do remember we'll when first we met
How with unchanging eyes looked on thee
Whose own for one short moment turned to me-;
Then parted the time. sweet was not yet
1 wonder dear II eer thereafter thou
Dldst dream of me in that long year apart;
Did OF thee2 Thou questionest my heart;
o listen while sly heart doth answer now.
From the beginning Of my conscious life
Thou vert the angel striving for my good;
Thy fancied voice could still all youthful strife
And stir the dreamer from mis- blacklist mood;
1t was the hope Of thee some day for wife
That brought pure to where tonight we
stood.
What marvel was it that we knew not each
The other when We first were face to face
That whimful Fate thus strangely could erase
The golden lessons all our years did teach?
Whereby dear love from this fast-slipping span
year was lost we never may regain
To lengthen out what many years remain
Yet, softly: IL to God we yield the plan
Mayhap we shall behold there His own hand
And find just reason wherefore il was so;
Since then new-raised, in our two hearts may
stand
Guide-posts of Heav'n that point the way to
go.
And, haply. soon such ord ring shall command
Our thanks that RE did not too soon bestow.

SAVING A SHARKS LIFE.
Kept on Move for Eight Hours to Pre-.
vent It's Succumbing.

The shark that for two hours has
been seen swimming about in one of
the wall tanks of the ground floor of
the Aquarium was recently removed
to the ampler waters OF the greater
central pool to preserve its life.
In the two years in which the shark
had been in the tank it had increased
in length from two feet to about four
feet eight inches. The tank being
small, the shark could not get the ex.
ercise it required. This made its re-
moval necessary.
In making the transfer a serious diff.
| ticulty was encountered. The salt
water in the sharks tank in the
aquarium is usually at II degrees. The
water in the great central pool is just
now about on the bottom, where the
cold water supply comes in, and about
60 at the top, where the warmed wa
ter is supplied. This would do for
such fishes as had wintered in it, but
it would kill in short order a shark
put into it from water at II degrees
and left to itself. Therefore when the
I shark had to be removed the aquarium
people got ready to keep it alive in the
| big pool until it could look out for it
self 1t was to be kept from lying
down and giving up and succumbing
to the chill by practically the same
methods followed to ward off stupor In
the case of a man who has taken an
overdose of some narcotic, namely,
by keeping him moving.
They shifted the shark over from
| the tank it had lived in for two years
and dropped it in the big pool on Fri
! day at 5 p. m. Almost the moment it
slid into the pool the shark stood, lit
orally speaking, on its head. perfectly
inert The difference il the temper
ature of the water would have killed
| it in quick time if left to itself. But
that is just what they didn't do. They
had man stationed on the coping of
the pool with a pole, and for seven
hours that man was kept tolerably
busy keeping that shark on the go.
The minute the shark dropped head
downward in that fashion, just letting
go and giving UP right on the spot, the
man touched it up with the pole, to
get away from which the shark would
| right itself up and start swimming
THAI was what they wanted it to do
to keep swimming and swimming.
Sometimes the shark would not
need attention more than twice in an
b0ur sonatirues IL had to he moved on
every few minutes. Once or twice 1t
turned over on its back. but the man
was after it quickly, squirting 1t on
and the shark would right Itself at
the touch and start ahead again. so
they kept at it till midnight, by which
hour 1t was pretty well warmed up
and going nicely.-New York Sun.

AN ECCENTIC COUNTESS.
Wonderful Collection of Articles
Comes to Light After Her Death.

Wonderful Collection of Articles
Comes to Light After Her Death.
Some of the eccentricities of the
late Comtesse de Castiglione have
come out. At the time of her death
she had no fewer than five flats in
different parts Of Paris, four of which
were chiefly used for storing rare fur
niture and other objects. She lived
in the fifth, the street bearing her
name. 1t contained many roughly
made deal boxes and b!sket trunks
packed with rich laces, furs, fans,
cont bottles and jewe'od knick
lnacks.
There were fifty fans of the great
est beauty. A summary history of
each. and on what occasions it was
used was written on a docket. A
great quantity of plate was found in a
box in another of the flats, with tea
service in massive carved silver of
great value. Her collection of Vene-
tian rose and other Italian guipures
is said to be OF priceless worth. The
parasols and canes are not less re-
markable. Canes came into fashion
for ladies Just before she retired from
the world to bury herself alive as
recluse in the very heart OF Paris.
These aticles are in themselves al
most a fortune. The cambria body
linen is of unbelievable fineness.
There are also trunks filled with SOU
venirs of the Tulleries, which the
countess gathered in the ruins Of that
palace. Pawn tickets have been
found for sums amounting to 10000
francs. One of them covers a famous
necklace Of pearls that was missed,
though she mentioned It in her will.
It Is worth $4,000. She pawned 1t
for trifle compared with its real
value. The heir Of the late countess
