doubtfully 1t was one woman's SYM
pathy for another spoken in four short
words, but the older woman had had
her faith in servants so rudely broker
so many times that she could not at
once accept the sympathy as real. She
kept coldly silent as Barbara rose.
"Shall come in the morning?" she
asked.
"Yes, say nine o'clock"
81 will bring Prof. Whites letters
then"
Mamma" cried Carl, at that mo-
ment appearing at the head of the
stairs, Lewis wants to know if that
hired girl is going to-"
There was a muffled cry from the
bedroom upstairs as Carl suddenly dis
appeared, dragged back into the room
(by the older brother. Barbara smiled,
and said Good night" and went out,
saying to herself as she went down the
steps: "After ALL the dragon was not
so bad as l feared. / feel rather sorry
for the dragon keeper. Mrs. Ward her
self" on whose character and prob
able behavior, together with that of
her family, Barbara gravely dwelt as
she walked home.
She grew quite animated as she told
her mother the story of her adventures
so far. The matter of staying with
her mother evenings was a subject of
earnest discussion. Both agreed that
it must be managed if possible. Bar
bara went over the interview and gave
her mother the best possible picture
of Mrs. Ward.
81 am sure we shall get on very WELL
She is tired-out woman, irritable be-
cause of her nerves. But lam sure she
is a good woman when she is well,'
Barbara concluded, innocently. "The
children will bother me, 1 have no
doubt. But 1 know 1 can get on. 1
saw only one child. He has roguish
| face, but not bad at all. Oh, the dragon
is not what he's painted, mother"
'Not yet" said Mrs. Clark, in
prophecy.
"No, not yet" answered Barbara,
cheerfully. She felt almost light
hearted to think she had position,
even if it was only that of servant.

away. If you stand on the pavement
you must leave room for other people
to pass. After this it is rat an anti
climax to learn that you must not dis
charge firearms in the street, nor
shoot with crossbows and blowpipes.
eff children make noise in the
street their parents can be punished,
and rambling about in droves' is for
bidden after dark. Dogs that annoy
people by barking are forbidden, espe-
cially after ten; if you take your dog

A Faithful BIrd Mate.

When the British steamship Saxoline
arrived at Wilmington, Del, recently,
the sailors showed to the government
officials, with a great deal of pride, a
cage in which were confined two white
birds. 1t appears that when the ves-
sci, which sailed last from Cette,
France, was in mid-ocean, white
heron flew against the rigging with
such force as to break it's wing, and
causing it to fall to the deck. One of
the crew Immediately took the help
less bird, dressed it's injuries and
placed it in cage which happened to
be on board. With the heron at the
time of the accident was its mate, and
when the injured bird was placed in
the cage, the other hovered about and
would not leave the ship. For several
days it remained, and then the sailors
finally opened the cage. The uninjured
bird Immediately joined its wounded
mate and the two remained perfectly
contented in their confined quarters.
The touching incident made great pets
of the two birds, and from captain
down to cook the men on board the
ship looked after the comfort of the
herons and during the vessels stay at
Wilmington took delight in escorting
visitors to the cage.-Golden Days.

cultured, and in due time planted out.
When the princess royal was married
sprigs were cut for her bridal wreath
from this myrtle tree. The princess,
following her mothers example, had
one of the sprigs cared for till it be-
came a full-sized tree, which served
for her daughter-in-law's wreath at
the wedding of the present emperor
of Germany.
The custom was observed in the mar
riage of the prince of Wales and all
other Of Queen Victoria's children and
grandchildren. There is already, as
the result of his charming custom,
the making of grove of myrtle trees.
Other customs attached to the mar
riages of the royal family relate to the
bouquet and the wedding cake. Ever
since the marriage of Queen Victoria
a firm of Windsor florists have had
the honor of presenting the one, a
Chester confectioper finding the other,
neither accepting payment.

MUST HAVE BEEN NATURAL.
The Humorous Compliment of Bishop
Wilmer to an AtrOciOus
Piano Player.

One of the most kind-hearted men
in the world was the late Bishop JOS
eph p. Wilmer, of Louisiana, says
southern exchange. He could not hurt
the feelings of the humblest mortal.
He was once travelling in England with
his cousin, Bishop Richard Wilmer,
when an incident occurred which
shows Bishop Joseph's readiness in
trying situation. The two bishops
were being entertained by gentle
man who thought his wife had all the
musical talent and accomplishment
that any human being can possess. He
insisted upon a specimen of her per-
formance. The two apostolic cousins
stood near the piano. Bishop Richard,
recognizing that compliment would
be necessary and difficult to make,
quietly stepped back, as most men do
on such occasions, leaving the position
of honor to Bishop Joseph, wondering
what the end would be after "the as
sault upon the ivory keys" might sud-
denly terminate in an awkward selah.
Bishop Joseph, like a self-possessed
woman, with dignity and sweetness of
thought, spoke to the hungry soul of
the adoring husbands:
us that touch of your wife natural
or acquired?"
"Oh, it is perfectly natural" replied
the delighted spouse.
81 thought it was" said the bishop,
"for l don't think such touch could
be acquired"

MIRACLES.
Il was winter in all the world,

1t was winter in all the world,
The meadows in miniver,
When | leaned my ear to a south hillside
And heard the rootlets stir;
all Earth was thrilling and murmuring
Like the shell-song of the Sea,
And heard the breathing and whispering
OF things beginning to be.
And the million voices of the grass
Saying: Eve, too shall be coming to pass"
Softly 1 stole to the elm-tree's bole,
Lo. the sap was shouting within,
And the tree a-tremble from root to soul
or each tip with the coming green;
And listening low to the garden bed.
Up through the stlffened mold
The bulbs were dreaming aloud in red
And purple and cloth of gold:
With the soft little snow drops maiden
dress
Weaving itself out of earthliness.
Then down knelt by a frost-bound stream,
AS still as a dead birds wings.
And the water was laughing under the Ice
million musical things,
Mad Midsummer murmurings!
And when in the graveyard face ice-set
| sought, where dead faces be.
Lo, under the sod and the icy wet
The lips were smiling In violet
And the eyes in anemone,
Where the mortal dust was visibly
Putting on Immortality.
Last. came to a frozen face,
Where the city-cold faces are,
The Ice of its eye. as l shivered by,
Thawed into a sudden tear
And the chill mask quivered beneath that
heat
Till the cold lips broke apart;
Then soft thought l: Spring even here,
At work in the frozen hearth

statesman came down the staircase
at a pace that made the reporter fear
for the afety of his limbs.
"Ah Mr.. Hobart, delighted to see
you," he said, as he entered, with his
hand outs stretched, and before his eyes
had become accustomed to the dark
ened parlor. Then, of a sudden, he
drew himself up stiffly, fumbled in
his waistcoat, pulled out the card that
had been sent to him, and demanded:
''What do you mean by this imposi-
tion, sir?' Like lightning it flashed
on the newspaper man what had hap
pened. He had, while in the vice pres
ident's room, inadvertently picked up
one Of Mr.. Hobart's cards and had
used it by mistake for one of his own
His apologies were ample, but the
senator could not be induced to for
give that thrilling dash down the Slip
perry staircase simply to accommodate
a mere scribhler.
