How Angelina %Serapbina Was Honored

AAo~ ahSclhhh SeNhpniuh "hh k1OhOEeu
Mollie and Trottie were in such a
state of mind! Here was the carriage
almost at the station, and the awful
discovery had just been made that
Angelina Seraphina had been left at
home. Each little girl had thought
gelina in mammals big trunk, and they
thought they could not go for the sum-
mer vacation with papa and mamma
without taking Angelina Seraphina
along, too. Then papa came to the res
cue. Alfred could drive back home.
after leaving them all at the station,
and very likely he could get back with
her ladyship before the train left. So
away from the station whirled the spir.
tied pair of horses, with the empty,
open carriage, and after it gazed anx-
lously two very troubled little faces. AT
home Norah had found the dolly al
most as soon as the family had driven
away, and when she saw Alfred driv-
Ing ~furiously up the street she knew
what he was after. She met him at
the curbstone with Angelina Sera-
phlna, who was placed in state upon
the rear cushion, with the dark broad
cloth carriage robe drawn up carefully
over her knees. And thus she went
dashing down the street, with Norah
laughing upon the doorstep. That
morning the whole city had turned out
to see the big procession that was to
escort the governor Of the state, who
was passing through the city. Alfred
mad avoided the crowd on his first trip,
but the time was short now, and so he
resolved to take the chance of getting
safely through the crowd by a short
cut. Alas! When almost in sight of
the station, he came down a side street
full upon the procession that was pass
ing along the main ~thoroughfare, the
sides of which were lined with people
hurrying along to keep up with the car
r1ages. The chief marshal, his aids,
and two splendid brass bands had just
passed, when Alfred saw a bit of an
opening between the last of the must
clans and the prancing horses that
drew the governor-elect. Time was
PRECIOUS. MOllle anu lrOttle must not
be disappointed; so Alfred resolved to
slip through the procession. Halfway
through, the crowd surged up in front
of him and blocked the way, and be-
fore Alfred knew how it all came about
he was driving the first carriage In the
big procession, and Angelina Seraphina
was in the place of honor! The station
was just ahead, and the crowds on
either side became denser and denser,
n so it vas that this young lady's
carriage simply had to head the pro-
cession all the rest Of the way! You
should have seen Mollie's and Trottie's
eyes when they saw their beloved An
gelina being thus escorted to the train!
There were broad smiles on the faces
Of hundreds who were looking on, and
even the governor-elect had to smile,
although he, poor man, was being de-
prived Of the honors of the ~occasion!
Angelina, I am pleased to say, bore
herself in a very dignifed manner; but
Alfred's face-well, it would have beer
quite as red as a beet, l am sure, had
not Mother Nature already made it as
black as ebony!-Webb Donnell.

What Made the Direranaa.

The new boy was sitting on a big
stone post at the foot of his drive

Victoria Cleaned Windows.

Here is a funny little story about the
Princess Victoria. One day her mother
took her to visit Queen Adelaide. The
duchess left the little one alone with
the queen for some time, and the latter,
to make the princess feel at home,
said: Now. my dear, you have an
hour to spend with me, and you shall
do exactly as you like"
Exactly as l like?" queried the little
princess in glee.
Eyes," answered the queen, little
thinking what was to follow.
Then, dear Aunt Adelaide" said the
child, may I be allowed to clean the
windows?"
Queen Adelaide was somewhat start
led, but the little one had her way, set
ting to work with sleeves carefully
rolled up and an apron tied around
her waist.

PENNIES.
And the Woes They Cause the Street
Car Conductor,

Car Conductor.
1t was in a suburban trolley last
Sunday that the question of the con-
ductor's reluctance to receive pennies
in change came up again. This penny
question is like Banquo's ghost and
will not down. A woman passenger
had given the conductor a nickel and
five pennies for two fares. "I would
rather change five dollars for you,
madam, than take those pennies" the
conductor said, in a grumbling, yet
perfectly respectful tone. "Why?'
asked the woman. Because the COM
pany will not take them from us. That
Is the only objection I have to railroad
ing. We must turn in nickels or sill
yer when our work is done" "But
why do you not sometimes give those
pennies to men? You always palm
them off on women" well, the wom-
en- always seem to keep them specially
for us. Now, if the public could only
know what a trial they are to us some
times they might understand our re-
l%uctance to take them. For instance,
one of the extras, a man who has been
out of work for a long time, after max
ing he number of trips required of
him found he had fifteen pennies
among his change. He did not have a
cent belonging to himself, and there
was no money at home, and the pay
that was coming to him at the Office
for his weeks work was needed by his
wife and children for bread. They
would not take the pennies at the Office
and he could not draw his pay until
his fares were accounted for. When,
after considerable trouble, he got
three nickels for his fifteen pennies,
end returned to the company's office it
was closed, and he had to go home
without his pay"

And lay a healing touch on sadness;
And sunless hearts, in thrall to woe,
Ffn dolor ringed with gold of gladness.
Or when the fevered brow grows cold,
And rests where seldom footstep passes,
Your lilies peep from out the mold
Like white stars dropped among the
grasses.
Not yours, dear hands, the subtle power
Of waking strings to sweetest rapture
Not yours the painters magic dover
That can the airy fancy capture;
And yet you rule with potent sway,
And hearts obey your lightest gesture,
And eyes beam love, the while you stray
Ger widows cap or baby's vestWe.
God. for thy labor, gives repose,
And heaven holds rest for hands grown
weary.

