Sobre una rica fuente de natillas
Orgullosa una mosca revolaba,
Y oil verlas tan hermosas y amarillaS,

Y aunque harto ya del dulce consabido,
Del insecto librar quiso su duefio.
Acost6se este fin cerca del plato,
Y fingiendo el tunante que dormia,
Con ell ojo avisor (ojo de gato,)
Ell Vuelo de la mosca perseguia.
A la venganza al rencor ajeno,
Detuvose el insecto de repente,
Y el cato entonces, de soberbia llenc,
Alzo la pata. 10y la metfo en- la fuente!

Tools PA Years Old.

A remarkable collection of implements
used by miners in 1888 has been dis
covered in d serted shaft of the Stur-
bridge graphite mine 80 feet below the
surface. near Webster.
The discovery includes a wooden
pump stock, % feet long and almost in
tact; a section OF chain, formerly weigh
ing fifty pounds, and now tipping the
scales at but five, and some hammers OF
ancient make.
The Sturbridge graphite mine is said
to have been the first mine OF any kind
discovered and worked in the United
States. The discovery was recently made
adelphia. expert graphite men, who are
now operating at the mine.
For something like 219 years these
implements have laid in ice-cold water
deep in the ground. Mr.. Husbands and
sen believe they are in a fair way to
unearth rich bed of graphite, and it
was during their investigation that the
relics mentioned were discovered In
cold water. away from the air. the pump
had lain for more than 200 years. ap-
narently. and Is TO-DAY in almost per-
feet state of preservation.
The chain however. has corroded. 1t
has rotted away and weighs little less
than five pounds, although 1t still hangs
together, and is a wonderful curiosity

Rustic Wedding in Russia.

The wedding feasts which are given
in some agricultural districts Of Prus-
sia are on an enormous scale.
A banquet shared by eco or 800 guests
is an everyday affair. and the number
sometimes rises to 500 or 900, all of
whom are not only fed. but lodged. for
the festivities continue for three days.
The brides father erects a number Of
large tents and engages bands of music,
and the rustic beauties appear in cos
tunes which only wealthy city women
would think they could afford.
But the main thing. in accordance
with good old German custom, is the
eating-and drinking. An idea of tho
liberality and of the labors of the
brides parents may be gathered from
two oxen, nine calves. nine sheep. three
or four fat hogs. $50 chickens. and 500
pounds CT fish were provided. Nine
hundred pounds of flour were used In
making bread and cake. The beverages
included 1900 bottles of wine. twenty
casks of beer, an6 twenty-five bottles
of brandy. A feast like this must cost
a small fortune. and 1t would be rich
man who could marry of many daugh-
ters In this way.
Despite all this prodigality there II
one thing which. at first sight. appears
parsimonlous-each guest is expected
to bring his own knife and fork.-Cin-

after o'clock in the morning, and the
woods were full OF them until dark.
There were no formal exercises, but

Twice the baskets were unpacked
the refreshments were spread out. and
with the appetite that comes from a
day outdoors, the good things disap-
peared like magic. Hot coffee and
cream were served freely to everybody
by the president of the club.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
MARINE BAND CONCERT
Popular washington Times March
Played for Second Time and
Greatly Enjoyed.

The occasional showers of yesterda,
evening did not serve to dampen the en-
thusiasm Of the large crowd which at
tended the Marine Band concert at the
White House, and each number wa:
greeted with hearty applause. The pro
gram was characteristic of those tins
public has accustomed itself to expect
from the musicians under Lieutenant
Santelmann's direction. and not the
least conspicuous on the list was The
Washington Times March," played TO;
the second time by the Marine Band yes
terday evening.
After the soft. soothing, dreamy
strains of The Beautiful Blue Danube,
Strauss immortal composition. the mar
tial. swinging rhythm of THE Washing
ton Times March rang out like chal-
lenge TO mark time. With all the vim
and spirit that has ever been a feature
of the Marine Bands work, its members
played Prof. Whites composition, and
the public. or that portion of the public
which happened to be within the White
House grounds Yesterday afternoon, en-
ioyed 1t immensely.
Lieutenant Santelmann has expressed
himself as being highly pleased with the
march and its catchy strains. That he
has given it a place on the program Of
the Marine Band twice in succession Is
proof sufficient that the composition
meets with his approval.
The march was written for and dedi-
Gated to the members of the Washing
ton Times Newsboys Band, and the lit
tie fellows were the first to introduce
1t to the local public. That their es'
teemed colleagues, members Of the Ma
rine Band, have seen fit to choose 1t as
one of the few numbers on their week
ly program, is a courtesy which the
youthful musicians highly appreciate.
and one which they are not likely to
forget in long time.
Could the members Of the Marine Band
have been conscious of little comedy
that was being enacted around them they
wouli have enjoyed more than the mere
playing OF the march. Forming cir
Gle around the Dand stand were nearly

which he plays. With the keen eye
of genius and superior knowledge of
music each watched the more experience
ed musician play the score of the march
Absolutely oblivious of the crowd
around them the boys watched the Gov
ernment musicians, and each little face
bore a mixed look of satisfaction and pa
tronizing indulgence when the piece was
finished. 1t was a little by-play that
few were aware of. but distinctly char
acteristic. and quite professional.

II that traditional pin were to drop in
the realms of social Washington, it
might fall with the force of a meteor
without creating a sensation-there be-
ing no one to hear.
The fashionable highways and by
ways that vein the resident section of
the city are as deserted-almost-as
Goldsmith's village.
Spiders have swung their hammocks
across the entrances of boarded up man
sions, and sparrows chatter garrulously
among their chimneys and caves. Tiled
walks are tufted with grass, and lawns
are gay with -Four c'clocks" and other
vagrant weeds.
1t is very hot, as well as very desert
ed, when the sun beats down on roof
and terrace, but to pass those big,
breezy houses and shaded grounds in
the cool of the evening, and contrast
them with the hotel accommodations OF
even the best resorts, one does not need

tai reservation, Puck's ejaculation,
What fools these mortals be!'
Not entirely inane, either, for the law
of change is as old as creation. and it
may be what the irreverent call the old
Adam working that causes the annual
exodus rather than any special seduc-
tiveness of either the mountains or the
sea.
There are people past counting who
are taking the hot weather philosophi-
cally with umbrellas and palm leaves,

comedies. and river trips by the light
