The Moose.

When the rains and sunshine of late
March aud early April have lowered and
crumbled the snow, so that travelling
again in possible, the moose and deer
leave their Yards to range the woods,
feeding eargerly on the expanding buds
and green plants that first appear in
woodlands. The moose sheds his ordly
antlers, and thereafter, until the autum
finds them renewed, keeps himself in re-
tirement, stunning the company of his
own kind and all other creatures. Dur
ing the summer, while his budding new
horns are yet in velvet, he lies secreted
by day in some dense thicket, coming
out at night to the still water reaches of
stream and lake to feed upon ily-pads
and aquatic grass. Here he remains
through the hours of darkness standing
or lying in the water, or swimming, per-
haps, long distances to fresh feeding
grounds. The COW moose and her calf
are less wary, so lar as fear of man is
concerned, bcing protected by law from
the hunters rifle at all seasons, but there
are enemies in the shape of hungry bears
and wild cats that compel her vigilantly
to watch over her calf and sometimes to
fight for its safety. She seems fully to
realize her immunity from danger from
man, and often displays great indiffer-
ence to his presence. Throughout the
summer she stays much of the time in the
water Of still streams and coves in lakes
where grass and Iily-pads grow, with
her calf lying in concealment on the
bank, but never so lar away but that
she can come promptly to its rescue il

In Praise of American Women.

at is interesting to note that the be-
ginning of the closer intimacy and friend
ship between English and American So
ciety really originated in a great calamity
that betell the United States" says a
writer in THE London Daily Telegraph"
ut dates from the wounding OF Presi,
dent Garfield by his assassin and the
long and painful illness that preceded his
death. During that trying period the
tender and womanly sympathy evinced
by the Queen toward the stricken head
of the great republic touched the Ameri-
can people very deeply. The friendly
feelings engendered by it have continued
to develop and promise to grow into
something that will permanently affect
the cordiality of the relations subsisting
between the English and American peo-
piles. No part of the population of either
country is more anxious that this should
be so than the American colony in Lon
don. 1t is fitting that the women Of
England and America should come more
and more together. WHY is it, said an
American woman in London the other
day, that most of you English people
will persist in taking the noisy young
woman of eighteen or twenty, who stays
alone at hotel and is her own protec-
tor and chaperon, as the typical Ameri-
can grip Probably the easiest reply
would have been to say that the real
Americans are so quiet and ladylike that
they attract no attention, and that the
pushful hotel young woman was taken
as the real representative OF her country
women. 1t would not have been, how
ever. fitting answer. There is no such
thing as commonplace American women.
Their cleverness, wit and bright wo-
manly qualities make them conspicuous.
They aim at being real, helpful COM
panions to their husbands and brothers.
Perhaps that is why they have the best
time of any women on earth. They have
earned the position they enjoy in the
estimation OF their men folk, which made
Max O'Rell declare that if he had any
future reincarnation to undergo he would
beg the Great Ruler of the universe to
make him an American woman"

A rlOund Builders Grave.

While excavatiug for cellar 200
yards from the famous Mound cemetery
at Marietta, Ohio, recently workmen
dug into a mound builders grave sup
posed to be more than 1000 years old.
The grave was covered with three LAYERS
of heavy stone with three inches OF fine
white sand between each layer. When
the third stone was raised the bones OF
a large man were discovered. In the
bones of each hand were two solid cop
per axes. When exposed to the air the
bones crumbled and within half an hour
the entire mass was in small fragments.
The axes were secured by DR.. E. r. Bales,
an ANTIQUARIAN, who found them to be
of solid copper and exceedingly hard.
They have shrill ring to them, and are
imperfect in form, being similar to the
common axe of today. Large bits OF
charcoal were also found 10 the grave as
were the bones of wild animals supposed
to have been deer The grave was wal
led in on all sides, the top and bottom
with heavy stones. The body OF the
mound builder sat in an upright position
with the hands in a position as il sup
porting the body. The head had fallen
over on the ribs, and was almost twice
the size of the present day man. The
axes had peculiar marks on them and
weighed about two pounds each. The
grave was two and one halt feet wide by
three and half long, and five feet deep
and the stones surrounding it were easily
broken with the fingers, being sot. The
experts say the copper axes are from the
Lake Superior region and at least 1000
years Old New York Sun.

