a Hatfuil of Pearls

From Golfers Weekly.
 The wit of Benny Lind was as charming In it's way as her voice. On the occasion of her second rehearsal at the Paris opera house, Lablache. the famous singer, was entranced with her voice. Hurrying up to her he said enthusiastically:
 Give me your hand, mademolselle! Every note in your voice is q pearl!'
 ,sFGive me your hat replied Jenny Lind with d playful smile.
 Lablache handed the hat to her. Putting is to her mouth, she gave one of her matchless trills and birdlike snatches of song.
 'aThere," she said, smiling at the de- lighted Lablache as she returned his prop erty, lis a hatful of pearls for you, mon- sieur."

Would Be One Among Many.

Enterprlsing foreigners desiring tc
enter into matrimonial relations with
American women would do well to
ponder on the case of Count Matte
Llewen Stierngranat, son of the cham
berlain of King Oscar of Sweden, who
is now in Jail in New York city on a
charge of breach of promise preferred
by young lady of wealth and position
The count is good example of the no
Bile foreigner who cometh to Columbia
to seek a bride and a fortune. He was
arrested two weeks ago at the suit OF
Miss Lesbia NJ. Boswick, who alleged
in her petition that she had reason to
believe that the count was about to
sail for Sweden, and not marry her, as
he had promised. The count was i'm
mediately arrested and, being unable to
give $500 bail, was committed to jail.
The count is a tall, handsome-look-
ing young man Of 81 years, and has all
the appearance Of a gentleman born
and bred. 1t is evident that he does
not consider the offense a particularly
heinous one, and is more surprised at
the Incarceration than concerned as to
his fate. He explained to the justice
before whom he was arraigned:
81 was not aware that 1 was obliged
to marry her simply because had be-
come engaged. 1t was my impression
that I could become engaged to as
many girls es I desired, and did not
necessarily have to marry any Of them
until 1 had really found that one had
suited me best
He was Informed that although such
might be the custom in Sweden it
could not go in America, and reserved
his decision. His father is one Of the
richest and most influential men on the
Scandinavian peninsula and, although
it is improbable that $4,000 will be
paid over to the unhappy lady whose
affections the stalwart Swede has
stolen, he will undoubtedly be made to
pay dearly for his presumption.

fort in hairdresaing is to have the
hugest frowning frontlet Of a pompa-
dour possible, and deliberate balloon
like effect behind. A series of combs
and a system of rats are the necessary
apparatus for the erection; of such stud
led artificiality, and few women bother
any longer to wave and curl The
pompadour is best when it rolls back
quite smoothly, but the back hair Is oc-
casionally crfmped a little and then
what is left of hair ends for coiling Is
drawn up into a small roll or close
Psyche knot on the crown. Untidy as
SO out of 700 of these puffy heads are,
the effect of loose billowing hair about
the face is almost sure to be becom-
ing. Then both blouse and pompadous
rolls are used as pincushions in small
way for more or less ornamental hair
brooches. During the day, when shop
ping and calling, little wreath of gold
set with colored stones, the whole af-
fair no bigger than a twenty-five-cent
piece, is considered sufficient, but at
night, really splendid ornaments gilt
ter and CLEAN in the fluffy globe of

Conductor Laughed Last.

Some bright young men are employed
on the street railways of Massachu-
sets. 1t was with the hope of april
fooling" one of them, says the Brock
ton Enterprise, that his girl friends"
borrowed dressmakers dummy. They
clothed it becomingly, and at the prop
er moment stood it behind a pole. with
one of its hands outstretched as if to
stop the car. The motorman unsus-
pectingly stopped, and the conductor
waited for the passenger to get aboard.
AS there was no apparent movement,
the conductor swung his head round
the corner and inquired If the lady
wanted to take that car. At this point
there was a scream of delight from
nearby house, and chorus Of female
voices rang forth .cheerily in april
fool!' The conductor never changed
expression. He stepped from the car,
carefully lifted the dummy aboard, and
off they went. Upon his return trip
he found some young ladies with seri-
Gus faces waiting for him. "You must
return that DUMMY" declared one Of
them, in fearful voice. I'VE Dor
rowed it, and have got to return it."
That's nothing to do with me- re-
piled the conductor, cheerfully. Eve
taken the lady to Bridgewater and
back, and if you want her, there is
twenty cents in fares to be paid" Ap-
peals were vain, and at last, in des-
peration, the fares were settled and the
dummy returned. Even the young
ladies' acknowledge there Is a question

A Memory.

