THE GARDEN.

Clicked with i'll weeds my garden lay a-dying.
Hard was the ground; no bud had heart TO
blow,
Yet shone your smile there, with your soft
breath signing,
"Have patience, for some day the flowers
will grow"
Some weeds you killed; you made plot and
titled it.
"My plot" you said, erich harvest yet shall

With sun warmed seeds OF hope your dear

With rain soft tears of pity babe them live

From the Times, Philadelphia, Pa.
Stricken with Landry's Paralysis

to the average layman, but it means a
miracle to a physician. Such is the
experience of O. E. baltimore now a

What Some Wives Have to Bear.

A stout, pleasant faced woman got in
to Harrow train at Baker Street sta
ton, followed by man with gray hair
and close cropped mustache and dys-
peptic expression.
They sat on the sunny side Of the car
riage. The man relapsed into gloomy
silence. The woman looked around the
carriage and tried to be cheerful. "Cold,
isn't it?" she observed.
"What?" growled the man.
"Rather cold"
"WhereT"
"Here."
"Well, suppose you can stand it."
The woman took the mans sourness as
if she was used to it. After a bit she said,
what pretty fowersy'
"What?' growled the man.

"At the house we passed"
"Well, what of it?'
Five minutes later she said, "Isn't that

boy on the opposite side of the carriage.

by the man who has been SO big a factor
in this nations government ever since
1884.
Nowadays Mr.. Cleveland fishes for
the speckled beauties with fly only,
and the handsome specimen that was
taken from the water the other day by
the chief executive was caught with the
most modern of tackles Time was, how
ever, when Grover was country boy,
that, like all the rest Of us, he did his
trout fishing with worm for bait. Per-
haps he used an ordinary ''fish line"
and a pole cut in the woods, and maybe
he spit on the worm after it's implement
in order to increase it's attractiveness to
the hoped for victim. Possibly his line
was horsehair, skillfully twisted with
two quilts, and he may have used ami
seed oil to attract the fish, but which
ever method he used there is little doubt
that he enjoyed trout fishing as heartily
in the days when he made use Of the
humble worm as now, when he is an ex-
pert fly caster.
1t may not be so, but it must seem to
gage in public affairs are more general
ly devoted to angling than are those of
any other class. Certainly larger pro-
portion of those whose names are often
seen in print than Of the ordinary run
of men make fishing regular amuse-
ment, so to speak, though this may not
be because public men and men of af
fairs are Of necessity anglers. 1t is more
likely due to the fact that men who have
won enough prominence to be often men
toned in type must have also reached
degree Of financial independence that
makes it possible to spend the time
which you will remember is money-for
fishing. At any rate, prominent men
like to fish and do fish, and we are all
privileged to read of the fun they have,
whether we ourselves can afford to fish
or not.
United States Senator and ex-Secre-
tary Redfeld Proctor of Vermont is one
of the most devoted fishermen in the
country, and at the very moment you are
reading this he is probably fly casting for
trout in noted little pond on the top of
Pico, one of the Green mountains, away
back from everywhere and accessible
only by difficult 10 mile drive over
hilly roads from Rutland. The senator
has recently purchased this pond and
erected on it's border small clubhouse,
and very latest fishing news included an
item that Senator Proctor proposed short
~ to take his brother senators, Platt and
Aldrich, to his private fishing grounds,
where all three would undoubtedly en-
JOY much royal sport for few days.
Senator Proctor has two smaller ponds,
back of the clubhouse, from which he
occasionally stocks up the main pond,
and those who have been favored with
invitations from the senatorial owner in
years past tell most entertaining tales
of the eagerness of the fish in these ponds
to be caught. A take of 600 by three
men in five hours is one of the mildest
of these stories. Vermont is regular
paradise for trout fishermen. The
streams of the Green mountain region
fairly swarm with the beautiful fish.
New Hampshire also is fine state for
the trout fisherman, and the authorities
of that commonwealth have been and
are doing all in their power to keep up
its present reputation, for they realize
that the presence of many fishermen

How Flies Walk on Window Panes

The microscope reveals the neat con-
trivance which enables a fly to walk up
a window pane or defy the laws of
gravity by gliding along, back down
ward, on the ceiling. The magnifer
shows the foot to be made up of two
pads covered with fine, short hair, each
pad having a hook above it. Behind
each pad is bag filled with a sticky
liquid which oozes out whenever the fly
puts his foot down. The amount which
is pressed out of each foot is very small
indeed, but taken all together it is am
ply sufficient to hold the insect in any
position he chooses. st. Louis Repub,

Lablache'S Voice.

Lablache had the most magnificent
bass voice ever known to the lyric stage.
1t had compass of two octaves, from
E flat below to E fat above the bass staff.
He was man of prodigious size and
strength, and his voice was proportioned
to his physical dimensions. Nothing
was able to overcome or drown it, and
through the tones of the largest chorus
it doomed out as Justify as though alone.
More than once he broke window pane

mack; tenors-Frank Coffin, G. H. Phil

Campbell, J. NJ. Robinson, S. Homer
Henley. These singers were quite strong
enough to make themselves heard above
the chorus in The Heavens Are Telling"
and they sang with remarkable unanimity,
as we'll as with a fine volume of sound.
In the chorus from "Ernani, - Crowned
With the Tempest" sung by the San
Francisco and Oakland Oratorio societies,
S. Homer Henley, who possesses q basso-
cantante voice, was the soloist.
The Harmony Choral Union in the glee

some shading, thing which the COM

through the two concerts. The result
made one wish that the choral union could
have sung "Now Tramp IN a smaller
building. Its work was artistic and de-
served a better fate than to have the piano
passages lost in the trackless wastes of the
Mechanics Pavilion. Miss Madge Thorn
ton was the soloist in the glee, and her
voice carried well.
Miss Elizabeth Bell. sang the "JeweP'
song from Gounod's Faust" as her solo
last night. This young lady might easily
prove to be very charming vocalist I'M
der more favorable conditions. Her voice
does not seem,t 70 be very extended in com
pass, but it is pleasant in quality and her
rendition is easy. She in no sense
possesses a phenomenal voice, however,
and she was too heavily hampered by the
size of the building to appear to advan-
rage. If Miss Bell had come to San Fran
cisco less heralded she would have been
better able to live up to her reputation,
but the public had been led to expect more
from her than the young lady was able to
give them.
Ugo Talbo's voice made itself heard in
the pavilion, though toward the end of his
aria from Memberships "Hymn of
Praise" he sang little out of tune in a
laudable effort to give the public good
ear-ringing sound, which would sound less
far-away than singing generally does in
that structure. Mr.. Talbo secured an en-
core, but he declined to grant it. His
decision was q wise one, for the programme
was long and the waits were interminable
The members OF the Loring Club and
the Orpheus Club of Oakland distinguished
themselves by some good singing. as they
had done on the previous night. The
combined choruses produced a fine sound
in "By Babylon's Wave" and Costa s

numbers from the previous night was re-
peated, to wit: Miss Daisy Cohn and E. f.

The. lady managers of the Children's

closing concert on Saturday afternoon
next in Metropolitan Temple. The best
features of the choruses will be repeated
