Mothers His sweetheart.

His mothers his sweetheart-the sweet
est, the best!"
So say the white roses hs brings to my
The roses that bloom when life's summers
depart;
But his love is the sweetest rose over my
heart!
The love that hath crowned me-
a necklace around me,
That closer to God and to heaven hath
bound me!
His mothers his sweetheart Through
all the sad years
His love Is the rainbow that shines
through my tears;
My light is Gods darkness, when with my
dim eyes
L see not the stars in the storm OF His
skies.
When / bow meath the rod
And no rose decks the sod.
HIS love lights the pathway that leads me
His mothers his sweetheart" Shine
bright for his feet,
o lamps on LIES highway! and roses, lean
sweet
To the lips of my darling! and God grant
His sun
And his stars to my dutiful, beautiful one!
For his love-it hath crowned me
A necklace around me,
And closer to God and to Heaven hath
bound me!

VICTORY
BY BERTHA M. CLAY.

II do not see Miss Hastings" she said ut
last, land it is quite useless going to the
avlary without her. l do not remember the
name OF O single bird; and / am sure you
will not care for them"
"But," he returned, hesitatingly, "Sir os-
valid seemed TO wish it,"
There Is the first dinner-bell," she said,
with an air of great relief; there will only
be just time to return. AS you seem solicit
Gus about Sir 0swald's wishes we had better
go in, for he dearly lsves punctuality."
II believe" thought the captain, that she
Is anxious TO get away from ne. / must say

The aspect OF the dining-room, with its
display OF line old plate, the brilliantly ar
ranged tables, the mingled odor of rare wines
and flowers, restored HIM TO good humor.
at would be worth some little trouble"
he thought, Ito win all this"
He took Pauline in TO dinner. The grand,
pale, passionate beauty of the girl had never
shown to greater advantage than 1t did this
evening, as she sat with tho purple and Grim
BON fuchsias in her hair and the broken lily
In her belt. Sir Oswald did not notice the
latter until dinner was half over. Then he
said:
"Why, Pauline, with gardens and hot
houses full of flowers, have you chosen o
broken one?'
ITO me it is exquisite" she replied;
The captains face darkened for q moment,
but he would not take offence. The elegant
~ appointed table, the seductive dinner, the
rare wines, all made an impression on him..
He said to himself that there was a good
thing offered to him, and that a girls naughty
temper should not stand In his way. He
made himself most agreeable, he was all ami
nation, vivacity, and high spirits with Sir
Oswald. He was d%efcrcntisl and attentive
to Miss Hastings, and his manner to Pauline
left no doubt in the minds Of the lockers on
that he was completely fascinated by her.
She was too proudly indifferent, too ~haughti-
" careless, even 10 resent 1t. Sir Oswald
Darrell was too true a gentleman to offer his
niece to any one; but he had given the cap
tain TO understand that, if he could WOO her
and win her, there would b. no objection
raised on his part.
For once in his life Captain Langton had
spoken quite truthfully.
IL have nothing" he said; my father left
me but a very moderate fortune, and ! have
lost the greater part of it. / have not been
careful or prudent, Sir Oswald"
Care and prudence are not the virtues of
youth" Sir Oswald returned. IL may say,
honestly, l should be glad if your fathers
son could win my niece; as for fortune, she
will be richly lowered il | make her my heir
ess. Only yesterday | heard that oJal bad
been found on my Scotch estates, and, if
that be true, it will raise my income many
thousands per annum."
"May you long live to enjoy your wealth,
Sir Oswald y said the young man, so hearth
~ that tears stood in the old baronet's eyes.
But there was one thing the gallant cap
tain did not confess. He did not tell Sir 0s-
wald Darrcll-what was really the truth
that he was over head aud ears in debt, and
that this visit to Darrell Court was the last
hope left to him.

SHE HAD A LOVELY TIME.
The Recreation OF n Stout Lady with o
Flow OF Language.

