Beyond.

Lowell o. Reese In San Francisco Bulletin.
Why should | mourn? The leaf unheeded falls:
The iron pillar disappears in rust;
Time lays his hand upon the castle walls
They silent sink and crumble into DUST
Why should grieve? Mysterious
Unknown l came-unknown I'll pass away
And In departing for the Great Unknown
Leave naught behind my journey to betray
Why should care? The ages that are past
Sent forth their best beyond the silent veil;
Why should l, then when launching forth at last
Draw back in fear to face the Boatnan pale?
Why should I weep? Death follows after Life
As doth the night the dayt The awful law
Has found 1t good to end some day the strife
And Ger the scene Deaths mystic curtain draw
Why should I shrink? No portal bars the way;
No grfsly want frfghts hope away from me;
When out among the spheres on that great day
My looseDed spirit leaps-I shall be free!
Il understand that Noitali says your new
picture is monstrosity."
-! don't mind him. quietly remarked the
artist; The never had opinion of his
own. He merely repeats what others say"

Points on O Lobster.

A lobster is found in the water, but
not always-in fact, some Of the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell a lobster by its
actions. For instance, If young man
enters a crowded drawing room and
walks all over the feet Of the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be-
comes q lobster.
The fathers of Holsters usually have
money. In fact, it is difficult to be a
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
It is an odd fact that many girls
seem to admire Holsters. 1t would
seem that q girl ought to know better,
but she doesn't until she marries a
lobster. Then she tumbles.
Lobsters have no brains. If you
don't believe it, split lobster's head
open with an AK if you don't care any
thing about the AK.
This world would be much moro
desirable abiding place if there were
no Holsters in it.-Ohio State Journal.

First Silver Wedding.

According to q historian, this is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was in the time Of Hugues
Caput. Two OF his most faithful serT-
ants, a man and a woman, had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman, he said: Your
service is great, greater than the mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
q man, and therefore will give you a
reward. At your age 1 know Of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you for five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you, then the husband is ready"
"Your majesty" said the old peasant,
"how is it possible that we should mar
ry, having already silver hairs?"
"Then it shall be silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin Of the silver
wedding, q custom which, spreading all
through France, subsequently became
known to the world.

Comhiunf.cn Divinr.

The Swedes delight in "combinaton
diving" and two men will perform
many clever feats together. One Of the
most grotesque Of these is when one
man stands upright on the sDringboard
and tightly clasps another mans body
round the waist, holding him head
downward and putting his own head
through the mans legs. When the up
right man springs from the board, he
throws his legs into the air so that the
two men, clasping the other tightly
round the waist, turn a somersault, and
when they reach the water the man
who started upside down arrives feet
foremost.
The handspring dive is very effect
i've speciality Of Swedish swimmers.
The performer takes off from the div
ing board with hands instead Of feet,
turning his body in order to descend
feet foremost or somersaulting to ar
rive head downward. Very graceful
also is the back dive, in which the
spring is made backward, the body
turning toward the springboard. Dou-
BILE somersault dives are made from
platforms 80 or so feet high, the diver
making two turns in the air and enter
ing the water feet foremost.-Peter-
sons Magazine.

Not the Same Wife.

Emperor William, it seems,
has been led by the action of the
German mother and the Ameri-
can widow of his murdered en-
voy at Pekin, the late Baron Won
Ketteler, in declining to receive
the profered visits of Prince
Chun to reject all the magnificent
gifts brought by the young prince
from China for His Majesty's
acceptance. The Emperor, after
Chun had presented in the name
of his brother, Emperor, Kwan-
gsu, expressions of profound
sorrow for the assassination of
Baron Won Ketteler, had mani
tested a disposition to concede to
the Prince the honors and con-
sideration due to his imperial
rank, and which had until that
time been withheld in conse-
quence of the nature of his mis-
sion; but the Prince was invited
to reviews, to state banquets,
etc., and was treated with so
much distinction as to cause the
people to grumble. But the
Emperor seems to have been re-
called to his senses in the matter
by the action of the widowed
mother and wife of the ill-fated
envoy in declining to permit the
Prince to cross their threshold,
or to express to them any condo
lences in their bereavement, and
it was following this that he
caused the department Of For
eign Affairs to inform Chun that
he could not accept any of the
magnificent presents which had
been brought for him, containing
vases Of abaster inlaid with
rubies and emeralds, priceless
porcelain, magnificent bronze
vases. jade and ivory carved, and
some packages of the purest and
finest silks.

