rHE a0YERNoR,s pILEMMA.

Governor Van SAINT, of Minnesota,
recently arrived in New York and
went to a hotel. Shortly after for
mer resident of that State called, and
was shown to his room. He found
the Governor sitting in chair survey
ing with a gloomy countenance
trunk which stood against the wall.
"What's the matter, Governor {"
asked the caller.
"I want to get suit of clothes out
of that trunk" was the answer.
"Well, what's the dificulty-lost
the key?"
mo, have the key all right, "
said the Governor, heaving sigh.
"I'll tell you how it is. My wife
packed that trunk. She expected to
come with me, but was prevented at
the last moment. To my certain
knowledge she put in enough to NIL
three trunks the way man would
pack them. If I open it the things
will boil all over the room, and I
could never get half of them back,
Now. what I'm wondering about is
whether it would be cheaper to go out
and buy a new suit Of clothes or two
additional trunks"

DESTROYING NIAGARA.

Apropos of the transforming of the
water power of Niagara Falls into a
money making commodity, C0llie,'s
Weekly discourses as follows:
Niagara is threatened with des-
truction-with destruction, that is, of
all that has made it the most renowned
natural object in America, and one of
the most renowned phenomena in the
world. In all Our history the Falls
have been famous the world over.
Before them great writers from all
countries have stated, with singular
monotony, that no description could
in any way suggest their majesty.
They have appealed to the imagina-
tions of thousands who never saw
them. Their thunders are threaten
ed with their beauties, and all for
little money for private Operations.
Not only do power-houses dishgure
the scene, but the fall of water is al
ready reduced several inches when
the machinery is all in operation, and
the final end of this diminution would
be the destruction of the vast phe-
nomenon altogether. If the State OF
New York does not act with speed
and thoroughness, the Falls ought to
be taken by the Government, and
made national park, like the Vel
lowstone. This country suffers, in
comparison with many others, from
dearth of those objects of nature and
art which lift the imagination and
help to form the higher thoughts and
feelings. For us, who have oceans
of money as it is, to turn one of our
noblest heritages into coin, is SO low
and coarse choice that it is very sad

GROUND HOG KNOWS IT ALL.

The disputed wisdom of the ground
hog has been thoroughly tested by
Peter B. Atwell, of Ohio. Atwell
last fall captured one of the hibernat-
ing species and took it into his home,
allowing it to sleep in nest he had
provided for it in a closet.
The animal lay quiet until the
morning of February I'd. Atwell
says that on that day the animal crept
from its nest, climbed upon the win
dow sill, where the rays of the sun
shone full and bright, and after ac-
tually seeing its shadow on the wall
retired to its winter quarters.
Atwell decided he would watch
both the grounding and the weather.
The promised six weeks of winter
came with vengeance, and as the al
lotted six week were up, Atwell
watched the grounding carefully al
day. About the middle of the after.
noon, Atwell says, the animal awoke
shook himself and scrambled out. /
wandered about the room until dark
and then retired. The next morning
the grounding was up before Atwel
and was scratching at the door. Whel
the door was opened, the animal wen
forth as if it were perfectly happ,
and contented.

SHE HAD a RECEPTION DAY.

When the strange woman had call
ed on the young couple in the neigh
borhood she left card bearing, beside
her name, the word Thursday, (" but
the young couple have way of mis-
placing valuable trifes of this sort.
and they promptly lost the card.
They also have things to think of
other than the days of the weeks and
they forgot all about the mystic word
on the card.
When they were ready to return
the call they found they had free
evening on Wednesday, and so they
went then.
The husband rang the bell at the
house, and after some time, during
which they had space to observe that
tbs yhaaug all Vas Pfs. onened for them nv tins
"Why, it is Mr.. and Mrs. Blank,
isn't it1'' she said, peering into the
vestibule. 81 am somewhat surpris-
ed to see you. I thought you would
come some Thursday evening. Come
in, and will you excuse me while
go upstairs and change this negligee
gown for something more conven-
tional? If it had been Thursday
you would have found me clothed
and in my right mind, but never ex-
pect anyone on Wednesday, so / was
resting. Aren't servants vexatious?
My maids will stay in on Thursdays,
when they know 1 entertain, but the
other nights of the week they claim
for themselves. They are so spoiled"
When the lady had gone upstairs
to put on conventional attire Mr..
Blank turned to Mrs. Blank: I'VE
are being scolded, aren't we?" he
asked in stealthy whisper, and i'm
mediately some one got up at the
back of the gloomy drawing-room and
went upstairs.
Then Mr.. and Mrs. Blank broke
into hysterical giggles, and they were
still trying to straighten out their
faces and the ways of this mysterious
household when the hostess came
downstairs wearing handsome gown.
''I wouldn't have put on my neg
ligee SO early this evening"" said she
as soon as she had entered the room,
"but l have been downtown all day
preparing for my Thursday. Visit
ing florists and coufectioners take it
out of one dreadfully, but no trouble
is too great to make people comforta-
bic, is itl"
Mr.. and Mrs. Blank said they did
not think it was.
II find that Thursday is a very
convenient day for almost everyone.

