One week later everybody was at the
railroad station, the president and
faculty, the trustees and students, the
mayor and city council, waiting with
addresses of welcome, while the plat
form was crowded with representative
citizens. and all about the station were
carriages filled with ladies. Only Isa-

hundredth time the letter she had re-
ceived from John Warwick the da,

A whistle was heard in the dis.
lance. a rumbling, as the train crossed
the bridge, the engine swept into view
around the curve, rushed past the sta
tion, slowed up and stopped, painting
heavily. The band began playing.
People broke into cheers, and ladies
waved their handkerchiefs. The pas
sengers, stretching their necks out Of
the train windows, wondered why peo-
pie were mobbing the tall. athletic
young fellow who stood blushing like
schoolboy and smiling TREMENDOUSLY.

THE POWER OF HABIT.
What Living Organisms May Become
Accustomed To by Slow Degrees
The Malay and Opium.

Dr. Dallinger has conducted some ex-
periments, showing that by slew degrees
some OF the septic heterogeneous, the
saprophytes, can be made to tolerate q
temperature which would be fatal to
their existence if experienced suddenly.
From the natural temperature of 60 de-
grees Fahrenheit he has succeeded III
making them bear temperature of 1853
degrees Fahrenheit by slowly increasing
the heat and turning.it carefully back
again when they become faint and
threaten to die; thus, by getting them
accustomed to it by degrees, he forces
them to live in new conditions, says the
New York Herald. In the course OF
eight or nine months they increase IL
size, are blotchy and greatly altered in
outward size and appearance, but
healthy. In the same manner salt
water medusae can be made to tolerate
fresh water; whereas if the changes
were suddenly made it would peove
fatal.
De Quincy educated his constitution
to bear 800 drops of 1audunum a Jay,
and after II years use and eight years
of abuse of its powers he gradually edn-
Gated himself to do with IL grains. On
one occasion he presented a wandering
Malay with piece of opium, which was
enough to kill three dragons and their
horses. To his surprise the Malay
swallowed the whole piece at once, but
as no dead Malay was found in the
neighborhood within the next few days
he concluded that the man was accus-
toned to it's use.

ireland is not so dangerous a coun-
try to travel in as it used to be-" said
Victor Herbert, relates an exchange,
The Irish are not such fire-eaters now
as they once were.
Samuel Lover, the Irish novelist,
was my grandfather, and he, in middle
life, had in Ireland an experience that
illustrated well the perils of travel at
that time. :
MY grandfather was on the way to
Cork. He was travelling by coach, and
on certain day he stopped for lunch
con at roadside inn.
"A servant led him to an upstairs
room. took his order and retired.
my grandfather drew up his chair
to the table, and soon the servant, re-
appearing, set before him a plate that
contained half grilled chicken. My
grandfather was about to fall to up
on the chicken when-cr-r-rack-hf
plate split clean across and the fowl
shot up nearly into the ceiling. At
the same time waiter, pale and
tremulous. ran into the room, crying,
He's safe. He's safe
Who's safer said my grandfather,

"Mr: O'Musgrave.' said the waiter.

THE TOY GIMkAST

ticular doll is kept sacred 1t is played
with only on the feast-day, and for
the rest Of the year it is put carefully
away. These festival dolls usually
represent some person of note, and
this year 1t is not difficult to guess that
many of the puppets have borne the
names of Japan's great generals. The
Japanese dolls house is very faith
full representation of Japanese in
terror, complete even to the little cup
boards, perfectly appointed. The Japa
nese children are very fond of the
dolls theater, and their taste for leger-
demain leads them to prefer Juggling
and conjuring toys to any others. The
same taste is shared by young China;
but, generally speaking. the Chinese
children prefer less intellectual amuse-
ment than the Japanese. The business
spirit of the Chinese empire is re-
f1ected in the rising generation, and
small limitations of commerce play a
large part in the Chinese chlldren's
lives. The owners of little toy carts
organize mimic trading expeditions.
The boys also play at war WITH ships
and soldiers. The less active Chinese
girl has many beautiful little toys OF
lacquer, ivory and porcelain.

the GREAT MAGICIAN.

