In accents smooth and bland:
81 do not care for songs of love
Or lines on Fate, " said he,
cor how the placid moonlight sleeps
Upon the summer sea.
81 do not care for angel wings,
Or Cupid's pointed dart,
Or how some tired sister sings
The songs that soothe the heart.
81 do not wish rhyme on Hope
Or Peace or Purity.
A merry quatrain on success
Will not appeal to me.
"What desire are stirring tales
About some sly giraffe
Who plays II joke upon an ape
That makes lizard laugh,
"Or cannibals who fail to catch
A missionary man,
Or something on the amber goat
That eats the azure can,
cor how the tourist far from home,
In sundry straits, essays
To use the ever ready snake
In divers helpful ways,
cor iests upon the weary tramp
Beneath the w"yside gee.
These are the poems that appeal

Red Manicure saAve Is vulgar.

Women never cared more carefully
for their nails than now, but the woman
of taste avoids extremes in this as in
all things. Pink nails are admired be-
cause u perfect nail should be thin
enough to show the resy blood be-
meath, but nail glowing with the red
salve of the toilet table is no better
liked than lips and cheeks which owe
their brilliancy to the rouge pot. Nor
is an artificial polish to be recommend
ed; the natural gloss should be main
tanned and heightened. The best au-
thorities forbid the use of the nail
brush. Any dust or soil may be re-
moved with a bit of cotton wound
around wooden toothpick OF hit OF
orange wood; the small emery boards
which are sold everywhere for the pur-
pose keep the under surface of the
nail so smooth that little or nothing can
adhere.

Ichinery, and the carriage of head and
shoulders was not that of u man awake
EHe came straight down upon us, head
erect and eyes wide open, but looking
neither to the right nor to the left. We
stood aside to let him pass, and his left
lhand touched q bush and the letter was
torn from his fingers and picked up by
lthe corporal. 1t was a wife's letter to
lher husband-a wife's letter to her SOL
|dier-captain in the field. The man be-
fore us belonged to the Tenth Alabama,
and the letter was written from an Ala
!bama plantation.
Don't touch him." whispered the
corporal, as we fell in behind the SOM
nambulist.
He walked down our left-front the
width of two regiments and back again.
lOne of our party went ahead to whis-
per to the sentinels, and they stood in
awe as the midnight visitor passed
down and returned. His gaze was al
ways the same-straight before him,
and he neither increased nor slackened
his pace. By and by he came back to
post No. 4, and there he stopped for

ing. We stood close to him, but no
man made sound. We noted the color
tof hair and eyes-the fresh scar on his
cheek-a finger missing from his left
hand. Of sudden the man started up
and walked on, heading straight for the
confederate lines We stood and
watched him across the glade and into
the darkness of the woods and then
turned away.
Il feel that God will bring you home
to me again." said the letter which the
bush had torn from his hand.
AT nine o'clock next morning we
were fercely attacked, but after
bloody conflict the enemy were driven
back. When we went out to succor the
wounded and bury the dead we found
the captain almost among the first of
the dead. Three bullets had struck
him in the breast as he dashed forward
lat the head of his company. In his
breast pocket we placed the letter
which loving hand had traced, and we
gave him grave of his own and marked
Iit that his friends might know the
spot when war was no more Better
for the loving wife had we made him
prisoner as he came walking among
us that night, but had we done so he
might not have died q soldiers DEATH

FIVE POINTS OF FINANCE.
Some Propositions That Cannot Be Con-
troverted.

The Courier-Journal has been re-
quested to republish the celebrated five
propositions laid down by Secretary
Carlisle in his speech at Bowling Green
May 25, 1895. Here they are:
"First-That there is not free-coinaEe
country in the world to-day that is not on
A silver basis.
'Second-That there is not a gold-stand-
ard country in the world to-day that does
not use silver as money along with gold.
''Third-That there is not a sIlver-stand-
ard country in the world to-day that uses
any gold as money along with silver.
"Fourth-That there is not a silver
standard country in the world to-day that
has more than one-third as much money
in circulation per capita as the United
States have: and
"Fifth-That there Is not silver-stand-
ard counEy in the world to-day where the
laboring man receives fair pay for his
days work."
These propositions have never been
successfully controverted and never
will be. They show that the attempted
Identification of free coinage at sixteen
to one with bimetallism is barren

WOMAN AND HOME.
DRAwlNe-RooM SCREEN.
Although Rather Elaborate, One Can he
Made at Moderate Expense.

