MY FIDDLE.

Ny fiddle? Well, / kind o. keep her
handy, don't you know?
Though l aint so much inclined to tromp
the strings and switch the bow
As was before the timber of my elbows
got so dry,
And my fingers was more limber-like and
oaperish and spry
Yet can plonk and plunk and pink,
And tune her up and play,
And Jest lean back and laugh and wink
At every rainy day.
My playin's only middlin'-tunes picked
up when a boy
The kind o. sort o. flddlin' that the folks
call cordaroy:
"The Old Fat Gal' and "Ryestraw" and
MY, Sailors on the Sea-"
Is the cowtillions that ! saw when tha
60 ch'ice ts left to me.
And so plunk and plonk and pink,
And rosum up my bow,
And play the tunes that make you think
The devils in your toe!
That's how this here old fddle's won my
j hearts indurin love!
From the strings across her middle to the
screechln' keys above
From her apern, over bridge, and to the
ribbon round her throat.
She's wooin', cooin' pigeon, singin'
Love me" every note!
And so pat her neck, and pink
Her strings with lovin' hands,
And listnin' clost, / sometimes think
She kind O. understands!

used as the motto of "all the year." is
the passage, "The story of my life
from year to year." from Othello, which
the editors have made to read, THE
story of our lives from year to year"
The expression ''heart of hearts, is
known to every one and has the sane
ton of several of our best prose and
poetical writer's. All attribute it to
Shakespeare, but the words used by the
bard are "heart of heart" They are
put I'm the mouth of Hamlet in his
speech to Horatio, "Give me that man
who is not passions slave" and are full
of a meaning that is quite obliterated
by the stupid change in phraseology.
The common version of Lady Mac
beth's advice is "Screw up your cour-
age to the sticking point" whereas she
said Screw up your courage to the
sticking place" "We are such stuff as
dreams are made on" is usually rem
dered I'VE are such stuff as dreams are
made Of" quite different meaning,
while Leave not rack behind" the
close of the speech of Prospero to Fer
dinand in the fourth act of the Tempest,
Is commonly rendered, Leave not q
wreck behind" misquotation SO gen.
eral that 1t is used on the monument
to Shakespeare in Westminster Abbey.
1t Is worth remembering in this con-
nection that the general familiarity
with Shakespeare is 50 great that
speakers and writer's often vary his
words to their own purpose without for
moment considering that they are
taking liberty, and, indeed, the actors
and critics do as much, for "Off with
his head. so much for Buckingham"
and Richards himself again." are not
found in the best editions, and are now
known to be interpretations by Colley
Cibber, who introduced these and other
similar expressions for the benefit Of
the leading actor, in this case himself.

ILLILEO,

Illileo! The moonlight seemed lost across
the wales;
The stars bestrewed the azure like an ar
mor's scattered scales;
The airs of night were quiet as the breath
of silken sails,
And all your words were sweeter than
the notes of nightingales.
Illileo Legardi! in the garden there alone,
With your figure carved of fervor as, the
Psyche carved of stone.
There came to me no murmur OF the foun-
tain's undertone
So mystically, muslcally mellow as your
B own. ....
You whispered low, 1llileo-so low the
leaves were mute,
And the echoes faltered breathless in your
voices vain pursuit,
And there died the distant dalliance Of the
serenader's lutte, .s
And held you in my bosom as the husk
may hold the fruit.
Illileo. listened: believe you! In my
bliss,
What were all the worlds above me, since
/ found you thus in this?
Let them, reeling, reach to win me-even
heaven / would miss s
Grasping earthward--I would cling here
though clung by just kiss!
And / said the stars should slacken In
their PAGES through the past;
That blossoms should grow odorless, and
lilies all aghast, - .';,
Ere yet my loyalty should fail enduring to
the last
So vowed /: 1t is written: 1t is change
less as the past
Ilhleo Legardi! in the shade your palace
throws
Like the cowl about the singer at your
gilded porticOes
A moan goes with the music that may vex
the high repose
OF q heart that fades and crumbles as the
crimson of a rose. r..r-.

The Household Pet.

