CouieUr de Rose.

There is story told CT an English
woman whose husband was in politics,
and who WIS in consequence obliged
to entertain numerous people in whom
she not only felt no possible interest,
but many Of whom Were absolutely dis
tasteful to her. It was exceedingly try
ing at times, this being forced to vel
come unGelcome visitors with a show
OF cordiality, but subtle plan Of re-
venge, which would at the same time
afford her amusement, finally occurred
to her. At tine next large dinner that
she and her husband save the room was
lighted by little electric lights with
colored globes, which were suspended
from the ceiling ana hung above the ia
BILE in g big circle. Upon such Of the
guests as had been the lady's choice a
soft, rosy light was cast, making men
and wcrnen alike appear ut their best,
while here and there ghastly green rays
fell upon some unfortunate constituent
Of her husband who was too much i'm
pressed by the masnificence CT the feast
TO have amy thought for his or her ap-

MARRYING FOR MONEY.
Clever Defense Of . Much Condemned
Matrimonial Step.

Clcscr Defenec OF . Much CONDEMNED
Matrimonial Step.
Among the unnecessarily harsh judy
ments pronounced upon human actions
may be classed the universal scorn ex-
pressed toward the girl who marries for
money There are those who do not
hesitate TO draw the most odious COM
parsons between such a girl and others
of her sex, says writer in Vogue.
Making of love, so called, a sort Of
fetch, the world defies what is, after
ali. bct ar instinct. as though it We're
a grander. finer thing than courage or
probity or self denial, or ;ny other real
y beautiful human trait. 1t applauds
any insanity committed in the name q
love, provided always that the convcn.
tons are observed. Love that leads to
the degraded life Of the tene1nents, tc
alliances with TIE diseased or morally
weak, thai throws away years of train
ing IL an grt or science, that breaks
the hearts Of parents-an of these
things. and many us monstrous, are ex-
cuscd if criy ''iove' is offered as a rca-

for tie alleviaticr of their sufferings
ard the permanent lettering of their
conditions, thousands of helpless little
ones czpiatc by cruel suffering and acute

sideraticns IN matrimonial alliances, it
cannot surely be wholly repreL ,nsible
to look with favor on lnoneyed alliances.
Sentiment is, indeed, to be preferred
to scrdidness, but tlie girl who decides
fer the Geccncies az well as the luxu-
res Of life. for herself and any chill
dren that may he born to her, by choos-
ing wealth instead of poverty is not
necessarily sordid, and, beautiful though
sentiment may be, when to cherish it
means inevitably life in small, unwhole-

not spare the services Of its mistress

vAwM IN . MAIDEN SPEECH.
An 1neident Which Typfacs the sleepfnce
Of the English Commons.

------
An Incident Which Typiacs the s.eepincss
Of the English Commons.
The occasion of making ones maiden
speech is hardly, the time ore would ez.
pect legislator 10 select for giving
vent TO a yawn. 1t is nevertheless on
record that sople 80 years ago. when
the present Duke of Devcnshire. then
Lord Harrington. was making his maid.
en- speech in the house of commons he
visibly yawned. and Mr.. Disraeli. whose
keen eye noted the occurrence, is &C.
credited with having made the remark
that "a man who can yawn in the midst
of his maiden speeclHis capable of rising
to the highest position in this house. 70
Since his transference to Che upper
house the noble duke has probably fcrnd
even more facilities than existed in the
commons for doing.
Mr.. Gladstone used 10 be frecnent
offender in the same direction. The
Grand Old Man was often lost to all
consciousness Of what was going on
around him. and yer. marvellous to re.
late. after quietly ncdding away
through portion Of debate. he would
wake up. deliver himself Of big. long
yawn. and thei, make a speech which.
for lucidity and power of argument.
would seem tc imply that he had heard
every word that had been spoken
throughout the debate
Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir William
Harcourt often appear TO &c fast asleep.
but it is doubtful if either Of them ever
really Loses touch Of what is going on
around him.
The habit Of fitting the hat well ever
the eyes and sitting with bowed head
and legs crossed enc over the other Is
one which appears TO find much favcr
with large number Of members in each
succeeding house Of commons. but it
will always be a moot point whether
they really go to sleep or merely make
believe to. rs children say. At. all
events. it is noticeable that they never
seem at loss for word CT sentence
when the time comes for them to rise
up in their places. .- --.,.
Putting all others out of the question.
however, the champion sleeper of the
house is Sir Richard Temple, who goes
TO sleep at eli times and under all sorts
of conditions At times he appears TO
be anxious TO ward off the feeling Of
somnolency which is obviously obtain
ing the mastery over him. but the CT
fort is all IN vain and his head will in
sist ON falling upon his breast.
How his hat ever remains upon his
head, seeing the dislocatory swerves
and strange movements the latter as
sumes from time to time, is a matter
for wopderment. -Pearson's Weekly.

