Of the women and the man found seats

doubtful as to whethes they were MEN,

Flowers That Cheered Not.

His 'man' is not we'll trained ex-
ample Of British imperturbability, but
a boy from the southern plantation
where he himself was born and bred.
Consequently there are frequent inter-
changes of confidence between master
and servant, and the former has the ad-
vantage of the latter's unbiased judy
ment and undirected action on many
subjects. The other day the employee
was ordered to purchase and carry flow
ers to certain lady who was i'll. In the
course of few days came her thanks
for "the bunch of immortelles so
thoughtfully if not cheeringly sent, -
whereupon the nominal sender of the
funeral offering summoned his agent,
and, with choice invective, demanded
to know why immortelles had been
taken to sick woman.
"Well, Marse Sewell,'' explained the
purchaser of the posy, "you say git
anything thet's purity. Desc year wah
purity, en- de man say dey last fur evan,
en- Gale lated dat deys cheap enuf So s
I can pay de laundry wifi de change
I'm shuh I thought I wuz actin fun de

disadvantages of having a servant with
views of his own.-New York Journal

What Makes q Cat Tread Softly?

''Grandpa, what makes a cat tread
softly?'' asked little Findout of his aged
relative as the pair sat down to improve
their minds when the evening lamps
were lighted.
1T is a faculty provided by nature,
my son, which enables the cat to walk
softly,'' replied the old man as he laid
down his paper and bsamed on the
youthful seeker after knowledge. "All
members of the cat tribe are endowed
with a noiseless tread, which greatly
facilitates their capturing their prey.
You have doubtless noticed that the
pedal extremities of the feline are fur
nished with soft, velvety balls or COW
erings, instead Of hoofs. These balls ex-
tend below the claws, which are drawn
up when not in use, enabling the cat to
walk across board floor without the
slightest noise.''
"Oh, that isn't what makes a cat
tread softly,'' said Tommy when the
old man had finished.
"No? What is it, then?' asked grand
papa.
Mice" replied the boy, while a
happy smile lit up his ingenious face

A VIGIL.

IL this the dawn that slowly leaves
The shadowy bed so still and white,
And with it's cool, soft touch unweaves
The fevered fancies of the night2
Is this the dawn? Oh, love. you lie
So calm beside the taper's beam,
AS though it were not you and
Who laughed together in my dream.
While DER the flowery way abreast
We stepped along the springy lea,
Till outward to the closing west g..
Gold pathways led across the sea.
And all the purpling deeps Of space.
And all ewes tender, softening shine
We're deeper, holier round your face
Your face, my love, SO close to mine.
And 10, your eyes looked DER the bay
And shone so-two conflicting CLEANS.
Loves dawn, and the last glance OF day
Met in halo. Love, it seems
Only dream; your floating hair
Beam beloved, and a dream your face.
Now morning takes US unaware
And draws aside the shielding lace
OF night and breathing early flowers,
Looks boldly Oh the placid lid,
And brightens all the unheeding showers
Of gold. wherein last night lay hid
Your hand upon my shoulder. Dear,
In thy long dream sometimes ere night,
Bend DER me when the sky is clear
And look against the western light.

Cuban Sugar and Tobacco,

The economic collapse Of Cuba is re-
vealed by few salient figures. Sugar
is the chief article of export, and 60 per
cent of the population live on it's pro-
duction. In 1894 (before the rebellion)
the total output of sugar was 1850, 900
tons. This season, up to April 80, only
10, 900 tons have been manufactured,
and 1.-THE total output for the year is
estimated at less than 300, 900 tons, :"
with good luck. Tobacco, the second
great staple of Cuban trade, is in a
worse plight than sugar: The normal
production is $50, 900 bales. "T6is year
will see only so, 900 bales in the mar
ket. " In a few weeks the cigar factories
in Havana will close their doors, which
will throw $1,000 men and women out
of work. The value of the exports from
Cuba is calculated to have fallen in one
year from G12, 100000 to So, 900, 900.
No wonder merchants are of opinion
that Cuba has received her deathblow.

EYEsIGHT OF BIRDS.
Wonderful Powers of Vision Of the Crow
the Rnxxard and the .Yulturs.

wonAerful Powers of Vision Of the Crow,
the Buxzard and the vuIture.
When an animal is killed and skim
ned, says Sir Samuel Baker, before
the operation is completed the first bird
% appear is the willy and omnipresent
crow. The next is the ordinary buzzard.
Both these birds are near the surface Of
the earth, seeking their food with un-
firing energy. But although they may
have keen power of scent, even they, in
my opinion, are mainly guided by their
acuteness Of vision, as they are always
on the alert, hunting in every direction,
and, in fact, keeping sharp lookout.
The third arrival is the small, red
necked vulture. This bird descends from
a great height It is now most interest
ing to watch the concentration from all
quarters of the compass. This is easily
arranged by lying beneath bush, and
shading the eyes while 3ou gaze into
the deep blue sky. 1t will appear to be
all alive with the smallest flies, all
moving, all hurrying and descending.
These become rapidly larger, and you
are aware they are vultures, collecting
from such enormous attitudes that were
a mountain top exposed it would be
capped with everlasting snow. While
you are straining your eyes to peer into
these blue vaults you are startled by a
tremendous rush like the roar of a
rocket. This is the descent, with closed
wings, of some Of the large, bare necked
vultures. who have plunged like plum
met for some thousand feet to share in
the feast below. All those birds flying
at high attitudes have been soaring up
on endless wings, never fatigued by
motion, as they seldom flap, but only to
adjust themselves to the currents of air
upon which they float, and having, with
their extraordinary powers of sight, OBJ
served the hurry Of smaller birds TO
some attractive point, they have at once
directed their course to fulfill the Bibli-
cal expression, "Where the carcass is,
there shall the eagles (vultures) be gath
cred together. -
