The wheel is apparently coming to stay,
For lassics as we'll as for laddies-
But sorry We are for it's taking away
The old-fashioned games Of our daddies.
The children have wearied of flying their
kites,
The shooting of marbles is over;
Gay 'lcap-frog' will never give any de-
lights
And par is no longer in clover.
On stills little fellows won't think they
arc tall,
And tops they will never be spinning,
And as for the amateur game of baseball,
No more will it give us an inning.
The round iron Quoits will no longer be
tossed,
And tag, dear old tag, has been ban
ished,
While duck on the rock is an art that is
lost
And riding duck" also, has vanished.
Forgotten, alas! is old "ball in the holes"
The loopie we never will gracefully roll,
And "cat" is no longer u passion.
Hide and seek" doesn't enter in anyone's
mind,
For 'cricket" nobody is wishing;
Snap tile whip has departed, and %
We will find
No pleasure in going a-fishing.
"Copenhagen'' in spite of it's kissing, is
done,
"Mumblepeg" is not worthy of notice.
And bold ''stunting master" the little
ones shun
AS much as a hot mustard poulticc.
81 spy" "wolf" and follow your leader
have passed,
"I1are and hounds" is as fiat as the
ceiling,
And rowing and sailing are leaving us
fast,
For nothing is thought Of but wheeling.
The only old sports that may linger
around
Are shedding and snow forts and skat-
ing,
For when it is cold and there's snow OH
the ground
The wheel is way off in it's rating.
The cycle has come and is likely to stay,
For lassies as we'll as for ladies.
And sorry we are, for they never will play
The old-fashioncd games of their dad
dies

Jubi ee Stamp.

There is n curious complication in re-
gard to the stamps that We're issued to
commemorate the diamond Jubilee.
They were proposed by the Duke Of
York. We're engraved and issued by the
treasury department, but the postotice
department declined to recognize them
tor postal purposes because the pro-
cecds of their sale were to be devoted
to the hospital fund Of the Prince ef
Wales. The edition was comparatively
small and the plates were destroyed by
the Duke of York in the Bank of En-
gland the other day. While they lose
much of their value to collectors he
causc they were rcpudiated by the post
master general and cannot be used for
postage. it is predicted that they will

THE NEW coNeREssMAN's WIFE

How the Spouse of the Old Member
Wounds CIR Cruelty.
The new congressional wife is a fen.
turc of each new administration, says
Leslie's Weekly. She 1t is who keeps
Washington social life from growing
stale; she it is who keeps the bubble of
enthusiasm constantly rising; she 1t is
who lends novelty. who comes as 81 nov
ice satisfied with the hOnors of her dis
trict. lending herself to the discipline
and growing nov and then into the
great social leader. the diplomat, the
power behind the throne. The evolu-
tion of the congressional wife is always
attended with interest to the student
of human nature. She comes to Wash
ington all radiant with happiness and a
sense of conquest; she has victory
perchcd upon her bonnet and she treads
the air While her pulses beat to the
tune of the soul-song in her heart. She
is the conscious pOSScSsOr of a husband
in Congress. AS a woman she is adorn-
ed with sterling traits of character. She
is a devoted wife and II loving mother
and the chances are that she is the one
to whom the new member owes his
greatness. 1t is her consciousness of
this fact, perhaps, that puts her in love
with all the world. She is generous;
she drives no hard domestic bargains;
she believes in the size of his yearly ill.,
come and she ri no more conceive of
the possibility of her congrcssman's de-
feat in another two years than she can
memorize the tariff bill. She believes
that. within the next two years. the
whole world will recognize his superior
intelligence, just as his district has
done.
The new members wife haunts the
family gallery, where she can see him.
1t surprises her when no one applauds
he enters. They always applaud
him at home. whatever he does. She
finds n congenial spirit in the gallery
IN the person of another new members
wife and they talk over the late cam
paign. Each describes the audacity
of the opponent who ran against her
husband and they compare notes and
agree. Then they make the acquaint-
ance of nm 'old' members wife. "Old"
is superior to ''new." They discover
this as she smiles and listens quietly to
the story of the battle each husband
won so easily over the nobody that dar-
ed to oppose him. The old members
wife watches for a chance to put in her
knife and quietly mentions how the old
member defeated the smartest, braini-
est politician in the land and that the
fight was worthy of the hero.
The wife of the new member is no
fool: she feels keenly the knife thrust
hy that old members wife and the lat
ter is never forgotten. The new men,
ber's wife never fights that campaign
" again. She is silcnced.