1t is delightful to note the tameness
of the birds of Egypt. They crter rooms
and houses through windows and crew
ices left for ventilation, and once inside
hop fearlessly about the floor picking
upstray crumbs. A sparrow often perch
es on the corner Of the table daring the
progress Of a crowded hotel repast, and
it is not uncommon to see them fitting
across the ceiling Of a drawing room at
Luxor. All birds, from the largest to
the smallest, go unmolested unless they
are definitely used for food. The grea.
brown kite sits fcarlessly on the roofs
Of Cairo, hard by his cousin, the crow,
which is not black, like our crow, but
is black and gray. and might easily be
mistaken for pigeon. Every large gar
den-at any rate in upper Egyptians
its owl frequenting tail palm tree
and hootiIg CT whistling as nature
guides it.-Exchaugp.

Cathode Rays Not as Bright .. a candi.

Now, one Of the first questions / have
been asked in regard to these rays is
this, How did you obtain light so in.
tense that you could take photographs
through board an inch thick?", The
answer is this: The light is not intense
TO the eye. 1t does not appear as bright
as that Of Il freely. Indeed it cannot be
seen on the darkest night at distance
Of 800 feet. Yet candle can be dis
tinguished on similar night ut least a
mile. But the rays of candle are en-
tirely cut off from Photographic plate
by c sheet of pasteboard a sixteenth Of
an inch thick or even less. The cathode
rays are intense. however. to the photo
graphic plate, which can be termed tie

"RiLLY ROUND THE FLAG"

There has been no more cOnncndablc pr"po-
sitiOn in this campaign than that made by Mr..
Hnnna that next Saturday, the Saturday before
election, shall be observed as Flag Day. and
that on it every citizen who intends TO vote for
honest money and the maintenance OF the Ma
tons integrity shall display the Natlona! tn
sign at his home and place of business. "Old
Glory" is always q good thing for Americans TO
display. They do not, as arulc. make enough
OF IT, not as much as the French do Of the
TrIcOlor or the British Of ST. Georges Cross.
They have too much used 1t merely for advcr-
Using purposes. sometimes Of Il base nature
and not enough as an emblem of Nationality
and an incentive 10 high patriotism. II was
we'll TO forbid its use rs an advertising design.
1t was excellent t. order it 10 be raised daily
above every public school IN the State-an ex-
ample which should be followed In every State
in the Union. II was happy thought to adopt
II In miniature, years ago. as the campaign
badge of the party that was cOntcnding for the
American System against subservicncy to for
cisn ideas. But most appropriate and most
praisewOrlhy Of all Is it 10 make the Stars and
Stripes the symbol and standard of those who
In this campaign. are battling, without regard
to old party lines, for the preservation Of the
authority, the Nations very life.
For that, be assured. Is exactly what the Re
publicans and their Honest Money allies are
doing, even more than Republicans and their
War Democrat allies did in 1851. There was
in 1861 nothing 10 meet but an attack upon
the Nations unity The South wanted TO be
Nation by itself. and was willing the North
should remain Nation by itself, with Ma
tional credit unimpaired and National authority
supreme. But Bryan's would-be revolution IL

Davis's. 1t aims not merely to divide tho
Union. 10 array one section against another
and class against class in al sections. but also
10 destroy the credit OF the whole Nation. and
of every section, State and community 10 de-
bauch the entire judiciary. and so 10 weaken

government strong enough 10 execute the law
and to uphold order against the mob. That,
stated moderately and dispassionately, Is eX-
actly what Bryan. inspired and abetted by Alt.
geld and Debs. Is endeavoring to do. OppOs.
ton to him is loyalty to the Republic. In such
opposition the one fit standard is the flag Of the
Republic. which has led American armies to
victory In foreign and intestine wars, and
which should lead the American people TO vie