MATRIMONIAL LOG.
A Queer Diary Kept Of Trip to the Philippines.

A QueeT Diary AepI OF lip 70 the Inlilpplnes'
This diary pretends to truth
fully record the story of the
bunch of school teachers that the
government sent to the Philip
pines recently:
Wednesday-There are 600
teachers aboard, 100 of them wo-
men. Some are mere girls
others are merely girlish. All
are bound for the Philippines.
Many of them, no doubt, would
be glad to touch at the port of
matrimony on the way.
Thursday-There is spooning
going on everywhere all over
the boat. All the handsomest
men are in great demand. One
fine looking fellow from Cleve-
land, in order to escape from at
| tentions of six Boston spinsters,
spends most of his time in the
foretop. It isn't at all comfort
able up there, but he says he
prefers it.
Friday-First engagement an
nounced. He is just out Of col
lege and %. She is a Portland
schoolma'am and 81. The exam
pie seems to be contagious
three more engagements were
announced by noon.
Saturday-Captain says he
can't work the ship unless the
spooners get out of the way.
The captain is not sentimental
person. All the sailors go round
with broad grins on their faces.
1t is supposed to come from
hearing so much lovey-dovey
talk. The bos'n is the only one
of them that keeps a sour face:
It is said he has been married
four times. The engagement
roll now numbers II.
Sunday-This was a day OF
rest for everybody, except the
spooners. The steward says he
doesn't care how much love
making they do on board. It's
great saving for him. he says.
Those who are deepest in love
don't care to eat. Nineteen en-
gagements to date.
Monday-The captain says
there's no use talking, the sere-
nading business has got to stop.
The sailors can't hear the or
ders because of the love songs.
There's a Chicago schoolma'am
with a mandolin, who makes life
miserable for everybody. She
sings the saddest love songs
every night until II o'clock.
The captain says he'll either put
her in irons, or feed her to the
sharks. Twenty-four engage
ments up to 6 o'clock.
Tuesday-Thirty couples peti-
toned the captain today to per-
NIT them to be married on board.
He said he'd be iammed if he
would. He was ordered to car

of salaried school teachers, and
he meant to do his duty. He
wasn't running any floating toot-
sie-woostie shop, and he wanted
them to know it. The kind of
knots he was interested in were
the kind that a ship is expected
to encourage. He said a lot
more about most of them being
old enough to know better-and
the Massachusetts, girls didn't
like it one bit. The thirty cou-
pies have agreed to get married
as soon as they reach Honolulu;
but the others have reluctantly
concluded to wait until they get

Cooking O Mackerel.

Many a dainty nose with beauty and
fortune behind it has been airily cle-
waited at the mention Of plain, old fash
ioned salt mackerel, but never at the
salt mackerel as cooked by the famous
John Chamberlin Of Washington. His
testimony runs to this effect:
"Take one or more mackerel and soak
about 4S hours, changing the water
once Then put them in pan large
enough to hold them, cover them with
cream or the nearest you can get to it.,
put in oven and cook until cream is
brown. This beats any mackerel cook
ing on earth" h."-New York Herald.

MASONIC HOSTS
GREET FRIENDS
Grand Function Of the
Royal Arch in Golden
Gate Hall.

One of the most delightful functions
given by a Masonic body was the grand
soiree dansante rendered last evening in
Golden Gate Hall by California, Chapter
of the Royal Arch Masons to the wives,
relatives and lady friends of the members.
The large vestibule leading from the
main entrance to the dance hall had been
transformed into a bower of dark green
foliage, in the midst of which were hun
dreds Of incandescent lights in gold-hued
bulbs, producing an effect that was at
once novel, striking and dazzling. The
hall was artistically decorated.
Over the platform, on which was the
and palms, was the name of the chapter
in letters of light, while in the center
shone the symbolic keystone, with It's
were nearly three hundred couples on the
floor at one time, while the gallery was
crowded with onlookers The ladies were

close came the enchanting strains of the

dances. Between numbers there were
vocal selections by William H. McDon-

the California quartet composed Of
Messrs. Wendell, Smith, McBain and Bat
