The Old Home.
lBy Mrs. E. T. Irwin

lBy Mrs. E. F. Irwin
am sitting tonight in the dear old
home,
Though my treasures all are fled,
And hopes and loves once called nv
own,
Are lying silent and dead,
But through all the changing scenes of
life,
Through all my hearts bitter pain;
My heart still clings to the dear old
home,
For that love was wrought ingram.
Its walls may be low, its floors be bare.
Yet It's ever sacred to me;
Though all my pleasure and all NV
care,
Are ended beneath its roof tree.
Its walls once echoed with boyish glee,
And evenings once filled with song,
But now there's no sound to be heard
And the hours pass slowly along.
We never know how much we are blest,
Till death knocks at our door,
And those we hold in our loving EN-.
brace,
Are called to the other shore.
If God would give me my choice to.
night,
If could have my will,
l would give this world to hear once
more,
The sound Of a voice that is still.

WEDDING RINGS.
Even These Conventional Things CHANG
with Fashion.

The most frivolous woman up to
date is the one WHO followed assidu-
ously all the fashions and fads to an
extravagant and foolish extent. She
so carried this habit to excess that
it extended even to her wedding ring,
was a broad, heavy, oval-topped ring,
the fashions changed and new width
or shape came into favor. says the
New York Herald. When it was first
placed upon her finger the ring was
q broad, heavy, over-topped ring, witt
rather sharp edges. That poor littlt
circle has gone through the fire
enough times to change it into d fiat
ring with square edges, into q per-
fectly round wire. into a half wire.
into a fiat top band with round edges,
and even to eliminate it's identity ems
tirely as wedding ring, and it is now
no moro her original wedding ring
than any other ring which she wears.
But she still calls it her wedding ring,
and her wedding ring is always
N the latest fashion. Whether
she wishes to appear a bride, or
whether she imagines that it will
clip her to appear younger than
he really is. is a mystery. Sho
rerself is scandalized at the very
idea that any one will insist upon
wearing an old-fashioned wedding ring
and expresses great disgust with any
woman who allows herself to be ou
of fashion in this matter. Quite dis
cussion took place on the Hudson river
boat the other day between her amt
another woman who had romantic
ideas concerning her ring and had
never allowed it to be removed from
her finger since it was placed there
by her husband during the marriage
ceremony. considering it q sacred en-
blem, too precious to be removed even
for a moment The frivolous woman,
however, is not utterly devoid of the
proper sentiment about this important
ring. or she would put it away in her
Jewel casket and buy a new wedding
ring with each new style. 1t would
cost less money than to have the old
one done over.

MOUSE on THE MOUNTAIN,
Strange Discoveric. Ny Climbers on ths
Summit of st, Helens,

summit OF st. HelenS.
From the Morning Oregonian: Whel
the vanguard of the recent Mazan,;
expedition to the summit of Mount st
Helens arrived at the top of the noun
tain they moved some of the fragment
of rocks to set at the box containine
the record Of mountain climbers whs
had reached the peak. This disturbed
smouse that had his habitation ~
that desolate spot and to escape from
the men who were taking such unau-
thorized liberties with his home hs
left the two or three square yards OF
rocks and scampsrsd out over the
snow that stretched an unbroken sur
face away on all sides. There he was
easily caught and Charles H. Sholes
brought the timid creature back to
Portland with him. The mouse took
kindly to his new environment and is
alive and Furnishing now, not having
suffered any appreciable discomfort by
the great change in the altitude of his
abiding place. The top of the noun
tain is ncarly 10000 feet above the sea.
The rodent il described as rather large
for a wcni:rGuse, having very large
ears and a very long tail, being the
usual mouse color above and White
underneath. He is active and silent
but watchful. He is believed to be OF
the same kind as the mouse found Q
few years ago on the top e: Mount
Hood. His description has been sen!
to Professor Merriam, who was to h'fc
been the biologist of the expedition
but failed to make connections III
time. If he shall find the little beast
to tie a new mountain climber spe-
cial examination will be made into
his case, and mouse may become fam
Gus and have his portrait in the learn