end of the week. you see"
Mrs. Blank said "Yes" rather
vaguely, and Mr.. Blank touched her
surreptitiously on the foot as an indica-
ton that it was time to 60, but before
Thursdays three or more times, and
goodbye to Mrs. Blank she said,
"Come to see me some Thursday,

But Mrs. Blank patience had come
to an end. "No," she said with
great distinctness, II regret very
much that 1 shall not be able to call

steps, leaving the almost hysterical
Mr.. Blank to shift for himself.

SECONDHAND DEALERS IN TAGS.

PernapS there never was time IN
the history of the world when hum
bugs were so common as they are at
present. Only few weeks ago deal
ers in trunks, harness and leather
were amused over an article which
appeared in one of their trade jour-
mails, stating that, on one of the back
streets of New York an enterprising
soul is doing a lively business in the
sale of second hand vakse and trunk
tags to those who are anxious to cut
a wide swath when they return to
their homes in the West and South.
How this enterprising chap manages
to obtain the tags is mystery which
the article does not explain, but he is
prepared for a moderate charge to
check ones baggage from CONSTANT
nople to Cairo, Brindisi, Geneva, or
any other old place. Speaking of
this rather common phrase of vanity,
one of the leading leather goods deal
ers of Washington said:
"I saw the article about the second
hand tag dealer, apd no doubt it is
quite correct. If there is anything of
which people are particularly vain it
is the foreign tags on their baggage.
This is more particularly the case
with those who have returned from
their first trip across the water, and
are anxious that every one should
know the fact. We have in our es
tablishment an extensive repair shop,
and every now and then we receive
hat boxes, steamer trunks, valiseS,
travelling bags, grips and so on, that
are as full of foreign tags as dead
uunll is of -shAa.-iaal- -a..d- -s>a4A.at. ....Adi-
person wholsends the baggage leaves
under no circumstances are those tags
to be removed.
"Once upon time we had in our
shop a wideawake boy who did odd
jobs about the place, and who was as
ambitious as he was industrious and
well-behaved. Evidently he felt that
the best plan to obtain an advance In
salary was to keep everlasting busy,
and am free to admit he was about
the hardest worker / have ever seen.
One morning before the men came
down to their work, this lad found
himself without anything to do. He
had literally worked himself out of a
Job, and anxious that on our arrival
we should find him busy, he began
pottering about in search of some
thing to occupy his hands. In an
evil moment his eye fell upon large
grip that was plastered over with tags
from nearly every hotel and city in
Europe, from Moscow to Palermo
and from Queenstown to Odessa.
With admirable industry he set per-
severingly to work removing the tags.
He had about finished the job when
one of the workmen entered and res
cued the grip on which there still re-
mained a few suggestions of Swiss
watering places.
"When the customer received his
grip minus some IL or IS tags, ne
shed tears Of anguish, and said things
calculated to make the angels weep
He was the maddest man in Wash
ington and roasted our establishment
right royalty as place where the
workmen had no more gumption thar
to clean up a mans valise as bright
and tagless as the day he purchased
it, Washington Post.

