system which
all the men have practiced and studied
until they now have it down to perfec-
ton. Sergeant Egan halted and Bald
win, on his horse Harry, went down the
path to get good start. In moment
he came flying toward the sergeant on a
dead gallop. Egan's horse pricked up
his ears, already scenting the work cut
out for it. AS Baldwin came nearer
Egan's superb animal began to move
with gradually increasing speed until
the supposed runaway was alongside,
and then it ran neck and neck with
Baldwin's horse.
Reaching. out, the sergeant grasped
the bride of Baldwin's horse, and his
own steed began to pull back, coming
to a complete standstill within ten
yards Several more trials were made,
the men taking turns at stopping each

IT WAS EASY TO DO OVER.
How Her Husbands Desk Was Transform.
ed Into q SidebOard.


A suburban woman is obliged to en-
dure the gibes and jeers Of {. her family
without retaliation because Of her cred
ulous faith in suburban cabinet maker.
An heirloom, on the husbands side, was
an old fashioned mahogany desk Of
more curious than artistic make. Tt was
useless as desk and not pretty as a
piece of old bric-a-brac, so when an idea
for it's evolution came to her she was
doubly pleased. She consulted the su-
burban cabinet maker, who pronounced
her plan entirely feasible and announced
himself willing to carry it out before
she preached it to her husband.
"Make buffet, or serving sideboard,
out of my eat-grandfather' desk !"
repeated he, when it was preached. est
can't be done, my dear, and I hate to
have it touched too.
"But you don't like it" now coaxed
the wife, land the cabinet maker says
it will be very easy to do over. 1t will
be the desk, slightly enlarged, that is
all. The lovely doors will be set under
the shelf as panels, and those graceful
columns will stand out in added beauty
as front supports. He will have to add
a little wood and introduce a mirror,
but all the choice mahogany of the desk
will be preserved and show much more
effectively"
In the end he was persuaded, and the
desk was taken away. Some weeks
passed, during which the wife made
several visits of inspection to the cabinet
shop, seeing parts of the work and &C.
quiescing to various suggestions and adj
ditions to the original plan.
The evolved buffet was finally deliv-
cred one evening not long ago. It's own
father would never have known it.
There were six feet of sideboard against
the former two of desk, and the original
doors and columns were there, but that
was all Of the first piece Of furniture,
which had been built on and added to
till it stretched half way across the din
ing room.
The wife turned pale, the husband
groaned. ''What have you done?" cried
one.
"My lost great-grandfather's desk!"
exclaimed the other.
The cabinet maker withdrew, after
laying folded paper upon the table.
The husband rallied first and opened it.

he usually takes-three gra1ns-fhat
with dash of the bottle he can throw
the exact quantity into the palm Of his
hand. The druggist with whom he
usually deals has verified the weight Of
the dose thus prepared many times and
invariably finds it correct to fraction
of grain.
The drug store is favorite place for
leaving bundles, valises, etc. Many Of
the packages left are never called for.
A lady left bundle in an Olive street
establishment year ago that contained
two dozen suits Of underwear and has
never returned for them. At the same
drug store we'll dressed man left his
valise, containing clothing, papers,
shaving set and many miscellaneous ar
tic1es, and never came back. The stran-
gest case of the kind was man who left
his wife at down town store about
utes At 10 o'clock, closing time, he
had not returned, so the druggist sat
down to wait for him, not caring to
turn the lady out on the street. At 10 :15
a. m. he dropped in, much the worse for
wear, and then there was scene that
repaid the druggist for his long, vigil.
People who get hurt on the streets in
any manner always so to the drug stores
to be patched up. They claim treatment
of this kind apparently as right and
part Of the duty of the druggist to the
public, and in nine cases out Of ten do
not even express their thanks for the
service rendered them.
Physicians prescriptions would often
tell the sick person something they did
not know if they could understand them.
Chalk and distilled water for nervous
ness, sugar pills for headaches and pink
water for dyspepsia are frequent pre-
scriptions.
There is an old gentleman who pa
tronizes a South St. Louis drug store
who thinks he is aconfrmed morphine
fiend. He began the use of morphia for
insomnia. The first prescription called
for chalk, but it put him to sleep, and
he has had it refilled every day since.
He sleeps like a babe at night, except
when he misses his usual dose, and then
he walks the floor until he gets it.-St.
Louis Post Dispatch.
Frenchmen Believe In Woman's Ability.
Frenchmen are great believers in
women's work, and splendid tribute
to the educational value of women has
just been paid by LIE Temps, which
strongly advocates their appointment to
all state schools for boys up to the age
Of IL years. The military laws of the
country cause, it seems, an annual dim
mutton in the number Of male school
masters, and there seems some danger
Of the supply ultimately falling far
short of the demand. LIE Temps sug-
gests this possibility should be antici
pated by appointing schoolmistresses, SO
that young France seems more than
likely to be trained by the gentler sex.
Woman, says this influential organ, is
a far better educator than man, and
boys trained by her up to an age when
firm discipline is required are certain to
have the foundation of stronger and
nobler characters laid than when placed
from early childhood in the hands Of
men. This is indeed a tribute to the
gentler sex.
