Senator and soldiers.

The days when senators and represent
atives in congress were expected to
frank letters for private soldiers, re-
counted by Mr.. j. A. Watrous of Chicago
in some army "reminiscences, were dam
gerous ones for congressional visits to
the military camps
Mr. Watrous says that Senator limo
thy o. Howe of Wisconsin once visited
the headquarters of his friend, General
Rufus King, and was at the first oppor-
tuunity besieged by the soldiers with
packages Of envelopes to be franked
Senator Howe was one of the most
good natured of men, and Immediately
sat down in the tent of one of the cap
tains and began to frank envelopes by
the hundred.
General King had made special prep
arations for a dinner in honor of his
guest. 1t was to eclipse all the camp
dinners that had been given for long
time. Senator Howe had been franking
envelopes about half an hour when the
call came for dinner He went on writ
ing, and General King came to get him.
go on, King; I'll be there directly, :"
said the senator.
Dinner was served. The guests had
arrived No one ate, but after awhile
the colored cook was sent to tell the SEN
ator that the meal was getting cold.
"Oh, tell them to go ahead, y said
the senator, still writing madly on SOL
diers' envelopes. "I'll be with them as
soon as I can. !"
He finished the pile and rose to go,
but just then two more soldiers came in
with fresh parcels, and he seated him
self again. After he had signed them
all he joined the impatient company at
a cold dinner.
''I'm sorry" he said, "but it made
the boys happy. They will make their
friends happy with all the letters they
will send in those franked envelopes,
and it made me happy to do it. 4"

The old time idea that the slightest
touch of a foreign substance ON the heart
means certain death was shattered years
ago. One Of the most remarkable cases
ever heard of, however, was that de-
scribed in a paper read before the Asso-
citation of American Physicians some
years ago by Dr. Peabody. 1t was of a
case where pin was found in human
heart after having been there for an in
definite period. The point of the pin
was distant above five millimeters from
the external surface of the heart The
pin seemed eroded and was broken by
the scissors in dissection, without be-
coming dispaced There was no evil
dence Of recent local Inflammation, but
that part of the heart in the neighbor-
hood of the protruding head of the pin
was greatly thickened and snow white
and firmly adherent to the edge of the

Civilization is a very complex affair.
So long as the laws of the land are not
violated the rich mans private expend-
itures are as strictly a matter to be con-
trolled by his own taste and Judgment
as the expenditures of the poor man.
Capital in this country in our genera
ton has been eminently and conspicu-
ously devoted to economic production
and has not to any appreciable extent
been diverted and wasted in wanton
luxury. 1t is none of the public's bust
ness how the millionaire monopolist
spends his money, but it is in the high
est degree the public's business how he
has gained ESPECIALLY how it came to
pass that he obtained the franchise or
public privilege or other favorable OPP
portunity by means of which he has en-
riched himself Review of Reviews.

Crystal Sky Cn1nmns.

An explanation of a curious optical
phenomenon sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights which is called the "pseu-
do aurora, is offered in Science by Mr..
Goode Of the Chicago university The
phenomenon takes the form of beautiful
columns of silvery light standing over
electric arc lamps and other bright
lights and sometimes appearing almost
to reach the zenith. Mr.. Goode says
that sometimes the evening star has q
bright shaft below as we'll as above,
while the rising moon stands in broad
column of light These appearances are
due to floating frost crystals which keep
their rejecting faces horizontal. On ex-
animation he found that the crystals
concerned in the exhibition were thin
six sided plates of ice. never more thar
one millimeter in diameter. When the
wind blows, these little plates are upset,
and the columns of light, caused by re-
Election from their surfaces, disappear.

LADY Beaoonsseld.

We do not know enough of that
strange and attractive personality, the

The Danodil,

1t is now many centuries since, ac-
cording to Ovid, the young man Narois-
sus was changed into daffodil because
of his pining away from seeing his love-
ly shadow in the water But it can
hardly be from sympathy with the un-
fortunate youth that the flower has con-
tinued to be so popular during all these
long ages. Certain it is that it has as
high value today in the gardens Of
persons of taste as in the flower plot Of
the humblest cottager, No garden Is
considered to be quite complete without
its little patch of daffodils.
OF late years florists have given at
tention to raising varieties from them,
and the record of their many forms is a
feature Of the catalogue of all seedsmen.
Double ones formerly carried of the
palm for popularity, but in recent times
the single variety is regarded as quite
as desirable. -Meehan' Monthly.

Shares Of Several Bought and Sold Daily
on the Stock Exchange.
Most of the French journals haveT
sale de depeches, where bulletins are
displayed and museum Of relics of the
paper is kept French journalism is
much more personal in regard to its lit
erary composition than that of England
or America. A large proportion Of the
articles are signed with the names Of
the writers, even when the work Is
more or less Of a routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments Of
the paper On the other hand, the own
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many Of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
Citations, while the stock of several of
the best known. such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
on the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as those of rail-
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation of all but very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents If a paper
contains a striking article, well adver-
tised previously, or if its feuilleton, con-
tinued story or memoirs, which most Of
the French journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, is by some
well known author, the circulation will
run Up so, 600 or 100, 900 in a week
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When LIE Jour
began publishing M. Henri Rochefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up FIVE
fold, although the price of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French press is much more con-
centrated in the capital than that Of
other European countries. In Germany,
for instance, it is not the press of Berlin
that has the largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many
other matters, however, the French
press only bears out the saying that
paris is France. '-Chautauquan.

opportunity to play the agreeable to her.
When Sunday came-the old folks
had gone off on a visit-John donned
his best clothes, and with the silver
mounted pipe in his mouth strolled
through the village toward the mill.
When he came to the milldam, he paus-
ed. Here it was where he had pulled
Liz out of the water. What dear little
thing she was thenl He crossed the
brook and glanced into the garden
where the miller's daughter sauntered
up and down between her flower beds.
1t seemed strange and foolish to him all
at once that he should go in there and
propose to her, and the mill and the
quaint little house and big forest behind
lost all attractiveness for John. He
turned and started for home much faster
than he had come away.
On the bench under the linden tree
sat girl in holiday dress. In her hand
she held a rose She arose and came to-
ward him, holding out her hand.
GOOD afternoon, JOHN" she said.
''LizP' he cried and in a moment
held her in his arms and kissed her
soundly. She pushed him aside bit,
and the hot color mounted from her
throat to the roots of her dark hair, but
she said nothing and went into the
house with him.
Within it was shadowy and cool. The
blossoms of the linden tree sent their
fragrance through the open window
and slanting sun rays danced merrily
over Mother Kathrine's shining tin
plates on the wall
The bullfinches sang in the trees and
the water splashed gayly as it fell from
the spout into the trough. John pushed
his chair close to the girls and laid his
arm around her shoulder.
Liz shook her head.
''Liz we've been such good friends
always; but we are not brother and sis
ter after all"
"No, that we are not, answered Liz
softly.
''And that's why I think you had
better be my wife. Will you, Liz?'
Liz said not word. With downcast
eyes she plucked the rose to pieces that
still was in her hand, nodded her head
and smiled, as she had been wont to
smile. The bullfnch finished his song,
the linden tree spent its fragrance, and
the sun shone on as if nothing had hap
pened, while the lovers sat in the dusk
and waited for the home coming of their
parents. st. Louis Republic

Beyond the realm of barter and of pence;
Beyond the closeness of a social cline
Where, like an eager bard enchanted by

Beyond brick walls and dreary chimneys,

Beyond the purlieus of disease and crime
And haunts where honest lives grow hard and

Beyond all these in what tranquility,
