THE AGE OF UNREST.

Unrehective people are often heard
TO say that it is curious how folks are
always wishing for things they do not
have. Not at all 1t would indeed be
curious and Improbable for man to
wish fer what he had already. There
is in perhaps every human being a
spirit Of unrest a desire for change, an
eternal longing for continual shifting
about and alteration of surroundings
The man who sits at his desk dreams
of the sports of forest and stream; the
mountaineer sigh for the peaceful level
of the prairie; the follower Of the
plow builds castles in the atmosphere
Of the forum and halls of legislation.
But the most universal and persist
ent companion of the human soul is
the haunting desire for little farm
well fixed as to houses, shrewdly Set
to vine and fruit tree, fertile OF soil
and flecked with miniature pastures
wherein the Jersey COW may stand to
her flank in rich red clover, on the
side of hill, where II will catch the
last rays of the declining sun and
overlook the iron track on which
wretchei wardlings whirl into and out
of the maelstrom that We call the city.
This little farm is furnished with all
the accessories of pig, chicken. front
yard lawn, flower beds, clumps of IL
lac and rose. and all the calendar of
rural desirables. And back of it and
the basis of 1t all there is an income
that will sustain it. Even the dream
lest dreamer knows that the man who
makes and keeps these sweet and
beautiful things with his own hands
has no time to enjoy them. He can
not even pause to smell his own roses,
nor wear plume OF fragrant lilac IL.
his button hole
But all the same the universal fever
Of unrest among men In cities pre-
scribes this simple remedy for itself,
and declares that the smell OF fresh
turned earth is cure all.
And the man TO whose nostrils ii IL
familiar turns up his nose with
sniff and sighs for the crowded street
and the busy haunt Of commerce.
What man wants is variety-what he
peeds is rest.

A TALE OF A TUB.

The two pretty American girls had
met two delightful Englishmen on
the way across and had given COR
dial invitation, warmly seconded by
their mother. to Sir Charles and his
friend to visit them at their country
home.
One day a message came saying the
two men would arrive that afternoon.
The family was thrown into fever
of excitement, and many plans of en-
tertainment for their guests were sug-
gested and abandoned. 1t was finally
decided that as Englishmen are no
toriously fond of tub" and their
guests were coming directly from the
train, they should first be invited to
take a bath. After that the hostess
would rely upon the inspiration of the
moment.
The young men arrived promptly
and after some demurring were hur-
ried off to the bathroom. In about an
hour they emerged and went immedi-
ately to their hostess, saying, I'VE are
sorry to leave SO soon, but we only
came to make a call. and our train
leaves In fifteen minutes. MARY G.

LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL
ON A TREE.

John Grouse. 5310 Heiskill street,
Germantown, is the recipient of a
strange leap year proposal, which ar
rived from Maine tied tightly to the
trunk of huge Christmas tree. and if
the young woman in the land of
Christmas trees be in earnest the
strange communication will probably
culminate in q marriage, says a Phil
adelphia dispatch to the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
Grouse purchased the tree several
days ago, and. upon trimming the
branches, discovered neatly folded
note tied fast to the trunk.
The envelope was addressed: ITO
whoever may get this tree, with
wishes for a merry Christmas The
letter was written in a flowing hand,
as follows:
Il am a young lady, 20 years old,
and am desirous of becoming the wife
of good, loving man, who will pro-
vide home in some large city. !
cut this tree down myself, and with
every stroke Of the ak I wished that
the tree might make a merry Christ
mas and bring a good husband to
me-"
The name was signed and a post
Office address of a small village in Pc
nobscot County was given. Grouse
Immediately answered the note, ask
ing for further details of the young
womaffs matrimonial views and is
eagerly awaiting developments.

MONOCLES FOR WOMEN
THE LATEST FAD.

No longer is the lorgnette the badge
of the New York grande dame. The
newest fad in this direction is the
monocle for women, says the World OF
that city. OF course, the woman Oh
fashion could not risk her makeup
by sticking the glass in her eye. In
stead, she has the lens set in gold ana
holds it to her eye. Mrs. Oliver II. +.
Belmont invariably uses monocle at
the opera, and hers is, set in a gold
filigree frame. Posing the single glass,
she surveys the other women in the
parterre. Mrs. J. Fred. Tams. famed
as the mother of the beautiful Violet
Cruger, also uses the monocle on all
occasions. The glass bangles from a
chain. set with pearls. Few of the
younger women have taken UP the
monocle, because it implies impaired
eyesight. There is Mrs. Astor. for in
stance, who never uses any optical aid
in public except her opera glasses.

