A heather sculptor, who had carved
a colossal statue, continued so long at
work upon the crown of the giants
head that his admirers grew imp2-
tient. You are wasting your labor
they said. What need is there that
you should chisel every hair? No one
will eve look so high, and the pains
you are taking will never be appre-
ciated." The sculptor only answered
at must be perfect; the gods can see"
No better argument than the notice OF
Omniscience could be given for OBJ
scure perfection. Flowers come to fin
ished bloom and beauty in wilder
nesses where nc eye Of man ever look
ed. In the conduct of life small per-
fections show character, for they
spring from a higher fidelity than hui
man eye-service, HE that is faithful
in little is faithful also in much"

A Criticism.

"1heSc verses" remarked the elderly
man, have Il very agreeable sound.
But there's too much in them about
running brooks TO strike the popular
chord"
"Rut it's something that most poetry
has in it,"
'If that's the case, it explains why
most poetry is not popular. The pub
lie. just now, isn't caring whether the
brooks run or not. What they want is
TO see the factories get started."-

but from long and faithful service, and
the fact that the girl who had just
thrown herself in such careless grace
at my feet had lost her mother when
almost too young to remember her, l
felt more privileged than perhaps my
position otherwise would explain.
And why not she questioned, in
answer to my protest. Il don't love
him. II hate him."
She was speaking of her cousin Ar
thur, but as she finished, the pretty
head, which had borne itself so de-
family, went down on my lap, and the
burst of tears which followed disa-
roved the truth of her assertion.
No one could have seen the two to-
gether and not acknowledge their fit
ness for each other. Although
but cousins a second time removed. a
faint likeness was ~perceptible, but
Arthur's mouth indicated greater firm
ness, and the will which was so neces-
sary in the encounters between the
two. He was the only one that did not
! give up to Miss Emily. who sometimes
thwarted her, but always so gently, so
tenderly, yet, withal, SO firmly, that l
think herein lay the very secret of his
charm. There was no regular engage
ment between them, but it was an I'M
Outstanding for all that, although half
the young gentlemen in the country
were contestants for the prize, but,
save a little harmless coquetry, she
gave them no encouragement.
/ could but smile as l stroked her
pretty golden-brown hair, while yet her
head lay in my lap, at the very April
shower which was all of grief my dar-
ling had ever known, for, ere I had
quite finished my few words of COM
fort applied l scarcely knew to what
she had once more sprung to her feet
and in a few mon ents l could hear hel
sweet voice carolling through the
halls. Then under my window I heard
the imperative order to the groom;
Saddle Bess, Tom, and bring her
around at once"
She's hardly fit t. ride, Miss, this
afternoon" the man respectfully ans
wered. She's skittish at the best oil
times, and she's been so long unused
I'm most afraid she'd prove too much
for you
"All the BETTER was the reckless
answer. Bring her around at once
CHANGING from my window as the
voices reached my ear, l saw Mr.. Ar
thur sauntering up the walk. He quick
sned his step q little as he overheard
The discussion, saying, very quietly, as
he approached:
Surely, Emily, you will not be SO
rash as to mount Bess today? You
, must not think of such a thing"
The girl turned haughtily toward
him, surveying him a moment in sill
erce; then, as though remark were un.
necessary, turned again to the groom:
do as you are bid, Tom. l will now
dress
Emily, for my sake!" l heard hin
say in a low tone, but the contest o.

ord" she answered. Il shall have
barely time for my ride"
"You must not, Emily; indeed you
must not. My uncle would not wish it,
and in Lis absence l must prevent it.
How dare your she exclaimed,
stamping her little foot. How dare
you speak so to me? If you have even
considered yours the right, it is can

She would be your slave. Give her my

The young mans face flushed holly
and he shrank from the words as from
a blow, but he had no time to answer
for Miss Emily lad already flown pas
him into the house, and | saw him
turn and walk slowly to the stables.
In a few seconds more the groom
brought the prancing animal, holdins
firmly to the bit while Miss Emily
sprang lightly into the saddle. She
seemed such a very feather tc
manage the spirited horse, yet l could
not help the thrill of pride as l watched
the tiny hands bring her into such

A Pacific Settlement.

An unsettled boundary question has
for some years disturbed the relations
of Peru and Bolivia; and the question
assumed a threatening aspect a few
months ago, when Bolivia occupied by
force territory which Peru claims
as her own. Wiser counsels have pre-
vailed, however, and the two republics
have submitted their dispute to the ar
bitration of the Queen Regent of Spain.

One of the greatest storekeepers in
the world has established h he
terms a store cadet school for boys In
his employ. All the boys between GER
tain ages are required to attend, or to
show that they are pursuing studies
elsewhere. The school is held on two
evenings in the week, and on school
evenings supper is furnished free to
the boys. The studies are similar TO
those pursued in business colleges, with
instruction also in physical exercises.
A little more than a year has passed
since Mr.. Wanamaker began the ex-
pertinent in his Philadelphia store, and
the results are encouraging. In addi-
ton to the direct results, there should
be a further outcome-an increase in
the number of those who, though they
have to work for a living, refuse TO
listen TO the thoughtless cry that rich
men universally do not sympathize
with. or sacrifice for the welfare of, the
OOr.

