oh, lovely night. thou contest with bless

To weary souls grown restless with de.
spair,
Thou bringest gentle sleep to close theil
eyelids,
And Danish for awhile each haunting
care,
Like tired child upon its mothers
They lay them down and gently. sweet
ly rest.
Sleep brings them dreams of happy youth
and childhood
OF pleasant journeys In fair summer
lands,
They see again old friends. long since de-
parted;
They feel once more the touch Of van
ished hands.
Sickness and sorrow, poverty and pain
Are gone until the morning dawns
again.
The rich, the happy, love the golden sun
shine,
The young and gay. the prosperous seek
the light
But the forsaken ones. the broken
hearted,
Find solace. peace and comfort in the
night
For night brings sleep. and sleep brings
visions fair,
Or blest oblivion of all pain and care.

CLOTHING PORTRAITS.
The Artistic Tailor Meets with Much
Consideration.

The Artistic Tailor Meets with Much
Consideration.
Even as there are sermons in stones
SO may it be asserted that there are
great glittering art truths contained
in tailors' geese.
This fact is made clear by the as
sertion of tailors' trade journal that
no portrait painter can reach perfcc-
ton in his chosen field until he has
made himself thoroughly familiar with
what this trade journal is pleased to
call the anatomy Of clothes.
The tailors bitterly complain that
the portrait painter does not make The
buttons breathe the atmosphere Of
artistic realism, but indicates them by
dots, so that the observer cannot tell
whether they are sewcd on through
holes or from behind, or whether they
are composed of cloth or celluloid.
They also complain that the creasrs
and folds are not indicated with sufsi-
Gent sharpness and vim, and that a
man. in brand-new suit looks as If
he had just come out of the sea. It
is assumed that the portrait painter,
carried away by the enthusiasm that
was his when he was a marine artist,
makes the clothing sag like the sails
upon Venetian boats. OF course, from
the tailor's point Of view, the matter Of
painting the face with fidelity amounts
to nothing. The artist should study
only the clothing and endeavor to re-
produce the tone, texture and cut Of
the cloth. Therefore it is suggested
that every art school have a clothing
branch under the supervision of a reg
ularly ordained tailor, whose duty it
will be to elevate the art until every
subject shall shine forth and corrus-
cate with all the pristine glory of
fashion plate.-N. Y. World.

She was one of those girls who viii
never manage anything unless, may be,
a husband.
"All things come to him who waits!"
And so, at length, Mr.. Meredith, who
had been doing the waiting to perfec-
ton, had BflSie come to him with the
glad news tft she could ride splendidly
now, and couldn't they make up some
parties and go out on the road? Then
we had several very pleasant rides Oc-

for about four miles, and then Bessie
| began to weaken. She was tired, very
tired, as could easily tell by the feeble
way she pushed on my pedals, but she

Mr.. Meredith and own Bob right-oh

Suddenly she gave cry, something
| between gasp and a scream. "Oh, look
in front of us-see that drove OF

"They won't hurt you" said Mr.. Mer-

"But my wheel-it always-always

gladly slowed up in pursuance Of
this idea, for Bessie was too tired to
have the slightest control over me, and
dropped behind with Bob.
Bessie, you are tired to death" he ex-
claimed. injudiciously.
Pm not" replied Bessie, furious at
once. but I'm afraid of those cows;

Keep it pointed straight, and be-

soothingly. "Let us get off and rest,

''No, / won't get off; I'm not bit

"Take the center of the road, them"
said Bob, as we neared the meek-look-
ing cows. "They can't hurt you. I'm
on their side; don't go up on the path, or
you'll get puncture, sure"
That gave me an idea. Bessie was
tired out and too proud to own it. She
would certainly fall off if she did not
get down in few minutes. A puncture
would be an excellent excuse for rest
ing. Then. again, she had said twice
that / SHE'D at cows-well, would
make her words true.
Without further hesitation 1 ran
down little incline in the road and
made for the bypath Bob had warned
us of.

he ripped a puncture in his own tire

some talk the man agreed to take them
in town.
"Why, where is your wheel?" I
heard Bob SAY.

said Bessie, and her voice sounded
strangely happy. Then Bob went look
Ing around until he found me, and,
having ascertained that beyond the de-
flated tire / had no injuries, he packed
me with his own wheel in the cart and
then he and Bessie climbed in by Us.
AS we drove slowly toward town I
heard Bob say in allow voice.

Eyes, Bob, but do you know like this
wheel of mine and want to keep it al

And Bob laughed heartily and said:

the street, but Bessie and were quite
friendly about that time, and was try
ing to please her by giving as little
trouble as possible.
Before long Bessie became convinced
of the idea that she was a famous rider,
and suggested that we all take trip
out to Cabin John bridge. heard Bob
advise her to try shorter run first,
but then Mr.. Meredith came up and said
Il would be delightful, and of course
Miss Bessie could do it easily; there
wasn't better rider in the city, and he
fixed on the next day for the trip.
Thenext day dawned clear and warm,
and we set out about 1870 o'clock. /
must admit that Bessie looked as pref

its many buttons, and jaunty cap. Be-
fore we started Bob came up to me, as
he always did, to see that all my parts
were secure and firm, and that no peb-
bles or bits of dirt were scratching
against my chain. He did not look par

Natives of India Find an Ochre Garment
a Ward for the SUMS Rays.
| A hint comes from India which IS
worth using when the hot summer
days arc upon us. Lassitude and loss
OF appetite are among the first evil
dences of the effect of the suns heat
upon the body, and in hot weather
many persons who have never had sun
stroke are debilitated by Whit might
fairly be called sun fatigue, which, al
though not serious, renders work of
every kind more laborious than ii would
otherwise be. The influence of the sun
varies enormously on different indiyid-
uals, some of whom have to take special
precautions in order to be able to re-
sist it. A spinal pad is used by sol
tiers in many tropical countries. It
arrests the light, which often works
much injury, but is uncom6ortablly
hot, and soon becomes Objectionable
from its absorption of perspiration.
According to royal engineer, who
is stationed in India. the boon and bless
ing beyond compare to those who have
to spend part of their lives under
tropical sunlight is an orange colored
shirt. He declares that he frequently
fell sick after duty in the sun until he
treated himself rs a Photographic sem
sitive plate and surrounded his body
with yellow light. All clothing, how
ever thick. allows certain rays to
pass, and although thick clothing
would arrest all the injurious elements
of sunlight, il would interfere with
the escape of bodily heat. The yellow
shirt, for sensitive people who are much
in hot sunshine. is an excellent pro-
lection. only inferior to that simplest
and best of all Indian protectiyes. a
white umbrella, which has not been
ncclimoted in this eountry.-Pilts-
