An Irish Boys Tribute to the Queen.

The following incident which occurred
here the day after the Queens death may
perhaps interest our readers. A little
barefooted boy in ragged jacket was
running down Grafton street when he
came TO one of the posters spread in the
street, bearing among other news the
word death of the Queen" in large let
tiers. After gazing sadly at it for few
moments he searched his pockets and
finding a penny he ran and bought a
bunch of violets, and kneeling down in
the muddy street, laid it reverently on
the Queens name. The gentleman who
saw 1t, well,known bookseller, said,
"The tears came into my eyes" and
those who cherish the remembrance OF
her Majesty's amused and happy face as
she drove slowly through thousands of
children in the Phoenix Park last April,
and listened to their cheers, and in some
cases endearing ifrather familiar words,
feel sure that she would value that bunch
of violets, bought with probably the Civ.
er's only coin, and left to be trampled in
the muddy street, as much as any of the
costly wreaths sent from all parts of the
empire Dublin Letter in London Spec.
tator.

Paderewski's Crippled Son.

The announcement of the death of
Hyppolyte Paderewski, son of Ignace
Jan Paderewski, the famous pianist, at
Warsaw, recalled one OF the most pa
thetic and tender episodes in the ro-
mantle life of the great artist. The boy
was the offspring of the wife of his youth
help him through his struggles with pow
erty and neglect during his early years.
For a long time after her death he. de-
voted himself to the care of this son, who
had been made a cripple by spinal dis.
ease. He never had the use of his arms
or his legs and had to be carried about
like child up to the time of his death,
at the age OF twenty years. His father
cared for him more than anything else in
the world, and it was said last year,
when he surprised his friends by marry
ing woman neither beautiful nor a mu'
sician and four or five years his senior,
that she won his heart by her long and
constant devotion to his son, whom she
had cared for for many years.
1t was for this son that the father
bought three years ago farm of several
hundred acres on the borders of Poland
ana Russia. 1t may seem homogeneous
for pianist to become farmer" Pad
erewski is quoted as having said, "but
my motive is sufficient explanation. l
have taken this step through love for my
crippled son. He is now seventeen
years old, and he cannot move either
arms or legs. He is my only boy, and
you can readily understand how devoted
I am to him The country is naturally
the best place for him and my hope is
that his health and spirits will improve
when he finds himself surrounded by
green meadows and blossomiug flowers,
and where his interest will be awakened
yall the novel sights that are to be seen
on large country estate"
Like his father, the boy was genius,
but in his own way. He composed two
or three operas, but curiously enough,
he cared nothing for music.

A Ruined Business.

The sale of cigarettes in St.
Johnsbury has fallen off to an as
tonishing degree since the act OF
the last legislature prohibiting their sale
to minors went into effect on Jan. /. In
qulrles among the druggists and other
dealers brought out the fact that the
cigarette business was practically ruined
by the law. Several dealers have gone
out of the business entirely and nearly
all who continue to sell them report that
sales have fallen off nearly one.half and
III some cases more. The general opinion
among tobacco dealers is that that the
law has not only stopped the sale to
minors but that many of the boys who
smoked them have given up the practice.
VI course there are cases where the boys
secure them through friends who passed
the age limit, and some are imported
IRON other states, but one thing is sure,
the practice has fallen off to such an ex-
tent that it is a surprise to those who
have studied the matter. Travelling
statesmen and wholesale dealers say that
the same condition exists throughout the
state. Just how many boys have been
prevented from beginning the habit since
the law went into effect cannot be con.
Jectured, but the probability is that there
VIII be fewer cigarette smokers in the
future than in the past.

MY Party on the Snow.

Last week Thursday l gave party,
and we all had such a delightful time
that have given party every day since,
from two to four O'Clock in the after
noon.
The first day had only fifteen guests
now have fifty or more. Although the
trees have been laden with snow and ice,
and the ground covered with cold
white rug, have spread my table under
the wide-reaching limbs of a chestnut
tree. Great dainties for those invited,
cranberries that look very handsome on
the white cloth, golden-yellow cheese,
chestnuts and rice, bread and cake
crumbs,
First to arrive are the sparrows, eager
for the treat. Not a morsel have they
been able to find since the snow covered
everything up. Among them is one little
! fellow who has to use his wing as a
crutch, sticking the end of it down in the
snow to make him stand up. If he tries
to hop from crumb to crumb, he falls
over. His left leg is broken. He can fly
all right, but when he tried to perch on
the big limb Of the tree he turned SOM
ersault, and fell on the snow.
Next come the blue jays, in their mag
ni6cent coats of blue trimmed with black
and white. They help themselves to
cheese at once, preferring it to anything
on the table. The sparrows hate the
smell of it, and if they come upon piece,
give a quick hop backwards. Jays are
greedy. They never fail to seize tine big
gest lump.
The gray squirrels soon heard that all
furred and teathered folks were invited
to party, and came leaping from tree
to tree until they reached our lawn, then
dashed across, going straight for the
nuts. Up as high as could reach drove
a nail in the tree and hung by strong
string piece of suet. About this the
tiny brown creepers and woodpeckers
gather and peck for hours.
At this afternoon tea there is no loud
talking, only soft chirps of happiness,
unless my cat Toots happens to walk
beneath the tree. Then they all fly to
the top of an evergreen, and the blue
jays call him "Thief! thief" and the
squirrels jerk their tails in wrath and
chatter hard and fast.
Yesterday three crows as black as tar
buckets lighted on the top OF the tree,
and looked down for a long time, SEEM
ing very much amused but too dignifed
to partake of the refreshments. l am
sure if you try giving this kind of party
you will enjoy it. Elizabeth Polhemus
in the Sunday School Times.