What spell lies on the street to-day?
I found 1t dull not long ago:
Now these old houses, dim and gray,
Seem bright with a mysterious glow:
And even the sober trees look gay
That once called "a gloomy row.
All! then lorged for sunny fields,
Where bud and bell fresh leaves unfold:
But now the joy this pavement yields
Is quite as much as heart can hold:
Think You some great magician Yields
His wand, transmitting stone to gold?
Sweetheart you know the reason why
Such witchery hangs aboutathe place;
From one small window-aN too high
There shyly leans q flower-like face,
That smiles to see me lolter by,
Though Time-the tvrant-runS apace.
And be the morning dark or fair.
I carry to my daily toll
The light that shines from eyes and hair.
Which neither rain nor wind can spoil;
And to the grimeful city bear
Pure thoughts that naught can stain or
soil.
Oh! happy he who thus may take
Heart-Sunshine into mart or mill:
And happy she who for his sake
Can smile behind the humblest sill;
The world its wiser head may shake,
But Loves the true magician still.

CANDLE AS ENTERTAINER.
Various Stunts Which the Boy or Girl
May Make the Tallow Wick
Perform.

Grown people as we'll as children will
get great deal of pleasure out OF the
following tricks, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
l. Put nail in the end of candle and
set it In glass jar fill ed with water. The
nall will hold the candle steady. and It
will burn until nothing remains, al
ways rising above the surface OF the
water by reason OF the decrease in
weight.
2. Take a small picture cut from a
paper or book. and wrap it light round
a candle. Light a match or another
candle and hold the fame near until il
becomes transparent. Unwrap the pic
ture> and every one will be surprised to
find it printed on the candle.
3. Put candle unlighted into q
basin full of water. Let several try to
take it out with their mouths. not touch
Ing the candle with their hands. Every
one will fail. Then you put your face
In the water, and when your mouth is
near the end of the candle draw in a
deep breath and the suction of the water
will draw the candle into your mouth.
4. Allow some drops from a lighted
candle turned upside down to fall into a
basin of cold water. The grease will
form flowers. String these on the end
of wire. and green leaves made from
paper, and a vefy interesting plant will
be the result.
5. Heat piece of wire and. stick Il
through the middle Of candle. Make a
wick at both ends. Balance the candle
on two tumblers. Light the wicks, anl
the dropping of the candle grease will
make the candle seesaw. getting faster
and faster as it grows hotter. This is a
very pretty experiment, and will cause
great deal of amusement to young and
old alike.

A gown worn at the opera was a prin-
cess robe Of black, literally covered with
black sequins; andEwith this no jewels
were worn, as they would have detract-
ed from the effect desired. that one OF
grace and simplicity. A rival Of the
black sequin gown was white princess
with TINY silver spangles frosting it over.
Silver Is very fashionable just now, and

One disadvantage is its furnishing, but
as everybody else's does also it makes
less difference than IL one were the in

Red is trying very hard to lead, but az

able shade of the winter. Green might
almost receive this distinction, one sees
it used on so many good costumes, and it
is seen occasionally forming with fine
effect the entire dress. One effective
street costume Of deep red redingote;
skirt, and small hat of the same shade,
and the hat was trimmed with a rosy
plume. A. beautiful pink variation was
noticed, the gown Of pale pink trimmed
with leaves of velvet Of deeper shade.
A chou of pink tulle at the neck gave an
airy look to this rose-colored creation;
and one gazing at the whole would think
he were looking through rose-colored
spectacles:
Just now it is hard to tell exactly wha,
styles are to be. even the dressmakers
seem undecided as to skirts-waists car

about the broad shoulders, the fitness Of
sleeves at the top. But as to skirts; they
cling, and yet they stand out; few
dressmakers have begun to put crinoline
In up to the knees, though they may have
to take it out before the dress is laii
aside. There is tendency to show full
ness at the waist line on the new sprini
models, but as yet most OF the skirt

Plunging through smoke and fire,