Slowly fades the misty twilight
Ger the thronged and noisy town:
Storms are gathered in the distance,
And the clouds above it frown.
Yet before me leaves sway lightly
In the hushed and drowsy air,
And the trees new-clothed in verdure
Have no summer of despair.
have gazed into the darkness,
Seeking in the busy crowd
For a form once passing onward
With a step as firm and proud;
For face upturned in gladness
To the window where 1 leaned,
Smiling with an eager welcome,
Though a step but interviewed.
Even now my cheek is flushing
With the rapture of that gaze,
And my heart as then beats wildly.
Oh. the memory of those days
As dear, dear dream il cometh,
Swiftly as dream it fiiesI
No one springeth now unto me,
Smiling with such earnest eyes
No one hastens home at twilight,
Watching for my hand to wave:
For the form I seek so vainly
Sleepeth in the silent grave;
AND the eyes have smiled in dying
blessing me with latest life
On, my friend! above the discord
" the last, wild, earthly strife.

The Right of All Mankind

The great idea that the Bible is the
history of mankind's deliverance from
all tyranny, outward as well as in
ward; of the Jews, as the one free
constitutional people among a world
of slaves and tyrants; Of their ruin, as
the righteous fruit of voluntary re-
turn to despotism; of the New Tesla
ment, AS the good news that freedom,
brotherhood, quality, once conf1ded on
ly to Judea and to Greece, and dimly
seen even t. ere, was thenceforth to be
the right Oh all mankind, the law of
all society-who was there to tell me
that? Who is there now to go forth,
and tell it to the millions who have
suffered and doubted and despised like
me, and turn the hearts of the dis
obedient to the wisdom Of the just,
before the great and terrible day of the
Lord come? Again I ask-who will go
forth and preach that gospel and save
his native 1and?-Charles Kingsley,

For this mix half pint of milk, the
juice of two lemons and the yolk of two
eggs, and pour it all on to half a pint
of freshly made bread crumbs, the
grated rinds of the lemons and two
ounces of moist sugar; then pour it all
into a well-buttered shallow pie dish,
either with or without an edging of
pastry, and bake. An ounce or SO of
butter melted into the milk is to many
people an improvement, though not

he yields tho point, and fairly wears
them out by his courtesy. And with
what result? Did they think him
poltroon, whom they could trample
over? At the last they came meekly
and asked to enter into covenant with
him, declaring they never meant him
a bit of harm, or did it either. He
was manifestly the conqueror through
his patience and his courtesy, in which
they began to see something divine,
and they hurried to make terms with
him. His quietness under wrong-do-
ing was too much for their clustering
quarrelsomeness, as it always will be
if man has the heroism for it. The
greatest of conquests was that by the
one who gave his cheek to the smiter.

Going with or Against the Crowd.

Going with Against the Crowd.
1t is good thing to go with the
multitude when one can do so with
good conscience. It is better to be in
harmony with ones fellows than to
quarrel with them, if peace and right
eousness can be harmonized. And It
is mistake to cultivate differences
about small matters, and thus need
lessly weaken their respect for our
judgment. But, as this world is con-
st1tuted, it is not always possible to
escape the necessity Of dissent and re-
s1stance to the judgment of the null
t1tude. The only multitude that ever
rises to the highest level Of truth and
Righteousness is "the great multitude
which no man could number" which
John sees before the throne Earthly
crowds commonly rise no higher than
the lower average of sentiment and
opinion in their own ranks They are
liable to the contagion Of fear. hatred,
and other passions. Even the good
people among them are not always at
their best, and have to be on their
guard against following multitude
to do evils. S. Times

THE POETS SONG.

A bird Of richest song flew out
And piped his carol full Of cheer,
And long he winged his way about,
But few would wait his song to hear.
With sorrow, in his lonely nest,
He hid his sweet song in his breast.
But some had heard that song Of joy;
1t came and soothed the pangs of pain,
Gave hope where doubt rose to destroy;
Despairing souls tried once again.
It lifted hearts all tempest tossed
That song, though stilled, was never lost
A poet, no one knew him then,
Sang out his carol full of cheer,
OF hope and faith and love for men,
But few would wait his song to hear.
The poet He is deadi But yet
The songs he sang no hearts forget.

It Is world Of seeming;
The changeless moon seems CHANGING

The sun sets daily, but sets never;
So near the stars, and yet so far,
So small they seem, SO large they are!
1t is a world Of seeming.
And so it seems that she is dead,
Yet so seems only; for, instead,
Her life has just begun, and this
Is but an empty chrysalis,
While she, unseen to mortal eyes,
Now wins her way in brighter skies
Beyond the world Of seeming.

At first prayed for Light.
Could 1 but see the way,
How gladly, swiftly, would walk
To everlasting day!
And next 1 prayed for Strength,
That 1 might tread the road
With firm, unfaltering feet, and win
The heavens serene abode.
And then 1 asked for Faith.
Could 1 but trust my God,
I'd live EMBODIED in His peace,
Though foes were all abroad.
But now 1 pray for Love,
Deep love to God and man;
A living love that will not fail,
However dark His plan.
And light and Strength and Faith
Are opening everywhere!
God only waited for me till
I prayed the larger prayer,