Work of the Dawes Commission in
Indian Territory.

The work already accomplished and to
be achieved by the Dawes Commission
can be summarized as follows:
(a) The partial, yet to be final, aboli-
ton of the Indian tribes and local gov
| ernments.
| (b) The segregation of their lands by
survey, etc.
(c) The enrolment of all Indians and
freed persons and the passing upon the
claims made
Id The survey and allotment to iu-
divIduas of nearly twenty million acres
of land.
(e) The making of conditions which
insure peace, recognize the intruder, "
and establish law and order.
IT, The creation of municipal govern
ment, as the beginning of civil institu-
lions.
(g) The founding of system of pub
lie schools.
(h) The prevention of Indian pauper-
ism during a reasonable period of change
The protection also, of annuity and
other funds, and of such property as coal
lands, ETC., as shall remain OF joint inter-
est, and its disposition for the benefit of
all concerned.
Whatsoever may be the original
wrongs done, and the writer's convic-
tion-founded, too, on forty years Of
knowledge of their conditions-is that
they are many and fragrant: the convic-
ton has grown strong from recent OBJ
servation as well as former deduction,
that the present policy offers the only
reasonable and equitable settlement of
existing affairs From "The Indian
Territory,-Its Status, Development, and
Future" by Richard ]. Hinton, in the

Distinguished Artist Dead.

Virgilo Tojetti, the painter of lovely
women, who died in st. Luke's hospital,
New York, March &c, was the junior
member Of the firm of E. w. Gustin &
Co., the senior member of which was
formerly a resident here. This celebrated
artist was born in Rome in 1851 and as
boy studied under his father, Chevalier
Domenico Tojetti, who was also a cele
brated artist, was created Marquis and
decorated by two kings, after which he
went to Paris.
Tojetti introduced himself to American
art eighteen years ago, when he exhibited
at the National Academy of Design a
striking picture of a scene from Bulwer
Lytton's "Richeieu." 1t was sold for
$4,000, the highest price paid, upto that
time, for a picture in the Academy.
AS portrait painter he had few equals
in the world and among the most promi-
nent are the portraits of Mrs. Charles T.
Yerkes, the railroad magnate OF Chicago,
Mrs. William Irwin OF Honolulu, Mrs
Judge Dugro of the Hotel Savoy, New
York, which was his favorite portrait
and which he kept in his studio where it
was hidden from view until button
was pressed. Among his most famous
easel paintings are the 1.-TWO Roses, !"
Sweet Thoughts, Sweet Sixteen" Burst
of Melody" He Loves Me, He Loves Me
Not and which are published by E. w.
Gustin & Co. The 1.-TWO Roses" was
regarded as his most popular picture
and undoubtedly had larger sale than
any picture ever published in this coun-
try

ANoveI Gift for rlrs. seton-Thompson.

Mrs. Ernest Seton-Thompson is the
possessor of one of the most artistic pos
tai scales ever produced at the scale fac
tory. During Mr.. Seton Thompson's
visit to st. Johnsbury last winter he
was the guest Of Charles H. Horton, and
although he did not visit the factory he
expressed desire that he might have a
rate postal scale for his wife as souv-
enir of his visit, so Mr.. Horton had one
especially decorated with pictures of
the authors famous animal characters
and last week sent it to Mrs. Seton
Thompson. The scale is finished in white
enamel with gold decorations. On the
base is painting Of old Lobo, with wolf
tracks around the base and leading up
to and around set trap. Then there is
the little wolly cotton-tail rabbit, Raggy-
lug, going through the wire fence, five
other little rabbits at play and another
peeping from burrow. Another picture
represents Silverspot, the crow. The
whole makes a very beautiful and appro-
pirate desk scale. The work was done
by George H. Taylor and the pictures are
very accurate presentations of their
subjects.
