head of Commodore Dewey, with the
following inscription: THE gift of the
people of the United States to the Of
ficers and men of the Asiatic squadron
under the command of Commodore
George Dewey" Upon the reverse,
surrounded by the words, I'm memory
of the victory of Manila Bay, May l.
1885," is the inquire of a young sailor,
stripped to the waist, who sits upon a
gun, with the flag across his knees, and
one foot resting upon swinging loop
OF rope. In this beautiful figure Mr..
French has admirably embodied the
genius of the episode in its highest ana
purest aspect-the spirit of the fleet,
such as ones Imagination may picture
1t to have been on that memorable
morning, and also the spirit of the
country on whose behalf it was going
into action. The chief characteristic
of the face is youth-the beauty, conf
dence, and pure intention of youth. In
the pose of the figure are alertness,
fearless uprightness, and the uncon-
scious grace and composure of assured
strength. The very disposition of the
flag is suggestive. The moment repre-
sented is not the one of victory, but Of
preparedness thereto. The flag is not
menace to the world, nor under the
pretext of its name is policy of ag-
grandizement foresnadowed. 1t is safe
in the keeping of Young America, and
when the cause is right it will be up
lifted. Its placing in the circle secures
an admirable balance between the
varied portions and the fiat ones very
enjoyable to the eye. The strong hori-
zontal bar formed by the cannon, low
down in the space, lifts up the 1.-the
figure of the youth, and gives it dig
nifty and sense of size very difficult TO
obtain in so small compass. Again,
the poise of that foot upon the rope
observe how exquisitely sensitive it is!
brings into the narrow space at the
bottom an interest and distinction
which make 1t contribute to the deco
ration of the whole. Lastly, the whole
possesses that quality which is such
charm of low relief-"enveloppe" as
the sculptors call it. Atmosphere is,
perhaps, our nearest English word;
the pattern of the decoration is not one
merely of light and dark, but of several
degrees of light and several degrees of
dark. as If viewed through varying
planes of atmosphere. The result is,
though, not hard and gritty. but lu-
minOuS rich and yelyety -Harper's

SOME FUNNY ANSWERS.

A certain school teacher, whose
sense of humor is developed to a re-
markable degree, goes to the trouble
occasionally, of writing down for her
own use some of the funniest an
swers which she finds in her examina-
ton papers. By especial favor, says a
writer in the Syracuse Post, l have
been allowed to use a few of the an
swers which she made note Of
Here they are:
The stomach is the most Diluted
portion of the elementary canal"
Hygiene is all that you can tell
about that which is asked"
"The doctrine of evolution began
with the beginning of life, and grew
higher and higher, until it regenerated
into monkey. This process was slow
so slow that neither the monkey
nor the man knew anything about it. y
"A germ is name applied to a par
ticular particle, tiny subbacterial or
ganism, which, when demonstrated
causes disease"
"a germ is tiny insect or bug
sometimes found in diseases or or
gans; that is why diseases are con-
tagious. 1t is so small that it can
be seen only with a telescope. Then
it appears like the head of pin, but
it goes floating around into the atmos-
phere."

CHAPTER XII.

Queens Chace was unusually gay.
Outside in the deep woods the snow
lay thick and white, the evergreens
stood out like huge sentinels, the
dainty laurel-leaves held little nests
Of snow, the fir raised its head with a
stately air, for King Christmas never
came in without 1t.
Lord Alton had arrived, and was so
engrossed with his fair young love that
Lady Brandon had ceased to expect
anything from him. He had been, like
every one else, alarmed when he saw
Veronica. Her pale, shadowy lowell
ness had startled him, and many of
the whispered words between Kathe-
rine and himself were about her.
On that Christmas night she looked
more fragile and more beautiful than
ever. She was sitting watching
Katherine's bright fact, flushed into
greater brightness by her lovers
words, when one of the footmen, com
ing to her. said in mysterious under
tone:
You are wanted, Miss Di Cynthia"
Wanted" she repeated. Where
Who wants me?"
Il cannot say, miss-some one who
has a message for you; some one who
is waiting for you in the library
Veronica had some poor pensioners
to whom, on this Christmas day, she
had been most liberal; it was one of
these come to thank her, no doubt.
She was surprised to find the room
badly lighted. There was a rudy
glow of freight, and one lamp was
burning dimly; but it was a large
long room. and the other half of II
was full of soft, dark shadows.
She entered and stood for some
minutes in silent expectation; there
was no sound, no movement. and she
never glanced to where the soft, DARK
shadows lay The red freight fell
/ full upon her fragile beauty. on the
slender figure and the white wasted
arms; on the beautiful, passionate
restless face, and the rubies that
cleaned on her white throat. Presently
| from where the dark, soft shadows
lay came sigh. She looked up.
Who Is that?" she demanded. lis
any one here-any one who wants 70

Then she stopped abruptly and stood
rooted to the ground, low cry on her
lips and pain as bitter as death in
her heart. Surely figure she knew
was coming to her from out the soft.
dark shadowsl She held up her hands
as though to ward off an evil presence.
and then they fell by her side as she
uttered low, passionate cry.
II was he-she had made no mis-
take-it was Marc Caryll, the man she
loved better than her life, the man
whose stern decision was killing her.
They stood in the red glow Of the fire.
light, looking at each other; but she
saw there was no sternness in his face
nothing but passionate love.

