TWO GENTLEMEN.

One gentleman was little and the
other one was large. The large one
was very tall and very straight. He
wore a suit of fine broadcloth, and in
his polished linen shirt-front a great
diamond sparkled like a star. His
boots were of patent leather, and SO
bright that you could almost see your
face in them. He had on new brown
kid gloves, and carried an elegant silk
umbrella with a silver handle, on
which was engraved his monogram.
The little one was very short and
very crooked, with a hump on one
shoulder and limp in his gait His
clothes were threadbare; his cap was
ragged; his shoes had holes in them;
his little hands were bare and red with
cold. He held a clumsy newspaper
bundle in his arms.
The two stood side by side upon the
curbstone of a crowded street waiting
for chance to cross. The little one
looked up at the large one with ad-
miration. What a fine gentleman"
he thought. Suddenly a poorly clad
old woman carrying a great basket
of clothes came from the opposite di-
rection. AS she neared the sidewalk
she lodged suddenly to avoid a cart
that was passing, and stumbled
against the tall gentleman, her basket
of clothes knocking out of his grasp
the umbrella with the monogram on
on the silver handle. With an angry
glance and muttered oath he gave
her rough shove to one side while he
stopped to recover the umbrella.
The little one had seen it all. He
threw down his newspaper bundle,
while with one hand he caught the
old woman and with the other kept
her basket from being overturned in
the gutter. You're a gentleman
that you are!'; she said, fervently, put
ting one of her hands with tenderness
on ''le tIretdbare coat which covered
the poor mishapen back.
but the tall one did not hear her
He lad crossed the street. And the
little one was surprised.

WHERE THINGS ARE SOLID.

Irkutsk is city of Central Siberia
where people have more occasion for
fire and furs than for artificial ice
cream or thin clothing.
The markets of Irkutsk are an in
teresting sight in the winter time, for
everything on sale is frozen solid
Fish are piled up in stacks like so
much cord wood, and meat likewise.
All kinds of fowl are similarly frozen
and piled up.
Some animals are brought into the
market whole and propped up on their
legs and have the appearance of being
actually alive. and as you go through
the markets you seem to be surround
ed by living pigs, sheep, oxen and
fowls standing up and watching you
as though you were visitor to the
barnyard.
But, stranger still, even the liquids
are frozen solid and sold in blocks
Milk is frozen into a block in this way,
with string or stick frozen into or
projecting from it. This is for the
convenience of the purchaser, who
can take his milk by the string or
stick and carry it home, swung across
the shoulder.
So in a double sense, such as is I'M
known i'm other countries, a man can
buy his drink-''with stick in it,"

ORIGIN OF SPRING CLEANING.

Housewives who make point of rem
ovating their homes at this season of
the year may be interested to Know
the origin of the custom. According
to good authority the Hebrew women
led the way by the freshening up of
every article about their house to pre-
pare for Passover. At any rate, in
the absence of any records to SHOW
that northern nations clean up their
houses of all the past years food be-
fore the 1st of May, when they cele-
brated an ancient pagan survival in
the dances around the Maypole-if
even they swept out all old rushes,
then, from the floors-it is worthy of
notice that the Mosaic injunction
about the removal of everything that
would faint the house has taken
strong root among the Gentiles of
America. The birds are no more anX-
ious about the building of their nests
than are housekeeping women, from
this time forward, about thorough
securing out the pans and kettles,
closets and attics cellars and store
rooms.

WOR TIL THINKING ABOUT.

In many of the large apartment
houses of New York the clothes are
hung ON the roof to dry, and as the
roof in the majority of cases is not
large enough to accommodate the COM
bined washing of all the apartments,
each family has different wash-day
assigned to it. On Wednesday, for
instance, the entire wash belonging tie
four families may be hung on the roof,
on Thursday giving place to the wash
of four other families, and so on
This often leads to mistakes, and
complaints of losses are not infre-
quently heard. Recently a young
married lady who occupied an apart
ment on the west side of the town ell
gagged new servant, and directed her
to exercise extreme care in hanging
out the clothes, and be sure that they
were not taken away by any other
girl. After the clothes came back she
went out to the kitchen, and was hor.
rified to find that that the clothes
were not hers, but belonged to some
one else.
ooh, Bridget she exclaimed,
these are not our clothes! Why
holding up several of the garments
in turn-''they don't even fitn'
''Shure, marm," replied Bridget,
triumphantly, they may not fit, but
will you consider the suparior quality

FLINTS.

Probably few people are aware that
there still exists in England manu-
factory of gun and Undertook fiints,
yet such is the case. The same meth
DDS are employed in the mining and
fashioning of flints as in the stone age,
with little alteration. In order to
break flint into pieces of convenient
size, the worker places the mass on
his knee, and by dexterous blow
with a halnmar, shlvers it into frag
ments as easily as if it were chocolate.
The pieces are then split into flakes,
and these, in turn, are fractured into
little squares which, with very slight
trimming, become finished gun-flints.
Most of the gun-fiints are exported to
Zanzibar and other ports in communi-
cation with the interior of Africa; but
besides these, large quantities of fints
for finder boxes are still made at Bran
don. finder box flints CHIEFLY go to
Spain and Italy for use in isolated
districts

IN LILAC TINE

MARY TENNEY.
In lilac time the moons are still:
At night we hear the whippoorwill;
The gardens full of mignOnette-
l wonder how could forget
What this time neans Remembrance pain
Transports me to the fields again,
In lilac time.
To fragrant fields, where, after school
played long in the evening cool
Until l heard my mother call
When shall hear the cadence fall?
When feel those dear arms sheltering me,
To which ran SO fast and free,
In lilac time?
In lilac time. We little know
As we are going to and fro,
With purple blossoms in our hands,
That some spring day in foreign lands
Their scent will make our old hearts young
Swifter than any song that's sung
In lilac time.