The NameleSs Saint.

What was his name? do not know his
name
only know he heard Gods voice and
came
Brought all he loved across the sea,
To live and work for God-and me
Felled the ungracious oak, with horrid
toll
Dragged from the soil
The thrice gnarled roots and stubborn
With plenty filed the haggard mountain
side,
And when his work was done, without
memorial died.
No blaring trumpet sounded out his fame
He lived, he died. do not kno w his name.
No form of bronze ard no meme riai stones
show me the place where lie his N oldering
bones.
only a cheerful city stands,
Builded by his hardened hands;
Only ten thousand homes,
Where every day
The cheerful play
Oflove and hope and courage comes;
These are his m onuments and these alone
There is no form OF bronze and no memo
rial stone.
Is there some desert or some boundless
sea
Where Thou, great God of angels, wilt send
me!
Some oak for me to rend, some sod
For me to break,
Some handful of Thy corn to take
And scatter far afeld,
Till It in turn shall yield
Its hundredfold
Ofgrains of gold
To feed the happy children of my God p
show me the desert, Father, or the sea.
1t is Thine enterprise Great God, send
mel
And though this body lie where ocean
rolls,
Father, count me among all faithful souls

The Power Of the Semi. Colon.

Nobody, not even a guest, can get a
drink in Boston hotel after II p. M,
and all on account of miserable little
semicolon. Theatre parties, after the
show, sit sullen and thirsty in the res.
taurants of the Boston hotel and abomi.
nate pestiferous little semi-colon. This
is the story of the semi-colon: In 1875
the Great and General Court passed this
statute:
mo sale of spirituous or Intoxicating
liquor shall be made between the hours
of II at night and in the morning, nor
during he Lords day, except that if the
licensee is also licensed as an innholder
he may supply such liquor to guests who
have resorted to his house for food or
lodging"
Give heedful note to the comma after
morning." a kindly and hospitable
comma which permitted the licensed
innholder," at least, to comfort the
parched threats of his guests between IL
p. M. and 6 a. m.
In 1881 the statutes were consolidated
and somebody, careless copyist, humor-
list or jealous Prohibitionist, plucked
away the innocent comma and set a
blister of semi.colon there. Notice the
difference:
mo sale of spirituous or Intoxicating
liquor shall be made between the hours
OF IL at night and in the morning nor
during the Lords day, except that if the
icensee is also licensed as an innholder
he may supply such liquor to guests who
have resorted to his house for food or
lodging"
In 1885 the hour was changed from ~
to II, but the comma was not restored.
Obviously the fatal little semi-colon
shuts out the innkeeper from his former
right Of selling liquor TO guests between
IL p. m. and a. M, and merely permits
him to sell on Sunday. This week the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts has so
construed the statute. The semi-colon
has overruled the Great and General
Court. This anecdote teaches us the
moral and legal value of punctuation,
which some OF us were inclined to look
down upon in our younger days. New

En- Voyage.

whichever way the wind doth blow
some heart is glad to have it so;
Then blow it east or blow it west.
The wind that blows, that wind is best.
NV little craft sails not alone;
a thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon a thousand seas;
What blows for one favorite breeze
Might dash another, with the shock
M doom, upon some hidden rock.
And so do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way,
put leave it to a higher will
TO stay or speed me, trusting still
rbat all is well, and sure that He
who launched my bark will sail with me
through storm and calm, and will not fail.
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past,
Within His sheltering heaven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
Nv heart is glad to have it so;
And blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.

crossing-its head is bandaged and it
is led around and around for a long
time, so as to induce it to forget all
about the ferryboat.
At last it is led to the edge and
urged to jump, which it will by no
means do. Then the drivers twist its
tail, put a stick behind it as a lever,
and get six men at each end of the
stick, while six more tug at ropes

After a struggle, often lasting half
