THE BABIES BEDTIME,

Cwset are children in the morning, in the
afternoon or night,
In their dainty frocks of red and blue, or
gowns of simple white;
In their play up in the playroom, in the
yard or on the lawn,
But they're sweetest when It's DeOtlhe,
and they get their ''nighties" on.
Little ghosts of white a-romping Ger the
bed and through the room,
In the season of lifetime they're the rosy
month of June;
Little ghosts of white a-marching to the
music of their laugh,
And the one who e'er would miss it sees
in life its minor half.
Little curls a-dangling frowsy-to the
heads fitting wreath,
Little gowns a-hanging loosely, and the
peeping feet beneath;
Merry monarchs of the household and
their love is as the fawn,
And they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they've got their "nighties" on.
Oh, the clear notes of their laughter, and
the patter Of their feet,
AS they romp and chase each other in the
game of hide and seek
Gives hint of faint suspicion of the world
that is to be,
For the Master taught u.s. saying: Suffer
these to come to Me-"
Soon fatigue o'ercomes the players. and
the white brigade is still,
And the Now I lay me- whispered with
a pleading and will.
Oh, the wee tots are in slunber and their
dreams are in repoSe,
For the clearness of conscience rivals
beauties of the rose.
And the white, upturned, sweet visage
adds to innocence the charm
Of the soul repesing trust upon the guard
ian angels arm;
Oh, the sweetest-scented nectar flowing
from this life is gone,
II you cannot see the babies when they
get their "nighties" on.

AN ENGLISH BATH STORY.
Novel Arrangement for Obtaining q
Shower-HAth in an Irish Sea-
side Resort.

A good story has recently been
picked up in the west of Ireland by Mr..
r. J. Mecredy, the well-known motor
ist. 1t concerns the rising little sea-
eide town of Lahinch, a place which mas
recently developed tremendously
through the tourist and golf booms,
says the London M. A. P. A few years
ago the public baths, like most other
institutions in the village, were very
primitive. They were situated in lit
tie cottage, which was just above the
high-water mark. Shower baths were
speciality, and they were to be had
in room which had a bathtub placed
in the middle of the floor. On pulling
string a perfect deluge of bracing
sea water came through the ceiling.
A lady visitor once stood ready in the
tub and gave the dread signal. But
instead of the usual avalanche of
green water there came from aloft the
gruff voice of the fisherman propri-
etor of the baths: eff yell move a
taste more to the wesht, ma'am," said
the voice, 'ye'll get the full benefit av
the shower" Looking up she, to her
horror, deserted the old fisherman
standing by an aperture in the cell
ing, and holding a barrel of sea water
ready for the douche! Whether the
lady moved to the west and received
the shower or not, the chronicler does
not relate. But Lahinch has made gi-
ant strides onward since.

man, Margaret Kitwater having con-
scented to become my wife two years
ago next month. The only stipula'
ton she made when she gave her de-
cision was that upon my marriage l

L had done sufficiently well at it to war
rant such step, I consented to do so.
and now I lead the life of country
gentleman. It may interest some peo-
pie TO know that certain day-dream,

ton of my time is spent in the little
conservatory which, as have said else
where, leads out of the drawing-room.

then Margaret, my wife, looks in upon
me, and occasionally she can be per-
suaded to bring young Fairfax with
her, who, some people say, resembles
his father. For my own part l prefer
that he should be like his mother
whom, very naturally, I consider the
best and sweetest woman in the world.

Nothing.

A traveller in the Bolivian Andes says
that at one time while his cart was
making it's progress through passes
and over dizzy heights he had a chance
to learn how two taciturn persons may
show their satisfaction at meeting In
other than the conventional way.
It was midday, and under the glar-
ing vertical sun drowsiness had in:
vaded us. We slept until we were
awakened by the approach of the mail
cart coming in the opposite direction.
the first civilized vehicle we had en-
countered. Both drivers stopped and
gazed at each other long in silence.
They were evidently pleased ia
meet, but had nothing whatever to
say. At last one inquired:
what news?"
Nothing" replied the other.
"What did he say?" asked the first
doubtless continuing a conversation
fortnight old.

''Good!" and they drove on-Youth's

At market we saw a bride in the ma

ent of the Chicago Record-Herald.
She was buxom damself of the Swed
ish type, with blonde hair and clear
blue eye. Her head was covered with
peculiar turban, from which hung
clusters of silver coins. Long strings
of coins were suspended from a neck
lace and girdle, and hung over her
shoulders and hips and must have been
very heavy. These were her dowry.
She had begun to save them during
her childhood, and, instead Of putting
them in a savings bank, had strung
them together for ornaments, and had
worn some or all of them on festive
occasions to attract the attention of
the eligible young men of the neigh
borhood.
They were of different denomina-
lions, all of silver, and were strung o.
gether with good deal of taste. The
custom of the country permits bride
to control her dowry after marriage,
and many women are able to preserve
their wedding coins and transmit
them to their children. Sometimes
they are exchanged for piece of land,

whether his body was damned between