Another Matter.

Strict devotion to the truth is COM
mendable, but it sometimes leads to
curious situations. A young man who
was paying court to a young lady was
thus addressed by her mother, who was
perhaps not the most agreeable person
in the world:
And so you want me for a mother
in-law?"
"Ah-ah, it's n-n-ot exactly that"
stammered the young man, but | don't
see how I can marry your daughter
without your being my mother-in-law."

He Was the First to Discover h Fa-

A supplemented Boer-that is, he
was simple minded at frst-dicover-
ed the famous Wesselton diamond
mines in the most extraordinary man
ner. He had been out on the veldt af-
ter the horses one evening when he
noticed a small animal called a "meer-
cat" scraping away the dirt from it's
burrow. Some popularity of the earth
led him to put some of it into his hand
kerchief, and take it home, where he
examined it that night. To his aston
ishment and delight he found in it a
three-c1rat diamond. Further search
at the ''meercat's'' hole revealed other
diamonds, and before six months had
passed the Dutch farmer had been
offered and refused 50, 800, 900 fer his
farm.

A senator in congress has proposed
an amendment to the rules of the sem
ate. excluding from the chamber former
members of that body who use their
privilege of admission to the floor to
engage in lobbying. Coming from a
person not a member of the senate,
such an implication against former oc-
cupants of seats in the highest legisla-
tive body in the republic might be dis
missed as unworthy Of credence. But
1t is presumable that Senator Hale
knew what he was doing when he pro-
posed the amendment, and If it does
no become a rule, more is the pity.
The foreign demand for good Ameri.

States Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
lately received from the minister OF
war for Belgium an official communi-
cation inauiring if horses suitable for
cavalry service can be purchased in
this country; if so, at what price, in
what numbers and in what localities,
the cost of shipment to the seaboard,
also how bred. Other countries have
sent to America for cavalrv horses
during the past few months. OF course
such animals as are suited for cavalry
service do not command fancy prices.

THE CARE OF SILVER

All silver used entirely for
mental purposes, such as epergnes
(when in use), candelabra, trays of all
kinds, ETC., should be so treated as to
require nothing beyond a regular rub
every SO often with a clean soft
chamois. This is easily done by hav-
ing them properly lacquered, and is a
great addition to their utility and their
appearance. In cities, especially, sill
yer furnishes with fearful r%apidity;
fogs, of course, are fatal, so also is
gas. while sulphur in any form, wheth-
er matches, or eatables, such as eggs,
etc., is absolutely destructive to the
due gloss and brilliancy of the metal.
Another IL of dullness is careless
ness in putting away the silver while
still wet. All plate should be care
fully dried before storing it. More
over, all stains of whatever kind should
be at once attended to, for if left in
for any time they eat into the metal
and require the trained hands Of a sill
versmith before they are fit for use
again.
To remove stains from silver, espe-
cially such as are caused by medicine
or by neglect, use sulphuric acid, rub
bling 1t on with a little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingrained stains, the
pulp of a lemon, whose juice has been
used for lemon squash, may be recon-
mended as both efficient and harmless
Indian silver and brass are always
leaned by natives with lemon or lines
1t may be as well to warn housekeep-
ers in these days, when pretty serving
is such a consideration, that where yor
have to reheat a dish in a silver dish
from which it is impossible to shift the
eatable you should half fill a baking
tin with hot water, then lay a double
sheet of paper in this, and then stant
the silver dish on this, after which
it will take no harm from the effects
of the oven-heat.
Large pieces of silver should b,
wrapped in either green baize, cham
OILS leather, or, at the worst, thicl
f~iannelette, and a little camphor gun
should be always packed up with it
as this is said to preserve the SHIN
mering bloom natural to new silver
which too frequent cleaning destroys
Forks and spoons should be wrapped
I'D in the same way.

GOVERNMENT AT THE MI Els,

The discovery of the Klondyke
mines shows the curious difference
between the Americans and the
Canadians, in the management of
mining affairs. The Canadians,
through the Gold COMMISSIONER
and the police force, survey mining
ground, and apportion it carefully,
and according to the interests of
the States. A police force at once
appears, and maintains order. The
miners are not permitted to carry
firearms. Simple rules are made
and enforced by the public officials
who are entirely independent of the
mining interests.
On the American side, the min
ers largely manage their own affairs
and display singular rapidity in
establishing self-government, The
vital necessity for order makes
every man a policeman over his
neighbor. Valuables may be left
without protection, because every
man knows that the tree and the
rope are always ready. Even in
the great mining camps of the past
the self-government of a local
democracy was singularly efficient
1t had to meet the issue of law and
order, with desperadoes, and it al
ways did it successfully, after the
miners learned the art of i'm
promptu government. 1t was

interest and the police that protect
it are the direct agents of the State,