MAN DANGEROUS.
Statistics Show He Is Apt to Commit
Crime at 90.

~
1t is a singular fact, yet one sui
Stimulated by statistics, that most
crime is committed in New York by
men twenty-nine years old. This is
not only true Of the lesser but also Of
the greater crimes, although a man is
presumed to be Mt that period of his
life not only in the zenith of his phys
ical, but also in full and complete pos
session Of his mental powers, with a
complete appreciation of right and
wrong and their respective conse-
quences. This condition is n problem
which has not been solved by the stu
dent Of criminology, and M which is
made the more complex by the fact
that the ages Of twenty-one, twenty
seven and forty-tive years nearly equal
1T, with the intervening years showing
n far less percentage of crime. It is
indeed peculiar that the criminal ten
dency should be SO strong ut twenty
nine, with 40 such inclination, so far as
criminal statistics show, in us great a
degree for the succeeding sixteen
years, and then another outburst Of
the animal in man. This condition is
found to be true by actual figures, and
as all statistical computations ut which
average conditions are sought to be de-
termined are arrived ut by this method,
so may the student of this subject, as
well as the insurance magnate who
bases his rates OF the general e
age of losses in proportion to the risks
taken, and does so with full safety,
employ it in solving the problem before
him. Charles X. Baker, chief clerk to
Superintendent Latlrop of the New
York bureau of statistics, has made this
subject IL of close study, and will
soon have completed n table showing
this to be true. He has already COM
pleted one relative to murderers serv-
ing life sentences in the penal institu-
tions, and its figures bear out the gen
cral conclusion. He offers ut this time
no explanation for this. but hopes after
lie has exhausted the subject, SO far as
the presentation of figures is con-
cerned, to he able to set forth reasons
why these years should be productive
of the most crimes.

A Simple F re Extingnisher.

Hand-grenades, the simplest form of
6rc-eXtinguisher, can be made at home
chcaply and easily. And it is well to

He Kmles ana so.rows.

Ftw mOnarchS have had to undergo
so many sorrows-public and private
as the Emperor Franz Joseph of Aus
tria, and no one has vel borne misfOr-
tune with greater courage. In his fam
lily he lost his tirst-horn, IL daughter.
whom. though she died a little child.
he is said never to have forgotten. His
next brother, the Emperor Macmillan.
was executed in the prime of life by
the MeXicans. The fate of his only son
is too tragic for more than an allusion.
In later days he has lost another
brother; a granddaughter clipped with a
young officer; his wife is in bad health;
Ibis nephew and heir is an invalid and
the next prince in the line of success
sion is n s%capegrace.
His public life has been one Of inccs-
SAINT toll and danger. In the early part
of his reign he suffered severely from
the dagger of a would-be assassin. He
waged var unsuccessfully with the
French in 1859 and with the Prussians
in 1866. He has been ousted from Ger
many, over which he once presided,
and of which he formerly hoped to be
emperor, as his forefathers were. And
yet, in spite Of such defeats, no prince
is more beloved by his subjects. In
deed, his personality is the chief bond
by which his heterogeneous dominions
are kept together.
Recently the emperor completed his
9th year. Els imperial and royal
majesty was placed on the throne in
the revolutionary year of 1s4S. when
his uncle Ferdinand abdicated, and his
father declined to take up the burden
of the crown. In point Of seniority as a
sovereign he is second to Queen VIC
toria alone.
