WHEN MorHER CANE HOME.

When he heard the clock strike two.

Al the train would soon be due.
His good sister fxed his best blue tie.
Then took from the china bowl
A pipk. Ike one the president wears,
And put Il In his buttonhole-
For mother was coming home.
He ran all the way TO the station.
For fear that he might be late.
But the baggageman smiled and told him
lie had a whole hour 10 wait.
Which made him feel very impatient:
An hour at a station. you know.
Is twice as long as anywhere else
Carl thought Il would never go.
When mother was coming home.
o the days that had been such long. lons
since the mother went to town,
And her boy, somehow. kept seeing
things"
At nlght-time when he lay down.
Then every unkind word and deed
To that dearest one OF all,
When the moon shone in his window
seemed
To be written on the wall
But mother was coming home.
Then his arms he'd throw about her neck
While he kissed her Ger and Ger.
And promise her he'd never make
Her dear heart ache any more
But-what II the train ran off the track
He paced the wide station round.
And In his heart he prayed 10 God
To bring II In safe and sound.
For mother was coming home.
Soon he heard the shrill whistle at tn
bend.
Then the engine plunged IN sight
And the fastest train over the road
Thundered in on time. all right.
When the mother from the chair ca
stepped.
Her dear heart was full OF Joy
To see the glad look upon the face
OF her waiting, loving boy,
Because mother had come home

HISTORY OF THE DONKEY.
In the Far East the Diminutive AMI
NAL Has the Appreciation OF
All Glasses.

The best donleys come from Arabia.
They have clean, smooth coats, hold
their heads high and are used only for
riding purposes. Many are sent to Per-
sia, where they sell for high sums. They
are well looked after and their harness.
ings are of the richest.
In the far east the donkey for cen
turies has received the appreciation Of
all classes. A fine Arab steed, Hsed
solely for the saddle, exists in Syria and
smaller kind is devoted to the use Of
the women when they wish TO ride
abroad.
AS one goes farther east the DON
keys diminish in stature, and in India
the tiny animal called donkey is used
only by the people Of the lower caste.
Europe, Malta and Spain supply the
finest donkeys, and in parts of Italy and
France good specimens may be Sc
cured.
Although the donkey was known in
England in the reign of the earlier Sax
ons, il was not common, for IL became
extinct till the reign of Elizabeth. The
wild origin Of the donkey is supposed
10 have been the koulan or onageri
which exists in herds in Persia and sim
liar lands The skin is used for max
ing shagreen leather. The donkey Is
coming into general favor abroad, and
even America may soon become accus
toned to seeing children driving don
KEY carts or invalids taking a much
needed airing drawn by the patient lit
lie animals, which make good pets anc
are so much less expensive than
pony.

Gold Production. .

A close race is thatin gold production
IN the United States, Australia and
South Africa. Last year the United
States lost the first place, but may be
expected to regain it. The figures for
1898 were: South Africa. ssO,o00,oo0;
Australia, s67,7e2, 900, and the United
States, S65,7s2,667 Australia, like this
country, is getting more gold from low
grade ores, and gold is also obtained
by dredging machinery from the ooze
at the bottom of streams. Australian
gold coins originally had ereenish
tint, but the silver that caused it is now
extracted by q chemical process.
