Reminders of the Commune.

Parisians constantly find awful re-
minders of the days of the commune
staring them in the face. Recently the
water supply of the city was being
ameliorated, and in order to build some
storage tanks works were carried on
IN the Charonne quarter. There,
wrapped in their great coats or blank
cts, no fewer than 800 bodies were
found all victims of the bloody fights
which took place about May, 1871.
These remains were gathered up and
buried in corner OF the Charonne GEM
eterY.

LODGE AT PRESTON PARK.

doris leading to doors that bear an
amazing similarity to the door behind
which is your trunk and several things
you want Immediately. Yes. this must
be the way; you remember now; there
were two doors side by side, with
another around a queer little angle
close by. You are certain, and walk
boldly in without the formality of
knocking, and as no one dreams of
locking a chamber door at Preston
Park, you discover, after a searching
glance after your familiar luggage,
that you have not made the right guess
and have evidently interrupted the af-
ternoon nap of an elderly lady, who is
regarding your intrusion with look
Of mild disapproval.
You apologize and withdraw with
precipation and believing that it is
the door next which you seek. You
enter somewhat more timidly to find
no one, but also to not find your own
possessions. Then you grow desper-
ate and try door after door in success
sion. You certainly were located in a
room right at this corner. You knock,
and apologize at the appearance of
guests who evidently belong there,
until you grow dizzy and probably end
by walking into some apartment where
the occupant is engaged in shaving
himself, and Is so startled at your un-
announced entrance that he nearly cuts
his throat. Then you flee down stairs,
certain that something is wrong with
your brain and secure a guide. After
you have found yourself. wandering in

descended by mistake, and have done
many other absurd things, you become
familiar with the devious windings Of
that second floor and are quite prepared

dors and the general arrangement Of

mendable plan with which you have

Preston Park has many advantages.
The boating Is fine, and the boats OF
the club, as well as those owned by
members, are superior. There Is ex-
cellent fishing in both lakes, fresh
fish for breakfast being frequent

an unchristian hour in order to secure
catch. Then the Delaware river is

CLOSE CALCULATION.
The Very Small Margin of Profit in
Manufactures.

From Scribner's.
In calico printing one-tenth of cent
a yard is a fair profit. In paper manu-
facture three to five per cent upon the
product will yield 10 per cent upon the
capital invested. In sugar refining
one sixteenth of cent profit upon
pound is more than satisfactory. In
making pianos the average wages or
the operatives are high, as compared
to cotton and shoes, and the capital
involved comparatively small. Wages
in the piano factories of New York
and Boston average nearly $50 week,
taking the whole shop, but the profit
upon the product in good years runs as
high as Is per cent In the manufac-
ture of locomotives the average wage
is high, no women finding employment,
W hile in the manufacture of small arms
1t Is correspondingly low, women be-
ing largely employed. Reviewing the
whole field, 1t will be found that the
product of factories Is constantly grow
ing in value and wages increasing, as
compared to the capital involved Some
economists assert that capitals share
of the profits Is constantly decreas-
ing, while that of labor increases, but
this is still mooted point. The diff
ference between the cost of manufac-
ture and the retail selling price, or
the share falling to the middlemen or
men, varies according to the class of
product, the rule being that in staple
goods it is small, with fancy goods
and what are known as novelties it is
large. Common heavy cotton cloth,
costing eight cents to make, sells at re-
tail for about nine cents; fancy cali
Goes may sell at retail for double what
they cost to produce. In sugar, half
cent a pound is the average diff
ference between cost and retail price.
Shoes costing 50 to make, sell at retail

are past finding out, yet days fishing
in the Delaware is one of the most
approved pleasures of the resort.
This year bath houses have been
erected several inches larger in dimen-
sions than those at the sea shore. and
as the bathing is excellent much addi-
tional enjoyment is afforded the guests.
The roads are in good condition for
wheeling, and many bicyclists have
their wheels The walks are unrivalled.
Nowhere in this climate can be found
a greater profusion Of ferns with more
variety Of species to be noted. The din
ing tables and rooms are decorated
constantly, while the waxen beauty Of
water lilies are among the adornments.
ANNUAL COON HUNT.
The park contains much woodland
where shooting is good. The annual
coon hunt is a feature Of each season
while the young people would resent
being denied the autumnal corn roast.
There is tradition about one coon
hunt which Mr.. f. B. Sturges can
probably tell far better than can the
wri,er. 1t was early in the experience
of the association members and they
placed strong reliance upon the knowl-
edge Of rural Nimrod some miles
away whose two famous coon Digs
were trained for coons alone and could
not be persuaded to pursue any other
animal.

inent residents of this and other towns

had met violent death by falling
from the great railway bridge that
spans the Pecoss rivery An examina-
tion showed that the man had a revol-
yer ard $40 in cash in his pockets when
he was killed. After swearing in a
jury and looking over the effects Of the
dead man, Judge Bean said: Gen
tlemen of the jury, there amt no doubt
how this man came to his death; that's
all plain: but what 1 would like to
know Is why in the name of thunder
he carried that gun. Now, gentlemen.
it's agin the law to carry a concealed
and loaded gun in the state of Texas.
and fist because this gentleman took
1t into his head to get killed I don't
mean to let him offend the peace and
dignity of Texas. i fine him forty dol
lars" This Is an example of Judge
Beans efficient administration. Some
day his decisions will be published.
and then we will have for the first
time a clear understanding of the law
of the frontier. tnis