When the stout lady entered the ele-
waited at Fourteenth street she sat down
on the left-hand seat facing the engine,
touches of finery about her dress, whose
presence was explained when she
caught sight of an acquaintance on the
other side of the car and Immediately
plunged across the aisle and sat down
beside her.
1--WE just been up calling on Lucy
Powers" she began at once. "She used
to live over near us you know and l
promised that as soon as she got back
from her tower I'd run across and see
her and this morning Mrs. Ebler told
me she'd seen her on Broadway over
here and so ] just ragged out aud came
over right away"
She had n large, limp mouth and
when she spoke her lips moved llutter-
ingly like the leaves of "a poplar tree in
a breeze. Punctuation was a useless
arrangement of the grammarian so far
as she was concerned, while her idea of
conversation evidently was that IL was
Il form of social entertainment in which
n person did all the talking.
81 was surprised to find" she ran on,
show cozily Lucy is fixed she has a real
sweet little Hat with real nice furniture
and lots of dainty things scattered about
you know and though it wasn't her call
ing day there were quite a number Of
people very nice people too looking at
the things she had picked up in their
tower curiosities and such things you
know and | got a real nice cup Of choc-
olate though | can't say | like chocolate
in the afternoon | prefer tea don't you I
do"
Il told William I'd call in for him
when | left Lucy's as he wants me to
look ut some underclothing with him
and he never so much as buys n pair of
socks now without first consulting me
which is very complimentary you know
though somewhat trying when you have
SO many other things to look after / de-
clare these cars do make such II row
you can scarcely hear what any one is
saying this is Franklin street isn't il
well good-by dear I'm SO glad to have
seen you come over right soon now
won't you I've had such a lovely time
good-by."
And with this she drove her way into
the string of incoming passengers, leav-
ing her friend with a feeble, imploring
look in her eyes, her mouth partly open,
as though gasping for breath, and her
hands feebly clutching at the air ike

Mrs. Weaver is ~ifty-six years old, and

Churchill is probably no surprise to
those who saw him when he was last in
this city. He was in II condition Of
semi-stupefaction from the use of NOR

He was, it is understood, kept in this

the toxi-neryine, or partly to keep him
from performing the act which we, in
our rude American way, "call giving

tinct sizes for the jacket, skirt and bod

Of color and design. and many are set,
like actual gems, in low mountings of
cut steel and silver or pure gold. Jet,
opal, plomb colored enamel and old
bronze buttons set in riveted points,
framing dainty miniatures, medallions,
etc., are familiar styles, but many of
the expensive jet and cord passemen-

not intended to have any strain upon
them, but merely finish strap ends,

WEIGHTED SILK.

Sometimes Ninety Per Cent of the RIA
terial Is Foreign Substance.
At the present day the practice of
weighing silks by means of astringent
extracts, salts of tin, silicata and phos-
phate of soda and a variety of other
substances, all more er less injurious to
the wear Of the fiber, has reached such
a height that it is seriously affecting
the trade. This is especially the case as
regards black silk, but fabrics Of other
colors suffer in the sau1e iilanner.
1t used to be remarked that silk
dress or q silk handkerchief would last
lifetime, and this is almost true for
absolutely pure silk. But in much of
the fabric sold at the present day there
is not more than 10 or 10 per cent of
real silk, all the rest being extraneous
matter applied to the fiber in the decep
tive process of "weighting."
Pure silk, when burned, leaves a
quantity of ash which is always consid-
erably less than 1 per cent, but the ash
left by some weighted silks has been
found to amount to as much as 4S per
cent OF the weight OF the fabric.
The extraneous substances to which
we have alluded are caused to adhere to
the fiber by passing the skeins through
hot baths Of tannin extracts, tin salts,
salts of iron, antimony, potash, etc. i,
and it has been found that when silk
much charged with such substances is
heated it will not burn with flame, but
will only smolder away, leaving very
large amount of ash behind.
But these weighted silks are, how.
ever, of SO combustible "a nature that
some have been known to take fire spon-
taneously, result due to the gradual
decomposition of the substances used
for weighing, and disastrous fires have
been traced to this cause. Spontaneous
com bustion is liable to break out more
especially in black silks that are stored
in warm, dry places. Jour-
nal.