HER ONLY SIN

BERTHA M. CLAY.

dearly love the mace"
Now tell me about your love-" said
Veronica.
What can tell you, dear, save that
my love and my life are one-that |
have no thought, or wish, or desire,
that does not begin and end in Alton.
Now, has that comforted you?"
Yes, more than anything you could
have said You could have thought
of nothing that would have comforted
me one half so much. You will leave
me now, Kate--I am better for your
coming. dear-and when we meet
again all will be forgotten except that
we love each other"
1t had not been in vain then; the
sun of her life had set in darkness
and gloom, but she had made one al
least happy. So the past was men
toned no more. She tried to bear heI
life. She never complained. She was
like a devoted daughter to Lady Bran
don. She was the most loving of sis.
tiers to the young heiress. But day Jy
day she grew more and more sad; she
grew pale and thin; she began to hope
that Heaven would take pity on her
and let her die soon
So the winter months came round
and at Christmas preparations were
begun for the marriage Of the young
heiress. Lady Brandon had invited
large circle Of guests, and one oil
them, not knowing of the recent con-
tretemps, having just returned from
Spain, spoke of Sir Marc Caryll, and
said he was going to take up his resi-
dence abroad.
Veronica overheard it. She did not
! speak: the lonely face grew paler,
and a mist of unshed tears dimmed the
beautiful eyes; but soon afterwards
she went to Lady Brandon's room,
her marvellous self-control gone at
last. She stood before her with a
look that Lady Brandon never forgot.
You must let me go away" she
said, II cannot remain here. l cannot
bear 1t. You must let me go to
Venice to die"
Then she wept as she had never
wept in her life before, as one who
had no hope-wept until Lady Bran
don was alarmed and she herself was
exhausted. Then Lady Brandon said
to h0I:
You shall go; | will take you. You
shall go to Venice or where you will;
only wait-wait for my sake until
the wedding is over"
So for the sake of the woman who
had influenced her so strongly she
waited. but 1t seemed to her and to
every one else that those days brought
her nearer death.

are cared for, but the poor horses are
left to die in agony"
The horse enters into the spirit of
a Dattle like a human being. He
shows no fear of death and no sign OF
panic in all the wild tumult of the bat
ties din. A horse in one of the bat
teries in the Murfreeboro fight had his
skull split by piece of shell SO that
one side was completely loosened. The
driver turned him loose, but he walked
up to the side of the gun agiu watched
the firing, following the shots with his
gaze as If to note their effect on the
enemy. When he saw the team he had
worked with being driven back for am
munition he ran to his old place and
galloped back with the rest, and when
an officer pushed him aside to have an
other horse put in he gaZed at the new
| conner with most sorrowful express
sion in his eyes. Then, seeming to
realize that the glory of battle was no
more for him, he walked slowly away,
lay down and died. The officer3 who
owned him declared that it was not the
wound but a broken heart that killed
| him.
Some time ago firemans horse was
sold to secondhand furniture man,
and one day as he was coming down
the street with load the signal gong
rang in the engine-house he just hap
| pened to be passing. The old horse
had been going at the pace of nag,
but there was change now, and the
driver picked himself up from the
ground only to see his steed disappear
ing around the corner at breakneck
speed, with bureau drawers and chairs
flying and littering the street. The
animal shot like meteor ahead of the
flying fire brigade selected hydrant
and backed what was left of the wagon
up against it. The driver came pant
ing up to the spot, and as the horse
eyed him it's face broke into a positive
grin-which goes to prove that the
equine species are not without sense
of humor.-New York Tribune

STORIES OF ANIMALS.
Illustrating the Sense of the Elephant
and the Horse.

From the huge elephant to the tiny
ant the entire animal kingdom offers
stories and facts which would enlist
the sympathies and engage the in
terests of the human being, who has,
in quaint, old-fashioned speech, do
minion over them"
In the whole animal creation there
is not to be found a creature more in
telligent, more easily managed or more
likely to become the friend OF man
than the elephant. The natives of In
dia, recognizing this, treat him with
veneration and respect, but, on the
other hand. the ferocious brutishness
of the African negroes, melted by the
criminal eupidity of Arab and Euro
pean ivory merchants, transforms into
a savage beast an animal best suited
by nature to be mans associate.
The question of the day in Belgium
IS the protection of African elephants
in the Congo Free State, for at the
present rate of merciless slaughter the
race will become totally extinct in less
than ten years.
A Hindoo hunter was once known to
have become so fond of an elephant
which he had caught and tanned that

for the sake of the ivory he allowed
himself to live in penury.

the late iron chancellor of Germany
Bismarck, while still a raw university
student, was staying in the mountain
regions of the Tyrol, near Ultenthal,

young peasant girl. He offered to

his marriage should not take her from
