A Funeral Dress.

~ have learned that there Is something
new under the sun, after all, said the
wife of representative in congress. 1T
Is what the owner calls funeral dress.
The novelty is got the dress itself, but
what composes 1t. Apparently it is an
ordinary black silk dress. 1t Is made up
of funeral sashes such as are furnished
pallbearers at congressional funerals and
consists of sashes that were worn by prom
inent men at the funerals of Vice Presi-
dent Wilson and Senators Sumner, Car
penter and Logan. The lady who owns it
keeps our boarding house, and she got the
sashes from those who wore them after the
funerals. A great portion of the dress
consists Of silk that once was used in the
gown of justice of the United States su-
preme court, The purple velvet collar was
given by the wife of a diplomat, and the
lace by the widow of senator who has
died In the past six years. The lady who
owns 1t attends many funerals and always
wears the dress on such occasions. -

"Sh-sh!" whispered Harriet; ego
and ring the bell, and have some tea
brought here; and get some cordial or
something from upstairs. And then
we'll let her go to sleep"
They looked for the little bag in
vain. 81 remember she held on to
it, when l took her umbrella" said
Tom. "She must have dropped it in
the street without my noticing it,"
"Tom, DEAR" said Harriet, as they
went into the dining-room for dinner,
leaving the "poor old soul " fast asleep
in the library" Tom, l think you'd
better send around to the other houses
in the place and inquire if they are ex-
pecting an old lady. You see it's only
a block; and it might save her friends
great anxiety"
"But who is there on this block that
could possibly be expecting herP" Tom
asked, doubtfully.
However, he admitted that there
could be no harm done, and finally said
he would step around himself. But he
came back within half an hour without
having learned anything about San old
lady-looking for some number on Park
Place." Nobody was expecting her."
"She must have meant Park Avenue"
they decided; "we will try to find out
tomorrow; don't disturb her now"
And 80, with cushions carefully ar
ranged to shut off all draft, they left
her on the wide window couch for the
night. The next day they had doc
tor call in and trained nurse from the
hospital The old lady was very i'll,
and talked feverishly.
"Mrs. Cleveland was there; but l
didn't have chance to shake hands.
They made us hurry by 30 fast. But
she looks like Cynthy. Yes, Cynthy
wouldn't have been mite too good for
her. l think l dropped my bag
dropped it-yes, there it is; and I'm
too tired to pick it upl "
Suddenly Harriet, listening, turned
and ran downstairs to the library, from
which they had carried the old woman
that morning up to the guest.room,"
which Grace Maynard had just left. :"
wonder if she could have dropped il
here!" was the thought that had come
to her.
She looked about, near the chair
where she had found the old woman on
the previous afternoon; and there
surely enough-there was the little
black bag She hestated for a mo-
ment, then decided to open it.
Then she flew upstairs to the dress
ing-room, where Tom was polishing hi
boots.
"Oh, Toni" she cried, half laughing
but with q Choke in her voice.

Every Man His Own Telescope,

There Is race of men who can SEQ as

can with telescope. Every man his

propriety to these fortunate persons
They live in wild state in the south Of

cording to Mr.. Herbert Spencer, through
necessity. If it were not for this, they
must have long ago become extinct. They
are remarkably small in stature for wild
men, and they offer an easy prey for the
large, fierce beasts that infest certain parts
of southern A frica. And on account of
their diminutive size they are not able to
fight on equal terms with their warlike
and larger proportional neighbors. Tray.
elers in the region of the long sighted
bushmen have reported some truly re-
markable feats with the eyes. One day
while a European was walking in com
pany with friendly bushman the latter
suddenly stopped, and, pointing ahead in
some alarm, exclaimed:
"A lionl'
The white man stared until his eyes
ached, but he could make out nothing.
Thinking thHt the native must have made
a mistake, he insisted on going forward,
though his companion urged him to re-
treat. When they had advanced little
farther, the Bushman again came to
halt and absolutely refused to go on an
other step, for, us he explained, he could
distinguish not only lion, but also
number of cubs. 1t would be dangerous,
he said, to tamper with lioness while
nursing her little ones.
The European, however, still unable to
see lion, much less the cubs, pushed on
boldly. When he had advanced quarter
of a mile he saw an object moving slowly
along in the distance at the point to which
the buShman had directed his gaze. Still
doubling that human being could pos
sess such marvellous power of vision, LIE

guished the form of u lioness making lei

The limit of mans power of vision is
established by necessity. If our existence
depended on our ability to see twice Us far
as we do, this additional power would be
acquired by practice. Deerslayer of g Leath-
er Stocking" fane surprised every one by
his long sightedness. Probably he could
see farther than these bushmen, but he
was a fiction character. All woodsmen,
and, as general rule, all persons living
an outdoor life, give their eyes practice at
long range, which ultimately makes their
accuracy of sight seem wonderful to a man
who never uses his eyes except to read.

The Old-FashiOned Laundress,

How dear to my sight the shirts of my past days,
That never went through any steam laundry fast
ways
But hung bleaching and drying in purely fresh air.
The edges unfrayed as they danced in the daylight
The buttonhoes fractureless, free from all rent
The tubs with the bubbles presenting a gay sight,
And cen the stout laundress that over them bent
The oldfashioned laundress the home ping laun-
dress,
The singing old laundress that over them bent
That old-fashoned laundress was surely treasure,
John Chnaman then was In distaHtlCatha
And dragging machines used shirts at their pleas
ure,
And chemicals then ate no linen away.
How deftly she turned them and rubbed them and
scrubbed them,
And put them in boilers with honest intent.
And when with her strong she gently had
wrung them
We knew that the shirts needed no foreign scent
The oldfashioned laundress the home keeping laun-
dress,
The singing old laundress that over them bent.
Then shirts took year and day in their wear
ing,
The bosoms neer cracked like stiff brittle board.
And we put them safe without fear of a tearing,
And sung forth her praises in lofty accord.
She ne'er disappointed In wilderness or luster,
Nor caused us in cuss" words our feelings to
And gave her the best words our brain pan could
muster,
And said that from paradise sure she was sent
The old-fashoned laundress, the home keeping laun-
dress.
The singing old laundress that over them bent.

SELECTED STORY.
The Tide OF June,

'Tis June In the year, and the roses
Abundant and fragrant unfold,
And thlckly the broad verdant meadows
Are spangled with yellowest gold
The white daisies nod to the breezes,
The clover makes love to the bees,
And the gay feathered tribes from the Southland
Sport like fairies among the green trees.
In the air there's full tide of gladness,
So fresh and 80 free and so strong
That it bears willing spirits exultant
With the surge of its triumph along.
All the world seems one glad halelujah
Like a chorus OF rapture to move,
One grand swelling organ-peal heavenward,
jubilee anthem of love.
The tide flows the fullest at dawning
When the world first awakes TO its bliss,
When Earth lifts her smiling face upward,
And bushes to Mornings first kiss
AT noon and at night no retreating-
just hush in the suns ardent glow;
For the strong tide of June hath no ebbing,
To the fullness Of life doth 1t flow.
But the June in my heart rises higher
AS I drink in with eager delight
The exhilarant wine of the season,
And the nectar of roses bedight;
And my spirit mounts up like the songlark,
At morning. at noon, and at even,
with its burden of praise and Thanksgiving,
To sing at the goldgate of heaven.