| Although Rather Elaborate, One Can He
Made mt Moderate Expense.
There is no minor article of furlviture
perhaps that is more useful in n house
than pretty screen. Every drawing
room should possess one, for it contrib
utes largely to its coziness, especially
in the winter months. To purchase a
really nice screen, ready-made, a good
round sum must be expended, and even
then the article purchased may not
prove satisfactory. 1 am giving, there
fore, practical suggestion for home
made screen, which, If properly car
ried out, will result in charming and
useful addition to the drawing-room.
For the framework of my screen, an
ordinary two-leaf clothes-horse will
answer admirably; but if particular
size and width be desired, working
carpenter will knock you up what you
require for trifle.
Having your framework ready, cover
1t with strong unbleached calico
This will be best done by using small
black brads, and covering each leat
separately. The calico should be
strained very tightly from side to side,
and plenty of brads used in the mailing.
When these preliminaries are accom-
plished the frame is ready for it's orna-
mental covering.
The materials required will be as fol-
lows: Fine olive-green cloth to cover
the screen quite plainly on the outside,
yard of lemon-colored velveteen, and
sufficient eau-de-Nil pongee silk to line
the inside of the screen, and to cover
half of the front. l am unable to give
quantities of material in this instance,
as l have not suggested any particular
size for the screen, which may vary
with the tastes of the reader, and the
actual making is what 1 wish to make
clear to you.
1t will be seen by the sketch that the
ornamentation of the screen consists
of flight of butterflies upon one leaf
and the lower half of the second.
These are fashioned from the lemon
colored velveteen, and should be cut
out from a paper pattern, which may
be varied in various positions accord
ing to the ingenuity of the w orker, and
it is a pretty idea to have the butter
flies graduating in size from large TO
very small.
These, when cut out, can be fixed
on to the cloth in two or three ways;

facturer, with his native love OF color,
never fails to fasten to the wicker cas-
ing of his wine bottle, were left, and
afforded the only brilliant tones in the
dainty novelty.
Another lamp to be desired, seen in a
studio noted for it's fascinating col
lection of old brasseS and glass, was
fashioned of one of the brass milk cans
which are among the finds OF Holland.
The can had been slightly beaten and
highly polished, and into its four-inch
neck was fitted lamp fount. A yell
low silk shade added the finishing
touch.
In the den of bachelor foundation
for a lamp has been laid with three
Turkish daggers. Their handles, rest
ing on the table, the curved blades hold
the fount. The original thought which
designed this unique ornament has car
ried out the oriental scheme in the
shade, which is made of a brightly
striped silk scarf of Turkey.
The fortunate possessor of two tall,
single candelabI a of the Empire period
has, with the aid of pale yellow and
turquoise blue lamp bulb and shade to
match, added two of the most charming
Illuminating vehicles imaginable to her
artistic menage. The same little house
wife has supplied a much-desired blue
and white lamp for a white dining
room by purchasing for a mere song a
tall candlestick of imitation Delft and
supplying it with a white porcelain
bulb and a shade made of blue and
white japanese crepe.
An inexpensive and in every way sat-
isfactory toilet lamp is easily evolved
from any one of the pretty porcelain
candlesticlls picked up occasionally, at
very small investment, in the leading
crockery houses. The simple old brass
and silver caudlesticks that are 4
heritage from our grandmothers will
also be found very available for the
same purpose.-N. Y. Times.

Beneilclaries of Cheap Money.

Every period of the depreciation of
the monetary unite has at once sent
prices up, the prices of the merchant,
who gets the news quickly, before those
of the farmer, who gets the news more
slowly, and long time before the wages
of the laborer who cannot afford to
hold his labor out of the market till he
gets u proportionate increase for it.
Fixed incomes remain the same, and the
rise of prices inflicts great suffering on
their recipients. Wages remain the
same for time and rise slowly, and in
the meantime the laborers complain
that prices have gone up so that they
cannot afford to buy enough food and
clothing. The farmer gets two prices
for all he sells and pays two prices for
all he buys, and is no better off than he
was before the change. The bene-
ficiaries are debtors on obligations in
CURED before the change, and these are
not a very large class-many of them
are also creditors and lose out of one
pocket while gaining into the other
and the spectators, some of whom al
ways make profit in panics and crises
and periods of sudden changes of values
out of the losses of others.-N. Y. Jour
nal of Commerce.