DAY OF REST AND GLADNEss.
The Sabbath Day is kept holy at this
restful resort. Church deacons and
other people do not go UP there and
catch fish nor go boating on that day.
At evening brief religious services are
held. Mr. James II. Torrey conducted
those of last Sunday. There were a
number Of musical voices among the
guests and many favorite hymns were
sung, making a fitting close to a peace
full day.
One of the pleasantest accompani-
ments to the Lodge this season is the
presence Of Miss Stella Hathaway, of
Carbondale, who attends to the busi-
ness details of the resort. She Is a
prime favorite with the guests. APP
plications are sent to her for rooms, or
to Messrs. Kennedy, T. ]. Foster, of
this city, or Dwight Crane, of Carbon
dale.
1t Is probable that in the near future
many improvements will be added to
the attractions of the park. Among
these will no doubt be included golf
links, a tennis court and a bowling
alley. Few places afford more fasci-
mating scope for golf than this magnifi-
| cent stretch of country and few ath-
letic sports would be as greatly appre-
| ciated by the class of visitors frequent
ing the park.
Excellent rates are now offered by
the Ontario and Western railroad. The
station Is less than two miles from the
Lodge, and carriages meet all trains

THE WRONG COON.

1t was not until one of our best
known citizens had endeavored to in
vestigate the refuge of the animal that
1t was discovered beyond any possible
mistake that the dog which couldn't
be made to chase anything but a coon"
had made grievous blunder. and
would reasonably have to be buried for
a protracted period before he could be
permitted to again mingle in respec-
table society. The same course could
have been taken with advantage by
the prominent Scrantonian with
curious turn OF mind. About then the
other dog began to grow very much
excited and his owner frightened UP
as he declared Josh has a coon; can
tell by his bark" / believe 1t was Mr.
Sturges himself who was in at the
death of this "coon," which was evil
IDENTIFY a near relative to the other.
The hunters returned to the Lodge
and the large party of wives and sis
ters there awaiting them, with the nice
supper which had been so carefully
prepared. A queer expression spread
over the faces of the fair ones as the
tired men entered. 1t was puzzled
look at first which soon settled into one
of decision when, as one woman, they
all held their breath and fled to the
upper rooms and left the banquet hall
to the lords of the chase.
Another tradition exists which exem-
plifies the enterprise of well known
resident of Scranton. There was to be
a nutting party. The woods abound in
noble chestnut trees, and attempts
have been made to preserve the spoils,
1t is reasonably easy to issue an edict
against the ravages of small boys If
the nuts are located at a distance Of
forty or fifty miles from Scranton, but
squirrels and chipmunks are lament
ably Indifferent to 'trespass" signs, so
the chestnut crop was rather light that
season. The chestnutting party came
off, however, and was a phenomenal
success. The ladies found quantities of
nuts all nicely scattered from the burrs.
1t was not until some time later that
a whisper went the rounds to the effect
that Mr.. A. w. Dickson had surrep-
titiously conveyed thither and flung be-
meath the trees a bushel or two of
chestnuts from the home market, so
that no disappointment would be ex-
perienced as to the results Of the nut
ting expedition.
The lodge is admirably conducted
under the management of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jansen, who look we'll to the comfort
Of the guests. Mr.. Johnson, Mr.. Han
ley's colored caterer, is at the head of
dining room affairs, and is an import
ant factor at the lodge, WHARF he has
been a great favorite sinc4its exist
ence. With an excellent cook and fine
table service the guests find this i'm
portant part of the days pleasure one
of great satisfaction. A house commit
tee, composed of Messrs. w. d. Ken
nedy and Il. j. Foster, look after the
supplies, other than those procured
from the estate.
Among the members added since its
organization are j. H. Torrey, T. j.
Foster, w. d. Kennedy, w. T. Colville,

The Golden Sunset.

The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but a narrow strip between
OF land and shadow lies.
The cloud-like rocks, the rock-like clouds.
Dissolved in glory float,
And, midway OF the radiant flood,
Hangs silently tho boat. .........
The sea is but another sky,
The sky a sea as well,
And which is earth, and which is heaven,
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for us lifes evening hour
Soft passing shall descend,
May glory born of earth and heaven
The earth and heavens blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit float.
With silent rapture glow,
TIL, where earth ends and heaven begins
The soul shall scarcely know.
Samuel Longfellow.

Before Sunset.

In the lower lands of day,
On the hither side of night,
There is nothing that will stay,
There are all things soft to sight,
Lighted shade and shadowy light
In the wayside and the way,
Hours the sun has spared to smite,
Flowers the rain has left TO play.
Shall these hours run down and say
No good thing of thee and me?
Time that made us and will slay
Laughs at love in me and thee,
But If here the flowers may see
One whole hour of amorous breath,
Time shall die, and love shall be
Lord as time was over death.
-Algernon Charles Swinburne.
