Gen. A. j. Pleasanton, of Philadel-
phia left one of the largest private
libraries In that city, numbering
about $4,000 volumes. Gen. Pleasan-
ton was widely known as lover Of
books, and had many rare editions.
Among his books were fine collections
relating to Napoleon and to Shakes
peare.
lit Is said that the late Hans Won
Bulow left directions that post-mor-
tenn examination of his brain should be
made TO ascertain the cause of the ex-
cruciating headache from which he
was lifelong sufferer. The autopsy
revealed the fact that the end of the
nerves had become imbedded in n scar
of an injury to the brain, which he had
received in childhood.
Peter the Great of Russia had the

Mr.. Gladstone is believer in the
theory that man can do better mental
work every day to extreme old age If
he takes care of his body. He claims
that the mind grows stronger and
clearer as the body loses vitality, and
that II is only disease of the latter that
can prevent an intellectual progress
that will go on to the end. He Is Ger.
tainly n good illustration OF his work
ing theory.
Col. Will II. Vischer, the humorist,
enjoys his reputation for homeliness.
Speaking of his yearnings for comeli-
ness, the humorist said "lyhen
married and had little daughter, |
had some one who really admired me.
To her | was an Apollo. One day Bill
Nye was in my office with me, and my
little girl came in and began making
love to me, as was her way, calling
me all sorts of sweet names. Nice
papa said she; pretty papa Nyo
turned around and said in his peculiar
drawl; 'Vischer, are you trying to
make u humorist out of that childY'"
1t was during the Commonwealth
that John Playford printed "Ayres
and Dialogues" book that comprises
with many pleasant pieces the first
three that ever were defined by the
word glee, a term that later times
have wontedly acknowledged and
boasted as the designation of class OF
music specially English. 1t was dur
ing the Commonwealth that the same
publisher issued several editions of
"The Dancing Master" each being a
variation of the foregoing; and this is
the work to which we owe the preser-
vation of all the beautiful English
ballad tunes of earlier date that are,
many Of them, not to be found in previ-
GUS print or manuscript 1t was in
that very opera, "The Siege of
Rhodes" that Mrs Colman, daughter
in-law of one of the composers, sus-
tained the character of Ianthe, she be-
ing the first woman who ever took
part in public musical or dramatic
performance in England.

Next day she went about her work
very quietly, and stole away in the

If you want to gI to the poorhouse,

Is such trial that men say Let the
house take care Of ITSELF But the
conscientious wife feels bound to risk
health and strength in this annual
struggle with dust and dirt The con-
sequence of her feverish anxiety over
extra work is depletion of the blood,
the source of all life and strength,

condition too prevalent at this season
and very dangerous II allowed to con-

Jack-That's one of the new notions
this season. 1t is novel form of birth

flowers must have meaning. Study

kitchen inside, and he thought the
front room was being papered, but he
could not quite tell.
Meanwhile Vina was homesicl, and
though she went into the end room
and looked out on the meadow that
sight beyond the woods, it only made
the tears come faster, and she won
dered II she couldn't have stood the
leaks and the pealing paint little
longer, and then, perhaps, she might
have coaxed John.
John was homesick too, and hurried
the carpenters and painters till they
made jokes among themselves about his
impntience. The home was not home
with Vina gone, and he thought per-
haps she might get so used to living in
big house that she would never again
care for the little house she had called
home so long.
With fear and trembling lie harncssed
the horse, put on his best suit of
clothes and started for the poorhouse.
"She's awful sot, an eff she's TUX no.
tion she's a going ter live in that big
poorhouse, nothin'n fetch er back.
Mebbe If / told her I'd build a house
next year, she'd come" So he tried to
go over all the arguments he would
use with the woman who was more
ready to return than he could possibly
be to have her.
She sal on the back porch knitting,
when Mrs. Grove called her to answer
the doorbell, for her hands were in the
bread, John Weeks argument fed,
for Malvina threw her arms around his
neck and sobbed
i've been so lonesome, oh, Johnl"
And he patted her shoulder and said:
"So've l, Why, so've l."
Then when she could think she said,
with curious expression on her face:
Have you come to stay?"
mo. say Why, I'm willin'--rll do
anything-Ill build house II you'll
only come back to live Miss Smith
can't make bread fit to chew!"
Happy woman that went riding down
the valley by Johns side, and told him
of her stay in the poorhouse. Happy
John when they came out beyond the
the woods, and the cottage with its
new paint and bright blinds looked at
them, for then Why put her head down
on his shoulder, and cried that she
would never go away again, and that
1T was all wrong for her to go when she
did
And he said very gruffiy; 1T was all
right, and she could go again whenever
she wanted to, If she'd only come back
when he come after her"
She docs not look longingly ut the
big poorhouse now, and John never
mentions it. Malvina has had the sew
ing circle meet in the parlor, and she
took them all over the house, and
showed them the new paint and paper,
TIL some one declared: John Weeks
couldn't be called stingy about the
house, anyway"
Vina repeated it to him, with this ad-
dition: Il do like to have folks think

a BURIED CITY.

One time q little town aid lie
Within hollow fair and green;
And flowing 70 the open sky,
A little river ran between.
One-half that little town lay spread
AS II asleep below the hill;
And on the brow, more quiet still,
The other halt were lying dead
And there one time little boy
Was wont TO steal away from school;
For much his rebel heart had Joy
To break the masters Iron rule;
He knew the reeiy rivers brim;
And when he wandered up and down,
The green old hill from base to crown
Was friend and fellow unto him.
Oh, many years since then have fiowni
The hill was cleared by ruthless hands;
The little boy a man hath grown
Where lay the town city stands.
Yet when that city seems TO frown.
Outlines the little boy" doth sigh
For all the rehel years that lie
Deep buried with the llitlc town.

There was little fun among the speedy
ones on. Portland street Saturday after
noon, but precious litrle speed in conse-
quence of the slushy nature of the street.
Saturday evening there arrived in this
city a distinguished stranger in the
form of full blooded imported English
hackney, splendid stallion. weighing
upwards OF 1900 pounds. This imported
fellow is a dark bay, and can show a
three-minute clip. This superb horse
is in charge of Mr.. Foss, gentleman of
much intelligence in horse lore, and
very gentlemanly in imparting his
knowledge. This great imported Eng

seen at Mr.. Murray's stable on Federal

Another big sale of horsses by auction
next Friday is arranged by Mr.. Murray,
whose advertisement appears in another