she decided promptly. Not for
worlds would she accept assistance
from Greer. She had dismissed him;
he had no right to intrude In any
way!
Heroically Roxana left the car, and
walked north. She had never been
alone on the street so late, and, re-
and the loneliness of the blocks, she
was really alarmed. She did not fear
the pedestrians she met as much as
those who overlook her. She dread
ed the sound of footsteps behind, con-
juring UP all sorts of horrors. As
she hurried up the deserted thorough
fare, it seemed to her that some one
followed. If she hastened, the pur-
suing footsteps quickened. When she
slackened speed, the other did the
same. 1t frightened her, and she be-
came breathiess. With the passing
minutes her terror gained. She be-
gan to run. Then the dread became
certainty. The other one would soon
overtake her. What If that negro had
seen her gold purse?
Ac>.,ss the ave Tie she saw m alley.
She had heard that thieves often
evaded arrest by disappearing in the
darkness of such places. If she cut
through might not she, too, escape?
made a sudden rush across the road,
a trolley grazed her shoulder. the
motorman cursed as he reversed the
lever. Terrified, she had all but
reached the desired shelter, when a
strong hand gasped. her suddenly by
either arm. She tried to scream, but no
sound came. Lifting her eyes her
glance met Greer's, looking sterniy
at her.
Il guess that will do for one night,
he remarked coldly. Come over to
the drug store, while I phone for
cab"
Completely unnerved Roxana fol-
lowed The reaction had been sudden.
She tried to remember what they hao
quarreled about, but could only reel
relief in his presence. Greer ordered
Come" he commanded tersely on
it's arrival.
Gratefully Roxana obeyed, then as
he was about to close the door, she
found her voice. Don't leave me"
i've no intention of doing So" And
he mounted by the river. When they
reached her home, Roxana's eyes
were suspiciously red.
We'll" said Greer. The bull pup
shifted respectfully at his boots. Greer
stopped and patted him on the head.
THE dog forgives me"
Then its mistress can do no less,
she admitted.
"a dog, woman and a walnut
tree began Greer teasingly.
Hush hush!" whispered Roxana,
with her hand on his lips. You know
l never really believed"
"Of course not" he agreed prompt
". Then as his arms frightened about
her, But, oh, Roxie, don't let us
play that game again"

CAUSE OF QUAKES,

Editor The Call: It may be re-
peated as a basis for thought or
two upon the cause of earthquakes
that the foundations of the earth. con-
sisting of the solid strata upon which
the surface rests. have evidently not
yet become permanently fixed. II
some of the temblors which have oc-
Cured recently at San Francisco
were caused by heavy blastings, and
others also recent seismic shakes.
why may not some of the quakes be
attributed to a settling and displace-
ment of the underlying rock founda-
tions by reason of the stupendous
weight of the millions OF tons of ma
sonry piled up on the surface in the
massive buildings constructed of late
years on the northern portion of the
San Francisco peninsula? We may not
know what gravitation is. but weight
is clearly one Of the causes of that
force. w. s. HARLOW

hurriedly from one compartment to
another. 1t was empty. Evidently
she had spent every penny during the
shopping expedition. But there re-
mained her wrist bag, into which she
frequently dropped small change. The
conductor went forward to speak to
the motorman. Roxana pursued the
search. In vain she emptied out her
belongings from the satchel. She found
no coin. Then she unfastened her
coat. Surely in the change pocket she
would fine a nickel. But the pocket
was as bare as Mother Hubbard's cup
board. The conductor returned. Rox-
ana was frightened. 1t was late and
she had quite trip before her.
II seem to have no change, she
commence5 nervously.

TO YOUTH.

IN EAR YOUTH, comrade wild sweet thou art;
Thou lurest to moods of glad excess,
~ joys joys closely round
They almost crush my lightly beating heart.
Inspired by thee, fancies start
To quickened life, and tempt to digress
The old familiar paths, seek the
untried else to freely dart
A as careless wanton wind
I love these that through my pulses fly
I hei ma that day find
delights have passed away shall
clasp what stays behind?
he in thee die.

The Universal Trolley.

The bridging of gaps in the network
of trolley lines between New York and
Boston has gone on more rapidly than
was anticipated and now the last OPEN
ing. that between New Haven and Wal
lingford, has been closed. AS yet the
service is disconnected and except for
the leisurely inclined tourist too slow
for practica! use, but there is no reason
why a through service could not be
maintained that would offer as many
inducements to travellers as the steam
road service. The Philadelphia New
York network was completed last sum-
mer. Slowly but surely the entire At
lantic seaboard is being bound together
by the universal trolley.
