A WhOpper.

Seven years ago farmer hung
his vest on the fence in the barn
yard. A calf chewed up the pocket
in the garment, in which was q
standard gold watch. Last week the
animal, a staid old milch COW, was
butohered for beef and the time
piece was found in such a position
between tho lungs of the COW that
the process of respiration, the closing
in and filling the lungs, kept the
stemwinder wound up and the watch
had lost four minutes in the seven
years.--Abbeville Medium.

NEW YEARS IN ROME.
How the King and Queen of ItaI,
Receive Their Guests.

How the King and Queen of Italy
Receive Their Guests.
At Rome the 1st of January assumes
additional importance from the fact
that it is the day on which King Hum
bert and Queen Margherita present an
nual gifts to their relatives and to the
members Of their household, and mas
much as they are both Of them very
generous and seem to-know by intuition
just what will give most pleasure to the
recipients the festival at the court of
the Quirinal is characterized by an ap-
pearance of infinitely greater enjoyment
and happiness than obtain either at
Vienna or at Berlin. The king and
queen stand on the dais under the
canopy in front Of their chair Of state in
the throneroom to receive with due for
mality the various parliamentary, mill
tary, judicial and administrative dele
cations commissioned to lay at the feet
of their majesties the good wishes Of the
various bodies which they represent.
But as soon as this is over the king
begins to stroll about the various apart
ments, and good deal of freedom and
abandon prevail until the supper hour
is announced. The royal party then
march in procession to small supper
room and with the ambassadors and
their wives take their places at tables
adorned with that magnificent golden
plate for which the house Of Savoy is SO
famous, while the remainder Of the
guests rush pellmell and in very un
dignified fashion to the buffets, which
are literally taken by storm and quickly
devastated, as far as everything in the
nature of food or drink is concerned.

Stories of George Eliot.
ABSOLUTELY PURE


Mrs. Gen. Porter Das just had printed
memoir of her father, John Black
wood, the founder of the famous mag
azine that bears bis name. Here are
two stories of George Eliot, the great
novelist:
"On one occasion, when we were
calling on her that summer, she said
she was very anxious about the safety
of the manuscript of "Deronda.' ard
wanted to have it back, but dared
not trust it to the postoffice. My father
said he could not bring it himself next
day, but could send it by trusty mes
senger (;Ee footman.) At this she
quailed. 'Oh, he migGt stop at pub
lie house and forget it, We assured
her such d lapse had never been known
to occur. Then might he not, if he
were the sort of high-minded Bayard
we described, be very likely to stopand
help at fireP' This was contingency
we had never contemplated, and finally,
after IL uch laughter, we promised her
that some member Of the family should
place the manuscript in her hands; and,
as matter of fact, think my mother
drove over with it to her next morn
ing.,,
As to the impression George Eliot
made on her father, Mrs. Porter writes:
"rhe impression was that of per-
son beyond all things kindly and SYM
pathetic. ever ready to be amused and
interested in all that concerned her
friends. Her sense of humor, too was
extremely keen, and my father, re-
member, always made her laugh. The
pondelosity of her conversation, and
difficulty of making any way with her,
of which some visitors have complained,
must, we think, have bsen caused by
their selecting topics not really congen-
ial to themselves simply because they
we're talking to George Eliot, scaling
heights that were beyond them, and as
a result getting crushed by solid ava
lanche of learaing.o

THE DAWNlNG OF THE YEAR.

When the snoWf1akes of December robe
the earth In spotless white,
And the stars in dazzling beauty decorate
the wintry night,
We watch the old year vanish like q
ghost into the past,
To the music of the sleighbells and the
dirges of the blast.
I've bless it for its kindness and we sigh
above its dead,
Across the heart graves 1t has left most
solemnly we tread;
But we turn with hope and gladneSs as
we brush away tear
To pleasures which still hidden lie with
in the glad New Year.
When it dawns in all It's glory we shall
put the past away,
And, trusting in its coming, greet its
bright. initial day.
The sun will burst In grandeur on the era
that it brings,
And loves unknown today VIII touch the
hearts melodious strings.
Oh, when it breaks upon the world may
every mist depart,
And may its bells ring joyously In every
human heart;
For everywhere on land and sea the mil
lions wait to cheer
The banners which In splendor wave
above the glad New Year.
I can almost see its footsteps in the soft
and fieecy snow
And hear it's wondrous anthems as its
bells swing to and fro,
For Father Time is standing 'twixt the
new year and the old,
He rings for one parting dirge, for one
the chimes of gold.
Aye, In the crisp, clear night he stands,
smile upon his face,
And wishes joy, the while he rings, for
all the human race;
For In the sweet tones Of the bells what
heart can never hear
The promises of peace that crown the
daWning of the year?
