Comparatively Easy.

A benevolent old lady stopped on q
street corner to wait for her car, and
was attracted by the bright face of a
young italian, who was grinding his
organ near by. She found a ten-cent
piece in her purse, and dropped it in
to his hand, we'll repaid by the bril-
liant smile which accompanied his
"T'anka." ut must be real hard to
turn that crank as steady as you do,
and keep such good time" she said,
cordially. "Not so deeicult," said the
Italian, showing his white teeth in
another smile. "You see, madam,

LEFT ALONE.

They're only a mothers treasures.
A curl OF golden hair,
"A dolly limp and broken,
And frock you used to wear:
And the tears are falling on them,
For once you were her own,
But you were wed this morning,
And she is left alone
Twas hard to say goodbye, dear,
Twas hard to let you go,
But ah! the years bring joys and
tears,
That only mothers know.
She looks at all her treasures,
And her tears fall like sweet rain;
She feels your tiny fingers
Upon her cheek again;
She seems to hear your footstep
Along the nursery floor
As she gazes almost blinded,
At the baby's shoes you wore.
Twas hard to part with you, dear,
She always loved you so;
The love that's best beyond the rest,
That only mothers know.
It seems to her a dream. dear,
You've gone away bride.
And that she will wake tomorrow
To find you by her side.
All, nos the tears are true ones,
But on her Bonded knee
She still can pray God bless you,
Though all alone Is she.
For life's made sweet by love, dear.
Where'er our footsteps go.
But angels write in words of light
The love that mothers know.

'eems to learn things without study

ing"
Commencement night arrived.
Three dainty white dresses, all alike
to the last ruffie, were laid across the
three single beds, and the excited
triplets were ready to slip into them.
Little Mrs. Stone was flying from one
tall daughter to another in nervous
haste, and Aunt Harriet, who had con-
tributed the dresses, seemed to be in
everybody's way at once.
"It's pretty thick In here said
Adalette, gathering up one of the
fluffy gowns. eff you don't mind,
mother, think I'll take possession
of the spare room. have an errand
to do besides, so don't be uneasy II
you find that have gone on ahead"
There were twenty-seven graduates,
of whom nineteen were girls. Mrs.
Stone, down in the audience, tried to
distinguish her white-robed triplets
upon the stage. There was one au-
burn head. There was another, but
where was the third? Mrs. Stone
began again at the beginning of the
row, but only two of the red-gold
heads could she find.
Adalette's essay was the fourth
number on the programme. Mrs.
Stone looked expectantly at her two
visible daughters. Neither of them
stirred, but a strange girl at the end
of the first row stepped forward. All
the other graduates wore white. This
one was attired in quaint but be-
coming gown Of pink and white
striped dimity. Her abundant hair
was black as night. So were her eye
brows.
"What," whispered Mrs. Stone to
Aunt Harriet, "has become of Ada
lette"
But surely, even though it trembled,
that was Adalette's voice. Surely that
was Adalette's essay. Mrs. Stone had
heard it too often not to recognize
it now. but where was Adalette? Mrs.
Stone snatched Aunt Harrict's opera
glasses, and gazed eagerly at the dark
haired girl.
"As I live," whispered she, turning
to Aunt Harriet, that's Adalette In
my spare-room bed quilt, but what
has she done to her hair?"
"Well," said Aunt Harriet, "if I'm
not mistaken, she has either bought
or rented the wig off the wax lady in
the glass case in front of the hair
dresser's store. 1 found q burnt cork
on the spare-room dressing table aft
er she left, so that's where she got
her eyebrows"
"But why" began bewildered Mrs.
Stone.
"Well," said Aunt Harriet, who was
a sensible woman in spite of her pecu-
Mar taste in clothes, "this is the occa-
sion of lifetime for Adalette, and
suspect she wanted to graduate as an
individual and not as triplet. She
has made that gown herself, for I've
seen pink threads on her dress every
day this week, and she has made a
good Job of it, too. Sc here, Sarah
Stone, I'm going to take that girl
home with me when I go back east,
and let her try her hand at being her.

The Biene.. of the Ocean.

Inc DlBncBB OF tne OCean.
Some people gratefully reflect that
we owe the clouds and the tides and
the winds to the Mother and Maker
of men," but these are less numerous
than the folks who would like to
know" what we should do for soles
and cod and mackerel If there were no
ocean. Yet think only how big it is!
If you divide the whole globes area
into IL parts, the sea covers eight of
those. with an average depth of 1000
fathoms. Try to imagine 1900 feet of
solid. perpendicular sea water lying
upon eight-elevenths of the entire
planet
A patient mathematician has been at
the pains to inform us that this bulk
of brine would weigh one and a half
million million millions of tons. For
the most part this vast body of water
thus set down In figures as 10000
600, 1000 100000 tons-is of the same
composition everywhere, and as every
body knows, carries great quantities of
ocean salt.
But that same salt Is itself singularly
complex. Not only are there in it
chlOrides and sulphates of sodium,
potash. magnesium and lime, which
are familiar to many, but it contains
also silica, boron, bromide, iodine, flu
ORIG acid and the oxides of nickel, CO.
bait. manganese, zinc, silver, lead, cop
per. aluminium, barium and stron-
tium. Arsenic and gold are also found
In 1t. along with those rare metals lithi-

The Prince and the Captain.


The admiral commanding the British
Mediterranean squadron some 20 years
ago, writes correspondent, gave q
dinner to the captains of the feet at
Malta. By Gas most of the captains
had reached the flagship, been received
on the deck by the admiral and usher
ed below. Next the Duke of Edin-
burgh arrived. The admiral received
him, and, keeping him in conversation,
continued to pace the deck. All subse-
quent arrivals were duly ushered be-
low to the saloon, but still the admiral
kent the duke on deck. At last 1t oc-
CURED to the duke that the dinner hour
had been passed, and he ventured to
Inquire If his host was waiting for

"Yes," replied the admiral, II am

Instantly the duke took the hint, call

captains Of the feet had turned up In

the dinner was official. On his return
to the flagship in the quickest time on
record and in full uniform the gallant
but inflexible admiral was still pacing
the deck, and deprecatipg his royal
highness' profuae apologies conducted
him to dinner. I believe, concludes my

According to the science column Of
a German weekly paper, the hens of
China lead busy lives. When not en-
gagged in Matching out a brood of their
own kind, they are put to the addi-
tional and novel task of Matching fish
eggs. Chinese cheap labor collects the
spawn of fish from the waters edge,
puts it in an empty eggshell, which is
then Theoretically sealed with wax and
placed under the unsuspecting and con-
scientious hen. In few days the egg
shell is removed, and the spawn which
has been warmed into life is emptied
into shallow pool. Here the fish that
soon develop are nursed until strong
enough to be turned into a lake or
stream.

AFTER RAIN.

The country road at lonely close Of day
Has rest awhile from the long stress Of rain;
Dripping and bowed, the green walls of the Ian,
Reflect no glistening light; no colors gay
Has dying summer left; the sky is gray,
As though the weeping had not eased the pain;
The autumn is not yet, and all In vain
Seems summers life-a blossom cast awayl
The air is hushed, save in the emerald shade
The rain still drops and stirs each fretting leaf
To soft insistence of its little grief
The hopeless calm all thought Of life denies;
But, bark. and now through silence, unafraid,
A robin ripples to the chilly skies.
