How BritOns Travel.

~ was in compartment of railway
carriage on the East Coast line from Lon
don to Edinburgh.
One foggy morning at 1880 O'Clock the
narrator entered Kings Cross station, in
London, to begin his northward journey.
A guard ushered him into a compartment,
whore sat a Scotchman.
Each passenger composed himself for
the long ride, with boxes and bags and
sticks and rugs slowed away under the
seats or in the racks above. The Briton
sat near one end of the seat, with his back
to the locomotive. His neighbor sat fac
ing him.
just before the train started guard
opened the compartment door and ushered
In another passenger.
He too, was Scotchman. He slowed
his traps away and seated himself at the
opposite end of the seat occupied by his
countryman, also facing the Englishman.
Hour after hour those three men sat to-
gether, looked into the narrow space of an
English railway compartment, and never
a word passed between them, Never a
look passed from one to another.
AT the proper stations, when the guard
opened their door, each ordered lunch
basket to be Tiled and brought to him, =
so far as any recognition on the part Of
any one of the three passengers that any
other one was in the compartment there
was no sign of it, Part of the time they
read; part of the time they looked straight
ahead. Once in awhile one looked out Of
the window. That was all.
AT last, after ten hours of trundling
away to the north, Edinburgh was reached
AS the train drew into Waverly station the
three neighbors of a day began to gather
their traps into convenient shape for car
rying.
AT last the guard opened the door, and
they were at liberty to step to the outer
platform.
Moved evidently by the spirit of socia-
bility and the thought of separation, so re-
lated the Britop, one Of the Scotohman
thought it proper to say word at parting.
He turned to his countryman and in a
deep and properly staid voice said, AYE,
mon, but It's a grawnd, guide thing to be
Presbyterian
And the other, his face lighting up with
the responsive CLEAN of a smile, bowed
and replied, "Ayer'
That was all-Chicago Record.

Dangers of the Dustpan.

To those who know the true inwardness
of things, the sight of a housemaid brush
Ing q dusty carpet Is suggestive of many
evils The death of Pastour has reminded
the world of what Is constantly present in
the thoughts of medical men-namely,
that while microbe organisms are the great
producers of disease, dust Is the great car
rier of microbe organisms. Now that we
know these things, now that we under
stand that in the quiet hours of night the
germ laden dust settles down upon the
floor, it Is distressing to find how little
our knowledge is put to practical USE and
to see old customs still unchanged, old
habits which we know to be destructive
carried on, and to find the housemaid on
her knees, with her brush and dustpan,
stirring up dust to the detriment of every
one, and breathing germ laden particles
to her own destruction.
1t needs but small amount of common
sense to see that if carpets must continue
"a thing greatly to be dcprecated-they
should be rubbed with damp cloth rath
er than brushed, and that If, in Difference
to prejudice, they must be brushed this
should be done by covered American
sweeper, with plenty of damp tea leaves.
OF all ways of removing dirt from car
pet, the worst is by the use of the ordi-
nary short brush, which involves the
housemaid kneeling down in the midst Of
the dust which she so needlessly creates
and drawing it into her lungs with every
breath. For ordinary household use, some
thing like linoleum, something which can
be washed with a wet cloth every morn
ing, would seem to be the best covering
for the floors, but If carpets must be, and
if it is impossible to teach the present gen.
Grafton the evils of seeking present COM
fort at the expense Of future risks, at least
let us remember that carpets may be wash
ed even where they lie, that, till the day
of washing comes, closed sweeper is far
better than a brush, and that the worst
form of brush Is one with short handle.

SmOkeless Powder.

There are many who imagine that
in the use of smokeless powder the
United States and other nations are
seeking to do away with smoke on bat
tlefelds," says military man. "There
is no opinion more erroneous than this,
as the smokelessness of the new pow.
ders is merely secondary considera-
ton. The old black powder was found
to be inefficient to produce the neces-
sary velocity for the new guns, and ex-
periments were made to get higher
explosive. When this was put in use,
the discoveries of the new explosives
were surprised to find that very little
smoke followed its explosion. Smoke
is often very useful on battlefield, and
no deliberate attempt was made to
eliminate it,"

A Determined Major.

A Maine soldier tells the Portland
Express how he got tid-bit while his
regiment was marching along hot and
dusty road in southern Pennsylvania
Orders were very strict against forag-
ing, but in spite of them soldier sud
denly sprang out of the ranks in pur-
suit of fat gobbler standing among
the sumac bushes on the roadside. The
turkey started off in hurry, with the
man after him. Major Brown called
out angrily: "Halt! What do you
mean? Haiti" A few hurried steps and
the soldier laid the turkey low with a
blow from his rife barrel. "There,
dun vel" he exclaimed, as he picked it
up. 81 reckon you'll understand that
when the major says halt he means it'

The HOUSEHOLD.


OH what is so rare ms day in June2
Then, II ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries the Earth If II be in tune
And Ger 1t softly her ear lays;
whether we look or whether we listen
We hear life murmur or see 1t gisten;
Every clod feels a stir OF might,
An instinct within It that reaches and towers.
And CROPPING bllndly above 1t for light
Climbs to soul In grass and flowers;
The flush OF life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowsp startles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in Its chalice.
And there's never a leaf nor blade too mean
To be some happy creatures palace.
.
Now is the high tide of the year.
And whatever of life hath ebbed away
Comes flooding back with ripply cheer
Into every bare inlet and creek and bay;
Now the heart ia so full because God Wills it.;
No matter how barren the past may have been.
IT'S enough for us now that the leaves are green
Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how;
Everything is happy now,
Everything ia upward striving;
IT'S as easy now for the heart to be true
AS for grass to be green or for skies to be blue
IT'S the natural way OF living;
Who knows whittier the clouds have fied2
In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake;
And the eyes forget the tears they have she'd
The heart forgets its sorrow and ache;
The soul partakes the seasons youth,
And the sulphurous riffs of passion and woe
Lie deep meath a silence pure and smooth.
Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.

Whose forms-dear faces-of my life part,
Gold-thread the memory of those hower-crowned

Rare CLEANS that lit path o'erstrewn with thorns,
Swift autumn blossoms, through the nighttime born.
To cultivate sweet memories, friends entwine

No stranger hand can fashion, or upraise,
Or break this finer grace, through dead years. glow,
Or hush the starshine Of our long ago"

With wishes-blessngs, from a loving heart
But where those, whose morning dawned so tairV

White blooms of Joy and peace; yet memory casts
Another shadow; far across the tide

Filled full with honors, tender gifts, that rear
Their softened spendor through Gods pictured

The tendril blossoms, at the Masters feet.

SELECTED STORY.
The Flight of the Arrow.

The life of man
Is an arrows flight,
out of darkness
Into light,
And out of light
Into darkness again;
Perhaps to pleasure,
Perhaps to painl
There must be something,
Above, or below;
Somewhere unseen
A mighty Bow,
Hand that tires not,
A sleepless Eye
That sees the arrows
Fly, and fly;
One who knows
Why we live-and die.