There Is Joy in all the household when the
tootsy- -wootsy youth .--.-.
Becomes the pink possessor of a white
initial tooth; t
And his spine 1t seems to stiffen and to
lengthen many yards
When he first dons knickerbockers and
his girlish skirts discards;
But all his life's limitations seem most
dreary duh and fiat
When sized up with the pride he takes
In his

ANCIENT WARFARE.

EXCHANGE Of prisoners was prscticr6
In very early times by both the Greels
and the Romans.
WHEN the lighting bishop of Nor
wich," in 1883, stormed the town of
Gravelines, he masacred tho entire
population
Ar the siege Of jerusalem by Titus
the captive Jews were crucified by the
Romans In such numbers that, As
Josephus says, there was no longer
wood of which to make the crosses nor
space for them to star6.
DURING the middle ages reprisals
were common. The vengeance taken
for . brave defense Of a town OK castle
was generally the hanging of the most
prominent officers anG men among the
defenders.
WHEN Richard l., with tho other
crusaders, took Messina, all the noble
and good-iooking women of the town
were carried of. Some were after
wards ransomed, while the greater part
were held rs slaves by their captors.
WHEN Emperor Henry in 1l94 cap
tured Salerno he ordered the wives and
daughters Of the leading citizens to be
put up at auction and sold. and all
these unhappy ladies were thus dis
posed Of to q brutal sOldiery.

BROWNIES AND DRAGONS.

che Queer JAttle Folk Have Appeared
Cpoa the stage.
In Philadelphia, not long ago. the
quaint little brownies. that all boys
and girls have delighted in for many
day, made their bow to an audience
In q theater. Palmer Cox. who invent
ed them. has written . play to show
them OF. 1t is . very pretty fairy story,
In which the brownies and fays. who
are the good fairies. have . great many
thrilling adventures with the little
dragons. who are the bad fairies. All
our favorite brownies-the dude, the
Chinaman, the Dutchman. the police
man and all the rest-are In the play,
and, rs usual, the dear little brown peo-
ME, after some severe trials indeed,
come out winners In the good scheme
In which they are engaged Mr.. COX,
the father Of these queer little ellis, got
his ideas of them from the letters OF
the alphabet. Somebody sent him
piece of poetry on the alphabet IN
which the letters were made into pic
lures Of real persons Although these
n;ctures were not at all like the brown
ies, In looking At them 1t occurred to
Mr.. Cox-who is Q slsillful artist. or he
would not have had the idea-that the
alphabet letters were queer, anyway.
and Il would not be hard to make them
into people, That was the beginning
81 the brownies. which have grown
into such IN army Of funny folk that
even Mr.. Cox himself can't keep track
of them al. He il very fond of these
children of his brain, and they have
become 90 real to him that he Is never
quite sure that there aren't odd little
round-eyed fellows, with fat. short
bodies and spindle legs tumblinR about

trated far, and where the red man still
reigns supreme. 1t is bounded on the
north by the Lizard and Mackenzie riv-
ers, on the east by the Slave river, on
the south by the Peace river. and on
the west by the Rocky mountains. Mr..
Warburton Pike says It Is now the
greatest beaver country in the world,
and that it also contains few bands
Of the so-called wood buffalo. ''Some-
times they are heard of at Forts Smith
and Vermillion. sometimes at Fort st.
John. on the Peace river, and occasion
ally ut Fort Nelson, on the Lizard;
but it is impossible to say any
thing about their numbers" At all
events, in February. 1900, Mr.. Pike
found eight buffaloes only four days
travel from Fort Resolution. on Great
Slave lake, and succeeded in killing
one. The Canadian authorities estimate
the total number in that region at three

It has long been known that insects
assist plants by carrying the fertilizinR
pollen from flower to flower. but the fact
has only recently been prominently
brought forward that humming birds
are Just rs effective distributors Of pol
len as insects are. 1t has been shown
that these little birds, which arc rs
fond rs bees of the honey Of flowers,
carry the pollen gr:.ins in great quaa-
tity. not only on their feathers but on
their long bills also. Indeed, 50 well
suited is the humming bird to do this
work OF distribution, without any in
tention Of its own, that the question
has been raised whether It may not be
the most beneficcnt of all the uncon-
scioua friends that the flowers have In
the animal world.