The next afternoon the artist, with
as little delay as possible in the re-
ception room, courteously ushered
Mrs. Norman and her niece into his
studio. A large covered picture stood
upon an easel in the centre of the
room. Seating the ladies before it,
the artist, with his eyes on Lillias,
carefully raised the cover and reveal
ed the "dream lady" So true to
life was it that even in such close
proximity it seemed as real and SEN
tient as the living girl.
Mrs. Norman uttered an exclama-
ton of astonished delight, while Lii
las seemed electrified, her delicate
figure trembling with emotion, her
face suffused with bushes.
In an instant she recalled the Jan
uary day in the hospital where she
Lad kUuS ~ vfSis l.~l SILK la Sti.sa s4sss a
by mistake entered a duplicate room
on the floor below, that of the hand
some stranger, whom-ah, how alb
surd !-she had actually kissed. Aud
he I! She knew he was asleep. Could
it have been otherwise? She stole
timid, beseaching glance at Winton,
and read the embarrassing affirmation
in his smiling but respectful gaze.
It seems remarkable mental phe-
nomenon, does it not?" he asked
with ready tact. Perhaps some day
you will assist me to better under
standing of it. However, am con-
fident that until last night I never
saw you with my external sight, Miss
Selden."
"No?" the girl queried, half doubt
ingly.
Impossible p said Mrs. Norman.
True, nevertheless" replied the
artist. Then he related the cause of
his hospital experience-rheumatic
fever, during which he was kept under
some opiate so constantly that he
could not even recall the time when
the dream occurred. The picture, as
he had reproduced it, "a m e con-
sciously to his mind one day during
his convalescence, and when the ef-
feet of the opiates were entirely re-
moved from his system.
1t is needless to say that public ex-
hibition of the picture was deferred
until several months later, when
Lillias became the afianced wife of
Raymond Winton, and as such, as
we'll as the subject of its inspiration,
shared with the artist the honor it
brought.
Neither was it until they stood alone
before it in the public gallery that
Lillias assisted him to more logical
conclusion concerning it's origin.
When she finished the story which
the reader already knows, Winton
drew her to him, and gazing affection
ately into her eyes said slowly:

spRINGrIME.

When the cheeks of dawn are blushing,
And a balm annoints the air;
When the carol of the songsters
BlithesOme rises everywhere;
When the art of reconetructing
Busiee every restless wing,
Then think that we have tokens
OF the presence of the spring.
When few stray bees are whirling
Round US in a broken flight,
And the little frogs, in armies,
Lift their voices in the night:
When the torpid wasp, combative,
Twists to loosen up his sting,
And the buds are busy bursting,
Then I'm sure that it is spring.
When the seeds within the furrow
Rub their drowsy little eyes,
And unbar the darkened windows,
Peeping out toward sunny skies;
When nature strives to quicken
Every little living thing,
And the hearts of all are happy,
Then know that it is spring.
So well all be bright and joyous
While the joyous sprfngtime stays,
Sowing seed in empty burrows,
And be good in many ways.
We will plant tho howars nf kindness,
Everywhere, for Christ our King,
For in lives thus poised by goodness
= 10 wiff De forever spring.

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

That most men dig their graves
with their teeth has seldom been
pointed out more forcibly than is done
in the Centu,y in an article by Roger
S. Tracey, entitled How to live
long" The three-score and ten limit
to human life is pronounced fallacy.
Death from old age, occurring at sew
enty FIVE or eighty, is misnomer.
Comparative Psychologists, we are
told, have set the natural years of
man at 100, even sometimes at 100,
and the reason why the overwhelming
majority fall short of normal life is
comprised in one sentence-we all eat
too much. He, then, who would live
to be old, retaining sight, hearing
and some digestion, not relinquishing
the power of healthy enjoyment, has
but to follow a simple rule. Eat
sparingly. Refrain from clogging
the system by an oversupply of food.
Never entirely satisfy the appetite,
and make it habit occasionally to
omit a meal or two altogether.
eff were to assign any one thing
as especially conducive to long life
from study of the habits of centen-
arians, it would be semistarvation, F"
says one authority quoted, and the
example is cited of one Luigi Cornaro,
who, having lived the pace that kills,
amended his ways when death threat
ened and SO reorganized his enfeebled
body by life of temperance and re-
straint that he lived to be 100, al
though the doctors gave him up at
forty. In middle life, from thirty FIVE
to forty-fve, according to DR.. Tracey,
there comes waning of the powers.
The effects of overindulgence in eat
ing or drinking are no longer vigor-
ously thrown off as in youth. If the
fact is not recognized and the same
habits are kept up as heretofore, there
is trouble ahead. But if tie individ-
ual adopts new regimen of diet, di-
| minishes his meals and regulates his
existence as becomes his soberer years
sort of rejuvenation follows and if
at the second climacteric, occurring
somewhere between sixty and seven
ty, there is a further pull up in the
food supply, regulated by the slack
ening powers of assimilation, hale
old age is extremely likely to ensue.

national pride, story is told ofa Ger

and grateful answer.

Then both turning to Pat, they de-