After the d~eath-swoon, long and dreary,

And every scar from every finger;
When daisies hide you from our sight,,
Still will your sweetness round US lin

Lived on the Sea AL Their Lives.

A<htOp
A little blue-eyed baby girl was
crawling on the cabin deck under an
awning aboard the iron bark Star of
the East as that vessel lay moored at
a pier In New York. Her mother, the
wife of Captain George Norman Rog-
ers, who commands the bark, was with
her child, whom they had named Star
cameron Rogers. Beside the baby was
her sister Margaret, who is 2 years and
3 months old. Little Star was born
ABOARD the bark while the vessel was
nummlng along near the island of iris
tan de Chuna, in the South Atlantic,
on November II, 1898. There was
never a healthier child thar Star. Since
she was born she had been aboard the
park nearly all the time, with the ex-
ception of a short stay ashore at Auck-
land, New Zealand, where the child
was introduced to her grandmother.
when a reporter went aboard, Star had
Just finished her afternoon sleep, and
after her mother had put a white silk
dress on the baby she was held I'D to
De seen. She has a rosy complexion
and a bright smile, and is the picture
OF health. She has Travelled more than
l6,OOO miles since she was born, and
mas been around Cape Horn. Star
never slept in a bed. When she was
much smaller than she is now her
mother took her into her bunk at
night. But on the voyage home the
chlld slept in a canvas hammock. The
more the bark rocked and rolled the
better the baby seemed to like it. The
sailors of the bark are proud of little
star, and say she is their mascot.
Margaret a walk and talk. She is a
regular little sailor. She has been
around the Horn twice, and has made a
voyage around the world. Margaret is
Inherent from Shore" babies. She
does not care for toys. She has some
BLOCKS and other little things with
which to play, but she likes best of all
TO stand at the wheel. Margaret also
sleeps in a hammock. 1t is only during
rough weather that her mother takes
her into her W bunk. Margaret cele-
brated the Fourth Of July by eating
her first orange and her first dish of
strawberries. She did not know wheth-
er h liked the fruit or not.

the st. Joe club in 21-inning game, by
a score of 8 to 4. He held his oppo-
nents down to II hits, made three put
outs, 10 assists and one error. The st.
Joes scored n run in the third, two
in the fourth and one in the twenty
first inning, being BANKED for 16 con-
secutive innings. His record for 1899
with the Baltimore club up to July 10
was 20 victories and six defeats. He
held Boston down to two hits and one
run on April 29, and shut out the New
Yorks on April "a with six hits. On
May 3 he disposed of the Bostons with
four hits and on May II with nine hits.

In China.

According to the laws of good soci-
ETY. in China, young widows should not
remarry. Widowhood is therefore held
in the highest esteem and the older
the widow grows the more agreeable
her position becomes. Should she reach
fifty years, she may, by applying to the
emperor, get a sum of money with
which to buy a tablet on which her
virtues are named. The tablet is placed
over the door at the principal entrance
tn her house.

Appreciate Wagner's Worth.

Hannes Wagner is playing a mag
nlfcent game at third base for Louis

known to every baseball enthusiast in
the country, but many a man will be
surprised when he sees the honest
Dutchman knock down base hits and

But let it be stated right here that
they won't get him, says a Louisville

good thing, and there are whole teams
in the League that could not be traded
for Wagner. The st. Louis club is
making desperate efforts to land him
but something better than Mexican n

In the more densely populated dis
tricts Of Europe the figures fall con-
siderably, Germany having So miles
for each 10000 people. The small in
crease of 3.6 per cent in the total mile
age for the United States is due to the
fact that the years 1898 and 1897 were
among the least active in railroad con-
struction in the history of the country,
the previous decade having been one
of extraordinary increase, over - DOC
miles, or more than half the present
total length of railroads in Great Brit
ain, having been built in a single year.

RAILWAY

The total length of railroad in the
world amounted in 1897 to Asa, 730
miles, and in the five years from 1893
to 1897 the total increase was "a, 4S5
miles, or S.9 per cent. The same year
the total length of railroad in the
United States was 1S2,27S miles, an in
crease in five years of 3.6 per cent.
North and South America and the
West India islands are credited with
over one-half of the total mileage, or
36,21S miles.

Next to the United States among the
great nations is the German empire,
with a total of 20, $3.50 miles, and then
follows France, with 25,673 miles, Rus
STA with 5,003 miles, although, If we
include the transcaspian district of
Russia and Siberia, Russia would come
third with a total of 2S,302 miles. Fol-
lowing France and Russia are Great
Britain and Ireland, 81, 800 miles; Brit
ish India, $1,000 miles; Austria Hun
gary, 20,90S miles; British North
America, 1854 miles; Italy, 9,714
miles, and the Argentine Republic,
9,422 miles. Belgium has the largest
amount Of railroad in comparison with
its total area, the amount being 1922
miles for each square mile of area.
In comparing the countries by the
length of railroad compared with the
amount of population that they serve,
we find that the colony of South Aus
tralia stands first with 52.3 miles for
each 10000 people, this result, of
course, being due to the comparative
sparseness of the population. In the
United States there are 26 miles to each
